Text of the page (random words):
number of the total beneficiaries who made judicious use of the social benefit program under jkf has been women their success testimonies of several businesses have been revealing and encouraging i ve seen them pray cry sing dance and come out in huge numbers across all the communities visited in some communities e g iwaji and irare ekiti jkf met with people that were not up to 30 all of them were women it s interesting to see that he does not consider any community irrelevant from the small to the hugely crowded every vote counts no vote is irrelevant the villages verdict on other towns if this election is free and fair jkf will comfortably win all the hinterland votes split ikere win ado votes and win ekiti north and south west comfortably forget the noise in eda ile ayegunle ise ekiti orisumbare isinbode the stern rebuke to fayose s government was uncontrollable each community regaled their ordeal in a distinct fashion gbosa s public rebuke of fayose in ikere is there for all to see in some other communities egbe are ikere ise to mention a few jkf did not have to campaign it was a festival in all of the 118 communities the utmost rejection of fayose s overtures because of his lack of any sensible or reasonable project in 44 months is telling in ikere the hometown of eleka the massive welcome and standing ovation for jkf was very surprising given how significant the town is in current politicking while i observed jkf s reiteration of the different projects he executed in each community while in office i noticed a stark contrast with no significant project executed by fayose community members chanted a recurrent theme he has not paid salaries but increased taxation on everything we pay for school fees now whither the infrastructure social and economic programs isinbode was our first community visited it is the most traumatic experience of my road trips in nigeria there are no words to adequately describe that road it took us about 1 hour to get there given that agriculture is the only viable sector in ekiti i do not see any sensible investor investing in ekiti communities given the decrepit infrastructure and the lack of connecting road networks i have seen everywhere on farm access roads roads connecting to farmlands are in distressing conditions increasing the cost to agricultural products and cultivation activities from oye to ifaki iworoko ilawe ikere to mention a few some of the roads are dilapidated and in horrible form the complaints in many local governments efon alaaye are afao ijero that fayose simply used a divide between roads already constructed by fayemi and named them as his programs to me that s not even relevant what is missing is that we lack the data to accurately prioritize road access for farmers so as to ease their business ventures and incentivize more investments the ministry of agriculture allegedly has just one tractor economically its unjustifiable to me how fayose has collected n251 9bn with a high domestic loan of n87bn in 3 years but without significant economic and social programs in ekiti state dmo https www dmo gov ng debt profile sub national debts 2476 states and the fct domestic debt stock as at december 31 2017 file the high level of joblessness in ekiti state is scary also worrisome is how the debt profile will be a considerable burden on jkf hopefully when he wins the july 14 elections how would he pay the backlog of salaries least of which is 7 months the pensions complete abandoned projects begin new ones provide jobs improve lives and communities and essentially create industrial clusters which are the only way to economic prosperity in ekiti state how will he gather data given the paucity of information in ekiti state how will he process information and analyze them and apply these data to govern efficiently fayose s crass opportunism the charlatanism of fayose makes me cringe i know it applies to other well meaning citizens who feel ashamed at the indignifying way that ekiti citizens are treated doling out chicken eating on the roadside buying corns make for good tv but does not improve lives create jobs or build a better future many of you are now aware of the video on social media where the jobless governor appeared suddenly on the scene of a walking but fainting woman of course this went viral it is the theatre of the absurd shameless and gullible fayose s handouts of stomach infrastructure have been nothing but the fraud that he is deplorable values i believe that the entry of fayose to ekiti politics was the beginning of the desecration of social and cultural values and the erosion of dignity and honour in ekiti state i am miffed upset and shocked when on several occasions on the campaign i hear young children some as young as 6 ask for money on many occasions e ju owo le drop the money were the repeated chants everywhere we went by many of our unemployed young threats like if you don t drop we won t vote was also pervasive and it is not covert they tell you to your face i also sat in union interface meetings where the concerns of christian association of nigeria can was more about if jkf will support their pilgrimage ambitions or if jkf will give prominent seats in the case of islamic council of nigeria in fact a comprehensive list of positions was given out read demanded to jkf as perhaps the conditionality for support politics is funny and migration to apc the number of people who migrated to apc from fayose are too many to count hon akinniyi emmanuel aka gbosa ikere 4 honorable members former deputy chief whip ekiti state pdp women leader efon alaaye hon oni atiba hon afele aka uncle t ara ijero hon odunayo arinka former lga sec ado ekiti i was informed that these are big wigs in the politics of their communities the elections will indeed prove their worth gestures are important physical touch and a sense of belonging are high among the list of endearment amongst my ekiti people i watched how faces brightened each time jkf engages in activities line dancing and handshaking on the campaign on many occasions when he walked engaged in conversations and took part in social activities i ve seen how people lightened up n200 is a big deal getting involved is the only way money is a big deal in politics nigeria s case is a different ball game in the case where poverty is rife and values are downtrodden it s worse if i m going to leave my day job to run for office i kept wondering why would i bribe you to get your votes when i have no plan of recouping the money why would i spend n20m on a campaign when there is no assurance i would win the election let alone get my investment back what have you benefitted in this community in 3 years were my repeated questions to many of the young people i spoke to who asked for money we need electoral finance reform if the smart and bright amongst us will vie for political office i also discovered many local politicians who are stunned at the level of conversation i sometimes marshall in communities and they often ask why are you not running for house of rep elections smiles i also discover that the people cannot rise above the level of their enlightenment many have never heard about constituency votes or budgets for their communities they are simply amazed when i open the nigerian budget and show them whilst explaining the debt profile of ekiti to a citizen he simply asked me for proof after showing him the dmo website and now in the face of truths he still doubted the information many also only know what mr lere olayinka tells them to verify as truth or not is irrelevant he is their source for all information on ekiti s public debt or perception poverty is rife poverty is rampant in ekiti state don t be deceived by whatever narrative you have been told the contributions of the current government to this is also not mistaken here is an example jkf had 40 000 he employed during his first term fayose has not employed up to 5 000 people jkf had 20 000 elders earning n5 000 on monthly social benefit owo arugbo program which then was 10 of the elderly population this too has been scrapped so even if these numbers are few that about 30 000 people who were on government pay have lost their source of livelihood is worrisome consumption is down so is consumerism this loss of income enough for livelihood even if not enough for spending disposable income is telling on society it is important to mention how on the campaign ground many testimonials from many people about the impact this made in their lives and how this has since faltered massive number turn out in ise ikere ado emure egbe iyin igede efon alaaye are isan oye ikogosi igbara odo ido ile ikun igogo to mention a few in ikere and ekiti south the political structure of prince adeyeye was seen in high numbers in emure ise eporo ikere and even elsewhere in ado ekiti and parts of ekiti north senator arise s popularity is undimmed in oye lga the popularity of bisi egbeyemi is not even in question just pay a visit to ado ekiti and go around ekiti fake news hq of nigeria during the mega rally i witnessed how some folks took an early event picture of the aerial photography of oluyemi kayode stadium to distort the facts they simply showed an early stadium crowd to project a conclusion that the crowd didn t show up for fayemi only to go dumb when the true pictures emerged i have also seen how they go quiet when pictures of massive campaign crowd across the communities emerge but only regain their voices when jkf campaigns amongst the remote communities not even numbering up to 300 people as an ekiti citizen i was saddened to see the deplorable use of falsehood and propaganda in ekiti but this is now a global trend it is not only depressing it is mentally disturbing i recall that the 2014 elections witnessed lies e g that jkf had a university in ghana that he paid billions on flowers all that but these are nothing compared to the 2018 lies fayemi is coming to sack teachers fayemi s convoy killed someone fayemi will give land to fulani fayemi is coming to revenge etc the lies peddling by fayose and his sidekick lere olayinka has not only permeated ekiti politics it is pervasive and has been the most eye opening and interesting part of my conversations in ado and ikere especially people fall easily for them the long term impact of this on social and civil conversation is left to be seen i am also amazed at how so many people are gullible and cannot reason beyond and above partisan lines in ekiti especially many of the otherwise educated folks in ekiti state however despite this i am glad that the vibe i got four years ago when i traveled around ekiti while getting my first election baptism is different today the energy is more the reception is incredible and the overall perception of jkf is not what you get on social media summary i pray for jkf but the challenge before him is herculean the debt profile of ekiti state provides no inspiration for any loan or help from any international body unless it is a grant i am still wondering how n98bn got spent in ekiti state in 3 years because i have not seen anything to justify the expense poverty is rife there is no infrastructure data is scanty there are no industries precious thriving businesses like ikogosi and ire burnt brick have been abandoned and the roads are in horrible form i am glad that he is running again for this position because if he wins ekiti state will be better off i know this because given his history and record given his first term public record he is the most performing most cerebral and most well meaning amongst those i have seen in the public discourse about the path towards rebuilding ekiti state there can be no doubt about our future if ekiti state is placed in good hands seun fakuade share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on linkedin

reality president elect donald trump as a nigerian i am glad i will not have to say that in any capacity commentaries have since kicked in even though it is less than 24 hours it is interesting to notice that everyone now is an expert on the outcome of the us election offering similar sentiments and scientific evidence on why hillary lost the same election that has dumbfounded historians media reputable pollsters and economists the world over it is now clear that projected voters who failed to turn out for hillary led to her loss but the impact of this loss to her and believers around the world in a glass shattering dream will linger for a while to come going forward trump s mandate reflects on populist nationalism accompanied as usual with less specifics economic growth rhetoric even if many low pay jobs are done by immigrants anti immigration close borders build walls and shockingly offer sweeping crude and proven failed security tactics to challenges confounding our world trump rhetoric won over a disgruntled angry and frustrated middle class who blamed job losses to stifling business environment and trade deals that has shortsighted america job losses to china and mexico this despite america s economic growth jobs which steadied from the recession 8 years ago obama has brought about 11 million jobs since the 2008 redefining a 73 month consecutive job growth with platitudes he intends to restore job growth with little or no specificity no concrete economic paths out for his winning big economically he has promised to replace and repeal obamacare and render about 26million people without a competent replacement health policy the implications of a trump presidency reemphasizes the everlasting axiom all politics are local here is an unusual person who went against a system and stood viciously against it offering sound bites and playing to the sentiments of an angry demography indeed populist ideas to the wide majority of angry and frustrated voters with trump scandals rather energized than deter this core angry base especially against an equally untrusted though more experienced alternative in clinton this is a man who delights and feeds on shocking declarations bordering on the incomprehensible to the unbelievable from murdering people in new york to groping women when america nominated trump i expected a win i did this because i have been involved in elections in my home country nigeria and at one point a performing incumbent was replaced by a man of similar behavior as trump once ekiti state happened i knew america could even if the anthropology differed although there is more to this narrative the clear verdict so far is that the world is rallying agains...
