Is President Jonathan implying that Edo Youths are Witches??? by Nobody: 6:07pm On Feb 04, 2015
There's been much talk (mostly in jest of course) about the preponderance of witchcraft in Edo state (which as an Edo guy,i know to be mostly false, or at best, gross exaggerations) and how witches fly in broad daylight in Benin.

Our President has apparently heard such stories, and seemingly got caught up in the 'flying fervour' during his campaign rally in Benin City today, where he talked about his Government's plans to encourage sporting activities, including Flying, among youths. grin

In his own words: "If you want to play football, you'll play football. If you want to run, you will run; if you want to Fly, you will fly"...abeg, when did flying become a sport? grin

Or what kind of 'Flying' was Mr President talking about?

I was surprised when he started talking in pidgin, like Edo people don't understand proper English.

I wonder if he spoke Yoruba when he went to Ibadan...cos a lot of people there don't even understand pidgin grin
