Bensondrums: Excitement as Samuel Ogbemudia stadium takes shape
As construction at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium reaches advanced stage with the laying of the canopy cover, residents in Edo State have lauded the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led government for its commitment to sports development.
babaolofin: That is the reason your kinsmen have become endangered species of humans in South Africa, Ghana and some other places. The bitterness and racism of your tribe will eventually make you an outcast in Africa. When you have problems in South Africa and Ghana, it is the same Tinubu people that are fighting your cause under Nigeria umbrella forgetting that a Chimpanzee would always behave like Chimpanzee. Don't worry when your cup fulls to the brim, the Tinubu people will chase you out of Benin, Togo & Ghana and Lagos will reject you.
The touts and cannibals at Onitsha and the prostitutes you created that littered everywhere in Nigeria and other major cities in Africa, are they created by Tinubu?
You lack manners in your region. I observed the excitement of your brothers on social media over the rudely behavior of a poorly trained young man who dishonoured Prof Soyinka. You have forgotten those who fight the land where they are surviving will soon go into extinction.
BloggersNG: Nigerian Woman Convicted in UK For Trafficking Girls, Was Contesting as Assembly Member in Edo(pics)
The Nigerian Woman Who was Convicted days ago in the UK for Trafficking Was actually Contesting as a Lawmaker at the Edo state House of Assembly.. Remember Josephine Iyamu was sentenced to Jail after she was found guilty of Trafficking Young girls From Benin to Germany as Sex Slaves, Called the 'modern slavery offences' Where she forces the trafficked women to swear oaths to hand over money to her during "juju" ceremonies.
tsdarkside: the matter is not that easy....most back home dont know what they do abroad,because they have money thats why they are held in high esteem....
but this stvpid statement doesnt wonder me atall....
isnt it whites....?? they useless....!!!!
.......as useless as our president or less useless than him Who is most useless of the three, if I add Nigerians who voted the lifeless old soldier?
Flets: Nigeria's president has warned his fellow citizens to stop trying to make asylum claims in Britain, saying that their reputation for criminality has made it hard for them to be "accepted" abroad.
Muhammadu Buhari, the tough ex-general elected last year, said those who had joined the migrant exodus to Europe were doing so purely for economic reasons rather than because they were in danger.
He added that because of the number of Nigerians imprisoned for law-breaking in Britain and elsewhere, they were also unlikely to get much sympathy.
"We have an image problem abroad and we are on our way to salvage that"
"Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking," he told The Telegraph.
"I don't think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country."
kayusely70: Most Nigerians want to join politics cos its lucrative, nobody wants to invest in long term ventures
So why are you and other Nigerians complaining about insecurity? Where do you expect to have the money to recruit and pay policemen motivational wages to do their jobs of securing the country such that your VIPs don't need to be guarded like prisoners are guarded by warders? Do you really know what you are talking about
kayusely70: The insecurity around the country requires all VIP to need police protection.
Who is responsible for creating the insecurity through their looting and stashing our commonwealth abroad like Abacha? Who if not your VIPs Let them fix the problem by educating people and creating enabling environment for private investors to build factories, have farms & ranches for plenty jobs. Do you understand that
As useless as the P in psychology She get power because her husband is promoting illiteracy, agberoism, almajirism by denying Yorubas education so they can ruin the south west forever. Eledumare will not let them. Amin.
anonimi: Will the revenue from the stadium stop Edo girls exporting themselves to Italy, Spain, Germany etc as alleged by Aisha Buhari
Let Obaseki focus the loans he is taking on removing the stain on Edo girls in a sustainable manner instead of these white elephant, ego-tripping projects.
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.
zolapower: It does my dear , henceforth super eagles may bring there home games to benin come next year the state will be hosting the inaugural national sports festival. Since obaseki inception he's been after generating of revenue . That is why he has borrowed money to fund development in Edo state . Kudos to the gov
How much revenue will a stadium generate compared to the amount used to build it? What happened top renovating the existing stadium in order to enhance the maintenance culture that we all complain about but do nothing to correct? Is the stadium building more important than investing in free & compulsory education for all Edo children to encourage private investors to build factories and set up firms there for quantum leap in IGR? Will the revenue from the stadium stop Edo girls exporting themselves to Italy, Spain, Germany etc as alleged by Aisha Buhari
anonimi: Let them do their core job diligently before saying that they are understaffed. What has doing boy boy work upandan got to do with policing Is that how they do it in the other countries? What interest do you have in excusing bad behaviour?
kayusely70: The police are understaffed and overworked, they cant cope with the workload.

Xisnin: The Punch management are idiots. They sacked brilliant editors because some snowflakes expressed outrage over an instructive illustration. Shame on Punch.
Why are brilliant people showing up on this thread? Thanks boss for this nice comment.
2mch: But did Fatoyinbo not desecrate the Bible with all his scandals? Why the sack? His members probably don’t read Punch. Or is this request for sack coming from older perverts aka pastor? Maybe the image is too inconvenient for them?!
You are a troubleshooter. And a damn good one at that
ghost3040: With the establishment of RUGA settlements across board, Trust me, bad roads will be extinct.. Let's all support this wonderful initiative by the FG..
anonymuz: i tell you, that place isn't meant for the blacks. I have to leave there last year when i went for a short programme in one of thier school. You can't go out freely, no babe, that one na no going area as far as your aren't their citizen. I just wasted time and resources.
Did anyone force Nigerians out of our country? Why can't we face our challenges and make our country work as the citizens of Cyprus and others have done with theirs
slimfit1: We have jokers as judges so don't expect much, thieves as lawyers so don't expect sane judgements.
Are you a prophet
