“A presidential candidate said you cannot drive the economy with infrastructure and i hope he do not say it again. He is so so wrong”
- Fashola to Peter Obi
@Fabian_Jay6ix@i_blanq@lagosyouknow But you people are actually funny. How do you think Tinubu, a civilian as of them can control the military? Omo, propaganda swallow propaganda, agenda swallow agenda
Do you know what's crazy? Kunle Afod saw an accident, he parked, didn't verify anything, didn't attempt any emergency number, he recorded that video for clout and left immediately. I have this on record because he confessed it to someone. I dare him to call me a liar @kunleafod
He even lied that the accident had happened and the people had been helpless for more than 20min, even as was clear with the movement in his video that it had just happened.
What kind of dangerous human being is that?
He made the video to project doom about Ogun State and left the gory scene without attempting to help. The despicable guy said no cars are waiting, meanwhile his own car was right there. Couldn't lead by example because he was only after the clout.
For someone of his caliber, that is irresponsible and every Nigerian should condemn it.
It is so unfair to the efforts of the emergency responders who were there within the acceptable response time-frame.
They had to screen record their gallery to me because no one believe d when they said they saw Kunle Afod leaving.
The curses those hardworking people have placed on him for ridiculing their effort and almost getting some of them suspended would take a lot to wash away.
I hope he understands it before it's too late.
The coordinated verbal attack on Ekiti is not because Abia or Ebonyi or Enugu or Anambra is better than Ekiti, nah it is far from it. In fact those states and not in anyway better than Ekiti in any meaning way. The attack basically because @Ekitipikin decided to support @seyimakinde, that support really bruised their egos. They know one on one comparing Obi to Seyi, they will lose badly, and they will be exposed for the bigots they are. So they decided to do a DDoS attack on Ekiti.
Dear Mayor @Ekitipikin happy weekend sir . My name is Mirabel, a proud Ekiti girl though I also have Edo blood in my veins. A graduate of Eksu & also a small business owner who resides in Ado Ekiti .
I saw the ranking and your post, though I won’t join those who are not even from here (and don’t live here) to throw insults or disrespect and That is uncalled for.
You are an indigene whose voice carries real weight, and I would rather see you keep calling out what needs to be fixed, regardless of political differences.
That said, the lived reality many of us know in Ekiti is very different from the numbers on paper.,The economy is no longer thriving the way it once did. This is further aided by Constant abuse of power by uniformed men, open repression of youths by those in government, and an atmosphere where people are afraid to openly support candidates they believe in (for fear of being maimed or worse) have silenced a lot of voices.
The Opposition parties to the ruling government in power can barely hold meaningful rallies or show public support without fear, The Youths have largely lost their voice. There have even been cases where semi-literate women were pressured through certain “women-supporting-women” groups into releasing NIN and voter’s card details; when some of us raised the alarm, we were simply removed or shut down. Greed has sunk so deep that oppression is preferred to basic civility.
On infrastructure and investment: beyond the major roads inside town that have been fixed largely for aesthetics, many adjoining and linking roads remain in bad shape. The federal roads leading in and out of Ado-Ekiti are still in a deplorable state. The textile/trade fair complex has steadily deteriorated over the last five years. Nightclubs, business schools, filling stations and other small businesses that used to have life are struggling. Things are unusually expensive, and the suffering is real. Even at the terminals, the charges for waybills often cross into outright extortion.
Around the school areas and surrounding villages, ₦150k can no longer get you a decent one-room self-contain; shared-facility rooms start from ₦200k upward. Many young people , I’d say a large majority have simply relocated their businesses and families elsewhere because they are exhausted.
I say all this not to attack you, but because the truth on the ground matters more than rankings. You still have the platform and the influence. Keep using it to speak up for better governance,And when the time is right, I hope you can also extend some of that generosity and energy toward genuine small businesses still trying to survive in Ekiti.
Ule labo simi oko o, I wish you continuous positivity and progress in all your endeavors. Alale Ekiti a Gbe in o 🙏
