On the kind of woman he's interested in getting married to?

'How Governors steal Local Govt funds' - Ex-President Obasanjo alleged


Obasanjo alleged that many governors illegally deduct substantial sum from the Local Government Allocations. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday, October 11, said that governors are Nigeria's  "greatest obstacles" to the development of  Local Government in the country.
He stated this during an interactive session after delivering his keynote address at the maiden International Conference on Politics, Security and Development held at the Babcock University, Ilisan-Remo, Ogun State.
Obasanjo accused the governors of stealing council funds thereby endangering the development and growth of the councils. He said once the Local Government Allocations are released from the federal account, the state governments deduct a substantial sum from it, and spend the remaining on shoddy programmes to cover up the fraud. The former president said that no Local Government chairman had the effrontery to challenge the illegal deduction.
According to him, he initiated the local government reforms in 1976 to make the LGs autonomous, functional and developmental, but the governors have impaired the functionality of the councils with their lack of integrity. "An effective, efficient and performing local governments system and operation will enhance the delivery of dividends of democracy and governance in Nigeria," Obasanjo said at the conference themed, "Forty years of Local Government Reforms and Democratic Development in Nigeria: Critical Perspectives,".
"Not allowing local governments to work and stealing their funds from source by states is one of the greatest disservices of all political parties in the present dispensation of our democratic experiment.
"In fact, experiences in many states of the federation have shown that local government administrations have become the most constitutionally-abused matter in the country since the 1999 Constitution became operational. Only a handful of states had held local governments’ election.
"Others have carried on as if it is legal to run local governments without the constitution that created them.
"Most state governors floated the idea of appointing transition committees comprising of their surrogates to oversee the affairs of the councils. The trend, sadly, has been maintained in some states till now.
"In others where the polls had been conducted, the governors, in connivance with corrupt electoral officials subservient to the governors and the ruling party committed malpractices which make a mockery of the process," he lamented.

'Fulani herdsmen attack on Igbos may bring grave consequences' - Actor

The veteran actor thinks persistence in the attacks on his kinsmen by the Fulani herdsmen may force them to fight back. The actor stated this in a proverbial way during an interview with Ugwumba Television.
He said, “If an innocent child is respecting you whilst you flog him, he would retaliate when you force him to a tight corner."
“I say to you, man will die once and one day and defend himself with whatever weapon available to him. That is the way I will answer your question on killer herdsmen.”
Though there have been various reports of violent attacks on communities all over the country by the herdsmen, but many of these cases happened in the eastern part of Nigeria.
Most of the attacks have been unprovoked, making it a source of wonder for observers to understand why they have been occurring.
