I feel sorry for Oshiomhole that despite his outstanding works as a governor, he may now go down in history as a villain instead of the hero status he deserved. Where did it all go wrong for him? We can learn some lessons from his mistakes.
1. Do not take God's grace for granted
Oshiomhole is no doubt a product of grace. For an ordinary Tailor without even a primary school cert to rise through the ranks to become NLC president, a state Governor and the national chairman of the ruling party could only be grace at work but when he got to the top, he forgot the hand that lifted and held him, he elevated himself to the position of a god and started bragging: "no man born of a woman can remove me...", "I will give Obaseki Ambode treatment... He became high handed and started stepping on people's toes. He went into overdrive, wielding the axe on anyone who dared to confront him, masterminding electoral irregularities with full blown violence and daring anyone to challenge him... He abused the grace that lifted him.
2. Do not underrate anybody
One of our proverbs says: "if you wake up in the morning and sees a fowl pursuing you, you'd better run because you don't know if it had grown teeth overnight". When he was suspended by his ward Chairman, he called him a local politician, a village champion, an 'ordinary' ward chairman and refused to appeal the suspension within the window provided by the constitution until a federal high court in Abuja affirmed it, then he started running helter skelter, looking for a last ditch intervention to save his head until the appeal court gave him reprieve. He also serially underrated the power of a sitting governor.
3. Pride goes before a fall
After the Abuja high court judgement, he did something admirable; he humbled himself, called a meeting of the NWC and apologized to everyone with the words "I have realized my mistakes'. However, realizing your mistakes is not enough, he obviously did not learn from his mistakes as evidenced by his prolonged war with Obaseki and Oshawo. It was overhead pride to think "how can I a whole chairman call these neophytes for settlement"? A true father does that, sometimes you are at loggerheads with your own children and because you don't want to burn down the house, you call them to yourself, air your grievances and settle the quarrel.
4. Learn to retreat sometimes
There is a time to be brave and a time to be conscious. Only cowards keep advancing in battles without retreating, sometimes we need to learn the art of "winning by losing", sometimes you need to learn to retreat and re-evaluate the battle, your enemy and your potential gains and losses. Always fight with your sense not your muscles. One of our proverbs says: "if you are too sharp, you may cut yourself in the end", this is what has happened to him.
5. Beware of praise singers
Oshiomhole's supporters did not help matters either, they elevated him to the position of a god, they called him head-swelling names; Oshiothunder, OshioLion, Oshiobuldozer, Oshiowinner, Oshioquake, Oshiofire, the man who has never lost and can never loss a battle and so many annoying names and in a bid to justify the names, he shut his ears to good advise. The great Oduma of Afemai music had advised him in his album titled "last tenure" that there shall come a time you will look back and see no one behind you but they don't listen to good music, he preferred to dance to "is a goal" and listen to those fair weather Afemai musicians who campaigned for his adversaries at the beginning but turned back to dedicate a track in every of their albums to him after he had won the election. Sometimes learn how to listen and you could benefit even from those who talk badly.
6. What goes around comes around
He did this to a lot of people; Saraki, Oyegun,... just to name a few. He has simply gotten a taste of his own pie.

Four Plants that Repel Snakes
Some of the four commonly found plants that repel snakes do so for known reasons—while others are a little more mysterious. Regardless, planting a wide variety of plants is the best way to create a reliable snake deterrent. Snakes do not like strong smells, so employing a mixture of plants will provide above ground and below ground coverage. The following are four plants that are known to repel snakes:

1. Marigolds
Marigolds are commonly used in an effort to deter pests. The reason is in the roots of the plant. It has traditionally been implemented to deter gophers and moles. The roots grow deep and aggressively, which give off a strong odor that repels many garden pests and critters. What’s more, the bright flowers look good on your property. Marigolds can provide a hiding spot for mice and other snake prey; however, the root’s strong odor keeps pests from settling in.

2. Mother-in-Law’s Tongue
Mother-in-Law’s Tongue is one of the best plants that repel snakes because of its sharp leaves—but also because the plant rejuvenates the oxygen at a higher-than-normal rate. Unlike smelly plants, snakes find the sight of Mother-in-Laws Tongue frightening. It is a great-looking plant to have around the garden as a barrier against snakes and it is very low maintenance. The plant needs water only three times per week and this perennial plant will last for many years. If propagating from a single host plant, be sure to let the roots establish themselves first for at least three months after planting. It is used as a snake repellent for warm outdoor climates and indoors in cool climates.

3. West Indian Lemongrass
Lemongrass produces a citrus smell that deters snakes. Citronella is also a by-product of lemongrass, which mosquitoes detest. This is one of the best plants that repel snakes, mosquitoes, and even ticks from your garden. Lemongrass is drought-resistant and easy to maintain. What’s more, it is an attractive addition to any landscape. Use lemongrass to form a secure barrier from snakes and repel mosquitoes and ticks at the same time.

4. Onion & Garlic
Onions and garlic are very useful garden plants for repelling snakes. Both plants give off a smell that snakes not only dislike, but it also confuses them. Garlic plants are thought to be the best plants that repel snakes. The plant gives off an oily residue when a snake slithers over a clove. This oil acts very much like an onion does when we slice it: the aroma is disorienting like a pepper spray.

Conclusion
There is no single plant that will do all of the work but, by combining the four plants that repel snakes listed above, you can create a snake-free zone in which to garden, play and live. It is simply a question of combining the best plants that repel snakes. The aesthetic design, however, is up to you.

Oga what concerns Boss Mustapha in your case now, he was appointed just two days ago now, and you have been sick for two weeks now?

Gambari pa fulani ko ni ejo ninu.

30% Society

Can u please explain.

I researched this long ago and came to the conclusion over 10 years ago that African men don't love. They married not because of love.

Is it that the PAs dont know they are going to farm or swampy area? See their shoes and dresses see their oga's

Because they want to go and die at home. Period.

It is well. Wondering why they have not been testing in Kano for some days now. Can the government please take this more serious or do we wait until it is totally out of control?

Government wants to downsize their population.

I don't know if am the only one in 2020, I observed with a great shock that our politician suddenly forgot everything about 2023 election. Have we done the election or 2023 election cancelled?

My mum is a specialist in sending people on errands. She can literally call you all the way from your room or anywhere a bit far from her to help her get something she could just stand up and get. Damn! It pisses the crap out of me.

Oga that is why she is your mum. u don't like it now se? Don't do it for your child when you have your own. That was how she was brought up. Na so old people be.
I still did it yesterday before i traveled to mys station. And my daughter cannot complain.

This is a good news, do you know why?

They have all the money, the power and influence but is failing them now. We didn't offend God to be born in Nigeria. But our leaders thought they can eat their cakes and have it.

We said close boarder when we first heard corona is ravaging other countries they refused until just yesterday here 23/03/2020 since sickness started last year.

Since poor masses can not do revolution corona is doing it for us in our korokoro eyes.

I BELIEF OUR LEADERS WILL LEARN THEIR LESSON AFTER WE SURVIVE THIS, if we will at all.

God bless you my brother.

As much as I like obaseki and his good work I hate the lukewarm attitude he paid to covid-19.

This virus is serious and is spreading faster than you and I expected it.
Please place ban on gathering of more than 20. Close schools down to guide against spreading of the deadly virus. Please.
