1. Is it better than to have one corrupt person and party holding the entire nation to ransom at pretty much all 3-tiers of the Government? Last I checked, the FG has been accused of doing the same using INEC for, almost all 25 years of this democracy. So, I don't see how it makes sense to now hand LG elections directly into the hands of the same FG.

2. Yes, every state in Nigeria is meant to have a SIEC commission. That oversees state-level elections similarly to INEC at the national level .

SIECs are jokes. They are starved of fund by the govs, hence always conducting eyesore elections. If people still criticise INEC for lapses despite robust funding and regular conduct of elections, imagine what SIECs usually look like on election days. FG has nothing to ask from local government, this is better. At least, we're trying something new and different. You can't keep doing the same thing all the time and expect different results

Anguldi:
The still have their roles, a good number of infrastructural development. Governors ain't happy because they've been starved of funds

No one starved them of them, they are still receiving their own allocations from the FG, some are even receiving 13% derivation. They are just being greedy with LG allocations without anything to show for it

Blazebond:
We are watching naively while the F.G tries to take more powers away from the second tier of government for themselves,we are being blinded by stupidity because they ( F.G) know we are stupid.

But this is what the public asked for from the FG, why are you now sounding like you haven't been following the events from the beginning? Na wa o!

AcuraZDX:
The way you guys rant ehh.

So if Fubara conducts election tomorrow and his camp clears it all, INEC will sack the LGA chairmen ?

Lol. I don't remember Fubara being a politician to have had grassroot supporters

Good development

Lol don't worry about my family for me. My mama no born like rat

Read my post again, then you will understand that I was probably right about you. Living abroad doesn't solve your comprehending issue

immortalcrown:
Nigeria is a joke. You don't want to give the governors the allocations but the same governors are the ones to choose who will get the allocations from you. Are you not funny?

Na still the governors go put their puppets in the positions. No be the rulling party in each state go win most of the seats?

The autonomy is just for the collection of the allocations, not for the spending of the allocations. Each parish will still pay tithes to the headquarter.

I support local government autonomy. But the new policy will not achieve the autonomy. Remember that the elections will be conducted by state INEC, not the main INEC. With this, governors will make their puppets LGA chairmen and decide how those chairmen spend the federal allocations.

If you think the chairmen can decide to disobey the governors, think of how many LGA chairmen that are clean enough to boldly and successfully disobey their political godfathers. Remember that the puppets selected as LGA chairmen are the ones with rotten profiles that can be used to blackmail and silence those chairmen when those chairmen prove stubborn.

What do you propose? No chairman will collect allocations directly from Abuja and hand it over to governor just because the gov was instrumental to him becoming a chairman. It is much more complicated than that. If he does that, people from his local govt will petition EFCC about his conduct and how is he going to explain his action to EFCC? Chairman who has no immunity. Though, there are certain ways he can be useful to gov such as supporting the gov if and when he's campaigning for re-election.
You're even funny to think and believe that chairmen will receive allocations from Abuja and then forward it to the govs when they now have more financial responsibilities like pry sch teacher's salaries to be paying

Omotosho with useless judgement is like bread and butter, stay of execution would be applied for and status quo would remain while they appeal the judgement, by the time this case gets supreme Court his tenure would have elapsed .

You should know by now that both appeal and supreme Courts won't waste any time on delivering their judgement. It will be concluded before he ends his tenure.
BTW: why are you calling the judge's judgement useless? Who doesn't know that the impeachment was 100% political? Though, I was happy that the duo turned against each other

Throwback:
This guy strong pass Obaseki.

Who no know? Na him prevent Oshiomole from having upper hand against Obaseki because he was his former "student".

Truthsave:
I live in Germany 🇩🇪 with my wife and kids and that's the best choice I have made , Germany over useless Canada , any day , no natural disaster, free education, child's support, government support in every thing , if you have the money and connection, move on . Nigeria is not a country!!

Corrupt and unpatriotic leaders are the problem

MASTAkiLLAh:
opinion of a drunk imbécile

That's the truth, they have easier access to free money more than any other regional classification. I meant Niger Delta states youth if you can comprehend

StoneLucifer:
This is not d place to get such advise. Many advising u here haven't even passed Lagos to d closest West Africa country neither have they even made up to a tenth of such money u have..Go and do ur research well in an intellectual platform or forum. There are lots of poverty-stricken minds here with loads of jealousy, tribal & religous hatred in their heart. Be careful. That's all I can tell u.

You can't read? But of course, you can. You're just lazy. You would have seen that the two guys replying him earlier are based in Canada if you were not lazy

tensazangetsu20:
Exactly things are gonna get more difficult so it's best you make your decisions immediately and Nigeria will only get worst especially under Tunubu

So, we who are in Nigeria under Tinubu should kill ourselves if we can't get out "immediately"? . I'm sure you still have plenty of family and relatives in Nigeria except that you might have cut ties with them, you know?

MASTAkiLLAh:
you're a very useless human being and I'm sure the youths from your state are troublesome cultists that's why you're trying to project the failures of your youths on those of other states. Baby witch

Niger Delta youths are actually laid back, very lazy. That's probably because they're sitting on plenty crude oil and that gives them opportunity to make free money from oil theft and oil corporations

Touting which originated from a certain city where they see it as a legitimate source of living is gradually becoming a menace in cities of Southern Nigeria. RIP to the dead

I don't debate with nonentities and educated illiterates. You can now rest.

If you are the definition of being educated, I would rather choose to be uneducated. Poor home training

djon78:
Story who is the friend of judiciary pass the man

Which people have ridiculed judiciary if not this people

Fubara is just playing him at his game

He really underestimated fubara

A very big lesson

At the end of his four years in office, he will realise that he has no political weight

bigeliot:
So if they disobey what will happen? The judiciary has lost their respect for all I care. People obey what they want and disobey what they feel like. Let them rest in shame

Second runners up in all posts in the future elections will eat the fruit of their labour just like it happened to APC in Zamfara state in 2019

blaise26abj:
Abeggy Leave respect and decorum for fools and slaves . Stupidity is stupidity . There is no other way to describe it . With all the respect given to these useless leaders , what has been the benefit ? A stupid boy will grow up to be a stupid old man if he doesn’t change .

Take your respect and take several seats dude

You don't get it, do you? Nobody listens to you when your criticism is fool of names calling and derogatory remarks, the points you are trying to make flies off the window and you are tagged immature.

WikeTheDrunk:
The real way to identify people who were brought up by irresponsible parents is what you're seeing below. The internet never forgets. Ekperima.

So what? How does that address what I called you out about?

pacificom:
Our government should invest in Agriculture and make the sector to be more attractive than political offices in Nigeria. Presently Nigerian youths don't want to be affiliated to farming due to lack of mentorship which has make that sector to be unattractive for many years
If government can standout to invest in young farmers and even buy the end product from them at an attractive price. What a good way it will be to solve the problem of unemployment and hunger nationwide.

Youths are actually interested in farming but there is too much obstacles. I had been to some seminars organised by the state govt on agriculture and I had opportunity to meet many graduates who were ready and excited about it.
The obstacles range from lack of access to land for farming, virgin lands with big trees on which tractors can't be used (govt can actually help in this situation by helping in removing trees), many states don't have tractors, lack of hybrid seeds and seeedlings or insufficient or too costly, scarce fertilisers and too expensive and other chemicals like herbicides, security and protection of farms from ever roaming herdsmen, storage facilities for post harvest as well as access to market to avoid exploitation by buyers of farm products.
Govts have to understand these challenges first before they can address them and revolutionise agriculture in Nigeria. It is a shame that the yearly budgetary allocations for agriculture by FG and SGs had always been the smallest amounts

WikeTheDrunk:
I know people can be stupid but I never knew this man can be this stupid. The number of people who dwell in cities in the US is more than those who dwell in rural farm areas, so how come the country produces enough to cater for the citizens? It is through mechanized modern farming.

But this idiot called a president wakes up in the morning and give vague and foolish directives all in the name of speaking. I'm not surprised. A man who said they should recruit 50 million youths into the army can actually say anything.

At the moment, I'm not a fan of Tinubu but you have taken your madness to extreme by addressing the president who old enough to be your grandad as stupid and idiot. That's highly uncouth of you. But this is the outcome when you're raised by irresponsible parents

[b] States should stop the illegal practice of dissolving elected councils and appointing caretaker committees. Local elections should be free, fair, and credible to ensure accountability.

Lol at the Punch editor for giving unsolicited advice. Like his advice is new, like govs will simply stop the practices just because the advice comes from him

When will Nigerians( Africans in general) understand that marriage is not achievement smh

And a lonely life is

Chemlite:
I said what you called loyalty isn't loyalty,

It is loyalty, pure and simple. If it is not, then what is it? Laughing.

because loyalty must be to the state, not to someone.

You are indirectly saying that he's showing loyalty to the wrong side which I don't disagree with.

Fubara did nothing wrong.

Of course, he don bite the fingers that feed him. You don't have to turn against someone who brought you to limelight just to prove to people that you are not something which you are not

UnitedKingdom:
Even the Fulani knows fear will not allow them come close to South East. Them go collect.

Lol. Fulanis are not in the south east, yet your people are still shouting their names that they are killing the locals

But some Nigerians are ignorant and their ignorance is a serious problem for the rest of us in this country. How can an organisation with sane people as members tagged creation of ministry of livestock reintroduction of RUGA? Problems dey this country big time!!

Truvelisback:
Good day, fellas. How many of us used this stuff? The shock wey this thing give me ehn!

I can't even remember how many times I bought it. I would simply cut off its plug to avoid burning the wall socket. I normally used the wire directly
