Barely a month after the Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, warned sports officials in the country not to use his name to organise any competition, reactions have continued to trail his visit to the United Kingdom to watch the match between Chelsea and Arsenal football clubs in the English Premiership League last Saturday.
When New Telegraph spoke to citizens of the state yesterday, majority of them described the governor’s visit to Stamford Bridge as frivolous, considering the challenges currently facing the state.
It will be recalled that Governor Bello, in August this year, warned the people when board members of the Nigeria Chess Federation and the state hockey team that won the national super league visited him at the Government House that no sports officials in the country should use his name to organise any competition.
A trader, Ibrahim Musa said: “Things are hard for us in Niger State while our governor is travelling to watch matches.
I heard they said he was on invitation, but is it not government resources that he used for the trip? “We did not vote him in to watch football, we voted him because we want him to work and bring back the lost glory of the state. Watching match is not governance.
”The state-owned football team, Niger Tornadoes, has just gained promotion to the elite Nigeria Premier League which the governor is not watching, but could waste state funds to watch football abroad..........”
See him face....oshi
ReplyDeleteThings are really hard in that state sha. Make them free the man. Their mouth is now sharp, what did they do to Talba that used state money for 8yrs to plant flowers and erect billboard.
DeleteImagine!
DeleteWasting money like is no man's business.
Seriously, only wen u live in this state then u will understand the people's pain, so if they are angry that the governor is going to watch match they have the right to, in Niger state there is no company at all just ministries, and the jobs here are only for the indigine of the state, they prefer to employ a nigerlite with school leaving certificate than a non nigerlite with masters degree, thou that's nt my business, but niger state has the largest land mass in nigeria, but the government can't even make use of the opportunity the state has.

I don't knw why this news sounds funny to me.
DeleteI live in Niger state and it's disturbing that the governor of the state would travel just to watch football. Suleja in Niger state is in an appalling state, the potholes on the roads are numerous, water isn't stable even though it is being rationed. Major roads into Suleja are terrible, when some individuals or churches decide to fix roads leading to their various homes or churches, the stupid Emir and his council refuse. But they can allow their touts parade the roads and collect stipends from drivers making a living.
DeleteNiger State should be a different state being that it used to be the former Abuja....there are some ways of generating revenue from the state (Zuma rock, Gurara waterfall) instead they prefer to rely on the hardworking non-indigenes.
Whatever your name is, kindly rise up to the plenty work awaiting you. Muazu Babangida didn't do anything on the PDP platform, kindly show us that you truly represent change.
Haba all work and no play make........ a dull man, pls una free the mallam jare abi he should not have leisure again bcà use hes governor?
DeleteHaba all work and no play make........ a dull man, pls una free the mallam jare abi he should not have leisure again bcà use hes governor?
DeleteLol. Abeg make una free the man. So because he's a governor he shouldn't have a social live. Bad belle people
ReplyDeleteHehhehehe. All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
ReplyDeleteAbeg make them free the guy, e go chop the life of him head. Live and lets live biko!
ReplyDeleteHypocrisy
ReplyDeleteIf he traveled while on vacation with his own money, then that should fine. Lots of sport fans travel to see their favourite sports.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm.
ReplyDelete
DeleteAbeg leave them for Judgement day....
Make una leave our ABULOLO Oooh, we in Niger state are not vexing,as he don make we dey get constant light for my area.
By the way....make i do small amebo! From the stables of Niger state...
My people,so after election them elect new office holders, amongst them is the deputy Governor.
Niger state capital no to get better road,there is this particular area that students live and the road is so horrible from year to year them no gree repair am. The deputy Governor stays in that same area (it's a larger landmass ).
As them elect ama..he decided to reconstruct the road... which is a GOOD THING BUT THE UNFAIR PART IS.... the repairing of the road starts from his gate and ends at the junction that has tarred road..
He didn't bother about other parts.
Hnmmm
ReplyDeleteIs he not an APC member?...
ReplyDeleteWhat do they expect?...
Next please!...
How is this a problem ?
ReplyDeleteHe went to watch match,
Delete-when Meyrowa is still 30 naira.
-When kerosine is 150 naira
-When nepa bill look like transcript
-When his deputy would be driving convoy every where,with different expensive car and you gats wait till the car finish.
-When b-boys would be collecting people's phones,laptops at night.
- when all the road in minna is bad, one would have to hold his or her chest before u would have heart attack from entry potholes n road bumbs
Hahahahahaha I no fit laugh
ReplyDeleteSo because he is a governor he is not allowed to have a good time.....plus that Ibrahim musa is an idiot, watching football is not governance, the rubbish he said is it part of trading........people shld use there sense, our leaders need this kind of recreation to ease of the stress
ReplyDeleteSee how u r busy contradicting yourself? Olodo

Haven't you read about him? He is about to be named absentee governor. He's hardly around in the state to attend to issues. Always in abuja.
ReplyDeleteAPC the much needed change. I laugh in...The people have a right to complain if he is hardly on sit to oversee affairs of the state.
Change is not in any party. We are in a sorry state of affairs. Muazu Aliyu was also a very terrible governor. It isn't a laughing matter
DeleteThey should just allow him be... I don't think he committed any crime by doing that. People looking for trouble where there is known.
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteSo because he is a governor he should not groove again. People should be careful with their judgement.
ReplyDeleteNah black leader nah.
ReplyDeletethem go kill am?
ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
Is part of d acclaimed change now, so no need 2 panic! Hehehehe
ReplyDelete*****MhizDerbyViaIG*****
This is just 1 out of a thousand other frivolities we might never get to know about...
ReplyDeleteThis same guy that loves sex orgies in his Garki 2 apartment! He loves seeing naked girls play with each other and then picks one to sleep with. All these Hausa men and pretense. He only won cus he Gen Abdulsalami Abubakars inlaw.Yeye man
ReplyDeleteAnon 12.55, that one na small thing.. In niger state where they do meetings nko, they would ask for hot fine girls as ushers,so they can pick for the night?
DeleteIf you a fine girl like me, you would have most of them contact cos them no dey use eyes see woman. If u go out when its a bit dark 7pm n co, them go just dey follow u.here is my card. MD so so n so, honourable so so n so, c.e. o so so..
And you must be yellow pawpaw
Aaaah these anonymous chics, you all sound bitter and hurt. How do you know so much about his private life? He didn't like any of you? Why the anger? How does what he does with his own penis and body now become your problems? Have you taken care of yourselves and your issues in your own families and homes? Yet you say others are pretending or are hypocrites. Is it your penis? Is it your vagina? This is pure bad belle. The man didn't use state funds to go watch a match. Was he poor before now? Is this the first time he is doing this? Always get your facts right. But I can see that you girls are just the ones who can only hate from outside and dream about what can never be! Try and make an honest living, pussy don't always sell that well, so when these men reject you, you don't come to the public and make fools of yourselves.
DeleteI hope my comment has not entered your pot of soup...
ReplyDeleteShey they said talba didn't do anything for them? Abulolo would be worse. As initial gra gra (IGG) the only work they have started since May is the road to the deputy governor's house which is a complete disaster. Who construct road with mud during raining season?
ReplyDeleteDon't come and tell me about paiko/abuja road, ma talba start the work.
Niger state voted for party not person, fine boy, Umar Nasko would not have been any better sef. Wetin concern me sef, Make I do dey go back my state lol
Meanwhile, if you live in minna and have Sallah meat abeg invite a sister.
