Why Is The Osun State Govt Wasting Millions On Billboards? by bilms(m): 3:41pm On Mar 03, 2013
WHY IS OSUN STATE WASTING MILLIONS ON BILL BOARDS. I have been to over 20 states in Nigeria and i am certain that none of the over 20 states i have visited contain so much bill boards of the govt as osun state. If you past through Kwara to Osogbo, the osun state capital, you would notice meaningless and uncountable bill boards every where with all sort of nonsensical writing. One bill board cost close to 1million, yet we have close to 100 on that road. Why is the govt wasting so much money on this useless thing in the name of advert? If the govt is indeed performing, his achievement would speak for itself. These bill boards to me speaks about the unseriouseness of the present govt. I therefore urge the governor to channel the resources and his energy into more important ventures.

Firstly, there is nothing called Osun State but THE STATE OF OSUN.

About the billboards, if you dont like them jump inside third mainland bridge or drink acid.

Is‎​ there any State Govt in Nigeria that doesn't have Bill-Boards??

How many Places have you been to in The State of Osun and the Other 19 states you've visited??

How did you arrive at the conclusion that the State of Osun has the highest number of Bill-Boards??

Who told you that it costs close to a Million to erect a Billboard??

What's the budgetary allocation for Bill-Boards in the Budget of the State of Osun??

By your estimate how much do you think the State of Osun has spent on Bill-Boards??

I don't see a case of wastefulness here.

The OP lives in Ilorin and not in the State of Osun..

What I see here is‎​ a Person who after a heavy meal of Amala and Gbegiri (washed down with Alomo) starts claiming that the State of Osun wastes Million on Bill-Boards. Where is‎​ the proof?? The OP should tell us how many billboards he saw in the State of Osun and how much was spent on them, that's the only way to establish a case of wastefulness..

Until then, his post remains a baseless assertion from a tipsy over-fed fellow..

I'm sure if the OP has asked why Goodluck Jonathan or Uduaghan wastes millions on billboard, you would have agreed with him. Right?

You know my point but you don't wanna acknowledge it. Let me give you a clue:

It's the same reason why the same IBB that has been demonized will suddenly become a saint to APC followers if he joined their party.

So the road is not bad, Its the billboard thats bothering you?

I wish people driving on FG roads can ONLY complain about the billboard and not the borehole on the roads

Next time close your eyes while driving so you wont see the billboard

Everyone happy?

I can't see anywhere in his posts where he said the roads were good. His interests just happened to be the billboards. Btw, are those roads not federal roads. If they're good then credit should go to the guy you hate most in Nigeria.

Almost same article I wrote awhile back...https://www.nairaland.com/1160891/what-think-ad-osun-state
So much ad..seems like a waste of money to me. Worst part is he shows no pictures of completed projects @all. I know if this report was based on an eastern governor, these same people would lash out so much insult @ the government and people of the region.

If you have paid attention in the past you would have noticed that Aregbesola was the one renovating the road.

I think its a good time in Nigeria when the billboard are the complaints and not the state of the roads if the roads were terrible he wont be complaining about billboard?

If you get home and see your house on fire, Is it your child sleeping inside that you would be bothered about or your picture frame?


Some of the major road projects include the dualisation of Osogbo-Dagbolu International Market-Ikirun junction, Osogbo (Old Garage)-Ikirun road and Ikirun-Ila Odo-Kwara Boundary, costing N17.8 billion; as well as rehabilitation and construction of six selected roads (Igbajo-Okerun-Iresi, Gbongan-Odeyinka-Orile Owu-Ajegunle, Gbongan-Osogbo-Ife-Ibadan Express junction, Ijebu jesa-Iloko-Iwaraja, Ijebu jesa-Ijeda-Iloko-Ilesa and Ijeda jesa-Erinmo) costing N17.5 billion

What is the insult on this post all about?. Is wasting the state resources on useless billboards what some people are still defending here? No be small thing o. Is wasting over 100million on bill boards when the states graduates are still cutting grasses earning between 7 to 12k as salary under oyes good ? Think am now. Let us all point the govt right for the Nigeria of our dream. No party or candidate affiliation should be used as measure, hold all party accountable and be consistent in your ideology. It shall be well with Nigeria
