He actually commissioned more projects than Lagos state and the rest of Nigeria within the last 2 years. He's performing better than Lagos state and even sef, while Lagos is struggling to build an ordinary airport, Osun state will get probably the best airport in Nigeria in less than 1 year.

Nna, keep quiet. your argument was baseless since no such assertion was made so exactly what was the meaning of your tantrums?

I know you losers are pained because Aregbe is showing us how worthless your lazy and incompetent village governors, but that doesn't mean you should not curb your hatred and bitterness.

See how a simple comment has brought out the worse in you instead of the best! You are just like your response!

look at you...you can't read between lines? el nino

OasisT:


You Amy hate aregbe for all I care but when your brother Serubawon was there what did he do ? Aregbe might be have disappointed a lot of people but you can't compare him with the predecessors and even Fayose your hero .
To me the best that has ever happened to the state is Aregbe . The cost is moderate and the school is scattered all over the state . As you know even though you are hiding it , most of the towns hosting the schools apart from few are small communities .

There is nothing bad in Aregbe seeking for investors to complete the airport nor involving people to join the state to develop the state including the cocoa processing company in your domain .

Honestly I don't know how Nigerians reason, especially our youth. The purpose of education is to develop your reasoning capacity but unfortunately when I see the way the so called educated young people reason I don't think this country has a future.

This is a governor that has plucked his state into heavy indebtedness. A state with monthly IGR of N1.37b and has about N147b debt profile. Even if all the monthly allocation is used to pay off the debt, it would take the more than 15yrs to pay back.

This man has used the allocations of 4 governors and people are praising him?

I hope and pray we wouldn't wake up one day and see Osun State for sale on OLX or on EBay for auction.

moscobabs:
has aregbesola done test for the teachers before he employed them to that school?

PVision2020:

Baba, oto oro ko ni ka ma so o un. Ti Omo ba se daada in some aspect, give him kudos for it. You may have a different political affiliation to his...of course I'm also slightly bias towards Omisore (I schooled in IFE and I stayed among his supporters and families for up to 4years).
Mind you I'm very passive towards politics and I have never voted before.
But the thing you should ask yourself is that:
1. Is Aregbe the only Governor owing workers in Nigeria?
2.Is Osun state the only indebted state in Nigeria?
3.which state can boast of Osun's infrastructural development in the whole of Nigeria relative to their income (debt included)?
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man becomes king.
Aregbe too should focus more on human development and not only infrastructural development

I however love the fact that we scrutinise, criticise and hold our leaders accountable here In the west. Unlike some other places.

Sir,pls try to do ur research very well.The most developed country in the world right now has the highest debt profile, pls don't let us go outside. Av u ever checked the debt profile of Lagos state?? Debt is never a disease or a cancer to the system as far as the first party has already set the path of recovery nd that is wat Aregbe is doing now.Investing for the betterment nd future of osun state.What about other States that has collected bail out funds 3× without any single infrastructure nd workers salary is still on hold??

aribisala0:

I have no political affiliation.

This thread is sponsored in my opinion and that won't change. It is unwarranted and would be for ANY GOVERNOR

You ask which state can boast of Osun's infrastructure relative to income? Has any one gone round the 36 states to measure that? Has anyone done any VALUE FOR MONEY comparison across states?

The truth is such data simply does not exist. So any one saying such stuff is either not well educated or a paid propagandist.



So I can only conclude this is just paid propaganda

Ofemannnu:
He really tried.If he had gotten real capital,I bet....Lagos will envy OSUN STATE.An elderly man took me there last year and he was all praise for AREGBESOLA.The only snag is capital.Sometimes,I compare Osun state with America,BIG DEBT and LARGEST PROJECTS.They are twins.

i don't like arguing because I believe everyone is entitled to his / her opinion. However, I will like to correct some of your point.

1. In 1999 when Obasanjo became the President, he said one major challenge confronting his administration was servicing debt with about $6b annually. This was loan incurred by past administrations. He said no Country can survive under that huge debt. I don't have any issue if any government - Federal, State, or LG borrow money. But the clause is, that loan must be paid fully before leaving the office. Failure to pay back before leaving the office should attract jail sentence and all his properties and assets seized by the government. Believe me if this clause is there, our debt profile would reduced drastically. Most of the money borrowed often end up in their private bank account both locally and abroad. If you look at the proposed 2018 budget, over N2tr would be used to service debt. The question I want you to answer, did the project that money was used for yield that N2tr?

2. I keep saying it and I will say it again and again, LAGOS IS A TIME BOMB! How do you justify a state that's the richest state in Nigeria and the most indebted state in Nigeria. That's is why I never praised Fashola's government. A state that has a monthly IGR of over N30b - over N360b annually. In Fashola's 8yrs, Lagos earned about N3trn. The same state also has over $1b debt. The question is, what did they do with all the money? Of course, they built a personal blog for N78m.

3. You mentioned advanced country. Yes, this countries, in most cases borrow money to equip their military Base. Some of the equipment are later sold to developing countries for profits. No advanced country would borrow money to construct Road or build school or hospital. They only borrow to 1. Defend and protect their country. 2. For investment purposes.

4. Buhari's government borrowed about N2trn in 2015 and when asked the finance minister what the money was used for, she said "I think". She couldn't tell us specifically what N2trn was used for.

5. I hope when all these loans are matured for repayment, those project would have yielded the money back. Otherwise, we may see our country or state for sale on OLX.

PVision2020:

I tell you, how he does that compare to the meagre Osun income amazes me.

Supercoo:


Aregbesola CANNOT and will never be compared to Fashola and Ambode. Just because he commissioned a school, you are praising him.
Osun people will never forget him for his prodigal nature and inconsiderate treatment of Osuns.
Aregbesola my foot!

mapet:


I think the bolded part is actually applicable to you and not anybody else. If you struggle to rationalise the nexus between debt to finance infrastructural development and a future economic viability of a state, then you are the one that needs to seek knowledge. The last time we checked Osun state though heavily indebted, is not one of the states classified as not generating enough to keep it afloat

HzRF:


Don't be fooled
Those schools weren't build by him

It's a private partnership

Public schools are now paying for it although lesser than private schools

My friend's sis is attending Ataoja High school

He's commissioning these to boost his battered image

The airport op fuming about is a fraud


I live @ owode ede not far infact I need N50 bike to get to where the airport is located


He cleared the land and refuse to touch it for over 2yrs


Suddenly he woke up one morning and said somebody is ready to build the airport at 69 billion naira, will then manage it for 20yrs and transfer it to the state

He's has started paying "leave bonus" he has refused to pay for over year

Rumors has it he will soon be paying backlog of salaries


He's doing all these cuz of 2018

After his candidate was hammered in the senatorial bye election

soldierboi16:
I think this stupid and gullible aregbe has paid some people to say rubbish here on Nairaland
Come to Osun and see wats going on ursef
U can't just decide the faith of a stupid governor by those gullible pictures
A good Government is a government DAT manages the stomach infrastructure of the masses and provide a good life for them not destroying good roads/schools to build his own structures aimed at embezzling. haba how can u say u constructed a road not up to 1 km for 5 billion (freedom park) when all the money allocated to the state monthly is 2bn
A lot of people who has invested their life's in working for the government are now rotting away many are dead just because of your own agenda of embezzling money.
Have never heard in the history for a government to owe workers for A year and still they go to work. Aregbe do u wish that for UE descendants and the federal government keep sending bailout to ease the state from hunger but his selfish ambitions would not let him think of the hungry masses rather he prefer to build roads worth 500milliin and claim he built it 5billions
well all I know is that God is greater than anybody and is patiently waiting to judge the oppressors and I pray may those ones I've caused havoc to their life's live to see u rot on earth bfre rotting in hell

ibabz:


...error! error! Zombie identified! Zombie identified. It's not difficult to identify a zombie. They don't have brain and they think everyone should reason as such. Please Mr. Economics, can you educate us how and how long would a state with less than N2bn monthly IGR pay up a debt of N170b?

Can you list what those loans where used for? Since you know Osun that much, tell what the money was used for? Maybe we can start analysing each project per cost. Your government can not increase IGR but debt profile and you believe it's justified? I'm sorry for this country.

I'm sure you're not new on this forum.
We've had several thread on this forum lampooning and denigrating the person and government of Aregbesola but nobody (including you) termed those thread "Sponsored", but a thread on his achievement is sponsored right? that's the hallmark of hypocrisy.

As regards aregbes acheivements, The internet is your friend.
pls show me which state has constructed over 1000km of roads ( that's about 10x Lagos Ibadan expressway). #Verifiable

http://opera.pulse.ng/news/local/in-osun-state-govt-says-it-has-constructed-1000km-of-roads-id6515778.html

Pls show us any state embarking on a massive interstate project cutting across three state. Osun-Ogun-Lagos (120km) and Osun-Kwara.
http://osun.gov.ng/infrastructure/roads/boundary-highways/
Which public school in the whole of Nigeria match that of Osun state (Not even schools in Lagos)

The fact is if you don't like someone, nothing that he/she does will ever impress you.
I've my reservations towards him as regard human development but when it comes to infrastructure, haba he tried. te gan ni ehn.
