₦airaland Forum

The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties and Coalition of
Civil Society Groups on Wednttesday took to the streets of
Ado Ekiti to condemn Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose’s
tax policy.
The group consisting of the Coalition of South-West Youths,
Ekiti Youth Vanguard, Omoluabi Grassroots Coalition, Coalition
of Progressive Youths, and Ekiti Progressive Women Alliance
expressed their dissatisfaction with the N1,000 per pupil
development levy the state government had imposed on
primary and secondary school pupils.
The placard-carrying protesters marched from Old Garage
Junction to Ojumose Junction.
Some of the placards they waved read, ‘Enough of Rudderless
and Dictatorial Government in Ekiti’, ‘We are not happy with
the image Fayose is giving Ekiti’ and ‘It is Wrong for Primary/
Secondary Students to Pay Tax.’
Private schools in the state had on Monday declared a three-
day strike to protest against the N1,000 levy.
The National Association of Proprietors and Proprietresses of
Private Schools in Ekiti contended that the extension of the
levy to private schools was contrary to the spirit and letter of
Section 42(1) (a) and (b) of the 1999 Constitution.
The CNPP Chairman in the state, Tunji Ogunlola, and
spokesman for the group, Ayo Adelabu, during the protest
march, slammed Fayose’s tax policy.
He advised the governor to reverse the policy to prevent the
crisis from affecting the education sector.
He added, “Governor Fayose and his people have been
disgracing Ekiti. How can the 22 lawmakers go to Abuja to
protest against the DSS at the American Embassy? This shows
the level of indolence and anti-intellectual governance we
have in Ekiti.”
The coordinator of the Movement Against Corrupt Leaders, Mr
Yomi Osho, said, “Fayose cannot coerce the private school
owners into reopening their schools. They are fighting against
multiple taxes prohibited by the 1999 Constitution. The
governor is exploiting them, this is unacceptable.”
The coordinator of the Coalition of Progressives Youths,
Damilare Bewaji, said, “We are opposed to the imposition of
taxes everywhere, particularly on the pupils when their parents
are also paying.
“Pupils are suffering, market men and women are displaced
and crippled by various taxes. In the history of Ekiti, pupils in
private schools had never been asked to pay and it is now
happening under Fayose.”

What do these Boko people really want. If someone promised them anything please hr should go and give them. A bargain is a bargain because I don't understand anymore.

Initially, it was for GEJ to go then it changed to sharia states. Now we have a Muslim president who believes in Sharia.
Then what else do they want. If it is negotiations the govt is ready but of there is something else someone should be bold to come out and say it.

You are just no get sense my guy. Getting sense na simple thing na. just get sense...

medpren:
you are a damned yorubaman, if you want to live with awusa Fulani, take all your children and head to borno in the spirit of "one nigeria". Who biafra don help? Biafra help made easterners realize their God-given potentials, they refined their own oil and they manufactured weapons just the west did during the world wars. If Biafra had been left alone, we would be exporting military hardwares to other countries for foreign exchange.

it's either you are an Ignorant easterner or lying yorubaman pretending to be Igbo.

You didn't address any of the issues I raised. Biafra never helped anybody. don't bring any if to say here... Address the points I raised. Be there claiming more Igbo than me. You say I am Yoruba? You hate Yoruba, Right? lol... I love Yoruba because they don't have time to waste hating on anybody

SleekAboki:
Iara input to oshobaba life is been under rated.I hope insurance covered her in case of incasity.

Lol. Azzzzzinn

SamiraF:
Silly impressionable fellow. Can any sensible person compare this pretty bit of instagram modelling fluff called Iara that was contracted to console Oshiomole's mid-life crisis to the good woman his late wife Clara Oshiomole who died a lonely painful death from brain cancer while Oshiomole was shining his drilling tool?

How is someone guilty of the love of his life dying? All the years he stayed alone to honour her memory is it not enough? What is your problem with The Egbon? He should remain alive all his life? The fact that he went for someone like this, a trophy wife, is further proof of the love he had for Clara...

TippyTop:
Iara should take as many selfies as she likes, she gonna need them to remind herself of the opulence she enjoyed whilst "servicing" Edo state.
She won't be able to take selfies in prison in few months time.

For what? For being awesome or being foreign? Or making a sad widower the happiest man I have seen in recent times

udokpuenyi:
Point of correction onitshagworo abi wetin den dey call youself.

An full fledged and fearless Igboman look straight into Malam Rochas Okorocha face and told him whom he is.
Take your Anambra 'asslicking sentiment' to another thread.

This is just the beginning, "a child who said his mother will not sleep has to stay awake also to prevent his mother from sleeping"

Very soon both Nigeria and abroad will be to difficult for Nigerian wicked politician to stay.

this is just Genesis chapter 1 verse 1.

Rochas is an Igbo man. The anambra man is a bloody liar as h
no Igbo person has been murdered in my state IMO. I am from Oru East Local Government, Akatta Village and I support my governor because he has transformed my state and he has made peace effort towards the ipob crises. no other south east governor has done that. protesters have been killed in Abia, Rivers and Anambra but you people support these governors and call them heroes. please stop this lies. I keep on asking the question. who Biafra don help. which people them offend wey make us want Biafra. the elites wey don chop belle full. the elites like Foreign schooled Ojukwu or London based Nnamdi KANU. wake up from your sleep. they don't love you. if KANU escape from that prison he will drive straight to UK in a white Mercedes Benz leaving protesters to die on the street for him. then he will give a fresh broadcast on Radio Biafra from his new base... Tueeeeeeh... I spit on the grave of those who hate us but we seem to love. and I say we as a full fledged Igbo man...

FvckeDyoBiTch:
WHAT THE ACTUAL FVCK?...Niggas these days coming in with Pvssys for divks...why would I ever bottle feed my kid and post the pictures on the net...ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING...FVCKBOY

Na you be the fuckboy. how old are u? 12?

Whoever said there are two sides to a story was a bloody liar. All I am saying is that the Emir of Kano is sha innocent in this matter. emphasis on this matter

gurunlocker:
still waiting for the zombies to come and say rubbish after this.... then I will confirm they have a dry dead brain

But Reno and OKupe have only confirmed what Prof said. GEJ did not start any new road project or finish any new road project. NEW. NEW. NEW

Just look at their names. Tufiakwa...

seunlayi:
[size=18pt]this is a nice suggestion after using those tools to SPAM over 14 millions Nigerians[/size]

OLODO. You didn't read the article

rman:
Which street? What facts?

The settings has been made before u embarked on your fact finding mission, what do u hope to find?

This same Nigeria that we all believed Gulder Ultimate search is real and we watch big brother religiously. Common!

LOL
This guy is taking this thing too seriously. Why I go go street go ask question? I dey mad? I am more skeptic than you. But ur own too much. Just relax and enjoy yourself, nobody is asking you to believe anything here. However, you are wrong on this one... Just dropit

rman:
Online super star, well done..everything u are holding onto was fed to u. In real life, I can bet u cannot look me in the face and call me hopeless.

Some of u are so insecure u resort to personal attacks to drive your points home....

I don't believe in coincidences and that is just it.

The exact storyline that will make shallow people like u, who are by the way in the majority buy into this bullshit...believe me it is working fine. Have u bought the magazine? If not ,keep shut!

It have do. You have an opinion based on how deep you are. An Opinion. I have facts. You will tell me how much they will pay random people on a street to say they know a woman that sells bread in their area they have been seeing for years or if her selling bread on the street for years was part of the fairytale. I got offline to the streets to get facts you are here online with your opinions, who is the troll?

rman:
What is grass to grace in this?

That the same set of people kept promoting this model so they can charge a premium for her services.

No one can convince me on this agege bread model ish..even if the girl na my sister and TY Bello is my wife.

This na packaging and it is working.

Then you are a hopeless human being. If you understand Yoruba and watched that video and you are still saying this then you need help seriously. I investigated it myself and she is a 27 year old mother of two including the infant she's carrying in the Front page. she was a real bread seller who was passing by when the Tinie Tempeh shoot was going on and TV decided to integrate her in the shoot. You can go to that street to find out yourself. This success story is not even unbelievable set. I have seen first hand stories that look like TV series... Change your OT seriously. If you don't have superior evidence, then keep quiet and move along

Medunah:
Yes I am jealous, because wat every girl my age wants is to get married, Msheeew.

Your comment, your personal text, your name, your flat tummy... I'm in love....

rman:
All is part of the packaging

Na wa to you oh. have you never seen a grass to grace story before?

rman:

Nor mind am.....
Na famz he just go do dia. He tell us say he don work with Hova and Yezzy. Na since 2012 O we don hear this one. Na 2016 we dey.The joint wey he work as producer with them,we never hear am.

You did not hear Lift Off featuring Beyonce from the Watch the Throne album? Use Google to check the producers my guy. He also worked on other songs but they were not picked for the album

Omoluabi16:
I weep for this country.Tribalism has eaten so deep into the marrow of every darned person. The president has forgotten his primary responsibility to the country, and is busy settling scores..yes, seems like a personal vendetta. while I'm firmly supporting justice against corruption, Nigeria is on the precipice.Unguarded and inciting statements here and there..broken electoral promises. Igbos are supporting metuh because he is igbo, The hausa's will adore buhari till till Jesus comes even if naira slides to 1k/1$ . we need to restructure this country asap!

But I support Buhari and I am Igbo. I despise Metuh because he stole our commonwealth. The only tribalistic person here I you. You mirror the Nigerian you are condemning

How can this happen. I thought Buhari was in control of INEC. Just when I was recovering from Wike winning Supreme Court judgement from Buhari's Court which he also disregards and flaintts their judgement

My babe is coming to my club. E remain Kelechi Iheanacho

Ehen. at last. Ghen Ghen

kay29000:
I guess Ice Prince doesn't want to agree that he has to take a 'L' for this girlfriend cheating situation, so he is sticking with letting the world feel he doesn't care about the scandal. Even Biggie took an 'L' when his woman slept with the enemy (Tupac).

please what does L mean?

Let them work. if they find the arms. it will be to your own benefit

Why una like fake news like this? How can the bride be wearing the same thing with her sister abi na friend. and the groom dey shy snap with him bride. Rubbish bigotry

I have only one question to ask: What good has Biafra ever brought us?

Congrats my man. It seems you are taking that your name: Daddy really seriously marrying at this young age.that girl old even old pass you sef. Na wa oh

TonyeBarcanista:
Our own local stations won't dare this.


#Copy and Paste journalism

Not entirely true. A Channles reporter wwas killed while reporting Boko Haram sometime last year

doublewisdom:
Just as Buhari vowed to "make Nigeria ungovernable" for GEJ the host of demons have also vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable for Buhari. Talk of sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind!

But Buhari NEVER made a statement like that...

BoleynDynaSTY:
My point is where we are nw is nothing like where we should be compared to where we were b4

I hear you. I am sure Udenwa didn't do quater of what Okorocha has done,. Yet he is not vilified like an outsider as Rochas is. Look at almost all the comments here: Calling him Okoroawusa because of his national appeal. It is disheartening that people are not seeing the good in the guy. Sad
