The third tier of Government under the supervisory jurisdiction of the "state".

Here is a hypothetical scenario. Assuming a place like Sabon Gari in Kano boycotts every state sensibilities and use the Federal Government to create a LGA for themselves in Kano because of the demographic make-up. Do you think the Kano State Government will take that nonsense lying down? No! Why? Because local governments are even more artificial imposed creations compared to the structures of a given state.

The same things applies to any other ethnic group in Lagos or Anambra that attempts to use any type of of demographic composition to boycott the powers of the state by using Federal influence to force their way into a state's local politics. That also has very bad repercussions. Every state should have the power to create or dissolve entire local governments within their domains as they so wish! The LGA should emerge from the natural habitats and wishes of its original natives.

My greater point being--LGAs are more dependent on the well-wishes of the entire state to function and survive. Any given state can declare independence and opt to be its own Sovereign nation tomorrow. Local governments cannot because they are more ephemeral by their structure. Like I said earlier, the Nigerian constitution has no business creating local governments for states. States should look at the financial viability of their various localities and create as many or as few local governments as they so wish.

The present LGs as created mostly in the Military era was done only as a means to find creative ways for the mostly Northern Muslims to loot as much oil revenues as possible from the South.

If you want the LGAs to really be independent--let them also begin financing their existence from taxes and local industry without the pathetic hand-outs from where ever.

In a broken system--sanity needs to prevail. The corrupt Chairmen must go!

Since you acknowledged the fact that local governments are creations of the constitution, then you must also accept that everything about governing the local governments must be constitutional.

PastorFire4Fire:


There is no autonomy for LG Chairmen. And yes, the governor has powers to dissolve them same way the President can sack a governor through State Of Emergency.
Gov. Caleb Mufwang was the chairman of Mangu Local Government. His tenure was also dissolved by the immediate past governor (Simon Lalong) and replaced with caretaker committee members.
Anyway, i understand the governor. He is using any opportunity to dissolve them as they are all APC members brought in by the immediate former governor and he is not comfortable with it. Those chairmen even fought against him on election day frustrating voters that wanted to vote for him.

Reasoning this way only points to the secret behind our backwardness as a nation. We are extremely stupid in this country. We love celebrating madness.

Be it APC or PDP or LP, no governor has any right or power to sack a duly elected local government chairman.

Do you know what will happen if presidents start declaring state of emergency in any opposition states?

We need to stop celebrating madness.

JasonScoolari:
You can't produce documents related to financial transactions and you still want to be the chairman... Gross impunity.

Good move by the state governor.... They should pick up the Chairmen.

Are you saying the president can suspend any governor who can't produce documents relating to financial transactions?

Local government as the third tier of the federation should be independent.

Hahahaha

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is nothing but a cocaine sniffing ajasco

That cocaine sniffing ajasco will rule you for the next 8 years

TermuxDarkWeb:
Nonsense. This man is crossing his bandry, first it was the innocent CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele and is EFCC chairman. He's creating Lifetime enemies, but it will surely hit him hard. Am not surprised it's government of Yourba he wants to fix only Yourba Muslims in higher positions. NONSENSE

It is disheartening to see a grown-up adult like you showing his/her leaking brain in a public domain.

Can you please tell us why you think Emefiele shouldn't be suspended or arrested?

Can you please tell us why you think Bawa shouldn't be suspended or investigated?

By the way, a new president or governor has the right and power to remove any official of a previous government and bring his own people on board.

When will Orji Uzor Kalu gain sense?
He is pushing on because he feels the northerners will support him. He doesn't know that the northerners will only support one of themselves.

These northerners are working against RESTRUCTURING. Tinubu wants a senate president who believes in RESTRUCTURING and he has found that in Godswill Akpabio.

If Orji Uzor Kalu fails in this venture of his, he should be expecting worse treatment from Tinubu and other vultures. When this happens, I'm very sure it will affect the entire southeast region.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)- One year of joy, challenges, tears and VICTORY.

Its a thing of joy and great privilege to serve our fathers land. Several people have stated their own opinion about NYSC, Some said it’s a scam, some said it’s a complete waste of time, and so on, but but to me, I see a things of Joy to serve my father's Land.

I served my dear country in one of the most beautiful state in the Nigeria, (Akwa Ibom) even though I was not happy about the village I was posted for my PPA but the villagers proved to me that Akwa Ibom people are the most wonderful tribe in Nigeria when it comes to taking care of strangers and cooking the best soup

I served in 2015/2016 batch B stream II at Nkot Nseyen, ikono local Government, Akwa Ibom state and my PPA was nkot Nseyen community secondary school.

If you are privilege to serve in Nkot Nseyen village, your one year service will be full of fun and you will beg federal government to give you extra year

My experience were mostly exciting with the Akwa Ibom people and their soup, I remember I tasted periwinkle soup for the first time there but I shouted when I was unable to break the periwinkle with my teeth, I later learn how to suck it

So my fellow Nairalanders, it's NYSC is 50!!! Please tell the world where and when you served and share your little experience in one sentence

I served in Rivers state. My PPA waa Obama Boys High School, Bakana Island, Degema LGA.

Lol. The bridge OUK has been building since 1999 is not due for commissioning in your famous 'one Nigeria'? At least, no one can argue he's detribalized. What disqualifies him but qualifies Akpabio? Both are criminals, both are ambitious, but OUK is a better party man. Igbophobia is real, and the sooner they realize it and stop trying to pander to the blackmail of 'building bridges', the better for them. In 4 yrs time, Umahi will also be discredited one way or another. You're all hypocrites.

There is no igbophobia anywhere. You guys called for a tune and you are now shying away from dancing to the tune.

Will you guys be talking about Senate Presidency if other geopolitical zones had behaved in the same manner?

The entire Igboland played bitter politics during the last general election which made APC not to get any tangible vote from that region.

Nobody hates you but you hate yourselves.

Orji Uzor Kalu couldn't get sizeable votes for Tinubu in his constituency but he could get himself the personally required numbers for victory.

RenaissanceGuy:
There's absolutely no excuse why the South East shouldn't get the senate presidency, unless Orji Kalu is not in good relationship with Tinubu, which I suspect. If Orji hadn't won his election, we would have been hearing how Igbos sabotaged themselves and have deprived themselves of the opportunity for SP, so what's the excuse this time around??

Can you please tell the whole world why the southeast should be given the office of the Senate President?

Do you think good things are given to people on a platter of gold?

What did the southeast contribute to the success of the party in the just concluded election?

Nobody celebrates failure or betrayal.

It is funny reading the way many people are blaming this guy for Ekweremadu's tragic end.

Why can't you blame Ekweremadu and other political leaders who refused to make Nigerian health sector a better and active one?

By the way, I don't think this guy pulled this on his own. EKWEREMADU WAS DEALT THIS BIG BLOW BY THE POWERFUL BUT ANGRY PEOPLE AROUND HIM. Everything was planned by some people around Ekweremadu.

Many were desperate to see him out of political setting of Enugu state but the greedy man was busy eyeing the governorship post after almost 20 years in the national assembly.

MasterJayJay:
Threats that only end online.

Threats have come from some supporters of the 3 parties, APC, PDP and LP.

But the implementation of the threat has to go to Buhari supporters who have evolved to APCTinubu supporters.
It is on record that when Buhari lost in 2011, his supporters killed hundreds and destroyed over 350 churches.

Adams Oshiomole who is an APC chieftain told a woman "Go and die'.

Just tell us your opinion in a sentence.

MadamExcellency:


Have you ever been to Abia State or just what you read on the net and in newspapers?

Aba is a place where you go with a nylon bag and in 2 to 5 years you have started building a house without having a surname or any connection before coming to the city.

How many houses do you own in Abia State?

Your brain has been fried to the extent that you can't reason at all.

This is it…

OAU is a federal university… all Nigerians are entitled to contest and be voted for any post


I knew how hellish it was before an Igbo albino won president faulty of law and the tribal card they played

Student union building must have a non Yoruba president ..

Yoruba always vote ethnic and tribal line

As long as OAU is concerned

It glaring that you are suffering from an unknown disease.

What year did you graduate from the faculty of Law OAU?

Do you know how many non-yoruba undergraduates have been elected as president of different departmental unions in OAU?

Please, stop taking alcohol.

Can you tell me how many Yoruba undergraduates have been elected as president of students' unions of any federal university in your region?


You have even forgotten the fact that GREAT IFE Students' Union only elect NOT select her leaders through votes.

You just have to campaign vigorously and get the right figures for you to emerge as the winner.

Finquas:

What does the office of the senate President or speaker does for a region economically? . The Igbos that is giving u massive hate precum held that position the longest since 1999.. how has that benefited that region? The current occupants from the North East and South West .. what has that done for their regions too? i don't tink the Igbos need it ..but rather should be begged to take it ..just for optics and symbolism sakes for national cohesion . What I think the average Igbo man out there is interested in for now is the office of the GCFR ..which in all fairness ..equity and justice should be given them for true National stability and Peace

Do you expect Nigerians to come cap-in-hand to beg the Southeastern to become the president?

Nothing good comes free. Your people should learn how to play politics without sentiments.

Has any non-yoruba undergraduate been stopped or screened out of contesting for Students' Union's president because he/she is non-yoruba?

You guys are just too stupid to reason rationally.

Will people just wake up and say "come and be the president of the Students'Union because you are non-yoruba?

This is the way you people expected Nigerians to vote for Obi because he is Igbo and no Igbo man has ever ruled Nigeria.

For you to win an election, you must have the numbers. Elections are won by candidates'abilities to get the necessary number of votes.

There is no school in Nigeria that allows freedom of thought and association like OAU.

I hates criminals .. and am not supporting his presume act..

But every student of OAU .. know this fact.

Even among the lecturers and prof.. and management


Rip son

People like you are the problems of this country. Must you attach tribal sentiment to everything?

Every comment we make anywhere has the power to calm frayed nerves or arouse people's anger.

OAU is the only university where you can find the most viable, conscious and determined students and staff unions.

Throughout my days in Ife either as an ordinary student or as a students' union leader, I have never experienced anything related to TRIBALISM OR ETHNOCENTRISM.

Many non-yoruba undergraduates have been elected into different positions in the students union CEC, SRC and JUDICIAL COUNCIL. Same thing applies to the HEC of the halls of residence. (I WANT YOU TO OPPOSE THIS WITH FACTS, NOT SENTIMENTS)

Wonder why IBOS fill everywhere

NEPOTISM
When an ibo is employed into a company, industry, farm, hospital, government establishments, radio is TV stations, commissions, ministries, churches, bakeries, eateries, police, LASTMA, everywhere..... You just name it.
Through their Ezes and Heads, they all been mandated to make sure every vacancies or spaces is filled with ibos only.
This is why people wonder why they prefer to be personnel managers and head employment offices while they have certificates which betters that position.
Even in schools, without the awareness of fellow teachers and lecturers, they mischievously award high marks to ibo students at the detriment of knowledge and other students. Little wonder why they always have best students. This has been proven by the recent closure of schools and sanctioning of schools in Anambra state by Gov. Soludo for malpractices.
They even hope to hunt bourgeoises among the yorubas by making sure their females get accidental pregnancies to them. That's why most honourable Yorubas are married to ibo girls.
Tinubu's son
Fanikayode's wife
Governor Akeredolu
Gov. Adeleke and many others. This is as children tends to go along the love of their mothers, these children will ask eventually take decisions that would favour the ibos operation of "CONQUERING THE YORUBAS".
even in government offices, the females among them lure their Yoruba bosses for sexes to buy positions for their fellow ibos and get them fill vacant spaces.

We shouldn't be typing rubbish in the name of politics. The Igbos might have their own shortcomings just like other tribes in Nigeria, surely you can't accuse them of taking over all the government offices in Nigeria.

I am a full blooded Yoruba man who has been to 35 out of the 36 states in this country. The Igbos are highly tribalistic in nature but surely they are not occupying all the posts in government offices.
