She has begged on behalf of her husband. She doesn't like herself.

jackmrandy:
I watched the video. the woman is an idiot. After all the steps and efforts taken to rescue her from the hands of a beast, she still have the guts to say the case should be withdrawn. Wait for the worst to come. this same woman will come out again, just watch and see.

She might not even be in good condition to tell her story next time.

If you help her life now, she go become thorn in your flesh. When they need help, they cry...once they have it, they begin to give you heat.

GanagiBitrus:
Imagine the big boy thieves.

If security at the entrance of the estate has record of all cars entering the estate, then they may be caught.

The number plate is clearly showing.

Do you know how bad this little issue they're complaining about would be if it's asphalt-based?

You're in Europe and trust a brother in Nigeria with 30m? Can't you just find a way to get your money to Nigeria in your own account and come and supervise your project?

Who taught our people to be this stupid and wicked at the same time?

Stupid girl!

OmugwoAunty:
They were already enemies before the screenshots. They were fighting each other directly and she directly had accused her sister about coming to my house to wreck my home. They had already blocked each other.

The damaging part was that I said something around the fact that , I know what my mom said about you and I don’t support her.

That's why we're chastising you here. You can tell your mom to desist from such allegation and not reveal what she said to her sister. That has further deteriorated their relationship. Since you know your mom, you should be the one mending fences.

Don't expose your family to your husband, it might work against you, too.

Apologize to your mom.

MyMouth:
Abeg, which shayo you dey take You deserve a bottle for this post. You don talk am finish!

I dey combine milk and malt to cool down, my brother.

FreeStuffsNG:
If the part allegedly played by HE Hope Uzodimma is true then those widespread massively rigged 'Agulu results' rigged against the President all over Igboland, as rightly suspected, was because of the half-hearted commitment of APC South East, to getting their party's Presidential candidate elected.

Though election is now gone and the President is focused on governance, the party will learn a lot by ensuring that the Asiwaju Tinubu tenure is not sabotaged by politicians who are not loyal to the party.

Just the allegation that a Nigerian of Southern extraction, Igbo Governor HE Hope Uzodimma, opposed the ambition of Asiwaju Tinubu and worked for the emergence of former Senate President Lawan , a Nigerian of Northern extraction, to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, patriotic Nigerian of Northern extraction who genuinely wanted Presidency to go South, is really revealing.

It's truly revealing because at the same time HE Hope Uzodimma was allegedly working for the emergence of Senate President Lawan, his fellow Igbo who are top APC Igbo Leaders and Presidential aspirants like his HE Orji Uzo Kalu and HE Ogbonanya Onu were literally blackmailing the rest of other APC faithfuls that it was fair to cede the ticket to the South East.

As a matter of fact, that night, HE Ogbonanya Onu used very strong words to blackmail others on the APC Presidential manifesto Primary night. He didn't come straight with the rest of us that all the blackmail was an attempt to block Asiwaju Tinubu so that a dark horse like Senator Lawan will emerge to lose against an Alhaji Atiku in the main election and thus make 16 straight years of Nigerian President of Northern extraction a fait accompli. So that cry HE Orji Kalu was crying that the APC was unjust against Igbo was to benefit Senator Lawan and dash PDP's Atiku the Presidency. Smh

They must have thought the South West folks are naive enough to buy the PYO option they were dangling as if we don't know that Asiwaju Tinubu lokan. Smh.

That book will be very interesting. I will urge the author not to relent, he must keep appealing to those he needs their help to find the favour of Mr President.

Right now, APC has election to win in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa states this Saturday. We will come back to this book after the APC's '3 over 3' victory lap. Check my signature for free stuffs!

But people like El-rufai who made sure power went to south were betrayed by Tinubu.

Yahaya Bello that worked against him is having his endorsement.

APC can't have 3 out of 3 in the election.

Hananfine:
Show me what
Audu
Ibro
Wada
Did in Kogi State for 18 year
Then I will show you what yahaya has done.

Don't come here and type anyhow

You can't even have anyone like Audu again.

Hananfine:
Oh my Goodness. See outright lies. This how many of you come online lying uninterruptedly oya show us the numbers of eligible voters in each region so we can do the math here. Liar

This is the reality. Check it with inec.

Cromagnon:
Which Grace
when we are just hearing his name 1 week to election. Which magic will he perform
Is not by shouting Grace of God upandan o
Bible Say work and pray
Not pray and pray

You don't even know anything about the candidates in this election.

raumdeuter:
I will be very surprised if this happens. How many SDP ward agents do they have all over the state? How much is Muri able to spend?
Elections for rural states na battle of who spend pass.
Best case Muri will spoil one sides chance. Those disgruntled with Yahaya and APC now instead of voting in bloc will split into Dino, Muri camp

I guess Peter Obi template is what ruling party will be using going forward, sponsor a 3rd party candidate to split opposition votes

Check the last election and see how it went, there you can find your answers.

Muri funded the last election during cash swap in kogi east.

justified007:
The election is between Ajaka and Ododo. Ajaka is the preferred and most popularly accepted candidate but his lack of formidable structure outside his senatorial district may be his undoing

APGA won in Anambra without structure, mimiko did in Ondo with Labour, NNPP did in Kano without structure, AD did in SW in '99 without structure, SDP produced senators in Nasarawa in the last election without structure, Leke Abejide made ADC a force in kogi central, and Peter Obi made LP a national party without structure, etc. You know the common denomination here? The people - they're the structures.

alizma:
Ajaka seems to have limit himself to his people while Yahaya has already plot people in his area to calve out something for Ododo. APC is the only party that can boast of getting something relatively ok from all nooks and crannies of the state and that is exactly what is needed to win.

Do you even follow his campaign?

IdisuleOurOwn:
Muri ajaka will win.

By God's grace!

Floky215:
With my knowledge of your Kogi state, the ebira don't have the numbers to win any free and fair election there...after the demise of the late governor who won the election for APC, every other election APC won were all written for them by inec based on directive from above as they use to say..!!

Further the way bello a half ebira man handled Kogi state made other ethnic groups see ebira unfit to rule...!! Bello had the opportunity to write his name in gold but blew it with his childish mentality and way of handling state affairs...!!

Natasha or not, does not change the fact on ground...you can take a que from the result of the last Presidential election in kogi state...how many vote did the ebira speaking areas and other areas produce...? do some comparison and you would understand that even if the major tribe in your state decides the field candidate for both the principal and deputy from their zone, they would still win the election...!!

Some of the ebira people are just living in self delusion and with the hope that inec would help them write result as usual but things may turn the other way all subject to how the powers that be wants thimgs to go....!!

Politics they say is a game of number and trust me from data available ebira don't have the number to win election in that multi ethnic state...infact out of the three major ethnic group they are the least and with bello attitude and character, it further distance the ebira from lots of other ethnic groups in that state...!!!

Thank you! I don't know why no one is talking about the failure of Bello.

It's not about him being a minority in the state, but about performance. Akpabio is Anang and people of Akwa Ibom voted him and he used the opportunity to create a state and national appeal to help him to where he is. Bello further demarketed ebira people by his style of governance.

I've always heard that Ebira people are violent, but Bello further confirms that notion.

He has the opportunity to make rotational governorship an unwritten agreement, but he blew it. Now Igala people would be able to justify producing people like Wada as governor.

Their own son died and Yahaya stole it. In fact, Yahaya made sure Audu lost in his PU. He benefited from their fall, instead of shifting it to the west, he held it in his family, not even in another LG, Ogori, or kotonjarfe, but in his family and some shameless people are supporting him.

Ebira are banking on power of Incumbency to rig and not numbers, that's shameful to think of.

In a free and fair elections, and Igala-Igala ticket would win before noon on the day of election.

They'd be shocked at how well Muri would do in Kotonkarfe, Ajaokuta and Lokoja while they focus on preventing people from voting in kogi east.

He's ready to use the 2019 template, but he'd fail woefully this time.

2023 Kogi Guber Election: Letter to Senator Natasha

By Ismail Omipidan

I have never met Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan before. But I have followed her political engagements over the years. She comes across as a politically savvy Nigerian, who is passionate about addressing the plight of her people. This is why I am reaching out to you today with this message.

Before I proceed to deliver my message, I would like to declare that I have not had a one-on-one meeting with Governor Yahaya Bello before. The only Kogi notable politicians I have had close contact with are Captain Idris Wada and the late Audu Abubakar's son, who expressed interest in running for the governorship of the State in 2019. However, I understand that my message may not sit well with some of my Igala friends, and for that, I offer my sincere apologies in advance.

As someone with roots in Osun cum Benue, born in Texas, which serves as the headquarters of the Idoma nation, I have historical knowledge of how the Igala people, before moving to Kogi in August 1991 following its creation, made political life quite challenging for other parts of the State. And since they got to Kogi, they held sway until 2015 when a new dispensation emerged. They are, therefore, not qualified to speak about justice and equity in the political equation of Kogi State.

Dear Distinguished Senator Natasha, this is where I seek your attention. Politics is influenced by interest, sentiment, and emotion. As Drew Westen, a professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry at Emory University, Atlanta Georgia, noted, "in politics, when reason and emotion collide, emotion invariably wins." It is worth acknowledging that the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Alhaji Usman Ododo, is AnEbira, like yourself. Thus, any misgivings you may have against Governor Yahaya Bello should not be visited upon Ododo.

Alhamdulillah, Allah has restored your seat at the Senate. I congratulate you for being dogged and steadfast over that struggle. You should, however, acknowledge the fact that you succeeded largely because majority of Ebira people wanted you. Today, majority of Ebira people want Ododo's success at the polls, and as such, hindering his path may not be well-received by them. This is why you shouldn't be seen to be a stumbling block to his emergence, for there is always a tomorrow in politics. This Saturday is about emotions.

Again, recently I tested the Adam Smith's Rational Choice Theory in one of my works, in establishing some of the factors that influence voters' choice of candidate in an election. And it was established that voters’ decisions and choice of candidates were also influenced by their self-interests and personal gains.
Politics often leans on self-interest, and an average Ebira individual would view Ododo's triumph as a personal gain, and may therefore not forgive anyone that is seen or perceived to have worked against such interest.

The Rational Choice Theory was propounded by Philosopher Adams Smith in 1776. The theory is grounded in classical psychological literature positing that human beings take decision with relation to their needs and interest. It entails the claim to create a comprehensive explanatory model for social phenomena of any kind, and thus for every form of political communication as well (Vaidya, 2023).

This theory with relation to voting decisions, presupposes that voters use their self-interests to make choices that would provide them with the greatest benefit. These voters weigh their options and make the choice they think will serve their interest best. How these voters decide what will serve them best is usually dependent on their personal preferences. Proponents of Rational Choice theory believe that there is always a rational justification for behaviours and that individuals try to maximise their rewards because they are worth the cost.

Looking at the election at hand, Ododo is the only Ebira man in the race, meaning, all AnEBira would give him a bloc votes. The story is different for other candidates in the race.

Honourable Leke Abejide of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), who's a serving House of Representatives member, representing Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency, appears more popular than Senator Dino Melaye of the PDP in that area. So, he would share from the bloc votes that ordinarily should go to Dino. And there are other featherweight candidates from the area as well that will reduce Dino's votes drastically. Although, Muri Ajaka, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, an Igala man, appears popular in Igala land. Again, unlike Ododo, he is not the only Igala man in the race. Therefore, he won't enjoy bloc votes as well.

Since all the other three major candidates consider Governor Bello, even though he is not on the ballot, as the 'enemy' whose party, the APC should not be given a chance to win this Saturday, their collaboration would have made the race a very tight one for Ododo. But since that has not happened and it is too late for it to happen, Ododo may perhaps carry the day. But I don't want this to happen without your imprint, Senator Natasha. This is the crux of my message to you.

I know that in your inner mind and considering what you stand for, you can never pray for a character like Senator Dino Melaye to be your governor. Notwithstanding your misgivings for Governor Yahaya Bello, consider the fact that he played a significant role in putting an end to the senseless clan clashes among the Ebira, which had plagued Ebiraland before he assumed office. In those days, whenever I am traveling from Otukpo to Ibadan, those clashes were a regular feature in Okene which sometimes distrupt movement of motorists.

To the APC leadership, both in the state and at the national level, I encourage you to reach out to Senator Natasha on behalf of Alhaji Usman Ododo. This may not require public gestures, but extending a hand of fellowship and fostering a mutually beneficial political relationship is paramount.

Finally, Senator Natasha, Ododo is the candidate and not Governor Yahaya Bello. Place him side-by-side with Senator Dino Melaye and tell yourself who between the two will do well for the good of Kogi. I rest my case for now, while we all keep our fingers crossed and await the outcome of Saturday's election in Kogi State.

Warm regards.

Historical hogwash!

He didn't tell you how his Idoma people wanted to create Apa state with a part of Igala land? Idoma have no closest brothers outside their state than Igala people. I remember how boys from Ankpa were going to Agatu to defend them against Fulani attacks.

How did Igala make life challenging for people in the old Benue state? Are Igalas still the ones stopping Idoma from becoming governor of the state? This letter writer is logically arid.

The writer of this empty letter said nothing other than Ebira should support their own and but Igalas are evil for supporting their own.

Graduate of mass communication as a constable? How was he recruited? He was in their public relation office...as constable. Too bad

Official car ko? They'll auction them and take their things along while leaving.

G.O.A.T

LilX2:
.

That's what we're saying she should do...correct her and not expose her.

hstar:
Which area were you staying then?

Railway compound!

Omihanifa:
Yahaya bello is notorious for this.

He's number one on the list. Always in Abuja!

MadamExcellency:
Hope Uzodinma governs from Abuja.

He can't even walk the streets of Owerri let alone Orlu, Okigwe or Mbaise.

Every other previous governors interacted with civil servants, traders, students etc on several occasions but not Uzodinma.

He's campaigning.

TMKsouth:
Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga claims she was hijacked in the early hours of Tuesday on a Johannesburg highway and her bodyguards' pistols stolen. Some reports suggest her security detail was reduced because she was not on official government business and used a hired car.

Ramaphosa!

Brandiebird:
The truth is that you did betray your mother, you exposed her in the worst ways. Additionally, you have no backbone and don’t know how to stand up for yourself. You lack diplomacy skills and you should work on yourself.

Apologise to your mother and hold your auntie accountable for exposing you to your mother too. But since you’re incapable of doing any of this, you should just be quiet, ignore everybody, and focus on your own family and work. Time will heal and you’ll get another chance to do better.

She was the one that exposed her mom. We all call our mothers to order if they say what's not right, but we don't go to town with everything they say.

She betrayed her mom. She should have put her mom in her place and demand proof of husband-snatching by her aunt or tell her to desist from making such claims.

jmaine:
OP, just focus on your family and let them be.. They will come around later...

You were pushed by the EVIL moves of your mum to isolate you from others while seriously slandering your family.. Who does that?

Those siblings supporting her will also have a taste of their medicine.. Just wait...

In the meantime.. You can try and apologise while explaining how you felt and stay on your own... No one needs such insensitive parents around them...

why are you even blaming her mom? The mom was wrong, but she should have managed the situation. Is she a kid? Call a spade a spade.

inioluwaDaniels:
U av already caused a problem wit ur actions by revealing wat ur mum told u in private. Now u want to severe d bond between ur mum n ur second mum.
U shld av been very diplomatic in handling issues like dis rather than sending unnecessary screenshots up b down. Just pray u don't scatter d entire family cos everybody ll be picking sides now. Na so gobe dey take start

She's just selfish and for her own selfish gains, she's ready to throw her mom under the bus. Such a wicked woman.
