oluface: na u get ur mouth... say whatever u like... if u can achieve what this man has achieve ... u wont be here criticizing him... park well joooor

you mean his level of corrupt practices in lagos and SW in particular? NO NO NO i will pass on that kind of achievement am not aspiring to be corrupt like him.

SW watch out the few projects that were completed in the region recently was because Tinubu was out of circulation and the gov. were able to avoid paying thier monthly levy to oga hence projects were completed.

Now that Asiwaju is back govs. will start paying their levies and hence all projects will suffer neglect.

It may still drive but it will require more maintenance and will breakdown more frequently.

not to talk of a 23yrs old airplane.

obasanjo is a chicken he gave away our commonwealth for fear of a mere cameroun. with or without backing of france we should never giveaway our territory without a fight, doing otherwise is cowardice.

tomorrow benin republic will annex lagos and we will claim that the reason we did not fight to secure our territory was because france promised to level nigeria if we fight to hold on to lagos.

what a bunch of ba*sss

Is rauf demolishing one of the biggest high school in osun fakunle high school to build a shoprite mall under the guise of building a mega school of which he is progressingat a snails pace as only one mega school has been partially completed in 3 yrs?

Is rauf demanding that state refuse collectors only buy refuse dump trucks from his appointed Chinese supplier? as failure to comply ie buy from raufs agent will result in not being certified/approved to collect refuse in the state.

for more about the real rauf who wears the uniform of corruption if you want to know about him visit https://www.nairaland.com/1460387/aregbesola-massive-looting-osun-state/5

the introduction of the same uniform for schools is the highest level of scam I've ever witnessed in this state. lemme give u the analogy of how things are.

1. Mr gov promised to distribute uniform freely to the students.
2. He introduced the same uniform for all schools and claimed that it is because he want to safe few money from purchasing different uniforms for schools.
3. Sam and Sata produced the first set of uniform and they were truely distributed to students for free.
4. Schools are about to resume for another academic session and definitely students will need new uniform.
5. Mr Gov commissioned Omoluabi garment industry to be the one to produce the uniforms as u cant get it anywhere else in market except form government.
6. Looking closely at the Bill board of Omoluabi garment industry, u'll see sam and sata written there with very small font (will upload picture here tomorrow).
7. Mr Gov monopolized the uniform market and can do what we expect from a monopoly market,
8. He introduced money to the uniform as they will no longer be distributed for free.
9. with 900 naira before u can get a uniform for ur ward but Ogbeni's least price is 1,500.
10. sam and sata is afraid of joining the competition in free market and used the help of ogbeni to monopolize the market while they'll make maximum gain.

i believe u get it now.

1) Is Rauf appointing mostly lagos residence to political offices in osun as opposed to Osun resident? thereby undermining the state residence a chance to be close/contribute to the development in the state?

2) Is Rauf nepotistic by giving most state contracts to his family members ie opon imo to his son Kabiru and the state school uniform to his wife?with all its attendant fraud and inflation of contract sums?

3) Was opon imo awarded at N8.5billion for 3500 tablets out of which less than 600 has been distributed to students in the whole state ie about 200 opon imo per senatorial district while there are over 1million school kids in osun state.

4) Why is RATCOM a construction company with no pedigree ie no history of completing any project in the state or anywhere else the preferential contractor for raufs administration. what is raufs ties to RATCOM?

5) Why is rauf demolishing/merging schools instead of hiring more teachers/renovating schools?

6) Is the Abiola Airport, best western hotels and the host of other projects that rauf has just announced a pollitical gimmick to get votes next year ? for we know that the state cannot afford those projects with its meager allocation

In an era when governments are establishing new schools and hiring new
teachers, a supposed progressive governor like Aregbesola has been
closing down schools in the name of mergers. Many see his policy on
education as floored.

“By September a lot of things will be revealed in the education sector
because of schools that have merged. In my own home town, we had eight
secondary schools and the eight have been collapsed to two while a town
like Ikeji with four does not have any longer.

“The state government is doing this because it has no teachers for the
schools and instead of doing the reasonable, they have decided to merge
schools together, making an already bad situation worse. The state is
also having problems with constant strikes and bankruptcy, so they are
trying to reduce the workforce. It is an irony for a government that
claims progressive credentials and fraudulently projects performance, to
now have a school with a student population of over a thousand having
between 10 to 15 teachers.

"A visit to Osogbo, the Osun State capital will reveal a town whose
economy has been brought to its knees as economic activities are near
paralysed because of the policies and actions of the state government.
Besides the demolition of shops and houses along the road where citizens
make a living, every other avenue that could have boosted economic
activities in the state are said to have been effectively blocked.

A source confided in Paparazzi magazine that the state government as a
matter of practice does not patronize Osun State based contractors or
suppliers. “All the jobs in the state are handled by people from outside
the state. If you hope to join them, you must first relocate to Lagos
and now make your way back to Osun to join them. These are people who do
not believe in anything Osun yet they want to control our lives".

Gov. Rauf in a school uniform scam! he is wearing a uniform that is embroiled in a fraud

......"Even tailors and school uniform sellers are not left out in the
economic strangulation. The governor came out with a policy that all
schools owned by government should be wearing the same uniform and these
sellers started selling the fabrics and the tailors off course were
making a living out of that. But suddenly, he established what he called
Omoluable garment factory under his wife and stopped students from
patronizing people outside. So a uniform that goes for N800 outside now
sells for N1,500 from the garment outfit. The fabric sellers and the
tailors lost business to the governor’s wife. And you say you have the
interest of the people at heart."........

recently renovated class room block @ st vincent school oron and the recently renovated state library branch @ udotung ubo

new class room blocks

yetunsbay: boss honestly if we are to vote today for governorship post today. Who do you think will win? u know d ansa

this is not about elections its about alleged fraud by the govt of rauf. do you have a fact based response to the allegations or not.

nice one dangote! but 1000 bed hospital for 2billion naira? i think that's a typographical error.

olaezebala: I'll advice u stay away from this thread cause dey'll leave facts and attack u instead. That's what they do best.

Imagine that one coming here with photoshoped picture of mega school with grasses around it. Is that salvation Army in Alekuwodo cause that's the only completed mega sch?

Olaezebala thank you for your good work in exposing the fraud that going on in Osun state. you effort in taking pictures is not in vain because without this evidience this his sycophants/corrupt stakeholders like Gwabe will keep on protecting these fraud. a picture speaks more than a thousand words.

keep up the good work, this is how to keep the govt. honest. The duty of a good citizen is to hold its govt accountable without which the govt will go beserk. thank you olaezebala for your good work.

Is rauf demolishing one of the biggest high school in osun fakunle high school to build a shoprite mall under the guise of building a mega school of which he is progressingat a snails pace as only one mega school has been partially completed in 3 yrs?

Is rauf demanding that state refuse collectors only buy refuse dump trucks from his appointed Chinese supplier? as failure to comply ie buy from raufs agent will result in not being certified/approved to collect refuse in the state.

Gwabe and other stakeholders of argbesola rauf , no one is saying that building of mega school is wrong. of which you have agreed that only one has been completed in 3yrs at this pace everyone who is not biased knows he will not be able to build enough schools for the 1million + school age kids in osun.

The common sense approach would be to renovate+ add more new classroom blocks in existing schools rather than demolish those schools. The picture evidence above proves that fakunle school just require some minor renovations that will cost less than a new mega school. the renovation of existing schools does not prevent rauf from building his mega schools. At new locations.

This will be the best decisionAmaechi has taken since he resume his second term mandate, its a welcome development bye bye Amaechi, hope u will respect the constituted athourities in APC.

[quote author=A-ZeD]I don't live in Osun and i don't know the answer to your question. My point was building more schools doesn't necessarily translate to improved quality.[/quote]ok got your point. osun definitely needs new schools but not to the detriment of the old ones. the problem is not his building new schools of which only a couple has been completed, the problem is demolishing the old schools instead of refurbishing and adding more classroom blocks to existing schools.

rauf can commission the new schools and play to the gallery with it and at the same time refurbish the old ones thats the point, since we all know he is not going to be able to build enough new schools to carter to over 1million + students even if he spends 100yrs in office.

Gbawe: Don't mind these hypocrites who play politics with everything shamelessly and with total dishonesty. With the education sector, where Aregbesola is adjudged a star performer beyond Party lines, should we assume any of these ungracious critics know more than Senator Chukwumerije who is a PDP senator and chairman of the Senate committee on education? Some people should be ashamed of themselves yet this is Nigeria where many are still very evil and we even still see ALUU-style lynching daily so I am not surprised to see lies flying around and supported fervently.

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2012/10/chukwumerije-hails-aregbesolas-education-policies/

WHen the likes of chukumerije sings your praise then know you are very corrupt and in trouble. chukumerije is not a credible nigerian

[quote author=A-ZeD]This is another question that is 'tricky'. One quality always trumps quantity. So building more schools and hiring more teachers does't necessarily mean increased quality of education and that's one of the problems of Nigeria. (in)Sincere Nigerian goes about claiming that one of the achievements of GEJ is the building of more universities but today, ASUU is on strike and the only thing the more universities will do is produce more half-baked gradutes. I can't say that is Rauf's reason for doing what he is doing, i just wan't you to tackle Rauf on quality not quantity.[/quote]Good observation do you know the number of model/mega schools rauf has built in OSUN and the number of schools demolished/mearged?
1/4 of the amount that is proposed to be used in building i unit of model school if put into renovating+ adding more blocks to fakunle school marked for demolision will be 100x better than any new model school rauf will ever build and also more cost effective.

kaze4blues: Using osogbo as case study because that is where I leave, modern mega schools are now under construction with most almost completed all through osogbo.

Although it is true that scholls are been merged together, but it is in the interests of the students because hitherto those students receive lectures in filthy environments with most of their classrooms dilapidated and unconducive. But now they are transferred to newly built classrooms which gives them more comfort.

Also the distribution of opon imo is being done on daily basis in different zones of the state and by november it will be completed.

Healthcare has also been given a boost by aregbesola. I went to the state general hospital @ asubiaro few weeks back and I must confess there were improvements in the delivery of services compared to the past. There are now sufficient doctors and nurses on ground to attend to patients. Drugs are also now available.

What more can I say.....the opposition will always find faults with aregbe's tenure.


Aregbesola is indeed god-sent to osun after 7 years of pdp under-performance

good observation and thank you. do you think that this might be another imported idea from the lagos based osun commissioners/SA? the fact that mega schools work in lagos because of its sheer size/population does not mean that that is what osun state wants!

A school compound as we all know brings a sense of belonging and ownership to the community which helps shape a childs sense of identity better than any mega schools where student get lost in the crowd.
Ogbeni school reform is a welcome idea but the way he is going about it is not in the interest of the majority of the communities in osun as they see this as disenfranchising thier communities by pulling down/demolishing their community institution ie schools. a saner method would have been to renovate those school blocks insitu and hire more teachers to teach there where both the teachers and the local communities where everyone knows whose kid you are will help mould good character, rather than demolish the schools and send the kids to mega schools where the kids are strangers, did you bother to ask how many miles the kids now have to walk to schools? as oposed to the schools that was in their communities? or how they feel going to school in different community/environment?

How many of this mega schools have been built in the state and are we to send 1million kids to a couple of model school? how practical is that compared to the common sense approach of renovation + construction of new classroom blocks in existing school.

common sense in education reform should not be sacrificed on the altar of playing to the media gallery of posing with a picture of a couple of commisioned mega schools which will not and cannot cater for the 1million school kids.

stop importing lagos ideas and administration into osun what works in lagos may not work in osun!

eGureilla: Nowhere has it ever been reported that the tablet will be distributed to 1 million students, so you clearly need to maintain a sense of proportion here.

I have questions of my own regarding the durability of these tablets and also the possible long-term effects on the health of users.

Had your inquiry focused on the estimated 63,000 Naira per unit cost, which supposedly includes the cost of licensing e-copies of text books, I suspect your concerns might have found probable allies - 63,000 X 150,000 = N9.45 billion.

Thank you for attempting to enlightening us, but this is just what rauf said do you have proof? ok he ordered 150000units how many has been released to the students does this number stackup against the over 1million school age kids in osun?

kaze4blues: I strongly admonish Gbawe and other sensible people here to desist from arguing with these useless people denigrating the personality of ogbeni aregbesola.

I live in osogbo.

Only a fool will compare the performances of aregbesola under 3 years with those of oyinlola under 8 years.

Oyinlola's tenure was marred by failure, oppression and so on.
only few roads were constructed during the time of oyinlola with several others not completed.

Oyinlola borrowed about $18bn to found the construction of 6 stadia in the state but up till now no single stadium is on ground.

Old garage-ikirun road dualisation is almost complet under 3 years of aregbesola.
Other roads that are completed and been used presently used include fagbewesa road, isale aro road, gbodofon road, fiwasaye-tanisi road, gbeja okebaale road, awosuru alekuwodo road, housing-tinumola road and so on with several others under construction.

All these roads were in bad shapes during oyinlola tenure but they were left undone.

Its been three months now since I've been back to osogbo from school.
Throughout these 3 months, there has been constant water supply which didn't happen before during oyinlola tenure.

Anyone that lives in osun state and say aregbe is under-performing is been biased.

I lived in osogbo throughout the 7 years of oyinlola so I know the different between the two governors.
Aregbesola may not be the best....BUT he is by far better that oyinlola/pdp in terms of achievements in office.

We are not talking about oyinlola here. Hes is nolonger the governor and for good reasons like what you have pointed out. the issue is RAUF the current governor!!! If you think he has done well the challenge is to list those achievement ie completed projects by rauf not media hyped' initiated/started' projects? can you do that?
your kindergarten approach to derail the thread will not work.

Stakeholders am forced to bring this question back as non of you has attempted to provide answers to them

Gwabe if you or any of the stakeholders want to show that you are credible sources, rather than use big big words to cover rauf corruption as raised by the original poster please answer this allegation that he raised with facts not sentiment/big grammar:

1) Is Rauf appointing mostly lagos residence to political offices in osun as opposed to Osun resident? thereby undermining the state residence a chance to be close/contribute to the development in the state?

2) Is Rauf nepotistic by giving most state contracts to his family members ie opon imo to his son Kabiru and the state school uniform to his wife?with all its attendant fraud and inflation of contract sums?

3) Was opon imo awarded at N8.5billion for 3500 tablets out of which less than 600 has been distributed to students in the whole state ie about 200 opon imo per senatorial district while there are over 1million school kids in osun state.

4) Why is RATCOM a construction company with no pedigree ie no history of completing any project in the state or anywhere else the preferential contractor for raufs administration. what is raufs ties to RATCOM?

5) Why is rauf demolishing/merging schools instead of hiring more teachers/renovating schools?

6) Is the Abiola Airport, best western hotels and the host of other projects that rauf has just announced a pollitical gimmick to get votes next year ? for we know that the state cannot afford those projects with its meager allocation

Gbawe: This is what shows that many of you are 'disturbed' and totally consumed with hate. You have quoted a post which actually has a link that shows you "completed projects" yet you show boneheaded id1ocy and a total devotion to being unreasonable by asking the crap you do above. This is why, unfortunately, people like you should not be taken seriously. You have no interest in confronting let alone acknowledging the truth because of innate bias and prejudice.

You mean the opon imo? thats what that article was about. here is the fact Rauf released N8.5billion for 3500 units of opon imo to his son kabiru which on its own is very controversial interms of cost/nepotism.

but the problem is of the 3500 units ordered only 600 units has been released in the entire state ie 200 units per senatorial district and there are over 1million school age kids in osun state. hence i classify Opon imo project as a media hyped initiated/ started project untill all the 3500units of opon imo is released and concrete plans are on grounds to provide for the remaining 996,500 + school kids.
