NewNigeriaMind: NA YOUR CHURCH YOU DEY.....

Shey na church you wan send me ni?
Sorry oh as I nor bin know na so I come face mosque after I reach shrine nor see you

I know all I need to know about my state. There is no information like those that are living in the state and from all comments, Aregbe is the better and has done well.

I thought you said this earlier

NewNigeriaMind: I said road and rail infrastructure should be developed, I don't know about any rail station refurbished. As such I am not making any claim, do you get it now.

Let me provide information about just one of Aregberascal's SCAM:

Aregbesola Eulogised Over the Renovation of the Osogbo Railway Terminus

The governor of the State of Osun Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has been described as prudent, talented, having vision and a God given gift to the state.

The special adviser to the governor on works and transport Engineer Oladepo Amudah stated this in his office while fielding questions from journalists on the rehabilitation and face lifting of the Railway Station, Osogbo.

According to him, government is using its meager resources to develop the station in order to enhance the social and economic status of the state and meeting the standard of Nigeria Railway Corporation.

Engineer Amudah said government has spent four hundred and twelve million naira on phase one, while the next stage will involve the recreation centre, clearing and separation from terminus to Olaiya which will cost six hundred million naira.

He maintained that at the end of the projects the state government will be spending over one billion naira to renovate the railway station.

9jacrip: Let's assume the construction of the project was not outsourced - I am sure there are osun indigenes capable of handling them it means employment.

Construction materials for these project are outsourced as well can they not be gotten locally to encourage locals to compete as suppliers and then by implication spread wealth?

Opon Imo was handed to his son, it cannot be broken into bits and handed to capable different Osun indigenes that can handle them or there's none asides his son? If this was done = employment.

School Uniform - handled by his wife. Sold for about 3k when material can be bought outsider for lesser. Anybody caught selling the material gets sanctioned likewise any student who doesnt purchase from Aregbe through school.

And the list goes on.

These projects could have been a means to put food on people's tables and endear everyone to him but opposite is the case.

Aregberascal has been a good apprentice to his Oga JagaBandit of Thief'nubu & Co.
Like Oga, like Omo Ise; Aregberascal siphoning Osun state money since 2010

NewNigeriaMind: I want to beg you, read to comprehend before quoting me and if you are here to derail the thread, God send ebola your way.

Back to sender

I said road and rail infrastructure should be developed, I don't know about any rail station refurbished. As such I am not making any claim, do you get it now.

And you dey comment for Osun state matter when you do not know "Engineer" Aregberascal's "achievements"

fucking retard.

Again back to sender

NewNigeriaMind: Also to further buttress the need for road and rail infrastructure, Osun economic future is agriculture, how will the farmers survive if a simple tractor cannot make it to their farms or if they have no means of transporting their farm produce.

Please God stop the wave this new pdp stomach infrastructure in south west.

We want real infrastructure in roads and rail.

You guys are really stretching it. Are you jokers

Because Engineer Aregberascal spent our N 1 billion to refurbish the railway station in Osogbo you start claiming railway infrastructure
Do you think we are all Dodo Ikire sellers here ni

mogentle: Who are you asking those silly questions?
And can we move near such target with your style of Amala Politics and Stomach Infrastucture? Go and ask PDP that has been ruling Nigeria all these while. Ask them why our governors are still using the meagre allocations to construct FG roads all beacause of neglect. Even during PDP days as governor in Osun, no single federal roads was done. So, how can you now convince people to return to their vomit. Disgusting.

You must be such a sorry case beyond redemption.
You are not even ashamed to say meagre allocations
So meagre that Aregberascal used N 1 billion to refurbish a Railway station
It was not meagre when he claimed he spent N 8 billion on Opon Imo Ofo?
Or when he was spending our money building a phantom MKO airport that only exists in his POCKET

BTW, if it is meagre he can unilaterally reject it and work on the cash crops that produced the revenue used by Awo to TRANSFORM Western region. Oh, I guess the half-baked Engineer Aregberascal is too deficient intellectually to do such a thing

mogentle: Keep digressing. No matter what, go and check the history, no state has ever/ is enjoying tap water flow like Osun. I dont know the issue you are having with that in Ikire but I believe the solution will surface if the report gets to the authority. So don't use that as anti campaign point.

Also....STOP WASTING COLOUR now. We dont lack Vitamin A

So when you were "in some cities in Germany" you heard that their governors WAIT for report to get to them BEFORE "the solution will surface"

- Is the state water ministry/board not supposed to have agents monitoring the whole state for TAP water provision?
- What is the state legislator representing the town doing?
- What is the LGA Chairman doing?


I wonder what exactly you were doing in Germany to be making such a DUMB statement here

mogentle: I was in some cities in Germany and I saw the kind of roads they had all over their cities, then I began to wonder when we will start rebuilding to get lasting structures.

Did you also notice children wandering around on the streets of Germany out of school?
Did you find out the MINIMUM wage compared to that of Angela Merkel, the Chancellor vis-a-vis what obtains in Nigeria?
What do you think is the ratio of TECHNICIANS to Engineers in Germany and then the % of those two professions to the whole population?
And does everyone dig boreholes or wells in Germany to have water or the government provides TAP water?

Keep chasing shadows of roads without having a SUSTAINABLE foundation for growth & development

mogentle: Stop your usual pay per post attack on APC. Just answer my question. What FG project was brought to Osun as a payback during Oyinlola days?
I know you very well (on NL).

This is not about Oyinlola, who is now with APC, bringing FG projects to Osun.
It is about the performance of Aregberascal and whether he has done well enough based on the allocations he received on behalf of the people and the IGR he raised from our people.

The OP is yet to answer my questions about Ayedaade and TAP water provision in Ikire. Maybe you can help him respond.

mogentle: Let we the Yorubas settle our issue. Go and assess your governors in the East.
FYI, misruling by your PDP chased us to opposition party, and for now we still prefer their roads' quality to yours. What does PDP have in stock that is better than before? Never again. What did FG PDP achieve in Osun during Oyinlola's 7years regime? Please list them, I'm waiting. But I know you won't but abuse. Still expecting........

Is Oyinlola no longer a freshly baptised & redeemed born-to-gain progreTHIEF of the Amunisin (Enslavement) People's Congress, APC
Dem go take you do MUGU tire

How did you know I am from the East
Meanwhile you did not address ANY of the issues that I raised. Any hope that you will do that any time soon?

cheruv: as an Indian she's making noise... to hell with her!!

The signs and rantings of an hungry black man who is hung up on stomach infrastructure of let's eat all now & here, god will take care of tomorrow so no need for any savings/plans/preparations!

Such resignation is not NUTS in our character.
His family/town's people/tribe's men will call her crazy for taking away their opportunity to "come & chop" from the national cake aka Niger Delta oil revenue.

Justbright: u are on point.........an average grassroot nigerian (who incidentally are d main voter)see infrastructural development as a secondary need...all dey want is for their purchasing power to be enhanced, and be anle to feed their family....and dats what most apc governors have failed to realised...their shuld be an equilibrium between infrastructural development and putting food on d table of d pple by empowering dem economically....

You guys have allowed the Amunisin (Enslavement) People's Congress, APC to hoodwink you with their very FLAWED logic.
What bloody infrastructure are they talking about and at what COST Osogbo Railway station renovation at a cost of N 1 billion is just an example
Band of progreTHIEVES buruku piggy-backing on Jonathan's achievements to SCAM our people

Did Awolowo in Action Group as Western region Premier for six years (1954-1960) and UPN governors for four years (1979-1983) not provide much BETTER infrastructure in addition to ENDURING income generating programmes of FREE & compulsory education, rural integration, free primary health care.

BTW, what % of Ikire did Aregberascal cover with provision of something as BASIC for sanitation/health/hygiene/well-being as TAP water
Abi that one nor be infrastructure ni that can even promote economic activities and ultimately address hunger/ stomach infrastructure

Neyoor: Aregbesola has transformed my town to better within his 3 years in office.
SO FAR SO GOOD IN IREWOLE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, STATE OF OSUN, ALONE….In less than four years!!!

• NUD Middle School, Sango Ikire…Commissioned by Ogbeni Aregbesola on Tuesday 22nd July 2014
• St. John Grammar School-Opposite Uniosun, Ikire Campus
• Ayedaade Grammar School (High School) Ikire.

Are you saying Aregberascal built Ayedaade Grammar School that has been in existence for decades
Chai, APC people can tell LIES sha since PROPAGANDA is no longer enough to swindle our votes

salaksmana: If any thief joins APC, he is a new creature, old things have passed away, behold all things become new. - PointB.

Abeg allow & permit me to copyright, adopt & adapt this your ogbonge verse o jare

So Oyinlola is now a [size=14pt]born-to-gain ProgreThief[/size]

Our people in Osun state abeg make we shine our eyes wella wella oh!

Litmuspaper: Me, dey dnt have time for dat shii

Are you serious
With this Ebola virus, parents & everyone needs to get serious about sanitation/hygiene/PREVENTIVE health.
Person wey get ear make im hear wella.

ITbomb: Only university? or those from Polytechnic can also apply

Very good point.
Personally I would focus on TECHNICAL Colleges and VOCATIONAL schools as well as Polytechnics for Engineering & Technology courses so that we contribute our small quota to de-emphasise just seeking paper qualification and promote VALUE creation.
My personal opinion oh but I align with this initiative totally as it is a good start.

Thanks for this laudable initiative.
I subscribe to add my widow's mite as/when needed to make this a success.
Cheers.

denkyw: borno in the news, this time 4 gud

Please what is good about a state governor dissolving LGA Caretaker committees rather than having elected LGA Chairmen & Councillors in place to deliver on their assigned roles by the constitution
I dey wait oh for your rational of claiming such as a good thing.

Can you imagine if the President also SACKS state governors and the legislators in the state assemblies at will as these CLUELESS and lawless state governors are doing Would you also say that is a "good news"?

prophetone: I get your point but she was only contributing to the thread, which is commendable regardless. The intention is to highlight industry and not necessarily infrastructural development, which is no less worthy of celebration in its own right.

Would you mind considering the use of the word- acknowledgement- rather than celebration.
IMHO, that would be more appropriate to avoid showing the mediocrity that we are known for.

AMvanquish: Very funny the way some people just assume and love to swallow anything they read. The nature of my job has taken me to the nooks and crannies of this country. Both rural & Urban. Wheteher north, south, west, east; poverty is everywhere. So this your 8/10 assertion is just bogus and a mediocre attempt to justify exactly what you know nothing about. Peeps just sit down in their small rooms and spew trash. I think next time Im on field duty in other parts of the country, I should start taking pictures for all to see.

Please do and post on a thread for it.
Thanks.

idupaul: A quick list at the design team list of the Volt keeps turning up one Boniface Bob a cleveland native as the lead designer for the large team that designed the shell of the chevy volt .. What team exactly was mr Aliyu on .. Was he on the Engineering and Mechanics design team or the Aerodynamics and exteriors team ko na the interior and safety team .. Let's be specific as I suspect this to be like tha hoax of one Nigerian being the inventor of the internet or another that claimed he was a inventor of robotics .. Every search result the describes mr Aliyu as the "inventor" of Chevy volt is unfortunately and Nigerian owned forum or site ..Funny if we know the number of concerted thoughts that go into the development of the of car from idea to concept to production then I think its funny to label somebody as designer of a car

Abeg na who ask you to do search again, you for leave our tori as we bin put am now.......abi you want make dem label you hater ni
sarcastic mode

NafeesaAA: See them Haters

This is not about hating.....check Shymex' post that clearly acknowledges that the medicority issue is shared by us all.

SirShymex: This is an hysterical lion's den.

When your population is in tens of millions, and there are only a handful of achievements, then you should be worried.

Apart from the few rich folks, those who achieved excellence via academics are mediocre. Heck, I saw a guy doing postgrad programme at middlesex uni on the list - shameful.

It seems other Nigerians have infected the Northerners with the art of celebrating mediocrity, this is so unlike them.

You lot need to rally around one another, and develop your region. Your folks are way behind others, despite the fact that "others" are also mediocre achievers - mostly book readers, and not critical thinkers.

Sad thread!

Denial does not resolve any problem, or does it


BTW, beautiful picture or rather beautiful people in the picture.

prophetone: Can you please show the CRITICAL MASS of shiny elements in your area? Is the poverty rate where you're from not 61%? Critical mass indeed.

Only a silly thinking person would believe that any Unity School would admit a student that scored 2 in the common entrance exams.

Quit derailing the thread.

Since you seem to have missed my very first post on this thread, let me re-post it and hope you will fully understand its message this time around:

anonimi: The problem with the North as it is with Nigeria and black people as a whole is not that we do not have INDIVIDUAL bright spots & stars.
Rather it is that we do not have the CRITICAL MASS of people to make us relevant in the comity of NATIONS.
A tree does NOT make a forest.


These INDIVIDUAL stars of the North will do well to ensure their people are educated MASSIVELY and in good health.
Just as ONE example, it is very SHAMEFUL that a Bill Gates will be funding the eradication of polio and other diseases in the north & Nigeria when we have these "Lions"

Salam!
Shalom!!
Peace!!!

wazobiaN9: Nice piece.

However, please note that all these baby gains in the north that has taken many years can be blown up by a religious zealot in a second.
Therefore, i will advise all una northerners to ensure that you educate your children properly in order to build the future on today's gains. Sustainable growth and development is key.

Thank you.
Massive education of ALL children is the key to SUSTAINABLE development of the SOCIETY as opposed to having a few rich INDIVIDUALS here & there or some infrastructure that will go to rot because the SKILLED manpower to adopt & adapt as well as maintain them is not WIDELY & generally available in the populace!
QED!!!

prophetone: Do you need another thread naming INDIVIDUAL educated northerners that are manning the various Schools, Hospitals, Universities(Public and Private), Industries, Research Institutes, Farms and Offices (Govt. And Private) etc. in the entire 19 states of the North?

The idea that the north is populated by nothing but illiterate almajiri's with nothing better to do than catwalk with bombs is pure propaganda and to be honest, we can't be bothered. Remember in America, just like anywhere in the world, there are destitutes. Don't let the actions of a disgruntled minority in the north becloud your objectivity.

My dear, the objective measure will be what RATIO of Americans are destitute compared to those who are not.
What is the same ratio in northern Nigeria

Of course ther are some northerners who are also in the education sector but what is there ratio to the population of the North? And how has that affected the COMPARATIVELY low cut-off mark for northerners in national exams as posted earlier
As I said there are always INDIVIDUAL stars in each society, what is more important is to have MANY stars in the society such that the whole community/group/society/nation is BRIGHTENED by the CRITICAL MASS of these shiny elements.

colossus2: Was it really important to do so?
They are mourning and shouldn't be concerned about what people say....what I think tho'

It is VERY important to share medical information like this to HELP others including their own family members and relations to avoid such deaths. These illnesses are sometimes hereditary and people can be encouraged to do early tests/checks so treatment can be more effective towards being cured.

That is what oyinbos do and their societies are so much better that we are fleeing ours in hordes to go and benefit from their advances.
It need NOT be that way.

I hope the Akunyili family will undertake activities to sensitise people about cancer to get early check and treatment if necessary. That will be a MEANINGFUL memorial to her life & death.

Lordlexyy: Why Yobe, why not Kaduna or bauchi or even katsina? Beside, data from examination body do not hold credence to the true state of things or reflect on the quality of pupils. We have seen very educated northerners that one begins to wonder if the education ministry hasn't made the mistake of lowering their cut off mark. Provide a level playing field and these people will still excel.

Firstly, this thread clearly points out that there are few mega rich northerners who are also smart & intelligent. There is no doubt about that. The real question is why are there not so many of such people whose talents/intelligence is being harnessed through MASSIVELY provided education by their states and LGAs who are responsible for primary, VOCATIONAL, secondary and TECHNICAL schools.
The few INDIVIDUAL billionaires that are being highlighted on this thread, should also complement the state & LGA governments' efforts by donations to the education sector including scholarships.
That is what feeds into the cut off mark for national exams so they can have a quota in federal matters.

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC] That is a question for the north,an area with the highest rate of illiteracy,poverty and disease in the country... [/color]

Sorry to say, but it is a question for all of us Nigerians and black people generally. I agree with you that the northern part of Nigeria is particularly more affected by this primitive stu'pidity that is based on short-sighted selfishness & greed.

Ahuitzotl: The northern society promotes the concept of serfdom,an economic subjugation and exploitation of a majority by the minority without any hope of movement via social economic strata....Why would some people upset via education and economic empowerment the concept on whose backside these 'fat cats' rode on to be where they are right now?.…Who will allow it?? Dangote? Dantata??...

These socio-economic stratification is also there in the UK, USA etc yet they ensure ALL their children are educated because they understand the need to have an educated WORKFORCE that will enable the rich class to even make more money and have greater comfort.
Why is that so difficult for us black people to comprehend

Frankenstein: It's all about sentiments and disparities. In Africa, most people will only help you if you are related to them. That mindset has infiltrated the government and that's the main reason we are backward.

A case of people getting top positions in government not because of their exceptional talents, skill or performance but because they know people in authority. The end result is a crowd of charlatans and unqualified persons managing our country.

So the quesion is why would our rich INDIVIDUALS be stu'pid enough to promote something that makes us ALL the scums of the earth as evidenced by the instagramm picture and message from Chris Brown posted on this thread

Frankenstein: So many billionaires from the north. Let them work more in helping their fellow northerners and bridge the steep gap between the rich and the poor in that region.

If a huge percentage of people there get formal education plus worthwhile and steady jobs, nobody will have the time to join terrorist groups.

The problem with the North as it is with Nigeria and black people as a whole is not that we do not have INDIVIDUAL bright spots & stars.
Rather it is that we do not have the CRITICAL MASS of people to make us relevant in the comity of NATIONS.
A tree does NOT make a forest.


These INDIVIDUAL stars of the North will do well to ensure their people are educated MASSIVELY and in good health.
Just as ONE example, it is very SHAMEFUL that a Bill Gates will be funding the eradication of polio and other diseases in the north & Nigeria when we have these "Lions"

Tolexander: actually, the guy was refering to the federal portfolio.

I fully understand and appreciate that. However it is very important that we do not lose sight of the more direct role of the states and LGAs to provide the services & utilities to the people while the FGN is more into policy setting and higher level interventions.
The state governors receive so much money as well as the LGAs yet they do almost NOTHING because we let them get away by focusing SOLELY on the FGN
