My brother Wike is reaping what he has sown. During his tenure he equally appointed caretaker committees. It will interest you to know tha

Undemocratic LGAs: 19 states run 433 councils with caretaker committee

local councils
N-East emerges best with 37 of 112 LGAs not under democracy

N-West emerges worst with 115 of 186 LGAs affected


S-East follows with 82 of 95 councils hit


IN spite of efforts to deepen democracy in Nigeria, no fewer than 19 state governors are running their local councils with transition or caretaker committees.

Saturday Vanguard’s checks indicate that currently, 433 (58.2 per cent) of the 774 local councils are without elected chairmen and councillors. This is against the provisions of Section 7 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which guarantees the system of local government by democratically elected officials.

From next month, the number of undemocratically administered LGAs may go higher as the tenures of council officers expire in Jigawa (June 1) and Rivers.

Only 311 LGAs (41.8 per cent) across 17 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, have elected officers.

Reasons cited for the inability of many states to conduct council polls include insecurity, paucity of funds, political and legal battles.

I was not in support of Wike when he was governor and if I was not in support of his style, then, I should not applaud Fubara now just to spite Wike that won't be affected in any way safe for bruised ego. Tomorrow, Fubara's successor will come and point to what Fubara did as a yardstick to continue in the same line which is bad for the system.

Seefinish:
you have no option than to vacate the office. No be your papa's house. Fubara will put his loyalists and nothing will happen

If Tinubu begins to plant his loyalist as Governors starting from Edo, I hope you won't come here to complain? We should be careful what we endorse because they're far reaching implications.

marksonrick:
Why can't the governor conduct an election, why bend on sacking the LGA chairmen?

Anyways, they should use their heads o.

Rivers always on the news.

Simple, when the tenure of Governors end, does the president go about appointing caretaker governors? No!

I am just laughing at people who on the one hand want LG autonomy but are applauding SIM for doing what is clearly wrong.

I am no fan of Wike but the right thing should be done always, caretaker chairman should not suffice in 2024, Fubara should ask Rivers Independent Electoral Commission to conduct LG elections.

Jodera:
It won't work.

Foden can't play wings. In Man City that he normally plays there is different cos he'll always drift in and do tactical link up and play. England won't give you such privilege.

His best is Am and that's where he should be deployed

Actually, it will work because Walker has got the lungs to go up and down the pitch.

Kante is the man...

Jodera:
In all of these, where is Foden?

Also, I read Shaw won't be available till probably after the last group game match. Joe Gomez should be the one playing that Lb and not Trippier. Gomez have been playing there this season and he's been excellent there, I don't know why Southgate chose Trippier over him.

Mine would be

Pickford

Walker.
Stones
Guehi
Gomez

Rice(Dm)
Bellingham (Cm)
Foden (Am)

Saka
Gordons
Kane

Foden is deputy to Saka.

Katcall:
We have 24 teams in the euros but you I too knows decided to carry England matter for head as if it's your country and the only footballing nation in the world. Meanwhile, your country is on the verge of not qualifying for the WC. It is well. Southgate and britons kuku no send una if you like rant from now sunrise to sunset

You're funny. I am discussing football and you're yapping what I don't understand.

Amoto94:
Ramsdale
Walker--------- Stones------ Guehi -------Shaw
--------------------Rice-------------- Gallagher
------------------------- Bellingham-------------
--------------------Saka-------------- Kane-----------Palmer/Gordon

Palmer wouldn't be quite as effective out on the left.

Gallagher's energy is an asset when they're trying to see outta a game or when they're up against quality opposition but against teams they're better than, I'll opt for Bellingham playing a slightly withdrawn role or Mainoo beside Rice.

Jokerman:
🚨 Erik ten Hag: “Manchester United flew to me in Ibiza to tell me that I was gonna stay”.

“So they disturbed my holiday, they suddenly stood at my doorstep”, he said smiling on NOS Studio Voetbal.

Who dey interview this joker?

People that have agenda are the ones talking about Agenda.

Bellingham as the attacking midfielder should learn to release the ball quicker, I thought he was over elaborate with the ball most times yesterday. Kane could hardly drop to influence the play because Bellingham was occupying that space and when he was upfront, the ball just wasn't getting to him because Bellingham simply is not the kind of 10 that has spatial awareness, he first has to hold the ball and attempt to beat one or two players when a quick pass should do.

Another error in their set up is playing Foden slightly to the left where he can't cut in to good effect. Gordon should own that space.

Trippier at RB is another error. I hope Shaw is fit for their game against Denmark.

Lastly, Trent still does not have a good understanding of the CM role, I'd love to see Bellingham drop deep to take that spot or have Mainoo in from the start.

................................Pickford................................
...Walker.........Stones....Guehi..........Shaw........
............Bellingham/Mainoo......Rice..................
Sake.....Bellingham/Palmer/Eze.......Gordon...

Jokerman:
ego blinds this man

If to say na me do that season review eh! No way that bald terrorist will escape jail...

Southgate should make changes na.

Ibime:
Then suppose comot Foden for Gordon

Spot on. Foden is not holding the width on his side and if he had, he'd have gotten on the end of onee of those balls that flashed past the goal.

Trent too is not working.

Hojllund needs to improve his finishing and dribbling. He wasteful in possession and missed a very good chance today.

Theflint1:
Buhari was never sellable... As angry as I was with Jonathan (mostly over the insecurity situation), was never sold on the Buhari hype.

Reducing everything to us wanting change will cause us to make same mistakes down the road...the people that voted Buhari are mostly the same people that voted someone that was licking microphone...there's a pattern.

I didn't mention Buhari in my reply, don't bring him in unless you want to deviate. I am only saying those who criticised the GEJ government were well within their rights as at that time, they was a hike we had to deal with and people had every right to critique his policies.

It's like someone quoting a tweet now in 2032 when the exchange rate rise to 3k for $1 or the price of fuel hits 1500 as if to say people were wrong for criticising Tinubu...

Jamiuokolla:
I understand but how would the issue of DoF getting Bums be addressed?

If the new DoF is also a lover of serial wánkers like Antony, wetin go happen?

The job of recruiting will not rest on the table of the Dog alone, it's a team of experts that will review each target on the list before the club makes a move.

Ellexy:
They crucified Jonathan....

I am sure at some point, you also criticised the government then. You can only go back to this tweet because you have the advantage of hindsight now which was not at play when this tweet was shared.

Jamiuokolla:
Wait o

So if DoF buy player and for whatever reason e flop, are you saying we should brace up for blame games?

DoF go talk say na coach no sabi use player wey him buy.

Coach go talk say DoF dey buy rubbish players

Wetin go happen?

So, coach should keep buying players that will either flop or another coach will come and consider surplus to requirement?

I rather have the DoF sign players who are best fit for the pattern of play the club adopts so, if a coach fails to get the best of such players, the incoming coach will already meet players who are fit for purpose. So, all we need to do is get a coach whose methods fits our style rather than binning 5-6 players because a new coach comes with his own style and preferences...

Despite his relief at holding on to his job, Ten Hag could decide to push back on such a major change, which could ultimately scupper any hope of an agreement being reached on a new deal.

The 54-year-old Dutchman has long declared his belief that a manager must have total control if they are to be successful, a mantra shared by his most illustrious predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson.

After his appointment at United was confirmed, Ten Hag said he would not have taken the job had he not been granted full control of the transfer policy at Old Trafford.

**I set requirements about how I want to work,” said Ten Hag. “If they aren't granted, I won't do it. I am ultimately responsible and accountable for results.

“I don't want to be the sole ruler, I stand for cooperation, but control of transfers is a condition for me.”**


I now understand why he is been offered a new contract, Sir Jim want to strip him of powers he currently doesn't deserve to hold. I am sure the new deal with also include a lower payoff fee if he is sacked in future, which is inevitable....

This is where he will get the sack. After wasting good money on Antony and Mount, he still wants to call the shots as far as transfers in and out of the club is concerned. He is a joker.

Village people have gotten me...

BlueMann:
Dem say the guy get 12 assists in 30 games this season; our own Trent

Just dey spam crosses from every angle, trying to make a way even when there seemed to be no way

I was screaming every other time he spammed a cross. He is brainless...

BlueMann:
Sodiq 😭😭

I say na carpenters full the team 😂

I hate local coaches because everything for them is down to sentiments.

Ibime:
One local eediot wey Finidi want use cash out

Finidi Bin Laden George is worse than Erik Bin Laden...

Please who is that slowpoke with the No. 2 jersey?

On what basis was Finidi appointed in the first place?

Oasis007:
We have TD now I guess, he should start showing work. If Ashworth ain't available, sir SJR should get us Charcoalworth.

You no well...😂 😂 😂

From Wood to Ash and now na Charcoal you dey find...God epp us o!

FergieRaww:
For the past few months i've been battling with a lot, burnt through a lot of resources just to battle the failing health of my Dad... God knows how much Real Madrid & Football games in general has kept me going, i clearly broke down in tears at that comeback against Bayern and my girl thought it was just the game but it was all the emotions and pains i've been bottling up that just got loosed

I'm already looking forward to our 15th tomorrow and another reason to be happy in the midst of my Tribulations but now the zeal for it just got lost.

Well Death won.. i just lost my Dad this afternoon

Tbh i'm not prepared for it Emotionally, Physically and Financially anymore

Goodluck to our Boys tomorrow

Sorry for your loss bro.

Yemike:
That's where you're missing it. Some of us have been sympathetic towards ETH before the final. Looking at the troubles at United, the quality of players, injury woes I'd say he's been harshly judged. You see those British media? They're very unprofessional when it comes to ETH matter. I even expect him to leave the job cuz he was suffocated by the media, fans and the ownership.
A whole lot of you guys forgets the man utd ownership saga that dragged on for months which makes it impossible to get transfers done on time.
Tell me, how can a team be pairing Casemiro and Evans or Casemiro and Kambwala or Evans and Varane or Casemiro and Varane (In short we made like 14 pairings at the back in the EPL with McTominay in front and Onana in goal and not ship in goals?
Up front, Rashford was out of form, Antony had his issues back at home, Hojlund finds it hard to adapt quicker, Amad was injured leaving us at the mercy of Ganarcho.
In the middle, Casemiro had his fair share when it comes to injuries, McTominay to, Mason? Thanks to Mainoo and Bruno that carry the team on their shoulders.

ETH isn't a saint either but not the devil you all are calling him and please it's not a must to follow your opinion stop calling those sympathetic towards ETH mad or whatever. We all want what's best for our club and you can't be shoving your opinion down people's throats.

A lot of us witnessed the glory days with the great Sir and also witnessing the pathetic state the club is in now but no matter what, I can't have a second club just like how I can't love two women.

GGMU

I can't recognise this moniker. Those I'm on about know themselves.

liveLongNprospa:
Kroos and Modric got better as they got older.
Ronaldo was doing the heavy lifting while there😌

Wow!

liveLongNprospa:
Hence why Ronaldo is also better than Messi too.
I mean look at their club career outside real madrid and Barcelona 😌

Why should we look at their careers away from Madrid and Barcelona?

You are running away from the question, if Kroos is better than Xavi and Modric is better than Iniesta don't you think it negates the argument you guys pushed in time past that Messi had the better supporting cast?

liveLongNprospa:
Ibime!!!!!!

Kroos has won 6 UCL.

Do you still think xavi is better?

Do you now agree Ronaldo played with better players in Madrid or Messi was doing great because he had the better supporting cast? Think well before you answer.

odizeey:
We say it the board or the manager that's our problem.

I've come to the realisation that it's our fanbase.

Imposters have infiltrated our camp.

People happy with mediocrity.

Baba I just weak. One win and suddenly there's no other coach out there that's better than EBL...

A club as big as United should be able to price any coach that's not on the books of Real Madrid, Bayern, City, Liverpool, Barcelona and Chelsea. So, I don't get what they mean when they say what coach is available as if it is a crime to get a coach from another club.
