For a state having the lowest FG monthly allocation, I think Osun state is doing quite well.

Are you a student in Ife? SMH, what manner of undergraduate.

nous: Gosh, many people have comprehension problem (that is what happens when your objectivity is blinded). See the way they are castigating the FG as if it was the FG that sued the Lagos state government.
THE FG IS ALSO A DEFENDANT IN THE CASE.
This is not a FG vs LG case.
People please read with understanding.

I was wondering too...

House Of Reps Take Over Functions Of Rivers House Of Assembly, Calls For Redeployment Of State Police Commissioner

Following the violence that marred Tuesday’s session of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the House of Representatives on Wednesday, at a sitting chaired by Deputy Speaker of the House, Emeka Ihedioha, took over the functions of the Rivers Assembly.

The decision by the federal lawmakers to take over the functions of the Rivers Assembly, followed debates and approval of a motion and based on section 11, sub section 4 of the 1999 Constitution which states:

“At any time when any House of Assembly of a state is unable to perform its functions by reason of the situation prevailing in the state, The National Assembly may make such Laws for the peace, order and good government of that state with respect to matters on which a House of Assembly may make laws as may appear to the National Assembly to be necessary or expedient until such time as the House of Assembly is able to resume its functions; and any such laws enacted by the National Assembly pursuant to this section shall have effect as if they were laws enacted by the House of Assembly of the state.”

The House of Representatives also passed a motion directing the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar to redeploy the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu for ‘dereliction of duties.’

I worked as a teacher during my service year, some students especially girls can sometimes annoy you and push you to the extreme. I'm not justifying the teacher's action though. Teachers too have too exercise caution in dealing with students.

MTHATHA - As Nelson Mandela fights for his life in hospital, his relatives are pitted against each other in a legal battle, reportedly over where members of the family should be buried.
On Friday, sixteen members of the Mandela family brought an urgent application to a regional court, reportedly to force Mandela’s grandson Mandla to return remains of family members to a plot in the ancestral village where Mandela has said he wants to be buried.
Mandla, a local chief in nearby Mvezo, had exhumed the remains of three of Mandela’s children in Qunu in 2011 and brought them to his village, allegedly without the consent of the rest of the family.
“I have been instructed by the 16 family members including (daughters) Makaziwe and Zindzi to take action against Mandla,” the family lawyer Wesley Heyes said.
Heyes refused to comment on the reason for the legal tussle, but local media said it was about a long-running feud over the remains.
“We can’t say anything further due to the sensitivity of the case,” said Heyes.
The court was told that a sheriff delivered the paper to Mandla’s homestead and found the gates locked. The papers were nailed to the gate after several unsuccessful attempts to hand them over.
“The sheriff hooted and called Mandla on his phone, which was not answered,” said one of the Mandela lawyers David Smith.
Mandla’s spokesman Freddy Pilusa said he was not able to comment on the case.
“He hasn’t been served with those papers so he wouldn’t be able to comment.”
The controversial removal of graves has recently came into the spotlight following reported family squabbles over the final resting place of the ailing Mandela.
The hastily removed graves belonged to Mandela’s eldest son Thembekile who died in 1969, his nine-month-old infant Makaziwe who passed away in 1948, and Mandla’s own father Magkatho who died from an AIDS related illness in 2005.
The trio were reburied under the cover of darkness in Mvezo, in a ceremony overseen by Mandla.
The issue of the graves was also at the centre of a family meeting earlier this week.
On Thursday local media reported that Makaziwe, Mandela’s oldest daughter, was granted permission by a chief in Qunu to have the remains repatriated. Mandla had reportedly argued Mandela should be buried in Mvezo.(AFP)

Osama10: I hope this can be extended to the less privileged too.

pDude: Correct!!!

But it is just because he is a celeb o!! If you are not a celeb, OYO!

If you can tell the govt about such people, publicize their cases over all social media, tell us about them, give names...why not, the government and other individual of goodwill will do something.

If you think the govt was partial because its OJB, then you are partial for keeping quite about the conditions of the other less privileged in our society.

Gbawe: COWLSO website below. Interesting. You learn something new in life daily if interested in banishing personal ignorance.

If you dislike Tinubu this much, go and hug a brand new chinco transformer, you can never achieve what he has achieved, if you like go and become your village chief...

simpleseyi: I am a Yoruba boy, flesh and blood. On behalf of all Yorubas, I say that you are mad for spitting this rubbish. Pls my brothers from the SS and SE pls ignore this fool, he is not speaking the mind of we Yorubas, remember that there are bastards here and there, this fool is just one.

My guy this is the new way of bashing on NL, they say something disgraceful and act as if they are representing a particular ethnicity whereas they are not, they just like to generate strife over nothing

SHAME ON YOU ALL
While I will be happy if this happens to be true, its shameful how we think Oil is synonymous with good living and improvement of living standard.
Ask Angola, Sudan, and even most of the South-South states, what have they done with their rich oil deposits?

Gbawe, well done. I agree with you.

[quote author=Bandit C.]Bloody jesters. Create a scene over a common flyover in the name of commissioning. Is it a gift from you to the people or did you bu8ld it with your personal finances?

Thugs with no ethics. How many western politicians commission any irrelevant thing they erect, even though their's are often more relevant than this meager crap built here.

Backwardness should be a crime.[/quote]Okay, Thug with ethics, You call that backwardness, hmmm, you seriously need help. You guys sit behind some screen and condemn a governor for doing something great and celebrating it. You probably don’t know IB or that Mokola junction, no government has been able to give a final solution to the traffic problem there.
Was the PDP led Govt for 8 years, or any government in Oyo state in the last 35 years been able to build any major infrastructure?
Ajimobi did this and its DEBT FREE, lets him celebrate joor, at least anyone coming after him will want to do better.

anonimi: Did you factor in the fact that Ibadan and Oyo state was the centre of political and administrative activities by Awolowo as the capital of the Western region some 60 years ago

You should have also factored the fact that of all the old regional capitals, Oyo remains the only state that is yet to be splitted after Osun was carved out. Enugu, Kano etc all benefited from state creation more than OYO.

Why won't Oyo celebrate...

Oyo doesn't earn as much as some states do, and considering the population, this government must be commended for doing something like this despite the low fund available for capital project.
