Asue Ighodalo's Manifesto.

https://asueighodalo.org/uploads/AI_Manifesto_Final_June.pdf

Wow. So na two lawyers wan tag up to be Governor and Deputy governor? Didn't even know his deputy governor candidate is also a lawyer.

I just glanced through the manifesto now and I noticed he didn't really speak to the cultism menace that has plagued Edo state for so long. I know he mentioned Security, law and order as one of the 5 action points ; but I didn't really see where he mentioned what will be done to deal critically with the cultism cancer.

I was going to say it is surprising he gave Oshiomole "big-ups" at the beginning of the manifesto where he talked about "Our Past" considering they belong to different camps. Then I saw Past Service to Edo state where it was stated he was on the economic team of Oshiomole while he was governor. So, more like Asue Ighodalo is PDAPC through and through. He was APC and then PDP.

No wam!

On paper he seem like he is kinda prepared for the task ahead. Whether Godfatherism, internal political party wranglings and other extraneous will impact on his administration (if he wins) ; only time will tell.

Guess who the Editor-in-Chief of this News Magazine was?

It was Bayo Onanuga of course.

Onanuga who called Chagouris thieves is now working for Tinubu who awarded multi billion dollar contract to Chagouris without following due process.

Just the same way Keyamo who sued Tinubu for certificte forgery turn spokesman and later minister under Tinubu. Smh

That is Nigeria for u.

BTW it's either Dangote sells expensive fuel to Nigerians or he's about to postpone supply of petrol again.

At this point I no Dey understand Dangote again . As each day passes by, he keeps sounding like someone who ventured into a business he was not ready to deal with its complexities .

If he’s not complaining about cabals today, he is blaming non availability of local crude . I no come Dey understand wetin Dey sup gan sef.

[color=royalblue]True. But Fires happen. They happen. And what's funny is how the whole Internet is dragging and trolling the church, just to hear what happens next.

In this country, CBN caught fire, High Court caught fire, NASS abi na Senate caught fire. How many people have been arrested for criminal negligence in these?

Even this year, a church got burnt at Ikeja. LASEMA issued a statement, offered their condolences, and as i am speaking to you, they are rebuilding again.

Na person property burn. Make we take am easy
[/color]

It is the job of Fire service(in this case LASEMA) to investigate and determine if it’s just a fire accidental in nature , if it is fire as a result of negligence or if it was a case of arson .

Once they rule out negligence and arson, then there will be no need for security agents like police to be involved . U know if it’s arson involving a third party deliberately setting the church on fire , such person needs to be arrested .

LASEMA already said investigations are underway and they will provide further updates as soon as they have them.

Amigoss:
No proper investigations on how and why fire happened,he don already concede say na devil cause am...smh

Abi. That’s what he would have his congregation believe .

It may be an accident or a case of negligence sef . Hopefully the fire fighters and LASEMA can come up with their own independent findings sha .

Normal level!

President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated better known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has said the fire incident at the church’s headquarters was not an accident but an avenue for bigger and better things.

He said this during a live Sunday service at the church’s campground, Asese, monitored by Vanguard.

He said, “Nothing happens in the life of a child of God by accident. During the 2001 Ikeja cantonment bombing incident, the building vibrated so much and we thought it was going to collapse. I thought to myself that if it collapsed I was going to build a bigger, better one. At the end of the day it didn’t collapse and we called the engineers to see if there was any need to bring it down and rebuild but it was still okay.

“Now that this has happened, we will build a bigger, better, and more glorious one and the devil will lick his wound.”

The men of the Lagos Fire Service were already on ground to rescue the situation at the time of this report and no life was reported lost.

Source: Vanguard News.

So apparently Christ Embassy was having a function at their campground in Asese , Ogun state while the fire incident happened at the headquarters in Oregun, Ikeja.

Alaye has said they will build a bigger one and “the devil will lick his wound”.

I saw it some pages back and wanted to respond but the spam bot kept banning me. I see that false and lazy narrative that Macaroni's skits objectify women and other talk that are just somehow to hear. I see it on Twitter and saw it here too.

The Motunde part I find amusing because most people at a certain age can relate to these things.

All I'm seeing is a guy passing different messages.

1. The initial discussion that day was about the funniest skit makers in the Nigerian social media space.

2. The truth is Macaroni is not anywhere close to one of the funniest skit makers in the Nigerian scocial media space. Individuals like Nasboi and Sabinus are well ahead of him when it comes to funny skits.

3. The closest to being funny Macaroni comes from his Professor Hard life series. Every other of his series including this Motunde own is monotonous and not funny; it is no different from nollywood movies some of us criticize for always having the same story lines.

4. Macaroni is a great actor, but certainly not a great comic act.

5. And yes! His Daddy wa series actually objectifies women. He can pass the same message he's passing without the camera focusing on the ladies asses, boobs and at times having the ladies make seductive gestures.

If u watch skit for humor like I do, most of his skits won't appeal to u. But if u watch skits for lessons hidden in fantasy while subtly promoting the craft of IG baddies, then maybe he will be one of ur favorite comic acts

So Ronaldo is the first player a pitch invader will come and meet, or he will be first to hug a child on the pitch??😹 Nothing bad in creating your own happiness bro🤡🤡

Ronaldo fans now celebrating their idol taking pishures with pitch invaders instead of their idol winning World Cup or another Balon D’or .

We have left them behind!

Hopefully lasg will go after those responsible for criminal negligence

We may see another wave of Bullshit from pastor Chris about how it was aliens or 5g that attacked the church

I’m patiently waiting for the LASEMA boss to give a briefing on their findings . I trust LASEMA to be on ground and to give an accurate update on what exactly happened .

If the pastor like, let him be claiming spiritual enemies or aliens attacked the church .

But I want to assume the church building should have automatic fire alarm and sprinkler system that would’ve alerted the occupants and make them have time to escape unhurt o.

Sometime early this year, one of the generators serving our office building had issues and almost caught fire . At the slightest smoke , the fire alarm just kept blaring . The facility managers came to each floor and made sure we all exited through the stairs as part of safety measures . I just hope they have something close to that in place at Christ embassy .

iamoyindamola:
I saw it
People are trolling Chris if he didn't see it in his vision
Mehn church money for months dan go

Me I’m more concerned about the lives of people that may be in he premises when the for started .

U remember how TB Joshua’s synagogue collapsed and so many people were trapped ( both Nigerians and foreigners ) ?

Na people’s lives really matter jare

omowolewa:
Humm!

Sympathy goes to Pastor Chris and the entire Christ Embassy Church. Some investments gone there.

Just hope Insurance would do the needed where safety and Emergency Responses failed.

Above all, God will not fail

That is if the leadership of the church are reasonable enough to insure the building and its contents .

Most churches in Nigeria do not have their premises insured ; they rely on faith and prayers for protection against unforeseen circumstances like this .

iamoyindamola:
I know this place very well, have entered it when we implemented ERP for the church
Hope no live casualties

Hopefully no life will be lost , but the fire is massive.

Christ Embassy headquarters at Oregun Ikeja is on fire

My own two cents is : As una Dey drag Arteta for allowing una favorites academy graduates leave , make una Dey drag Edu the DoF join.

I mean y’all agree Saka needs a deputy and I’ve been seeing a whole lot of names being suggested not Nelson and not academy graduates .

So let’s say Edu grants ur heart desires and signs one of the suggested deputy for Saka and we still have Viera on our books ; where does that leave ur prized academy prospects ?

Abi Arteta will sub Saka off for his newly signed deputy in the 70th minute, then sub that deputy off for Dubbery in the 84th minute ?

In this past season Arsenal had players like Smith-Rowe , Viera , Nelson, Nketiah , Elneny , Cedric etc who didn’t command starting shirt in UCL and EPL matches . It was only normal they get FA and Carabao Cup appearances .

I’m sure if Arteta had fielded an academy graduate line-up and we lost out in those cup matches we will all call for Arteta’s head for taking us back to Wenger’s last days at Arsenal .

I do not have any emotional attachment to any academy graduate. If the coach who trains with the player weekly feels an academy player can do better than a senior player in the team; I will support him 💯 and if he feels otherwise , he has my support .

I won’t support the club with the intention of criticizing every move of the coach when he has not committed seppuku

If Deschamps commot Rabiot for Camavinga or any other creative player will he die ?

If this game was AFCON in the early 2000’s, France would be checking Netherlands at for hidden juju

Anthony Taylor has done well with the officiating thus far . He has full concentration in this game .

There’s a way Saliba Dey hold attackers ,like police Dey hold pick-pocket caught in the act .

PDPGuy:
It looks like Abuja read my comment on this thread a few days ago, and decided to take heed to my advice on selling some of the presidential jets😁

Buhari also put the jets for sale and ended up not selling any of them . Let’s hope Tinubu’s government eventually sells them.

andrewbaba44:
Like why is the fool passing there ?

He just wasted their clear chance because he’s a coward who would not shoot

Rabiot be like those guys wey no Dey like take responsibilities 🤦‍♂️

I remember this game well well
Even though I wanted Korea to win I was clueless to what the ref was doing I never cared anyways.
Fvcking Italians 😂😂

I don’t remember watching this match because of the awkward timing of Korea-Japan , but I remembered the Portugal Vs Netherlands 2006. Almost everyone on the pitch copped either a yellow card or red card .

Blatter weyrey even trolled the ref that he should’ve given himself a yellow card for the officiating of the match 😂

izzou:
[color=royalblue]We don't need any law. The people themselves should be able to think!

I watched a reel where Buba Galadima was told that poor people are dying because of hardship, and he bluntly said "Let them die"

He went on to explain that the poor people are our problem, because they will sell their conscience, vote nonsense and then start wailing for the next 4 years.
[/color]

He is mad for blaming the people for the failure of the political class .

The fact that he even thinks like that shows most of them are so detached from reality of the common man in this country .

In the real sense of things , how many votes can politicians actually buy to win election ? Most times poor people vote for nonsense politicians not because of the money they flashed in their face but fraudulent campaign promises the politicians will later fail to fulfill.

For example Buba Galadima was Buhari’s wingman for years in the CPC . When CPC later merged with ACN and others to form APC; Buhari had his shot at presidency and campaigned making lots of promises that centered around change . A lot of people bought into it and for 8 years all Buhari did was either having Femi Adesina deny he ever made such promises or claiming he has done his best without any visible evidence .

How much money did Buhari spend to buy votes ? I can bet he didn’t spend 1/10 of what Jonathan had in the war chest in 2014/2015.

Even for governorship and house of assembly elections it is almost the same thing . U see a governorship or HOA candidate going to backwater riverine communities where they don’t have electricity , pipe borne water , schools etc . They go promise them social amenities when voted in. After election they renege on their promise and then use incumbency power to win re-election .

I believe the fraction of people who sell their vote for money cannot really win politicians elections , that’s why they resort to other gimmicks like introducing campaign promises they can’t fulfill , tribalism , religious sentiments , etc to get more voters to their side .

daveP:
They're probably demanding for some % of minutes and that may be s problem. Smh. Must we lose our talents till e taya us?

I doubt this is the case. It makes no sense for him to be demanding for minutes when he has couple of senior players ahead of him in the pecking order that are still hustling for minutes.

It will most likely have to do with money i.e. an improved contract Or maybe the club wants him to go on loan & he feels he should just leave to try his luck elsewhere.

monerozi5590:
This is what you wrote na! Please mention the other teams with less talented players

Lolz. It's either u chose to deliberately read that out of context or u just think u've found an escape route.

Okay let me break it down to u.

It makes no sense to be using Southgate's trophyless 8 year tenure to rate him simply because on paper it looks like he got better results than his predecessors; while in actual fact there are coaches like the Croatian coach who has done well with a less talented team within the same time frame.

Those are his contemporaries. Why are u scared of rating Southgate side by side with his competitors? Southgate has Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Saka, Walker, Stones, Palmer, Kane,Bellingham etc who are some of the best talents in World football as at today; Judge Southgate on what he's been able to do with them abeg.

monerozi5590:
If you outperform your predecessors, what's called?

Is Capello, who is a multiple Seria A winner mediocre? A Champions League winner! Is Goran Eriksson mediocre?

What did their so called golden generation of 2006 achieve?

And then again, mention the teams apart from Croatia which is even Debatable with less talented players that are outperforming Southgate?

Are u even listening to urself ? I should mention teams that are less talented but outperfroming Southgate?

What happen to Southgate with superstars at his disposal outperforming his contemporaries? Southgate has not even won UEFA Nations league with the plethora of talents at his disposal, but u dey enter history book comparing him with those that managed England 50 years ago.

Show workings abeg; I mean correct workings. Show what Southgate has been able to achieve while competing against his mates from other countries.

Na so una do support Buhari for 8 years till he wreck this country

monerozi5590:
The managers before him in the span of 50 years, what did they achieve?

There was a time England could not even qualify for Euros.

For 10 years before Southgate, England did win a Knockout game.

Southgate came and England made it to semis of two major tournaments back to back and made it to the final in one ( 2018 World Cup/ 2020 Euros). That's progress if you ask me.

The so called golden generation, what did they win?

That is not how to make a reasonable argument for how good a manager has been . You don’t go back to 50 years and start measuring the performance of current manager with that of his predecessors .

Instead , u check the performance of his competitors with similar crop of players and see how he’s fared . For example, the Croatia manager has been a more successful manager than Southgate ; and there’s no way u can convince me Southgate didn’t have more talented players at his beck and call within the same time frame.

The English FA would be fooolish to allow Southgate keep his job because he performed better than other mediocre English coaches in the past 50 years while other teams with less talented players are outperforming Southgate’s
