Afam4eva: When i said that ugly logo can cause confusion, some people thought i was lying.

It also shows that APC has no ideology other than that they want to wrestle power from PDP.

VALIDATOR: @jesu orobo,
I do not think any school will accept you straight for a Masters Degree. You may be asked to first go through a graduate diploma (often called pgd).
You did not specify your course of study.Neither did you tell us your career goal.It is difficult to give you advice now that you have given us very little information.
Please tell us more.

aminho: There is no
Ward, LGA or State in this Country
that you will not find PDP. What
does this mean? It simply means
the people can easily be reached
and mobilized during elections.

Jarus: Ekiti Deputy Governor is a traffic-stopper.

bilms: @Garry, i don't live in ilorin, though i frequent. I have once posted about the state of the road like 2 years ago, but till date, the roads are bad. Very bad. Infact, if the close to 100m spent on bill board is spent on the road, it would have improved. Though, the road is federal and the people have been crying to the fg severally with no response.

dayokanu: If you have paid attention in the past you would have noticed that Aregbesola was the one renovating the road.

I think its a good time in Nigeria when the billboard are the complaints and not the state of the roads if the roads were terrible he wont be complaining about billboard?

If you get home and see your house on fire, Is it your child sleeping inside that you would be bothered about or your picture frame?

It is not yet clear the manner in which his movement aboard was arranged and to which hospital.

tomakint: Wao this is 'political strategy' at play! In my own candid opinion, besides the 22 States the PDP are scheming hard to win, I think Jonathan will definitely win in Ondo and Oyo and get sizable votes in Lagos, Ekiti and Ogun States leaving out Osun as the odd one out as far as South-west is concerned! Getting a new VP is a wise move, and I am looking at the Katsina Governor as the new replacement

It was also gathered that Jonathan’s
strategists have not lost hope on their
plan to ‘capture’ the South-West in
2015.
It was learnt that they are targeting
Osun and Ekiti States.

Mad Cow: Useless Yoruba School!

As part of its determination to make Osun inhospitable to criminals, the state government has acquired a helicopter to beef up its Swift Anti-Robbery Squad (SAS) in the aspect of aerial surveillance.
The helicopter, a French Five-Plus-One passenger Eurocopter AS-355N, is a 2006 Model with twin engines.
A statement by the Director, Bureau of Communications and Strategy in the Office of the Governor, Semiu Okanlawon, explained that the latest security acquisition, under a Lease agreement with OAS Helicopters, Lagos, compliments the state’s investments on adequate protection of lives and properties of the citizenry.

Last year August, the state government launched the Swift Action Squad outfit with five Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) and 25 patrol vans. It has since acquired another set of 100 patrol vans to ensure that all nooks and crannies of the state are covered.
The helicopter is also to provide emergency services for the Osun Emergency Management Agency and the O-Ambulance in cases of medical emergencies and other forms of evacuations.

At the launch of the SAS in August last year, the Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, promised that the government was working hard to ensure aerial surveillance which would make it impossible criminals to escape out of the state the moment any crime is committed.
The Governor had explained then that once the state is well-secured from the activities of bandits, the state would become attractive to investors, thereby catalyzing rapid growth of the economy.

Afam4eva: What's England looking for in the top 10 and they're even ahead of Portugal.

Construction work has begun on the 100-kilometre Ilara-Oja Odan road in Imeko Afon Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on an inspection visit to the site yesterday, commended the pace of work and promised to construct an additional 1kilometre road linking the Ilara town to the neighboring Republic of Benin, as requested by the community during the inspection.

He reiterated the commitment of his administration to open up the rural areas through massive road construction.

He said access road was crucial to economic empowerment, hence the determination of his government to devote resources to the road subsector.

“You need good roads to get your farm produce to the markets within and outside your local council and state. Everybody needs excellent road network to save productive time, reduce stress, accident and other losses associated with bad or lack of access roads,” Amosun said.

The road, according to the governor, will be of Ogun standard, complete with median, drainage, among others.

“This is to guarantee safety of commuters and prolong the life span of the highway,” he said.
The people of Ilara in the neighbouring Benin Republic, who trooped out in large numbers to receive the governor, expressed gratitude to the Senator Amosun-led government for ending their distress.
The governor made stop-over visits to communities along the 100km highway and exchanged pleasantries with residents.

Amosun had earlier inspected the proposed international standard Lafenwa-Aiyetoro Road to have an overview of the Right of Way and other features that could be accommodated by the highway.
