the treatment of local governments by
0:54
some state governments
0:56
I found it necessary to digress after
0:58
reading my speech in this digression is
1:00
as a result of my personal experience
1:03
what they did this is my personal
1:05
experience if the money from the
1:07
Federation account to the state is about
1:08
100 million naira 50 million naira will
1:11
be sent to the chairman but he will sign
1:13
that he received 100 million naira the
1:16
governor will pocket the balance and
1:18
share it with whoever he wants to share
1:19
it with
1:20
and then the chairman of the local
1:22
government must see how much he must pay
1:23
in salaries and to hell with development
1:25
when he pays the salaries of the big men
1:28
the balance he will put in his pocket
1:31
this is what's happening this is Nigeria
