"My people,My people" borrowing from the word of my comrade governor. I think I need to address the people of ogun state in dis way. As political events is unfolding in the states, gladiators, political mathematician has begin to put ink on paper towards permutation and combination on who occupy that seat in okoemosan. In either transnational or random motion we approach it, which drop a question of, if SIA should remain or leave depending on the microscopic viewing. I am not a prophet but an environmentalist that can easily draw conclusion from court of public opinion without interference or adulteration.
The question is, are SIA allies, cohort, friends and associate informing SIA, that history is about to repeat itself in ogun state. I am not to sure of this because I see a epileptic information supply which is putting it very clear on the white building at oke mosan another vacancy. Many allegations have been thrown at his government , and after a good comparative analysis of the achievements of your predecessors, there is a clear difference that the government of SIA is not close to the average.
Basic ill infrastructure in ogun state have been putting pains in the spines of the gateway people and the little we have is politicized and shared base on the party identification. Some houses has been demolished before now all in the name of four lane expansion while gateway indigens that has been made homeless for this purpose have begin to wonder the sudden stop of work on these major roads.
Without mimicking word, I see SIA as a devil in disguise, where he will give little to steal what we have. if this is made known through his acclaimed major job within the state,then what is the hope? It is now important to seek alternatives in the next general elections.
The way forward is not party but an individual that understand the simple law of business- generating revenue for sustain ace and survival.
My people, my people(to conclude with the former) it is high time we say NO to deceits in our states.

We have not been formerly informed about this and the anabra chapter of NAUG have not been inagurated. National PRO, 08063141854

For about four months,our students have been forced to be at home as a result of the ASUU strike.
With due respects to professors, and other ASUU members,the truth is that, your fight has no fact. I am not saying u're telling lies but you are not saying the truth.
Why do u always hide under the umbrella of students, why don't u make the fight your own if you have a good fight.
Your claims is that,university should be well funded viz - viz, laboratory, hostel, lecture theatre e.t.c.
Why the insincerity, government is always accused of corruptions, unfortunately, this act is also domicile in nigeria universities.
The below is the demand of ASUU. The question, one will ask after reading is that,what has there demand have to do with school hostel, laboratory they claimed they are fighting for?

REASONS WHY WE MUST AGITATE.
Many time we have continue to wonder what really went wrong in nigeria governance viz a viz, the economy, employment, power sector, exchange rate and others.
If the truth must be revealed, then we must as a matter of fact X-ray nigeria history.
Let me quickly give brief x-ray. In the 70's, the output of Agric, oil and mining, manufacturing,services was 50%, 10.22,7.15,34% respectively.
While EMPLOYEMENT, Export rate were 80 and 70% respectively, import rate was less than 30%.
I am not an economist but from my simple elementary study of economics,you will agree with me that your output will determine your income(revenue), in other word,the nigeria economy depended on agriculture for her revenue, which visionary leaders like (late obafemi awolowo, late ojukwu,late Zik) utilised to secure 80% employment rate, building of major refineries,national stadium, national television, and premier university.
It is now unfortunate that infrastructures built with cocoa(an agricultural produce) money is begging for attention, import rate is on high level, UNEMPLOYEMENT has gone (80%)skyrockets, corruption is order of the day.
The truth is, I may not be employed by this selfish and corrupt government but I swear my children will not be an errand boy to there children, if this is your goal, it is better to join the fight. The future is now!

It is rather unfortunate that nigeria political leaders fail to understand the solution to the nation problems. While they are busy establishing agency with huge national resources with no result.
The truth is that 90% national problems: corruption, epileptic power supply, bad roads, kidnapping e.t.c are caused by leaders(past and present) which has resulted to UNEMPLOYEMENT, INSECURITY have youth at the receiving end.
It is very sad that among 13 members c'tee on national dialogue inagurated by GEJ, the youth wing is not adequately represented."He that wear the shoe know where it pinches".why are we not carried along, is this not another means to protect some group, party interest? These are unanswered questions.

There are many nigerians who are victim of this misfortune. Well one may not want to blame them because much of the blame is on our leders that is moving in wrong direction through bad policy. This unfortunate event is not just in the banking sector, we have it also in communication industry and other industry. God will help us.

53 anniversary: shame to Nigeria leaders.
Today 53rd celebration is "relative". To our corrupts leaders,it is a day to further glue there strength of embezzlement to enhance corrupt practices as money will change hand all in the name of "independence"while the masses,oppressed, unemployed, students will see it as a day of mourning.
Any well meaning leader would ask the purpose of the celebration,if it's well justified, in a system where all the institution are in moribund state collapse- students are at home, above 40million graduates are unemployed, economic is frustrating, security challenges, epileptic power supply, poor government policy and many more. The answer to the simple question is, there should be no reason to celebrate because a "fool at 50 is a fool forever" the truth is that both the three arm and tiers of government in nigeria has failed us and we are ready for change and the change is now.
It is true that no one ever think beyond his sense reasoning, this I concur with from the reasoning display by our representatives (president, governor and chairman of LG, which collaborated the fact the "the size of the head can not determine the reasoning ability". we hereby wants to redirect them towards the way forward:
1. They should implement policy of comparative advantage and stop creating and implementing policy to suit there taste.
2. They should balance the export and import rate, this will create room for goods needed and more money will be in the reserve.
3. They should provide stable power supply.
4. Create enabling environment for investors
All this will create jobs, stop contract staffing, bring food the table of an average nigerian.
In conclusion,we unemployed graduates are determined to intellectually revolutionize the country. God bless the federal republic of nigeria.

Gbadebo should be ashamed of himself, if among serious issue affecting the students(ASUU,increment in school fees) it is amechi political and federal goverment saga that interested him, then someone should tell that he is progressing in error.

This is a plus and another laudable achievement to ondo state governor, Dr Olusegun mimko. We appreciate him for identifying the problem and giving appropriate solution to it. We members of NAUG request him to do more and advise other state government to emulate this as this will minimize unemployment to bearable condition.

We are working seriously(with criteria) on the trustees. I know with God on our side nigeria shall be great again.-- where our children shall have food on there tables at cafeteria and job waiting for them before there convocation.
