PoliticsAregbesola Visits Flooded Area In Osogbo (photo) by popesam1(op): 5:28am On Sep 15, 2016
Governor State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola, Wednesday, visited victims of flood and he expressed sympathy with those affected in Osogbo Osun state capital.
Areas affected by the flood include
Rasco, Gbomi, Oke-Onitea, Fiwasaye,
Obate where some of the residents’
properties were washed away.
Aregbesola in a statement by the
Director Bureau of Communication and
Strategy Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, was
quoted as speaking during his tour
of the affected areas.
The Governor said the flood occurrence took the state by surprise judging by the heavy investments of his administration on flood prevention since 2011.
“Considering our efforts in the past
at ensuring cleared waterways, we
never expected this. Our government
deeply regret the flooding that has
affected our people,” Aregbesola
told residents who came to listen to
his words of comfort at the scene.
Since 2011, the government had been
embarking on massive dredging of
waterways in all parts of the state
in order to stave off such disasters.
After the tour which took him to all
the areas affected Aregbesola said,
“I have moved round to commiserate
with the victims whose properties
were affected by this disaster.
“We have been quite committed to
ensuring absence of this calamity
since the advent of our administration as we have been regularly dredging the waterways on annual basis and as a matter of fact we are still very much indebted to those who normally work with us to ensure cleaning of our waterways.”
The governor attributed the development to what he called the
negative impact of people’s activities on the environment adding that a huge accumulation of wastes remains a major invitation to flood.
He said, This happens mostly when
the negative activities of the people
impact on the environment as we have
seen a huge accumulation of wastes
blocking the free flow of waterways.”
Pastor Dayo Oluwafunmi of the Christ
Apostolic Church Gbomi area while
speaking with Governor Aregbesola
during the tour commended the
governor for what he called the
government’s previous efforts at
preventing what used to be the annual disaster before the advent of the Aregbesola administration.
He said he was sure that the government had done well in preventing flood but for this latest one.

TravelCalabar Electric Light Rail Ready For Inauguration (Photo) by popesam1(op): 1:27pm On Aug 30, 2016
Built by Ponet TFZE, the train with a cruising speed of about 40 kilometres per hour, has 12 cars, including 10 passenger and two equipment cars.

The multi-billion Naira Calabar Light rail project, the first in Nigeria, would soon be inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The 12-car monorail system, when fully operational, would use an Intamin P8 electric powered passenger shuttle train to convey passengers from Tinapa Resort, across Lake Tinapa to Calabar International Conference Centre (CICC).

The monorail would also allow access to Studio Tinapa, Tinapa Shopping Centre and Tinapa waterpark as well as provide a quick alternative access to Summit Hills.

Each car is primed for seven to eight passengers all seated, while the train’s length, width and height are approximately 38, 1.95 and 2.2 metres, respectively.

Gov. Ben Ayade had recently told journalists in Calabar that Buhari would inaugurate the train to mark his first year in office.

Mr Mba Mba, the station’s Electrical Engineer, said the light rail project was completed in December last year.

“Right now, the Calabar Monorail is ready for use pending inauguration by appropriate authorities.

“We have test-run the system and confirmed its readiness. Gov. Ben Ayade was here with his team to see for himself what is on ground.

“Tourists troop here on daily basis to take a ride. But they were disappointed as they were turned back.

The light rail project has three stations, Tinapa, Tinapa Lakeside Hotel and the Calabar International Conference Centre.

As shared by Facebook user Efe Okposio. He wrote in his Facebook wall, Some weeks ago I drove into the Mobil filling station on Teaching Hospital rd Gwagwalada Abuja to get fuel. Unknown to me 30k dropped off the car when I opened the door. Whe I got to my next stop to pick some things I discovered the money way missing. After driving around for about 30min I decided to check the filling station. When I asked Esther the fuel attendant about the money. She just stepped into their office and brought my 30 thousand. She could have denied seeing the money and I couldn't have suspected her. But sh brought the money out. 30k is her two months salary but she rose above it. So when next you're in Gwagwalada Abuja and your fuel is running low. Stop by at Mobil filling station on Teaching hospital rd. Ask of Esther and give her a good tip.

PoliticsMy Removal As National Secretary Destroys PDP - Oyinlola by popesam1(op): 8:28am On Aug 27, 2016
Two years after he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola has said his removal from the PDP led to its downfall from power. The former governor disclosed this while answering,questions on an Osogbo based radio station, Rave FM programme named Frank Talk, on Friday to mark the 25th anniversary of the creation of the state. He lamented that he was left alone by the PDP members in Osun state during his trial and travail in the party. Oyinlola said: “As a leader, I advised Iyiola Omisore to shelve the ambition of running for governorship, because I believe he has an albatross on his neck that would not allow us to scale through. “But Omisore ignored my advice, went ahead to contest and got the result he deserved. “Later he came to meet me in Abuja that he would love to contest. That was what caused the whole mess. Omisore became uncomfortable and when he realized that my position as the secretary of the party might disturb his ambition,Omisore pitched his tent with Goodluck Jonathan and worked for my removal. “Many prominent people, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Senate President David Mark and others pleaded on my behalf but the president refused. That was what led to the formation of new PDP. “Where were Osun PDP members when I was being ridiculed as a member of the National Executive Committee of the PDP, being asked to appear before disciplinary committee and illegal disciplinary committee in Osun State? Where were they? They were all laughing and mocking me. “They were conducting the affairs of the party in the state without reference to Oyinlola because they felt Oyinlola was of no electoral value. It was until when they wanted to start campaign that they came to meet me, after my suspension as the party’s national secretary has been enacted. “They came to me because there was nothing for them to campaign with. What did Omisore do as senator? It is the worse era that PDP had in Osun, that is the truth. “Where were these people that say I should not decamp when all these things were happening? “When the entire national working committee of the APC visited me in Okuku and pleaded with me to join the new movement, the PDP people were there doing nothing. They were so sure that with the dollar money and other things, they would get things in their favour. They have forgotten that the law will not allow anybody to do anything funny. “It is my own personal conviction to join politics and decamp to the APC. Those who believe in me followed me to the APC. It is my personal decision to be a politician and when I see that issues are not going to favour me and the people I represent, I took a good decision. “It is not about how many of them approached me when I was removed as PDP national secretary illegally, not even a protest came from Osun State. None! Oyinlola was left alone in the battle. I went to court of appeal and even to the President, nothing changed. “Let me remind our people that it was the removal of Oyinlola as secretary that led to the movement of those PDP governors that left th party for the APC. I warned them- the PDP! I made a press statement on the 13th of November 2013 where I told them pointedly that if I don’t return as secretary of the party, the PDP would stop being a ruling party. “And I said the party would tear from top to bottom. God is answering the prayer now. After I made that statement, the next thing I heard from Chief Babatope was that Oyinlola was playing God. I told them that I was not playing God; that they are the ones that have cheated the son of God and he will fight for me. God is doing that happily. “When I was moving to APC, I told my followers that I am not moving because of political appointment. God has been so good to me in my life. If you look at my life from beginning, who would have thought that an orphan at 9 years of age would grow up to become what the Lord has made me to be. “I am contented with what I am at any given time. As of today, I have no children in school that am paying for. When I was offered the position of House of Assembly after joining APC, I made sure I gave it to those we met in the party, because I don’t want my first benefit in the party to be found in my pocket. “I have been governor for 10 years in Nigeria. If not for gluttonous attitude, a cow’s head is enough to take cassava flour. How many people in Nigeria have the grace of God to have governed two states? Whether you like it or not, I was a governor in Lagos and Osun States. To God be the glory “My wish and prayer is that the good Lord will continue to prosper us an allow us to achieve the dreams of our forefather who founded the state
