State Governors In Nigeria:
Satanic Agents Of Retrogression...
The major problem of Nigeria is the state governors. The biggest agents of the looting & underdevelopment of Nigeria are the state governors.
36 governors collect almost 50% (when you add that of the LGs) of the entire national revenue every month in statutory allocations, squander all the money, then with doped hate & primitive ethno-religious insanity get all of us fixated at the remaining 50% in the hands of the FG meant to fix the problems of 200 million Nigerians.
When they are called to account, they claim ethnic or religious persecution, godfather interference or federal government witch hunting of them & their state to further distract the already distracted & hate doped citizens of their states.
The local government which is the tier of government created to bring development to the grassroot & rural communities, all 774 of them have their funds in billions of naira monthly from national revenues in statutory allocations as well as IGRs all cornered by the state governors with the LGAs abandoned, overgrown with weed & home to rodents & reptiles.
The state assembly & state judiciary, which are the only 2 organs of government empowered by our constitution to ensure transparency at the states & local governments as well as check the excesses of state governors are all seized by the governors to put a lid on their wicked embezzlement of resources meant for the development of their states.
All the policies & Executive Orders of President Buhari to liberate the local governments, state assemblies & state judiciaries from the armpit of state governors have been roundly rejected by them & court cases even instituted against the FG to stop the reforms.
On top of all these, they have immunity from prosecution covering them.
APC, intent on fulfilling its progressive developmental agenda promise to the people, have to find a way round this kleptocratic conundrum & came up with direct primaries with no automatic ticket for sitting governors to help the party select qualified candidates with track records of integrity & push sitting governors to perform well in office as a yard stick for re-election.
This was the last straw that broke the carmel's back. Those governors without a single element of progressivism in their blood or dictionary, those who failed woefully in their states in every governance performance index available, those whose tenures are expiring but want to install their stooges, cronies, son inlaws, daughters, sons, partners in crime to cover their tracks, the ministers, top government officials that want to be governors or install their own interests as governors, not only roundly rejected direct primaries but all ganged up to unleash satanic vengeance on the party heirachy & systems.
They not only ensured this effort at progressivism & entrenchment of good governance in Nigeria by their party was roundly defeated even at the cost of costing their party many states they won with the promise of progressivism & development, they collaborated with their bought media & judiciary to make their party ungovernable which eventually culminated into the sacking of a duely elected National Chairman & National Working Committee that delivered a resounding all round victory for the party at all levels in the last general elections.
Now, these governors in APC, the ministers & top government officials of APC who have governorship & presidential ambitions have united with their counterparts in PDP to either hijack or destroy the ruling party ahead of 2023 so that they will squash this country's march to progressivism, erode the gains made in the last 6 years on prudence, accountability, transparency & cut in wastages.
They ganged up in Edo, emptied the funds meant for the development of Edo state, mortgaged the state's allocation for the next 4 years & recently have been bringing in into the party shameless scumbergs, documented divisive enemies of Nigeria & hate merchants all to swell their numbers & add new accomplices in their dare devil fight to return this country back to conservative retrogressiveness, reckless impunity in public office, insatiable greed & insane primitive accumulations.
They are joined in this treacherous wicked gang up against the Nigerian masses by their foreign governments collaborators whose countries warehouse the loots of these governors, proceeds of corruption from Nigeria & who are desperate to see the end of APC because their own economies that rely on these loots are currently in serious trouble.
A develeped Nigeria, that was hitherto a dumping ground for their cheap consumer goods & agricultural products, but that is now industrializing, bridging her infrastructural deficits, keeping her citizens in employment, producing enough domestic goods & agricultural products to not only feed its 200 million population but also for export is not good news to them & their economies.
The agenda of these selfish retrogressive minded APC governors, former governors & their foreign collaborators in teaming up with their parent Umbrella Pirates party is to continue to spread poverty in our land because Nigerians desperate to survive, can never think of any patriotism, nor ask the right questions, neither will they understand good governance in any other context other than 4 cups of rice, 4 cups of beans, 4 tubers of yam, 4 litres of kerosene, 4 yards of wax wrapper & 4 thousand naira.
Is this what your vote is worth for a 4 year tenure?
Wasting so much energy to type thrash.

Now it’s getting confusing. Some days ago Wike was quoted to have said that Rivers State isn’t the first State to insist on the collection of VAT. He said Lagos started it but the reason Lagos lost out was because it took the Federal Government to court instead of the agency that is collecting the tax, that is the FIRS. So why should it be the same FG that now want to take States to court instead of the FIRS?
Re: FG Mulls Taking Rivers, Lagos To Supreme Court Over VAT Collection by MNDY(m): 1:45pm On Sep 23, 2021
THE NIGERIA JUDICIARY IS RUBBISH:
Maintaining status quo is not returning to collection of VAT by FIRS. Enforcement of the previous judgment by FHC in Rivers ordering Rivers to start collecting VAT is the status quo to be maintained.

The law given to Rivers by the FHC to collect should have been the subject of litigation. The Appeal Court is pronouncing a Stay of the Execution of judgment of FHC - a very baseless pronouncement without material. The application lacks basis. How will you drag just the judgment of a court to another court? What is the issue?

If it should be a valid case, they should make the law now in force in Rivers the subject. From there, we can delve into the constitutionality of the matter. Whether FG has right to interfere in revenue generation in a state or not. No, it does not, constitutionally. And that is why the FIRS already approached NASS to put VAT in the exclusive list, a wayo move.

This issue is a straight forward judgement, coal is being mined and sold in Newcastle. one can not mine the coal in Newcastle and the revenue sent to Nigeria for use irrespective of any smuggled central ''FEEDING BOTTLE POLICY'' of Nigeria. I believe on work and chop in your domain.The GOLD in Zamfara state is being enjoyed in Zamfara without being shared at the center. The supreme court should guide their judgement on this issue. Thank you.

I have a huge feeling that you are not responsible for this write up. The reason being that it is devoid of the usual hate filled comments against the good people of the South and against other religious belief systems. For the 1st time you included your thieves too. I still doubt you wrote this though. You will begin to be taken seriously on this forum if you address the crimes of Fulani herdsmen too. Otherwise, you must have done copy and paste.

Allow each state control their revenue or how can that be a problem again.

Let the north look for how to generate revenue without alcohol and let the south enjoy the revenue generated from alcohol. It is that simple.

Once the VAT is settled, the next one will be pulling Nigeria out of the evil Organisation of Islamic Coalition (OIC). You can't be using Christian Tax to fund an international Jihad against Israel; a sacred land for the Christians.

That's right. Thereafter resource control will take place. If Buhari or Jibril refuse to sign it into law, A southern president will do it by 2023. It's a simple story.
