He has done more than Lucky and Oshiomole combined. His only sin is that he isn't opening the State coffers for them lazy career politicians to share from every month while their thugs run amok in a free for all playing revenue collection roles and turning billionaires overnight at the back of the state's revenue. Foolish people. I see so many kids and Stockholm syndrome infected youths here defending their very oppressors. Just ask them one seemingly easy and simple question of " what did Obaseki do wrong"? Only then will you understand why Nigeria is in the state that it is. Instead of them to move their lazy arses out into the farmlands all over Edo this planting season, they will seat in one plàce and be waiting for government handouts. Idiotic fellows. I haven't being to Benin in a while, but the last time I was there, most of what is written up there stares you right in the face with no need for anyone to interpret them to you. |
