JASONjnr: E be like say na only Lagos deh experience massive projects and development...
This is making use of the population you have.
But also, the best thing to do to attract people to your state is having the opportunity to bring investors or building projects that will employ youths and or special universities like aviation or medical or engineering colleges with affordable tuitions to pull people from other states to your state.
Delta and Akwa Ibom state have these things put into place but having a good leader to utilise them is what they lack.
Same people Nigeria fought for and bankrolled before they got independence. Very hate filled country ,never seen any country with so callous set of citizens
God1000: What's wrong with south Africans, the way they are turning against their president because of that singular act is shocking, they simply can't tolerate anything that has to do with Nigeria
Nothing in this world will take me to south Africa
I don't understand, is it tinubu tax reform bill. So, after tinubu leaves office, it will still be tinubu tax bill ,so the bill is not for Nigerians but meant for tinubu. What kind of funny caption is this
The question is did you sell your car to survive ??
SmartPolician: With PMS price soaring from 500 per litre to 1k per litre and inflation pegged at over 33%, I don't even expect us to still import refined petroleum products because many people will have to sell their cars to survive.
The way some of you guys reason is so pathetic. So obaseki is not the cause, it's because APC that the guys got involved in human trafficing. So human trafficing is now a political party induced crime. Make some of Una dey try get sense for this social media. Small time if you can't impregnate your wife ,U will blame it on APC winning election. Face the story and stop distorting facts with politics.
Faber: Since APC won na so so bad news dey pop out from our dear Edo State...
News on crime and insecurity keep on coming out of Edo State daily, and APC is yet to be sworn in. Imo State was destabilized by APC Ebonyi State was also destabilized by APC, some people in Ebonyi State, have deserted their ancestral communities and are now living elsewhere ...
May be or May not be; the turn of Edo State... We pray they don't succeed
So it's Tpain that sent Hausa/edo boys to do organ harvesting. Make Una dey get sense sometimes online. Even if you can't impregnate your wife, u will blame Tpain too.
Davidic1999: Nigeria is bleeding under tpain's leadership
Is wike older than amaechi his master who is just 59 years ?
advanceDNA: That's the normal look of 70 years old man... they all doctor their ages forgetting old age will soon come and won't balance with the forged age
Meanwhile in pH it's 5 pieces for #200. That's like 5000 naira date in ph
LocalFARMERS: I bought half Mudu of Date fruit in Kaduna for #1,000. The full Mudu is 2k. Date fruit is a rare fruit that is mostly found in the North. It is also farmed in the far North.
-Date fruit have many nutritional benefits. One of it's major benefit is that, it is a natural VIAGRA. Eat 3 date fruits few hours before sex. You will last longer and your sex performance will be better. -It increase sex libido -It provides energy for sexual performance. -It improve Sperm count -Date fruit contains microelements like estrone and sterols which boost male fertility -It support the Brain, digestive and heart. -It protect against disease.
Tinubu want to make these government agencies non attractive. These agencies are serious conduit pipe for government officials. Very soon , people won't be fighting for government jobs again
Are you ok. What did obj use as a qualification for becoming Nigeria's president. With your A1 in English and first class, what have you achieved. Obaseki with PhD degree was a monumental failure. I rather choose f9 that can transform a state than an educated failure
Yaya bello was 39 years when he became a governor. Ask yourself ,did kogi get better. Being a good leader is not by age , even the youths have been proven to be worse leaders. Charity ,they say begin at home
Godwin4444: if we all can agree to vote younger people below 45 irrespective of tribe then things will b alright
Anyone above 50 should b out of it cos they are out in touch with reality
This is pure defamation. If police arrest and jail them, people will come out to say tinubu is wicked . As everybody dey craze for the naija ,make all man kuku join 😂
Nnpc bought dangote fuel at #746 . If you do 15% of 898, U will get #134. Take away #134 from #898, it gives #746. Now nnpc is currently making fuel been sold at #1100. I hate nnpc with every bone of my being
How can U call a man who won senate election relatively unknown. That man is a grassroot politician
emkz: Winners and Losers of Edo 2024 Governorship Elections
WINNERS
(1) Monday Okebholo: relatively unknown, somewhat demure and allegedly uncharismatic, he beat all odds and attacks over his alleged inability to speak English to take his message to the grassroots without a single media interview apart from a 9 minute interview he granted to Helen Oyibo of BBC.
(2) Osagie Ize-Iyamu: he was one of the earliest supporters of Monday Okpebholo and had stepped down from the race.
(3) Legacy PDP: they had felt sidelined by Obaseki and rightfully might have worked against their own party.
(4) Nyesom Wike: Governor Obaseki had publicly maliciously announced that Nyesom Wike would contest the PDP 2023 presidential ticket, and added a threat, "we shall see". Obaseki had also taken out an advert to lambast Nyesom Wike after Wike had called on the PDP to discipline Philip Shaibu when Shaibu had threatened to leave the party because Shaibu felt the new PDP members were not integrated into the party. Wike had sarcastically asked Shaibu: "who is his father?"
In the advert Obaseki took to blast Wike, he said Edo State did not accept political bullies and overlords. When crises began in Edo PDP towards the 2024 Edo elections, Obaseki had clandestinely accused Wike and Dan Orbih of legacy PDP of supporting Shaibu to destablize Edo PDP. When Obaseki made overtures for reconciliation with Wike, Wike had told Obaseki he could not support Obaseki's candidate as Obaseki was not known to be loyal to those who had supported him in the past.
(5) Adams Oshiomole: against advise, Adams Oshiomole foisted Obaseki on his team as his potential successor. Obaseki was Oshiomole's bestman during his wedding to the Cape verdian model. WIthin two years, Obaseki started fighting Oshiomole, who is also a fighter. The genesis of their fight was Obaseki feeling powerless as chief executive of Edo state and Oshiomole controlling the strings, especially federal appoinbtments. Adams Oshiomole used his position as party chairman to deny Obaseki the APC ticket. Obaseki decamped to PDP along with Philip Shaibu. The PDP insisted Obaseki dropped Shaibu and allow them nominate a deputy to which Obaseki responded that if he didn't run with his deputy, they could keep their ticket. He was allosed to run with Shaibu and with the support of Nyesom Wike, other Niger Delta Governos and the governor’s forum, he won the election. The APC Governors felt Adams Oshiomole was being too powerful as he almost humiliated their colleague, and this was one of the reasons they engineered his removal as APC national chairman. After the defeat, Adams Oshiomole licked his wounds and resurfaced against Obaseki in 2024 by taking a prominent role in Monday Okpebholo's campaign, despite not supporting Okpebholo before the primaries.
Oshomole'd surely be smiling now that he has his pound of flesh against Obaseki.
(6) Philip Shaibu: He was hurriedly impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly and his replacement was announced and sworn in without due process. During his crises with Governor Obaseki intigated by Philip Shaibu's decision to contest as Obaseki’s successor, Obaseki chased him out of his office within government house premises and bulldozed the fence of his residence. Obaseki also publicly rebuffed Shaibu's advances in public twice. Shaibu went to court to challenge his impeachment and the court established that due process was not followed. With Shaibu’s reinstatement, he decamped to the APC and worked against the PDP candidate, perceived to be Obaseki’s pointman. Shaibu was seen in a video celebrating along with APC party stalwarts and attended theur campaign.
(7) 16 members of Edo State House of Assembly: they were denied taking their seats by Governor Obaseki over their alleged loyalty to Obaseki's political foe, Adams Oshiomole. They'd be smiling that Obaseki’s candidate was defeated.
(8 ) APC National Chairman/APC: On 29th August, 2024, Umar Ganduje, the APC National Chairman had said that the APC would capture Edo state along with southeast states. Feelers from some quarters had said his position as party chair was being challenged. The Edo victory gives him bragging rights.
(9) President Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Some had argued that the Edo election results would be a litmus test of President Tinubu’s painful reforms acceptability. Now that the verdict is out, President Tinubu would heave a sigh of relief.
Honourable Mention:
(1) Dr Anugbum Omuoha, Edo State Resident Electoral Commission, Nyesom Wike's cousin, who was called on to INEC by PDP to be removed. INEC refused.
(2) DIG Frank Mba: the police security coordination was superb as vote buyers were arrested. DIG Mba also got Obaseki removed from the INEC state headquarters.
LOSERS
(1) Prince Emmanuel Odigie: famous for the phrase "daughter of zion Ayo" he directed at one of the anchors of the Arise News Morning Show, he had accused Monday Okpebholo of being unable to copy WASSCE answers in a special miracle center. He also accused Okpebholo of lacking the mental capacity to function at the global stage. He mooted the idea that the election would be rigged in favour of APC while President Tinubu would be out of the country. He remained in APC, rejected his appointment in the APC gubernatorial campaign council and made several media appearances against the APC candidate.
(2) Rufai Oseni, Reuben Abati and Ayo Maero Ese of Arise News: The duo of Rufai Oseni and Ayo Maero Ese had gone on twitter to insist Monday Okpebholo must present himself for an interview in their studio. This was the same card played by Rufai Oseni and Nduka Obaigbena against Tinubu to attend their debate and interview, which did not force the APC candidate's hand. Reuben Abati had said on their flagship Morning Show that they'd be willing to conduct the interview in pidgin or through an interpreter if Monday Okpebholo could not express himself in English language. Their permutations of controlling the tide in Edo elections have been punctured with APC's win.
(3) Governor Godwin Obaseki: Asue Ighodalo had the election on a platter, but for Governor Godwin Obaseki. All the enemies Obaseki managed to acquire for himself managed to coalesce and fight Obaseki. They were not against Asue Ighodalo per se, but wanted to take their pound of flesh from Obaseki.
(4) Asue Ighodalo: Asue Ighodalo left the comfort of his successful corporate board memberships to serve his people. He was well liked and well positioned for the win. He was confident and ran a well oiled campaign. All was going well until Obaseki got too involved and made controversial statements that damaged Asue's campaign. The threat of do or die and refusal to sign the peace accord did not behove well on Asue and Obaseki.
(5) Olumide Akpata: He was banking on the Peter Obi 2023 revolution which was not replicated in local elections.
Who we wanted to win at all costs:
The people of Edo State, and INEC. INEC needs to wake up. While polling unit results are being uploaded, also create a module in your collation software for results to be digitally entered, checked with the results sheets and create space to be ticked by the party agents and let the figures go to a central collation point. The media should be able to call election results based on these figures. This usual practice of talking results from wards to LGAS to the state collation centers is a Jega innovation. Ten years on, INEC is still doing things the old way.
What lawful police uses unregistered bus to make an arrest. Forget the story, those guys were on illegal duty. What happened to their patrol vans . Where was the warrant of arrest. Police were not even properly kitted. Some police should stop bringing embarrassment to the force name
Lifestone: I don't get, maybe there's something I'm missing. The Policemen were there to effect a lawful arrest, the suspect resisted arrest, so what should the Officers have done? In the USA, Police would have used Teasers on him and rendered him immobile. Anywhere in the World the issue would have escalated beyond this. From the video, the Officers here were professional, using minimal force.
