REAL REASONS BEHIND OSUN STATE INCONCLUSIVE ELECTION: A Voter's Account of the Situation

Image
Being a voter in Osun State particularly in the just concluded #OsunDecides2018 , I'm wondering why many are claiming that @iam_Davido (Davido) influenced or played a big role in the outcome of #OsunDecides2018, to a larger extent: that's not correct because many of his followers are apolitical, many did not even have voter card talkless of voting. Sincerely speaking, many did not even know who Davido is, in Osun State. So in a nutshell, to the twitter and Facebook analysts who have not been in or to Osun State, Davido is not in the calculations at all.   The following are the factors that actually affect the outcome of the inconclusive election: - Workers salaries (half salaries/irregular salaries): The workers are at daggers drawn with the state government concerning their wages and this election time is their pay back time. - Snubbing of indigenous contractors for Lagos based ones: There is great enmity between the state government and the indigenous contra...

THE WEAPONIZATION OF WORKERS SALARY IN NIGERIA: Osun State as a case study in Brevity.

In Nigeria, it has now become a culture or the prevailing trends among state governments or better still state governors to either tarry a while before paying their workers or blatantly refused to pay them for months.  Even those who are paying among them are doing so irregularly such that if a worker receives his or her wages this month, there is a possibility that in the next two or three months he has to pin his hope on God.

Since the inception of the present regime from 2015 till date, Nigeria economy has witnessed a lot of meltdown due to the fall in the price of Nigeria only means of getting foreign exchange which is crude oil, coupled with the extravagant way of life of our rulers in which there are no plans for the future for the country in the event of the crashing of the mainstay of our economy. Nigeria is not the only country af...

MY TAKE ON #TraderMoni & OSUN ELECTION: Gov. Aregbesola, and the Governorship election

I am not a career politician but I am savvy politically, at the same time I am politically informed because political science was part of the courses I registered for as an undergraduate, with this and to a reasonable extent, I am not a pushover especially as regards Osun politics because I live there and I am a son of the soil. On the issue of the launching of #TraderMoni in Osun State, in Iwo on the 3rd of September, 2018 by the Vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo in company of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.  This scheme launched earlier in Lagos, Abia, Katsina, and AkwaIbom states respectively.  I think the reason for the outrageously about that of Osun is the timing.  Time is very important in everyday activities that we embark upon.  Considering the alleged vote buying mess that took place in the neighbouring Ekiti state during the last governorship election in the state, there are million reasons why people should rai...
