In the North Fulani speak Hausa. In Illorin they speak Yoruba; but they have their own language called Fulfude which they speak to among themselves. That Fula or Fulfude is the native language of Buhari and Atiku and Saraki and Tambuwal and Ribadu. Fulani are the geniuses of political organization.
how come Ribadu, Buhari and atiku are all fulani names and Saraki is not?

So the Emir Kolapo of Illorin is not Fulani because of his Yoruba name abi?Fulani adopt the names of the people around them in order to politicaly adapt and it works for them. There is nothing shameful about that.
The same way that adopted Emeka in Enugu or Igboshume in Umuleri abi?

What is the surname of the Emir?

Ibos too adopt the names of people around them in order to politically adapt, if teh example of Bamidele Azikwe is taken into cognisance?

Please you can check up Igbere TV on the Facebook. You will get more bad infos on T.A. Administration.
Sun newspaper wanted so much to pull down T.A. administration, and T.A government did everything possible to cripple OUKs political machinery. Both are criminals, but for this topic about non payment of salaries, T.A. did his best. That's why you will never find us civil servants condemning him about non payment of salaries.
NLC said Abia is owing.

''The Task Force of the Nigerian Labor Congress has revealed that 18 state governors are owing civil servants in their states salaries and arrears of pensions running into months. The leadership of NLC says workers in these states might be embarking on a nationwide strike on Monday May 25th if their state governors do not pay before the new administration takes over.

According to Punch, the states owing salaries or pensions are; Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Benue, Cross River, Ekiti, Imo, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers and Zamfara states.

[b]
Abia state was listed as the state that had not paid its civil servants salaries running into nine months. The state is also said to be owing workers of the Hospital Management Board eight months’ salary; Abia State Universal Basic Education Board, six months; Abia State Polytechnic, five months; local government workers, four months; and teachers, three months’ salary arrears.''

Can NLC be lying too?

The story was carried by an Igbo newspaper and they dare not carry if they do not have their facts and figures. Abia State Govt did not come out debunk the report or sue the paper by seeking redress in court.

I think you should be asking your osun brothers and sisters, why they rely so much on government to the extent that people are now coming to their aid while their fellow government workers in Abia state are bouncing. Forget about chest beating, Igbos can survive even in hell that's why they are stronger and better than yerebas take it or leave it.
Go to brain bank and borrow a brain.

All the noise about salary in Osun are political. Serves the stup1d stubborn governor right. He is being paid back in his propaganda scheming coin.

Actually I don't know why you bitter. You post suggests that Civil Servants in Abia state are being owed 10 months salary.
I have to point out to you that my ministry in the midst of many others have been paid. The Teachers and ASUBEB people living in my compound has all been paid. My mums pension has been paid up to February 2015.
So what exactly is your problem? T.A. may be the worst governor, but he did try his best to pay his workers.
This is a report of last week:
[b]
These are, certainly, not the best of times for civil servants in Abia State. While thousands of them were sacked because they are not indigenes of the state, those who are ‘fortunate’ to remain in service are not paid as and when due. Worse still, those who dare to demand the several months of salary arrears they are being owed are harassed, intimidated and/or summarily dismissed. The latest case involves a lec­turer at the College of Education (Tech­nical), Arochukwu (names withheld by us) who was fired recently for ‘insulting’ the state governor by appealing to him to facilitate the payment of their backlog of salary arrears through a text message. The said lecturer was interrogated and asked to beg the governor so that the matter would end. But to his utter shock, he was fired a few days later.

However, workers of Bende Local Gov­ernment Area recently dared the powers-that-be, as it were and took to the streets of Umuahia, the capital of the state to protest against the introduction of a unique formula of sharing the statutory allocation accruing to local governments in the state by ballot­ing.

According to the workers numbering over 500, the ‘Abia formula’ has created confusion in the running of the local govern­ment areas in the state. They also protested against the non-payment of four months ar­rears of salary owed them in 2012.

The unique formula

In October last year, the Abia State gov­ernment introduced a new system of sharing allocation from the federation account to lo­cal government areas in the state. A source explained it thus: “It is known as ‘balloting’. What the new system entails is that when­ever the state government receives local governments’ allocation from the federation account, the normal Joint account Commit­tee ((JAC) meeting would be convened.

“At the said JAC meetings, lots would be drawn with ‘yes’ and ‘no’ written on them and put in a ballot box. Then the transi­tion committee chairmen would be called upon to pick. Any local government which is lucky and the TC chairman picks ‘yes’, would get money for the workers’ sal­ary for the given month but those that were not lucky and their chairmen picked ‘No’, would not be paid.”

The recent Bende workers protest was as a result of the JAC meeting held for the shar­ing of money for the salary of the council workers for the month of December, 2014.

“The TC chairman of Bende LGA ,whose workers were still being owed four months’ salary in 2012, was said to have picked ‘No’ for the month of December. This simply translated that if they were not lucky during the next balloting which comes up in March this year, their December 2014 salary would not be paid even in May,” the source stated.

So, frustrated by the development, the workers matched from the Bende Local Government headquarters to Government House, Umuahia with the intention of seeing Gov Theodore Orji to intimate him of their suffering. But security men could not allow the workers who carried placards and sang songs of sorrow access to the seat of power.

One of the affected workers, who craved anonymity, lamented: “I have never seen this type of arrangement anywhere before. Local government workers have suffered so much under this government. The past ad­ministration in the state never owed us even one month salary, but now we are owed up to four to five months arrears of salary de­spite the fact that we now have enhanced allocation.

“What we cannot understand is this intro­duction of giving allocation accruing from the federation account through balloting when, in fact, funds allocated to each coun­cil by the Federal Government was enough to pay workers salary.

“We are talking about our December 2014 salary at this time and as we speak, we are not sure it will be paid in April. Our counterparts in other states were paid before Christmas while we celebrated on empty stomachs.”

Another worker said: “We’ve not been paid our December 2014 salary, not to talk of January salary. And from the look of things, we may not be paid the December salary by April because our council picked ‘No’ and our TC chairman is not helping matters by his lackadaisical attitude towards the plight of the workers”.

The workers are also demanding four months of arrears of salary they said they were being owed in 2012. In 2012, council workers embarked on a similar protest and carried a coffin round the streets of Umua­hia, praying that those responsible for non-payment of their salaries should die.

Investigations revealed that the new ‘Abia formula’ also applies to ministries and parastatals in the state. The result is that while some are owed for three months, their counterparts have not received their salaries for six months.

But how did the state get to this ugly pass? It was learnt that the state government is in­debted to a bank, which receives its money at source, immediately the monthly alloca­tions are made. So, according to sources, the state is virtually run with internally gener­ated revenue.

A teacher in the state also alleged that they were being short-changed in terms of promotion and the entitlements that go with it. Hear her: “If you are promoted in September this year for example, they will start paying your entitlement in January next year. By so doing, your entitlements will go into somebody’s pocket for four months. And instead of promotion after three years as it ought to be, you will be promoted after four years. So, one year benefits will be lost. In Abia, head you lose, tail you lose.”[/b]

Investigations revealed that the new ‘Abia formula’ also applies to ministries and parastatals in the state. The result is that while some are owed for three months, their counterparts have not received their salaries for six months.

But how did the state get to this ugly pass? It was learnt that the state government is in­debted to a bank, which receives its money at source, immediately the monthly alloca­tions are made. So, according to sources, the state is virtually run with internally gener­ated revenue.

A teacher in the state also alleged that they were being short-changed in terms of promotion and the entitlements that go with it. Hear her: “If you are promoted in September this year for example, they will start paying your entitlement in January next year. By so doing, your entitlements will go into somebody’s pocket for four months. And instead of promotion after three years as it ought to be, you will be promoted after four years. So, one year benefits will be lost. In Abia, head you lose, tail you lose.”

This was as at last month:

The state is also said to be owing workers of the Hospital Management Board eight months’ salary; Abia State Universal Basic Education Board, six months; Abia State Polytechnic, five months; local government workers, four months; and teachers, three months’ salary arrears.''

Add June to it.

Many issues will not be discussed in this forum. Aregbe and Orji are corrupt bad leaders.
I share your opinion.

We should stop celebrating mediocrity. A bad leader is a bad leader, nothing like first class or second class bad leader. The likes of Orji and Aregbe have nothing to do in governance. I will never support bad leadership. If our country is sane, Orji and Aregbe should be made to account for all their deeds.
i can never celebrate bad leadership.

Sincerely, Orji and Aregbe are not in the same class. One has an idea of what to do to steal money, why the other brazenly steals the money.

You wish.
No person in my family has died below 70 expect for accidents or long sickness never slumping and dying like yhst
The bottomline is they died before 70. Period. May God see you beyond the 70 mark. Amen.

My great granny was above 120 and granny was above 110, before they passed on.

That does not take away the reality of life expectancy in Nigeria.

Orji was not voted for. Abia state indigenes voted massively for APGA. We should forget about sentiments, Orji and Aregbe are of the same class: bad leaders.
The result showed that Orji won, until proven otherwise.

Orji does not have projects that he started. Someone posted a picture of Ochendo International Market that he commissioned on NL, the place was just a thick forest. How more dubious can a leadership be?

Aregbe's problem is stubborness and believing he is wiser than everybody, taht culminaed in bad planning. As well as execution of some stup1d and overblown projects. He has enough projects that he started, but yet to be completed.

Orji and Aregbe are not in the same class. Orji has a First Class in Bad Leadership and Governance, while Aregbe is still a 2nd class lower candidate in ad Leadership and Governance.

l still don't believe it is natural though it happens.As for orji he is simply warming that seat for thr APGA or APC candidate
Maybe you are talking biblically beacuse our ordained number of years as a christian should be a minimum of 70years. Fine.

In reality, in Nigeria and other developing countries, it is by far lesser. We shall fulfill our days.

Orji will be in the Senate for a minimum of 4years.

It's the truth, Abia state government is owing about 10 months salary to staffs of Abia state university teaching hospital. Osun state own is getting more audience and broadcast because all the civil servants have not being paid. Even osun sister state, Oyo is owing civil servants the worst hit being LAUTECH teaching hospital Ogbomoso( the staffs have not being paid for 5 months).
Tribal and ethnic sentients apart, Osun state is the worst hit of all the states owing workers.
You cannot say it is the worst hit. There is no empirical evidence.

Osun State civil servants are the ones making noise most and holding their government accountable and responsible, does not make them the worst hit. It makes other states look like dummies, if they cannot fight for their entitlement.

l don't see a death below 70 as normal.So you accpect that the rascal is a failure
What is even the life expectancy of Nigeria? Less than 55. That is even for less stressful places.

He might be a failure, but not in the class of Orji that you voted to represent you in the senate after 8years of dancing skelewu in your government house Umuahia.
