Seriously! But this osun state governor is totaly strange compared to other politicians in 9ja. Although he's a strong muslim, he makes life meaninful for everyone in d state. If you visit osun during the christmas period u'll understand better. Christmas was celebrated as if everyone in the state was a christain, of which muslims are likely to be more than christains. And his government is providing free inter-state transport for easter! How sweet wuld it have been, if we Nigerians can learn to love ourselves without tribal war, religious crises and the rest.

Well done Servant Gov. Shame on those people that calls you muslim fanatic just because you refuse to attend redemption camp like other south west muslim Govs viz fashola,ajimobi and amosun. Being tolerant is not all about kneeing down in front of Oyedepo alias Slapper in Chief and Daddy G.O. on the express way. Its all about sharing love and celebrating the festivities together...Aregbe......Thank you for shutting their Mouths

Nothing is free. Where is the money coming from? What part of the budget?

All of these awoof sort of gestures..

There's nothing like Awoof gestures. Alleviations during festive periods is nothing new, they do it everywhere, BRT is free in Lagos every year during the same period and even cities like LA in Californian give out free holiday rides.

It's giving your own people a break during holiday periods and they do have discretionary funds to take care of people oriented gestures of this nature....
Re: Osun Provides Free Lagos-osogbo Train Services For Easter by ektbear: 1:43am On Apr 06, 2012
Free bus ride for X days per year is financially feasible. It effectively means the other 365-X days cost slightly more than they should. At least in that case it is clear where the money comes from..slightly higher fees.

However, in the case of trains, it is not as clear where the money is coming from.

Also, train transportation is probably at least an order of magnitude more expensive than intracity bus rides.

I doubt the US or my state government could afford to give me a free train ride.

So just wondering where the money is coming from from Lagos to Osogbo (not a small distance and thus presumably not cheap..)
Re: Osun Provides Free Lagos-osogbo Train Services For Easter by ektbear: 1:44am On Apr 06, 2012
People oriented gestures are nice. But you always have to ask, who is paying for this? Where is the money coming from?
