EXCLUSIVE PHOTO! ‘Training’ for Oyo State legislators wives at Custom House Hotel, London. United Kingdom (Photo by Seun Kolade)
Am I seeing Right? This is Ridiculously absurd. So, broke ass Oyo State dipped its hands into Tax Payers money to sponsor “Legislator’s Wives” for a Training in London. This is a BIG SHAME!, No wonder they call us a Failed State!
It is a shame on the Government of Oyo state, it is also a slap on the faces of its citizens. I thought ACN said PDP was corrupt?

President Goodluck Jonathan today admitted, for the first time, that his government ground to a halt before it could take the first step, and he blamed Boko Haram for it.
Mr. Jonathan made the confession at the 60th National Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“During [the electoral] campaign, our emphasis was more on job creation, power but now what worries us most is security,” he said. “This is because you must be alive before you will eat food”
He described security as “very, very fundamental,” saying, “If you are not safe, you can’t even think of hunger because a dead person does not need food.”
The President told senior party members that although he had promised to focus on job creation and power, he had been forced to change government policy to

Sources at Access Bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and the oil industry say that although there is no apparent focus on the role of Nigerian banks in the whole scandal, some of them, particularly the major players like Access Bank helped perpetrate the fraud.
While N240billion was approved in the 2011 budget as petrol subsidy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria’s finance minister last week told the
