Picture Of Maternity Ward In Igun Hospital In Osun Under Aregbesola

Poverty everywhere

Like Owu-Epe, Igun lacks a functional hospital, a secondary school, potable water, roads and other basic social amenities that make life worthwhile despite being blessed with so much gold. The people live in poverty, wuth daily survive. Many households survive on less than N500 a day. The bulk of that sum goes into providing water and food ingredients. To support their families, many women have taken to petty trading in Ilesa while the men sign up to menial jobs in nearby towns.

Peter Oluduro, another leader in the town told Saturday PUNCH that successive administrations at every level of governance have done nothing to address their sufferings. He said they have been left at the mercy of illegal miners who invade their land and steal their common wealth – gold.

“If our government were sincere, our community would have been very beautiful going by all the promises they have made to us. We have benefitted nothing from the government over the years despite all the wealth that has been taken from our land.

“There is nothing in our hospital which is about 50 years old. There is no single drug there. The health workers don’t even come regularly because there is nothing for them to work with. My daughter who fell into labour recently was rushed to Ilesa because the hospital cannot even take care of her. The situation is that bad,” he said.

But while residents in places like Owu-Epe, Igun and Ijana decry the destruction of their environments and sources of livelihoods, things are not also completely rosy for the young men who dig through their farmlands every day, hoping to hit gold. For many in this category, the search for the precious metal and hope of a better life often end in total disappointment, sometimes disaster.

“I was introduced to this business when I was 15 by my brothers,” Hassan Ahmed, 23, told our correspondent who stumbled on him and his gang in the forest through the help of a commercial motorcyclist who understands the terrain. “Two of them died in Niger State when the pit they were inside collapsed on them,” he continued. “Before we noticed and could rescue them, they were dead already. It was a bad experience for me as a little boy then but it did not make me stop the job because I have to survive.

“Recently, I was badly injured when a pit I was inside collapsed on me. I still feel pains all over my body but I have to continue or else there would be no food for me. If I am able to raise enough money to buy a motorbike, I would leave this job,” he said.

Ahmed had a deep cut on his palm when he climbed out from one of the pits on the field. A sharp object had inflicted a two-centimeter wound on his right hand while sifting through mud in search of the precious metal. With no analgesic within reach, he simply tied a rag on the cut, before hitting it hard with a small stick.

“That would stop the bleeding,” he said, turning to our correspondent with a friendly gaze. “This is part of what we face every day on this job. Many of us did not attend school and so this is the only means we know by which to feed ourselves. But I don’t plan to continue with this job for long, it is killing me gradually,” he said.

At 27, Sanni Mohammed, is another young man whose hope of an instant jackpot at Owu-Epe’s gold field is gradually turning into frustration. Journeying from Kaduna to the area in search of a new life, Yusuf told Saturday PUNCH that the trade is no longer as lucrative as it used to be.

“On several days we dig for hours without finding a trace of gold. But sometimes when luck smiles on us, we could leave the field with N2, 000 each. But for several weeks now, all we get after digging for so long is not more than N1, 200 when sold. By the time the group shares the money, each person could get around N300, it is from that money that we feed and buy drugs,” he said.

Obinoscopy ishilove lalasticala do the needful

mrmetoo1:
No dey lie na. They're just 500 and the traffic is hell.. make up your mind the lie you want to stick to. How do only 500 cause hellish traffic.

Anyway enjoy the pictures.. you might need to go back to school to learn to count

chukwudi44:
One million ko one hundred ni.The number of people in those pics cannot be more than 500.This shows Lagosians and Nigerians as a whole have rejected the terrorist party.Am sure even their leaders like Tinubu and his stooges would be riding in AC cars leaving their gullible followers to do the trekking

mrmetoo1:
They're not as fine as Dubai.. not yet but they're working towards it. Go check out Eko Atlantic, the plans and the development going on there now. Soon an APC state will produce a Dubai in Nigeria.

$90m loan spending: FOI Act not applicable to Lagos •Fashola tells court

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has told a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos that he intended to file a preliminary objection challenging the suit by a civil society group, seeking to compel him to release information relating to how government spent the $90 million loan obtained for improving public schools in the state.

The state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Ade Ipaye, at the resumed hearing in the matter before Justice Saliu Saidu, hinted of the government’s intention to challenge the suit, in addition to a counter-affidavit he earlier filed in opposition to the suit.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) instituted the suit against Fashola and Ipaye, and prayed the court to compel the governor to disclose how the loan allegedly obtained from the World Bank for education in the state was spent.

SERAP had argued that it resorted to suing the governor and the Attorney-General after the government refused to honour its letter dated December 1, 2013, requesting for the information brought in pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2011.

But Ipaye had, in a counter-affidavit, opposed the suit, arguing that the FoI Act was not applicable to Lagos State, because the law was a federal legislation.

We can't complete Lagos light rail project

We obviously can't complete Lekki international phantom airport.

And you will be the biggest fool to think that we can complete Eko Atlantic.

Use your head people where do you think we are getting all the money we are using to sponsor Buhari

Are you talking about this Lagos state ruined by 16 years of APCheat mkleptocracy

- where IGR increased over 34 times from N7.2 billion in 1999 to N246 billion in 2013.

However,

- the number of schools, classrooms, libraries, laboratories, teachers, school administrators etc did not increase much.
- the number of health clinics and general hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, physiotherapists, hospital administrators etc did not increase much.
- basic TAP water coverage of the households and businesses in the entire state did not increase much.
- the number of kilometres of FEEDER roads repaired, expanded did not increase much.

Instead

- we have LASU fees hiked from N25,000 to N250,000.
- Lekki road, built with public funds tolled without any significant improvement of the road itself.


One must be crazy to praise, adore, worship, exalt these band of rogues masquerading as agents demons of change.

And you know how stubborn goats can get when you try to chase them away from yam.

jomoh:
You're right morsi is gone but the change has been achieved. If Buhari gets there and fails just like morsi then the people kick him out again.

If you decide to change nothing, Nothing will change.

Only a fool will keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

Oyo state has never voted for the same governor in its 16yrs of democracy now the governors are starting to sit up and if APC should fumble in the state we won't hesitate to kick them out. Even as it stands, its not sure for anyone including the incubent governor.

Forwetinnah:
According to Gbawe. ..APC is working .

Which Aregbesola is this one referring to? Aregbesola that can't pay workers since September last year, Aregbesola that cancelled PTA levy in schools but cannot provide running grant for such schools. All what you hear is propaganda. Imaging the lamentation below from somebody from Osun state and tell me what stand the so called Aregbesola out of his mate.
" Who will come to the rescue of the indigenes of
Osun State(State of Osun). Things are getting
worse each day. Pensioners are dying due to the
fact that pensions have not been paid since
September 2014. Workers are not getting their
salaries as at when due, Contractors are owed.
Even artisans are idle, likewise the traders.
Cooperative society that serves as backup for
many workers have been drained. Many pathetic
stories of children of the civil servants that
forfeited admissions into tertiary institutions due to
the inability to pay the tuition fee. The education is
nothing to write home about. Schools were unable
to write first term exams due to the fact that no
running grant from the government, second term is
likely to follow suit except the teachers agree to
write exams on the chalkboard. I even heard that
the situation on ground affects the corpers serving
in the State. If this is the consequence of our sins I
guess it is too much to bear. With all our
experience in Osun it make me to hate APC as a
party"
