BENIN CITY – GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole
of Edo state weekend warned that Nigerians
may revolt against leaders sooner than later, if
government continues to pay lip service to the
issue of corruption.
While expressing shock that nobody has been
jailed as a result of corrupt practices despite
the persistent alarm from the Federal
Government about oil theft and several other
corrupt practices, he warned that Nigerians are
tired of excuses and may decide to take their
destinies in their own hands.
Oshiomhole
The Governor who was the Guest lecturer at
the 2013 convocation ceremony of Benson
Idahosa University Benin City, spoke at a
lecture entitled: “ Education and National
Development”.
Represented by the Secretary to Edo State
Government, Professor Julius Ihonvbere,
Oshiomhole noted that Nigerians spend over
N80 billion annually on medical tourism and
treatment overseas “just as we put our kids in
foreign and African universities and this is with
over N2 trillion lost to the fuel subsidy cartel,
not to mention how much is lost annually to
oil thieves”.
According to him, “the list of imperfections,
failures, problems and contradictions can go
on and on. The important issue today is how
we can relate these issues to the importance
of education and therefore national
development. Fleetingly, about people, it is, in
the first instance, about cars, skyscrapers,
money in the bank, huge bureaucracies and
those things that may be symptoms of growth
rather than development.
“Our idea of development revolves round
interest and exchange rates, import-export
ratios, GNP per capita, even GDP and foreign
reserves. These may show that growth and
maybe accumulation are occurring; they do
not show that development that is people-
focused, people-based and people-driven is
occurring”.
He further stressed that “major companies like
Unilever and Dunlop are closing down, setting
up shop in Ghana and throwing thousands of
families into unemployment, hunger and social
pressures. I believe we should just leave the
issue of power for another day after we fully
understand what the GENCOS, DISCOS,and
TRANCOS are doing.
“Until leadership in Nigeria changes from the
arrogance of power, perpetual infighting,
accommodating corruption and impunity and
finding excuses for failure to meet popular
expectations, I am afraid, most of our
educational institutions, private and public,
would never meet world standards.
“With an unstable, non-hegemonic and
unreliable state, frequent policy changes, an
economy in crisis, and leaders that use power
and public funds for personal aggrandizement;
the university must prepare to engage the
negative forces in a changing global order and
a reforming Nigeria.
“When education takes citizens in the opposite
direction of these values then it becomes
dangerous to societal development. Infact, an
educational system that produces election
riggers, intimidators, looters of the treasury,
bad drivers, disregard for communal values,
lazy public servants, kidnappers, inefficient
and ineffective workers, political opportunists,
thugs, and bad politicians that visit pain on
the people and contaminate and undermine
institutions of society cannot be regarded as
positive education” he stated.

This is coming from a criminalized mor0n who told a widow to go and die. Yes, we will revolt and kill each other while you thieves fly out in private jets with your families.

Season of snipers......not a bad shot tho!

Starting from him

and Amaechi had sed his own..

poor nigerians,

They are only hitting up the polity to achieve their criminal objectives,yesterday it was Ameachi askking the people to stone their rulers; today it is Osho indirectly calling for revolution...GEJ all the way to 2019.

that clueless man must think he is talking to fools. i can see majority of people are no longer on hes side anymore. he lost when he cannot conduct a free and fare local government election. effect i expect the pdp to ring the presidential election because for now i have not see any sincere opposition. they are thieves. oshiomole may have perform well. but it cannot conduct an election free and fare. the tape is on facebook and the police have not made any arest. it very easy to build and cave a name. but difficult to mentain a name

we need to acquire weapons... #revolvers #aks... we could start by raiding all the police stations in the country.. would be a coordinated shiit.. who's with me?

Baba We Nigs we start from u when u told a widow go n die we dnt revolt against u

fast guy 10: Baba We Nigs we start from u when u told a widow go n die we dnt revolt against u

But he has corrected it and begged for forgiveness why can't Jonathan correct his than feel bigger than the masses.

If Oshio leads the revolt with his kids, i will gladly join him

This is part of the coordinated attack to bring down GEJ,harass and intimidate him from contesting the 2015 election...However Osho Baba will always at the last minute go with GEJ.But as to the Revolution...we need to start from Edo state executhieves

"You don't expect Jonathan to lick your Bottom. You must be a wicked man to have sent nearly 10 names to Jonathan requesting they all be made ministers. When you were president, did Shagari, Abdulsalami, IBB, Shonekan or Buhari send list of Ministers that must be appointed? "You wanted to appoint all PDP Excos all by yourself and when party members and the President objected, you started writing baseless letters. Your political influence has dwindled to nearly zero and I'l advise you proceed straight into retirement and leave Nigeria to the younger generation to govern". Obasanjo, you are a frustrated man, I know that. You are scared the little man from a small village in Bayelsa will leave a legacy that will overshadow your fruitless 8-years in office. "An Hausa proverb says, "a woman that has no child, wouldn't mind the whole world dying all at once, cos she stands to lose nothing". Most allegations of corruption levelled against Jonathan's government in the last 11 months are mere fabrications, as they are well orchestrated by the same people and group". How could Nigeria lose funds bigger than the amount she earns as revenue? Something doesn't add up. You cannot lose what you do not have. Obasanjo should leave Jonathan alone, leadership is turn by turn. The rail Obasanjo could not manage, Jonathan fixed the bulk in just few months. The power plants Obasanjo abandoned, wasting over $18billion in the process, Jonathan has fixed and linked them with gas for operations. The roads and airports are all being improved. Agriculture is booming again after over 45 years of neglect. Obasanjo, Allah is bigger than you. Leave Jonathan alone. You failed in your 8 years tenure, let this man work.

EDITED.

why are you obsessed with Jonathan? Haba. You can't even write anything without calling Jonathan, jona fck ur wife?

[b]We have a lot of fools on this forum,do oshiomole or Amechi need to tell us that we are foolish by condoning all this nonsense from our so called leaders?How can our leaders exploit us with so much impunity and we keep our fingers crossed.There is no reasonable suggestions that makes sense to most fools on this forum, once it's from an opposition they say it's an attempt to discredit GEJ,fools,hypocrites that's what you are if you continue to reason as such.Just because our past leaders didn't get things right doesnt mean our present or future leaders should follow thesame trend.We have to start thinking collectively on how to achieve the Nigeria of our dream where justice is equal to all no matter how highly placed you are,a country where we forget any form of tribal, religious and political differences and see ourselves first of all as a human being without segregation.Our future is in our hands and wr can change our destiny for good if we so desire.Whatever our governors, senators, representatives, etc are not doing right,let us speak together with one voice and condemn them.United we rise but divided we fall,let us all work together collectively for our future and the future of our generations' yet unborn.God bless Nigeria[/b]

And this is coming from a self-acclaimed Billionaire!

The true personality of the governor was seen in the go and die saga. PDP offer a widow a meager sum of 250k and a APC governor offered 2Million to redeem his image. Where did the money come from, no vacancy in Edo state but the widow got a job. No harm against the widow but Osho baba got more questions to answer than all these saintly actions. Nigeria needs new crop of leaders and not the recycled old men.

Yes, as usual, attack the messenger and completely ignore the message. Tell your boss to do something or pretend to be doing something about corruption in the country which stinks to high heaven!!

So far, if he is not seen setting up parallel investigative panels infused with muppets to rubbish whatever is the outcome of their "investigation", he is busy reversing convictions and whatever little gains were made in the past in the fight against corruption.

You guys are the real enemies of the president, cheering him on as he takes giant strides towards golgotha!!

egypt has revoluted 3 times in the past 6 years and ousted the president of those regime.
their govt are no where corrupt as ours.instead of unifying our voice for a cause,it is gej this,Apc that we go dey here.

I guess the wrongs committed by GEJ are figment of your deluded imagination.The moronic Adams Oshiomhole was caught on the the video tape denigrating the widowhood.

..look at him touting 'leaders' like he is not a leader who has being enriching himself illegally!!...i am sure by 'leaders' he means those in Aso-Rock alone...msteww!
...its a pattern now,first it was Amaechi complaining of not being stoned for stealing,now it's the 'go and die' Governor himself,i expect Okorocha and co to follow suit in this reigning show of shame...
.....same people that will roll out tanks at slightest hint of unrest in their respective states and accuse PDP of trying to destabilise their states..hypocrites!!!

phantonce: egypt has revoluted 3 times in the past 6 years and ousted the president of those regime.

Are you a child? Nigeria will never have revolution. An attempt was made in January, 1966 and it was turned into tribal thing hence the civil war.

deeptesting: They are only hitting up the polity to achieve their criminal objectives,yesterday it was Ameachi askking the people to stone their rulers; today it is Osho indirectly calling for revolution...GEJ all the way to 2019.

Which polity are they hitting heating up? Are they not saying the truth? You people don't have the fear of God in you. IF THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE REMAINS THE VOICE OF GOD THEN THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE IF JONATHAN WILL STAY TILL 2019 OR NOT

Oga relax Ameachi and Osho are not in position to tell us what we already know;if you understand politics you will know that they are miscreants who are only carrying out some stunts to win cheap political goals. When we as a people are ready nobody will tell us..
