Why the rush to announce before the discharge?

czarina:
Create your thread to correct the misinformation. Someone created this one.

Lol... People like you always like to be fed with gory tastes that makes you feel good. Eish

More pics of the vandalized station...

This news is filled with lies. When and where was the fire station set on fire?

Yeah, the angry mob set to attack the station but they were quickly restrained by security operatives who shot into the crowd killing two people. This further infuriated the mob and they vandalized the station's properties.

The story that it was set on fire is a ruse. Check attached pics.

2.3 million naira. Haba...

Some people no dey shame.

on Saturday, January 19, 2019, people from different walks of life came together as one to lend their voices on a common cause; the old and the young, men and women.

We trooped out enmasse leaving behind our political afiliations, religious sentiments and ideological backgrounds to SAY NO TO VIOLENCE IN ELECTIONS 2019.

With faces marked with determination, high morale and spirits, we walked the streets of Oyo town. Despite the hot sun, we walked!

Under the surveillance of security agencies, we moved from the convergence point, Durbar Stadium thru Owode. The train paused at Owode roundabout to distribute fliers and the crowd were addressed. The train proceeded to Akesan market with a brief stop at Alalubosa junction.

The support of the market men and women at Oja Akesan was overwhelming. The train moved to Ashipa, Oroki, Isokun.

Its no gainsaying that HISTORY WAS MADE yesterday. In our own little way, we played our own roles towards ensuring free and fair electins in the February, 2019 general elections.

We want to appreciate all those who supported us to make this a huge success. The list is endless but let me specially appreciate the efforts of;

- All members of #OiKF team
- All those who supported us with their money, time and other resources
- All comrades who came from far and near
- Officer Sadiq Mana Bayo and officers of the Atiba Police Division
- Members of the Nigerian Red Cross
-Nigerian Students from different tertiary institutions
- Civil societies that participated
- Artisans
- The Oyaloja of Oyo, market women and men.
- All well meaning people who couldnt make it but sent their wishes.

On behalf of Omo Iya Kunmi foundation, we say we are proud of you all. Thank you all for putting your best to make this a great success.

May God bless you all.

The peaceful community of Elegbo area, Baale Agbe road, Sabo in Oyo town was thrown into panic on Tuesday, 27th December, 2016 when a man was allegedly caught after exhuming and mutilating a body at the Muslim Cemetery located within the community.

According to some accounts, the man who seemed to have been known for this notorious act in the town was caught in the act when some group of mourners who went to the cemetery to buried their own body observed a strong stench of decomposing body.

One of them decided to satisfy his curiosity by looking around to detect the source of the foul odour when he saw some parts of human body and a man hiding under a banana tree.

This curious mourner immediately raised alarm and held the suspect. The other mourners were alerted and they joined to raise the alarm which, of course, alerted some members of the community who mobilized and ran to the cemetery.

Not only was the sight disgusting to some eyewitnesses, it also got people emotional as the sight of a human body already mutilated brought tears to some people's faces.

The obviously angry community members apprehended this guy and he was questioned. From the video piece made available to me, he confessed to be a Ph.d holder and a lecturer who was finding it difficult to succeed.

He said he was introduced to the man who asked him to bring human parts by one 'Monsuru' and that he would be getting 10 million naira every three days.

Some reports said this man swallowed his sim card immediately he was caught to prevent the mob from discovering who his colleagues and associates were.

The mob, believing if that releasing the man to the police would only mark the end of the case, took the laws into their hands.

They resulted to jungle justice and lynched the suspect. Not only was he lynched, he was burnt to death.

As at the time of my visit to the cemetery, the body was still lying in front of the cemetery gate.

During this investigation, I met the Divisional Police Officer of the Atiba Division, SP Sadiq who gave us the police version of the story.

According to the DPO, the police were informed about the incident when the man was caught and two police officers (a maled a female) were dispatched to avert crisis and bring in the suspect.

On getting to the scene, the angry mob put up resistance and didn't allow the police to arrest the suspect. In fact, they attempted to stone the officers and the officers had no choice but to run away from the scene.

According to a report, this suspect has been in the business of mutilating and selling human parts for years. He had been caught once, handed over to the police but he was released afterwards.

This could have been one of the reasons why the community members decided to take laws into their hands.

The DPO also confirmed that the man had once been arrested around 2009 or so and that he had the habit of hiding under the pretext of insanity.

The DPO said the officers who went to the scene were able to get his phone but the sim was missing. He said they have gotten some few contacts from the phone and that efforts were underway to locate the man's relatives and his business associates.

As at Saturday, 31st December, 2016, the dead and decomposing body of the man was removed from the scene by the combined efforts of the Atiba police and the Health department of the Local government.

I run a cafe and I have been at this FCSC stuff since it started. I was able to register for myself on Friday and I got an instant notification containing my username and password via my mailbox but afterwards, i have been unable to do anything else. Now, the site tells me 'Internal Server Error'.

I think we should just be patient, this is how it was during the NPower registration until a lasting solution was proffered.

Oyo State Chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) late yesterday evening agreed to terms and conditions with  the State government, thus called off the industrial action that has entered  two months.

The meeting which was held at the office of the State's Head of Service, Mr 'Soji Eniade aimed at resolving the lingering imbroglio ended in "win win situation" and  resolved that workers be payed  two months salary as urgently as possible.

According to the Union Captain, Comrade Waheed Olojede said government has promised to pay two months salary arrears as fast as possible.

He further stressed that the  government has also promised to appeal to commercial banks not to make loan deductions from the two months to be released to avoid workers currently repaying loans would have the access to the payment.

Conclusively,  It was reliably  gathered that promotion letters would be distributed as soon as workers return to work.

lalasticlala:
Young lady, you are becoming quite controversial. The other time was with the picture of an incident that happened a couple of yrs back which you posted as the "Head" of a woman beheaded in Kaduna. It was really embarrassing. In this particular case, you presented the article as if you knew the reporter in question. You should have at least given credit by mentioning the exact name of the poster and also indicate that it was from Facebook.. Like, this was posted on Facebook by so so person. And you shouldn't have altered the person's account. I hope you learn From this..

She is just one arrogant lady, honestly. She sent some messages that I actually thought were going to be apologies but it turned out to be that she didnt care about the consequences of her actions. Do we need to emphasize the gravity of her action before she realizes that? Nonsense! If you are desperate to be a renowned blogger, why not work harder and be more creative rather than turn yourself into a shameless rogue and thief?

lalasticlala:
Kindly provide the link to the story on Facebook. Thanks

Sorry for the late response. I have been offline. Here is the link as requested.

When you pass off someone's work or life experience as yours instead of acknowledging the original source, it is plagiarism.
Plagiarism is morally, ethically and professionally wrong and could get you into real serious trouble with the wrong person. If you intend to take your writing further in the future, I suggest you desist from this now because it could come back to haunt you and damage a promising career. Please don't gloss over it.

Exactly. She is not even showing any sign of remorse. She has become a habitual plagiarist!

viviangist:
Ok. The Credit is Your Concern or the Allah ....

Credit ... Facebook Wall ... is Viral there ... so i can't start mentioning all the facebook users here ...
As for Allah and God , all means the same ok ...

Bloggers are not News Manufactures .. we seek for news ..
If am at fault .... am sorry , so let there be peace ...

What is my concern is that you allegedly brought up a post that doesn't belong to you. You even posted that it was reported by you. How can you be such a pathetic lying. What you just did is plagiarism. Get it straight and now you are coming with a straight face to defend what is not. Bloggers aint news manufacturers but must they claim what does not belong to them?

You could have simply stated that you saw this on someone's wall or probably screen munch it and not that you will even go as far as editing the post to suit your desire.

Peace wont reign until people like you who take credits of what others does desist from doing it.What a shame!

To the Moderators of this page,

Let me bring to you that this piece of news posted by viviangist is absolute plagiarism. The blogger even went as far as claiming the piece as the original writer. Let me inform the house that the post was written by a brother on his facebook wall yesterday. He took the picture and the above post was written by him. My brother, a muslim, wrote the piece and where he mentioned 'Allah' the blogger changed to 'God'. What a gut!

We may want to ask the poster to produce evidence of where this incident happened citing the location and time. Can he/she at least identify one person in this picture with a proof of evidence?

Let me say that while this news is a good piece of news but the Op should have at least given credits to the original write. I so wish that this post is brought down or else, we may start seeing Nairaland.com as a site where plagiarists are welcome to publish stolen news.

Already, my brother will be instituting a query against the blogger who stole his piece soon.

Thanks.

EPISODE 2

Yours sincerely, in no particular order, here is a list of the set of people that also contributed to the afflictions of Oyo State citizens;

1.The Electorates: These are the first set of people that are responsible for the present situations in the State. Had at least 70% of these electorates, which included civil servants, artisans, traders, pensioners, students etc. foreseen the current happenings, they would not have dared to re-elect the monstrous Gov. Ajimobi. But dear reader, why not also consider the fact that some of these callous acts being perpetrated by GAA did not start immediately in his 2nd term. The writing on the wall was clear enough to convince the electorates that they were reelecting a ne’er-do-well administrator. Money laundering, abandoned projects, unfulfilled electoral promises, non-payment of salaries & pensions, etc. marred his first term. Do we say the electorates did not see all these before choosing the monster? ‘Once beaten, twice shy’ they say… Do we say the people of Oyo State were not wise enough to stand up and unite against the man who is only a harbinger of misfortune to them?

Alas, my people who are now lamenting have forgotten the crumbs they greedily ate up for their votes and not knowing they already mortgaged their future with those of their children. They have forgotten how they allowed their self-interests and prejudiced mind to overshadow their sense of reasoning.

Some gullible elements were even ready to maim and kill fellow citizens all in the bid to return a monster to power. Face the fact, my people; you brought this woe upon yourselves. There is no way you are going to eat your cake and have it.

2.The Selfish and Ambitious Trio: Yes, that is what they are! Greedy, selfish, over-ambitious and inconsiderate are these trio who lost their minds all in the desperate quest to grasp power. These me are not only supposed to be shamed for being responsible for the hardship their selfish and egoistic decisions not to concede to the other party brought on the people they claimed to love, they should also have a fair share of the daily curses the people heap on the poor but monstrous Gov. Ajimobi.

These three persons had what it takes to allow for a formidable and strong opposition to tackle and prevent Ajimobi from being reelected. Co-incidentally, the trio came from the same political roots and they also share similar agenda/blueprint meant to emancipate the poor people of Oyo State. Unfortunately, their insatiable thirst for power was blinding and their egos would not allow them to come to a roundtable to re-channel the State from the course of destruction it had already been set to courtesy of GAA.

If the trio had amassed their resources (human, financial and intellectual) coupled with the popularity they already gained in their various constituencies, perhaps, their people won’t be suffering now.

a.Teslim Kolawole Folarin: This very bright and intelligent PDP flag bearer in the last election, who could have been a very good administrator of the State going by his manifesto, knew all along that his popularity amongst citizens of the State, despite coming from the powerful Peoples’ Democratic Party, was controversial. While some had hastily questioned and probed his performances at the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly for three consecutive terms, some citizens were always ready to link the innocent Senator to Eleweomo murder case which he had already been absolved of by a Court of Law.
As if these were not enough, TKF was victimized by some greedy party members like Jumoke Akinjide who were equally ambitious and felt his emergence was going to create an obstacle for their self interests.
Consequently, the embittered TKF and the crisis-ridden PDP had a handful of distractions that could have propelled them to seek harmony and support from the other two strong contestants.

b.Christopher Alao Akala: The popular ‘Omo Iya Alaro’ from Ogbomoso twon of Oyo State also played a prominent role in the present situation. The equally embittered ex-governor had a brilliant and rich political background in his home town which brought him into political limelight. This earned him the Deputy Governor post when Sen. Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja became the governor of the State in 2003.
Due to his loyalty to the late siege and strong political godfather, Alhaji Adedibu, Akala ‘became’ the Governor when his boss was ousted out of office in January, 2006; a move that his boss saw as treachery and betrayal. He became more popular and contested against his boss to become the Governor in 2007.
His four years in office, though controversial, was nothing compared to the acts of brigandage being perpetrated by GAA.
In 2011, Akala also lost to Gov. Ajimobi in an election and ever since then, he had been so desperate to get back to power. He worked assiduously to become the flag bearer for the PDP but unfortunately, the band fell into the hands of Sen. Teslim Folarin. This infuriated Alao Akala and he left the party with his aggrieved supporters for a less politically relevant party, the Labour Party thinking his popularity was going to grant him victory.
If only he had not left, if only he had accepted his fate, if only he had not been hell-bent on the ambition, if only he had swallowed his pride and remained in PDP with his forces, if only he had prioritized the interest of this people, if only he knew that his ego and selfish interest had brought no good to his people… if and only if he had known…

c.Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja: Senator Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja, loved by his people, also set a wrong footing on this matter. It’s quite unfortunate to note that the ex-governor, being the eldest of thee trio, also played a principal role in the emergence of a monster who is set to destroy the state he once built and would have loved to rebuild if fate and destiny had permitted him.

Adewolu’s tenure as governor remains one of the periods that will always bring smiles to the face of an average citizen when remembered. It was an era of prompt payment of salaries, infrastructural developments amongst others.

Alas, if the ex-Governor and his supporters had sought and listened to advice, the state wouldn’t have ended up in the shackles of an oppressor. A round table talk, a tuck-in ego and a less-bloated ambition would have calmly resolved this issue. He could have sheathed his sword and embrace the younger contestants. He could have made them see reasons why efforts must be consolidated to combat the Tsunami of Governor Ajimobi.

‘Aso o bo Omoye mo,omoye ti ri ihoho w’oja’.

How I wish the trio hadn’t given in to their egos, how I wish they didn’t allow themselves to be carried away by their over bloated ambitions. Definitely, Oyo State would have been delivered from the clutches of the monster!

3.Some Traditional Rulers: Yes, the personalities, not institution should also bear some of the curses and insults heaped on Gov. Ajimobi.

It’s no gainsaying that the relevance of the traditional institution cannot be over-emphasized, especially during the election periods. Most political aspirants seek for royal blessings and supports from the royal fathers, some also do this knowing fully well that the rulers wade strong influence over their subjects. Whatever they tell their subjects to do, they do.

Unfortunately, some of the traditional rulers have seen this as an opportunity to enrich themselves thereby extorting the politicians and greedily negotiating on behalf of their unknowing subjects. They won’t come out to tell the aspirants/political office holders the truth. Sycophancy then becomes the order of the days.

Why not just consider the sacred offices you hold, your subjects and the resultant effects of some of your decisions on then? Isn’t it high time you eschew from hypocrisy, greed and selfishness?

I so rest my case.

RZArecta:
Op you're a wailer.. Gej is at fault

Really? You must be a joker then.

Kunmi 'Bola
25th June, 2016.

It is no longer news the hard times currently being experienced by, not only the civil servants of Oyo state due to non-payment of over 6months salaries cum the poor welfare situations, but also the entire citizens of the State who have been at the mercies of the callous government of Governor Abiola Ajimobi (GAA)’s passive and lackadaisical attitude towards socio-economic development of the Pacesetter State.
Consequent upon these, the citizens are not just poor and suffering, they are on the brink of starvation. As it is now, the civil servants have embarked on an indefinite strike to protest the ill treatments being meted out to them by the GAA’s government.

Quoting the State governor at a meeting he had with some National and the State’s labor leaders after being persuaded to pay at least three months out of the over 6months he is owing, he said, “Even, I do not have one month that I can pay”.
What a shame, you may say. Apparently, there is no end in sight to the present predicaments of the civil servants in the State. Unfortunately, the bailout fund allegedly granted by the FG to offer succor to some States of the federation remains unaccounted for by the Oyo state government that also benefited from it and the mystery behind how the money was disbursed remains unsolved.

Since the emergence of GAA over a year ago as a second term governor, the State has remained in a total state of stagnancy. Social and infrastructural developments have come to a standstill while the education sector amongst other sectors in the State is on the verge of apparent decay. An instance is the recent WAEC ranking of States’ performances that saw the Pacesetter State appearing as the 26th State on the table. What an achievement!

One may want to take a walk across States and you would discover what a mess the Governor’s passive attitude towards development has turned the State into. Roads constructed by previous administrations have been neglected and un-maintained; those allegedly constructed by the present-day administration are already turning to pools and trenches. What an eyesore!
Not only those, the Governor, known for his tooth-gapped bragging was always seen jumping up and down during his campaigns for re-election, making frivolous promises which he knew he was not capable of fulfilling. This is tantamount to a tale of telling the people what they wanted to hear so as to get what he wanted from them.

A typical instance is one of the empty promises he made to the historical people of Oyo town in the state. Governor Ajimobi identified the people’s desperate need for a radio station and so, promised them one. Thinking he was being true to his words, a location which had been a house to an ancient library was chosen. The library was brought down to allow for the construction of the radio station. Years after, the people of Oyo town are still dreaming of owing a radio station. They fell for the gimmicks of the ‘promise and fail’ Governor.

Naturally, the Governor should be held responsible for the presently poor conditions the citizens are living in and the pathetic states of socio-economic infrastructures in the State. Curses, insults and abuses; he deserves them all but a critical look at the present situation has brought this question to my lips several times; Should we blame Governor Abiola Ajimobi for the afflictions he has brought to his people?
You may want to nail GAA to the cross but should we not remember the roles played by some prominent principals that gave the sitting monster an easy ride to Agodi Government House in the last election? Have we forgotten so soon that the Governor didn’t single-handedly clinch victory but for some unfortunate roles played by these people?

To be continued...

Apologies for posting the un-verified news initially.

He served as Secretary to Oyo State Government (SSG) in the administration of the late Chief Kolapo Ishola.
