wahab63: YOu have never seen it and yet Heavance: He has been seeing it since 2015 So who is lying? Fact is that bridge has been under construction for long and there is no way you will not see on your way to Ife from Ikire And Gbongan is between those tow towns |

Y0ruba:Boss why now Are you really asking me how the state will benefit from agric? Are the farmers not indigenes of the state? What about the employment opportunities, the people that will be employed across the value chain? That aside, the government can subsidize the cost of inputs at the beginning of the farming year with an agreement to buy all the produce after harvest. Isn't that a viable source of revenue generation? You seem to be more concerned about the state paying back the workers...The man recently promised he will do that before he leaves. Mind you he is only owing 25% of the workers (Level 8 or so and above). He probably didn't manage the issue of the workers well enough, but that doesn't remove the fact that he has developed Osun state within his last 8 years. No be everybody for Osun state be civil servants now. |

I don't understand how majority of the contributors did not get the point @YOruba was trying to make. These and many more by Ogbeni are laudable projects. The ones he did in Osogbo are great. The bridge and the detour to ring road from Secretariat road is long overdue. The detour to ilesa garage will ease traffic once completed. But this trumpet bridge is not needed by osun state right now. And unless osun state has plans to make money from this gargantuan project, I would say it is a white elephant project. Let me build my case pls. 1. Ibadan to Ife/ilesa to akure is a federal road. One beautiful thing about osun state is that this road is just outside the major towns of osun state. The road passes just on the side. NB. Gbogan is not a major town. From this express road, you will have to travel inwards, either left or right to go to Osogbo, ife, and ilesa. Since this road didn't enter any major town per se (like Lagos -Ibadan express way enters Ibadan city), traffic will always be free and smooth at the entry and exits of these major towns. So the trumpet bridge clearly was not needed. 2. Building a case for the capital city, Osogbo. Osogbo is so centralised that there are about 4 entry/exit points into the town. a. From ilesa b. From Ife/Moro/sekona to ede to osogbo c. From gbogan d. From Iwo These four routes are utilised by people coming from lagos/Ibadan and akure/ondo/oore e. From ikirun For commuters from offa/Ilorin/ Niger state. One can see how there are options for commuters depending on where you are coming from and where you are going (if you have to pass through Osogbo) 3. Pls we know the textbook importance of infrastructures like good roads. But a more sensible project to embark upon is to upgrade the aforementioned entry/exit roads into quality double lane roads. NB. I stay in ilesa, had my secondary school education in ikirun and completed my bachelor's in Ife. So unless you stay in osun state, you wouldn't know that the abovementioned roads are as bad as the roads that lead to stream in your villages. So you would agree with YOruba that unless there is a specific and strategic need for this trumpet bridge, this might be ogbeni's greatest scandal in his 8 year rule in osun. 4. ... for a better and a more pleasurable tomorrow. Since 2015 or 2016, Ogbeni has been paying part salaries to the state employed workers. He couldn't fulfil osun's commitment to Lautech. There are some positives too; the mega schools he built. But if this trumpet bridge was one of the reasons why osun workers were denied full benefits over the years, then the bridge better attract investors, provide jobs for the unemployed youths and maybe someday, a world marathon event is done in the state with this trumpet bridge as the route. 5. ...Gbogan, the industrial hub of osun state? Was there any pressure on the exit from gbogan to Osogbo? No there was none. Gbogan's population is probably less than 300,000 or just around this figure. Is gbogan town industrialised which may have led to any congestion experienced in the town? No. Will Gbogan ever become industrialised? Yes of course. But unless, Ogbeni has this in his immediate plans or has signed some MOU with some investors to come site their companies in Gbogan, then, the timing of this trumpet bridge is wrong. I can go on and on. But to do any form of criticism here, I might be relegated into the IPoB league and I don't want this. "Ona baba ona", the super roads in built in ilesa, Ife didn't last up to 1 year before they got damaged. Why not do standard roads and come back in 5/6 years only to do small maintenance and repairs? Why not leverage on the strengths of osun state especially, the human resources available, the good arable lands, proximity to Ogun and Lagos, why not collaborate with the governments of Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, and may be ondo to link the States via high speed rail networks? Why not leverage on the rich culture and heritage and also peaceful atmosphere of osun to make it the number one tourist destination in Nigeria? I rest my fingers here. 4 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=Y0ruba post=64098839] Very laughable comment. In relation to the socio-economic perculiarities of the state how has he done well? Newly constructed roads & proper road network are good stuff but how do these roads contribute to the purse of the state & economic upgrade of the state? I’m hoping he will toll that trumpet bridge and some of the roads to generate funds for the state as well as jobs. A number of those toads feed Federal roads which means high volume of vehicular [especially truck] pressure on the roads, he needs to toll them in order for the state to have a stable road maintenance fund stashed away. what has ur Governor done since the last 6years |

bellyjean: 1. Picking and choosing what are or not relevant infrastructure to build or not build in any state remains opinions and speculation not rooted in facts, state physical and economic planning, growth projection or economic outlook. 2. The folks sitting at the table formulating ideas and economic strategies per how to better their states obviously have a detailed understanding per where they intend to direct their state economically, socially and physically, but you have no clue or was even at the table when these matters were discussed. 3. The essence of infrastructure upgrades and development remains economic growth, IGR expansion, mass employment, communal satisfaction and poverty eradication remains low poverty rate, low unemployment rate, increased IGR and economic growth and per the many reviews, surveys and researches by different institutions both locally and internationally, they've all been positive and they are all hitting the same positive marks from 2nd lowest poverty rate to 2nd lowest unemployment rate to the lowest misery index rate. 4. Aregbe same out from the get-go to reduce the unemployment rate in his state, to eradicate poverty in his state and he put his money where his mouth is and we are today witnessing the results in terms of the positive indices across the board. 5. Obviously, you get good results when you plane, set critical and substantive goals regardless other people's miscalculations or I know better arguments. 6. At the end of the day, the communal satisfaction derived from lack of economic or employment worries, expanding IGR based with money to invest in more projects and government programs for more communal satisfaction remains the ultimate goal for any state governor and government. 7. Lagos state is richer than Osun state and many other states are in fact richer than Osun state, but their goals are not well targeted, their governors are grossly corrupt, lazy and incompetent, but Osun still outsmarts all of them. Pound for pound, Osun state delivered more infrastructure than the rest of Nigeria pound for pound, even more than Lagos state with all their IGR. Regardless what you think is important to build or not build, infrastructure upgrades. = Hundreds of Nbillions getting recycled within the economy = Jobs = Low unemployment = low poverty rate = low mysery index rate. This is not ROCKET SCIENCE. 1 Like |

Osun ranks second in human capital on Nigeria’s first sub-national competitiveness indeX The question now is, why is Osun state getting these positive reviews from surveys and research even with all the silly noise about debt and salary? It's not magic or abracadabra, it's competent leadership, smart policies, and aggressive infrastructure spending. |

seguno2: Wetin we dey talk, wetin did one dey talk. Tarred roads is a basic necessity of life. It's not a gift from the government. My point is that tarring of toads and building of bridges is the eork of government. Tis no big deal and deserves neither applause nor celebration or the analysis of its economic viability. The road leading to my house should be tarred irrespective of whether it adds to the economy or not. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It has taken him almost six years to complete project like the Akute, Alagbole and Ijoko Bridges making life unbearable for residents of these areas mentioned. Dear Governor, kindly complete these projects to help save our cars, businesses and promote better living conditions for all. |

This is how bad and messed up they are, this is shallow, insane, backward thinking and unintelligent many of them are. You don't want these absurd characters to be your governor or even the principal of any nursery school. |

deomelllo: I went from Ikeja through Agege to Ijaye yesterday and could not just but be irritated at the state of the roads. No dedicated turn lanes, no lane markings not one single traffic light to control the flow of traffic. I just dropped my head in shame and for the first time it really hit me why people like Trump called Nigeria a shut hole. |

danvon: North Korea with good roads but no investors @ Y0ruba you have a point about tolling to get back the money since Osun is a poor state. In general, you want the governor to focus on infrastructures that can increase the IGR of Osun or at least recuperate the money spent since Osun is a poor state. The truth is that, your people will not understand & will end up insulting you as IPOB since your economic idea sounds like those of Biafrans. 1 Like |

Y0ruba: They won't understand you. You might not find this comment pleasant. Most of your people, don't understand wealth creation, public finance & basic economics. Infrastructures should be paid by users in order to recuperate the money spent on it since a state like Osun is poor. I will advice that the toll fee should not be much so as not to induce price inflation. Yes I don't like taxation but in this case, it is needed to get back that money spent to provide such facility since Osun state is a poor state. Finally, you said something that I like and have being working on for years. ".....A whole lot of you want the government to pay salaries but won’t help it brainstorm on how to generate the money;......." This is the main problem of many Nigerians. They don't brainstorm on how to boost IGR and employment that don't drain state purse. Don't feel bad if they call you IPOB because in reality, you share the view of Biafran economists. |

deomelllo: Roads are good but can also be bad when you fail to put some things into consideration especially if the state is poor & depends on Abuja for survival 1) How do you recuperate the money spent 2) Will you be able to generate enough money to maintain the road as well as recuperate the money spent. 3) How long will it take to recuperate the money. Now answer this question and keep the discussion civil & educative. 1) What is within the vicinity of those areas connected to the road that will attract investors.? |
