Today marked the 7th anniversary of the inauguration of Adams Aliyu Oshiomole as the governor of Edo State.
To celebrate the event, the governor convened a town hall meeting with the people of the state. The meeting afforded Oshiomole another opportunity to present his administration's score card as well as address key issues affecting his policies of his administration.

The occasion which was held at Urhopkota hall, Benin-city was attended by traditional rulers from across the state, the APC National chairman, civil society groups and other eminent Edo indigenes from all walks of life.

Maybe because the red cap guys are actually Igbo's living there. Why would they copy you guys?

Abeg let person hear word. Igbo culture indeed. Igbo get culture?
Are you talking about the same red beads that the ancient Benin kingdom was trading with the early Europeans when your ancestors were still dwelling in caves, wearing leaves and feeding on one another?

What you called red cap is a beaded crown worn by the Benin crown prince.

Edo people have worn red beads and cap long before you all, so just go sit down somewhere and off yourself.

Imbecîle, it is jobless people like you that will stand under the hot sun to show "undying support" to an oracle like oshiomele.

Isn't it interesting that a plebean schlep like you still regard Oshiomole as an oracle? Oh, your slave master from the House of Igbinedion Thieves forget to instruct you against believing that.

Your rotton tongue is glued to the shameless old thief's decomposing ass. Your type of mental slavery is incurable.

Just look at Lara and look at the Deputy Governor's wife! I think it is time Oshiomhole tells his wife that she is now a married woman and should begin to tie wrappers or wear native clothes especially in official functions.

I would expect a fool like you to have gone through school. Ever heard of metaphor?

Indeed! That's if she understands.

No amount of figurative statements can liberate you from loathsome misery than to drink a glass of bleach. Till then, you will remain a useful idïot to the House of Igbinedion Thieves.
You can never retrieve your afflicted tongue from your shameless thieving slavemaster's decomposing âss until you drink a glass of hypo to save the world of your nauseating idiocy.

seriously, I have never heard of governors celebrating anniversaries in this manner (not that I remember). Edos are just on an entirely different level in Nigeria.


am I missing something?

What manner do you mean exactly? It was a town hall meeting organised to render accounts of his stewardship. Not a carnival.
The royal fathers saw it as opportunity to show him a conspicuous and unambiguous support and appreciation. It was meant to shame the misinformation of the PDP propaganda machines and desperadoes in the state.

Hope you're not getting it wrong

I also saw a picture of them cutting a cake.

Are you saying what I am seeing in broad daylight plus the accompanying reason and explanation given, is misinformation?

btw, where is the young monarch (20 or so years old) who met with Buhari some months ago?

From Oshiomole's area perhaps, I dont see him in the photos.

There's nothing extraordinary about cutting a cake to celebrate an event. Though what we witnessed yesterday was a very important occasion in the life of EDO state. We cut cakes almost everyday.
It was a celebration of seven years of unprecedented infrastructural development in the state.

are you serious?


btw, did previous Edo governors also have celebratory cakes and parties? Note, I'm not saying its a bad thing o, just that it's not something I remember seeing before.

well, Nigeria IS a rich country.

So he still get supporters like this for edo, i tink say e no get supporters for edo again.

The World Bank loaned Edo people through Oshimole US$225 million for "The First Edo State Growth and Employment Support Credit Program"

http://www.worldbank.org/projects/P123353/nigeria-edo-state-first-development-policy-operation?lang=en

But Edo's people are still suffering the World Bank reported that they did not meet the goals that were outlined in 2011 and in fact were given an extension to try an get some progress but still this thief did nothing!

That money was for flooding
That money was for the youth to stop human trafficking
That money was not for him to get married and globe trot around with Buhari.

Edo people now you know why we are shouting for Biafra. After Oshimole another one will come like him.

Are you a Nigerian? You mean you've not heard of presidents, governors, et al celebrating their anniversaries in office?
What actually is the essence of the so-called democracy day?

This one was even the most modest of them all.

Don't mind those errand stooges of disgruntled politicians spreading falsehood on Nairaland.

Let me see how those profligate thieves would return and rule Edo again. Oshiomhole is no saint but he is incomparably better than the crooks who came before him.

What do you know about World Bank conditions for infrastructural credit, and meeting stated goals? You claimed EDO state did not meet the goal, yet it was qualified for a second instalment of WB loan which was approved by the Nigerian senate earlier this year (which was actually based on the condition of fulfilling the goals of the first instalment) - the only state aside Lagos which met such standards of financial prudence and accountability.

Do you think the World Bank is run by idïots like GEJ and Ochendo your only role models and "shining lights" of biafraudland?

Just how many Biafra villages are missing their idïots? I have lost count!
Your rants lack substance. Hence will not be taken seriously.
