Dec 20, 2014 – In Pictures: Governor Fayose Gives Christmas Rice & Chicken To Ekiti State’s Hungry People
Nigerian Politician Gives Out Chickens & Bags Of Rice To People From His State
Few months after he used rice to woo their votes, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has continued with his mandate to feed all the hungry people that voted him into office.
Before you take offence at the term ‘hungry’ in the headline, let me explain some things to you.
Ekiti people like other states has wealthy class of people, comfortable class and poor people.
According to a research carried out a week after Fayose won the election in Ekiti, we learnt that 80% of people living in the rural areas (villages) of the state got him the victory.
So he promised to take good care of them with his stomach infrastructure program which he is committed to.
On Thursday and Friday, he distributed 100,000 bags of rice and 80,000 chickens to them.
A source who was at the place said many of them left the place disappointed because it wasn’t enough for the huge lineup of people who came to receive their Christmas gift.
See photos from the event that held at the State House yesterday and a day before below:
80,000 chickens and 100,000 bags of rice for over one million people??? Stomach infrastructure indeed.
I said this before Fayose will use the stomach infrastructure nonsense to loot the state dry and people will continue to be poor under his administration. Shame on those useless people who sold their votes for a bag of rice. The era of kowonleru has arrived. My wife is from Ekiti and she is disgusted by this stupid idea of enslaving people’s destiny
Ohhhhh my God. Ekiti people are so u******ss and s****d. Chicken and rice for your life. It’s a shame ekitians.god punish this rascal by name Fayose.
@ author I agree with the caption, it is only the desperately hungry that will stoop so low to such demand.
Take a look at those lining up they are mainly covered in hijab, these are the uneducated folks living in remote villages in the state. Omaseo, what a useless set of people
It’s a clueless endevour. Nobdy cn feed d world. U dnt giv pipul fish; u teach dem fishing.
Personally l think it is high time for those who did not want him to win the election leave him alone. He has won an election just like Osun why all these insults. Insulting a whole state simply because your best was not the choice of the people. Let’s learn to respect people’s choice.
I’m ashamed of my Yoruba people particularly those from Ekiti state, this hopeless criminal called Fayose used this same method of rice sharing to buy your votes and he continues on the same propaganda. What Fayose is doing is dangerous and somebody must stop him in his track. This same stipends are the practices of the northern leaders untill it was no longer feasible to continue handing the hungry stipends instead of creating means of livelihood for them. This very habit is what has created a breeding ground for thousands of hungry religious militants called Boko Haram today. Not even the richest country on earth, the USA can successfully feed people on free handout, otherwise America would have succeeded in ridding its streets of thousands of destitudes as its seen in all streets corners of America. Fayose should create means of livelihood and stop the nonsense he is engaged in otherwise, the products of his stupidity will grow someday to haunt not only the Ekiti people but entire Nigeria as we see today in Boko Haram insurgency. Boko Haram is fuelled largely by idleness, joblessness and hunger that had been created by northern leaders which was bottled up by the habit of giving stipends like Fayose is doing and, the end result of Fayose’s senseless style of populist political behaviour will be too catastrophic to handle in future.
U can imagine all in d name of poverty, line up under sun all becuase u want to collect 10cups of rice and one month old chicken. Besides, is it christmas gift or ileya gift, all dis woman in hijab na something else ooo.
unless u have been there ”poor to the teeth” do not judge these people. some of them have children and are not even sure where the next meal would come from and yet you insult them , c’mon people, lets imagine ourselves in their shoes and besides we all do not think alike
NOTHING BUT POVERTY PEOPLE IN EKITI DONT FIGHT FOR THEIR FUTURE ONLY FOR BAG OF RICE AND CHICKEN SHAME ON YOU AND THE GOVERNOR ……..
Fayose giving the less privileged people fish is good, but it will better is you teach them how to catch the fish them self..For u Ekiti people dont let your stomach to make u to sell the future of your children and unborn
Governor Fayose giving the less privileged people fish is good, but it will be better if you create an avenue to teach them how to catch the fish them self… You Ekiti people don’t let your stomach to make you sell the future of yourself children and unborn
The word of GOD say’s”Study to show yourself approved unto GOD, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
May we not eat the future of our children children in Jesus name(AMEN).

These treasury looters keep playing on the intelligence of Nigerians by taking advantage of their pathetic state of economy that they created . What a shame.
Some idiots are selling the future of their children just because of a bag of rice and a chicken, which cannot last them for a year let alone another 4 years. It is a BIG TRAGEDY for those who accept this ugly BRIBE.
