did you watch their under17 african championship? if you did, you would curse the injury that happened to success at UAE

and 3 years after the injury what have we seen of him? Samson siasia under 23 coach had to borrow awoniyi in a make or break away match in Zambia to qualify for all Africa games. match ended 0-0 in Nigeria, it took awoniyis brace to secure a 2-1 away victory for qualification.

Some people sha them no de see truth as it is unfolding in Burudi. If someone has done well accept it simple. President Jonathan is a man of his word.
Ok people die in Ivory Cost and Gbagbo is still alive & will not be killed. He can only go to Jail. life goes on

hush with your sycophancy! who told you gbagbo won't be killed BTW,his wife already on over 20 yrs imprisonment more like life imprisonment. Gbagbos trial is ongoing.

Jonathan was under enormous pressure, much of it from the outside world, even wen some of his sycophants were threatening he will hand over to the military . The external world will react differently to a case of Nigeria with 200 million population than a tiny Burundi. My point is that without these internal and external pressures and alarm on him pre election, the story would have been different.

Your Ooni Gbese failures is not a yardstick

Rather than ask why your parasitic state is owing you are using other states non payment of salaries as justification why your panla dry rascal governor is owing you fools


Finally, Akwa Ibom is not owing jacksh1t as at today so you can shove that useless article up your pile ridden azz

Foolish Taju

bloody assshole, hush and STFU again.

You morooons leave your bigger problems and focus on others. Is anything more mooronic than that? Thief Orji you all called devil and the worst governor in the globe was hugely rewarded with a senatorial position gift.

Tout leaders are only effective when not in opposition, that must be the cause of his silence.

Story!

Poverty is no excuse.

Akwa Ibom is not owing their workers. It is only Cross River that is owing.

And for your info all ND states have since adopted federal wage rates.

Osun state workers earn less than their counterparts in Cross River.

And if there is any state that has it worse as per reduced allocations it is Cross River which is no longer an oil producing state since losing oil wells to Akwa Ibom and Bakassi to Cameroun but you don't hear their state governor lamenting.

Useless osogbo fool

Keep shut u ediiot !.

It emerged on Friday, May 22, 2015, that 18 out of 36 states of the federation would begin an indefinite strike on Monday, May 25, 2015, over unpaid salaries and pensions.
The states involved are Abia, [size=18pt]Akwa Ibom[/size] , Bauchi, Benue, Cross River, Ekiti, Imo, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers and Zamfara.
The General Secretary, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, who gave the hint said the congress had sent its task force team to the states to enforce the strike.
“The various Task Forces are working. Plateau is on strike, Cross Rivers is going on Monday; the various task forces are working. A team is leaving for Benue to commence action; they are now free to commence action and we are supporting them,” he said.
He said Abia State had not paid salaries of workers of the State Teaching Hospital for nine months; owing workers of the Hospital Management Board eight months’ salary; Abia State Universal Basic Education Board, six months; Abia State Polytechnic, five months; local government workers, four months; and teachers, three months’ salary arrears.
Furthermore, he said though Enugu State had paid salaries of civil servants up to date, parastatals were owed 12 months’ salaries and pension and gratuity remained unpaid since 2010.
Other states owing salaries are Osun State with six months’ salary and pension arrears; Plateau with six months salaries and seven months pension arrears; Benue with five months salaries and four months pension arrears; Kogi with four months of pension and salary arrears; and Oyo which owes three months salaries and between five and 11 months of pension arrears, he said.
“Jigawa owes judiciary workers a month salary arrears in 2015; Ondo one month salary and pension arrears, while Ogun owes one month salary and 52 months of unremitted pension deductions to the Pension Fund Administration.
“Although Zamfara State has paid workers’ salaries up to date, the salaries of workers who were recruited in 2014 have not been paid,” he stated.
The NLC also stated that Rivers State owes one month of workers’ salaries and three months of pension while Kano has yet to pay newly employed teachers for three months.
Meanwhile, a senior civil servant in the Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Mr. Ojo Owolabi, has attempted to end his life over his inability to feed his family due to the failure of the state government to pay salaries.
Civil servants in the state have not been paid their salaries in the past six months, it was learnt.
Owolabi was reported to have attempted to take his life by drinking a large quantity of insecticide at his residence last Saturday.
Owolabi, a sanitary officer at the council, was rushed to the hospital and was receiving treatment.
Sources said he became frustrated as a result of his inability to meet his family’s needs.
“Baba Ibeji drank herbicide. He was frustrated because he has been unable to feed himself and other members of his family. You are aware that the state government has not paid workers for some months now. I think he just lost hope and decided to take his life by drinking Gramoxone,” the source said.
The Chairman, Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, Mr. David Owoeye, who confirmed the incident said: “We don’t want to make it public so that it will not embarrass the family.”
A factional Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Gambi Yusuf, said that unpaid salaries had caused workers untold hardship.
“Anybody who is not paid for six months is a walking corpse. What do you expect him to eat? How do you expect the workers to feed their children?” he queried.
He advised government to be more serious about workers’ welfare.
“We are appealing to the government to pay workers because workers deserve their wages,” he stated.

This man sha, he tried to write sanely, but still he misses the mark.

No one was turned back from voting for card reader not reading his/her fingerprints after all said and done , so, what is the fuss?.

The international pressure and concentration was enormous, so GEJ had only one life saving option to accept his loss. Nigeria is no burundi, the secretary of state , USA was here to meet the two political gladiators weeks to the election, Obama specifically spoke to Nigerians and political actors in a special video message days to the election, Obj & co kept reminding GEJ what happened to Gbagbo of Ivory coast. GEJ would be deposed in matter of weeks , if he had refused to accept the loss.

Forget those sophisticats, their mumuism knows no boundaries

STFU, OVER 18 states are owing workers, even Akwa Ibom state with the fattest allocation.

Osun state currently has the least allocation. What Akpabio earns in 0ne year, Aregbesola has not earned in 4.5 years.

Osun state govrn has ambitious projects at the least to show, many of the state governors owning have not paid salaries, and can still not point to any tangible projects even 8 years down the line.

Most Nigerians did not trust GEJ and crew with the proceeds from the subsidy, as we saw with the failed SURE-P, which was financed from partial removal of subsidy.

New refineries can be built in 18-24 months. I learnt even with the current scarcity , over 1.8 billion naira is spent dailly,on subsidy of petrol price.

Subsidy must go immediately after the probe of the sector, Govt must build at least 3 new refineries ASAP to surpass our current local demands and put an end to importation of refined fuel, it might later privatise the refineries in phases.

I have said times without number, this ben bruce lee fellow is rarely in touch with reality, he is a megalomaniac.

How much is an electric car btw?

Put this fellow as an executive of a state, then it will be tales of white elephant projects, and building castles in the sky.

All these horsetrading and rigmaroling is because the South east did not vote a returning APC senator.

He should be charged for "attempted suicide" in Nigeria, but he must be extradited in the interim, and then if he makes it back to Nigeria, he will face the attempted suicide charge

The day this fool contested for the senatorial post and won is the day he deserves to be extradited,

The idiiot had no business holding an elective or selective post, so as to avoid public scrutiny, but the gods wanted to kill him, they made him mad first. I hope edwin clark who advised him to contest as senator will follow him to the usa.

The empty headed money bag in typical PDP style spent money like it was going out of fashion to secure election victory, he manipulated the poor and ignorant with wads of dollars&naira, hundreds of thousands of packaged rice, and gifts to get their votes. If he is not reined now, the empty drug lord will be gunning for the number 1 position in Ogun state. He is Fayose's right hand man, and was instrumental to fayose's rice project victory in ekiti.

I am not surprised about the exploit of the Yoruba General, history of yorubas in getting breakthrough in complex warfare abounds.

Even, the only victory by Biafra in the Nigerian civil war through capture of the midwest was by a Yoruba man who was recruited from captivity. Gowon also recruited a yoruba man from captivity to serve as his vice president during the war.

The man is an idiiot, Lack of term limit is one of the biggest reasons why there are lots of sit tight irresponsible leaders in many African countries , in actual fact, no country should have a constitution not indicating term limit of two terms. Burundi is now looking like it will go back in to the yesteryears of wars and coup, because the president wants to go for third term unconstitutionally.

Systems and institutions not individual.

Lagos saves 15% of its monthly igr, it is from this , it service its bonds, it currently has over 100 billion in that account, meanwhile Lagos debt is like 150 billion naira. No cause for alarm about Lagos debts.

They should give birth to the babies, and they can be offered for adoption on request of the mothers

Like play Like play, Fayose don spend 8 months as governor, wetin he don commission sef ? ok, which major project has he embarked on? ok ooooo , he don use like 20% of his tenure sha

A thread like this exposes the uncommon braggadocio of akpabio. Lagos and Akwaibom has about the same annual budget, but Akpabio has a richer capital expenditure budget than Fashola, He claims to allocate 80% of his budget on Capital Projects, but when it is time to show these projects, the project rack is close to empty, Akpabio only dusts the likes of Seriake Dickson of bayelsa. In this WWW world, no one needs to be in Akwa ibom to see projects, just like you dont need to be in Lagos to be aware of Lagos state projects. I can bet this thread has even made some living in Lagos to be more aware of Lagos state projects, even though they have always lived in Lagos.

Ibos and persecution complex.

That is why a wicked part of me wants ibo to get biafra, the epic disaster in waiting is better imagined. .

I laugh in Biafra.

Ogun will have no cause to worry about Federal allocation in less than 4 years from now, that is heartening news.

A lot happens wihin that eastern axix that stays unreported, i learnt Obiano now tackles kidnapping in Anambra by demolishing buildings of kidnap kingpins, and many buildings have been brought down.

soe:
Lol

So it took him 7days to debunk the allegation.

Anyway, i have yabbed him already.

And like i said before, it is not about how many votes the yorubas gave to buhari, but how many votes they denied Jonathan.

Take the 1.8 million votes given to Buhari by southwest and add it to Gej's votes..what will you get?

Buhari: 15.4million - 1.8million = 13.6million
Jonathan: 12.4 milion + 1.8million = 14.2 million

So do you see what the Yorubas did for Buhari?

Anyone saying Yorubas didn't help Buhari as much as the North did should not be referred to as a fool cos that will be unfair to him

A fool is someone who has refused to use his brain.

You cannot call a brainless fellow a fool...i mean... It's just not available noni

It was actually 2.4 million votes from SW to buhari

I am not surprised, these idiots can concoct anything to support their hallucinations.

So, she was dying, and she had the effrontery to call someone brain dead ?

Eziachi:
Some of you should stop mourning. What stops you having your own over age voters? Those you are tagging underage may already been fathers and mothers of a child or even vfamily dependent in their own rights.
In my opinion, the so called over age voting is the same with age in love. Age is only numbers, which a simple legislation can change. Mourning about over age voting is like those racist southerner American politicians mourning about their opponents winning with black vote when the law placated them from voting in those years.

Issue relating age of a voter is not rigging, what is rigging is announcing figures cooked up in a hotel, that doesn't represent human activity.
If someone is able and political aware enough to register, collect PVC, go for accreditation and stand patiently under the scorching sun and knew how to vote, age to me is irrelevant.
So stop mourning and roll out your own under age voters, that is, if they know actually aware of an election or are they more interested in the goings on the American idol voting.
Stop bleating like a loser.

thank you sir, someone sits down calmy in one corner, and within 10mins, he has thumb printed 500 ballot papers singlehandedly. I make bold to say, should the true votes be counted, GEJ will lose with a wider margin

Excellentmind:
As an apc supporter, underage who voted in the last election is over rated, therefore not a violation to the electoral act.

I hope your words will not hunt you in a few years to come if not days.

it is a violation of the electoral act, and it must be corrected, but I have seen many PDP supporters here made so much fuss about it as if it is a given that every underage voter voted for APC, that is quite illogical, the number of votes Jonathan had in kano was more than what he had in ekiti state.

my use of overrated is in place. I can bet it with you it was just about the least of the several irregularities in the last election.

xandy84:
He lost in 2011 but i disagree his popularity is overrated. He won all elected office single handedly in a state is not overrated. I personally does not like his person but Ekiti people loves him and as a yoruba man that I am" gba fun oga ooo" meaning " accept your boss authority "..

Well, my idea of him is that the said love is overrated, his coming back to govt house came on the heels of civil servants enmasse disagreeing and at logger heads with the former governor fayemi, it is not like he won with 70- 80-90% of votes in the states.

Fayose also lost in 2011 under Labour party, his perceived popularity is overrated.

FreeGlobe:
Lol... We hope his successor will never allow underage voters only in the north again

Underage voting is overated, it had absolutely no effect on the 2015 results.

All across Nigeria, there were 120,000 polling units, i doubt, if there was any polling unit one can find 10 underage voters.

10 underage voters in 120,000 polling units = 1,2 millon underage voters . Who did the underage voters voted for ? APC or PDP ? Did they vote right or recorded void votes since they are underaged voters ?

Should we assume APC courtesy of JEGA stationed 10 underaged voters in all polling units in Nigeria to vote APC, will the 1.2 million votes had changed the result of the election, bearing in mind, the margin of defeat of incumbent was over 2.5 million votes.

Electronic voting is the new way, Voting must start and be concluded in less than 6 hours and results before the end of the day.

the longer the voting and collation process, the more the chances of manipulation. India with a population of over 1 billion now conducts its election and declares results in a day, Nigeria is less than 200 million, it can easily achieve such.

Jega has done well, and his scent of sincerity can always be perceived, but the same can not be said of some of his lieutenants, he will be remembered for good.

If that majority consensus will allow the bill to be passed , so be it, there are too many positives in the bill to allow just that clause to delay the passing of the bill, at the right time, an amendment can be made if well argued.
