Just imagine if all these were happening in the southeast, a certain people from a certain region in Nigeria would have been insulting the entire Igbos, you will hear and see words like:

They can't even rule themselves and they want to rule Nigeria or an .... man is an ..... man's worst enemy, they hate themselves, now it is happening in the north, they are all quiet...

It can happen in south east cos you people don't have kingdom. Name one if I am lieing.

Nwaikpe:
The idiot called Onanuga, speaking for the piggish government thought they could rope Peter Obi in. Peter Obi in his wisdom never replied the bastards because little did the Adviser know, politics does not play out that way.


Peter Obi has always been on the side of low cost governance. And with this supreme court ruling, lets expect every Local Government Government to have their ow 20 special advisers too, and ministers.

How can Obi be on the side of low cost of governance and gave out 400 cars to traditional rulers in anambra for his re election.

Some of u just banter like you were still in JSS2


This guy is one of the best performing ministers and this very project is the only one he's yet to implement in all he's ever embarked on

Just Rest

Since their brother lost election, they don't want to hear any good things about Nigeria again. The country will move forward, whether they like it or not.

He don't own them but just a good gesture. He still want to give the best hundred jobs. Tell us your state and let us know, if he his not part of those who couldn't pay the current minimum wage of 30k. Don't go and die of hatred.

Someone who never won anything for Nigeria

He won for Nigeria. According to the other guy, he should come down and personally hand it to the president. This guy done fresh oh. Those who always donate money to him in this forum, hope you are as fresh as him. The guy dey cash out from senseless mugus.

Nobody says he his not a good man by giving out to the needy. Is the money from a legitimate means. Let him clear his name cos he maybe another hushpuppi in disguise. You see most of the so called crypto and forex traders who always boast about making huge profits are lies. They made money from somewhere else but disguises as what they claim.

The cabal that dangote claimed are more brutal than drugs cabal will likely stop this from functioning after a while.......



The problem with Nigeria is having food to eat as a family, but also having bad family members who wants to see others stay hungry because they can secretly steal the food to fill up their stomachs while pretending to be hungry with the rest of the family.

. They can't cos it is a government stuff. Nobody can sabotage it, except the presidency itself. Government is bigger than individual (s).

DatNiggaDaz:




Dem don beam their tribalism on top our sister from another region. See the noise they are making. They want to Sack her & give the position to a stupid yes sir madam fool to allow them do whatever they like in the ministry. She is a thief like every appointees of the bulaba administration

The thief in aso Rock just spend billions to buy a new presidential jet.

The former Minister of Humanitarian affairs stole billions of naira & the emilokans told her to report to efcc & take a bow with her loots

The fulani former minister who embezzled billions on a fathom air Nigeria is no where to be found under the Radar.

The former kogi state governor who stole billions is playing hide & seek with thieves of efcc while they ate pretendin about his whereabout.

Our close door sister who have challenged the Status quo of doing things anyhow is now attacked by thieves who has stolen the futurebof Nigeria to abyss .1,5million while they ignore the worst corruption under their very nose because it was perpetrated by emilokans from their region.

See what tribalism, nepotism and bigotry brought by mandate grabbers has done to Nigeria.

If she was from another tribe, same you people will attack her. Hypocrite

onomej4u1:
useless government. What can 600 bags of rice do for most States with over 7m to 10m citizens?
20 trucks carrying 30 bags each per State translate to 600 bags of Rice.

Why is a truck carrying only 30 bags of 50k rice of 60 bags of 25kg bags of Rice. Is that not waste of resources.

Our leaders are clueless and all the palliatives will be use to settle part faithful in each State

The best could have been identifying the poorer people in each town, that is if the teams will be truthful and credit some money to them. Politicians will still loot them. If state governors, assembly members both national and state and chairman also support and key into it by also contributing, then it will work because they will be able to monitor. I support that if they contributed too.

MasterJayJay:
They made it 25kg so it would appear that it's big

Let's use the normal size which is 50kg. The 1,200 bags of 25kg will be 600 bags of 50kg rice.
600 bags for 1 state, that's for 600 families.
600 families times 36 states (plus Abuja) = 22,200 families to benefit out of millions of families.

600 bags multiply by 20 trucks is 12000 of 50kg bag rice for each state not 600 bags. Get proper education. That is a primary school calculation. Let state governments, national and state assembly memebers imitate the effort of the federal government. Am not saying they have done best but they need to be greater collaboration between them.

Una too they make noise. Today na beg una dey for Nmandi kanu after all the boast here an offline.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. Reno Omokri has done and said much worse to Tinubu in the past. Yet Tinubu personally celebrated Omokri on his 50th birthday and wished him well.

BAT is always teaching Obi leadership while brutally exposing the fact that the Agulu Gbajue is not mature and emotionally intelligent enough to lead all Nigerians to include those who hate or criticise him passionately.

With the propaganda Arise tv used against Tinubu and Apc during campaigns, president Tinubu still sent the founder a delta igbo Obiagbena a birthday wishes @ 65. I watch how one of the lady presenter and Ruben abati were surprised when talking about the birthday wishes.Tinubu is so so far ahead of Obi in all ramifications. Forget the hype and the packaging his people used last year. It was a desperation of producing a president at all cost.

kingbee90:

This Local Govt financial autonomy is not going to work. Trust me, these governors will definitely fight back.
Dem go still treat Balablu BULABA fvckup in 2027.

That is your wish, enemies of progress. Obi will soon become politically useless within the next six months.

SmartPolician:
The FG shouldn't spend from LG allocations. In states where there are no LGA chairmen, save the money in an account where it yields interests until it is disbursed. Don't use their money to pursue your political agenda.

FG should pay monthly salaries of workers whose LGA has caretaker chairmen to the account of the various council and set up a team to monitor the chairmen for prompt payment. It shouldn't be an issue. It is doable.

Olatundex22:
someone being taken to court by same PDP governorship candidate and you people talking about APC, try read before commenting please don’t be looking stupid in public forum

MajorOvakporaye:
I thought gbegiri miscreants said that the PDP candidate has been disqualified totally.

You people don't always read well to understand cases instituted by different candidates. Anselm Ojesua is another candidate that contested with Asue Ighodalo and his case is about Asue not registered in any place to vote but inec in their defense prove that to be wrong. The appeal Asue and Obaseki have went to the court for is the one Shaibu obtain a court order disqualifing Asue as the pdp gubernatorial candidate for over 300 hundred eligible members of pdp who were not allow to participate in the primaries that elect Asue Ighodalo as pdp candidate.

You should be concerned about labour party gradually going into extinction.

OneCandleAway:
Nigerian youths still sleeping. Very soon Big brother naina will start to distract them. Have you notices only in Africa they hold big brother yearly in Nigeria only. No other African country has done big brother yearly like us. Because other African youths are too serious about their future to be distracted by big brother.

If these Kenya youths were in nigeris they'll set RCCG on fire.

Including dunamis, that the lead pastor openly campaigned for Obi

Chimarto:
They should form meger with LP, PDP to get ready of this evil government.

If they like, let them merged with united nations. The dynamics of last hear election will not work again. Religious campaign and the drug cases are dead now. When LGA begin to see real development in their domain, many of the constituents will vote for Tinubu because hardship will reduced drastically. Roads that lead to farm settlement be will taken care of and this will have positive to cost of food.

mrvitalis:
Seems you have comprehensive issues...
Those who were killed where those who failed to surrender...

Mind you the coup failed in the eastern and western region... The coup online succeeded 100% in Northern Nigeria


Nah but it's pretend it wasn't Igbos that stopped the coup too

But again igbos are bad and should not be trusted is that not more reason to divide Nigeria?

Why did you people not clamour for Biafra than participating in 2023 election? Suddenly Biafra struggled took the back seat when you people taught obi will win but resurface after his loss. Hypocrite

Policemen kill Nigerian national in South Africa, Diaspora's group demands probe
By Luminous Jannamike, Abuja

A devastating incident has sparked outrage and calls for justice, as a 43-year-old Nigerian citizen, Prince Ebuka, was allegedly shot and killed by South African police in Danielskuil, Northern Cape.


According to reports, Prince Ebuka was extrajudicially killed by the police, with eyewitnesses claiming that he was unarmed and posed no threat to the officers.



The circumstances surrounding his death are still unclear, but sources close to the family revealed that Prince Ebuka was a law-abiding citizen who had no criminal record.

The Nigerian Diaspora Forum (NDF) has condemned the killing, describing it as a ‘senseless and avoidable tragedy.’

In a statement, Hon. Chike Amadichi, Country Director of NDF, urged the South African authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident.

He said, “The Nigerian Diaspora Forum (NDF) expresses its deep concern over the recent tragic event in Danielskuil, Northern Cape, South Africa on 17th May 2024.

“We urge the public to stay informed as we closely follow developments and cooperate with the authorities to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation.

“Our commitment remains strong towards advocating for justice and upholding human rights for all Nigerians living in the diaspora.”

This incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of Nigerians living in South Africa, many of whom have faced xenophobic attacks and harassment in recent years.

The group also urged the federal government to take decisive action to protect its citizens abroad.


As the investigation continues, the Nigerian community in South Africa and beyond is mourning the loss of Prince Ebuka, a husband, father, and friend who was brutally taken away from his loved ones.

His family and friends are demanding answers and justice, and the world is watching to see how the South African authorities will respond to this tragic incident.

AFP

You hardly hear of other Nigeria tribe been killed in South Africa. The igbos are into drug selling. My cousins live there and they confirmed it too. Yorubas, Edo and deltans are mostly into yahoo. South Africa police don't go for yahoo guys but they hate drug dealing cos their school children are now sniffing it.This guys disguises as businessmen. They will own one small business but will be driving cars worth millions.

Also remember that Primary school teachers will not be paid salary, and other staff of the Local government.
It's going to be a show down between State Government they may what the people to suffer to blame the Federal government.
My problem with Tinubu is doing the right thing without consultation or looking at its consequences.

The federal may assume the duty of payment to the LGA workers. Don't you think it's possible

phemmie06:
Congratulations, at least you will have a rest of mind and be yourself.

Sultan of Sokoto was a serving military officer when his father died in the ill fated plane crash with some family members and When he was chosen as the emir his appointment as military officer was terminated

I Sultan wasn't terminated but he did voluntary retirement. He still recieve his benefits from the military. Honestly he should have just followed the sultan of sokoto pattern or don't take the kingship. According to the his people, they bodly said it hasn't happened before in the town. We now worship money too much in Nigeria. A king whether been first class or not shouldn't descend so low. An ADC is like an errand boy position but you will be rich and connected. Many people who may not or couldn't pass through the chief of staff to the president, uses the ADC to penetrate the president or governors. He just used the military to disguise about retirement cos if Tinubu tenure ends, he will run and continue his kingship and just do voluntary retirement with the military. Mustapha hamza an ADC to Abacha is an example of the position.

Sarcastic101:
The only thing the LG autonomy will cause is that local governments would be funded directly from federal government's and not through state government anymore.
This is a very good thing for a country that does have corruption in it but there're a few problems with it and that's why Peter obi choose to stay silent and watch, the problems are as follows:

1) IT IS UNNECESSARY: The only reason it was implemented was to curb corruption at the state level of government,if we didn't have much corruption in the country then there wouldn't be need for the LG to be autonomous. Most developed countries don't have autonomous LGs so Nigerians who see it as a step towards progress aren't well informed.

2) IT WILL BREED MORE CORRUPTION: The LG autonomy will make the distribution of funds more complex and create more loopholes for embezzlement. It'll allow for more people to be able to access government funds and each will embezzle to a sum total higher than what one state government used to, for example Lagos state used to receive just an amount of money from the government and the state might embezzle the funds but that will be just once then the rest will be sent to the LGs but now Lagos state with 22 LGs with receive 22 different amounts of money which will be embezzled 22 times by 22 different LG chairmen making the money short more than it will before their autonomy.

3) IT WILL CAUSE CONFLICTS BETWEEN DIFFERENT LGs IN EACH STATE: Not all LGs are of the same size, population or generate the same amount of money for the government,if all LGs in a state are given the same amount of money the bigger LGs will complain that their fund is to small for their size and that of the small LGs are too much for them.
Even if the money is shared according to size there'd still be conflicts surrounding equality of funds.
State governments have had these problems with each other in the past and it's bound to triple due to this LG autonomy.

4) IT'S A TACTIC FOR THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT TO DISTRACT THE MASSES FROM SERIOUS ISSUES:Now everyone has forgotten about the hunger and inflation ravaging the country and we're now talking about LG autonomy.
The government did this out of fear that nigerians might be brewing for protest against bad governance emulating Kenya so they used this to distract the masses and it worked.

Peter obi knows all of these and that's why he didn't congratulate anyone, he'd react to APC dismay when this New policy starts revealing it's dark side.

I'm tired of seeing people blame Peter obi for not congratulating the government when they do something that they should have done since, we're so used to bad governance that we now tell the government thank you when they do what's expected of them.

It shows you don't really follow constitution. All LGA in Nigeria will continue to recieve in percentage based on output from LGA to federal. It as all been soon in 1999 before criminals governor start siphoning the money. No LGA will complain. Obia okpor in river is the richest local government and no other local has ever complain about them since 1999, same as Oredo is the richest in Edo state and there are no quarrel about it. What will comes directly to LGA is enough for them to bring development to the grassroot. Edo state government received 55b from federal account for just 2023 and that would not have been share equally, the least LGA in Edo will have close to 2b and it is enough for the chairman to pay salaries and provide projects in 2023.

ALTERNATEID:
Wetin una wan person wey chop Anambra LGAs money for 7.5 years to talk? Baba run Anambra LGAs with caretaker for over 7 years only to conduct election about 6 months to the end of his tenure.

He can’t tweet against the judgement considering the widespread support the decision has received and he can’t tweet in support as it would be hypocritical of him. He will sit this one out till the noise is over.

Which six months, he forcefully conducted election in January and his tenured elaspse in March. That is two months. It was even the court who mandated him.

helinues:
Ndume is currently nursing some sidelining pain. Poor him.

If government are not aware of the hardships in the country, why are they taken measures?

I tire oh, supreme court verdict on LGA is another wonderful measures. Tinubu removed his children and others in juicy work like nnpc and that is the cause of crying.

PresidObi:
Temitope Ajayi will just be talking because he is in the presidency.

North vs south west

Game on.

No game, Tinubu will win again. Ndume can't go against his governor who is the political godson of the vice president. He will even beg to come back to the Senate if he is not careful. You people major consign is how to get vice presidency in 2031 because we south south might just get it and that means the likely chance of you people to get in presidency would be 2039. Be hoping for imaginary fight between north and south west. Nzogbu nzogbu ways and politics Soludo warn you people, you are still engaging in it.

mrvitalis:
The truth is I'm happy for internet

Yorubas would be out if power sooner or later... Relax.. They just exposed themselves

From pastors to islamic scholars to traditional rulers to social commentors

Even sowore... That one has attacked obi more than tinubu

Politics is a long long marathon

So is now a crime to recognize a global icon. You people should be celebrating like the people who in a local government in Abia for autonomy given to LGA.

press9jatv:
Haaa INEC should delist him then 🙃🙃🙃

Story for god, pdp is sinking in Edo state, so they want to drag people with them. Let them present fact just has Shaibu presented his case before the court.
