₦airaland Forum

The Deputy Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Mr. Lasun Yusuf, on Monday
shunned the summit organised to proffer
solutions to the financial crisis rocking Osun
State.
The Osun Legislators’ Forum, comprising of
lawmakers from Abuja and the House, convened
the summit with a view to solving the current
financial crisis in the state.
Although the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Titi Laoye-
Tomori, and Senator Isiaka Adeleke also were
not present at the summit, their absence did not
raise questions like Lasun’s.
The summit was attended by Governor Rauf
Aregbesola; former Governor Olagunsoye
Oyinlola; a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air
Marshal, Oluseyi Petinrin (retd.), monarchs and
other prominent leaders in the state.
Lasun’s absence further fuelled speculations that
the rift which his emergence as the deputy
speaker caused between him and Aregbesola
had not been settled.
Lasun, who represents Osogbo/ Olorunda/ Orolu
Federal Constituency, had defied the position of
the All Progressives Congress to contest the
position of the deputy speaker and he won.
The APC Elders’ Forum in Osun State asked him
to resign and advocated that he should be
sanctioned, but the lawmaker rejected their
calls.
One of the legislators, Alhaja Ayo Omidiran, had
announced on Saturday that the lawmakers
decided to come up with the idea in order to find
solutions to the economic crisis confronting the
state.
When asked why Lasun was not present at the
Saturday press conference, Omidiran said the
lawmaker was being expected to attend the
summit.
At the event, the Chairman of Nigeria Labour
Congress in Osun State, Mr. Jacob Adekomi,
faulted the claim of Governor Rauf Aregbesola
administration that the state monthly wage bill is
N3.6bn. He also said that the number of the
state’s workforce was not as huge as claimed by
the state government.
Adekomi said this in his presentation at a
stakeholders’ meeting, organised by the Osun
Legislators’ Forum in Osogbo to proffer solutions
to the problems confronting the state.
He said the union would not support any plan to
sack workers, saying they were ready to submit
themselves for staff audit to ascertain the actual
number of workers.
He said, “Retrenchment of workers is not a
solution to the problem of the state. We have
always support the government and we will
continue to support the government.
“Let the state government stop using consultants
to do what civil servants can do. If at all the
state government will use consultants it should
be minimal and their commission should not
exceed 10 per cent.
“Osun State wage bill is not up to N3.6bn that
the government is claiming. Workers are not up
to 35,000 which is the government’s figure. That
was why we agreed to submit ourselves for
screening to know how many we are. There are
some persons on the state government’s pay roll
who are not workers.”
The NLC chairman, who spoke in Yoruba, also
advised the Osun State Government to withdraw
from joint ownership of the Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology, Ogbomoso.
He said that the state should leave the university
for Oyo State and merge whatever assets got
from it with the Osun State University. According
to him, the state does not have the capacity to
finance more than one university at the moment.
“Let Osun stop the joint ownership of LAUTECH
with Oyo State. We should merge our part of the
school with UNIOSUN. This will save the
government the subventions spending on the
university,” he said.

All is well.

Beface:
Daily trust is not being fair here because the victim is a well known theft in maraba. He victim stole bag and he was caught,so the army decided on him and i think he deserve it.

Oga, even sanity of life must be protected no
matter what. There should be dignity for humans
in our societies even if an robber is caught.
This is what separate a barbaric society from
civilised society.
Do you think they have armed robbery cases in
the western world? But they do not go about
stripping people Unclad (even in the presence of
minors) or carrying mod actions (such as beaten
with club, putting pepper into woman's vagina,
using tyre and petrol to burn human being alive)
against alleged or red handed caught criminals.
We must rise above emotional and sentimental
bondages in carry about our daily activities and
civic duties.

ernestita3:
But its not a new thing na , its bn a long aged culture practiced by d nigerian army, some even force an innocent public driver to swim in d dirty water in d gutter. Some even strip innocent people naked on d street of uyo here in akwa ibom state.

Even the criminals ,( armed robbers, thieves, kidnappers, burglars etc), they have no right to strip them naked and even the mob have no such right as well.

Spybradd:

A lecturer in a tertiary institution in Osun State (name withheld), on Thursday, reportedly collapsed inside a bank located within the institution’s premises following a discrepancy in his salary, http://savinggracereporters.com/ headline/lecturer-collapses-in-bank-as- osungovernment-pays-him-n150-instead-of- n150000/

The Osun State Legislators’ Forum, comprising
lawmakers at the National Assembly and Osun
State House of Assembly, have invited
stakeholders in the state, including former
governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, to a
conference on how to move the state out of its
present economic crisis.
The lawmakers, who were led to a press
conference in Osogbo on Saturday, by a member
of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Ayo
Omidiran, said the forum was convoking the
meeting in order to get suggestions on how the
state government could get out of the economic
quagmire.
The forum said it was expecting Governor Rauf
Aregbesola; his deputy, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori;
Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem
Salaam, and other leaders to attend the
conference.
Omidiran said the forum decided to call all
stakeholders together to brainstorm on why the
state had been experiencing difficulty in meeting
its financial obligations to workers and
contractors.
She said, “It is true that our dear state is in dire
straits. It is true that our state is going through
hard times. Workers and pensioners are owed
many months’ salary and infrastructural
development projects have come to a halt.
“Members of the Osun Legislators’ Forum
therefore decided to organise this summit to
serve as an avenue to deliberate on the state of
our state, interact with all stakeholders, including
but not limited to all past governors and their
deputies, technocrats and artisans, labour unions
and non governmental organisations, traditional
rulers and market women; in short, everyone that
has a stake in the State of Osun.
“We sent invitation to Senator Iyiola Omisore
because he is a former deputy governor and a
former Senator. We are expecting him and others
to come to the conference.”
Omidiran added that the outcome of the
conference would be presented to Aregbesola,
stating that the forum would wait to see what
the governor would do with it.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Mr. Lasun Yusuf, who is from Osun State, was
absent at the press conference but Omidiran
said the lawmaker was expected to attend the
conference.

Only time will tell.

They should not allow to shoot to kill. Rather, they should shoot to disarm the ritualists and allow proper judiciary processes to take place.
Some evil police officers can take the negative advantages of these directives to perpetuate evils.

Egbele oooohhhhhhh.....ayav died!!!!! Dude, return those degrees with immediate effect!

Uncutureness: My own vocabulary.
Uncutureness: lack of culture <ignorance, uncultured or, at the best, mediocrity has triumphed. It is synonymous to uncultured.
If you have asked the meaning, I would have explained to you. Now, my opinion on your statement.
Dude is more correct to Nigerians! I smh.
Whether it can be accepted by you the gullible follower of British English in Nigeria is debatable. I smh. In your myopic thinking, the word like stadium, among others was originally accepted as an English word.
Just take Longman English Dictionary, look art how new vocabularies/words are been accepted in less than every five years.
My stereotype friend, go out and learn new things.
http://www.thehistoryofenglish.com/issues_new.html
Nothing is static in this world. What is held as a good rule today can become a taboo tomorrow.

I am ashamed to have past through this institution for two degrees.
UI that suppose to be centre of all civilization for Nigeria and the rest of Africa is now where barbarism and uncutureness are being exhibited.

Imortal001:
Fayose we are still scanning your case! Did you complete your 10yrs after impeachment before you become governor again? Hold on, we coming for you!

Technically and legally, Mr Ayo Fayose was never impeached. Supreme Court Judgement.

.

Mr Akande, stop crying like a bady. Mr Tinubu and FG cabals (Buhari and co) are in Abuja eating Billions of Dollars dinners. You are in your extreme location of Ila Orangun, shouting wolves where there is none.
Who appointed you spokesperson to Mr Tinubu?
Tinubu has his own mouth now, let him talk for himself if the party leaders are treating him unfairly.
Mr Akande, your business should be to face Aregbese (the Governor of Osun State) together with all other former democratically elected governors of the state, and tell Aregberascal to clear the mess which he had pushed Osun State into.
Thank God, all the former democratically elected governors are members of APC.

Oh Lord, give me a woman that is both beautiful at heart and physically,
Woman don dey hungry me to marry, please take olodos and obiakpos away from my path,
Let that woman accept me for who and what I am,
I promise to be my best for her.
All these and more I ask in Jesus Name,
AMEN!!!!!!

I share your view.

Only time will tell

APC and his government should be more firm in their decisions.

Mr Olusegun Obasanjo (former Nigeria President) might be a drug (cocaine) peddler but the South Africa authorities decided to sweep the case on under the carpet rather than investigating.

CreekReporter:
so wearing panties is now a disgrace
Na wa for how some people dey think oh.

btw what you're seeing is more of an optical illusion formed by an awkward superimposed shadow

the president is actually putting on a pair of trousers and covering himself all up with a caftan. so I see no way the human eye will go as far as seeing beyond the caftan and the trouser all to his underpants.

all you're seeing is an illusion bro.

checkout Obama's own

I know that you know that you are deceiving yourself .
