AlabiJustise: You sound confident but I doubt you are correct. He seems to have some support.
The issue here is not confidence, there's no way OSHOMHOILE will preside over APC as a national chairman and cede Edo state to Oppostion. They will deploy everything at their disposal to win Edo state(APC).
bitterpill: If only these politicians could pity the country and put just 5% of these politics efforts into governance to make the country better
Are they suppose to pity the country or the citizens should demand for good governance? Starting from voting credible leaders and not voting base by sentiment and selling their vote.
AkhereOkaka: He was on channels television programme politics today With Seun some time late last year or early this year. Search on YouTube you will find the it
oyeb15: I see Obaseki as a political novice. He ought to have decamped to PDP and muster support from grassroot.Align with Tambuwal and Wike together with d faction of APC that's with him. There are some fight you lose as a member of a family but will win if you are not in that family. His fall is imminent. The Oshiomole camp will win Edo even if they will leave Ondo for d Fayemi Camp.
My thought, was thinking he will toll that part since he's in control of the state house of Assembly
martineverest: what if obaseki wins this direct primaries??......does Oshiomhole know that Edo APC is behind obaseki?
You can take this to the bank, Obaseki cannot win the Gubernitorial ticket if direct primary is conducted, even his own ward Oredo ward 2 Benin City. The only way to ease him out is through direct primary, cause he has stepped on a lot of toes. If he feels he's a popular candidate let him go to another party after loosing the primary to text his popularity.
MIND YOU OSHOMHOILE WILL NOT ALLOW HIS STATE GO TO OPPOSITION AS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF APC, THEY WILL DEPLOY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE INCLUDING FEDERAL MIGHT TO ACHIEVE IT. OBASEKI IS GONE, BUT I LOVE IS BRAVERY AND COURAGE THOUGH HE WAS ILL ADVICE.
bolaayenimo: Indirect primary everybody will vote and counted immediately. Direct they will just declare fake results anyhow like they did In Ogun and Imo
You're right, in the party adopt direct primary Obaseki is gone, even before the primary
ArmaniUhuru: Now there are two factions in Apc. The both factions will conduct their primaries and present their candidates. Then the fight will continue until the court and inec will strike them off the ballot. Easy ride for PDP. Zamfara and Rivers comes to mind.
Las Las PDP will take whole south south.
That's why NEC of APC opted for direct primary, with a view not to allow what happened in Rivers and Zamfara to happened in Edo. Cause there's faction in Edo
Judeerons32: For those shouting Indirect in Edo. The truth is the nwc could not have picked any other mode except direct. There are 2 factions in edo with court cases. Indirect means the nwc will recognize one. And if the court says otherwise the whole process is nullified. But with direct the candidate of the party is immune to the various faction Court cases. That was the mistake Apc made in Rivers and have avoided repeating. If Obaseki is scared direct primary will be rigged he should not bother to contest the main election because even that is not immune to rigging. Direct is the most democratic process. Not indirect where half of the delegates are staff of the governor such as commissioners and aides. Let him match his words with action. Actually he doesn't have a choice.
With Direct Primary Obaseki is gone, I assure you he won't get APC Gubernitorial Ticket
slyfox35: Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.
We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.
Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years. Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).
My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.
Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!
His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.
On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.
I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)
I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.
This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.
What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”
Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?
I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?
You're an adult, my advise to you is that forgive him and bear no grudges, but there's a caveat(warning) here don't allow him to stay with You. That's why sometimes God allow us to face adversity, so we can know those we call best friend and bestie, if possible cut all links with him
adem30: The Living Faith Church aka Winner Chapel of Bishop David Oyedepo claimed to have healed 36 Covid-19 patients around the world through online broadcast. This was shared on Facebook broadcast sent to all church members
Yes prayer is essential, you can pray in your house after all the church is not the building but people, pray in your house. Here in Italy churches are still on lockdown even with the substantial improvement. What is the problem with black man( women) including political and religious leaders. Are we curse as a people?
Sunshineg5: That is the problem of locking up one or few states while allowing other states to function to half or full capacity.
People will naturally run away from the locked down states to other free states, especially with the level of corruption within the Nigerian security forces that are supposed to enforce the lock down.
The Initial lock down actually aided the spread of the virus to other states of the federation as people tried to escape the restrictions to other states.
You're absolutely right, same thing played out here in Italy Milan(Lormbady region) when people got wind that there will be lockdown there was mass exodus of people leaving the region the central government was quick enough to put in place total lockdown in all the regions
Flyingngel: This is crazily insane. We need God's intervention.
We should stop calling God's name in vain, for a long while they where advised to diversify the economy but no. They where busy diversifying on the pages of newspapers, televisions and radio. now they will know what has hit them(political leaders) and the common Nigerians who will suffer from this. The sad truth is that they won't learn
Anambralstson: Next cash and carry distributes food items to Agulu community in Aniocha local government
Agulu what a lovely place and nice set of people, did my NYSC in a community in Agulu(2011/2012), most Igbo communities(people) are very accommodating, could recall myself and some of my colleague use to wear our Corp member uniform to the market with a view to get discount from the traders. Indeed the Igbos are lovely set of people. IGBO AMAKA
Ironic: D'fvq did I just read? Like, you'll send your kids on an errand, your wife will stop them and you won't do anything?
Like, you don't flog your kids? You fvckin claiming Western pattern of raising kids by being a simp to them all to be tagged a modern dad? You gotta be a typical African dad asap!
Bruv, the first thing you need to do now is to make them to be scared of you. Very necessary at this point.
Next time you send any of them message and he/she refuses because of your wife, flog the hell out of that one, if your wife tries to misbehave, flog her too with well-deserved uppercut and smackdown. If possible, stop eating her food because she's capable of doing something unexpected with what you eat.
They'll become scared of your recent behavior and adjust. Strict dads keep the best, calm and organized home.
What next? Your wife will try to manipulate them by using your new attitude towards them. Keep being strict towards them and still do your fatherly works towards them.
Trust me, you need to go very hard right now since your soft ways ain't working.
Mothers manipulations towards their kids against their dad can only function when they are tender, when they grow, they MUST know the truth and the mum will be at the loosing end.
If you don't have the mind to do what I've advised--Divorce your wife. You can't keep housing a demon who's quick to use your kids against you because she's closer to them.
You're on point, after going on your kneel to plead with her with a view to make things work she refuse, and she's using your kids against you. I'm sorry to say you're weakling how will a father send his kids on an errand and the mother will stop them from going. Involve her family and yours in this issue. If she refuse to change for the better divorce her Asap
West is not a danger zone, provided you follow the rules of personal hygiene and reduce social contact To it nearest minimum. Be more concern about your country with weak health system.
