Stop whining just because GEJ is failing.

He is the only person who can push for true federalism, and he HASN'T.

You can't blame everyone else for the man's incompetence. Especially when some Governors ARE performing.

You don't see Fashola letting the FG get in the way of his performance. Why should we cry for GEJ?

trix!:


Of all the ridiculous things I've read on NL, this definitely takes the price.
So its Ok for the states and LGA to under-perform as just because you feel the FG isn't performing?

I keep telling people that is is much easier to hold your counselor/ward chairman/LGA chairman able, than to be looking at far away Aso Rock.

Lets hands together and make Nigeria great! The change must begin from the bottom up!

You are missing the great gospel of Nigeria autocratic democracy! How do you hold your counselor/ward chairman/LGCDA chairman etc to ability when the FG who is the custodian of the institutions that ought to be the platform on which concerned citizens will call the these leaders and made them face the full weight of the law when found wanting?

Imagine I have information on a corrupt dealing by a LG Chairman, who am I to turn to? is it the Police that is synonymous with corruption? Is it the Judiciary that is a custodian of the grail book of corruption? of is it the supposedly anti-corruption commissions that are monuments of corruption themselves? Else are you suggesting I take the laws into my hands become a Bokoharamist and bomb bomb bomb?

Lets call a spade a spade. The FG has failed eternally to create the institutions highly needed by Nigerians for them to become the "first eye of witness" who keeps the society in watch.

I have no doubt in my mind that u are very daft. Where in my comment which u qouted did I stated the above? Where did I endorse the thievery going on in the states.
Again I reiterate that u are really daft.
By the way dumb, change can only happen from above down and not vice versa.

The same way the performance of the FG is measured is the same way that of state and LG should be measured which is basically media propaganda on some paid tv programmes especially on AIT which needs patronage as its broke and NTA/FRCN which are govt owned and not independent.

Forgot to add that states /lg for lack of finance for tv media engage in use of billboards to showcase their well constructed projects. Sadly though the pictures in the billboards and what is on ground have little or no similarities.

Intresting,dissection of nigeria quasi federalism going on here.

Much burden and expection has always been placed on the shoulder of the FG whom is d cradle of corruption,this same oga's @ the top directly control the local lord's in their respective state accros the federation. Its has always been about go and fetch our share @ the centre.

...Na paddy paddy govt......in the voice of fela
