Lagos state is lagos and should only get Lagos state allocation , and the governor only receives states allocation

Local government allocation goes to the local government and if there is dispute CBN takes over the money and saves it till the dispute is resolved

A governor makes excuse for lack of local government funds is suspect that he wants to control it which is against the law


People like you are the reason why obi should be President to improve our educational systems so your kids don't end up like you

Illiteracy is endemic in SE. What is the sharing formula among the three tiers of Government?. Let's start from there.

Federal Government 52.68%; State Governments 26.72%; Local Governments 20.60%

Good, if the LG are denied their allocations, how do they function and develop?

Can you categorically beat your chest that Kukah is supporting Peter Obi?

If he’s not, then who is he supporting?

Kukah is a Catholic Bishop.Obi is a Catholic.So you think he will leave Obi and support a Muslim Muslim ticket? It seems you don't know what's happening in the Churches.Dey play

You’re turning logic on its head.

Will all Catholic vote Obi? Will all Muslims vote Tinubu and Atiku?

Which kind of nonsense thinking is this?

You are reasoning upside down.I am talking of Kukah you ask of, you are saying another thing.

The only evident thing right now is that Kukah hasn’t come out to endorse a candidate and hasn’t been vocal for a particular candidate.

What he has been saying is that Nigerians should vote the right candidate.

You’re the one speculating that you think he will support Peter obi jusy because he is Catholic.

Yes you are correct ...but how's that the business of the governor ? Is it not the LGA chairman who are meant to complain ? Since the governor decided to mess with the constitutional recognised LGA who should the money go to ? ?

In Nigeria, who takes the blame if a LG is underdeveloped?

LGA responsibility is clearly stated this is why you need Peter Obi to improve the educational sector


Why would Tinubu tamper with federal created LGAs who have him such right

What Lagos state government simply did then was to increase tax and block all leakages ...Then, Lagos was on aggressive tax generation.The state assembly enacted local government joint account then for example tenement rate that was meant to be collected by the local government was changed to Land use charge, LASSAA too... Whatever was generated was shared to the local governments then.. Though people in Lagos hear wen that time... Several tax generating agencies were established then.

Under true federalism, it's the state government that has the power to create local governments area not federal government..Look at it how will Lagos and Jigawa be having the same number of local governments?If it was the state that finances local government,I'm sure jigawa state will day there is no basis for 20 local government councils...It was challenged in court then.Our federal government is too powerful...Look at the issue of VAT too.

You mean Lagos State should have asked Anambra Government to donate their allocations to them to help pay LG workers and fix infrastructures, rather than thinking outside the box?

It's not possible...Lagos state only did the best by carrying the financial Burden of the local governments then... Moreover, I think Lagos state wanted to test the law then by using the court to correct the injustice in the 1999 constitution and that is exactly what Wike is doing now with the issue of VAT.

Under true federalism there won't be states but ethnic nations as federating unites

Well, it depends on what you meant but I know in the USA which we modelled their own system of government, there is federal government, state government, local council areas too.

You have a thinking head on your shoulders unlike that ipob illiterate.

Is that why Obi refused to conduct LG elections for 8 years but diverted the funds into his private pocket?

Just imagine Jigawa with the same local government council as Lagos, Kano with almost the same population as Lagos having more than twice of the local government Lagos has... Height of injustice....So many injustices caused by the nepotistic military head of states.

USA is a settler state not an indigenous land

People won't practice that in USA would die if you replicate that in their homeland of Europe

Before the UK left they gave you a system they thought would make Nigeria function well wilinks report but Nigeria ignored it

Kano was created same year as Lagos. While Jigawa was created out of Kano, both have more than 40 LGs while Lagos remains 20.

The truth is Nigeria is not meant to be a country..The British should have balkanized it before they granted our independence.There's issue of ethnicity, religion etc..

Nigeria can function well as a country ....our issue is that we are a country being run as a nation

We can be a functional country but we can never be a nation

So many injustice...The truth is the population is not there in the north west.. That's why they left their borders open for Nigerians to shore up their population there....This coming election, you will see that the BVAS southerners are jubilating over won't work in the north west and north east because it will expose the fake population statistics they've been churning out.Kano has 44 lgas while jigawa an arid state has 20lgas...What's the justification for this?
