Gibberish! I don't read junk!

Your problem..Makinde rogue

goslowgoslow:
I don't have time to read gibberish and epistle of Paul to the Romans. Keep arguing with your key board. Someone that thinks airport is just a building. Go to government house and fight Makinde. Have a good day.

No one has your time either, so stop embarrassing yourself by ranting about what you do not know and learn to exercise some restraint. Your desperation to defend the indefensible is becoming pathetic.

Let us stop pretending. This governor has increasingly behaved less like a public servant and more like a businessman using public office as an opportunity to expand his personal interests. While pointing accusing fingers at everyone else, his administration has left behind a disturbing trail of allegedly inflated and poorly executed projects, questionable priorities, unjustifiable borrowing, controversial land acquisitions and the disposal of government assets. If this is what you call governance, then the state deserves far better.The propaganda will not erase the records. You can scream, insult critics and manufacture excuses all you want, but public funds are not anyone's inheritance. Every naira borrowed, spent, transferred or committed in the name of this state should eventually be accounted for.

So let us wait for 2027. When there is a change of government, I hope the incoming administration has the courage to open the books and subject the entire eight-year administration to a comprehensive forensic audit, especially the loans, contracts, land transactions, government assets and projects that cannot withstand serious scrutiny. If everything was genuinely done in the public interest, there should be nothing to fear. But if public office was treated as a personal business empire, then accountability should be ruthless and unavoidable.

Your comment full of gibberish, ignorance and childishness. Is it only the building that makes up the airport?
Do you know what it cost to install modern equipment for the control tower, radar, instrument landing systems and other navigation systems,fire department, etc? To you the total cost is the building. Look at him sounding like a quantity surveyor.
All they do is to criticize without thinking.

Oyo people are not fools. You keep arguing as if saying “an airport is more than a building” automatically justifies ₦41 billion. It does not.

Yes, an airport requires much more than a terminal building. But let us look at the figures. For a modest modern airport, the major specialist facilities we discussed—control tower/ATC, CAT III ILS/DME, DVOR/DME, radar/surveillance, airfield lighting, weather system, fire and rescue, backup power, CCTV/security, communications and other aviation equipment—come to roughly ₦6.45 billion.

So the simple question is: how does what we can presently see justify ₦41 billion already spent, when the visible structure itself does not appear remotely close to ₦2 billion in value?

If you insist the ₦41 billion covers substantial runway, taxiway, apron, drainage, utilities and other completed works, then show Nigerians the BOQ, payment certificates, variations and percentage of work completed. Public money must be accounted for with figures, not insults.

And while you are explaining the airport, perhaps also explain the so-called terminal at Iwo Road. How much exactly did that structure cost? The amount has never been transparently presented to the public, and we can already see how rapidly the facility has deteriorated. At this rate, it risks becoming another neglected structure occupied by touts, hoodlums and political thugs.

If that facility was intended to generate revenue from road-transport activities, it could have been properly designed as a revenue-generating project, with the proceeds helping to maintain it rather than continually depending on taxpayers' money.

The airport must not become another expensive structure without corresponding economic value.

We are not against development. We are demanding value for money. If ₦41 billion has genuinely been spent, show us ₦41 billion worth of work. Publish the figures and let independent professionals verify them.

Let this fraudster continue deceiving the gullible people outside the state. After allegedly siphoning ₦50 billion from the Federal Government, he has apparently found yet another avenue to drain public funds.

Seriously, why should a state spend such an outrageous amount on a Federal Government asset? Anyone applauding this without questioning the figures is simply refusing to see what is right in front of them. Look at the project in that video and be honest: does it remotely look like a ₦2 billion project, let alone ₦50 billion, excluding the land, which already belongs to the government?

What exactly are we paying for? A few blocks, offices, staircases and casement windows? Our local engineers and contractors could execute this kind of project without anywhere near such an astronomical bill. This is how public money disappears: inflate the cost, parade the project before the cameras, and expect everyone to clap. And sadly, some people will defend it simply because they have chosen to worship politicians rather than question how their money is being spent.

Nigeria, my country. We keep wondering why we remain where we are, yet we continue to tolerate the same culture of impunity. Until those entrusted with public office are made to account for every naira they spend, these politicians will continue treating public funds as their personal inheritance.

Kukutente23:
You suddenly care about the masses
Show me when you've held the FG that controls most of our resources to the same standard of your rants

The only deduction in your defense his your governor is a scam. EFCC is warming up for the rogue. Already AAC has reported him and his cover will soon end. He is part of our problem, yet he is aspiring to be the president. He has no shame.

Kukutente23:
Have you asked for this level of accountability from your god or it is only reserved for Makinde

So you agree your governor is a failure and a scam to the masses. I am not an APC or Accord member. I have repeatedly written against them. Makinde is a greedy leader who should be jailed by the EFCC once he leaves office.

Keep fooling yourself with this nonsense post.

I am an Ibadan man, and let me tell you what happened yesterday. People came out to enjoy themselves. They came to dance to Taye Currency, Tiri Leather and the other musicians invited to the concert. The event was deliberately packaged with entertainment, music and political mobilisation. So please stop deceiving yourself that everybody who attended was there because of a governor. Ibadan people know how to enjoy themselves.

Since you want to turn a music concert into evidence of political popularity, then let us talk about the issues you conveniently don't want to discuss.

What exactly has this administration done for the ordinary people whose name it constantly uses in its propaganda?

The same government that keeps shouting “government of the poor” has been accused of forceful land grabbing through political allies. There are allegations surrounding the use of global Certificates of Occupancy to override existing titles and red-copy surveys issued under previous administrations. People have lost properties and investments, and some families have allegedly been pushed into unbearable financial and emotional hardship. If these allegations are false, then publish the documents and let the public see the truth.

And what about the alleged compensation paid to a property owner after the demolition of a fully completed luxury four-bedroom bungalow? If the reported ₦460,000 compensation is correct, how exactly can anybody call that justice?

Then come and explain the money.

Explain the ₦30 billion Bodija intervention fund. Explain exactly what was received, what remains in the account, what has been spent and what has been done for the victims. The government has its own explanation, but the questions are still there and the public deserves complete transparency.

Explain the reported ₦50 billion federal intervention approval and the difference between what was approved and what was actually released.

Explain the billions being spent on projects while ordinary people are being told there is no money.

Explain the two surveillance aircraft reportedly purchased for ₦7.7 billion. If that money was properly spent, publish the procurement documents, specifications, contracts and payment records. Let the people judge for themselves.

Explain Iwo Road. The excuse was that transport operators would be moved into a properly planned terminal to reduce congestion. Yet look at what is gradually happening around the area again. What was supposed to be a lasting solution should not become another abandoned or poorly managed government project.

And please, don't lecture anybody about caring for the poor while people are raising questions about land grabbing, government assets, procurement and the management of public funds.

What about the alleged ₦1 billion COVID expenditure? What happened to it? What was purchased? Who supplied it? What remains today? These are legitimate questions.

Ajimobi's hospital was built as part of an attempt to decentralise healthcare and reduce pressure on Adeoyo. Instead of simply preserving and improving the facility, the government converted it for COVID-related purposes and changed its name. Then came the governor's own COVID episode and all sorts of claims and counterclaims about what happened there. If everything was properly handled, publish the accounts and end the controversy.

And then there are questions about alleged overseas properties, including the much-discussed house in Texas. If that allegation is rubbish, let the evidence settle it. If it is true, Oyo people deserve to know how it was acquired.

This is exactly why Africa remains backward: we turn political entertainment into evidence of good governance while refusing to demand accountability from the people controlling public resources. Give people music, food, mobilisation and political speeches, and suddenly they are expected to forget everything else.

No.

A concert is a concert. A crowd at a concert is not an audit report. Musicians performing on a stage are not proof of good governance.

I am an Ibadan man. I know my people. Give them Taye Currency, Tiri Leather, Pasuma or any other popular artiste and they will come out to have a good time. Don't confuse entertainment with political approval. Yesterday's event itself was explicitly designed to combine entertainment with political mobilisation.

And to those defending this government blindly: stop insulting people's intelligence.

If you believe the allegations are false, open the books.

Show us the contracts.

Show us the procurement records.

Show us the land documents.

Show us the compensation records.

Show us the intervention accounts.

Show us the project costs.

Show us where the money went.

That is what serious governance looks like.

Not Fuji music. Not rented crowds. Not political slogans. Not propaganda.

The people of Oyo State deserve answers, not another concert.

A lebanese woman standing as Nigeria ambasador, all because she is married to a Nigerian. True citizens are suffering, politicians are playing the games.
