Stop this nonsensical feeding bottle system and restructure this country so that only serious and intelligent people can be attracted to leadership

If Nigeria continues this way, there might not be a Nigeria in 2050.

The only thing Tilumbu achieved with subsidy removal was sharing more money with state governors. It didn’t benefit the people.

People emptied their bank accounts due to high cost of living, in order to sacrifice for corruption, failed leadership, and pay-for-defection

More funds to states and LGAs have not been positive in most states.. Some are even worse off.

If you are smart, you will understand why these useless governors are porting to APC. They are all looking for cover.

What exactly nonsensical about financially empowering governors and local government chairman so they can carry out works in their states or no be the same way u vote the president na im u take vote governors and local government chairmen

If u want the only the president to restructure the country, why then did u vote for governors??
Or the governors don't have a role in this restructuring?

Thank God you are saying the truth for the first time in your life...and if you open your eyes and mind very well, you will also see the Tinubu regime's achievements in other sectors.

Tinubu till 2031

Jagaban is just pumping too much money to this governors

Who else have noticed APC is so so serious in this 2027 election despite the fact that they are in power 😊

Prime minister Wike is busy suffocating PDP and Fubara😊

I pity for Prime minister wike when power changed hands🤣

How much share did your state receive?
What has your State governor done with the money

We focused too much on the presidency while allowing the state governors to behave as how they like

All this sharing with no tangible results to show for it. What about the 100 billion monthly withdrawal tinubu is doing?

Money na water but no reflection on people's lives.

Govs and LG chairman are enjoying. No wonder they are wasting it on international conference centre, land cruiser jeeps , govt House, useless flyover and non viable airport.

Audio money....
I'm sure ordinary Nigerians only acknowledged these bogus money in the number of cars you bought, show off you did and how many times your kids were outside the country on vacation....

Like this below abi? Isnt it?

Nigeria can not be making so much money while the people don't feel the impact...there must be transparency...most Nigerians shy away from paying tax because it seems politicians live fat off public funds, with their luxurious lifestyle, perks and benefits, driving maybachs, and rolls Royce... using the money of the struggling Nigerians to ball and live like kings. Luxury lifestyle among politicians should be checked before talking of tax regime. Nigeria is not rich, as per our par capital income and GNP in relation to our population, hence Nigerian politicians should not be paid as those politicians in developed advanced countries, because the work they put in is different, as per results.

Minimum wage and amount we pay our police is too low in comparison to what politicians earn, this is an anomaly...it is not proportionte at all, we must begin from here, then deal decisively with leakages, and diversion of public funds. Financial and fraud agencies must focus more on securing public funds, focus on politicians, ministers, governors, etc...

The FG alone still takes the biggest allocation from the Federation purse yet some clowns will be shouting hold your gov accountable
So the president should just walk away with all those humongous funds while you'll be chasing states and LGs with just crumbs to their names?
Zombies sef

Yet no working health care system. Shame to APC.

Why are they telling us? To do what with d figure exactly?

From the distributable VAT revenue, the State Government and the local government received almost 70% of the allocations

Yet everybody is screaming Federal Government and Tinubu always

The FG even received lower than the Local Government, just imagine

So tinubu should be sharing the monies with your village people? Show us one post you have asked your state gov what he is doing with his allocations or have you for once criticised him 1/1,000,000 the times you've tinubu.

Nawao, see money everywhere but nothing and absolutely nothing to show for it

People who don't even understand how their country runs,they dont even under the socio political dynamics of the same country they are claiming to come and save,people who will ignorantly telk you obi won 23 elections because he got 100% in their little dot in a circle.....the restructuring discourse is way above their cognitive abilities.

Pls ask your state governors what have they done with all these money even i heard from a reliable source some state governors till now refused to release local govt fund then where is the money?

Those losers will come here Tinubu this Tinubu that but what about Billions your sate governor receive, where is the money and where is the project

Only Lagos, Enugu, Anambra, Ekiti, and Borno I can say they are actually using the cash they receive doing something we can see thee rest I'm not seen wat they are doing.

Zombies sef

How many state of the art PHC's do you have in your state, how many smart schools,how many built roads,how many housing projects,how many security equipments for effective policing? All these are within the purview of your state govt.

Need you be reminded how many insfrqcstructure projects the fg is embarking on,tinubu just paid off longstanding debts to gencos so as to attract much needed investments in that sector,agric mechanisation projects..... your state govt has alot to do in alleviating your poverty.

Criminals everywhere. How much is his salary per month?

So you want your governor to keep the money allocated to your state, to himself?

There is a sharing formula agreed upon, and there is a reason FG keeps the biggest share, check the budget for defence, security, and other national security and strategic departments of FG, they have a huge bill, of course we know we need more accountability and transparency.

But it is fool hardy to let your governor use your state loot like it's his personal money, what belongs to your state in this federation should be your first concern, your state is your stake in this federation, focus on your state, for your own good.

These billions are big enough for a wise and prudent governor to develop his state with, like some governors are showing, building power systems etc...a state has natural and human resources that a resourceful thinking governor will use to make his state prosperous. State governors have leverage to make money...this is why we need true federalism, so each state depend on itself, like we use to have back then, this will end this laziness.
