The same Osun state that cannot pay civil servants salaries is where an ordinary commissioner will siphon 2.2 billion naira. If commissioner fit thief that kind money wetin SSG, Chief of Staff, Deputy Governor and the Executive Governor go come thief. Nigeria is in dire need of a revolution.

If Anthony general should defraud a state with this, what will governor do.

APC appointees and fraudulent activities under the FAKE kworupton phyter.

This is serious but I doubt If anything will come out of this double standard is too much, d lighting speed fayose was arrested and even his finance commissioner was interrogated while even in the office but this I seriously doubt

EFCC should go ahead and probe anybody that was suspected of illegal dealing especially relating to public office. This people should be thought to respect a public position. It's not a makt place

Thank God Aregbesola didn't have a house. Bunch of idiots.
It all belong to Kabiru and his father.

There are several initiatives that this present government of Muhammad Buhari isn't taking seriously, Youwin program of Jonathan istration gave grants to several entrepreneurs which helped to create jobs.

This present istration started a laudable program called GEM project ed by the world bank(World bank ed the program with 160 million dollars loan) because they are seriously concerned about youth joblessness in Nigeria .

http://projects.worldbank.org/P103499/nigeria-growth-employment-states?lang=en

and world class ing firms like PriceWaterCoopers were involved to ensure the program runs smoothly .

Few people from Youwin 3 were merge to the GEM project and given first tranche of the grant ,few got second tranche and neglected afterwards .

Several people already went through the GEM induction and interview and were selected but the Ministry of trades and commerce have refused to release the grant. The question everyone is asking is Why, why and why.

Job creation is not rocket science... Entrepreneur in Nigeria have ideas and if the govt can assist them,thousands and millions of jobs would definitely be created.

Please what happened to the GEM project of the federal government of Nigeria. Anyone with answers,please??
