₦airaland Forum

I will like to direct the attention of the good Nairalanders to the state of confusion called Ekiti State.
Since I knew this state (or rather since it was created), there has being no meaningful development. I can say the state is one of the least developed state in Nigeria with only one or two major street.
All the so called knowledge cannot the seen anywhere around them. They claimed to be one of the state with most educated elites (which is true to a point) but that never connote they possess the fountain of knowledge. The state of Ekiti State is pathetic!
It is always one political problem or the other. What a fountain indeed!

I was in Nigeria (Ekiti State) during the past election, I can categorically say that none of the elected individuals as claimed (either AC or PDP) came to power through free and fair electoral process. Is it of the (former gov) Adebayo (AC) sharing money and mobilizing hoodlums against non party candidates in Iyin Ekiti or of a palace in the northern part of the state were both the king and the security chiefs were busy "thumbprinting" for a renown PDP candidate (now a senator)? What I saw that day showed me that all the parties were corrupt hence I refuse to give any my vote. The truth clearly showed that the result of the election was only the survival of the fittest in the world of massive election irregularities! Let no one confuse us that he was cheated, it was the electorates that were truly cheated on every sides.

Now, the latest is the issue of the legislators "sacking" all the Governor's cabinet alongside with the council heads!
Is there no better way of settling their grievances except through chaos and barbaric way. To which development level will this take the state if they continue like this? This must never be allowed to continue this way. It is clearly written on the walls that they are all after money. I think it is high time true Nigerians and her lovers come out and put a stop at the selfish tussle in the name of democracy.


Ekiti lawmakers sack 12 commissioners, 16 LG chairmen

VICTOR OGUNJE, Ado Ekiti

• They’re wasting time —Gov Oni

The Ekiti State House of Assembly yesterday in an unanimous decision, sacked all the 12 commissioners in the cabinet of Governor Segun Oni, over alleged financial profligacy. Also sacked were the caretaker chairmen in the 16 local government areas of the state, also on the same offence

The assembly was apparently miffed over the inability of the commissioners and the caretaker chairmen to render the account of their stewardship to the assembly as stipulated by law.

But the State Information Commissioner, Mr Odunayo Ategbero, who reacted to the position of the assembly members, maintained that power to hire and fire commissioner’s lies with the governor and not with any other person, saying the step was rather incongruous going by the law of the land.

He said that if the purpose of recommending their sack was because the commissioners had not render account of their stewardship to the house, the commissioners can not be blamed.

According to him, for any commissioner to brief the assembly on the affairs of his ministry, he has to be invited formally adding that there was never a time the commissioners were invited by the assembly to render their stewardship as claimed by the assembly.

Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the State, Bola Olu-Ojo in his reaction had said, it is amounted to legislative rascality for the lawmakers to have sacked the commissioners without recourse to constitution provision.

But the chairman, House Committee on the Information Committee, Chief Adebayo Morakinyo, who addressed newsmen on the resolution of the House said there was no going back on the dissolution of the councils and the sack of the commissioners who have not live up to the expectation of the state lawmakers.

He said the "sins" of the councils caretaker committees, he said include that fact that they have stayed too long in office against the provisions of the state Local Government Law which provides for only six months tenure.

The caretaker committees chairmen who were sworn in June last year have been in office for 16 months against the provision of the law, Besides, he accused the council caretaker committees of misappropriating funds accruing to the councils’ adding that almost all of the caretaker committees performed below expectation.

Adebayo who headed the ad-hoc committee that probed the accounts of the 16 councils, said the decision to dissolve the councils was made after the ad-hoc committee submitted its report which indicted the council helmsmen in the state.

However, the assembly had directed all the caretaker committees to handover to their director of administration with immediate effect saying any caretaker committee member found guilty of mis-appropriating fund would be prosecuted or handed over to the anti-graft agency for prosecution. The assembly directed that the accounts of the 16 councils be frozen with immediate effect while the house would continue with investigations into the spending of the caretaker committee.

On the issue of the commissioners, Adebayo noted that section 98 paragraph A of the standing rules of the assembly provides that each commissioner should render account of his stewardship after each year saying none of the commissioners has fulfilled this provision.

Adebayo alleged that one of the commissioners spent N2.5 million to place advertisements in the media against the lawmakers saying the commissioners have no business to continue to be part of the administration of the state. According to the lawmaker, some of the commissioners, had no regard for the lawmakers as all they were out is to set the executive against the legislature .Some of them were behind the suit instituted by one Toyin Ogunmuyite seeking to declare the seats of the lawmakers vacant on the allegation that they did not meet the mandatory 181 sittings provided in the constitution," he said.

"God of Chosen!" We really need God again in the Church!!!!!!!!

So this poster guy is a dummy?

@poster
Afterall we thank God that nothing stopped you from marrying your love at last.
Congratulations!!!!!

"Solution"! Attend their conventions!

@Rhino
do the blood test and let's know!

Either of the ways; agents of satan will love to justify the man Lucifer!

In Mark 2: 1-12, this looks like the conclution of the incidence;
After the crusade, the landlord to the property used held on to the paralytic man as he was about walking out saying;
"O Bros!, you go repair diis roof o! or Papa Jesus will have to perform another miracle of raising someone from death"

Here comes again . . . What is your point? You love to change your name?

While still alive, a woman promised her loving rich husband her total love both then and there after. And in order to show that the man meant everything to her, she made a promised to ensure that the bank balance in their joint account is buried with him after his passing on. Accoding to her, afterall, what meaning has life in the absence of such irreplaceable loving husband?
Eventually, the man died and during the interment, a friend to the widow raised a curious question; "what is that little piece I saw on him in the casket?"
The widow replied, "It was the cheque with the total balance in the account. I made the promise to my love and I must fulfil it with the whole of my heart" 

Three Christians (one a catholic, one an evangelical and one a protestant) died at the same time and went to heaven. There in the Church of heaven, the archangel in charge of service demanded which department or service unit they will like to service. The Catholic (because of his passon for sacrament) make the choice of serving as a communion steward, the evangelical (being passionate about lost souls) demanded for prayer unit, but to the amazement of everyone, the protestant demanded "Is there offering counting unit here? This time around, someone must ensure nobody is stealing like Judas!"

Peace!

Jugdement update: Segun declared winner of the election!

Is there anyone in the house following the Election Petition Tribunal verdict in Ekiti State.
Yesterday's verdict for the position Senate and House of Rep is already building up tension.
Petition against Femi Kila (PDP senator) and Fatima Raji Rasaki (PDP rep) filed by their AC counterparts were dismissed for lack of evidence
while that against Ayo Arise (PDP senator) was upheld. a new rerun was ordered within 90 days.

The reason for the tension I believe was due to the fact the contested figure between the PDP and AC goevrnorship candidates came from the constituenecy of Ayo Arise. This will be declaed today! Has anybody an update concerning this event?

Please, how do you measure a prostitute? it is based on the frequency or on commercialism.
Because these two parameters are readily available in the lives of many who neither live in a motel nor stands on allen avenue yet .  .  . . In most cases are latter discovered to be "super silencer" in the act! God have mercy!

@poster
Jugde yourself! Considering the woman being your wife. I know you wll celebrate it!

@ JeSoul
"The problem with the atheist"? It only takes the One whom they refuse to believe to solve!

Lack of knowlegde!

Africankel:
If you asked me where does he derive his power from? I will also ask you “whose name does he call?” If you answer that question and if your answer is Jesus then his power is derived from the Spirit of Christ.

Please wait a minute! With no prejudice, this statement fell short of biblical truth and also shows an incomplete understanding of the scriptures

Matt 7:21
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

If you wait until a preacher calls the name of "Ayelala" or "Olokun" before you know him to be a false prophet, then you would have being decieved till thy kingdom come.
Nevertheless, I think I like Pastor Chris except for the way his male Pastors recieves "jerry curled hair" as part of the tenets of faith and his female Pastors dress in short skirts under the syndrome of "there is therefore no condemnation. . "
Shhhhhhh!  please "loveworlders" accept my apology if I have spoken  too much ,afterall its still a love world!
