₦airaland Forum

For some time now I have warned my friends who happen to be propaganda proponents and remain blindly loyal supporters of the Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN that they NEED to stop LYING and circulating LIES to us. This forum is not made up of their usual crowd of Area boys, agberos, motor park touts, thugs etc.
They obviously cannot and do not want to listen and heed good advice, hence they continue their reckless journey of dis-information.

Last year's budget ALONE of N160 billion contained a provision for over N50 billion as loan:

Tax burden as Ajimobi presents N160bn budget

IBADAN— GOVERNOR Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has presented a budget proposal of N160.6 billion to the legislative arm of the state.

It is made up of N110 billion to be financed directly and N50.16 billion to be financed through loans.

Vanguard

And this is obvious given what Ajimobi's state receives from the federal allocation which flows essentially from Niger Delta oil monthly.

Ajimobi laments paltry allocation to Oyo state

The governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has raised strong objection to the paltry monthly allocation to the state which he said is not enough for the state to meet its obligations to its people.

Ajomobi tabled his protest of the paltry allocation to Oyo in particular at Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC in Abuja. He said that the monthly N2.3billion allocation to the state from the federation account cannot foot the bill of the state which spends N4.2 billion monthly on salaries and wages with its more than 2,000 schools spread across the state and 35,000 teachers to carter for.

Vanguard

So the difference between the N110 billion "to be financed directly" and the N2.3 billion monthly allocation is the IGR that is taxes, levies, rates, fines etc from the hands, wallets, pockets, handbags and purses of Oyo state residents and even those outside the state who have aged or other dependents whom they support due to Ajimobi administration's failure to provide socio-economic facilities of

* free & compulsory education for our children
* free basic primary health care
* potable water for all
* cleaning gutters and clearing bush
* etc etc

Initiatives that will generate revenue & create massive employment down the line with an attractive and competitive investment climate.

Logically, the Oyo lawmakers approved the bill for Ajimobi to borrow the N50 billion last year.

OYO ASSEMBLY PASSES AJIMOBI’S N50B BOND BILL

THE Oyo State House of Assembly yesterday approved the request of Governor Abiola Ajimobi to raise N50 billion in the capital market for developmental projects in the state.

The lawmakers also granted the governor’s request to obtain a $56.24 million (about N8.5 billion) loan from the African Development Bank (ADB).

The requests, which were contained in two executive bills seeking an enabling law for the government to borrow from the capital market and the continental bank, were passed at a plenary sitting of the House yesterday.

Guardian

It is interesting to note that the TWO loan requests from the governor were approved by the lawmakers after "29-clause amendment to it before a two-thirds majority passed it into law" in October 2012. That was some three months after the infamous trip to London for the "training" of the lawmakers' wives.

Any more mugus from (or with links to) Oyo state you are simply On Your Own -OYO!

superior1: Jarus, so you aren't defending your friend on this, the guy must have dropped your hand big time then??.
What i find disturbing is the level of hypocrisy, asking Govt to caught expenses whereas flying allover the place on chartered flights to keep appointment with his mistress.

Of course HYPOCRISY probably is our greatest defining characteristic as Nigerians. Are we not deeply religious and champions of our ethnic and family groups

Hence SLS is being very much a typical Nigerian when he asks OTHER government agents and officials to CUT their expenses as long as he enjoys his own priviledges. How many Nigerian leaders have you not heard PUBLICLY criticising corruption and sometimes ACTING and PRETENDING as if butter cannot melt in his mouth? Just take a look at his assets and routine daily expenditure COMPARED to his legitimate salary and you will see the HYPOCRISY crystal clear.

Let us not forget the pastors and imams who are civil servants and private sector employees who live BEYOND their legitimate income and even go ahead to give tesimonies of God's goodness to them.

Kewt: Very sound analysis by Dele Momodu.

I am not a fan of his but i must say, he won my mind by this piece.

Kudos to him.

Read the article again and see how it is FINALLY devoted to Amaechi's VP rumours with a northern fulani president, then you may begin to understand.
Indeed kudos to the Ovation magazine publisher, he knows how to ride the tide of current events and milk it for his own benefit as others have.

utumunta: I pity the gullible masses that swallow whatever comes from these crop of self-appointed messiahs who pontificate over issues as if they are super human & have a solution to all our problems.
If we know what goes on behind the scene...only if we know...we would stone the ones that make the most noise about integrity cos they are the most guilty. At least, others have the conscience not to pretend or make others look bad.

Thanks for putting the generally dire situation we Nigerians find ourselves.
Your post reflects my stand against the impostors who pretend to be progressives while stealing just as well if not more from the people compared to the docile, dumb guys they consistently paint black and demonise as they chop up.

emiye: The New Gbagi market was built by Bola Ige , Governor of Old oyo state (1979-1983).

It seems LYING is such an integral part of the DNA for supporters of the group of scammers and fraudsters otherwise known as the Association of Conmen in Nigeria.
Otherwise how do you TRANSFORM the fact that late Bola Ige laid the foundation stone, as contained in the source link I provided earlier, into the LIE that he "built" the market.

Meanwhile, the foundation stone of the New Site was laid by Late Chief Bola Ige the Former Governor of Old Oyo- State in 1980s. Thus, during the tenure of Alh Lamidi Adesina as Governor of Oyo State, the Market was renamed after Chief Bola Ige. Then becoming "Bola Ige International Market".

Na real wa for una pretending progressives. You guys need to stop your LIES seriously. I have advised you severally but you seem immune to change for better and that is really a shame.

I guess I have to give up on any hope of REFORMING you guys from your LYING spirit and simply stiok to methodically exposing your LYING propaganda for what it clearly is.

Gbawe: Kai !!!! Illiteracy is a b1tch. You cannot even do simple addition and subtraction to note that you have only made a mockery of your own lack of sound education by arguing against yourself with the "80s" timeline you submit of your own free will. Do you not realise that if the market you claim was built in the 80s was built before 1983 then that would make the 30 years assertion absolutely correct? Dude, seriously you don't appear well to me. You lie, you make things up and you appear to see things that are not there. You need to chill.

Why are you clutching at straws like some drowning man in the open sea

You obviously missed the part of my post about New Gbagi market opened in 1989 and sellers relocated in 1991. Is that less or more than 30 years

So maybe you should stop jumping up & down in excitement.
I guess you must have noticed I ignore your rants and insults to enable us and those whom you are trying to befuddle focus on the real issues.

Garri the 1st: Ok son, its "LYING" not "LIEING".... Ok??

Thanks for pointing out my error. Just cross checked to take proper note.
Greatly appreciated.

texaco1: you should have noticed that i ignored him once he made that comment because definitely i knew maybe he was in primary school then when ibikunle was in pdp.
whenever ppl make duummb comments like that pls bro just ignore them.they think 2015 elections will be conducted on nairaland

My brother I would have loved to ignore him and others like him but the implication of the LIES they are spreading on younger folks who do not know is too dangerous.
We must dispel their misinformation propaganda as much as possible.
That is a service we owe to our communities.

emiye: This is reportedly the first major market that will be constructed in the ancient city in over three decades. The last market was constructed in 1980.

Why do ACN people have to embellish their shine, shine, shagbe l'oju yoyo projects with LIES
Could it be because they also know these "achievements" are medicore and must qualify it in a BOGUS way somehow?
There is the New Gbagi market on the Ibadan-Ife express road, which was later named Bola Ige market by then Governor Lam Adeshina

In 1989, during the tenure of Governor Abdul Kareem Adisa as Military Governor of Old Oyo State and the reign of Oba Yesufu Oloyede Ashanike as the Olubadan of Ibadanland, New Gbagi International Market was relocated from its old location in Ogunpa to its present site. This as a result of flooding that destroys and carried away their goods.
In 1991, sellers were motivated to vacate Ogunpa to the present site by Gov Adisa.

I also seem to remember that the Aleshinloye market that is located between Dugbe and Jericho was opened in the 80s but cannot remember the exact date.
These scammers in ACN really mean this their business of LIEING to the people!!!

jerseyboy: Nigerian is FINISHED. These governing elites criminally neglect the roads to death traps and then waste the people’s money on private jets and choppers. Of what benefit is the funeral of Ben Obi's mother to the people of Edo State? Nigerians are in acceptance of this and more numerous abuse of public trust and come here to argue about fees or no fees.

That Adams Oshiomole cannot drive a distance of 81 miles without putting the people's commonwealth to waste should be the outrage of all right thinking Nigerians.

My fellow compatriot, be rest assured that we will not bother if the man uses helicopter to even fly a distance of 30kms.
He is from the "progressive opposition" so anything is allowed. Oh, I forgot he is a comrade too.
We will simply celebrate his launching of road construction (even some of which are done by Jonathan's FG administartion), flower planting, market construction, heavy duty generator for tertiary institutions that suddenly become IPP etc at hyper inflated costs.

Was it not the other day everyone was going gaga over the Chief Imam of CBN, Sanusi Lamido using taxpayers' money to charter jets for his alleged love rendezvous.
Different strokes for different folks = HYPOCRISY!!!

skibochi: Well, the woman was actually given a choice to end the marriage....if she had real conviction that her husband was actually having this affair, she could have called it quit and the man can come running back to her for forgiveness if we eventually find that it is true.

Indeed she was given a choice but I imagine that since she probably has no real DIGNITY or capacity to earn money beyond whatever her husband gives her, she nor get choice but to swallow whatever pride she has and go down to beg the Aide.
Shameful!!!

Now those who their heads properly screwed will know that P-Square's baby mama who has been labelled as Ms. Independent is way better than all these I-must-marry-and-stay-married-at-all-cost penkelemesi women.

slimyem: Desola,kilode?If Ondo people are not complaining,why are you?

You don't know?
Try guessing with the following tips:

a) Ishakole (royalty from the state coffers for the oga on top)
b) Small, small contracts (including e-propaganda)for the foot soldiers based in Lagos.

etc etc.

Gbawe: Just seen the youtube video. Impressive. Let the haters of the ACN, including the lunatic who posts inappropriately in bold red font all over the place, come and spin this negatively. Let me guess "how does a modern and organised market benefit ordinary Nigerians".

Thanks for letting me know how effective I am in putting BIG holes to the balloon of LIES and propaganda that you ACN guys spout here and elsewhere.
What else could someone desire as encouragement for his chosen path. Again thanks!!!

BTW, are you talking about yourself as a lunatic seeing you also post in "bold red font" after HYPOCRITE-ically complaining a few weeks back for doing it

I should have known the stuff ACN guys are made of- HYPOCRISY!!!

REHOZIBAH: Trash talk! Who told u Ibikunle Amosun was ever in PDP? Dats ao u pipo jst say wat u dnt ever kno

4yr info Amosun,was hitherto in APP n ANPP

I jst laff wen u pipo as infantile as u re try 2 demystify Tinubu using a jaundiced prism of ethno-religious coloration

Does anyone know why ACN supporters are so prone to LIES, LIES and even more LIES
I guess it is no coincidence they have Mr. Lie Muhammed as their National spokeperson.
You guessed right, his main job is to tell LIES to the public.

Ibikunle Amosun was PDP's Ogun Central Senatorial district SINator (2003-2007) and was suspended for one month in 2005:

Nigeria: PDP Suspends Senator Amosun Over Abeokuta Clash

Abeokuta — THE Ogun State People's Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday clamped suspension on Senator Ibikunle Amosun from the party following Monday's clash between his supporters and the convoy of the Governor Olugbenga Daniel in Abeokuta.

Rising from an extended Executive Council Meeting in Abeokuta, the party said the suspension would last one month in the first instance pending the outcome of the investigations which the party's disciplinary committee has been mandated to carry out.

At this rate I may have to look out the window whenever a supporter of ACN says Good Morning.
You never know!!!

kaysy: I really need to walk up to the Governor and claim my cash cos in terms of entrepreneurial disposition, i think i've tried sha... Creating an online discussion platform for students and prospective students is not an easy task, very soon exam past questions will be integrated to the site for students at all levels... what do you think??

Please do and share the outcome with us here.
Best of luck.

[quote author=oche_ejemb]So Its a misplaced priority for all tertiary institutions to enjoy uninterrupted 24-7 power?[/quote]Yes it is a MISPLACED priority to buy heavy duty GENERATORS and pass them on to the gullible public as IPPs when you have so many PUBLIC primary schools in Lagos looking worse than this one in Surulere

https://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/613/285/61328559_640.jpg

and Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN cannot ensure that gutters (open drains) are cleaned and bushes cleared REGULARLY (by workers who are paid based on the 18k minimum wage not some scam "empowerment" 10k that is even delayed)to avoid annual flooding of Lagos streets even in supposedly posh areas like the one in the picture below:

https://www.newsinnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/flood5_500.jpg

You do not start building a house from the roof downwards, or do you

kunlekunle: Abeg that should be a project for one or two of those engineering graduates.
solar power, thier poo, or wind energy would do.

Fasola should not even bother paying anyone to do that, cos its a challenge on the students.

You obviously do not understand how government works in Nigeria. How will he get his own egunje if he does not "pay anyone to do that"
I see, you may have been carried away by that STORY of N1.5b research grant, right? My bro, abeg learn to read between the line make you for sabi how these poliTRICKians work! Mark this thread and come back on June 07, 2014 to review what has been done so far, ok?

I guess Eko Ile wants us to start singing Halleluja and Alhamudilalhi because supposedly smart Fashola WILL BE installing (future tense) very big generators for the tertiary institutions in Lagos at hyper inflated prices as usual.

Somebody shout Hallelujah to the people's governor

It matters not that so many primary and secondary schools in Lagos state are dilapidated, have no toilets or pipeborne water etc.
MISPLACED priorities.

Make salaries, allowances public, Falana tells senators, Reps

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana, said on Thursday that the public perception that members of the National Assembly were overpaid would not change so long as they did not disclose their full salaries and allowances.

Falana spoke at a ceremony organised by the House of Representatives in Abuja to mark the second anniversary of the 7th Assembly (2011-2013).

Speaking on the topic, ‘Public Perception of the 7th House of Representatives’, he expressed surprise that an appeal was entered against a Federal High Court decision that on the strength of the Freedom of Information Act 201, it was appropriate for lawmakers to disclose their pay package.

Falana, who advised that the appeal should be withdrawn, added that pursuing the case further would create the impression that there might be something to hide.

According to him, Nigerians had taken a cue from the declaration by Prof. Itse Sagay that their lawmakers were the highest paid in the world, a reason they pestered them with demands daily.

He said, “Disclose your salaries and allowances so that the secrecy surrounding it will become a thing of the past.

“This is the reason you are constantly harassed in your constituencies each time you visit them.

“It is called jumbo pay in the media.”

Falana observed that while the entire National Assembly and its bureaucracy budgeted N150bn for their operations yearly, a single agency in the executive arm, the Central Bank of Nigeria, budgeted over N300bn.

Other speakers at the event like Prof. Jonah Elaigwu and Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, commended the House for defending its independence in the last two years.

However, they asked the lawmakers to fight corruption by exposing their own members suspected to be corrupt.

A former Speaker of the House, Mr. Ghali Umar-Na’Abba, and President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Mr. Absulwaheed Omar, cautioned against the “new” trend of interferences with internal affairs of political parties

Punch

About time, if you ask me.

Obinnau: And the people that are stealing those monies, will be enjoying a cool meal with their family and think in their mind that they are James bond! Wicked leaders.

As long as they give TITHES and ZAKAT to their pastors/churches and imams/mosques they are PROTECTED.
Get it

ABRAHAM USIEKI: I feel so sorry for d man yara dua, he really is d best amongst all, even wit ill health he did his best.

Gowon is probably the best of the military HoSs given the fiscal prudence to prosecute the civil war and infrastrutures in various sectors as well as keeping the integrity of the civil service.

Guess it is obvious who is a source of embarrassment in the international community, basically an alchohol drinking militant always talking nonsense.

In short, the report cannot be correct. We will organise a protest in London, New York, Geneva, Paris even plus including Kabul sef.

But seriously, PHYSICAL infrastructure is not what makes a city competitive alone. Rather it is more the QUALITY of the HUMAN capital available ably supported by the infrastructure.
That is why I keep saying Fashola and the other ACN scammers are not getting it right by not focusing on free and compulsory education for our children while mphasisng quality vocational education with adequately MOTIVATED teachers.

Not forgetting pipeborne water and primary health care as well with feeder roads in good condition ALL over the place.

https://www.nairaland.com/52705/femi-pedro-resigns#1103517


If Pedro has indeed resigned then what Tinubu did is pure hypocrisy.

He could not tolerate a disloyal deputy but accuses OBJ of not tolerating Atiku that became a flag bearer of an opposition party and went on an all out attack on OBJ and PDP.

Nigerians like to comment on other peoples issues and offer advice but they never like people talking about their issues nor do they ever agree that they need advice.

This is a clear case of pot calling kettle black.

wellmax: ^^^
Sharrap,

Why?
You have problems dealing with the TRUTH about ACN or what

Does anyone remember Tinubu sacking his 2 Deputy Governors:

* Senator Kofoworola Bucknor – Akerele, the only elected Senator in the 1992 elections.
* Femi Pedro, who even resigned but the Asiwaju of Area Boys got his LASHA to impeach him still.

Compare to OBJoke who tried but could not sack Atiku in 2007.

Bloody HYPOCRITES in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN

Let me try to make this clearer for those who may have reading problems

tomakint: Idleness at its peak! Indeed, an idle mind is the Devil's workshop What are they protesting against?

* That Boko Haram have been caged now by Jonathan's government!
* That many foreign investors are trooping into the country creating many employment opportunities for youths!
* That their are massive rehabilitations going on at federal roads and new ones are being constructed!
* That Jonathan is going for 2nd term after rubbishing many works of past administrations within his 3years!
* That power sector has improved more than previous administrations!
* That Nigerian foregn reserve is improving and affecting lives!
* That many initiatives targeted towards youth employments is yielding results!
* That our railway system is now up and working well!
* That Jonathan gave women voices in his administration!
* That by December 2014, Jonathan's achievements will be equal to none since Nigeria came to be!

I can go on and on, but let me stop for other well meaning analysts in the house to add more! Whosoever is behind the sponsoring of these 'rented protesters' must be ashamed of himself or herself

coogar: look at these babies - whether they are yoruba, kanuri, nupe or ashanti, the judge still showed tribal bias. would he have condemned his fellow kinsman to death given the same circumstance?

answers on a postcard, please......

i like you coldfeet but you have the swag of an apple farmer.

Below is part of what you first posted.

an igbo judge sanctioning the death of a yoruba man without a substantial evidence.

In light of both of them being from Edo state, the proper, honourable thing for you to do is to take back the above portion of your post.

I do not think there is any need to further fan the fire of ethnic bigotry in this country or on NL, whether one is a baby or not.
What do you think
