@Beaf

Look at the thoughtful steps a "mad" man is taking to get his PDP-bastardized state out of the economic doldrums, while the "sane" man of Abuja is working on a QTEP - Quick Tenure Elongation Program.
"Tenure elongation?" LOL!!! Oga, don't sink to the level of the many dishonest folk that parambulate NL, you're way above that and I am one of your admirers.

Back to the mad one, Aregbesola and his "dry season farming." What exactly does "dry season farming" mean? Unu go wound pesin wit laf o! grin grin grin grin
There is nothing ground breaking or visionary about providing farmland without plans (the 3000 acres are for subsistence farming by all indications). Indeed if his idea of developing Osun state (ridiculous as it may sound) is to export yams to Lagos and import farming implements by rail in order to build Osuns states version of Oke-Arin market; don't you think 67 farming groups and 3,000 acres are laughable? The average farm size in Scotland is 309 acres and they aren't building some glorious Oke-Arin market.
Need I mention that serious people would actually have plans for storage, transportation and outlets at the very least; not wait with prayers for some dry season subsistence farming miracle. I see the same loud winds and inertia that Aregbesola has come to be known for.
Politics › Teslim Folarin, Others Expeled From PDP by Beaf(op): 2:30am On Aug 03, 2011
[size=14pt]Oyo PDP expels ex-Senate leader, others[/size]
Tuesday, 02 August 2011 14:47 REMI FEYISIPO,IBADAN.
.
Oyo State chapter of the People's Democratic Party [PDP] Tuesday expelled seven chieftains of the party for alleged anti-party activities during the April elections.

Those expelled are Teslim Folarin, Senate leader; Yekini Adeojo, former deputy national chairman of the party; Wole Oyelese, former minster of special duties; Azeem Gbolarumi, former deputy governor to Adebayo Alao-Akala during his 11-month tenure.

Others are Senator Lekan Balogun, Senator Gbenga Babalola and in-law of the Late strongman of Ibadan politics, and Abass Olopoenia, former House of Representatives member.

Those suspended formed a coalition and were against the second term bid of Former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala. But in a swift reaction, Folarin described the development as a joke, saying nobody could expel him from the party.

"They are a bunch of jokers, no one can expel or suspend me from the party. I am an authentic member of the party. We have told them that there is need to overhaul the party machinery in Oyo State and a genuine reconciliation pursued this is time for the State exco to go back to the drawing board and bring all aggrieved members to the party.

This is not the time for flimsy excuses," he said.However, in a communique issued at the end of enlarged State Executive meeting in Ibadan Tuesday, the Oyo party said those expelled had allegedly been involved in anti-party activities which made the party lose in most areas in South West.

Thanks bruv.

@aletheia

I hail your patience, intelligence and ability to reach out, even to the rocks and stones among us. It is highly illuminating that maclatunji has actually asked that we look to the democratic constitution to find out how Idiagbon thrived as "Vice-President" under a military dictatorship. A stunning display of ignorance and illiteracy.

Of course, it doesn't worry maclatunji's type that Idiagbons job title was, "Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters." How that can ever be equated to a VP under a constitutional democracy is totally beyond me.

There is a lot of work to be done, it takes heaps of patience to corner the stones and rocks, divest them of their hysterical instincts, humanise them and teach, teach, teach.

If not for Alonso's crap that totally disoriented McLaren, Lewis the rookie, would have been WDC in 2007, not just 2008.
If there's a devil in F1 today, its Alonso. He couldn't stand the thought of a rookie outshining him and winning the WDC at first try, so he blackmailed McLaren and Ron with his own emails.

baby-boy mentioned the "6 tenths" the clown, Alonso claimed to have brought to McLaren. . . It is not difficult to imagine that, with his gutter morals, he actually stole the designs from Ferarri, cos no driver can boast about bringing 6 tenths to a team. The people that make F1 cars go fast are uber geeks with stratospheric IQ's; the pimply type whose diet is limited to cheap pizza's and has an orgas'm at the sight of the perfect algebraic equation. 6 tenths my arse! Alonso is just a lowlife that wrecks other peoples careers as baby-boy also noted.

If people were already cutting grass in Osun before Aregbe and he added 20,000 new grass cutters to them, that means either they cut more grasses or they cut the available grasses faster, Either one is work done and kudos to the govt.

If somebody was already cutting grass in Osun State before Aregbesola why did he still have a backlog of 20,000 unemployed youths to cut grass?

These are 20,000 people who could have taken to crime, The ACN govt is too people sensitive to allow 20,000 ppl go to the streets when they can from govt purse pay them for whatever service rendered an use the money to pursue their dreams

Question is the money paid to these 20,000 people what was the PDP govt spending it on? Or was it part of the money for the boys the PDP normally does?

The irresponsibility which PDP represents all over the country in Nauseating to people of the SW and Osun in particular thats why they were the only State in the whole South who overwhelmingly voted their party candidate for president
LOLZZZZZZZ!!!!!
Dude, those labourers will always be available to cut grass and carry rocks, they will be there too after Aregbesola to cut more grass. Have you ever heard of scarcity of labourers anywhere on Earth?

I do not see what there is to celebrate about Beaf. Seriously, GEJ applied for the job of President, somehow he has managed to get there. So, what has posting large-sized pictures of former leaders and pictures of poverty-stricken people from the north have to do with his inept decision-making and selfish tendencies that are leading us no where. If Buhari or any of these other leaders that are still alive have committed crimes, is it my job or that of Beaf to ensure that they face the law? Of course not, it is GEJ's job. He is an Executive President, not a ceremonial one.

So, your principal's transformation agenda is about posting pictures of former leaders and beggars on the street. You must have completely lost it. Show us GEJ's plans-in-action not pictures of other people that are not in power. Oh! I forgot, he has a zero-point agenda and "will never disappoint us" (with his tendency to make the wrong decisions at the wrong time).

Beaf just go and sit down and stop all of this your feeble diversionary tactics. Mr. President assured us during the campaign that he is the most experienced person ever to occupy the position of President in Nigeria, yet we are still crawling slower than during Yar'adua's tenure. There is a limit to which you can continue to buy people and I tell you, you guys are reaching that point. A word is enough for even the foolish talkless of the wise.
You are misfiring like a rundown battery. I simply challengerd you clowns to point out a "strong" leader and you're all running around like headless chickens, I did not only lay the challenge, but went further to state that your definitions of "strong" leadership are driven by nak'ed religious and ethnic bigotries. Simply put, no rational mind would attribute any sort of leadership to any past Nigerian leader.

The only comfort we can draw from the shocking primitivity of the Nigerian politician and political pundit, is that such idiocy is not limited to Nigeria, other countries seem to have their share of dimwits that pop up out of hatred for their fellow man. This past few days, we all witnessed the blind rabid rush to destroy the US, all for the thinly veiled racist hatred of the fact that Obama is black; the extremist fools had some vain hopes that they would be shaming Obama out of office.
The very same thing is going on in Nigeria today, from the highly insulting stoning of President Jonathans motorcade, to the killing of youth corpers and the virulent attacks from the Nigerian version of the Tea Parties. To this sorry lot, the President is an ethnically inferior infidel to be fearsomely attacked by low self esteemed men with pathetically low IQ's and low morals. If not, why scream and why lie? Why boko haram?

Where is your past "strong" leader? Is he the one that rap'ed your neighbours wife, stole her land and killed her husband and sons?

Jonathan might not be to everyones taste, but why tell lies and act like brainless wild animals? "Strong" leadership from the past? The effects we see are boko haram, poverty, disease and a populace so beaten that some would lie, ra'pe their own daughters and sell their mums for bigoted religious or ethnic extremes.

In all the countries I have visited, I have never met people who are as foolishly aggressive, dishonest and wicked as the Nigerian elite, even right next door in Benin Republic and Ghana. It is an absolute disgrace.
Politics › PHCN: Power Minister Sacks CEOs Of 4 Regional Distribution Companies by Beaf(op): 2:12am On Aug 02, 2011
[size=14pt]Power supply: Minister sacks four PHCN CEOs[/size]
On August 2, 2011 · In News
By Yemie Adeoye

ABUJA—The Minister of Power, Professor Barth Nnaji has announced the immediate removal from office of four Chief Executive Officers of Distribution companies across the country.

The move which is aimed at strengthening the capacity of distribution companies nationwide to enable them serve the public better led to the immediate replacement of the four Chief Executives.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Media relations officer to the Minister, Mr Ogbuagwu Anekwe, in Abuja yesterday.

Those affected include Engr. Justus Obilomo (Eko), Engr. Oladele Adeola (Ibadan), Engr. George Chiatula (Benin), and Engr. Kosiso Nwaokoro (Jos).

The minister named their replacements as Engr. Oladele Amoda (Eko Distribution Company), Engr. Bolaji Mofoluso Oyesiku (Ibadan Distribution Company), Dr. Effiong Umoren (Benin), and Mrs. Vera Ngozi Osuhor (Jos).

Nnaji had told the top level managers of the power generation, transmission and distribution companies in a meeting last Monday that those who failed to perform and consistently miss their service level agreement targets would be replaced, to underscore government’s seriousness to pursue the reform agenda robustly.

The minister later met with the new CEOs and congratulated them on their appointments. He said that government’s expectation was that they would live up to expectation.

Dude, grass is cut all over the country, other governors, LG chairmen etc are just more honest and not so callous when they DO NOT declare it to be "empowerment."

It is the recent election that has actually put Aregbesola in control firmly and it is not coincidental commissioners have emerged and firm pledges of development are being made . I think we will now see the best of Aregbesola . Save your "useless rhetoric" dismissal for another few months.
This is talented story telling!
Did Aregbesola submit a list of commissioners that was rejected at any point in time? I certainly don't recall and neither do you.

If you claim that his attempts at governance were opposed, can you at least point out some of those events with dates and links? Or just make them up in Rhino.dm5 style?

Would you also be so kind to tell us why after getting full party support in the House of Assembly, he still has cold feet about commissioners?

Dude, we are holding special prayers with dry fasting, offerings and soulful supplications for the scales to fall off Aregbesola's eyes. Osun state deserves a governor, not a truant.

@brotha Beaf
you are the one not making any sense any longer. . . . . . . . . you claim that Ham has been unfairly treated due to his feud with Alonso and i simply showed you that Ham is to blame for it all.

i never doubted that Ham was a skillful driver(like many out there), i simply said that it takes more than skills to win races/championships.
What more does it take? Cheating and dirty games? Thats what Alonso is good for.
Lewis the rookie was far better than Alonso and the man blew his lid and began taking increasingly dangerous actions to curb Lewis rampant speed. First was the short-fuelling suggestion to Ron (a short-fuelled driver has to drive in fuel saving mode, in short very slowly); when that failed, he packed in front of Lewis to stop him setting a qualifying time (Lewis went on to win that race); with no cards left to play, Alonso decided to blackmail McLaren with his own (and fellow Spaniard, Pedro de la Rosa's) Ferarri design emails. How low can a man get?

However, the prejudiced F1 establishment saw a white man in Alonso and the black man in Lewis; so Alonso blackmailing McLaren became a "stain" instead on Lewis. The magnitude of the offense Alonso had committed was lost in a slew of racist anti-Lewis websites springing up and all sorts of racist insults actions by Alonso fans (who he never had the grace to call to order).
Lewis is mugged and not given his due simply because he is a black man; like Tiger Woods and Muhamed Ali, he needs to win a few more championships, then over the top respect will pour in like he is Mandela.

Please be kind sir, and throw more light on these "strides," because they seem to be Nigeria's best kept secret.

The only thing we know he has done, was shifting base to Lagos to interfere with the exemplary work Fashola is doing. He and his toad-like master, Tinubu were there to obstruct and impose commissioners on Lagos state, whereas one year after his own swearing in, he has none himself.

The man is so much that nobody is good enough to share his yam inspired glory. Its called megalomania.
I see superman Aregbesola single-handedly carrying bricks to build schools, weilding shovels to plant yams for export to Lagos and grinding rocks to build a replica of Oke-Arin market. His vision is as shallow as his leadership qualities are lacking. Who in Jesus name voted him in? Well, hindsight is a good thing, I see growing regret in Osun.

Every last one of our past leaders "strong" men have been useless murderering, kleptocratic, visionless scumbags. They got us to the unenviable position of lack of development, physical and intellectual squalor we now occupy.

If you claim Jonathan is not performing based on past leaders, then you have missed the boat by a long shot.
It is fairly easy to observe that those who talk about "strong" leaderhip from the past are either ignorant of Nigeria's past history and can't be bothered (maybe they even think we are so grossly underdeveloped by miracle), or they are driven by religious or ethnic bigotry (or both).

Nigeria does not need any of the "strong" military style, frog-jumping rulership that has traumatised the masses and turned even children into "do you know who I am? I will jail your family" types. That is not leadership, but senseless dictatorship.

We should be siezing the opportunities of a civilised and concensual approach to governance to make our voices heard.

If you've got nothing to contribute, allow those with ideas to step forward and stop making nebulous comments about "strong" leadership that never ever existed in Nigeria's past.

What strong leadership? Was that what made us lose our cotton, rubber, oil palm, cocoa, groundnut, manufacturing and other industries? Is strong leadership the reason we fought a useless war and lost millions of innocent souls? Is that why we lost our railways, roads are bad and the average person is unbelievably wicked? Did strong leadership cause healthcare to plummet to abbysmal lows? Is it the reason we have open sewers lining our roads and the country looks like an abandoned shrine to satan?

The average Nigerian has a penchant for screaming and making no sense. Indeed, the whole country is like a screaming competition, like a zoo of mad types.
Jonathan might not be your cup of tea, and it is only human to differ, but lets not tell lies and be uncivil.
"Strong" leadership in Nigeria's history? Buckle your shoes, because foreigners are screaming with laughter.

for your information am from ede.what laudable thing as he done since his inaguration.is travelling out of the country every week,and singing saheed osupa one of the laudable thing he as done and i would want you to mention the laudable thing he has done.Yoruba says 'Omo to ba ma je ashamu ati kekere lo ti ma je enu shamushamu'
Tell them jare! The likes of Gbawe see everything through corrupt partisan eyes, they give the simplest arguments a shameless ethnic colouration.

Aregbesola is busy living large and wasting the peoples precious time.
Not a single stone has turned in Osun since he resumed his unfortunate, "kingly" mandate, but in the meantime, he and his evil master Tinubu are vigorously exerting energies supervising and derailling Fashola in Lagos, while Osun people are eagerly awaiting responsible governance.
The man had the temerity to supervise the selection of Fashola's cabinet. Lets be reminded that Fashola was sworn into his current mandate close to a year after Aregbesola was sworn in; yet the "supervisor" has no cabinet himself, nothing tangible to show (aside from flight tickets); he only has his godlike, but empty speeches, while his the state (like his responsibilities) rots away.
