To the best of my knowledge, Local Governments allocated funds are subjected to the whims and caprices of their respective state governments and state House of Assembly probably because it's paid into a consolidated account of which the State Executive Governor is the sole signatory.
Besides, the funds have been so abused by the state governors that it's used as a political loyalty chip to willing chairmen since they're also empowered constitutionally - i guess to dissolve and delineate the councils when they deem fit [Adams Oshiomhole/ Bola Tinubu LCDA].
Yes they're also empowered to generate revenue internally but that's within the purview and scrutiny of the state governors.
Basically, these guys {chairmen} are at the mercy of the Oga-at-the-top.
I pity them sometimes but a hard-working Chairman can still stand out against all odds.
BTW,.. I call them Salary Chairmen because majority of them basically pay salaries throughout their tenure.

Core Delta is very different from the peripheral Delta i.e Delta North/Anioma/Delta Ibos.

I think until they sincerely cut ties [which is always a subject of serious argument] with the Core Ibos. The Core Delta won't want to see a Delta State tagged a South-Eastern state hence their constant resistance.

Ngwakwe: You know it's really impossible for her to be nominated to represent Delta State in ministerial appointment.

Abians vaule her very much and remember, her Children's State of Origin is Abia State and will never be Delta State.

Professor Dora Akunyili readily comes to mind.
Which state again?
Yea.. I remember ... Anambra!!

Ngwakwe: She is a minister representing Abia State and should come home to takeover from T. A. Orji

Adopted Home or Her Royal roots?
Before we start argueing where her allegiance lies.

I think she's more proud and vocal about being a Deltan 'princess''.

Afam4eva: If Jonathan dares supports Godsday Orubebe then he's spoiling for trouble as this is the turn of Ndi Anioma. As for Great Ogboru, this is the wrongest time for him to contest.

Spoiling for which trouble??
Who is the candidate ''Ndi Anioma'' or whatever that means is presenting to Deltans?
If it is Ifeanyi Okowa ,then i believe Deltans are going back to their own vomit.
That name has been ringing bells in Delta state corridors of power since 1999.
What are his antecedents and the scorecard that will sorta push his manifesto to voting Deltans.
NOI is the best the ''Ndi Anioma'' can present as the moment. The so-called Anioma Elders should concentrate on lobbying and presenting a credible candidate that stands out from the inept lineage that has been milking the state rather than shouting Gubernatorial marginalisation all the time.

Afam4eva: I suspect that Uduaghan will present his deputy if he wants to honour the governorship rotation. But i don't think that deputy governor is good enough. I've heard him speak and i don't think he's up to scratch. If Iweala decides to contest, she'll definitely have backing from Abuja and Uduaghan will have to respect that.

That's a Professor of Law we're talking of here.
That is more than ''scratch'' and a perfect grounding to be more articulate on issues than you postulated.
The only issue with him i think is the old age weariness and probably some health concerns.

WtF IS wrong with FP.

ichidodo: Imagine an array of these projectiles (re-enginneered and upgraded) with vials of sarin gas and bubonic plague all trained on the Towns and villages of South western Nigeria.That will be the day...

....the day Nigeria will become one.
No Victor No Verönica

frankyychiji: These teenagers no sharp at all? Haba! If na benin or warri boys dem go stow away with d bomb and release it from there. That way they will receive attention.

Hello there was no bomb.

The Jews are at it again!!
Nigeria kills creativity.
I had a friend in secondary school back then that manufactured something like this using plastic toilet pipes that flew a considerable distance before it landed.
The last i heard of him was he had a scholarship studying Physics in MIT, and that was five years ago.
I just knew he's gone for good.
F**king Nigeria!

Our biased nature towards national issues has kept us in this union that radiates doom.
This is one of the few Govt pronouncements that i am personally interested in and agree with, if only it sees the light of day.
I knew some double-mouthed idio.ts will kick against it using the opposition hypocritical comment of ''being on the side of the people''.
Of which we know better than they do.

nkembosah: what do we hope to achieve after the analysis?

Best question of the day.
Another white goose chase from AIB?
We all know the end product of such analysis.
Like seriously??
''thorough FORENSIC analysis '' and Nigeria are not related for now!

All i see is inferiority complex everywhere.
Like WTF is ble-ble doing with the red-lip stick pout.

So if i tell you use grease to oil your mouth.
You 'll do so?

Those of you saying you're WET.
Hope all is well.
Drizzling 10:32

I can pass for the ones with tiny strands between the two melons and down the navel.
But damn it girl... Get your legs waxed.
Don't want to feel unease when i suspend your legs on my shoulder when sent on 'missionary' expedition.

LMAO!!
Now that's extreme creativity!
That guy should be hard as rock when drawing with enough Viagra not in flaccid state.

NO PLEASE!
Excuse Me!!!!

We need Independence from Nigeria

It's alright..!
Watch it~ if this issue is over-flogged than this.
Nairalanders with their usual dual beliefs will switch lanes and gradually become apologetic to the '' F=kPU'' fella.

Davo93: [size=25pt]Finally! A deactivation link has now been installed. Check your profile to confirm[/size]

Like Seriously??

There is an African saying that, If a Lizard fall from a high point and lands on the ground, it looks both directions and if it founds out there is no applause from anybody. It nods to itself for self-motivation and a job well done.

If at all nobody hail us,
Abeg we try scatter!!
Reminder:
Equation:
F=kPU---- STILL STANDS
Unless the Sensitivity Training Formula is applied to douse the Foolishness!!

Cheating who??
Nigga please!!
Graduates are cheating themselves in Nigeria.
The truth is being a graduate [i.e First degree holder] automatically command some hidden respect from your peers/society and ''non-graduates'' alike.
You better step up and capitalize on that advantage if not owu-extreme' will be your companion for a long time.
BTW, know your 'onions' to be on the safer side of the graduates divide.

Now i feel old
First degree: Geomatics
Msc- Geographic Information Systems {GIS}

Active DREAM:
Already tackling some of the complex environmental and societal challenges within my immediate domain using advanced spatial technologies.

And that GEJ will be gesticulating with his fingers explaining nonsense about corruption not being Nigeria's problem business-wise.
Like seriously does he think, Even relying on NOI economic theories alone shows how far he is from reality.

I'm off Nairaland
thanks for the time

justwise: If you are intelligent at all it must be hidden one.

Gbagaun!
Is that English??

This is a perfect example of how to lie to the world.
It takes dumb skills to sell statistics such as these to fellow politicians and get an applause.
I appreciate him for that.
