Secondly, all these your lies about aregbe spending on lagos politics, slapping etc are basically what it is, LIES. As long as u have refused to back it up with verifiable facts that can't be disputed, they remain lies,
I won't be silly to read such and still give my support to him. It goes beyond u saying it. Till then, enjoy using your mouth to say whatever.

@ Beaf, why don't you ask your militant brothers what the damages and defeat inflicted on them by the army and their "WW2" weapons? Better still, why don't u take on the army yourself? Afterall, their weapons shouldn't scare you.

Demdem:
First and foremost, the tribune is a useless mouth piece of that leaking umbrella. Ojo Williams is also a useless man. Don't trust his words so will have to corraborate it elsewhere.
However, concerning the workers salary, from this same useless report it seems the govt is just owning just October. One freaking month, so why the alarm? Abegii, this is not a issue at all. Come back with salary story when he owes them 3months and above. We all live and knows what is applicable in this retardeen led country of ours. Owning one month salary is no big deal.

You were unable to provide any information to rebut my post and instead trying your Ajegunle attack style to see if it works, Don't be like those who leave Nigeria, keep one foot where they are and keep the other foot in Nigeria, even the Bible said you are either hot or cold, no lukewarm state kid.

I don't know how this "beaf" dude could have passed the WAEC English test with the low level English comprehension skills he has displayed here so far displayed on this thread. The fact that he has "white" friends is encouraging too, you want a cookie for that as well?

In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to know where you currently live so I can take you to school for real. Just like I tell the folks that I come in contact with about the STUPIDITY of lumping everyone together because of previous experience I would like to inform you that just because you have seen some Nigerians do things a certain way don't mean we all do it that same way, do you even know Nigeria enough to know the country has various ethnic groups with various traditions and ways of doing things?

Your posts reek of the "fresh off the boat" syndrome and I would advice you to get some real education aburo so you don't end up like some of the folks you rile against in this thread, Nigerians are all over the place and I am sure they act based on what is around them, their experiences, etc.

I have gone to Nigeria with a coworker and he still talks about how much fun he had years later, in your own little mind I hid the fact I was Nigerian enough to have attracted someone who wanted to go with me after he saw me put my leave in, A mind is a terrible things to waste kid!

France said the loan would be made to the Nigerian federal government but then passed to Lagos State. It will help fund the city’s new $330 million urban transport plan, which is cofinanced by the World Bank.

Umar Sanda:
Na wa 4 u o, so u think d Militants hav more weapon dan d Nig Army? Undrestimate NA at your own peril.

[size=14pt]Jos: One killed as CDS, STF commander run into protesting students Featured [/size]
Written by  Jude Owuamanam, Jos 4

One student was killed as the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin, and the Commander of the Special Task Force on security in Jos, Maj.-Gen. Oluwaseun Osinowo, ran into protesting students of the Plateau State Polytechnic, Barkin Ladi.

The STF commander was said to be escorting his boss to the Yakubu Gowon Airport, en route Abuja after the CDS had inspected the extent of damage during the attack in Barkin Ladi.

Security agents have also taken over the school to protect motorists on the busy highway.

This came as 23 victims of the attack were given a mass burial on Friday.

Two more bodies were also said to have been discovered, bringing the casualty figure to 25.

Also, the STF on Friday paraded 163 suspects arrested in the wake of the recent attack in Takwok and Rakwok villages in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area.

Fifteen others are said to be receiving treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.

The students were said to be protesting the constant killings of their colleagues on the Heipang Airport/Barkin Ladi Road. About five of them were said to have been felled in the last one week.

The students had defied the 24-hour curfew imposed in the area as a result of the attack, which entered its fifth day on Friday.

Some journalists, who had gone to Barkin Ladi to inspect the extent of damage, were caught in the cross-fire as Petinrin and Osinowo allegedly shot their way through the barrier created by the students.

It was a rain of bullets as the security men in the convoy had to shoot sporadically into the air to disperse the protesting students.

But one of the students, who was already down on the ground, immediately sprang up and confronted a soldier, who was shooting into the air.

The student was shouting, "Wetin, wetin, what is happening," as he took some steps toward the soldier, who wasted no time in shooting him in the chest.

The shooting created more problems in the already heated local government as students mobilised for a showdown, but more security men were on hand to maintain peace.

A councillor in the local government, Mr. Pam Choji, whose four children were burnt, confirmed to SATURDAY PUNCH that he supervised the burial at Takwok village, where most of the victims were killed.

He said the casualty figure could be more as more bodies were being discovered in the bush.

Choji said, "As we went along the bush path, we discovered more bodies and as I am talking to you, we have discovered two bodies killed and thrown into a mining pond."

About 200 people were also said to have been displaced and were taking refuge at the Barkin Ladi police station. Some of the displaced persons told newsmen that the attacks were carried out by some Fulani in uniform.

Their spokesman, who identified himself simply as Pam, said that they had lost confidence in the soldiers and asked that only riot policemen be posted to the area.

He said even as the victims were being given a mass burial, some Fulani were still shooting from the bush.

STF Media Officer, Capt. Charles Ekeocha, said that six suspects indicted in the killing of a police officer and his wife had been handed over to the police for further investigation.

He said that various types of arms and ammunition were also recovered from the suspects.

[size=14pt]Osun Threatens To Sack Striking Workers[/size]
Sat, 19/11/2011 - 5:05pm | AGENCY REPORT

The Osun State Government on Friday threatened to sack striking workers of the state tertiary institutions if they refuse to resume on Nov. 21 in spite of government’s gesture.

Mr Sunday Akere, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, issued the threat while announcing approval of 80 per cent increment of the workers’ demands in Osogbo.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the affected workers have been on strike for more than four months to demand for improved conditions of service.

“Anybody who fails to report for duty before closing hour on Monday will be considered to have voluntarily disengaged from service.

“The benefit of such disengaged persons should be calculated on 100 per cent of the approved 200 per cent salary table,” he directed.

It will be recalled that Mr Olubisi Ige, the Public Relations Officer of Council of Academic Staff Unions, Osun State Owned Tertiary Institutions (CASUOSTI), had listed their demands.

According to him, the demands include seven per cent peculiar academic allowance and the new salary package of CONTISS 2007.

Other demands were the retirement age of 65 approved by the Federal Government and National Board for Technical Education and staff welfare.

Akere said that the arrears of the new salary scale would be paid with effect from July 1, while some other allowances had also been approved.

The Commissioner said that the retirement benefit of workers in the tertiary institutions was calculated on the basis of 100 per cent of the 2009 salary table.

He said that other contentious issues should be referred to the appropriate ministries for necessary actions as well as the need for approval from the state legislature.

[size=14pt]Osun PDP threatens to sue Aregbesola over workers’ salaries [/size]
Sunday, 20 November 2011

Osun state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has threatened to drag the state government to court over the non-payment of workers’ salaries and pensions of retired workers.

The party also accused the government of wasting local government funds on foreign seminars and trips that have no bearing on people’s welfare.

The party chairman, Chief Sunday Ojo Williams, in a statement said it was regrettable that workers got their September salaries only two weeks ago while October salaries were yet to be paid.

It said it might take the battle to court if only to let the government know that Osun people were not a conquered people that could be treated with disgust.

The party added that it had information that all local government chairmen in Osun state had travelled abroad to attend a seminar in Russia.

He added that while it was gathered that the chairmen were to return to Nigeria on 25 November, most of them had been out of the country for about two weeks and visited Dubai, China and several countries in Europe.

Meanwhile, a group within Osun PDP called the Integrity Group has also deplored the refusal of the government to pay pensioners in the state their October emoluments in spite of the enormous amount received from Abuja.

The group in a statement by its Chairman, Alhaji Kamorudeen Olagoke said it was callous of the state government to have asked workers to produce their primary six school leaving certificates before being paid.

While restating its support for all actions being taken by the state chapter of the party to take the state from the Action Congress of Nigeria, the PDP group stressed that the state government should stop taking the people for granted in its policies.

iyes:
Compared to his predecesor's 7 years, he has already eclipsed Oyinlola in just 1 year.

Even if it's rescuscitating of Farm Sttlements alone, he has done more than Jonathan's 2.5 yrs presidency.

Propaganda or not, he has not made a false move, or bad plans. He has dealt with the citizens with honesty of purpose and utmost good faith. That is a very rare attribute in Nigerian politicians presently.

I think he'll do very well by his 4th year.
