Tinubu power no reach... You may need to go bk to school & get some knowledge on nigerian constitution and tinubu no fit do am. They no born tinubu well...

They don’t need to seize the state allocation. They will withhold the local Government funds and there is nothing your bunch of thieves can do about it. The governors are part of the problem of the country but they have support from their ppl the same ppl that will attack federal government on a daily basis

Nonexisting:
If you did youth service in the North especially in a local government office, you'll not be excited about this news. During my service, the LG chairman came to work once a month, at the beginning of the month precisely when LG allocation fund came. He would come to the office, share money and return to Abuja. It favored me though.

What do you want them to do when the state government is embezzling all the money and just put them as figure head with zero accountability. Can a thief hold a thief accountable?

flokii:
You're wrong.. the SC judgement will revive the Local Government system in Nigeria that State Governors crippled so they can sit on LGA allocations and divert monies meant for grassroot development into their personal pockets.
You don't know more than the SC judges.

Don’t mind the kolo

cadmanspize:
Nigerians judges blindly. LGA autonomy is a recipe for catostrophe...
States are close enough to the people.

If not for You and your criminal Governors the Supreme Court wouldn’t have intervened. The state is close enough to you and your team to continue stealing…lol

DMerciful:
How did Yahaya Bello became a governor? Flawed judicial system that ratified a rogue that wasn't even in the ballot.

Fix your electoral system so that the process is credible and people with credibility can win elections and use the state resources judiciously!

You cannot be talking of fg govt controlling local gvt resources and still talk of federalism

Is that what you can deduce from the Supreme Court judgement? Where did you see that federal Government will be controlling local government fund? Have you ever asked yourself why we blame the president for everything but never the governors? I am sure you are among those always calling the presidency but have never attacked your state governors for their reckless use of state funds.

Ojuntana:
You're uncouth and lacking in proper manners
Can you mention the part of our laws that says he can't have an opinion? You really think there's any gov who never misused LG funds? You really think so?
You're just a naive small boy

lol a naive small boy is better than someone that admits that governors misuse local Government funds and want it to continue because there is no Governor that has never misused local government funds. Way more foolish than I thought….lol

Ojuntana:
Use your brain. What Buhari wanted is totally different from this. What Buhari wanted would have made amending the constitution straightforward without the state govs stopping it with their selfishness. Once state legislatures are financially independent, they can take decisions without sucking up to govs. It was same SC that quashed it. Same SC is now giving fake autonomy that does not exist to LGs. It is intellectually fickle people like you that don't see the big picture. You are only transferring the gov's misuse of LG funds to the president. True federalism is when resources move from bottom up instead of the tickle down approach in use presently. Use your brain

Kindly explain how is transferred to the president? Obviously you are not even using your brain…lol.

Ojuntana:
Oh really? Now you're back to the constitution. The same constitution that the supreme court just overruled and you clapped.
So, the constitution is useful only when it suits you and when it doesn't, you simply discard it and use some means to overrule it. Your thinking is obviously shallow

At least shallow thinking is better than a clown that supports an ex convict. An ex convict cannot lecture us about Nigerian Constitution.

Deltatoto:
everybody that has commented lack wisdom.See before you give financial autonomy to LGs which is appropriate,the first thg tinubu would have done is to ensure states don’t conduct elections for councils.Delta election is on Saturday and nobody is feeling as if there’s any election coming up because once Okowa writes your name down u have won.You cannot have a financial autonomy for ppl that are hand picked by the gov.Our LGs are highly dysfunctional because of the way they get into office.So in as much as I support LG financial autonomy,the first thg to have done is make sure their elections are conducted by inec so there can be competition in the process.U carry money give who governor Dey control then you have not achieved anything.

Why do you that has to be the first thing? Even the one INEC conducted lol what was the result?

Ojuntana:
Have you ever heard of the maxim of he who pays the piper dictates the tune?

What Tinubu is trying to do is to invade the domains of the state govs by using the LGs. He knows like everyone else that the LGs were put under the states by the Constitution. You might not like it but that is how it is. The states are the gateways to the LGs. Expect ALGON, NULGE etc etc to soon release statements thanking Tinubu for this "landmark" move. Expect visits to Aso rock from them soon as well. It is a case of abuja boys vs the govs. If it was not, the NASS would have been the best place to achieve this without the assault on clear provisions of the constitution

shows us the part of the constitution that allows the Governors to embezzle local Government share of the funds?

Nice2023:
IBORI is a convicted felon and pls,read the Nigerian Constitution specifically section 137 and the electoral laws of the country section 182 electoral act as amended 2010.

And i what to ask u,why do u guys support criminals in this country?

How do u feel writing this rubbish?

That, he meets Tinubu all the time means it takes a thief to be a thief.

They will continue to defend thieves and later blame Government….lol foolish set of citizens

Ojuntana:
This is actually the part that gets me laughing. Folks like you make it sound like LG chairmen have been itching to develop their areas and it is the govs that has been inhibiting them. What grand delusions!

Most of the LG chairs are former and active political thugs of their godfathers. The few who are not are simply appendages and bootlickers.
Secondly, how many LG chair are actually resident in their LGs as we speak?

Lastly, Tinubu is an hypocrite. When he was gov, he wouldn't let anyone touch his LG funds. He sanctimoniously preached true federalism and devolution of powers. He comes in and he starts taking steps to decimate and whittle down govs and states simply because he wants to control everything even to the smallest. This singular act has repudiated all the talk of federalism from him over the years. Shame on Ariwoola who allowed his court to be used to carry out a coup on the constitution.

shut up! This rule with out leave Tinubu. Buhari tried to do same thing earlier so are you saying Buhari was interested in controlling everything? Does true federalism allow a governor to be an emperor? Does true federalism mean Governors can control local governments funds as they deem fit?

Ojuntana:
At least people are beginning to speak up against the aberration








When will you all learn to separate issues from personalities? We can deride Ibori for who he is but you can't fault this. He is even closer to Tinubu than all of you but he realises this fully negates the ideas and principles they harrassed OBJ for. What is more stomach-turning is using the SC to carry out such assault on the Constitution. Haba!!

Shut up idiot! A convicted criminal cannot lecture us on constitution. In fact if you have sense at all you will know that since he was convicted for stealing state funds it only means he is among the Governors that abused the privileges. A person like him should not speak on important issues concerning this nation based on his record

DMerciful:
The Supreme Court is a compromised court, everybody knows this. Forget this charade!

This is not the restructuring that would move Nigeria forward but state autonomy with resource control

State Autonomy to Governors that are transferring 760k Dollars for school fees just like that…. You guys are just mad.

bennybuhari:
He raised very valid points here. I do not understand what the judgement had to say about Section 162 (3). Has the Supreme Court set aside that Section or repealed it?

You can take the case back to Supreme Court for further clarification. This guy lacks the moral right to speak on this because he is among the Governors that abused the privilege

richidinho:


I said the same thing just now on Facebook

lol ex convict interpreting the constitution…lol. They kept stealing the entire resources of the state strangled each local government and now an ex convict that is supposed to hide in shame is lecturing the Supreme Court. Nigeria is gone.

Antoeni:
Sen Akpabio is Nigeria Most Unserious Senate President Ever, He Talks Before He Thinks.
A Very Mumu Man

And the useless lawan is what?

Namigotalktru:
Make e pain you die. Me I have food by the Grace of God because when they said focus on agriculture we listened. Una wan drink azul with mmmpiri money go rock am for Anambra. Let Obi add stout for you LMAO

The people exporting raw materials are they goats? Or those providing fintech services? If you like no go find work dey here dey wail

This is the most foolish statement a citizen can ever post. The greatest problem of this country is foolish citizens like you. This administration will favor me and my family…lol. Your only existence is to eat food….smh. This why your region remains the poorest and most useless because northern politicians knows that all you guys need in life to vote them is to give you guys small food and all your brains will start malfunctioning….lol. Disgusting set of humans

galantjoe:
I think the best way to address this food scarcity is to address the issue of insecurity in food baskets of the country. Farmers cannot go to their farms in Many northern state where many food are cultivated.

I am suggesting that federal govt should grant amnesty to these bandits. These bandits are no longer Boko Haram which is faith based rather they driven into banditry for economic reason - money. Like Yaradua did amnesty to Niger Delta youths, they stopped. Let Tinubu does same to bandits by paying them monthly stipends and make them surrender their arms and their criminal activities and embrace peace.

Can you listen to yourself? Keep your foolish suggestion to yourself.

001Lagos:
Did you read the news upside down?

They've caged Tinubu like the dullard he's always been inside aso rock

I hope all is well with him

Where was this clown when Buhari took rice from 8000 to 40000? CBN has stopped distributing free money to their region all in the name of food security…

CondemnBattery:
As senseless as you.

as senseless as a condemnBattery

[quote author= post=130890572]The Beginning of the whole thing :
The Nigerian government had filed a suit at the Supreme Court against governors of the 36 states.

In the suit, the Federal Government is seeking full autonomy for the country’s 774 local governments.

The Federal Government also requested the Supreme Court to authorise the direct transfer of funds from the federation account to local governments — by the constitution.


This will be a good judgement for the Local Government as long as the Logal Government chairmen/women ain't thieves and rogues like their bosses.

Slow and steady we will get to the land flowing with milk and honey with barbecue 😋.

Anything to move our Darling country forward in all ramifications is what we want at MANNA.[/quote]INEC must start conducting free and fair elections from the local government. There should be a ban on politicians that uses violence to win Election. It must be free and fair and that is the only way the people can enjoy development

SmartPolician:
I know that El-Rufai's son is uncouth and uncultured, but I totally agree with him on the last sentence.

You cannot impose a collosal failure on the people, no matter how tribalist or religious you get. Running Nigeria is bigger than Tinubu; dude has no innovative ideas. You cannot keep destroying this country and expect everyone to keep quiet.

Let's call a spade what it is. Nigeria needs a disciplined, frugal, energetic and innovative entrepreneur like Peter Obi to run it like a successful company.

He should shut up. Buhari was a colossal failure but his father and himself never spoke out. They should just keep quiet

richiemcgold:
He won't be saying this if his papa is not ignored by this current govt.

Nigerians know the real friends of the masses. Bashir is not one of them; neither is Tinubu nor El rufai.



Obi?
You mean that gbajue?
Despite all these disappointments, Tinubu is still a better leader.

lol APC is better party continue to enjoy your disappointment

9japride:
[color=#006600][/color]

Why didn't he make this statement during Buhari's time?
He has no moral right to criticise any government in power.

Exactly. If it was Buhari you will see this clown will be telling us how he is the best even though we know he destroyed the country

Ojuntana:
The way the North is tackling Tinubu this days sha

Did they tackle Buhari? The one that closed border and started the high cost of food in the first place. They should shut up because every time they got to BBC Hausa to deceive their ppl.

Muslims pandering to a perceived superior power. Cowards. But they will not hesitate to cut your neck if you are a black man

A Greater coward is the one that can only type on nairaland from his kitchen

Duality234:
Where's freedom of speech

it can be found in his home country. He was sent there to exercise his freedom of speech because it is needed.

each continent has their tournament....

so its proper and FIFA approved/recognized.

Why are you wasting time on the clown.

Namigotalktru:
Yes Boko Haram, corruption and insurgency also blossomed under Jonathan have you credited him with that? So if the rice was N30k how much is it today? Are you farming rice in your backyard or drugs?

So what you wanted was for us to vote in a failed businessman that used Anambra funds to build beer factory and one supermarket? Since he was so successful why don’t you go and live in the Anambra state and let us see you Dubai. KMT

The economy is tanking because you and your brothers only mass trade in illegality and imported goods. Importation devalues the naira because you import more than is manufactured or exported, so clap for yourselves you are contributing to the problem you are enjoying.

When you start taking accountability for the damage you do to the country things will get better for you

Buhari your Brother is a disaster to Nigeria but nepotism will never allow you to admit it. It is a shame that the north cannot produce one intelligent person to rule Nigeria. Every time we give you guys opportunity to rule we find ourselves traveling back in time…lol

If you want to stop importation then you must start manufacturing….lol but How do you start manufacturing in darkness? How can you farm when you guys keep releasing terrorist calling them repentant terrorist.lol. What is the outcome of the trillions of naira Buhari shared to you guys all in the name of rice farming Abi anchors farmers program? You guys embezzled trillions of naira with nothing to show. Enjoy your useless APC next Election kindly vote for them so your enjoyment can increase.

CondemnBattery:
True.

Thats the rigging format of the Dems.

Trump 2024.

only terrorists and those that want to Japa illegally will disagree

Focus on your country and allow Americans decide who wins. Coming to nairaland to say Trump 2024 is just senseless.
