Yes Ekiti people know better. Buh did you listen to him on the program yesterday? I'm not sure you did cos if you did you would know better than you do too. He said the past Governor of the state Fayemi left the state in so much debt that his hands are tied now and there's nothin he can do. He said a debts owed by the state will not be settled until 2036 and another part will be settled completely by 2020. And he said if any other person takes over as the governor of the state after him, the person will still have the same problem he has now as there's nothin anyone can do an the state has been practically mortgaged due to debts and can only be completely free by 2036. And he said he has documents showin evidences of the borrowed loans and also the allocation that comes in and all. He said if Fayemi wants to prove he is lying, he should come to the radio too and say his own side and that he is really ready to defend all he has said. So now tell me how it's his fault? Fayose means we'll for the Ekiti people and Nigerians generally believe it or not. U claim it's cos I'm not from Ekiti that's why I don't knw better, Meanin the people in Ekiti don't like him right Well ifu must know, as much as some people don't like him in the state is also as some do like him in that same state so get your facts right.

You are 100% right. Regardless of what haters think about him,he is a good man. One reason why I like blunt people is,they tell you the truth whether you like it or not. Fayose is damn too blunt hence he has a large number of enemies.

Something Strange Is Happening in the Southwest

By Azuka Onwuka

The killing of the early morning street evangelist, Mrs Eunice Olawale Elisha, in Kubwa, Abuja two weekends ago was the final point that made me conclude that something strange and inexplicable has happened to the Yoruba in the past one year.

Two Saturdays ago, The Punch broke the news that Mrs Elisha, wife of Pastor Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, left her home around 5.30 a.m. with a megaphone to preach in the neighbourhood as she did every morning. But she never returned. At first the report was that she was butchered, her head cut off and placed on top of her Bible. But later the story from the police was that she was killed but was not decapitated.

It was a shock to the nation, especially coming a month after a woman in Kano State and a man in Niger State were killed for religious reasons.

Before Elisha’s killing, similar things had happened that surprised me. First was the 22nd anniversary of the June 12 election last year. I was in the Southeast and Port Harcourt that period. So I could not certainly gauge the way June 12 anniversary was marked in the Southwest. But I read the papers, watched the TV and monitored the online media. It was clear to me that there was a lull in the remembrance. But coming about two weeks after the inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari, I felt maybe the Southwest was still engulfed in the euphoria of being instrumental to the emergence of the new government.

But when June 12 came this year and went by without any fanfare in the Southwest, I was puzzled. Since 1999 when democracy returned in Nigeria, there had been an argument, championed by the Southwest, that June 12 rather than May 29 should be observed as Democracy Day, because it was the day in 1993 when “true democracy” was instituted in Nigeria. All Southwest states declared June 12 a public holiday and held elaborate parades and rallies, and made memorable speeches about June 12, democracy and the sacrifice of Chief MKO Abiola. That was not all.

In March there was an ethnic clash between the Yoruba and Northerners at the Mile 12 market in Lagos. It got the same treatment of silence.

In May there was a report that some herdsmen invaded a village in Ekiti State and killed two people. It was also all silence in the Southwest. The Southwest, however, found its voice when a day later the governor of Ekiti, Mr Ayo Fayose, in his exuberant and dramatic fashion, addressed the hunters in the state and urged them to shoot anybody who tried to attack the state again. Many Southwest people descended on Fayose: the same people who kept quiet when a Southwest state was invaded and some fellow Yoruba people killed!

The same scenario has played out on the lopsided appointments made by Buhari. In private discussions, you could hear the anger of Southwest people over the skewed appointments, but there seems to be an unwritten code not to raise it in public discussions.

But then came May 29, 2015 and Buhari and Osinbajo were sworn in as President and Vice President, with Fashola and Fayemi as minsters, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila as Majority Leader at the House of Representatives and Aregbesola and others as governors. The issue of restructuring has been met with silence from the Southwest leaders and followers, especially in the ruling All Progressives Congress. Only the voices of members of the Afenifere like Mr Yinka Odumakin, Senator Femi Okurounmu, Chief Ayo Adebanjo are still heard consistently asking for restructuring of the federation or implementation of the decisions of the 2014 national conference.

What is difficult to understand is what led to this new belief in the Southwest that complaining about the killing of a fellow Southwest person is tantamount to opposing the government led by Buhari and Osinbajo. Definitely, there is no connection between the two. It is said that it is only a very close person that can tell you that you have mouth odour. It does not mean hate or opposition.

Nigeria has been ruled from independence by people with hearing problem. You need to shout for them to hear. When about 500 were killed in Agatu, Benue State in February, the government said nothing. But when Ukpabi-Nimbo in Enugu was invaded April, there was an uproar. And for the first time, the presidency commented on the menace of the Fulani herdsmen.

Similarly in late May, four people were killed in Niger State for alleged blasphemy against Islam. Not much was said about it. A few days later an Igbo woman was killed in Kano over the same blasphemy against Islam. Hell was raised. The presidency, Kano State government and the police reacted, announcing that the perpetrators had been arrested.

In addition, many girls had been reported to be abducted and forcefully converted to Islam. It was when Ese Oruru’s case was raised to a high pitch in March that she was released to her parents. Other girls in the same condition were also released.

Some Southwest people may get indignant and call for my hide. But I have bought myself a body armour and helmet from Hephaestus, stronger than the one he made for Achilles for the Trojan War. If I could write that the Yoruba are the No 1 in the world in religious tolerance and write other similar positive analyses about the southwest and they sounded good in the ear of every Southwest person, it should also not be out of place for me to raise questions when something strange is happening in the Southwest.

The Yoruba are not known to keep quiet in the face of injustice or aberration. I don’t know what has happened in the Southwest. If anybody knows, please let him enlighten me.

I am from the southwest,Ekiti to be precise. I think you are spot on! The problem with the Yoruba people is their hypocrisy,it is second to none. I hope the Yoruba youth would free themselves from this mental slavery and chart a new course for themselves politically. Abo oro la n so fun omoluabi.....

faaz24:
What do you expect from a people governed by a deranged being....see the governor

M friend,stop misinforming the public. This is not Fayose,his wrist watch is always on his right wrist. You can check his other pictures to confirm. Your hatred for him is blind folding you.

But if the team eventually win the gold,it will be his business...Irresponsibility on the part of the minister. At least,if he cannot encourage them,he should just shut up! Siasia has done his bit in preparing them for the olympics. What has the minister done to help?

SeverusSnape:
Thank you very much for this comment.
Fayose is hated by Buhari because he's always exposing their lies and hypocrisy, He is the governor who after a Fulani raid, empowered hunters and vigilante groups to defend communities against these bloodthirsty herdsmen; The president is not happy about that. Forget all these trash they write about Fayose in the news.

Thank you so much,may God bless you. I just pray Ekiti people will not be deceived by these agents of darkness trying to bring Fayose down. He is the only governor that can repel them in the southwest,others are weak.

We are well informed in Ekiti, no amount of propaganda or lies can distract us. We no d amount coming in and how it was spent. If fayose mess up, we wil send him packing. Fayose pay salary 23rd of every month in his ist reign, God & him was d reason all 8 of my family were able to attend & graduate 4rm school couple wit developmental project he executed then like (ist dualisation of road in ekiti, building of governor house, fountain hotel, adetiloye hall, texile, reviving ire block, purchase of tractor distributed to orin, ayede, ikole farm settlement welfare package 4 all workers including payment of there leaves bonus,road contructing e.g ado-are- afao-ire road, ido-igbole-osì-igede road,esure-iropora road to mention but few). If ekiti is bouyant financially, fayose i know wil pay worker's salary. Things are hard in ekiti presently but we are not ignorant of d causes because he carried us along. We cannot abandon him in this time of trouble, we are not like others in southwest, we are principle,discipline, stubborn & cherish ourself,we wil never sell fayose because of an hausa man [never]. This are d reason y sensible ekiti kete son & daughter wil stand by him. Has any ekiti politician condem him aside falana that cannot win a local government if contested 4 any position in ekiti? They wil not, because it wil haunt their political career , let d drama continue, we wil show dis nation d stuf we are made of @ due time . Alale ekiti agbe a

The man Kneeling down in the picture below is Bunmi Falana, a.k.a Bumshaka. Egbon, Bumshaka is one of the Ayo Fayose's boys together with Egbon,Goke Olatunji [G.O.K] Fayose's P.A in the past. Goke and Bunmi were together with Ayo Fayose during the 2003 Governorship struggle against Otunba Niyi Adebayo the then incumbent Governor.

When Fayose emerged as the Executive Governor of the State, he appointed Goke as Personal Assistant, while Bunmi [Bumshaka] was said to inform Fayose that he preferred a career job, hence he was fixed with Zenith Bank via the capacity of Ayo Fayose, and for his banking purposes.

He was brought in to handle all his banking transactions till 2006 when Mr. Fayose was chased out of Ekiti State Government House following his impeachment. After this regrettable rein of Mr. Fayose in 2006, Bunmi Falana [Bumshaka] was transferred by Zenith Bank to Ifo branch of zenith bank in Ogun State until 2014 when he was expectedly transferred back to Ekiti at the commencement of the June 21, 2014 Governorship Election Campaigns in the State as requested by Gov. Fayose.

This transfer request and the promotion of Bunmi as the Branch Manager are part of the conditions Gov. Fayose gave Zenith Bank before he could have confidence in any transaction with the Bank. About the ongoing drama titled, Ayo Fayose's Election fund by Zenith Bank; Fayose strongly felt disappointed in his boy [Bumshaka] in which the said boy realize and thereby resolved to beg his boss who by his chances rise to his present status in the Banking job.

To the notice of the General Public, Bunmi Falana a.k.a Bumshaka begs Gov. Fayose within his individual capacity, and NOT on behalf of the Zenith Bank. The way Bunmi Falana dramatised, by kneeling down to beg Gov. Fayose in the presence of the Zenith Bank Executives was strange, but left with no choice than to be short of words.

You are spot on. This is the true story,no more no less! So for those saying he is not a staff of Zenith bank,this poster has said it all.

ademega:
I am suspecting you, u are lare OLAYINKA. the way u dey try convince people that is one of the banks officials is seriously serious suspicious.
give us his name and the exact place he stays and his position in the bank if u want us to believe u. anybody can write the trach. you have been writing.

Alright,the guy kneeling down is the branch manager for Ado,his nick name is bumchaga,he stays at nova road,basiri,Ado Ekiti. My number is 09037455288 for details because I don't want to reveal much on a public forum like this ,that would be intruding too much on his privacy. If you are interested in him this much,call me for details.

Opeyemi4real:
I was so surprised when I got to my town in ekiti last month and saw road dualisation project going on and the contractor was working as if his future depends on the project! What I can't imagine in the next 10years is happening right now in my town courtesy of the state Government. If you like call him gorrila, Fayose is trying! If a handsome man like fayose is a dog then Buhari is a dinosaur! Remember he was coming from a project site and decided to make jest of buhari in the market again. He knows what makes buharists rant and he's doing justice to it accordingly!

May God bless you. I am also from Ekiti,I laugh each time people say a lot of thrash about this man. It is obvious they have been brainwashed by Fayose's detractors. Within the available resources,His is doing his best in terms of service delivery. Instead of venting their frustration on their parents and the inept president,they come out here and start talking as if they have been hitting the bottle for eight straight days. To those saying he should pay his workers, I believe the president said something about 28 states owing their workers.

Sutherland:
HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE NECK TIE THOSE BANK OFFICIALS ARE PUTTING ON WITH THE ONE THE GUY KNEELING DOWN IS PUTTING ON, THIS IS JUST A ROLE PLAY. ONE OF FAYOSE'S DSS AGENT HAS ACTED AS A BANK STAFF. IF NOT WHY DIDN'T ANY OF THE GUYS IN RED TIE KNEEL DOWN OR THE BROUGHT A JUNIOR STAFF FOR THE KNEELING PART OF THE BEGGING.

The funny thing is,I would have been tempted to believe you if I didn't know the guy kneeling. I know the guy kneeling down,he is a top official of the bank

Trapnews:
You are a liar from the pit of hell , where are the police when you need them ?

you don't know me from Adam,you are calling me a liar. Ordinarily,I wouldn't have responded to you because I know your type. Anyway,for your information,he was my senior in school. His nick name is bumchaga,he is a top official of the bank in Ado. You can do better by confirming from people who stay in Ado instead of insulting people. If your hatred for Fayose has blinded you to the point of being unreasonable then that is your own problem.

Olalekan76:
Fayose is taking Nigerians for a fool. The pictures are stage managed, look closely at picture of the guy kneeling down, the guy standing up with his hand cross is the same guy who is now sitting down in the second image. Both of them are his securities datails jare. Shame on fayose.

stop saying what you don't know. Security details?! They are actually Zenith bank officials.

Trapnews:
That man is not representing Zenith bank. Can't you distinguish the colour of the tie. I won't tell you what actually happened sha

He is from Zenith bank. Why not take a trip to Ado to confirm. If you still don't believe,I can show you the way to his residence or you can come to Zenith bank Ado to confirm.

hydrazone:
Obviously this was stage managed. Note the difference in the pictures. Red tie and blue tie. The kneeling guy deliberately posing for the camera. There was a video of the "visit" on another thread. Non of the bank official wore a blue tie. Fayose ride on... Your cup go soon full

The guy in blue tie is an official of Zenith bank. He is a top official of the bank in Ado.I know him very well,I know where he lives and I also know his parents. The funny thing is,I never knew he could be this humble.

Topleague:
how are we sure this people are from Zenith bank? Which bank official will be kneeling down begging, this is one of fayose abracababra, the more you look the less you see.

They are from Zenith bank.The guy in blue tie is somebody I know very well. The funny thing is, I never knew he could be this humble.

The guy in blue tie is an official of Zenith bank. He is somebody I know very well because I reside in Ado along his residence, nova road,basiri. You can confirm from anybody that lives in Ado.

Ayatullah:
@Lere Olayinka, Ekiti people should be jubilating if Femi Falana decided to join the governorship race come 2018. He is more than qualify and credible to lead the state and take it to higher heights than your master.

Falana to rule Ekiti?! God forbid! His hypocrisy knows no bound. We are still reeling from the effect of the debts his friend incurred. He can not even win his local government

Sincere4u:
Remember Constantinople and all the many churches that has become history in Turkey. These islamists need some resistance.

This is one of the reasons I want Donald Trump to win in the US. The world needs somebody who can deal with them not minding whose ox is gored

freeborn76:
Fayose CANNOT meet these conditions, quote me.

In all sincerity,which governor(s) can? Seriously, the governors are the reason this Country has not gone beyond this level

olokpa11:
Watched fayose on ait this evening, and he made it clear that he would travel anywhere he wants to without any human being stopping him!!! And for all those screaming that he can't pay salary, Fayose brought out ekiti's revenue on national tv, he showed us the breakdown and asked us to go and verify, Seeing that breakdown, I don't see how fayose would be able to pay salaries at all. So let's put hatred aside and use our common sense

May God bless you in multiple folds for your un-biased opinion

Recently,I had two ladies who admired me and told me they liked me for a relationship. I obliged for one, the other one is married so I told her no but we are still friends till date. It's no big deal

SweetGuy225:
By 2019, Nigerians will realise they've wasted four years of their national life because they voted a goat to be their president.

Image123:
So Fayose was not at the NEC meeting last week? He's among those who need that meeting the most. Ekiti is so unfortunate to have no leader as it is.

same way Nigeria is so unfortunate to have Buhari as her leader at this critical time.

Karanka:
These youths... Hmmm. When other people are hailing Fayose for having the boldness to stop Buhari and his cohorts from selling off Nigeria,the Ekiti Youths who should know better and be proud of Fayose are cowardly criticizing Fayose just to massage Buhari and northerners' ego. Smh...

it should be Ekiti Apc youths not Ekiti youths. I am from Ekiti and I think highly of Fayose. I wonder where the so-called youths were when Fayemi was busy wasting Ekiti allocation on frivolities,dancing azonto all around town. Were they dead when Apc stalwarts wrote the United states not to sell arms to the then Nigerian government...a ntori oja ja..oja Ni ta lo n ja lehin kunle oun
