we said well, we are not for that

They are thieves, I am not

we couldn't say it out because when you now say such things out, it brings that office into disrepute.

We are not thieves like them;

Our people are no fools, they know who is a thief and they know who have come to serve them."

how could people be this callous?

They didn't even fear God.

We are not brought up like that,

we are no thieves

we will not steal Ogun State money.

We are not thieves like them

We are not like them and am sure our people know who is a thief and who has come to serve them.

,so Amosun should shut his mouth and get to work,the only reason why he might perform slghtly better than Daniel is because he won't have OBJ on his trail.

And I challenge Amosun to swear if he hasn't stolen or inflated contract sums since he assumed office in June!

During a thanksgiving service in a church in Abeokuta shortly after he was sworn in, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is the Board of Trustee (B.O.T) chairman of the PDP made a surprise appearance at the church, felicitating with Amosun and after the church service, Amosun drove straight to Obasanjo's residence where the duo had a secret meeting.

It bothers me that Nigerians make noise with no action.
We know where Gbenga Daniel lives, we know the location to a couple of his houses, and yet nothing productive is done to make sure that this lowlife thief doesn't get a peace of mind for the rest of his miserable life,  So, what are we all waiting for?
If 5000 Ogun State youth team up and go pay Gbenga Daniel a visit, I can assure you that others will slow down with stealing our money.

Nobody can stop 5000 youth that are protesting to get their money back.
Gbenga Daniel shouldn't be allowed to see a peace of mind. Youth of this nation must wake up and do something incredible for a change.
Make life difficult for corrupt leaders.

Attack their properties, attack their businesses, attack their families, attack them head on.
Egyptians are not better or stronger than Nigerians; Nigerians, wake up and go get what belongs to you.
Make these suckers pay!

I honestly don't give a damn about OGD any more. My question is, is Amosun the man who can start Ogun State on the path towards achieving its potential?

I am starting to think that the answer to this question is no.

Ogun Partners BoI on Industrialisation

25 Nov 2011




By Goddy Egene

The Ogun State Government is partnering the Bank of Industry (BoI) in  the government’s efforts to industrialise the state.   

The State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, who disclosed this in speech at a Town Hall meeting with stakeholders on the state’s 2012 Budget last Tuesday, said  two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) had already been signed in that regard.

According to him, first MoU is  to give micro, small and medium scale industries in the state the needed finance to boost their businesses while  the  second MoU is to accelerate the industrial process in the state through the provision of industrial parks in the three senatorial districts.

Amosun noted that facilities provided in those parks would give relief to industrialists in and outside the state as they would operate within these enclaves at reduced cost. He disclosed that the state government was contributing N500 million to the BoI as its counterpart funding for the commitment.

He said, “let me assure you that the contents of the two memoranda will be implemented because despite the tight financial situation of the state, the  government is contributing a sum of N500million to BoI, being its counterpart fund for this N1billion commitment. But, l must also say, this is a seed we are happy to sow.

It is expected to bring with it a bountiful harvest of industrialization, employment generation, poverty alleviation, rural and urban renewal in our State. This is not without recognition of the expected bountiful harvest from our participation in various international business meetings.”

He said  the state planned to  hire 10,000 workers under its employment generation scheme, adding that  3,665 appointment letters  had already been released.

The governor noted that things had started looking up for the state as its internally generated revenue had started picking up due to its new tax initiative.

He assured that his administration would never initiate a policy or programme that would make life difficult for them.

“What we have done is to re-activate and implement an existing tax law, the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA).  What I believe should be more important is that we put in place a machinery to ensure that taxes collected from us are utilised to provide amenities that make life easy for all of us,” he said.
