SmartPolician:
Unfortunately, you don't know how Nigeria works.

Or better still the LG can nominate a project and a credible contractor would be mandated to deliver the project.

ObiORBiafra:
Who will then own the money? The LG or the chairman? If it's the LG thsn it's not encouraging enough, I might as well loot #20b in 1 year instead of waiting on a 1b that goes back to the LG and not my pocket. Whom then are you compensating?

The money would belong to the LG and not the chairman or councillors.

SmartPolician:
Who will give them? LGA is an independent arm of government like federal and state. They don't owe either of other tiers to impress them. You can become an LG boss and start looting money, nobody can question you. When a country has a mentality of getting into power to loot money, you should know you don't
have a country in the first place.

The money would come out of the federation accounts.

In order to encourage development in the 3rd tier of government an annual summation of the best run LG must be given a cash incentive of 1 billion Naira while 2 best run 500 million and 3rd 250 million.

Don’t you guys think it is a good idea.

Guide777:
1. Ban all foreign investment by government officials both past , present and future.
2. Ban all vacations abroad by government officials/families and their both past , present and future.
3. Ban all foreign education by government officials/families both past , present and future.
4. Ban medical tourism by government officials/families both past , present and future.
5. Decree harsh penalties for corruption by government officials both past , present and future.
6. All government officials must educate their children in Nigeria.
7. All government officials must utilise local health care facilities
8. All government officials must vacation within Nigeria.
9. All government officials must not have foreign bank accounts.
10. All government officials must not invest outside Nigeria.
The above are part of measures to implement in order to restore Nigeria economically

You as President cannot ban state Governors on how they spend their money. That is not democracy but dictatorship.

Mad house. Why did the police abdicate their responsibility. Yet Tinubu is trying to invite investors to come and invest.

Svoboda:
Sometimes you need to isolate politics from discussions on economics. Lambasting the leadership of the ruling party isn't the answer to the problem.

So what is the answer. I thought they say we Nigerians are high achievers yet we cannot control the free fall our currency.

MEEVEET:
Vote buying has never really been an issue... If people actually see vote counts then buying would reduce gradually

May be.

XerXers:
Igbos are greater achievers in Canada than Yorubas. Igbos go to Asia more because we are traders by nature. Yorubas who used to dominate white collar jobs have now been overtaken by Igbos in that sector too. Meanwhile our trading routes in Asia has no rivals yet

Are you sure yeye man wey go yeye country.

Yoruba’s go to better countries. Our Igbo brothers they go to all those yeye countries, South Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia e.t.c

MEEVEET:
If you do that 95% of rigging ends

But would people who got elected by rigging allow it?

The only thing we cannot do anything about is vote buying even with the South Africa model if an electorate has decided to sell his vote then as he or she is above 18 years of age then it is an informed decision. It goes down to the wire who has got the deepest pockets. Both PDP and APC were involved in vote buying.

MEEVEET:
South African has a central collection system that everyone can follow I'm real. Time

They don't have collection centres that's the issue

Then we should adopt it, if it works somewhere else without rancour then why are we not adopting it.

MEEVEET:
No you can reduce it

The main issue with our election is collection centers that's the place rigging is done

We need to transmit results from polling units to central server

Two we need automatic deregistering of those who failed to vote in 2 election cycle

How come South Africa was able to conduct elections and everyone agree to the results. We don’t see some silly professor’s reading fathom results from the wards and LG. There was a big board that kept on updating as if it was automated.

nairalanda1:
LP's bad performance in the Edo election was, to use a common phrase, failure to read the room

Most people wanted the next governor to come from one zone., LP did not read the room and chose from the wrong zone. That alienated a lot of potential support.

It shows Obi’s parochial thinking. Let’s be truthful everybody wants to win and Obi is no massiah. We have not forgotten the cash transaction of converting Naira to dollars by his aides arrested by the police. I think the IGP should re-open that case.

shivisee:
Even if obi refuses to contest,we will tie his football empty head and hand together to contest! The humiliation he started for his tribesmen,he must complete it!

Oh boy u bad gan ni o😁

If I can go to my gtb bank atm and remove money seamlessly without Zenith, UBA, or First Bank hijacking that transaction how can we vote without political parties hijacking our votes.

Let us solve this voting conundrum as we have solved our financial conundrums.

So big thinkers give us solutions. Nigeria has a lot of smart people let us solve this problem. Even God during the building of the tower of babble said of these people think in one voice and thoughts then they would get to heaven let us confuse them and it was done.

So smart Nigerian’s let us wear our thinking caps and solve this problem.
Oya let’s go there.

Obi need to go & land leadership from his Hausa / Fulani masters after which they would give him independence after his apprenticeship. He has the glorious choice between Atiku & Kwankoso.

yarimo:
Obi must contest 2027 presidential election he likes it or not

The humiliation that man don collect never do. I beg spear the man.

If I was Obi I would not run again, I better be number 2 than face this humiliation,

phorget:
I am not a politician, my idea of existence is in line with communalism and socialism. You all can keep dragging who wins an election but I personally would prefer someone that makes nation building his or her paramount vision.

Jagaban has started that with the Lagos to Calabar express way.

slimfit1:
You are right Shonekan was in Lagos.

Shonekan was not a politician and he inherited IBB’s chief of Army staff Abacha. Politics 101 who keeps a serpent next to himself except a mad man.

slimfit1:
Until the people reject this fraud how the military won't use this rigging to plan coup I just don't know. This is surely not democracy if an election is rigged we might as well welcome a military that will be sanctioned cheaper to maintain. I hope America, France and UK are seeing this fraudulent election because when military do their checks and balances.

The military are on a 4 year term with president Tinubu, coup cannot happen in Abuja. Abuja is a fortress unlike Lagos, reasons why capital was moved from Abuja to Lagos.

phorget:
We dont need a politician, we need a nation builder.

Your eye clear now, you have Olumide Akpata as your new Governor in Edo State. If I was Obi I would just retire from politics or become Atiku’s running mate.

yarimo:
Obi and Aisha Yusufu are just interested in defrauding labour party

E be like say Labour Party na one chance. Obi suppose eat humble pie and be VP to Atiku in 2027

No vacancy in Aso Rock until 2031

Wetin happen now. This auntie never post in the last 3 days. Is it because OLUMIDE is beating silly. Why bring poor Obi out in the middle of the Night and your party can’t deliver.

Looks like there is no vacancy in Aso Rock until 2031. Jagaban is a real politician.

I hope they have facilities for snow like well heated home, warm or hot water and snowmobiles to remove the snow. If they don’t have these facilities then living there would be a nightmare.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
because the APC leaders we had from 2015 to now are very dishonest, unfaithful and unpatriotic

It is like we are caused. Despite having brilliant people we are running our economy to ground.

Kenya had a demonstration for 3 months yet their currency did not move in fact it stretched. Same thing the Ghanaian Cedis.

We talk production production production but these are not producing more than we are. How come our currency is on a free fall and their’s are on a fairly stable fall or even appreciating.

El Salvador & Ecuardor have done it Argentina is planning to do it. Because we don’t print dollars every thing would be priced moderately not like giving out politicians 21 million Naira a month. If we are spending dollars that we cannot print we would not give them more than $500.00 a month because you would only spend what is in the Kitty.

Another thing I noticed dollar tend to make the economy look good, I watch Miss Trudy in Zimbabwe, despite as poor as they are you will not see Okada or keke na pep on their streets. That is because dollar is their official currency & a $1000.00 can buy a lot of quality small cars why waist your dollar on motorcycles.

So we need to think of it.

I hope people can sheath your sword with Tinubu and face your clueless Governor’s on how they are spending your common wealth.
