Why we can’t tax Osun people, by Aregbesola

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola at the weekend explained why his administration has refused to tax the people.

Aregbesola said his people are very poor and tax would be an unnecessary burden on them.

He spoke at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Osogbo, the state capital, during a dinner with representatives of various financial institutions.

The dinner was part of activities marking the one year anniversary of the Aregbesola administration in office.

The governor urged the institutions to assist in eradicating poverty in the state, assuring them of security and a business friendly environment.

He solicited for funds to finance capital projects and programmes that would improve the state’s economy.

Aregbesola said: “I am in Osun State to eradicate poverty. If you are talking about Unclad poverty, it is here in the state. We can not tax anybody here because we do not want them to die.

“Are we going to tax people waiting to die? We were able to save 13 million in the last year, not through tax, but by blocking leakages in the system. So you bankers have no choice than to help us deliver good governance to the people. We need your support to eradicate poverty.

“I am amused about the uninformed comments of our predecessor in office about the finances of the state. They are confused and cannot comprehend what we are doing because they are not financially literate.

“We have the vision, passion and action. I am here to change the fate of the black man through the various programmes and projects of our unusual and unconventional government.

“My predecessor left the state’s account in a bad state. We met a suffocating loan of N18.3 billion, which the Olagunsoye Oyinlola administration secured in an unprofessional manner.

“But within a year in office, my administration was able to increase the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state from N300 million to N600 million and pay the loan through the access of N25 million bond from the bank, with the monthly servicing of less than N100 million, instead of the N800 million used to service the former loan.”

The governor said his administration does not wait for the federal allocation before it pays its workers, adding that any state waiting for it is doomed.

He said states rejected the October allocation because of President Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to deduct some amount from it for the creation of Sovereign Wealth.

Aregbesola said nobody has the right to deduct from any state’s allocation without the governor’s consent.

He advised state governments to exploit other avenues for generating revenue.

Commissioner for Finance, Economic Planning and Budgeting, Dr. wale Bolorunduro said the government plans to increase the IGR to N1 billion next year.

On incessant bank robberies in the state, Bolorunduro said the government has collaborated with security agencies to forestall a recurrence. He said the governor has ordered for five Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and established a security trust fund to combat the menace.

Many of the bank executives acknowledged the governor’s passion for development and promised to support his administration.

They include: Ayo Abina, Skye Bank; Elias Akenzua, Zenith Bank; Akinleye Ogunleye, Diamond Bank; and Boyin Oladokun, Unity Bank.

Can u plsss . . . support your Yoruba-Yoruba domintion in Aso-rock claims with some proofs/illustrations?
OBJ a SWner gave SS 13%, why is GEJ not increasing it if his pple truly deserves more? instead he zoning capital projects to his pple outrightly. Was that how OBJ ruled us or is that suppose to be the case if GEJ and his pple feel cheated?
Except for Ondo, you don't produce the oil that keeps Nigeria running. Those who do get 13% and more. Why do you have a problem with that?

Only kids bask in past glory when such glory contradicts the present. As of today, the Yoruba are nothing in Nigeria compared to the Igbos. OPC head man has correctly acknowledged that, hence the lamentations.

''I get am before'' no be property.

Tinubu the rogue bamboozled them into ACN (his family party) and a whopping 30 million people followed one man like mumu. Now they are crying like orphans.

Even Ijaws have done more.

Which Yoruba, Obasanjo? I dey laff ohh
PoliticsRe: From Yoruba Marginalisation To Oduduwa Nation by Nchara: 6:55pm On Dec 21, 2011
Abiola, the darling of the Yoruba, was denied his winning and murdered in cold blood; Yorubas scampered into Cotonou and UK.
Instead of a typical Yoruba, Obasanjo, the hated Yoruba (hated for not playing the Yoruba tribalistic game) was handed the glory by Igbos and the North.

Yoruba lost, plain and simple.

They know Igbos are always good at subordinates otherwise called boy-boy

Like Azikwe was a boyboy to Balewa, Ekwueme was a Boy boy to Shagari, Okadigbo , Soludo Sylvester Ugo, Ben Obi

Its in the genetic make up of Igbos to be houseboys

They would never get the Presidency

Ijaws that are less than 5m in Population got Presidency, Igbos that own 98% of lagos, 95% of Abuja, 99% of New york are best considered for Deputy this, Vice this, Assistant that

And if you try to complain? Benjamin Adekunle is waiting
Hhahah! To begin with, Yoruba has not ruled Nigeria. Obasanjo may have a Yoruba blood (I even hear say na Igbo man born am) but he is not a Yoruba greedy bigot with the famed Yoruba agenda, was not nominated by Yoruba, was not voted for by Yoruba, does not have a Yoruba agenda. Let's see a Yoruba rule Nigeria. The Yoruba candidate, Olu Falae was roundly defeated.

Igbos complained in the 60s, Yorubas are complaining now. Now not yesterday, is the koko of the matter.. Although devoid of a Yoruba agenda, Obasanjo is the last SWner that would rule Nigeria [b]until [/b]an Igbo has done. So keep crying until we have taken our turn. Otherwise, start the secession and get crushed. Fulani is waiting in Ilorin to disembowel you. Hhahahah!

Again the question:

What would Awo have been thinking now were he alive to see his people dreaming (yes dreaming) to leave the country he fought so hard to keep together?

The last time the ibos had influence in Nigerian politics they betrayed all other ethnic group, so if they are being avoided in key political appointments ? I think it is justified depending on who is avoiding them.
As of today:

Igbo = Deputy Speaker
Igbo =Deputy Senate President
Igbo =Secretary to the Government of the Federation
Igbo = Finance minister and head of all other ministers

Presently, what more do Igbos want in a country of 250 ethnic groups?

Yoruba = nothing as of today.

From the title of this thread, Igbos are not crying; Yorubas are (and bitterly too).

Igbos dont count, They can be marginalised for all we care, Its like animals complaining they dont have the same rights as human.

When the Yoruba complained, They gave us presidency,

When Ijaws complained they gave them presidency,

When hausa complained they were allowed to rule

When Igbos tried it, They were crushed mercilessly by the Black Scorpion and they were told that they can never be president in this country, Best they can be is a Boy-boy Vice president

Like Azikwe, Ekwuene, Sylvester Ugo, Okadigbo, Ben Obi, Soludo
^^^^

I wonder then what the OPC man and every other Yoruba I have met are crying and lamenting all over the place about. See contradiction all over the place. Anyways, make una secede first make we see. I ask again, na yam? 1967 will be child's play; this time the battle will be fought and won in Lagos and Ibadan, with devastating blows to the neo rebels. As in the ancient times, the Fulani will begin crushing from Ilorin down south. Hahahahaha.

If it was the N or SE that had gone thru what SW went through, then things wouldn't be the way it is now, there will be more noise than we have now.
OBJ 4 one, did not use his presidency tenure to favour the yorubas in anyway uncalled 4.

Infact OBJ gave the SS oil states 13%derivation, elevated GEJ and was fare to all. It is funny to see how the rules have changed and it is now all-man-4-himself. Yorubas av suddenly become the cause of our problem.
They should remember one thing, nothing lasts forever.
The lamentations from self-induced disgruntlement. Ondo state also gets 13%. You guys are too greedy joo.
When OBJ was in Aso Rock, it was Yoruba, Yoruba in all corners of that place. Now it is Ijaw, Ijaw.  Live with it.

Yoruba have no business whining about marginalization now. They ruled for 8 years just a couple years ago. They were the House Speaker until a few months ago

If you whine due to a temporary set back, what will Igbos who have not ruled Nigeria since 1967 do? Hang themselves?

No one is leaving anywhere. We are one; we live and die together. Some of us will carry placards and demonstrate at the UN and other places against any group leaving Nigeria. Thread is closed.

As usual, outright racial and tribalistic posturing from Nchara and his co-tribalists! You didn't let those tribes which you secretly hate decide, you already concluded for them what they must do? Read your history because the overload of the Akpu in your stomach will not help you when you finally get your wish. How has this got to do with the civil war of 1967 or you are smarting from another recent propagandization of your akpu filled stomach? Was it not on another thread you tribalists were discussing how to "pull out of the corpse"? Make up your mind because when all these embers of war you fan blows into a real conflagration, you will never show-up even in Benin Republic (assuming you don't live in Nigeria), or be one of the first to checkout or one of the first to be killed! War is not a tea and biscuit affair and if you have no clue of what war can do, I refer you to the return match between the Russians and the Germans in WW II. Leave your plate of Akpu for once because people like you will disappear faster than air when shaite goes down!
Unlike akpu, obe ewedu and amala dudu do not fight secession wars. Start the secesssion first before you begin write long epistle. Na yam?
PoliticsRe: From Yoruba Marginalisation To Oduduwa Nation by Nchara: 4:38am On Dec 21, 2011
Like 1967 like today. Odua will only regret their action should they dare secede. They will be beaten back in 6 months, unlike Biafra that took three years. BUT SERIOUSLY they cannot leave because oil from non Odua land is too sweet for them to leave. So make we hear word. No be for mouth dey dey take leave Nigeria. Na by action. So far, there is no evidence of any action.

BTW, what would Awo have been thinking now were he alive to see his people dreaming (yes dreaming) to leave the country he fought so hard to keep together?

PoliticsRe: Ibb's Health Troubles North by Nchara: 12:16am On Dec 21, 2011
For once we should sit back and consider that Nigeria has been ruled by people before IBB and after him. None was able to establish a world class hospital where at least the rich, if not the poor, can get treated when they are sick. None was able to establish an efficient health system where the poor can get treated at low cost. So, the blame goes to all of them including OBJ who had the luck to rule twice and wasted our time twice.

So anybody wishing IBB death has to wish same for other leaders, including their own. Otherwise, it is covet bigotry.

Tinubu the evil one is there to be wished all sorts of death, but no, it is either Ojukwu, Jonathan, IBB, Abacha etc. Even those who are dead are rewished death.

[yo[b]u don't have to be sick to visit hospitals,regular check up is a normal [/b]process in western countries,especially when you are over 50,their are special insurance that cater only 50 yrs plus,the reason is that in a certain age you need a regular check ups mostly for those that smoke or drink when they were younger,i have a friend his dad had a stroke in Nigeria and the doctors were treating it as cancer to the point that this the man cant talk or move anymore,A big man too,we advised him to fly him to London ASAP.

Do you know that when they arrived in heath-row airport, he has to carry his the man in his back as he was coming out from the airport,he was rush straight to a private hospital in[b] BUSHY[/b] did a scan in his head and the doctors rushed him in the theater cut his  head open and suck out the blood clout in his head. that was it,they said if he remain one more week in Nigeria he will die.

before they went back the man was walking talking again,some times is stress that trigger strokes.
Many or some of those people in western countries who do medical check ups when not sick nevertheless still get sick and die. There are several terminal illnesses that preventative check ups will not mitigate. You are right on the bolded, but poor health and death will always come when they will. Again, I understand your point very clearly. Thanks.

Before one goes to any hospital (in Nigeria or abroad) for check up, it means they are sickly. The presence of a hospital will not make you not sick. Obasanjo appears to be growing old in good health.
