I live in benin,without trying to justify d governor's choice of word's,u must try to understand his frustration.countless number of times,he has personally led d taskforce to plead with d people to stop using d walkway for trading.He needed to take dat type of action but to utter such a word was uncalled for.But i maintain dat it was in the heat of the moment.

Yes....... The same way PDP is responsible for VAN PERSIE Porting to Man United..........shior.

chukwudi44:

Seriously PDP is responsible for this too? Smh

It's so unfortunate that some Nigerians can reduce this topic to a political party debate. Who gives a f@#! about PDP or APC? Why are you guys finding it so difficult to think that any of us can be oppressed in this manner?! You guys are shouting about APC and PDP. Shame on you guyz mhennn!

buyaka: I am so disapointed at Oshomole , infact he was my comrade Governor, but for him to use this phrase, Go and die, u r a widow, is not good of him. he need to appologise to this widow.

apologies will be in order but will it change who he is?

It's clear some people are commenting without actually watching the clip eg Pdude.

The woman is not a road side hawker,she is not selling her wares by the road.She simply alighted from a bus with her goods and was ferrying them to the other side of the road for a wheel barrow or truck pusher to take to her home when Oshiomole intercepted her.

This is plain wickedness.I have never seen. The woman cried,begged,even said her late husband was a police man yet Oshiomole had no change of heart. He's heart is stone cold and dead. Tufiakwa

chiefkpokp: Yes I agree that dis is really d work of pdp and their agent, u pple are here running ur mouth anyhow, I bet u r not in d state, if not u should have known that even what d widow did was wrong! Do you know since when d governmenr have been making efforts to remove hawkers from the work way, anyone that is caught by the enforcement agent would have his or her goods seize and taking away. I hope you know that if d government have had pardon dis widow,then tomorrow u will c anoda widow doing d same thing.... Its clear that they have warn that any workway seller should desist from that habit! But them non dey hear word.

please I'm not a politician ooo! I was just passing by that morning and couldn't stand what the governor was doing to that poor widow and decided to record it! Must everything be linked to politics? Please stop calling me a politician!...... And nothing justifies the governor asking the widow to go and die! Haba

okeyxyz: OP please stop with this your lies and emotional blackmail. You obviously speaking out of some figments of your imaginations or your malice. I'd watched this video over and over and no where did Oshiomole say to the woman "Go and die!!!"

Oshiomole's words sound more like: "When your husband die, you want to kill people on the road..." The issue seems to be that she put her goods on the road rather than off the road(pedestrian path)

What you are doing is nothing but slandering.

Like seriously, is that you are deaf, heartless or stu.pid?

That woman was clearly dropped there by commuters and was about moving her goods. Listen to it again if you truly did not hear (with an earpiece or headset)

90% of Nigerians abroad,support the government in this act,no doubt,I think is absolute dangerous for hawkers to be risking thr life's trading on the road,on the hand I feel the pain of the helpless lady.

Urine: Most people that commented have gotten this wrong, this rubbish is not about political party it's about the ruling class in general. Whether you're Muslim or Christian, you come from the North and South, Nigerian leaders have dealt with us in a terrible way and if you think this will change by the use of the ballot you're on a long thing.

Hopefully, one day we will decide to forget the differences we have and bravely fight our common enemy; Nigerian Politicians. Until we do this, cases like this will be a normal occurrence.

This is the best comment I have read in this politics section. You are so right.

tpia@:
The lady should not have given him room to insult her.


Instead of continuing to plead, she should just have packed her stuff quietly and left when there was no sign anyone was listening.


This kind of thing is embarassing and we dont need more bad publicity for nigerian women especially now that a lot of other africans and non nigerians are trying to replace them.

Who is this dimwit? Are you serious? She should have packed her stuff quietly when there were soldiers and mobile policemen standing there? She was being cruelly reprimanded and wished death over goods that could have been her sole source of livelihood and all your daft brain can think of is the bad publicity of Nigerian women? You are not mentally healthy.

9jauk: 90% of Nigerians abroad,support the government in this act,no doubt,I think is absolute dangerous for hawkers to be risking thr life's trading on the road,on the hand I feel the pain of the helpless lady.

Please stop posting rubbish!

Did you watch the clip at all? What was the woman hawking? This woman for God's sake alighted at a bus stop with her wares. She is not hawking or selling anything at the road side.

pDude: [size=22pt]Stop selling on the streets and littering the roads with filth!! It is that simple!! The governor is only doing his job. The woman broke the law. Plain and simple. [/size]

so he was also doing his job when he told her to go and die
you such a fool and an ass licker......I feel like punching u in the face

Afam4eva:
Like i said, you're lying. Point to me where majority of kidnappings have resulted in the drivers and security operatives being killed save for few cases. We're talking majority man. These kidnappers that kidnap for ransome are not interested in killing anyone because that will spoil their show.

These are just a few of the most recent cases of kidnap and drivers or security operatives were killed. Like I said most of you are so fixated on the principal target, you don't usually notice the lives lost.

Afam4eva:
Only few states in the US still do the death penalty. I remember a few years back a stadium that was named after former California governor and former Hollywood star, Arnold Schwarzenegger in Austria was rescinded because a death penalty occurred in his state of California. More countries are abolishing it by the day and your dear country is trying to introduce it for crimes such as kidnapping.

There are 103 countries that have death penalty in their books. Highly populated countries India.China.USA. Japan. Brazil all have it as part of their law enforcement.

Sermwell: please I'm not a politician ooo! I was just passing by that morning and couldn't stand what the governor was doing to that poor widow and decided to record it! Must everything be linked to politics? Please stop calling me a politician!...... And nothing justifies the governor asking the widow to go and die! Haba

why do u have to lie that it was u dat recorded dis clip?.i 1st saw it on a PDP documentary criticizing the oshiomhole led govt

The action of the comrade governor is totally disgusting, insensitive and disrespectful to the average hardworking women in Nigeria. This is the situation where the men and women NGOs' in Nigeria must rise up and fight for this woman. If you Listen to the woman and her demonstration(s), it clearing shows that she is not an hawker has claimed. Please watch and listen carefully.

The governor has lost it, and shame on him.

We've probably said worse things than that to even our loved ones....when a man is angry, he can say anything.. The Governor was angry, he couldn't take it anymore.

Oshomole, may your children and your generation be widowed.A woman who pleading to you and you telling her to go and die, goes to show that these men do not know God. Oshomole the curse of widowhood shall fall on your children's children.
Wicked man. I have been one man praising Oshomole and praying he one day become the president of the country, but with this action, an incurable illness will destroy him.This was man welcoming a small lady country from another country to the government house and giving her money.

Indeed, power intoxicates.

payless: That is very bad of the Governor. He needs to apologise.

This is what you get after 14 year rule of PDP.

I haven't cried in a long time, I had tears in my eyes this morning. I was pained seeing that lady. If anyone can find me the crying widow, I have a $500 for her to launch her business again.

and if pdp had helped me and rescued the situation( maybe ASUU strike, unemployment), i'd have been a graduate, working and possibly earn more and possibly offer to give her more than u've done. for those that wanna knw how pdp caused this, this is their reply.

pdp will never find peace. osho fawked up!

omg!



*tears*

This is INCREDULOUS...Wonders will never cease...Oshiomole! You just BROKE MY HEART...How could you?

Even if she was hawking. A good leader should be benevolent. She was on her knees, begging profusely. Worst case scenario, do not talk to her, just go about with the exercise. Those words were just so demeaning. Ha Naija for how long we go continue to stay oppressed by these people?

okeyxyz: OP please stop with this your lies and emotional blackmail. You obviously speaking out of some figments of your imaginations or your malice. I'd watched this video over and over and no where did Oshiomole say to the woman "Go and die!!!"

are you hard of hearing young man? I listened to this video countless times before posting it so don't give me that crap! If you have any problem with your ears, go sort yourself out and stop calling me names!

Please can somebody track this woman down
I want to help.
IT WILL NEVERRRRRRR BE WELL WITH ADAMS OSOHOMOLE!!!! He is a very wicked man!! I now hate him so… Please lets make this video go viral.

3 of the l.nks you posted are not from the SS and SE that i specifically alluded in my previous post. The one about Rebecca Aikhomu could as well have not been a ransome kidnapping as the last newS i heard about the issue, the kidnappers had not contacted the family. That's not even the point, the point is that majority of ransom inspired kidnappings don't end up in deaths save for a few and the law passed by Oshiomole is for for those kidnappers that have killed but for all kidnappers which includes first time kidnappers that have not killed anyone. So, even highlighting people who have been killed in the process of kidnapping does not hold water.

Boss13:

We are not attacking the policy but the attitude of the Governor. Let me give you an example, Fashola introduced LASTMA to control traffic and catch traffic law offenders. Have you seen Fashola going about catching and insulting traffic offenders. The only time I saw him was the case of the colonel, which was so obvious and Fashola too was well behaved.

Guy na we dey d benin and na we no everything wen dey play, we support no workway hawker at all for dis state wether widow or anything, its an embarrassment to c our major road being filled with market block and causing holdup, we non want ham at all.

I just cannot stop crying for this woman.

Why?Man's inhumanity to man.

Who knows if she took a loan,contribution,how hard she toiled to gather the money she used in purchasing those things?

For the blind men claiming she's hawking,who hawks satchet tomatoes,cheese balls,canoe soap,bobo drink all in sealed cartoons in Nigeria

Not one person in the governors entourage could help,that dude was kicking the ctn of cheese balls with his legs.

God,where are you ?

The woman was not selling anything and pleading to this iddiot and he said she should go and die. Oshomole, may the gods send death to your family and your children.Who is sure that it was not Oshomole that killed his wife.

Another silly post . . . . .
