Bayelsa with 9 local government on a wage bill of 4 billion? hmmmm then Kano should be on a 20billion wage bill..

Borrowing Money from banks to pay workers in a small oil state like Bayelsa that still receives 13% oil derivation..

NYBEN

Then why did u go for re-election!

Where is Ben Bruce when you need him Instead of fighting federal government over Nasco biscuit, he should make his common sense available to his home state.

I will like to see what PDP wailers will say about this. Aregbesola was almost crucified for this same problem in Osun, let's see the excuse they will come up with for an oil rich state like Bayelsa with just only nine LGA and the smallest population in the country.

really?

Too many ghost workers in bayelsa state

APCHaram:
Bayelsa is a civil servant state with majority of employed people working in one sort of capacity under the state govt.


Most importantly , Bayelsa adopts federal wage scale unlike beggars in osun.

The drop in oil prices will hit hard on Bayelsa since there is hardly any industry outside oil to sustain the govt.


Bayelsa even at now is still better than osun which can't even pay half of the low sate wage which isn't up to minimum wage .

I can only laugh at you for spewing this thrash. A very small oil rich state is borrowing to pay salaries and you are here defending this nonsense. Dickson should just have informed the people of Bayelsa that he can no longer borrow to pay their salaries before the election.

Politicians. after election the only promise u.get from dem na like dis ,the fire when devil go take make their own hell ehmmm dem still dey gather the automated gas to power am

PDP IS APC, APC IS PDP[/quote] Bros you make sense!!

That one no concern you.

Una wey no get anything in osun have a higher debt than bayelsa


At the end of the day, Bayelsa civil servants take home federal rates while Aregbe can't even pay half of the slave rate he is paying osun workers

And also at the end of the dat, Aregbe has only 55million naira left .


Dickson did not say the state was broke but that the harsh economic realities emanating from shortfall of oil price will seriously affect his state ability from paying by sourcing from bank loans.


[size=28pt]He is not borrowing anymore unlike your governor who said he can't pay because banks refused to loan him.[/size]

So Bayelsa is on 4b with 8 lg while osun with 30 lg is on 2.3b.Who is deceiving who?PDP= scam.

After election...he try

Beyelsa is too strategically located and blessed for this kind of talk. You don't have to borrow to pay salaries, you can generate enough money to fund your budget if you put your brain to good use.

Bayelsa has no business borrowing to pay salaries if not for mismanagement. Elected government officials live like kings and throw money at every passerby and expect poorly paid civil servants to bear the brunt. Meanwhile the state is not doing enough to curb pipeline vandalism and sabotage of infrastructures of oil companies.

OZAOEKPE:
WHY YOU NO TELL US BEFORE ELECTION (DURING CAMPAIGN) NA NOW YOU COME THEY OPEN MOUTH




PDP IS APC, APC IS PDP

Ozaekpe!! Better ishan weed at work. Lol!

Wasn't it the same state that spent over N33 billion to build "the most lavish government house in Africa" or some convoluted BS like that?

bayelsa paying 4 billion every month for salaries, I don't believe DAT......... efcc pls be at alert

APCHaram:
Bayelsa is a civil servant state with majority of employed people working in one sort of capacity under the state govt.


Most importantly , Bayelsa adopts federal wage scale unlike beggars in osun.

The drop in oil prices will hit hard on Bayelsa since there is hardly any industry outside oil to sustain the govt.


Bayelsa even at now is still better than osun which can't even pay half of the low sate wage which isn't up to minimum wage .

You will always have a defense for PDP's ineptitude but attack for Osun remains constant. Osun state will surprise you one day, continu.

Every civil servant in bayelsa is a politician. What's country man talking about. Is he saying he doesn't know how the money is spent. Countryman knows where the money goes he should not bore us with this. The only way out is for him to live by example. The other day I saw countryman in phc at wike's thxgivin service, his convoy alone is enough to pay the salaries of 3schools in his state.

osun state has the second largest tier of civil servants after lagos.


Monthly allocation of osun state before drop in oil price is 4billion naira, lowest in nigeria. Now the allocation has been reduced to below 2billion naira, hence the govt resulted to paying half salaries to workers frm grade 8 upward while below it receive full salaries.


Mr man, receive some sense!

My brother, I tire o!

Osun state is not even an oil state but bayelsa state richly blessed with oil Smh

That is why I keep telling people that our politicians are the same. All they know is to siphon funds for their personal gains.

Honestly for a state like bayelsa to be spending 4 billion naira on workforce monthly. Something is wrong. I will advice FG to start auditing each states workforce to clear off hoodlums and ghost workers.

This guy when distribute money to him immediate families, people when vote am in na hin I dey pity,them go see say bribe no dey belliful person for a lifetime

Kano's number is inflated.

See life of politican....election as gone story don start

Oil producing states should not be allowed to suffer like the non oil producing ones

amaechi1:
Mr common sense please, proffer common sense on how to deal with the issue. In addition to what you will say, always remember to tell the Gov to cut the cost of his legislators and his aides. Mr common sense, please don't forget to tell your colleague in the Senate that their Jumbo pay is no more sustainable. Halve their salaries can put a lot of Nigerians to work.

Just making common sense.

Mr common sense only tweets about Buhari. He is a twit

This is what happens when a country is not self sufficient. Everyone wants to be a graduate and get paid. Nigeria will collapse at some point.

your argument is entirely baseless and you know it. Anambra state with more than twice the population of Bayelsa State and with a budget of less than N150bn as against Bayelsa's over N300bn pays its civil servants good wages and is not complaining.

Cross River state pays its civil servants on time without hassles and on a much smaller budget.

I'm really surprised that you are even trying to justify this financial recklessness. As long as we can't look beyond ethnic sentiments and APC, PDP sentiments we're never going to develop as a nation.

Scam...
