An Open Letter To Governor Oshiomhole by nairaarea: 9:37pm On Nov 28, 2013
My dear Comrade Governor, we do appreciate your sincere attempts at keeping Edo State clean. But sometimes, a little mercy works more than brute force. You told a poor widow to "go and die, because she flouted your rules against hawking on the road? If not that I watched that video, I would not have believed it...

She begged and begged and begged... Don't forget, we all are at God's mercy.

Please temper justice with mercy in exercising your duties. Please...

May God assist you in your daily discharge of this onerous responsibility. Amen

Rev. Fr. Kevin Anetor.

Widow or no widow.
The instructions/rules/ law was simple enough.
Why can't Nigerians obey simple instructions?
Why do we behave like animal?

From overloaded lorries,
To drunk unlicensed driver,
To roadside traders encroaching on the highway ,
Siren blaring bigman aka stupid politicians.

The next minute ,they will start complaining about bad government disregarding the fact that the government is mirroring our own personal bad behaviour.

Poverty is not an excuse.
Neither should the law develop eyes because she is a WIDOW.

The government is doing the job it was elected to do and our
Uncivilised people are talking about MERCY .
Yes ,the language was bad
But he had to personally set an example.

MY TAKE IS THAT NIGERIANS ARE SO ISED TO LAWLESSNES THAT IT HAS BECOME THE BEW NORMAL.

NOW FOR THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE WESTERN REGION AND THE MIDWEST,
WIDOW OR NO WIDOW,
THIS WOMAN HAVE BEEN CHARGED TO COURT ,HEAVILY FINED AND HER GOODS SIEZED .
WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME TO ENFORCE THE LAW?

Heartless?
No,
I am a lover of law and order and,
There is an economic side to this argument.
What about the widow who borrowed money from loan sharks to rent a shop at a ridiculous interest rate,pays taxes and is being undercut ?
People selling illegally by the roadside are daily undercutting those inside the market and car parks.
While those in the market pay daily taxes used to build roads ,bridges etc,
Those highway hustlers just get a free lunch.
A society without enforced rules and laws will simply whither and die.
The old Wild West around Texas had vengeance laws back in the days.
You kill my father , I kill you full stop.
The laws may look barbaric now but they were good enough to enforce order.
The choice of words by the governor was bad.
All agreed .
But his action was right on the dough .
THE LAW SIMPLY HAS TO BE BLIND.
you cannot take your jagbanjatise to the middle of Times Square and trlalsfagar square and start frying akara.
MY BET IS YOUR BUTTS WILL BE FRYING THAT AKARA IN LONG ISLAND PRISON BEFORE THE END OF THE NIGHT.

The lack of law and order is responsible for the present state of the country.
People pick and chose which laws to obey and which laws to break.
What is the difference between this woman and igbinedion.
If you are confortable with this civil crime ,then you are confortable with more serious crimes.
This is the very reason why igbinedion walked away with a slap on the wrist and ,
You are advocating the same for this woman.
You know the reason why nigeria is shitas?

How else can she be right, if you followed the story, she alighted from a bus with her wares, which where inside the cartons as we saw (hawkers don`t carry their wares in cartons, they are displayed), crossed over a median of the road under construction and Oshiomhole accosted her. She was not hawking.

Many people who are breaking the law are even in his government ( video of the LGA chairman who rigged election ) and is being applauded as a wise man.

The woman broke the law no doubt, an example needs to be set and we need a scape goat. Go and DIE isn't part of the enforcement of the law. its a foul language and HE has to apologise to her and her family.

If one who is supposed to defend the lives and properties of the citizens is arresting them to GO AND DIE, then I fear. Or has hawking become a CAPITAL OFFENCE?

If she hawks to feed d family, what will she now do to bail herself?

My comrade Governor, you are a good man, I understand that pressure can make one to misbehave, that's what makes us humans, please temper justice with mercy. God bless you sir.

@bloggernaija, I total agree with all your points. A society without laws and orders cannot survive. Come to Lagos and you ll understand me better.

However the only point where we disagree is the Governor's choice of words which portrait him as a sadist! This is a Governor, a role model, and a leader for God's sake!
For the sake of posterity, he should make a public speech concerning this matter ASAP and apologize. This is a very lethal weapon his many enemies will use against him. Even if he does owe the widow an apology(The Widow is guilty here), he owe the people one.
(Advise for the Governor)Be careful with your words, people will mistake it for your action!

Some of you are just plain silly! Watch the video again and tell me what she was selling by the roadside? All I saw were goods that were still packaged. I don't think she was trading anything there. I know the place ( mission rd) very well and there's construction of road there with soldiers around to guard the white men. Not only did he say, ' you are a widow, go and die!' but he also said, ' your husband is the type that kill people on the road'. He said the latter when the woman told him that her late husband was a policeman and he just died recently. The woman was not selling on the road. Fact. So what was her crime?

I'm sure the man died on duty and the family were not compensated. May God not let evil visit those of you supporting adams before you admit that he was very wrong. If you live in Benin, you will know that a lot of rubbish are just happening. I just don't have the strength to type
