Why should masses mourn those leaders that do not represent them?

How did you know he didn't represent them? lets start giving ourselves common sense.

did he loot fund too?

Residents of Ogun State have been assured
that the on-going transformational activities
of the State Government would be replicated
in all the nooks and crannies of the State in
order to give them a new lease of life and
ensure even development.
Commissioner for Special Duties, Chief Olu
Odeyemi made this declaration while
commissioning a water project at Lisa
Community in Ifo Local Government area of
the State. Represented by the Permanent
Secretary in the Ministry Dr. Oluyemisi
Ajibawo, Odeyemi affirmed that the Senator
Amosun-led administration remained
committed to even development of the State,
assuring that with time, communities in
different parts of the State would have a feel
of the efforts to change the look of the State.
Describing water as an essential need of
living, the Commissioner lauded the German
Embassy and Development Support Institute
(DSI) for partnering the State Government
with the donation of the water project, noting
that it would go a long way in enhancing
standard of living in the community. Speaking
earlier, Baale of the Community, Chief Oladele
Odugbemi gave the thumbs up for the donors
and enjoined other public-spirited individuals
and corporate bodies in the country to
emulate them.
He acknowledged efforts of the State
Government to make living more bearable for
his people and appealed that more should be
done in this respect. He also commended his
people for embarking on self-help projects
which he said had equally added value to
their living condition. In their respective
addresses, Mrs. Yemi Odiadi of DSI and Mrs.
Sophia Stevens of the German embassy stated
that the urge to touch the lives of the people
positively informed their decision to
collaborate to provide the borehole project,
adding that it would help keep water borne
diseases at bay in the community.

AtlanticBreeze:
1, Fayose is not owning salaries, he is building an airport which was a major demand from the owner of that private university in Ekiti.. Fayose has not put Ekiti finance in the red like other governors in the SW has done, despite inheriting same from the previous govt. Also, Fayose is carrying ekiti people along.. My opinion

. Thank God, You said your opinion because he's not owing workers salary.

I am sure you are blinded by party affiliation.
For your info, the airport project has been put on hold. its a good thing because Ekiti is suppose to be the last state in SW to own an airport.

So the ONLY reason why fayose is the best is because of salary.

karleone:
You're busy complaining of Owerri when a City like ABA has none. And not that it has none, it has no round-about (Rotary intersection) - A whole CITY. South East is totally underdeveloped.

. But you guys said alaibo is the most developed region in Africa.

Eziachi:
Fly over is not an advancement, it a city concrete jungle. You do not see fly overs in posh areas of any city.

This news isn't about flyover in any posh part of owerri. the news said : First flyover in owerri CITY.
You can manipulate it, but I care less, you don't know more than the Governor! if flyover is a stone age thingy for YOU, go and demolish it.

Ghost01:
Besides cutting ponmo and buying Tomato, I read that the state has also started demanding that the people pay taxes - about the major (if not only) positive development since Fayose got into power for the second time. The tax evaders are now being made to pay tax, and they are grumbling. If all goes well, and I hope it does, the state should be able to generate, at least, N1bn per month henceforth.

Egbon*

That isn't a good news jare. it's a normal thing for people to pay tax.

since he became a governor, I have not read or seen where he commission even a wooden bridge.
But he can criticize another person, like his state is a sort of Tokyo or new york.
misplaced priority.

Mynd44:
I know that road. It is a federal road though.

So any news from Ekiti? Apart from Governor Fayose cutting Ponmo.

Has work started on the Iworoko road yet?
I personally think the Ikere road needs to be visited. That road is something else

*sigh* Egbon*


I don't feel like knowing any news from that state.

Because I haven't seen or heard any good news since the emergence of Mr. Fayose as the Governor


That man isn't suppose to be a Governor in the first place.

Mcheeeew

Tycoflu:
So you want them to be building flyover when there is no need for one?
Ask people way dey asaba the value of the one built by uduagha at interbau.

I thought owerri is supposed to be a 21st century city. fly over is one of the factors to judge the development of any growing city.


Flyover or tunnel is needed anywhere they used to be traffic congestion. ask around.

Mynd44:
Thank you.

Which state are you from and what news do you have for us?

omo ekiti kete ni mi


Well, I am happy with Akure-Ilesha express way, the road is very attractive with road signs and marking. but I am not sure who's responsible for the construction. there's no single pothole on it.

Where are the omo oduas?

Thumbs up -----> Mynd44

I don't believe it.

How can a state of over 30 years just building flyover?


Here in Abuja, (23 yrs), we have up to 30 flyovers


Lagos - 17 flyover
Kaduna - 4 "
Ibadan - 9
Kano - 5
Akure - 2
small osogbo - 1 + (rounding up the other 1)
Jos - 2
PH -5
Uyo - 4


Now we know the most stagnant and underdeveloped region.

menabadoo:
Your placenta is the worst?

Illiterate op, you don't use worst for Comparative statements. Worst is used for superlative, no wonder education is suffering in yorubaland.

idiot*

is that the reason you burnt mosques and trucks?

Yoruba youth are busy making Nigeria proud at home and diaspora. They are taking over ICT world.

Inventing things.

Grooming the youngest set of billionaires in Africa


while



our Igbo and Hausa friends are burning and bombing government and private infrastructures.

I think the government should do more in educating those folks.

ipob will soon overthrown boko haram if nothing is done.

My Igbo friend in Onitsha, just called to inform me about the ipob protest this morning in Onitsha.

He told me that the ipob tout burnt mosques, dangote trucks, aboki's kiosk etc.

The same way boko haram are doing.

Both groups are fighting for an unknown cause.

Both groups are misinformed.

Nigeria doesn't benefit anything from the two groups, unlike Niger Delta youth that's fighting for resource control (oil) or odua groups that's fighting for their right (oil & port).

The FG doesn't benefit anything from the two group.

UN should declare the two group (IPOB & Boko Haram) a terrorist organization.

I see Mr. Seun viewing
oya come and contribute your own quota to this thread. as par what's happening in Ogun state.

Ibebe:
You don't want to do that o.

I go just do my own side business.... Ekiti-Mexico business straightaway

We the good people of "ekiti kete" are solidly behind you.

After all you are taking it international

But .........

Ibebe:
Yes jor..... the money from that alone in a year can feed Ekiti for 2 years.

It indirectly brings development.

My only worry is the illegal consumption and distribution of ganja.

hmmm....

in the fullness of time : we will appoint you as the"Chairlady in Ganja Production"

Are you okay with that?

Ibebe:
lmaooo I trust Ekiti and Ondo on the ganja aspect.

The Africa culture is always looking down on igbo [ganja], however, it does have its health benefits.

If legalized ehnnnn.....[b]owo ti de[/s].

Of course*
But do you think production of ganja is legalized?
I find it (ganja) odd
is that one development too?

Ibebe:
Great news from Ondo!
We can continue to support each state's endeavor to create a unique identity
Ogun - ICT/Agriculture
Ondo - Health/ Ganja/ Agriculture
Ekiti - Education/ Ganja
Osun - Education/Agriculture
Oyo -
Lagos - Megacity/Agriculture

lmfao.
iya agba* you should have allow someone else to do the job na.

[size=24]Mimiko has turned ondo into Nigeria's medical destination[/size]



The National president of the Nigerian Orthopaedic Association (NOA), Prof. Mike Ogirima has predicted that Ondo state would continue to be a medical destination with its qualitative healthcare services. Welcoming participants and guests at the commencement of the 38th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Nigerian Orthopedic Association in Ondo, Ogrima lauded the giant strides of the Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, in the health sector. According to him, the facilities at the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, particularly the trauma centre, was the best in Nigeria as well as in line with global best practices. He then called on governments at all levels to introduce good care system in the health sector as exemplified by the Mimiko- led administration. While declaring the conference open, the State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko reiterated his administration's determination to lift trauma management high in Nigeria and make it globally recognised. According to him, his administration in the last six years has made the right choices for the people and also demonstrated abundant political will in the best interest of the majority of the people. Mimiko explained that there was no functional trauma system in the State before he assumed office, with inadequate basic trauma kits, noting however that the system had now been revamped to reduce the agony of victims of road accidents in all parts of the State, with state of the art facilities, ambulances, information centre and well trained personnel. The Governor expressed optimism that the State would soon become a center for medical tourism, noting that he was poised to benchmark many of his administration's products, including healthcare, education and infrastructure among others and make them unique globally. "This administration established first of its kind trauma and medical centre in the medical village Ondo, the centre is equipped with highly skilled, innovative and committed professionals in all related fields and boast of state of the art equipment, including 64-side CT scan, ultramodern laboratory, effective blood transfusion system, oxygen plant, standard operating theatre, burns unit" the Governor said. Recall that the state government announced penultimate week that the Trauma centre has carried out about 3,000 surgeries with 2,400 dialysis done at the kidney Care Centre between March 2014 when the facility became operational to date. Making the disclosure after a facility tour of the Centre, the State's Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade told newsmen that 1,000 new cases have been received with patients coming from about 30 states in the country as well as Ghana and the United States of America. He mentioned that the centre has so far performed 50 spine surgeries, 350 plastic surgeries, over a thousand Ophthalmology, 800 Ortho, 100 ENT, 100 neuro and over 400 general surgeries among others, adding that it has also screened over 3,000 indigenes of the state through its Community screening programme.

[size=24]South West Region :[/size]





The south west region of Nigeria offers a wide range of sights and experiences; from the beaches in Lagos to the natural springs in Osun state and from the historic city of Ibadan to the mountain caves of Ogun state. South West Nigeria has six states; Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo. It is majorly a Yoruba speaking area, although there are different dialects even within the same state. The weather conditions vary between the two distinct seasons in Nigeria; the rainy season (March - November) and the dry season (November - February). The dry season is also the bringer of the Harmattan dust; cold dry winds from the northern deserts blow into the southern regions around this time. Ekiti - Fountain of Knowledge Ekiti is a state in western Nigeria and it was created out of the Old Ondo in 1996. The state has 16 local government areas, with its capital in Ado-Ekiti, and is divided into four areas; Ekiti Central, Ekiti North, Ekiti South and Ekiti West. Ekiti was one of the many Nigerian states that was independent before the British came and introduced indirect rule. It is known as the 'Fountain of Knowledge', as it is reputed to have produced a good number of professors and several academic pioneers in Nigeria. The people of the state can trace its ancestry to Oduduwa, the father and ancestor of the Yoruba race. Ekiti people are one of the largest ethnic groups among the Yorubas, with an ancestry in the migrated people of Ile Ife. They speak English, Ekiti and other varying dialects. Ekiti is an upland zone rising over 250 meters above sea level and it covers a total of 6,353 square kilometres of land. It is bordered by Ondo in the south and Kwara in the north.

It is also important to note that the state is home to the Ikogosi warm and cold water spring. The major source of occupation and income in the state is agriculture. Agriculture provides income and employment for about 75% of the populace and they produce both food and cash crops. The food crops are: rice, yam, cassava, maiza and cowpea while the cash crops are: cocoa, oil palm, kolanut, plantain, Banana, cashew, citrus and timber.

Victoria Island is the main nightlife district in Lagos. Eko Atlantic City: This is a planned 21st century city, currently being built on reclaimed land along the coastline of Lagos bordering the Atlantic ocean. It is estimated it will attract 400,000 residents and 250,000 daily commuters into the island. Ogun - Gateway State Ogun was created in 1976 with Abeokuta as the capital. Abeokuta means 'under the stone'. Also known as the 'gateway state' because of its strategic position as the link by road, rail, air and sea to the rest of the country, its towns of importance Sagamu, Ijebu Ode and Ilaro served as markets during the mining industry's better times and still do today.

Without any doubt,I believe Ondo state has done the most in the health sector.That's our medical capital.They should do more so our people will stop going abroad to treat themselves when they can easily do that at home

∆ You are right. in fact, there's a newly built tertiary institution in ondo state ; university of medical sciences (unimed).

they just need to do more and they will be free to take the award of SW medical capital home.
