Fayose provides details of Ekiti’s debt profile
premiumtimesng.com


The Ekiti State Government has described as total falsehood, report that the state borrowed a total sum of N56 billion since Governor Ayodele Fayose assumed office and that a fresh N25 billion loan was applied for.

“The only fresh loan taken by the government of Fayose was the N10 billion grant from the Excess Crude Account, which was released to all states for capital projects, N2.8 billion requested from Wema Bank to pay State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) counterpart fund out of which N1 billion has been accessed and N600 million for MDGs counterpart fund, which has been repaid.”

The government said “the report, which was attributed to the Debt Management Office (DMO) was orchestrated from the media office of the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who is obviously struggling albeit unsuccessfully to redeem his battered image by trying to change the narrative from the debt he plunged Ekiti State to and the wanton looting of the treasury when he was governor.

“We are aware of how hard Fayemi’s media handlers tried yesterday, to get the false report published in major newspapers, claiming that they had a classified document from the DMO.”

The Special Assistant to the State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, who reacted to the report in a release issued on Monday, said; “There is no recent bulletin from the DMO website concerning debt owed by any state as claimed in the false report. Nigerians, especially Ekiti people can visit the DMO website:
https://www.dmo.gov.ng/debt-profile/domestic-debts for further clarification.”

He said: “As at the time Governor Fayose assumed office, some of the loans on the debt profile of Ekiti State were; Bond from capital market (N26.7 billion), loan for developmental projects obtained from Ecobank using Fountain Holdings (N5 billion), loan for recapitalization obtained from Wema Bank (N1 billion), commercial agric credit scheme from First Bank (N420.8 million), loan for legacy facility obtained from Ecobank (N408.2 million), loan for developmental projects obtained from Skye Bank (N7.5 billion), vehicle lease obtained from Ecobank (N146.6 billion), laptop procurement (N375 million) among others.”

“It is on record that Ekiti State Government was indebted to the tune of N86,013,689,097 as at October 16, 2014 that Governor Fayose took over. The debts are broken down as follows: Bank Loans, N15,831,613,425.62; Bond, N26,749,796,784.75; Outstanding Warrants, N15,522,552,900.76; Outstanding to Road Contractors, N21, 286,126,749; Outstanding Remittances to FG, N709, 883,656.75; Outstanding Remittances (State Govt), N592, 995,374.89; and EKSG Public Servants Outstanding Emoluments, N5,137,888,224.37.

“We are however not unmindful of the battered image of the APC in Ekiti State and the attempt to change the narrative to ‘Fayemi’s government truly plunged Ekiti into debt, but Fayose’s government has borrowed more.’ This is more like someone admitting to being a thief but calling others thieves too.

“No matter how hard Fayemi and his spin-doctors try, they cannot erase the fact that apart from regular monthly allocation and Subsidy Reinvestment Programme (SURE-P) fund among others, Fayemi’s received N46.4 billion from the Excess Crude Account, yet he took N25 billion bond and N31 billion commercial bank loan. One of such frivolous loans was the N5 billion obtained from Ecobank without the DMO approval, using Fountain Holdings Limited, a company with N15 million share capital.

“Finally, the website of the DMO is www.dmo.gov.ng, Nigerians can visit the website to see whether or not there was any bulletin published this month concerning debt owed by Ekiti State government.”

...I can't really wrap my head around this piece of yours...what exactly are you driving at pls?...

Don't go engaging in meaningless gathering, there are resources and agencies of our dear country, people are incharge, and no matter how you try to defend your self against the oppressed pattern slot of drunken men, I mean all over the world not only in Africa. It's a game, and those who play their card too well are at the fore front, there is nothing you would do. Just cry, cry yourself a river men, nothing is going to change, are you with me??


Go to where they are discussing the very matter of the country, don't stay around losers, men who are ignorant of the game of politics. You know most times people play it with their conscience. The world is a market place, and you need to realise this, we are for sale. We sale our talents, our gift and our brains in the association of the race. We are running together up there. There is no going back. Both on the resources discoveries, we are going to advance. Government which a game of society are pioneered by men who says what happens in the country. Most people are venditive to the government work.

Have you forgotten just lately, they came to you to seek for your votes, they humbled themselves to you, pretending they are real. You hosted a party because they visited, and they gave you a check of little cash you haven't seen before. That's one of the ways the game is played. It's all a huge game of mind's. If you want to join the game, first you must tell yourself the truth. It's not for decent mind. They rob the people and pay THEMSELVES abundantly beyond their generations. For a lifetime they remained in government welfare and being taken care of by the Cabal's.


I chose to reveal the name and I have never worked for them and I won't work for them. I have no vote for them, they know they will never get it from me. But I will surely take my rights. There is no game above love for the people. My brothers and sisters we are one, and from one blood came everyone of us, despite our arguments and disappointments. We shouldn't forget. You are not bigger than me, I am not either. We are all given a responsibility to serve each other. You are to serve me and I am to serve another. We serve each other with love. That's the True government from the beginning. But a ravaging Cabal's seized the system of relationship and turned it into a money spinning empire for themselves. They have Rob the people all the entitlement meant for them, and equally paid themselves.

The three arms of the government is being ran by a blooded Cabal's who were initiated into the system through the previous and the previous before they the missionaries activities of the ancient. Which was centered on people welfare and advancement of course. As long as you all have chosen to turn your backs at the King of kings and chosen to serve man made authority, it's going to be pervasiveness system. There is the right and wrong in everything, the right wins, the wrong suffering.

My reform and return is to return to the old religion, we must return the goods and services to the rightful owner. " Do unto others what you want them to do to you"
This should be the foundation to which the government should be established on, we are involved. My name is in the country. I have my rights as much as you, why do act as if you have more rights then I do. Think twice and reconsider it again before you take the leap forward. This is what it's....

Goshen360:


So you understand I was talking about the old law WHICH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INCLUDES? Why then do you want to argue? Btw, what makes you think I don't know what the law is? You're joking! Moreso, how is Nigeria law got anything to do with the Mosaic law? Btw, you don't need no eternal law to tell you or instruct you to love. Love is part of our new nature, it comes as a package in our new DNA. To know God is to love!

OkCornel:
My brother in TRUTH...I say a big amen to your prayers.

May the Uncreated Creator and Eternal Father of everything seen and unseen help us all.

Amen.

Goshen360:
Joker

Didn't I make the statement and said ask me for scriptures? You see how you that is mature can't even decode my statement. Okay, since you that's mature can't get the job done here, let the young one help you out.

1. Romans 7vs6-12 and 2 Cor.3vs2-11 proves the 10 commandments IS THE or INCLUSIVE of the OLD COVENANT.

2. Hebrews 8vs13 says the first IS OBSOLETE.

You want to argue with scriptures?

Goshen360:
You tell me because you the one schooling me now and lemme ask questions

Goshen360:
You still haven't said anything. My statement was....the law, including the ten commandment was abolished. You said, I'm young in biblical studies so I told you to school me....how the law and ten commandments still stay....I'm being focus on my statement and your response. Thats what I needed you to address.

Goshen360:
Why don't you teach or school me and lemme ask you questions.

OkCornel:
It's funny to note how ignorant Pastorpreneurs think that the Law is just the 10 commandments alone.

If you are not keeping the Sabbath day holy...you are breaking one of the commandments.

If you are wearing mixed material of wool with cotton, you are breaking a commandment.

If you are tithing money instead of harvested crops and livestock, you are also breaking a commandment.

IGNORANCE EVERYWHERE

Tithing as per the Torah is obsolete in line with today's reality.

But the sacrificial giving as preached by Jesus in Matthew 25 v 31-46 can never ever be obsolete. It would pass the test of time in the past, present and future across all races of humanity under heaven.

Goshen360:
The law, INCLUDING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IS ABOLISHED. You tell me show you scriptures and I will.

OP Bible ref u r giving does not relate wit wat u are saying. I want to ask u a question: Dou you agree with me that we have 2 priesthood in the bible, Levitical and Melchizedecal priesthood. if you agree wit me what is it that u don't understand, if Jesus Christ came in d order of Melchizedek which signifies a change of law in the priesthood, y do u then choose to follow the law of the levitical priesthood, if Christ wanted us to follow the old law he would have come in the order of Aaron.

I know you know whom you have believed, and by believing that God Almighty sent his own son to reconcile all to himself through the death. The law of the living God Almighty which stands forever says the soul have been lifted up to vanity shall surely die, of a truth, his own mercy couldn't save the soul of his own son from dying.

Isaiah the prophet wrote about him thousands of years ago and the records are there

Who have believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

53:4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD have laid on him the iniquity of us all.

53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Touching piece!! Crying already. Because you see this is so true and without controversy. What you direly needs is ask for an understanding to comprehend what you heard. To hear it,it must be a revelations. Revealed to you personally, and not just to everyone,


Isaiah 53:1 Who have believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Is the boldest questions asked,it still available.

Men of God Almighty, this is for you. Trying to study it again and again. See clearly what you have been asked to accomplish

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. We have no respect at all for this person, for us he did nothing, this is the situation our lord Jesus Christ is enduring from ignorant men... but he has help them out, yet they perish for the lack of revelation knowledge, yet glory in their senses knowledge, pride themselves on vanity

53:4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. This is the judgement delivered against the beloved son of God Almighty, he never cared to give him away because of the ransom of us. Oh men of God Almighty, you have been appointed to share with your people those things that have not been revealed to them. Touch them with much love from the passage outlined.

Share the gospel of Christ Jesus with your people and don't be too much busy chasing Satan up and down, study some more to find out
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Won them on the cross, triumphant there forever.

It's a settled fact. It was done in the open, not some secret deals. I beg all of you. Cheer them upon, encourage them, build up their conscious practice, make them good citizens, link them up with the training of the Spirit of God Almighty. He is the teacher came down from heaven to impact us with his personality.

John 14:15 If you love me says Christ Jesus, keep my commandments. To love one another sincerely and believe that he indeed is the lord of all to the glory of God Almighty. He continues;

14:16 And I will pray the Father God, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it couldn't see him, neither knows him: but you know him; for he's dwelling with you, and shall be in you.

14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world can't see me no more; but you will see me: because I live, you shall live also.

14:20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 14:21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Amen.


This is the power you have been looking for, to show to your congregation, here I have given it to you. Allow him express himself to you. The arm of the lord being revealed to you, and to your people.

First of all, freeze or anyone seeking to know the truth must as matter of urgency fight to realise that the old testament has not been abolished, but it's to be fulfilled day by day, by the disciples of Christ Jesus. The scribes and Pharisees couldn't understood how to do the law. The word of God Almighty is the law.

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.

2:20 Wherefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances, 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men? 2:23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.


For those who knows the truth, there is nothing that is in New testament that didn't come from the old testament. If you are a baby in the school of Bibles studies you wouldn't know the differences and the applications.

When you listen carefully the way and manner CHRIST JESUS preached while on earth you will think towards this way. Here are some instances where our lord Jesus Christ compared the old testament and the Glorious things;


Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Now this is absolutely merciful, he CHRIST JESUS never said because you taught wrongly you aren't coming to the kingdom of heaven, no, he said you be considered as last born in the house. What mercy, how lowly the lord is!

He continues;

5:21 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, means you fool, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

5:27 You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery: 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her already in his heart.

5:29 And if your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

5:30 And if your right hand offend you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

5:31 It have been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committed adultery.

5:33 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, you shall not for swear yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths: 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

5:36 Neither shalt you swear by your head, because you can not make one hair white or black.

5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these comes of evil. That's from Satan.
