Metuh is just wasting his time, there's no more hiding place for him, enter your defence if you know you're innocent.
By the way, what's the latest on dokpesi?

Tell fayose to pay me my 4months salary! Every other thing is irrelevant

Oga fayose can you please shut up!
You're the most unreasonable governor in Nigeria today, you're owning we workers 4months salary and the next thing for you is to build a 5.7billion naira flyover in a town that takes less than 10minutes to traverse? The longest I've ever spent in hold-up in ado-ekiti was between 3-5minutes,so what's the justification of your flyover when you're unable to pay the worker's salary?
Where are you planning to raise the fund to do this? Borrow I guess and you're here castigating buhari for planning to borrow money in order to revamp the economy of the country
What's is your plan in making ekiti to be independent of FG allocation? What's your plan as regards diversification of the state's economy? Of what economic value is the flyover to the state? If you diverted the 5.7billion naira to agriculture, will it not better the lots of ekiti people.
You imposed taxes on our children in primary and secondary schools, yet you refused to pay we the parents, where on earth do you expect us to get money to pay these heavy taxes? Should my children pay tax when I'm already paying tax as their father?
You're such a clown bro

Like the Op rightly pointed out, a good number of these States don't need airport at least not now.
Ekiti is yet to pay workers December 2015 salary not to talk of January, February or march(I work for the state government), osun state is owning months and even the ones paid was half salary, workers in in ogun state just gave the governor a 2week ultimatum to pay up or face industrial action, with the above stated reasons coupled with the ones raised by the op, I cannot but agree that these 3 States definitely do not need airport

Goddex:

Go to Ekiti, atleast you can point to several of Fayose's projects.

Mention one project that your dullard_President has initiated and is executing. Has he tarred a single kilometer of road with almost 1yr in office?

Please can you mention one project by fayose in ekiti, mind you I'm from ekiti and currently work there with the state government, perhaps I should help you with one, he constructed less 1km awedele Road, I'll be happy if you can mention any other project by him which can be verified by ekiti people sir

Icecomrade:


Buhari = Chain

All of these will only poison the minds of Ekiti citizens against APC.
This UnderFedBrainDeadDauraCow don't anticipate the consequence of his acting n

Mumu

Poison the minds of ekiti citizens against who? Maybe you can just spare a day and come down to ekiti so that you can get people's opinion about his government.
The state is almost paralysed economically because the state is majorly populated by civil servants, artisans, small and medium scale entrepreneurs (no big companies in the state), his failure to meet up with salary obligations has severely affected all these categories of people.
These revelations by the DSS are only infuriating the people more, there has been this suspicion that he's not being sincere in his dealings with the civil servants and by extension other people because it's the civil servants that patronise them for their goods and services, so this is just in a way confirming people's suspicion.
I learnt he's planning a rally today, and that he has disbursed money to mobilise people but the civil servants are determined not to participate in any solidarity rally.

A SOURCE: COLUMN: PIUS ADESANMI READ MORE: ARTS , COLUMN WhatsApp YOU MAY ALSO LIKE READ NEXT s the last born and only son of Alfred Dare Adesanmi and Lois Olufunke Adesanmi, I only narrowly escaped becoming a woman wrapper in my formative years. Had Baba Adesanmi had the Okonkwo inclination, he would have been extremely worried about my propensity to cling to Mama Adesanmi’s wrapper. Many of you who will read this essay will know Olajumoke the bread seller, your pastor, and the politician you can defend with your life while he robs your future. It is unlikely, however, that you have ever heard of Chinua Achebe or Things Fall Apart. That politician you are defending has destroyed the education system that would have taught you about Chinua Achebe. Okonkwo is the hero of Things Fall Apart, a famous novel written by the man called Chinua Achebe. In that novel, Okonkwo is worried about his son, Nwoye, who is clinging too much to his mother’s stories. That is why I said above that Baba Adesanmi would have been worried about me if he had Okonkwo’s temperament. But Baba Adesanmi was not like Okonkwo. So I got to cling to Mama Adesanmi’s wrapper while growing up. In Isanlu, Kabba, and Egbe, the three Okun towns where I spent my entire childhood, Mama Adesanmi’s daily routine in the evening consisted of social visits to friends, extended family, and extended extended family. Sometimes she drove and sometimes she went around neighbourhoods on foot. On days that Mama Adesanmi did not drive, you would find me clinging to her wrapper with my left hand as we trudged the streets, stopping to greet every passerby. “E wokun Iya Iyabo.” Then the passerby would turn to me, pat me on the head, and say: “Bola omo mama e!” Then there will be the usual comment about me always clinging to Iya Iyabo’s wrapper. Mama Adesanmi’s first child, my elder sister, is Iyabo. Hence in Isanlu, Mama Adesanmi is Iya Iyabo to everybody. As for me, if you call me Pius, those who come from the first fifteen years of my life are usually lost. They know Bola, not Pius. Bola clung to Iya Iyabo’s wrapper till he was nearly twelve years old. Everywhere we went, there was the usual gesture of communal giving and honoring. Iya Onireke will say, “Bola my son, take this sugarcane and be a good boy”; Iya Olosan will say, “Bola my son, take this orange and be a good boy”; Iya Onikuli will say, “Bola my son, take these kulikuli and be a good boy o; Iya Onidonkwa will say, “Bola my son, take this donkwa and be a good boy”; Iya Elepa will say, “Bola my son, take these groundnuts and be a good boy”; Iya Eleja will say, “Bola my son, take this dried fish and be a good boy”. Giving a child clinging to his mother these kinds of gifts devolves from a very complex cultural architecture. The transaction is a gesture of “aponle” and “ayesi” (honour and respect) for the parent of the child. It would be sacrilegious for the child to accept the gift without first looking at his mother’s eyes and facial expressions for visual gestures of approval or disapproval. I would collect these gifts after ascertaining that a flicker of approval had crept into Iya Iyabo’s eyes. Then I would stand aside as Iya Iyabo would spend the next thirty minutes thanking the giver in an eternally-repeated cycle of “thank you”, “don’t mention”, “e seun ma” “haba, Iya Iyabo, ko t’ope. Omo mi daadaa ni Bola”. There are days when the gift was monetary and this is where things got complex. Often, all the listed women would add one kobo, five kobo, or ten kobo to the gift. Mama Adesanmi would never allow me to collect money from these elderly women. I later came to determine that she allowed me to collect monetary gifts from only people in her own social and economic bracket or above: nurses, teachers, doctors, etc. One day I asked why there was class determination to who I could collect money from. Her answer has remained with me for more than thirty years. Whenever I allow you to collect monetary gifts from somebody, it means I know that the person can afford it and it will not cause him or his family any economic difficulties. Many of these Iyas offering you money are honouring your parents. They really cannot afford the money they are offering you. In our culture, you are not expected to collect such gifts. You recognize the gesture and their pure hearts. Iya alakara can afford to give you akara but she cannot afford to give you money. If she offers you money, she is just honouring your parents. That is why I always answer for you: “mama e ma se yonu”. What you do not know is that whenever your father hears that such poor women offered you money, he often returns to give them monetary gifts and receive prayers from them. Knowing when to say “e ma se yonu” when offered a gift is very important in our culture. At about the time I was being taught the cultural significance of “e ma se yonu” in Isanlu, somebody was receiving the same lessons in a town called Ilaro in Ogun state. That person’s name is Femi Adesina, the man currently mismanaging President Buhari’s media machine – or mismanaging whatever it is that President Buhari isn’t mismanaging and wrecking all by himself. Thus it was that at about the time President Buhari demonstrated his irredeemable blindness to symbolism by haughtily claiming that his kids are abroad because he can afford forex, my Nigerian of the year, a poor pensioner with a heart of gold, was busy donating her pension to help President Buhari fight corruption. I am fully in support of President Buhari’s anti-corruption war. I have always written that the bellyachers and badmouthers of that war – caterwaulers of President Jonathan’s edifice of corruption – should be ignored. I still maintain that point. However, when Femi Adesina, a Yoruba man who grew up in the cultural world of “e ma se yonu”, runs gleefully to his Facebook page to announce the donation of a pensioner’s widow’s mite to his Oga’s anti-corruption effort, then you know that there is nothing that political aides cannot jettison in their erroneous belief that being marionettes for their principals is superior to being loyal to Nigeria. President Buhari had only just shown himself totally unworthy of this pensioner’s donation. Femi Adesina ought to have advised his Oga that the moment was tragically inauspicious for the Buhari presidency to seek to display such glorious symbolism and sacrifice for Nigeria on the part of a citizen since the President had only just done the exact opposite by showing himself incapable of symbolism and sacrifice. In essence, what the man who announced the donation so gleefully on Facebook ought to have done is advise his Oga about the philosophy of “e ma se yonu”. Besides, I am sure that President Buhari does not have enough time on his plate to worry about what Femi Adesina posts on his Facebook and Twitter accounts. Whatever we see there is a function of his own choice and judgement. Time and again, Femi Adesina’s judgement turns out to be horrible. All we need is to know about the great, patriotic gesture of this pensioner. You then add her to the 2016 National Honours List (alongside Dr. Stella Adadevoh). Then you elevate that pensioner to the status of a national example in civics, selflessness, patriotism, and sacrifice. But President Buhari cannot do any of this because he is in a bind. He is in no moral or ethical position to collect the gift of this pensioner on behalf of Nigeria because a citizen has risen up to make the sacrifice he has refused to make for Nigeria. Out of lack, a pensioner gives up the little she has to help Nigeria. Somebody who should be making the biggest sacrifice for Nigeria was on Al Jazeera declaring haughtily that he has enough forex to maintain his kids abroad. We know that. But the moment you become President, the exigencies of symbolism is not about what you can afford. If the President’s kids are in public schools in Nigeria, a lot would change. Adamu Adamu would not be on an extended siesta in the Ministry of Education for starters. He would know that the President’s children are in his sector. He would work his ass off to get things right. That money cannot be accepted. The pensioner cannot afford to give it to Nigeria. By the way, Nigeria has never done right by pensioners. What must be done is to honour her along the lines that I have suggested. But if I know Nigeria, the next honours list could feature Dino Melaye, Bukola Saraki, David Mark, and Godswill Apkabio. And they will all have supporters singing na God win.

I still don't understand why the media houses have failed to report fayose's failure, I have paid this levy on my child for two consecutive terms yet the man is yet to pay my December salary not to talk of January or February.
The private school owners took him to court but we're yet to hear from the courts due to unnecessary adjournments

This aregbe guy needs psychiatric evaluation, a governor that can't pay workers salary yet thinks creating more LGs is the way to go?
Not minding the rubbish he stated up there, there's no way this will not additional financial burden on the state, what's the merit or advantage of creating more LGs now?
He also said the LGs will be running parliamentary system of govt, is osun state now a separate nation on its own that it can decide what system of govt to run despite the constitution saying otherwise?
Are there no provisions in the constitution on how chairmen of local governments should emerge?
This guy doesn't cease to amaze me

His responses are spot on

So which minister will be jailed? Nigeria had no minister in July 2015 when the order was due to the fact gej cabinet had been dissolved and PMB was yet to appoint his ministers.
The order at best was just an academic exercise as it couldn't be enforced as at the time it was made, the judge wasn't guided in his judgement.
Asking the IG to implement the order is just an exercise in futility

seye005:
Becos they said they are not ready to collect half salary other worker in the state are collecting. Mind u Akwa Ibom too dey owe doctors salary and heaven no fall

For your information sir, the doctors never said they didn't want to collect half salary, all they asked aregbesola to do was to sign an MOU with them that the state is still owning them the remaining half which will be paid as soon as the economy of the state improves but he refused.
The implication then is that the governor was actually trying to review their salary downward to which the doctors disagreed and I think it makes sense, I may agree to collect half salary today due to the situation of things but there must be an agreement that I'm still being owed by you.
The governor has been feeding people with lies all this while, but the doctors refused to be blackmailed

The health sector probably suffers the worst neglect of all the sectors in Nigeria.
In my hospital, a general hospital for that matter, we don't have an ambulance and I've been complaining from the first day I was posted to this hospital but nothing has been done.
Just last night, I had to carry patients in my car to a tertiary hospital, two motorcycles had head on collision with two of sustaining severe head injuries, since my hospital doesn't have the necessary facilities to manage such cases, I had to refer them after stabilisation but it took these people eternity to get a vehicle so I had no choice than to transport them in my own car leaving the hospital with no doctor for the period of my to and fro.
Sometimes I get frustrated working under such conditions, patients who had no reason to die have died due to the poor state of most of these hospitals and I've repeatedly asked myself, what is the value of human life in Nigeria?

remirez07:
go to ekiti state and see what he has done... I am from ekiti state and I do visited every 26th of every month. he has done what APC can't do in 4yrs. awedele Rd. is very good example of all.

It's either you're not from ekiti or you've not been to ekiti as you claimed.
Are you aware ekiti workers are yet to receive December salary not to talk of January or February?
The awedele Road you mentioned, do you know it's than less a kilometre? The road starts from old textile junction and ends at bank Road.
I live in ekiti and I'm working with the state government

Mr Fayose, pls when are you paying our December salary? This is four months now, and you still have the audacity to open your dirty mouth to talk?
Ekiti is fast becoming like osun state, pls fix your house before commenting on other people's houses

akinszz:
I no believe. I see hand of esau and voice of jacob in this matter. Naija police i hail oooo.

I was surprised too, but miracles do happen, maybe nigerian police are ready to start performing

jaymichael:
Forget all these too much talk, "Science" is involved.
It is 'EDE AIYEDE lo bawon'.

You mean "won ti fi ese ile too"
You may be right anyway

The girls have been rescued.
Kudos to the security personnel in Lagos, they did a very good job here, not only were the girls rescued, the perpetrators too were arrested.
I do hope this kind of efficiency can be spread to other parts of the country for a more secured nation

Prime suspect in the abduction of three school girls in Lagos, Emmanuel Arigidi has revealed that twelve people were involved in the operation. Speaking to journalists on Sunday after they were arrested and the girls recused, Arigidi said the operation was planned at Majidun area of Ikorodu. “We went to Maya bridge to enter Canoe and went to the school around 8pm. After we gained entrance into the school, we took away three girls and we took them to our hideout,” he stated. ” But along the line, we had disagreement between ourselves and I was actually the one that started it. I told other members of the gang that what we have done is not good and that I don’t like it. “I know that security in Lagos State is now tight and I was telling others that there was no way we would get away with this kind of job considering the level of security in the state. When I told them that we should end the assignment, other members of the gang threatened to kill me and then I took Canoe to run away. “Three days after I ran away, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) then arrested me somewhere in Majidun and that was how I told them how we planned the attack. One thing I will like to say is that if not for the fact that I was arrested, they would not have seen the girls because I was the one that revealed everything to the police,” he narrated.

Please what's the qualification for police recruit? Is it just primary school leaving certificate or what? Because the difference between the salary of a recruit and that of a constable is damn too much, worse still the constable is only a level 3 officer, so does that make the recruit a level 1 officer? Is there anything like level cadre in civil service? Just asking

babyfaceafrica:
so fayose dey owe...and he dey get mouth...chaim.he no get shame at all.....God help ur hustle!!

The guy is such a terrible fellow, state civil servants are seriously groaning, but unfortunately for us he's cowed in the union leaders, with the way we're going, I hope we won't end up like osun or even worse.
Thanks for your payer and I say a big amen to it

My last salary was November 2015,i work with ekiti state government. But I thank God for his sustaining grace

omogin:
University college hospital, Ibadan, university of Benin teaching hospital, LUTH etc. The doctors there are yet to be paid salaries since November 2015. All in the name of shortfall that came with this evil change

Please remove luth and uch from your list because the doctors in those two hospitals are not being owed! At least they were paid their January salary as at when due

This man called Tarfa should just give up on this case, the more he tries to extricate himself, the deeper he sinks, and it's even getting messier now with more revelations coming out by the day.
If he continues to pursue this case, more terrible revelations will be made and many more corrupt practices by the judiciary will be exposed!

The emir failed to act rightly in this case, in fact calling that little girl a Muslim name in her letter to the AIG made it more disturbing
I'm really disappointed in sanusi and I hope the FG will investigate this case and other similar cases in order to ensure that the culprits are punished appropriately

#istandwithbuhari# may God grant PMB the wisdom to navigate through this dangerous path.
Nigeria must move forward, things must make sense.
Ride on Mr President, but please we need more improvement in our economy

This Tarfa guy has lost it and he should stop making mockery of himself.

I cannot but agree with Ben Bruce on this one, it baffles me whenever I see youths fighting over political parties or even politicians.
I personally have no party affiliation, all I'm after is good governance and it doesn't matter to me which party or individual that gives it to me.
I've always said it that nigerian youths aren't ready for leadership positions because most of us don't ask the right questions, and we've also allowed ethnicity, religion and party affiliation to becloud our sense of reasoning.
I hope some youths won't flood this thread to attack the messenger rather than focus on the message

The military doctor is nothing but an animal! Where did he think he was? How can a responsible man beat up a woman?
Not only should his licence be withdrawn by MDCN, he should also be made to lose his job with the nigerian airforce, he's not fit to live among human beings.

The time you can intimidate the govt and get away with it has passed Mr Tarfa! On this anticorruption issue, Nigerians are solidly behind the FG

Embattled Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Rickey Tarfa, on Wednesday withdrew the N5bn fundamental rights enforcement suit he filed against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and four others over an alleged violation of his right to privacy. Following the withdrawal of the suit, Justice Mohammed Idris awarded a punitive cost of N50,000 against Tarfa in favour of the five respondents. The respondents are the EFCC, its Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, Mrs. Rashidatou Abdou, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) and MTN Nigeria Communications Limited. Tarfa had filed the suit following his arrest on February 5 by EFCC operatives on the premises of the Lagos State High Court in Igbosere, where he allegedly hid two suspects of economic and financial crimes in his car to prevent their arrest. His two mobile phones and his Mercedez Benz SUV with Registration No. KJA 700 CG were confiscated by the anti- graft agency. But in his N5bn fundamental rights enforcement action, Tarfa had urged the court to declare that the respondents violated his right to privacy protected by Section 37 of the constitution, when, without a court order, MTN allegedly made the call log on his mobile line, 08034600000, available to the EFCC and the others respondents, who in turn allegedly released the information to SaharaReporters and other online media. The senior advocate had also urged the court to hold that the respondents acted unlawfully when they accessed his bank details, clients’ information, private and confidential information contained in his iPhone 6 and Samsung 6 without a court order or any reasonable cause. He had urged the court to award N5bn damages against the respondents in his favour, stressing that no amount of money could adequately redress the “unquantifiable and irreparable damage done to him, his reputation, his business and his goodwill.” But a lawyer from his chambers, O. Oladele, appeared before Justice Idris on Wednesday with an ex parte application to discontinue the case. Oladele gave no reason for Tarfa’s decision to withdraw the case. Lawyers for the EFCC, Mr. Wahab Shittu and Rotimi Oyedepo, who also appeared in court, said they were not opposed to the withdrawal of the suit, but urged the court to award a punitive cost against Tarfa. “My Lord, we have no objection to the discontinuance of the suit but we want the court to award a punitive cost against the applicant. Our names have been flying around in the major newspapers since yesterday,” Shittu said. But Oladele argued that the EFCC’s lawyers had no right of reply because his application was an ex parte application. Besides, he said the respondents could not be asking for cost because Tarfa had not served them with the suit. But Shittu argued that since the filing of the suit was widely reported in the newspapers, it was tantamount to serving the respondents by substituted means. In a short ruling, Justice Idris struck out the suit and ordered Tarfa to pay N10, 000 to each of the respondents.
