These people are local govt workers and were protesting over non payment of salaries. Constitutionally, it is the duty of local councils to pay them as the state govt also caters for the salary obligations of its workers. Despite this, the Kwara state government under Gov. Ahmed is making frantic efforts to ensure the problem is resolved. The State govt is proposing to take over funding of Junior secondary education from the Local governments. This will be reduce the financial burden of the LGs.

We should understand that the salary crises is not peculiar to Kwara only, it affects almost every state in the country. Few days ago, local govt workers in Edo State protested over nonpayment of their 17month salaries. In Nassarawa, workers are still on strike and the governor has told them to accept 50 per cent cut in their salaries. In ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Delta, Plateau, Kogi, Niger, Oyo, etc, the salary situation is almost the same.

There is a need for the national and state govts to take measures to revive our economy, else, the salary problems will persist. The sad reality is that no amount of demonstrations or protest by workers will solve the problem. It is time government at all levels think for ways to improve the economy.

This is my humble opinion. You're entitled to yours as well.

Take your sanctimonious thrash and shove it in your posterior. You think you're talking to illiterates here. Do you have any proof to show that those workers are indeed LG workers instead of KWSG workers?

Let me expose your hypocrisy. As at April this year, Ahmed was owing 3 months salaries. It is in this link.

You can't fool all the people all of the time.

U jst shot urslf in d leg.....and d paramont traditional ruler gambari is midle named sijuade bah? Or adewunmi abi adeola....go sleep nd wake....only offa/ erin ile nd few towns stil maintains yoruba identity in kwara...its baseless to argue...kwara cnt boast to be yorubas

I schooled with the grandson of the late Oba of Lagos, the present Emir of Ilorin, the son of the Oba of Efon Alaaye and other royals. We all spoke Yoruba when we were not speaking English. The Gambari guy couldn't speak a complete sentence in Hausa or Fulani even to the Hausa and Fulani guys in school.

I think this goes to show who is what.

Nwogeh:
It is only in yoruba land that we see something like Emir of Ilorin instead of oba.....I don't think Afonja is resting in peace for such enslavement.

I think the same thing is happening in Anambra with Obiano paying for the cows killed by his illiterate constituents, Ugwuanyi of Enugu fasting for the Fulani and Dave Umahi of Ebonyi begging them to stay.

obainosis4real:
see who is talking and u tink is easy 2 prostitute? Hell No! Some people we never grow cus dey get jelous and envious at every bit of som1's success.... Pls don't die ooo cus d woman will keep excelling and u will b here ranting.

Learn how 2 c gud thing in people so dat u can grow bro....

You're in Lagos hawking as expected. Your role model in the village is a disgraced prostitute. You're asking me if it is easy to prostitute, I don't know that. You can as well ask the women in your family.

Mind you, my sister became a qualified lawyer at 22 years. That is something no one in your lineage can ever achieve as the guys are hawking goods and the women are hawking their bodies.

Dumbass poverty-stricken Afikpo slave, whenever you're ready to make progress in your life, hit me up and I'll take that gala off your head and send you back to Nursery 1.

Better join the Ebonyians who are ready to make progress and leave ur mediocre lineage behind.

obainosis4real:
guy keep shut. Do u knw that this woman was made b4 being d H.member, she had hummer jeeps when it was on board atlist she was d first woman 2 buy such ride and even bought cars for almost 20youths and empowered them on merit, she helps d widows alot and less previlaged women generally.... Pls u don't make uterance cus they free just guide ur statements

You are a very ignorant person. Who do you think she was before? A nonentity flashes chicken change at you and the inherent poverty in you makes u shiver.

FYI, this same woman was imprisoned in the US for prostitution in 2001. After servicing her sentence, she was deported to Nigeria in 2005. Shame didn't allow her to stay in Lagos she moved to Ebonyi.

She's an hypocrite who usually lambasted Igbos for buying land outside Alaigbo but when she wanted to buy land, she bought in Abuja.

Collect your 2kobo poverty alleviation package and keep shut. Don't disturb us here.

Looks to me like the funeral service of Ikpeazu's political career.

Most of those castigating the government for this move are the same people who cheered the NDA terrorists on while they were destroying their future.

People should learn to live with the consequences of their actions.

Thanks bro

Did the one-day governor authorise police to flush out militants in Ikorodu
Ambode has spoilt the tradition in his time as executive governor. In the past, Tinubu and Fashola did the needful.
In fact, at some point, an Igbo child was the Governor (one day sha) of the State of Lagos
Is Ambode saying he can not host these wonderful children and pose with them in photos
Ambode sef

Can you name one STate that the PDP was able to do the above throughout the 16 years that it was in power.

JESUSBOIY:
Seun is not married yet .


You want to give him your sister ?

I don't have a sister. My sister is late.

When will they show pictures of Seun's wife?

OP, this is a 13-year old car with a defective engine. I think u should consider some of the reasonable offers here. The buyer is still going to change these things below.

Tokunbo engine - 150k
Body work n baking - 60k
Replacement of broken parts (like the drivers side interior door handle) - 20k
Oil change - 10-12k
Workmanship - 20k

Total: 262K

** This is not inclusive of the other things that would be fixed once a mechanic inspects.

OP, you have 3 options,

Fix it yourself and sell for 700k and above

Sell it for 400k and let whoever is willing to buy it go and fix it.

Hold on to it for sometime till a willing buyer comes along.

TonyeBarcanista:
Those economic saboteurs are part of the problem. This so called threat is nothing but theatric my guy.

They CANT even attack a LG Chairman not to talk of a Governor. SMH...

As for Dickson, he is only being a dickhead

When GEJ was announced as the VP nominee under Yar'Adua, he was the sitting governor and his house was bombed with his certificates burnt. Uniport had to replace them for him.

These leaders sowed the wind. Now, they're reaping the whirlwind.

A well publicised class-action suit as well as an injunction over the construction of that property and others by Lekki Gardens could have fetched those guys nothing less than 5M each in out of Court settlement.

A tricycle and 50k. Na fuel them go use that 50k buy.

waternogetenemy:
Nobody called anybody names that they were not called first.

The Yoruba presidency is only possible due to the zoning arrangement of PDP.

We know wat happened to that arrangement under OBJ.

Buhari is only president due to Boko Haram.

From wat I can see, the North have no plan to ever give up that presidency at any cost.

Buhari is certainly planning to hand over to another Northerner.

If that happen, CIA prediction will surely happen. SS/SE have already started a resistance movement. IPOB and NDA.

They haven't done anything and the country is already falling, imagine wen they commence full hostility, gorilla warfare, hit and run?

Nigeria Army cannot secure every target and secure themselves. Human Right laws and ICC. Nigeria cannot cope with Boko Haram, Militant and Biafra.

Hilary Clinton is a woman, she will call referendum and it is over.Nigeria has a history of referendum and yes Nigeria is negotiable.

US are not dying for our oil, as was the case in 1960s.

The SS has produced a President, the SE hasn't produced a President. They are different regions with different leaders and different leadership positions.

You're talking of "gorilla" warfare when you can't feed yourselves. You don't know the dynamics of war. What if the North withholds food and sends poisoned food instead, that would be the end of the war. You really don't know anything about alternative warfare.

Once the SS Militants have been settled, the SS agitation comes to an end and everyone goes home. Unfortunately for the SE, the ipob protests of a couple of months ago didn't disturb anyone or anywhere just the SE states.

Politics is not about making unnecessary enemies, it's about building bridges. When Ojukwu contested under the APGA, how many votes did the entire SE give to him? Reach out to other regions for them to vote for your candidates, No! You prefer to insult them and expect them to vote your candidates.

waternogetenemy:
Do Hausa and Yoruba want Nigeria or Oduduwa and Arewa? Do they want to live and share nationality with SS/SE?

Ojukwu answered that question after the Civil War.

The Yorubas have taken their political destiny into their hands and between 1999-2016, they have produced a President, A Vice President and a Speaker of the HOR.

The Arewas have taken their political destiny into their hands and have produced 2 Presidents, A VIce President, a Senate President and a Speaker of the HOR

The Igbos don't know what to do and all they have had is a Senate President and and a Deputy Senate President. That should tell you that politically, you're not getting it right.

Look at the nonsense Iwuanyanwu and Nwobodo are doing? They've already jumped into the APC. Rocha's is the most senior political prospect of the SE with national acceptance, but he's hated in the SE. Obiano is alone in the wilderness. The Saw needs to get a central rallying force and everything would fall into place.

Politics is a game of numbers, you can't call people born-throway And turn around to beg them to vote for you.

I have met and had several transactions in which OmonileLawyer was involved. He was very professional and paid and extreme attention to details.

He represents buyers of both lands and houses as some parts of his articles here on Nairaland address buyers of houses also.

However, you must be very patient as he pays attention to the tiniest detail. Na the koko be that.

waternogetenemy:
We need at least three major political parties in Nigeria. At present we have two thanks to Obama intervention.

Each of this political parties should field candidates from one section of the country. Credible candidates.

PHD minimum qualification from a credible institution and relevant to the position.

If it is South west, then all the candidates must be from the south west.

This will eliminate the problem of tribalism. It will force us to focus on policy.

It will eliminate marginalisation and unify the country. Disunity is caused by discrimination.

We can wait for it to rotate.

Let's start from the basics. Do the Igbos want Biafra or Presidency?

When I first read the report, I was unhappy that someone like Babachir Lawal the SGF could do something like this. However, upon deeper introspection, it occurred to me that the only way for minority ethnic groups to get a sense of belonging was to get the recruitment done on LG basis. This must have been the sentiment of the SGF as he's from a minority ethnic group in the North.

This is because if it's done on state basis, one politician from the dominant ethnic group or tribe could hijack the slots and fill it with members of his ethnic group. However, as it is on LG basis, every single ethnic group with an LG is assured of representation in the police.

What I think should be done is that there should be a balance between protecting the interest of the minority ethnic groups and having over-concentration of a particular tribe.

As for those Senators, it's an open secret that their northern counterparts are more politically savvy than the southern senators.

OP, keep her in your house very well you hear? Wetin dey worry u sef?
E dey do me like say make I use slap jump-start ur brain.

The day her sisters advise her to kill you, you are a dead man. Rat poison is very cheap, 3 for N50. You'll just start getting dry and die behind the fridge. Alternatively, when she disconnects the brake of your car and you dance under Dangote trailer, we'll read it here on NL.

By the way, tell your wife's sister's husbands o what their wives are up to. At least if you guys want to buy your coffins in bulk, it should be cheaper.

Even if you don't value your life, pity your mother and daughter and kick out that devil even if it's a temporary separation.

Flee from temptation... and don't leave a forwarding address.

So, the entire 19 Northern States are Educationally Less Privileged States.

Kaduna alone has ABU Zaria, Kaduna State University, Nuhu Bamali Poly, KadPoly, NTI, NMS, NDA and other institutions. Yet, it's educationally less privileged.

omenpetrol:
I have been privilege to work with some Nigerian banks and essentially they fall into 2 major categories. 1; Wise and Non-Complacent and 2; Unwise and Complacent.

1. Wise and Non-Complacent. The are banks that got it right from the onset or who have failed and learnt their lessons. E.g GTBank, Access and Wema, Union etc.

2. Unwise and Complacent. These are reckless banks who are still dwelling on past glory. They have gone through troubled time and have not learnt their lessons e.g Firstbank, Heritage, Ecobank etc.

Be wise with your deposits. Wonder why First Bank introduce so many Illegal charges? It might just be the next to go burst. Thank me later.

First Bank is in serious financial troubles. They have some really bad dollar loans which they gave out to players in the Energy industry. Unfortunately, the fall in oil prices and rise of the dollar has made the borrowers unable to repay the loans.

IamPatriotic:
You are right, but the old man's house ( i won't call it shanty) is not enough to stop the Governor from building on the land, did you think about the security risk of having a shanty too close to the Governor's resident?

The Governor came close to the shanty, the shanty did not come close to the Governor. The Governor should have made provisions for resettling those in the shanties. By the way, it's Udom's private house and not an official structure.

IamPatriotic:
The truth has to be said, the structure which was a shanty should not be that close to the Governor's private resident[center][/center] but the Governor should please look into the plight of the octogenarian

The governor should have thought of that before building as he met the man's house there. He should help the old man ASAP. If that man dies of old age now, everyone would blame Udom. An hotel accommodation for 90 days is not bad pending when the place is rebuilt.

kayfis:
As well as I dislike stealing from government (using position to steal money). What the present government is doing now is pure witch-hunting........ As far as I can see things, the judiciary is being bias.

Did Omisore steal or not? The case hasn't gotten to the judiciary, it's still at the prosecutorial stage. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Nkem4040:
The owner of the account and company is a typical yoruba man...catch him red handed, he will start acting holy holy, and writing his yoruba Uncle Osinbajo. How can 215 million be transfered into your account like that? Whoever transfered it must know you, notified you of it and must be depending on you to withdraw it otherwise it's useless. He should be sent to Kirikiri and he will confessed.

There is no point exposing your primordial sentiments on issues like this. The account was opened in the name of his company, but he isn't a signatory to it. Something like opening an account in the name of Forte Oil, but the signatories are some fraudsters using the name of the company. It's a bit similar to what Oduah did.

Zenith Bank: We "beg" to differ.
GTB: It's not by force to bank with us.

DIKEnaWAR:
Now fighting corruption has taken a new form. I am sure the Speaker and his people are not in Ortom's good books, else he wouldn't say this. They might even be PDP members! Hypocrisy and thievery in high places. The EFCC should just do a thorough job of cleaning the Augen stable in Benue government house; from Geroge Akume's time till now.


Please, when is Buratai, the saver-in-chief, appearing before the EFCC?

Dike, you better face ur masquerade business and leave politics for politicians. All of them are APC members o!

Meanwhile, why are you looking for Buratai. You want to open a savings account?

Mrpoker:
Just shut your filth* mouth up!
I hate it when the ignorant ones are quoting me to spew trash.
Your level of literacy has been noted cause you don't even know what I meant by HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

You ignorant twerp, what concerns House of Assembly in this matter? Instead of expressing yourself coherently, you're having grammatical epilepsy. Kindly keep your bad manners within the confines of your family house.

Assuming we already had State Police operating in Abia, how easy would it have been for Ikpeazu to be removed and Ogeah sworn in?
