WHATEVER. keep doing what you're doing. Find another Yoruba thread when you're done with this one.

Ufeolorun:

Now that you have all successfully plunged your knives into Ekiti and tweaked them several times,you people should start asking a basic question why a state that receives billions of naira in fed. allocation ,on top of it a 13% derivation and lest i forget  huge taxes from the multinational oil companies and its service companies would not/ cannot take care of its most vulnerable.
This write up contains little info. about the eviction story cos it isn't the real or the main point of the article and some of you are just going on about like its some flipping breaking news.

Ileke-IdI:

Not just that 30, the other 3000 coming in the future.

My question is, why does a rich state like delta not have suitable environment for it's disabled citizens?

Chuck D:

i find it quite unbelieveable how you guys seem to understand this situation. if you insist that delta state should take back their own from ekiti and other allied states, will you not in thesame breath ask delta to send back your own? should we all now descend to the level of discriminating against the physically challenged? ok you claim to be poor is now your reason to justify discrimination?

icez:

They don't seem to understand, its not about delta state. It about ethnic discrimination. They say ekiti people are in other states because ekiti is poor. How will they fill if these states(lagos, ogun, ondo, edo, delta, rivers. etc) send back all ekiti people? And especially disabled students in school.

icez:

 Oil companies never pay money to the state govns. All monies go to abj, that is why the oil companies are not responsible to the oil communities. The don't care if there is an oil spill or not, if you talk to them they will tell you to go to abj and if you insist; they will send they nigerian army after you.
 The 13% you talk about is not much. They cost of construction in the niger-delta is the highest in naija. Do you know what it cost to construct roads in mangrove-swamps of the delta? Even amaechi that was talking tough, had to go and borrow money from the bond market. But still; education and health(for children and the elderly) is free. Whether you just arrived rivers yesterday or not, whether you are a rivers man or not. No discrimination.
  In addition these students did not just arrive, they were already in school. This is not about delta state, it could be students from any other state.There is no justification for their actions.[/font]

decried the refusal of the Delta State government to take responsibility of its physically-challenged persons whom he said are scattered all over the countr

Beaf:

The bolded expresses what many might be thinking. There are many more Ekiti people in Delta state than there are Deltans in Ekiti, but we will never stoop to that level.
In my opinion, a poor state like Ekiti is really stirring up the hornets nest. I see other similarly poor states engaging in copy cat actions out of the very same debased bigotry that pushed the Ekiti governor to act the way he did. It is a very sad day indeed.

It is the ethnic bigots who think it is a war with Delta state; they cannot see the immense danger in the escalating actions primed by ethnic bigotry in Nigeria. I am sure there were a series of t!t for tat oppressive actions in Jos before mothers and their tiny babies were chopped in two or burnt alive. The Nazi party started with words, then increasingly tougher actions, then imprisonments and finally ended with war and gruesome massacres of the sort that would make a serial killer grimace in horror.

National President of the Nigeria Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET), Dr. Joseph Okuoyibo stated this in Asaba at a press briefing ahead of the 23rd Annual Conference and Workshop of the association which starts today.
Dr. Okuoyibo also decried the attitude of some state governments for not implementing the 30% special allowance approved by the Federal Government for the special teachers, adding that the teachers were also being deprived of other incentives for motivation.

Delta State chairman of NASET, Dr. (Mrs.) Catherine Onwubolu, attributed the migration of physically challenged Deltans to other states for education due to the dilapidated nature of infrastructures at special education institutions across the state and called on the government to pay adequate attention to the sector.

She emphasized that the environments of such institutions were not friendly to those who expected to make use of the decrepit infrastructures, adding that the state only recently implemented the payment of 15% special allowance for the secondary school special teachers only.

Ufeolorun:

  any justification for the above?

Ileke-IdI:

Anybody that feels like they want to carry bow and arrow to fight Ekiti ppl, I think you know where the state is. We can even pay for una's bus ticket, but then we're too darn poor. So simply follow the "river's flow".

I want to hear the full information from Fayemi's mouth gan gan sef.

oyb:

are you minding the pathetic noisemakers? instead of taking it up with their useless governor, they are trying to stir up hatred. later the same twats will be spamming the board about aregbesola. money miss roads. keep investing in empty edifices insted of your children , then come back to biatch about marginalization

icez:

Why do you speak this way? . You are they one who is stirring up hatred. When the abia govr. did same, he was condemned(even though these were workers). Now it happens in ekiti(disabled children for that matter), but you try and justify it. By the way, Abia is a very poor state in terms of finances.

peckhamboi:

Where was the outcry when the Yoruba Muslims were sent packing from Warri last week?

oyb:

stop the typical spin and spell.

there is nothing in common between the issue in abia and this. the 'foreign' workers in abia, are putting their income back into the state. they are renting, purchasing, setting up roots there. they are workers. the delta children on the other hand, in the end, will go back to delta state. ekiti will have used up its meagre resources developing human capital for a far richer state.

if delta state was poor, i might understand. but it is DISGRACEFUL , that a state with all that revenue cannot focus on what is importnat, and would rather its citizens are forced to go to lesser states.

sort of like americans going to mexico for college grants

if you cannot comprehend what i am getting at, then i guess the regular schools in delta state are in the same bad condition, we are talking about education.

icez:

Why are you so rude? .  Why being insultive? Anyway, if a uk citizen from greater-london lives in bedfordshire does that mean that since he is from a richer county or metroplolitan area, the bedfordshire county council should eject him from their schools? The answer is no. You are talking of contributing to the economy of the state. Haba!! these people are students in school. Do they ekiti state students in other states contribute to the economies of their respective states? The answer is [b]no.

So it was the Government of Delta that sent the threat letter for Muslims to evacuate . . .OYB . . .Na wao for you . . .apply small sanity for ya tory . . .You pass this level

Are you sure? Lol!
