I find no fault in this statement. Very true and agree.

But look up this thread someone posted a picture of an old school and the new one by aregbesola.

By the look of that picture, if I was the governor I wouldn't bother renovating the old structure.

In public sector, what government look at his cost benefit effect of every spending. We are not privy to the basis that informed the decision to build new schools. That been said, I am sure if you search you will find situations where the schools were just renovated.

Cheers

You are better off asking your Biafra village governors what they did with your taxes and allocations instead of killing yourself over Aregbe's beautiful schools...

This new schools is one of the examples of misplaced priorities and projects made for propaganda...

Ejigbo is a suburban at the boundary between Osun and Oyo. Ejigbo has more than 5 secondary schools most of which were built by the Baptists and Adventist.. These schools were built in the 60s with strong buildings which has been left to rot over time. These buildings need minor rehabilitation which as little as 10 million can accomplish.

Which is wiser? Building a brand new school at the cost of over 400 million for 1 or using the same to rehabilitate over 20 schools?

There in lies the foolishness of Aregbe and his schools.. The new schools account for less than 5 percent of all the schools in Osun state. When the money used in building that 5 percent can effectively rehabilitate close to 80 percent of the schools in Osun.

obayaya:


Truly, Maybe there are situations where the schools where renovated.. But I didn't see or hear of any during my service year..

Like someone said earlier in this thread.. These new schools are meant to be "Aregbe's Legacy". That's the only benefit I see.. And that's the truth.

I gave someone the statistics up there.. Osun has 431 secondary schools.. Aregbe has built Just 24 new ones. Let's assume for a minute that a new school equatest to an undisputed improvement in the educational standards, 24/431 is marginal. And the effect is negligible.

ThisMeansWars:
not all old structures can be renovated that's yo meet modern standard ...

By the way, who told you the schools have not been renovated? Do you live in osun? Please bring proof

NewNigeriaMind:



Let's not throw the baby out with the water.

I just read a piece by barcanista on.the TSA and just conveyed the facts about TSA that I think most Nigerians are ignorant of. That is constructive argument.

Except you have the proof that no old school is renovated apart from outright new schools. Then I will say you rushed to condemn the government when you don't have all the facts or you failed to pass your thoughts across correctly.

All the same, I believe democracy strength is the power it gives opposition to provide alternatives ways to doing things apart from method adopted by those in power. Criticism is good but let's try to be constructive as much as possible.

obayaya:


I'm not interested in back and forth arguments with you...

There are 431 public secondary schools in Osun.. So far Aregbe has built 24 new schools, How many years will it take Osun state to build 431 of such schools considering that worsening economic situation.

I do not know the state of Salvation Army before the renovation but I served in Osun and I have seen the state of many of the schools and a rehabilitation will turn those schools to World class.

As for your last line, all I will say is "Grow up"

1. Your bargaining currency in this thread is the fact that according to you, you served in Osun state which arrogated to you vast knowledge about osun state and schools in osun state, but you are still clueless about the same schools you are crying about. Makes no damn sense.


2. According to your argument, the state should renovate the old schools instead of building new ones, my question is, what makes you think they did not consider these options before building new ones.?




3. Look at the picture of the same salvation army school I posted with the old and new school.

Please explain to us the best option in that circumstances. Do you suggest they should have renovated and wasted money on a totally destroyed school on the ground level or just tear down and build a new and bigger school to accommodate more students.

What you are suggesting is what they call penny wise pound foolish..

4. Building new and more accommodating schools with good structures to last a long time makes better sense than patching up worthless and dangerous old structures.

Again , what you are suggesting is what they call penny wise pound foolish..

5. Who are you to dictate to the government of Osun the how and what to do with their schools? Are you smarter than them or know better than them what their needs and long term plans are?


Lastly, you are the second hating and grossly negative ibo in this thread to claim serving in Osun. Do you people swap the same lies just to hide your hate and make you sound more authentic.


Your states combined haven't built a single classroom since 1960 so save your ideas or pass them to your governors back home...

Btw, growing up dictates that you know what you are talking about, but you don't know anything beyond your low grade thoughts and ideas..

arresa:


Exactly what's so mediocre about classrooms for kids to learn and get education? Regardless the looks (Which looks wonderful to me) All kids need is a clean and functional environment to learn and the schools fits the bill.


I ignored the person you quoted with his American school pictures and his thoughtless comparison with American schools.

What many school districts budget to build 1 school alone is more than Osun state's entire yearly budget...

Schools in the US raise hundreds of million dollar bonds to build schools and other major infrastructures with matching funds from their state and federal governments sometimes..

Osun is not in the same situation and environment so still building clean and functional schools for their kids with what they have remains the best option instead of doing nothing..

I don't even know what that poster was suggesting. For Aregbeshola so sit on his hands and do nothing till till they get American type of funds before building schools for their kids?

It's really not by force to criticize blindly...

obayaya:


I believe Salvation Army just like virtually all the schools in Osun was not in one building alone. This building is just one out of the numerous buildings that made up Salvation Army.

The problem with the building this picture you posted is bad windows and roofs. Look at it carefully.. Put a new roof over that building and change the windows, and you have an entirely different building from the one in the picture. To be thorough, you might consider doing some palliative works on the walls and redoing the floorings.. and crown it all with a paint job. And you've got yourself a new building though smaller and less magnificent than the new ones but will be just as effective.

You made a case for a bigger school that can accommodate more pupils.. That makes sense but that's not the case with the new school built in Ada. The bigger structure didn't lead to higher enrollment and higher Number of students. Maybe because the population of Ada isn't that big. But in places like Osogbo that could work. But then Parents will prefer sending their kids to schools close to the house.

I'm not dictating to Osun government. I don't claim to be smarter than they are. I'm only stating what I think is the best approach. Isn't that what democracy is all about?

I could post pictures and details of the school I served in and have you confirm. But will that convince you? I think not.. So you can believe what you want to believe... It changes nothing.

Lastly, marshalling your points out without insults like you just did, did it make you a lesser man?

I'll take the new, well built and structurally fit schools with more classrooms to accommodate more students than the old and structurally unsound old relics you are talking about...

Again, you are not in any position to dictate to the government of Osun what to do when it comes to educating and providing learning infrastructures for their kids. The have the facts, date and long range plans for their education system which you don't have..

The man is doing a great job....PERIOD.

I cannot dictate to the government of Osun




[s]but my question is..

Is his great job effective/efficient?

The score card remains 24/431 schools rebuilt/remodeled

34th on WAEC ranking out of 36 states..

I ask again how effective/efficient has his great job been?

Be the judge

So we should expect quality products from the schools? Nada, Anambra with their manageable school buildings would ALWAYS produce better students
