This fayose man won't cease to amaze me! A road that is yet to be completed, you're switching on the street lights! Like seriously?
Fayose is a clown

This is a lie from the pit of hell!
A governor who's owning most workers in the state 3months salary, some 4months is granting car loans to the same workers? Like seriously?
Fayose's lies know no bound, I'm a civil servant in the state and I'm saying it categorically that there's no car loan anywhere

How did they carry out their study? I've spent over 20 years of my entire life time in ekiti and I'm proud to say this study does not in anyway represents the true picture here in the state.
I cannot remember the last time I saw a house without toilet, yea most of the toilets are pit latrines especially in the small towns but that they don't toilets at all? nothing can be father from truth than this

joeprince23:
If their is any issue I agree with barcanista 100% it is on this sherrif issue,I have said this severally that only scared APC members and failed,untrustworthy chameleons in the PDP will label sen sherrif as BH sponsor,SAS is a political GURU who can onseat any opponent in NE and APC is already gittry about 2019. Remember that the present APC governor of borno is SAS godson, all matured minds should watch as APC structures in NE will begin to crumble. SAS is a born calculator and skimer SHERIFF IS A WINNER

Really? How come he couldn't win his state in the 2015 election even with the federal might?
Sometimes I wonder how you guys overate some of these politicians!

@OP, clarify these issues from Wikipedia
1. Odunlade Adekola
He was born on December 31, 1978 at Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State southwestern Nigeria.[3] He attended St John’s Primary School and St. Peter’s College in Abeokuta where he obtained the West African School Certificate Examination before he later proceeded to Moshood Abiola Polytechnic where he received a diploma certificate .[4]

2. Mosun Filani
Mosun was born in Ibadan to parents from Ekiti State. She was raised with four other siblings.[1] She attended Abeokuta College of Education and earned a degree in Business Administration from Tai Solarin University of Education.[2]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosun_Filani

These shows that Odunlade is from Abeokuta cause there is show on dstv, Gbajumo Osere where he was invited and he said he's from Abeokuta while you're right about Mosun Filani

Tell us about your roots
My parents are from Otun Ekiti (in Ekiti State) but I
was brought up in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I attended
St. Peters College, Olomore and obtained an
Ordinary National Diploma in business
administration at the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic,
Abeokuta.
That's Odunlade Adekola himself telling us about his origin, this was culled from an interview he granted daily independent
http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/02/im-not-a-stereotype-odunlade-adekola/

Fiwasayo:
Odunlade is not from ondo state,he's from abeokuta.
Mosun filani is also from abeokuta.

Odunlade Adekola is from otun ekiti in ekiti state, his younger brother was my classmate in secondary school.
Filani Mosun is from ikole ekiti, I once read an interview by her where she said it

No matter how hard they try to defend sheriff, PDP has lost with this their decision.

This is a very patriotic article, my allegiance is to my country not to any individual

Before I address the essence of this piece, I
will start by addressing the reaction. There
are two main elements that are likely to
ignore rationality when reading and
commenting on this piece; the so called
Wailing Wailers and the group of people who
are still voting President Buhari despite the
fact that he is already president. They are
often both irrational groups who hold on to
opposite sides of an issue mostly based on
where they stood during the last polls.
Of the two, the Wailing Wailers are of course
the most disgraceful, colourfully shameless
and with zilch credibility. The reason being
that, everything they criticize today, they once
cheered and supported. Their only anger with
anything today is that Goodluck Jonathan is
no longer president. For most of them, they
would cheer the stealing of billions of dollars,
defend same and even protest if you start the
prosecution process of the suspects, all
because they supported Goodluck Jonathan.
They do not love Nigeria and even if they wail
from now till 2090, those who know better will
never take them seriously.
The other group, those who are still voting
President Buhari, are held back by the
desperation not to be seen that they made a
mistake at the polls. That is an unfortunate
state to be in because of the two major
options before Nigerians last year,
Mohammadu Buhari was a no brainer.
Goodluck Jonathan had supervised Nigeria’s
longest oil boom, despite that, he left Nigeria
with its lowest foreign reserve in a decade,
less than 1000 MW of power supply, some
112 million poor souls, over 10 million school
kids out of school, gargantuan corruption of
which Nigeria would still be recovering the
stolen funds 10 years from now.
Buhari was the better candidate of the two
and Nigerians rightly settled that argument.
What Buhari does with that mandate does not
make the Nigerians who voted him the wrong
party. If doing the right thing eventually
results in a bad thing happening, you do not
regret doing the right thing.
But Nigeria is bigger than the so called
Wailing Wailers, Nigerians already proved that
on March 28, 2015. End of. Nigeria is bigger
than the Buharists too, Nigerians proved it
three times before the 2015 elections. Buhari
became president because non-Buharists
voted him. Let this be clear before people get
swept off by the wind and tide that swept
Jonathan and his “best president ever” court
of jesters.
The 2016 budget is a joke, a disgrace and a
representation of the unwholesome reality of
governance in Nigeria. What that budget
simply shows is that we simply are not ready
for the change we so mouthed during the last
elections. Government officials are speaking
of austerity measures and the need for
Nigerians to make sacrifices, yet our Budget
Office is proposing to spend some bizarre
sums on some irrelevant, good for nothing
materials that contribute zero-value to the
average Nigerian.
The 2016 budget has N1 billion for the
purchase of tables and chairs. We cannot
introduce PDPian reality into governance and
then pretend things have changed. N1 billion?
For what? That amount will start a big
furniture company with the capacity, not only
to make enough chairs for the federal
government, it will also create jobs. I don’t
believe in government starting companies but
I’d rather N1 billion spent that way than spent
buying tables and chairs.
Almost N7 billion will be wasted on the
Senate President’s residence and some joke
consultancy distraction. If we want to run
Nigeria down, let us be frank with Nigerians,
instead of telling them now things will be
different while continuing with the inanities
that led us here in the first place.
As we speak, no one knows how the National
Assembly spends its allocation. It collects its
share and spends it without accounting to
Nigerians. We can fool one another, but we
cannot fool those watching from outside. So
far, nothing has changed here! N4.8 billion
has been proposed for operational vehicles
for Nigerian Prisons. Let us assume these
new vehicles are being bought in anticipation
of the billionaires that will be jailed by
president Buhari, should they then have
access to the same exotic vehicles in prison
as they did when eating out our collective
wealth out of prison? N237 million was spent
in 2015 – at least according to that budget –
to purchase kitchen equipment for the state
house. Now, another N89 million has been
budgeted for same. How is it that kitchen
equipment that cost almost N237 million
cannot survive beyond a budget cycle? Haba!
We cannot stay repeating the same mistakes
– should they be called mistakes if they
happen every year? – and expect that
somehow things will change for the better.
The biggest indication of a government’s
direction and intention is its budget. If this
budget represents the change the APC
promised, we might as well now agree that
the disaster that was the “Transformation
Agenda” has a match in the joke that this is
turning out to be. The most part of this is that
those who ought to speak are scared to
speak out, they would rather speak angrily
against the budget privately, then go into the
Senate chamber to praise the very same
document they tore apart just minutes before.
If we continue to make government about
individuals, our country will not move an inch
forward. What has been stated above about
the budget is not a finger at who is wrong, it
is a finger at what is wrong. The 2016 budget
is wrong. Capital Expenditure at 30 per cent,
despite an expanded budget essentially
means the reality of recurrent expenditure
against capital expenditure remains as it was
under the Jonathan years. The difference is
too marginal to be emphasized as “change.”
President Buhari presented a great speech at
the National Assembly when presenting the
2016 budget but if he had actually gone
through some of the items in that budget, he
would have instead sent those who prepared
the budget to present it.
This is the first budget under a new party
since the PDP’s 16-year reign. It was not
expected to be markedly different from theirs
because reforms need to be gradual to be
sustainable, and to avoid shocks on the
economy. Having said this, some items on
the 2016 budget could easily have been
avoided altogether. Lessons must be learnt,
the Buhari administration must do better. If
there is one thing this administration can
learn from the last, it is this; those who are
seen as critics are better than those who
praise your every move. We cannot afford to
get carried away by the praises of those who
will not be there when we are out of power.
Those who hailed the last president, as the
best thing that ever happened to Nigeria
could not even spend a few thousands to
wish him a happy birthday just months after
he left office. It is the nature of power, it is
transient and it carries sycophants along with
it, in droves.
Let it not be said that we did not speak when
things go wrong. Let it not be said that our
voices went dead when the very things we
criticized under one government reared its
head under another. The Wailing Wailers will
say this is being done because people like us
were not rewarded with government
positions, but those with the power to share
the offices know those who are begging them
for same. And those who do not care who
became what or didn’t. May we know to do
better!

Aromas:
And the worst path is Wole Olanipekun SAN who lead his colleagues to defend Rickey Tarfa. The only SAN who defend the thief and the owner

Where did you see wole olanipekun in the report? The report clearly states that it was Niyi Akintola that led other SANs

I Just saw it on lere olayinkas Facebook page too, this is the beginning of the end for them.

Oxygen supply doesn't use electricity so the issue of no UPS doesn't make sense at all, maybe they're negligent in other areas but in the area the accuser stated above, thanks

Which one is FG's own in this case now Mr Fayose? Did they tell you that aluko is in aso rock? Or has there any attempt to arrest him which was resisted by the DSS?
Fayose is gradually losing it, federal might is gone, local support is gradually going as well.
You better brace up on how to pay workers salary before they withdraw the little support you have

This write up doesn't make any sense, so if there's a case at the Supreme Court and saharareporters speculates the judgement would go one way, are saying the Supreme Court would deliberately go against Sahara reporters even if that's the position of the law/constitution just to spite Sahara reporters?
The Supreme Court judges would be the dullest people on earth if they ever follow this your analogy.

PMB, things would be worse if gej was still at the helm of affairs, as early 2015 the FG was already borrowing to pay workers salary, NOI herself admitted it despite the fact that crude oil was selling between 63-68 dollars per barrel then, whereas now that crude is hovering just above 30 dollars per barrel, the FG is still able to meet most of her obligations.
Yes, PMB hasn't lived up to expectations but gej wouldn't have done better, if a better candidate stood for the election, I definitely would have gone for him but gej is never a better alternative not even with all the revelations coming out at trial of our yam eaters

I doubt if it's the fault of the FG, it must have been the plan of the mgt of that University to shortchange the staff.
There's no complaints like that from members of staff of FUOYE which is also one the new federal universities in Ekiti state.
I suggest the members of staff should raise alarm and even give it the widest publicity both in the print and voice, I'm sure the mgt will quickly reverse the decision

I doubt the King would say such, it's really pathetic that Vanguard would publish a tweet whose source or handler wasn't confirmed, a simple call to his media aide could have solved this problem, tomorrow now the ooni will deny this and Vanguard will be apologizing again, aren't they ashamed of telling lies all the time?

This is really shameful

This doesn't make sense as far as I'm concerned, let this man say this on the floor of the Senate rather than ranting on Twitter.
And he should not give us the story that he's giving his money to his constituents, what we want is a drastic reduction in their pay, he should champion this if he wants Nigerians to take him serious, he should stop playing on our intelligence

Fayose who is yet to pay November salary for workers is registering widows for what? Why did he need to register them when we have a register used during fayemis administration that even involved data capturing,? At best all he needed to do will be to upgrade.
While I'm not disputing the fact that the program took in the other two LG mentioned, I'm more than convinced that nothing of this nature took place in ilemeje local government cos that's where I work and I only left the place yesterday evening, so Mr Fayose pls stop lying

I have a question for this lawyer and I'm asking out of curiosity and with a sincerity of purpose.
If what he puts up there is true, how come Nigerian government was dragged to the ICC by the camerounian government over the bakassi land issue and not only did we attend the court, we even lost our land to them and the ruling is binding on us till today.
If Nigerian government isn't bound to obey the ICC due to the fact that our national assembly hasn't passed the treaty into law in Nigeria, why didn't this supposed brilliant lawyer raise such then or even now rather than allowing us to lose such a valuable asset to another country?

Onyocha:
Your mentality is a very sorry one.

We are made to believe that the killings were a reaction to road block. And of course the army took it further to attack their religious center and houses and cemetery. Now you are telling us of "state within a state". Doesn't that imply everything was preplanned and the road block was used as pretext?

What is the definition of state within a state? Does citizens blocking a highway constitutes a state within a state? Were they armed and trying to harm others and the peace? Did they have any intention against the sovereignty of their own country? In their history, and up to this day after they have been killed, have they ever been violent? Have they killed anyone? Have they rejected violence or have they threatened anyone? When their corpses layed naked, we're not the so called Zaria residents complaining of "suffering" from religious ceremonies that looted the dead corpses?

Giving a dog a bad name to hang it is what you have done. And you so arrogantly speak as if you're doing so from a position of power to threaten others. I wonder how these people following their beliefs amount to being tools in the hands of foreign governments. How? If citizens break the law, is there no other way to arrest them and make them face justice in court? Where is the police? Are extra judicial and random killings what you call "warning"? To what end and to who? In a democracy and under the rule of law, your words sound bush and jungle.

.. As much I condemn the massacre by the Nigerian army, the question nobody has been able to answer is; what was the reason why those guys blocked a federal Highway? What were they protesting about? Why didn't they just allow the army chief to pass after so much persuasion from the military officers who were seen pleading with them in the video? What did they intend to achieve by blocking the road and insisting that they wouldn't allow the military chief to pass? I condemn the military action but I also condemn the actions of the Islamic sect, you don't practice religion on the highway, there are better ways of making their grievances known, if they had any. Having a direct confrontation with constituted authority can only have one effect, unfortunately the outcome is not usually palatable

Congratulate him for winning a court case? So how many people will the president Congratulate cos we have about 25-30 governorship cases in the court.
How many govs who have had cases decided in their favour has Ben Bruce asked the president to congratulate?
This man is becoming annoying by the day and I think his senatorial have just wasted their slot in the national assembly, cos he could do all these nonsense as ordinary citizen
We've never heard of his contributions to any discussion at the plenary

This is the beginning of the end of fayose, I knew it would come to this.
All the noise he was making was just to seek attention but unfortunately for him nobody took notice of all his rants hence the need to go through the back door, but I doubt if it will work, I doubt if tinubu or obj will be willing to forgive him especially now that it's been shown that his influence is very minimal when it comes to national politics.
Is it now that he's just realizing the unity of yoruba is important? So what aspects of yoruba unity did he go to aregbesola to discuss? Maybe he went there to learn how to survive owing workers salary anyway.
Ayo Fayose pay our November salary! 3 months and still counting!

Ayodele Fayose is a shameless individual

God bless you GMB for putting an end to this scam!
The kerosene subsidy stuff is the greatest scam of all time to me, you'll never get to buy it at the subsidized rate

Ogbeni fayose, when are you paying our November salary? Ekiti is being grounded economically and you're there running mouths.
You didn't pay our salary yet you imposed #1000 development levy on all our children in schools in the state.
A forward thinking governor will be discussing what he will do to get alternative source of income for the state and not complaining that money isn't coming from the Fg.
Ekiti state is blessed with fertile land and moribund textile industry, yet all you can think about is a miracle from Abuja.
You can criticize PMB for all you care, that's none of my concern but please save some time to face governance in the state.
A governor who can't pay salary but wants to build airport, you ask yourself where is common sense in that?

And finally, please stop embarrassing the good people of Ekiti, we're forward thinking we'll mannerd people, if you must criticize, pls do it with decorum and let your criticism be constructive, thanks and God bless sir

So Obasanjo offered you bribe in 2003 and you're just saying it in 2016, 13 good years after?
Some people can lie sha

Most of the comments here just show the problem with Nigerian youth, we don't read!
A glance through the contents of the news would have informed you guys that this is an old news, but trust naija, they would just comment based on the headline

Following the hue and cry over demolition of
the popular Owonifari Electronic Market loop
at Oshodi, the Lagos State government has
said that the market had to go following its
security threats to residents of the state.
State Commissioner for Information and
Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, at an inter
ministerial chat with reporters on Thursday,
said that the demolition exercise on Tuesday
and Wednesday actually confirmed some of
their fears, “as we discovered concrete bunker
and arms underneath the shops.”
The government said though the matter of
relocation had been on for about 10 years,
recent intelligence report and criminal
activities around Oshodi during the festive
season, informed the drastic action of the state
government.
The government said plans were already in
top gear to begin the construction of a world-
class bus terminus in the loop.
It would be recalled that bulldozers swung
into action late Tuesday night, destroying over
1000 shops in the Owonifari loop following a
quit notice served to the occupants on
December 21, 2015.
Contrary to the claims that the 16-day notice
order was too short, Ayorinde said that the
issue dated back to 10 years, with back and
forth negotiations held with leadership of the
market on relocation to a larger Isopakodowo
market about 200 metres from the demolished
site.
He stressed that the move was in the best
interest of everyone, adding that the state
government could not have been more
magnanimous with the conditions of the new
market and the rate at which the new shops
were rented out.
Ayorinde, however, said while markets would
always be in Oshodi, some illegal structures
already marked by the state government
would have to be demolished to make way for
traffic free-flow and crime-free Oshodi axis.
He said: “Government, I should say, will not
be blackmailed because we had done
everything humanly possible and you know
that the hallmark of this government has been
compassion. It is a compassionate
government.
“The intention was not to destroy the market
or destroy properties or to make life
inconvenient for them. We believe very
strongly that Isopakodowo market is quite
ideal; its a lot bigger store-per-store than
where they had been removed now and the
aim of government, as we stated earlier, is to
ensure that that area of the market conforms
with the type of image that we want Lagos to
be, which is to return sanity to the place, to
beautify the market, to construct a world class
bus terminus around that place and to ensure
that people who use that place on a daily basis
– the commuters, traders, everybody enjoy
what it means to go to a market in a mega
city.
“We also believe that the exercise will largely
reduce the gridlock that is associated with that
area and then the criminalities that were
rampant in that Oshodi. What we have done is
in the interest of the generality of Lagosians,”
Ayorinde said.
The commissioner said that the government
had already commenced the fencing-off of the
set-back on Agege Motor Road that stretches
from Ilupeju end of Oshodi all the way to the
PWD/Ikeja GRA end of the area.
Ayorinde said the ongoing fencing-off and
beautification of the road set-back from
Ilupeju bypass to PWD/Ikeja GRA would
constitute the first phase of the transformation
of the Oshodi area.
The second phase, he added, would begin
from PWD/Ikeja GRA and stretch all the way
to Agege/Pen cinema axis.
Commissioner for the Environment, Dr.
Babatunde Adejare, said contrary to claims in
some quarters, none of the occupants’
properties was destroyed in the demolition
exercise.
“On Tuesday night, we found that all the
occupants have complied and moved to the
new market. The only one that remained
actually called us to say that he was in the East
burying his late mother. For that one, we had
to evacuate his properties and they are safe
with us. So, nothing was destroyed in the
exercise.”
Adejare added that the governor had been so
magnanimous to have allowed the shop
owners acquire new shops in Isopakodowo
market at N5,000 in a place like Oshodi.
“There is nowhere in Lagos where you will be
paying N5, 000 per shop not to talk of the
central Oshodi, but the governor agreed with
them and we said we were ready to concede
after which we now formally served them
with a quit notice through the office of the
Commissioner for Physical Planning and
Urban Development,” he said.

Try and explain to her why you people should wait till you get married, if she still insists, then allow her to leave if she wants to.
A lady once left because I didn't want to have premarital sex, now I'm happily married and the lady never cease to tell how she regrets her decision

May God console the family of the deceased.
I want to suggest that the case be thoroughly investigated cos for all you care it may be more than just an accidental discharge from a drunk policeman.
Who says the guy was not assassinated?
