The Loophole called federal Government

I remember a poem from secondary school titled -Who’ job is it? It goes something like this:
This is the story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Somebody's job.
Everybody thought Somebody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it
It ended that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!
This poem graphically illustrates the dilemma called Nigerian government. Everybody in this instance could stand for the almighty Federal government, which ascribes to itself all the functions within the country; some have termed this a unitary style of government, whereby all the resources and responsibilities lie with the Federal government including, unbelievably - roads within a state !
The Federal government is responsible for Power generation and almost everything you can think of, that affects the everyday lives of ordinary Nigerians.
While this shouldn’t be a problem, if they were indeed doing the job, but what you have is that Nobody(or No one i.e. zero) does what should have being done by Mr Everybody(Federal),which promptly blames Mr Somebody (state).
And who suffers. . . . . . . .the masses. . .

Solution. . . .less and less Federal government,more and more state and local government. This might sound too simplistic,but it is realistic.
