Now that the video went viral, he apologized and rewarded the widow. What else do you want him to do ? What's the point looking behind when the governor himself realised his mistake and own up to it ? That is whom I call a real man !

coogar:

you are correct......
anyone complaining after this gesture is a hypocrite with a political agenda. it takes a lot for a governor to apologise to a petty trader. the woman herself accepted the apology - the matter was between them & not with the noisemakers here.

oshiomole has done the needful - case closed!

berem:
Are you from Edo state, NO!

Is the money not meant for Edo people? Yes it is!
Is she an Edo woman,yes she is!

Does she pay taxes? Yes she does!

Why are you drinking water for another person's thirst?

OMAJE4: If he actually apologised to her personally then thats commendable but Oshiomhole must stop justifying his action by claiming the widow indulged in street trading, She didnt. It doesnt matter if she's been made to admit doing some kind of wrong to trigger the Governors wrath but its evident She wasnt trading but only waiting for a bus to pick her wares and her supposed crime was keeping her goods at the side of the road which clearly isnt street trading.
Genuine repentance can only come when we admit our mistakes wholeheartedly and seek forgiveness. Someone please tell that to Osho, the woman may be happy and better off today but we still know there's an arrogant and unrepentant tyrant in Edo state govt house.

Ngokafor: ...nice gesture from Mr uncouth Governor himself Oshiomole. He was smart enough to attempt this playing to the gallery for selfish political reasons,all thanks to technology that exposed him.
..anyway,as much as we now know he is a sadist,i guess he will learn to keep his emotions in check next time.

Feraz: Speaking from both sides of your mouth right? Keep it up. Had it been a PDP governor, we won't hear the last of this from you. You were one of the people shouting Peter Obi is wasting Anambra's money despite the state not being your state of origin. Hypocrisy at its best...

If Oshiomhole hadn't been caught on camera and the video viral on social media, would he have done this? Wise move. Let's see what PDP will say about this...

plaindealer: Side note:::


The governor and the people of Nigeria dodge a very important bullet and the bullet = The woman in question is not IGBO.


Thank God Almighty for denying us that potentially dangerous, tribal, ethnic, political tsunami and calamity.


Amen..

Symphony007: This is getting rather ridiculous. Giving government money to a woman because you insulted her. What about the other thousands of widows in edo state who you did'nt tell to go and die. Development does'nt come to them until they are insulted. Nigeria is a really disturbed nation. 2 million for one woman. This money would have gone a long way to help a couple of people. Rather you choose to spend it on one woman for political and social correctness.

Feraz: Whoever mentioned tribe here? Trying to start up something eh?

MyJoe:
Unfortunately, Nigeria is not a place where people actually think. So this obvious point is lost on everyone. Sad. This governor has robbed tax payers of N2m to pay for this foolishness and we have to clap for that!

plaindealer:


We are still healing from the Lagos relocation abi deportation fiasco and we learn and pray from experience..

Reptyle:

Errrr...and you know this because he consulted you about the "real reason" he offered the apology right?

Feraz: Even though we know the obvious, you better clap oh or you'll be labelled 'anti-progressive'
I understand but try not to create issue when there is none before the attack dogs are unleashed....

The only issue here is you losing sleep over what I said.

If you feel like starting your tribal wars, go ahead, but don't make me your excuse or even include me or my post. Take responsibility for your own actions and quit hanging on other people's irrelevant comments.

Please, find something better to do with your time and ignore me ASAP...
