O Lord, help us we're vulnerable.

For these people to have still gone to farm, it means they're left with no other option.

Politics › Re: President Buhari As The Curse Of APC - The Nation Editorial by olril17(m): 1:45pm On Dec 03, 2020
privaldo:
By Jide Oluwajuyitan

President Buhari has faith neither in politicians nor in political parties. For the former, he has nothing but disdain and the latter for him is nothing more than a vehicle to take control of government. That perhaps explains why after his 2015 electoral victory, his first victims were those tested politicians on whose back he rode to power after three failed attempts and APC, the platform that aided his ascension to power which he later abandoned to political dealers and wheelers while he was in self-isolation for six months.

He personalized victory that rightly belongs to APC while refusing to constitute a cabinet or the boards of the over 50 smaller governments APC urgently needed to implement its manifesto, the basis on which the electorate voted it into power. He, in the process, ignored the most important duty of an elected representative of a political party- the pursuit of the special interest of party members and party supporters.

President Buhari unfortunately believed APC victory for which he is only a custodian was his victory; believing the fallacies and crooked logic by the likes of Governor Nasir El-Rufai and Dele Momodu to the effect that he won the election on his own merit on account of his integrity, an integrity that did not help him in his three earlier disastrous outings. Sycophants downplayed the role of the APC platform and the contributions of those who criss-crossed the land to sell the candidacy of Muhammadu Buhari who on account of his human right abuses during his first coming in 1984, many believed was incapable of purging himself of his dictatorial tendencies.

President Buhari did not only deny APC participation in APC government at all levels but has continued to undermine the APC platform that aided him to power in 2015. First he ignored the warnings of Pa Bisi Akande, APC first interim chairman and that of Aisha Buhari, his wife that his trusted loyal gatekeepers who did not contribute to his victory and who as outsiders could not properly articulate the manifesto of APC were merely exploiting the president’s well known weakness of trusting only old allies. Then out of share incompetence, he had allowed the government he was holding in trust for the APC to be he hijacked by Senate President Bukola Saraki and his 84 like-minded senators led by Dino Melaye. Between 2015 and 2019, the government was in disarray while the party displayed only instincts of factions with divergent tendencies, only interested in power as distinct from true political parties, the 17th century ingenious creation of intellectual elite to espouse vision and mobilize people for development.

It wasn’t until the eve of the 2019 presidential election that President Buhari remembered Bola Tinubu, the rejected cornerstone. He was saddled with reconciling warring APC members and their governors who, like the president, had institutionalised impunity in the management of state chapters of the APC. Tinubu and Adams Oshiomhole, a firm believer in party supremacy then set to work in earnest.

Bukola Saraki who until then had all his past wars fought for him had never experienced failure. But that was until he met Oshiomhole, his nemesis who declared “We went to Kwara, we did ‘otoge’ (Enough is enough). As a senate president, we uprooted him as a senator, we uprooted his nominee for governor and senators, while we were saying that we will impeach them, their people said they would rather bury them”.

In Ogun State, Amosun was the lord of the manor. He disallowed candidate Dapo Abiodun from campaigning in Abeokuta where his supporters also disrupted President Buhari’s campaign rally. He, according to Oshiomhole prevented his preferred aspirant from “participating in the primaries organised by the working committee; picked himself as a senate candidate to replace the incumbent, picked the governorship candidate and his deputy, the next speaker and deputy speaker, and declared that of the eight House of Representatives members, seven will not return. He then arrogantly declared “I, Senator Ibikunle Amosun will not work for any other candidate that they are rooting for to become governor. No way. They are free to do whatever they want to do, but I will not support them”. He also supported 26 aggrieved aspirants vying for Ogun State House of Assembly seats that had defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). Then Oshiomhole taught him a lesson in humility.

Then, Adams crossed over to Imo State where he ended Governor Okorocha’s dream of establishing a dynasty in Imo Government House. “What is painful”, Okorocha later lamented, “is that Adam Oshiomhole that I literarily put into this position…has become part and parcel of this high level of conspiracy to bring down Rochas politically”.

In Zamfara, Governor Abdul’aziz Yari wanted to impose a successor. Oshiomhole insisted he must follow APC rules. Eventually, the Supreme court ruled that the party did not conduct valid primaries in the build-up to the elections. It also decided that a party that had no valid candidate cannot be said to have emerged winner of the general elections. The Independent National Electoral Commission confirmed Bello Matawalle of the People’s Democratic Party, as the governor-elect of the northwest state. It also confirmed other PDP candidates for the National and State Assembly seats

In Rivers, while Minister Rotimi Amaechi backed Tonye Cole to clinch the party’s governorship ticket in the 2019 governorship election, Magnus Abe claimed that he was the party’s authentic governorship candidate, having scored the highest votes in a primary conducted by his faction. The two political gladiators went into a protracted legal battle that denied the party the opportunity to field candidates in governorship, national and state assembly elections. Amaechi had an axe to grind with Oshiomhole for not supporting impunity.

Because the party was behaving like factions, its National Working Committee (NWC) warned members who had taken the party to court to withdraw the suits or face sanction, citing Article 20, Subsection 10 of its constitution. But in flagrant subversion of the party constitution, President Buhari directed aggrieved party members to disregard the party’s threat and pursue their grievances in court.

For ‘doing the right thing, in the words of Chris Ogiemwonyi, former Minister of Works, Oshiomhole came under attack of aggrieved APC governors, merchants of impunity and others who according to Bola Tinubu, the national leader of APC, “perceive the chairman as an obstacle to their 2023 ambitions”. The only plausible reason one can advance for President Buhari’s decision to join hands with aggrieved APC governors who unconstitutionally humiliated him out of office is to say President Buhari loves none but self.

With Mai Mala Buni-led National Caretaker Committee of APC which ousted Oshiomhole from office pursuing its own agenda while selling a dummy to the eastern politicians, with the party behaving like factions in many states including Imo where Dan Nwafor-led state executive is facing crisis of legitimacy, Ekiti, Rivers, Zamfara, Ondo where internal wrangling are tearing the party apart and Ogun State where the caretaker committee of the party loyal to Governor Dapo Abiodun and former governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Osoba, last Monday allegedly broke into the state secretariat and took over the office, the party is set for implosion while the president pretends all is well.

Those APC leaders queried or suspended for their anti-party activities by Adams Oshiomhole committed no greater crime than President Buhari who during the 2019 electioneering campaign told voters in Zamfara, Imo and Ogun states to vote him as president but feel free to vote for any candidate of their choice for other political offices.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by olril17(m): 10:50pm On Nov 30, 2020
in case anyone is interested...cavani case is not same at all with Suarez evra incident.

THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
and
LUIS SUAREZ
5. The FA's case, in short, was as follows. In the goalmouth,
Mr Evra and Mr Suarez spoke to each other in Spanish. Mr
Evra asked Mr Suarez why he had kicked him , referring to the
foul five minutes previously. Mr Suarez replied "Porque tu eres
negro", meaning "Because you are black". Mr Evra then said to
Mr Suarez “say it to me again, I’m going to punch you”. Mr
Suarez replied "No hablo con los negros", meaning "I don't
speak to blacks". Mr Evra continued by saying that he now
thought he was going to punch Mr Suarez. Mr Suarez replied
"Dale, negro, negro, negro", which meant "okay, blackie,
blackie, blackie". As Mr Suarez said this, he reached out to
touch Mr Evra's arm, gesturing at his skin. Mr Kuyt then
intervened. When the referee blew his whistle and called the
players over to him shortly after the exchanges in the
goalmouth, Mr Evra said to the referee "ref, ref, he just called
me a fecking black"
6. Mr Suarez denied the Charge . His case, in short, was as
follows. He agreed with Mr Evra that they spoke to each other
in Spanish in the goalmouth. When Mr Evra asked why he had
kicked him, Mr Suarez replied that it was a normal foul and
shrugged his shoulders. Mr Evra then said that he was going to
kick Mr Suarez, to which Mr Suarez told him to shut up. As Mr
Kuyt was approaching, Mr Suarez touched Mr Evra's left arm in
a pinching style movement. According to Mr Suarez, at no
point in the goalmouth did he use the word "negro". When the
referee blew his whistle to stop play, Mr Evra spoke to Mr
Suarez and said (in English) "Don't touch me, South
American". Mr Suarez replied "Por que, negro?". He says that
he used the word “negro” in a way with which he was familiar
from his upbringing in Uruguay. In this sense, Mr Suarez
claimed, it is used as a noun and as a friendly form of address
to people seen as black or brown-skinned (or even just black-
haired). Thus, it meant "Why, black?" Mr Suarez maintained
that when he said "Por que, negro?" to Mr Evra, it was
intended in a conciliatory and friendly way. Mr Suarez said this
was the only time that he used the word “negro” in his
exchanges with Mr Evra during the match.
87. Mr Evra and Mr Suarez are agreed that they spoke to each
other in Spanish in the goalmouth . Mr Evra said that he is not
exactly fluent in Spanish but that he can easily converse in
Spanish. For Mr Suarez, Spanish is his native language as a
Uruguayan. Mr Evra told us that he began the conversation by
saying "Concha de tu hermana". Mr Evra's evidence was that
this is a phrase used in Spanish like when you say "fecking
hell" in English, but the literal translation is "your sister's
pussy". Mr Suarez did not hear Mr Evra say this. One of the
video clips that we have seen, taken from a close up angle
behind the goal, does appear to support Mr Evra's evidence
that he started the conversation with this comment.
90. Mr Evra's evidence was that, in response to his question
"Why did you kick me?", Mr Suarez replied "Porque tu eres
negro". Mr Evra said that at the time Mr Suarez made that
comment, he (Mr Evra) understood it to mean "Because you
are a nigger". He now says that he believes the words used by
Mr Suarez mean "Because you are black". We shall consider
further below Mr Evra's understanding of the Spanish word
"negro".
91. Mr Suarez said that he replied to Mr Evra's question "Why
did you kick me?" by saying "que habia sido una falta
normal", meaning "it was just a normal foul". He said he
shrugged his shoulders and put his arms out in a gesture to
say that there was nothing serious about it. At this point on
the video footage, Mr Suarez's face is obscured, but he does
appear to shrug his shoulders.
92. Mr Evra said that he followed up Mr Suarez's reply
"Because you are black" by saying "Habla otra vez asi, te voy a
dar una porrada", which means "Say it to me again, I'm going
to punch you". Mr Suarez replied by saying "No hablo con los
negros" . Mr Evra said that, at the time, he understood this to
mean "I don't speak to niggers", although he now says it
means "I don't speak to blacks".
93. Mr Suarez's evidence was that Mr Evra replied to the
comment "it was just a normal foul" by saying "Ok, you kicked
me, I'm going to kick you" . Mr Suarez said in his witness
statement that his response was "Le dije que se callara e hice
un gesto breve con mi mano izquierda parecido a la mocion
de un "pato cuando hace cuac" para indicarle que hablaba
mucho y deberia callarse", which was translated as "I told him
to shut up and made a brief gesture with my left hand like a
"quacking" motion as if to say he was talking too much and
should be quiet".
94. Mr Evra said that after Mr Suarez said "I don't speak to
blacks", he (Mr Evra) said "Ahora te voy a dar realmente una
porrada", which means "Okay, now I think I'm going to punch
you". To this he says that Mr Suarez replied "Dale,
negro...negro...negro" . At the time, Mr Evra understood this
to mean "Okay, nigger, nigger, nigger". He now says it means
"Okay, blackie, blackie, blackie". The expert witnesses stated
that the phrase "Dale, negro" can be understood as "Bring it
on, blackie" or "do it, blackie" or "go ahead, blackie" .
97. Mr Suarez said that at no point did he use the word
"negro" during the exchange with Mr Evra in the goalmouth.
103. Mr Evra's evidence was that while he was walking
towards the referee he said "ref, ref, he just called me a
fecking black". He said that he did not know whether the
referee heard his comment. The referee said something like
"Calm down, Patrice, the game has been brilliant, stop the
pushing between you and Suarez, the game is going well."
104. Mr Suarez's evidence was that simultaneously with the
blowing of the whistle, Mr Evra said to him "Don't touch me,
South American". Mr Suarez took this to be a reference to his
touching Mr Evra's arm on the goal-line a few moments earlier.
Mr Suarez said that he turned to Mr Evra and said "Por que,
negro?". He said that he used the word "negro" at this point in
the way that he did when he was growing up in Uruguay, that
is as a friendly form of address to people seen as black or
brown-skinned or even just black-haired. He said that he used
it in the same way that he did when he spoke to Glen Johnson,
the black Liverpool player. He said in no way was the use of
the word "negro" intended to be offensive or to be racially
offensive. It was intended as an attempt at conciliation.
167. According to the experts, the Spanish word "negro"
cannot simply be translated as "nigger" . Whereas "nigger"
refers exclusively to a person with dark skin, "negro" can be
used both as a noun ("a black"wink and as an adjective; as an
adjective it might be used to refer to a person ("un hombre
negro" [a black man]) but equally to an object ("una caja
negra" [a black box]).
168. It is important to grasp that the word "negro" is
ambiguous in all countries and regions of Latin America.
170. The word "negro" can have pejorative connotations, as it
may be associated with low class status, ugliness, vulgar
behaviour, noisiness, violence, dishonesty, sexual promiscuity
etc. In the River Plate region, for example, "los negros" is
sometimes employed as a general term for the lower classes
and especially for lower-class people whose behaviour is
deemed vulgar and not "respectable".
171. Thus, the word can be employed with the intent to offend
and to offend in racial terms; often the word would be
appended with further insult, as in the example "negro de
mierda" [shitty black].
172. The word "negro" is by no means, however, always used
offensively. The term can also be used as a friendly form of
address to someone seen as somewhat brown-skinned or
even just black-haired. It may be used affectionately between
man and wife, or girlfriend/boyfriend, it may be used as a
nickname in everyday speech, it may be used to identify in
neutral and descriptive fashion someone of dark skin; several
famous people in Uruguay are known as "el negro/la negra
such-and-such".
173. "Negro" can be used in the same way that other words
referring to physical characteristics are used as descriptors for
particular individuals, eg "el flaco" [the thin one/beanpole] or
"el gordo" [the fat one/fatso]; these words can also be used
without the article, eg "hola, gordo" [hi, fatso] or "chau,
flaco" [bye, beanpole]; thus, a group of friends waiting for
another friend might exclaim "mira, ahi viene el negro" [look,
here comes the black one/blackie].
174. In Latin America, other terms may be used in ways that
sound odd to a European ear. In Colombia, the word
"mono" (literally, "monkey"wink is used to address light-skinned
people or people whose hair is lighter than pure black. In
Mexico, the word "güero" is used to address blond or light-
haired people. In many areas, the word "moreno" [brown] may
be used as a term of address in similar ways to "negro".
175. Though these terms are often used between friends or
relatives, they are not used exclusively so; thus, an individual
might call out to a passer-by "ay, negro, querés jugar con
nosotros?" [hey, blackie, do you want to play with us?]; in all
cases, however, when the word is used in this way it implies a
sense of rapport or the attempt to create such rapport;
naturally, if the term were used with a sneer, then it might
carry some of the negative connotations referred to above .
179. Assuming Mr Suarez responded with "Porque tu eres
negro", this would be interpreted in Uruguay and other regions
of Latin America as racially offensive. When the noun is used
in the way described by Mr Evra, it is not a friendly form of
address, but is used in an insulting way: it is given as the
rationale for an act of physical aggression (the foul), as if the
person deserved such an attack since they are black. The term
is not being used as in paragraphs 172 and 173 above, but in
the sense of paragraph 171.
183. The sentence attributed to Mr Suarez, "No hablo con los
negros", falls into the same category of racist usage. It
assumes that the individual did not merit being talked to as he
belongs to a whole category of people classed as black.
Again, the term is not being used as in paragraphs 172 and
173 above, but in the sense of paragraph 171.
184. The expression "dale, negro" can be understood as "bring
it on, blackie" or "do it, blackie" or "go ahead, blackie". (These
all correspond to the French expression "vas-y", which Mr Evra
said he understood by the phrase.) In the context of the
previous usages of "negro" and "negros", this usage would
retain its provocative and offensive connotations , even
though, in a different context, the phrase "dale, negro" could
easily be inoffensive.
195. We have set out the expert evidence at length because
we consider that it provides helpful background to the issues
which we have to resolve. In particular, it provides valuable
insight into, amongst other things, the different ways in which
the word "negro" might be used in Uruguay.
201. Secondly, use of the word "negro" can be seen as
offensive or inoffensive in Uruguay and Latin America. It
appears to depend, largely, on the context. It might be seen
by some as inoffensive when used to address relatives,
friends or passers-by. However, we note the experts'
comment that in all cases when the word is used in this way it
implies a sense of rapport or the attempt to create such
rapport; naturally, if the term were used with a sneer, then it
might carry negative connotations. It is important to examine
closely the context in which it is used, and the way in which it
is used, in order to decide whether it is being used offensively
and offensively in racial terms.
202. Thirdly, the experts' confine their conclusions on Mr
Evra's and Mr Suarez's accounts to how the word would be
understood in Uruguay and Spanish-speaking America more
generally, They were right to do so, no doubt recognising that
whilst it is legitimate and helpful for the experts to give their
opinion on whether or not the word might be used to offend in
Uruguay and Latin America, it is the Commission's task to
decide whether the use of the word in England is abusive or
insulting. The use of the word in a particular way might be
seen as inoffensive by many in Uruguay. The same use of the
same word in England might nevertheless be abusive or
insulting .
262. What is more significant, in our judgment, is the
substance of Mr Suarez's evidence that his use of the word
"negro" with Mr Evra "was intended as an attempt at
conciliation" and "was meant in a conciliatory and friendly
way".
263. The whole episode in the match starting with Mr Suarez's
foul on Mr Evra in the 58th minute, and continuing with their
encounter in the penalty area in the 63rd to 65th minutes was
confrontational and hostile . In the goalmouth, Mr Evra fired
the first verbal assault and Mr Suarez responded in a hostile
fashion judged by his demeanour as shown on the video
footage and his pinching of Mr Evra's skin . When the referee
blew his whistle to stop play, it was less than 10 seconds after
the pinching in the goalmouth. This is when Mr Suarez claimed
to have used the word “negro” for the one and only time. The
players' demeanour, as shown in the video footage, showed
that the exchanges continued to be confrontational . This was
followed, after the referee had spoken to the players, by Mr
Suarez putting his hand on the back of Mr Evra's head in a way
which, in our judgment, was intended to aggravate Mr Evra .
264. The whole tenor of the players' exchanges during this
episode was one of animosity. They behaved in a
confrontational and argumentative way. This continued at all
times during their exchanges in the penalty area. Whilst Mr
Evra is partly to blame for starting the confrontation at that
moment, Mr Suarez's attitude and actions were the very
antithesis of the conciliation and friendliness that he would
have us believe .
266. In our judgment, Mr Suarez's use of the term was not
intended as an attempt at conciliation or to establish rapport;
neither was it meant in a conciliatory and friendly way . It was
not explained by any feeling on Mr Suarez’s part that a
linguistic or cultural relationship had been established between
them or that the context was one of informal social relations.
The video footage, when viewed in detail and when looked at
as a whole, shows that the players continued their animosity
throughout this incident. Their hostility is shown in their
actions and demeanour before, at the moment of, and after
Mr Suarez's admitted use of the word .
267. Once more, we were troubled by the fact that Mr Suarez
advanced this case to us and relied on it to the extent that he
did, when it was unsustainable. The suggestion that he
behaved towards Mr Evra at this time in a conciliatory and
friendly way, or intended to do so in using the word "negro", is,
in our judgment, simply not credible. His evidence is again
inconsistent with the video footage. Once again, there was no
satisfactory explanation for this inconsistency.
268. In contrast, Mr Evra’s evidence was not shown to be
inconsistent with the facts established by other evidence, such
as the video footage, in any material respect.
304. Mr Dalglish told the referee that Mr Suarez responded
with "you are black" having first been taunted with "you are
South American" . Mr Comolli is not recorded as using the
word "taunted", but said that Mr Evra said "you are South
American" to Mr Suarez who responded with "Tues negro"
which translates "you are Black". There is no suggestion here
that Mr Evra had said "Don't touch me", yet this seems now to
be an essential part of Mr Suarez's evidence. We were not
given any explanation as to why the referee was not told that
Mr Evra had said "Don't touch me, South American", as
opposed to "you are South American". Secondly, at least as
expressly reported by Mr Dalglish, Mr Suarez's remark was a
riposte to being taunted by Mr Evra. If that is correct, it would
suggest that Mr Dalglish understood Mr Suarez's comment to
be in the nature of retaliation for having been called "South
American". But that would suggest that the riposte "You are
black" was used in a derogatory sense, which is contrary to
Mr Suarez's case . In fact, Mr Suarez told us that he did not
consider being described as South American to be derogatory,
so it is difficult to understand why this was referred to as a
"taunt". (Dalgish the clown )
359. In our judgment, the occasion when Mr Suarez admitted
using the word "negro" probably occurred in this way. After the
referee had spoken to the players and told them to calm
down, Mr Suarez put his hand on the back of Mr Evra's head
as they walked away. This was designed to further aggravate
Mr Evra. The referee spoke to them again. Mr Evra said that he
did not want Mr Suarez to touch him. We bear in mind that Mr
Suarez said that he understood Mr Evra when he said in
English "Don't touch me". This is consistent with the fact that
Mr Evra spoke to the referee in English. It is probable that Mr
Suarez heard Mr Evra saying to the referee in English that he
did not want Mr Suarez to touch him. As they walked away
from the referee for this second time, Mr Evra probably said to
Mr Suarez again in English "Don't touch me" or words to that
effect, and Mr Suarez said "por que, negro?", meaning "why,
black".
392. In total, Mr Suarez used the word "negro" or "negros"
seven times in the penalty area. On each occasion, the words
were insulting. On each occasion, Mr Suarez breached Rule
E3(1). Accordingly, the Charge is proved.

SpecialAdviser:
Tinubu is greedy and to large extent let me say that any south Westerner aiming to take over from Buhari is so greedy.

I do not like to tone tribal in my comments but some times events pushes you towards such direction. We all should be careful how we run our country if we really want to be united.

I have seen so many nairaland comments who say Igbos did not work for APC and so do not deserve APC ticket. Nonsense. What exactly do they mean? Okorocha was not in APC? Or were there no state representatives of Igbo extraction from APC?

In 1999 when Obasanjo won election, how many votes did he get from South West. In fact what work did South West did for PDP for them to get the ticket? Most of South Westerners supported Buhari for better for worst just for the ticket. Refusing to condemn his short coming just for 2023 ticket. Is that not stupidity? Will Buhari even take you serious if you fail to tell him the truth when he is misbehaving.

Am one of those who fell disappointed in some South Western childish and uneducated behavior during Buhari government. You mortgaged your entire tribe allowing them sink further in poverty just for 2023 ticket only to think your pretence is not loud to see. Funny thing is that they troll Igbos for standing for truth tagging them IPOBs just to gain the joy of the northerners. Lol. How unsophisticated?

If we can't be a one nation, let's go our separate ways in peace. But you can't continue to sing Igbo man cannot be President and still hate to see them have their own country.

SE presidency in 2023 is the way forward. Let Igbos do their own, may be they can be the real change we all craved.
you guys don't learn..
sw APC is different from sw PDP..
limit your diatribe to SW APC and not put all SW in to same boat.

You're Ignoramus.
I'll respond to this again today.
It was modulated salaries AGREED UPON BY LABOUR LEADERS.
They're part of the committee that receives Osun Federal Allocation (chaired by oyetola then), they know and share everything to respective sectors.
Level 1-7 collects full salary (Government owe them nothing)
8-14 collects 75% of their salaries.
only officers collects half of theirs.

Meanwhile, Aregbesola has been paying the cuts before he left, it remain just 2 months OF THE CUTS.

Where you're seeing these nonsense you all always post baffles me.

Before he Left, he has been paying full salaries for all workers since Osun economy is improving
liar...

If you all know Aregbesola, you'll know he's a man of peace.
Someone whose mum was disgraced out of Ilesha, his allies and bosom friends killed, ACN members killed and subjected to series of brutalities during his struggles.

As he was declared winner on November 2010, all ACN members stood their ground, brandishing weapons that they'll revenge but surprisingly what did Aregbesola said, HE WARN ANYONE NOT TO REVENGE ELSE THEY'LL BE DEALT WITH IRRESPECTIVE OT THEIR SUPPORTS.

This is someone that doesn't criticize like politicians, all his employment favours PDP members than ACN to the extent that Party leaders had to criticize him.

This is a man that do not share Kobo of state money for his party men unlike his predecessor. hence He was hated by party members

This is a man that first pays 13 months salary to workers in Nigeria. Increase pension (some were collecting #200 as pension then)

This is a man that touched ALL sectors in GOVERNANCE.

This is an architect of the new Osun, the man that is free of ANY CORRUPTION.

God bless Aregbesola, he's a great leader. An unsung hero as that.



Back to topic, he's not even the convener of the event.

“Therefore, the lecture was a decision of the legislators and not organised by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as falsely reported by some sections of the media, traditional and social.

ogun state is actually one of the worst states in Nigeria.. I actually think its the worst..
all the high igrs,industries yet some big towns (e.g ifo) can not even boast of a single tarred road...
most roads in Ogun are terrible and some local governments like ipokia,ijebu waterside,ado odoota can not even boast of any infrastructure at all.

This is amazing. Really show we can move forward together to build a more prosperous nation.

For this single action Severussnape, I forgive you for all the bashing and insults you directed to me. I also apologize if I said anything that hurt your feelings.

This election should be a lesson to all our Political elites that from now on - public office is primarily an opportunity to serve. No more "I don't give a dam" attitude. And Buhari should never forget his promises, we have our eyes on him. We will celebrate him if he do well. But if he fails to deliver, we will kick him out.

God bless Nairaland.
God bless Nigeria.
Sai Buhari.
is it still sai buhari now?
