Since 2015 that the runaway white lion of kogi entered office, local government affairs and elections were cancelled and were run by his thugs/mafias in the name of caretaker nonsense.

More like running it like a cartel. If they are running it like a company, it would be better as companies tend to maximize profit
it is bad because a country and a company cannot function the same way.

these people continually move our money/wealth to the creators of the company in Europe. we are here thinking we have a country. this is why dem no rate us outside.

Na still the governors go put their puppets in the positions.

The autonomy is just for the collection of the allegations, not for the spending of the allocations. Each parish will still pay tithes to the headquarter. grin
The people can now go straight and hold any non performing chairman accountable if they see no tangible development. Over time Local Chairmen would decide if they want serious heat from their people or use the money for projects to settle Governors.

The autonomy is only for collection of federal allocations, not for spending the allocations. So, what has really changed?

Remember that every state has its own electoral body (not INEC) that conducts local government chairmanship elections. With this, governors will make their puppets LGA chairmen and decide how those chairmen spend the federal allocations.

If you think the chairmen can decide to disobey the governors, think of how many LGA chairmen that are clean enough to boldly and successfully disobey their political godfathers. Remember that the puppets selected as LGA chairmen are the ones with rotten profiles that can be used to blackmail and silence those chairmen when those chairmen prove stubborn.

The matter go long. At least 70% of nigerian wealthy and rich men are slaves to sex. They can do anything for sex. Good Example is one useless jarule abi what is his useless name that beat his wife and compensated her with 10 Million Naira. Ordinary 10,000 Naira, they can never give their fellow random men.

Even some poor men you see doing like they don't fornicate, Na because money never dey their hand. Very useless people.

Where is Mannabbqgrill s these days? He hasn't been as visible as before. I know that the negative repercussions of his support for the APC have now caught up with him. He can no longer enjoy grilling sumptuous meat; instead, he deals with rotten, long-dead meats, as social activities like partying and clubbing have decreased by 85%, according to research by social scientists in Nigeria.

I'm aware that since the last administration ended in Nigeria, the #30,000 BMC stipend has become extinct. must have significantly declined from his former status. You cannot inflict harm on others and expect to be exempted. As they say, 'when heaven falls, it affects everyone.

Not even most , lets say all . The ones that have done so far , the ruling party clear every where . The kind of election conducted at each State Level is preposterous and its a big threat to our Democracy . The Ruling party in each state clear all the sit.

Yes we are so currupt in this society but am always believing there must be a turning point in life to everything that was wrong to be corrected and do things right. Imagine states waking up now. We can't continue like this. It will take a while to balance up but definitely the curruption of LG will not be as much as that of a state. LG is closer to people, how many roads, street lights , market, farms, security vehicle required that can not be fixed completely before 8years even with inflated prices. Moreso, chairman has no immunity and can be jailed. Some governors were jailed before so why not at LG level. Las Las, some of them will perform very well. So it's good we start doing it right and corruption will be checked with time.

There is a place where I say you should ask yourself how many LGA chairmen will be clean enough to successfully disobey their political godfathers. Fubara is able to do it because Wike has fact to use to blackmail Fubara.

Until Nigeria has a president who truly and genuinely has the love and interest of Nigeria at heart and who will be so bold and smart to return NIGERIA to a true fiscal federation, if not this country will keep RECYCLING PROBLEMS.

I believe someday one-day a savior will arise
And funningly enough it may be a military man and not all these PRANKSTER Politicians
if you the wait for messiah you are on your own oooo.. it's a gradual process and with it we will get there.no one can change Nigeria overnight except he has a magic wand..the local government autonomy is a step in the right direction ,we know it can't eliminate the corruption in the local government but atleast they will be a reduction..
We need not to trade blames here and there because we are in one way or another part of the problems and our leaders are a true reflection of our true self.
Nigeria is in comatose and resuscitating will take time, effort and patience..let's join hands in our small capacities to begin to effect positive change for the development of Nigeria thats when we will see the Nigeria we want.

Let assume Gbajue man was the one in charge and fought for this LG autonomy and victorious like this, with all sincerity will you still have strength to compose your comments like this? Lest I forget he didn't even conduct LG election in 8 solid years.
Re: LG Autonomy: 13 States Rush To Hold Council Polls by iamwebguru: 10:08am On Jul 17, 2024
The state electoral commission should not be the body conducting the election. If they are, the governor could control and manipulate the election. The federal electoral commission should be the one conducting the election as soon as possible.

I agree with you but I just want to add that it will be easier for EFCC to handle local government chairmen because they they do not have immunity from prosecution which unlike the governors.
