See this one. I'm not ashamed to call myself edo and lagos guy, unlike many of you who came from nowhere to claim our place. Where I can place my feet on in Lagos, I doubt if you can. My dad is edo, oh yes and am not ashamed of that, while my mum is lagosian. I was born here, schooled here even got the lagos state bursary in my undergraduate days. The day your mentor from iragbiji in person of tinubu came to visit pa jakande House a few months ago, I dey there. He walked past me, Bar. Muirs Banire was also there. He accompanied him. Tinubu greeted mum, even called her by her alias...sisi oge

When tinubu was governor. The one day governor boy appointed by him was my brother. Go find out. I can become whatever I want in lagos, including governor. As an Akoko-Edo boy, my surname is yoruba and am from the yoruba side of the state.

All you guys who claim and lie to be from lagos, we will place you where you belong. It won't be long. Watch out .

Simply put it Buhari want to deceive South West.
He is not ready to solve the country's problem.

nisai:
Yeah, you guessed right.

Soyinka caused this. He opened Buhari's eyes to the handwriting on the wall through his recent interview about being in talks with the UN on how to seize a part of Nigeria.

I told the Northerner that you quoted on that particular thread yesterday that the South West has a game plan and it's playing out already.

See let's forget Igboho, like Igbo leaders unanimously agreed on Biafra in 1967, if our leaders want a separate Yoruba Nation from Nigeria today, we will get it. We only need dead end pretext and necessity to swing them into action. Once their hands are tied, no significant dissenting voice anymore.

Immediately I saw Ayo Adebanjo, Pa Fasoranti and Olu Falae's names there, I knew this was a wasted trip.

Them 3 niggaz ain't gonna play ball with Fulani terrorists.

Throwback:
As an oilfield professional, I was involved in a very significant part of the well development for Aje 5 well on the Eni Scarabeo-3 semi-submersible rig. That was in H2 2015.

The Aje offshore oilfield is just off the coast of Badagry, and about 20mins chopper flight from Caverton helipad at the airport in Ikeja.

This looks like the Gbongan interchange.

The Group Managing Director, Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Adewole Raji, disclosed on Tuesday that the company has begun to support the economy of the six shareholder states of the South-West through investment into their areas of comparative advantages.

While property development was projected to be viable in Lagos and Ibadan (Oyo State), the Chief Executive Officer of Odu’a stated that commercial and mechanised agriculture would be the best idea in the other four states of Ogun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti.

Addressing journalists at the media tour and open visit of the Wrestlink Iconic Villa at Alakia area of Ibadan on Monday, Raji said the idea of the luxury estate being constructed in Ibadan in collaborative efforts of Odu’a, Chapter 4 Estate Company and Westlink Iconic Estates Limited, was borne out of the high prospect that Ibadan, headquarters of South-West, offers.

He said, “We have a responsibility to partake in the lifting of the economy of each of the shareholder states. But we should not be taking emotional decisions but business decisions.


Whereas you see Oyo and Lagos looking attractive in terms of investment into property, in other Odua states, we are looking at agriculture and processing because they have arable land and their climate is good.”

He said there was no competition between property development and farmlands in the South-West.

We really need restructuring and power devolution to be able to develop at a much faster speed. The current system is really holding us down. This is why some are agitating for Yoruba nation when they feel leaders from other ethnicities will never support restructuring due to envy or jealousy for the perceived and obvious greatness of the Yoruba people. They will rather have us stuck in stagnancy with them than leave them behind.

Also Federal high court in rivers state has given the VAT tax power to the states which I expects our governors to take advantage and get to work..

The Ogun State government has ordered the contractor handling the Mowe-Ofada road reconstruction in Obafemi-Owode Local Government back to site.

Contract for the reconstruction of the eight kilometers road was awarded by the immediate past administration of Governor Ibikunle Amosun in 2013.

However, the road was abandoned by the contractor, CSCC in 2018, following the failure of the government to defray a sum of N500 million it owed the firm.

The dual carriageway road is now in a dilapidated state with one side impassable.

The state Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr Ade Akinsanya who disclosed this in a chat with newsmen, said Governor Dapo Abiodun has approved that the contractor should return to site to complete the reconstruction of the road.

The project, he said, stretched from Ofada Roundabout to Mowe junction, linking the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Akinsanya, who also spoke on the rehabilitation of internal roads across major cities and towns, said that the Ogun State Public Works Agency (OGPWA), headed by Arc. Gbenga Akintola, has been mandated to fix 15 roads on a monthly basis, across the state.

He said that in the month of August, the agency is poised to rehabilitate 13 roads, with Ogun East taking the lion share of five roads, while Ogun Central and Ogun West have four each.

The Federal Government has commenced the construction of its integrated farm estate in Ogun State with a target of engaging 1500 workers and generate a revenue of N2bn annually after its first year.

It said on Tuesday that the facility would be the biggest farm estate of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority in fish, goat and snail production.

It stated in a statement issued in Abuja by NALDA’s Executive Secretary, Paul Ikonne, that the farm estate was being constructed on 100 hectares of land in the state’s Special Agro Industrial Zone located in Makun-Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.

The statement read in part, “The farm estate will boast of garri processing and packaging plants, snail farming, goat rearing and fish farming.”

Ikonne said land clearing had been done and was being mapped out for crop farming, cassava processing, fish processing, snail processing, warehouses, fish pond, snail farm, poultry, goat and sheep pen, office area and pasture area for grazing.

He said, “The reason why we want to make Ogun farm one of the biggest in production is its proximity to Lagos. We know that there is market in Lagos.

“Our target for the farm in Ogun is to generate about N2bn annually after the first year of the startup. Ogun is one of our key farm estate because of its proximity to the sea ports for export purposes.”


He said the farm estate would expose the host community to development and boost their living standard.

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, yesterday, reiterated his determination to upgrade dilapidated facilities at the Ibadan Airport to assume international standards.


Makinde stated this during the inaugural flight of Air Peace Airline at the Alakia Ibadan Airport, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The governor also commissioned the Airport Protocol Lounge to be rehabilitated by the state government.

Makinde said the facility would enable airline operators to use Ibadan as their operational base and also ensure that the airport serves as an immediate alternative to the Lagos Airport in case of weather or other challenges.


He expressed optimism that the commencement of air flight operations by Air Peace Airline at Ibadan would further boost the economy of the state.

BESIDES, Makinde, yesterday, sought the consideration and approval of the House of Assembly for a supplementary budget of N50 billion.

The request was contained in a letter sent to the House by the governor and read at plenary by the Speaker, Adebo Ogundoyin


The governor said that the N50 billion supplementary budget was to cater to three major projects not captured in the approved 2021 budget.

MEANWHILE, the Assembly has approved additional N6 billion credit facilities for the administration to bridge the infrastructure deficit across the state.

The Speaker said the House would continue to monitor the spending and expenses of the Executive Council, and ensure the loans being approved would be judiciously used in developing and completing ongoing infrastructural projects.
