Various discussion groups may have deliberately distanced themselves from the reality that is essential Akala. His boisterous being actually beclouded our better sense of judgement. In righting wrongs, Akala stepped on powerful, entrenched toes and a media-hate campaign ensued. Its either the Olubadan, Alaafin Vs Soun and the rest of them.

Secondly, his rabid dog, Dotun Oyelade made nonsense of whatever finer political achievement Akala had. Rigged or not, the election was quite close and as the saying goes, you rig only where you are popular

You and your dirty mouth! You are enjoying stolen funds in the UK and then come on here to say rubbish like "we've been tough on" a flamboyant criminal. E no go better for you and your family!

Akala is a big scoundrel and he will be back to face EFCC in Jesus name. Go talk to all the bankers in Ibadan and they'll tell you about his INSANE rush to empty government accounts in the last few days of his tenure. Because of this Akala naughty person, my older brother and his family had to flee Ibadan to stay with friends in Lagos when Akala started threatening him because he would not transfer N1.5 billion out of Oyo State accounts into an account that belongs to his son-in-law's company to pay for a contract he awarded his son-in-law last week! I hope that thief rots in jail or dies by firing squad because Nigeria cannot move forward until we get rid of plutocrats like this and their supporters.

Who saw GEJ dancing with his fat babe?
very ugly sight

Knowall is a very funny person, you castigate Fashola, yet you are understanding of Akala. Akala was a disaster in Oyo state, the state regressed during his tenure, the teaching hospital you are talking about was given to his son in law who knew absolutely nothing, he did nothing in Ibadan, at least some governors will still do something in their capitals, he did absolutely NOTHING.

BAM!

I have been holding that fact as arsenal in reserve.

Wetin my arse they go look for for Debenhams in Oxford Street? 

Wetin my arse dey even look for even for Oxford Street itself when I fit hit several cheaper alternatives

u got me wrong. i am not making case for OGD nor his ways, rather i gave some economic strenghts of d state to correct your earlier allusion of d state to be poor in your originaal post.

also, its not too much a debt for ogun state economic strenght at N45b, only issue is dt it wasnt judiciously used. the state will get out of it, but it should only hav been there for tangible reasons.

ogun state is one of d fastest developing state non oil economies presently. what it needs most is a disciplined and focused leadership

I think most people don't really understand why Akala seemed so demonized in Ibadan. Rather than fiscal policies (though quite a few seemed bad) and the supposed inflation of contracts, his problem was based on 2 major issues

1st was his flamboyance - a 60 year old carrying designer canes, wearing ankle chains, bracelets left and right and there was the claimed "bleaching". Most saw him as loud, crass and irresponsible and if you ever heard him laugh, na wa! But these things were his choice and I could not see myself judging him over such - to each his own.

2nd and definitely bad, was the takeover of the State by NURTW and allied thugs. I am certain thousands died & I believe it was this that showed him the way out of Agodi Government house. Nobody felt safe as if you were unlucky enough to have them hit your vehicle in traffic, you could end up a dead statistic on the spot - it was that bad. I prefer not to describe the day they came to the high court beside my home. It was terrible!  Eleweomo & co "owned" town and everyone suffered for it. For allowing them such free rein, Akala became hated & lost his mandate.

Other issues remain but the above stand out

Well, while you may think like a Nigeria, where tribal sentiments determines things, this shop doesn't as they use hard fact a available to them. While many Igbos/Yorubas may be in London but they don't shop in Oxford street, including the rich, but sunday markets all around London. While Hausa visitors just like few of them that live in the U.K probably new nothing about cheap Sunday markets.

Kinda funny that most of these guys who are pitying Akala claim not to live in Nigeria. You need to drive through Ibadan and Oyo in large to know the extent of this guy's incompetence.

Gbenga Daniel is thief of "epic proportions", this is a man whose hand is permanently stuck in the cookie jar. How do any sane man explain how he blew N49 Billion on thin air. I cannot recollect the FG holding Ogun's monthly allocation throughout the rein of this ruthless rogue and shady character.

Akala is a spendthrift("of the Barkin Zuwo stork"he mismanaged the funds at his disposal, do we blame an incompetent man at the helms of affair of a state or the man who imposed him on Oyo State, I think OBJ should take the flak of whatever happened in Oyo State.

And where exactly does that take us?

s there something he's saying that we don't know already?  puhlleaase!!!

First, Lagos is not N154 billion in debt. It is N124. Second, no one has to borrow in life. . . but this limits whats you can accomplish and how quickly you can grow

So any rich Nigerian is a thief ? Just because you are not rich? Don't you want to be rich too? Common man, be fair, not all rich Nigerians are public office holders. We have lots of[b] business men all over the world[/b].

Ogun state isnt poor, its only being mismanaged. Its currently more industrialized dn any onyher SW state except lagos. Property and real estate is appreciating fast just as d population is faster developing dn other SW states. All due to r position in closest proximity to Lagos, thus serving as receptacle to d socio economic overflow.

With what I've seen, Akala has done what he is capable of doing in Oyo state. Compared to those that have governed the state in the past. Let know focus on how the new regime with it's vision will move the state to greater heights.

You are cretin!

Who are you, in your daft world, educating?

ABI O RI E O PE!

How did you conclude the post was my opinion quantifying Yoruba contribution in my address to you?

Moooron!

All I said was saying someone paying council tax is a contribution is mooronic!

Dumbo!

Yorubas are fabric of London my arse!

What should the Indians say then? They are Aso Ebi!

Foool!

ou are reetarded!

Where did you see me mention Hausa contribution in my post?

How did you come to the conclusion I said they contribute more than the English?

Cretin!

How does your Hausa contributing more than English link to Yorubas having dual citizenship?

You post lacks structure and flow, shows how under-educated you are.

If you withdraw your council tax and stay in the country, you will go to jail.

If you withdraw your council tax and leave the country, you will be replaced in the locality by other nationalities or there will be less social burden for the council to need council tax for.

Your council tax is really insignificant.

That was really a silly counte

Wow, Nigerians seriously underestimate my Hausa/Fulani people  

Equating Hausa people with those almajiris you see on the streets is silly when rich, powerful alhajis and their families are busy making moves around the world. They study in Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Dubai and come to London to SPEND money. They might be mistaken for Somalians or Middle Easterns because of their Islamic dress but they are there. You don't meet them in Peckham or Greenwich university as many live outside the hustle and bustle of London.

Someone already said "the average hausa dude has far more class than an average rich southerner, all they have is noise, so much talk and no substance" Just because we don't broadcast ourselves left and right doesn't mean we're not here, and the Westerners have noticed and respect our spending power and reserved style.

Yorubas of all shapes and sizes hustling and making a living are common in London, but Northerners of wealth and influence are few but powerful, and they are who the Debenhams, Harrods and Selfridges respect and want to attract.

BTW, Hausa is the most widely spoken language in Africa after Swahili. FACT

Ku zauna a chan mana ku che we bamu da kudi, sai mun gama abun da zamu yi

It has been confirmed that Gbenga Daniel escaped to London on Friday and Akala has also disappeared this morning.
I can assure you with 100% confidence that this wouldn't have happened if Buhari was our president or was going to take over tomorrow.
All due respect and absolutely nothing against Jonathan, but we must all come to realize that we've missed road once again.

Folks in Egypt, Yemen, Libya, even Iran and few other countries are starting to wake up and getting control of the future of their countries. Are we ready to follow the same foot steps in Nigeria?

Wake up Nigerians!

Knowall I love your zeal,i am with you hundred percent.If only we could get these news to the people,if only.I know there are many people reading this thread.Hopefully someone who is fed up and rich enough to buy a radio broadcasting equipment will set up a radio to broadcast to Nigerians and report all these news that GEJ and his fellow culprit do not want Nigerians to hear.Rogue radio stations have been used to mobilize the citizenry and start revolutions in several countries of the world and it might just work in Nigeria.

I thought all you  who are against GEJ, put your hate to the electorate and lost?

We won, just in case you don't understand what that means it means that no on other than on Nairaland CARES about the crap you spout.

Allow the new breeze to sweep through the country, that is what the electorate wanted,

It is getting boring reading all these sour grape filled posts. From the madmen dreaming of a buhari coup through the ones posting video of buhari taking oaths of office, this place is turning into a home for nut cases.
