PointB:

He should do something already. Most governors has blazed the trail already. While Aregbesola is waiting for the rain and now the Chinese. Didn't he planned to be governor? Why is taking so much time to get moving,  and doing? Na wa ooo. This Aregbesola self! If he is incompetent he should resign. I am sure there  better people in his party/state. This sort of slow motion is not good, whether from GEJ/PDP or Rauf/ACN.

Beaf:

Aregbesola only chose his commissioners like a week ago after spending almost a year living in Lagos and junketting to China.
Now he wants to build Chinese roads almost year after taking office. Its like comedy.

The latest from the man is that he claims he wasn't elected to pay workers. I really really pity Osun state; they deserve much better.

Gbawe.:

Please save your pity for folks in your neck of the woods. They need it far more than a people who are happy with their Governor so far. Aregbesola enjoys the 100% backing of his people. That is more than can be said for most Governors . The good folks of Osun don't need you taking painkillers for imaginary pain conjured , on their behalf, in the recesses of your mischief addled brain . Rather, pay more attention to your corner of Nigeria and the many indolent Governors doing nada apart from shoving cocaine up their nose and employing their murder suspect buddies to influential office.

Sharrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrap dia!!

I will comment on any state in Nigeria as I wish, you bigot. Aregbesola is bloody useless, it is shameless people like you that go about propping all sorts of scarecrows with spurious arguments, only to turn up your noses at other governors, because they are not from your state or ethnic group.

When did it become a crime to condemn useless leaders in Nigeria, because I'm not from their state? What a disgraceful and closed-minded position to take, there can be very few things less idiotic than such; maybe it should go in the guiness book of records if theres a section for bigotry.

it is shameless people like you that go about propping all sorts of scarecrows with spurious arguments,

the road to my street is riddled with pot holes and is virtually impassable when there is the slightest drizzle.as it stands, it doesnt matter to me who comes to the rescue to do it, chinese, ukrainians,philippines,or even guineans.what we need is for the job to be done.[b]china is not where they are today for nothing.[/b]they shd be allowed to do roads if they can deliver.after all, in Rivers State, I have never seen any road that was newly-built that lasted for more than 3 months before u see the roads cracking.the road the governor awarded to serve his hometown just scatter-scatter anyhow in less than 6 months and he had to order it cordoned off.was it the chinese that did the road?
una like better at all?

and I emphasized that if China could designed their environment the way we have seen it, if they are going to do any work for us, our quality and standard will not be less.

demoheart:

ROFLAMO!!! China man is now building roads in Nigeria, what haapened

I keep on coming back  to nigeria every year and they never seem to complete it,

^^^^^Then you most be sleeping whenever you enter LAGOS!!!
Please!! think b4 you hard comment, 

martinosi:

Dont flatter yourself, they have not completed anything, Stop defending people that dont give a rats as** about you,

dayokanu:

Aregbesola can travel out and come back to his State while James Onanefe Ibori has become a fugitive running from Dubai to London.

Is Uduaghan the greatest rogue in Nigeria not the governor? Like Governor like Commisioner

Do you expect anything more from Iboris protege.

A state that has a former governor cooling down in jail What a shame.

Delta state deserve better than all these PDP nonsense.

Maybe they would do well to get Chinese contractors in Delta state as well.

What a slap on the illustrious sons and daughters of Delta that their leaders are either thieves, Pickpockets and Murderers

From the moment he came into office, Timipre Sylva has done nothing but engage in acts and pronouncements that ridicule the people and the state. His interview with CNN is one such moment. The broadcast shows a man who is oblivious to micro and macro economic policies; a man who does not understand what development is, but instead, engages in and propagates voodoo and voodoo economics. In less than 30 months of being in office, the state is broke. Bankrupt. Available data shows that the state is neck-deep in debt, estimated at 300 billion naira. So, what’s the point of a second term?


Here is a man who also promotes mediocrity: The best and brightest minds -- men and women who should be encouraged to engage in development -- are either shunned or sent into political exile. His political philosophy is simple. He preaches, in the manner of Fascist Benito Mussolini: “O con noi o contro di noi”: You’re either with us or against us There is no middle ground. His praise-singers and/or those who obey his wish and command enjoy government patronage; his critics and those with dissenting opinion are left to rot, or drown.


Whatever opposition there are against him and his administration, are in the estimation of the majority, timely, desirable and well-deserved. Instead of judiciously carrying out his duties and responsibilities, he has resorted to survival strategies that are unbecoming of any decent man or woman. Instead of doing what’s best for the state, he courts outside powerhouses. Instead of being responsible to the people of the state, he is responsible to dark angels within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


Nigerians know President Yar’Adua’s wife as Turai Yar'Adua. But not so for Timipre Sylva, who refers to her as Mommy. He genuflects, he bows sheepishly, he trembles, he showers her with whatever he thinks will warm him to her political heart. He does all these and much for her and for many others within the PDP so as to secure a secured position during the PDP primary and eventual election. He does all these, and engages in corrupting acts, instead of doing what is right and proper for the state and for the people.


In the last couple of years, the Ijaw have blamed the federal government for the lack of development in their area. Without equivocations, their complaints are well-founded. Their grievances are legitimate and must be adequately addressed. That said, we the Ijaw must also hold our leaders responsible for the things they have done poorly and also for those things they have failed to do -- things that would have benefitted the vast majority of the people: provision of useful infrastructures, potable water, quality education and healthcare, network of roads and the enactment and execution of laws and public policies that lifts the majority of our people out of misery and poverty.


We have not done these. The Governors and governments of Bayelsa State, since its inception in 1996, have not done these. Not in any measurable way. And more so since 1999, with billions and billions in revenue and federal allocations, nothing substantial and enriching has been achieved. We cannot continue to fault the federal government for our woes and state of underdevelopment if our political elites and leaders are indifferent to the human, economic, political, cultural and social development of the people.


And so, whatever political opposition is there against the Governor must be assiduously encouraged. We therefore encourage opposition from the technocrats. We encourage opposition from retired military and police officers. We encourage opposition from “saintly politicians.” We indeed encourage opposition from all well-meaning indigenes of the state.  We have had enough of this senselessness. We believe that Governor Timipre Sylva Must Go! We cannot allow, and must not allow four more years of waste, of corruption, of stagnation and decay. We must turn back the Bayelsa Ship as it roves towards calamity and damnation.


To say that the budding opposition against Mr. Timipre Sylva is sectional is not only untrue, it is divisive and irresponsible. When the primaries and the eventual election in the state were rigged, it was rigged by Ijaw from all parts of Ijaw land. Now that there is a concerted move to deny him a second term in office, Ijaw from all sections of the Ijaw Nation are involved. In view of the aforesaid, only agents of destruction would contend that the opposition against the governor is rooted in sectional politics. Only those who do not aspire to good governance and to collective and personal responsibility would propagate core/non-core politics.


We the Ijaw -- from Ondo to Lagos through Delta and Bayelsa, and through Rivers State and Akwa Ibom, have common history and common ancestry. Ethnographically, we have the Arogbo, the Apoi and the Andoni Ijaw. We have the Kalabari, the Okrika, the Opobo, and the Nembe Ijaw; we also have our Bonny, Brass and Bomadi brethrens. In all of these, we have a common heritage, common language, common culture, common life experiences and common destiny. We know what is good for us -- one being the denial of Timipre Sylva a second term in office.  He is a liability, a burden. He Must Go!

You must be a corrupt cow defending a crook.
Please sum up how much AregbeRASCAL has spent on foreign flights, while doing ZILCH, waiting for dry season and spending only 3 days a month in his state.
Abeg, tell us when he finally accepts that he is responsible for paying the Osun state workers he is claiming he wasn't elected to pay.

dayokanu:

Delta State that produced people like Pat utomi, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, The Ibru Conglomerates etc

Sure no one like Aregbesola

vanariso:

Aregbesola has a fantastic track record. For 8 good years He single handedly kept Tinubu on a performance level beyond other governors of his time.

Jeezuzpick:

How many of you guys live in Osun State?

The nine months so far spent by Aregbesola as governor has not seen the wanton waste that was the showcase of the
Oyinlola years.

We in osun have seen a commodity deemed a rarity among our political class: Compassion! Aregbe, I'm sure, will deliver.
At least the beer parlours and pepper soup joints now have fewer SUVs with government plates gracing them every night!

Mehn! You should've been in Osogbo to see how PDP goons were living! Guns, Girls, weed, booze, all the works!
All that has disappeared overnight.

He kept the government as lean as possible for six months so it doesn't gulp money, and peeps here are jabbering about
him not appointing commissioners, while their state governors are appointing their sons as Special Advisers, pimps as
Executive Secretaries and their second-hand whores as commisioners!

How is Aregbe better than your governors?

By a whole lot!

PointB:

Wonders will never end. Some people will go any length to defend a kleptomaniac, focusless, vision-less governor whose first major act after 9 months in office is to nominate commissioners! Then this major a$$ kissing, bootlicking individual will have us believe that the gallivanting  Aregbe, [b]SYMBOL [/b]of mediocrity, cluelessnesss personified, is better than Gov Orji .  Well, I am not surprise, that Aregbe is competing with Gov Orji for the position of most clueness governor. A fair contest if you ask me.  But for that fact that Governor Orji achieved  more in his first 9 months than the gallivanting  Aregbe, [b]SYMBOL [/b]of mediocrity, cluelessnesss personified, I give the award  to him - Aregbe. The first and only governor to spend 9 months trying to figure out who and who to  nominate as commissioner. I bet the commissioners, in similar fashion as their boss, will spend another 18 months trying to figure out the problem of Osun state, and another 2 years proposing solution. Like begets like.

At this rate Osun state is in deep mess. My sympathy to the people who will endure the tenure of the gallivanting  Aregbe, SYMBOL of mediocrity, cluelessnesss personified. But I am sure they will manage him for 4 years, after all he deserves it, after putting up a good fight to reclaim his mandate from the usurper. The thing with this kind of leadership, is that they developmental funds are left in the state coffers as evidence of their simplicity and transparency, while the state will remain stagnant - devoid of major development or infrastructural upgrade. I laugh in Aregbe, 

As for the a$$ kisser who would do anything possible to tie me to a party. I have news for you - to hell with PDP, ACN, CPC, APGA. Give me Chime, Rotimi, Rochas, Fashola minus Tinubu, and you have made my day!  Thereafter, you may continue to lick Aregbe and ACN's a$$, soon enough you will taste their pooh!

Kpogede and omen are not far from the truth, nor be today

No one has told the story of delta yet, una just dey start, the Ijaw itshekiri war of the 1990's only stopped because the killers were eventually convinced they can make more money from political arrangee. But the killing did not stop. Na only whole sale murder stop, retail still dey continue.

The oil companies fueled a lot of this things with their cunny cunny ways and they turned brothers against each other. The most painful for me is the breakdown of respect and human decency in the delta. They turned youth against community elders and destroyed our cultural arrangement.

The thugs, killers, murderers and hired assassins became champions in the creeks and on land. Boys drop respect for dem papa and uncles and started seeing these young killers as leaders. Oil money destroyed our people's culture for Creekside. It is a shame.

It will take a big catastrophe to stop these things, men don too put hand inside blood  and eyes don shook for money. It's like how they destroyed the black community in America with drug wars and gangsterism, delta belongs to killers now and young people are looking up to them. It is a shame!!!!!

@Omen 100
How pelele now? na some body we know you dey yan. I nor go call your real name. I know why you dey vex.
People like your brother Monday Asiaka, Agbari, Oghenebrorien, Sunday Ogba, Lucky Maku, Ijoba, Bando, etc are given recognition based on the number of people they have killed while Ajebutter like you who cannot hurt a fly is left in oblivion.
let me quickly remind you that these people got their recognition before Uduaghan government.
To put the record straight, it is a precedence created by the Warri crises which led to the election of Hon Ejele as the chairman of Warri north LG. He was elected based on his commitment to the deffence of itsekiri nation. He is the only chairman that goes to war front to fight to defend his people even though he has hundreds of millions in his account, he was not afraid to die for his people.
When I hear people shouting murderer here, I just laugh. At a time in Warri area, if you dont learn how to kill, some one else will use you to learn how to shoot. All the leaders you see today both from the Ijaw and Itsekiri axis have all killed at one time or the other. Most of them metamorphosed from tribal war comanders to political leaders. Some are ministers and senators.
Uduaghan is too soft to handle this situation, only a strong cultist like the river state capon can stop the trend in delta state   

I have never or ever added a comment to any thread before but on this one, I thinked ihave somethings to say because this has to deal with directly. First, what ever photo's was displayed, was a true reflections of today's Delta State. I don't if it is the same in other states of the federation, i[b]t's only in Delta state you will a notorious thugs & killers, parading themselves as hero's & they will be celebrited, even the people go to them to seek. For arms, Beef, please call me a lier, then I will start mentioning name & maybe I will end-up calling your own real name.[/b] I leave all my youth age in Sapele but I have tour all the local government areas of delta when I was still Primary educational board, so mr.beef, there is no lies in all the pictures displayed here, even Ibori that was a known crook was never as worst as this clueless & visionless governor. It's high time we has Nigerians start placing things the way they are suppose to be placed. Thanks Nigerians.

Osun Awards Road Construction Contract To Connect Ogun, Lagos



The Osun State government has awarded a contract of road constructions that would connect the state straight to Ogun State, through Ikoyi to Ikorodu and to Lagos by bypassing Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The governor of the state, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this last Sunday during the Church Service marking the 20th Anniversary of the state, held at the All Saints Cathedral Church, Balogun Agoro, Osogbo, saying that when the road is completed, those travelling to Lagos would no longer pass through the rigours of traffic hold-up in Ibadan.
Represented by his deputy, Otunba Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, the governor also reiterated the commitment of his administration to rebuild Osogbo, the state capital and put it on the map of the world, as one of the best state capitals in the world.


According to him, “this government had awarded a contract that will connect Osun State straight to Ogun State, through Ikoyi to Ikorodu and to Lagos. We will cut-off Oyo State. So, we would no longer go through the rigours of traffic hold-up in Ibadan”.

The present administration, he said, was hell-bent in developing and renewing the state, through road construction among others, which, he said, had been started at the rural areas, due to the commitment of the government to develop agriculture and ensure massive food production for the people of the state.
Aregbesola also noted that the state was poised to tap all available avenues, especially in the area of tourism, to increase its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), for the advancement of the state.
He said: “Recently we launch O-Tour to put the state tourism on the world map, because we are endowed by natural things from God and we want to ensure that we become the best state in Nigeria, especially in the area of tourism. We are determined to bring out the best in the state.
“We have 63 tourist centres all over the state and we would develop all these, to ensure that our IGR improves, because, unfortunately, right now in the South-West, we have the least IGR, but within the next six months, you will all be living witnesses to what would happen”, he insisted.

The governor, who lauded the civil servants, religious leaders and traditional rulers in their untiring efforts at ensuring the development of the state since its creation, noted that his administration would do all it takes at ensuring that, the state is taking to the highest level of good governance, just as he called for prayers from every quarter in the state.
In his sermon, the Bishop, Osun Diocese of Anglican Communion, Rt. Reverend Afolabi Popoola, called on the Nigeria leaders to rise-up to the challenges of Boko Haram menace and armed robbery, among others, saying that the country is now in the era of fear.
Commending the governor on the employment of 20,000 youths under the Osun Youths Empowerment Scheme (OYES), the Bishop called for prayers and the fear of God among leaders and followers, saying that it was only through the fear of God and prayers that the crisis in the country could be resolved.
On the ongoing industrial strike action in the state, the Bishop appealed to the government and the workers, to further shift their grounds with a view to calling-off the strike, as many things in the state have been paralyzed, since the commencement of the strike action.
