Imagine a situation where I have to pay someone's NEPA bill of #2000. I was speechless seeing a man with his family begging a fellow that he shouldn't cut off their light. they would pay him the money next month that he should have mercy on them considering the fact that things are hard these days..

Immediately the guy left, I went to the man and asked him what happened he said it was NEPA bill. I asked how much he said 2k. I told him to call the guy. He did, I gave the guy the 2k. Omo, it was like I paid his children's school fees. Even his wife was thanking me.

I shook my head in disbelief and left.

You for collect better gratitude from the wife

Iran really need to shut up. Israel has shown the world, that Iran is mostly mouth

If you are fit in good shape then web caming is the a very god side hustle

Nonsense! If after 60 years of independece we are not ready for state police, then when will we be ready. The IGP and his type just want to continue this model of excess power at the center which gives them the opportunity to chop and chop with no limit. We need to restructure the nation and breaking up the police not just into state but also city police is badly needed

The whole reason Luggard amalgamated the North and south was for the richer south to subsidze the poorer north. Over 100 years later, nothing has changed. Southern oil, gas and VAT revenue flows to the North, and still they remain poor, uneducated, and retched. It's a proven FACT that southern presidents create more wealth for the nation (OBJ, GEJ and now BAT). No notherner should be allowed to rule Nigeria, unless he can show how he has REDUCED poverty his part of the north. All the northern rulers know is spend spend spend. No clue on how to generate funds

The other thing that MUST change is all aspects of quota system. The north can NEVER progress when its people are not properly educated.

You know I didn’t know Obaseki was fighting the Oba of Benin until I met a man from Edo about a week ago.

The man is from Edo North, I think Etsako, but he told me the Oba will not support whoever Obaseki presents because of the squabble between them; to the extent some Benin sons used to come from abroad to attend the court sitting of the case Obaseki has with the Oba in court.

Now, it seems the Oba has tacitly chosen Akpata as his own candidate. And should the Benin people of Edo South give him bloc vote, Akpata would have one leg in the government house.

I wonder why Obaseki would fight the Oba. And this man from Edo told me that Obaseki’s ancestor was behind the banishment of the Oba of Benin during the Colonial era I guess. He said the current Oba was against Obaseki’s candidacy when Oshiomole presented him to the Oba but Oshiomole assured the Oba that Obaseki would not be like his fathers but it seems Oshiomole was wrong.

Things seem to be aligning for Akpata.

Dream on. PDP will sweep the polls. Olumide has no structure in Edo state

Where are all the haters now?
Edo number 1 under my able governor, Godwin 'Red Eye' Obaseki.

Obaseki has been a GREAT governor of Edo state. He's put in place a solid foundation for his successor to build on. Most importantly, he kept us independent. Edo state funds are not going to any godfather monthly. For this alone, he will have my unending gratitude.

The FG could do the folowing:
Designate Air Peace as a company of 'Strategic National Importnace'. Give them access to extrmely low interest rate business credit, direct from CBN. Give them tax exemptions for the next 3 years. Give them waivers on aiport landing costs at MM Airport.

All these will help them in the price war with the foriegn airlines.

Air peace should look at offering full ticket options, for example Enugu/Owerri/Akure/Benin/Asaba.. To London. If someone can book from Asaba, check in your luggage in Asaba, fly to Lagos and then to London, that will be big advantage and many pepople would go for that. The same on return, you check in your laugguage in London, and pick it up, when you arrive in Enugu/Asaba/ Benin..
Air peace should leverage their domestic network to offer a full serive that the likes of BA and virgin can't

Jostoman:
Edo Voters are going to win

When has FG ever determined the winner of an Edo governorship election? Even OBJ and 'Mr Fix It' could not stop Oshimole. Edo no be joke state. We ALWAYS get the candidate we vote for

If you are happy with the Price of Rice between now and last May vote APC
if you are happy with the price of fuel between now and last may vote APC
if you are happy with the price of noodles between now and last may vote APC

zumbigbo:
When they get chased out with bricks and bats, make them no say racism. We that have been rolling in the UK for decades never reach halla halla like these new breed. If evangelism dey ginger Naija to success, why dem never stay there.

Don't mind the 'low intelligence' waste pipes. Jumping around like people that are possessed.

If every single black person on earth was eliminated tomorrow, what would the world loose? We are such a WASTE OF SPACE.

Look at these ones jumping up and down in another mans country, worshiping another man's religion. Totally unable to develop their own country. Generation after generation afflicted by pestilence, violence, sickness and early death.

The white man should come and recolonize Africa for the next 200 years. That's how long it will take thick, dumb black people to get sense

omowolewa:
Okay, revenge mode activated

Revenge against Obaseki the 'Red Eye' Ok make we dey look. I think many of you don't understand how strong and rutherless 'Red eye' is. He has won all the battles he's been in so far. Oshimole, Ize-Iyamu, Jagaban, Wike... all were defeated by the 'Red Eye'!

Undefeated.
Obaseki wins every battle he embarks on. A true 'Red Eye' Benin man!

Fear no go let Iran try am They know what Israel is capable of. They will use their terror proxies. If they strike Israel directly from Iran, Israel will turn Tehran into another Gaza

They should stay away. We don't need them

Theoarhics:
One thing I know for sure PDP is losing the state to APC. From feeders I get from Edo North they are not happy with Obaseki and PDP, this region will decide the winner of this election, and as we speak right now no strong PDP member from that side that can gather vote for them. Oshiomole's influence is still very prominent in that region . I'm 100% certain that APC is winning the region landslide. As for the Edo south and Central the votes will be evenly distributed hence Obaseki and PDP are gonners.

If you know this 'for sure', are you ready to put money on it? Should we bet N100000?

seunmsg:
He should pack his things and relocate to Lagos since Obaseki has finally shown him the meaning of “Edo no be Lagos”.

I have absolutely no pity for Shaibu though, he got exactly what he deserved. Looking at how he betrayed Oshiomhole, there is absolutely no way anyone will ever trust him enough with power. Obaseki has used and discarded him. He can’t go back to Oshiomhole. He’s now a political orphan with no value or usefulness. His political career is dead and buried.

Totally agree. Obaseki is a master fighter. If you watch Mafia movies or read mafia books, you'll see that traitors are seldom trusted by those they thought they were helping. Once you betray your principal, the next one will always be thinking 'This guy betrayed his principal, he can betray me as well' Obaseki was NEVER going to support Phillip's ambition because of this.. Philip should have read the situation and worked with Obaseki to remain relevant in the next dispensation. Now he's finished. Obaseki and Oshimole will even do back door deals as Oshimole's candidate was schemed out by APC.
Edo politics sweet sha!

The GEJ they planned and against, is looking fresher than ever. He's a respected elder statesman, sought for across the globe.

The North that lied, killed and cheated to get rid of him, is today consumed by poverty, sickness, death and brutality.

There is indeed a God!!

Competition is good for everyone. Prices will come down and a better level of service will be offered

We need to stop making a mountain out of this issue. Isi-Agu is NIGERIAN atire that originates fron the Igbos. Any Nigerian can wear it, just like any Nigerian can wear Aso-Eke or agbada.
This is only an issue for those who have problem with anything Igbo.
Iam an Edo man and I LOVE seeing the Igbo costumes on the Air Peace staff. Nothing stops people from other regions setting up business platforms, and promoting their regions culture on those platforms.

helinues:
See this unserious governors. They have concluded plans? when was the new electricity act passed?

If you have just concluded with your plans, then how many years would you take to execute those plans?

Wondering when Nigerians would start questioning their state governors same way they have been doing to FG, all this governors are just like P in Psychology

So true. People keep shouting 'Tinubu this, Buhari that' forgetting that their state governors have SO MUCH responsibilities which they are not performing on. Abia is showing the way with regards to power. EVERY state in Nigeria should have a domestic power programme, including the requisite legal backing for an internal power market, generation and transmission. People need to DEMAND more from their states and LGs. The days of waiting for Abuja to solve everything are over

Power generation is now off the execuive list, so every state should follow Abia and build their own power stations. To hell with this centralized model, which only exisits to fleece the south for the benefit of the North. Let every state take care of itself. No more yeye national grid that never works anyway

Obaseki the best governor in Edo states history. Some people don't understand all the things the man has done I pray his selected candidate wins the election, to continue the good work

LagosFirstSon:
FFK still in the mud 😂😂😆😂😆

They've used and dumped the fool

We need to fundraising for FFK

What do we expect? When the oil fields are given to crooks, girlfriends/mistresses, traditional rulers..
In a serious country, anybody that has been allocated an oil well and his not doing the required investments to keep it productive, should forfit that oil well.
We will not attract investments into the downstream sector unless there is full transparency and security

Very good developments. Please ensure Edo state retains 100% of the revenue from the mining of these minerals, just as Zamfara keeps the money from its Gold.

Objectivist04:
Obi won't try what, is like you are a kid, if Tinubu, Wole Soyinka, Dele Momodu , Bayou Onanuga , Bisi Akande and other pro democracy cum NADECO cheiftains could align with Buhari a military dictator and an Abacha die hard apologist just to grab power then everything is possible in. Nigerian politics.

100% agree. Politics is all about alliances. Both El-Rufai and Tinubu had in the past rained insults on Buhari, yet that did not stop them and others from joining up with Buhari to unseat GEJ. Once it becomes clear to PO that he can't win on his steam, he will make a deal with a northerner like EL-Rufai, just like after 4 attempts, Buhari knew he had to make a deal with Tinubbu

Northern Elders should be putting pressure on Northern governors to do their part. SW governors invested in Amoketun security outfit which helped to reduce the incidence of kidnapping in the SW. Edo invested in local vigilante groups. The issue of security can't be left to just the FG

id4sho:
I am not a fan of Jagaban , but Emilokan go scatter Dem.
BAT ain't cry cry GEJ

TINUBU has not appointed his INEC , rivers of blood will over flood it's bank

What do I know sef

Please do not mistake honor for weakness. GEJ lost the election, and accepted the result as a man of honour. There's nothing ri be mocked about that

My top 3 for the sack:
Minister of Power(Has only brought darkness)
Minister of Defense (Insecurity is even worse than under Bunhari)
Minister of Finance (Does not have a clue on how to revamp the economy, other to take even more loans)
