WEEKEND GOSSIP!!!!
Our weekend gossip desk took us to this story in Ekiti State..
One of the gratest gossip that hit the Nation last year was the story.. "Governor Fayose driving a Lorry"
Governor Fayose Surprsingly Drives Lorry To Inspect State Project In Ekiti State
by Emmanuel Lala
Published: Aug 31, 2015 in News
Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state is definitely one of the most surprising Governors ever. The Ekiti state Governor works even on a sunday and surprised the indigenes of the state when he visited a project riding in a lorry vehicle.
The extensively channelization project at Arowa-Darlimore area of Ado Ekiti is being done with concrete embankments to stop flooding in the area. The governor however decided to drive himself in a local tipper lorry.

We Fared Better Under Fayemi, Ekiti Workers Lament
Over a year after he handed over power to the incumbent, former Governor Kayode Fayemi is being missed by Ekiti State workers, who said they fared better under his government.
They alleged poor welfare conditions occasioned by non-payment of their salaries and other entitlements under the Governor Ayo Fayose administration in the state.
Making their observations known under the aegis of Enlightened Workers Forum (EWF), they claimed that the last Yuletide was “the worst for workers in the history of Ekiti” as many of them celebrated the holidays in hunger.
The EWF, in a statement yesterday by its Coordinator, Mike Bamidele, said workers enjoyed salary increase at least three times during the Fayemi administration aside other incentives such as promotion, special Christmas/New Year allowances, among others.
Fayemi, according to them, “gave substantial Christmas bonuses to all workers, which started from 10 per cent of basic salaries in his first year to 30 per cent in the fourth year”.
The EWF recalled that during negotiations leading to the N19,250 minimum wage being enjoyed in the state, it was believed that the Federal Government would increase allocations to states but this was not to be as states began having difficulties paying salaries.
They said Fayemi, who is now the Minister for Solid Minerals, in agreement with labour leaders in the state, adopted the option of paying net salaries and differing deductions till when there would be special releases but the organised labour did not carry workers along on the decision “hence the blackmail that followed”.
The statement said: “Fayose has never increased salary in the history of his governance of Ekiti State, rather he is known for inciting the people of the state against the workers.
“We had no doubt found ourselves in a situation whereby the Awo free education legacy had been destroyed in Ekiti State, as pupils in primary and secondary schools have to pay fees.
“Now artisans and various trade groups groan under the burden of heavy tax. May God save workers from the pains they are going through. The benefits of the Fayemi administration were enormous”.

Appropriation Bill of Ekiti State with N67 billion budgetary estimates was yesterday signed into law by the state governor.
The governor also, on the occasion, signed five other bills recently passed by the state House of Assembly into law.
They bills are Ekiti State College of Technology and Commercial Agriculture Bill, 2015 Revised Appropriation Bill, Ekiti State Regency Bill, the Ekiti State Kidnap and Terrorism (Prohibition) Bill, 2015 and Office of Public Defender Bill, 2015, were also passed.
The governor, who said the speedy passage into law of the 2016 Appropriation Bill presented to the Assembly last week, was function of the unity of purpose between the executive and legislature.
He said copies of the budget would be sent to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the independent Corrupt Practices and other related Crimes Commission, ICPC, “as collaborators of our government to help us monitor the implementation of the budget especially capital projects”.
The governor, who said the budget would be executed for the good of the people, however, took a swipe at the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government, saying it should address the problems facing Nigeria.

HISTORY OF IJERO EKITI...
Ijero Ekiti is a town in Ekiti State of
Nigeria in West Africa. "Ijero Ekiti" refers
to a common thought or mutual
understanding which is situated in the
northwest part of Ekiti State. Ijero Ekiti is
the headquarters of Ijero Local
Government since 1976. She has other
component town under her control such
as Ijurin Ekiti, Ikoro Ekiti, Iroko Ekiti,
Ayegunle Ekiti, Ipoti Ekiti, Iloro Ekiti,
Temidire Ekiti, Ilukuno Ekiti and others
are Epe Ekiti, Ara Ekiti, Araromi Ekiti, Oke
Oro Ekiti, and Odo Owa Ekiti. The main
language spoken by the indigenes of
Ijero Ekiti is Ekiti dialect and the Yoruba
language.
Ijero Ekiti coordinates in the north by
07.42.61 degree, east 00517.9 degree and
her elevation is 1332. Ijero local
government is bordered by Moba Local
Government in the north, Ido Osi Local
Government, Irepodun/Ifelodun Local
Government in the east, Ekiti West in the
south and Ila Orangun are in Osun State
in the West and Northwest. Ijero Ekiti is
about five (5) hours drive to Abuja, The
Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, also
about four (4) hours drive to Lagos City
Metropoly and about twenty minutes (20)
minutes drive to Ado Ekiti, The Capital of
Ekiti State.
With a population of 222,000 people as it
was shown with the 2007 population
census, Ijero Ekiti is the second largest
town in the whole of Ekiti State. The Ijero
local government has a largely agrarian
population producing cash crops such as
cocoa, kola nuts, coffee, kola, cashew,
and timber. She also produces food
crops such as yam, cocoyam, cassava,
pepper, tomatoes, and banana. and all
crops mentioned above are produced in
large quantities with good qualities. Ijero
Ekiti is also the seat of mineral resources
such as tourmaline, colombat, vesper,
and crystal stone.
Ijero Ekiti has the presence of both
federal and state in the local government
such as Telecommunication Center,
Mobile Network Station, Power Holding
Company of Nigeria (PHCN), police
command, specialist hospital, factory,
sawmill, bakeries, filling station (both
Mega and privately owned) banks,
schools (primary, secondary and tertiary
institutions such as School of Health
Technology, Ekiti State Cooperative
College and Government Technical
College Ijero Ekiti).
Ijero Ekiti is the home of culture and
tradition of which our dressing has
traditional value. Male dress in Buba and
Sokoto with fitted cap while the female
dress in Iro and Buba with Gele (head
tie), the chief dresses in traditional attire
and put on beads on their neck and wrist
both male and female chief. Queen
Abokoaye is the head queen while chief
Eyegun of Ijero Ekiti is the head of female
in the kingdom.
The king (Owa Ajero of Ijero Kingdom)
always dress in big attire called Agbada
with crown and beads on his neck and on
his wrists. The queens (Olori) always
dress decently with beads on their wrists
and neck. They do not wear headgear
instead beads are used to design
headgear and this is what they wear on
their head. Abokoaye is the head of all
the Oloris (queens) in the whole of Ijero
kingdom and she also has her throne.
There is a particular ritual drum which is
always beaten during Ijero cultural
festival for only Abokoaye and this drum
can be beaten by only a chief whose
name is Chief Alugbedu from Oke-Oro,
while High Chief Obanla is the second in
command to Owa Ajero and Chief Egbedi
is the chief security to Owa throughout
the kingdom and other important Chief
in the lineage.
Before the introduction of foreign
religion, Ifa, Osun, Imole, Orisa nla and
Ogun are the gods which our fore fathers
worships in those days. Chief Olotin,
Chief Esinkin, Chief Olorogun, Chief
Asosanyi, Chief Egbedi, Chief Asaba, Chief
Aasan and Chief Saloro are the custodian
of cultural heritage in Ijero Ekiti. The
chiefs mentioned are directly involved in
the cultural festival. There are various
cultural activities which normally takes
place in the Kingdom.
Ijero contains a number of churches
including Seventh-Day Adventist Church,
a Catholic church, Christ Church
Cathedral, Christ Apostolic Church,
Redeemed Christian Church of God and
Winner’s Chapel.
