THE TERRAIN SO FAR.......

·         SO FAR…

Thanks for showing interest in our project.

We started this campaign exactly on 29th day of May 2009 with what we call a Green Paper Declaration, in the 4-page paper we stated what we intend to do if it pleases God to put us in that office where we hope to make a very strong statement, we have itemized in priority form what we want to do:

1.         HEALTH: (focus on Primary health care, medical personnel’s' quarters, laboratory and drug-stop shops)

2.         WATER: (borehole industrial, water tanker services and dam water treatment chemical support and dam extension scheme collaborating FG and State Govt.

3.         AGRICULTURE with emphasis on storage facilities particularly grains hoping to do a Semovita industry

4           EDUCATION: with focus on introduction of informal education to secondary pupils in SS1-SS3 where 2-3hours is set aside for them on weekly basis  to go and learn a trade locally, equipping the libraries, removing magic centres through extra training sessions via enforcement of due registration of students and  infrastructural update and emphasis on return of sport recreation facilities   

5          JOB ROAMING AND INFORMATICS to train youths and graduate on GMAT, interview tricks and support them to access job information and using our S.S Job to push them to success- we intend to run a database on applicants

 6         SECURITY AND COMMUNITY NETWORKINGS via paid-up phone lines and residency forms to safeguard our people from the likely ills of the new Iyamoye - Jege Road that will connect Isanlu eventually.

 WE DON’T PROMISE WE DO IT

(Check our pictures, Album)…

So far we have had the privilege to demonstrate our claim, moving it away from promises, we have started doing some of what we claim we can do- for instance we have donated drugs and bed sheets to General hospitals in Isanlu, Ife-olukotun and Iddo health centre, we have trained about 350 people so far in Oke-Oyi and we are about hitting Isanlu to make it 500.

We also have by the grace of God  organized a Yagba-East Unity cup kicked off by all the traditional rulers in their domains, we have constructed the first ever roofed: 6-shed store wood in Awara market in Ife-olukotun in a market of over 500 yrs, we have donated mathematics and English 5 segment CDs to all the secondary schools in Yagba-East, an office donation to PDP in my ward, and by the grace of God have toured about 23 States of the federation  trying to meet with people of Yagba-East

 These little God has helped us to do, with some few more ones, we already have even a blue print on these which we believe the career officers can join us to make a white paper from. This does not exclude the IGR redefinition and IT driven administration

I can also tell you that we set for ourselves a low target of 50 million at minimum monthly and we expect to drive a strong IGR in 6-7 months of our stay in office when people must have started reaping from our trees, its is our plan to then have close to 45% self driven value for monthly expenditure

  somebody once asked us this question:

 How do you intend to deal with the issue of the State government  slashing the LGAs federal allocation and handing out peanuts barely able to fund the running cost of the LGA ?

IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS LG, THEY WILL NOT TOUCH YOUR MONEY, supposing they started by touching it and you went ahead doing great jobs and keep calling them to come and commission this and that, they will have a rethink, am sure the Governor will look elsewhere, maybe from those that are not working to balance the equation from hence he will stop taking from my people's own, seriously speaking, they do this because the LG are vision-less most time.

……Sorry sir it is not an issue one can handle with force it is more of relationship and of how well the Governor sees you as a serious man with your peoples fund because they are also watching you and they know what you putting in your "pocket" so why wont they ask it for their "pocket" don’t they have a pocket? of course they do in fact a bigger one! So we are talking of service to humanity which pays off on a long run than stealing on a short term and suffering on a long run
