Sadly, many here fail to agree with you that Aregbesola is not the problem. The writer is actually insinuating that Aregbesola is the root cause of the ipoor result, which for me is laughable

He contributed majorly to.it with the anarchy he brought into the educational system.

He misplaced his priority in the sector and those misplaced priorities include:

1. School demolition and mergers and the attendant impact on the psychology of those children

2. Same uniform that promoted truancy and indiscipline

3. Teachers not being regularly paid their salaries

4. Opon imo tablet that was just a white elephant project to siphon money without any meaningful value added to those children

Do you have a comprehension problem? The man was defending his client who is having legal battle with his wife and the lawyer got a arrested don't you get it?

You must have read the write up with a binoculars. You better read it again with your natural eyes..

kayfra:
One excellent student while the rest are mediocre is something to write home about?

Aregbesola is not the problem, it's the youths. If you check NECO results of 2009, Osun was 35th out of 36th. A preposterous result! So as bad as 29th sounds, it's an improvement. There is a rot in the South West and if we don't do anything about it your future is bleak.

Issues of teacher motivation is not local to Osun. States like Anambra have adopted a good approach with incentives for teachers willing to go into villages.


The reason south east is top ten and will remain top ten is their leaders returned the schools back to the missions and their students embrace learning while ours have lost it. The kids in the SE are extremely smart and will continue to excel while we defend the indefensible.

Only Tinubu had the balls to return all the mission schools back to the original owners. The rest are pandering and sucking up to Muslim leaders while our standards continue to fall. We should all be ashamed.

The highlighted point is very key.

The problem is who will the state govt return the schools to, after demolishing various schools and merging them. Is it the Muslim or Christian or community bodies that used to own the school or they will share the schools equally.

Returning back the schools to th religious bodies and communities will definitely ensure discipline return back to the schools.

Thanks for that salient contribution.

I will be very honest and say this piece is lacking in everything that relates to common sense. So the performance for one year in a state that has been highly rated in education under the same administration now means he is "bastardising education". Even under this same year, if the writer is not aware, Osun still produced the best student in NECO exam nationwide. The article also talks of the quality of teachers which is a nonsense , seeing as Osun as has not sacked teachers that produced great results before.
Are there challenges of motivating those teachers? Yes, because of shortage of funds which is being managed right now. It is only good the writer admits to the building of new standard school buildings which is a crucial as all other factors to educational success.
Please let us be factual in criticisms, there is no bastardisation of education in Osun. Challenges maybe and they have proven to be surmountable

Performance of 1year!!!!!! Are you for real.

Please do the trend analysis in the last 3years and see the progressive downward slide the state is witnessing in education.

Are you for real, which Osun State produced the best student in Neco? Maybe you are talking of Osun State in Western Sahara and not that of Nigeria. Your propaganda and lies is not helping anybody. Tell the world the name of the school and if possible the name of the child with the best result.

Osun did not sack teachers agreed, but are the teachers paid as and when due or they do not have families to take care of. How will such a teacher with half salary per month be motivated to give his or her best to the children? Please, you are not making any sense.

Our only.point of agreement is the school building and also note that they are FG-assisted projects through UBE scheme. If it has been left to this administration, I am 101% sure they will never be completed, just like other projects.

The state did not suddenly face financial challenges. Some people drove the state into that state with their recklessness and unrestricted and dubious borrowings. The question remains, why were the projects for which the monies were borrowed for never completed and the monies have also developed wings? Answer that and get back to me.

G1gbolahan:
So you collected data on okada riders? Please share it with us.

If your eyes cannot see the obvious upsurge, maybe you will require a coke bottom lens glasses.

The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA and senior lawyers in the country, have condemned the recent arrest and continued detention of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Rickey-Tarfa, SAN, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, since Friday without releasing him on bail. Former President of the NBA, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu , SAN, commenting on the issue said; “I think that this is an unfortunate development, a situation where lawyers are arrested in court while performing their lawful duties, this must be condemned in unequivocal terms. However, this is the work of an agency, no government can allow this, especially when you have a senior lawyer, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria as the Vice-President, the government will do its best to avoid such things. It is the work of overzealous agents, we will call on the Vice-President to intervene and ensure his release.
“Since the NBA President has intervened, they should release him to NBA President for him to appear on Monday to answer to whatever charges they have against him. He is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, he cannot jump bail, This is utter disregard for the rule of law and the sanctity of the legal profession guaranteed by the Constitution.” Another former President of the NBA, Mr. Joseph Bodunrin Daudu, SAN, said: “ Well, you see, this is what we face with the current EFCC. Let’s get the facts straight, all of us who are defending accused persons are now endangered species, all of us are being investigated by the EFCC, so we are all waiting for the day they will come and carry us.” Reacting, the law firm, Rickey Tarfa &Co. in a statement signed by its Partner and Head of Chambers, Mr. John Olusegun Odubela, said: “It is germane to state that the matter before the court has no bearing with corruption related issue. It is purely between a husband and wife struggling for the control of a manufacturing company they jointly promoted.It is purely a matrimonial issue that went sour.”

Nigerian journalists and their sensational headlines.

The law firm has already explained why EFCC arrested him. The wahala is between him and his wife. Is it a crime for the wife to refuse being defrauded by his husband?

Op Weldon, hide and seek game politics it will not help you guys, note that, not just education, western region is the most indebted region in Nigeria, let me not bore you with others statistics available for your guys to have a good discussion, it was so pathetic that no core southwestern states made top ten, instead of them to question what is really going on with their education system they started accusing southeast on miracle centres, but from statistics I have from exams ethics and marshal southwest occupied 2nd position in exam malpractice index after south south, southeast is the least on the index table, Southwestern youths should stop running away from their problems, like some of you always carry Igbo matter for head, they said Igbo doesn't have a national leader, when you look around you, you will notice they are doing credibly well when compare with other tribes with so called "national leader" Then who is to blame government, national leaders, religious leaders or citizens that decided to keep mute to avoid been redical by their neighbors, but facts remain you can't continue to leave in fools Paradise to pretend all is well, one day it will show it urgly head just like what you guys are witnessing now.

Please face the following problems beleaguring your pathetic region :

1. Criminality
2. Brain drain
3. Migration
4. Visionless leadership

After solving those, you would have gained the right to talk about our region.

TheArchangel:
This is a right thinking person. Its time to call Aregbesola to order. We Igbos are sojourners, so we have to lend our voices to this call to revamp the educational system in Osun state cos I know not the school where my relations might attend if I happens to be in Osun.

Please keep your mouth shut and face the problem of your state of origin and not state of residence.

@ Dabullshit or whatever is your name.

I chose to ignore your maggot or whatever you said in your post. I guess you are referring to yourself and your lineage.

You are totally in discordant with the state and shut your mouth if you do not know anything about what you are talking about.

Was Omisore ever the Gov of the state? Oyinlola started the school feeding under the OBJ-led govt pivot school feeding school scheme in 6states. Was the result of students as bad as this?

Aregbe refurbished schools with FG's fund under the UBE scheme as the only project that is gradually being completed. How are we sure if it has been a solely State project, it would have ever been completed, just like the other abandoned projects littering the whole state.

What is the average cost of transportation for school children in the state? Is it not the same #20? What value has the govt added by providing buses that they are paying the same amount as public transport for?

More importantly, how has the buses impacted positively on the results of the children.

The Governor is mortgaging the future of the children, the same way he mortgaged the future of the state an running it into a bankruptcy status. His own children have the best of the best education, whereas children of the downtrodden are being subjugated to be subservient to his own children and that of his cohorts in the future.

See beyond stup1d political party affiliation.

OyeniyiLeke:
Thank you sir

I am shocked at the Naivety of the OP

Naivety!!!!!!


What a word.

Face reality for once and stop this rubbish. Is the upsurge in Okada riding not bothering you? Is the alarming and increasing number of drop outs not worrisome to you knowing this poses security threat to the State and the region at large?

If facing reality is Naivety, let it be.

DaBullIT:
Espionage ?? that's your monika ??

I wouldn't believe any trash you say , I am from Osun , i work outside Osun, trust me when i say Osun's standard of education is the best among the rest , should we talk of infrastructures ? tablets , feeding , bus programs e.t.c ?? The only issue is that of salary and i think he owes less than a month now

When you lie on Internet , remember it's a global city everyone from everywhere can dispute your claims with fact


If i may ask , don't tell me the school, tell me the city where you are serving and i'll show you how much of a liar you are `

Will you please stop this nonsense and face reality for once and stop playing sycophancy with the future of these children.

Where are the tablets? How has the feeding translated to better results? Is it the infrastructures that will teach the student or motivated teachers?

You do not even know what you are talking about!!! He owes less than a month. For real!!!! You are sincerely out of tune with reality.

If the standard of education in Osun is the best as you claimed, please explain to us why there has been an unprecedented examination failure since Aregbesola took over in the state?

Why has the quality and standard of education in th state fallen beyond comprehension since our same uniform and Noise making governor took over?

modath:
I am not even moved anymore!! Used to be embarrassed & forlorn when these results are published but not anymore!

Why?

Where are the teachers to impart knowledge of guide these malleable minds

The government is lacklustre & the policies are skewed on the side of unreasonable but have you ever tried to have a conversation with teachers who aren't youth Corp members!

Take a random survey of most these public school teachers, they are almost incapable of expressing themselves intelligibly, what on earth do we then expect them to teach?!

As for Aregbe, he needs divine intervention, he makes policy gaffes on a buy one get one free mode!


The whole country's educational system is bleeped & in need of major restructuring, banking on state governments to do it will achieve moving from zero to nothing!!

They will claim no money & policy constraints & as long as everything still rests with the centre, we need to tackle it from there.

1.We need the Fed govt to implement the abolishment of all these room & parlour insanashional sukuls, they are causing havoc , giving people who don't know better a false sense of fulfillment about what sound education really is & they aren't balanced! No rec & extra curricular facilities.

2. We also need them to penalize schols that employ SSCE "fail outs" as teachers!!!

3. Making teaching attractive, better renumeration, training etc

4. Declare a state of emergency on elementary education because this problem didn't start from secondary, it is from the miming A for Apple (without actually being able to spell the apple) that the gbege starts from!!

The matter get as e be!!

Word.

It is a national crisis, I quite agree.

Was just more concerned about my state of origin than the nation.

kayfra:
The result was shocking. I was shocked beyond belief with what is going on in the SW in general. We've lost our ways.

This is the reason we should not all keep quiet.

We need to champion the call to hold these Governors responsible.

espionage48:
the standard of education in osun state is so low that sometimes I weep for them.. am doing my service there now and I can tell u that the educational system is so bastardized that it is beyond repair

It is so sad that everything in the educational sector and the state took a turn for the worst under the voodoo policies of the administration of Aregbe.

The only projects that are being completed now are the school buildings, which is funded under the FG-assisted UBE scheme.

I am 100% sure that if it had been a 100% state financed project, those schools will never be completed, just like the other failed projects that litter the state.

Lalasticlala and mynd44 FP please.

Towards the end of the week, the media was agog with scorecard of the states in the National WASSCE Examination. It was heart rendering that my dear Osun State was occupying the 27th position. Even northern states with perennial low cut off marks under the guise of the barbaric Educationally Less Developed States, performed creditably well more than the state. Before the dubious reform of our dear noise making governor, a student of Osun State had the best result in the same examination in 2011, and the state has always performed creditably well in all examinations from time immemorial.

The position of the State is the scorecard of Gov. Aregbesola in the educational sector and a great indictment of his failed policies in the education sector. When he organised the Educational Summit and made the erudite and highly respected Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka the head of the Summit that recommended the demolition and merger of schools, we asked him whether Prof Soyinka was an Educationist or a Literary Icon? Aregbe's sycophants told us Prof Soyinka knows it all. Here we are today with the result of the demolition and school merger. I am sure, Awolowo and Bola Ige will be "very proud" of Aregbesola in their graves.

Most of our grandparents were taught under the mango tree but they had good teachers and that is the reason the English of that generation is impeccable. Will I rather have a gigantic beautiful FG-assisted building (through UBE scheme) without teachers or teachers that are not paid regularly or when being paid they are usually paid half-salary and atimes, quarter salary; than being taught under a mango tree with good and happy teachers? Building are only good for aesthetics, the quality and dedication of the teachers are the ingredients that make the Educational sector vibrant and worthwhile. Mr. Governor will rather have the former and we can all see the result of his actions today.

Instead of the religious leaders to lay emphasis on the quality of education and regular payment of the teachers, they were all fighting for wearing of hijab, cassock or masquerade attire for their wards to school. Can you all see the results of your f00lishness now. Let me break it down for you, in case you do not know the meaning and implications of this. Your children are the ones attending all these water-coloured coated building that the Governor is celebrating, whereas his own children are in private schools, either in Nigeria or anywhere in the world. His children will have access to the best teachers in the world, while yours will have poor teachers or even no teacher at all to teach them. His children will pass their exams because they had good teachers and get ahead of your children in life, not because your children are dummies, but they simply do not have motivated teachers to guide through the process of adequate preparation for the examinations. Indirectly and directly they will be suffering for the stupidity of the religious sentiments and bigotry of their parents. The worst part of it is that all of your children, maybe i should use most of the children and not all, will end up becoming subservient to the children of the Governor and his cohorts, simply because you stood for hijab, sultana, cassock and masquerade attire when a mass rally for the dwindling quality of education should have been organised.

I do not even want to dwell on the failed Opon Imo tablet. This is a project that tax payers fund was merely used to enrich the few. If the fund had been used to purchase physical textbooks for libraries of different schools, state libraries and LG libraries, will it not have been better? Will posterity judge the Governor and his party APC right on this?

Mr. Governor even went ahead to make all the children of public schools in the state to be wearing the same uniform, stating that it will promote equality, as if the bunch of the children going to public schools are not from the same rung of the ladder of the society already. That was the excuse given, but we all know the beneficiary of the contract and the reason while the monopoly of the sale was created for the contractor. The same uniformity of school wear only promoted gross indiscipline, truancy and lawlessness in schools. The result of another not-well-thought-through policy of Mr. Governor is starring all and sundry in the face.

Borrowing money for projects for the state and failing to complete the projects is criminal enough, but dragging the status of the education of the State to that of ELDS is an injustice to the souls of our past heroes that sacrificed to create an enduring legacy by not looting the treasury but rather used the fund to provide quality and free education for all.

The consequences of this mass failure will be seen in 10years time, if these children do not amount to anything in life and they will have no other choice than to take to crimes to make a living. The whole society will bear the brunt of today's actions of Aregbesola and the ignoble silence of the whole state.

Mr. Aregbesola, you still have 2years to reverse the dungeon of failure you are plunging the education of the state into. save the future of this children by giving them quality education and not artificial water-coloured buildings. These children will prefer to be taught under the mango-tree by quality and motivated teachers than being in an aesthetic building without teachers. Your own children had the 2 -- aesthetic building and quality teachers/education. Please give only the latter to these children. That is the only way they will not end up serving your own children in the nearest future, that is the only way they will become somebody in life and that is the only way the society can sleep peacefully in the not too distant future. If you had spent the money you wasted in changing the name of the state to State of Osun, likewise the Government letterheads and signposts, on Education maybe the state will not be occupying the shameful 27th state in the federation.

For the elders in the state and religious leaders, you all need to jettison your political affiliations and religious grandstanding and stand for the future of the children of this state. Parents should also make their wards to see the implications of their failure on their future and the nation.

My one kobo.

When will the callous ipods and Massobs stop feeding lies to their hopeless followers raising the hopes of the gullible ones among them for nothing. I don't understand how a group of people can be scamming their own people like this. Na wa o.

Let ICC arrest the following 1st, then we can take your propaganda serious:

1. George Bush

2. Tony Blair

3. Uhuru Kenyatta

4. Al-Bashir

5. Putin

EasternActivist:
You don't need to pity an Igbo man or child because he has the ability to take care and feed your hungry looking retards... That lives on public donations in ekiti and so on....

It must be a curse being Yoruba BC of the alarming rate of use and dump of you coneheads...

I am just imagining if you will be the next abobaku to your fking ooni... Lol what does a common Yoruba man like you add to the Yoruba society.. Ritualist is your leaders home calling...

In the political space, Yoruba's are bootlickers and are only used by their Fulani masters when the time calls... In the history of Yoruba political adventure they have been paid back with their coin multiple times having dealt with both betrayal, subjection and use and dump strategy...

In conclusion, I pity an average coward Yoruba because their lives aren't theirs as they live for the benefits of their master. I doubt Yoruba's ruling this Nigeria in her lifetime.

Dear work slave of Nigeria, we have rules this country to the extent of almost playing God by determining who rules by our visit. Ask GEJ and PMB in 2011 and 2015 respectively.

The day an Igbo man is called Mr. President in this country, that means a black man must be the Queen of England. Year dey smell.

As you are procreating, you are delivering those hapless children to serve our children because the child of a conquered slave is a slave by birth. It is a vicious cycle f you and your Clifford Orji people, that there is no end in sight. You are born to work for us day and night. That is why we expect more of you to troop to SW, to work your a55 off in the development of our economy while yours keep getting moribund and hopeless.

Your children learn our language and culture, they sing our songs. We are gradually and subtly colonising the ones on our soil, while as more of your migrate from your Syrian-like land, we do same to you.

It is a task we are gradually fulfilling. A stroll around Lagos shows the number of igbos that speaks Yoruba fluently and whereas we do not give a hoot about kedu.

Scholes007:
You know i hate talking to people that prefer crude insults than argue. I maynot have a verified data on this, but Let me tell you clearly, if your go to a park to board a bus to lagos say in aba, there you will see buses from same lagos coming back to aba. Last week i went to asaba, but now i am in my home state. You see many are businessmen who travel every now and then.

Then you need to travel to Ore and stay there for 3days and Take statistical data of how many migrants are arriving from SE and how many are emigrating back.

You will get the clearer picture when you dare to do that simple assignment.

EasternActivist:
And your conquered slave is dominating you in your Lagos and controls your economy in your land....
Perpetual Fulani slaves that's what Yoruba's are.

You are our tax horse and slaves in Lagos, you control nadal.

See this osu caste, the 5th class citizen of Nigeria and the conquered Nigerian slave calling someone by the name that best describe who he is in this country.


I do pity every Igbo child because they are mere slaves within the geographical entity called Nigeria.

Scholes007:
everything ends up as beer parlour gist. Igbos a very travelled due to the nature of most of their business. Do you know that the same number that is entering lagos is the same number leaving it also?

Another lie from the pit of hell.

Seems you are living in Nauru or Fiji or Tuvalu islands. You are obviously in oblivion of the brain drain and manpower migration facts occurring in alaigbo. You need help"

Scholes007:
let me other things you many not know, some places were still fighting after days of cease fire, some places the nigeria and biafra soldiers were eating together and taking handshakes while in other place nigerian soldier were committing war crimes. With that said i am off and have a great night. Will not be discussing nigerian civil war again with you.

Point of correction: there was no cease fire anywhere. A party surrender to the superior firepower of the other party. Biafrau.d surrendered to Nigeria. Simple as ABC. No story.

The undeniable fact was, is and will forever be Biafrau.d was defeated and the citizens of the rebellious state were conquered and acquired as war booties.

Sleep tight.

Scholes007:
now i see, you like beer parlour gist. The eroded area keep showing that there is very much economic activites in it. If you are in any distribution company ask them places of interest and get back to me.

Growing in economic activities and the migration keeps increasing on a daily basis!!!! That must be the 8th wonder of the world, that can only be achieved by chest beating aliens from mars.

Scholes007:
you see why i told you that you are a talkative. 15,000 nigerian soldier fought the war... Bla bla bla. I hate to say this but For the records, nigeria started massive recruit of soldiers especially from the north during the war. Those soldier were told that the igbos have finnished and were recruited on daily basis. At least go do some findings talkative. I could refer you to some books written by the northerns then. And wait,There are things i also notice, the yoruba writers were more of we did while the northerns were more of let's thank God and pray it wouldn't happen again. Read more about that ok. Also note most of the dead were women and children who mostly died because of the hostile nature of war environment.

Story for the gods.

You were conquered and thank your stars that you were not all lined up and annihilated, in the manner which Sri Lankan Army did to their own recalcitrant rebels.

Scholes007:
and you were doing the head to head count right? 3/4 my foot. At least ask you people that have travelled out to tell you stories.

We do not need to do any head count. Just collation of the travellers manifest of ekene dilichukwu, young shall grow etc will give us a rough estimate of immigrants that arrive from Syria-like and gully eroded land of alaigbo on a daily basis.

Scholes007:
most people will laugh @ you claims but the truth is you guys are bunch of talkatives always talking with little or no action. If we are to take defeat it is to Nigerian soldiers and their foreign mercenaries ok. Not to a 5 months talkative who no nothing about the war. The war is gone, the people that know the cost of the war are quite and can't risk another and talkative are making noise. People like you do not know that places like igba akwu in anambra didn't sense a single war. Places like otuocha was slaughter house where most nigerian soldiers lost their lives. I keep saying may the soul of all who died in the war rest in peace. Amen.

Otu-Whatever was a slaughter slab of Nigerian army that had a population of less than 15,000 as at then and what should we call where 3million people were massacred for fun.

The right word for such a place should either be Golgotha or Hades.

Of course, Nigerian Army defeated you and the same army comprises of Westerners and northerners. Is Adekunle a Kanuri? Or ObJ is from Daura?

If Nigeria used mercenary, it was because we can afford them, no one stopped you from hiring Angel Gabriel, Michael and Raphael from fighting for you too. In war, all things are fair and just.

In 30years time, descendants of Boko Haram members too will be telling us, Nigeria was able to defeat their evil caliphate because of the South African mercenaries contracted by the Nigerian Army. If the world actually loves you, people would have volunteered in thousands to fight for you, just like they are doing for ISIS. You are hated all over the world, no wonder Indonesia have a room of Igbos head.

momentoftruth:
i don't blame you, travel out from your wasteland and see how east is before you sprew thrash.

East I know not, but SE I know very well, as the desolate land of gully erosion which 3/4 of his population has ran away from.

iPods will wail again that that the circular is directed at them.

Over to iPods and the Wailers.

Thumbs up comptroller general.

EternalTruths:
What brought the issue of Igbos to this wonderful topic of truth

Ask your chameleonic OP.

MonPro:
Sir, it is 'Nature abhors vacuum'. Stick to your bigotry and stop trying to take a shot at intellectualism. It's a tall order the load of bigotry can never let you reach. My cent!

Nature abhors vacuum only in the land of gully erosion and not anywhere else in the Milky Galaxy.

I don't give a hoot about what you think about me. I gladly destroy igbos on NL and make their days miserable, until they learn to leave out Yorubas out of their shenanigans. We are not your mate. You should be dragging issues with your mates like the koma people and not us.

Scholes007:
as usuall talk and talk and talk. The real people that fought the war are out there counting there loses and the usuall talkatives are talking. Let me tell you no northern will be here talking. there are told the real truth but you as usuall your loud mouthed fathers will be telling you tales of the moon light. Go out there ask any northern elder you can find his side ok.

Lol.

Who cares!!!!!! The bottom line you were defeated and conquered and you met your Waterloo at Ore before you capitulated. Adekunle and his commandos finished you off and you finally surrender to another Yoruba man in the name of OBJ.

We have always been your albatross. Deal with it.
