FastReport:
Following the resolution of the longstanding dispute between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Nigeria, the UAE has set new conditions for obtaining its visa. The new conditions and standards were set following an agreement reached by the UAE and Nigeria for the resumption of travel for citizens beginning July 15. This was contained in a statement by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, on Monday. https://www.osundefender.com/nigerians-to-pay-n640k-application-fee-10k-bank-balance-others-in-new-uae-visa-conditions/

No be this same fraud be this?

Thormentor:
Nsukka parts of Enugu state recorded a bumper harvest of Tomatoes this year
as seen from Ikpa market Nsukka.

How many 1000 tonnes of tomatoes is this bumper harvest that we should concern ourselves with it? And why are you using pictures from 2023 for this post of yours?

Umuinyioku:
No, don't think like that. Let's address her present predicament before we think for the future.
Honestly,she needs our help. Where is our humanity if we allow her suffer with the children? Pls. Let's assist her.

I am not one of you!

Umuinyioku:
Hmmmmm. If you think so. But honestly,she needs help. Twelve children at this austere period is not a joke. coupled with the fact the husband absdonded because he's overwhelmed with the responsibility. Don't you think so,Prof.?

Go on and give her your help. And when she comes back to tell you she is pregnant with child number 13, make sure you bear it all yourself!

■ I don't think your point 1 is correct. The constitution doesn't give the state power to create any L.G.
■ If they had such constitutional powers, then the 42 LCDA created by Tinubu in Lagos state would have gained full legal recognition by now.
But till today,the constitution still talks about 774 L.G.

It does! See Sections 7 and 8

2. Whatever Tinubu created, referred to as LCDAs, probably did not qualify at all.

IfnobeGod20:
■ No doubt the national assembly and the state assembly can initiate impeachment proceeding against any elected official of the government within their purview. But the state assembly is the only one that have the purview to regulate the activities of the local government administration and not the national assembly.
■ The governor also see the conduct of the local government election through the SIEC and not only joint account between them.
■ Are you also aware that the supreme court said the state have the power to replicate or merge the LGA the way they want?
■ A governor can wake up tomorrow with the help of the state assembly and replicate any LGA or merge two LGAs together. Thankfully it was the same Tinubu that won the case.
■ Why I use the word half autonomy. Autonomy means having total control but does local government council have total control of their administration? They are subject to the whims and caprices of the state assembly and governor in oversight. That's why I used the word half autonomy because they have no total control of themselves.

1. Again, this is not true! Visit section 162 of your Constitution for clarity!

2. The Governor's job is not to conduct the elections. That job belongs to SIEC which is set up by the Governor. It is the same way that INEC, not the FG, conducts elections. The people are responsible for electing their officials at the Local, State, and National levels.

3. Yes, States have the power to create LGs; sections 7 & 8 of the Constitution speak to this. However, the same does not give the right over LG to the State Governor who created them. It is kind of similar to how the States are created at the federal level but does not answer to the FG either. Please understand and be clear about this.

4. Sections 7 and 8 are clearly indicated and have been since 1999. However, what Tinubu created were not LGAs— according to Section 7 & 8 of the Constitution— but LCDAs which are not recognized at the Federal level— FG does not fund LCDAs. Even to this day, Lagos is said to have only 20 LGs even though on paper in Lagos State, there are an additional 37 LCDAS which are funded, only by the State government.

5. Yes, according to the Constitution, it should! As I have repeated several times now, LGs as defined in the Constitution answer only to the State House of Assembly and the National House of Assembly— Section 162 of the Constitution—, the same as the State and the FG do.

■ na US say make he increase tax on citizen?

You no know Africans? It is always the US and the West doing all the bad things their politicians commit against them.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I am finally glad the Kenyan children are now sick and tired of hearing that old bullsheet and taking back their power and lives from the hands of their lying politicians. 🙂

The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the government of President Bola Tinubu.
He made the plea when the First Lady and wife of the president, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, paid him a visit at his Iga Idugaran palace in Lagos.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by her spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, the royal father observed that President Tinubu means well for the nation as he is a man who is grassroots-focused.
“All that I am saying and appealing is that we should pray for Nigeria and the president. We should be patient. Everything good needs prayers,” the statement quoted the president, the monarch, as saying

It is high time all these traditional rulers are thrown into the garbage where they belong abeg! These traditional rulers, from north to south, do not care about the plight of their people. They are in bed with the very same politicians responsible for the miserable existence of their people. So why continue to keep them?

During Buhari era I remember a girls school based in Anambra won awards in silicon valley California Vice president osibanjo welcomed them back Another girl's school based in Anambra won another award overseas So stop yarning what you are ignorant of

What the heck is this gobbledegook abeg! Stop already! 😣😣😣😣

DamnnNiggarr:
I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Hon. Ekene Abubakar Adams, a member of the Labour Party in the House of Representatives from Kaduna State. On behalf of our Party and the Obidient family worldwide, our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, family and loved ones.
His untimely death at the age of 39 is a tragic loss to the nation. It is in addition a blow to the much needed youth input into our political space as a nation. This tragic loss has come at a time when there is a nationwide clamour for increased youth participation in our political leadership. As Chairman of the House Committee on Sports and Representative of the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, Hon. Adams has already, in his short tenure, made significant contributions to the development of sports in Nigeria.

Leave all of this matter abeg! How much damage did the man do to Nigerian people and how can Nigerians recoup their losses even over his dead body o'jare!

“Those behind sponsoring the chaos in the Republic of Kenya, shame on them because they are sponsoring violence against our democratic nation,” Ruto said at an event in the Rift Valley town of Nakuru on Monday.
“I want to ask the people of US Ford Foundation how they will benefit from the money they give to sponsor violence.”
“We are going to tell them if they are not interested in democracy in Kenya, if they are going to sponsor violence in Kenya, if they are going to sponsor anarchy, we are going to call them out, and we are going to tell them that they either style up or they leave.” The president stressed.
The Ford Foundation, which aims to promote social justice and democratic values, has not responded to Ruto’s allegation.

If Africans never blame America, the US government, and maybe even Bill Gates, dem never talk finish! The delusion is real ooo!

How much loan have we collected so far all in the name of this Solar power scam?

It go don pass over $10 billion in the last 25 years o. Nigerians are in serious gbese! No be joke at all! The scam is real ooo!

DMerciful:
■ You're the one asking people to use cucumber if they can no longer afford tomato. The anticorruption agencies were setup to fight corruption. Citizens must get them to fight corruption instead of citizens to take that responsibility. You think prosecuting people who have a lot of money from stealing state resources are easy to prosecute?
I told you earlier, you don't give practical solutions but textbook solutions

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The programming is indeed strong with many of you!

Thank goodness the Kenyan Kids have helped prove to the world that the over 200 million Nigerians living in Nigeria are instead the cowards of Africa! 🤣🤣🤣

IfnobeGod20:
■ I think you're misconstruing issue. The House Assembly have no power to singlehandedly remove a chairman but can recommend his removal, just the same way the national assembly cannot remove an elected official at the national level but can recommend to the executive or president for the removal or discipline of such person.
■ Put in mind we are operating a federating unit. The third tier is directly under the control of the second tier of government.
■ No doubt there is no half autonomy but in principle that is what the local government areas are enjoying. You cannot say you give autonomy to a local government areas but the second tier of government will still be the one controlling it and even organize its election, then, where lies the autonomy?
■ The governor will always determine who and who will be the chairman by only handing over to the chairman of the state SIEC who he wished the chairman should announce as the winner while the state assembly regulate their activities by formulating laws to guide them and exercise oversight functions on them.

1. The State and the National House of Assembly are empowered by the Constitution with the right to remove elected leaders from office including the President himself.

2. If you pay close attention to section 162, you will, again, find that control over the LG(third-tier) is ceded, not to the State Governors but to the National House of Assembly and the State House of Assembly. The only interaction the State has with the LG is in maintaining the Joint account where funds are dropped for all LGS in the State — nothing else.

3. I don't know what exactly you mean by half autonomy at all. And again the Governors are by law granted no control over LG matters and funds.

4. Not according to the Constitution which instead has it that the LG Chairman's are elected by the people. Please visit section 7 of your Constitution for more on this.

IfnobeGod20:
■ You're very wrong here my brother. Each 774 local government areas in Nigeria have its stipulated allocation for each month. No local government that doesn't have an aggregate amount allocated to it by federal allocation but they are aggregately sent together with the state allocation to a joint account mainly manage by the state governor.
■ The local government areas generate its own IGR and spend. Have you heard before about local government tax collectors. They are many all over the local council areas in Nigeria. You will see them with local government tickets that they use to collect tax about and on the road.
There was a time I have the spreadsheet of allocation to state and local government but I have lost them now.

1. Section 162 of the Constitution instead has it that the account is maintained, not managed, by the State Governor.

2. The LG-generated IGR generated is not a part of the topic of discussion here at all.

OlujobaSamuel:
I never used the word sue, there is difference between sue and charging to court for criminal proceedings.
Sue is for civil matters.
Criminal cases are prosecuted, you can't prosecute someone as an individual, only the govt can, even if you report a case to the police with a criminal dimension, eg, fraud, the police will charge it to court, court refer it to DPP, DPP takes up the case, you the complainant then turn to prosecuting witness

What in the world is this one now rambling on about for Pete's sake!

∆ And the backups are what they are. For backup trips.

Ah, I see! You decide that they are backups and that is how it should be? wow.. the programming is for real! 😀😀😀

DMerciful:
We should not be providing alternative to our suffering.
We should get EFCC and ICPC to do their job instead bending ourselves to accommodate their ineptitude

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The programming is real!

∆ Speculations. Backups are not for everytime use na

You are the one who claimed they were to be used as backups without evidence.

Decotecho:
∆ All talk. What actions have you been part of that succeeded in modifiying the political/legal landscape?
All I'm hearing is the usual, "they should do . . . ", "you people should do". Easier said than done.

If you lived here, you would have seen me among those working to collect petitions and rally people to vote and more. I don't sit back and allow injustice fly in my community.

blowjohn:
∆ It's possible through 2 planes are the ones he and the VP will fly in na.
The others are for backup/security etc

Who told you the supposed backup planes are not put to regular use?

Nonsense!

DMerciful:
That would be a busy body citizen that has excess money to waste

That is just you are concerned with? You are robbed daily of your right and mandate in that country problem is being construed as a busybody citizen by people whose opinions should not even be worth a Kobo?

Bennycollins:
The truth is Nigerians mostly rejected the APC on the ballots. There is a reason why over 80 percent of the results on the IREV can't be read.
Sadly, they will still snatch and run away with it in 2027.

They snatched it once and the response is to let them snatch it again? Una no fit snatch am back like the Kenyans dey do now? Why are they not waiting until Ruto's first term expires to do something about their mandate? They are not as "wise" as Nigerians, abi ? Ugh!

vikiphy89:
However, the governor said that records available to him showed the state is paying N30,000 minimum wage.
So APC miscreants no see this statement?

So, the governor no dey interact with his own people at all to know what is it that they are dealing with? I mean telling us that a Governor is unaware of how much his own office pays for minimum wage is telling us the government is removed from the problems of the people.

April4th:
∆ I've said it before. Somebody or a group of people at the Abia state ministry of finance has been diverting part of the workers salary. The state government needs to look into it properly, even the state accountant general is a big suspect.

Wetin be this tales by moonlight abeg!

OlujobaSamuel:
∆ A private citizen can't initiate a criminal proceedings against anyone, that's why the case is always between the state and individual/group/company

A private citizen cannot sue an individual/a company/or government agency?

∆ Have we been practicing federalism in the true sense? Did you take your time to read the decision of Justice Agim?

It is not magical system or driven by spirits. It depends a great deal on the people working together to make the system work.
