Thanks o jare.
The guy thinks he is smart when he is actually the exact opposite.

On the contrary, you have comprehension challenges

Read my post above, to help yourself

davodyguy:
I don't want to call you dumb, but you're acting like one.

I've told you to look up couple meanings, which simply may be beyond your comprehension.

Original post says lots of things like

1)
Contrary to claims by the governor, the Federal Government has indeed been supporting the state government in meeting its financial obligations including paying its workers.

Note that support is not statutory ( that's if you understand)

Fayose kept mute and some of such numerous supports have been received and continuously been received.

Calling out fayose, would continually pretend that 'nothing go came out of Nazareth' isn't a bad idea or was it?

So, my post, I hope he can say thank you to Buhari for the first time, should help you out of your misery

Keep your misery to yourself.
Who is a bloody journalist to define what payment is support to a state government?
Who are you to interpret such JOURNALISTICALLY defined support as extra statutory?
A rational Nigerian should be worried that our president is doing things that are not statutory with our money. That is a ground for IMPEACHMENT ordinarily.
It is also CORRUPTION!!!
I guess that most of us are too lawless to bother.

Lol. Let me show you some part of me

You're the mysterious one here

Are you for real? Abeg stop this childishness. Define support and distinguish same from statute

seguno2:

You're a big joker. Do you know the difference between gift, grant and loan? Tell me what an independent state is entitled to in a federal system of Government

What and what did he do that are ultra vires?

seguno2:

I agree with you 100%

He talks about other people's fault, but he also has his own fault, the same federal government that ekiti state has benefitted from, he still talks bad about them, to me i will advice him to focus more on the job he was voted for.

Thanks.
What is the contribution of Katsina state where Buhari claims?

Agriculture.. a good amount of the food we eat comes from the north and that includes katsina.
My frnd pls if u knw what ekiti has added to the growth of this country pls share.

dotedote:
Constitutional entitlement from a president that cares. Would anyone from Ekiti as a whole try half of the rubbish (he's trying with PMB) with OBJ? Hell No!
If the 8.8 was slashed to 2.2 would heaven fall? NO. Sometimes you act responsibly not because you want to but because you need to. A lot of kids that are growing are the everywhere looking at you.

I don't get you. Are you saying constitutional rights especially to an entire state is at the mercy of the president's emotion? This is unbelievable! The fact that we have had president's in the past(like obj you quoted) that abused the office does not mean that their attitude is to be used as a yardstick for the "norm" especially for a government that came in riding on the wings of a "change" campaign, it is unfortunate that a lot of Nigerians have been moulded mentally to believe that abuse of power is the norm, that is why few of us that still know what "ideal" is, will need to keep speaking out when we can for the sake of the kids growing up and watching us, before they get misguided. Thank you.

I wonder what your objective is?
What % of the money shared monthly to the 774 LGAs and 36 states from the federation account comes from this your agriculture of Katsina state?
And who told you that there is no agriculture going on in Ekiti state involving cocoa that contributes to the Federation Account?

He remains one of best Governor in Nigeria Today.

Although the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose regularly bashes the Federal Government, the financial solvency of the state has depended largely on the Buhari presidency which recently approved an N8.8b share of the Paris loan refund to the state.

Contrary to claims by the governor, the Federal Government has indeed been supporting the state government in meeting its financial obligations including paying its workers.

The state government has received financial support in different forms, from the Federal Government, since the inception of the Buhari administration.

The findings also indicated that the state government’s improved financial position was made possible by recently received N8.8 billion from the Federal Government as part of its share of the Paris loan refund.

This is in addition to the budget support facility given by the Federal Government to some states of the federation, which the state government has consistently been receiving.

Findings also reveal that the state spends an estimated N2.6 billion on salaries, subvention, pension and gratuity monthly which would not have come from internally generated revenues.

According to a report published recently by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Ekiti state is one of the states with the lowest internally generated revenue, which was put at N3.3 billion yearly.

From the federation account, the state receives an average of about N1.6 billion monthly.

Based on available data, suffice it to say that the state would not have been able to meet its obligation without other assistance which came mostly from the federal government.

Data from the Ministry of Finance indicate that the Paris Club Loan is merely a fraction of the kind of support the state gets from the Federal Government.

Under the fiscal sustainability plan, the state got N1.3 billion in the first three months then N1.1 billion in subsequent months since it began in June, 2016.

A recent comment published by Sahara Reporters confirms the fact that the state government has largely been dependent on the Federal Government to meet most of its financial obligations, contrary to claims by the governor.

According to the comment, “Ekiti state was once a proud producer of Igbemo Rice. Incidentally, Igbemo Ekiti is the next town to Fayose’s village, Afao Ekiti.

“So, he should tell Nigerians why his government of stomach infrastructure has failed to revitalize the Igbemo rice factory which was once a pride of the Ekiti people.’’

The author of the comment queried why governor Fayose had failed to utilize the state’s comparative advantage in agriculture.

He posed pertinent questions about the governor’s failure to partner with other states to boost agricultural production in the state.

The author asked: “Has the governor of Ebonyi state not increased rice production to the extent that the state is selling rice to other states right now?’’

“Is the lousy governor of Ekiti state not aware that the government of Governor Akin Ambode of Lagos State decided to partner with Governor Bagudu of Kebbi state for the production of rice?

“Is Mr. Fayose not aware that the partnership has created opportunities for Lagosians to buy a bag of rice in Lagos at N12, 000 while it is sold at N20,000 in Fayose’s land of empty stomach infrastructure?’’

On their part, workers in the state have at different forum in 2016 appealed to the governor to use funds released by the Federal Government to clear their salary arrears.

What nonsense is this? Is ekiti state no longer in Nigeria?

temitemi1:
while buhari the class captain of dummies

And you the headmaster shey?

When all the states were getting the initial intervention fund from fg,including APC states in the southwest,it was and is still only the Ekiti state governor who was paying salaries in full.....I mean full salaries. Not a fraction of salaries as done by other APC states in the southwest; some pay half dubbed 'afusa' while some paid quarter and 3quarter,while still deducting full taxes! Fayose paid full salaries.
Fine,we never heard of the fund coming to Ekiti from him,but,he still went ahead to pay 2months full salaries not long ago while other APC states in the southwest were still busy boasting of paying 6months afusa and quarter-sa.
Now tell me,who is better and who should be quizzed? All of them needs to be questioned, but then, we need to start the questioning from thier governors who despite the huge monies they have been collecting, which is more than the fraction Ekiti state got,still went on to pay a fraction of salaries to their workers while still taxing them full taxation. To me,that's wickedness and hypocrisy on the part of the fg agent who actually wrote this post.
Thank you.

The writer is obviously ignorant, Ekiti State is collecting what is legitimately it's share from the federation account, ascribing it to a benevolent Buhari is absolutely untrue. States were overdeducted for Paris Club debt payment, and now they are being refunded, which means the money belongs to the states ab nitio.

Let's be guided, Money in the Federation account belongs to all arms of Government, and not the Federal Government.

Emyres:
FAYO-SHOW.


WHAT else?

Next, he will steal most of it.

what do you expect from Fayose an empty barrel no be to make the highest sound.

This is the reason why Nigeria is where it is today. Do you know how many times PMB has given bail-out funds to governors to pay outstanding salaries of workers in the states? And the governors like fayose refused to use the money for payment of outstanding salaries because he sees himself as an emperor that nobody can challenge. I am from Ekiti state and I know what I am talking about. If you have families that are civil servants and you understand what they are passing through, you will not be talking this trash here.

OpinionCounts:
Please, is this money generated by the federal government and dashed to Ekiti or is it not their constitutional entitlement, just like the way the federal government is giving money generated from different resources from different states, like oil from the Niger delta.

Adminisher:
Fayose s the most empty Governor in Nigeria. He is actually worse than two governors in the North and one in the middle belt that are in the extremely BAD category.

I have been watching this guy for some time. Completely lacking ideas or executive ability. Without Buhari who gives him an avenue to be visible, he is nothing

Truth be said he is better than your whole generation .

i am not surprised about your response because people like you lack quality response to questions thats is why you easily abuse people instead of responding. What have i said here that that you find it difficult to understatnd . Lets talk facts here and stop being childish. You can not give what you dont have.

OpinionCounts:
I don't exchange words with nonentities because even if I do it will be fruitless because of your appalling low level of understanding.
