Psychedelia: What is this? Some poor attempt at countering the uppercuts from his political enemies?

So, because PDP don give money to the same widow he'd publicly told off in such a barbaric way, na dis PR stitch job im wan do?

From the words of my grandfather, "The best gift offered with the wrong intention, always proves the most dangerous".

I guess this money is meant to cover for her funeral, after she has "gone and died".

Ironically nobody knws about ur grandfather, d few ppl dat met him nva took him as a wiseman including u! Carry go osho baba!

Re: Oshiomhole Donates N2m To 'Go And Die' Widow by exalt2009: 5:55am On Dec 03, 2013
Our action will speak for us in every area of our life...He made mistake and now he has correct it...If everyone of us could just emulate this can of life style, the world would be at peace...Blessing in disguise.....Our God has the final saying of our Life not man...
The Governor was just a Tool in the hand of God...Do you want to tell me that the woman has not be abuse before? No!!!!
God want to glorify himself in the life of the woman and to let her know that He is call..ALMIGHTY God....I AM THY AM
Example: Lazarus in the Bible, Jesus was told that he's friend was sick by lazarus sister but Jesus knew it all but he told the lazarus sister to go and he will come....If Jesus should go with lazarus sister@ that minutes, the glory of God will not have be known today about lazarus but For it to come to pass and for the glory of God to be know, Lazarus need to die and Jesus christ was there to bring him back from the Death...That is Wonderful....
So let go back to the woman go and die ; now go and enjoy and Bless...
Our God will never forget us....thanks





berem: Oshio baba! You too much o!

"Go and Die" is now a blessing in disguise. It is no longer "Go and Die" but "Go and enjoy"

The lord is good! grin grin

Good move from one of my best governors Oshiomhole. This was definitely the right thing to do. Evil minded individuals would still talk shit though. Thumbs up Oshio baba!

He wouldn't have done this if the video did not leak but he he has asked for forgiveness, so he should be forgiven. What he said was wrong but the woman, even though she is a widow, is not above the law. However, death is not a commensurate punishment for what she did. Now, she is no more dieing; she is dinning.

Edo State Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole

Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo on Monday donated two million naira to a widow he allegedly insulted while on an inspection tour of the state.

The widow, Mrs Joy Ifije, who was invited to the Edo Government House by the governor, was also offered automatic employment by Oshiomhole.

Oshiomhole had invited the widow to personally apologise to her over his uncomplimentary remark that had generated controversies in the conventional and social media in the last few weeks.

‘’ Let me apologise to you for the way I spoke to you, I am very sorry about the statement.

“I have also realised that even in anger, one could still achieve the same result that he set out to without provocative outburst.

‘’ I apologise from the bottom of my heart, but sometimes you get angry when people compromise your efforts.’’

He said that government was trying to change the face of the state capital by doing its best to make the city beautiful.

The governor said that it was frustrating and bad for some people to truncate government efforts.

He stressed that trading on the road and walk ways could hinder free flow of traffic as well as cause accidents.

Oshiomhole, therefore, appeal to the widow to join in the campaign against road and walkways trading.

The governor said that exposing consumables to unhygienic sanitary conditions could also cause ”disease and pose dangerous health hazards to humans”.

Oshiomhole, who also announced the automatic employment to the widow, said that the employment would help her ease the burden of widowhood and give her children good and proper education.

He further assured the widow that his family would assist the widow’s second child in furthering his education, while also appealing to her to resist the temptation of law breaking.

The widow had earlier apologized to the governor for her action, saying ‘’ I know I was wrong, that was why I quickly knelt down to beg when I realized I was face to face with the Governor’’.

She promised to work with the state government in its campaign against street trading and obstruction.

She also promised to make judicious use of the money donated to her by the governor.

ilugunboy:

Tell me you've never used wrong words in your life in moment of anger.....it's very convenient to give advice from your position.

I vehemently condemned his choice of words on the woman when the news broke....but now he has done what a real man do: sincere apology...

I don't think the issue can affect him now negatively ...but positively.

PDP failed in the attempt to latch onto it.....

you'll have to ask PDP that in the next election.

This is your own internet assumptions and not credible facts because he did not use state funds, not at least till you present credible facts to hang your assumptions on.

No, it's not my own internet assumptions. It is yours. You wrote this:
plaindealer:
And what's wrong with spending state resources on your subjects to better their lives? Abi the woman is from MARS and not Edo state?

That^^^ is what I responded to in that post of mine. I gave you an analogy which you rather than respond to went into redemption like a Sunday school teacher.

As the saying goes, "Conscience is an open wound, only truth can heal", Osho Baba has healed his conscience in a grand style which is what we want from our leaders. I hail him for his humility.

I also thank Nigerians who pointed out his wrong to him like Prophet Nathan to King David in the Bible.

May your days be long, Osho Baba. Keep it up and may the works of your leadership be blessed.

I can see prayer points popping up as 'May God let you meet your Go and die moment by fire in Jesus name'

It is said that every disappointment is a blessing. God has turned the "GO & DIE" widow's tears to joy.
