Kudos to you Seun. I love the ways you are anchoring your programs, the way you asking your questions. It seems very clearer. You are doing good
This is the better way to think.
You can't blame president for everything.
Governors are closer to Thier people
the protest will soon get to the doors of the governor's with fct not exempted.
The truth is most Nigerians don't know what they want. Also we only just focus on the federal (presidency), we forget that the federal basically does policies, the states & civil servants are those to drive these policies. But we never hold the givernors accountable. I can categorically gaurantee u that, if the governors in Nigeria are functional in use of the funds being disbursed to them monthly, the kind of change needed in terms of food security, security of life & properties, shelter etc would drastically improve.
Most state givernors are using the funds to do monumental (captal projects), that has no impact on their people, as a means to steal as much as they can. Example is Nasarwa state; the governor is building an overhead bridge in Lafia, where there are no congested traffic anywhere in the city. While places like Fadama North & South, Rukubi etc are all agricultural LGAs without motorable roads, but are left on attended to. This is exactly whats taking place all over the country.
Have been saying this for years,the grassroot and state governments are choking the progress of Nigeria,but they keep arguing with me,and most people in Nigeria are illiterate a lot of them don’t even know the levels of government they don’t know what and who a citizen is in a democratic dispensation,they believe is chop I chop,very mondane mentality,it wil take years for Nigeria to progress…
@@GoodyJones progression will be even very difficult even after many years. Cos even those monumental projects aren't going to be maintained over time, in the end what seemed like infrastructural development becomes a liability infrastructure, due to lack of maintenance. Also Nigerians need to change their attitude towards government assets, people treat them like trash & expect them to last, while blaming the government for it not being maintained forgetting that we're the ones messing or destroying them. Imagine how people go about stealing drainage covers, or dedicating all around the road (over head bridges & in btw dualized roads, pouring dirt all around the express road, even when there are those designated to clear these dirt daily, people would throw them away randomly & anyhow, anywhere which makes it more difficult for those responsible to clear them properly.
I would like to disagree a bit. If removing the subsidy means increasing tax rates, higher prices for petroleum products, rising food costs, increased electricity bills, devaluation of the Naira, and providing more funds for governors, then removing the subsidy is useless. I still believe that his policies are more theoretical than practical. A one-size-fits-all policy can't work in Nigeria because our economy is still in the pre-takeoff stage and requires flexible policies.
And what are those authomatic flexible policies? Isn't giving more money to states are supposed to bring developments and create job opportunities for ppl?
Who directly affects the people most? The Fed or the sub-nationals? Who’s better positioned to distribute palliative sir? The Fed or the subnationals? Who should really invest more in Agriculture? The Fed or the the State who owns the land? You see, in a Federal system like ours, the governors cannot be controlled by the President’s because they also derived their executive powers from the same constitution. The Fed saves us from debt and saves money through subsidy, and didn’t keep it to himself but shared it it with the subnationals. He invested his own on Federal infrastructures and other recurrent expenditures for the Federation. But the Subnationals collected theirs pay the salaries and businesses as usual even in the face of excesses. And the Fed keeps publishing how much has been distributed to the subnationals, but we are overlooking their corruptions. Who’s to be blamed for that? Whenever people protested to the government house, have you ever seen any protesters asking the governor what was done with this funds. They merely other like , we are sending you to our no President to no let us know we are very angry with him and his policy. You hear governor say things like, “I’m with you “. Against who? The governors have fooled our people to think everything now on the Fed. I hear orotesters hail their governors for not flogging them or coming out to welcome them during protests. But these are the real culprits. What wrong with our analysis of sensitive matters as this?
@@DonaldOYewande wao. U nailed this . I am proud of you. Keep it up. I finally find someone with critical thinking and not follow follow. You have said it all. Do have a blessed day my friend
@@DonaldOYewande
I'm not referring to palliatives because they aren't sustainable, don't address the root causes of macroeconomic issues, and often don't reach the intended beneficiaries. If Nigerians weren't experiencing the current level of hardship when we had energy subsidies, then something is fundamentally wrong. The Buhari administration removed the subsidy before the election for his second term, which led to a spike in petroleum prices and caused widespread hardship. They quickly reinstated it, though not fully, and prices came down.
No country in the Western world lacks subsidies, especially on essentials that improve their citizens' quality of life. Living in the Western world, I can attest that their governments manage significant subsidies that positively affect people's lives. My concern remains: why take from the people and give to the governors if it doesn't improve the lives of citizens? Moreover, is the removal of subsidies the reason for the devaluation of our currency, increased inflation, and higher taxes?
This is the reason why Seun is 1000 times better than the WHOLE crew of Arise TV, Rufai, Orji, Ayo and Abbatti were undoubtedly emossionall and bias. They just bitter bcos Tinubu defeated Obi and Atiku. That 8s why 95% of their viewers and commuters were Obidients. Even Ayo and Rufai publicly said on their show that they Obideints since I have believe their analyzes are bias. Like Dr Abbat, if his analyzes favor Obi or against Tinubu Igbos will call him HERO but when his analyzes did NOT favor Obi or favor Tinubu they will attack him.
Seun, you're superb: impartial, unbiased, selfless, without acrimony or emotional resentment against any individual.
The so-called govs should be invited to question their stack on money disbursed to them.
We are unveilling the problem gradually
It's a serious issue. Monies disbursed to the citizens are spent by politicians and we joke about this serious issue. There's no check and balance put in place to stop corruption.
I really admire how Mr Seun always ends his programme saying " God bless Nigeria" Ameen
Now you guys are beginning to visit the proper areas to be visited,
The main problem is the state Governors not Tinubu
President Tinubu mean well for Nigerians
But Nigerians won't understand.
That's why our governors are fighting with there lives to make sure the protest doesn't hold in the the states
Because the Governors no where this whole dramas will end.
God bless you guys
is ur president daft to know that the money will be misappropriated? is it the right way to fight hunger... jokers
Straight fact 💯 thank you my person
Shaun, the people you should invite are the governors to answer the question. Please start engaging the governors.
Of course, the Governors too are just playing blame game, saying that the policies of the president were not working 👌 however they are continuing pocketing the increased financial allocations with out accountability
The macroeconomic polices is the major problem. What is the purchasing power of this "extra" revenue given to state governors if you have devalued the naira? When the head is rotten... The body dies
Another sets of thieves(state governor)
Mr wike should be the first ex governor and fellow by ex governor Mr willi Obiano. Guys are criminal in nature 😢
We are not having intelligent discussion here, the question is about the real and nominal value of money. Allocation to states increased by 25% but food inflation alone is 40%. States are getting less real money now.
How do we tackle food inflation when more money is chasing fewer food? The answer is critical investment in food production and food security throughout their value chains which leads to industrialization. The states owns the land, they received more money. What are they doing on food production? Without more food produce, we can’t talk about the price. Period!
Thank you so very much Seun, for this new perspective, you have just brought into this whole conversation. The FG has its own fair share of the problem, no doubt about it, because the FG is the chief policy maker. But the majority of the solution to the problem of the people's welfare resides more with the state government/governors. It is time we begin to redirect our focus.
Nigerians are eagerly awaiting your findings.
Thanks for youanalysis SAN FALANA
So what as the state governors did with all these disbursement?
I think we should descend on state government to give us the beak down of how they use the funds.
It's surprising that there isn't an app or easy-to-navigate website where citizens can track how their money is being used in their states.
I trust you seun please tell us how much our governors are collecting
Where's efcc chairman, lousy and pretencious Man, he See's all the wickedness of these governor's
You and I know that serving governors cannot be prosecuted. Only civil pressures within the state could bend their ends. The House of Assembly only with the power to impeach corrupt serving are always in the governors pocket. The moment your State House is a stooge to your governor; the state is doomed. No power can deal with a serving governor under a democracy but the State House or Civil movement not the same opening the State.
Seun you are a problem solver,. Real nice
If that's the case the presidency should publicize the amount of money given to each state and the reason for the disbursement to them
It is there in the government public space. The states now receive 300% or times 3 of what they used to receive.
Monthly allocations are announced every month if u were paying attention prior to this time.
@@adeabraham126exactly. It has averaged 1.2t naira for the 3 tiers of govt since the subsidies were removed. They also published the pct of all what each tiers of government gets.But folks don't never paid attention
Seun, it is our president we should ask of our money because he removed the subsidy and direct it to state
Thanks Seun for asking these questions…..kudos to Channels TV
This is the same question i am asking, where is the money allocated to the states to Cohen the effort of the remover of oil subside remover
What a country we live in. This is a case of neocolonialism where few people are politically and economically beneficiaries of bad governance. We are sitting on gun powder that can explode anytime. Mr president should rise to the occasion and allow the institutions to nurture our democracy.
Now you are doing the right thing. You follow up Mr President renewed hope plans and ask questions concerning it, so that citizens will know where to channel their protest.
Follow up the policy's and make people ask questions, not to talk talk and talk, let's be critical citizens. We have freedom of information. Good informations.
Mr president should call them in a meeting and ask them to give account, if no prove they should be arrested immediately.
They can't be arrested because of the immunity as state governors,so unfortunate
Seun, GOD BLESS YOU! God bless you for bringing the spotlight here. Let's ask the right questions. Enough is enough!
Hello Shaun weather the Government like it or not, Nigeria most work this time around
My problem with Tinubu is the cost of his administration and devaluing the currency, I have no problem with subsidy removal. But apart from these, the states are our major problem. Either we scrap the states and just have provinces with Mayors or the federation comes up with a way to make these governors accountable. He gives them money, you must report how the money is used.
Please no body should tell us to face the state governors, they are not the people that remove our subsidies and direct it to governors, if he knows how he did it he should know how to redirect the money back.
Kaduna state.........the Governor is not returning and Tinubu has lost the not completely in 2027
Does BAT operate like someone seeking a return? His policies are the toughest way and the best for us for a Permanent fix. Let his result in 2027 determine that. If he fails by them, let him take the boot. Too early to say all this.
Until citizens focus on governor's nothing will happen
Seun the truth is that subsidy has affected the cost of living the cumulative effect is massive while I don't support how governors expend their money, The federal government is responsible for policies that set the pace. This is what should have been defined clearly before removing the subsidy. The cart came before the horse. It looks like money has been withdrawn from the masses to the state Governors and they can't be held accountable the problem is not removing the subsidy but can you implement policies that will cushion the effect? If not pay the subsidy. Even the corruption in subsidy can be handled it is not a myth as we are led to believe. if you don't handle corruption now, it will still come around and have massive effects, this is the crux of the matter
The president don't have any right to asked the governor's how they spend their found except we the citizens.
RESTRUCTURING Nigeria back to regional government now to six regions- NE, NW, NC, SW, SS, and SE is inevitable is we want prosperity as a country.
The president giving such money to the governors is like when we were young and stole meat from the pot we gave part to the younger brother the logic was to extend the culprit to justify the conscience.
Kudos seun kudos
Fellow Nigerian this is the basic of the protest solution ,
Pls protest for Transparency not Tinubu must go,
Money as being distributed to each state governor ,question? Why Governors are not talking until the president spoken?
Governors are the most evils the systems is having,remember the time of Covid 19 pandemic palliative when the palliatives were stored in warehouses for campaign,
Pls fellow Nigerians you have to questions the state government
Our government needs to stop telling us they're building roads & bridges like it's a charity or a philanthropic undertaking
Local & state govts need to undergo serious probes & govs need to have their immunity temporarily suspended in short-term and then long-term
Judiciary needs to be reformed immediately
People need to feel impact of govt from the local level up and not from the central level down
Immunity should be removed from governor's and see turn around in our country
Seun you have forgotten that inflation has eroded what ever increment in state allocations. This by no means does not exenorate the state governments from being questioned for accountability
👷🏼♂️🏭⚙️👩🏻🏭FGN must create new jobs, INDUSTRIAL manufacturing in all 774 LGA to employ us, end poverty. Palliative gift always finishes 🍞🌽🍚🦈
Starting with the $800 million world bank Buhari specifically told the world it was for poverty alleviation none of that money have reached the poor. Tinubu have also shared trlions including rice- no one can point to anyone they know that collected a grain of rice. For you Nigerians, you deserve all you get next listen to your Imam and pastors vote along religious and tribal lines.
God bless you name sake ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Distraction, deflation
I luv dis seun, if am a girl I could have hookup with dis guy to appreciate him for what is doing for the mercy. Because this only channel tv dis politicians are watching in various offices and home including Aso Rock. Because I work sometime ago.
Is this not the same Russian flag that's standing beside the President during his address?
Keep disbursing without checks and balances will always end up in wrong hands. The people collecting these billions mentioned should be able to account for them.
The demostrators should go and ask their governors
Where is the money disbursed to States for poverty alleviation? Is that some kind of emergency question.
One thing I must guarantee the political class this small money of subsidy they have taken from the poor people they will not eat it in peace
The protesters are supposed to be protesting in their various states to hold their governors accountable
It won't work. The pressure most be on the president who removed the subsidy. Why do we have Efcc? What's the Federal government doing. If it's Tinubu's personal money will he release it without a follow up?
Two sets of people not actively doing their jobs in this country are the investigative journalists and Judiciary.
Always feels like interviewers always use question and answers with no evidence or receipts as investigative journalism. Kudos Seun but we must still do better .
just invest this money in agriculture to secure food in few months... just imagine... this APC government is a joke. they don't know which way to go
All na audio money! Let any federal govt officials come and tell us the truth. Even Tinubu should have mentioned it in any of his speach that we should hold the governors accountable.
Some ofl the palliatives also goes to party members and not Nigerians, and they odd the rest for elections which they don't even know if they will still be alive till then.
So wicked minded set of people.
From up to bottom, they are very wicked.
Hope uzodimma of Imo state is the worst governor in South East...he should tell us where our money is
They giving people money for fish instead of providing net to catch fish, Nigeria no add up
It's always been like all over the world. Those are temporary measures and safety nets for the poor.
Most of Nigeria we hipocrate, it's only few seriously want to know how the state money is going, because if truly you want to call your state governor accountable, it needs to be all around but what i see is that there's alots of tribalism, a certain region forcus there fight to lagos,abuja and federal which unfear,
Your state governor are collecting money but all what you'll be saying is they used fed. money to develop lagos when it was the capital really!,
Since when, so since they're have returned Capita to abuja and abuja has been capital longer than when lagos was capital but the GDP of lagos still far more than Abuja,
Regardless the governors are doing decent job,
What's the results of your own governor, we saw what wike did in PH, we are seeing what his doing in Abuja now, we are seeing what sanwolu and makide, nither state but what can you say your governor is doing but your problem is president,
May the lord help us in this country of Hippocrates
Seun, you are not asking the right questions. Do we need to disburse cash instead of a planned progressive agricultural revolution at the beginning of the rainy season?
the same question i am asking... failed government. just imagine the kind of heads we have as ministers... very empty headed and inexperienced without competence.
FG should be helping nigerian through sme program so that tension will come down.
How can Tinubu disburse billions of Naira to the State Governor's as palliatives to disturbed. Where is the money? Gifts to the State Governors. Foolish move.
I have bern saying that every citizens should hold his or governor accountable and not the presidency. Since the cancelation of subsidy, essch state allocation has increased. What are the governor doi v with money. Lets stop concentrsting on tge federal zlone
Well, as usual as a people we get emotional. If you ask 10 nigerians what they want, you get 10 different answers. What do we want collectively as a PEOPLE. Just one thing will do! Perhaps we should start questioning the Governors and Local Government Chairman. Everything is not federal. Most of us live in states and LGs but everything is federal. We need to organize and focus as a people. Let ask for just 1 thing.
Northerners don't like to hold their own accountable at all.. during Buhari's time things were very bad as well, but northernwrs kept shielding him & refused to protest against him. That's also why they can't hold their givernors accountable on issues of food security & security in particular. If they did, them & other parts of the country would have been better for it.
Then their are these group of northern business men who keep hoarding thousands of trailer loads of both perishable & non perishable food stuffs and would rather see them all destroyed than sell them for people's consumption.
Seun this so call increases in allocation since the removal of subsidies compared the exchange rate even last year August to the present without stabilizing the market pumping money will not make a difference
Pumping money can make a huge difference if judiciously used. U dont understand how economy works my friend
You are starting to get sense, governors are the problem of the country
Thank you Seun for your patriotism towards our country. You are a real journalist.
More money in circulation without any transaction...this administration are causing more inflation. More money pursuing few commodities. Your carbinent lacks professionals Tinubu
Seun I did not support you on this, Seun who gave them the money.
I have the figures. I can't post it, i don't know why
Hey, did Nigerian president Tinubu really pass his high school Economics subject? Who taught him that inflation is tackled with releasing money to the people by the government?🤣
The governors are the problem but because of hate for Tinubu they are avoiding those putting them in pain
Instead of Tinubu to keep giving them funds why not just put the money in something the ordinary citizens can benefit directly from? It's like taking subsidy money from the masses to give it to the Governors. Does that make any sense ? He is just trying to be on their good book for politics sake not for the interest of the common Man.
@@luckyisumafen1269correct
increased fuel prices (petrol, gas,diesel )devaluation of the naira, poor supply and high electricity tariffs, major infrastructure is it without the power of the states. This is the major issues causing the hardship.
Subsidize food from the source .For Example ,We know the major rice miller and rice importers in the country, Why don't we subsidize it at least for a year and pay them the excess and announced no retailer should sell rice mire than 40k and and any store that sell more than that should be reported
The truth is palliative can't go round but subsidy can . So the federal government should find a way to look for a way to stop theft instead of removing subsidy 😊
Stop importation, thus stop subsidy!
Swap Crude Oil with local Refineries (eg. Dangote Refinery) in exchange for supply of Petrol for domestic use.
The price if petrol will go drastically low.
Billions of Naira can not replace mediocrity... lack of cerebral engagement is a disease!
U're right. But those profiting from the subsidy, that are not even Nigerians are more, while Nigeria keeps pilling up debt. If Nigerians are the major beneficiaries of the subsidy it would have been awesome. U'll say why can he deal with those criminally stealing from subsidy? That's going to be extremely difficult. That's why he opted for the more difficult choice of removing the subsidy.. but with this it doesn't mean their wouldn't still be leakages.. but let's hold so many people accountable. Imagine each time rumor has it that fuel price would drop, the fuel stations will lock up their stations, & would instead increase the price when they open.. these are strong sign
This Constitution is the problem. Why are you not working to change it
This is the military constitution .
Pls bring back the one worked before.
The money mentioned would have been lying down on few people 's bank account home and Abroad.
jagaban brought those governors in so that he won't drown alone.
Please Mr Seun, the money to the governors will only probably be use for infrastructures and social amenites in the states, of which the governors are not utilizing well too but how will it affect the food on the masses table?. What we need is the subsidy back which will make transportation less, lead to reduction in food prices etc. That's the most important now. State governors are not the ones to return fuel subsidy. I believe if the president today puts back the fuel subsidy it will go along away to reduce the suffering of the masses. Please people are really suffering. A sachet of 10 table drug of N1,200 during Buhari's regime is now N9,000. It's really bad. President Tunibu should help Nigerians. It's well.
No going back to subsidy, tell your governor to do is bit, from there we move, it can be good like a magic but with bit by bit, let the governor show what they're using the money to do.
Thats what have been sayin lets question the governors and let the federal be.
Is it state governors dat make d policy, remove subsidy on fuel, electricity, increase import duties, devaluation of naira. The state governors are also suffering bcos of federal govt policy.... d increase money to governors are worthless bcos of d inflation. Money is not d problem, the problem is inflation dat needs to be manage. People make more money too now but it doesn't reflect and high cost everything make it vanish.... governors are affected too
Audio money 💴 🤔
People can't eat you are doing Projects...
Useless projects
ALL YOU KNOW IS FOOD THAT YOU EAT TODAY ONLY FOR YOU TO SHIT IT TOMORROW, PROJECT WILL LAST TO THOSE YET UNBORN .
THERE A LOT OF FOOD ONLY EXPENSIVE GO AND GET A JOB DON'T BE LAZY.
Seun, are you sure, in the real sense , that more money are being given to the states after removal of subsidy?
This question becomes imperative because Naira purchasing power decreased when value of naira went down 1500 to a $1
You are completely ignorant. It's there in the public space. The governors now receive 300% or times 3 of what they used to receive
Senu I'm very proud of you. You are now doing good investigative journalism and engaging the citizens.
It happens in Ex President time they blinded you guys for only talking without speaking the facts and letting the citizens know what is going on.
The problems nigerians have, we don't care to know what is going on. We have phones, TV and on but people don't care. But only concern to talk and violence.
Ogun State as a case study. The then Ijebu North Chairman told the world that the money meant for the LGA in the State was not disbursed to them. Rather than other Chairmen to come out loud,they were boxed and intimidated to back the governor and blackmailed this gentleman and he was unceremoniously impeached on trump up charges. Obafemi Owode LGA, despite its proximity to Lagos,no single road or any infrastructural amenities could be seen.
This protest is head and directed by the wrong actors. It’s is head by people that are not interested in solving Nigerian problem but those buttered by the result of last election. Why whoever end up dying in this process die in vain bcos you’re fight alongside wrong people. Sowore want to become president without a democratic route which is not possible Nigeria is not Iran. We are not a jihad state. In the us or uk, resource will never come directly to anyone from the Fede government no it come through the states. But why you all are shouting end bad governance, and fixing removing TINUBU, referring to him has clueless and him having done the needful, that is sharing the resources according to Nigerian constitution to the state will rightfully think though you’re saying you’re hungry but you recruit to just rally by the same people you should crying to bcos they are the rightful people to look after you, the Governors and local chairman. The job of the federal government and judiciary are to make and enact laws not feeding the nation. They only disbursed allocations not empowered to say in particular how to spend it.
Bangaladesh =
