In as much as I believe a letter like this is overdue and can bring re-awakening to industrilization and commerce in Yoruba nation. And the person to whom this message has been directed is a man who can indeed bring about a dawn of new era, and re-engineer how things are being done. Indeed talk of the timing, I believe no better time than now, inspite of several issues raised, I still disagree totally that yorubas are not doing well. I can boldly say many markets in lagos today boost of more presence of Yoruba guys doing similar small bussiness the igbo brothers do. I can boldly say, in many markets in lagos, yoruba boost of more of its subjects in market like computer village, balogun e.t.c. The writer might have made some sense, but there are no facts to back up his claims. He talked about adenuga alone, where would you put the likes of okoya(eleganza) he owns largest investment in properties in lagos, oba otudeko industrial magnate, dele fajemirokun, jimoh ibrahim, m obagun, olorogun sunny kuku, the subomi balogun, fola adeola, duduyemi(bolex) , micheal adeojo, otedola, jimoh oyedele, akin ogunbiyi(mutual benefit), adedoyin, the folawiyos, the new generations of bussiness leaders like ibikunle awosika,olakunle ekundayo, the durotoye, funke opeke, harry akande, oladimeji owofemi, kola kareem, tope sonubi, ayodeji adewumi, tope folayan, femi akinder, bosun tijani, abiola olaniran sujibomi balogun, ladi delano, babtunde soyoye the owners of tantalizer(ayeni), sweet sensation(kehinde kamson), tasty fried chicken,chicken republic. we dominate the fast food industry, the ayeni brothers who are known dealers in automobile and hotel group, most hotels are owned by westerners, eko hotel, radisson blu, nicon luxury, fourpoint sheraton, western hotel, the automobile industries boost of more yorubas than any tribe, apart from innoson and coscharis that are ibo owned, yorubas own most auto plants and car shops in lagos and abuja. Plycon construction, bi-coutney, stanbili and visiononi, plymera, sojimoto, centre base, dekit, convenant construction, RCC, julius berger just to mention a few, nt to talk of law firms, accounting firms, educational institutions, many several high flying bussiness that are silent and yet doing mighty. Pls Gen. adebayo, in as much as there is need for more, I believe you have little knowledge what this new generation is doing, great things are happening! In as much as more is desired, always get fact right before writing sir. I believe the asiwaju that I know will definately school him on this, I watch out for a reply to this.

I laugh when people say they don't have database for matching, I totally disagree, most data creating agencies, like network providers mtn, glo, etisalat, inec and censor agency supply them datas, which they employ to achieve results. There is hardly a nigerian today who don't have their profile/info with a network provider, unless you're not a phone user. To say there are challenges, there no doubting that, but to question this step taken, will only present such people as enemies of the state. It is indeed a step in right direction.

HBD sir, your calmness says the quality of character in you, your genius and creativity is a testimony to how endowed God has made you. Your meekness reveals the heart God has given you. I salute your works in Lagos, as someone in Engineering practice who has never set eyes on you or had encounter with you, am proud to identify with you with the amazing landmarks projects your administration is doing. I cannot imagine what lagos will be like in the next 4years. you are indeed a worthy servant of the people, voting you as lagos governor is indeed an investment well made, more grace and power to you as you continue to steer the ship of this great state. God bless you sir. Itesiwaju eko loje wa logun

I felt this man represents face of opposition, because I believe an healthy nation needs one. But with comments over comments and contradictory remarks, fayose is indeed confused! This OP without doubt just killed it. He has dissapointed many of us who attached so much to him. With all sincerity, what has he done with the excess fund from the federal allocation he received and how about fund from monthly IGR since he became governor, aside paying salaries, fayose has done nothing tangible, no wonder why two of his aids/commissioners resigned for irrelevant projects that add no value to the life of ekiti citizens.

Big No, OP is PDP loyalist. I hope when you begin to see the roads, you'll be magnanimous enough to admitt.

Lies may prevail for a years bt one day truth will win, thank God truth is coming gradually, for those who gather on social platform to discredit the govt of ogbeni, to God be the glory truth is emerging gradually. This man remains the best Governor of that state since inception, failure to pay workers at some point shouldn't bring lies and downgrading of his achievement. Am from osun, all you see in this pictures are nothing but the truth, all these project spreads over nooks and crannies of osun state. The road to my house at ile-ife that has been a earth road for decades was tarred by this man. There is no local govt in osun that govt presence is not felt. Why would people decide to bring a man who comes with good intention down, today, with the news of salary issues in bayelsa, ondo and ekiti, we have come to see that indeed, most of those who come here to criticise ogbeni are nothing but hypocrites, am yet to see people condemn mimiko and dickson's failure to pay worker despite their huge earning from federal covers. What this two states earn is far more than osun, and they are not doing any project. But same people are often quick to condemn and malign aregbesola. My greatest joy is that gradually osun is recovering, salaries are being paid, even if it is half payment, it is far better than none in ondo, aregbe keeps working despite the state of the nation, I see a man whose enemies and propagandists will soon gather to celebrate, keep ur good work sir, we see it daily, and we yearn for more, don't get detered the road may be rough, people may call you names now but some day, they will gather to honour you, osun a dara.

God's blessing and unimaginable lifting to every1 who partake in dignifying downtrodden in the society.

I sincerely agree with OP about ibadan, a lots look down on this city because of the ancient parts, and possibly people like me who mostly travell thru the city outskirt, and resolve that they've seen ibadan, I passed through some parts two weeks ago that I last visited 15years ago, I was totally dazed at the level of development and transformation that has taken over there. I was coming from ilorin, unfortunately the express was blocked, had to go through ojo, orogun, u.i ,sango, jericho , idinshin , oluyole, and challenge before linking the express. An amazing moment it was, this current gov has indeed done well, with great roads I saw, and level of changes and the quality of building I saw. I say bravo!

Omisore!!! Where he got all those cash, u'll wonder, this guy has never been known for producing or working anywhere. But he is so rich, questionable wealth, am from ile-ife, and have always wondered.

Whatever anyone likes let them let sayn Aregbe remains man of the people. He is the best governor in osun history, stand to be corrected. This man has vision for o, I pray there will be boom economically to achieve these goals. However, I want to disagree with the person who said ogun has better infrastucture than osun by far, it is a lie from the pit of hell, am from osun , bt hve worked and maybe you visited o

Indeed, these men are heros, bringing smile to faces of hopelessness, is undoubtedly true heroism, sacrificing your life for a nation and for others to live, and for our land to enjoy peace is priceless. Gallantry is indeed the blood of a soldier, I shed tears as I write this, this is more than jubilation, it is peace to a state, hope to nation and lives that have been batttered by violence, it is another chance to dream again, thank you to our heros(nigerian army), a million thanks to those who have sacrificed their lives. There is no greater sacrifice than this, you're the true heros, thank you mr. President, for a geniune fight against insurgency, #THEWARWILLBEOVER

The dude above me is so good at quoting fiqures for fighting boko haram. Are u privy to the one he wasted on electioneering. Several doles out of funds to criminals, touts and questionable characterr

A lion indeed, I remember how obasanjo dealth with this acclaimed lion, na usain bolt legs he borrowed to run out of ado, calling fayose a lion, is comparing life with death, that dude is just a loud mouth, and a tout, I remembered wen I was a student in ekiti in 2004, he came to address us after students protested of maltreatment from drivers. His reply and comment indeed showed, he is unintelligent, he said "I can ask police to start shooting at you(students), a gathering of over 4 thousand students with about 800 police officers, he was however fast in cunningly dance to student tunes. This dude is an empty drum, some of the things we even read, I doubt if bros is actually the one writing. I remembered the president of the SUG back then wanting to mount podium, fayose refused him, the noisy shout and angered that rented the atmosphere forced him to concur. And when he(student head) addressed us, people hailed, bt wen it was Gov's turn, some dude said, fayose olodo, meaning, dull governor, he didn't do GNS in schl. He laughed, and said, students are crazy. For me for the years of his first term in office, it was marred with killings, daramola and fasuba are few of many linked to him with cases pending in court, a gov that leads touts to assault and maim perceived enemies, no respect for elders, he had serious issues with ewi of ado-ekiti and others prominent rulers. He has an agenda, that is why he is busy shouting all around, as if these things were nt there during PDP era. he is trying to save his seat, and it could be a way to evade prosecution for numerous offences, The ekitigate saga is indeed a mind boggling revelation that could be making this guy act like he is against govt of the day. He is nothing bt a hypocrite, u condemn someone for travelling to china and days after he embarked on same. Finally, the next days of his tenure ekiti wil be nothing bt a gated city where nothing works, clearly, he is a visionless character. This is another player of amala politic( scion of adedibu dynasty). This name fits better than a lion.

This party is yet to come to terms with reality. the truth is, PDP is now a regional party, it is only strong in the SE and SS, am waiting for the outcome of ondo election which I know will go the way of APC, these guys wailing online are igbos, and they think an average nigerian or other tribes think like them. Stop deceiving yourself, a blind man knows PDP is a bad market, only people who are politically blind and ethnically bias will want a return of same party that render the nation comatose. wen u won in the face of violence in rivers, it was normal, wen it goes against you, you wail. You wailers receive brain.

My governor, my governor, naa all these IPOB youths, who. wil not face their various erosion eroded regions that are here to tarnish your good works, osun indigenes know beter, u've done well and we look forward to more developments, 10,000 workers can't hold a state to ransome. We can't continue to be backward, not until u came, osun was a shadow of itself. U. Came wit vision and We are with you, we support your developmental agendas. Past govts in osun have only succeed in salary payment. Osun must move forward under your watch. I live in lagos but visits osun often, ife , osogbo and ilesha precisely, only a blind man wil not see your works scattered all over osun, u've done well sir, continue to raise the bar of governance in osun, people who voted u know wat they saw. Ask me again if voting aregbe was right,"I'll say voting Aregbe is the best to ever happened to osun state, bringing him back for second term is wat I tagged dream coming true for osun. Osun a dara

Don't be deceived, am from ile-ife, PDP has been winning ife, then don't go beyond ife, even the senate seat, since it covers more than ife, PDP lost

Indeed, that is wise of fayose, politics should not turn us blind, bitterness should not render us to a bag of hate, the case of many young men on nairaland. U can't take away the fact that this man is indeed a great man, if u talk politics in nigerian, he is the best, the sitting president know. What makes tinubu strong and thick, still remains a mistery to his few hate

Voting this guy is indeed worth it, a mandate well given, proud of u mr. Gov, I see Lagos attaining unimaginable height before your administration end, reliable, proactive, responsible, creative, strict with human face, decent, effective and dependable. All these describe AMBO.

Unbelievable, like this news shudnt come, this were the pioneers, he made great songs and even cooking beat, this guy was truly a talent, witty, passionate and full of life. This is a big loss for the industry!

The truth be told, this is another "I just want to make sense politician", I call them loud mouth/noise makers, they do it for world to see, only a fool will believe this guy has no intention, why he no organise tent sleep there, must u announce what u do, pure rubbish.

Talk of politics, both men have made their marks, bussiness they have their signatures on some of the most well nurtured firms in the land cutting across all industries. In religion, they belong to same family, Islam! however, I can't hide my respect for bola's tinubu panache for discovering dynamic, young and competent leaders( fayemi, fashola, amosu, ambode, rauf, oshiomole, layi mohammed) and bringing them to the main front politics with his personal fund, is another thing I admire. Many wil say" he made money from Govt, how about other Govs like him that made money too and even the richers ones. What did they do wit it? A man who can invest his wealth on others to achieve great success, is a visioner and leader of leaaders. His vision in seeing beyond mere opposition to a new Nigeria, I salute him. For me Bola's a political colossus, a man whose knowledge of politics transends atiku's understanding. Despite atiku's achievement in politics and the influence he enjoys, I feel he has meet with a wrong candidate. This might just be the last of him(atiku), we will never hear in politics. Most of the poeple saying tinubu can't win, are just haters and majorly our eastern brothers, I watchout for it, but am sure none of them wil comment after the election, cos he wil win, Tinubu all the way!

This guy is just fooling INNOSON group, he bought hundreds of cars for senators and himself(senate president fleet) recently, why didn't he settle for this same cars, who is fooling who?

HBD to the most blessed n luckiiest nigerian ever, u're a gift to the worldn an achiever extra-ordinaire, u mean diferent things to different people. I wish u sound health, grace n many more beautiful years on mother earth, baba put on your dancing shoes and get in the mood! LLNP!

Goodone my governor, God bless your works, indeed a silent achiever. I see this man's 4years surpassing fashola's 8years, we are counting.

This guy is nothing but a clown and a nollywood wanabe, all he wants is just show-off, nothing more. Hypocrite, and what he engages others on, he does. He is worst than those he condemns. That is why ekiti is in shambles. This dude doesn't understand what governance is about, his last time in office his system of governance was adedibu styled, this time is show-off, spreading falsehood and engaging top politicians or perceived enemies and oppostision to divert attention form state of affairs in ekiti. Fayose has nothing to offer ekiti, it another 4 years of waiting for nothing for ekiti. I just pray this time wil not witness violence n killing, lik he did in his first time, wen I was a student in ekiti back then.

Voting proffessors, that might even be a bigger mistake, compared to jonathan. As for buhari, watchout for this govt, u'll be dazed!

I totally agree with many here, these are LIES, buhari will succeed! U shall all be put to shame.

HBD to God's general, may God continue to raise the bar of gospel thru your hands, more strength, grace and anointing, may u keep shining till the very end.....and every1 who took a moment like this to honour our daddy, God shall honour u! Daddy, it is indeed your day, put on your dancing shoe, as we activate ours to join u, God bless u sir! Igba odun odun kan, many hapy returns
