A tiny strip of land with a lot of money to spend should be most managed when the inhabitants (politicians and electorates) are world apart

. stop writing nonsense, tell me any state that has waste mgt issues like Lagos? or any state with more need for security than Lagos state , or any state that has traffic management issues like Lagos state, or any state that has active network of roads state and local govt roads subjected to wear and tear like Lagos, or any state as urbanised as Lagos state.?. I can easily tell you 5 states with 70-100% annual budget of Lagos state, yet is not surmounted with one third of the issues and challenged listed above.

WisdomFlakes:
How come I no see Sani Danja for inside the picture? I guess perhaps coz he was supporting GEJ's re-election.

look well enough, you will see him

EdCure:
Ali Modu Sherif defeated the PDP governor of Borno in 2003.

. not true, he won under anpp. the 99_03 governor under anpp lost party ticket to contest in 2003 and decamped to AD, but lost in the general election

yobe and borno only

That's easy - Zamfara State.

In 1999 and 2003, it was an APP state.
In 2007, it was an ANPP state.
In 2011, it was still an ANPP state.
In 2013, it became an APC state.

Going by the popular Nairaland narrative, Zamfara is a 'progressive' state.

Jan 2009 - may 29, 2011. the governor decamped to PDP. , but lost his reelection to Anpp

Poverty.

APGA na mumu na, Person wey don sell him birthright, wey con dey claim firstborn.......mtscheeew

sw is the region with the largest contributor to the GDP, and also the second largest contributor to the nations revenue. Lagos revenue is about to increase

I didn't even bother to read the topic self, I'm only booking this space in anticipation of a good samaritan who would teach me how to download videos on YOUTUBE.


plz o, somebody should help a Sister on how to download YouTube videos. I'm only able to watch but I can't download. I've tried everything I know, but alas, it's not working.


PS: I use firefox browser for android.

just add ss in front of the youtube link. e.g

www.youtube,com becomes www.ssyoutube.com, and it takes you to the download section

When I'd!ots like u came online to abused a sitting president....didn't it occour to u that this same thing will happen to ur elected president?..... Wake up! This is democracy!.....Dunce!

That you are a bastard does not mean you keep hurting that you have been fatherless all your life, take a grip and get hold of your life. I detest moronss quoting me, dont in your miserable life bother to quote me, i dont roll with embittered idiiots, if you wish evil on the incoming government, you will only witness it being sworn it, you will not be a part of it .

Isn't this what he did against GEJ? Now that he has won! Has anyone heard anything about money looting and money mishandling from GEJ's administration? NO! All propagandas has dropped!
.
.
So he should also enjoy it.....he enjoyed it when GEJ was trembling! Now it's time for karma!

You fools should stop wishing the incoming government failure, he won less than 3 weeks ago, and you are praying so hard for his goverment to fail, as if it is not Nigeria he will govern

I have noticed in the last few weeks that some idioots have now decided to be releasing false and fictional news about the personae "Buhari"

Atouke:
It will be interesting times in Nigeria. To see how the party at the centre will handle a unified SS and SE opposition. Looking forward to may 29th. Takes out his HD glasses and wipes it clear of any dirt!

APC still controls 2 out of the 11 ss/se states after May 29, there is a greater chance, it will grow stronger than weaker in the two regions.

I thought Imo state is also an oil producing state.

Abeg, underage voter is overrated joor. of the 120,000 polling units in Nigeria, there are like 5,000 polling units in the whole of Kano.

For projections that are not conservative, let us assume there are 20 underage voters in each polling unit. 20 * 5,000 = 100,000 voters.

If there are roughly 20 underage votes in each polling unit, it will be a very unsavory sight, as international observers will easily spot it.

In Kano, it was 1.9 million votes to GEJ 200,000+.


We dont know, who the underage voter voted for, we dont know if the underage voter voted properly as there are increased chances (s)he wont vote properly leading to void votes. The kind of votes stealing that would be achieved across the whole of the LGAs in Kano will be achived in one LGA in Rivers state.

Pdizzle:
Chai this man na disgrace. The problem with my state is that the elites don't get involved in politics, they don't vote either.

the elite had better speak up as loudly as possible, the people of ekiti state will all be painted with the same brush.

I have it on good authority that the newest set of assembly members handpicked by fayose for the next dispensation are worse than these ones paraded, he intentionally picked dredges of the society and idiots so as to ensure he could manipulate them fully.

God will continue to bless you for me. Most of the people ranting here know nothing about first language and second language.

Whatever happened in that video is the effect of mother tongue on English as the second language.

CityNG:
i'm not going to run around reading up on you ploys.

Again, what specific industry did he bring to Ibadan during his tenure?

Where I am based is of no consequence, we are talking about Ibadan. Stop trying to look for a crutch to use in your argument.

you will do well not to quote me again, I can't operate in your distorted wavelength.

CityNG:
Nope, I do very well being the way I am. Your fancy words means jack shyte to me. In fact if I was to call you an odd toed orang utang, as an example, it will be the same thing.

Yours are the worst of the society, the dregs of civilization. Ready to sit down in squalor and look up from within your pathetic existence without looking for a way out. Instead you give excuses upon excuses why you are down in the abyss of mankind.

You are the worst kind of human beings as you've lost all and total hope.

. there is no point discussing with you, I can see frustration written all over this post , you have failed to address ur gaffe when I called you out in your ignorance, but prefer to curse everything in sight like a specie of failed civilisation. my sympathies are with you.

CityNG:
An astute posting.

When I said best amongst the worst, the natives went up in arms

You will do well to avoid going the condescending way, it is repugnant.


It is very easy to sit down in a country with structures and systems developed over the years and begin to rubbish and castigate administrators in a place like Oyo state, and then think everyone in there are idiiots.

CityNG:
1) It matters not where I'm located. You're simply grasping for straws and looking for another tangent to take your baseless argument.

2) Prove it and let's debate it. Iya Sikiras stall at new Dugbe doesn't count.

3) You're not debating of a free and clear mind that is not tainted by your political affiliation. That much is easy to spot. You leader cannot do wrong. I get it, I really do.

4) Just because you and I don't and most likely will never see eye to eye doesn't mean I have less knowledge that you. That pomposity on your part and screams of lack of etiquette.

I have added an industry he commissioned above.
Where you are based could matter a bit , i have listed several industries that came to Ibadan, i am aware he was in partnership with the BOI (Bank of Industry) through a joint fund, i think 500million from each side to assist Medium scale enterprises to expand their bussinesses, and those are in hundreds.......

Sometimes we assume we know, until we probe further to discover we know less

CityNG:
1) Actually they were there long before.

2) Young snort nosed punk, where have I lied? Dindinrin.

3) No industry came into Ibadan during his tenure. Industry is what employ folks. Did NTC come to Ibadan during his time? Did Odutola tires come?

4) I give him 0/10.

5) My uneducated politically paid waif, just because Saddam didn't kill as many people as Hitler doesn't make him a better human being.

6) Your estimation is correct for your thought process. I allow you to have yours, allow me to have mine.

Are you based in Ibadan ? No industry came to ibadan during his tenure is entirely wrong, you are not speaking on fact, but supposed knowledge.

Abiola Ajimobi, governor of Oyo state, has inaugurated the Rom Oil Mills Limited, a subsidiary company of Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc. The oil refinery and margarine company, which is the biggest in Sub-Saharan Africa, is located in Ibadan, the capital of the state. The governor pledged that his administration would do all within its powers to ensure that the state is the preferred destination of investors in Nigeria. Rom Oil is expected to refine crude palm kernel oil, crude palm oil and crude soybean oil into refined oil and distilled fatty acids. Speaking at the ceremony, Ajimobi said the effect of the employment generation that the company would give the people of the state was his own idea of stomach infrastructure. “This indeed is our idea of the so-called stomach infrastructure. We thank the management of the company for their implicit trust and confidence in our state. You have indeed vindicated our stance,” he said. “The cumulative effects of his administration’s developmental drive and consequent influx of investors into our state would result in employment generation and empowerment of the people. “It would positively impact millions of our people, as it is the best and most dignifying stomach infrastructure ever.”[b] Ajimobi described the establishment of the firm, a-400-metric-tonnes-per-day universal refinery, as another testimony to his administration’s leadership and “investors-baiting” policies. He described the development as the dividends of the peaceful atmosphere which his administration brought back to the state at its inception. “If you add the largest Shoprite outlet in West Africa that has been recently sited in our state, you will understand how a secure and peaceful atmosphere, as well as an environmentally-conducive state, is essential for employment-generation and indeed the economic development of the people,” he said. “Add all these to the rebirth of night life in the capital city, as manifest in the many hospitality industries that have sprung up in the nooks and crannies of Oyo state, you will realise why development experts say that peace and security are the foundation of any society.” Speaking at the occasion, Akinwumi Adesina, minister of agriculture, commended the Ajimobi administration, saying the governor had done a lot to help farmers in the state.[/b] Adesina said that the federal government had distributed 351,000 high-quality palm seedlings to farmers in the state, thanking the governor for ensuring that the seedlings got to the end users.

Additionally, Oriental Foods will be opening next month , Karma also in the next 3 months or thereabout, all these are at the outskirts of Ibadan In Oluyole LGA, several quarry minimg industries have opened along this axis, there are others springing along the Podo axis, like Foam making industries, Agro procesing industries ,e.t.c I have a relatively holistic picture of his administration, and i can tell you he is a sharp departure from the rest contending against him.

Ajimobi is an average performer, and the op is spot on about the type of people who voted him in, luckily for Ajimobi, Oyo state also has lots of middle class relatively than a place like ekiti state, the assessment of good governance by these set of people are more holistic and long term effect in nature, while the low income earners want a short term or instant gratification and cant really blend with the fast need for a road expansion project, when such money can be channeled to stomach infrastructure projects, the middle class identifies with such projects and appreciates it. If Ekiti state had a percentage rate of middle class voters Oyo state had, Fayemi would still have been governor.

The choice of picking from the top 5 bunch was easy, IMO, i ranked like this 1.seyi makinde 2. Ajimobi 3. Ladoja 4. Folarin 5. Akala.

Seyi makinde was an impractical candidate, the odds are stacked against him , so, it was easy to struck him out, and stick with Ajimobi .

jethro2:
The OP is right.
80% of the people are not happy with Ajimobi.
I live in Oyo State.
Ajimobi is a paparazzi government.
But Akala, Ladoja, Teslim and Makinde selfish interest cost the state another 4year of hardship.
They split the parties into groups
The masses are feeling the brunts of Ajimobi
Salaries are owned.
Pension are not paid
Workers are on temporary appointment
He employed them some month prior to election.
I feel the pain of my people
Poverty is at the highest level.
Ajimobi is for the rich
I am not an indigene and i dont work for the government.
But Oyo people are suffering.
Please and please dont quote me for ezpressing myself
I wouldnt have written but most people felt the OP is lying
Primary school children stay under the tree as classroom
Its really sad
Most Oyo people are not too literate so could not be online
Oyo State is suffering
At OP I salute your courage for speaking out
I pray God will send Oyo people a messiah
Your leaders are the most self centred people in Nigeria.
Oyo people are hardworking
Ajimobi did not perform.
He rode on Buharis victory
The masses are suffering

But the other contestants showed no signs they would be better, they were all familiar terrain excluding Makinde. If there are complaints of these guy about the educational sector, there is a very greater likelihood he inherited the rot from his immediate predecessor Akala, the same man contesting again

When i hear complaints about salaries and pensions unpaid, i ask if his other old horse trying to come back will do any better under the current situation, Is it the same Akala who could not pay 11,500 minimum wage to civil servants? For Goodness sake this man monthly wage bill has increased from 3billion naira monthly he inherited from Akala to 5 billion naira monthly, a whopping 2 billion naira, and the FG allocation from Abuja has dropped from roughly 4 billion naira monthly to 3 billion naira monthly, it is no brainer he will have problems paying salaries. Most of our Governors are lazy to think outside the box in increasing the IGR of the state, or do not have the political will power to do such. Akala or Ladoja would have fumbled too, trust me, it might have been worse sef.

It is Possible that majority are not happy, like i said after the primaries of the parties, Ajimobi's enemies were scatttered in 4 cardinal points, and he was going to win with simple majority. I predicted 38-40% of votes for him, and i don't think i was that much off the mark.

If the election had occured before the presidential election, Ladoja would have given him a closer fight, and who knows maybe win sef, but in this one , the margin was over 75,000. That population will fill up Abuja National stadium sitting stands, and there would be 30,000 others still left ouside.

chi4ik4:
guy inec never announce jos north & ease till tomorrow by 9am

those two LGA are APC strongholds from what i gather, and it seems the APC candidate is from Jos North sef. The chances of cancelling a 20,000 deficit is high

It is really worse for PDP than i thought. PDP will lose at least two more states next year, Ondo and Kogi .

By the end of next year, it might only be governing just 9 states out of a total of 36 states.

SaiBuharii:
What is the Hell is happening in the east/south. When dud igbos become so desperate for power? Instead of the few ones that have sense to travel back to the east and make things better, they are in Lagos dragging Lagos with yoruba people. And it makes you wonder if the hve plans for their children children to settle down in an developed igbo land. AbI why will you vote for or rig for Ochendo, why will you votr against or rig against Owelle, your only hope of becoming a president, why will a normal human being vote Wike? See our Lagos sef, wanting to force PDP on us, inspite of their failures.


It is well!

That ochendo victory surprises me, judging by the general consensus of abians and ibos online, one will doubt if he will get 20% of votes in Abia, but he was declared winner in an election, for him to be rigged at all, he must have provided a relatively fair performance, no one will dare rig a candidate with less than 20% of total votes.

it would av been great disservice to all Lagos APC if PDP had won, they had laboured hard in this past years under the PDP led fg to get results for Lagos., now ambode must now perform better than fashola, I expect that money owed the state by fg will be remitted (50billion naira), that when paid will foot half of the bill for the 4th mainland bridge. Lagos now has a better chance to be awarded a special status as the former capital, which means increased allocation. Lagos state might also get funding support for its light railway project. the 14years Lagos state development plan (2012-2025) will not be discarded, unlike if PDP had come in

This defeat for PDP is becoming too crushing for my liking , i would have hoped Ribadu won under PDP.
