Is it big deal in Nigeria? Look at the cycles of politicians we have in power today. From Buhari, to Ekweremadu, Ngige, Okorocha, Tinubu and many others. Same figures when Nigeria was struggling and it's this same figures we have now that the struggling has become greater.


Democracy says it's their right but is it healthy for Nigeria that families are recycled into power?

You don't want them to be recycled there? You sef join. I hate it when people complain and abuse them. Yet they don't join politics. Yet come election day they don't vote. They don't even have a voters card yet they complain here and there.

I don't know their problem jàre....your father has been there doesn't mean you must also go there but no, they want it to he family stuff

Thank God monarchy has become ceremonial in Nigeria!

There is no big deal. He is free to contest as he is a Nigerian also. I was expecting him to want to go to the house of representatives or the Senate. His mates won't start from the state house of assembly. They will claim it is too small. I am impressed by him from starting there.

I wish him well

I hope it will overturned so that Dems voters will vote more against those fake christian who call themselves republicans.

Very soon, America will become like Nigeria where a woman will go to jail for having something as simple as an Abortion.

1stGenAmerican:
A Lovely sight it would be. Not only that but can you imagine how many voters would flip parties? People think they know what they want until they get it and realize it’s not at all what they wished for.

Exactly. I am happy this is happening. The GOP just shoot themselves in the foot. They should continue

AmazonTopaz:
This right wing court is trying to be illegitimate by all means. The chaos this decision will cause

Have you ever heard of a leaked SCOTUS opinion before.
Someone leaked it.
1stgenAmerican come o

Yes,someone leaked it. I am particularly happy this is happening. I hope it will make Dems to go out and vote in the midterms. It will be lovely to see.

Remember I once said here I hoped roe is overturned as that is the only thing that can make Dems to come out to vote out those people


We wait and see

LegendHero:
Is this not the new Olubadan brother? I think Makinde is trying to deny him the return ticket for senatorial so that could be the reason why he left PDP.

Let’s see how it goes for PDP in Oyo state next year. If this guys moves to APC, you’re gonna have three APC senators, let’s see how things play out.

This was the same guy that defeated Ajimobi in 2019.

Seyi has already handed over the ticket of Oyo south to Joseph Tegbe as he has already decamped to the PDP. The issue at hand right now is that Kola Balogun did not do well for the people of his constituency. Infact he is in the same WhatsApp group with Folarin.

He never expected he was going to win. The win was a protest vote against Ajimobi. So he just simply went to sleep after winning. The APC won't even give him the ticket at all cos PDP and APC sef knew he did not do too well for the people of his district. Although he sounded intelligent because I spoke with him once but it did not turn to people projects.

Compare him to Fatai Buhari in Oyo North. Fatai is an achiever. He is contesting for Govornship now though,however the PDP themselves knows Oyo North is a gonner courtesy of Oyo south that is why they are only focusing on Oyo central and Oyo south

I thought one party said they wanted little government control in their lives?

I hope this will make the midterms go the way of the Dems.I hope this will energize them

In Ogun,they are organizing a prayer for the government to increase their payment while in Oyo, Pensioners on their radio station at agbarigbo are telling themselves to go get their voters card and make sure they are voting for no other than seyi makinde.

As in,they are announcing it on air for everybody to hear. They are campaigning for him with their full chest even when elections haven't started. My Retiree Mum that did not vote last election already collected her PVC as she is seyi all the way.

Someone will now wondering why some of us support him despite not being paid to do so

GloriousGbola:
There is a twitter comment to the effect that people are stealing the solar panels and batteries

Also what is the deployment cost?

Let's say battery is 50k, controls are 20,solar panel 50k.
That is an additional 120k per floodlight.

These numbers add up. And that does not include maintenance. You have to clean the solar panel periodically. And your battery may be gone in 18 months

It isnt as cut and dried as these bad businesspeople are making out to be

You dey mind those olodos. Blue camel or whatever they call themselves should have also called out Lagos and Ogun and other states who use Generator presently to power theirs too but they choose to only shout on Oyo. It is all part of of political propaganda for next year. They want to get Oyo at all costs.

When people shout solar you start thinking it is so perfect yet we don't have industries that use it. Even telecommunications company do NOT use it. They use Diesel abi na corruption they do they do?

OYSG already has a plan to put over 60 percent of street lighting on the state Power plant powered by Gas before the end of the year. And currently what is being used by the contractor for this for the diesel do not come at any cost to the state government.

Before now,Ibadan and the whole of Oyo state is a dark as a jungle at night before the Light up came up. Yet they are still ranting. Na so them go rant till forever.

Useless people

Bitmapstudios does naptu now work for Oyo state government? Have you noticed his Oyo state post in recent times?

Glink2018:
do you live in lekki? if you live in lekki , you see a lot of rich people who bury their dead in their compound.

the former governor of Oyo state was buried in his compound. probably you will say he is poor and wretched .... Oponu !

The former Govornor family were given a waiver by the state government to bury him there. In GRA's for example, the dead is not buried there but he was given a waiver by the state government to bury him at his house.

Av u plied that ajia/odeyale to amuloko road.
If u did u will not mention that road. The road is eye sore with many bad portions. Imagine a road that is less than a yr. Seyi na scam

Olodo ni yin sir. A road who's road construction is still currently on going how do you expect it to be perfect? It has not even reached amuloko. The road will be completed this July or might even take time yet you are complaining. Have they commissioned the road? Capital NO so why the complaining?

Let the road be commissioned and see any defects there then you can complain

QED!

yemi1504:
Correct! We want the abinu enis to reply.

Olofo ni won.. they will not reply. Awon olosshi eda.

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has said his arrest in the United States over credit card fraud and forgery in 1986 is not sufficient grounds for his disqualification by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Abiodun disclosed this while responding to a petition submitted by an APC member, Ayodele Oludiran on behalf of Oluwatobi Sofela of Ogun Bibire Unity Forum to the National Chairman of the party, Abdulahi Adamu

Sofela had warned that the party might lose the governorship seat in Ogun due to Abiodun’s criminal history and its concealment from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) despite swearing an oath.

He also cautioned that the discrepancies in the governor’s educational qualifications might also cause opposition parties to question his eligibility for re-election bid, swaying the electorate to their side.

“If action is not taken, the chances of our great party, the APC, retaining the governorship seat in Ogun State shall be in jeopardy as previously seen in Bayelsa and Zamfara states,” Sofela said.

According to People’s Gazette, responding, Abiodun said that his probable arrest was not a conviction and hence was not answerable to the laws that applied to criminals.

He added that even if he was convicted in 1986, the Nigerian constitution only disqualifies ex-felons from contesting political offices if their sentence was less than 10 years before the election date.

“An aspirant or candidate will only be disqualified by the court if the false information he gives relates to a constitutional requirement of eligibility. APC is not a court of law. Accordingly, it cannot disqualify our client,” the governor’s lawyer, Afe Babalola wrote in a letter to Adamu, citing section 29(6) of the Electoral Act 2022.

“In any event, assuming but not conceding that our client was even convicted in 1986, he would still not be affected or caught by Section 182 (1) (e) of the CFRN because the CFRN requires that the conviction which would disqualify a person from the position of the governor must have occurred ten years before the date of election to the office.”

SaharaReporters had in March published the criminal record of how Abiodun was jailed in 1986 for credit card fraud in Miami Dade Florida, USA.

The governor was said to have used a pseudo name (Shawn Michael Davids) with the aim of concealing his criminal identity.

The record revealed that Abiodun was jailed for committing criminal offences which bordered on credit card fraud, petty theft and check forgery.

He was arrested on November 7, 1986, for fighting and injuring a police officer in an attempt to resist arrest.

While being processed at the station, his fingerprint was run through the crime database and it was discovered that the Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun being processed for detention was the same as Shawn Michael Davids.

His criminal record and history were thus cemented and he was jailed.

According to some documents obtained by SaharaReporters, Abiodun's jail number was 8600B9436.

In 2015, while contesting for the Ogun East Senatorial seat against the late Buruji Kasamu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he applied for the redaction of his criminal records in Miami Dade, Florida.

This act of concealment meant he could lie on his Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) forms that he had no prior criminal records; a perjury offence that could have disqualified him from ever holding an appointive or elective office in Nigeria.

The redaction was granted in August 2015.

samirus:
You should not be stressing yourself on this people trying to battered the image of this present Gov , people voting knows the real truth about what is going on in Oyo state . His party was their first 8 years could not fix Akobo , use 4 years to do general gas bridge , old IFE road was abandoned by the past administration. With the little resources Seyi have at Hand .

Thank you jare. I even forgot to mention the above roads sef in my previous post. Awon oniyeye

kennylee:
Na PDP miscreant. I'm not here to support any political party .
What's the essence of you paying salary when the citizens cannot sleep or go out In peace. Seyi Makinde is a total failure when it comes to security. A bullion van was robbed two months ago at IDI-APE and the robbers escaped which Did not happen during Ajimobi's regime .

I have answered you above. Hope you won't go hiding and reply my long essay

Below is the bullion van robbery that happened under Ajimobi even close to the government house. With about almost three bank robberies happening in Oyo in his first term

Note. Nigeria was even safer then than now .

kennylee:
Oya ooo

65KM Moniya Iseyin road. Ajimobi did not even construct a single 65KM road in 8years neither did all the roads he constructed in 8years up to 65KM. Commissioned by the Benue state Govornor

2. The 10KM Saki Dual Township road. This is the major road leading into saki. The people of sakei were turned into dusts when passing as it was a complete eyesore. Also commissioned

3.The Gedu oroki sabo ashipa road. Another road in Oyo town that the people of Oyo are saying thank you. Commissioned also

4. Construction of the junction improvement at challenge. Before now challenge was an eyesore. Passing through challenge now which is the most organised part of Oyo state ever is a miracle. Commissioned too

Ongoing road projects to be commissioned this year. The remaining two and biggest bus terminals at Iwo road no dey there o

1. The Akobo Flyover. An abadoned and embezzeled project by the previous administration to be completed and commissioned this year.

2. The 12KM Apete to Akuffo road. First concrete road in Oyo state to be commissioned this year.

3. Saki Igbooro Igboho road. 45KM also to be ready for commissioning by July.

4. 21KM Airport to Ajia with a spur to amuloko to be commissioned too by July.

5. Dualisation of the Akala express from new garage to Apata. The road was done by Akala and left undone and untouched by Ajimobi. It was done to alleviate traffic at Apata. Now it is ongoing to be completed before the end of the year. A 12KM road.

6. 76KM Iseyin Ogbomsho road. This too will be finished this year. No administration in the history of this state has ever awarded a 76KM single road. To be commissioned too this year.

7. The Oyo Iseyin road. About 70percent completed to be commissioned too on or before July

8. Dualisation of the airport road. Road will be completed this year too and the road will be named after omololu oluloyo

9. Fixing of the Iwo road interchangeable road and other adjacent road in preparation for the completion of the Iwo road terminals.

And many more I cannot remember now. Abeg tell me if they are lies o..

Your time starts now!!!

olaniyilukman:
My brother, we are both fighting for good governance and I really appreciate you for highlighting these points out and all what you said are truly accurate but still the government must always provide alternative for people before a major infrastructure will be demolished, the only road that serves as an alternative to the people of Amuloko and Olorunsogo is through Babare road adjoint Olopometa, government should have fixed the road knowing fully well it is the only road that will serve the people once the bridge has been demolished, but the government has failed in that regard...

Okay I get you now. However government cannot do all roads at the same time. They will have to do the major first and if there is chance to do that leading to olopometa they can. But not now. There are thousands of roads currently bad in Oyo State that cannot be done at the same time.

See, you are getting almost two roads there. The one from Ajia linking amuloko and the dualisation from Olorusogo. Some areas no even see shuku. This is commendable and you be at least happy.

One government can't fix all. The Koko we are asking is that government should be responsible to their responsibilities and do tht which is right

kennylee:
I was in Ibadan last weekend The traffic was too much . From Adegbayi to iwo road , i spent more than two hours. The best Governor in Oyo State based on first term achievements is till late Ajimobi though Seyi Makinde is not an audio projects governor . Ojoo and challenge bus terminals were comissioned yesterday but he needs to work on the Security architecture of Oyo State especially Ibadan .

And you don't know that the traffic at Iwo road currently ongoing is due to two projects on going there? Isn't it? Except if it is compulsory you go to Iwo road,Iwo road nowadays is a NO NO due to construction and that is why there is mad traffic till it finishes.

Even Ajimobi knows seyi has beaten him hands down with project. If you want me to start mentioning I will

olaniyilukman:
Ogbere bridge linking Olorunsogo and Akanran, Goodwill Adekile bridge linking Orita aperin and Gate, Oranyan bridge linking Orita aperin and so on

Lmao. See how I am laughing at you.

I once lived at Olorusogo asolo way back 2001 to 2005. That area which is the Ona Ara local government is the worst local government in Ibadan. As at 2001,if you do not leacs the area by 6.30 you are a dead meat. You will be getting to Olorusogo express by 8.30 AM or more due to traffic. That areas is a total and complete mess up due to traffic and which was due to the singular road passing through the area. They have no other access road except that road..

Calls for dualisation of the road have been ongoing for years until seyi came to start the road dualisation. When the project was approved,the people of the area went to the secretariat to dance and be happy because they know it is a huge relief for them

Before then,the road coming from Old Ife road to Ajia with a spur to amuloko is currently being done to be completed by July,this will also enable the people of asolo amuloko and people living around that Asics going to old Ife road to be able to pass through Ajia.

Now the big one was being done which is the dualisation of the major road that leads to the area yet you are complaining that your bridge is being demolished
.

Please answer me, Are the roads above which I mentioned not currently being done? Will they start a project today and finish tomorrow? You people were happy when the contract was awarded,now you are complaining now that it is being done.

Tell me exactly what do you human beings want again? What?

https://feedbackoysg.com/new-iufmp-construction-of-adekile-culvert-ibadan/

That link above is the on going construction of the Goodwin adekile bridge

adeoba2008:
Ajibode, Apete and Sawmill

Lmao. I don't know about Ajibode has I passed there about February and no ongoing construction was going on but will answer you that of the other two.

Apete. The Apete road is the first concrete road in Oyo state and the road construction is being taken by no other by Seyi makinde. The road should be finished this year infact anytime soon sef ogether with the bridge that was just demolished for a bigger and better bridge. The bridge during rainfalls always causes deaths and traffic not it is demolished to pave way for a bigger one and better one you are complaining. Tell me exactly why you are complaining? I don't know please. If the road is not done,and left alone like it was during the previous administrations na una go still dey complain. Now it is being done you are still complaining.

I passed through apete to Awotan February and I was amazed. Apete has changed overnight due to that road construction yet you are complaining.

Sawmill. Two projects are currently being done there. The federal government is doing the Lagos ibadan expressway to end at Ojoo and the state government is doing the dualisation of the Gate to Old Ife road. The bridge above that was demolished was the FG and not even seyi so I don't know why you are complaining. Both the FG and the state are working hand in hand as the bridge will be closed for 3months or more sef.

As the FG is working above, likewise the state government too is working below.

I don't now know your problem,if road construction is started today will it end tommorow? When road construction is on going, people will have it difficult to do many things and life will be unbearable which is normal.

Road is bad,you complain,road is demolished to be done,you still complain.

So tell me exactly,what is the colour of your problem?

What?
