From being Rotimi Amaechi's account officer in Zenith bank (speaker house of assembly to governor to minister ), to being handpicked by same to become NPA MD.

The man has done enough.

He can "fvck" off now

Abstract.
Nigeria as a federal state operates 3 executive arms of government: Federal, State and the Local government. Each executive arm receive their budgetary allocation but in the case of local governments, records show that local government funds are deposited in state coffers. In recent times, State governors have been fingered in acts of misappropriating local government funds delivered to them by federal government and as a result, has brought about heated debate amongst public officials.

While LGA autonomy is a good idea, is it really the solution to Nigeria’s underdevelopment? Absolutely NOT! The problem Nigeria is facing is more of the corrupt system and not about the executive tiers.

Debate.
The problem Nigeria currently faces stems from the system/processes for fiscal transactions in government. There is no system to check and balance projects, expenditures of politicians in Nigeria. Our processes are so weak that it is easier for politicians to inflate projects by 1000000%. Hence, it is not about who handles the funds, a klept state governor is as corrupt as a rogue local government chairman. Let’s review the following points together:

1. Any country without constant power supply will remain underdeveloped. To constantly track fiscal transactions in a corrupt country, electronic signatures, electronic trails and more importantly, databases to keep records of every projects ratified and who ratified them is important. Also, our police and justice system needs vast databases to keep records of financial crime offenders such that laws can be enacted to bar such criminals from pursuing public offices.

2. Reform of our constitution and judicial reform: our current constitutional laws are lenient with thieving and corrupt politicians. There is a need to reform our constitution to make public offices massively less attractive and to make sure only candidates with no criminal background make it to the corridors of power.

3. In a country like Nigeria, there is no difference between a rogue local government chairman and a corrupt state governor. As a matter of fact, all politicians in Nigeria are the same. What the Supreme Court have succeeded in achieving is bring unto us an era of overwhelmingly inflated project amounts to construct public latrines, wooden bridges (as shown herewith) and many other useless projects.

4. The office of public procurement:
Sadly the directors in these offices are stooges of corrupt politicians, who were handpicked to do their bidding. Overly inflated projects never get scrutinized, spoils of war are shared on percentages.

5. In a country with genius and intelligent youths, graduates, do you wonder why our politicians still prefer contracting foreign firms?
A serious government will send their young brilliant graduates to understudy companies in America, Europe and Asia (e.g Julius Berger, CCECC); but no, Nigeria prefers wasting our commonwealth in paying work ministry workers to do nothing and massively inflate projects with foreign companies.
Nigeria have coal tar which is a by-product of crude, we have other mineral resources like granite etc to deliver excellent roads. All we need is a thinking government who will put things in order and development will begin. This idea will keep Nigerian jobs for Nigerians rather than export the extremely scarce jobs abroad.

This administration in my opinion has been chasing shadows; rather than focus on reforms, they have been repeating what previous administrations have executed and expecting different results.

Nigerians should put on their thinking caps so they understand that this is NO WIN for the common man, but a sure win for politicians at the grassroots.

Kindly drop your opinion.

A cannon fodder calling someone a fool.
You definitely are a cannon fodder. Research the meaning in English and take a look at yourself.

Kobojunkie:
While true, if Obi did indeed violate the Constitution while he served as governor of Anambra State, he would do well to submit to this and answer for it.

doggedfighter:
Onunuga, find shame.

Preferably in your spare time !

Obiphobia is real.

Tareq1105:

It's quite unfortunate that we have a president that's ineptitude and clueless. There's so much rot in the system caused by buhari's abysmal 8 years rule that needs to be cleaned

Obiedun:

helinues:


They have been forced to talk. Una cash cow don dey disappear

What again do you want to review?

LifestyleTonite:
OP add source. It is a trending news.

And to think the whole of last month was used by Obidients to denigrate Soyinka. According to them, Chunia Achebe is better than Soyinka in terms of literature, despite the later wining Nobel Prize for Literature.

In order to make Achebe seem above Soyinka, they claim Achebe is known as the Father of African Literature. The clowns don't know that literature is bigger than Achebe who only did novels, which h is a segment of literature.

Literature encompasses novel, drama, prose, fable, fiction, non-fiction, biography etc. Where are Achebe 's works on those departments other than novel? Sadly, the Soyinka that has works in those departments doesn't want to be called Father of African Literature.

More pains for bitter Obidients a movie about Soyinka will premiere in cinemas on his birthday and also a documentary about him to air at Muson Centre in Lagos.

Melagros:
COMRADES, Nigeria has the required resources to defend her citizens to this extent, but I don't know what else is the challenge?

Barrywilly:
This is a gross violation of their rights. You don't have any business or right to video them or expose them to the media. They own their bodies.

Bobloco:
The Gbaju e crooner has now been handsomely rewarded for his silence and for not speaking up against the worst regime in the history of this country.

This is someone who spoke against one of the best regimes in the history of this country, the Goodluck Jonathan government. He even went as far as describing the then president, Goodluck Jonathan, to be worst than Nebuchadnezzar.

Princedapace:
Have u wondered why Soyinka kept quiet when Tinubu govt has become worse than Buhari's govt?
The day black man go get sense is the day black man can compete with the rest of the worlds. For now, make black man dey fool them selves while the rest of the world flies away.
