Thoo, am impressed by Local government performance in Lagos

What is impressive about Lagos LGA performance when they are not employing enough workers and paying them well to do everything they are supposed to do, including free primary education and free basic healthcare, as well as refuse collection and feeder roads maintenance?

STATUTORY FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 provides in the Fourth Schedule the main functions of Local Governments in Nigeria as follows: –

(a)the consideration and the making of recommendations to a State Commission on Economic Planning or any similar body on:
(i) the economic development of the State, particularly in so far as the areas of authority of the Council and of the State are affected, and
(ii) proposals made by the said Commission or body;
(b) collection of rates, radio and television licences;
(c) establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds and homes for the destitute or infirm;
(d) licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically-propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts;
(e) establishment, maintenance and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks and public conveniences;
(f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as maybe prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State;
(g) naming of roads and streets, and numbering of houses;
(h) provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage and refuse disposal;
(i) registration of all births, deaths and marriages;
(i) out-door advertising and hoarding;
(ii) movement and keeping of pets of all descriptions;
(iii) shops and kiosks;
(iv) restaurants, bakeries and other places for sale of food to the public,
(v) laundries, and
(vi) licensing, regulation and control of the sale of liquor.

Apart from these exclusive functions, the function of Local Governments shall include participation of such Councils in the government of a state as respects the following matters:
(a) the provision and maintenance of primary, adult and vocational education;
(b) the development of agriculture and natural resources other than the exploitation of minerals;
(c) the provision and maintenance of health services; and
(d) such other functions as may be conferred on a local Government Council by the House of Assembly of the State.

As provided for in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Local Governments have functions and responsibilities assigned.
Some of these functions are performed exclusively by the Local Government like the maintenance of cemeteries, markets and motor parks. On the other hand, some other functions and responsibilities are performed concurrently with the State Government. Among these concurrent functions are primary education, agriculture, health and any other functions that may be conferred on Local Government by the House of Assembly of the State.

As can be seen, these various functions and responsibilities of Local Governments are quite enormous and demanding. The tragedy of the situation is that Local Governments have very limited and circumscribed sources of revenue to enable them execute meaningfully and effectively the functions and responsibilities assigned to them.

In my local government at Ajeromi Ifelodun in Ajegunle, we have not felt the presence of local government at all, take for instance, the road from otto – wharf to Achakpo have never been maintained for as provided in the constitution, the question begging for an answer, is what do the Ajeromi Local Government do with money that go to them?

HOW IS YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT?, express your mind if indeed they are working now that you know their functions.

Any agbadorian that complain may thunder from abeokuta miss reno omokry locate you. FOOLS

They made it more from pos guys. Every average agent does at least 30 transfers in a day.

Imagine! A government that is happy extorting its own people. Something that should be free you're charging levy on it.

Who will now tell them that this doesn't make sense?

This is the perfect definition of system collapse:

No money in the bank even if we want to use cash making everyone rely on electronic payments

Nigerians are losing money with all of this - POS agents will charge you, banks will still charge you. This is crazy

Hmmm

If you allow them to share this money without doing anything to benefit you who pays them, whose fault is that?

When the cat is away and/or nonchalant, then the mouse will play and occupy the space, not so

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

what exactly I'm i suppose to do.....start a revolution or fight d government?

Its easy to write on papers... there is nothing much we can do rather than vote and hope it gets counted... what I'm i even saying....poor and stupid people who make up the majority will still collect palliative and vote in this people....when this happen what exactly are we suppose to do?

FG collecting a lot from its citizens and giving nothing back. That's robbery. No good roads, electricity tarrifs are high with no stable power, security is ZERO, petrol is still above N800 despite a crash in crude oil prices, the refineries aren't all working, food is expensive, transportation is expensive, yet the levies keep increasing. What exactly do the government do for us? Yet they keep collecting.

Yet, they still continue borrowing as a result of corrupt system

Money that should be in the people's pockets you taxed it out of them, wringed it by force out of their hands, no nation can tax itself into prosperity

Taxation itself is slavery

We shall be redeemed

This tribulation shall end

We are in a government of hyper taxation.

Of course, there is money in the country being squeezed out of the public in various ways as subsidy removal, taxes, charges, levies, rates etc for the looting pleasure and luxury of the president.

Any idea what else the government is doing with all our money if they are still taking loans

That thing doesn't have a brain, you ought to just ignore it!

Thieves taking our 50 naira every time

Who that one help. Than politicians in charge

Will the masses benefit from the revenue, or will it be used for making our politicians comfortable?

The citizens are being milked dry by self serving, corporate crooks within the corridors of power!💯💯💯💯✔️✔️✔️

One day na one day o! ... Kwantinue 😎😎😎

Worthless Tinubu government.

Nigeria is probably the only country where you actually lose money while saving it in the bank

Have you heard of enLIGHTenment? Working to educate people about governance choices and policies?

If oyinbo people didn’t do that and continue to do so, would they have clipped the wings of their previously absolute monarchy, which still exists in the Middle East?

I wish they could use this money to better the lives of its citizens

My two major challenges now are the amounts i pay for dstv and electricity bills.

Spending N10k a week to recharge my electricity chai! something i used to spend N3k to N4k monthly when they introduced the prepaid arrangement.

.. that is the results of Nigerians voting an incompetent president into power..it's a pity

Funkyswagzz:
So this is how tinubu is growing the economy

Anybody believing that Tinubu will deliver - is sick! What happened to high hopes of Buhari's government? Nigerians are poor students of history!

and in the end such amount would either be shared among themselves or be looted by someone. A sincere nation knows what to do with such money to alleviate poverty. Not Nigeria my country
