Love your bit about your "gift of consciousness". Must still be packaged in the wrapping paper you received it in for hunger to become "like".

Just don't have sex with all the girls you like. It's not all foods that must be consumed, especially not those that cause you indigestion.

Good move.

INAUGURATION ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE GOVERNOR OF OSUN STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY, SENATOR ADEMOLA JACKSON NURUDEEN ADELEKE ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27TH, 2022.

THE PUBLIC SERVICE

29. My administration will restore the integrity of the civil service which has been bastardised through favouritism and political considerations.

30. We will give the civil service a better orientation with a view to restoring its professionalism. In doing this, we will be fair and firm as we act only in pursuance of public interest.

31. Let me therefore announce an immediate return to status quo of all fresh appointments, placements and other major decisions taken by the immediate past administration with effect from the 17th of July, 2022.

INAUGURATION ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE GOVERNOR OF OSUN STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY, SENATOR ADEMOLA JACKSON NURUDEEN ADELEKE ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27TH, 2022

Protocol,

1. Today, I stand on the podium of history with a sacred pledge to God and the good people of Osun State that my intellect, passion and strength will be devoted to nothing but the welfare, peace and security of our people.

2. As I accept the mantle of leadership entrusted upon me by the people of our dear State, I am conscious of the enormous challenges and responsibilities ahead of me and will beginning from this hour work day and night with deep sense of purpose to be a servant to you all.

3. Our gathering here to witness the materialisation of a new era is not an accident of history. We are all programmed by the Almighty God to be what we have been, what we are and what we will be in future.

4. Let me use this occasion to salute the founding fathers of our dear state, all the past administrators and Governors of Osun state as well as everyone who has contributed one way or the other to the growth, stability and progress of our state in the last 31 years.

5. I equally salute our fallen heroes both at the national and state level for the great sacrifice they have made to have a country and a state to call our own.

6. I am well aware of the fact that my responsibility as the Governor and Chief Security Officer of Osun State entails meeting the legitimate expectations of our people. Therefore, I promise that those expectations of the workers, traders, artisans, farmers, business owners, students, pensioners, traditional and religious leaders and indeed all residents of Osun State will be met by the grace of God and the cooperation of everyone.

7. Under my watch as the Governor of Osun State, I will boldly correct all past injustice, corrupt acts or policies by any previous administration which are against the collective interest of our people.

8. Let me state here that from the education, health, mining Sector, agriculture, road infrastructure and supply of portable water, let it be known to all that it is no longer going to be business as usual. And I repeat, it is no longer business as usual.

9. Our administration will demonstrate a high sense of urgency, transparency, justice and innovation to tackle and solve the problems of poverty, illiteracy, disease, and poor infrastructure.

10. Your Governor will be a people’s Governor. I will be accessible, responsive, consultative and proactive in handling small and big matters of State Governance.

11. I know that as a product of the collective will of you my people, there is a heavy weight of history on my shoulders and I accept the urgency of your expectations, the depth of your aspirations and your conviction in me to build a better State.

DEVELOPMENT AGENDA FOR OSUN STATE

12. Ladies and Gentlemen, you will recall that our party, the Peoples Democratic Party campaigned on a five point agenda namely:
a. Welfare of workers and pensioners;
b. Boosting the state’s economy
c. Home-grown infrastructure policy;
d. People-focused policy on education, affordable Health Care, Security and Social Welfare;
e. Agro-Based Industrialization for Wealth and Job Creation.

13. While a detailed programme of action will soon be unveiled on each of these 5-point agenda, let me quickly give you some insights into our policy direction.

EDUCATION

14. It is disheartening to see our State at the bottom of the national educational ratings especially in public primary and Secondary schools examinations. My administration will launch reform with direct focus on improvement of learning environment and outcome. Our target is to reverse the poor performance of students in public examinations within the next few years.

15. To achieve this target, we will prioritise in-service training and welfare of teachers, enhancement of school environment, entrenchment of discipline in the school system as well as involvement of the Parents-Teachers Association in our school administration system.

16. Our administration will soon convene an emergency Education Conference to articulate our blueprint on the restoration of the state’s education glory.

AGRO-INDUSTRIAL

17. We regard as critical the need to boost wealth creation, job opportunities and food security through innovative agricultural reforms covering all the agricultural value chains.

18. Aside the introduction of modern agricultural practices, we will shift attention to agriculture for export to take advantage of global markets.

19. While we target agriculture export earnings, we will establish modern farmers' markets where producers and off takers can transact businesses.

TOURISM

20. In our desire to diversify Osun economy, my administration will target the tourism sector to boost our GDP and create new jobs.

21. Osun State is the historical capital of the Yoruba people and it is my intention to develop a strong business model to transform this rich historical heritage into huge tourism. We will encourage and partner with the traditional institutions, business organisations and foreign partners to develop the culture and tourism industry which includes our beautiful waterfalls, the Osun Osogbo World Heritage site and many cultural festivals across the state.

WOMEN AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

22. Women and youths are important segments in our development programme. I had earlier set up a youth advisory council which has produced an impressive blueprint for youth development in Osun State. I plan to ensure speedy implementation of their recommendations. More importantly, let me assure our women that our administration will be gender – sensitive in all appointments.

HEALTH

23. The health sector in Osun State is in need of urgent attention. Our government will give premium attention to improvement of the Primary Health care services. We will improve the working conditions of health workers and expand the coverage of our health insurance scheme. We plan to establish a standard diagnostic centre using the Public Private Partnership model and adopt measures that will retain medical practitioners in Osun state.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ICT

24. Our administration will collaborate with Development partners to address problems of environmental pollution and Climate Change. We will equally promote digital literacy, tech innovations and create opportunities for our teeming youths in the ICT sector.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORMS

25. In line with our campaign manifesto, our government will ensure local government autonomy in line with the provisions of the Nigeria constitution.

26. We will restore the lost glory of our local governments in order to make them more responsive to the needs of the people at the grassroots.

27. All policies that are not favourable to the growth of effective local government administration will be reviewed in accordance with the law.

28. No form of illegality will be allowed to stand and all acts of impunity committed by the immediate past administration on local government administration will be reversed following due process.

THE PUBLIC SERVICE

29. My administration will restore the integrity of the civil service which has been bastardised through favouritism and political considerations.

30. We will give the civil service a better orientation with a view to restoring its professionalism. In doing this, we will be fair and firm as we act only in pursuance of public interest.

31. Let me therefore announce an immediate return to status quo of all fresh appointments, placements and other major decisions taken by the immediate past administration with effect from the 17th of July, 2022.

32. I wish to assure all labour unions in the state of our administration’s willingness to protect workers interest and promote their welfare at all times. We will be a labour friendly government.

SECURITY

33. We will embark on a security sector reform that will target crime prevention, detection, neighbourhood policing and better synergy among security agencies. The Amotekun Corps will be strengthened while our administration will ensure operational linkage between local hunters and the Amotekun Corps. A "Know Your Neighbour" security initiative will be implemented. By the grace of God, very soon, Osun will return to its old nature of being a haven of peace.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

34. My Good People of Osun, since you elected me as your Governor on the 16th of July 2022, which the INEC announced on July 17th 2022, the former Governor, Alh Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola maliciously started putting road blocks to make things difficult and almost impossible for the new administration to serve you.

35. Mass employment were carried out without budgetary provisions for salary payments for the new employees; even when the state was struggling to pay salaries and deliver other services. Various hurried and criminally backdated Contracts were awarded and again without budgetary provisions.

36. Appointments of several Obas were hurriedly done without following due process, just to mention a few.

37. All efforts to get the Governor set up a Transition Committee and submit hand-over notes in line with best practices proved abortive.

38. It is therefore my desire to ask for your patience and understanding to give my administration a few weeks to review and sort out all the actions and malicious confusions which the immediate past administration has created since July 17th 2022. Those actions were indeed vindictive measures against the people of Osun State for voting them out of office.

39. Consequently, I hereby issue the following directives which will be backed up with appropriate Executive orders:

a. Immediate freezing of all government accounts in banks and other financial institutions

b. Immediate establishment of a panel to carry out an inventory and recover all government assets

c. An immediate establishment of a panel to review all appointments and major decisions of the immediate past administration taken after the 17th July, 2022

d. An immediate reversal to the constitutionally recognised name of our state, Osun State. All government insignia, correspondences and signages should henceforth reflect Osun state rather than State of Osun which is unknown to the Nigerian constitution.

APRRECIATION

40. As I conclude this address, let me express my appreciation to the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR for allowing a conducive atmosphere for a peaceful, free and fair election in Osun state.

41. I thank the national leadership of our party, the Peoples Democratic Party under the able leadership of our Chairman, His Excellency Sen. Iyorchia Ayu and his National Working Committee for their immeasurable support.

42. I also thank our presidential candidate, His Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON, Vice presidential candidate His Excellency Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, CON, all PDP state Governors, the Minority caucuses of the Senate, House of Representatives and Osun State House of Assembly and other party stakeholders who stood by Osun state to reclaim our mandate which was stolen four years ago.

43. Let me also thank the state chapter of the PDP under the able leadership of Dr. Adekunle Akindele, the immediate past leadership under Hon. Sunday Bisi and all party leaders in the 30 local government areas and Ife East area office. I thank you for your steadfastness, loyalty and commitment to the ideals which the Peoples Democratic Party represents.

44. My deep sense of appreciation goes to my immediate family members beginning with my elder brother Dr, Adedeji Adeleke, my immediate elder sister Yeye Modupe Adeleke-Sanni, my wives Titi and Ngozi, my children, nephews and nieces especially David Adedeji Adeleke A.K.A. Davido for their love, support and sacrifice towards ensuring that we got this far. May your sacrifices never be in vain. I assure you that the selfless services of our late father Sen. Raji Ayoola Adeleke, our mother Prophetess Esther Adeleke and our late scion of the Adeleke family, the first Governor of Osun state, His Excellency Alhaji Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke will always guide my actions as I serve the good people of Osun state.

45. I must not end this address without appreciating the Nigerian judiciary and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for their uprightness, neutrality, professionalism and courage in protecting our democracy without fear or favour.

46. I commend our security agencies for providing a peaceful and conducive atmosphere before, during and after the electoral process.

47. Finally, I extend my thanks to party men and women, friends, associates, supporters across party lines, the Media and the courageous Osun voters who have stood resolutely to give and defend this mandate. I am most sincerely grateful.

CONCLUSION

48. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a grand vision of a new Osun state. But I cannot do it alone. I therefore seek the support and cooperation of everyone to make this happen.

49. I hereby extend a strong hand of fellowship to the other arms of governments, the Legislature and the Judiciary. As a former lawmaker and a graduate of Criminal Justice, I appreciate the importance of collaboration among the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary.

50. I call on all political parties to unite in the best interest of the state. Election is over. Now is the time for governance. We are open to fresh ideas in line with our manifesto.

51. For the purpose of emphasis, I will be a Governor for all Osun people regardless of differences in language, faith, political affiliation or any other considerations.

52. Welcome to a new Osun State, The State of The Living Spring.

53. Thank you and God bless you all

I want to have truly lived.

basilico:
Did they have dinner on the same table? You seem to know a lot .

They spent far too much time together doing whatever it is that they did, bas. That is the problem.

Dump is a public figure, someone chameleons would pray to get photo with not to talk of record the conversation. Some chameleons are toxic enough that they would even accept payment to bring other chameleons close to him, some who might do him damage, and as you've said, this is common enough knowledge for you to know so dump sure must know, no?

Should dump not know he should protect himself from chameleons, bas? And do you think dump protected himself from chameleons or not in this Ye instance?

Jeon:
maybe you ve forget. It was a long time ago.
Anyways Happy birthday in addy [ or sorry for the late wish ] if you have already celebrated.

I think he said he lies, lol.

basilico:
The issue was a business meeting. After Ye was cancelled.
Some people are toxic all the same and are like chameleons who can turn against you any minute.
The whole issue is framed against Trump meeting Ye who came accompanied by an unsavoury character.
Cut some slack. Media will always use anything Trump does to attack him , I dont let their opinions (formely news) shape my thinking .
I do my own independent thinking Of course sometimes I am wrong I do not hold the monopoly of knowledge.
All I know is that the whole establishment is against Trump running and will lie and do anything to prevent that.
Maybe you can tell me why... His mean tweets?

If it is true that "Some people are toxic all the same and are like chameleons who can turn against you any minute", don't you think dump should have thought so too, and as soon as Ye broke what was agreed by bringing company to a private meeting, which could be Ye being chameleonic, shouldn't dump have cancelled or at least cut to 'hello, how are you, let's reschedule'?

I don't need media to tell me to independently think that America can not possibly be well ruled by someone who independently sees much less than basilico, because you've been here long enough to have seen that we have a lot more against dump than "mean tweets".

And I am impressed at your superability to cover your eyes and make out that if you don't look it never happened or its media lying to you when it's you lying to yourself bas.

Jackanda1:
Atleast they have reasons for lying. Most times i tell stupid lies that are so dump and shocking

And they probably cost you quite a lot.

I've found that lying is stupid. You lie, then you spend immense resource remembering the lie and whom you lied it to. And once you make an error in appropriating the wrong lie to the wrong person, you lose people's regard and respect, which to some is more than wura and fadaka.

Keep lying op. See it as an investment and record your gains and losses. Annual consolidation of your accounts would inform you if your lying is profitable or not and empower you to determine if you should value truth telling.

basilico:
Kanye West is well known to Trump There is no way Trump would turn down dinner with him. Oval Office photo

Bet dump knows Ye a lot better now and would turn down dinner with him now.

Then again, perhaps he mightn't. Dump's not exactly known to reflect.

ono:
Not clear though, I am reading that the Lynette lady is a Republican.

The "unconventional election" sort?

I think we are about to find out how population is controlled because Chinese are antiopium.

Op na Muslim feminist which is even a contradiction lol.

I wonder. And irrelevant. The rest though, you smart.

You go market your money no reach so you downgrade to "white babes and jamo wey no dey tax" thereby cutting your coat according to the quality you can afford. Very very smart.

How dare he raised his hands on his dad

Drug addict of a son

How dare his father raise his hands so high to his son?

Gaye explained his father's abuse to author David Ritz years later, stating "It wasn't simply that my father beat me, though that was bad enough. By the time I was twelve, there wasn't an inch on my body that hadn't been bruised and beaten by him." He stated what made the beatings worse was his father prolonging the time before punishing Marvin, making him remove his clothes, and having him hear his father's belt buckle loud enough before he received the punishment.[7] Gaye felt a part of his father was "enjoying the whole thing"

thebosstrevor1:
I will tell you that money is still being made in a down turn market

As i wrote earlier, money is unlimited and abundant

The ability to make that money is what is not abundant, the. Just look at the examples we are giving to see how our perspectives differ. For you, business man loan, while for me, the sweat of my brow.

So, Gods, make money unlimited and abundant for me like you've made it for thebosstrevor1 please, and double thebosstrevor1's own too. But make my own non-refundable and non-repayable because you all know I don't like debt. Amen.

I called Gods because I'd need all the whatever it is they do.

ono:
That's the plan all along. Get Republicans to "dislike" Trump by not "selecting" his endorsed candidates.

So, for ono, the reason Republicans dislike dump is because dump's endorsed candidates were not selected?

I can live with that olie, though dump's "plan all along" is enough to get himself disliked imo, but otime oyou osee.

It is rather annoying when one's expressions are treated with such disdain.

thebosstrevor1:
You still dont grasp simple concept of money

The majority of money is digital, physical cash is just 3%, digital money are created when banks give loans and money are destroyed when you pay back loans.

You included gifts earlier I think, but you left out a fundamental factor in the creation of money which is the sweat of one's brow.

Money, as far as many individuals might be concerned, is not a loan or a gift, but includes their earnings from investments or their labour.

One works, and a wage (in money) is paid to one, is how most create their money, be it physical hold in one's hands money or in bank money.

In fact one might want to consider if the bank loan is not charging a profit on labour since paying interest decreases earned unit of money per labour time.

thebosstrevor1:
Seun is wrong

Printing money isn't an issue.

The way you guys think about printing money is strange.

Printing money does not cause inflation. Money is unlimited also Money is digital not physical.

Every crypto trader too thought money was unlimited because it was not physical it was digital.

Now? They bellying up in droves.

Not, would be deevolving, the opposite of growing and evolving.

*GENERAL NOTICE FOR ALL OBI/DATTI SUPPORT GROUPS*

THE PETER OBI CAN'T WIN AND PETER OBI WILL STEP DOWN SYNDROME SPONSORED BY PDP &APC.

Dear OBIdients kindly take time to read this. It's highly important.

The "CAN'T WIN TECHNIQUE" is a campaign strategy which means telling voters that your rival can't possibly win (so why waste your vote?). The idea is to present one candidate as more electable while diminishing the other more exciting candidate. So any time you see them telling you Peter Obi cannot win, speaking all the grammar and making all the analysis to justify it just know that it's a campaign strategy.

......

Please share everywhere.

It is like you don't know that a homosexual addresses, introduces and shows off another man, his partner, as his husband, while a lesbian addresses, introduces and shows off another woman, her partner, as her wife.

This is sophisticated advancement of logic and there is nothing out of place having two of one, instead of one of each, two husbands or two wives, in this particular and peculiar kind of setting.

One needs to understand why they are jealous. Not many men can pull the hottie Nicola Adams calls honey.

tensazangetsu20:
I guess you are one of those who believe you can innovate and entrepreneur yourself out of bad government. Goodluck and bookmark this post that's if you havent japaed out of naija by then.

And I am not old. I am actually very young but I know that the country is hopeless. Crude oil prices were low under Obasanjo and the economy was still growing very fast.

While crude oil was price was low, I hope you know that Nigeria was given debt forgiveness during Obasanjo's tenure which left us with immense revenue that his regime then squandered and stole.

But yes, I am one of those who believe that I the people are the government of my nation and our leaders are not elected from Mars by Martians . It's called being responsible for the state my nation is in.

I just need to learn to govern well and Nigeria will have good government, but I am aware of the immense task ahead of me. I mean, just note the number of you who insist I will fail. Guess I must work harder to overcome you all

Majorly21:
For your mind, you de talk sense?? I nor know why people make nor know anything de run their mouths pass.

I guess you know a lot about the glorious Nigeria the British whom we all know were in it for their own selfish gain left you. That's why you talk about things working fine then though I can bet my last Naira you were not alive when Britain ruled Nigeria and never learnt the history of the germination of seeds of chaos that erupted immediately after they left.

I know it's hard for you to understand how I can have faith in hopeless you, but believe me when I say I do have immense faith in your ability to make our country the great nation it will one day be because if I don't have faith in you I will need to conclude that you are useless and will fail and I am not willing to give up and think of you like that despite you insisting that I should.

tensazangetsu20:
The youths are industrious but the government won't allow the youths to do anything. They might soon ban electricity or internet to further discourage innovation.

You underestimate us. You think we will not overtake the government someday. Perhaps you do not see us growing or think we will be complacent like you who are satisfied to keep recycling the old politicians who have ruled since 1960?

Ban electricity and internet and discourage innovation as much as you want and you will find out how industrious we are at finding our way around you. Its our future you are talking about, like 60, 70 years of our life unlike that of you oldies who have at best 20, 30 years ahead of you. You have nothing to gain by making Nigeria great, but we have our whole future to gain so can not be complacent like you.

As for Nigeria getting worse, that's not true. We swing in roundabouts according to the price of crude oil which is low at the moment, but we 0-14s will be our biggest commodity soon. And unless you do not intend to educate us your children, our future is exceedingly glowing bright. You just do your bit please and thank you very much.

tensazangetsu20:
That's if the government allows you. The stock market is an indication of how healthy a country's economy is.

Don't make me laugh please. The stock market is about what people think about the health of a country and not a country's actual health. People thought GameStop was healthy and invested in what you yourself called a pump and dump. The stock market is an aggregate of many pump and dumps. Read Greenspan's Irrational Exuberance and you might have a clue.

You seem to like Tesla that keeps going up and up. Are you aware what Tesla's revenue is and how many cars they sell? Below is a comparison chart with Ford and GM. Study it then tell me if Elon Musk is not walking on water, or sand.

tensazangetsu20:
There's really nothing to be done in Nigeria. The country is doomed to get worst. It's what it is. Bookmark this comment and come back in ten years and let's see if Nigeria is better in anyway.

As for this bit, I am of the opinion that Nigeria is we the people. If we are so useless and unable to do great things in our nation, it is we who will be doomed. Thankfully, with 42.54% of our population being between the ages of 0–14, old thinkers like you who have lost hope in our illustrious nation will soon be a minority and will not be determining Nigeria's future for much longer. And unless you intend to not empower your own children, I have faith in them and my country Nigeria because I have faith in myself and in you too.

And yes, I have made a note.

tensazangetsu20:
The guys suing got into the game late. Wise ones have moved on. I made this thread because contrary to the lies a lot of abroad Nigerians heap here the west is still the easiest place in the world to make money. Take Tesla just look at how much the stock has grown. Look at the growth last year. No comoany on the Nigerian stock exchange can bring in such earnings. The same thing in America is the same thing in LSE the same thing in the Tokyo stock exchange the same thing at the Hong Kong stock exchange. Most of this countries have a lot of ways for their citizens to make a lot of money and the good thing is the jobs are even there. So someone who Is working and prudent enough to take advantage of this market movements can become a millionaire and retire early.

Such opportunities aren't in Africa. Poverty is synonymous to the African continent.

People who rode the NSE up to 60k in 2000 before the 2010 crash would not agree with you, neither would anyone who's reaped the almost 100% rise in the last 12 months.

Besides, the stock market is no indication of how easy it is to become wealthy in a country as many have pointed out on here. You got to work at it, and not just hope you'd be lucky stock picking wherever you are. And as someone already said, Nigeria has opportunity for job creation because a lot of work is yet to be done.

tensazangetsu20:
Pump and dump for that stock is over. The retail traders have all made their points.

You don't say, lol. Some apparently lost their shirts and are suing.
