I personally believe Ambode is overwhelmed with the enormity of the responsibility. He simply does not have what it takes to continue the good work Fashola started, or to run a state as complex as Lagos.

Omotolu:
It is not only Osun State government that is owing workers. Federal government has not paid the salary of her Nigerian Airforce's civilian workers for August 2015. Nigerian government should stop all these irresponsible attitudes.

This is how we encourage our leaders to keep deflecting and shifting responsibility.

More like a child who fails his exams woefully. On getting home, he justified his woeful performance on the fact that other students also failed.

His parents will be like: *I sent you school to go and pass, not to go and fail like others*

* Gbosaaaa with hot slap to the cheek *

One thing about anything Chinese...


















They don't last

Lol. Even the language also?

gboss4sure:
Iyaloja of Nigeria?


Hahahahahahahahah, una no go kill me with laugh.

It should be iyaloja of Lagos, I doubt the so called iyaloja can even shut a market in ekiti talkless of the whole Nigeria.

Let her go to aba and shut ariaria market down na and see If they won't return her back to her papa as a corpse.

Correction:

Iyaloja GENERAL of Nigeria

That word "GENERAL" in her official title is very important. It is what gives her the authority to act with impunity.
Enjoy the Change....

What did Sylva forget in the government house as a governor that he wants to go back and get??

Or rather, what did he achieve in his last tenure as governor that was so ground-breaking that he wants to come back. Can't survive outside government house?

Gov Aregbe knows how to take holiday trips to exotic tourist destinations to ride camels, but has refused to pay his civil servants

Osun State Governor is a good Muslim by all accounts. Sallah celebration is probably the most important religious event in the Muslim faith after Ramadan. Even Christians and animists also feel the sense of celebration and goodwill. Sallah greetings and gifts are freely exchanged.

Unfortunately, my heart goes out to the long suffering civil servants and teachers in Osun State who are being owed over 6 months of arrears in unpaid salaries. Bail out funds specifically released by Federal Govt have been received in Osun State, but warehoused in a commercial bank.

Governor Aregbesola has stubbornly refused to pay the poor and downtrodden workers. This is a man who lived and cut his political teeth in poor neighbourhood of Mushin, Lagos. He projects himself in outlook, mien, and dressing as being conversant with the feelings and agony of the poor. So why is Aregbesola so intent on inflicting pain and suffering on citizens of the State of Osun?

The education sector is practically comatose. This month lecturers in the state's tertiary institutions had to embark on a sit-down protest at State House of Assembly over 8 months of unpaid salaries. Not long after students in secondary schools took to the streets of Osogbo to protest the draconian and crude policy of "show your parent's tax clearance certificate" by Gov Aregbesola.

https://www.nairaland.com/2598927/osun-lecturers-protest-unpaid-salaries

As of November 2014, Gov Aregbesola illegally cut the meagre pension of retired workers by a whopping 50%. Many have died of hunger because they cannot feed on the paltry sum after the cut. If this is not wickedness, then I don't know what else is. All over the world, leaders protect the weak, the infirmed, and old people. In the State of Osun, those are the ones in the firing line.

https://www.nairaland.com/2425186/osun-nlc-resist-alleged-plan#35454811

It looks like Muslims in Osun will celebrate this Sallah in empty stomach and gloom. And this punch in the stomach is being delivered by a sitting Muslim governor

The pertinent questions we should ask Governor Aregbesola are:

1. Has the Governor paid himself his own salary entitlements?
2. Will the Governor slaughter rams in his own house to celebrate this Sallah with his family?

The Administrator Grace High School, Gbagada, Lagos, Mrs. Tokunboh Edun, has explained that the school will continue to teach her students Chinese language, also known as Mandarin, despite criticism by stakeholders that Nigerian children are learning more foreign languages at the expense of indigenous languages.

Edun spoke in Lagos at the public presentation of Chinese Made Easy, a book written by Mr. Olaniyi Banwo of the University of Lagos. The book, which translates Chinese words into Yoruba, is meant to teach Yoruba speakers how to learn Mandarin.

According to Edun, those who are complaining against exposure of Nigerian students to foreign languages are not mindful of current trends in world policies and business. She disclosed that Grace High School became the first private school to introduce Mandarin to Nigerian students because the school is aware of latest trend worldwide. She added that “right now, Europeans and Americans are learning how to speak Chinese language because of the giant strides attained by china in global business and International relations. Learning mandarin has become a global trend which cannot be ignored by those who want to play an effective role in global business.”

Mrs. Edun said she has discovered that students who can speak major international languages like French, English and Chinese often have an edge in terms of competition for international jobs. “A mastery of Chinese language gives the speaker access to business opportunities in the most populous country of the world.”

The school administrator, while commending the author for making Chinese language easy to learn by Yoruba speakers and making Yoruba easy for mandarin speakers, gave three reasons Nigerians should take learning of Chinese language as a serious business. First, she observed that the Chinese are making rapid in-roads to Africa. In recent past, the latest data indicates that China is clearly emerging as Africa’s biggest trading partner. Also she observed that Chinese investment in Africa is expanding in many sectors like Agriculture, Industry and Social infrastructure. Edun also noted that even in terms of population, it is a known fact that one out of five human beings is a Chinese.

[size=18pt]Now some Parastatals are exempt.....This is the beginning of Thievery!!!.....Awon Ole Oshi!![/size]

They are laying the ground work for mis-using and mis-applying funds.

I will not yet accuse Buhari that he is planning to loot. The problem will be that thieving and vindictive midget governor of Kaduna State El Rufai, Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido, and former IG of Police under Abacha (Ibrahim Coomasie) and former Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Chairman who are his inner caucus advisers.

The idea is to pretend to be locking the front door with this so-called TSA policy, while leaving the back door wide open for funds to flow out to whatsoever they want to do with it.

modath:
Did you think before you posted?

GEJ came up with the TSA but didnt have the will to enforce it as usual....

Go and research, you know little, sorry.

True GEJ drew up the framework for TSA early this year.
He did not have the time to implement it. Elections were already at hand.

Oh my good Lord!!!

NNPC excluded from TSA

We thought NNPC was the capital of corruption Buhari, El-Rufai and Oshiomole were screaming to high heavens do not remit federal revenues. Hence, the whole TSA thing was principally targeted at NNPC to ensure all federal revenues are remitted.

It is always to scream transparency and probity from outside. When you are in charge the sweetness of the juice and the slush funds in NNPC is just too tempting to aggregate in TSA and throw it open for public scrutiny.

What really are they trying to hide

Chai!!! We have been scammed again ooooooo

I weep for Nigeria.

Nafizzey:
Barcsnista is this you abi na clone moniker? Great analyis though.. I'm surprise you are with Buhari here

Not the real TonyeBacarnista. Some fake as.s mofo is cloning his moniker

Kundagarten:
Expect COAS Burutai to do press-ups tomorrow.

Or as a Master Snake Charmer, to bring out snakes to scare the Boko Haram terrorists.

T0nyeBarcanista:
The mere fact that after so long, we can once again regard bomb explosion news as "Breaking News" shows that PMB has been working hard to eradicate Boko Haram. And as predicted, just as a wounded dog, the Boko Haramites can only resort to attack soft targets as the last straw on a camels back.

Hence...as patriots...we must stand with the president and the gallant Nigerian Army on this one.

But one very interesting dimension which I will like critical thinkers to ponder upon and analyse is the following:

Just this weekend...Saraki got into trouble and PDP seems to be on the rescue. This is a party wherein a school of thought believe is known to always distract Nigerians from corruption news headlines by bomb explosion headlines.

So, this same weekend, they released a statement calling Buhari an OFFICIAL TERRORIST.

This same weekend again...an AUDIO...not a VIDEO....an AUDIO (i.e a medium not easily verifiable and highly unlike the real Shekau) of Shekau calling Buhari a liar ...

This same weekend too, multiple explosions occurred in Maiduguri, killing innocent Nigerians as usual.

Well, the questions begging for answers are:

1. What is the link between SHEKAU and CORRUPTION?
2. When did Shekau start releasing Audios rather than Videos?
3. When did Shekau start mentioning/discrediting political parties?
4. Why did all these happen on this same critical weekend?

Answer:
The answer is very simple...when you fight corruption, corruption fights back harder. But if we all harness our resolution against them...we will crush them soonest and totally.

As GEJ said...Boko Haram is part of the PDP government,.....
as Azazi said....Boko Haram is PDP...and...PDP is Boko Haram

#IStandWithBuhari

This is a sickening and weak attempt to impersonate someone else, and post views which are contradictory to @TonyeBarcanista known views to rubbish him.

It is very clear that this new moniker T0nyeBarcanista is not the same as TonyeBarcanista. He has replaced the, 'o' Tonye with the number zero '0'. This fraudulent, and should not be tolerated in NL.

Moderators should do the needful and ban the handle T0nyeBarcanista

Ezenwammadu:
Weep not northerners b00hari body odour will soon fix it



Meanwhile burati is somewhere charming snakes and doing push ups in front of cameras

Precisely my concern.

For the Chief of Army Staff, Maj Gen Buratai to join the picture taking craze of politicians rather than face the war squarely makes one worried. To begin to brag about his snake charming skills makes one wonder if he wants to fight Boko Haram with snakes or bullets

Dottore:
Are the culprits ritualists or another set of sane looking mad men

They are not ritualists. Its their way of life up North. Very normal practise there.

stanech:
Soon they will blame PDP for their weak erection.

Hahahaha.

The real word was "E.RECTION". NL auto-correct changed it to "attention".
Anyway, in another sense maybe NL is correct. Because when you have "Ere****n", offcourse it is usually at "attention".

Gerrit??

Great wisdom can indeed come from the most unlikely of sources.

Does anyone know PMB's email address? Please forward to him.

I don't understand. I thought they said Akpabio was declared wanted by EFCC, DSS, London Police and Interpol?

How come Sahara Reporters was able to locate him at a London hotel lobby, take pictures, and even call him to do an interview

The propaganda machine is kicking into high gear. Once they target you, you cannot even eat pounded yam in your house without a false story being weaved around it. Why is debit card maxing out such a great news

NewNigeriaMind:
Lolz

I kind believe the extent people will go to cause division among people.

All through this write up, no supource was mentioned, rather all the writer said was quote inform sources.

Ok this is my own.

From sources inside the PDP party, it was revealed that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please fill in the black as you deem fit

When incidents like this happen, those inside the meeting will definitely narrate the event to friends and associates who were not present.
That is how these things get into the public domain. You don't begin to name names and reveal sources.

doublewisdom:
Still doesn't prove anything. Those pictures could have been taken somewhere/sometime before.

Don't mind them. Photoshop stuff. Trying to deceive the gullible public with cheap propaganda.

The Sahara Reporters write-up said Akpabio was wearing a blue sports jacket. The posted picture at Sahara Reporters which the OP has copied clearly showed someone wearing a grey jacket.

Once they target someone, even if the person sneezes, they will weave a story around it.

onlyme12:
Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, who is currently receiving medical treatment in London was today embarrassed after his credit card was declined at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, in Knightsbridge, London, as he tried to check in.

Mr. Akpabio flew to London few weeks ago to receive medical treatment after his G-Wagon Mercedes Benz collided with an American Embassy diplomatic vehicle in Abuja.

http://www.nigerianewsheadlines.com/?p=8584

The original story was posted in Sahara Reporters.

The write-up said Akpabio was wearing a blue sports jacket. The posted picture at Sahara Reporters which the OP has copied clearly showed someone wearing a grey jacket.

When will Sahara Reporters stop creating Photoshop images of people and weaving false stories in their targeted political mudslinging. It is obvious Akpabio and Saraki are on Tinubu and Sahara Reporters political cross hairs.

Expect more dirt and cooked up stories to rubbish Akpabio and his achievements as governor

lorRhyMeZ:
Bottomline is the churches wud b sealed either way..with court order or not..but d thing is,people wud definitely still complain like they are doing....abeg I dey arsenal game,no time for argument. Later things.

Don't defend the indefensible.

No court in Nigeria has ever given a ruling that schools and hospitals owned by an organisation where the leaders have issues should be closed down and the patients and pupils should be distributed to other hospitals and schools if they choose to exercise that option.

What usually happens is that the judge issues an order binding the litigants to maintain the status quo. The state security council is not wiser and definitely not superior to the supreme Court. In any case, is the governor not preempting the Supreme Court?

What the midget governor has done is to effectively rob the noses of the revered Supreme Court judges in the dust. It is a very dangerous precedent. I expect The learned JSCs to issue an order asking the governor to remove his leprous fingers from a matter that has been properly brought before them.

obstead200:
how many times have u seen imams quarrel like u see in churches? Let us be realistic abeg.
This is part of the reason why I become weary of going to church at times. The hypocrisy, selfishness and double standards is appalling

Are you listening to yourself? So if you belong to any organisation, and the leadership have disagreements you will immediately stop associating with or being a member of that organisation abi?

If you work for a company, and at any time the directors disagree you will immediately resign abi?

If commissioners or house of assembly members disagree or quarrel with your state governor you will relocate to another state abi?

Any time you quarrel with your wife, all your children should pack their loads and relocate to your neighbours house abi? Or better still, your state governor should come and dissolve your marriage even if the matter is in court, abi?

No sir, I definitely I agree with you, Imams and Alfas have never quarrelled before because they are aliens from outer space, not human beings

The level of reasoning of some Nigerians is so shallow you feel like shedding tears for them. Mtcheeew

Certainly Christians are cowards.

If a Christian governor dare shut down any mosque in this country on the flimsy excuse that the Imams in the mosque are quarrelling, the whole country would be on fire by now. By now churches and shops owned by Christians and Southerners will be burnt and Southerners slaughtered like ram.

Change has truly arrived. Enjoy it or shut up!!

atbu1983:
Did you read the post before commenting?

The church leaders are fighting over who is charge of the church with tension building up that may lead to violence among the members and students

The shut down is temporary pending when the supreme court decide who the leadership of the church is. Since the matter is already before the supreme court.

If the matter is before the Supreme Court then why is the governor interfering. Does that amount to contempt of court?

I believe the leadership disagreement started years ago before El-Rufai came into office 3 months ago. If the parties were law abiding and patient enough to pursue their issue from high Court, through Appeal Court and now they are in Supreme Court without resorting to violence why is Mr Governor now jumping into a matter that is before a court of competent jurisdiction?

The governor is playing out a script.

TonyeBarcanista:
Ogbonaya Onu as Ambassado? Hahahaahahaha


Buhari oooooooo

This is beyond a laughing matter. It is a big slap and a fat insult on the collective intelligence of the igbo nation. If I was an igbo I would be fuming with anger and not laughing over this insult.

Aisha herself was a child bride. She is putting her husband at risk.

That serial child rapist ex governor Sani Yerima from Zamfara and ex Kogi governor Audu should be the first to be prosecuted. They both married 12 year old children from poor Egyptian parents.

I struggle to understand what these prominent Northern elites enjoy from defiling small children

uselessgoat:
THIS IS HOW A SANE 1ST LADY CONTRIBUTES TO NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS DISGRACEFUL ILLITERATE CALLED MAMA PISS. WITH THESE MOVE, ALL THOSE IGBO MEN THAT ARE FOND OF DEFILING AND RAPING THEIR CHILDREN WILL ALL END UP IN JAIL BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THE SOUTH EAST IS THE HOME OF PEDOPHILES IN NIGERIA

Really

With a moniker like yours, I'm not surprised with your comments.
I pray God will grant you some sense, and change you from "useless goat" to a real human being
