Has he paid workers?

Titto93:
Has he paid workers?

Is he owing u?

Unfortunately, both the federal and state governments budget for 2016 will mostly be borrowed, hence enslaving the people the more.

Titto93:
Has he paid workers?

yeah he paid health workers today. The man is a bastard. He deducted a wooping sum of 120,000 from my mothers salary. He owes my mother nine months salary arrears but paid them only eight months and he reduced their salary by deducting 16,000 from their original salary.
The man is a certified bastard

Borrowing every where.

With the rate we are borrowing these days, may we not end up borrowing a President

I am beginning to have doubts about Okorocha.

Why a budget tagged consolidation and continuity when we want change?

Why has he not paid his workers, whilst building Almajiri schools in other states?

I will start watching him now.

HEART TOUCHING STORY!!!
This one cuts deep inside,will make you cry..!!

[size=23pt]The Love Story of a Unilag Babe and Bus Conductor[/size]

»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»


Something interesting happened on my way to Oshodi this
morning. At the park this rough mean-looking conductor
also known as “agbero” in Yoruba was screaming for
passengers, his vernacular oscillating between Yoruba and
pidgin English.
“Oshod! Oshod!” He shouted angrily as I along with some
other passengers scuttled for seats. There was this beautiful
young lady who couldn’t throw caution and decorum to the
wind but waited patiently until the bus was almost filled.

Then she pleaded to sit by the agbero until somebody came
down then she would pay for a proper seat.
The agbero didn’t even look at her pretty face, he hissed and
shouted to the driver to move that why didn’t she rush when
others were rushing. The girl started pleading in Yoruba and
clean ‘oyinbo’ english; “please, ejó, help me out sir, I know
you are a good man, never mind all this shout you have
been shouting (people burst into laughter). Let me sit by
your side please”.

Finally with much squeezing of face the agbero relented and
she sat beside him. It was a tight squeeze but she didn’t
complain but rather started praising the agbero.
He in turn started teasing her, speaking (and sometimes spitting by
mistake) into her face but the girl never looked away, she
never let the smile leave her face. He asked her where she
worked and she replied that she was a student in the
University of Lagos (UNILAG) studying accounting.

He teased her in Yoruba about her boyfriend and car (maybe asking
why her boyfriend didn’t drop her at her destination…she
laughed it off and continued to gist with the guy in Yoruba.

When she reached her junction the agbero alighted the bus
for her to come down. She did and paid her transport fare,
then the agbero told her to give him a peck on the cheek for
being so ‘gentlemanly’. At this point some of us became
indignant, haba! He had been teasing her since, he should
let her go. [/b]

Too Bad All Nigerian Politicians are thief Ole Ole.

This borrowing trend calls for serious concern.
These governors need to spend prudently within the limits of available resources/income.
