Fayoshe behaves like a kid who is only concerned about the present happenings, that's never interested in the future which the very diligent and smart ones prepare for. Especially in politics, that's not just about sharing of jollof rice.

OAM4J:
Wetin concern you for APC matter?

Are you now an APC member/supporter? I thought you are a TANoid

Who won't be envious of a party where true democracy is being practiced? APC is actually setting the pace. Many neutral Nigerians are impressed with the way APC is practicing true democracy, void of imposition.

django1, that's premier hotel far away in the pix below, I learnt a new and more luxurious hotel is being built on a hill not far from it. Something "wood" is the name. Got details on that?

Quite impressive. I only pass by and admire the huge fountain, I've never thought of taking my time to check in.

Ajimobi is truly changing the face of IB city, but he has relaxed in his strict ways against dirtiness, because of 2015 election. Iwo road is returning to its old dirty ways, with motorists parking under the bridge.

That governor has also tried in attracting investors and investments to the city, at least I know of five new malls in Ib today. Foodco opened their second mall like 3 months ago.

And who says if the governors allowed Mrs. Iweala to have her way with the savings of the excess gain then, they(FG) are gonna spend the money judiciously?
And not on some jamboree, like the unproductive national conference where each delegate got #13million? Or for campaign, like it was in Ekiti and Osun election?

Even though dude is oweing them

Osun Civil servants Welcome Aregbesola to Office first time after oath of office

*** Charges NBC to caution Omisore’s radio station.

-by Adebayo Rasheed Mabayoje

It was remarkable as Osun civil servants thronged on Governor Rauf Aregbesola on arrival at Bola Ige House- his office- the first time after taking oath for his second term as Osun governor.

The workers; led by the Head of Service, Sunday Owoeye were ecstatic as they sang praise songs- thanking God for bringing back the man that has brought various inovation that has impacted positively on Osun workers.

Governor Aregbesola took second oath of office last Thursday.

Addressing the workers, 5 he Osun governor noted that the song with which the workers welcomed him to office reminded him that three days was already out of his second term calender. He explained that he made a pronouncement after he took the Thursday oath to further develop the state with the speech of twenty years within the next four years of his new administration. He urged the workers to stand up to the task ahead.

Aregbesola thanked the workers for appreciating what was achieved by his government the first term.

And you prefer to vote for buhari? yorubas are very funny,if u vote gej out you think power will come back to the south in the next 30years time. useless tribe,una yeye d smell.

Who cares if the country is being ruled for the next hundred years by the Igalas?
We're talking about good governance and you're mentioning region.

The same Ooni that sent Tinapa away with ridiculous corrupt charges

But couldn't win Osun for his kinsman Omisore.

People Mr. Jonathan surrounds himself with are the architects of his ever dwindling approval, especially his advicers.

kokoA:
Dis APGA sef.. Even for sokoto na igbo candidate dem go present for election

That guy won't near politics in saner society. Unfortunately, it's a plus for APC in Oyo state if he truly joins the party.

At 19,was in part TW0!!!!!!!

Lol, was in my third year at 19, clocked 20 in my final semester in school.
19 yrs in highschool doesn't sound well.

If true, it'll be hard for Ladoja and his accord party to win in Oyo. Plus, PDP should forget Oyo in their agender.

generaldre:
Just I said yesterday in my post "AS GEJ STORMS OAU" OAU Students gave GEJ d treatment meted against OBJ. We're non-partisan but we support anyone with good credentials and leaders. We booed GEJ and we made sure he heard us. Inspite of the tight security, we blocked the road and made sure our letter got to him personally by hand before he left. He came to have meeting with council of obesity and shared money to them. Other politicians were there too. I sighted two sons of Obanikoro, PDP chairman (Adamy Muazu) and others. All in all, GEJ saw in people's eyes that we didn't like him.

Lol, I wonder who adviced Mr Jonathan to pick Osun of all SW states for such meeting. From the state governor to majority of the street guys, they ain't cool with PDP. They showed it in 2011 and same might be repeated in 2015.

Too many debtors in this country, only if the borrowed cash is spent on infrastructures that are productive for refund.
The shocking part is that of the oil producing states(Akwa-Ibom & Delta)with the highest allocation, low population, yet with high debt profile.

Mohammed Gadaffi.
Except for his greedy nature.

anonimi:
and just as important, these useless governors should stop STEALING from us. Can you imagine Aregberascal who is owing several months of salary to workers spending N1,000,000,000 (one billion) just to repaint a railway station in Osogbo

We don't even know how much he is spending on the PHANTOM airport in Osogbo.
And to think that the man is an "Engineer"! Chai!!!

How did we end up with such clueless people as our state governors

Pathetic if true. It's no doubt that many of them are in those positions for themselves and never for the populace. But what's left for the few aware voters is to choose between these rogues we call our leaders, the lesser devil. This is the case of Osun, and I think both the aware and unaware voters got it right voting for Aregberascal(the manageable rogue).

leo1234:
And Osun state pays workers well when compared to many States in Nigeria

Lol, Osun owes her civil servants two months salary, this month 'll make it three months. But still better when compared to states owing her workers salaries of 9months or even more with more or doubled monthly allocation.

Governors seriously should think deep and get off excess dependence on oil money.

One important criteria many ignore when assessing performances of state governors is monthly allocation.

Though I don't encourage too much dependence on monthly allocation.

APC blasts PDP for N700m inauguration allegation

The All Progressives Congress has described an allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party that it is planning to spend N700m on the inauguration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola as a reflection of the corruption inherent within the opposition party.

A statement by the Osun State chapter of the PDP, on Monday, accused the APC of planning to expend N700m on the inauguration of the governor coming up on Thursday.

The Director of Publicity of the PDP in Osun State, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, said this in a statement on Monday.

But the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Osun APC, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, described the allegation as untrue and pedestrian.

Oyatomi, in a statement, on Monday, said the “brazen enormity of the corruption being perpetrated under the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration is responsible for the PDP to think that all governments are corrupt.”

“It is unthinkable for anyone to allege that a state government is planning to spend N700m on such an event. What is the APC going to spend the N700m on? Printing of posters? Or buying water? The PDP should give a breakdown of how the N700m would be spent.”

Odeyemi said it was worrisome that while workers were being owed two month salaries, the governor was planning to waste N700m on the ceremony.

The PDP said, “Why is Aregbesola now finding it very difficult at the moment to pay workers? Is it true that the various banks the state is indebted to are slicing out the money accruable to Osun once funds are released to the state from the federation account? These are posers Aregbesola must quickly answer.

But the APC debunked the allegation saying, “Those in the leadership of the PDP need help. The PDP are enemies of the workers. Just today, Aregbesola empowered the workers of Osun with N2bn through the assistance of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The PDP was in power for seven and a half years, what did they do in Osun? They only left the masses impoverished.”

Meanwhile, the Osun State APC has called on its supporters to observe three days of fasting and prayers for the inauguration to be hitch-free.

Oyatomi said this in a statement on Monday.

The statement read, “The APC is calling on well-meaning citizens of the state and its supporters to observe three days of fasting and prayers from Tuesday for a smooth, peaceful and dignified second term inauguration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as the governor of the state.

“Osun State needs all the divine protection it can get against the machinations of people sworn to evil and brewed in violence, so that everything goes well.

“The people’s will in the state will always prevail against the kind of unofficial terrorism which Osun lived through before and after the August 9 election that confirmed a second term for Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.

“We, therefore, cannot afford to be complacent in a situation where lawlessness, impunity and reckless misuse of power appear to be the order of the day in a country that is precariously sliding into evil, darkness and man’s inhumanity to man for political, selfish and irresponsible desperation for power.”

Now tell me, how are these APC dis-honourables different from motor park touts.
The dude calling somebody a small boy and throwing tantrums is Hon Rotimi Makinde from Osun State.

GEJ was right when he said the southwest should not be left in the hands of rascals. Rotimi Makinde is a perfect example.

And leaving it in the hands of omisore, obanikoro, akala, gbenga daniel, bankole, bode george is the best option?

Those guys listed above are the true definition of rascals, radicals, robbers, criminals and killers. Their trackrecord is there for you to see.
These are the ones you wish Jonathan handover Southwest politics to?
Think!! Mr.

Even though Mr. Jonathan is a good family man, he has surrounded himself with the worste set of people; advisers, ministers, spokesmen...

Any further unreasonable move by the Lt. Sani Abacha's killerman i.e. Inspector General of the NPF on the Tambuwal, is a minus on GEJ's dwindling reputation, even if he has no hand in it.

Tambuwal has nothing to lose politically. His aspiration of becoming the governor of the caliphate state for the next eight years is almost certain.

...And those are the people making our laws.

Very straightforward, especially the last two paragraphs.

The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday urged his Ekiti State counterpart, Governor Ayodele Fayose, not to drag his (Oshiomhole) name into the “political gangsterism that has become peculiar with the Ekiti State Governor.”

Oshiomhole spoke in reaction to a statement credited to the Ekiti Governor that he (Oshiomhole) shut down the Edo State House of Assembly and relocated sitting to the Government House.

The Edo Governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Peter Okhiria, said that there was no crisis in state assembly, adding that 15 of the 24-member Assembly were members of the All Progressives Congress, while the other nine were of the Peoples Democratic Party.

He explained that of the nine PDP members, three were on suspension while the seat of another member had been declared vacant, which he said reduced the number of PDP lawmakers in the house.

While noting that decorum, respect and responsibility were elements of governance, Oshiomhole urged his Ekiti counterpart to “stop dropping the name of Governor Adams Oshiomhole to shore up his jaded image.”

Oshiomhole said, “We find it utterly laughable and as the height of political childishness for the Ekiti State Governor to hide behind his media aides and seek to drag the name of the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, into his crude gangster tactics which he has re-introduced into Ekiti politics, less than two months after assuming office.

“If the Ekiti Governor is too lazy to read and too politically illiterate to know what is happening in Edo State House of Assembly, we expected his psychedelic media aides to simply shut their loud mouths rather than behave like capering neophytes.

“Even a kindergarten knows that 15 is greater than 5. So if five PDP members decide to sit with three suspended members and another, whose seat was declared vacant in a chamber which is undergoing renovation, then we can at best regard that as the height of crass legislative irresponsibility.

“It is ridiculous to even contemplate that the Ekiti Governor and his media aides do not know that 15 is greater than five! For sure, they seem engrossed with their stomach infrastructure mantra, such a dubious contraption which can only be contrived by an ideologically clueless and gluttonous administration.

“But for the kind of democracy we practice in Nigeria, where the PDP promotes and condones all manners of illegalities, inanities and shenanigans which have become the second nature of that party, Ayodele Fayose would have been cooling off his heels in gaol rather than brandishing the appellation of being a Governor.

“We are thoroughly ashamed that Ekiti, hitherto known as the fountain of knowledge, is being reduced to a mindless bubble by a man running her affairs without a discernible direction like a drowning man clutching desperately at flotsam.

“If Ekiti people, with all their avowed sophistication and intellectuality, have elected to present a political rascal as their number one citizen, so be it; but they must understand that there is a huge difference between character and infamy.”

Youre a stupid and useless ambassador to any primary secondary or university if you attended one. If you ever attended a university they should withdraw the certificate you were given.

Sai equally is a name of a town in China, Romania, and in Japan. So by your analogy sai Buhari can also mean Chinatown buhari.

You're an empty head and a disgrace and embarrassment to a gathering of intellectuals. go thru the Wikipedia link you yourself posted and seek what it contain.

Yet you are still talking, the thing you carry about as a head isn't meant as a furniture it actually house a brain that is supposed to be used before talking.

You better seek medical treatment before you start tearing your cloths in public. Your utterance has shown.you're exhibiting early sign of derangement and schizophrenia which can lead to total madness if not handled properly.

Youre asking me the fulani meaning? Tot.you were speaking with authority earlier that it meant SWORD.

Idiotic and foolish slowpoke. I pity those around you

Omo mehn....
Wow!!!

The federal government doesn't necessarily translate to a location like it is for each state.
The federal government I believe spends most of her 52% monthly revenue on salaries and very few on projects across the states in the federation plus FCT.

I think the FG spends her 52% this way.
-The presidency takes the biggest chunk. (E.g. the N1b food taken by the first family as said)
-The ministers and their ministries.
-The law makers(highest paid on earth)

-Then salaries of salaries(forces, lecturers, doctors, and the likes...)

-The very few left is spent on few projects in the different states that the President and the governors have good relationship.

Gbawe:
Bro, performing administrators like Amosun will often have innovatively identified and proactively planned for what we want to see even if we are not aware of this. Yet we all know there is not enough funds to do everything at once. Would it surprise you to know that Ogun has already signed an MOU for a light rail network? Aside Lagos,Abuja, Rivers and one or two others, how many States, to include those receiving more FG allocation than Ogun, have plans for a modern light rail network in Nigeria? Amosun is simply one of the best Governors in Nigeria let us be honest. We all know more can be done but this is not for a lack of effort at all.

http://www.ogunstate.gov.ng/media-centre-66/ogun-news/366-towards-a-mega-city-amosun-signs-mou-on-light-rail-project.html

Good to know Amosun is on it.

MOBJECTIVE:
Impressive. Ogun is also the one building the best model schools ive seen.

I've seen those school buildings, at least two of them, close to completion. But I don't buy the idea of locating them far from town. It'll only be reasonable if it's not going to be day school(where students 'll have an hostel) or buses 'ld be provided to transport students to and fro daily.
