"I came from a poor family background.I don't hide it. I say it everywhere. I was not even born with any spoon. We have to go into the forest to get the wood to make the wooden spoon. But I struggled to get to where I am today. I understand the pains of poverty. We just need to be careful so that the poor don't create more problems for other poor people. I regretted saying those words(go and die) to the lady. My political opponents are now making big story out of that incident..." -Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Edo State Governor. |

What I want to see is Adams on his knees apologising to the woman and there shouldn't be a public show about it. 1 Like |

Obiagelli: What I want to see is Adams on his knees apologising to the woman and there shouldn't be a public show about it. Don't ever repeat that. You are talking to a man and a governor too. Though no source to this piece but if this is actually true then it should be enough. |

eyenCalabar:A man in African setting I understand but does being a governor make him better or greater than everyone else? This is our problem as nigerians, this guys are elected to serve us not the other way round. |

He should compensate the woman and concentrate now on the plight of widows in Edo state to build back his reputation. Nigerians have forgiven spirit.  1 Like |

Go and open shop for the woman and replace her goods. However, don't use state funds for this. Else na crocodile tears she dey shed. |

The story is 100% true. One thing that baffles me is when a normal citizen commits crime or say something bad he should be crucified or dealt with but if a Governor does same he should be left alone, nobody should talk. Hmm, now I know why Nigeria is going backward. The nation's 30years ago is better than today, that's a nation of backwardness. |

Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks. There's no gain saying that Oshiomole's utterance was a reflection of a side of him that a lot of people don't know about. When angry, he can go overboard. Even his countenance towards the widow was appalling and distasteful. He has apologized quite alright but his action should not be allowed to fade away. In other climes, people resign for making such unguarded statements. |

Why hasn't GEJ resigned for telling Nigerians he doesn't give a damn? Ok, then! 1 Like |

That should serve a deterrent to unguarded statements in official capacity. |

kingoflag: Sure...I'm not saying he should resign. I'm just saying what's obtained in an ideal setting. And pls, when we mention that a governor is performing, we shouldn't be myopic to think that being a performing governor involves fixing the roads, hospitals, schools etc. A very important component is the morality and social responsibility of these governors. A governor who goes around sprouting such comments definitely has a minus. |

Ï appreciate your zeal to taking this unguarded statement to the next level. It reminds me of the irresponsible and sectionally acceptable disgusting chorus "Go back to your villages" which has divided the country more on regional persuasion. Obiagelli: 1 Like |

kingoflag: Sure...Can you bet your johnthomas that Oshiomhole is working? Have you been to Benin? He's just an average governor overhyped no thanks to the docility of previous administrations in Edo state. |

In other climes, people resign for making such unguarded statements. It reminded me of the military administrators that we had in the past. The ones that try to show that they are "action men" (whipping civil servants who turn up late for work, shaving people's hair, etc Like the Madaki's, Rasaki and Adisa's of this world). That kind of thing has no place in a democracy. It's not the first time that he's doing it. I read that there was a debate about whether he should sign the "kidnapping bill". He was still considering the bill when the report about the abduction of Ona Ekhomu and the death of some people at the hands of kidnappers got to him. It is reported that he immediately signed the bill after receiving the report. Such decisions should not be based on emotions. He really needs to find a way to control his temper. 2 Likes |

Go back to your villages. Which could be in ilesha, kanji, arugungun. I see no offence here except you prefer to be in jail. 1 Like |
