The Ekiti State government says it would in the next few days refund money over-deducted from the salaries of workers for car, housing and computer loans. This followed the submission of the report by a committee set up by the State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, which looked into the matter. Speaking on radio and television in Ado-Ekiti Tuesday, Governor Ayo Fayose also promised that the projects embarked upon by his administration would be completed as scheduled. The governor said teachers, whose salaries were over-deducted fell into those under the Teaching Service Commission and the State Universal Basic Education Board. While giving the assurance that the money would be refunded shortly, the governor said steps had been taken to prevent a recurrence in the future. On projects such as the flyover, the new Ojaba Market and the extension of the dualisation of the Ado-Ikere Road, Mr. Fayose said they would be completed on time. He said the projects being undertaken were not misplaced, saying that certain facilities that should ordinarily make a state capital or local government headquarter look its worth were lacking in Ekiti State. Mr. Fayose explained that he deliberately embarked on such projects to create long lasting legacies that would outlive him after his tenure of office. “Only a foolish leader or politician will be working for the purpose of winning election alone but the wise one will do those things that will take care of the future,” Mr. Fayose said. ”The late Chief Obafemi Awolowo is still being remembered for what he did. The dualisation of roads in Efon, Ikole and other places is being done despite the paucity of funds. We need a leader who has the vision and won’t be bogged down by paucity of funds or other hindrances. I have taken it to personally impact on people’s lives positively. We need to put the people first,” he said. The governor enjoined the state workers, in their capacity as the engine room of government, to rally round his administration to deliver on its promises.

It was a morning of surprise for residents of Osin-Ekiti in Ikole Local Government of Ekiti State on Friday as a black nanny goat gave birth to a kid goat with two heads. Residents of the sleepy town of Ekiti said the strange birth was the first ever in the history of the town which has existed for more than 50 years. According to witnesses, the nanny goat which belongs to and Octogenarian identified simply as Mrs. Ola laboured for more than 24 hours without any success before veterinary doctors were invited for an emergency rescue of the goat which was already exhausted. “It took the vet team more than two hours to successfully remove the two-headed creature from its mother,” an eyewitness said. Many residents who witnessed the strange birth declined to speak, fearing that the occurrence has ominous undertone. A middle-aged resident who spoke under the condition of anonymity confirmed that it was the first time he would hear of such occurrence since he started living in the environment. “If it were those days of the past, the owner would be forced to visit the palace to say her own side of the story of how she came about the goat and the kid,” the resident said. “It would be termed ‘fetish and chronic use of juju’ and the owner might even be sent into exile if proper explanation was not given.” Another resident who also begged to remain anonymous held that a goat with two heads was the handiwork of evil-doers, testing their evil powers through this channel. “It is not ordinary. God doesn’t make mistakes. Strange things are happening these days and I think the world is coming to an end like the Holy book said,” the resident said. However, Dr. Abdulrasheed Shuaib, the veterinary doctor who led the team that eventually saved the goat from the strenuous strange birth said it was a mere mistake in nature. The doctor who works at Temmy Vet, Oye- Ekiti explained that though he hasn’t seen such an incident physically before this one, it wasn’t a new thing. He said, “Since issues like that happen in humans in the form of Siamese twins and many other congenital abnormalities. It simply means that during fertilization − the union of the male sperm and female ovum − forming a zygote, the zygote was supposed to completely split to give rise to two separate fetuses. Incomplete splitting of the zygote must have resulted in this and instead of two distinct fetuses, here we are with a kid with two heads.” He said such births would have been easily carried out by surgery. “Cases like this are usually successfully done only by surgery (Caesarian section) but somehow, miraculously, we were able to manipulate by traction and get the foetus through the birth canal,” he said. “It was a nice experience encountering such though some were beginning to lose hope on the survivability of both dam (nanny goat) and kid through the manual method. I told them we have to get it carefully and professionally done, since surgery should be our last alternative.” Under close gross examination, the baby- goat had two separate heads joined at the neck region, two forelimbs and two hind- limbs. Each head carried two eyes, a nose, a mouth, a tongue and a pair of eyes. Despite the fact that the kid was quickly disposed of, the news has spread around the town. Dr. Abdulrasheed added that the strange birth could have been caused by series of environmental factors and what the goat has consumed during the gestation period like chemicals, smoke or haphazard grazing on unwholesome plants.

Why I Didn’t abandon Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan – Fayose Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has declared that his strong belief in the will of God and total loyalty to one’s principal in politics made him not to abandon Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan after losing the 2015 presidential poll. President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress defeated Jonathan in the keenly contested presidential poll, making him the first incumbent president to have ever been defeated in Nigeria’s history. Fayose also said his strong faith in God and experience in politics were some of the things that kept him going to be able to survive the onslaught against him and managed the turbulent and traumatic political happenings in Ekiti in last one year. Speaking in Ado-Ekiti at a state dinner organised to mark the first year of his second term in office weekend , Fayose said : “When I believe in a cause and trust somebody as my leader, I don’t show disloyalty.

The Governor went on a meeting with the stakeholders in his office yesterday evening, and below are his words after the meeting. I went to a meeting just now with the stakeholders, everybody that benefits from the allocation,(Representatives of) university, college of Education, civil servants…everybody(they are still in the meeting now), I read the allocation to them (like I do to Ekiti people on the radio and television), I give them the allocation paper, go and share it, whatever you share, whatever is for the government house and protocol, to maintain this, to put on light in the government house, send it to us. It is my job as governor to say I draw this allocation, most states today, why we have those problems is because the Governor comes first, the people comes last, but here the people comes first, the Governor comes last. So, they have the paper for the allocation issued on Friday, it’s with them, whatever they conclude, whenever they finish, i’ll be here waiting for them and whatever they direct is what i will do.

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said his government was destroying the legacies of huge debt, unpaid salaries, white elephant projects, bad governance and corruption left behind by the All Progressives Congress government of Dr. Kayode Fayemi. Fayose said never again shall Ekiti State be governed by those who will borrow billions of naira to plant flowers and create comfort for themselves alone. Governor Fayose, who was reacting to Fayemi’s interview in some newspapers in which he said that “his legacy was being destroyed”, said no responsible government will sustain a legacy of over N86 billion debt that was incurred on projects with no direct bearing on the welfare of the people. In a statement issued on Thursday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said it was necessary for Fayemi’s negative legacies to be destroyed, adding: “Even in the APC, his legacy of betrayal of Senator Bola Tinubu, the man who made him governor, is being destroyed.” He added: “Today, Fayemi has been ostracized by those who assisted him to Office because he has betrayed all of them, including Tinubu. “Does he then wants us to sustain the legacy of serial betrayal of his benefactors? “If he served Ekiti and its people well, why was it that he was roundly defeated in all the 16 local councils in the State in the June 21, 2014 governorship election and his party was also defeated 16-0 in the Presidential, National Assembly and House of Assembly elections? “Even his own party men described his electoral defeat as the worst in Nigeria.” The governor, who said it was shameful that Fayemi, who left two months’ salary and four months cooperative and unions deductions from workers salary, as well as pensioners pensions and gratuities unpaid could be talking about his legacies being destroyed. Fayose said: “Did Fayemi leave behind any positive legacy in Ekiti? “When Fayemi became governor, he choose to close down two universities established by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of Segun Oni and abandoned the Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, claiming that the State could not fund more than one university. “The same Fayemi, who said Ekiti had no money to fund more than one university preferred to take N25 billion bond to plant flowers that never germinated up till now and build a new governor’s lodge, civic centre, pavilion and execute other irrelevant projects. “Furniture alone, in the N3.3bn governor’s lodge that he built for himself and his wife cost N604.9 million and Fayemi wants such legacy of profligacy to be sustained in Ekiti? We are sorry to tell him that we won’t sustain such legacy of waste. “Even vehicles bought for traditional rulers and political appointees, his government did not pay and uncompleted Oba Adejugbe General Hospital and State Pavilion were commissioned with fanfare. “Today, Ekiti State is under the yoke of debt, courtesy of Fayemi’s mismanagement of the State resources and what we are destroying are those legacies of mis-governance he left behind. “One bad news that we must however tell Fayemi is that; we won’t only destroy his legacy of mis-governance and betrayal in Ekiti, we will also make sure that economic devourers like him will never taste power in the State.”

One day a local evangelist bragged during a crusade that his God was more able than all the other gods in the town and the powers of the universe that the villagers worshiped put together. Just then, rainstorm sounds started sounding overhead, threatening the progress of the crusade. The evangelist lifted up his voice and declared with confidence that if the rains fell, then he wasn't a man of God; he would stop preaching!
Before he could finish his bluff, the rains began to hit the crusade grounds so vehemently, apparently in disregard to his declarations. The whole town left the crusade grounds to their houses, shaking their heads in disappointment and dismay.
The evangelist, so distraught and angry, packed his belongings and left the town the next day. On his way through the next town, he checked into a local drinking spot and drank himself to stupor. As he laid on the ground cursing God, an old seedy looking man tapped him gently on the shoulder.
"Man of God", the old man began. But the evangelist quickly cut in, "don't mention the name of God to me. He is fake. He is unreliable. I am no longer a believer in this God. A God who chooses to disgrace his servants. Leave me alone!"
But the old man would not let him be. He continued,"I am the fetish priest in the village you just preached at. During your one week stay in that village, you destroyed all the charms i had made on the people for 45 years. Your prayers and your words always came with some fearful fire and power. I tried so many times to eliminate you but i couldn't. My last chance came yesterday. I had loaded my gun with gun powder lying wait on the mountaintop where i had a very clear view of you. My plan was to shoot you from a distance since i couldn't get close enough to you due to the fire around you. But just when i lifted the gun, the rains came from nowhere, wetting my gunpowder and covering you in a cloud so that i couldn't even see you. All i saw was a bright man holding a sword in front of you. I was so terrified. I concluded that your God was indeed all powerful and Almighty. That is why i've been looking for you since then. I want to follow this your God!"
The ex-evangelist bowed his head in shame!
Dear friends, sometimes, it is just wise for us to believe that our Father knows the way He is taking us. We should just trust His leading. Let our boast be in the Lord, not in ourselves. If we decree a thing and it doesn't happen, let us not see it as disappointment or dishonor from the Father. Let us just believe that the Father wants his perfect will to be done in all things.
Share if you think it worth sharing. It motivated me.

Former Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Femi Bamisile at the weekend flagged off free petrol distribution to commercial motorcycle operators, as part of efforts to bail them out of the present economic hardship. Flagging off the programme in Ado Ekiti at Reference Point Petrol Station in Adebayo, Bamisile said the measure was in compliance with the cardinal objectives of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, which places high premium on the poor masses. No fewer than 200 motorcyclists, popularly called Okada riders benefitted from the gesture, which was part of the mobilisation drives towards the 2018 governorship poll. The ex-speaker appealed to the commercial bike operators to resist attempt by anybody or group to sabotage the programme. Bamisile, who has declared his intention for the 2018 gubernatorial seat on the platform of the APC, said the exercise would be done on every first Friday of every month. He said the programme, which would be a continuous one, was part of the series of programmes lined up to shore up the party’s popularity in the state and to cushion the effects of the hard-biting economic recession on the populace. He said: “You would all agree with me that many of these okada riders are graduates, but circumstance of life make them what they are. So, they deserved attention. We have to create enabling environment that will make them ply their trade without difficulty. “APC under President Buhari has a blueprint that is entirely centred on the masses. Our party is masses-oriented and we have to display this in our deeds and that was what we are doing. We will continue to give them supports and ensure that an average youth does not see crime as a way of life. “But we beg them not to allow anybody to use them to sabotage this programme. It was meant to make lives more meaningful to them and reduce poverty in the system,” Bamisile stated. He assured that the APC will unveil and begin to implement series of programmes and schemes for other groups, like the market men and women, widows, people with disabilities, unemployed youths, among others before the end of the year.

Why Pharmacists Council Shuts 236 Medicine Stores in Ekiti Pharmacists Council of Nigeria has raised the alarm over increasing number of illegal drug dealers in Ekiti State, revealing that a total of 236 pharmacies and medicine shops were sealed off during an enforcement raid. According to the council, the raid conducted by the officers of the drug regulatory body was not meant to send people out of jobs or create unnecessary panic in the system, but to ensure compliance to rules, particularly on proper registration, to safeguard the health of the Nigerian citizens. Speaking with journalists in Ado Ekiti recently, the PCN Deputy Director and Head of Enforcement, Mr. Stephen Esumobi, said out of 240 premises visited, only four were given clean bill, describing the development as dangerous and inimical to the people’s wellbeing. Esumobi revealed that they committed offences ranging from unauthorized sale of medicines, operating without the supervision of a pharmacist and poor storage and documentation facilities. He said the clarification over the allegation that the body was becoming too coercive became imperative, in view of the protest staged against the closure of some medicine shops by Association of Drug dealers in Ado Ekiti on a recent Thursday. “It surprised me that people had to protest in that manners and numbers. It shows that it was a premeditated action. We are not out to make life difficult for them, but to ensure compliance to simple rules. As a regulatory body, we cannot allow the sale of drugs that can kill innocent people. “It is bad that Nigeria is a society where people don’t do research or take statistics about happenings. We have not asked about the cause of increasing kidney failure in Nigeria. We learnt that some Pharmacists are compromising with them and whoever caught will be deregistered”, he said. Esumobi urged the State Ministry of Health to continue to engage drug dealers in constant seminars and workshops, to prevent calamity from befalling unsuspecting members of the public who may not be able to differentiate the registered ones from the quacks . “Our office received reports of the activities of unregistered premises , engaging in illegal sale of medicines in Ekiti. Since many of them were not recommended for the sale of medicines, the quality, safety and efficacy of drugs sourced from them cannot be guaranteed. “Even some of the registered premises were selling beyond their approved list. Some keep stocks in a manner that violates laid down rules and regulations to the detriment of the citizens. If the ugly trend is allowed to continue, it will have negative impact on the citizens. What we did was an attempt to reverse the ugly situation”, he said. He urged the people to purchase their drugs from licensed pharmacies and patent medicine vendors , to prevent their health from being jeopardized by the actions of those he described as saboteurs.

Ekiti House Permits Fayose To Convert Bank Loans To FG Bonds The Ekiti State House of Assembly has passed a resolution permitting the state government to participate in the restructuring of commercial bank loans to Federal Government’s Bonds. It will be recalled that the government has been struggling under the weight of effects of huge commercial bank loans it inherited from its predecessor. According to a statement issued by the Special Assistant to the House Speaker, Mr Stephen Gbadamosi, the legislature gave its nod over the matter during a sitting of the House on Tuesday. This was sequel to a debate over a letter the Speaker, Right Honourable Kola Oluwawole, said the state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, addressed to the House. The Speaker also disclosed that the governor had requested the pleasure of the honourable members at a meeting on important state matters today (Wednesday). Right Honourable Oluwawole said the letter, entitled; “Restructuring of Commercial Banks’ Loans to Federal Government Bonds,” was seeking the approval of the House, through a resolution, as part of the conditions the government needed to fulfill to partake in the exercise. “A letter came from the Executive Governor of the State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, to the lawmakers. The letter is entitled “Restructuring of Commercial Bank Loans to Federal Government Bonds.” This will help the government to restore fiscal stability. But a resolution of the House is part of the conditions needed to partake of the restructuring,” he said. It was upon this disclosure that the House deliberated extensively over the subject, after which the Leader of House Business, Honourable Akinyele Olatunji, mover a motion for the resolution. Part of the issues considered by the House in granting the permission were that, than commercial banks’ loans, bonds have longer time of repayment schedule and that the interest rate is lower. Members also pointed out that the interest rate on bonds was lower compared to that of commercial banks’ loans. Earlier, the House had screened a commissioner nominee from the executive, a former member of the House from Oye constituency 1, Honourable Ayodele Michael. He was unanimously confirmed for the position, after some members had taken turn to examine his past deeds as a politician, lawmaker and hard working party man.

The Ekiti State Police Command and the Department of State Service have arrested a self acclaimed Pastor, Mr Babatunde Balogun, two women and 10 others in connection with kidnapping in the state. The security agencies also declared two siblings: Kenneth and Jonathan Ozoh, as well as one Kehinde Adeleye and Sunday Ogunleye as part of the suspected kidnap syndicates terrorising Ekiti residents in the last three months. The quartet were accused of being behind the kidnap of a lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Dr Femi Omisore, a priest with Ekiti Catholic Diocese, Rev Father Emmanuel Akingbade, among other victims that were recently kidnapped within the State . Specifically, Balogun was accused of giving spiritual counseling to the suspects and sharing from the proceeds of the kidnappings. While parading the suspects in Ado Ekiti on Monday, an event attended by Governor Ayodele Fayose, the DSS State Director, Mr Duke Fubara and the Police Commissioner, Mr Etop James, said the suspects in statements made had confessed about their involvements in the crime. Fubara added that, one Gbenga David, a.k.a Oruma, who was accosted by his men in Osun State during investigation and shot while making efforts to escape was receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital. He said the efforts became fruitful, following synergy between the DSS and the police to rid the State of crimes and miscreants. Fubara said, “We could all attest to the fact that the kidnappers terrorised the State from the first week of May this year. Their activities brought a lot of trauma to the people. “Though, some of the victims have been released, but we did not give in. We did investigation and we increased our network and the result is what you are seeing today. “What we found with the composition of these suspects was that some of them were members of the inmates that escaped during the November 30, 2014 jailbreak in Ekiti.” Also speaking, the CP said the anti-kidnapping Squad of the Command was working round the clock to prevent resurgence of kidnapping in the State. Fayose appealed to opposition to stop politicising kidnapping and other criminal acts, saying “It is a collective fight. We have to fight this together, so that all of us can sleep with two eyes closed.” The Governor, who lauded the security agencies’ efforts lamented that Ekiti had been in turmoil since last year’s jailbreak in Ado Ekiti, urging the security operatives to step up efforts on the need to bring the escapees back to prison. “Ekiti has been under great torment since last year’s jailbreak incident. But we want you to beam your searchlights on the neighbouring States like Delta, Osun and Ondo States because we had the trace that people used to come from outside to train our people here in kidnapping and make use of them. “If you study this very well, you will understand that the networks have been widened and we have to do everything to break it,” Fayose added.

Taiwo Olatunbosun (Ekiti APC Spokesman) Begs Fayose for Forgiveness Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress, (APC), Ekiti State chapter, Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun, has sent emissaries to the Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, seeking forgiveness for all he has done in the past. Sources disclosed that a national assembly member from Ekiti State, was among those approached by Hon. Olatunbosun to broker peace between him and the governor. Though it is not clear whether or not the emissaries had reached out to the governor, the source said Olatunbosun was facing some spiritual problems, which necessitated his seeking peace with those he believed he had offended. It was equally learnt that for the first time, Olatunbosun was feeling guilty, realising how Fayose truly changed his status from a rice farmer in Igbemo-Ekiti, his hometown, and a Beer seller at Spotless Hotel, Ado-Ekiti, to a Deputy Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, during Fayose’s first administration between 2003 and 2006. Olatunbosun was among those brought into political limelight in Ekiti State by Governor Fayose. He was said to be a rice farmer in Igbemo-Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government area of Ekiti State when Fayose picked him up and gave him the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to contest the Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Constituency II seat in the State House of Assembly. Fayose went further to make Olatunbosun the House of Assembly Deputy Speaker and even Acting Governor, thus making him one of the most people in the government. However, the moment Fayose was impeached, Olatunbosun turned agains the governor and he eventually moved to the All Progressives Congress (APC) when Fayose picked the PDP governorship ticket last year. “When Olatunbosun was made the APC Publicity Secretary, his belief then was that he will either use the position to get money from the APC national leader, Senator Bola Tinubu or if he keeps attacking Governor Fayose, the governor will have no option than to call him for settlement. “As it is now, Olatunbosun has not been able to get the expected financial benefit from Tinubu and Fayose has ignored him despite his persistent lies against the governor. “Most importantly, Olatunbosun is said to have been battling with some spiritual problems for sometimes now, and all what he has been told so far was to go and beg whoever he had betrayed in the course of his journey in life,”a source said. One of the emissaries who spoke under the condition of anonymity said;”He told us that his spiritual father from Oke Agbe Akoko in Ondo State, in whom he had the greatest trust, also told him to seek forgiveness from the offended benefactor. That, until he seeks forgiveness from who changed the story of his life for better, and whom he personally confirmed to be Governor Fayose, he may not likely have a solution to his problem.” “Honestly speaking, I have never had much belief in consequences of betrayal to be this cumbersome and threatening, until when this man called Olatunbosun ran to me for help. “I thought it was a kind of political merrymaking which he has been known for, not until he showed me a big sore on his lap. The national assembly member, who said he was yet to meet with the governor on the issue, added that he was still looking for an auspicious time to talk to the governor, and that he was sure the governor will forgive and forget. “Although he has confided in us that he cannot but discharge his duty as the mouthpiece of the party, APC, here in Ekiti, he confessed that most of the press releases published in newspapers in his name were actually written by one of the aides of former Governor Kayode Fayemi.” Do you think Governor Fayose will Forgive him?

In his bid to increase rice production in Ekiti state, the Hon Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Honorable Kehinde Odebunmi has met with Rice Growers and Rice Processors, to discuss ways of helping the Farmers to increase rice production, and expand the rice business in the state. The State Government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development provided fund to empower the farmers from Commercial Agric Scheme Fund (CACS Fund). In his address to the Famers and Processors present at the meeting, the Hon commissioner said, the state governor, Dr Peter Ayodele Fayose is determined to make Ekiti the food basket of the nation, and one of the best ways of doing this is by empowering farmers in the state with loan and subsidized agricultural inputs. The commissioner further stressed that, In 2014, the state government disbursed N17Million to some farmers to grow and Expand their businesses, but up till this moment nothing has been refunded to the state coffer. Odebunmi said the state government is more than ready to help the farmers, only if they are ready to help the state by paying up loans gotten from government. He said the non-repayment of loan is a major impediment to the sustainability of the programme. He further stated that the fund was a revolving one, and not a share of a supposedly ‘National Cake’. The commissioner has therefore directed Fountain Agricultural Marketing Agency (FAMA) an Agency in the Ministry of Agriculture to put up a strategy on how to totally recover the debt owed by the debtors in order to ensure the sustainability of the programme. The Agency has swung into action, and is presently collaborating with a Private Loan Repayment Firm through Public Private Partnership (PPP) to recover from the debtors (Farmers and Processors) debt they are owing the government. The Agency provides marketing platform to the farmers through provision of fertilizer to the farmers, recovering of loan from farmers and making the funds available in the next cropping

Tragedy struck in at the Nova junction axis of the Adebayo Iworoko road, Ado Ekiti at the early hours of Wednesday, as a ghastly accident involving a commercial truck carrying bottled drinks, crushed a motorcyclist leading to the death of the passenger on the motorcycle. The accident, according to eyewitnesses, was caused by over speeding of the motorcyclist, a meat seller who was trying to beat the morning rush to get to the abattoir. The motorcyclist had tried to overtake the truck but miscalculated the large waste bin on the road and swerved under the rear tyre of the large truck. The rider of the motorcycle escaped unhurt, but the passenger, a young boy of about 16 years (name withheld), was unlucky as he was crushed by the truck.
