His Excellency the executive governor, of Edo State, Comrade Adams Aliu Oshiomole, and our dear mother Hajia Aisha Oshiomole, His excellency the deputy governor of Edo state and his able and beautiful wife, the wife of our ... the wife of the chairman of our great party Mrs Oyegun, our zonal national woman leader, our state woman leader, the wives of the governors with me and the wives of the former governors that are with me, and the ones that we met here.
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we are here in Edo to see my sisters and mothers. The moment the executive governor started introducing some women to me, I know* that I am in the right place and I met the right APC women. ((crowd cheers)) This is what is called digital! These are digital women! I am so delighted to be here and I am overwhelmed by the reception I got from the women of Edo state.
We are not here to campaign but to say a very good thank you, a very very big thank you to my sister the wife of the deputy governor, the commissioner for women affairs, the wife of the chairman of the party, the zonal woman leader, and the state woman leader for the job well done they’ve been doing in educating the electorate in Edo state.
In each zone of the country we have peculiar problems; our problems differs*. For me in this zone, girl-child trafficking should be considered one of our problems, though I know there is unemployment. The unemployment is the major factor that contributes to brain drain and also the girl-child trafficking. General Muhammadu Buhari is a leader, he was a leader, he led Nigeria some decades ago, and he is coming back now to sanitise the system.
For those that are campaigning, saying that he is coming to jail Nigerians, I don’t know what their fear*, but they shouldn’t because we are all yearning for change. The insecurity of the country, the very very very bad healthcare system, lack of education and other basic necessities that people are lacking. I think they need somebody like him now, and already some years back he have* been contesting. They have painted him black using religion. I’m happy today Nigerians discovered that they use religion as a cover to loot Nigeria to nonsense*. They’ve grounded the country. Whoever talks to you about religion in this country, a politician that can talk to you about religion, he is a liar. He is a liar, he wants to loot! He wants to loot the little resources you supposed* to enjoy, so say no to politics, comparing it, matching it with religion to deceive people.
I’m here today to let Edo women know that when my husband elected* into the office of the ... president of the federal republic of Nigeria, all these are going to be history. The insecurity, the girl-child trafficking, suffering of the widows in the south-east will come to an end. There must be a design, a cultural design that can accommodate the widow, and then a design that can make the girl-child comfortable wherever she is in this country. She doesn’t need to leave her country to go and prostitute elsewhere. It is not her portion. Her portion is to have a moral, a highly standard* moral society for her to live, get married, have children, train them ... train them and also mould them to become the future of our leaders*.
We’re here today to also educate you and to let you know that the collection of PVCs is important. You collect your PVC and don’t sell it. Don’t ever sell it. Don’t ever sell it; it’s like selling your future again. When you sell it for five thousand, you won't see five thousand* again till after four years, which is too bad for you. Get your PVC, vote for APC, vote for freedom, vote for new Nigeria. Good security, good education, good health care, good road* and all the basic necessities should be given to you.
I thank you all for being here this afternoon, being under the sun for hours waiting to see me. Thank you so much, I love you all. Thank you, thank you so much.
Last week ... sorry last week we lost a sister, a mother, a former woman leader, Mrs Modinat Omoduwa. Can we have a one minute silence* for her… ((8 second pause)) May her soul rest in perfect peace. Thank you so much.
digitaltrades: This is coming from a woman who just came back from the UK on holidays, trip funded by public funds in the same country where public servant do not get salaries
THE Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Osun chapter on Friday insisted that Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s administration is owing teachers in the state 28 months salary arrears, saying the position of the Statistician-General of the state, Professor Wasiu Gbolagade that teachers were not being owed was false and misleading.
Reacting to the claims of Gbolagade, the state chairman of NUT, Comrade Amudah Wakeel, said contrary to the statement, the arrears owed was the modutaled salaries for 28 months which amounted to 14 months full salary.
He maintained that; “government owed teachers in the state an outstanding of the “modulated salaries” for 28 months which will amount to 14 months of full salary.”
CollinsWeGlobe: Cairo is the craziest and amazing city I’ve visited
In the picture below, there are two controversial stones at Cairo International Airport one carrying the other with a rope seems to defy the laws of physics. This sculpture is located at Cairo Airport and this picture has forced millions on the web to think. At first glance, it gives us an impression that something about the sculpture is just not right, and at second look, it just seems impossible. Apparently, it is!
Its has been shared thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook which claim it shows stones tied up by the Prophet Mohammed 1400 years ago. The claim is false; the photo shows a sculpture created by an Egyptian artist for Cairo International airport in 2008.
The million-dollar question is how did the engineers managed to hang the stones in the air? How did he or she do it? Is it real? Should I caress the rope? Can it be rope? Have I got the courage to tap on the rocks to see if they are indeed rocks or maybe fibreglass?
I touched it understanding its made of iron sieve wrapped with cloth, after that they color it just like a stone. So total weight may be around 5 kg of each stone. These two are linked with iron bar covered with Rope string.
AngelicBeing: Hian, wetin Oshiomole do you, l am talking to Buhari to appoint me as finance minister and I will loot all the money in Nigeria, l will sell off Buhari, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Abdusalami, Babangida as slaves to richer western nations, l will take all our Sovereign wealth fund and share it to all Nigerian's, I will sell off Aso Rock, NNPC, CBN, National Assembly, I will bankrupt the entire country and l will be the Emperor extraordinaire of Nigeria and rule Nigeria from Antarctica
From Antarctica? Will you have a new wife in the other room to keep you warm, because I hear sey Antarctica is more cold than London o and Aisha may not be willing and able
charliboy654: See there's nothing even wrong with an engineer working in a bank. Its sometimes not necessary that you practice what you studied. There's nothing like temporary reality there. Besides an engineer can work in the IT and maintenance Department of a bank as well.
You said that engineers working as cashiers in a bank is normal, which is different from your revison above.
ayukdaboss: I don't understand how some of you are always waiting to see how things in this country will fail. Then you still turn around and complain about the same country, there are a lot of indigenous rice farmers now both in small and large scale, this is just one of them and I didn't read anywhere these guys mentioned they will be supplying Lagos with rice for Christmas so please use your head when commenting next time.
Must we all be mumus to be fooled over and over again by the same set of deceptive rogues?
Dandsome: You guys need to see this. APC no vex e don do. Stop the propaganda already
Gov Ibikunle amosun caught red handed. Phone technology and social media are great assets to us o.
Height of deceit by another APC governor.
Can someone please in the name of God tell me this isn't real.
seangy4konji: Sometimes I wonder who gave birth to them..I v sisters. They would never portray themselves in such manner. Sonestimes you wonder if they have family names that the name must be held in pride...
Buhari has turned all of them to hoes...weyher you accept it or not..from old yo young women in Nigeria now is into prostitutuon...married men..old and young..kids as small as 14 now will tell you what will u give me when m going..I weak bro
damble: RIP! HE REALLY SUFFERED. HE LOST HIS SIGHT, ABADONED BY WIFE AND SOLD ALMOST ALL THE PROPERTIES I KNEW HE OWNEDTO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF. I WONDER Y OUR POLITICIANS FORGET THERE IS A GOD OF VENGEANCE. ALL THEY ACQUIRED FALSEFULLY ARE SOLD TO REGAIN HEALTH. MANY OF THEM DON'T END WELL.
phidipe: HIS FIRST WIFE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUTH AFRICAN(DIED), THE SECOND WIFE A BEAUTIFUL INDIAN(SEPARATED). A THIRD WIFE A NIGERIAN RIP LEGEND
You mean that Oshiomole copied him in importing wives while telling poverty burdened Nigerians to eat local rice and not to check out of the country. Why do we allow these hypocrites lead us blindly so?
xynerise: These Northern bikers are constituting nuisance in Lagos. Some of the time you see their bodies on the expressway and even ending the valuable lives of their passengers after taking tramadol.
Many innocent people have been killed or injured because they disagreed with these idiots. And for their agenda the Igbo man talked about, what is all about?
Seriously, I can't identify myself as a Nigerian if these people claim to be one.
Their agenda is to occupy land and claim as climate change dries up their arid north further and as southerners flee abroad seeking greener pastures. They may not even be Nigerian citizens, based on what Buhari and El-Rufai said.
Herdsmen from Libya responsible for attacks – Buhari
- President Muhammadu Buhari says the fall the Ghadaffi regime made some trained militia men to disperse to countries in the region - Says it is the custom for herdsmen to roam about in search for grazing areas for their cattle - Blames the seizure of land meant for cattle routes and grazing areas marked for herdsmen by some persons for the escalation of the crisis between farmers and herdsmen
President Muhammadu Buhari has said herdsmen responsible for the attacks across Nigeria migrated from Libya.
Buhari who made this disclosure on Saturday, May 14 in London on the CNN said following the fall of the Ghadaffi regime, some people from the Sahel who were trained by the regime dispatched to other countries in the region and began causing trouble.
How we paid violent herdsmen to stop Southern Kaduna killings – El-Rufai
“Fulani herdsmen from across Africa bring their cattle down towards Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria. The moment the rains starts around March, April, they start moving them up to go back to their various communities and countries.
“Unfortunately, it was when they were moving up with their cattle across Southern Kaduna that the elections of 2011 took place and the crisis trapped some of them.
“Some of them were from Niger, Cameroon, Chad, Mali and Senegal. Fulanis are in 14 African countries and they traverse this country with the cattle.
“So many of these people were killed, cattle lost and they organised themselves and came back to revenge.
“So a lot of what was happening in Southern Kaduna was actually from outside Nigeria. We got a hint that the late Governor Patrick Yakowa got this information and he sent someone to go round some of these Fulani communities, but of course after he died, the whole thing stopped. That is what we inherited. But the Agwai committee established that.
“We took certain steps. We got a group of people that were going round trying to trace some of these people in Cameroon, Niger republic and so on to tell them that there is a new governor who is Fulani like them and has no problem paying compensations for lives lost and he is begging them to stop killing.
“In most of the communities, once that appeal was made to them, they said they have forgiven. There are one or two that asked for monetary compensation. They said they have forgiven the death of human beings, but want compensation for cattle. We said no problem, and we paid some. As recently as two weeks ago, the team went to Niger republic to attend one Fulani gathering that they hold every year with a message from me.”
sacx: Yes. He was following the SUV too closely from behind and on speed, so when the driver applied brakes, he just rammed into it.
For the brother, they assumed he was the driver of the vehicle when he came looking for who was involved in the accident. Very similar to what happened with Ishi.
Thanks a lot for clarifying that. I hope that more of us will open our eyes to the menace that is creeping stealthily on us to destroy the basic things we value- law & order, sanctity of human life.
Sanchez01: I don't play your kind of politics, anonimi. For the record, I was very much active in the APC before pulling out on my will. I wasn't kicked out like some of you who lost everything after the APC won. I'll only criticize objectively and not do so out of pure resentment and sentiment.
For the record too, I was in AD, AC and ACN until I realised that they are scammers and fraudulent people who have no iota of progressive ideals that Awo and the five LOBOO state governors stood for, worked for and achieved. So you are a latecomer. My support for PDP is because it is the better of the two bad options we currently have and they have achieved more in those progressive sectors- education in particular.
sacx: What happened to you was very sad. Sometimes I try to advocate for this 'one Nigeria' stuff, but the more I see incidents like this, the less convinced I am.
It was few months ago I witnessed how these boys burnt down someone's SUV because of one of their erring brothers who while moving with reckless speed, slammed into it from behind and died in the process, injuring the passenger.
The driver of the SUV could have been lynched if he hadn't escaped from the scene as soon as it occurred. A brother to the injured passenger who came to check on him at the hospital was beaten to pulp and almost set ablaze if not for timely intervention.
What more can we say of this lot? Extremely crude and dangerous. Presently, I don't see a solution to their menace if not disintegration of the country. I just hope by some miracle, there could be a turnaround to this trend.
Mrsserene: The only people pained by this new rule are bitter people or people that feed from spreading false news and hate. I have been wondering why such people are going unpunished in this country. Dear FG, start with Nairaland hate vendors!
AccessME: I just laugh u guys cos u'll obviously can't sense the game they trying to play. I see Buhari contesting for a third term and they don't want any opposition or hate comments at all and we'all know Buhari is now in control of both the legislative and the judiciary which he has always wanted to help him aid and abet his evil agendas and behold it's about to start taking effect. Be ready Nigerians, just be ready.. We've not seen the worst from that Dictator.
Sanchez01: APC is useless sha. Of all things, social media regulation is their problem. Some of us made a grave mistake of voting Buhari in the 2015 election. Mehn!
ZombieTERROR: Nothing will stop me from saying the truth...
Lai Muhammad is a serial looter and a liar ..
Buhari rubber stamp Senate should give us death by firing squad for corrupt politicians if truly Buhari was serious about fighting corruption...like its done in China..
Ishilove: An industry colleague told me that such rubbish could never have happened in other areas of Apapa dominated by South-Westerners. He said when they start misbehaving, "those Yoruba boys will start reformatting their brains with slaps". End quote. Another said in places like computer village, they Easterners would have beaten them to a pulp if they pulled that kind of idiocy on an innocent person.
One Nigeria is a mirage, and it's going to get worse.
You can say that again. Let us work on getting as many people's eyes opened to the reality before push gets to shove.
tianshie: When oafs like you resort to ad hominem attacks, it's the emptiness within screaming for recognition.
My race did work hard. The old Benin kingdom already had straight, smooth streets—with non-electric streetlights—before the thieving Europeans made contact and interrupted the smooth flow of history on our side.
In 1498 when the Portuguese landed on the shores of the Congo, they discovered a rich and flourishing state; elders at the court of Ambasse were dressed in silks and brocades.
It is okay to call out today's African leaders for their greediness and seeming unwillingness to develop their countries—but what I tell every self-hating black man like yourself is that you must always put their rapacity in context of colonial exploitation. The sort of unctuous greed that drove the English settlers to snatch land from the native Indians.
Yes, I will call out Henry F-CKING Ford's nauseous racism. Any well educated monkey can say the words you quoted. It's no gem of wisdom.
Keep in mind that the American industrial revolution he benefitted from would never have taken place without stolen technology from England.
Educate yourself you snotty, subservient lackey.
Read "The Black Jacobins," by CLR James. "Black Skin White Masks," by Frantz Fanon.
From blaming whites to blaming leaders, who are there by the grace of the people. Any chance of taking responsibility? Stolen technology from England? Who has stopped Africans from "stealing" technology from anyone as the Chinese, Indians and other Asians have done? Who, except our lazy selves? You that is not subservient and snotty why are you hooked on oyinbo stuff and technology, which compound Africa's indebtedness?
The passenger, whose accent proclaimed him of eastern extraction answered "the boy lying unconscious there". I was baffled. Why do I have to go back for any bloody reason when he is the one that hit me? I was already getting mega pissed by now and I told the idiot man as much and walked away with TJ. I had barely gone a few steps when I was surrounded by what seemed like hundreds of illiterate northern bikers commonly known as...you are. right. Very correct.
I was wondering what was happening when someone rode up with the idiot biker who struck me. Apparently he had regained consciousness his right cheekbone was scraped raw and swollen three time it's normal size.
They were all chanting "treat him" and were becoming agitated. TJ tried to explain that this hopeless guy had struck me from behind, but the more he explained, the more agitated they became. One of them who could speak English said I fvcked up. Ha, fvcked up how? He answered that after I caused the accident the least I could do was to stay behind to see if he recovered. Ha, aye mi o! How did I cause the accident? He answered that I caused it when I was "trying to cross the road".
Jesus Christ...
Ha, cross the road to where?? To go and dance Alingo on top of the double parked trailers on their way to drop empty containers at the terminal? I was heading to the ATM with this guy (I was pointing at TJ) when your brother came with his unfortunate self to jam me.
Then it dawned on me. None of the members of this motley mob of stark illiterate bikers were present at the collision, but they were already cooking up strange and satanic stories in allegiance with their comrade. Demonic accusations were flying around, the strangest of them being that I 'pushed' the idiot biker and he fell.
One of my staff members who happened to the passing by came down from the vehicle he was escorting and jumped into the middle of the crowd. He told them to stop pushing me. Instantly a set of hooligans pounced on him and gave him hot chase down the extremely slopy side of Coconut bridge. These people seemed volatile and were ready to unleash violence. The boy ran to the shop of one of the eastern traders to report the incident. The trader, an elderly gentleman came, and after hearing my own side of this ridiculous matter whispered to me that there is trouble in Nigeria, and that haven't i noticed how 'they' have practically overrun all sectors of the economy, and in Lagos state as a whole? Didn't i know they have an agenda?
He advised that for my own safety and for peace to reign, I should just take the rider to the clinic. Another eastern gentleman who had left his shop to come and investigate this furor centered around an angry, wild haired, bespectacled and furiously gesticulating lady concurred.
Ishilove: I was advised by the doctor that for peace to reign, I should just treat him and take it as a sacrifice for the 'Mber' month. He charged me 10k, but I was to give the bike people 2k out of the money.
I went to the ATM, withdrew the amount and gave everything to the Doctor. God forbid i dignify those people by addressing them directly.
I collected the receipt and walked out of the clinic. On my way out, i favoured them with the most disdainful look I could muster, hissed at them and walked away.
My heart is full of anger, but I know, Dear Reader, that you know exactly what will come out of my fingers if I really give vent to what is in my mind about these northern bikers that flood Lagos on a weekly basis in cover body trucks, armed with nothing but the clothes on their backs and Yamaha bikes. They have this herd mentality that begs the question-"even if you no go school, shey you no get common sense?" It is still this same mentality that causes religious lynching in the northern part of the country. A rumour goes round and without any kind of investigation, they pounce on the hapless victim.
Let me stop here before I run afoul of Rule 2, but l will drop a word of caution to my fellow Nairalanders of northern extraction- MAKE A CHANGE IN YOUR INDIGENOUS STATES. What I witnessed today made me understand for the first time why a lot of northerners are very vulnerable to extremist ideologies and conditioning. Many of these people have been so completely starved of even the most basic enlightenment that it seems like they are now incapable of rational thought, and as a result act like the Missing Link.
Perhaps basic education will curtail the menace and complete nuisance so many of them constitute when they migrate to other states.
Sorry for your loss and make you no too vex dear. As for the bold, it is one of the signs of the ongoing demographic change aptly captured below.
