OSUN RERUN: A RECURRING DECIMAL




OSUN RERUN: A RECURRING DECIMAL

“I remain just one thing,
and one thing only, a
Clown. It places me on
a far higher plane than 
any politician.”
~ Charlie Chaplin

When I dropped the piece “OSUN: IN SEARCH OF A GOOD MAN” it prompted a robust political dialogue with some bright minds who are supporters of the ruling APC.

They are of the opinion that the People of Osun State made the right decision in the rerun not minding, the process was marred by massive voter intimidation and violence as long as the result is favorable.

Our people have a saying that “Whenever two people eat together, the person that had bone will remember the meal long after the person that had flesh had forgotten” PDP will not forget Osun in a hurry.

I have great respect and admiration for performance. I Salute Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Raji Fashola and current Governor Akinwunmi Ambode all of Lagos State. In fact Lagos seems to enjoy an unfair advantage over other states when it comes to good Governance from time, i remember Alhaji Lateef Jakande, Military Administrator Buba Marwa. 
So I asked my friend on a scale of 1 to 10 how will you rate the performance of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola? No direct response.

So let’s throw it open to you the reader, how will you rate the Performance of the Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola?

The Conversation continues tomorrow and guess what someone actually blames Former President Goodluck Jonathan for Aregbesola’s performance index as Governor.

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
