The State and Local Government Joint Account was created because council bosses were looting funds and not paying primary school teachers. Since that account was created, primary school teachers are no longer owed salaries. Sadly, paying the monthly allocation directly to the councils would not stop the diversion of council funds.

States should stop the illegal practice of dissolving elected councils and appointing caretaker committees. Local elections should be free, fair, and credible to ensure accountability.

The two paragraphs above are part of the inconsistencies in the Punch Editorial. In one breadth it blamed the LGs for owing primary school teachers and claimed that the problem was solved with the State-LGAs joint account while in another breadth it admitted that there is the problem of illegal dissolution of democratically elected LGA administration and replacement with caretaker committees funded from the joint account.

Another inconsistency is boxing federalism into a certain mould as if the independence of LGAs suddenly strips away the operation of true federalism. India and Brazil are bad examples because of their caste system against certain people and religions in their countries. The central government of Brazil is taking over indigenous lands by fiat while India's democracy doesn't pretend that it's a government of the Hindus by the Hindus for the Hindus so much that the central government can demolish Mosques and build Hindu temple to replace the Mosques. Which kind of federalism gives central government the authority to impose religion on a LG? That's no federalism and bad of the Punch to cite both Brazil and India.

The Supreme Court is in order by insisting that the LGAs democratically elected leaders can never be effective unless they enjoy financial autonomy. The constitution never denied or affirmed the LGAs financial autonomy so the SC is not wrong by recognizing that the same independence the federating States could exercise is because of their financial autonomy and same privilege should be extended to LGAs.

Primary School teachers were equally indicted too when it was discovered that many of them were always absent from work and many barely qualified to teach. That's the problem of TRCN that should ensure that only professional teachers in its national register are recruited , it's not entirely the fault of the LGAs. If the payment of primary school teachers will be a problem then their salaries should be deducted from source so that no LG executive will tamper with their salaries. The rest should be monitored by EFCC and NFIU. If possible build special courts to quickly prosecute and severely punish any corrupt LG official and/or traditional institution Head.

That state-LG joint account arrangement is nothing more than a piggy bank for some state Governors and that's the weapon they use to remove democratically elected LG executives and even strip the traditional institutions of funds and render them impotent ,so much that insecurity has taken over and some Community Heads and royal authorities are at the mercy of rich bandits,
cultists and criminals who can easily buy their loyalty by placing them on their payroll with the illicit funds from their crimes. In Edo state, there's already complaint by the Gov that the Oba is using cultists to collect ishakole to run its operation when it should be funded by the LGAs and not hiring alleged cultists he is now blaming for the insecurity in Benin.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

God bless you for this sensible submission.

Realtruth2023:
Try and be sensible naaaaa this is uncalled for

Shattap dia! No be true im talk?

LordBillionz:
The same Chinua that rejected a national honour.

Say that name Chinua Achebe with respect! You disrespectful son of failure.

Not him that instead of being a positive force that could have propelled the country forward, worked against a positive leader, Jonathan, to hand it over to those who have dragged the nation to ruins.

All he criticised under Jonathan got worse under the people he endorsed and you think him a man to be respected?

Soyinka a dishonourable man and a hypocrite.

Rest the soul of the great and honourable father of African literature, Chinua Achebe.

Mkpi!🤣

Chinua Achebe that died a lonely man. The information we got from your brethren is that he committed suicide🤣

The man drank sniper🤣

Bobloco:
The Gbaju e crooner has now been handsomely rewarded for his silence and for not speaking up against the worst regime in the history of this country.

This is someone who spoke against one of the best regimes in the history of this country, the Goodluck Jonathan government. He even went as far as describing the then president, Goodluck Jonathan, to be worst than Nebuchadnezzar.

Don't worry, we will also honour the Chinua Achebe by naming Okija Shrine after him🤣

Kill them and their supporters.

001Lagos:
Toyin arrests Ayo because he insulted her for voting tinubu.

I thought Tinubu supporters on Nairaland say that only Igbos castigate people that supported tinubu?

Tinubu lost almost in all Yoruba states because they don't like you and sees him as opportunist and failure . He lost in Lagos , Osun where he's mother and father came from.

That he said her son will die soon as not an insult, it's a threat. Go and learn!

Sheistoopretty:
Congratulations

Watch how these wretched poverty-ravaged use_less goodfornothing men of Nairaland come after her and say things like "Toto business is selling" " all thanks to clitocurrency""

They think every girl is like their sisters at home

97% of Nairaland men can't even afford 2 square meals a day right now not to even talk of 3


Nigerian men are Use_less..... All of them

You sha want attention.

Okay, I have gifted you one like for this inane twaddle you put here and another like for the pic on your signature. I admire your flat behind your flat brain.

Justiceganduje:
Tinubu will soon congratulates Obi.

On being made the president general of Aguata Descendants Union.

englishmart:
Dangote said Nigeria's import dependency is akin to importing poverty and exporting jobs" This is someone who only values foreign workers. I know of an abysmally inept Filipino mechanic who doesn't know 22 spanners but earns 5k dollars+ monthly. The site has over 50 workers but their cumulative salary is less than N5m monthly. Once your skin is light, you're an engineer even if you come from prison.
Dangote doesn't believe there are competent Nigerians, and that's why an Indian who doesn't know the difference between ampere and voltage is the head electrician to electrical engineers with decades of experience. The cement he produces almost free of cost is sold at a more expensive price in Naija than he sells in other countries on the continent.
He should stop crying. Nigeria doesn't revolve around him and Edwin

Thank you👍

onuman:
Doesn't mean anything.
In Nigeria, Tinubu’s supporters have assigned to themselves the mark of superintelligent sect since their APC appointed INEC and Court judges did APC desires for Nigeria.


How do you see a presidency that's still resisted by the larger majority of the population a year after?
You are the hypocrite indeed.

You're still not making any sense. How does anyone's choice stop you from making yours? That A supports a candidate does not mean B should support the same candidate. That's why it's called Democracy.

That guy was stupid by resorting to cyber bullying and threats.

YorubaForum:
What about these ones who Excreted 150 wraps from their anus? we didn't see the news on frontpage (30th June)... Ohhh, I guess because they are yorubas? Bigotries.

Eweduland.com

E no hard nah, go and create Akpuland.com🤣

onuman:
What is "kpai" before the court judges? No meaning.

Tinubites will now resort to illegal detention, instead of court prosecution.

Even if half of Nigerians are dying of starvation, don't call on Tinubu government which uses police to arrest possible initiators of anti government protest.
See why protest against government policies can not succeeed in Nigeria.

How would you react if I say your entire family will kpai soon?

Don't be a hypocrite.

Unperturbedpota:
Funny enough he is a Tinubu supporter

Obidi0ts are shameless.🤣

He's now a Tinubu supporter 🤣

DMerciful:
If only Nigerians take action again the ruiners of Nigeria. Oppress the common man but defend the polithiefcians

What is this one spewing? The way some of you think nauseates. Even if you were Toyin's sworn enemy, you should know that guy messed up big time. I pray Toyin doesn't forgive him. That guy should be punished.

001Lagos:
The Obidients movements are strongly for Peter Obi .
Other LP candidates contesting for other offices may not really get the strong support that Obi enjoys from the Obidients .

The Obidients will speak in one voice when our man MR PETER OBI is contesting for president and that's what the Obidients are all about .

Lagos state used to be APC state but Tinubu lost disgracefully to Labour party Peter Obi. That's what the Obidient movement would do again anytime presidential election comes.

The Obidi0ts speaking with both sides of their rotten mouths as usual.

Methinks y'all said the Obidense movement is not for Loser Party alone when your handlers wanted to establish a directorate to coordinate Obidi0ts in Loser Party.

So inconsistent!

I'm sure y'all would start looking for what to say again when your lord and saviour leaves for PDP as expected.

Yinmu for y'all!🤣

Coolsperm:
This country is now something else, even we Yoruba Muslims are no longer happy in Nigeria

Even we Nyanmuri flattheads.

Seun who is the mod who pushed this?

Commiserate not Commensurate!

Mindlog:
How many has your father and uncles bought for your sisters and female cousins?

Thank you so much for providing an appropriate response to that inconsequential riffraff.

Major1984:
That's bad statement

He made a worse statement. And the only language his ilk understands is to give it back to them in equal measure.

Balablue64:
look at his narrow shape head like tinuvbu's flaccid dick

So, you were peeping when he was fucking your mother?

You this boy🤣

finallybusy:
Super mid song. Selena Gomez is the only reason I listen to it. Congratulations to Rema anyway. It is not easy. Nigeria on the map once again.


My patience paid off. There are friends of moderators whose topics always make front page. Let me use this chance to curse the bingos who it’ll pain that I stole the first-to-comment position. In the same way I came here before you, I will succeed in life so I can watch you animals languish in poverty. Shit-eating mongrels.

An inconsequential riffraff who suddenly emerged from oblivion. We don't know you here...and soon, you'll be on your way back to oblivion...this time till eternity.

ApcBacteriafonj:
Just imagine this tout make Davido avoid this idiott forever, ungrateful Yoluba snitching F00ll

Frustrated yahoo🤣

surgical:
if you can not behave like a fool you can't be a batist or apc supporter

99% of Obidients are Nyanmuri

Uhmmm

SpecialAdviser:
Useless BATerians that supported this evil government even hailing the drug lord when he visited UK should return back to Nigeria.

People running away from their country and supporting the perpetuation of evil.

There is enough accommodation at Obalende under bridge.

God bless Obidients all over the world.

You mean the cursed Obidients?

Faber:
Let them recruit Agbado miscreants na...

Better for Agbado miscreants to die in Ukraine fighting than to die for nothing under Tinubu.


1 liter of Fuel: 900 naira
1 cup of beans: 800 naira
1 cup of garri: 200 naira
1 cup of rice: 450 naira
1 tuber of yam: 1,500 naira
4 tomatoes: 600 naira
1kg of gas: 1,200 naira
5inches bread: 2,500 naira


How Agbado miscreants want survive without jobs...Omo better to enlist in Ukraine military. A word is enough for the wise.

Na hunger go kill you...you had better start learning how to work instead of coming to Nairaland to lament like Ojukwu 🤣

Lindlady:
Ebola Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria beyond redemption.

In what way as regards the numbers presented?

Crimecity:
So this is what the interview he did on bbc igbo is all about? Selling ur own people for ur own freedom? Chai ofeke nwoke!

What is this one saying? Is he not an Igbo man? An average Igbo man can sell the entire Igbo race for a wrap of suya.

Ojukwu sold millions of Igbo to their untimely death in the name of Biafran war, remember?

So, it's not new nau!

Millimann:
The stupid cultist has been rewarded as an attack dog of the Tilumbu government.

E pain am😜

Create street for Achebe and Ojukwu in Igbo Eze🤣

atiku4President:
Not a good name for a place where reasonable people live

Go and create street for Achebe and Ojukwu in Ekwulobia.
