Vanity. Whatever power those that killed him were looking for, am sure they have realised that it certainly was not worth it. Power is transient but actions follows you forever. Both hired and the payers will never find peace because they took what they can't create. Curse on them.

Story. Only you talk about closing your company...the same you still looking for a job for over 4 months and you claim to be a doctor. I just feel like this lady is just catching cruise. Tell her to come and start the farm work in Nigeria now....you won't hear from her again. Don't believe everything you read online.

Is it not when people have the money to purchase what they want that they can go and queue for it ? Common sense should tell you that when there is not much demand, queue is bound to reduce. It is clear to even the blind that Nigerians are suffering. Even the president acknowledged it in his media chat but paid followers just have to work overtime for their stipends. Pathetic

Bleep I just won FTC after joining since 2014.


WOW ending the year on high note and starting 2025 on a higher note .


Thank you Jesus

I find this hilarious. FTc means ending the year on a high? I don't want to imagine what you have been going through...but don't take it to heart.
Real meaniful success will locate you. Just believe.

VanuatuWycombe:
I read it somewhere on Nairaland that they were sacked by counselors not the governor.

So all 18 Chairmen were impeached by their respective counselors at the same time? if that is the case, then something is fishy and I think there is a higher power involved.

If only benin Republic and Inec will read this thread.

Waste of time

VULCAN:
The good thing is that everyone who lives in Nigeria has had negative experiences with police.

Unless you were born with a silver spoon from a very powerful family.

Even you who is here defending nonsense have had negative experiences with them.

But you are a paid APC urchin so you are duty bound to defend the indefensible.

But I'm sure you or your loved one will experience Nigerian police in all their glory before the New Year. Lol

Don't mind them. They never see anything wrong in the system until it happens to them directly...and they think that's the meaning of been patriotic. People like them are the reason why governments agencies like the police will never change. With comments like that why will they want to improve? Either he is a paid supporter or he just decided to be delusional. .... shameful the kind of people in this country.

Shameless

The dead body head was tilted to the right at the beginning. Just before he was brought back to life he was now looking upright. Pastors have turned Christianity into a comedy for mockery. I don't blame them. Na their members I blame.

Please does anyone know the price for Samsung galaxy fold 5 front screen?

Omoluabi16:
Extravagant living. That was his downfall.

Sometimes I just wonder why many people can't just live a quiet lifestyle that won't draw attention. I know of a certain young man who is a very comfortable. He travels all over the world and have many businesses here in the UK. But you won't hear his name anywhere in social circles. You won't even know he is that rich. He lives his life like he does not exist. Tell me how will attention be on him if he pays his tax and does the little thing right? Just mind your business and live a quiet life. You will hardly face issues

That hardwork or effort you refused to do to better your life in your youthfulness, life will make you go through triple the pain of that effort in your later life with lots of regrets and yet less satisfaction.


Simply means....

Put in the work today and enjoy the reward all through the rest of your life. Time will pass anyway, just don't let it pass while you are stagnant.

2. Never look down on anyone..a minute can change a man's situation.

3. A man is never finished until he decides that he is finished.

At this point, we should all be concerned about the will of the people been subverted for personal gain of some few individuals. The ideal of condemning any report that go against who and what you believe in should be secondary. True patriotism is not all about supporting the government of the day. It should be about intricately analysing how they are ruling the country with a view to help make it greater.
Tampering with the people's will in elections will spell doom for the future of democracy in the country. Such allegations be critically examined rather than waved off by anyone just because your person is in power. Nigeria belongs to us all. Whatever makes it greater should be our focus.

Actions will speak louder than replying to all allegations. NNPC show your doings!! Stop talking.

Paraman:
It's a lie

I don't doubt his story. I had an uncle who was a mere commissioner under one governor in Edo state .I know how he started spending money buying properties and high value cars within 6 months. That man literally became a billionaire before the end of Their tenure. He had many investments especially in real estate. Someone that had only one old Peugeot 504 before he became commissioner. He bought one hummer jeep for his mum during that era when hummer was in vogue this politicians are heartless criminals. They don't care about you.

Who takes statisense seriously? They should reveal how they conduct their research.
Until then. All I see is beer parlour figures

Shattuck:
I apologise if my comment may appear insultive, my take on obaseki is this, I want issues about him to be judged singular in the case with the palace I think he was wrong on that, that's just it, now just because he was wrong on that does not for me serve as a justification to just about any accusation from any other individual, let me be practical a bit, when they talk about obaseki and the betrayal thing they talk about how he betrayed his deputy, but for me that wasn't betrayal at all shaibu governorship ambition was wrong and unfair to edo central, how then did he betray shaibu, I am non partisan as it relates to politics I know he has quite a long list of aggrieved person's even in his party, yes maybe he has a character flaw, I just have a problem with the narrative that sometimes folks ,most especially Apc folks use to gaslight the masses by making folks like shaibu, oshiomhole, wike to look like victims, they will tell you osinbajo betrayed Tinubu, by running for president, igbos betray Tinubu by not voting for him in the last ekection, if you live in Lagos and you do not support Tinubu or Apc then you are a betrayer, the word betrayer as it relates to Nigerian politics for me just sounds like a word used to justify slavery and gaslight individuals against having personal ambition or say against a suppose godfather, the same issue is playing out in Rivers State you see how fubara is getting lots of support, against wike,but there are certain folks who desperately try to paint wike as the victim. In context when you look at the US elections Joe Biden wanted to run for a second term, George clonney met with Obama, and Obama applied pressure on Biden to drop out of the race, due to Biden health and poor debatethis is the same Biden who was vice to Obama, Americans and democrats never said how Obama betrayed biden, because Obama's concern was fair and valid.

This your analysis is spot on. I do not believe in the definition of betrayal as in the instance you gave. That's flawed loyalty supporters show to politicians. It also has some tribal undertone. I only called him a betrayal because of his many battles with those who helped him to rise. I believe there were some agreement in place which he agreed to before he was supported. Weather these agreements were right or wrong is a matter for another day. He reneged on them once he got what he wanted. He did it to APC and again in PDP. He is courageous but in Nigeria where politics is about feeding fat on the common patrimony by party chieftains.. those who invested in his election will feel betrayed. That's why I called him a betrayal....and he does not know when to draw the line like in the case of the Oba. I also know obaseki is not a career politician that's why he did most of the things he did. We need more non career politicians like him and Sim Fubara so that Godfathers will cease to exist in Nigeria politics.

Shattuck:
you don't get my point obviously, the whole " serial betrayal" thing is just some bullshit that has been spread and folks like you just echo it without even analysing it yourselves, tell me how did he betray shaibu? By your understanding of politics was it shaibu's turn to become governor? When it was obviously Edo central's turn, how did he betray oshiomhole also, oshiomhole wanted to give him the ambode treatment if you were in his position would you not fight, even after he decamped to the pdp he still reached out to oshiomhole several times, he invited him for events even awarded him, he never maligned oshiomhole in public or fight him the way some do by destroying their houses, who else did he betray, you all misunderstand obaseki's personality, obudu oshiomhole's deputy had intentions then of succeeding oshiomhole, but oshiomhole opposed him, why is oshiomhole not called a betrayer? A man must have its own conviction, and betrayer for me, I based on principles, imagine wike saying obaseki betrayed him, if you ask the idiot how, you will see it was because obaseki did not join him his aso ebi G 5 or whatever, did obaseki betray the pdp? No. So if obaseki had joined wike in his madness, I guess you would not call him a betrayer then, but if he had done that he would have betrayed the pdp, in that case who should he be loyal to? Is it not right that he was loyal to the pdp rather than wike? Yet you all still call him betrayer? The only thing you hate is for people you have helped to even have a opinion or say in anything, for people like you you believe that once you have received any help, that individual owns you, your thoughts, your actions your opinion and everything isn't that slavery and foolishness.

I have gone through your post and have seen that you have a soft spot for obaseki. He did well generally in governance but his way of playing politics is too arrogant and self destructive. I like him too and actually wanted him to win but you are allowing your likeness for him to overshadow his short coming. You want to potray him as a saint When you know he is flawed in his relationship with people around him. When a particular issues keep happening between one person and several people..then it is time to look inward. Obaseki might have his own conviction but his antecedents will not inspire anyone to take a chance on him in future. Separate emotional attachment from your view of him and you will see how power drunk he was. For instance...in the issue of the Oba concerning the returned artefacts..what was he trying to prove? Apart from showing that he has the power to hold on to those items? The problem with the way we play our politics is that once we like someone...we feel they can never be wrong. Just answer this simple question... do you think any party will support someone like obaseki for any political position again? Be frank with yourself.


And a little advice for you....Learn to outline your opinions without littering it with insultive words. It makes no difference to your argument apart from brewing bitterness

Shattuck:
and the people he fought has anyone come out to tell you why he fought them, it's pathetic when I see grown men repeating these lines, it appears to me like you guys can't reason for yourselves, aside the disagreement with the palace, one thing you can't please everyone especially when you are in power, when he fought oshiomhole, if obaseki was wrong why didn't oshiomhole come out and tell Edo people how he was betrayed, why hasn't any of them done the same.

MR man.. you are missing the point. In politics everyone makes concession. He left APC in acrimonious circumstances...same thing happened in PDP where he divided the party. Even his deputy who put his polical career on the line for him during his travails with APC ...what did he repay him with? If one person keep having problems with everyone else..does it mean he is always right? And you think everyone will have the time to come out and say he did something t o them? The man is a serial betrayal. He is a bad politician. I have nothing against him because I think he performed well as a governor but he must learn to make little concessions as a politician or he should remain in the private sector.

Sermwell:
Obaseki served his full 8 years, I hope you know that?

Yes....using two different parties. APC and PDP. I hope you know what he did to both parties that gave him their platforms?

Obaseki was busy fighting everyone. People should learn that power is transient. Use your power wisely while looking ahead to when that same power is gone. One thing is certain...no one will support obaseki for any elective positionhe wants to vie for. He is not a trusted ally. His distrust by Edo people sort of effected his candidate.

MadamVanessa:



When an illiterate president appoints fellow illiterate of his own class to positions in his illiterate government, this is always the out come.

Non of the person working for the Iragbiji fraud is learned. Government of the touts and agberos.

I am not In support of this government but Sunday dare is not an illiterate. He obviously made a mistake or it could just be a case of him moving with the wrong crowd and then getting their inefficiency rubbing off on him. Sunday dare is too big for this mistake sha.

No

His loss just increased abit more

Am not surprised she is a bini girl

IbeOkehie:
This is a Black African government doing this to other Black Africans, most likely migrants.

Where are the coddled cry babies of US & UK? Make sure to go and protest this one. Don't be silent.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

You obviously don't have the full information.

God1000:
What do we call the action of south African government refusing to help in the rescue operation

They are not trapped..they refused to come out because of fear of been arrested. Their lives are in their hands.

I support the SA government on this. It is not like the miners are trapped. They knew they were embarking on an illegal operation. They will only stay if they prefer to die rather than be arrested. Their choice...their life.

All this scam people. I was just scrolling on palmpay when I mistakenly touched loan of 20k and was immediately approved. I decided to return the money back immediately. The interest was about 5k or 8k( am not sure) for something that was less than a minute. I was even told if I told pay back in 3 days ..it will yield more more interest of about 10k. The thing shock me.

The same lie buhari sold Nigerians for 8 years.
