The present issues of concern in Edo are clearly avoidable and unnecessary.
Oshiomhole should face his job as the APC chair and Obaseki should be allowed to face his job as the Gov.
Oshiomhole has been Gov for 8yrs and he allegedly defeated godfatherism. So, why is he resurrecting god fatherism in Edo? If cabals give him heat in Abuja, will he survive?

I hate what I don't like...

Guilty of cause. He knows he is guilty, that's why he has been forming sick, dead in the court... In the name of justice, Justice Abang will surely bury him in jail.

eleojo23:
That's probably because he has an insurance policy somewhere that the EFCc doesn't know of

He definitely has a backup plan, maybe some cash locked somewhere belonging to him but in another parson's name which he will fall back on after his jail term.

In another person's name....and the person will give it to him "after he is out of jail"?

Enugu state?

You were making a little sense and then drifted away....
Are you ok?

Jonathan na lucky thief

He can come. The challenge is if he will finally participate in the funeral or na back to kuje

I want Michelle to contest the up coming US election

Bullion van?
What's wrong with bullion van?
Anyone is free to ask for a bullion van if they are withdrawing a large amount of money from the bank.
Some Nigerians are so dumb,using a bullion van can never be a crime,in fact there is no law in Nigeria that forbids people from using a bullion van.

You are part of the problem with Nigeria. We hereby donate you to Sudan

This is African mentality.... This is not about Mugabe or
Mnangagwa....a black man is always a black man. Abacha, Babangida, Obasanjo, Jonathan, Buhari are typical Nigerian examples

Inside life?

Is this PDP? The master of electoral fraud don dey fear to participate in election like the opposition feared some 12 to 20yrs ago?
No condition is permanent indeed

Inform police, sss and also go to customs office with proof of payment and talk to the customs guys yourself

Atiku, like El Rufai will never be president of Nigeria. I don't care what the marabouts tell Yerima, the highest he can go nationally is to be a senator or a minister

This is image tarnishing...well, Onyema has to respond and to clear himself. I wish this is fake news

omenka:
I feel so sorry for Obaseki. Looks like Ambode 2.0 in the making.

I must confess, I overestimated him and underestimated Oshiomole. Events of the recent past in Kogi and Bayelsa have taught me better.

APC did not win in Kogi and Bayelsa because of any Oshiomhole factor

OKorowanta:
A senator who has over 20 exotic cars!
And your district dey suffer steady!
Shame on Nigerian leaders..

Yet idiots are shouting "Dino is working, Dino is their man"

Na shameless men conference . The world is changing really

In the weeks leading up to the Jumia Mobile Week, a lot was said about the period that was expected to be one of great, uncommon deals. The week, fourth of its kind from the e-commerce company, came to a close on Sunday, March 25, 2018, recording thousands sales. Adverts were placed everywhere. Hardly could you surf the Internet without encountering flashy pictures of smart phones and accessories with one implied message: grab your copy now before it is too late!

We were told it was the biggest mobile event in Nigeria, with flash offers, special daily deals, discounts on over one million deals, low prices on tablets and accessories, and free delivery to select locations. We were told the week would not only feature discounted prices but the greatest deals you could get, better than what even Black Friday had to offer. We were told this was a rare opportunity to replace our boring devices or get our dream smart phones. But, motivated by these mouth-watering promises to surf generally through www., it turned out certain things just didn’t seem right.

A N60,000-WORTH SCREEN PROTECTOR?

At first sight, it appears as though what is offered for sale is Samsung Galaxy S6. The product name reads ‘Generic Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F Nillkin PE+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S6 G920F’, so maybe it is in fact a Samsung Galaxy S6 ‘+’ a tempered glass screen protector, because how else can the original price be N59,999? But no, what is really being sold is just a Nillkin PE+ screen protector that is custom-made for Samsung Galaxy S6.

Jumia claims the price to be N19,999, and that this is only after they deducted a whopping 67% from the actual price of N59,999. But the problem here is Nillkin screen protectors – and probably any kind of screen protectors – are really not that expensive. Exactly the same product is sold here for $21.08 (N7,600). AliExpress sells the same brand of glass screen protector but for LG G5, and it is $11.24 (N4,050) per piece. And on the website of Konga, another local company acquired by Zinox in February, what we have is N5,000 for Nillkin Tempered Full Cover Glass for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

It therefore appears the suspect product description achieves two purposes – one, give the impression of a discount when in fact the discounted price is quadruple what is found elsewhere; and second, mislead buyers into thinking what they are buying is a phone, and not just a screen protector for the same brand of phone.

A GENERATOR AND REFRIGERATOR FOR HALF THE PRICE? NOT SO FAST

Sellers on Jumia appear to often be in a cheerful and charitable mood – except that they sometimes exaggerate the level of charity given. A good example is this Sumec Firman Generator ECO 1990S. “It is originally N70,000. But we are giving it out at a discount of 44%, so pick it up for N39,500,” they seem to be telling the potential buyer cruising through the attractive website. But the buyer who is sceptical enough to do a simple Google search should discover the same product on Konga’s website going for N54,500.

On sale also is a Hisense Side-By-Side Refrigerator that has its price slashed by 45% from N350,000 to N192,600. Whereas, on Konga, the same product goes for N215,000, with the original price stated as N275,000.

MOBILE WEEK DEALS

It is not only items outside the scope of the recent mobile week that have their discount percentages suspiciously bloated. One example is this Generic M26 Bluetooth Smartwatch. On Jumia’s store, this product, part of the mobile week deals, sells for N4,480, after a 70% discount from the original price of N15,000. Again on Konga’s website, the same wristwatch is sold for N8,000. There is still a price cut worth more than N3,000; but the value of the product has been inflated, leaving the customer to think he has hit a jackpot of 70% discount, when in fact it is only 44%.

Another striking example, still under mobile week deals, is the sale of one product with two conflicting prices though on the same page (same row, in fact) of the website. It is the Universal S530 Mini Wireless Bluetooth In-ear Earphone Headset. Here it says the product is N3,500 but is sold at a discounted price of N2,549. And here, the original price is N3000 while the promo price is N1500.

NOT A BLACK SHEEP AMONG WHITE ONES

Consumers prefer patronising online stores to physical ones. One of the big reasons for this is that e-commerce companies often give out huge discounts and coupons. But these “gifts” are generally for good business reasons, not just because of charity or corporate social responsibility – or most times, not even at all. The strategy is adopted when a vendor wants to push slow-moving products or plans to get more customers, merchants, advertisers and investors, thereby giving competitors a tough time. And so they partner with the manufacturers to provide price cuts, or even consider them a temporary loss and investment.

Fictitious pricing, as the practice is called, is the questionable version and is a strategy adopted by companies across the world. It is an advertising tactic where discounts are offered based on a prior-reference price, whereas the advertiser had never offered the product for sale at that reference price. It is understandable why companies are increasingly embracing this strategy. According to a study published by the Harvard Business School, “fake list prices have a strong influence on purchase outcomes, with a 1-dollar increase in the list price having the same positive effect on purchase likelihood as a 77-cent decrease in the actual selling price”. But they certainly can have their downsides too: public scandals and law suits, to start with.

In 2015, Flipkart, India’s biggest online store, was at the centre of an embarrassing scandal when one of its products, a pair of canvera wedges, were put up at the discounted price of Rs399 and the original price stated as Rs799. There was only one problem: if you zoomed in for a closer view, you found a message from the manufacturer boldly written on the strap: Rs399 only. A customer noticed this self-contradiction and posted a snapshot on the company’s Facebook page. The company eventually suspended and blacklisted sellers found guilty of arbitrarily hiking product prices before tagging with a generous discount.

Jumia na scam finally. I bought like five items, I am not enjoying any presently...the worst of it all na the infinix hot s that damaged kn it's own beyond repair. Do I have to talk about the useless shoe I bought from their site or the nonsense kitchen ware or another one?
Never again will I use infinix phone and I am not sure I have business with Jumia: again

jahsharon:
Maina does not know Justice Okon Abang. Okon Abang is Nigeria's most ruthless judge. Even when Olisa Metuh "died" inside the Courtroom, Justice Abang waited for Metuh's resurrection and continued the case.

Lol

Okon Abang is the only judge PDP guys fear in Nigeria

Kikikii

You don't have a seat in the Senate. It is the Kogi West constituency that has a seat and whoever they elect to represent them will utilise their seat on their behalf.


You should know you have outlived your resourcefulness in the Senate....make you mind other things.

Saraki is now a spectator watching live football, basket ball matches etc. Follow him as you swore that you will never leave him even if everyone leaves him.

Inside life shia!!!
The man that wanted to be governor cannot even win a senatorial election?

jamesversion:
Buhari almost has a religious following in the North. It is safe to say he won election for APC. I don't expect you to contest that fact.

Bayelsa APC victory in all sincerity was more or less a protest against the Maladministration and perceived arrogance and needless disregard Dickson has for not only his constituents but the person of Goodluck Jonathan. I live in old Port Harcourt township, an area populated by Ijaws and the general consensus was irregardless of the fact that Dickson is very prominent in INC, they purposely decided to teach him a lesson to respect elders.

then @bolded, if you believe this Buhari's administration doesn't amount to a failure, then I pray someone runs your life the way Buhari is running Nigeria. Say an Amen if you will.

I don't contest that Buhari has a "religious following in the North" and still failed presidential elections three times!!!
The truth is that the level of incompetence, corruption and insecurity that characterized the failed Jonathan's presidency was enough campaign for the APC...all Nigerians including some PDP supporters wanted was a change!!!. If Atiku, Kwakwanso, Tambuwal had been the APC flag bearer in 2015, APC would have still defeated PDP. People who know, know. If you don't know, you can know now.
Don't tell me PDP lost because Dickson had no respect for elders. No!!! PDP failed because of Dickson's failed governorship. Same way PDP failed in 2015 due to the failed presidency of Jonathan. Had Dickson supported another candidate not related to him, against Jonathan's Timi Alaibe, PDP would have won APC. Allowing Diri, Dickson's cousin to succeed him was an insult too much to bear by Bayelsans. PDP can really win Bayelsa without Jonathan. Mind you, Dickson won his 2nd term against the Jonathans' wish while Jonathan and "mama trouble" were pulling the shots in Abuja!!!

I had expected you to reason like an adult. Your conclusion scores against your assumed maturity. Mind how you wobble between objectivity and subjectivity....as much as possible, be objective at all times.

jamesversion:
Are you now an all-knowing being to have already figured how 2023 will pan out. What assurances does APC have that they will turn out fine in the Absence of Buhari. Cos even an Idiot easily understand that Buhari on the Ballot is the reason for APC presidential victories on both occasions. APC should watch it.

I don't know what you know. I don't think Buhari was in Bayelsa to campaign for Lyon...yet APC defeated PDP whose flag bearer 's the incumbent Gov's cousin. In Kwara, Akwa Ibom, it didn't matter if Buhari was a flag bearer or not; to cut Saraki and Akpabio to size.
Besides, in 2019, like in 2015, we saw very many people who didn't vote for APC because Buhari was the flag bearer yet APC won PDP in both elections. Such is politics!!!
APC will win again in 2023... after their 16 yrs abysmal failure, why will PDP want to rule Nigeria again

Okoso1:
it'll be almost impossible for APC to take rivers unless Wike defects or decided to play GEJ

Last election in rivers was a proof

Even if river line fall to APC
ikweres will be hard to conquer

You are not very correct. APC had no candidate in the 2019 Rivers gubernatorial election. And it's all due to the Amaechi/Abe issues...Wike was already a goner until they disqualified APC from contesting the election. 2023 will be a different ball game and Wike knows that...he wont be in the Senate, he wont be Gov, he wont be a President, he wont be a VP, he wont be a party chair....he will just be Wike and he may even go to jail

What a dick!

id911:
No be David Lyon, na David PSG and Marseille...failure raise to power ten Lifeless one is deceiving this one he will rig for him, no be Niger Delta wey I dey

Guy how far?
"Lifeless one" no rig the election yet the man won. You sure say dem never commot Delta for the Niger?

Sylvia said, Abubakar said, Oshiomhole said, etc...

What did Mr David Lyon say?

Nonsense and ingredients

A man with basic education can do any job with proper training, guidance....allthe PhD holders that were governors and even president were not able to provide a better governance in the states and in our country.
