What part of the news report talks about the governors suing the federal government for shortchanging their allocation

I thought you are reasonable person, but your response show arrogance even when evidence was present to you.

Google is your friend, check for yourself

keemsleek:
Based on Gej paying half allocation she/ he is kind of right that Gej didn't deliberately pay half allocation and to support her stand, this what I found out.



Alright, let’s break it down clearly comparing the three presidents so you see the real difference 👇
🇳🇬 Under Goodluck Jonathan (2010–2015)
Allocations to states were normal FAAC sharing based on available revenue.
Nigeria depended heavily on oil money then.
When oil prices crashed around 2014–2015, total money dropped.
So states received less money, but:
❌ It was not a deliberate “half payment policy”
✅ It was simply low revenue coming in
👉 Reality:
States felt like they were getting “half,” but it was because the national income reduced—not because Jonathan cut it.
🇳🇬 Under Muhammadu Buhari (2015–2023)
Oil prices were still unstable early on.
Many states couldn’t pay salaries.
Federal government introduced:
Bailout funds
Paris Club refunds
Allocations were still not huge, but support increased through loans and interventions.
👉 Reality:
Not high revenue, but federal support kept states afloat.
🇳🇬 Under Bola Ahmed Tinubu (2023–present)
This is where things changed significantly:
Removal of fuel subsidy + FX reforms increased revenue.
FAAC allocations rose sharply.
📊 For example:
Total FAAC sharing:
₦9.18 trillion (2022)
₦10.9 trillion (2023)
₦15.26 trillion (2024) �
The Nigerian Inquirer
States’ share alone jumped massively (over 60% increase) �
The Nigerian Inquirer
👉 Reality:
States are now receiving more money than ever before, even though citizens feel more hardship due to inflation.
🔑 Simple Comparison
President
What Happened to Allocations
Jonathan
Fell due to low oil revenue
Buhari
Moderate + bailouts/loans
Tinubu
Highest allocations ever
🧠 Final Truth (Very Important)
No president (including Jonathan) officially said:
👉 “Pay governors half allocation”
What people remember as “half allocation” is actually:
Economic downturn (low oil price)
Not government policy

Technically the he/ she was right Gej didn't deliberately pay half allocation.

I like and appreciate your analysis.

I think Buhari approach was better, even if there is drop in oil revenue, it shouldn't impact the country sharply as GEJ did it. Because GEJ did not meet the price as high as that and many people like Okonjo Iweale, Sanusi, were warning him on the way they spend the oil revenue in peak period (which is abnormal high due to sanctions on some oil producing country) without saving for lean period. That was supposed prosperous season for the country but it was squandered.

Since you understand everything, why not just share evidence of Jonathan being sued by governors for failing to pay the 27% federation account that they own jointly

Check the attachment below

foleskay:
You lied. Jonathan never paid half allocation to any state govt during his tenure. Bring ur facts. Aregbe was using osun money for capital projects and abandoned the civil servants

What is the reason behind ballout fund Buhari was paid to some states when he came into government.

Many of you understand nothing. See below

Jamieb:
Work of APC . I wonder why they're scared of a candidate that came third in the last election. What are they afraid of

What is Tinubu afraid of, after having 32 Governors in his party

Eraddray:
I can honestly say Osun is better now under Adeleke than it was under APC.. because where was the money in Osun going when baba Hafusa was paying half salary...
The same aregbe that joined ADC because they did not give him the Minister he was looking for.....

Nigerians should use their heads d not allow any politician use them ...

It has never been the government of the people.. rather for their own personal gain

Everybody are talking about Aregbe paid half salary, but forget Jonathan refused to release full allocation to the states, which hit low IGR state like Osun state. Thank God for Buhari ball out fund for the states

EnglandAmaka:
Tinubu is a one time President

I seconded you, T- pain doesn't deserve the second time. But Obi can never be the option

Tinubu is the really TAX MASTER.

I believe experience in global finance and economy should be the criteria to select Minister of Finance, not just a person with big grammar that can defend inactive oo wrong doing of the ministry.

Cattle Ranch is only longterm solution to this problem

I always laugh Obi anytime I read he is consulting Notherner to support him. ADC give Obi ticket at my foot! (Obi) The person they want to play think he's playing game.
If Northerners support Obi in 2027 will means they never learn from 2023 Tinubu support, he will crush them than what Tinubu is doing to them.

Make him put Wike into his position.

Only power matter to Tinubu.

Tinubu should just tell us, Buhari wasn't the one finished the last administration

madridguy:
Nice one from Jagaban. You will surely take us to the promise land.

Even after the demise of Sai Baba, you still respect and adore him.

A promise land where a litre of Petrol is #5000, a dollar will equal 7500. Rubbish! Tinubu doesn't send a common Nigerian, his attitude seem like "go die if you wanna die"

HacheNoire:
Israel is nothing without the US.


If the US should completely step aside, Israel will be the 37th state of Nigeria!

The Nigerian Armed Forces will conquer it!

Ebonyi will even better Israel

T pain just dey add more pain to Nigeria. He send anybody

pongwa:
Hmmmm, there is no Muslim or Christian in Yorubaland. This classification is foreign to us and a dangerous antecedent. The leaders of Odua nation have to ostracise this man

Shut up, Adeboye was turn full time consultant to ensure Ambode and Sanwolu emerge as xtian Governor in Lagos. He never shy away from demanding for it. What is now foreign in this

CYBERWEAVER:
I am currently planning to get married. I’ve been with my babe for about a year now.

After several consultations, we agreed on a wedding budget of about 3 million Naira.

But I keep asking myself one very honest question: how do I commit that kind of money to someone who hasn’t really shown the same level of effort back, even in something as small as 5k, despite earning a little?

Asin, I never smell her 5k since we started dating.


At this point, it’s not even about the money anymore. It’s about intention, balance, and simple acts of kindness.

Even on my birthday, I didn’t receive a gift from her, and that stayed with me more than I expected.

I’ve never had to deliberately test her money, because genuine care and small acts of giving usually show themselves naturally over time.

To be clear, I’ve been carrying most of the financial weight in this relationship, and there’s hardly anything tangible she has ever done for herself without at least my 50% contribution since we met.

I don’t complain, but I also don’t want to ignore what I’m seeing.

As a responsible man, I’m trying to be honest with myself before I take a step I can’t easily undo.

So I want to ask people who are married or have real experience: if I go ahead and marry in a relationship where this is the current dynamic, what should I realistically expect in marriage?

I’m not trying to assume the worst, but I also believe experience speaks louder than hope.

Decision is yours, I was once in your similar situation and trust me, men become more scared, anxiety and over think when marriage is coming closer. I feel exactly what you feel and mine is even with some other things. Despite all my over thinking, I go ahead with the wedding and to God be the glory we are doing good.
Your observation is genuine, and i can tell you, it will take a deliberate change of mind for her to to be giving even in the marriage. In my own case i gave her excuse that she was a student at the time but it just a little change when she is working. Though women will spend their last card for your kids

But as you are considering her financial contribution don't forget to look at what attracts you to her in the first place, what makes you stay with her for that long, to even extent of planning wedding.
Mind you, Woman roles in marriage goes beyond money contribution. Look at her characters, skills, faithfulness, respect, ability to prepare you for (work, outing for success), to give you courage, training your kids in such a way you like, just picture the perfect wife you dream of, if she fit in.
Note, even if your girl friend is giving you now, know she is borrowing you, you will pay multiple in marriage. Women money is her money while man's income is family's money. Man should know, he has larger percentage of financial responsibility in marriage if not 100%.

Good marriage is not based on both party financial contribution, but peace, respect, faithfulness, God fearing, ability to endure, supportive, communication, forgiveness, commitment and many more. Pray to God for guidance.

Say no to cultism. Post says 'cult leader'. Those in the video linked his death to politics. Confusion everywhere.

There is no confusion in it, it will difficult to separate politics from cultists, especially in southern part of the country. Though it difference but they support it other. Similar to bandit in North

Most this fine boy pastors are just using pastoral to disguise, their hand never clean. They evils

SisterAnn:
What is the use of releasing a list of names without attaching a face, state of origin, local government area, town and village for full identification since the list is for our consumption?

Do you know how many people bear Mohamed Sanu or ifeoma njoku in Nigeria?

Use your head before posting please.

Don't mind them, they want people to start attacking you for having Njoku as your last name

This List will not complete if below Names are included:

Tinubu
Shetima
Atiku
Obi
Wike
David Mark
Saraki
Yaya Bello
Mattawale
Tambuwal
Kwakwanso

Zonefree:
You called her to second a motion and you're asking her what motion is that?

Jokers on seat!

Yes, he did well. Because he knows she didn't pay attention to what they are discussing. Or probably he expected her to have different opinion on the issue once he asked her to second it but he was surprised she seconded it easily. That why he asked her what motion are you seconded

saintkel:
but u supported a Muslim Muslim ticket here in Nigeria simply because Tinubu is from ur side or Yoruba?

Tinubu is a Christian

SoloHill:
If the person gives his life to Christ, subject himself to the influence of the holy spirit and the word of God and and increase his love for God the tendency due to past history Will greatly reduce and eventually disappear.

See, this is where the problem hide. Many people who claimed to repent in most cases corrupt the house of God. Yes, few of them surrender totally to God will. But majority still indulge in it, even if they were caught, they will excuse them for trying to adapt with new way of God and with t8me they will stop.

Something concerns CAN with our Politics

How did she tempt him. If it was her sister or relation that came to help, that is how he will rape her too.

You guys are rascal. So even if you are tempted, should you fall. Plenty girls dey outside, why the one in your house, why the one in your church, why the one in your street? I tire for una ohhh

Try to connect with the reality, do you think those in church, office, neighbours immune from this kind of assault? Even this what some girls are using for a living. Men will melt when it comes to sex, keep away adult female from your house, it's easiest temptation of close proximity.

Things are happening but were keeping from outside hearing.

Your mother history want to repeat itself onn you.
I will advise you to forgive him, but don't forget to take the advantage of what happened to subdue him .

Only thing that is constant in life is Change.

Because he is enemy of my friend shouldn't automatically turn him to my enemy.

Democracy is extension of divide and rule of colonial master

All we have to do is to leave Iran and we would be doing that very soon and they will become tumbling down...


Always miscalculating and oversimplifying issues. It's what brought us to this point in the first place. Its what started the unnecessary war.


I sometimes wonder how trup built his business empire. Maybe by trial and error!

You are asking how Trump built his business. That shouldn't be hard to get. He came from elite family, so buying businesses, business ideas, using political influence to gain market and access. Because, the man Dumb, i also don't think he's creative. But when their is money and power, all things are possible, they will be working for you
