If you actually understood my point. I am not saying community participation is wrong just don't make it legalistic. It can be a policy but it shouldn't be law as quoted by the Ekiti executive member. Many construction companies always recruit bulk of their workers (labours especially) from their immediate environment and even if the government or any executive member has a candidate most times talking to some of the contractors will employ the individual on a CSR basis but it shouldn't be law in a multi diverse nation because if other states starts passing the same law because of the antecedents, infact the consequences are just better imagined.

davidtemi:
O better

Nothing to kuku gain from FTC sef. I rest my case o @Seun

anonimi:


What is better about the government failing to employ workers for the provision of common facilities, utilities, and services but instead asking contractors to employ Ekiti people

Since you are concerned with what you can gain from FYC, it’s understandable that you have no clue whatsoever about government responsibilities.

Ehh !!! ..So if d indigene doesn't fit in for d work they must still use them abi? All because u want to create job. The gov don't even care about the quality of work to be delivered. Sme !

policies often serves as a foundation for the development of a law, most countries do this but do it indirectly, they give preference to indigenes before foreigners, indigenes enjoy alot of benefits like subsidized tuition and all, if u go to the UK today, the sch fees of a foreigner is different from that of an indigene... So in many countries, like in the US, they have buy American-hire American, i think it was introduced by Donald trump, the Japanese also gives preference to their indigenes before foreigners... To me it's a good law that every state should implement, like a percentage of your staff should be indigenes, it will help reduce unemployment... Or are you happy with the way foreigners come to Nigeria and take most of our contracts?

Judolisco:
they ain't asking for 2 much to me, give the indigenes jobs, even if it's on contract.... It's called community entry/participation

A jealous husband who beat his wife to death with their son's skateboard in a 'ruthless and cold-blooded' attack has been jailed for a least 17 years.

Olubunmi Abodunde wielded the toy with such force on his wife Taiwo that a pathologist was unable to establish how many blows she had sustained.

However, police officers — who stood outside for 35 minutes while waiting for permission from superiors to enter — described hearing nearly 50 'bangs' coming from inside the property.

When they finally entered, Mrs Abodunde, 41, was found with her 'skull smashed in'.

Jailing the defendant for life with a minimum 17 years behind bars, Judge Martyn Levett told him he was 'ferocious, ruthless, cold-blooded, callous and savage'.

Abodunde had said very little about what happened and gave 'no comment' responses during a police interview.

But the judge added: 'The simple fact is that you strangled your wife and then beat her to death and used one of the children's skateboards to batter her skull.'

Abodunde was jealous and suspicious throughout his marriage and accused his wife of having affairs.

Police had been involved with the couple several times over alleged domestic violence incidents before mother-of-three Mrs Abodunde's death on November 28 last year.

The day before, Abodunde was arrested after officers arrived at the couple's home in Newmarket, Suffolk, and found his wife with a split lip.

He was freed on police bail later the same day with a condition to stay away from the marital home and not to approach his wife.

But he went home the following morning after working a night shift at Tesco, claiming he wanted his mobile phone.

Two police officers arrived at 9.20am to take a statement about the previous day's incident but didn't enter the property until 9.55am – despite the commotion inside - after permission was granted. They immediately confirmed she was 'obviously dead'.

A post-mortem examination found she had been throttled until she fell unconscious, then stamped on until her ribs were broken.

Her husband used the skateboard to finish off the care home worker with blows that were so violent it was damaged in the process.

Prosecutor Simon Spence KC told a previous hearing, where the defendant admitted murder after a jury had been sworn in, that the banging the police officers heard was likely to have been Abodunde continuing the attack after his wife was unconscious or dead.

The family arrived in the UK from Nigeria in 2022 but clashed over money issues as well as the alleged affairs.

Abodunde was a trained civil engineer but had been unable to find work in the sector since relocating here and took shifts at supermarkets and DIY stores.

Following his arrest for murder, he told police he had acted in self-defence, saying: 'My wife has subjected me to physical abuse for a number of years.

'On November 28, we got into an argument. She ran at me with a knife. I grabbed the knife and cut my hand. I was defending myself.'

But Ipswich Crown Court heard while he did have an injury to his hand, there wasn't a knife near his wife's body.

Nneka Akudolu KC, defending, said the level of violence was 'completely out of character' for her client and might have been affected by medication he was taking. However, no medical evidence was provided to support the claim.

Three Suffolk Constabulary officers are under investigation for misconduct after the force referred itself to the Independent Office of Police Conduct. Two face action for potential gross misconduct.

Speaking after Abodunde's conviction, Detective Inspector Dan Connick said: 'This was an awful attack on a woman that has had a lasting impact on the community and, most importantly, on the victim's family.'

Many thanks for letting us know that you have a great role in how the state and our country is such a basket case of misplaced priorities and reckless looting since the return to democracy a quarter of a century ago.

What is their to brag about in being such a failure

MorolayoVictor:
Who's mobilising Ekiti news on this platform?

ruggedboych:
Nonsense talk, the lazy youths should go find something doing

Foolish agbros 😡

Ategberoson:



The illiterates in Ekiti are far sensible and well coordinated than those idiiots and educated illiterates in your region that seat their ass down every Monday at the order of one foool kilometers away


Left to education that slow down you people cannibalizing culture, you m0rons would have all in mass gone into extinction

ruggedboych:


maybe that's why one of your former governor is crying like a baby that oduduwa is lacking in education... skull mining dinbat

Agadinaagwuofe:


There's a national local content law which all the foreigners in Nigeria are abiding which I support but this is a state law . All the examples you gave you are citing countries national law which I agree. I only have problem with passing it on state level. Foreigners should be able to employ someone from Osun State and take him to Ekiti to work not a must It will be Ekiti to work in Ekiti. We can pass it as a national law not on a state level as that will cause lots of bottle neck in recruitment of professionals and also create antecedents that will further polarize the nation. Can someone from Texas unable to work in Florida due to any existing local content law? The answer is simply NO many Americans are free to move anywhere around the country to look for job and got employed

Ategberoson:



He's crying but still better the fool that suppose to revenge the killing of giving your girls doggy, killing you m0rons like ram but prefer to cry and told you imbeciles to fast because he knew you bunch of retrogressive scallywags are cowards


Till today the herdsmen are still giving your girls doggy and killing men that challenge them, what you coward do online is to rant, rant, and rant


Your 15th century brain is faulty, fix it

ruggedboych:


you are a foolship pervert, i won't read nor reply whatever jargons you are going to write. animal.. and stay away from my mention

Agadinaagwuofe:
Ekiti State shouldn't set a precedence that will burn this country down. What if other states starts doing exactly the same. There are Ekiti engineers and indigenes working in construction in other states. As long as they are Nigerians they should be allowed to work. If the commissioner or governor have people qualified they can negotiate than making it law.

UzorIyke:



The government did not tell the contractors to stop engaging with other people but rather in what ever work they're doing they should engage the ekiti youth plus inclusion of other people from different states

Light78:
Imagine someone from Kansas City not given a job because he doesn't live in Dublin

Haa, see how tribalism has started.

Education and universities started this first, where indigens will get admission first before other people from other states. Now employment has set in.

No hope for an Osun man coming to Ekiti to contest for house of rep

DJJOVINO:
[quote author=timilehin007 post=129991944] you clearly dont know what you saying...shey na because ekiti state government openly announced it...this thing happens somewhere somehow in every state...Idorama in Eleme PH , we were contracted from Lagos here to that place...it's very big working space with many contractors working on...there is a percentage of indigene that must be employed, unless you are not ready to work...and these guys are uncontrollable, dey are mostly uses as Mate( that's what we call them instead of labourers)...once it's 5PM they closes...even though situation might warrant that they close at pass 5...they will clean up Nd just go...they resumes to work in the morning at anytime...these guys are annoying and very daring

That's why measure and serious policy need to be put in place in order to separate the serious minded from those that have nothing to offer. Everyone can never act the same.
