THISDAY checks revealed that the out-going President has since moved on from his defeat in the Presidential election and has mapped out his post-presidency plans which includes playing the role of a global statesman by taking advantage of the huge boost in his ratings as a result of his conceding defeat by calling his opponent, Muhammadu Buhari before the final tally of the election results.

Wahala deh o........ I'm waiting to see whether truly the rest of the world are mediocre as some Nigerians.

Bla bla Bla......... Nonsense!

Nice one...... They must also fashion out ways to mop out ammuntions which are in the hands of these boys.

If majority of your group are truly tired of this country, please do it the right way. Learn from the Scottish. Secession is not worth anyone's blood.

The radio must be shut down while those behind it must also be arrested for treason.

OP, you and others who think like you should get a life....... Na wetin, haven't you guys seen fine girls before? Nigerians should stop disgracing themselves.

Anyway, in my opinion, it's the beautiful lady that's very lucky to get married to the Governor. I'm one of few who believe if Oshomole is not a Governor, he will still catch the babe. When Oshomole speaks you will want to listen...... He's bigger than his size.

psucc:
So as Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State is about leaving with a pile of unpaid entitlements of workers you will attribute that to 'other achievements' of his?
Even as the highest earner from the Federation Account, he still plunge the State into a huge debt burden of about N900b.

. . . and that too is the 'other achievements'.

I'll if only the loan was used for capital expenditure that is capable of generating money or capital projects that has innate abilities to add to the growth and development of her citizens and the state in general.

It's commendable but what are his other achievement? I hope he didn't use the state allocation for recurrent expenditure alone.

Is that the reason why he was elected for 2 terms?

OP, of course..... That is APC modus operandi. The one I'll never forget was when they wanted to pick the Vice-president. You have to see the way respectable newspapers were dropping different name each day...... Oshomole on Monday, Ameachi on Tuesday, Fashola on Wednesday, Tinubu on Thursday, Osibanjo on Friday. And imagine argument that followed each name on nairaland.

In retrospect, it was fun.

Mtcheww! Less than 20 days for all these nonsense to end.

What is the difference between an Igbo, a Yoruba and an Egbira man?
Y
Is there an intellectual or leadership trait one has that another does not or is it a matter of how each men has grown and disciplined himself to become the best he can be and give his best to the world around him?

You tribal warriors are a bunch of silly kids who have nothing but empty spaces called brains in their cranium. You are not worth the oxygen you breathe and definitely not worth the skin you have. You people do not deserve the title humans as human beings have higher brain functions but you people don't even have anything that deserves to be called a brain

You are lacking in sense and anything relating to intelligence, you don't mind sacrificing your humanity just so you can brag about something more worthless than animal dung(animal dung can be used as fertilizers) you need a brain transplant: The brain you presently use has been corrupted. It will be better if you were hollow or better still flushed out of the womb.

When will you people become human beings and stop being a pack of lowlifes?

Why you deh para na? Don't all all this so call tribal warrior to give you high blood pressure.

Xetima:
I disagree with you sir. With limited resources governments should look at reducing waste. Why would you be talking of free education in a decayed economy? The author asserted that their freebies were being implemented without understanding the economic implications. How many of us leave these free education to put our children in private schools where we pay exorbitant fees? Or are your children attending the public school? Does Aregbesola child attend these school? All these freebies are to hoodwink the masses.

Just because you can afford to send your kids to private school doesn't mean thousands of other can. Free education is not a luxury for any right thinking government, it's a must.

Do you understand the repercussions of thousands of uneducated workforce..... Think Boko Haram. If government refuse to bear the cost now, the should get get ready to bear thrice the cost in future.

We should be broadminded in our reasoning

[s]Is the President trying to do last-minute damage control in the agencies?Perhaps, the President is trying to repair his impaired image/reputation by replacing agency bosses whom he feels are performing below par.Perhaps, Jonathan is trying to be a good sportsman by laying a good foundation for the incoming administration of Muhammadu Buhari[/s]

Number 3 is totally out of it...... I'll go with 1&2

It's not just in the South West.. UBE stipulates free tuition from primary 1 to Jss 3. But that doesn't mean students can't pay little stipends for other lil things..

Omeal and Opon Imo looks good on paper but it's ridiculous in real life.. Even Parents are complaining..

Please do provide link to where parents made complaints. You guys are just finding ways to hang a dog by calling it bad names.

Osasere Orumwense, on April 13, Wike was
awarded 1,029,102 votes, representing 87.77
per cent of 1,228,614, being the conjured
number of total accredited voters.
However, according to a 94-page INEC
endorsed document exclusively obtained by
Premium Times, the total number of accredited
voters for the April 11 guber election in Rivers
state was 292, 878.

Haba! They will never rig with sense.

The free education scheme is more of a political strategy than an educational advancement scheme..

It's neither sustainable nor effective..

I don't know about other regions but in the southwest free education from primary to secondary level have always been part of government policy. What Aregbe did is to introduce Omeal and technology into schools. Personally in my opinion they are good ideas. But in line with the cash crunch that has hit the country, he should temporarily cut cost.

Gwarzo, who did not mention those responsible for the missing money, urged the Labour leaders to investigate the missing link before the expiration of Kwankwaso's tenure.

Nigeria is truly bless with foolish leaders. EFCC should begin their investigation with him.

obayaya:
The brand of free education in osun state is pathetic.. A very flawed model

How's it pathetic?

Chigold101:
well he said before Awo started the free education scheme he had everything worked out, but these governors do not work out things. They just embark on an unplanned journey.

[b]Now consider this: what is the benefit of free education when there is no teacher to teach? If Osun teachers for examples stay home cos of unpaid salary, how will that benefit the pupils?[/b]I think the main thing is for these governors to develop means of increasing their IGR first, before embacking on feeding their citizens.

What's the need of teachers if parents who live with less than one dollar per day can't afford to send their children to school. You guys are talking as though governance is all about payment of salaries.

omenka:
I could convince no less than 50 people to vote for you if you can tell me why I should vote for you in two sentences.

Twaci, I'm waiting for your response too.

Let’s go back to the main issue. I had said it in previous articles that these governors were not voted into power to give excuses. They should simply resign if they can’t do the job and allow people with good ideas and political will to come in.

Endorse! If they are bereft of ideas, they should all resign. No be by force.

Imagine a state like Osun implementing free education when it can’t pay salaries of the teachers in the schools. Imagine what just N1000 per pupil (per term) in public schools will do to Osun State’s revenue and teachers’ salaries? Late Awolowo had the financial implications of his free education programme in the defunct Western Region properly worked out before implementation. These days, these governors just introduce all sorts of free things - free education, free health, free books, free marriage, and the rest of them, without considering the financial implications in the short, medium and long term.

As sensible as this writeup is, this is the part I don't agree with......... Majority of them are beneficiaries of free education so why deny the present generation what they themselves benefit from. They should focus on all other areas to do their cut saving measures.

In his usually uncompromising manner the Oba noted that a majority of those responsible for the feud were also in the audience as they successfully created an industry out of reporting to “Party A” what “Party B” had said about him and vice-versa.This trend, he added, escalated and prolonged the feud between the duo.

This are the kind of people that caused wahala between Jonathan and Obasanjo. Buhari and Ambode should please be careful around them.

Apparently irked by some murmurs from the audience, Akiolu soon threatened to name those he had alluded to in parables before he was immediately calmed down by Fashola, who pinched him and he was later led away from the podium by his police orderly.

Eyan o gbodo fi gbogbo enu soro tan especially as Oba. Oh! So there's no smoke without fire.

Now you can ask me: why did we publish? That advert came on a Sunday, January 18th, and we published it on January 19th. The advert that was eventually published had been watered down considerably. I came back from church, I opened my system and when I saw it I screamed.

Fayose is too much of a tout to be a Governor............ But your defense is not enough for the breach of ethics. You guys are big disgrace to journalism.

According to the Electoral Act 2010, Section 95 (1), ‘A political campaign or slogan shall not be tainted with abusive language directly or indirectly likely to injure religious, ethnic, tribal or sectional feelings.’

Section 95 (2) states that ‘Abusive, intemperate, slanderous or base language or insinuations or innuendoes designed or likely to provoke violent reaction or emotions shall not be employed or used in political campaigns.’

Fayose is very lawless.

BADNEAT:
lolz..no problem in mentioning his name,but GEJ will not be a respondent in court...don't see the court calling him to come defend his role...i[b]f it does it can as well call on dantata to defend his role in empowering dangote who made donations to Jonathan and has been giving money to those in need[/b]..how does that soundlame I guess

I can't see comparison, please expantiate.

FitnessNigeria:
First of all, there was no where in this article that stated how much goodluck gave to help the Ghana guy, and there is no where in this article that stated that the money was used for his (Ghana guy) campaign.

So I would love to know how you arrived at your conclusions that the money was used for campaigns and that the money was more than what the president earns?

Read my previous post...... And relate it to the post I quoted.

francizy:
So you too believe that smelly lies Aregdesola sold to Osun people? Chai! I don die sha...

FG allocation to all states of the federation reduced due to oil price plunge. It didn't affect only those states owing. If you are observant enough, you'd have known or seen that those state governors just used the allocation handed to them for their personal purses and for campaigns.

Osun state allocation was reduced and Ekiti state allocation was reduced too. Mind you, Ekiti and Osun state are almost on par based on FG allocation, there Mr. Aregbesola has no excuse for not paying workers salary.

Everyone that's affected are all guilty, that's is why I said it's unacceptable coming from Aregbe. What does he want the workers to feed on? If not that he performed well in his first term I will have totally rubbish him.

francizy:
Performed better than his predecessor? I think not. Have you forgotten he borrowed money from another state to pay workers all in a bid to campaign for a second term? Why is it said that he wasted billions on his shady Opon imo/ifa projects...?

Please, let's call a spade a spade, Aregbesola is a very terrible governor and Fayose will outperform him by miles.

You will say I told you so. At least Ekiti state is not making headlines for owing salaries.

And we all know why.... Shebi Jonathan played politics with it, he wants to caused disenchantment between the governors and the workers but he failed.

Just help us beg Fayose to start working before he slave the whole time away.

BADNEAT:
I do get your point,but we're working and looking at the available facts..you can't say a man is implicated when there's nothing implicating within the context his name was mentioned...posers: is it wrong for obj to help a man in need financially?No
is it wrong for Goodluck as a person to be of assistance to obj in helping the aforementioned person? No.
is their any law baring a President from meeting his private requirements and obligations to his friends and family as long as such requirements and obligations do not go against the constitution of the federal republic? No....

until further statements and facts or evidence is provided GEJ is as clean as water I'm this dispensation...so for now,u can't come out to say he was implicated, unless there's another tape you've listened to other than the one we have here

No ooooooooooooo! You are missing the point. A woman in charge of Obasanjo foundation was caught on tape admitting to money laundering.... She was caught on tape admitting to job she had laundered on behalf of the foundation.... Names were dropped. If you exclude Jonathan, the case is dead on arrival.

francizy:
But you will still agree with me that he's loved by majority of the Ekiti people right? Compare him with Aregbesola and tell me who should be praised and who should be insulted.

Aregbe performed excellently in his first time...... But so far I'm seriously disappointed in him...... Owing workers six months salary is unacceptable even if Osun is not the only state affected.

But for Fayose, the Governor that has less than 4years to deliver dividends of democracy to his people and has not show sign of getting down to work....... It's a big shame to him
