Politics › OPINION: Clear And Present Danger. (the Ilorin Okada Rider Menace.) by highbee02(op): 9:14pm On Jul 16, 2019
Date: 2019-07-16
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, residents of Ilorin city and Kwara state as a whole. I know people who drive their cars or walk on the sidewalks will read my piece on the commercial motorcycle operators, (AKA Okada) menace and nod their heads in experienced agreement. We the Ilorin residents have had the misfortune of seeing reckless Okada riders take over our roads in a Gengis Khan horde type approach. I decided to put up this write up so that the concerned authority would do the needful to stem the tide of this nasty influx.
To start with, let's all look at the number of unions and meeting point that these Okada riders have in our areas, we would see that they are multiplying in an exponential manner, than dare I say, "Pentecostal" churches these days. On my residential street alone, which is about 400 meters long we have three separate unions and garages of Okada riders. The unions comprise of at least 70 riders each, you do the math. It a clear case of over-saturation on a road not longer than 400 meters.
Secondly, has anyone noticed the age bracket of a majority of the Okada riders in Ilorin? Most of them are in the age demographics of between 14 to 18 years old. These teenagers are completely impervious to danger. They do not have any responsibilities than to feed, use drugs and clothe themselves. I know you would tell me the economy is bad that is what leads to Okada riders. These teenage riders that should be in school, have no wives and children, mostly no aged family to cater for either. Try talking to them, mostly the really young ones don't understand any language spoken to them, sometimes they don't even understand Hausa which they claim they are. I suspect that some of them are not even from Nigeria.
If you get the opportunity to look into the face of any of them, if by chance they remove their dark glasses or crash helmet with tinted shades, you will see a codeine doped and drugged set of eyes, bloodshot most of the time. Their lips would be totally dark from smoking various smokables and they generally exhibit characters of a drug addict.
In addition to the above, take a gander at their official government-issued, blue reflective jackets. Most markings on them are faded and they have now designed their own jackets, most of the Okada riders have abandoned the official jackets for the fake cheap ones. You will never be able to read what numbers or markings they have on their jackets for later recognition, should a crime be perpetuated riding an Okada using that jacket.
In conclusion, do we really need to talk about their riding skills in traffic? Do they know road signs, do they know anything about traffic laws? Whichever way, they are on their right, driving against traffic, making a u-turn in front of an oncoming vehicle without looking back or using/having a rearview mirror and overtaking from the right-hand side is all typical of the Okada rider. Almost every car owner in Ilorin has had a "brush" with these Okada riders.
The immediate past administration, led by Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed promulgated a law to curb the menace. However, the governor did not have the political will to go through with the law. I pray the new Governor takes it upon himself to help Ilorin out of this horrible menace.
However, I am aware of the huge role the Okada riders played in the "Otoge" movement. Let us hope his Excellency, Mal. Abdulrazak Abdulrahaman will have the political will to face this menace squarely. This is his Excellency's first year, this is the best time to do this cleanup. After the second year, he probably would have re-election on his mind, thus regulating such a huge voting block as the Okada riders then, would be a big no-go area.

Islam › MSSN Advises Kwara On Religious Freedom In Schools by highbee02(op): 9:57pm On Jul 08, 2019
The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, Kwara State chapter, has called on the state government to prevail on the management of all public schools to allow pupils of different religious backgrounds to observe morning assembly prayers according to the dictates of their faith.
The society said the call was necessary to forestall a breakdown of law and order in public schools.
The MSSN call came in the wake of a recent incident at Bishop Smith College in Ilorin, capital of the state, in which the school�s Imam was allegedly molested by some members of the school�s staff when he attempted to pray in the Islamic way, immediately after the Christian prayers were said at the school�s assembly ground.
The incident, according to a statement signed by the MSSN Chairman, Nurudeen Ibrahim, occurred on Friday, June 21, 2019.
"The Muslim-dominated city of Ilorin is one of the most peaceful cities in Nigeria. Muslims in Ilorin are accommodating and tolerant. But our tolerance and peace-loving nature is exploited as a basis for the desecration and infringement of our rights.
"Thus, we received the above devastating news with a mix of umbrage and shock. We state that forceful proselytisation of students and assault on Muslims in a public academic institution is not only condemnable and below the minimum standards of tolerance or civility expected in a democratic society, but it is also a violation of the fundamental human rights. It is equally a violation of Section 38 the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999."

Health › Stop Boiling Your Sperm by highbee02(op): 9:44pm On Jun 21, 2019
In one of our training sessions yesterday, the facilitator collected a Nokia torch hand set with fully charged battery. He brought a fresh egg. Then he put the egg and the handset together and placed them into a polythene bag. He tied the bag and told us to call the phone number..... Calling....calling.. ..busy.. busy.
When the battery was drained down, he gave the phone to the owner and cracked the egg.
Behold the egg was cooked!!.. done!!!. We were surprised and asked for the explanation.
He told us that every handset emits electromagnetic rays. That it was the rays that was responsible for cooking of that egg. He also said that for device to be named " hand set " by international bodies is not by accident.
He said that it is never a pocket set. He went on to say that males (men) have egg resemblance in between their legs...scrotum.
He admonished men to stop putting their hand set in their pockets, but to hold on hand. If you continue to put set in your pocket, the radiation from it will denature your spermatozoa and cook your scrotum .
That is one of the reasons our men will marry 2 to 3 years no Issues. They begin to blame their wife. They will visit men of God for fasting and prayers. God will answer them and reverse the condition, but coming out of the church, they put back the handset in their pockets and continued to denature their sperm and cook their scrotum again.
Before a communication mast is mounted in your property, you will be paid between 10 to 20 million naira as long as you sign a document the network provider gives you. People don't even read the document. Only sign and collect the pay. The document reads in part within the middle ( we are giving you this money to buy land in another place and relocate, because what we are about to mount here is dangerous to your health ) . If you continue to stay there in about 10 to 15 years period, you and others living there will be suffering from one cancer case to the other.
Please , don't be putting handset in your pockets. Inform your friends and relatives about the dangers. Ladies inform your brothers, male friends and relatives the same.
By putting sets in your pocket or inside bra Can cause prostrate and breast cancer respectively.

Education › Pay Subeb And Local Government Workers by highbee02(op): 2:21pm On Jun 13, 2019
Press Release.

10th June, 2019.

*PAY SUBEB, LG WORKERS FROM THE N5.4B TAX REFUND, GROUP URGES GOVERNOR ABDULRAHMAN.*

Following the news and the release of the sum of N5.4 billion tax refund due to Kwara State on May 28 of this year, we, the People's Voice, wish to submit our resolutuons in this regards:

1. That, the Kwara State Government under the leadership of His Execellency Alhaji Abdulrasaq Abdulrahman may wish to exercise the powers conferred on him by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to order that the money should be used to pay PART of the outstanding salaries of both SUBEB and Local Government workers.

2. That the refund money in question is outside the 2019 signed budget, therefore, the State government is at liberty to graciously and judiciously use it in championing any developmental project of public interest. And by our assessment, as a patriotic group of Kwarans, we found the payment of the outstanding salaries of the category of workers' mentioned above as paramount.

3. Our research also reveals that, both the Local Government and SUBEB (and their respective pensioners) will cost Kwara State Government N2.1 billion to pay for a month salary, therefore the available fund can cater for two and half payment or better still pay 2 months. While we suggest that the remaining N1.2 billion should be set aside for other infrastructural development projects in the state.

4. We wish to emphatically re-register our stance that the non-compliance with the court verdict and other relevant regulatory provisions that has to do with the State Government taking full charge of the running of Junior Secondary School Education in Kwara State away from Local Government Councils cannot promote nor guaranty academic excellence if it is allow to continue. The group through its Deputy Publicity Secretary call for immediate compliance actions on the part of the state government.

5. The group members observed that, leaving the financial commitment of Junior Secondary School in the hand of helpless tier of government like Local Government Area Councils is simply puting part of our Basic education in comatose And if the state government continues to play hide and seek game with the issue of Junior Secondary School Education funding in the state, it will not only spell doom in the future of our young ones but also on the generation yet unborn.

God bless Kwara State.

Signed:

*Comrade Abdulraheem Kehinde,*
*Assistant Publicity Secretary,*
*The People's Voice.*

Saraki also enjoyed federal might and that was what Kept him in power till he met his Waterloo. Then, our votes didn't count. Many of us voted APC without even knowing some of these candidates simply because we were tired of Saraki dynasty, looting and misappropriation of public fund.

I am based in kwara so sit back n let me educate u a little about saraki.
Most of those who deposed saraki were at one time or the other his boys, they ordinarily wouldn't have being able to unseat n depose him but for the federal might and calumny. Most of those guys worked for or with saraki at one point or the other, they left after they either lost out or did not get what they wanted, most of them were in PDP, hoping to use the platform, they all decamped to the APC when Saraki himself crossed to the PDP, they ran to Abuja cos at this time Abuja was looking for Anybody that can help them finish him completely, most of them would bow their heads if they met Saraki One on One, but they all his under federal might n cover to launch fatal attacks on saraki, Saraki himself underestimated their capabilities and was less perturbed, he only realised when it was virtually too late, he tried to pull some strings but federal might, rigging and militarization was just too much and he lost out, yet he maintained his calm. Saraki is a principality in his right, a boss of bosses. I know he will bounce back.
Forget the federal might or militarisation ooo. We were tired of dynasty, simple!

That's only if she has learner's permit. In most cases, people will only buy d Lerner's tag and attach it to their vehicle without the permit and even with d permit the law still requires that a professional driver should always be by your side.
