Guys well done, I See ya, thank you all....

Never knew i'm a nightmare to some ooo, seems they are tired of creating threads about Barcanista & the all day cardio ain't working out (pun intended) ...

Lol,we all know what they did to TonyeBarcanista just because he didnt support them.

Aregbesola stops the payment of waec fees but resumes the distribtion of òpòn imò.....

Aareonakakanfo:


Oh yeah speaking of that, that !dd!ot boy twisted our words ni sa

I didn't want to start roaming around threads rebuking him for that because I had soo many mentions on those biafran threads

Good to be back home.

The dude was trolling, hoping to get some sort of response from us and I'm glad you didn't give him that honour.

Aregbesola stops the payment of waec fees but resumes the distribtion of òpòn imò.....Anywhere the bastard is,it shall not be well with him,He and his duputy would not prosper.The spirit of the people of Osun state would fight Aregbe,he might get away with it today,but he would not xpect what would hit him soon.AMEN.

That Opon-Nonsense should be scrapped.

Imagine, no money to pay for WAEC yet there's money to fund Opon-Nonsense. I heard the news on fm 4days ago, the deputy said the state will be paying half and the parents will be paying half. Oro AregbeUseless ti sun mi. It's painful.

It's embarrassing.

By investing in regional groups like DAWN + SWIT that are currently encouraging agriculture in the SW.


As per mining, may Obatala give Fayemi the wisdom to make mining state regulated. After that, we can begin to talk about the specifics.
Do we even have quarries in Nigeria?

As per freeglobe, it's a he. I've already reported the thread. Let them talk nna nna for 1 hr, e go tire them.

Lol hw will Fayemi mke solid minerals state regulated.Dat will only cme wit fiscal federalism.

I came across this online last year.

Also gold can be found in Efe central, Ife East, Obokun. There exist different mining centers in the locations mentioned above and exploration is in progress because there exist economic alluvial deposit in all these areas.

In the case of other minerals, only alluvial deposits are indicated. Also primary deposits are indicated in the caseof gold.

Tourmaline can be found in Irewole local government. Acquamarine can be found in Boripe, Ayedaade.

Precious stones / semi-precious stones can be used as ornamental (Jwellery)
Gold can be used for stability of paper currencies, in alloys with Platinum, gold is used in dentistry, gold is used as a coating on over craft engine. No exact figures for the deposits.

There exist different mining centers in all these locations above, in the case of Tantalite mining center is in Ifewara, columbite is been mined in Iperindo. No exact figures of deposits available but alluvial deposit are indicated concerning these minerals.

Cassiterite can be used as protective coating for copper and steel. Also in soldering brass and galvanised metal sheet. Columbite is used in special alloys required in aircraft engines; heavy construction equipment. Tantalum is used as electronic emitter in electronic tubes; jet engine turbine bladder rocket nozzle coating. Iron ore is used in steel rolling, deposit discovered in a village called Isundurin in Ejigbo Local Government.

Non-Metallic Minerals or Industrial Minerals

Mineral classified under non-metallic minerals are Talc, Kaolin, and Granite also known as Dimension stones, Feldspar, Mica, Clay (Laterite), Silica Sand (Gravel). Different location have been discovered where these minerals exist.

Talc is found in Ifelodun Local Govt, Atakunmosa East, Irewole, mining is done in Iperindo. Also Talc is found in Osogbo in a village called Ota Efun. There are indications of alluvial deposit which are of economic deposit. Resources of about 20 million metric tons are available in two locations. Processed talc is used as extender in paints, as lubricant in paper manufacture, as insecticides carrier, as rice polishing powder, in wall tile and other ceramic products.

Kaolin is found in lfedayo, Ife central, Ilesha with mining center at Iperinde at Atakunmosa Local Government also mining center is at Iwaraja in the same local government. There are indications of alluvial deposit, which are of economic deposit. Resources of over 2 million tones are available

Kaolin is used as Filters in paper paint, adhesive, plastic, rubber, drug preparation ceramics.
Granite is a solid mineral found to be available all over the state. Mining center is at Ikire, Olokusa in Egbedore Local Government. There are indications of Economic deposit of over 10 million tones. Granite is used as aggregates in construction industry, polished stones as floor tiles.
Feldspar is found to be available in Atakunmosa East, Ede with mining center in Irokun. There are indications of economic deposit of metric tons in the two locations above. It is used in paints; tiles; glass and as scouring powders.
Mica is found in lfedayo, Irewole, Ayedaade local government. There is a mining center in Ilesha for mica because of recent discovery. There are indications of alluvial deposit and it can be used as insulator.

Clay is found in Atakunmosa East, Atakunmosa West Ede, Ifelodun, Ife North. There are indications and clay is used in paint, rubber and plastic, ceramics and refractory bricks industry and in construction works.

The supply of Gold at an economic rate of 850 ounces per day is the only rate that can last Osun State for the period of 50 years and more without diminishing in quantity. With more discovery of Gold in the state, it can only increase 850 ounces supply per day but it never reduces it.

For this research work, a minimum of 50 years is considered to test a mineral to be of economic quantity and Gold in Osun State has been proved as a mineral that can last 50 years and more without wearing away. In the course of this study work, it was discovered that over 20 million ounces of Gold occur in these local government in Osun State, Atakunmosa East; Atakunmosa West, Ife East. The quantity available was
discovered to be exploitable over a period of 50 years at an economic rate of about 850 ounces supply per day.

Minimum availability in Osun State
850 x 30x 12x50
30 — No of days in a month
12 — No of months in a year
50 — No of years considered for the mineral to last i.e. years of reserves availability.
850 — Quantity of ounces supplied per day.
15, 300,000 ounces is the minimum available of Gold in Osun State. An ounce of gold now costs $1,804.45


In the course of this study work, it was discovered that over 30 million metric tonnes of Talc occur in
Osun State. The quantity available was discovered to be exploitable over a period of 50 years at an economic
rate of about 1,200 metric tonnes supply per day.

Minimum availability in Osun State
1200 x 30 x 12 x 50
30 — No of days in a month
12 — No of months in a year
50 — Years of reserves availability.
1200 — Quantity of metric tonnes supplied per day.
Therefore 21,600,000 metric tonnes is the minimum available of Talc in Osun Slate.


In the course of this study, it was discovered that there are economic deposit of about two million,
metric tonnes of feldspar in Osun State. The quantity available was discovered to be exploitable over a period of
50 years at an economic rate of about 50 tonnes per day.

Minimum availability in Osun State.
50 x 30x 12x50
50 — quantity of metric tonnes supplied per day
30 — No of days in a months
12 — No of months in ayear
50 — Years of reserves availability.
900,000 metric tonnes is the minimum available of Feldspar in Osun State.


Illegal miners are smiling to the bank while people are wallowing in poverty. Now, we are expecting Mr Fayemi to do the needful.

If we don't remove the speck from our eyes, what moral rights have we to point out another person's log ?

We must critique what is ours but it is better done in a way to identify with the struggle ......

Until we remove patronage & money from our politics, we will continue to go about like headless chicken...

I have one aunt in the Home town, to hear her talk you'd think her party's political appointees are there solely to solve her immediate & remote problems...

Talking about how Hon Lagbaja won't smell that seat again cos he didn't come for one ward chairman's birthday or how Governor Tamedun is not a "spender"..

We too are problems on our own side.....

Indeed, we are our problems as you've said aunty mi.

At the emboldened, I would like to think this is why we have this thread.

Where every political jobbers on both sides of the divide and the neutrals can drop their political leanings, put Yoruba first and come together to critique every public official's work - good or bad and proffer possible solutions.

We will be our own problem on this thread especially, if people begin to come here to sell their party or cover up the mess of their party member rather than dig into it.

Either we all take it or not, if this thread continues on the altruistic pattern it began with, 2019 elections will be very different considering the light this thread, based on the intellect of folks like you beams on issues is really enlightening.

Anyways, awon oni jegudu jera will always be in the scheme of things. O ku si awa to ku l'owo ki a mo bi ase ma keep up with our goal.

Beeni oooooooo. You should have noticed the way I posted it "Beeni Boda Mii". Lord, I love Ile-Ife.

I just got back home. I went to office, from there we went to the stadium in one of our estates. Today is the final of the tournament(MD's Cup). They beat our team(NA-PHD FC) 3-1.

I decided not to come online since then because I was angry and almost insulted someone. He knows himself. So, I apologized and let it go instead of trading words.

The Useless politicians have been borrowing and are still borrowing yet some people believe we should not bash them. Just imagine that?

It's quite pathetic. Too bad some people are still telling us to chill, that the situation is not that bad. Seriously?

The debt of Osun State as at 2014 was 52bn yet the projects executed do not commiserate with the debt. What worries me is how do we pay the debt? We can't afford to mortgage the future of our unborn children. And, we shouldn't be bothered about what some Romanis say. Let them taunt us, we don't care. That shouldn't stop us from being factual.

E kale jarey. Some people can piss you off. I just logged out before I lost my cool.

The King Is Back. Oba Osomaloo of Osomalooland

The same reason I decided to get off the thread and focus on my outing.

A chart based on facts showing mad debt was put up - any honest person should be riled up but I was surprised when some people came here to use the word 'chill' and still spin Aregbe's fuNK up to be as a result of financial crises and not necessarily his foolishness.

At the end of the day, that was what Aareonakakanfo created the thread for and Mayoroflagos cosigned it. Yoruba is bigger than individuals and/or splinter groups - it's a commonwealth and our collective destiny is the same.

We can't let folks hijack or dictate what we should talk about to us. We'll discuss the good, bad, and ugly. The purpose of the thread is to enlighten folks about our potentials, what we're doing right, celebrate our history/culture/heritage/achievers/traditions, and our shortcomings. If we decide to start avoiding our shortcomings cos of what romanis think, or cos some folks think we need to cover them - then the purpose of the thread would be deflated. Yorubas believe in pluralism - so why can't we let folks discuss whatever they want to discuss? Ritchiee wanted to discuss the debts and we all added our critiques. That's basically the reason why I locked into the thread.

Personally, I came to NL cos of Yoruba history/culture/traditions and how Yorubas are faring in Nigeria - and maybe Edos to an extent. I don't have time for no partisan politics or personality. These personalities don't even inspire me, and none of them are role models to me. The only Nigerian role models I have are mostly long dead and buried. Awolowo, Julius Ojo-Cole, Ladipo Solanke, Wole Soyinka, Fela Kuti, and Christopher Okigbo. I don't care about these people and they're not infallible to me. So I shall critique them whenever they do something wrong, regardless of whose ox is gored, period. No apologies.

For some people, the political party is supreme as has been seen on Nairaland since forever.

We share the same thoughts, you completely spoke my mind there.

how much did they spent on the opon imo?
all in the bid to win the heart of the masses.
why can't he use the money for other things, like the schools ICT section. et al

the man is really confused
he should scrap the free feeding.

BTW
I support the move to stop the payment of waec fees

..IS THE GOVERNMENT OF IROKO KILLING ONDO GENERAL HOSPITAL OR....
We at the renew ondo group has watched the monumental collapse of the general hospital ondo town (state specialist).
From the entrance of the hospital ,you will be greated with potholes like what use to exist on Benin-ore in road, it is not impossible that many patients would've died because of the "trauma" sustained enroute the emergency of that hospital.
Secondly is the report of epileptic power supply,a member of our group had the misfortune of loosing his father at this hospital few weeks back when the doctor attending was trying to give him drip to revive him suddenly the light went off ,the doctor was on able to see despite the torchlight and her thick glasses. The poor old man died in the mist of the doctors struggle,our member later gathered that the hospital generator is usually put off by ten 10:00pm, irrespective of what is going on.
Mr Governor no be this we vote for o!!!!!!
But many claim the light in the new hospital at Laje road is never off,,but that the cost of receiving treatment there is exorbitant (for the rich)
Mr governor are you killing the only hospital available for the poor in ondo town
The Hospital environment is so so so dirty with jungles growing in some areas,haba!!!!
Even the careless burning of dry leaves and grass was witnessed by our member while the father was ill.,with smoke entering the ward.
The story is always no this,no that, no oxygen,no light, ..............
Most of the wards are dilapidated,with cracked walls and rickety doors and windows all covered up under new paint " sagbe Loju yoyo packaging "
The hospital looks like sheep's without shepherd, or I'd there no one in charge there?
Mr commissioner pls appoint a head,or manager for the hospital we beg of you!!
Mr commissioner of health or are you on a mission to kill this hospital in other to promote your EXPENSIVE HEALTH VILLAGE?
OR is it the hospital management that is floppy and clueless?
Or is this the dividend of having "our son" in power ad governor?
Something must be done, or the people of ondo will soon forget the past good deeds of this government,health is wealth.
We Hope someone somewhere will read this and act
Long live the land of ekimogun.

Gbawe,

I don't see why we can't multitask: encourage, criticize and applaud.

I'm still looking for something to applaud.

You're mainly trying to tell ME that I can't criticize the likes of Aregbesola who likes to spend beyond their means? Aseju ni yen.


Let's not try to save face online because of mischievous fellows. By doing so, were protecting mediocrity.

Some of these political stooges check out nl.

I'm surprised this brilliant post from our Aunty never got a response.




Also, while playing catch up on the thread, I saw something about 'now that SWest is now aligned with the centre'.

What happens when the table turns and SWest is no longer aligned with the centre?

And has it gotten that bad that SWest has to depend on the centre?

I was expecting propositions bordering on:

Cutting expenses

Generating/increasing IGR

Cutting down and if possible paying off the debts accrued

Welfare

Agriculture (I presume states should be able to do this without assent from the centre?)

Education

And most importantly, regional cohesion that we have been mentioning since the beginning of the thread.

After reading the thread from where where I left off, all I deduced was the advert of a party or the present government as though the make up of the present government aren't from PDP as well.

I do not think this is why we have congregated here - to be political.

We are here to raise the veil on every one and everything, no matter the party.

I fear, if we entertain the 'political' then gathering is of no use since there are so many threads of that nature all over NL.

I thought to enter this thread requires dropping political leaning or mentality at the porch.

Loool. Sad.

The funniest thing is that none of them even bothered explaining to sway us, by highlighting (a, b, c, and d) why the recurrent expenditure in each state is that huge and the reasons for the huge debts profile. They just ran over the thread with well-coordinated attacks, saying a lot without saying anything. While heaping all the blame on the civil service.

Every sane person knows that the civil service is just a fraction of the recurrent expenditure. What about the rest? Shouldn't these folks who are card carrying members of these backward political parties with no ideology whatsoever be privy to the information?

Anyway, they won. We all logged out and gave them a free ride on the thread. It's over now - we want our thread back.

I haven't read the entire thread but kudos to all asking pertinent questions.

In my view, the present SW Leadership is failing. Fashola apart, the others have been a disappointment - Aregbesola, Ajumobi, Fayemi, Amosun, Ambode, Mimiko.

There are no sustainable ideas from any of them. The sad part is that they are all missing a great opportunity.
