Pls don't be deceived by these pictures, there were all started during is first term as executive governor. All these projects are now abandoned till now. I resides in Osogbo where most of these ongoing wrks re. Aregbesola have wrecked the future of osun state.

Even if you will be negative, do so with some reasonable gusto and not some show of senseless bile. Why not do us a favour. Post the pictures of these projects in the alleged current abandoned state

FYI: I am from Osun too

tico1212:
OP na lia Mohammed younger brother those are not new projects, he commissioned them 2 years ago. Y u dey lie??

That is how some of you display comprehension deficit. The topic says "Re: Aregbeshola: Projects And Project Inspections..pictures ". Did the OP tell you he is posting new pictures only?

wristbangle:
Woow. Commendable. Aregbesola is now working against all odds. Kudos.

Lalasticlala, I think this deserves to grace FP

Please review your statement and remove the "now". He has been working against all odds from Day 1 of his government. He just faced setbacks as with anybody sailing against the wind of faulty precedence.

It is simply because it is sincere and determined

Bukybabe:
I think Ajimobi is so insensitive..okay let's say there are ghost workers..is there no way he could flush them out.Someone just said because two lecturers have the same name he sacked them.I don't think that makes any sense.
He said some people have BVN issues..can't you tell them to submit their BVN number instead telling them to Stay at home till July and he hasn't even paid them 6 months salary and for Christ sake his children are busy spending the money and sharing pictures online.Is this fair?Ajimobi has always been like this from way back when he was working in National oil...very heartless and he doesn't listen to anyone.
Is Oyo state not stinking?people are even scared to protest because they might end up being shot.

Insensitivity and facts are two different things in this scenario. If you really look at the criteria again, you will have to realistically agree that whoever falls into this category must have a question to answer...
1. Employee who have BVN issues - The CBN sensitized the whole nation for 1yr and extended it for another 6months. If anybody has a BVN issue, then legally that account is deactivated. Pray tell how do you expect the state government to pay into an inactive account?
2. Employee who collects two or more salaries - If this is established, then these categories should have been arrested by now
3. Ghost workers - Same as two above, especially if the recipient of the salaries can be found
4. Service Age outdated -OK, if by my understanding, these are "football-age" Daddies and Mummies, then should we encourage what it utterly bad?

So from the above the first issue is that there is a problem to be solved in the workforce. Just like madam modath raised above, these are hydra-headed monster. A lot have hidden under the canopy of civil service, when other industries are practically comatose. The bubble has to bust one day, and in busting some people will unfortunately be affected

When jonathan and his boys were busy stealling Nigeria's money, then it wasn't a crime to Buhari came in, termed it coruption and made it a Focus point.

So also willl God bring in an administration that will deal with tyrants that hate hurman rights and freedom.

When Jonathan got into office, the first thing was to fire AONDOAKA the then minister of Justice.

So its just a matter of time.

Madam,

Jonathan was lilly livered on Andoaka issue. He didn't fire him outrightly, he only moved him to another ministry. He was supposed to outrightly sack him from his government, especially when Andoaka had the effontery to say "There is no vacancy in Aso Rock", in reference to the clamour of Nigerians that GEJ be sworn in as acting president

That said, is it not God's judgement being meted out on people calling to arms, inciting hate and calling a God made country a zoo?

THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH CONSTRUCTION FROM BRIDGE TO CENTURY WHICH TOOK ANOTHER 2 YEARS ..

SO YES I MAKE BOLD TO SAY THAT THEY BUILT THE ROAD IN TEN YEARS AND 8 OUT OF THAT TEN YRS STALLED DUE TO SLOW PACE OF GOVT WORK...

U DNT CLAP FOR A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO IS JUST LEARNING HOW TO WALK.. WHEN HIS MATES ARE IN SCHOOL. RUNNING...

FINE THANKS AMBO FOR THE ROAD .. BUTS THATS BECOS WE SEPNT COUNTLESS HOURS PETITIONING THE LAGOS STATE GOVT AND CALLING RADIO STATIONS ON THE PLIGHT OF AGO CITIZENS .. SO AM SURE NOT GOING TO THANK THEM NOW FOR DOING THEIR JOBS THAT LONG OVERDUE...

At time it is useless conversing with someone as irrational like you. But for all it's worth, you're better off finding out things you are unaware of

The governor, in defence, at­tributed the delay to some unre­solved legal issues with some af­fected landowners. He reminded residents that his administration embarked on the project with­out any pressure from anyone or group but ran into difficulties as people did not want to give up their property for the required road expansion.

According to him, "they want­ed a road but nobody wanted it to pass through his house. So who is going to sacrifice for the public? There were court cases, but even the almost four kilometres has been completed.
http://www.authorityngr.com/2015/11/The-politics-of-Ago-Palace-Way-or-unending-technical-hitches-.html/

Active work had been going on since 2012
https://www.nairaland.com/1025985/ago-okota-palace-way-road-construction-lasg

Residents criticised the construction firm for its slow pace of work, which made the first phase last longer than expected. Though, government attributed the delay to some unresolved legal tussle between some affected landowners and the government.

Some of you are irredeemable......

1. The only thing that delayed the road was that residents took the government to court, since the expansion was going to hit into their property, and government based on overriding public interest needed to demolish part of their properties. Even when people clamoured that the continue, Fashola pointed out that they were hampered by an extant court injunction.......
2. If this were somewhere else, you'll have been hearing stuffs like Governor XYZ overwhelming XX state with projects. Ambode have built/rehabilitated 600km of roads. This is just one of it.

allycat:
I am interested in hearing Osibanjos speach at the commision in bearing in mind that he said Jonathan did not build any new roads. Isn't it interesting that he now sees commisioning an old road that was rebuilt/refurbished as a huge accomplishment worthy of the President or vice.

Did GEJ build any new road?

Ajibel:
Are you folks aware that it is not only Innoson that assembles car in Nigeria.

There are some assembling plants situated in Lagos and it'll make more economic sense for the LASG to patronise those ones.

Example Ford is assembled in Lagos backed by Coscharis.

For those supporting Ben Bruce, please upload a picture of your own Innoson car. Thanks.

The Anambra state govt launched some cars some months ago, not a single IVM car was in the picture.

A lot of people talk in ignorance and some just show bigotry. Lagos State government patronise Proforce. Proforce specialises in enhancing security and producing bullet proof or armoured vehicles. It is owned by Nigeria, an Ogun State indigene. Lagosians do not make an issue why they are buying from an Ogun State indigene.

Lagos State government have a partnership with Coscharis and Ford, to develop local content in motor vehicle skill development and assembly. These folks are not looking in that direction. It is always about deep-sited hatred with these folks

seunmsg:

sapiosexual1: Ironically the jigsaw fits when you consider the recent historical hatred Lagos has developed for the Easterns. From fashola's deportation to the Oba's reckless talk. Ambo wouldn't want to incur the wrath of his political ancestors by doing direct business with Igbos and pumping a potential N1b into the Easter region's economy

And the Easterners love the Yoruba people of Lagos right? You guys should quit this emotional hypocrisy. The governor has a reason for buying those cars from foreign manufacturers. Ben Bruce and tribalist like you doesn't need to paint the governors action in ethnic colouration in other to make your point of promoting made in Nigeria cars.

Besides, when will Ben Bruce start tweeting about the unpaid Bayelsa workers? His home state is on fire and he's busy talking about another state that is doing very well.

Is it not ironical that Ben Bruce has comment on Ambode who's made about the largest single donation of vehicles and security gadgets to the police force? While Seriake Dickson, governor of his home state, apart from battling mamoth of problems (Workers salary, volatile security and all) has not made a single donation of bicycle to the police in the last 1year

Basic comprehension eludes you, yet you bask in the euphoria of fantasy-based intellectual prowess. Simple consistency and logic you could not maintain on a simple and short forum post, yet you pose like Albert E.

REMINDER: The article was not about PDP but about APC doing the very things folks like (you and) that "faceless person" gleefully reffer to as "unpatriotism" today. How come this stuff is too darn hard for you to comprehend?

Okay let's try again.

Please go back and re-read Tonye's assertions. But this time you have to do it very slooowly.

Now I've had it with you,........ I don't need to go back to see anything through your intellectually bereft lens. If you'd bothered to be anything but incomprehensible, you should have noted that I have comprehensively engaged the OP on my tots and position.

Meanwhile, unlike you, I do not need to read sloooooowly to comprehend. Unlike you, I am not slooooowwww.......
Cheers

pchukwudi:
Mr. intellctual, I guess you read your own inuendos INTO the article as opposed to READING the article and comprehending its logic. Probably you should go back and do the proper reading now, Mr. Plato abi Aristortle.

And talking about premises, please remind us again how you APC e-hustlers defined unpatriotism before sticking the label to anything that ever opposed PMB.

Please do not fail to do this, Mr. Intellectual.

I believe engaging you is for comic relief rather than anything intellectual. As much as you struggle to.....your are simply a non-starter.

Well for your education, you will understand that the onus is rather on the OP to set the frame of his representation or meaning of Patriotism rather than leaving it in space...........

Secondly, the OP came with a premise of his discussion with someone in Computer village......... When then has the competence or otherwise of the faceless person in question be a representative of APC? But let me tell you what I believe is my position. I am not even requesting for "patriotism" from the oppposition. What I would rather prefer is qualitative, intellectually stimulating and true nation building opposition. Is PDP offering this? Hell no. What PDP is rather offering is the kind of opposition that turn logic on its head (Fayose), Corruption fighting back (All those currently facing investigation and procecution), and hypocritically laced comments (common sense senator).

Trust me, we don't need PDP to be patriotic. We need them to do their job as credible opposition or gerrout of the stage.........

dedons:
This APC government sef.

They are talking about rebranding the transport sector but nobody is talking about getting rid of the TOUTS who extort money from commercial drivers on the roads of LAGOS.

The rebranding is expected to take care of that. In a well organised transport sector, the "touts" can be well engaged in organised activites ranging from ticketing, maintenance artisans, Park wardens etc

soulpeppersoup:
How many of those AC BRT buses still have AC? That is a scam by government to steal. Until we get our maintance culture in place there are things we should not celebrate.

Bros,

I think it is honourable to type what you know and not the other way round. There is no single one of the new BRT buses operated by Primero that is without AC in almost 1year of introduction. Besides there is signed agreement with LSG on the mimimum standard on the buses that should be maintained or they get kicked out of the franchise. Have you asked those who ply the blue buses from Ikorodu to CMS?

Maintenance culture issue here is now private sector driven, the onus and incentives is on the private sector to maintain those vehicle to standard or get kicked out of the scheme.

6. Gen Buhari's Conflicting Positions
26 Feb 2015: "No Amnesty For BH"
While the rest of Nigeria and the North East residents and citizens celebrates the success of the Army, Gen Buhari was somewhere in Chatham house talking about amnesty and no amnesty. In his own word...

“I think I will not go to that office with that promise. I have said in my address how, at least 13,000 Nigerians have been killed by Boko Haram, how millions of them have been displaced and are now kept in different camps called Internally Displaced Persons camps.

“Schools have been burnt, there is so much disruption to normal life; people cannot farm and where they are able to farm, they cannot harvest. So, granting amnesty to Boko Haram will be unfair to the system.”
www.nigerianeye.com/2015/02/no-amnesty-for-boko-haram-members-buhari.html?m=1ko

Meanwhile, he said nothing when FG proscribed BH and officially labelled it Terrorist Group in 2013. He said Nothing when the USA and UK followed suit. No one heard his support for the State of Emergency in 2013.  

It is on record that the only action against BH that Buhari supported was when Jonathan setup a committee to look into the prospect of granting the terrorists amnesty IF they come out from their hiding. 
In the words of Buhari in April, 2013

“It is good that they have set up a committee on amnesty. I have not seen the terms of reference, but it is a right step in a right direction. “This is not the first time amnesty would be given to a violent group. You remember it happened in the time of Yar’Adua when he gave amnesty to militants, but whatever would bring us peace as a society, we should do it,”
http://thenationonlineng.net/new/buhari-backs-amnesty-for-boko-haram/

In fact, in June 2013, he further advocated that BH be given the same Amnesty that was given to ND Militants and he condemned the killing, and burning of properties of members of the insurgents by the army. 

“You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua sent an airplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north are being killed and their houses demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice.”
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-military-offensive-against-boko-haram-anti-north/149256/

Today, Gen Buhari only remembered to kick against Amnesty when the Military is on the verge of wiping out BH once and for all from our territory.

PS: The President went back to his word to grant the terrorists amnesty

Say that to the gullible minded. There are clearly different scenarios here which required different approaches.

1. Amnesty was a strategy that was time bound. Yar' Adua offered Amnesty to the ND terrorists......it did save lives and needless wars. GEJ did not consider Amnesty for BH, when opportuned to do so, which probably would have prevented the level of kiilings that took place if they had taken it.......
2. Fast for wad when BH was now well funded by external forces suspected to be ISIS and the likes, offering them Amnesty at that stage would have been irrelevant as they odds in their favour, they were well armed and were constantly replenished. Cash and other insentive they got, so the logical thing to do is to defeat them in combat.

5. Military Successes Over Boko Haram

25Feb, 2015: APC Senators Praise Jonathan, Military
Senator Maina Lawan(APC Borno) led the praise

"It is only fair Mr. President that this time around, when there is some cheering news, I should mention this to this Senate. I want to say that several territories hitherto inaccessible to Nigerian authorities have been liberated; Mongno which is a high military zone housing a whole brigade of the Nigerian Army has been liberated. Baga my home town has been liberated; the effort is ongoing and I think it is only fair that no matter what is left, it is important that we appreciate what is being done and I want to say that our troops are much more up and doing and we appreciate that effort. We ask them to do more so that in the areas they have liberated, mopping up is concluded for the communities to go back.”

Senators Buka Abba Ibrahim(APC, Yobe) and Ali Ndume Borno chorused the praise.

Motion was led by Hon. Muhammad Tahir Monguno (APC, Borno), and seconded by Hon. Abubakar Momoh (SDP, Edo)  
“Almost all the local governments taken over by Boko Haram have now been liberated, so the armed forces require some encouragement from us in the parliament,”

24 Feb 2015: APC Blasted Jonathan Again
Rather than praise the President and The Army(like others were doing), the APC that has never hidden their stand against the use of force by the Army suddenly did a U-turn to praise the Army(hypocritically) but again lambasted the President, and went political. In the words of Lai Muhammed:

”Is it not curious that the same President who has stood by while Boko Haram decimates a whole section of the country over the past six years has suddenly realized there is something he could do to crush the sect in six weeks? Is it not curious that a military that has been globally acknowledged for its successes in peacekeeping at regional and international levels has suddenly found itself unable to tackle a band of criminals? Is it not curious that the necessary fighting equipment that have not been made available to the military, despite the injection of over 32 billion US dollars into the defence and security sector since 2008, have suddenly become available? President Jonathan, who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, must take responsibility for the monumental cost, whether of his incompetence or his political strategy-gone-awry or both, apologize to the nation and immediately back down from seeking re-election. The President must not be allowed to profit from an error of judgement that has cost 15,000 lives, forced over 3 million out of
their homes and cost the taxpayers 32.88 billion US dollars,” APC said.

http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/02/24/boko-haram-apc-slams-jonathan-for-acting-too-late-praises-military/

I like your sly approach to place facts in wrong context........ Here you want to smartly cover GEJ's biggest gaffe. Bros, We all know that GEJ wanted to do in 6weeks what he failed to do in 4years. This was at the time when he postponed election, obviously when he saw imminent defeat staring him in the face. Those senators could speak for themselves, but that is not the position of the party

A Home Office spokesman said: "The Home Secretary today laid an Order that, if approved by Parliament, will proscribe both Boko Haram and Minbar Ansar Deen from Friday 12 July. This will make membership of, and support for, these organisations a criminal offence.

"The government is determined to work with the international community to tackle terrorism and take the steps necessary to keep the UK public safe. Proscription of these groups sends a clear message that we condemn their activities."

The United states department of state announced the designation Wednesday, citing section 219 of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, and as Specially Designated Global Terrorists under section 1(b) of Executive Order
13224.
The statement added: “All of our assistance to Nigeria stresses the importance of protecting civilians and ensuring that human rights are respected. That assistance and these designations demonstrate U.S. support for the Nigerian people’s fight against Boko Haram and Ansaru.” 
They also listed BH as Foreign Terrorist Organisation.

Justice Minister Adoke told reporters in Abuja that the US stance is a welcome development and saluted Washington for partnering with Nigeria to stamp out terrorism.
“This step will assist this nation to deal with these renegades. It will also help in strengthening the proscription of Boko Haram by the federal government,” he said
icirnigeria.org/fg-hails-us-designation-of-boko-haram-ansaru-as-terrorists/

ACN/CPC/APC Never  commended the move by the United States and the United Kingdom by declaring Boko Haram a Terrorist Group.

Why will APC need to commend the move by US and UK when it had already established her position on Boko Haram

let us be clear that we do not condone the activities of these sects that have killed and maimed innocent Nigerians and turned a section of the country into a battle field. “Terrorism in all its ramifications is condemnable, and no responsible government will allow any group, no matter its name, grievances or ideology, to carry out terrorist acts unchecked.

3. Prosciption And Declaration of Boko Haram As Terrorist Group
June 04,2013: Jonathan Declares and  Proscribes Boko Haram, Ansaru as Terrorist Groups

According to the Presidency, 
“It officially brings the activities of both groups within the purview of the Terrorism Prevention Act and any persons associated with the two groups can now be legally prosecuted and sentenced to penalties specified in the Act,” the statement said.

“The proscription order warns the general public that any person participating in any form of activities involving or concerning the collective intentions of the said groups will be violating the provisions of the Terrorism Prevention Act

Section 5 (1) of the act prescribes a term of imprisonment of not less than 20 years for any person who knowingly, in any manner, directly  or indirectly, solicits or renders support for the commission of an act of terrorism or to a terrorist group.

June 05, 2013: Senate, Reps Backs Move

Senate Spokesman, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe: 
“the senate supports the proscription of Boko Haram. It should have been done long ago. But it’s a welcome development.”

Hon Abiodun Faleke of Reps said: 
”I agree with the proscription. We are already in war with the group. I only hope that the same will apply to Niger Delta militants and all amnesty will be stopped."

June 09, 2013: Proscribing Boko Haram, Ansaru wrong, Violates Constitution says ACN/APC

Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has said that the recent proscription order against Boko Haram and Ansaru, desirable as it may be in tackling the terrorist organisations, violates the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by stifling the press and tampering with the fundamental human rights of Nigerians

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/proscribing-boko-haram-ansaru-wrong-says-acn/

Did you read the link you posted or you're trying to be sneeky

A statement in Ila-Orangun, yesterday, by ACN’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the order also makes it easy for an increasingly intolerant government to clamp down on the opposition, which its sees more as an irritant . In the alternative, ACN called on the Federal Government to clarify the knotty and vague areas of the open-ended order, that may end up punishing journalists and infringing on the civil liberties of the citizens more than it will curtail activities of the sects. The party said: [b]‘’Against the background of insinuations in government circles, let us be clear that we do not condone the activities of these sects that have killed and maimed innocent Nigerians and turned a section of the country into a battle field. “Terrorism in all its ramifications is condemnable, and no responsible government will allow any group, no matter its name, grievances or ideology, to carry out terrorist acts unchecked. “But we believe that whatever action government takes— even in an emergency— must pass the constitutional test, especially since the relevant sections of the Constitution have not been suspended.” It said the offensive section of the order is Section 5 (1), which prescribes a term of imprisonment of not less than 20 years ‘’for any person who knowingly, in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicits or renders support for the commission of an act of terrorism or to a terrorist group.” ACN said “support,” as defined by the order, includes “incitement to commit a terrorist act through the Internet, or any electronic means or through the use of printed materials or through the dissemination of terrorist information. “Is this subsection not in conflict with Chapter II Section 22 of the Nigeria Constitution which says ‘The press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media, shall at all times be free to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this chapter and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people?’ “By stifling the press, is the order not abridging a part of the fundamental human rights guaranteed every citizen under Chapter Four of the Nigerian Constitution in Section 39 (1), which states thus: ‘Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference?’”[/b]
