What Is The Problem With Nigeria, Is It The Fg, State Government,or Lga by raldsfield(m): 12:32pm On May 17, 2006
What is the problem with Nigeria, you ask me again.
In terms of rating I think that the federal government has done well. I will give them 30% this is because they have been able to duly allocate funds to everyother level of governments, the federal roads are not in a very bad shape except for some few eastern and western states road on your was to the east. I see then as a group of people trying hard to make an impression, ofcourse it is my opinion.

The state has not been living up to expectation, they have been busy fighting godfathers and stealing the money met to use to develop there state. i have not travelled too much but apart from Lagos,Cross Rivers, I don't think any other State Governor, has contributed much to the Development of Nigeria as a whole. I will rate them in total 10% which I think is a give away.

The local government, does it exist. Their is nothing to say about them, they have contributed nothing to the development of this nation. I think this is where most of our problems lies. This institution was set up to be the closest to the people and contribute development at grass root level, developments that will affect the people directly. Because they have failed in their function the government as a whole becomes ineffective in contributing to the every people it is suppose to govern. I will rate them 0% which is fair.

In general their will be no visible development in Nigeria if the Local Government Chairmen and the State Governors refuse to contribute in activities that will benefit Nigeria and Nigerians as a whole.

I think Nigeria needs multiple independent organizations that rate various branches and levels of government. Right now, it is like everyone automatically assumes that the government is corrupt, which makes it less appealing for well-intentioned people to actually try and make a difference. If there was an organization that would condemn and give recognition to different governments, it would help ensure that the people that do a good job get recognized.

Edit: This is particular important for the local government because the vast majority of people have no idea what projects are reserved for the LG and what projects are carried out by the State government.
