…Says country on life support


Benue State Governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom has declared that all was not well with the country, stressing that those who believe in the contrary were simply deceiving themselves.

Dr. Ortom, who spoke while paying a condolence visit to the family members of the late Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, said Nigeria is on life support.

The governor extolled the virtues of the late consummate writer and technocrat in standing up for justice and truth.

According to him, “Dr Mailafia was fearless and he stood on the side of the truth. As the Bible says, ‘You should know the truth and the truth shall set you free.’ Our brother stood for truth and justice.

“Anyone saying that all is well in Nigeria is just deceiving himself. Nigeria is on life support. Nigerians have never been divided as it is today.

“Let everyone know that Nigeria is greater than any person. Nigeria is greater than all of us. We must team up and work. We must combine our faith in Nigeria with work in order to salvage our nation from those who seek to destroy it. Refusing to combine our faith with work is akin to pumping a punctured tyre.”

He stressed further that, “We are here to pay our respects to Dr. Mailafia and console the family. We appreciate God for giving us Mailafia and for all he did in his life time.

“Dr Mailafia lived a worthy life, and we are happy the Almighty God spared his life to enable him achieved what he was able to.

“The actions and memories he left behind shall ever remain alive. We the living shall forever continue to cherish his principles and the indefatigable spirit he demonstrated throughout his life time,”

Governor Ortom has bad news for those celebrating the death of the former CBN Deputy Governor: “Those who are celebrating his death are lying. What Dr Mailafia did in life will continue to germinate and bear fruits for many years to come. We appreciate him and thank God for his.

“I stand with Dr Mailafia even in his death. I appreciate his principles, and though dead, we shall continue with the struggle.

“I encourage our mother to be strong. When our time has come, there is nothing on earth that can stop it. Be strong in the Lord and know that “all things worketh together for good for those that are called by God,” Ortom consoled the bereaved family.

Welcoming Ortom to the Mailafia’s’ home, the National President of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), Dr Pogu Bitrus, appreciated the governor for finding time out of his busy schedules to pay a condolence visit to the family Dr Mailafia who was one of Nigeria’s distinguished elder statesman and prominent son of the Middle Belt Region.

Members of the bereaved family who received the governor included the widow, Mrs Margaret Mailafia and some of the sibling of the former CBN Deputy Governor. They included Dr. Luka Mailafia; Professor Samuel Mailafia and Barr Abel Mailafia.

I was wondering if he was one of the northern governors who recently issued a statement regarding power shift.

Nigeria is dead and buried. The earlier we tell ourselves the truth the better

The earlier this country separate, the faster to sanity of every individual, Take a look at new york protest, take a look at south east take a look at Percentage of oil income being given to south south, take a look on strategy holds by them in south west, sanity needs to be restored for international recognition

Separate this contraption

Most of this miscreants fill nairaland to spread nothing but their induced hatred for the south
Yet call other people children of hate whereas they are the confirm and biological, hereditary children of hate

All I want is Edo Nation

That's because u guys have been greedy and wasn't giving Nigeria any treatment for the past 61years.

Now malaria don catch Nigeria

It's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that the country is not well

Lol

Will this country ever get well again?
Unfortunately the politicians are not working towards a better country, the are working towards their selfish purpose, the country can burn all they care.

One Nigeria is a scam. Know this know peace

Anyone saying otherwise, needs brain evaluation

Okay o

That country is terminally ill.

You politicians are not well too, bunch of liars and thieves. You brought us where we are.

Says a governor that owes salary.
Everything begins with you. If you want to see change, be the change.
I laugh at people who say the government is terrible, as though individuals do not make up the government. The average Nigerian is a problem to themselves. Go to church, mosque, offices both private and public and see how they operate.
According to Neville Goddard, the kind of leader a nation gets, is the reflection of the people they are. Nations are made up of individuals.
The average Nigerian comes to steal, kill and destroy. So if the nation isn't well, it's a collective effort.
Truth hurts. But you can't take away the truth if you really want change.

Of course Nigeria is not well. That is visible to even the blind and audible to the deaf.

Waiting for mannabbqgrillz to come and defend his darling daddy

But thats the truth, we might be of good cheer but deep within us we all know that the truth about the country.

There's no point deceiving ourselves.

Always blaming everybody but yourself. Most useless governor ever. If u can't solve people's problems then why did u contest for office Nonsense

Foolish idiot who is worse than those he criticizes. This hypocrite is owing salaries running in several months and pensions going into years. This hypocrite was in Kaduna on Monday nodding his head when the parasite Northern Governors' Forum was resisting power shift to the South.
This clueless Governor has been grandstanding all the while to cover his poor governance in his State.
These middle belters have been willing tools which the core Northerners have been using to enslave the nation. 2023 elections will not be different because of their jaundiced thinking and the enslavement mentality inborn in them.
Pls don't take this rabble-rouser and perpetual hypocrite serious; he's not different from the Northern co-leaches !!!

EdoRabbit:

lol... Oba no go support this ur talk

All of you Governors Are Failures Too.

Oga, even yourself you're not well.

No single project, salaries of pensioners and workers have not been paid for several months. The state government has not employed one single person for years now. Benue is at it worst. Yet you always want to be seen as a good person. Talkative governor with nothing to show. Oga, show your workings.

But that vulture griller thinks otherwise

Let’s continue to deceive ourselves...

A country like Nigeria, that forced people together by lies and deceit will never know peace or progress.

Where is the PEACE and UNITY?

By force by fire FAKE UNITY

But lie Muhammed say All is well with that Zoo na?

Nigeria wey get HIV/Aids plus Covid19 sprinkled with small runny stomach

God bless you. This is what I have always told ppl, Nigerians are very anyhow, demonic, confused, backward in mind souls... meehhnn... I don't even know how I ended up here at all.
