Like for pdp share for apc

You are wasting your time. Ekiti is a lesson for you. Elections are not won on NL.

They should wait for me before they open the granite casket. I need to sanctify the place. Otherwise everyone on earth will go for it. Lol.

sarrki:
They are not core northern extraction

They are pdp and from minority in the north

I don’t want to play religious cards

But they are Christians

What about Babangida Aliu? What about Dasuki who is locked up for several years against court direction? Wailers will always have excuse.

I strongly feel Fayose needs constant surveillance to prevent him from harming himself or other people. He appears mentally unstable in public.

Before you quote me, rethink. I'm neither a PDP or APC apologist. I live and work in Ado-Ekiti in one of the Federal Agencies.

The election was free and fair in counting starting from pooling units in my area down to numerous next. BUT the fact still remains that an unpopular party will always be no matter what, believe me or not , 80 percent of APC votes in my area was bought by them. They coerceed the voters with cash, 5k, 7k ..depends on your bargaining power and you have to show the apc agents before you get paid. They had a field day without hindrance from any security agents. Most police vans were seen carrying APC agents with cash for proper and even distribution. In lieu of this all....Take a look at the margin, less than 20k votes which in MY opinion doesn't mean that the winner is popular and acceptable due to the fact that some voters somewhere amounting to that MAY wish to vote for PDP but got denied due to one logistics or other but Ekiti people have spoken and their voice need to be heard.

One thing that I note is that the era of stuffing ballot boxes is over but NEVER can we overcome votes buying and selling because they will always bring policies that we make us dance to their tune.

Once again, I repeat , the votes were counted not just written as some might perceived.

PDP also paid money to people, it's everywhere in the news. That's not an excuse. Jagaban's method is to use the method of evil to remove evil, then do good and let people decide based on the good you have done. That principle has been applied in Lagos, to the extent that nobody bribes a voter now in Lagos. They know who to vote for.

mfm04622:
Kindly provide evidence he was molested! He was slapped by policemen? What were his security doing? If i support a candidate that lies so transparently, i will rather keep quiet than show the whole world i just comment without thinking

I thought he said he was the Commander in Chief in Ekiti state. How was the C in C slapped and teargassed when his ADC and chief security officer were with him? Yeye dey smell!!!

I hereby increase the wailing volume for the EGBERE (demon) wailers. I have thrown the volume key into Atlantic Ocean. So, wailing continues till thy kingdom come. Lol.

masterchi:
1. Rivers state has paid,
2. Lagos was not develeped by your APC. Lagos was once FCT of Nigeria.
3. Let there be true federalism and those oil multinationals are forced to relocate to the niger delta then we will see how large the economy of lagos is.
4. I hate tribalism but your Lagos would have been just like any other state without Niger Delta Oil and being former FCT of Nigeria.

Calabar was once FCT, yet not as developed as Lagos. Lagos also has its own oil. Lagos was and is still being developed by progressive governors, not federal government, even when it was FCT.

I can see how wonderful APC are doing in southwest, it very shameful five states can't pay salary without federal allocation or loan.

FAAC crisis: 14 governors can’t pay salaries

Some states’ inability to meet vital financial obligations without allocation from the Federal Government is becoming clearer by the day following the deadlock in the Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting. As at today, not less than 14 states currently owe workers’ salaries for June, following delay in disbursement of funds from the centre.

The situation has also been made worse by poor internal revenue generation (IGR) mechanism and over-bloated civil service structure put in place by some of the governors. New Telegraph’s survey across states revealed that while a few are up to date in salary payment from their IGR and possible surplus from federal allocation, some others resort to short-term loan facilities from banks to meet same obligation.

A FAAC source confirmed this to one of our correspondents, saying that states that managed to pay June salary to civil service workers under the current circumstance did so with bank loans. According to the source, “Few states paid while the deadlock persists.
They took loans from banks. I don’t have the number of states, but I spoke with the Chairman of Commissioners for Finance Forum, Mr. Mahmoud Yunusa, on phone yesterday and he told me states that paid did so with facility from banks.

“Banks will readily lend funds to any state that approaches them for loan knowing that over N600 billion is being awaited from FAAC.” The current development is reaffirmation of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s position in May that without monthly allocations from FAAC, it would be difficult for most states of the federation to survive. Some of the states currently plunged into this dilemma include Ondo, Ogun, Taraba, Kwara, Abia, Borno, Osun, Imo, Rivers, Oyo, Ekiti, Kogi, Benue, and Nasarawa. The matter has also been made worse by recent spat between the state governors and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) over allegation that the state-owned oil firm failed to remit full amount to the entire joint venture proceeds from the sale of crude oil to the Federation Account for five years. While reacting to the situation, some top officials of the affected states, who spoke with New Telegraph, blamed the situation on delay in the disbursement of allocation by FAAC. In Ondo State, for instance, the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Yemi Olowolabi, confirmed the development, saying that the June salaries was being delayed due to non-receipt of allocation from the federation account. The amount accruing to the state government from the federation account is between N4.8 billion and N5 billion on monthly basis, and the amount paid as salary to civil servants at the state level is N4.8 billion while workers at local governments get N2.8 billion. In Taraba State, a senior civil servant in the state’s Ministry of Finance attributed the delay to the deadlock at the last FAAC meeting. He put the salary and pension bills of the state at N2.1 billion monthly. Also in Kwara, which has a wage of bill of about N2.4 billion monthly, Senior Special Assistant (Media and Communication) to Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed, Dr. Muiden Akorede, said government was exploring alternative means to ensure payment while expressing hope that the delay from FAAC would be handled without much delay. “The government is exploring alternative funds for payment of salaries pending the release of allocation in the interest of workers’ welfare. Meanwhile, we are hopeful that the FAAC issue will be resolved soon,” he said. In Abia State, the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Obinna Oriaku, also attributed the delay to non-disbursement of allocation from the federation account. According to the commissioner, who put the state’s monthly wage bill at about N2.3 billion, “the state government has not paid June salary because of the face-off between the Federal Ministry of Finance and the NNPC. “The problem is not peculiar to Abia. It’s all over the federation, including the Federal Government. Even the Federal Government has not paid.” In Ogun State, the Ibikunle Amosun-led administration has yet to pay the June salary of its workforce. Although the state had always paid salaries as and when due, the current delay may not be unconnected with the disagreement between state governors and NNPC over remittances to the Federation Account. Many civil and public servants who spoke with our correspondent in Abeodence kuta said the state government has not paid them for last month. They cited the logjam over federal allocation to states as reason given by the authorities. The state’s monthly wage bill is reportedly in the region of N9 billion, consisting of state and local government salaries and allowances as well as subventions to state-owned tertiary institutions. In Borno, the Chairman of the state’s chapter of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Titus Ali Abana, blamed the nonpayment on the FAAC quandary. Osun State, with a wage bill of N3.5 billion, has also not paid its workers for June. When contacted, Secretary, NLC, Osun State chapter, Mr. Rufus Adeyemi, said the delay in receipt of federal allocation was having negative effects on workers in the state. Adeyemi said: “We implore all those involved in the imbroglio to resolve it. Nothing should affect our salary. We really hope this matter is resolved soonest.” The situation is the same in Imo State. Speaking to New Telegraph, the Chairman of Imo State chapter of NLC, Comrade Austin Chilakpu, categorically stated that no civil servant in the state had been paid salary for the month of June. He said: “The excuse we got was that the Accountant General has been going to FAAC meetings, but the state has not received any fund yet due to the FAAC stalemate.” The state has a monthly wage bill in the neighbourhood of N2.5 billion. The non-disbursement of allocation has also affected River State, which is known for not owing workers. A source put the state’s monthly wage bill close to N7 billion, including pension. On his part, the Commissioner for Information, Oyo State, Mr. Toye Arulogun, said even the May salary had not been paid owing to the delay in the release of federal allocation. His words: “As you are aware, the Oyo State Government deploys 110% of its federal allocation to the payment of salaries in line with its agreement with labour. The FAAC impasse is obviously the cause of the delay of the payment of May salary. Governor Abiola Ajimobi has approved the payment of May salaries and it will be disbursed immediately the government gets the funds to make up the total.” Oyo State’s wage bill is currently about N4.5 billion. On the part of Ekiti, the Commissioner for Finance, Chief Niyi Ojo, said the state had not received federal allocation to offset the state’s monthly wage bill, which stands at N1.7 billion, noting the figure would move up to N2.4 billion if cooperative deductions, gratuities, pensions and sundry allowances were added. In Kogi State, Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Idris Asiru, said the Yahaya Bello administration was putting machinery in motion to create more revenue sources that will free the state on over dependant on federal allocation. According to him, the state will soon get to the stage of other states that pay salaries without dependence on federal allocation. In Benue, Governor Samuel Ortom, who currently owes workers over 10 months salaries, is also a victim of the current federation allocation deadlock. Apart from the current dilemma facing all the states, the governor had said that the increasing wage bill of the state, which now stands at over N7.8 billion was responsible for his inability to pay salaries. The Nasarawa State Chairman of NLC, Comrade Abdullahi Adeka, also blamed the delay on non-receipt of funds from FAAC. However, while the affected states are keeping their fingers crossed until the matter is resolved at the federal level, some other states with strong IGR base have long paid June salaries and moved ahead. States in this region are Cross River, Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Sokoto. Others are Bauchi, Adamawa, Enugu, Niger, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Plateau, Ebonyi, Yobe, Katsina, Jigawa, Anambra, Gombe and Kebbi.

If a Yoruba state earns as much as Aqua Ibom or Rivers state the 13% derivation, they would have so developed to the extent that cessesion from Nigeria would have long taken place. It's only a matter of time when Lagos will secede from Nigeria. As it is, it is the fifth largest economy in Africa. Neither Rivers nor Aqua Ibom that receive more allocations for oil is in the same league as Lagos. Thanks to APC and the legacy of good governance over the years.

Fayose should come and seek asylum in Biafra. We will grant his asylum request. �

For the PDP spewing fake results, this is the authentic results from INEC HQ.

They should transplant her heart? Good idea but bad for the patient. He will also become heartless like her. She already has a deceased heart for fleecing on a sick man.

PDP will never come back to rule Nigeria. At worst we will give IPOB their Biafra, dash them the PDP and Atiku, Saraki and Alison Madueke. These are enough to finish their resources and destroy Biafra in just 5 years. All the oyell will be sold to foreigners and peanuts given to their people as royalties. Yes, corruption is enough to kill off Biafra and it's dreams, that's the lesson they need to learn.

This is nothing different from the executive orders signed by Donald Trump. If anyone feels it breached their rights, they should go to court to challenge it. The president has the right to sign them under the presidential system of government and the constitution. The house of reps and Senate have refused to pass the anti corruption bill for two years because they will be the first casualties.

Firefire:
By the GRACE of God Almighty, APC will surely fail in their enterprise in Ekiti.


Only religious extremists and potential suicide bombers will want APC to take over Ekiti state.

What has been the achievement of APC in the states where they rule? Osun, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun etc and even at the center? Nothing but pains and death. APC, I repaeat, you will be disgraced by the God of the mountains.


Good people of Ekiti SAY NO to the terrorist organization called APC. We would never give our heritage to the terrorist group.

Jonathan was a terrorist financier who made sure Boko Haram almost seized the whole of Nigeria. Thank God we got rid of him.

Donald95:
Since Buhari came into power, he has been trying his best to throw South East into Chaos but God will never allow their plans to work. It will keep on back firing on him.

*modified*

It was earlier reported that South East Governors has rejected Donating Land for cattle ranching, Now the Terrorist President is not happy with this so he wants to send Fulani Terrorists to SE to strike fear into people and then he will propose a solution which will point to the same old story giving land to Fulani . Buhari is a Terrorist that works with intimidation and when people are afraid


Evil man

You need a brain transplant. A lunatic brain is ready. Yes, it's better than the one you have.

SadiqBabaSani:
Not only Benue Any Nigerian Who Votes Buhari Is Cursed.

Who shall we vote for? Criminals and thieves worse than him?

Muslims will always stand on truth, no matter who is the truth bearer. We have been enjoined to be truthful to all people. We will never support a corrupt leader no matter his tribe or race. Christians may choose an Obasanjo over a Buhari just because of his religious affiliation, even if it is glaring that Obasanjo was corrupt, that's their own cup of tea. If a Christian comes out as the banner of genuine anticorruption fight, all muslims will support him.

STORY !!!

The Only Plot I know of is the Determination of Nigerians to Ensure that Pmb is Permanently Defeated, Diabled and Retired at the Polls!

Most of us outside the Country are coming Fully Prepared with our Pvc's to Send Buhari Permanently to Daura .....

Who are the "most of us"? I live in UK and most people here are pro Buhari. We are also coming home to vote for him. We know the schemings of evil forces against Buhari. The only barometer of measuring a good leader for those who are unaware, is the acceptance if that leader by the international communityty. Buhari commands the greatest respect any Nigerian leader, past or present has got. And I am not talking only of western leaders, leaders from everywhere in the world respect and adore him. They know better than us because their secret services know the incorruptible leaders. They are not tainted by ethnic malaria of IPod and the jaundiced religious bigotry of CAN.

It appears like a fixed drug reaction. Have you noticed it getting itchy, red, painful and more exuberant after taking a certain medication? If that's the case, you are allergic to the drug. Stop using it, after sometime perhaps a year, it will disappear. Another possibility is allergic dermatitis. A course of topical steroid will help.

Just as some others have stated, this is a brachial plexus injury. You need to be seen by a paediatric neurologist, who will examine your child. A nerve conduction study etc may be necessary.

African players are not thoroughbred professionals. They take their eyes off the ball when it matters most. That's why we lose our matches in last few minutes to the end of matches. Argentina has done it twice to us, losing to them in dieing minutes. We need to learn that discipline.

Petrol tanker owners are the ones who colluded in destroying the railway system in Nigeria. That's what we are told.

They will bribe their leaders and the rest will be shut up.

SalamRushdie:
This man is one of the few Nigerians saying it as it is

We still remember his antecedents under GEJ. By their fruits ye shall know them. Muslim's were among those killed by all these criminals. What does he have to say on that? Religious leaders playing politics of war with their adherents. If the war breaks, they will be the first to enter their already revving private jets, off they fly to UK and US, leaving the poor members to die. They are using religion for business purpose. The wrath of God is over the fake religious leaders.

Passenger27:
I have seen the picture of church. How about that of mosque. Or are Moslems not welcomed in UNICAL?

There is a mosque near the male hostels in Malabor in those days. We helped in building it but not as big as the church. The Catholic members in calabar town built that church.

hardbody:
These pics are doing a whole lot of injustice to this university. It's simply a beautiful university, silently churning out academic gurus over time. Some of its strongest faculties include theatre arts, medicine and law. Of the 8 of us that that graduated second upper in my set, we have a judge, a SAN, a couple of high profile executive management gurus in banks and financial services outfits, we have a law dean, amongst others. If I had to live my life again, i will still be a malabite

Malabites!!! Axcion! You are right. There are many malabite medical doctors here in UK and US doing great. The foundation of our education was sound indeed.

The first and last men should exchange their trousers. That's my piece of advice, no vex please.

Please change Iheanacho. He is selfish and slow.

Did anyone see her falling from sky? If she truly has mental illness she might have been delusional, she might have wandered away from home due to her illness. They need to investigate properly before sentencing an innocent person to another physical ordeal.

But how on earth did this people peddling religious connotation into every crime get to know the Victims were all Christians? To my mind, the looters of Nigerian treasury want to use religion to divide the electorates and climb on the back of religious sentiments to come back and loot Nigeria dry once again. And the gullible ones will swallow line hook and sinker as expected. Buhari disappoints me though, by refusing to take decisive actions very quickly. Otherwise, I don't know what he is waiting for before he reorganises the security system. Miyeti Allah will destroy his political career if he doesn't take action now.

EliteBiz:
And Atiku oo, Obasanjo ooo, Tinubu ooo, Buhari oo, all oda old corrupt Nigeria politicians that refuse to quit, na fire go burn all of dem, if u quote me fire!!!!

I am also afraid of the youth who have been infested with yahoo yahoo get-rich-quick syndrome. They will finish Nigeria if given leadership positions.
