This report brings you insights into the dreary world of workers and business owners and how they are chaffing under the cruel economic conditions, as revealed by recent investigations conducted by The Sun Newspaper in Osun.

“It has really been tough. It has come to a stage where we can no longer feed our families, let alone pay our rents. There is a rumour that people, especially the pensioners, have been dying as there is no money for them to survive. I can no longer do the little PP (private practice) that I have been doing to survive the hard times because people don’t have money for patronage, except when they are at the point of death and there are no such cases now and we don’t pray for that.” - Dr. Daramola Olusegun, Vice President of Resident Doctors Association, LAUTECH.
“Recently, I ordered that those who have not paid their school fees should not be allowed into the school premises and classrooms any more. The following day, my school was empty because only a few have been able to pay. Since I don’t want my school to close down, I started begging the parents to bring their children back to school pending when they will pay.” – Private School Owner.
Dr. Oshola Ahmed said it was lamentable that a high profile professional like him would now depend on his parents and friends for survival. “I can’t even pay my children’s school fees anymore. It is that terrible,” he said.
“People are not buying papers like before because there is no money. What they do mostly now is to come to the newsstands to glance through the headlines.” - Bayo Olaniyi, Newspaper Vendor.
“Some of us can no longer pay our rents. It has become so bad that some of us can no longer buy diapers for our babies. We can no longer cater for our aged parents. Instead, we are even depending on them for survival now.” - Dr. Femi, Department of Surgery.
“People don’t have money to feed their families at home. So, there is no way they can take them out at a time like this. To be frank, it’s no longer business as usual.” - Dupe Ajayi , Manager of an Eatery in Osogbo.
“As I speak with you, I have not yet taken my breakfast and this is already noon and it is not as if I have lost my appetite. But it is because I don’t have anything to eat. So, I have to go on 0-1-0. For long, I have been on 0-0-1 and sometimes I go on 1-0-1 meal every day since I can no longer afford three square meals.” - Dr. Owolabi Adeyinka, General Secretary of Resident Doctors Association LAUTECH.
“People are no longer buying recharge cards like before because there is no money. I used to make close to N7,200 gain on a daily basis before, but now, I make only N300 - Bimpe Omole, Recharge Card seller.
Taiwo Olojo, a motor mechanic, said his regular customers who used to service their vehicles have not been forthcoming. According to him, some of them have resorted to the use of commercial vehicles. “Last week, I was so broke that I had to call on one of my customers to come and service his car so that I could raise some money, but he said that though his car was actually due for service, he didn’t have money to do that now,” he said.
Some private school proprietors and proprietresses who also spoke to Daily Sun on condition of anonymity lamented that most parents owed school fees so much so that they, too, were beginning to find it difficult to pay the salaries of their teaching and non-teaching staff members.
Also, foodstuff sellers in Osogbo lamented that most of their perishable goods such as tomatoes, pepper, okra, mangoes, water melons, cucumbers and carrots in the local markets now rot and waste away due to poor patronage.

Aregberascal is busy taking selfie with Oduduwa drum

What is aregbe doing with osun money

I'm sure this is the change APC is talking about.
Packaging and repackaging if lies, evil and tribalism .
Now SYVAL TIMI has been repackage to a saint.
Same as YAKO, OBJ and Ameachi

Soo sad. Why did they vote for this governor in the first place. The federal government might need to intervene.

His Commissioner for Finance finished his government.

“As I speak with you, I have not yet taken my breakfast and this is already noon and it is not as if I have lost my appetite. But it is because I don’t have anything to eat.

A classic caption of the parlous state of Osun!
A sad commentary of a governor who failed to set his priority right!

A sad story of the ineptitude of a sophisticated he-goat, AregbeRascal!

Der hav d world's longest talking drum, so no cause 4 control, everytin is under alarm.

#300 only? Haba! Bimpe Omole, why nau?

I cann't regret my vote for aregbe bcs of his good work soon everything will change

nxt term my vote is APC

State of Osun is presently grounded economically. I'm a civil servant in the state. I have only received 57% of my November salary, not even 100%. The remaining salaries remain unpaid. For how long will this continue?

The moderators should please move this thread to the front page. The whole world needs to see this.

I'm pained by the groaning of my kinsmen. We warned everyone in the last gubernatorial election, particularly the artisans, to vote out this ogboni of a man & let him go to jail for looting our state so dry. His juju & propaganda prevailed over their reasoning. To worsen the matter, the house of assembly are just another arm of his executive government.
Osun, se looto la go ni?, because I can't think of any other oduduwa state tolerating this occultic & heartless bastard.

You now see why some people are scared of Nigeria's division. Why they shout one Nigeria to roof top. Only a reduction in ND oil allocation and this is what we have. What will happen when the ND form their own independent country and no more crude oil funds available to the rest of the country?

Can't the myopic ones see the truth. ND oil money allocations mask bad leaders, it makes it easy for them to get away with poor leadership, every Tom dick and Harry can aspire to lead a state in Nigeria, he knows he doesn't have to crack his brains seeking for means to raise funds, he simply seats idle in his office waiting for monthly oil money allocation from the FG. His only Job is to distribute the money to the civil servants and loot the rest with his cronies.


Take away crude oil, you expose the incompetent leaders, only the competent ones who are capable of thinking outside the box, can be able to look for alternative means of raising funds, and by so doing, bring about the diversification of the economy.

Crude oil allocation to Nigeria non oil producing states is like Drug of dependence, Osun is addicted to this Drug, and is now suffering from withdrawal effect because of lack of sufficient crude oil allocation, she is not alone, many Nigerian states are affected too.

National assembly should pass a bill mandating all state governors not to owe more than a month salary. This may prevent future occurrence.

Una never start

Eat your CHANGE now if it will help

E ti ri nkakan

Ironu dori agba kodo. Hmmmm, nkan mbe.(Somebody shd pls interpret for me)

Aregbe thinks his radical approach is cool. He was busy taking mission schools in a bid to pursue his fanatical beliefs.

Osun? Una never see anything. People that entered a one chance bus 4yrs ago and had the chance to drop at the bus stop few months ago but refused? By the time that crook of a governor gets them to the park, they will always run from any place they see a broom.

how much will they sell osun state?

Seems like we wil open a bid for other states to bid on and take over osun since they cant pay salary's without oil money

Didn't They say Osun IGR is bigger than that of Anambra,Imo and Abia put together? Wey the owo kudi ego?

pazienza:

that's why they hate the word Biafra

Last time i checked, it was 18 states that is unable to pay salaries though some are more than others but, i think it will be okay if we can have funny economic situation of other states as well, either funny or not.

Politics and tribalism aside this is wickedness. Can't Aregbesola combine two months allocation to pay for one month? This people 're really suffering. I don't believe allocations receive since December cannot pay for at least 3 months wages.If he knows he has no idea to reverse the situation, he better resign

Aregbesola,you no try o!

He mortgaged his state through borrowing excessively, the bond they raised was bought by Anambra when Peter Obi was governor

Of what use is CHANGE to the HUNGRY? Of what significance is change to the famished? This is pure wickedness!

Enjoy your change!
