As long as the tolls aren't handled by a mega thief like IBB, I'm cool. It would actually be quite welcomed if we see that our tolls are actually going toward fixing the roads. Oil cannot pay for everything in the country, while the people lay back and dose off. We need to find other sources of funding, or we will surely sink below the surface; all over the World, roads are maintained with taxes from various sources, not with money from exports. Its just wrong to do that. |
igbo2011:Its the heat that plugged into turbines to generate electricity. Its usually used to create steam to drive turbines. |
emiye:"The agreement not to pay the salaries as of now is mutual between the labour leaders and State gov". . . Shut up! You be Aluwe? You no de shame? Una governor de owe una salary, then not stopping there, he sends a band of aluta howlers with your salary money to fan Tinubu's grey arse. . . and you're here asking for definitions!!!

But Aregbesola could organise a 19 bus aluta trip to Abuja to sing praises to Tinubu. |
[size=14pt]Osun Begs Tertiary Institutions' Workers to End 4-Month-Old Strike[/size] Hameed Oyegbade 1 November 2011 Osogbo — The Osun State government has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics and the Non-Academic Staff Union in the state-owned polytechnics and colleges of education to end their four-month-old strike. The state's Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Sunday Akere yesterday said the government had approved 75 percent of their demands. He said, "Part of what the government did was relieving the schools of the burden of augmenting monthly salaries of their staff with N9 million each which was the practice in the past. With this, each institution will have extra N108 million yearly which it can deploy to develop its facilities". The commissioner therefore appealed the workers to call off the strike in the interest of the future of the students. But ASUP Secretary, Osun State Polytechnic Iree chapter Deji Alabi said the strike would continue until the government meets all the demands. The striking workers in the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree; Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke; the state college of education, Ilesa and Ila-Orangun are demanding, among other things, the implementation of the Consolidated New Tertiary Institution Salary Structure (CONHENS), enhanced welfare and 65 year retirement age for lecturers. http://allafrica.com/stories/201111010346.html |
[size=14pt]Osun workers groan over unpaid salaries[/size] Sunday, 23 October 2011 00:00 Joshua Dada Events in the past few months have not been palatable for the people of Osun State. The most presing of them is the non-payment of workers’ salary. As business in Osun State rely largely on salaries of public servants, there is a lull in commercial activities in the state because of the non-payment of civil servants’ salaries. Traders, artisans, market men and women, drivers and others depend on patronage from civil servants to eke a living. Since the funds injected into the economy through the payment of workers’ salary has stopped, it has led to lamentation by virtually everybody in the state, even in places of worship. Commercial cab drivers and commercial motorcyclists popularly referred to as Okada riders have a hectic time as they groan over a shortfall in passengers. The situation is also taking its toll on housewives who are at the receiving end of taking care of the home. Before now, everything was going well between the labour and the government of Mr. Rauf Aregbesola as workers always received their salaries as and when due until the issue of the N18,000.00 minimum wage crept in. Beside the dispute between Osun State Government and public servants in the health sector and tertiary institutions in the state, government had been alive to the responsibility of paying its workforce promptly. However, with the signing into law of the N18,000 minimum wage by President Goodluck Jonathan, the door to labour crisis became open across the country with Osun State having its own share. Thus, the entire workforce of Osun State declared a trade dispute by going on strike on 5th August, 2011 following the breakdown of negotiation between government and Osun State chapter of Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC). The strike was declared on the heels of payment of July salaries, which labour says fell short of the terms of negotiation it had with the government. Before the strike, the popularity rating of Governor Aregbesola was high, but the reverse is the case now, no thanks to the labour crisis. Because Osun State is a civil servant state, it has become difficult for past governments to succeed without the favour of public servants. It would be recalled that the Chief Adebisi Akande led government in Osun State could not survive the wrath of public servants who experienced tough times during his administration. Chief Akande succeeded in improving on infrastructural development of the state at the expense of the welfare of workers. There were instances where both husband and wife were affected by the unpopular policy of Akande’s administration. Many of them suffered sudden retirement while a large number were retrenched for what the then government referred to as redundancy. The unexpected termination of job and retirement as the case may be cut across every stratum of public service including professionals such as teachers, health workers and others all with the aim of reducing the staff strength of the state by doing away with those categorized as dead woods within the public service. The effect of that policy was unprecedented as many people could not survive the shock of the untimely loss of jobs thereby sending a good number of victims to their graves untimely. The workers therefore re-grouped to vote out the administration of Chief Bisi Akande and opted for the administration of Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola who pledged during his campaign promises in 2003 to right the wrongs done to workers by re-absorbing most of those whose jobs were terminated. Althhough the population of the public servants in the service of Osun State appears insignificant, the fact remains that to every civil servant there are no fewer than five dependants. A business woman in the Isida area of Ilesa, who spoke with the Nigerian Compass said: “This is indeed not the best of time for businesses in the state. Since workers in government employment have not been paid for several months now, it has also become difficult for us to survive. This is certainly not our expectation of the Aregbesola government.” http://www.nigeriancompass.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6819:osun-workers-groan-over-unpaid-salaries&catid=81:political-news&Itemid=618 |
emiye:Yeah. learn from us. I can't imagine any Delta state governor owing workers two months salary and having the animal boldness to send 19 phucking bus loads of praise singers and assorted aluta howlers to fan Tinubu's wrinkly arse in Abuja. Not my Delta! We for burn di buses and barb dat fool taliban biebie wit paralizing slaps. Dem never born am! ![]() Instead of doing that, you come running here, because you are a coward. Run along, fool. Learn from us; talk little, act large. |
As always, the usual comedians and village id!ots are not making any attempt to tackle stories of corruption, but have come in here ruminate on the fetid bile and stunning foolishness. Like leader, like followers. |

If I were to be lumbered with solving Nigeria's developmental problems, my thinking would go like below: The countries that are closing their nuclear plants have already climbed into the rich circle; they can afford to relinquish nuclear power and take up more expensive alternatives, so we need not listen to anyone from there preaching that nuclear is so yesterday. Nigeria is yet to even begin crawling, instead we have grossly misused and abused the meagre revenue we get from oil. Anyone scouring the Nigerian developmental terrain, will reach a best conclusion that the country is a basket case in urgent need of shock therapy. The question of where to apply that shock therapy then becomes pressing. To my mind, we can apply it in one or more of following areas: [list] [li]Food production[/li] [li]Education[/li] [li]Infrastructure[/li] [li]Trade[/li] [li]Electric power production[/li] [/list] Every item on the list requires electric power in one form or the other for its success, the same goes with education. Food production is already being worked on, just as the nations focus and foreign policy driver is being swung trade; so those areas are getting the required attention, and we only need to wait about a year to award marks. The massive provision of infrastructure on the other hand, requires massive cash outlays which we just don't have; to compound matters, Nigeria is woefully underdeveloped and has no money generating industries outside of oil to make it easy to recuperate any expenses, in other words, massive spending on infrastructure will only lead to projects that either can't be maintained or can't be completed. . . a forest of white elephant projects. With every other item, but power ruled out for shock therapy, the power sector stands alone. Any shock investment in the area will yield pleasantly shocking returns, we will be certain to receive several magnitudes of the investment per kilowatt. A multiplier effect that would quickly yield the revenue to fix the other ailing sectors. Having isolated the power sector for shock therapy, the next project would be to find power generating technologies that offer the biggest slam for our buck. Needless to say, nuclear cannot be beaten. There is the argument about nuclear being safe, but several less developed countries than Nigeria (even war torn Congo has a dead one), so why can't Nigeria? It isn't just that lesser countries successfully run nuclear reactors, but nuclear reactors also power war going submarines. What about accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima? Technology has now reached the stage where there are mini-reactors and no requirement for behemoths like Fukushima which basically eliminates the risk. As soon as the super-grid is completed, the FG can simply order mini-reactors and just plug them in to power whole towns. A killer bonus with most of these mini-reactors is that they are absolutely maintenance free, every few years, you ship them back to the factory where they are recharged with more fuel and shipped back. Neat. Hyperion Power Generation, a Santa Fe, N.M., company, launched a publicity campaign for its "hot-tub"-sized 30-MW hydride reactor, a licensed technology developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory. The 10-ton unit, only 5 feet in diameter, is a sealed module with integrated radiation shielding that would be fueled and refueled every five to seven years at the factoryhttp://www.powermag.com/nuclear/The-Race-to-Commercialize-Mini-Nuclear-Reactors_1619.html |
emiye:You will kill yourself supporting that useless Aregbesola. Are you watching how Deltans take care of business? If only you RASCALS will learn from us. Bigoted dunce. |
UYCO:There are 17 DPP members out of 29, so they only need 3 PDP members to form a solid two thirds majority in an impeachment vote. 3 People is a very tiny number indeed. Seriousness should be shown by reaching out to the highest echelons of PDP and cutting a deal. Politics is a practical game. |
[size=14pt]Nuclear-powered electricity a major priority in Jonathan’s administration – Envoy[/size] On November 3, 2011 · In News United Nations Nigeria’s Deputy Envoy at the UN, Bukun-Olu Onemola, said on Wednesday that the introduction of nuclear-powered electricity remained a major priority of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Onemola told a meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York that the introduction of nuclear-powered electricity in the country’s energy mix was high on the government 5th transformation agenda. “ We are working closely with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) towards the realisation of this objective while honouring the attendant obligations to ensure safety and security. “This is why for us in Nigeria, transparency in the handling of information coming out of the Fukushima Daiichi accident and the lessons learnt from the incident is important, as they will help us to avoid dangerous pitfalls.’’ The Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March resulted to series of equipment failure, nuclear meltdowns and release of radioactive materials at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, following Tohoku earthquake and Tsunami on March 11, 2011. According to him, in spite of apprehensions following the Fukushima accident, Nigeria remains convinced that nuclear technology, if safely and responsibly applied, can facilitate the attainment of the country’s development goals and those of other Millennium Development Goals. He added that safe and responsible application of nuclear technology would have a vital role to play in servicing immediate human needs. Onemola expressed satisfaction with the phenomenal achievement of the IAEA in the application of nuclear technology in the area of food and agriculture, particularly its collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Oragnisation and the World Organisation for Animal Health. The envoy encouraged IAEA to continue in its efforts to assist nuclear-rich states in applying nuclear technology in the diagnosis and control of other trans-boundary animal diseases and ultimately promote food security. He added that the focus on the application of nuclear techniques to the prospecting and management of water at the assembly meeting was timely, because it addressed current needs of humanity in both developed and developing countries. IAEA’s Director-General, Yukiya Amano, had noted that since the Fukushima accident, which occurred in the wake of the earthquake and Tsunami that struck Japan, the international community had mobilised to assess and apply lessons learned. The action plan included agreement for a “stress test’’ of nuclear power plants in all countries with active nuclear programmes.

monkeyleg:Dude, you still haven't uttered a word about why my suggestions below are not attractive to you. Why do you prefer rioting like a fool? Why do you prefer to sell Delta state to outsiders like a traitor? Why were you hiding under Ogboru's name to perpetrate acts that would have led to ethnic strife, loss of life, but would have given you access to bunkering? To make matters worse for you, the house of assembly is doing precisely what I suggested below: Beaf: [size=13pt]If we don't want Uduaghan, then lets impeach him while getting EFCC pertitions together; its called organisation.Why doesn't the above matter to you? Why do you want to to deceive other peoples children to their deaths to fulfil your criminal ambitions? Thankfully, gutter people like you will always be outmanoeuvred by superior brainpower and tactical intellectual fancy footing. LolZ! Delta state people are not animals, we are highly sophisticated players. While you were busy sharpening your cutlass and polishing your AK, the thinkers were laying out possible paths to impeachment and brainstorming about the contents of any EFCC petitions should they be needed. Thats how real Deltans roll. ![]() monkeyleg, why didn't you join the amnesty programme when the door was wide open? Maybe you would have been in SA or Europe redeeming your wasted life. Why are you creating avenues for bloodshed among the innocent, because you want to be an oil bunkerer? Delta state does not need you. Phucked up expired militant. |
ak47mann:That is the real reason people hate Deziani Allison Madueke. She has been the arrowhead of wrecking their parasitic "businesses." Its a similar reason why they also hate Okonjo Iweala so passionately. |
monkeyleg:Lol! You are a desperate fool indeed! The governor has paid me, yet I'm telling you to impeach him and set EFCC on his arse? You are just bitter that I've outed your hairy, scary, rusty, dusty, pimply and wretchedly smelly arse. You are a phucking militant who doesn't care if youthful souls are lost or not as far as you can mount the pipeline. If you try any violence in Delta, JTF will mow you down. ![]() He-goat. |
Shell is the biggest oil thief. Things are simply not going their way anymore. GEJ's govt is the first to put meters on all oil lifting pumps, so the likes of Shell and its clouds of corrupt hangers on are really feeling the pinch. Past Nigerian govts sold us to the oil companies hook line and sinker and every citizen was treated like an inanimate oil barrel. The practice then was that the govt would go to Shell (or similar oil company) and actually ask them how many barrels the country had produced! ![]() Shell would then give any figure of their choice, pass the brown envelope and the Nigerian govt official would sign; at the conclusion, Shell would sell the any excess crude they had drilled directly to tankers on the high seas, while govt officials would sell undeclared crude from unmetered pumps at our ports. When Shell starts crying, its good for Nigeria. They've suddenly become the police! When did they even begin to be worried about the security of Nigerian oil? Well done GEJ. ![]() |
monkeyleg:Shut up, fool. This is how civilised people act, not stoking bloodshed and ethnic division like you. I asked you this question several times and you could not reply, thereby showing yourself up as a phucking militant looking to hijack the genuine struggles of the people so you can break into oil bunkering or control stretches of pipelines. Beaf: [size=13pt]If we don't want Uduaghan, then lets impeach him while getting EFCC pertitions together; its called organisation.https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=792393.msg9459198#msg9459198 Why couldn't you answer the above if you don't have an evil ulterior motive? Is that not what civilised souls are doing right now? Bloodsucking imp. |
[quote author=X-factoria link=topic=795092.msg9475398#msg9475398 date=1320343729]Guy, you introduced the sentiments derailing this thread. You guys should leave Beaf's personality alone and face the real issues!!!! At the risk of losing their lives, Osun people stood by ACN just so they can get a better deal. Is this what ACN has to offer? Promoting rascality at the expense of good governance? Lets call a spade a spade, ACN has fooled SouthWesterners!!!![/quote]Word. ![]() The question is, are they capable of holding an argument or are they simply acting the part of followers whose leaders go around slapping people? Like leader, like follower. No big surprises. If area boys could pelt the great Gani Fawenhinmi on Tinubu's orders for challenging his fraudulent degree, who am I? These clowns should be ashamed, but such a word doesn't exist for thugs. |
ode remo:Tell them! Quite a few of us think that its ok to avoid matters and haul insults instead. The country is in serious trouble indeed and governors like Aregbesola are there only to misuse the little federal funds that accrue to their states. Osun state is owing 2 months salaries. Yet, the very leaders of tomorrow who should be protecting the interests of the victims of such wickedness are the first to begin screaming insults their are tangential to the issues at hand when I raise the fact that instead of paying workers, Aregbesola possibly wasted millions sending a crowd in a whopping 19 buses, to sing Tinubu's praises. What a waste! Nigerians are Nigeria's worst enemy indeed. |
Yes, it is true that Nigerians have become wicked. How else can we seek out cheap beer palour gist (aimed as oblique blows to the PIB) and instead, promote such real, "in your face" calousness and corruption as below? Osun state workers are owed several months salary. Yet their govt was able to effortlessly spend millions sponsoring, transporting and feeding 19 buses of praise singing aluta howlers on a trip from Osun to the venue of Tinubu's case in Abuja.https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-795092.0.html |
[size=14pt]Where is Gbawe the defender of Aregbesola's slackness and madness?![/size] |
Abeg, mek una free our first lady jare! |
Gbawe:Thats because, while Uduaghan is poor, Aregbesola is the undisputed number one arsehole in the country. ![]() What sort of governer owes two months salary to long suffering Osun state workers, yet finds time and money to send a worthless [size=14pt]19 BUS[/size] aluta trip to Abuja to hail Tinubu? How can any other governor beat such uselessness. |
DrummaBoy:Threads like this excite ethnically bigotted fools like you who run after anything from Delta because you think I have no right to critisece Yoruba governors like Aregbesola and phucking thieves like Tinubu. You would call names such as PointB, Jmaine, wesley80 as an attempt to coral them into your ugly categories, because you cannot cope with their mental and balanced outputs (unlike your hate filled, coup seeking idiocy). Carry go! Lame brain. If only the other threads on Delta state where as well thought out and civilly put across, not of the "out of job" militant variety promoted by goons looking to go into oil bunkering on the blood of innocents; then we would have fulfilling debates about Delta state. This are some steps I have repeatedly put forward to the militants on their crude and violent threads, but which they have strangely declined: [size=13pt]If we don't want Uduaghan, then lets impeach him while getting EFCC pertitions together; its called organisation.Na, they don't want the above steps, cos rioting pays their ulterior motives better. |
A 23 year old bomb maker. Its a sad day for the country, another wasted life. |
omo9ja1: cjfavour:Its a shame on the current leaders? Do you think you are talking to fools? Lol! Maybe GEJ should begin making mistakes too, so they can be blamed on the next President after him. "Clever" stuff. Thank God GEJ is investing heavily in education. |
PointB:They were probably in his backyard all the time. |
Kennyblues:Bruv, as much as I come in to contribute; I also hold firm beliefs about what and who are good and bad in todays Nigeria. It is the duty of every citizen to speak up about things and people that have been moulded into the fabric of retrogression in the country. Aregbesola is one of these. Why do you think he is so rabidly defended on NL? Why do you think so many threads are opened to attack those who expose him? We all need to selflessly do our bit for the good and manfully accept any flak; thats the way of the good fight. Thanks for putting in a word. |
How much did the mission cost at a time Osun states workers are owed two months salaries? [size=14pt]Na so di kueshion hard?[/size] |
Where and how were the containers recovered, by whom, from whom and at what cost? . . .Questions! Yes, heads must roll. |
