Edo State of Nigeria has been classified among the States in critical financial condition by the recent release of the financial conditions of the States of the Nigerian Federation by the Governor’s Forum, a great initiative of Prince Asishana Okauru who is the Director General of the Governors Forum. And many Nigerians that spoke to National Peoples News are full of praise for the organization for speaking out the true situation so that quick remedies can be worked out to salvage these states from total collapse.
In the case of Edo State the major cause of this Failure is due to successive bad and kleptomaniac leadership of the state for the past 12 years since the beginning of this nascent democratic dispensation in 1999.
The State gets the normal funds from the Federations Account and also as a Petroleum Producing State get part of the 25% derivative allocations to the Petroleum Producing state monthly as well are getting support from the Niger Delta Region Agency that was formed by the federal government to assists all the States of the Niger Delta to achieve rapid social and economic progress.
The various governors of Edo State only achieved ruining the state through massive looting of the treasuries of the good people of Edo State.

Now what can be done to restore Edo State back to its former greatness?
The only solution is to vote into office in 2012 a competent Governor that will take Edo State to greatness…Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga , a great son of Edo State has been persuaded by his people to contest in the governorship election of 2012 and hopefully, if he wins then we are optimistic that he has the capacity and international connections to take Edo state to the promised land.
Right now Edo state has no single industry that is functioning or any functioning Factory in the great state. A State that has a population of above 4 Million people.
 Many of the sons and daughters of the great state have checked out to other states in Nigeria while some have traveled abroad in search of greener pasture. Whereas in Edo state God has blessed them with virtually everything that can make them the leading state among the 36 federating states of Nigeria.
Edo state is blessed with Petroleum, lime stone, calcite, granite, ferrous iron, gold diamond, radium, uranium, barium and many other valuable minerals.
The agriculture and animal husbandry is also blessed as Edo state has cocoa, cashew, palm oil, timber, rubber lattice, cotton, ginger, etc.. And as in food crop Edo state is also a leading state. The only problem with Edo state is the wrong leadership. And once Edo State can vote for the right person in the forth coming election then they are set for greatness.
The educational sectors were Edo State used to lead other states has plummeted with the advent of the draconian rule of Adams Oshiomale who charges exorbitant fees from all the schools of Edo State. For instance in the universities and Polytechnics the fees was at N15000 Naira before Adams Oshiomale came to power but after he resume he hiked the fees to N80,000 Naira making it virtually impossible for the parent to afford to sent their siblings to higher institutions. And it is the same for secondary schools.
Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga has promised in his Manifesto, that if elected the Edo State governor in the 2012 general elections, he is going to make education free  and qualitative at all levels; as he believes that a sound education is the greatest asset, a state can ever bequeath its people.
Currently Adams Oshiomale is taxing the Edo State peoples to their blood. He has recently introduced a transport corp. similar to the FRSC of the federal government competing with the agencies under the presidency in order to create a quasi sovereignty of Edo state and put the state into slavery in perpetuity as his colleague Gov Raji Fashola is doing in Lagos. They belong to the same ACN party. There method is to Rule using the methods and philosophy of Machiavelli to control, dominate and enslave the people through stilt, disinformation, brute force and unusual tragedies, systematic disparaging and impoverishment of perceived opponents and a blatant arrogance that they have a monopoly of wisdom. We all know this is a pathological disease suffered by people evincing a deep sense of guilt and self pity of lack of adequate expositions and enlightenment.
Recently Adams Oshiomale demolished the houses of a former great military Governor of the state General Osaigbovo Ogbemudia and that of Senator Owie because they belong to the opposition coalition of parties that are ready to wrestle power form him come 2012 polls. That is how his demolition squad demolishes the houses of millions of people in the state for questionable infrastructural developments at over inflated bills to the great peace loving people of Edo State.

THE GREAT PLANS OF PRINCE FRANK UKONGA TO DEVELOP EDO STATE:
Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga studied Road ,Bridges and Highway Construction from a prestigious Soviet Union [Russia] University so the aspects of infrastructural development is his field of study and he is going to develop all the Edo State Roads, Bridges, Airports, Stadiums, Town Halls, dams, boreholes, electricity, and other infrastructures in partnerships with his former class mates in Russia using direct labor system which is going to create lots of jobs. The amiable Prince of Igarra said the direct labor force in infrastructural development of the state which he is going to implement as an expert in the field will create at least 0ne million jobs and also train Road and civil engineers in his former school in Russia…
 “I promise that Edo state is going to get the first biggest asphalt/ bitumen production factory , a modern quarry industry and would be the largest in Africa in the aspect of provisions of Road and civil construction raw materials like building blocks, cement, iron rods, flat sheets, angles…electrical components bulbs…glass making factories.. Granites, tiles, plumbing materials, interior decoration and roofing materials, nails, aluminum roofing, asbestos roofing materials etc…we call this in Russia – “stroitelnoye materialov”  and it’s a very big profitable industry...this will increase to hundred folds the resources of the state-
Alhaji Aliko Dangote is the richest man in Africa because he is investing in that field of construction material of cement etc and he never studied that field in school…
But I studied it in school. I can tell you how to make cement, build the components that will process the lime stone and will grind and heat it into powder and use either the wet method or the dry method… same with the manufacture of bitumen, asphalt, tiles, paint, iron rods, roofing sheets , nail making and virtually all building and construction materials. I can in a jiffy put up any factory including cable factories, tools factories…just name it… we do a lot of practical in Russian Schools but remember I will not build these factories in my name, I will build them for Edo state people , in their name…you must understand that Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga is an acetic Prince.. That is such Princes that hates the mundane accumulation of money and material wealth for personal use and hates ostentatious living…I am like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru…Murtala Mohammed, Aminu Kano, Obafemi Awolowo, ….”.
In the aspects of industry the Prince promise an industry to be sited in  every local Government area  in the state… the big industries will span food canning, ginnery, textile, cement production, fertilizer productions lines, palm oil processing factories, tools making factories, cocoa processing factories, refineries, automobile manufacturing factories ,computer and electronic manufacturing factories, cable manufacturing factories, Plastic manufacturing, pulp and paper manufacturing factories, printing presses, and also to invest heavily into small and medium scale industries… he is also convinced that Edo state should be the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria in the distribution of all goods in the country as it is located in the heart of Nigeria. So warehouses will be built to stock and distribute goods from all manufacturers in the country.
He also promises to support market women by building good affordable stores and markets all over the state and also give direct grants to all market women in the state.
Scholarships and bursary awards to all students of EDO State as well as social security salary to be paid to people without jobs…it may not be much but everybody must get something from the Prince at the end of every month to keep body and soul together.
As for the hospitals; new hospital with modern equipments, will be built in all local government headquarters of the state..
And pharmaceutical companies will be invited to Edo State to manufacture the genuine drugs for the state great citizen. “We shall not tolerate fake drugs in Edo state as soon as I become the governor of the state.”
 Said the Prince of Kukuruku Provinces, principalities and powers.
 “My birth was a foretold one …and I reincarnated from the spirit realm into the material world to come and help people, and alleviate their sufferings., bringing smiles and joys to their faces…that is my destiny in life….I hate treasury looters; if I am in the position of power I will execute or give life jail terms to treasury looters…just as done in China and Russia…”
As for water, it is also his field of study and he has promised to provide drinking water to run in the now dry taps of the Edo peoples.
As for electricity, because of our need for rapid development we shall assist the federal government to generate electricity of above 5000 MW to the national grid.
As for Steel rolling mill he offered the following…” No nation or State can become an industrial giant without the capacity to produce liquid steel. We shall commence our liquid steel rolling mill the first day I become the governor of the state…and this will attract investors to the state like bees to honey”
As for sports, culture and youth development the prince promised to take the state to the highest level of sports, youth and cultural development…
As for Education he promised to build new universities, secondary schools, research centers, nursing schools, agricultural and technologically equipped polytechnics and to invest in nursery and primary education.
“I strongly believe that the aspects of industrial and agricultural development should not be left for the private sector alone… I believe in a well managed mixed economic and industrial state and my prerogative will be to form and run numerous factories and industries and to partner the private investors through share acquisition and access to state debenture capitals, Tax relief incentives as well as tax deductibles…”
“Most of what I will do to revamp Edo state , I wrote in my award winning book published in 1992 – The Seething World- Reparations for the Black Race- the book is a modern dictionary of how to develop and govern a state to success; the book made the Deans list of Northwestern University In Illinois State of the United States along with the book of Prof. Wole Shoyinka and Prof Ade Ajayi as most valuable books of the Human Race,-a very short list of 20 most valuable books of the world- it also made the list of most valuable books of Open Library of America along the books of  great sages like President Kwame Nkrumah, Leopold Senghor former President of Senegal, and Secou Toure former president of Guinea…also a very short list..., and also classified by the United State Library of Congress as a most valuable book, as well as in many countries of Europe, Asia and Africa…”
“It also made the Wikipedia list in the Deway class of best books ever written by mankind- also a very short list and the Google books, Amazon books, E-bay, GET Cited, Abe books, Yahoo books, and all the book marketing sites of the internet on their own digitized the book without my knowledge and are selling it and using it to promote their sites. I am talking of big corporate institutions of the world investing courageously in a book without seeking the author’s permission…they would not take such great risk if the book is not a genius material, of course a golden book has no hiding place as the adage goes…Many of the great ideas in the book are being adapted by many countries of the world…”
“When a book is classified as most valuable category, what it means in most cases is that you have to get permission from an Attorney at law or a recognized, qualified Lawyer, to have access to my books in most exclusive libraries of the world”
“I appeal to the entire peoples of Edo State, to the entire great peoples of Nigeria and to all the powers there be, to the shakers and movers of the country and to the entire world in generality to assist me become the Governor of Edo State come 2012 general election so that we can all join hands to make the great legacies of king Ewuare, of King Esige, of queen Idia, great again….I am begging with honesty, humility and nobility…
Long Live Edo State …Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amen.”
The Amiable, handsome, gentle, soft spoken Prince concluded.
By all indication, the Prince is a great asset to Edo State, the Nigerian Federation and the world in generality in the aspect of polished, educated and enlightened, post modern human resource development.

EDITORIAL: NFF SACK OF SIASIA; NATIONAL EAGLE COACH FOR FAILING WOEFULLY TO QUALIFY THE GREEN EAGLES FOR THE AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS;-A COURAGEOUS STEP…. http://nationalpeoplesnews2.blogspot.com
KESHI- NEW EAGLE COACH
The NFF sack of the National Eagle coach for failing woefully to qualify the Nigeria National Football flag bearers the Green Eagle for the African Nations Cup has been commended by many as a giant step in the right direction.
It is time we start taking our duties seriously in Nigeria and to shun the lazy lackadaisical attitude to National calling to serve. For instance in Japan; when the first born of a family fails the National School Certificate Exams he knows exactly the import of this as accepted by the Japanese culture.. He is expected to commit suicide for bringing the family name to disrepute as a first born. It is a disgrace to leadership. Similarly the Jewish culture does not tolerate failure either from the first born or from any child sent on a National or even sundry mission…little wonder they are so highly successful the world over.
But in our culture as well we do not tolerate failure in the days of our fathers and ancestors. It is only of recent when nepotism, laziness, tribalism, occultism and other satanic virtues crept into our body history that we begin to notice this alien phenomenon called failure. You see some parents, their sons and daughters will fail the WASC and NECO AND JAMB and they will go to any length to influence the University Rectors to admit their failed siblings into the universities and these students will graduate and get the best jobs in the country and mismanage the position and become National embarrassments. We should turn a new leaf to promote ingenuity and hard work as our new National culture rather than tolerate mediocrity.

CBN CEO MALAM SANUSI LAMIDO SLAM GOVERNORS & MPs

CBN CEO MALAM SANUSI LAMIDO SLAM GOVERNORS & MPs
The CEO of the Central Bank of Nigeria - Malam Sanusi Lamido yesterday in a book launch ceremony in Kaduna blasted the Governors of Nigeria for their squandimania and looting character and reiterated that many States and many Local Govt councils are not viable and that they should either be scrapped or merged with other viable ones. Earlier on Malam Sanusi had warned before now of the salaries of the Senators and legislatures that consume 30% of the GNP of Nigeria in making laws ...and they are less than 2000 people, who consume all the money of Nigeria and leave the other 250 million Nigerians to wallow in poverty, scavenging and poor health delivery, hunger , poor education , illiteracy etc... all they do is globe troth with their girlfriends buying everything all over the world ...the situation is pathetic....


SUNDAY NATIONAL PEOPLES NEWS:THE ROLE OF CHURCH IN A DEVELOPING ECONOMY: A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE: CAN A NATION STATE CALL FOR SUPPORT FROM CHURCH FUNDS TO FINANCE ITS CAPITAL AND RECURRENT EXPENDITURES? SHOULD CHURCHES PAY TAXES?

SUNDAY NATIONAL PEOPLES NEWS:THE ROLE OF CHURCH IN A DEVELOPING ECONOMY: A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE: CAN A NATION STATE CALL FOR SUPPORT FROM CHURCH FUNDS TO FINANCE ITS CAPITAL AND RECURRENT EXPENDITURES? SHOULD CHURCHES PAY TAXES?
The globalization of the Judeo Christian History and pattern of ethics is a great blessing to mankind and the CHURCH and SYNAGOGUES became the flag ship of that culture order.
The history of the church and synagogues dates backs to the origin of mankind and has gone through thick and thin to survive and bloom in contemporary time with general acceptability due mainly to the premises of ethical morality of love, goodwill, order addressed for mankind to be at peace with his fellow man and at concord with his creator.
Whence their role in molding, the behavioral ethics and motivation of devotees is commendable. This has become a great legacy that has boxed the Hobe’s nature of man’s carnality where life becomes brute and short to the corner albeit still growing to achieve full conquest in this context..
THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF NATION STATES:
The church was very supportive to the development of many Nation States the world over in the context of governance, statehood, diplomacy, & financial support to governments and in many other ways, in its great turbulent history.
The Roman Empire that embraced the Catholic order was a Nation built around the philosophical and political system of the Bible, adulterated here and there with the doctrines of men in most instances addressed to jockey the society to acceptable standards…Church funds, offerings, tithes and contributions became very supportive in the infrastructural developments of these nations as well as in the capital, and recurrent budget expenditure of these nations.
After the Roman Empire, the Russian Orthodoxy, the Renaissance period of central Europe of Zuigily movement, John Calvin and the times of Ignatius Loyola all paid loyalties to their respective states…
Though at this juncture we need to quickly mention the Crusaders wars that were financed with church money waged by Christian Nations…
A major milestone was recorded in history, in the context of the great use of Church money to finance state budgets in the Era of King Henry, the Grand Father of Elizabeth 1 who for other reasons of search for a male hare to the throne of England Devoiced his wife ,Queen Mary the Nice of the Roman Papacy  for the inability to born him a male child, and was subsequently excommunicated by Rome.
He quickly formed the Anglican Church and mandated Lord Cranners the Archbishop of Canterbury to Nationalize all Catholic churches to the Anglican faith and got independence form Rome…This was a great mile stone in the spread of new marketable variation of same underlying reality of God worship among men and subsequently this great risk of King HENRY paid off as the Church Money was able to consolidate in the British society, rather than the est while capital flight as in church money being sent to Rome all the time.. Britain soon became capitalized and with support partly from these Church funds was able to kick start the British Industrial Revolution and today Britain is arguably the centre of Western Civilization…There are countless other examples of how great Nations looked up to the churches for funding their capital and recurrent expenditures…
ANALYSIS OFF CHURCH FUNDS IN NIGERIA:
Nigeria is a country with a per capital income estimate of above $1500.. with a GNP of above $300 billion annually and a large population of above 250 million people according to the 1963 census; so an estimate of growing number of the believers may put at an estimate of more than 100million believers in Nigeria and the tithe from these people 10% of their total earning, coupled with church offerings every Sundays, Wednesday and lots of offerings and harvests of churches, the Church institution in Nigeria has an access to colossal sums of money put at an estimate of above $80 billion annually.
 And when the new systems of having foreign branches as in big churches like the Redeem group of Adeboye, Christ Embassy of Pastor Chis Oyakilome, Bishop David Oyedepo’s Church group etc, with numerous branches in more than 80 Nations of the world the capital repatriated from these Nations all goes to the head office in Nigeria.
 Whence the Nigeria Church has become a great money spinning industry on a global scale and if one is not being conservative with the truth the Nigerian Churches collectively generate over 60% of the GNP of Nigeria i.e. above $200billion dollars annually. This is a colossal amount of money left to the hands of a few church leaders who unfortunately are not sensitive to the plight of the devotees paying the money in slavish reverence, as many devotees are redundant, jobless and poor, while the Church leaders globe trot round the world buying Airplanes, riding Jeeps all over the places with countless of security escorts and are living in breathtaking mansions etc.. Really living like oil sheiks….
The question is:
1] Should the Federal Government and State Governments pay deaf eyes to the cry of the devotees who are crying out for equity in shearing the dividends of the church money?
2] Should the Govt look up to the churches to cough out some of this colossal capital in their hand for National Developments of infrastructures which we all know are in bad shape…?
3] Should the government collect taxes from Churches as they also benefits from the general spending of the government in keeping the sovereignty safe, and prosperous for them to ply their trade..?
These are a few pressing questions that the States and Federal Governments has to look into with a view to come to equity in the aspect of Church money in the Nigerian State.
Whence there is the urgent need for the Federal and State Govts to invite all church leaders to a table conference and appeal to them for support in this hour of need of the Nigerian Federation.

EDITORIAL: STATE GOVERNMENTS COLLAPSES IN NIGERIA: SENATE MAY MERGE SOME STATES, WHILE SOME WILL CEASE TO EXIST; DECADES OF SQUANDERING, SENSELESS LOOTING & LIVING RECKLESSLY; A FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS.

EDITORIAL: STATE GOVERNMENTS COLLAPSES IN NIGERIA: SENATE MAY MERGE SOME STATES, WHILE SOME WILL CEASE TO EXIST; DECADES OF SQUANDERING, SENSELESS LOOTING & LIVING RECKLESSLY; A FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS.
State Governments in Nigeria has crash; the Second constitutional Tier of governance of the Nigerian Sovereignty has become a great embarrassment to the peoples of Nigeria, the entire African continent and the world in generality…due mainly to decades of wanton looting of the treasuries of the state by successive governors since the independence of the Nigerian Nation state…
 A giant sprawling civilization of Sub-Saharan Africa with a population estimate of 250 Million people projected from the authentic 1963 census and peopled by the Bantu stock of dark pigmented negroid typology, mixed with the Meronik peoples from the kursh civilization of the Middle Nile as in the Yoruba's, Igarra, Kanuri, Basange ….etc and a sizable percentage of the Fulani tribesmen who migrated to that part of the world after the collapse of the Fulani rule of the Mali Empire……
With this type of mixed tribal setting of more than 300 different tribes of Africans living together in a geo-political entity it became imperative to adopt a system of Federalism based on the concepts of 36 federating States under a Federal Government of presidential system and another third tire of government- Local Government, was added into it for reasons that the dividends of the sovereignty to trickle down to the poor dispossessed natives and those living in the rural areas..
the system is great as designed by those who drafted the constitution but those who become elected into offices are the problem of this large country as the genuine patriotic people are edged out of elective offices by the looters and mostly questionable leaders of this part of the world who rig the elections and grab power at all costs and begin to loot the nation dry in a vicious dangerously calculating cabals.
Little wonder after decades of looting more than $30 trillion dollars earned from petroleum export  resources of the Nigerian hard working peoples the state governance structure as in many of the federating states have become either distressed or in critical conditions, only four states [ Abia, anambra, akwa ibom and…. ]out of the 36 federating state are adjudged healthy with clean bill of health, all the other 34 states are either distressed  as for…[Niger state, Kano State, Katsina state…]..While a large number of the them are in critical condition category as in [ Kaduna, Edo,Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo…]and lastly a handful fall under the category of tolerable as in [Lagos State…….]
The collapse of the state structure has finally vindicated all the civil right groups and other pressure groups, including the world and Nigeria media that has been vocal against the recklessness and wanton larceny of the states by the governors.
 For instance about 40 percent of the total earnings in the federated account are constitutionally allotted to the states government every month since in  the inception of the nascent democratic dispensation in 1999 and within the period Nigeria has earned more than $ 4 trillion dollars from the recent increase in the prices of petroleum in the world market , that means close to $2 trillion dollars has been allotted to the state governments since 1999 plus the IGR internally Generated Revenue of average of 30% of the federal allocations, the states had access to above $ 3 trillion dollars in the past  one decade but unfortunately has nothing to show for this colossal sum of money that the federal government had sunk into them other than bad roads, lack of portable drinking water, illiteracy, poverty of the majority of peoples, poor and declining standards of education, mass failure in schools[ 77% failed both WASC, JAMB, NECO EXAMS], poor health delivery systems, the hospitals are mere consulting clinics, redundancy of skilled and unskilled labor, more than 200 million Nigerians are unemployed according to manufacturers Association of  Nigeria, youth restiveness, insecurity of lives and property, ravaging cases of AID ,HIV pandemic etc. Malaria and typhoid fever that is curable has become the major source of death of the people… right now the average life span is less than 40 years, no industries, nor factories, while the once that were operating before are checking out to other neighboring countries like Ghana, Togo .etc when they saw the situation of the leadership as abysmal.
 Rather than the governors to assist the Federal government in the aspects of electricity power generation, all they do is globe troth round the world with their wives and girl friends, buying everything in site in a gluttonous fashion, as if tomorrow will never come…alas tomorrow is just by  the corner and it is come. The day is dawn… the hour of reckoning is come… and all we have to show is failure of virtually everything in the polity….One of the greatest embarrassment in the entirety of the history of the Human Race in the aspects of statesmanship… the situation is despicable …
And like a sinking ship who is desperate vulnerable and dangerously calculating the governor grabbed all the funds allocated to the third tier of governance the Local Government structure of 774 local government like Counties and embezzle all the funds meant for the third statutory parallel tier of government because they operate the same joint account of which the governors are sole signatories..
So, through greed, indiscretion and mismanagement of resources have also killed the Local Government structures as well. And if urgent drastic action is not taken to shape things up they have the capacity to drag the entire sovereignty into further embarrassment as they are strong collectively.
WHAT SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT DO TO SOLVE THE SITUATION?
The functional approach is to isolate the specimen than can cause further destruction to any ecosystem and begin to give it serious medical treatment addressed to rapier that portion in this context the followings must be done urgently by the federal government
!] Separate the Local Government account from the state government account and have the first tier of governance firmly rooted as an anchorage of last resort. The advantage of this is to have 774 genuine authentic functioning Local Government with a review of their constitutional provisions as in power devolution from the states to the Local government councils….so that they can function on autonomous status and bring rapid social economic development to the grass root of the polity.
2] A committee to be set up by the federal government to look into the proper situation of things with the states under the following mandate:
a] Causes of the failure of State government institution in the country
b] The actual amount of money misappropriated or looted from the treasuries of the states and a record of those who looted them
c] A recovery back of this looted funds back to the state by appealing to EFCC for support.
d] What is to be done to revamp back to standard practice the State Government institution in the country.
e] Deterrence; after bringing them back to the standard practice what cane be done to make sure they do no go distressed again.
CONCLUSION:
In classical economic theory, the conclusion will always be that funds are insufficient as the reason for the failure of the states; and if after crucial examination this was the reason for mass failure of state governments then the Federal government will have to do something for them as in re empowering them back to stable functional capacities…
NOTATIONS:
1] BLOATED LARGER THAN LIFE IMAGE OF GOVERNORS:
 It is only in Nigeria that I have seen governors behaving as if they are head of Sovereign countries. They compete with the President and Ministers and Senators as if they are all equal. In trying to meet up with this bloated over inflated status quo of borrowed robs which they clad themselves in, is the crux of the entire reason of bloated state government spending and the inability for the allocations from the Federal accounts to cover their large recurrent expenditure budget, leaving nothing for the capital expenditures.
2] INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT LOANS: Those state that have taken loans of infrastructural development bias will come to ruin and grief as it is a very technical aspect of governance that can easily ruin any government be it state or federal if the moneys were solely spent on development and constructions of Roads, bridges etc in a resilient and reluctant industrial environments or perhaps non existent industrial environment… you will only be constructing roads for a few rich people to use and the majority to trek on foot , poor, unemployed, denigrated and wallowing in illiteracy, poor health delivery system, lack of portable drinking water and lack of electricity… So thenceforth all governors and local govt chairmen should invest directly in factories and take loans to build factories and not just leave that aspects to the private sector.. as the real sector of the economy contribute less than 3% to our GNP… that is the area the governors could have been highly invaluable in forming, investing and promoting small and medium scales industries with their resources… this will create a wealthy market and the multiplier effect will increase the IGR via taxes, create employment, reduce poverty and improve education and health care sectors…
DEFINITIONS & MISCONCEPTIONS ON BUDGETARY ANALYSIS:
In modern economic theories, government spending as in budgeting is classified under three categories namely:
1] CAPITAL EXPENDITURE,
2] RECURRENT EXPENDITURE
3] SOCIAL SPENDING
In Nigeria there seems to be a mixed up of this three aspects of budgeting to our own peril. For instance Road Construction is classified as Capital expenditure for the single reason that it is capital intensive; were as, this is perhaps an obscuring interpretation ;as to whether Roads have the capacity to return back the huge sums of money out played in its construction is not taken into consideration…
 Road construction in comtempory times will be classified as social spending which though mandatory but should not come before  industries, investment in the real sector of the economy, production lines, electricity, etc are the crucial substances that should be classified under capital expenditure in the aspects of developing economies. State and federal government spending should be directed to the areas of the real sector of the economy which has the immediate capacities in paying itself back directly and not on Roads that has only an indirect effect of paying itself back… when you have many factories, industries and commerce in place you can now tax the industries to build modern roads…. What we are saying here is that industries and the availability and plentiful of it should be the natural areas that the state government should invest in as in the U.S.A, Germany etc that has a large percent of small and medium scale industries rolling their economies these are the real middle class that are powering big world powers…
RECURRENT EXPENDITURE: All the three tiers of governance should as a matter of urgency cut down on recurrent expenditure that is taking over 80% of the fund of the country. Looting of public funds and treasuries should also stop as this further exacerbates the situation.
AUSTERITY MEASURES: All the Tiers of Government are advised to immediately declare austerity measures and cut down on spending and spend prudently. There must be no wastage any more.
THE SENATE & LEGISLATURES CONSUMPTION OF 30% OF THE GNP TO MAKE LAWS:
Malam Sanusi Lamidi made a public out cry that if the country does not cut down the allowances and overhead of the third arm of government of National Assembly; Nigeria runs the risk of becoming bankrupt in 10 year. And it has begun just a few months after he cautioned all of us… Malam Sanusi Lamido is rightly guided…may God continue to bless him…. In Ghana, Liberia etc and most West African countries MPs have voluntarily slashed down the cost of overhead on those Nations so that money can be made available for other more pressing needs; and indeed urgent needs of other parts of the economy, but in our own case the MPs are increasing their take home and as time goes on the predictions of Malam Sanusi Lamido will come to pass …it has come to pass on the State level…we pray earnestly that it will not manifest on Federal Level….
We wish the sovereignty of Nigeria the best of all three be now and for ever…
LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
