You dey mind the revisionists? What do you expect from a loser? He will always make up excuses.

Like they say, a drowning man will grasp at a straw to save his life.

It's funny how Yoruba people live in denials. The SS/SE are fast developing with very financially buoyant states. 3 of out SW states are in very serious financial stress, with barely enough funds to pay salaries, talkless of having anything for development. Yet, you are abusing others of not being developed.

Have you even left Yoruba land to visit other regions before you start screaming about development?

Continue waiting for Awo to wake up from the dead to help you.

slow hypocrite!

Umuahia – ABIA State government, yesterday, expressed doubts over its ability to pay the N18,000 minimum wage to its workers.

This came as Governor Thedore Orji was said to be planning to prune the number of his personal aides.

STRIKE: South East Under SIEGE


The governments of the five states in the South East geo-political zone are battling with civil servants over payment of the N18,000 minimum wage.
Imo State, where the governor, Chief RochasOkorocha, showed determination to pay the minimum wage surprisingly joined the fray with an indefinite strike following “the refusal of the state government to sign the N18,000 minimum wage agreement jointly prepared by government and labour.”

Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, gover-nors have resolved to pay the N18,000 minimum wage.

A source at the meeting of the governors, held in Ikeja, Lagos, Wednesday, disclosed that the governors resolved, after long deliberations, that being people-centred and labour-inclined administrations, the governors could not but pay the new minimum wage.

Hosted by Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, other governors at the meeting were Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo; Rauf Aregbesola, Osun; Adams Oshiomhole, Edo; and Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun.

The source said that the decision of the ACN governors to pay the minimum wage was hinged their belief in the National Minimum Wage Act of 2010 which makes the payment mandatory for the states of the federation.

Mr liar, I still need you to attend to your ridiculous assertions here,


When you say fast developing, what exactly are you talking about?

You mean industrial development ( If yes, give us facts and list examples)

You mean Infrastructural development? ( If yes, give us facts and list examples)


Abia state.



Anambra state

ACN govs resolve to pay minimum wage






So, who is poor and who is financially buoyant.?


Yoruba states or ibo states wey still dey struggle and still unable to pay their own people basic minimum wage?


I keep saying, you clowns should start measuring your stones before you throw them? You are refugees in Yoruba land for a reason, assume your poor and refugee status and STFU.

Other states listed to be in critical
positions include Adamawa,
Benue, Edo, Ekiti, Osun and
Plateau.

Hahaha. It's not a surprise. Yaribu people are highly hypocritical in nature.

So it's not rocket science that ACN is filled to the brim with a bunch of hypocrites. They are only trying to look good in the eyes of people. I just pity the gullible Yorubas who are believing them. It's the infrastructures in their states that will suffer their attempt to rob shoulder with the jonses'.

This is the true situation of things,

How many SE states did you see there that is in critical condition?

He wasn't humble enough.

Diligence:

As a min of finance, he stole what wld mk obj/abacha saints; awolowo owns a number of skyscrappers @ marina/broad streets in lagos.

They knew he's educated, but morally bankrupt and he wld steal much more than the military guz; they cldn't trust him wt the State's treasury!  Who cld?

He also exploited his position as min of finance to get certain shareholding agreement, such that for every bottle of coke u drink, he/his family enjoys certain percentage of interest,

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 49, of the powerful Yoruba tribe, dedicated, teetotaling Prime Minister of the Western Region of Nigeria who began as a barrister, has gradually emerged as a statesman of integrity in a land where charges of corruption are the political order of the day. His fellow Prime Minister to the more populous but primitive north, the Sardauna of Sokoto, is a haughty Moslem nobleman out of another century. Nigeria's other regional Prime Minister, the demagogic, U.S.-educated Nnamdi ["Zik"] Azikiwe of the Ibo tribe to the east, lives under a cloud as a result of a financial scandal in his administration. So rent by divisions (250 tribes speaking 400 languages), Nigeria has a compromise federal Prime Minister, Abubakar Balewa, a northerner. "To many of us," says Awolowo, "Britain is our second home. We have thrown no stones, fired no shot, and we have not shed a drop of British blood. We are attaining independence by peaceful, orderly and democratic methods."

lmao. I can't believe this dude pulled some rubbish cooked together by some crooked governors forum,


Look here, this is the reality on the ground where governors in the east are saying out loud and clear that they don't have money and can not afford to pay state workers the minimum wage and ACN states vowing to pay.

Osun state state alone is richer than many state's on your dumb list. Are we not talking about the same Osun state that just saved and stashed away 29 billion for infrastructure development.

That's the reality.

2011 budget

Osun state's budget is 88 billion

Ekiti state budget is 80 billion

Enugu state budget is 60 billion

Anambra state's budget is 66 billion

Eboyin state is 60 billion

Abia state is 80 billion


I think yours is a sad case of delusions and gross dishonesty.

Budget=Expenditure

mbatuku1:

You're just quoting silly budget figures. Do you even know the meaning of a budget?

[size=49pt]Budget=Expenditure[/size]

Now the question is, How much of that expenditure goes into recurrent expenses and what is directed to infrastructural projects?

The governors of Ekiti, Osun and Ondo states have said their states are in critical condition, but you a clueless internet soldier knows more than them.

Anyway, you're just troll. Why am I surprised?

kbdrim:

Awolowo was a visionary leader for the yoruba race but he sure was an ethnic jingoist, Can anyone truelly tell me who awolowo's friends were outside of yoruba people, Im not talking of emergency alliances for election sake like his freindship with joseph tarka, Awo was a divisive leader and he could never had won elections in Nigeria. He was educated but politically he was very naive, he wanted to be seen as an icon and no one else could talk to him. he was an idealist but good politicians are realists. His friction with akintola and later joseph tarka showed that he lacked guile in dealing with conflicts, Its a huge challenge with intellectually minded people, they never recognise that being a student of life makes you a better leader in a multicultural country like Nigeria. Sir Ahmadu Bello knew that he was more of a regional leader and would have been a less successful leader at the national level hence his reason for picking tafawa belewa, Tafawa belewa is one person you might not like but you find it hard to hate him, ahmadu bello and awolowo sure had lots of haters,
