Bishop Juice: Odenni Rauf should not stop at building just one church since I am sure he has built several Islamic centres and Mosques like his Masters in the north.

Rauf should also donate and support the demolition of the Mosque at the Temple mount in Jerusalem and see that Osun contributes to the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon.

Bloody bigot !

Psychedelia: Take who to court? Laughing my asss off.
Where do you think this is? California?

You know how Kate Henshaw's marriage ended?

She lied to her husband she was on a movie set, and then paid him a surprise visit in his office (because someone had been tipping her off on some "obo-normal activity" going on between her husband and his secretary, Angela Gordon).
She caught him RED-HANDED 'wrestling' with the woman, and a heated argument ensued. Her husband then proceeded to lay down the terms: She would either accept the affair or get the phuck out of the marriage. Kate picked option B, and that was how it ended.
The Angela Gordon lady now cruises around in a solid SUV ride with a new 3-bedroom apartment courtesy of Kate's ex-husband. They're in love now.

Nobody's sueing anybody. Welcome to Nigeria

See Story abeg!!! Tell him more Biko.....
This is Nigeria.

HNosegbe: After a careful analysis of the myriad of problems facing Osun State the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has decided to..... build a church.

Smh...

Laughable!!

The state’s government’s plan to build a church somehow weakens the argument by critics of Governor Rauf Aregbesola that he was islamising the state.

The Osun State government has acquired parcels of farmlands in Akakumosa West local council of the state for the construction of a church.

The interdenominational worship centre, to be named ‘Open Heaven Worship Centre,’ would be sited at both Odo Iju and Ibodi communities.

The state’s government’s plan to build a church somehow weakens the argument by critics of Governor Rauf Aregbesola that he was islamising the state.

The state government said, Tuesday, that it had paid N51 million as compensation to farmers whose lands would be used for the church.

While presenting cheques to farmers, Muyiwa Ige, the state’s Commissioner for Lands, Physical Planning and Urban Development, said that compensation was done on humanitarian grounds and the government’s commitment to the welfare of the people.

Another N11 million was paid to 243 farmers whose lands were affected by the ongoing construction of the MKO Abiola International Airport, Ido-Osun, Egbedore Local council.

Mr. Ige said that the government’s acquisition of the lands was for the development of the state in order to attract foreign investors.

While assuring that the Governor Rauf Aregbesola-led government would not hesitate in compensating those with genuine land papers, Mr. Ige called for the people’s support in developing the state.

Sorry... An error there.

The president also reeled out some of his achievements in 2013.

President Goodluck Jonathan has pledged to build on the achievements recorded by his administration in 2013 to make Nigeria even greater.

The President said in his New Year message to Nigerians that despite several continuing domestic and global challenges, the year 2013 witnessed many positive developments, which the country must strive to build on in 2014.

Reviewing the various achievements, the President said his administration diligently implemented its agenda for national transformation in priority areas, including power, rehabilitation and expansion of national infrastructure, agricultural development, education and employment generation.

In spite of the estimated 1.6 million new jobs he said were created in the country in 2013 as a result of his government’s policies and actions, the President said more jobs are still needed to support the country’s growing population.

“Our economic priorities will be stability and equitable growth, building on the diverse sectors of our economy,” the President said.

In 2013, he said government commenced the implementation of the National Industrial Revolution Plan, NIRP, aimed at industrializing Nigeria and diversifying the economy into sectors such as agro-processing, light manufacturing, and petrochemicals.

In addition, he said Nigeria also successfully negotiated a strong Common External Tariff, CET, agreement with the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, partners on the need to protect the country’s strategic industries from foreign domination.

As a result of his administration’s backward integration policies, Mr. Jonathan said Nigeria moved from being a net importer to a net exporter of cement, with its production capacity growing from just 2 million metric tonnes in 2002 to about 28.5 million metric tonnes today.

“For the first time in our history, we have Foreign direct investment into Nigeria has also been strong. In fact, for the second year running, the UN Conference on Trade and Development, UNCTAD, has named Nigeria as the No.1 destination for investments in Africa,” he said.

He noted the revolution in the agricultural sector, saying his administration successfully tackled corruption in the input distribution system during the year, as farmers now obtain their fertilizers and seeds directly through an e-wallet system.

About 4.2 million farmers, he said, received subsidized inputs through the programme in 2013; a scheme, he said, has restored dignity to our farmers.

Apart from the production of over 8 million metric tonnes of additional food during the year, the President said his administration was able to bring inflation down to its lowest level since 2008 partly due to higher domestic food production.

The country’s food import bill, he said, was reduced from N1.1 trillion in 2011, to N648 billion in 2012, pointing out that this has now placed Nigeria firmly on the path to food self-sufficiency.

On achievements in other sectors of the economy, the President said between 2007 and 2013, allocation for education almost tripled from N224 billion to N634 billion, apart from additional efforts towards improved access to education in the country.

These included the construction of 125 Almajiri schools, and the establishment of three additional Federal Universities in the North, bringing to 12, the number of universities established by the present administration.

Also, about 352 laboratories were rehabilitated, while 72 new libraries were constructed in the Federal Unity Schools and laboratories rehabilitated in all the 51 Federal and State polytechnics across the country.

Mr. Jonathan also assured that his administration would continue to prioritize investments in key sectors such as infrastructure development, power, roads, rail transportation and aviation.

Apart from the completion of the privatization of four power generation companies and 10 power distribution companies, Mr. Jonathan said government was also in the process of privatizing 10 power plants under the National Integrated Power Projects, NIPP.

To ensure effective evacuation and distribution of power generated, he said an additional $1.5 billion was advanced for the upgrade of the transmission network to boost electricity delivery to beyond 18 hours per day.

To cut down on public expenditure and wastage, the president said foreign travels by government personnel in all ministries, departments and agencies would be curtailed.

He said government would complete the deployment of the three electronic platforms- namely, the Treasury Single Account, TSA; the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System, GIFMIS; and the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS- to curb leakages in the system.

TEXT OF A NEW YEAR MESSAGE TO THE NATION FROM PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN

Dear Compatriots,

I greet and felicitate with you all as we enter the year 2014 which promises to be a momentous one for our country for several reasons, including the fact that it is also the year of our great nation’s centenary celebrations. I join you all in giving thanks to God Almighty for guiding us and our beloved nation safely through all the challenges of the outgoing year to the beginning of 2014.

Exactly 100 years ago today, on January 1, 1914, the British Colonial authorities amalgamated what was then the separate Protectorates of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria, giving birth to the single geopolitical entity known as Nigeria. For us therefore, today is not just the beginning of a new year, but the end of a century of national existence and the beginning of another. It is a moment for sober reflection and for pride in all that is great about Nigeria.

Whatever challenges we may have faced, whatever storms we may have confronted and survived, Nigeria remains a truly blessed country, a country of gifted men and women who continue to distinguish themselves in all spheres of life, a country whose diversity remains a source of strength. We pay tribute today, as always to our founding fathers and mothers, and all the heroes and heroines whose toil and sweat over the century made this country what it is today.

As I noted, a few days ago, the amalgamation of 1914 was certainly not a mistake but a blessing. As we celebrate 100 years of nationhood, we must resolve to continue to work together as one, united people, to make our country even greater.

I assure you that our administration remains fully committed to the progressive development of our country and the consolidation of peace, unity and democratic governance in our fatherland. Despite several continuing domestic and global challenges, for us in Nigeria, the year 2013 witnessed many positive developments which we will strive to build upon in 2014.

Obiagelli: Choi, setting new targets man. Money speaking.

Money is good jare!

Next news jare...

Lord Mecuzy: Which Party Are They Ryt Now That They are being Stoned?

PDP nau, but once they decamp to APC, they automatically transform into progressives.

utumunta: Political tadpole, are you not aware that the members of the reps you are celebrating because they decamped to the APC are unelectable in their constituencies? They decamped because in their wrong notion, they thought their people have rejected their party instead of their persons and individual performance.

The APC is busy welcoming incumbent, potential 2015 losers and dispensing with those that can win elections for them. The people have seen the poor performance of members of this present legislature and I bet you that more than half their numbers are not coming back(whether APC or PDP). The party that is going to have the majority in the legislature shall be the one that fields the most number of fresh faces.

I do not expect you to know this fact cos your analysis is always coloured by your clannish allegiance, hammock boy myopia and eternal servitude to your overlord.

Prosperous New year sha.

Gbam!!!

donphilopus: Remember, not everybody in APC is a Saints, but they're all working towards perfection, or being a Saint.

I disagree.
Not this present APC, 80% of them are self-centred and hungry for power.
I felt sad when I saw APC leaders welcoming the rejected, frustrated and corrupt PDP members into their fold.
The worst of all, APC tryna woo OBJ of all people.
