tate in 2015]

I've watched keenly the state of things and governance in the State of Osun and have taken to silence not because I have nothing to say but because I have realized how irrational Osun people are, how sentiments of nettled standards have overtaken the path of wisdom, how a one party legislature can sit comfortably with complete lawlessness.

It was recently that I felt the sharp pain of the economic situation of the state when I received a distress call from my mother, a primary school teacher in Osun State. My mother will never call me to ask for money, that I know, but I was shocked when I picked up the call and she didn't respond to my jokes and jibes. I was forced to ask my mum what exactly the matter was. She responded in an uncomfortable manner, saying there was urgent need to buy drugs and Ogbeni has refused to pay for months. That was how a single distress call further expressed the dilapidated situation of State of Osun.

When Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola launched the project called Opon Imo, I criticised it heavily and asked quite critically how sustainable the project was and is. I was however, heavily criticised but the question remains, where are the Opon Imo? When last did they give them out and where are students that collected them? I beseech everyone to check the performance index of students of Osun public schools in the last four WAEC & NECO to see the appalling situation. 

One can only weep for the future of Osun state. Before, the story was that Jonathan deliberately refused to release funds, thereafter it was said that Buhari said the Federal Government under Jonathan was not owing any state or withholding allocation. Later the story changed to how Jonathan mismanaged the economy. 

The question now is: did Jonathan come into Osun state to govern or award contracts within the state? Or does the general economic situation of the country have its headquarters in Osun state? 

 

One can only weep

for the future of Osun state

 

Well, haven said it before, I wish to restate that Aregbesola is a noise maker, an indecent one at that, who is meant to be a character in George Orwell's apologue of fable titled Animal Farm. 

To the non-literates in Osun state who got swayed by the noises on radio, television and social media, I wish them best of luck as they experience clearly the anger of God on the state. If you don't know, cash flow in Osun is basically from the state purse without which no company or big agencies can help the economy. What that denotes is that it is when the state government pays the civil servants that artisans and other non-state workers will make money. 

Also, because those civil servants will pay bricklayers to build for them, bricklayers will employ labourers with them and after some hours, they will get to petty traders to get water or bread to eat, persons producing pure water will benefit so also the bakers. I can guess you understand how it goes on like a chain? What I'm driving at is simple; Under Ogbeni, Osun state has broken in tatters. The debt profile of the state establishes a fact; it is either an end time sign or a redefined struggle.

For the sake of history, Aregbesola borrowed from First Bank the sum of 124.5 million naira on the 11th of July 2012 for the O'meal project. Now that the money has been exhausted, the state has decided to stop the O'meal project. Why embark on a project not sustainable? Why borrow money for a project that won't bring in a dime. Is it the duty of the government to feed pupils? What are you feeding them for? What's the rationale behind the feeding? Are pupils in Osun state now in schools to eat or learn? How on earth can't Ogbeni differentiate between a restaurant and a school? 

In the last few years, pupils in Osun only have one reason to go to school and that is because of the daily egg they take, little wonder many of this children think less. 

Well, for those who are not aware, the O'yes tech project was carried out on a 250 million naira loan taken from Wema Bank. If I may ask, what are the reasons for these debts and projects? Will the state continue to borrow till a creditor sells the Government house on OLX or KONGA? The same First Bank also granted over 500 million naira loan to fund the O'uniform fiasco. Mind you, all these loans are with ever growing interests. Most of these debts are unnecessary and 60% of Aregbe's policies and projects are cosmetic and simply to cajole gullible people of Osun.

Kudos to many, like this writer, who have refused to fold its hands and watch a government send its people on exile with its unacceptable 10th century government policies.

In his efforts to make peace with the Presidency over its distaste on the composition of the senate leadership, Senate President Bukola Saraki, has resorted to seeking the assistance of emirs and traditional rulers, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

If Hazard played in La Liga he would bag at least 20+ goals in one season. I think he's too young to be compared with Messi and CR. Compare him with Neymar & Bale, then we're talking.

DelGardo:
And the answer is a big yes!
There were a number of suicide bombings just after the inauguration but the rate and magnitude of impact is reducing gradually.

Under Jonathan there was a steady increase in the various terror methods used by Boko Haram up until March when he took notice and huffed and puffed a bit, as defeat loomed.

- No new villages have been sacked or burnt down by BH and no new territories have been taken by the group
- we have not heard about army and police formations being chased away by BH
- we have not heard of soldiers running to Cameroon with BH in hot pursuit
- no new cases of kidnap of school children nor the murder of young boys in their sleep recorded
- no new videos of the terror organisation promising more carnage
- no claims and counter claims between Nigerian and Chadian army on victories, challenges and prospects
- we have seen greater regional participation that will most likely translate to a 'pincer' strategy in the campaign
- no political buck passing nor finger pointing - most of what we witnessed back then was PDP blaming opposition and northern elders for the scourge.
- we have now a president with balls, dude!

Snails in your dream depicts slow movement, stagnancy, crawling......
Not a good thing at all.
Try to meet a good man of God and explain for a prayer/deliverance sessions.
Please do that

Trying hard to be smart by half, with the spate of BH bombings now daily, 3ice a week and suicide bombings now daring Cameroon and you want me to answer that question for you Tolu........haba!! do the needful to the question.

tomakint:
Now good question, so what's your answer?

tomakint:
How so? Did you know the level of expectations of Nigerians hanging on the shoulders of Buhari? Besides, if Jonathan did worse is that a guarantee for Buhari to do worst?

tomakint:
Another bogus promise gone wrong, no more 'We shall stop Boko Haram within 2 Months of our administration if voted into power' but it is now ending of December, 2015. BabaoneChance at work.

kokoA:
No make me vex abeg. How can you compare GEJ's approach to PMB's? See how the old man has taken his time to plan, visiting all the the bordering countries and convincing them to join the fight. With the number of troops coming from Nigeria, Chad, Benin and Cameroun I believe this is achievable. This is a man who knows what he is saying not somebody who just wakes up and run his mouth anyhow.

ApcSucks:

Ha!!! Bros no oooo! People like Machine Gun Oritsejafor go run for cover oh!. LOL.

mijestic:
I suppose he is good enough for the first team. Two goals and two assists in pre-season is no fluke. Coach has final say though. Wish the young lad all the best in his career.

okeke00:
