As many as 920 out of 947 municipalities in this northeastern region submitted their requests.

The miasma of corruption & nefariousness in Government !

"I have always argued the corner that both the Southern and Northern ruling class/elite in Nigeria are a classic case of "to pull devil, pull baker".

Each of the pair is as bad and big a rogue as the other. It is now clear to all and sundry that no matter what part of the country produces a leader, the leader is part of the rotten system. A bad tree will always produce rotten fruits, no matter what part of the tree you care to pick your fruits from.

Nigeria has always been found wanting in radical disciplined visionary leadership, and no society can produce effective leadership when both citizenry and politicians/business men/religious leaders are rotten to the core. Any leadership is as good or as a bad as its people. A leadership will always reflect the predisposition of the people.

He added that rather than account for the alleged missing $20bn oil revenue, it kept giving untenable excuses.

Tinubu said, 

“They are so shameless that the number of years they have ruled does not matter to them. Don’t change the subject matter. Account for the missing money or go. All the explanations they gave about the missing money are just explanations. They steal from pensioners. We must kick them out.”

This was stated by Mr. David Shayler, a former MI5 officer, in a recent interview.
