Well done OGD! Generations would remember you as the yeye leader who bought Ogun to its knees. Oloshi lasa-lasan Amosun, you are borrowing to pay salaries now, yet bringing in more overheads and offering free education? What is the plan? We are not dunces o. Even the UK is having to cut here and there to reduce deficit but you seem to wan to raise the deficit. While you're resting on your oars, IMO state governor is meeting with Fashola to discuss partnership and you are attending yeye meetings in Abuja. You better head down Lagos and discuss how you can jointly build roads to interlink Lagos to Ogun so that you can benefit from investments and attract the Lagos populace to buy and build homes in Ogun while providing good road network to facilitate easy commute from Lag to Ogun.

I wonder why he contested in the first place, Is he shouting because of the people or because of himself 1 Like |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by oderemo(m): 2:51pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
i am beginning to wonder weda these so called messiah , amosun, aregbesola, ajimobi, were all prepare to push thru the req, developments ppl are yearning for, or is it going to be all promises without concrete plans on the ground. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by violent(m): 2:56pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
^^ It's somewhat obvious that majority of them don't have a sound blueprint on development! They seem to be only interested in providing free goodies without knowing how to generate revenue or attract investors! Amosun ought to know that for any business/organization to grow, it's revenue power ought to surpass it's cost of running, not the other way round. When a state is already overburdened with deficits, thanks to mismanagement of the acccursed ex-governor, the wise thing a subsequent governor ought to do on resuming office is to seek out for new ways to generate revenues, not offer services free of charge! Amosun should be looking at selling assets that are being under utilized and if within his power, privatize certain fractions of his government. He should also be looking for new means of attracting the interests of new investors to the state, like working in hand with the CBN to provide capital for would be investors! |

Well done OGD! Generations would remember you as the yeye leader who bought Ogun to its knees. Oloshi lasa-lasan Good points thus. But why are the banks that are already broke themselves and probably on a life support machine still borrowing the states money. Common sense would suffice that you get rid of some of the workers in other to pay the other stranded workers or better still you apprenhend the culprit or thief that stole the peoples money. All Nigeria need to do to Daniel is ask for his extradition. If his brought back to Nigeria, his houses, holdings and any other intrest world-wide should be confisticated and sold off, I am sure after such an exercise the State's balance sheet would look good and healthy. We need to deal with issues firmly rather than going on an un-neccessary merry go round. |

Amosun is broke |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by delicious1(m): 6:05pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
Is there any state that wasn't left for broke. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Sunofgod(m): 6:14pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
All these 'Broke States' I wonder what will be the first state to default on their loans? That's the point where we will see total anarchy. The moment the state can no longer pay its workers. And why would any 'Bank' loan money to a 'Broke state' with little or no prospects of revenue generation? Like Rochas he better go see Fashola to find out how 'Bonds' work. Then like Fashola he can delay the downfall of his state for just a little longer until the bonds mature. I fear for the future of Nigeria. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Xfactoria: 6:18pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
That is what they all say so that when they perform below expectation, they will be excused. I don't know what the fuss about Ogun State financial situation is. OGD already said the State needed to raise bonds as lifeline even though we know he was going to embezzle part of the proceeds. It was a fact that the state needed to do something about its financial status. Amosun should get down to work or be ready to be kicked out. We elected him to fix the state and and not to complain about obvious challenges! |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by delicious1(m): 6:25pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
Is there any state that isn't broke and or indebted? Majority of the states can't generate their own internal revenues -they wait for the crumbs the Government throws their way. Pity. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Genius100: 8:02pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
So you can't pay existing salaries, yet you will create 10,000 jobs in the first 100 days. It better be the private sector creating those jobs, |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by gbolah1(m): 8:37pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
Mr Governor,I heard that you said ogun state is broke n you are planning to generate 10,000 job withing ur ist 100days. I will advice you to concentrate on how to audit the account of the state first and bring the lost glory of the state finance back before you start thinking of adding more problem to ur neck. How will you make payment for the new 10,000 staff if you are already borrowing money to pay for the existing one. Kindly think deep before you proceed on your plan. a word is enough for a wise man. You av name to protect, learn from your predecessor,Dont just go on a project just because you promise people while campaigning, is better for things to be delayed than doing it hurriedly and regret it later |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Afam4eva(m): 8:44pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
E be like say Rochas and Amosun dey read the same script. Rochas Okorocha declared free education, Amosun did the same. Rochas declared Imo state broke and Amosun followed suit. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by emiye(m): 10:00pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
This other south western Governors should be very careful trying to "copy" Lagos state. They are no mates , the Governors need to develop "unique" development agenda, likewise followers in these states should lessen expectations at least in the first year of govt, that is the " bitter truth" |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by oderemo(m): 10:29pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
@ violent, i hear you. the point amosun need to be aware of are that asset must equal/surpass liabilities or else trouble in the house. y borrow to pay wages/salaries, how long to audit the state acct, don't see any reason to appoint unnecessary comm. post/p.a if state is broke. cut down on useless and unnecessary payments to council of chiefs, obas, and advisers. in fact whats the point of free education in a broke state? the governor should hit the ground running and not moaning. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Kobojunkie: 11:47pm On Jun 13, 2011 |
Ogun State is broke yet you promised Free Education to all, your first week in office? When do we expect you to deliver on this then? 4 years time? ROFLMAO~ Desola: na wa oo!!! |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Siga: 3:44am On Jun 14, 2011 |
The guy is a big fool, you came in to office , the very first week in office, u declare free education before even checking out the states finances, i doubt if these guys have any sense at all, all they do is say wat people want to hear, idiot, All bunch of liars and thieves, fire burn all of u, |

PDP, ACN, What is the difference? Human beings will be human beings, Nigeria doesnt need a savior in the form of a party, we need a savior in the form of capable individuals, |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Mynd44: 6:56am On Jun 14, 2011 |
He better join ROCHAS in LAGOS for som GOVERNORSHIP LECTURES |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Abagworo(m): 8:12am On Jun 14, 2011 |
It is no news that all the States in Nigeria are broke and owing billions.Ogun is therefore no exception.What we should be concerned with is what our money was spent on.Lagos owing billions is justifiable but not Ogun,Imo and others. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by aribisala0(m): 8:36am On Jun 14, 2011 |
he can start by trimming the workforce |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by otokx(m): 9:40am On Jun 14, 2011 |
I propose that broke states be merged with states that are financially stable; in this case Ogun should be merged with Lagos but all them Amosun and co should be sent packing. llikewise Imo can be merged down to Rivers and Rochas sent packing. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by Reference(m): 9:50am On Jun 14, 2011 |
violent: I don't know why people like you are not in elected positions. For goodness sake when you have won an election politics is over. You cast the agbada, broom and that funny cap and dorn a three piece suit. Leave politics for economics. People did not vote him to talk but to walk. What right thinking economist will be borrowing for recurrent expenditure for goodness sake. He should strike when the iron is hot and capitalise on his party's hot popularity making swift changes like is happening in Imo. The States' finances are in a mess for exactly this reason he is towing when half of your income goes to servicing debts. Cut costs, cut, cut, cut. Half of those he's paying probably don't go to the offices they claim, a good proportion are certainly ghost workers. He should immediately call all workers under forty and redeploy them to critical sectors of development namely infrastructure provision. Let them take over all the failed road, drainage, power, water projects that have been mismanaged and abandoned and tail off all sundry public works contracts - another area of monumental waste. Like you said immediately privatize all government holdings in business ventures. And all this job creation noise he's making, if it is not private-sector investment led and infrastructure targeted then let him get set to take an IMF loan to pay them. Haba if they sack you from work, you no go sack your houseboy and driver quick quick. You go still dey do big man. May be I misunderstand what being broke is. |
Re: Ogun State Is Broke - Governor Amosun by ChefMike(m): 10:11am On Jun 14, 2011 |
Ogun state should not be broke.Is too early to come out with such statement. |

OGD borrowed N100Billion at the twilight of his administration!!!! The current governor will have to pay the debt and its accruing interests, He should please fix the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta Road as a matter of urgency to reduce the stress being faced by the electorates, |
