How unpopular Oyetola massively loot Osun



Indeed, we are serving a living God in Osun State.

Seun Lalasticlala Mynd44 OAM4J

Both parties enticed people with money for votes. PDP shouldn't pretend to be saints
In my polling unit PDP shared 3k and APC shared 5k for vote. As a matter of fact, PDP agent told me to stylishly show my ballot paper for them to be sure I voted for them so that I can collect money of which I refused.

thedio:
this is not their first time,they did the same thing for Bisi Akande and regretted it. That Oyetola must be a genius won le ri owo e mo,won ti ti oluomo won lule

I'm very sure you are not from Osun state. Osun people never regretted voting Akande and AD out.

seunmsg:
Oyetola is a very brilliant guy but he was designed to fail as a governor by Rauf Aregbesola. Unfortunately, Nigerians are very ignorant of what the issues are so they tend to make the wrong political decisions at every election cycle.

Oyetola’s major offense was not executing big contracts and sharing money like Rauf did. Some, especially Osogbo people also hated him for fighting Rauf. But truth be told, what’s in Rauf’s legacy that should be continued? Crazy debt? Crazy religious policies? Crazy educational policies? None payment of salaries? What exactly?

The governor inherited a crippling debt portfolio from Rauf. The state’s monthly allocation was not even enough to meet the servicing of the debt left by Aregbesola not to talk of paying salaries and executing contracts. Still, he managed to keep the state together.

He had two choices as governor, take more crazy loans that the state can’t payback in the next 100 years or cut down on government projects and prioritize payment of salaries, repayment of loan and execution of only emergency projects. He choose the second option and got punished for it.

People, including political contractors simply wanted huge contracts to be awarded everywhere without caring about where the money would come from. They wanted a governor who would come to Osogbo round about and stand on the roof of his car and share money. Oyetola refused all these and they hated him.

I sincerely wish Ademola Adeleke well but I’m eagerly waiting to see what he will do differently considering the huge debt portfolio of the state.

God bless you bro, you just said my mind. Oyetola inherited people's hatred for Aregbesola. I hear a lot of people say he's a good man but they are just tired of APC regime from the president to the state level. APC has governed the state for almost 12 years. Though I hate APC and everything about them but I have little resentment for Oyetola and Osinbajo because they have distinguished themselves.
I was still sharing my reservations about Adeleke with my mom this afternoon. I just hope he has practical and realistic means of generating revenue for the state or else he will dash the hope of thousands of people, especially, the civil servants.

Atiku had nothing to do with winning the election. Osun people were just tired of APC government. APC has been governing the state since 2009, that's almost 12 years.

Hahaha , this is hilarious

Interesting comments. Yet, according to some Nairaland guys, " women are demons and devils".

Adexxi:

It was obvious Apc will win Ekiti, pdp are not from day one serious there. It was after the election I saw why Makinde fought Fayose . As for Osun buy vote , we buy too . Anyways I don receive Apc 5k yesterday and that doesn't stop me voting Adeleke come Saturday.

The bolded part made me laugh. You get money reach APC? APC is coming with bullion van

Adexxi:
You are not from osun , then assertion is baseless. Omisore is from my grandma side in ife. We always support him cos' he was the only politician from ide on spotlight then. Then many bigwigs are all with him . Unlike now some followed him while some still remain in pdp . IFE now have new faces in politics. Such as Hon. Ajilesoro, somehow related to him too. This is a man that is well loved by the people of ife infact people from opposition parties admires this man . He had position himself to be powerful in ife . He is with Adeleke.

Same Omisore was once taught a lesson by IFE people when contesting for third term in the senate, most outsiders don't know this . To now add salt to the wound , Adeleke deputy is from ife , he is a noble prince . So you expect us to follow Omisore and leave deputy position abi .... Which kind mumu dey do that

Bro, I can see you are from Ife and you understand the town's politics very well. 2018 governorship election really taught the people a big lesson. People refused collecting money just because they were loyal to Omisore. However, Omisore betrayed them by collecting money and political positions from the same people they loathed. The state workers felt betrayed the most.
The reality is that Oyetola will win saturday's election simply because of Tinubu's presidential ambition. Oyetola loosing the election will signal weakness in APC, a dent to Tinubu's desperate ambition and they might lose the 2023 presidential election. So, APC will use any means possible to win the election. Vote buying will be high, unfortunately, the masses are hungry and wouldn't might quick cash.
For me, I don't think I will vote this Saturday. It is like "choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea". If I change my mind, I'm either voting for LP or SDP

Welcome to Ile-Ife, the cradle of the Yorubas. I hope you will enjoy your stay.

KemeticPrince:
Hello guys!

I need an opinion on issues concerning my marriage.

I got married two years ago, although left to me i would never have gotten married but i had to as the only son of my parent.

I live separately from my wife(a house i built, while i live in a rented place) and although we live in the same state but i can't just seem to live or co-exist peacefully with any other person other than myself.

My wife has really been on my neck lately, she came to my house last week with our child and refused to go back after a week. I am tired and i just wish to be alone please.

I am not a deadbeat dad, i give her 100k every month for food and utilities.

I just want to be left alone, i don't hate her, infact i appreciate all she does but i just love doing things on my own. I'll love my family structure to be this way, i mean coming home to visit my kids(when i have more) and wife every two weeks.

I have a brother just like you. When we were growing up, he will chase my sister and I out of his room. We could rarely touch any of his things. My mother kept defending his actions.
He carried this same habit into marriage. He and his wife stay in separate rooms. Yet, he will send his wife away from his room except for the time of conjugal relations. She complains about it. His kids have noticed this and will never touch his things or request things from him. They go through their mom.
During the last visit of his kids to our house, I heard his 9 year old son correcting his 2 year old son not to be selfish like their daddy.
I will not blame the children if they grow preferring their mom to their dad. He is emotionally withdrawn from them.
Infact, we his siblings have told him right to his face, that if not for his wonderful, accommodating wife, we would never come to his house.
Personally, by the time I was finishing my undergraduate studies. I discovered I was not really comfortable staying in the midst of a lot of people. So, I decided I was going to live in NCCF family house just to break out of my comfort zone. It wasn't comfortable at first but I adjusted. Do I still need my alone time? Yes, of course. But, I make sure I don't stay away from people for too long. There are time I look for a silent place to escape the noise of the society (to retreat), to reflect and meditate. But I don't base my lifestyle on that. I still make sure I go back to my regular lifestyle of staying around people.
Op, this your actions has a deep root in selfishness, think about the effects on your wife and kids. Do you really want to be alone by yourself at your old age?

Hi, this brought back my childhood memories. I and my brother played this game a lot when we were younger.

Travicon:
Hello Nairalanders,
I will try as much as possible to make the write-up short.

I am a 21years old guy at a Russian university with two Nigerian roommates (In the hostel though). We averagely get the same amount of money as an allowance monthly, but mine always finishes first.

I don't spend unnecessarily on myself, and we cook together. I discovered after two months of staying together that they care less about buying things that we generally use in the room. For instance, I always buy food season, detergents, and cooking oil (quite expensive).

I cook most of the time. Anytime I decide not to cook, we always go hungry and I can't cope with that. This has made my cash always run out faster and I can't stop them from eating my food or using the things I buy.

There was a time also I lend the last money with me (100k in naira) to my best friend then in Nigeria because he claimed his dad was sick and promised to repay by month-end. I didn't have anything to take me through the remaining days of the month but I gave it out because he was a close friend. Month-end, I couldn't get money from my sponsor because of some issues. I contacted my guy but he stopped replying to me on WhatsApp. I managed to get 20k but the rest is probably history now.

Whenever people talk about their problems, I always feel for them to the extent of giving out my money even if it's the last cash on me. I have never had a girlfriend, but I don't always have the strength to reject if a girl asks for airtime or money from me (including my mum and sisters though)

I always try to go to any length to see people happy even if it means borrowing money from another person for them. I'm that foolish. Generally, I'm too soft-hearted and nice but I don't know how to solve this problem. Someone advised me I should get a girlfriend who should always be angry with me if I'm being too nice to people and that will help me solve the problem to some extent but I think it won't.

I'm not from a rich family, not even from an average family. I'm even from a polygamous home so I know what it means to have suffered as a Nigerian. I was on the street and I guess that's what is making me this weak emotionally. I'm a simp all-around in my life and relationship with people. People are always cheating on me, taking advantage of who I am.

I NEED genuine HELP, please.

1) don't be too hard on yourself, you are who you are. However, you can only improve yourself.
2) you need understand yourself that you have a good heart, and most people you will come across in this life are terrible people who are to take advantage of you. This is regardless of who they are to you. So you need to know when to draw the line and protect yourself against these people.
3) acknowledge the fact that only you can take care of you, the way you want to be treated. The only exception is well you meet someone that is like-minded. Most people are just out to get from you and not give. Giving to people is not a bad thing, just know when to draw the line.
4) stop cooking for the whole room. I mean, are you their cook? This will help you reduce your cost.

South east is a forgone region to him ...

But,
If he succeeded in maintaining his hold up north...omo! Forget

Have you forgotten Atiku has a strong hold in the north?

Osun
Peter Obi
Funny enough, I have another female friend from Osun state, currently living in the Netherlands. She is planning to flying in into the country during 2023 election to vote for Peter Obi. She told me about this, long before Obi left PDP

meetgaya:
SENATE & REPS ARE IGNORANT OF ELECTORAL ACT THEY DRAFT...all in busy to fight MALAMI & GOVERNORS

Going through the primaries, you will realise that the 109 senators and the 360 house of reps members never actually read through the new electoral amendment act.

They were just screaming, "Mr President sign! Sign! Sign!" without even knowing what they have sent to him to sign.
To sound elitist, a lot people kept disturbing our eyes and ears with .. "Muhammadu Buhari is scared of signing!".. what do you know was to be signed.. These lots never showed their constituencies!

From the selection of only delegates.. these funny politicians didn't even know when they wrote off their statutory delegates!

Like football coaches, it was their duty to inform their parties that the game has changed!

They don't even know when they nipped in what made the Yørúbas opt for another candidate other than Yemi Osibanjo, because a VP who has done 2 terms can now only do a one term as president.

This was where Ebele Goodluck Jonathan was seeking for clarification, to know if he is still eligible because, he has done VP that jumped into two terms and a one term President.

PDP has not told their supporters that by the new electoral laws, Atiku Abubakar can only do a one term, haven done 2 terms as VP.

The new law does not permit anyone who has contested for primaries in one party to skip to another for any position in the same election year. So the Mr.Peter Obi coming to PDP or NNPP Kwankwasiya teaming with Peter Obi is gone.

The law does not even permit that any of those that has contested for any position to take up any other in the same year.. so the story of Nyesom Wike or Yahaya Bello, being a VP is off for 2023 cos they can't aspire for president and VP in the same electoral year.

Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Akpabio, etc who have variously contested can not vie for senatorial position or Vice Presidency respectively..

In fact, the scenerio that made Atiku a VP can't happen again, where he won as governor and was later picked by Olusegun Obasanjo.

A beg as you are struggling to get your PVC, struggle to know the rules of the game! Go and read and understand the Electoral Laws.

The smart ones like Peter Obi left PDP before primaries. Akpabio stepped down and did not participate in the primaries. But Lawan went through primaries and failed. So he cannot go back for another post. This time will be very interesting. The judiciary should brace up.

Woow, what an eye-opener

Larrysung:

oh wow! I think you're more fanatic than i am. Reason been that, i've not seen season 5-12. However, i'd like to know your top 5 characters.

Seasons 10-12 are not as interesting as the other seasons. I love all the characters Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, Penny, Bernadette and Amy. However, Sheldon and Howard are my favorites

Larrysung:
The big bang theory!
i've seen this series more than 5 times! My laptop crashed, and i'm having this crazy urge to see it again, and not for the last time. Even the last time won't be a last time. I'm saying... Till death do us apart!

Woow, I see another big bang theory fan like me. I have watched season 1-12 over 10 times. I watch it to relax and laugh.

Philipponzaghi:
City Boy, the Jagaban!

He worked hard for other people in the past 15 years, fighting hard to place them at the top. He already picked his form for senatorial ticket in 2007 but had to step down for someone else because he said they might take Lagos and that spells doom for the AC in retaining the SouthWest.

He is not selfish, he helped Vice President, Senators, governors, Speakers, and etc to get to the top, WHY can't they just reciprocate just this ONE TIME?

Let's even agree they won't reciprocate, why then go about lying about who helped you like the VP have been doing? That is treachery!

We are not saying Buhari should support Asiwaju, BUT at least allow for a fair primaries where the delegates will vote their conscience; That request is not too much from someone that helped you achieve your dream after failing 3 times.

Yes, he did all these things you listed, bravo. But, is the presidential seat a reward for political labour?
Nigeria clearly needs a president that is capable physically and mentally, to get her out her current mess. We should not all suffer another life support president just because of someone's selfish lifelong ambition.

I was on this space yesterday for about an hour, I was shocked to see tinubu's fans already wailing and crying, threatening hell and fury if the primary election doesn't hold. They said APC will implode if buhari should force his candidate on anybody.
The only reason they supported buhari in 2019 was because they were expecting a reciprocation come 2023. And Tinubu is the only APC candidate that can win Atiku. They really trashed Osinbajo yesterday.
It is now they realized buhari is a tyrant who doesn't speak much, proper democracy is not practice by his administration and that Nigeria is in a mess.
The space was full of hypocrisy, they just want to force Tinubu on everyone.

PoliteActivist:


Statistics happen to prove you very correct. See below.
I also believe a true Christian won't commit suicide - he won't have the time. Also catholic nuns have none of those things
--------------------------
To all of you yapping below,
STATISTICS BELOW PROVE IT'S NOT ALWAYS THAT BLACK WND WHITE

Don't mind those ignorant folks you quoted. They are always looking for means to bully and belittle women

Hopemanfx:

1) I have a believe that if I get married I will lose focus.
2) the fear of not achieving what I want to achieve in life.
3) am afraid of diverting from my main goal in life and focus on something else.
4) fear of marital issues that will make me lose focus and plan.
5) marrying to pretendous woman.
6) a lot more.
Please I need your advice

It all depends on who you are and the kind of spouse you marry,
1) marriage is meant to sharpen your focus, not make you loose it. Two good heads are always better than one
2) Marriage will not stop you from achieving your dreams, it is meant to make achieving your dreams easier.
3) Marriage will not stop you from achieving your goals, it should help you achieve more
4) Having marital issues depends on you and your spouse. If you marry a understanding, forgiving and committed spouse, it makes all these issues easier
5) That's why you need to "shine your eyes"
A marriage is as good as the two people involved in it. It takes two to tango. If you are a bad person, you will get a bad marriage. Even if you get a great person, you will use your bad character to scatter the marriage. If you also marry a bad spouse, you will also get a bad marriage.
Look beyond shape when choosing a spouse, pray, commit your ways into God's hand and he will direct your path.

Teens still go to churches oo in their number. They attend churches that targets them and focus on their realities. I attends a youth church and belong to youth-focused ministries, you need to see the way some of these teens are on fire for God.

You said this and I cited the example of Boko Haram, bandits and also ISWAP

What about bokoharam and the bandits? Don't they advertise who they are and that are behind killings? Why are you guys living in denial and making excuses?

I like a Christ-like man who loves God more than I do, someone who has leadership qualities and understands what leadership is all about, a very intelligent, smart and mature man, an emotionally expressive and empathetic man, a hard-working and focused man, kindhearted and nice man, soft-spoken and easygoing.

I dislike stupid, dumb, entitled men with old and ancient mindset, someone who don't see anything good in a woman, someone who only sees a woman as a sex object or a slave or a baby-making factory, bullies, womanizers, verbally and physically abusive men.

Na Wa o. So you expect him to stress himself unnecessarily just to massage your ego when there are easier methods. The only difference between paper invite and WhatsApp invite is the sheet of paper which you will discard immediately after the wedding. Has the WhatsApp invite reduced you? Will the hardcopy invite add any value to your life?
This is why I avoid petty people as much as possible, they love creating trouble when there is none.

This was the first phone my dad bought for my mum.

Peter532:
she was upset about something I said to her before she left, so that was my punishment..I told her how sorry I was.
well am in the boat already, and I know God will continue to let it sail..

A 19 year old girl taught you a bitter lesson . I'm very sure you are one of the guys bragging and forming redpillers here on Nairaland.

Peter532:

you keep calling me older man, how am I sure am older than your father?

Is grammar difficult for you? Older means the age gap between you and your wife is wide probably more than 10 years.
On a normal day, I'm very sure you will not make friends with males 10 years younger than you are, not to mention females.
So I wonder what kind of companionship you expecting from marrying one.

Peter532:

well she's 20 next month, and yes companionship. not everyone is a fan of evening newspaper sorry if that offends you, considering your nature.

You didn't answer my question, what kind of companionship can a 20 year old offer a much older man? I guess you mean sex when you say companionship.
You better leave that girl alone before she tempted to kill you to free yourself.
Then, you should have used your old monicker instead of a new one to post your story. This will make your dragging sweeter, I guess you are one of the redpillers.
