■ I tell you.. Its huge victory for democracy.
How can it be a victory for democracy when the Supreme Court merely reasserted, as it did during the Buhari regime, the Constitution, highlighting the unconstitutional conduct of state governors who dip their hands in the LG account? undecided

I don't understand you people. The Constitution is clear on the officers to decide on how the money in the LG accounts should be distributed — the National assembly and state assemblies are involved; the Governor has no say or authority at all in this. Your governors are guilty of violating the very Constitution on which the country and states and local governments are founded. Why do you not react by suing them? Why do you not react by calling for their immediate impeachment? Why do you not react at all? This ruling by the Supreme Court will not cause anything to happen because, for something to, the people have to step forward and demand it. undecided

Local government autonomy is half achieved. The state independent electoral commission must be proscribed so that the independent national electoral commission assumes the conduct of election into electoral positions at the local level too. If this is done, then we can say the local governments are autonomous and third-tier governments in Nigeria.
Don't be deceived. The Supreme Court said the same thing during the last administration, and all it did was reassert the Constitution which clearly states that the account belongs to the LGs and not the Government. The distribution of the money to the various LGs are determined by decisions at the National and State assemblies. The Governors are not meant to access the account or even have a say in how it should be distributed. undecided

James Ibori and every other Governor who dipped their hands into the Local Government account stole money that they had no authorization whatsoever to touch and that is a crime against the people. It shouldn't be the president suing the governors but the electorates. undecided

COMRADES, I don't think Nigerian governors will obey this order, they will definitely come up with a strategy to continue with the old tactics
Stop saying these things abeg! All the Supreme Court has done, something it did back during the time of Buhari, and again this time as well, is reassert the Constitution which clearly states that the account in question belongs to the LGs and as such Governors have no permission to access for any reason. undecided

Essentially, all of your governors who have ever dipped their hands into the LG accounts did so in violation of the constitution — they stole from the Nigerian people. They are criminals and are best impeached and made to serve time for such violations by the electorates. undecided

Lies! The governors who had dipped their hands into the LG accounts are rogues and should be sued for doing exactly that. All the Supreme Court did was re-assert the Constitution on this issue highlighting the unconstitutionality of the conduct of said governors. undecided

The next things is to scrap the SIEC and inec should be the one conducting the election of local government same day with governorship and house assembly election that is when we will have development, because everybody we focus on governance.
The Supreme court ruling simply reasserted the Constitution in this case. So why would it want to scrap SIEC when SIEC is not the problem? undecided

■ If you allow your LG chairman to hand over your LG allocation to the governor then you and all the Indigens of the local government are the useless mumu and the joke not the autonomy and our beloved country
Welcome to Nigeria! That is in fact what has been happening all of this while. The zombie people stand back and watch their governors humiliate and pillage their accounts, and they do nothing about it. This so-called ruling was merely a reassertion of the Constitution. It is up to the people to decide whether they will allow their elected officials to continue with business as usual or not. undecided

■ If this were true, they wouldn't have changed all their info in a split second online. It's supposed to be a support system for women, "Women Initiative for Sustainable Empowerment and Equality (WISE) is a non-profit organization based in Kano State, Nigeria"
They are probably using the org. as a covert op for receiving funds in the name of LGBTQ+. There's no way they have been operating there as an LGBTQ group.

THE LG autonomy is unrealistic until the 1999 constitution is amended by withdrawing SIEC from conducting LG elections. LG & Guber elections should be conducted the same day by INEC undecided
What you are asking for has absolutely nothing to do with what happened this week though. It had nothing to do with LG autonomy. Rather, it was an attempt to excuse the many excesses of governments up till now where it concerns LG accounts when in fact the Constitution since 1999 has been clear that the accounts in question belong only to the LG, not Governors. What this means is governors who have been accessing those accounts have done so illegally. undecided

Advocating for something spelled out in the Constitution since the beginning?

I would rather all the governors who ever dipped their hands into the LG accounts be sued for what is unconstitutional and essentially theft. undecided

These governors are rogues who dipped their hands into accounts that they were not authorized to touch at all. So why this stewpid charade for Pete's sake! undecided

∆ Aren't they, the Wise org., stupid for openly portraying themselves as LGBTQ support group? This little incident could have cost their employees and members their lives overnight.
Do a Google search to find out how long Wise.org had been operating openly in the area. We are talking of an organization that claims to have been working with HISBAH police to sensitize the people in these areas about the needs and rights of even those in the LGBTIQ community. Dandaudas are not new or hidden in Kano. They have been a part of the scene in much of haisas land for a long time now. undecided

Don't merely rant about it online. Go to your senators and register your grievances with them. Call on others in your local government and get them together do the very same. Call other people in other local governments to let them know they can do the same. The sponsors of the bill have no right to force this on the people. However, if the people do nothing, nothing will change. undecided
