Splashme: So, why did the Ajimobi-led APC gov abandon backlog of salaries and pensions for Gov Makinde?
simple....Paucity of funds.......Oyo uses 100% of its federal allocation for salary, and its not enough except when the allocation reaches 5billion....for pensioners, their money has been embezzled by PDP agents before Ajimobi came in, the case is still in court
MetaPhysical: Yoruba electorate is the least conservative and most open to be ruled by a foreigner.
We miss certain cues which in a political setting are key flags to preservation and patriotism to fatherland.
Ondo Governor is married to foreigner, we voted him in.
Former Oyo Governor was married to foreigner, we voted him in. In fact their son is also married to a foreigner.
Current Oyo Governor is married to foreigner, we voted him in.
In Ogun State one of the contestants was said to be married to foreigner.
So when we vote in men married to foreigners we also accept their foreigner wives as First Ladies.
Are Yorubawomen not good enough for First Lady roles on their own land?
Why are we voting men with foreign wives, it is a rejection of our women. We should vote men married to Yoruba women into Government House and as well into our States House of Assemblies. We are very f00lish in our hyper-liberal approach of "live and let live".
Point to me a State anywhere outside Yorubaland where a Yoruba woman is First Lady.
in this dispensation i dont know of any governor outside yorubaland with a yoruba wife, but between 2007-2015, former governor Suswan of Benue state was married to Yemisi.....Atiku has a Yoruba wife Titi, Senator Folashade Brent became a senator in Adamawa her husband state......im not against yoruba men marrying other tribes but it seems our men are running away from our women and the society seems to have accepted that
I noticed the former governor Ajimobi was not married to Yoruba woman, rumors have it that Ajimobi might retire to Lebanon going by how much investments he have there including allegedly a refinery
And now Seyi with a Niger deltan wife..... What's wrong with Ibadan women?
KenOne: Nigeria like any other country or even organizations have rules and principle guarding it or better still code of conduct as seen in Nigeria broadcasting commission. Yes there's freedom of speech but there's no absolute freedom of speech anywhere in the world, journalism is guarded with rules and regulations or code of conduct in every country.
Meaning you don't just broadcast anything in the name of freedom of speech, but we forget to know that there's consequences of what we say in public or private. Are we going to say because there's freedom of speech then the print and electronic media shouldn't be regulated, or the print or electronic media is at liberty to what they air or write.
Meaning a print or electronic media could wake up one morning and broadcast like radio Biafra where a tribe is called cow or where some are called parasite and cockroaches in the name of freedom of speech and NBC shouldn't do anything. Social media platform is not regulated the reason why it shouldn't form part of the mainstream media like what AIT does in their KAAKAKI social media, a platform provided for those who hide under freedom of speech to speak trash because it's not regulated.
In KAAKAKI social media you see AIT reading inciting messages of people, i was watching one morning section when AIT read a post of someone about insecurity how Boko Haram bomb blast killed over hundred people, and how herdsmen killed scores of people in South-East same day, but it all happened that that was nothing like that as read by KAAKAKI social media, it's all fake news.
I could remember that same AIT social media read a post on their morning show where someone threatened the unity of Nigeria, and called some tribes Hausa-Fulani cow, parasite and Yoruba slave and skull miners going by the code of conduct journalism AIT was not supposed to read a post of someone threatening the country and called other tribes unprintable names that will incite them.
In Port Harcourt if you're calling a radio or tv show programme or sending a social media content the achor of the programme of Today Fm, Nigeria Info cautions you on the use of words and don't read messages that malign individuals or the government, like the government is supporting Boko Haram or Fulani herdsmen.
AIT and raypower fm were warned severally through a letter instead of adhering to where they've aired, apologise and settle amicably as it's always done in businesses the owner of Daar communication of AIT and raypower started playing the victim card and oppressing the media and staged a useless protest to the national assembly.
Just like in the case of Justice Onnoghen when same people and PDP made it a party thing and politicized it without asking some questions like if Onnoghen actually committed the crime he was charged for, they ran to the social media and court of public opinion to comdemn the government, the PDP governors and South-South governors urged him Onnoghen to fight on and resist the federal government, at last Onnoghen was found guilty and convicted.
The same people that cheered Onnoghen on went back to plead for soft landing for Onnoghen when it became obvious Onnoghen committed some infractions, same happened to Naira Marley they cheered him on but when he landed in EFCC and was charged to court and got reminded in prison we didn't see the drummers again it became to your tent oh Israel.
They have started cheering Raymond Dokpesi owner of AIT raypower on, they've called PMB tyrant, NBC is witch hunting him without asking themselves question if actually AIT/ raypower violated code of conduct of broadcasting, at last when it's been proven by the court of law that yes AIT/raypower violated the code they'll start seeking for a soft landing for him to save AIT/raypower like in the case of Onnoghen.
Not forgetting that Dokpesi also refused to pay his license renewal fees something he may have been getting away with previously,. ......this same man had to apologize to Tinubu in various publications and on his platforms for airing the Lion of Bourdillon and Tinubu took him to court......their desperation will not let them see all this but they will keep shouting freedom of speech
Igbobyblood: Dokpesi is the owner of Ait, a billion naira company located in Lagos state but was shut down by buhari this week.
I don't support buhari in this matter but whatever dokpesi get, he deserves it.
He opened his station in Lagos state, ask the man if he's a lagosian or if he's a Yoruba?
But he went to be employing Yorubas in Lagos.
Why can't he think home like how his mates are doing?
Mumu man. Remaining that yeye channels.
Imagine if Ait and channel is located in Edo state, their home town. Will that be bad?
You'll now see Yorubas saying Lagos is their hard work.
That's why I love igbenedion, he think home.
but 95% staff of AIT RAYPOWER is Edo indegenes,infact, AIT made me know many edo names because of this.......your write up is inaccurate, if you had mentioned channels i would have agreed
TSRC: There are more PhD holders from mbaise in IMO state, than in the entire Kano state.
There are more abysmally poor people in kano than in the entire south east.
Yes IMO people are highly educated but the richest Ibomen aren't from IMO, they are mainly from anambra and Abia....the level of commerce in Kano dwarfs your PH. D collections and that's the point, Kano needs and import more containers than Imo
Igbobyblood: Why isn't there a railway in the southern part of the country?
And what does Kano have that they are importing? Poor people
Are you this ignorant or just being mischievous..... No city in South east can match Kano in anything including commerce....... Kano is comparable only to Lagos and PH. Get that
oilPUSSY: For a group of people to believe that human parts generate wealth says a lot about their exposure and orientation..
When I saw them dragging position with NE and NE in WAEC, JAMB, NECO and the rest for decades , I knew there fire on the mountain . ..This is the end product.
Before the existence of social media, these people paraded themselves as saints while accusing others the same crime they are guilty of.
So sad that we might not stop bringing this type of news on nairaland until they acknowledge the fact that this tag belongs to them, even though the reported crimes are less than unreported ones.
seems you didnt take your drugs today, if you did then they are fake and expired and were imported by your uncle Obi in onitsha market..... the man is a traditional healer and thats why many went to tell the police they took their wards there themselves.......so because of the advent of social media other Nigerian tribes have stopped doing blood rituals abi, continue in your delusion, .....i thought you are learned and a critical thinker, you should be ashamed of yourself for using the activities of a few to condemn a whole tribe .......no surprises, thats how you all are saying all fulanis are killers..... we all know many ibos steal, import fake and expired drugs, prostitute, run baby factories and do ritual money even before the advent of social media.....no one ever said all ibos were like that because we know they have intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, professors .so stop hating yorubas..........if its because they are far ahead of your tribe in everything, dont blame us, blame your leaders
yesloaded: Inexperienced? This is where most you wannabe politician got it wrong. You all believe someone to become governor must starts from rep>senate>governor. If you live in Oyo state then you will understand the politics of this state! I don't jump into conclusion just like you did as I always wish each government the best! If they failed, masses suffer! And hey, Baba Obasanjo is less concerned about happenings in Oyo state politics. Also, Baba Ladoja is not the one who crowned Seyi as governor, do you know what makes Baba Ladoja leaves PDP & ADC? You think Seyi is daft? Bro, stop saying what you don't know
If you are a Muslim, salam aleykum & please go to Assalatu
If you are Traditionalist, then aboru, aboye, abosise
Just assuming I don't know anything Oyo state..... Ladoja left Pdp because he wanted to be controlling seyi which seyi resisted mainly because he was financing pdp, then Ladoja also left APC because he couldn't impose his choice candidates so Ladoja and seyi will eventually fall apart...like they did after pdp primaries...... .and that is where seyis inexperience politically will come in, yes he has been in the contesting game for 12 years, but has not won any until now which was made possible because of a coalition with other parties (meaning he doesn't have the votes) a coalition he agreed to share power with 55/45...... Ladoja wields immense power in Ibadan and everyone who had been in his bad book had always regretted it (I'm not a fan of osi olubadan though)
yesloaded: You don't live in Oyo state so you don't know political atmosphere here
What you don't know is bigger than you
Seyi is not a toddler/infant & he will not be manipulated as insinuated by you
Good morning, happy Sunday, go to church
You just sat down behind your computer /phone and concluded I am not from Ibadan and also asked me to go to church as if Im a Christian, No wa oooo What has nairaland turned to
Seyi is the most inexperienced politician to ever be governor with a very inexperienced house, like I said earlier we are in for an interesting political developments in Oyo......... When you come back from church please prove to me those vultures I mentioned aren't waiting to loot Oyo state with gsm as accomplice
sorom4: APC is in sifia pain. My Yoruba brothers in Oyo refused to continue mortgaging their children's future to one man in Lagos.
#AtikuIsComing
They refused to mortgage their future to one man in Lagos and Chose to mortgage their future to some men in Bodija(Ladoja) Aboukuta(obasanjo) Ekiti (fayose) Lagos (bode George)......all the hungry pdp vultures will feed so bad on Oyo state resources that you will wish they had patronized Bourdillon....... Oyo has entered one chance with this dictator governor........ The days to come will be quite interesting politically in Oyo state
Smart move, a move that will ensure he puts his own people in place first as caretaker committee and later ensure they are elected as executives......My advice to Mr governor don't meddle in the affairs of NURTW that was Akalas worst mistake, learn from his mistakes
Or you are not aware Akala was on ground during his inauguration
he should have visited siaka first before Ladoja now, the first person you visit after winning is your Godfather, and he did...... he only visited siaka after visiting Ladoja, Olubadan, Bode george, Obasanjo.......all these hawks are waiting to feast on Oyo state treasury........time will tell....... i later got to know the reason Ladoja was absent and it was a sober situation that warranted it (29th may coincided with the date his son died 5 years ago, may he rest in peace) but that doesnt mean theres no crack, they will fall apart eventually because Ladoja will want to play godfather which makinde will resist.
funmike83: You shoud not say wat you dont know, how do you expect someone to make promises when he doesn't even know how much is left in the govt account orhowmuchdebt ajiribi is owing. We know him as ore mekunu because he has been doing it even before he became a governor. Why is it dificult for buhari to implement the 300,000 minimum wage in d first place, and u want the newly elected to jump at it when there are pending issues that needs to be resolved asap Sometimes I wonder why some pple are like you ,we're praying for a better and new Nigeria and you're here wishing someone who just assumed office badluck. Point a finger at someone,the remaining 4 points bck at you. You are indirectly praying for yourself not to succeed. Who God blesses no man can curse. Seyi will make Oyo proud
Seyi was elected to govern and improve peoples live, if he is not up to the task, why then did you vote for him? thats the confusion im talking about, Oyo electorates are just confused and they will use that confusion to destroy this government.....except you want to tell us you will complain about past government and not do anything for 4 years........ you people voted out of hatred NOT because seyi makinde will perform better, so theh hatred is what will eat you all inside out for 4 years......im pointing the bad single finger at seyi while the rest four good fingers are pointed at myself, so no qualms about pointing a finger at him se o ti gbo Iranu
yesloaded: I don't know why people keep mentioning Ladoja, the fact remains that Baba Ladoja contributed nothing to success of Seyi Makinde. I've lived many years in Oyo state & followed her politics since early 90s
even seyi makinde wont say this about Ladoja, in case you dont know Ladoja was the first person he visited immediately he won, what does that mean? if he had not formed an alliance with Ladoja, he wont have won, Ladoja did same for Ajimobi just to spite Akala and thereafter fell out with him just as he will fall out with Seyi makinde
funmike83: Yimu, be decieving yourself,you will disgrace urself out. You better tell those mumu chairmen to leave honourably because their election was only conducted by ajimobi and no body voted for them . No other party participated in the election. So it has to be dissolved. Good move Gsm. Seyi is not a tyrant. He is pples friend. He is not pompous and wicked. Ore mekunu ni. He will succeed by God almighty
Is he the first person yall have called Ore Mekunu and later start abusing? The people of Oyo don't know what they really want and that confusion is what they will use to destroy this government....... Did you notice Ladoja was absent at the inauguration ? The crack has begun and will become wider in days to come as money and positions get shared..... Not forgeting his thugs in NURTW they started killing right after the inauguration at liberty road junction and it has been killing spree since inauguration...... Ore mekunu that won't pay 30000 minimum wage, where is the human face? Good luck to GSM as he aspire to be one of the worst governor oyo state ever had
richardoz: Funny people, as if their party also followed that supposed rule of law while they were in power. Nobody pitches his tent next to his arch enemy it doesn't happen anywhere. Good move by GSM to nullify a sham entity camouflaging as LGA
Who did this to you? are you so daft? Calling LGAs sham entity ,your ignorance is nauseating ......your gloating will soon end, theres no way Seyi will perform 100% so get ready to be disappointed because government is not a joke and your GSM has started on a joking note,
EdoNation: As the tides of the Nigerian music industry come and go and This Old Skool Nigerian Artistes Reigned before the new breed of music artistes we have today like Wizkid, Davido, Small doctor, Zlatan and their co-artistes. These were the reigning artistes. For history sake let’s accord them some recognition. In no particular order, Viralmula.Com brings this hot list to you, let’s get down to business shall we...
Princedapace: But are u not surprised that it took a full country with major international backups, three good years to defeat a region with few qualified soldiers and no air service. Haba, it says a lot about Nigeria. It is too weak. Make we pray make any country no follow us fight war. Na wipe them go wipe all of us comot from earth.. Becus if u are fighting another independent country, u won't see their seaport to block o. Seriously, nigeria is a disgrace. Above all, after all the war, see wetin nigeria turned into. A messy and extremely corrupted country.
why are you twisting history (could be ignorance) Biafra had foreign countries backing them too and it wasn't just a rag tag army as you want to paint.... Some countries were even backing both Nigeria and Biafra at the same time.......South Sudan fought for 25 years with a rag tag army against a Sudan army backed by many Arab nations ......the lesson if the civil war to me is that before a war, both parties should be aware and be prepared for the consequences of war because to the warring sides all is fair in war
Princedapace: I am still trying to understand why the Nigerian govt along with supports from at least three strong countries in war could only defeat a small nation by implementing an anti war tactics. I mean using hunger as a tactics was a low life. There are some things u don't do during war.
Any ways, it is a gone game. I am still trying to understand how the Biafrans did it shaaa..
We are still hoping to get 1600 respondents for my friend's PhD survey questionaire. Pls, you can be of help.

Everything is fair in war......you want me to feed you so you can have the strength to fight me more, why? America commits tons of war crimes all over the world in wars they are fighting but to them it all seems fair.... Israel has blockaded Gaza for more than 7years now but Israel is far safer for that move and it seems fair to blockade a nation from air land and sea.......so in war. All is fair
are you not contradicting your own position? of all the lanuage programmes you listed above from various radio stations, none is in fulfude, arent you aware not all fulani speak hausa? your suggestion to include fulani on von or radio nigeria will only give a few hours of fulani broadcast which may not be enough to disseminate the message of peace and inform and educate them , afterall we have 247 hausa, yoruba and igbo language stations.....they are not being specially treated but the urgency to put an end to killings necesitated the establishment of a radio stations that can reach the vast majority of those involved .
*Are you guys no longer called Hausa-Fulani?
The truth about the contraption known as Nigeria is gradually bursting forth*
Who are you referring to as Hausa Fulani? I'm not one in case you think I am one of them
Sima04: bro, I am in the South East,do I receive radio station that transmit only Yoruba or Hausa languages? capital No Does Igbos in South West and northern part of the country receive our Igbo radio service from the East? Capital No as well. Let radio Nigeria or voice of Nigeria include programmes in fufude or whatever there language is and transmit so that all Nigerians can get them at once and those that understand the language should benefit. if they insist on receiving info with their language alone, then they should go to their respective states and open such radio station. Finish. or better still let the FG open a federal radio that transmit only Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, even Efik and Ibibio since they want to reach Nigerians in there local languages.
They want when trouble starts they will just say something in their language and all of then will start killing their host communities. RADIO FULANI IS THE HEIGHT OF ISLAMISATION PERIOD
Still contradicting yourself more, I can receive AM station broadcasting in Ibo from kaura namoda (which is Hausa land) I can receive Yoruba speaking AM station in Makurdi.......AM as opposes to FM has wider coverage, the sound might not be great but it audible enough...... So many state governors have radio stations that broadcast only their local language 247 on AM frequency ...........Bbc Hausa service can be heard in the heart of iboland so I don't understand the hulabaloo about Fulani radio given the situation at hand and the urgent need to reach, inform and educate the Fulani with the view of finding solutions to the current crisis.
