[size=15pt]Ondo Promotes 2,000 Workers as Pensioners Screening Begins Monday[/size]


Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has approved for promotion next month, over 2,000 officers of the state’s civil service who have been interviewed and screened.

The state’s Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade made the revelation in Akure on Sunday while speaking with journalists in company with the secretary of the state’s Civil Service Commission, Pastor Niran Adeyemo.
The commissioner said officers on Grade Level 6 going to 7 went through physical interviews while those from Grade Level 7 to 15 were interviewed by the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) but were screened by the commission.

Giving more details about the exercise, the secretary to the Civil Service Commission, Adeyemo, said the interview and screening of the officers have started since the 10th of November this year, adding that the exercise covered all levels and cadres and had been concluded on November 17th.
According to him, “We have started because it is a process with the state management committee, office of the establishment and the civil service commission which is the statutory body to give promotion to eligible officers”

He therefore commended the governor for approving the promotion of the civil servants despite the economic challenges being confronted by the state’s government.
Adeyemo put the number of officers who went through physical interview from the Grade level 6 going to 7 at 205 while those from level 17 are 1, 800.

Meanwhile, the state government will today, 23rd of November, commence verification exercise for retired officers to complete data update of the state civil service which commenced with the serving officers in August 2015.

According to the state’s Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, who doubles as the Chairman of the verification committee, Mr. Akin Adaramola, the exercise will commence today with the pensioners in the core civil service.
He said the government considered the age of the pensioners and has provided adequate measures to ensure that the exercise is hitch-free and less stressful.
Adaramola noted the exercise is not to reduce cost of governance, but to update the data of the state and described it as part of the “i am alive” exercise of the pensioners.

“This is the second leg of the verification exercise, and its for the pensioners on the payroll of the Ondo State Government, that is, those who retired from the core civil service, MDAs.
“The second group are secondary school pensioners, both teaching and non-teaching staff, when we finish that, we will move to the local government, as well as primary school teachers, they constitute what we call pensioners on Ondo State payroll and we are starting that today,” he mentioned.

Besides, I am wearry of pastors said this, imam said that people. If anything, I love my peace of mind.


How do you feel the person you mentioned fill into this category?

Quite perfectly. She's just misunderstood, I'm sure she's a nice person offline.

With her, you'll laugh a lot and be happy.

She's stubborn, independent, and well...... anyway.... you have to make compromises on cultured and peace of mind.

I think I'd wanna go the Egba road again, because of the one that stole my heart. Iku bola je. Iku se ika fun mi gan. I don't think tpiah and I are compatible. She might be a really nice person in life, but she's paranoid. I just can't compromise peace of mind, nobody should. I have some recommendations from friends, but I prefer to make my own experience, else, my Sisters would have found me someone already.

Sounds good. Choice made by self is a choice at happiness. You sound like a humble/reserved/quiet person. Those are characteristics women yearn for. You'll find your mate eventually. It's a journey, not a race. smiley

May her soul rest in peace. cry I've only known egba men....can't speak for the ladies, but the men are awesome. Their women are sure to share the same characteristics. [cc Egbagirl]

As a Yoruba person, I kind of ni igbagbo ninu Olorun, sugbon sha, mi o wa religious at all. And due to the circumstance of the death of my lady, my doubt kind of grown big, because she was a very religious person, and has brought me to praying again. We prayed together in the night prior to the day of her sudden and unexpected death.

Awwww, sound so sad. <virtual hug>

I lost a friend too and it contributed to my doubt in God. It's always the good ones that go. It's crushing! I was angry, mad and scared.

Take comfort in the fact that Eledumare [Yoruba god] is out there and watching over us. Eleda wa, ori wa, n so wa.

I'm really sorry about your experience.

Well, yeah, somehow reserved, and humble, but some might view it differently, because the Leo in me does roar sometimes. I am relatively quiet, but not dull. You know, I was almost two decades with a German woman, before I went the African way, so this all played a role in the way I see things.

You sound like an oyinbo. They were not fighting, but were having a funny discussion. I think I may have a recording of meself on youtube speaking Ilaje. It's an old recording, so I have to dig through Youtube.

Regarding Ilaje names, some of our names are written in the standard Yoruba language, while others maintain their distinctive Ilaje flair.

Here are some Ilaje names:
Emiloju - Emi lo ju
Meseghan - Mi o se won
Mabamije - Ma bami je
Oloronjughan - Olorun ju won
Oraise - Ori ti ko se
Emopin - A ko mo opin
Omawunmi - Omowunmi (Isekiri write OMAWUMI)
Molewato
Ayanfe

The names are taken from my family. My own name is also among.

Lene - ta lo ni (was a most Reverend Apostle of the Zion Movement. Ilaje are traditionally adherent of the Cherub and Seraph church)
Megbodofo - Mi o gbudo so
Elebiju - eniti o lebi lo ju
Ebiesuwa - Ebi o se iwa
Ojagbohunmi - ilu gbohun mi (Ilajes call "ilu" Oja, and call "oja" obon. Mo nlo si oja ni Ilaje ni: Mo mi yu obon. Mo nlo si ilu a je: Mo mi yu oja. Ago ni a npe abule ni Ilaje.
Semudara - was also a popular priest/prince

Before, the Ilaje gospel singers of the seventies and eighties used to sing in Ilaje, but they now use the standard Yoruba to appeal to more audience.
I wished I took my audio cassettes with me when I left Nigeria in the days of yore.

My brother you know when this thread was first created, I was like " oh another ethnic/tribal bashing thread". You know the norm in this politics section. So initially i didn't pick any interest on the thread and didn't also see any reason to drop a comment here. But to my utmost surprised, such things as ethnic chauvinism, names callings and throwing tantrums was fortunately absent which was a plus for the success of this thread.

I will say kudos to you and even to the contributors(some who I thought were bigots,lol) for keeping everything very mature here, In due time, my own little quotas will be drop here. Oluwa bless again cheesy

Can we discuss the recent happening in Kogi and the effect it will have on the political balance of the state, Oodua nation and nigeria as a whole?...
Recap:
Prince Audu, the projected winner of the gubernatorial election lost his life before or after INEC declared the election inconclusive thereby throwing up a lacuna never for once experienced in this nation.
Posers:
What next?
Referring to the case of Ameachi, Omehia Vs PDP or Atiku, Boni Haruna Vs INEC, can we safely say that his running mate should take up his mandate, conclude the election and possibly rule thereby breaking the age long Igala dominance?
Can the APC replace him with another?
What's in it for the PDP?
By the way, the running mate is James Faleke an Okun man(Yoruba).

Over to legal luminaries, political activists and the whole house...
