In over 400 years, the Constitution of the United States has only been tampered with about 27 times. How many times has your government in Nigeria tampered with your Constitution? And how come each of those every times, the Nigerian people have been left with an even shorter end of the stick?!

The Constitution is supposed to be the backbone of the democracy. If it is tampered with and the result of that tampering has been even great levels of corruption which is what exist today, does that not signal a failure in the system that may require a complete overhauling or repeal of all changes made to it?

Has the Americans made a complete repeal of their 1776 Constitution, even with all the amendments made on it. So why should Nigeria do this? We will continue to amend it, as long as the country remains one entity, to rectify any error found in it, or to adjust it to current realities.

However if there is any major political cataclysm, like a regime change, or restructuring, it is then a new Constitution needs to be reenacted.

Kobojunkie:
Both options are terrible. Nigerians would rather have a system where the Governors are punished for usurping power and control, along with embezzling public funds. These are acts that violate the very Constitution. So, simply brushing that under the carpet to instead push power into the hands of FG creating a bigger power imbalance in the federation goes against democracy — it is illegal since the Constitution would need to be tampered with to make that happen.

Constitutions are always being tampered with all over the world. That's why the Americans have the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Amendments in their constitution.

Afonjackson:
Hope it captured OBJ begging for his dear life behind a desk before being asked to come out that they just wanted him to manage the regime.

Cowardice dey their blood.

Yet your people cowardly surrendered to OBJ at the end of your ill advised, self inflicted, grievous civil war.

Reading comments about you, it's very clear that you have a faulty foundation, a damaged reputation and a mockery amongst your compatriots.

The likes in favour of comments against says it all. Change your ways! It's not too late.

Imagine people knew you? What do you think they would have done to you physically? Be wise! It's not fun, it's not something you should laugh and smile about.

Be very careful! Have a nice day

You trolls on this platform, and hellinues troll too, therefore why the descent into violence threat against him? You must bear it as others are bearing your trolling too.

Meti99:
Until I travelled to the South East and saw how igbos built modern structures even in their villages that make their villages look like small London, was when I knew there's poverty in South West true true

Yes we hear you, all of you are billionaires in Igboland, while all other tribes are living in abject poverty. Congratulations.

Kobojunkie:
Onanuga is a liar! This is an attempt to play on the intelligence of the notably gullible Nigerian people to justify the hijacking of power and control over the LGs by the FG itself by way of a supreme court ruling that equally violates Section 162. This is an attempt to use an illegal move to try to rectify another illegal move, of course, to grant greater power in the democracy to the FG.

Section 162 does not give power and control over LG and LG Funds to the State Governors. Rather, the rogue Governors have been taking advantage of the LGs thanks in no way to the corrupt and inept government as well as the populace who have been asleep at the wheels of their democracy.

Those who knew the constitution and the Law better than you have given their judgement and decisions, and these stands until and if another constitution is fabricated for the country.

So therefore, your ranting and vituperation here is like the scratching of an ant on the ground, it serves no purpose.

When your governor was looting and flexing with what should be used to develop your LGA, there was no whimper from you. But when someone who want to develop your local community fought to rectify this anomaly and bring development to your village, instead of you applauding him, but because he defeated your candidate in the last election, you are here castigating him. Is that not witchcraft?

400 USD is too expensive for a tourist visa.

Then stay in your country. There are enough tourist attractions in Nigeria to satisfy your curiosity.

Emeskhalifa:
So you mean after the government went on her knees, crawling , crying and begging Dubai, this is what she was able to get??

I don't know , but this shiiii is so hilarious

Clowns in office

Is it necessary that you should go to their country? Stay and develop yours if you are not wanted there.

And Ahmadu Bello people k1lled Aguiyi Ironsi and 5 millions of your people. And are still invading your forests till today. What have you done about it, except to be forming Iron man in a foreign land.

FreeStuffsNG:
The State and Local Government Joint Account was created because council bosses were looting funds and not paying primary school teachers. Since that account was created, primary school teachers are no longer owed salaries. Sadly, paying the monthly allocation directly to the councils would not stop the diversion of council funds.

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.

The two paragraphs above are part of the inconsistencies in the Punch Editorial. In one breadth it blamed the LGs for owing primary school teachers and claimed that the problem was solved with the State-LGAs joint account while in another breadth it admitted that there is the problem of illegal dissolution of democratically elected LGA administration and replacement with caretaker committees funded from the joint account.

Another inconsistency is boxing federalism into a certain mould as if the independence of LGAs suddenly strips away the operation of true federalism. India and Brazil are bad examples because of their caste system against certain people and religions in their countries. The central government of Brazil is taking over indigenous lands by fiat while India's democracy doesn't pretend that it's a government of the Hindus by the Hindus for the Hindus so much that the central government can demolish Mosques and build Hindu temple to replace the Mosques. Which kind of federalism gives central government the authority to impose religion on a LG? That's no federalism and bad of the Punch to cite both Brazil and India.

The Supreme Court is in order by insisting that the LGAs democratically elected leaders can never be effective unless they enjoy financial autonomy. The constitution never denied or affirmed the LGAs financial autonomy so the SC is not wrong by recognizing that the same independence the federating States could exercise is because of their financial autonomy and same privilege should be extended to LGAs.

Primary School teachers were equally indicted too when it was discovered that many of them were always absent from work and many barely qualified to teach. That's the problem of TRCN that should ensure that only professional teachers in its national register are recruited , it's not entirely the fault of the LGAs. If the payment of primary school teachers will be a problem then their salaries should be deducted from source so that no LG executive will tamper with their salaries. The rest should be monitored by EFCC and NFIU. If possible build special courts to quickly prosecute and severely punish any corrupt LG official and/or traditional institution Head.

That state-LG joint account arrangement is nothing more than a piggy bank for some state Governors and that's the weapon they use to remove democratically elected LG executives and even strip the traditional institutions of funds and render them impotent ,so much that insecurity has taken over and some Community Heads and royal authorities are at the mercy of rich bandits,
cultists and criminals who can easily buy their loyalty by placing them on their payroll with the illicit funds from their crimes. In Edo state, there's already complaint by the Gov that the Oba is using cultists to collect ishakole to run its operation when it should be funded by the LGAs and not hiring alleged cultists he is now blaming for the insecurity in Benin.

Beautiful. The Punch editorial inconsistencies and solutions were accurately identified and postulated. Nothing more to add.

Wow!
Rev. Aro is your state overseer.

Yes.

NO HE IS NOT THE ANTICHRIST.



THAT ONE IS ALREADY HERE BUT NOT TRUMP.




TRUMP WON THE LAST ELECTION BUT RIGGED OUT.




AND SEE THE CHAOS THAT FOLLOWED.



IT IS LIKE NIGERIA WHERE OBI WON AND TINUBU STOLE IT, SEE THE CHAOS EVERYWHERE.



TRUMP IS A CHILD OF DESTINY AND GOD CHOSEN, NO MATTER WHAT U DO, IT WONT WORK.



THEY TRIED EVERYTHING, INCLUDING TO KIL HIM AND ALL FAILED.

With your moniker, #Stolen, it is not difficult for you to believe that any achievement by anyone is stolen.

Starberg:
That's my church too.
What branch is yours? Mine is at Ebute Metta.

Ijoka, Akure.

That's my church. I was in tears watching the Pastor's investiture yesterday through the internet. It is a well deserved honour for the servant of God, and an international recognition for Nigerians deep faith in God.

happney65:
And who brought Buhari? If not Tinubu? If no be Tinubu, he was whitewashed. A Man that should be in his Daura for life tending to his useless cows

Rubbish!

So it was Tinubu that was advising Buhari to contest since 1999 when he had been contesting for the presidency? You are turning the political logic upside down.

Racoon:
Hehehe! You are involving yourself in a rofo-rofo fight between emilokan and his northern co-conspirators? Do you know the behind-the-scene terms of agreement?

Perhaps you think the El-Rufais are civil as Peter Obi? Omatseye your finger will be burnt beyond redemption for asslicking. Bashir El-Rufai have taken Ogbeni Bayo Onanuga to the cleaners.

Now, Same Omatseye have also been humiliated by the uncouth son of Malam Nasir El-Rufai. This is the evil caste system they created in the APC, so they will have to live with it. Fingers crossed! Next one please!

The same way the uncouth son of the thiefman dealt with your tribesmen during Buhari's regime, calling you all unprintable names.

Check through his past tweets, you will see his evil diatribes against you all, but don't faint when you discovered this.

Ngwamankillyou2:
Obi won Lagos.

Tinubu won Nigeria.

Kukutenla:
How are LGs benefitting most with 20% of allocation shared among 774 units?

They will benefit, and their inhabitants too, when what belongs to them is given to them. 20% of trillions every month is a large portion to share around.

YouAreNobody:
I'm going to vote tinubu in the next election, I love the way everybody is suffering for the wickedness of ronu bandits and I want everybody to suffer this Yoruba government

Like your moniker says of you, you are nobody, and your opinion is irrelevant to the course of events in the country.

hammer567:
RENO KEEP ELPING US TO CAMPAIGN FOR PETER OBI.

HE IS THE TRUMP OF NIGERIA POLITICS.

OBI IS COMING.

You have run away from the hammering the South Africans were giving you on the other thread? Their gbasgbos were too much for you.

iamme1234:
Going to South Africa is like going to Ghana
Nothing interesting in their at all.
Very useless countries.

Yet your Biafran citizens rush there to trade in drugs, and claim Odogwu Southie back at home.

Goodvibes007:
This South African lady on this thread is cold mehn. She was just calling out our Ibo brothers anyhow.

They met their match in her/him. The few South Africans on this platform are aggressive, toxic, pepperish and sarcastic. They need to be because of the rude attack of some few mannerless Nigerians against them.
