Nasa28:
Why would someone start a thread on a topic he/she know nothing about?

freshest4live:

From what l understand, l don't think there's anything called restructure fund, rather what people are saying is that states should find ways to generate their own income. No one said anything about restructure fund.

pryme:


Plus you can't touch those Governors even if the loot the entire state treasury.

yaki84:

is it fair for a state to get loan from banks, build power plants, at the end the power he produces is transmitted first to the national grid n later small fraction is being transmitted back to the state. The state will still be left with the burden of settling the loans plus accumulated interest.
I generate money thru taxing my people for consu,ing excess liquor, another man kills them and ban them for the same purpose, but at the end he will also share from the funds i generated from those liquor consumers.
The problem is that u people just went to school, u r not educated.

Viergeachar:


Are you a dullarddd

All we are saying is that states should fend for themselves and stop relying on the FG for stipends.

How well has the FG alone been able to diversify the economy from over-reliance on crude oil

Is musiwa your blood relation? You post like him.

PureMe01:
I believe u left ur brain somewhere before typing.If u Dont understand d meaning of"bigot",u have no biz replying me.none of these honorable men u mentioned above made any sort of divisive/inciting statement against any region/religion before and after elections talk more of actualizing the threat.mind u,it's not abt d party,its abt d individuals in question.ur Fulani herdsman president is incomparable to d sagaciously mellow and tolerable blessed memory Umar Musa Yar'adua,so Dont even go there.d rise in d agitation of secession and restructuring is as a result of d ineptness of ur Daura master in diplomacy.i dont want to talk about d state of d economy,dat one has just degenerating every second.I Dont have to spill all these.u already know them but u can't stop fooling urself around,I understand.
anyway a bigot and and an APC penny-paid promoter like U won't see reasons with d above atleast u have to be paid month end.

Lol villages are ruled by traditional rulers no need for senseless Ward government, hw useful has local government been self? We shld make councillors, local government chairmen more effective.

oladeebo:
The three tiers of the government LG, SG, FG had been hijacked by the political bigwigs and Urban Duelers in Nigeria, all these political office holders had vacated the Village and resident in urban centers, make the Local secretarial as vacational camp.
Abuja is the home base of Senators, Rep members, not to talk of ministers and others.
The capital city of each state no longer serve the home of governors, state house of Assembly members, commissioners alone but chairmen of LG, Councilors, Supers and there civil servants!
Congested the big cities and deserted the village, leave local villagers with out the opportunity of nearerest government, feel belonging of the government, this must be stopped, The government and the administrators must draw nearer to the people, and the only way to bring the government nearerest to people, bring resources to people, bring social amenities to people, bring money to people is to allow the villager rule themselves;
by Creating WARD GOVERNMENT WG the government of local people for the service of local people, every one will feel belonging and agitation and all sorts of tensions will douse down!

It didn’t start today. Politicians and the media have been using terminologies to mislead whole peoples into making historic mistakes that are suffered by many generations afterwards. Some days ago, the erudite politician and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a Guest/Keynote Speaker at the 2017 Annual Dinner of the King’s College Old Boys Association (KCOBA), held at King’s College Lagos. The address he was reported to have delivered expectedly dwelt on very key issues regarding our country Nigeria. You can acquaint yourself with the speech here:

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/09/breaking-must-guard-separating-nigeria-small-pieces-tinubu-warns/

In many ways, the speech was a huge eye-opener to me. Suddenly, it was as if scales fell off my eyes and, for the first time, I really came to understand how faulty are many age-long concepts popular politicians and media moguls have been recommending such as Sovereign National Conference and True Fiscal federalism. I realized how very flimsy are the supporting reasons for such recommendation. Yet, they are being pushed down our collective throats with highly skilled verbal embellishment. This led me to make a very spontaneous response to the paper which you can find here:

https://www.nairaland.com/4081404/sir-almost-said-truth-open

In that inspired response, I revealed clearly how lame are some of those concepts that have become household in our media and political discourses.

My eyes have particularly been opened to the fact that the much touted restructuring will only be another exercise in futility all because we are not thinking it through. The reason it will be another waste of national resource is that we have not identified our root problem correctly.

As I pointed out clearly in my response (cited above), the root problem with Nigeria is not with structure as many – including very famous people – seem to think. So, ‘restructuring cannot help us much.

The root problem with Nigeria is to be located at a deeper level, the sub-structure, the very foundation of the edifice. So, the so-called ‘restructuring’ will be like mending walls, re-roofing and repainting a faulty building when its real fault is with the foundation. I have explained this more broadly in the above response cited above.

To prove that structure is not the root source of our problem, I refer to history. We already had true fiscal federalism and resource control enshrined in the 1963 Constitution. But what did we get from that? Only three years after the Constitution was ratified, we had the 1966 civil and military uprisings that eventually snowballed into the regrettable Civil War.

So, let’s think more. The solution I proffer is in the response cited above. I cannot repeat it here to avoid making this post longer than intended. So, if you care to know, you can take advantage of the link.

All in all, I am calling on everyone. Let’s stop going through endless vicious circles while experimenting with the destinies of our children yet unborn. Let's leave off politics, ethnicity and godless religious inclination. The destiny of our children is at issue here.
