Desola: you go wan share the tin if true true na your land e dey?

Never.
But they should for the sake of peace

When Ikeke Idi stop been tribalistic in her utterances

Eko Ile: Funny and greedy AGIPA people.

Build refinery inside ya land, but go steal oil to fuel refinery from another man's land...smh

But Kogi was too slow to even let the refinery be commissioned before coming out, or wasn't there boundary before?

They both better settle it amicably, by sharing it.

FG better declare the two states oil producing states to avoid unnecessary clash.
It won't be a easy one since it involve two regions, not just two states like it is in S/South.

But all the land dispute wasn't relevant not until oil was discovered.
Everybody won chop oil money

The current dispute between Kogi and Anambra States over the ownership of an oil rich land may take more efforts to be resolved, LEADERSHIP's findings have revealed.

The dispute which follows President Goodluck Jonathan's declaration of Anambra as an oil producing state is currently generating controversy in neighbouring States of Kogi and Anambra.

However, LEADERSHIP investigations revealed that the matter will be subject to proper and thorough survey work to actually determine the rightful owners of the land.

Findings at the National Boundary Commission (NBC) revealed that the boundary between Anambra and Kogi States was last delineated in 1924 during the colonial era, and therefore calls for a fresh survey.

Officials at the Commission who preferred anonymity told our correspondent that the disputed land lies along the Niger valley.

"The matter is receiving full attention at the NBC. We are working towards resolving the dispute and soon the rightful owners will be determined. The issue is that the boundary between the states was last delineated in 1924.

"So a survey has to be carried out to determine the rightful owners of the land as the natural landmarks like hills and Iroko trees are not sufficient enough to determine such a sensitive matter especially now that oil is involved. You may find the hilltop, but not find the Iroko tree anymore," the official said.

The source added that another reason that makes the matter sensitive is the fact that it is a dispute between the South East and North Central, "so there is need for caution to be applied in handling the matter," the source added.

The source however, assured that just like the Akwa-Ibom/Cross River oil well dispute which was resolved amicably, the Kogi/Anambra dispute would also be amicably resolved, adding that there was no need for communities to engage themselves in acts of violence or take the law into their hands in laying claim to the land.

The argument by the Kogi people is that although the refinery is located in Aguleri Otu in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, the oil well which currently feeds the refinery is located in Odeke, in Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State, alleging that the oil producing status bestowed on Anambra State was wrong.

Meanwhile, Orient Petroleum Chairman, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, while speaking during the refinery commissioning ceremony had said the controversy over ownership of the oil deposits has been resolved adding that the bulk of the deposits are within Anambra territory, but Kogi contends that the area the company refers to as Anambra, is indeed within Kogi State.

With his daily growing popularity rating- criticisms notwithstanding- Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's recent appointment as the chancellor of LadokeAkintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) is a significant feather to his already fully decorated socio-political cap.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State and one of the national leaders of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), may as well be some preternatural creature. He strikes the unnatural, often times and always waltzes through the most difficult terrain unscathed. Perhaps, living true to his name- Akanbi- one who is destined to triumph beyond human comprehension, Tinubu has remained one largely incomprehensible character to whom even his excesses are conceded, albeit sometimes not willingly.

That he is one of the biggest if not the biggest political personality in the country today is not in doubt. It may have been tough, rough and challenging, coming this far, for the Jagaban of Borgu, has been a function of class leadership defined more by his character, strong-will and doggedness.

Last week, Tinubu was appointed the Chancellor of LadokeAkintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso. The institution which is jointly owned by the governments of Oyo and Osun States was founded by the old Oyo State in 1988.

Special Adviser to Governor Abiola Ajimobi on Media, Dr. Festus Adedayo, said the decision was taken after extensive deliberation between the governments of the two owner-states. And being an accountant and administrator, it is believed that Tinubu would bring his vast experience in public management to bear on the running of the institution, as well as reposition it to meet the standard of its peers around the world.

That was to signal a rather promising week for Tinubu. Just as the week was closing in, he was reportedly invited to attend the three-day National Convention of the United States Democratic Party that kicked off on Monday in Charlotte, North Carolina.

According to local media reports in the US, Tinubu who was invited to the convention in his right as the leader of the opposition in Nigeria would be at the ring side as the Democratic Party conduct activities that would culminate in the nomination of President Obama as its candidate for the November 2012 Presidential elections in the USA.

Tinubu who would be accompanied by Governor KayodeFayemi of Ekiti State, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State, Mr. Dele Alake and Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. AdeyemiIkuforij, was said to have received a gold card invitation with which he would be admitted alongside his entourage.

The former Lagos governor who had enjoyed a similar ring side seat some four years ago when Obama was inaugurated in Washington, had been in the states for what was described as successful one week lecture tour, town hall meeting and book launch, both in Washington and Chicago.

For instance, at the launch of the book jointly written by Tinubu and Brian Browne, in Chicago, the United States (US), the event reportedly became a forum where suggestions were offered on how to rescue Nigeria's economy. Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, wrote the forward to the book, entitled: "Financialism - Water from an Empty Well", and co-author by Tinubu.

Tinubu said the idea behind the book was provoked by the injustices of the present economic system and how the contradictions eventually caught up with the players, whom he claimed left the low level income earner and small businesses with the short end of the stick.

"Productive capitalism relies on the discipline of the market place. What now occurs is that powerful actors exploit the license the market place affords them. In doing so, they endanger the very economies from which they unduly profit. In other words, they have emptied the well, yet continue to seek to take water from it. These people practice a speculative brand of economics. My co-author and I have given this mutation of capitalism the name of 'financialism'. Financialism is capitalism so shorn of all restraint that it cannibalizes itself," he said.

Tinubu therefore noted that: "Nigeria needs to be put to work. We have a lot of catching up to do. Asian governments support the industrialisation of their economies. Wise European nations are starting to retool their industrial base. Nigeria cannot hope to achieve prosperity simply by exporting exhaustible natural resources. We must follow the historic route that all large nations have followed in reaching national prosperity. We must make, create and export what we make and create."

Preceding this was a lecture he delivered at the Woodrow Wilson Centre in Washington DC, entitled: "The Role of the Opposition in Meeting Nigeria's Challenges." Tinubu who came down heavily on President Goodluck Jonathan by describing his choice during the 2011 general election as a mistake and disappointment to the Nigerian people, said the country had entered a troubling period and that government meant to address the challenges does the reverse.

"President Jonathan may have won the 2011election. However, since then, his errant policies have awakened the people to the grave mistake they made when they handed him the staff of office. If an election were held today, Jonathan would not win. To all Nigerians, his Administration has been a disappointment. If it continues as is, they will come to see it as a manifold disaster.

"By his policies; political and economic, the people believe he has turned his back on them, that he has broken the contract between the government and the governed. If given a viable alternative, they are more than ready to turn their back on him and his party. The opposition now is ready to provide that alternative," he said.

Yet, political pundits do not see the sequence of events as sheer happenstance but designed strategies meant to culminate in the current consolidation efforts by the opposition for which Tinubu is an arrowhead. The beliefs that Tinubu is up to some nerve-racking plans by next election is rife, especially that his party had opened up talks with different political parties with a view to wresting power from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the national level.

Those who know Tinubu and understand his keenly dynamic politics say he can only be ignored to the detriment of other stakeholders and onlookers alike. Not only does he understand the rudiments of the game as much as the theoretical frameworks, he knows the use of the structure and sub-structure such that his projections are usually near accurate, despite its high risk level.

Thus, with an overtly sharp incursion into the academic environment- a critical sector in any propitious economy- the spread of the gospel according to Saint Tinubu is appreciably viral and with an effective impact, the new chancellor on the block may have secured a permanent place in the nation's body polity as a character of intense interest.

henrychubayo: These story is a fiction. I wonder what ppl benefit from telling a story like these. This is how i can to that conclusion. First she said these words "I am a graduate and currently
serving in Kaduna".

Then she later said
"I went back to school, I
had no one to talk to. The
rest of the semester was
hell for me. My CGPA
dropped drastically".

My question is which of the 2 is true? No one should believe these fiction. Thanks all.

You must be a very poor reader.
The lady was serving in Kaduna when she wrote her story, and the story was about what happened to her days in school in Lagos, how her CGPA dropped after the incidence.
You need to go back to uni for GNS101. Damn
Who has now jumped to conclusion?

I read  a touching, pathetic experience on one a blog, so i thought i should share it with you guys, it's about the horrifying experience of 8 girls in the hand of 8 devilish men, its a must read for all ladies out there.

"Hi, I am Tonia (not real name), a girl who has fears, beliefs, reservations and just your regular typical Nigerian girl. This past few weeks has been one hell of a game for me. I have really been unsettled and I thought I share this story with you.

"When Cynthia (the lady killed in the hotel room in Festac, Lagos) surfaced on the internet and various news media, I was scared and it brought back a whole lot of memories to me and also served as and eye opener. Many people castigated and criticised Cynthia (may her
gentle soul rest in peace), but my point is, it could have been anybody, anybody at all.

"We have met people through various social media. Some have ended up well, some have not but with painful memories. To cut the long story short, let me kindly share with you my encounter with social media especially the very popular Blackberry Messenger (BBM).

"I am a graduate and currently serving in Kaduna. I could have runced it, but I needed somewhere to clear my head and forget about my ugly encounter. Here is my story.

"I happened to have a married man as a contact on my BBM. He had been asking me out for over six months and I refused to date him. As time went on, he invited me clubbing with him when his wife was outside the country, and I went with him all night. We spent most of the night at Swe bar, Lagos.

"I also met his clique of friends, married as well with their various mistresses. We had 'mad' fun. After all the clubbing and drinking, he lodged me in a hotel somewhere in Obalende. I felt sort of safe with him. We did not have sex, but he made sweet love to me and touched me in places I had never ever imagined.

"He kissed me passionately but guess what? He did not have sex with me. We did all sorts but there was no penetration. So, to an extent, I trusted he was a good person to be around with. I did not know that it was all part of the plan.

"He gave me N10,000 and put me in a cab to go home the next morning. We kept talking and chatting and sending naked pictures to each other and he told me naughty things of how he wanted to whisper things in my ear, I blushed. We didn't see for two weeks and that was because his wife just came back from Turkey.

"One faithful evening, he pinged me that he was organising a beach party/boat cruise and that he would love for me to be his date and that he wanted to open a BBM chat, as a medium for his friends and my friends to interact. I was excited about it, I just wanted to have fun. I was able to get five of my very hot friends.

"The BBM group opened and we got chatting. I also realise that majority of them were married and working in reputable firms. It was fun and we didn't mind if they were married, we just wanted to have fun, as well as some other girls apart from my friends in the group.

"We chatted exclusively, sent pictures to the BBM group to introduce ourselves, and we had opened group conversations pending the beach party. And as excited as we were, we went shoping for nice sexy beach wears.

"The D-day finally came, we all assembled at the Lagos Island Boat Club. I was wowed because it was a high class party. We were cruising in a boat loaded with goodies drinks and hot babes, and as well 'MARRIED MEN'. I did not care, I just said in my mind that I would not roll with married men anymore after this, that for now, all I wanted to do was to catch some fun. After all, I wasn't paying bills.

"We got there, it was a private beach resort. Most of the beach facilities I got to see there were owned by multinational companies. We got out of the boat, and went to where we were partying. It was a duplex made with wood. It was a very nice setting.

"I felt comfortable because it even had a fence around it separating it from other beach houses around. So, there was privacy and of course bouncers (heavy looking guys) guarding the place. I said to myself, this must be heaven, I must be dreaming.

"Anyways, we felt free with each other because we had been chatting. It was 5:30pm and the party just started. We had drinks flowing from the private bar tender which happens to be owned by one of the men in the group. Reality struck when I realised that I was feeling dizzy and feeling really funny and light headed. Not only me, but other girls around me too noticed there was something strange about it.

"I was also feeling Hot as hell! I had been drugged. They monitored us and when they knew the drug had really gone deep into our system, they moved us up into the main beach house. I could still see faces, but was too weak and Hot to react.

"Mr B, the man who took me clubbing, carried me in his hands like a sacrifice and put me down on the floor just as other men also did with their girls. We were eight in numbers; 8 girls, 8 guys, and they all stripped us down and had sex with us.

"I enjoyed it a bit because I was Hot. It was a mixed feeling because I cried, I moaned, but I did not know how many times he came into me. He pounded me hard. I was dizzy, but he grabbed me with force. All I could notice was the wedding ring on his finger. I thought of how wicked and miserable some married can be. How inhuman and heartless they could be.

"All of them took turns in switching partners and slept with all of us. I passed out. That was the last thing I could remember. I felt water poured on me. I noticed all the other girls around me too were half naked and some stark naked.

"We spent the night at the beach, but the men were no where to be found. I looked round me and all I could see was packs of used condoms. I ran to pick my cloths and possibly raise an alarm. I got dressed, found my phone with an envelope. It contained N16,000 and a note asking us to take N2000 each for transport. Tears of anger and rage filled my eyes and the girls around me as well.

"We were drugged and used like tissue paper. I grabbed my phone and noticed a ping came in. I checked my phone and I noticed the BBM group had been deleted, and a message via BBM from MR B came in. He threatened me that if I say a word to anyone, I would regret it.

"I told him he was a bastard, and he said try it. A picture came in, several pictures. In fact, they were pictures of us being naked on the floor. Pictures of the humiliating us but they blurred the faces of the men. In total, I got 20 pictures. I was not myself for a month.

"I went back to school, I had no one to talk to. The rest of the semester was hell for me. My CGPA dropped drastically. It was the worst out of the worst result I ever had.

"Till today, my friends and I have not discussed this with anyone, but all I could do when I heard of Cynthia's story was to narrate my own ordeal anonymously and spread the news, the word, and pray they see it and changed their ways.

"I am now born again. I have given my life to Christ. I fear men so much that I cannot even move close to them. I still have nightmares, but with time, God will strengthen me and I will move on. My advice to single ladies out there is, do not be desperate for fun. Pray to God to open your eyes of understanding, and pray hard. He who kneels before God will stand before kings and queens.

"To all married women, pray hard to God to intervene in your marriages and turn your husbands from bad habits to and bad friends. As for me, I do not think I ever want to get married or date a man again. That chapter has been closed for good in my life.

Please, do not ignore my mail. Please post it. There are a lot of things we ladies need to learn including you. Please post it on your blog and save a soul. It could be your friend, sister, cousin, neighbour.

"God bless you as you pass it on. To all readers, I do not care if you insult me or rain abuses at me. My job is to share this encounter with you and save you from any mishap. God bless you all. Amen."

Great, we're getting there.
But our economy still seems to colaps soon, because I don't see any long lasting strong economy of a consuming nation competing with producing countries.

Seriously, people have to know their origin

Opposition to CBN’s new monetary policy is huge; four out of five Nigerians polled opposed the policy.

Majority of Nigerians who participated in a ten-day long poll believe the introduction of the new N5000 notes by the Central Bank of Nigeria is “unnecessary.”
In a major fiscal restructuring that has triggered some controversy, the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), late August, announced that it was preparing to launch the 5,000 naira note; convert 5, 10 and 20 naira to coins; and redesign the 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 notes.
In the PREMIUM TIMES poll initiated after the CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido, announced the bank’s plan, voters were asked if they think the CBN was right to introduce the N5000 note into the economy.
The result of the poll showed that more than four in every five Nigerians (84%) believe the move by the CBN is absolutely unnecessary.
Another six per cent thought the move, though necessary, is not needed at the moment.
Only one in every 25 persons polled (6%) believed the introduction is necessary. Four per cent of the voters are indifferent about the policy.
The sentiments expressed by the online voting community resonated with the views so far expressed by both professionals and politicians across the country.
Since announcing the move to restructure the Nigerian currency, the Central Bank has come under heavy criticism from the public, with  economists arguing that the move might add nothing to the economy.
“While it would not necessarily have any effect on the cashless policy, I don’t foresee any serious advantage to the economy as a whole,” said Jamilah Yaqub, a senior economics lecturer at the Lagos State University.
The Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) also opposed the plan, saying  the exercise might result in the devaluation of the country’s currency.
The Central Bank’s move has also been opposed by both the ruling People’s Democratic Party-led National Assembly and opposition politicians.
The CBN governor, however, said the move would strengthen Nigeria’s economy and insists on rolling out the policy early 2013

Akure — Mr Rotimi Akeredolu is the governorship candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for October 20, 2012 election in Ondo State. In this interview, the former Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) President and one-time Ondo State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General spoke on his ambition to replace the incumbent Governor Olusegun Mimiko. Excerpts:

After your emergence as ACN governorship candidate for October 20 election, some bigwigs in your party like Saka Lawal, Dr Olu Agunloye among others left your party for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party(LP).


Do you think their defection may affect your chances?

I don't think any bigwig has left the party. Not as far as I know, except you mention names. Most of us have stayed together. But if you talk of somebody like Saka Lawal or Agunloye who have gone to the PDP and LP, none of the two is a bigwig. All I can say about Agunloye is that he has a trade mark. He has moved from the AD to PDP to LP to ACN and back to the LP again. One thing is certain; their exits cannot affect us in anyway. Before he finally left the party, most of his supporters had disagreed with him. In fact, he met a large number of his supporters in the ACN. He met them there and they supported him in his aspiration. So when he was leaving, they told him to go alone since he met them in their party. He is alone now. If he has any supporter now, that means, the one he came with from the LP. The analysis is so clear. And that is what we have been telling our people, that those who came to join your party and are leaving, cannot take you out of your party, the party is yours not theirs.


Many people within and outside the ruling Labour Party are of the opinion that there is no need to change a performing governor. What is your take on this?

Let me tell you, majority of the people in this state know that this government has not done anything to deserve being in government in the first place not to talk of continuing in office. This government has only succeeded in craving publicity and with the help of the media, been able to showcase what I will call cosmetic projects and the majority of the people cannot be fooled. I travelled far and wide in this state during my campaign to be the candidate of the ACN and after I became the candidate and all I can see was desperation for change because there is nothing to show as real development projects. I know, when the election comes people would vote for their preferred candidate. He cannot be fooling all people all times.


What prompted your ambition to become the governor of Ondo State after your exploits in the Bar?

Yes, I am so concerned about the economic development of the state and the well-being of the people. I can see that in this state today, people are disappointed and there is hardly anything anyone can point to as the gain of democracy in the past three and half years. There is no economic activity of any substance that anyone can point to and that has rendered the state comatose. That is one of my driving forces. Another force that is driving me is that there is no judicious use of the economic resources of this state and so because of that, I believe there should be a change and I have the capacity to bring that change.


Are you saying the incumbent governor has not been working at all, despite series of awards he has received so far from different people?

When we talk of awards, these are buyable items in this country. If I bring out my file, I can show you over fifty awards that I refused to buy. You purchase awards in this country. People send it to you every now and then and if you belong to that sphere you fall for those tricks. So if you have state funds to waste and you are the type, you get as many as you want. This government is only buying awards. For instance, how can the body of students give an award to a governor who has not been paying bursary or scholarship stipends to students or confer an award on such a governor? Of course, what happened was that some of their leaders were bought and the award followed. To me, those awards are part of the cosmetics we are talking about.


You recently called on unemployed youths in the state to register in your office here. What exactly is your plan for them?

There are many avenues to engage the youths in productive activities and we are going to explore quite a lot of them. Let me make a correction. What we are doing is to have them registered in their local government headquarters. They fill a form and identify their skills. They are not supposed to come here. Let me tell you, there are so many skills. By the time we come in, we are going to carry out the employment in broad fields but we are keeping the modalities to our chest now. We are certainly going to employ 30,000 youths immediately we come into office.


You were a leading member of the legal team that retrieved the mandate of the incumbent from the tribunal. What really separated you?

I am a lawyer and I did my best as a lawyer and that ended there. I have my own political fortune to pursue and if it is better served with ACN and ACN is an adversary to its own party, so be it. The thing is that both of us want to render service to our people. If he can use the platform of Labour Party and I use the platform of the ACN, I don't think there should be any problem. There is no parting of ways. Yes, political ways, because we are operating on different platforms.


There is apprehension in the land as we move towards the election date. The attacks and the trading of blames by political parties, what do you think should be done to make the state safe and the election peaceful?

I think the tempo has gone down now. I have been out in the field campaigning for the past two weeks and my convoy has not been attacked once. I give kudos to the SSS and the Police for maintaining security. They always stick with us and I think that probably has put the LP thugs in check. But that is not to say the LP thugs are not there. They are there and they enjoy a lot of cooperation, strangely from the police who have collaborated with them in a manner I condemn without mincing words. There are a lot of trumped-up charges against some of our members which the police help the LP engineer. When they get all these foolish complaints, rather than investigating the matter, and because they are working in tandem with the LP, they just arrest our members. They arrest first before coming up with trumped-up charges and every other one is an armed robbery suspects. The complaints are not even recorded in their books before they go for the arrests. They take this to the Magistrate Court which will refuse bail because it lacks jurisdiction. The arrested persons are then put in jail. The idea is to put them behind bars at all cost. A police that is worth its salt and deserves some respect from the people should know that you should not take people to court until they are investigated and found questionable.

Look at what happened in the US, somebody shot people and he was not arrested immediately. It was after an investigation was carried out that they went to his house to pick him. The Ondo State Police command is committing many atrocities in collaboration with the Labour Party government and we have succeeded in taking the matter up with the police authorities. We presented our case at a stakeholders' meeting in Akure recently, I was not there but the report I got from our people was that the AIG who came, Rahman Akano, appeared to be above board in his poise to maintain peace in this state. I was told he put it frankly to the Commissioner of Police that he should provide a level playing ground and that it is not for him to take sides in this matter. Speaking on what we should do to stop the violence and maintain the peace, I think we should campaign against it. The incumbent governor is moving with thugs; he enjoys seeing them around him. Every stakeholder should appeal to him to stop that attitude or else we will meet force with force and fire for fire.


What actually happened on the day of the ACN congress when your supporters clashed with LP at their secretariat?

What happened after the congress was they attacked us first. I was there and I can say it anywhere. That was the day I was elected and because everybody was joyous. Our movement from the venue became a procession of so many vehicles. LP did not believe it would happen like that. As a result, they launched an attack on us. There was this LP driver that was claiming right of way and after several appeals, he refused to yield. That was how the trouble started. I was right there. If they said they were not prepared for us, how did they get the many stones and bottles they hauled at us? But as God would have it, there was a lady who said was selling beer or minerals opposite their gates and unfortunately for her, her empty bottles were right there. The boys simply went there and started hauling back at the aggressors. That was exactly what happened. One of our people was shot in the back and two of the vehicles in the rear of the convoy were seized by the LP thugs. So when we got to our campaign office, our boys went back and secured the release of the two vehicles. That was exactly what happened. If that vehicle had allowed us to move unhindered, I think the problem would have been avoided. You don't have to block the road and say you are claim your right in that situation, I guess the fellow did what he did because we were ACN and he was LP. That was wrong.

Suggestions or ideas, anyone?

I don't think it's a big deal that we Africans can't solve, but the people who govern we Africans are just too close to dumb. We africans see ourselves as enemy, won't think twice before making moves. Like a white S/African said, "we africans can't rule ourselves, and if we're given the opportunity we'll kill ourselves". Isn't it glaring it's true?!
A good example of this is that of Sudan. This country was the Africas biggest country, which is not up to four states in some countries of over 30 states outside Africa. But turned against themselves, fought with themselves, killed themselves and was broken up.
Isn't that shameful enough?
Our people need orientation. We need to know the world doesn't end where we are.
We need to learn from ours and others mistakes. We need to stop seeing ourselves as inferior.
Of course it's getting late, but I wish we change before we finally lost it.

Na so them make mouth of taking Lagos by 2011, not knowing that was the year PDP would be buried in Oyo and Ogun . I'm surprised they haven't learnt from that of Edo
They better prepare not to loose the ones they're in control of presently and forget about S/West + Edo.
Clueless party

Nairastake: [b]Oh! I 4got. The house rent and lands are cheap. U can get a room of 800naira/mnth. Though mine is 18k/yr which will cost me not less than 70k in Enugu. And a land in site goes for 250k. Outskirt, u can get a land as cheap as 50k inside dis capital city. Reason being under development. Check out,
therez abt 3&half or less universities here. UniOsun which was scattered in2 more than three locations, O.A.U co owned with Ondo, LAUTH, and Fountain University. I always mention Enugu cuz is my base. Enugu has over 30 Universities/Polythecnics.
Is in Osun state that I first saw a grandmother of Age 29yrs, am being honest here. A boy of 15yrs (that looks to me as if he's 12) once raped a girl in a private school. The teachers fear too much that they hardly punish students, reason being that most of them come to school with charm. Yes! I've witnessed it. A grand woman of upto 90yrs came to our school topless jst to set her eyes on a corper that punished her grand child. (You can tell her mission more than I). They're gud in that area. They're also gud in pregnating under-age girls. The girls charm corpers with whateva they rub on their faces. The rate of under age girls getting pregnant is 90% here. U hardly see a girl above 20 without a child. Am sorry when I say that finding a neat chick here is like trecking from zamfara to Enugu. Any neat girl u meet on the way must surely be a corper.[/b]
I will upload my own version of pics later.

Please don't say what u don't know.

@Nairastake
You're correct about some of the things you highlighted.
You're comparing Oshogbo to some other cities in Nigeria, isn't that unfair? The state was cropped out of Oyo 1991. And I'll tell you that states created that same year or after are not many that beat Osun, not talking of oil producing states. So please spare the state.

I know most of you guys that blame Aregbe and criticizes most of his moves, isn't it because he didn't give people space to chop money any how? my bro get used to him. I'm sure you're one of those peeps who praises the former guy(Oyinlola), because he spends lavishly

graluxxy054: Wats special about these pictures? I thought I'd see beautifull houses and hotels. All I can see is roads that's just the same as the one that's in front of our house.
Pls u guyz should show me somthing that wud make me wanna com visit

I'll try better next time. Most of them were taken from inside a vehicle.
