Are you Aregbesola's driver? How did you know the number days he spends in Osun?

BTW, I think you are confusing "Ogbeni" with another thing. I think it means "Mister", which is rather humble by Nigerian standards where every IDIOOOOT calls himself chief. Hopefully Yoruba people can tell me if my assumption is wrong.

Beaf, quit embarrassing me, get your facts right.[/quote]You are correct. "Ogbeni" translates to Mr in the context of addressing others cordially . E.g Ogbeni Aregbesola is Mr. Aregbesola and Ogbeni Gomina is Mr. Governor. We all know that Beaf is an ignorant olodo who revels in deliberate spin and misrepresentation . He is not the sharpest tool in the box so pardon him for not knowing what 'Ogbeni' means . He probably thinks Ogbeni means dictator, supreme ruler or another politically unsavory bracelet he can clamp around Aregbesola's wrist by force.

From Aregbesolas stellar performance on Lagos Roads a Commisioner for works I have no doubts.

My brother don't mind these morons . They  think pre-election "spin and spell" will continue to work. Aregbesola is the one with the history of meritorious service delivery while GEJ is the mediocrity described by the Americans as "underwhelming" . It is not the other way round and will never be so regardless of silly "spin and spell". I can only conclude that some folks are getting carried away with how they got away with cheap "spin and spell" to convince gullible and politically gauche Nigerians that mediocre and "underwhelming" GEJ is better than others who were in the race.

The olodos , without a mind of their own, can continue to swallow the silly spin that defies logic and ignores the facts we have to hand which should ordinarily enables us all to make informed decisions.

dankol:
I fear 4 him, he wld nt only b d most useles gov bt most disgraced gov out of ofice. Most pple are nw regretin it. Such is life sha,

comical to see pre-election level of spin still working on those without their own minds or the zeal to investigate issues for themselves . This is how they packaged GEJ , an incompetent administrator with a very poor history in public office, as "a performer" yet some of you gobbled it up. Now they inversely want to stand logic on its head by telling us a man with a distinguished history as a commisioner , who has not actually placed a foot wrong despite what mischief makers may say ,  is the worst governor in Nigeria .

The big joke is that some people cannot even appreciate how silly they sound . If Aregbesola is shaping up to be the worst Governor in Nigeria to be "disgraced out of office" then we cannot be talking about the same Nigeria where [b]majority of Governors [/b]are grossly indolent, hideously corrupt and insensitively blatant thieves doing nada for their States.

This bias against China has no basis in merit . Who will go to China to bring back container load of inferior goods , for use in their own Nation, if not Africans themselves? Who colludes with unscrupulous Chinese individuals to provide sub-standard construction work in Africa if not Africans themselves? It is the heights of ignorance for anyone to think the Chinese can routinely provide poor standards of construction in Africa if we do not let them .

@gbawe
"I would think and I have no doubt" - they all mean the same thing - I don't have a clue.

Why do you people spend so much time with your lips glued to the assholes of these ACN clowns? Aregbesola is a joke, [/b]sadly he is representative of the ACN.
When you are all grown up and you come visit us here in Nigeria you may have a less romantic view of these thugs.

No . You are the joke . A big one at that !! You claim to be "on the ground" , non-stop, yet you are a highly ignorant mischief maker along with your fellow olodo co-travellers. Aregbesola has deployed a Chinese Company and he has identified Road that will be worked on immediately with more infrastructural work to follow (see below). How many others have done same ? Is it not easier , in this information age , for you to find out about the Company Aregbesola is partnering with than for you to talk ignorant crap about others not having a clue when it is you who knows zilch? If this firm turns out to be Osun's own [b]efficient Julius Berger , then so be it !!!

Look around you in Africa today to see what the Chinese are doing !! Suwegbe jati-jati !!!! Go to Accra and you will find that almost all important link roads are being handled by Chinese contractors. These guys are so tanned , from working with Ghanaians hands on, you would think they are black !!! I remember asking a Ghanaian MP friend why these road contracts could not go to Ghanaian firms . He explained to me that this has been done in the past but local firms tend to cut corners leading to inferior roads that are pothole riddled in 3 months!!!! Furthermore , he said the Ghanaian Engineers will come to the site , fully suited , in their air-conditioned jeep, look around without even stepping out of their cars and disappear for 3 weeks delegating everything to others !!!

The Chinese , with their hands on approach, especially if supervised with key stage inspection as Aregbesola hints, tend to be good value. Those who know what really obtains on the ground will also know that Chinese firms , for many reasons, deserve the patronage they are enjoying in Africa currently.  As a mischief maker and shameless apologist of indolence (GEJ and PDP) I would not expect you to be up to speed with anything especially developmental trends that are now making some African Cities a pleasure to reside in. Everything about the ACN is innovative , and in line with what is seen elsewhere in Africa, but shameless folks like you will never admit it. You are only wasting your time . The PDP is only capable of gross misrule. You should focus on that.

The governor added: “What I made clear to your people during our trip to China was that, as far as engagement and relationship are concern, there is more than enough for us to do together particularly in the area of road development, urban renewal and landscape of our environment and I emphasized that if China could designed their environment the way we have seen it, if they are going to do any work for us, our quality and standard will not be less.

Big Meat:
Noting aganist the Chinese Construction company, my question is how many Nigerians will this company employ?

The skilled , semi-skilled and non-skilled jobs will go mainly to Nigerians . The Chinese will usually only be involved in supervisory , training, managerial and project management role.

Chinese company ke? Hmm will the road last? Dis one dat he is building all of 'em around his home town (ilesa/ijesha) I reserve my comments.

China is the home of the poorest and highest quality goods available in the entire world. Companies , demanding the highest standard of quality , source form China. It is up to a buyer to define his relationship with China. If we Africans deliberately , because we only ever think of cost , court the worst from China , in the form of goods and services, then we should not use our own low standards to make blanket statements against China. To just tout China as associated with inferior goods and services is intellectually lazy.

@OAMJ and Jarus.

Can you guys , ASAP, look into why my original user name , Gbawe, was banned on this thread by your so-called anti spam bot :

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-735117.0.html

This is the second time this has happened. I always provide links to any article supplied so what on earth is going on? How is your anti spam set to be so erroneous ? Furthermore, why does it take you guys so long to un-ban those unfairly snared by this silly spam bot? I have been banned for a few days now and would ordinarily leave issues as they are because I don't believe in the multiple account crap but I hate autocratic behavior .

I think it is ridiculous, highly inefficient and very unfair that there is no way for those banned unfairly to contact you mods or the admin , minus using a second alias, to alert you of a ban against their user name when they did nothing wrong. To compound issues, you guys seem happy for folks to remain banned for days when the mistake is entirely yours !!!! If your spam bot bans folks unfairly , the least you guys can do is ensures they are unbanned ASAP . You should , if possible, proactively seek to redefine the parameters your spam bot is configured with. You should add an option to enable users to contact mods or admin . The best discussion website have those features and one has to wonder why Nairaland is not interested in aspiring to that status.
