It took you one full day of research to respond to my previous post or did you lack mb? No worry na the economy cause am abi?

Was GEJ president in the eighties when the likes of Shagari and Co were taking our oil wealth or was he in power when Abacha stole billions of dollars, was GEJ in power when Babangida was amassing wealth for his generation yet unborn or was he the governor of Lagos state when oga Tinubu was placing his family members in key positions?

Nigeria was created in 1960 since then which government has not had its own share of supposed looters?

GEJ is your problem because he is from a minority tribe. They own the oil but do not get to decide how oil from their fatherland is used. Well done, right now billions of dollars is being used to explore oil in the North, what happened to SW and SE? Una try

i have businesses to attend to and it takes nothing to respond to your biases.
now that i got you in a tight corner, your best bet is to go wide and wild like an illiterate market woman trying to create some scenes by lumping everybody into the effect of GeJ CLUELESSNESS? So because previous administrations messed up, the subsequent ones should take us to hell ? are u kidding me? didnt we condemn Shagari? maybe you forgot that a MOHAMMADU BUHARI booted Shagari out and had put Dikko in crate to be brought in from the Uk to chagrin of the world? didnt we condemn IBB, ABACHA, AND OBJ for our woes? so we shouldnt talk about GeJ , BECAUSE? with the immensity of influence that Godhas blessed him with, is Tinubu really using the power for selfish purposes? i challenge to name 1 Nigerian alive that is as democratic as Tinubu and has paid so much price for the survival of democracy like Numero Uno politico, detribalized, foresighted, astute men-manager strategist Jagaban of Nigeria?

He has paid his dues. The first Ondo State governor to serve his two terms. It's not easy. The people deserve to make a choice in the election but that is not cutting down Mimiki. He's still the best governor of all time in Ondo State. You should go and be something too.

IM sure I'M BUSIER THAN YOU. for folks who know me here would tell you how many beats i maintain involving agribusiness,mining and development issues. so your shade missed road........yea 1st governor to serve 2 terms if you erase Pa Ajasin records cant measure up to Adefarati's performance . Not allowing him install his stooge is cutting him pretty down to size because Mimiko's life depends on the outcome of the November election.....as far Nigeria is concerned ,i have a stake and wont be bordered by a little , fickle mind like you. For your info, we voted for Mimiko and we would vote against his candidate come Nov. Besides what are you doing on NL?, mtchew!

Pidggin:
One thing I have noticed with many educated Nigerians is that we fail to research. This is why propaganda is being used to deceive people. Besides payment of subsidy which Buhari claimed did not exist, roads were built, railway stations were revived, aviation sector experienced a boom, contacts were awarded to expand ports like the one in Calabar etc

Among all the so called looters you mentioned who among them has been convicted? Deziani who you mentioned has been aquitted and case closed.

When Madam NOI was urging us to save the likes of Amaechi were threatening to take FG to court if ECA was not shared

When GEJ wanted to bomb Boko Haram Buhari said an attack on them is an attack on the North

The same North that gave GEJ ultimatum to bring back our girls is supporting this present government even after over a year of promio

With all the investigate journalism going on why has the wasted trillions as you claim not been unraveled or traced to GEJ's foreign account?

You can't bring a good man down

research? .....welcome Mrs research fellow! no be only research because na atomic chemistry issues na im we dey discuss, we go even go university to find out if:

9. Yes, we need to do some research on weather GEJ really said ' stealing isn't corruption' or it is our imagination that made up stories to discredit the shoe-less boy from Otuoke whom we had earlier fought the cabal for.....
10. THAT part of the $40M has not been seized few days ago from GEJ'S cousin Robert Aziboala..... maybe you can tell me how he got the money;

ECA was illegal but prove me wrong......and where is the savings from the 52% that accrued to the FG under GEJ that was preaching save to a better educated Amaechi?
So let us assume PMB said that lie you ipobs like to sell to us, that was why GEJ now allowed the arms fund meant to fight BH be plundered by Dasuki and co as campaign funds? JESUS CHRIST!
Foremost,i think we very well need a research on how you manage to think the way you think with deliberate awesome amnesia . Madam Research!

Mimiko has never been about commissioners... He's Iroko

and we shall cut the recalcitrant tree down come November.......then he would realise there was once an Agagu, Adefarati, and presently a disgraced Mimiko( Ebola) .... and how ephemeral power can be.

Pidggin:
Haha even his detractors agreed that out of the so called 51trillion, 12 trillion was given to the ND region as derivatives . The report you quoted then questioned the use of 35 trillion remaining funds.

Now let me ask you, was subsidy being paid on petroleum products or not during this period? Buhari claimed there was nothing like subsidy yet he increased fuel price from N87 to N145

Were capital projects not being implemented?

Was this not the reason why our economy grew and remained stable during the time and was our budget not being funded?

Mediocres will always look for who to blame, keep blaming posterity will judge.

please tell us what capital projects GEJ executed vis - a vis the revenue he got? how does the $12 b ,if it were true, said to have been given to militants, most of which ended in private pockets while GEJ clapped on the way PMB seems to be clapping for Danbaza presently, affect the lives of the common man on the street? Won't a standard refinery in Otuoke, a petrochemical company in Nembe or an awesome fish farm with net cages along River Ethiopie e.g in Oghara and several many possible more with private -public partnership involvements have benefited the ordinary man on the ND streets? No, IB couldn't even evolve reforms that would have sealed him an extra four years no matter whose ox is gored but rather, he submitted our mandate to rogue elite as epitomized by Dasuki, Deziani, FFk, etc while the minister for coordinating wetin sef started telling us to prepare for worse days ahead especially in 2014 while she let her confederates in plundering into our coffers to unleash the greatest heist on this nation .
Now that the seeds of GEJ's irresponsibilities ,cos we didn't vote for Dasuki n co to whom he submitted his government the way PMB seems to be submitting to Dogara now, is ripe for all to see you don't want us to talk about it.
So the N4.2 billion shared by Fayoshe , obanikoro and co has no effect on the economy? won't that have been a buffer from the external reserve or something? and you are saying we shouldn't talk about? or how do we talk about it without mentioning the man who let the thieves in? ha we can blame Obj, Hausa people but not GEJ who refused to implement UNEP report on Ogoni? are u kidding me?

When you head a business or a family, you can practice mono- economy and allow the profit therefrom be looted by a few persons during bumper season and give excuses during tough times.

Apart from that singular historic phone call, GEJ was a total heartbreaker!

Allah tameke Ganduje!

Is this your first time of vaccinating them when they start dropping eggs? I learnt that when you vaccinate laying birds especially when you "deworm" them, there will be a slight in egg production but, will later return to normal production after 3-4 days.


Alakara, Babacele.

you are right hence u must administer vitamins immediately after giving vaccines or dewormers to help the birds.

maclatunji:
It is very simple, you cannot be conniving against the progress of Nigeria and effectively benefit from it.

This concept is not alien to you because a large part of your population are spread outside the Southeast and you behave well enough to be accepted as fellow Nigerians.

However, when it comes to national politics, you simply have consistently failed to be circumspect. Let me give you an example, Igbos were the noisiest in supporting the misrule of Goodluck Jonathan as President for 5 years. In that period, you failed to encourage him to build Nigeria, worse still to help develop your region that is ravaged by underdevelopment.

Now, that the man you majorly do not support is in power, you are encouraging subversion and beating the drums of war.

How then can you be political relevant in Nigeria? You cannot and will not be.

Oh, I forgot, you are fighting for Biafra. It would have been fun to allow you have it but you would mess that up and still want to eat from the rest of Nigeria like you currently are.

Sorry, you will not be able to eat your cake and have it. So, the choice is yours, become progressive in your political outlook or remain backwards in Nigeria.

You can make all the noise you want on the Internet, it won't change facts on ground.

Respect to my enlightened and sophisticated Igbo friends, you will forgive me ffor addressing your politically-unsophisticated brethren, making too much noise in Nigeria.

Sir, many of these misinformed ipobs are the real enemies of ndigbo. all the tribe especially the Yoruba and even Hausa Fulani brought Jonathan to power. all the tribes all were in PDP and when it was time to abandon the sinking ship, my people decided to own it and thus inherited the karma attached ..........but Notable Igbo sons and daughters could see beyond the immediate filthy lucre and have paid the price of being politically correct this time around. Okorocha, On, Ngige etc. When the presidential ambition beckons post 2019, we shall launch them because we can trust them. God bless Ndigbo, God bless Nigeria.

I tire for this egbon Tunji self, at his age he don suppose leave gubernatorial polls for small small pikin dem.

no sane Edo person go pray for PDP to rule the state. Hear Prof Osunbor:

Osunbor who was also an aspirant in the APC primaries that produced Godwin Obaseki as the candidate of the party, described Obaseki as a governorship material who can be trusted with the development of Esan Land. According to him, the third reason why we should vote for Mr. Godwin Obaseki is that PDP is against the development of Esan Land because all those that removed the Esan Leader Ambrose Ali from power as the Governor of Edo State were all members of the PDP. We must not vote the PDP because it was the People’s Democratic Party that marginalized the people of Esan Land. He emphasized the role that Anthony Anenih played in ensuring that Edo Central did not produce a governor. He warned against voting for a political cabal who has vowed that Esan Land will not develop.

I have never seen any of his posters.

no mind Barrister Tunji ,he thinks being a governor naa wishful thinking. He comes out once in a long while to make some correct noise which gives people hope of a rallying point only for him to disappear leaving the people hungry. Nature abhors vacuum. Ajayi Boroffice, Alasoadura, Segun, Olusola Oke , Aketi etc have been more visible than with the grassroots than all these lightweights looking for undue relevance.

What an epic reply! Tunji can't even win the delegates votes from his local government apart from Okeagbe his town not to talk of the whole State. He and Agunloye are just wasting their time for Boroffice is our candidate from Ondo North. Segun Abraham even better pass the two. After every elections they disappear and abandon the flock they are supposed to tender only to resurface when elections are around the corner. support ko , mandate ni. ,All of them are just jealous of sombori 's intimidating profile jor that will give Eyitayo Jegede Mimiko some bloody nose come November. God bless Jagaban.

DickDastardly:
Why not characteristically reduce it to 6yrs of GEJ. Minions will remain minions

of course minions would choose to remain minions even when reality stares them in the eyes. The lifeblood of any economy is finance which ordinarily means money. So when you drain a body like Nigeria of her blood n share some in 'soakawys', foreign accounts, illegal properties etc as inflicted by previous administrations especially the one that made so much more from oil sales won't such economies experience shocks and dizziness?
1. Where are the diversification projects touted by the GEJ administration or has Buhari stopped any? please mention.
2. These economic shocks started under GEJ . True or false?
3. Okonjo Iweala started warning the nation to prepare for worse days ahead since 2014?
Charles Soludo ,Oby and other eminent Nigerians were forced to confront the profligacy of that administration.
4. Money meant for development were massively looted under GEJ. True or false? so what usually are the consequences of projects which funds are looted? development? stability? mention such places please.
5. oil prices all over the world have fallen ,and sensible economic managers would weigh the centrifugal and centripetal economic models and practices to see how they can organically adapt them to local environment for optimum advantage and development. So what steps you would have PMB take that he isn't taking or mistaking.
Nigeria is greater than either of us all ,let us give our sincere attention no matter how little please.

DamiBukola:
Just shut up your mouth. Did PDP ruled Edo State for 13yrs? Lucky ruled for 8yrs and Osunbor who is now an APC man ruled for 1 &1/2yrs. Is dat 13yrs as you any brainless Oshiomhole are claiming? u think because fools voted for them last year we will continue to be fooled at all times?

you are so disrespectful..... just read the article word for word A to Z before you spew trash that may leave u ashamed at the end of the day. so go read first...

Edo guber: Rep. Iriase blames Igbinedion over plight of pensioners Lucky Igbinedion


Deputy Chief Whip, House of Representatives, and member representing Owan Federal Constituency of Edo State, Hon. Pally Iriase, has blamed the current problem being faced by pensioners in the state on the premature retirement of thousands of civil servants by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led administration in the state under Governor Lucky Igbinedion. Igbinedion was governor of the state from May 1999 – May 2007. Hon. Iriase who said he was angered by the falsehood being peddled by the PDP governorship campaign team, saying, “I was the Deputy Speaker in the state House of Assembly and I knew all that transpired then”. “There were certain things that I heard recently which I would have loved to engage my friend (Pastor Ize-Iyamu) on, so that they either expunge them from their campaign talks or state the facts as they are. “I heard Ize-Iyamu is accusing the Oshiomhole’s government of destroying the civil service. Nothing could be further from the truth, nothing could be worse than an attempt to stand the truth on its head or to re-write history. “If anything, it was the PDP government that nearly annihilated the civil service in Edo State. “Another point he has made is that this government is to be held responsible for running down the educational system. “That is also another big and terrible lie. Now, talking about the civil service issue, there is no way that we can forget that in 2001, the then PDP government, in which Ize-Iyamu was very influential, decided that the best way to handle paucity of funds and inability to pay salaries, was not only to downsize but also to tinker with the long standing Pension Act. “The Pension Act had said that for the civil service, you are either 55 years old then or you had served 35 years in service, whichever one came first until recently when it was raised to 60 years”, he said.

Open Letter To Governor Lucky
Igbinedion – by Air Iyare
His Excellency,
Chief Nosakhare Igbinedion,
The Executive Governor,Edo State.
Ekhator Street,
Egor Quarters,
Benin City.
2nd April, 2002.
Your Excellency,
WHITHER EDO STATE?
1. A year after my five open-
letters to you, I am out with yet
another one for three reasons:
(a) If I had not spoken out last
year, Ikpoba brook would by now
have gulped over N2 Billion.
Thank you
for canceling that project. (b) In
your recent EBS TV interview, Mr.
Tunde Ebozogie fired his first two
hot questions thus - * "Your
Excellency, are you aware that
your government is unpopular"?
* "Your Excellency, is your state
broke"?
Your reply was that you were not
aware that your government was
unpopular and that the state was
not
broke. I quite sympathize with
your answers because the same
Tunde's EBS TV would not air
contrary view to that of your
government. Rather, it will
continue to manufacture jingles of
lies extolling your popularity,
achievements and virtue to the
high heavens.
(c.) This letter is "opened" to
assure the public that the N5
million and two Mercedes Benz
cars they claimed you sent to me
last year to silence me, have not
yet arrived my Egor residence.
When they finally arrive, I will go
to the Ring road to distribute the
money to the public because
having N5million will make me
develop hypertension and
possibly end up with cardiac
arrest.
2. Your Excellency, when
government is looking for N7
Billion to borrow to off-set salary
arrears of workers and
pensioners, that government is
broke. When Professors, lecturers
and workers of Ambrose Alli
University have not received their
salaries for six months now; when
secondary school teachers have
not been paid for four months;
when civil and public servants
have not got salaries for three
months; when
pensioners are owed over N5
billion, your government is broke.
Moreso when your government is
not in
possession of the Philosopher
Stone that turns everything to
gold.
3. In spite of my advise in my
letter to you dated 26th March,
2002, that the state's money
should not be
recklessly spent according to your
fancy, you have continued to
squander the state's money on
white
elephant projects, especially
sports. Confucius warned that "he
that will not economize will have
to
agonize" Frugality is founded on
the principle that all riches have
limits. Frugality is the daughter of
prudence; the sister of
temperance and the father of
good governance. A good
management of the state
economy is an interplay of many
variables. It is calculation
realized; it is the doctrine of
proportion
reduced to practice, it is
foreseeing contingencies and
providing against them; it is
expecting
contingencies and being prepared
for them.
4. But Your Excellency, have
thrown all economic theories to
the wind. You spend more than
what you
get. You eat up all you have
today, hoping that God will
provide for tomorrow. Plutarch
once warned
rulers that "that man who first
brought ruin on the Roman Empire
was he who pampered it by
largesse's and amusements". The
economic virus plaguing your
government today was anticipated
when I pleaded with you, in my
letter dated 26th March,2001, ..... www.DAWODU.com

Mboi:
Answer the three questions I asked you, stop displaying high level of ignorance. If you were still too young as at 1998, go ask your father.

now I need to upgrade you from your ignorance or deliberate mischief which may harm your future and that of your children in the wrong choices you willingly deceptively make. Read my replies below carefully before answering . For they are public documents that expose your PDP shamelessness for a decade in Edo .

Mboi:
Mr man, address the issue, stop beating about the bush. As a matter of fact you don't have any point to back your claims. Go and ask about Lucky Igbinedion and salary issue in Edo state during his tenure. What Oshimole said that since 1998 till he came in the former did not pay even one single month pension to pensioners it is a lie! Go and get your facts right before arguing blindly. Secondly I asked u before and will ask you again, was PDP in power in 1998? Edo state sacked N7000 workers unjustly, what was total workforce of whole Edo state? Do you reason with your anus? Your so called Buhari is making things difficult for you and ur fellow Zombies everyday, taking Nigeria 50 steps back and dead brains like you are here due to hunger believing cheap lies by Oshimole.

You are pathetic and lie easily. which Lucky Igbinedion? Majority of Edo people voted PDP out because of the lackluster performance of Lucky...the Onus is on you Mr wailer to counter Oshiomole ,the official voice of Edo as at today, that he didn't pay pension arrears of 10 years. You choose to believe the 4 years arrears story but not the 10 years n 7,000 workers' own because it does not serve una rubbish campaign. Hypocrisy and it amounts to nothing! All una propaganda na dead on arrival as nobody go allow PDP again in Edo not after 10 years of ruins in the midst of fat allocation to the state. I'm repeating it that we are not wailers who are the real zombies still pained by the loss of IB. Despite the fact that Buhari is better, if he doesn't do well we go tell am. PDP and NOT Buhari put us in all these mess. PDP? Naaaaaa!

Mboi:
You failed to answer me first, what he could not do in 8yrs can he do it in 1month? Get some sense. Since you believed one man to make one dollar to one naira, believed same old man when he said he will regulate crude oil price, of course you also believed for 8yrs the former did not pay even one month pension in Edo state before Osho came in. Was PDP in power in 1998? The chief propaganda in the person of Oshimole has been deceiving Zombies since 2008.

wailers na the real zombies. It is not your wish or what you but a reality under a PDP government that ruined Edo for 10 years before the reformer - Adams Oshoimole - that pensioners were owed without any hope of being paid. That interview is an indictment of PDP which they lack the balls to answer. Did Oshiomole meet 13 years unpaid pension arrears? Yes. Did he pay the unjustly sacked 7,000 workers by PDP ? Yes.
Can PDP deny ? No because there are records . So what is it that he could not do in 8 years when he cleared 13 years debt he knew nothing about? If Buhari doesn't do well ,we go tell am because we are not ipobs whose sense of judgement have been damaged. Nigeria and not Buhari is more important to us for he is just a messenger. Una PDP do well na im we bring Buhari?No to PDP in Edo!

Mboi:
That is the issue we are complaining of. Our able youths cannot make use of their common sense. So paying part of pension arrears and still owing about four years arrears and you called it "only four years" is an achievement to you. Do you people have sense at all? Oshimole lacks human sympathy, that's the point here. Same way he asked a widow to go and die. If a man is collecting N35k as pension every month, do u know what four years will amount to? What he could not achieve in 8years he's telling you he'll achieve in one month and you believe? Oh sorry.

how many years pension arrears were being held before Oshiomole came? and if you had read the interview, did he say he would pay or not? which party was in power but refused to pay before Oshiomole came , Mr intelligent youth? answer me ooo.

so Mboi how market?

“So, I accepted the fact that government is a continuum. “So, as we speak today, we have paid all those who pensioned in 1998 and 1999, all the ones they dismissed in 2000 and those who retired from 2001, 2002, 2003 up to 2011. “So, I have paid pension arrears of 13 years even though I have been in government for only seven years plus.’’ The governor, who maintained that having cleared 10 years pension and gratuities arrears, assured that his administration would settle part of the outstanding four years pensions before handing over power to a new government. (NAN)----- Adams Oshiomole ,the Executive Governor of Edo State.

Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State says his administration is owing only four years of unpaid pensions after settling [b]nine years pensioners’ entitlements[b]. hmmm Ipobs, spits !
