Madam, I'm not through with the list. check again and you would see most of the names you mentioned as part of my list.

Tony Kabaka? The meaning of influential in the dictionary will help me answer your question.

Cheers!

Bishop Olubunmi Okojie just like Dele Momodu is like a lost Edo child who doesn't know if he is from Edo State or not. They Both prefer been referred to as south westerners.

For Bishop Ekpu, he is known only by 0.1% of Edolites. So he is not worth been on my list.

I have replied your mail.

Nah madam, been an apc member or apologist has nothing to do with my list, if not you wouldn't have seen names like Igbinedion, Aneni, Ikimi, etc.

And mind you, my list isn't about the most influential "good people" from Edo State. Its important and necessary I clarify this because I know the normal thinking of edolites that 'Bob izua and kabaka' are bad men is your singular reason of faulting them been on my list, I might be wrong though.

Lost edo child? You got bad mouth bro. But you shouldn't really be hard on the Cardinal. It's always hard for Catholic Bishops to still maintain that bond with their place of origin once they are made Bishops somewhere else. His eminence is not alone in this. Archbishop Kaigama of Jos and Onaiyekan of Abuja also have same issue.
Never knew Dele Momodu is an Edo guy. Maybe he doesn't know too

I understand your point of view bro, but I feel that shouldn't be a excuse.

For Dele Momodu, his own is even worst.

God would punish him when he dare come out in future to seek for an elected office in Edo State. hehehe

His father is from Edo north and his mum from osun state.

He is of no importance to Edo State, so he can claim even a Somalian and gives his children Eritean names. Nobody Cares.
