True. This is simply because they contributed immensely to fund Uncle Buhari's election campaigns. And sadly, PMB is busy using EFCC to probe into how PDP funded their 2015 election campaigns, but no one is asking how APC states funded Uncle Buhari's presidential campaigns in 2015.

One effective way to stop this stupidiy is to condition state economy- employment %,dept %, capital expenditure, growth, security- on the years the governers are allowed to run. If after a two years the governer does not meet a set minimum, federal government should boot him out, otherwise he gets two more years. This way the governor buffoons (most) will quickly be identified and removed before they cause more damage, but also they will have the incentive to perform and by extension serve and promote welfare of their people. Unforunately even the cattle herder from Daura would fail on this two year yardstick.

Aaa, well, well,.......what else can one do apart from shrugging shoulders in resignation? Lets have the fulani herdmens, millitants, boko haram, kidnappers, armed robbers, rappists and skin bleacher run the show then as we regress towards the north!

Its quite unfortunate that APC in their quest for power at the top, crippled the economy of most states.

Now we are in a terrible situation.

After the lagislators...the next biggest problem in nigeria is the state governors. ..they collect allocation monthly and yet don't pay salaries, no capital projects done....how can you deprive pple of there sweat...

They only pay ex-governor and deputy governor pension, build two house for them, medical allowance and Two Jeep even when there are still collecting salary as a senator.

Re: States’ Financial Mess Is A Ticking Time Bomb by Wolexdey(m): 2:39pm On May 08, 2016

The reckless governors know themselves. Nigerians know them, Efcc knows them but they keep saying immunity shields these set of criminals.

The big question is when and how do we as a Nation intend to be free from this corrupt governors who have nothing meaniful to offer the masses?. Their leadership skill is Zero.

Shameless Governors.

What do we make of a country's economy when her states are in serious financial distress and mess.
Merger and acquisitions of state seems to be the way out . Lagos can afford to acquire Bayelsa and Ekiti
Delta and Rivers can merge

Some states are productive but others are just waiting to share what comes out of the productive states. States like Kano, Osun, Kwara, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Imo, taraba.

Re: States’ Financial Mess Is A Ticking Time Bomb by persius555(m): 3:08pm On May 08, 2016

If we are going to do away with the states, then the overbloated senate should also follow.
What the country needs is proper economic restructuring and management. Is it not amazing that non of the oil producing states has major stakes in the oil and gas industry.
Same goes to the northern states, hectares and hectares of fertile land stretching from maiduguri to benue and non has huge, sizeable investments in rice, flour etc
Yet we import these foods. The origin of this problem has to do with the purpose for which the states were created.
Many of them were not created to open up the economic potentials locked within the states, but to appease the geopolitical greed and desire that existed among our leaders. Hoping that oil will continue to fund the wasteful entities that were created.
For the past twenty years, military administrators and governors have become lazy and drunk on petro dollars.
Reality stares them in the face, eye don clear.

The current system is obviously not sustainable. Decentralisation and reduction of states are the only way out.

Population control is the way out.

Re: States’ Financial Mess Is A Ticking Time Bomb by kellsblingsz(m): 3:41pm On May 08, 2016

With all these news of the country's economy being bad, i ask

1... Where is all the money recovered from looters kept?

2... What is the essence of all the travels dat our president has traveling since the economy is worsening?

3... The economy is going down and still all thoes ministers and senators doesn't want a kobo to be deducted frm all thoes their unnecessary allowances and are still demanding for more cars, why?

4... Why hasnt there been any committee setup to investigate if the baleout funds were properly used by the states that got it.. for instance, in abia state, despite that they got the baleout fund from the federal govt., the governor is still owning workers for 3 months.. who is still talking abt pensioners, there own is being waved under the table. why?

Nigerian is a country full of drama and the masses has no power to do anyfin about it.. chai.... which way naija

Delta, Rivers, Akwa ibom, cross rivers, Lagos can survive on their own, all the NE will form one state, NW apart from Kaduna will form one, SW apart from Ogun will form one.

All states except Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and few (2) other states can be given that your assertion.

Remove Akwa ibom.. Akwa ibom is literally a beneficiary as highest allocation is given the from federation account. We are talking about economic viability.

Until oil finishes in the Nigerdelta, your solution, though good, may never work. What do you tell north which divided the north into 20 new units - states - through which it sucks most of Nigeria's oil money to the north?

Not possible.

Do you tell an Ondo man or Abeokuta man to go back to Ibadan as headquarters of new Western Nigeria?

Do you tell an Owerri man who has benefited immensely from making Owerri capital of Imo state to go back to Enugu as new capital of a new region?

True federalism or regional government is the way forward for this entity called Nigeria we cannot survive like this,
But the North wants to hold everyone captive in the name of unity Government.
