Has Fayose stopped other sisters' state from paying more than 3 months salary? Nearly all states owe more than 4 months salary. The National economy situation is causing this and the past government debts. Concerning the overhead bridge, I was reading on NL sometimes back when someone was criticizing him on project, that he only pays salaries from allocation nd that dat he don't commission projects, that Ekiti people are in trouble. I believe you are a Nigerian nd d same time from Ekiti, I'm also a public servant in Ado Ekiti, there is nothing wrong with d project. If it were to be Fayemi who made d copy and paste pix of a flyover bridge in front of Fajuyi Total filling station, we won't see anything wrong in him embarking on the project. Governors embarks on projects that give them publicity or more popularity. Concerning tax, since you said u live in Ekiti, I think U should be able to know what come to Ekiti from FAAC every month or if U don't know it U can get what goes to every state from TELL Magazine. If it were to be Lagos state government that ask their people to pay tax such people won't see sumtin wrong in it. I think with all the tax Lagos state do collect every month, I don't expect to see any untarred road on d street of Lagos. Also with all d tax nd allocation in Lagos, I believe Lagos should be in the position to generate 24hrs electricity for pple of Lagos alone. All we do is dat we criticize with sentiment when we don't like someone personality. Not that I'm supporting bad government, but atleast Fayose is still in line. Concerning his children going to private University, average Nigerian can send their children to any University in Nigeria or abroad. Politicians have their bad part and good part. Among Fayose contemporary, tell me which one of them is better than him. Believe it or not, Fayose is the only governor that has direct access to the pple for now. Let's always be sincere with our criticism. What's governance when U don't ve access with the people u are ruling over. All politicians are the same but some are still beta than d others in a little way. Come 2019, let's try other Political party. We have more than APC, PDP and LP. Let's stop recycling same set of group. Thanks

God bless you oh my brother, I wanted to reply him before but your comment has summarized everything i intend to say. I also reside in Ado-Ekiti myself. Some people will just come here and start criticizing people with sentiments. They should go and ask Fayemi the benefit of his so called government house that he used billions of Naira to build or his 50million naira bed to Ekiti people. Some people are still fooled by Fayemi's eloquence and sugarcoated mouth. Shebi you saw how much he wants to use to update ministry of solid minerals website, 700million naira plus, almost a billion. By the time he finished with Nigeria, we'll know who is smarter, whether it is Ekiti people that voted him out or the the ones that knows nothing about Ekiti and yet talk like they do.

Armaggedon:
oyo was a kingdom not an empire

we now know better

Oyo? a kingdom and not an empire? You've got to be kidding.

Armaggedon:
tribal rant can never take the place of sound historical discourse. There was nothing like 'yoruba kingdom'

Yes you're right, nothing like Yoruba kingdom.
Yoruba had an empire not a kingdom.
Benin had a kingdom while Yoruba had an empire.
Benin/Edo is an enclosed tribe within a single Nigeria State while Yoruba is a race in Africa and beyond.
Between a kingdom and an empire which one is superior? Here is the dictionary meaning of the two:
An empire is an extensive group of states or countries ruled over by a single monarch, an oligarchy, or a sovereign state.
A kingdom is a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.

Why are they mostly igbos and some yorubas but no Hausa?

I don't mean to sound tribalistic, but on the list, Yoruba are 7 while the remaining 8 are people from South East and South South.

I don't mean to sound tribalistic, but they are mostly Igbo tribes! We have the flare and talent in acting

I don't mean to sound tribalistic, but on the list, Yoruba are 7 while the remaining 8 are people from South East and South South.
