Nigerians have taken turns to criticize Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun for Showering gifts on the winner of the just concluded Big Brother Naija reality show, Olamilekan Agbelesebioba (Laycon).

The gifts which include N5 million, a three-bedroom bungalow as well as an appointment as Ogun State Youth Ambassador was announced on Tuesday when Laycon and his team were hosted by the governor at his Oke Mosan, Abeokuta office.

According to findings by the Heritage Times, Governor Abiodun’s generosity to Laycon comes weeks after retirees protested over the non-payment of their gratuities by Ogun state government.

It also comes days after state workers embarked on a one-week warning strike to demand the implementation of the new national minimum wage.

What’s more, the state is yet to pay law students their bursary!

Thus, it wasn’t surprising that Nigerians went on social media to criticise what they believed to be an exhibition of misplaced priorities by the governor.

We bring you some of the reactions below.

Best graduating students in both OOU & TASUED got pennies, while BBN winner gets a house. Clearly sends a message about what our priorities.
One day we'll all look back at the nation we've created. The monsters we made

— Débolá (@TheAdebola) October 6, 2020

With all sincerity sir, we do not have a governor in Ogun state.
Roads are bad, schools are in bad shape, youth are restless because of unemployment and citizens didn't feel any impact / palliative during COVID19, yet Mr Governor is busy sharing our taxes to BBNaija winner.

— Shehu Sheriff Adebayo (@BEEAYWHYOO) October 6, 2020

This is the same government that cannot fund Education and pay 30k minimum wage for workers. As a student of OOU, I pay over 140k as tuition fee. #EndASUUStrike #schoolsreopening https://t.co/Ta4eD2JPSy

— Afọlájésùbí Alawode OFR ⚡ (@AlawodeAfolabii) October 6, 2020

This same Governor has failed to pay Law School students their bursary entitlement.

— FESTUS OGUN (@mrfestusogun) October 6, 2020

I will not comment now. I will save this tweet till when the next winners of Cowbell Mathematics competition emerge and see if the Govt will remember them.

— Vlademir (@daemorla) October 6, 2020

 

Many Ogun state graduates are jobless & needs empowerment , Our leaders eye service & misplaced priorities sha . Last year the Captain of the state’s football club was murdered by SARS , Not a word from the Governor this week about the protests & trends but he cares about BBN ?

— Mayor Of Lasgidi (@Mayoroflasgidi) October 6, 2020

This is a massive joke and complete show of backwardness and relegation of our young people, sons and daughter who struggle to work hard with their academics and yet, never got recognition…
Which way Nigeria!
Which way Ogun state government

— Adebayo Ayomikun (@AjifolaO) October 6, 2020

Waste of money and resources. @dabiodunMFR sir, there are many Ogun state youths doing great things out there. Look for them and encourage those one. BBN added no value to us. @SulaiOdus I'm not impressed with the excellency gesture.

— Tallest One (@OduniyiG) October 6, 2020

This is done for popularity. But gov do a sincere evaluation of your popularity in dstate. From sincere ppl not trumpeter it will help. It is going away. Even among party members. Ppl that really believe in you are telling before it becomes too late. Think about Edo, need d pol

— seyi ajayi (@evidencebyme) October 6, 2020

We have alot of youth surfing outside there ……you are there wasting money and doing irrelevant stuff…. ambassador of youth lolzzz…youth we have to wake up…..

— #ENDSARS (@Abraham91307838) October 6, 2020

Misplaced priority! Tell us what you gave to the best graduating students from the state Universities and the best students from the state secondary schools?

— AdekunleNourish (@adekunlenourish) October 6, 2020

As an indigene of Ogun State I asked the governor @dabiodunMFR if he has any plan for Ogun indigenes going to the Nigerian Law School, my governor aired me and said nothing till date. But guess who is given the hero's welcome, a house to sleep and money to spend?

— ° (@dami_legal) October 6, 2020

@dabiodunMFR I want to believe you have plans to pay law school students their bursary

— Oluwatosin Omo Ijebu (@Oluwatosin__M) October 6, 2020

This is another nonsense. He got 85m already. Some worked for your campaign tirelessly with no appointments.

— Demoshood Abiola (@De_Moshood) October 6, 2020

Misplaced priority! N5m+3bedroom bungalow to someone that just won a total of N85m.Imagine what 5m&the house monetized would do in the lives of best graduating students in Ogun state,one each in every LGA. Our Govt is really discouraging hardworking and brilliance in our schools.

— Gen. Jagaban Joe Agha Otuosorochi (@aghajoseph) October 6, 2020

Our dear Governor sir, you are invariably sponsoring illicit act. Gardening some youth in one house doing rubbish and nonsense for months at the end of the day given them money for participated in pornogrphy. Please assist youth positively not negatively. Thanks
