Governor approved the payment without issuing any press release, traditional ruler comes to the press to announce it.
Traditional institutions in modern day Africa , is a criminal enterprise. They don't aid the development of their various communities - instead - they connive with the ruling class to cash out; believe!

Makes no sense by Constitution traditional rulers own 5% of local government allocations... So why place them on salary
it's actually against the constitution to pay any traditional ruler a dime from the coffers of public funds, federal, state or local government,the aberration, illegality started under the Military and the 4th republic politicians just continue with it ,same with security votes, Nigeria is a Republic,no traditional mornachy in any form is recognize,if left to me,all should be scrapped,they do nothing than marry more wives , collect money till they die,most of them lives in wealth while no development in their so called domain.

This can't be true!

They would have called him out!
It is true. Otti is still paying 18k as minimum wage.

We Abians have called him out several times.

He promised to start paying 30k minimum wage from May 2025.

Oti is a scam and will soon be impeached.

Mark my words

Sure.

However, constitutional roles can be created for them. Remember warrant officers of old had such constitutional duties.

Out of curiosity and for enlightenment, could you cite the Section of the Constitution that confers 5% of LG allocations on Traditional Rulers

Someone should remind me of the minimum wage again.
250k for what exactly, which work are they doing ?
Hope our pensioners are earning that much.

If he doesn't give, you complain. Now that he gives, you complain. The people collecting are happy because they didn't receive anything before, but you want him to give them 1 billion every month before you appreciate a good gesture. It's not compulsory he gives them. The government can run without them but since they exist and prove that they have good contributions to make towards making government work easy, he's according them the respect they deserve. The Constitution of the Federal Republic recognizes three tiers of government and kings and traditional rulers are not part of it neither are there allocations for them. So calm down

This is like a disgrace, this is too small for traditional rulers in the south east. Mr governor doesn't even need to expose their salaries in the public. Even though the traditional rulers are too many with their autonomous small communities, it would have been better to keep their salary talks out of public so they can be more respected in such a society where ipob kills igwe like fowls by not respecting the stools. Hope they get other dues from their local government and communities?
YoruBandits spotted.

You Yoruba muslims doesn't disappoint.

Must you always expose your terrorist tendencies?

wellmax:
recently approved for over 500 traditional rulers in Abia State

The problem is that they are too many.

From Brass road in Aba to Faulks road there are more than 5 autonomous communities, each with their own eze. A distance of less than 5km.

Ego no go allow them unite. That’s why if they miss it at home, they travel elsewhere to fight for Ezeship.
The ezeship is all about greed. Nothing more. cool

TonyeBarcanista:
This is in addition to tye 5% of the LGA allocations they receive?
As it's written on paper, is it same way it is in reality.
Let's say a LGA gets #1 billion and it's 5% is #50,000,000. To be shared amongst say the total number of Chiefs in that LGA....
I guess you can use your LG as an example of you have an idea of the total number of Chiefs who receive salary from the SG.

otti, what job do they do? if not block progress and do clanship. Which hinders collective progress.


Traditional rulers are supposed to be out of the way and tucked in somewhere like a museum artifact, without power.

Not true. Traditional rulers are not recognized in the constitution. It was Abacha that awarded them that 5% of council allocation.

12m per month on just salaries?
It is wasteful to pay these and civil servants and political office holders


Convert the traditional seats to elected seats with yearly reviews and term limits and rotation, then abolish local governments

Nigeria is the cause of its own backwardness. Self inflicted sorrow

What's IPOB business with traditional rulers or you just want to talk. Rubbish

How will you talk about traditional rulers in the south east and you will not remember ipob that used to kill them like fowls? Ipob is a criminal/terrorist assembly of touts that has no respect for traditional rulers. Ipob has killed more Igwe and igbos more than those Fulani killed in the south east.So, no way one will not mention ipob the killer whose 1st prime minister and founder are celebrating Christmas behind the bars.

What you just posted is Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFAC) and Traditional Rulers demanding 5% of LG Allocations. Your original comment alluded that this was already in the Constitution, reason I asked for citation.

Anyway, I wish Traditional Rulers and RMAFAC the best of luck with this proposal 🤞
