BlueRayDick:
Instead of focusing on the living, this one decided to focus on the dead 🤦‍♂️.

I think our constitution needs to be reviewed ; the nonsense provision for constituency projects needs to be expunged!

Lawmakers have no business carrying out so called constituency project . That’s the only reason why someone like this guy will decide to waste tax payer’s money on renovating 80 cemeteries .

Imagine padding budget only to divert the money towards renovating cemeteries 🤷‍♂️

BlueRayDick:
Local government should be allowed to function properly . Whatever amount that is being padded yearly into the budget as constituency project funds should be channeled to Local governments.

Legislators should focus on their primary duty of making laws and act as proper checks and balance for the executive arm of government .

The idea of legislators encroaching on executive’s function of execution of projects is an anomaly that has been allowed for too long .

There are some places where the LG chairmen have been useless and the Legislator from Abuja that are using their constituency projects for the good of the people

I have seen Gbajas constituency and Adeola constituency projects and they looked impressive. I don't know what the LG chairmen of those areas did. Even if the chairmen are doing well, then the more the good projects, the merrier for the populace

There is nothing that said that the LG chairmen in Zamfara wont have spent money on cemetery as well. The Senator might have been a LG chairman who got promoted to Senator sef. Point is who get sense, get sense and who no get sense, No go get sense.

Probably the thinking of those who created the law is that the more outlet for people to get dividends of governance the better so if one is useless, Maybe at least 1 will be useful

BlueRayDiick:
Gbaja and Adeola are only able to do what they are doing because of the huge constituency allowance they are able to “ collobi “ .

Let that same amount be made available to the LGA without the state governor stealing out of it and u will be surprised the kind of projects they can come up with that will better the life of the people

I’m saying this as someone residing in a LCDA where the chairman has been executing projects that speaks to the actual needs of the people . I believe if the chairman has access to more funds without having to kowtow to Lagos state government he would even do better than whatever the law maker representing the constituency in Abuja can do for the people .

raumdeuter:
A good chairman project doesnt still stop the legislators constituency projects

E.g Say instead of putting 500m in the hand of LG chairman, 300m goes to LG 100m for HoR and 100M to Senator for the same area

The risk with the former is a useless LG chairman leaves the people with nothing while in the 2n scenario they can hope at least one of the 3 will be useful

sebod:
Expecting something in return for an act of kindness done to someone is an entitlement spirit to me, and I detest it as I live with zero expectations from man.
I am only blaming the guy for still expecting his friend to reach out to him after the way and manner at which he left. The moment he left in such manner, I will just forget I once knew him. If he later reaches out and apologizes, no qualms, life continues.

Omo! Can those cars in the flood start again?

I just hope the water will not carry reptiles enter people's houses o

Theflint1:
Legislators doing constituency projects make no sense...the only reason that thing has been allowed is make money dey touch everybody hand, and not because of any fail-safe to guarantee projects get done.

Look at it this way, each cadre of government has what they consider their fair share of stealing, that 500M split three ways means there are a lot more persons hands putting hand into what's limited money, meaning even less gets to the people.

But beyond the nonsense of fair share of stealing, legislative duties are purely lawmaking, anybody that's interested in doing LGA-level projects should go and contest for LGA Chairmanship.

Ibime:
Nonsense

BlueRayDick:
Exactly my thoughts. There’s no way someone who stays most of his time in Abuja will claim he has what it takes to executive projects that touch the lives of his people in let’s say Ilaje/Ese odo in ondo state.

Let the LGA chairman handle that and let him face the job of making laws that will impact on the economic , social and political well being of his constituents

TemporaryHansel:
Why do you think so?

Is it really possible to invent something that huge and remain anonymous for over 16 years, without any Govt being able to out you?

Especially when you consider the things it was used for in the past, and still being used for right now.
