This is where the missing $48 or $20 billion oil money has gone to. Steal billions and throw few thousands to the suffering masses.

Patience Jonathan has given the Kwara residents their share of the missing $48 or $20 billion national cake.

Wife of the President, Mrs Patience Jonathan, has donated three lorry loads of food items to women and youths across the 16 Local Government Areas of Kwara State.

A statement by the state Peoples Democratic Party’s Publicity Secretary, Rex Olawoye, on Saturday, said the food items were handed over to the state Chairman of the party, Iyiola Oyedepo and his executive members.

Olawoye said there was pervading poverty in the state, adding that the items would help in reducing the hardship suffered by the people.

He expressed gratitude to the First Lady for the gesture, while assuring her of fair distribution of the items.

“We are grateful to our mother for reaching out to us. We are happy for this timely gesture to our party members and other members of the public.

“We are particularly delighted that these food items are coming at a time they are needed most.

“Considering the excruciating poverty that has continued to bite hard in Kwara today in the hands of the ruling All Progressives Congress, especially among our women and youths, there is no better time to receive such intervention than now,” Olawoye said.

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the PDP in the State, Mr. Adebayo Babalola, has urged leaders to connect with people’s yearnings through government policies and programmes.

He said the welfare of the people should be paramount, adding that leaders that addressed the yearnings of their people would always be remembered by the electorate.

According to him, the re-election of the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose and the huge crowd that attended his inauguration indicated that Nigerians would always recognise leaders who addressed their welfare.

Babalola spoke on Saturday during his declaration as a governorship aspirant in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

He stressed that residents of the state had been denied purposeful leadership, adding that he would transform the state if he emerged the governor.

A hot debate went on in my place of work yesterday,I am of the opinion that there is nothing wrong if a married woman is playing ludo with a single guy alone in the ladies apartment,when the husband of the lady is not at home,most of my colleague are of the opinion that it is a kind of disrespect to the husband.Some also said that the said wife may be lured into having a secret relationship with the wife which may eventually lead to sex.let me get your opinion is it really wrong?

Are there still face-me-I-face-you appartments in Lagos? Only in such apartments will such things happen

According to your list, the Ministers of Finance, Energy, Justice, Health, Information and Works are Christians, are these not the most powerful ministers? Can you put your enemy in charge of your finance to be spending your money anyhow and also make another enemy your spokesman (information minister)?

Scrolling through all the posts from the original poster to the poster just above me, I was expecting to see pictures of construction work going on the site (river); unfortunately all I see is grammar upon grammar without even a simple picture of wheel-barrow and shovel carrying sand and cement. This is Jona-magics.

Horayce:
Truer words have never ben said. Still, would you denounce all the available Gods for a 100 billion dollars?

Am I more saint than Peter? He denied Jesus three different times within few minutes. What about Thomas that refused to believe until he saw proves? Who am I to claim holy?

Vado:
Nice attempt at being logical but even at that, your points are flawed. Not everyone belongs to a faith just because they were born into it. There are converts, there are those literally coerced into a particular religion.

To the topic, I would tell the giver to shove the money up his a$$.

Yes, converts who were cajoled and convinced by people of particular faith without given the converts the time to research into other faiths like Hinduism, Judaism, e.t.c. Some people even convert for economic reasons. We have all read in the papers how some people from Eastern Nigeria converter into Islam at the National mosque in Abuja and were given lots of money by Northern Muslims. My grandfather's friend who was a Muslim had adopt a Christian name to that he could school in a missionary college in the 1930s

Soloter:
This should be done with urgent urgency, if not it looks as if there's a conspiracy to blackmail Christianity in Nigeria.

You are very right my brother, there is a malicious attempt to blackmail Christianity in Nigeria. President Jonathan is a Muslim, that is why he is trying to blackmail Christianity in Nigeria. It is also the Sultan of Sokoto that packed Nigeria's oil money into CAN president's evangelism jet so that CAN president can use the money for evangelism. EEEEDIOTS.

If Fayose actually won all the local governments in the last 'free and fair election', why did Fayose go with thugs to the election tribunal to stop the tribunal from sitting. I know that all parties rig elections in Nigeria, but if you are sure of your rigging strategies, you will not do everything possible and impossible to stop the tribunal from sitting; afterall the election tribunal is sitting in Osun, so why wont it sit in Ekiti. Ask Jonathan and his nest of criminals.

These are his last days in office as Gov­ernor of Ekiti State. And for many in his shoes, such days would have been a time to dawdle in the brand new, state-of-the-art Government House on the hilltop, eating, drinking and indulging in vain revelry.

But not the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi. Since September 22, the governor has embarked on a Thank You Tour of the state during which he has been commissioning some of the legacy projects that his administration has bequeathed to the state in the past four years.

Dr. Fayemi, who was sworn in as governor on October 16, 2010, would be completing his tenure on Wednesday, October 15. The new governor, Mr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of the state, would be sworn-in on Thursday, October 16.

No fewer than 65 local government projects are billed for commissioning during the governor’s last days in office. The projects include roads, school buildings, neighbourhood markets, libraries, community viewing centres, town halls and dispensaries, many of which were commissioned between September 22 and October 4 by the governor in the course of his thank you tour to the communities. Ten of the 18 renovated general hospitals which have been completely rehabilitated were commissioned in Ifaki-Ekiti, Ijero-Ekiti, Okemesi-Ekiti, Otun- Ekiti, Ikole- Ekiti, Ijesa-Isu-Ekiti, Ikere-Ekiti, Ijan-Ekiti and Iyin-Ekiti.

Some of the legacy projects being commissioned by Fayemi include the new hilltop Government House, christened Ayoba Villa; the 12,000-capacity Ekiti Parapo Square (the State Pavilion), the Oba Adejugbe Hospital, the Ire Burnt Bricks factory in Ire- Ekiti, the Administrative Block of the School of Nursing, Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, the ultra modern Pharmacology/ Biochemistry building of the Medical School, (EKSU), and the College of Technical and Commercial Agriculture, as well as the pilot irrigation project sponsored by the three serving senators in the state, among others.

The state was thrown into excitement on Wednesday, October 1, when the newly built State Pavilion, which is comparable to the Eagles Square in Abuja, was commissioned by former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari. Named Ekiti Parapo Square, the pavilion is a 12, 000-seater arena, and it is designed to hold all manners of events ranging from school parades on May 29, May 27 and October 1), conventions, conferences, religious crusades and political campaigns.

While speaking during the commissioning, Buhari praised Fayemi and urged Nigerians to reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the general elections next year.

On Monday, October 6, Former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku commissioned the Oba Adejugbe Hospital, a 300-bed medical centre in Ado-Ekiti. The hospital, named after the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, was conceived and built as a replacement for the Ado-Ekiti General Hospital that was upgraded to a university teaching hospital.

Extolling Fayemi’s sterling accomplishments, Atiku said the governor’s feat was an indication that the federal government needs to cede some of its powers and responsibilities to the states in order for state governments to perform optimally.

“I think Fayemi’s performance is extraordinary. Early this year, I was here and when I came here, this very edifice was not available and driving round the city is also amazing because there are quite a number of infrastructural facilities that have come up. So I think it is an extraordinary performance,” Atiku said.

On Tuesday, October 7, Chairman of the Governors’ Forum and Governor of River State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi was on hand to perform the commissioning of the ultra modern Pharmacology/Biochemistry Building of the Medical School in Ekiti State University (EKSU) and other projects in the school, including a two-kilometre road.

Amaechi also commended Fayemi and the management of EKSU for their prudent management of resources that, he noted, resulted in the infrastructural and intellectual development of the university.

Former Head of State, Gen Abubakar Abdusalami (Rtd), was also in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital on Wednesday, October 8 to commission projects.

At the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), General Abdusalami commissioned the Works Department building, the Outpatient Department complex and the Hospital Library. He also commissioned the administrative block of the School of Nursing as well as the Erinjiyan Water Treatment Plant at Erinjiyan Ekiti.

Explaining his performance in the health sector, Governor Fayemi said the huge investment of his government in the health sector was targeted at banishing poverty among the rank and file of the Ekiti populace. “I have always believed in the age long axiom that health is wealth,” he explained.

Fayemi added that he decided to initiate the social security for the elderly as a back up to the free health mission where over 500,000 people had benefited. He added that he had also sponsored a good number of the vulnerable groups and those with complicated health situations abroad for robust medical treatment, particularly kidney transplant and other organic ailments. He urged the incoming government to consolidate on this lofty feat in the interest of all.

The following day, Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was in Ekiti where he commissioned the Ire Burnt Bricks factory in Ire-Ekiti. The factory, it was gathered, had been moribund for 23 years before it was resuscitated by Fayemi’s administration. It was gathered that the company now employs about 1, 000 workers. Kwankwaso, who also commissioned the Ero Irrigation Scheme at Ikosun Ekiti, was quite excited at the resuscitation of the Ire Burnt Bricks factory. He promised that he would also resuscitate the Kano Bricks Factory in his native state.

Said he: “When I was coming here, I told the governor that I have a similar factory in Kano. If he had mentioned that to me, certainly I would have done something about that factory. I want to tap from you and implement same in Kano. When I go back, I will see what I can do to bring back my bricks industry as it has been done here.”

Also on Thursday, October 9, Lagos Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola did the public presentation of the Gazetted Laws of Ekiti. The Lagos governor caused some stir as his helicopter landed at the helipad of the new Government House atop the Ayoba Hills. He commended Fayemi for doing a yeoman’s job in the state.

While stressing the need for the independence of the Nigerian judiciary, Fashola noted that the independence of the judiciary would enable the ordinary citizens access to justice in Nigeria.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) averred that only leaders who care about the people would invest in laws just as the Fayemi-led administration has done. In his words, when there is no law, illegality and disorderliness will thrive.

At the commissioning of yet another social security scheme of the Fayemi administration, the YESSO programme, World Bank representative, Prof. Foluso Okunmadewa praised the governor for pursuing programmes that are aimed at transforming the lives of the people. Okunmadewa explained that the YESSO programme was a welfarist intervention programme of the World Bank aimed at reducing poverty by permitting the poor people to access increased opportunities for youth employment and social service delivery.

The World Bank representative disclosed that $50 million had been approved for Ekiti to undertake a water project, affirming that the state represents the World Bank model of development partnership.

Also speaking at the occasion, Dr Fayemi said the Civil Service Transformation Strategy Policy was conceived by his administration with a view to repositioning the State Public Service in line with international best practices.

Fayemi said: “We thank God that we can now look back at our efforts with pride, knowing that our good efforts in the development of the state have not been in vain. I am particularly glad that as this administration is transiting out, we are bequeathing among other legacies, a virile, professional and dynamic civil service that would serve as the main driver of sustainable development to the new administration.”

On Sunday, October 12, the new Governor’s Lodge, Ayoba Villa was billed to be commissioned by Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal and world-acclaimed writer and Africa’s first Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka.

On Tuesday, October 14, the Samsung Engineering Academy, designed as a training centre for technicians on ICT, is billed for commissioning by former Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande. The College of Technical and Commercial Agriculture, Isan-Ekiti would be commissioned on Tuesday by Lt. Gen Alani Akinrinade who is also billed to commission the Fountain Food Processing Company the following day.

It was gathered that some agric projects, including a rice processing plant, cassava processing plant, oil processing plant and poultry processing plant, were commissioned by the deputy governor, Professor Modupe Adelabu.

Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Olayinka Oyebode said the Civic Centre that was initiated by the Fayemi administration could not be completed. “But since it has been named after the late deputy governor, Mrs. Adunni Olayinka, her burst will be unveiled,” he said.

The Ifaki-Iworoko-Ado dual carriageway, which was initiated by the Segun Oni administration and completed by the Fayemi administration, will be the last project to be commissioned on Wednesday, October 15. It will be commissioned by the former governor of the state, Chief Segun Oni before Dr. Fayemi bids farewell to the Government House in Ekiti.

Which faith are you people talking about? You are a Christian only because you are born in Eastern Nigeria or in Western Nigeria or in Europe or America. If you were born by parents who are Sokoto indigenes, you will be a Muslim today.

If Pope Francis was born in Saudi Arabia by Saudi indigenes, today he will be a Muslim. Also, if the king of Saudi Arabia and the Sheikh of Qatar were born in Owerri by Catholic parents, today they will both be staunch Catholics.

These religious bigots are just over the whole place. The whitemen brought their religions to colonize us. Imaging so-call Christian missionaries capturing our fore-fathers, chaining them down and transporting them to whiteman's land to work as slave. And you call them missionaries of God. The same way Usmand Dan Fodio waged war in the North in order to capture the North in the name of Islam even when Northern Nigeria by then was already practicing Islam. The whitemen came to tell us that our gods are evil and their god is good, yet the God the exported to us killed more people in the Bible and the Quran than the people all our gods (ogun, sango, obatala, oya, amadioha, okija e.t.c.) put together have been accused of killing.

I am a Muslim because I was born into Islam, my wife is a Christian because she was born into Christianity. We are happy together. You all practice one religion or the other because you were born into it. How many of us researched into all the religions of the world before concluding that the one you currently practice is the best. You cannot just have idea about one thing and say that it is the best in the world, until you compare and contract it with all others. ogun and sango worshipers are living peacefully with each other and you tell me that Christians and Muslims that are also at each others throat are better than ogun and sango worshippers.

waternogetenemy:
wat Nigeria is dat? Southwest yoruba Nigeria? Now get dis into ur empty head, I said it before and will reiterate, there is no place for Islam in the east. If they like, let them pay Peter Obi to answer shecow, Igbos remain Christians untill Christ come again.

Sorry, I am posting with my friend's I'd. Please when is Jesus coming? This story of Jesus coming back soon has been going round for more than 2000 years. Does soon means one million years? This story is looking more and more like fallacy.

Nonsense, I though the body of Christ is one, why the division? Anyway, I am a muslim and my wife is a christian, we are happier than Pastor & Mrs Chris & Anita Oyakhilome and Pastor Chris Okotie & his two wives. We are even happier than Olusegun obasanjo & his numerous wives, also happier than David Mark and his numerous wives. We are also happier than Atiku Abubakar and his numerous muslim wives, happier than Isa Yuguda & his numerous muslim wives and happier than the Emir of Kano & his numerous muslim wives.

bruno419:
did i hear u say a bag of rice was sold at 3500 in 2008?



chai,u can lie o

Please tell me the price of a bag of rice in 2008 and prove me wrong. There is no reason for me not to like Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla, if not for anything at least for the fact that I can boast in the presence of my non-Nigerian friends that my sister Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla was World Bank Managing Director, all Nigerians are proud of her. But as for managing the Nigerian economy, I am sorry, her best is not good enough.

kenex4ever:
Bitter people always find fault in anything good about others. When ur godfather becomes president by 3015 we will see the kind of minister he will appoint. If d news was a negative one I know u would be jumping up by now. May God keep all u haters alive so dat u will be commenting on our progress.

Whom do you call bitter people? People that eat bitter leaf soup or people who refused to think the way you think?

Please who is the better boxer between Wike, Omisore, Alao-Akala and Fayose? I can recollect that Fayose beat up a judge in Ekiti. Omisore beat up Isiaka Adeleke in Osun. Alao-Akala was expelled from Nigeria Police Force while Wike just displayed his boxing skills yesterday. Please let put them all in a cage and see who is Nigerian champion.

tit:
Tinubu has turned Lagos into a laughing stock-fish.
He has sucked the place dry!

You are right my sister, Tinubu has sucked the place dry as you said; but Tinubu still want something to suck, can you offer him your b00bs? You PDP e-rat, has this last month salary been paid for internet trotting?

Johnnyessence:
that woman that bring about fuel subsidy scam ,d woman that bring unemployed graduate to 80% ,d woman that doesn't that doesnt release funds for d pipe borne water bill in river state,d woman that doesn't pay d allocation of d state in time most especially d opposition state ,d woman that doesn't fear God.Almighty God is watching oooo.

You are saying nonsense. This woman is our angel. This wonderful woman released over one billion naira as feeding budget to Mr & Mrs Jonathan last year so that our first family could eat well and the result is showing on the sheppopotamus first lady and baby hippopotamus first son. The same woman released over $9.7 million to the presidency to smuggle to South Africa using our dearest CAN president's evangelism jet; unfortunately, these jealous South Africans want to use style to embezzle our smuggled money. This same God-sent woman in conjunction and collaboration with our God-chosen presido has been deducting states' monthly allocation since Jonathan became president. Price of a carton of frozen foods (fish & turkey) was at 3,000 naira average during Yar'Adua period but it is now 10,000 naira average, a bag of rice was 3,500 during Yar'Adua period but it is between 8,000 and 10,000 naira today. While this woman is minister for fiance, $48 or $20 billion disappeared from the national treasury and is till yet to be found. Graduates are now agberos, okada riders, keke-marwa riders and executive runs girls. Even NYSC is teaching graduates hair dressing, nail beautification and tailoring in NYSC camp after spending 4 to 8 years in Uni/Poly.The economic is growing astronomically only in the pockets of the ruling class while the masses are wallowing in poverty. This God-sent woman deserves all awards on earth.

ONE DAY, THE POOR WILL HAVE NOTING TO EAT BUT THE RICH.

My very close friend is regretting leaving his illiterate ex-girlfriend for his graduate but arrogant wife.

Yes, Fayemi must be probed, I hate thieves and Fayemi may be one; but that is after EFCC has probed the disappeared $48 or $20 billion oil money and the $9.3 million plus $5.7 million or how much is it sef that South Africa seized.

Not surprised at all. The same people that you see at APC rally, you will see them also at PDP rally and at LP rally. All na for 1000 naira or less.

If you as a lady go to your mother and tell her that your husband is cheating on you. Your mother will say, please my daughter forgive him and forget the issue and try as much as possible to make yourself more attractive to him so that your husband will stop looking outside. Your mother will add that all men are equal and that your dad did similar things when they (your parents were younger).

However, if your elder brother comes home to tell your same mother that he caught his wife cheating, your mother will say that a cheating wife is a death trap to the husband and advice your brother to send the adulterous wife away. Most parents will do same.

Whether you like it or not, a man is not equal to a woman.

Yeah, you are very right. Atiku is Jacob Zuma's business associate, that is why SA is trying to discredit GEJ's government.
Yeah, it was Atiku that packed about $9 million into Oritshejafor's evangelism jet and flew it to SA to smuggle arms and ammunition.

You EEEEDIOTA !!

Atiku Abubakar has 30 children, is FG going to kill 29 of them? David Mark has many children, is FG going to kill all except one. Mr & Mrs Gudluck Jonathan has three "known" children is FG going to kill two of them?

Yomieluv:
If that would make it efficient,and make it compete with other world-class airport,no biggie.

Yes, the same way PHCN has become efficient after so-called privatization.

Greyworld: And so hw is "PDP" as a party relevant in dis issue?

Ask google.

Obafemi Kolawole, a political associate to Chief Ganiyu Oladiran, a Peoples Democratic Party chieftain in Ilesa, was on 23 September 2014 convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment with whipping for rape.
The said Obafemi was alleged to have on 15th September 2007 raped an Action Congress of Nigeria (now All Progressives Congress) member (Tosin Ajakaye, who was pregnant as at the time of the incident) after the 2007 gubernatorial election in Osun state.
Kolawole was charged before the State High Court sitting at Ilesa, on a two-count charge of rape and indecent assault contrary to Sections 358&360 of the Criminal Code cap 34, Vol II, Laws of Osun respectively in the case of The State Vs Obafemi Kolawole HIL\2c\2009.
The prosecution called a total of four witnesses including Tosin Ajakaye, Lawal Sikiru, Dr. A.I Isawumi and the Investigating police officer Sgt Olatunji Arojo in proof of its case, while Obafemi testified in his defence and called additional four witnesses including Chief Ganiyu Oladiran, Adediran Kehinde, Adewusi Olowolodu and Olayinka Alege.
At the trial, the prosecutor narrated her ordeal that on 15th September, 2007, the convict and his cohorts, who are not police officers came to arrest her at her house at about 7:30 p.m. for an unknown offence. On sighting them and knowing their antecedent in the vicinity, she took to her heels. The convict pursued, caught up with her and beat her up. Having overpowered her, he stripped her naked and raped her.
“When my cry for help became unbearable, he covered her mouth. Unfortunately, those living in the same compound with me had gone to Mosque because it was the period of the Muslim fast. Thereafter he bundled me into a waiting jeep to join two other men whom I found in the same predicament as mine,” she said.
She later explained that they were driven to the home of Chief Ganiyu Oladiran, a PDP chieftain, and tied to a tree where the trios were mercilessly flogged. She said Kolawole later untied her and plucked out her pubic hair, put it in her mouth to swallow with dry gin, and thereafter went ahead to insert a tin opener into her vagina and as well poured dry gin all over her body. There he raped her again.
PDP symbol
Lawal Sikiru who testified as ‘prosecutor witness 2′ corroborated her story. He said he was one of the two naked men in the waiting jeep; the other was one Gbadamosi Lasun. He stated further that he had earlier on received his own share of beating, and bundled naked into the jeep belonging to Chief Ganiyu Oladiran when Ajakaye was brought in naked. He confirmed that the trio were driven to Chief Ganiyu’s house and tied to a tree where they were mercilessly beaten and the content of dry gin was poured all over their body.
According to him, Ajakaye was untied by the accused who plucked out her pubic hair, inserted a tin opener into her vagina, and as well went ahead to pour dry gin in her (vagina) and then sought the consent of the Chief to have sexual intercourse with her.
The chief consented and she was taken to the boot of the jeep from where they heard her shouting for help.
The Medical examination conducted on Ajakaye three days after the incident at LAUTECH by Dr. Isawumi revealed that there was penetration and that the swap taken from her was full of alcohol. It was also discovered medically, that as at the time of the incident the prosecution was pregnant.
Sgt Arojo the IPO, on his own part, testified that Ajakaye and others were brought to the State Police Command Monitoring Unit at Okefia by Chief Ganiyu Oladiran who claimed that the trio whom he got arrested were the ones who assaulted him after the April 2007 Gubernatorial Election in the State.
According to him, while receiving the statements of all concerned, and conducting investigation into the matter, it was discovered that Chief Ganiyu Oladiran’s captives were indeed the victims, and the supposed complainants and cohorts were the accused persons and were consequently charged to court.
Obafemi Kolawole (the convict) in his own defence, denied the allegations made against him. He admitted going to Ajakaye’s house on the fateful day and arresting her, but denied stripping her naked, rather he handed her over to his colleagues, who drove her and other captives to Chief Ganiyu’s house, where they were later handed over to the police.
His other witnesses also admitted that Ajakaye and others were driven to the Chief’s house. Chief Ganiyu Oladiran, while testifying in defense of the accused claimed his co-accused at the Magistrate Court who arrested the trio were his sympathizers.
The presiding Judge, Honourable Justice A. B. Abdulkareem, while finding the accused guilty as charged, pronounced that although the corroboration of prosecution witness two was limited to assault, it does not corroborate penetration which is the vital ingredient necessary for rape.
However, the medical report tendered by Dr Isawumi corroborated the needed penetration and he thereafter found Kolawole guilty. The learned trial Judge held that the Prosecution Counsel Mrs Rachel Ojimi, a Chief State Counsel, in the Ministry of Justice, has been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and consequently convicted the accused. He however struck out the charge of indecent assault since it carries a lesser punishment.
The imports of this judgment are as follows:
(a) Our society is still governed by laws and that notwithstanding the fact that you have perceived that some individuals have wronged you does not give you the liberty or license to take laws into your hands and forgetting the maxim ’UBI JUS IBI REMEDIUM’ meaning, where there is a right, there is a concomitant remedy.
(b) That our courts are still the last hope of the common man, though justice may be slow yet its long hand will surely catch up with the offender no matter how highly or lowly placed or affiliated to a political party.
