Very correct.

They are in the majority and abound here on this forum and our streets.

That's why their great grandfathers are not in retirement but still able to rule, lord over, and decide how they live theirs and their kids lives going forward even after all the education they pretend to have had.

I just tire.

Original frenemy.

Who needs an enemy with a friend like this " Benteke".

Captainrambo2:
God bless you my brother. To the infrastructure pls kindly add

Royal market road from mopol junction to ihumudumu. Including all the all the connecting roads about 13 in number.

Ujoenlen road and all the connecting streets

Ukpenu road.

Ambrose alli university.... building and of 4 new faculty buildings
This is something oshiomole refused to do for us,.. from ekpoma
Thanks.

When I enter my village for Irrua before the lockdown I even shock say any government fit remember our roads.

The last time we saw any government presence was in the Ali days.

This is apart from his work in the inner roads of Benin metropolis oh.

The Ugbor to Amagba road which runs through Ize Iyamu's house, Kabaka's house through Ize Iyamu's farm had been abandoned by the idiots in their time and the monies shared among their lazy thieving pseudo-political leaders arses but Obaseki came in and said enough of sharing the States common patrimony while infrastructural rot and thugs reign supreme in the State and that's his crime of not carrying the bastards along.

Na thunder go fire all of una

Unigrad:
From what I saw with my eyes and witnessed
TV road was done and completed by Obaseki.
5 junction Oshiomole did was so bad immediately he left government, Governor Obaseki later fix it and is without potholes now.
The road in front of police station in Ring road was worked on again by Governor Obaseki because the one Oshiomole did gone bad with potholes.
I drove through lucky way some weeks ago, the road is now perfectly motorable compare to Oshiomole time when the road was terribly bad.
Ekehuan road to Ekehuan barack is seriously under construction.
Emokpae primary school, some schools in ugbowo was renovated by Governor Obaseki.
I passed through central park a day ago, work is seriously ongoing there.
No worker in the state have been owed salary or salaries.
Obaseki removed multiple taxing in form of ticketing.
Ogba Stadium has a new and standard look now
I can't not lie because of politics because I'm non partisan, almost all the works Oshiomole did were substandard in quality, almost all of them is nowhere to be found.
You can't expect 100% from humans, though have not benefitted from Obaseki government directly but indirectly, he tried in his administration in Edo State. God forbid he doesn't get the ticket, I will use the election day to sleep because I'm not seeing any other candidate both in APC and PDP that can surpass Obaseki's achievement.
Take this to heart
Tony Kabaka celebrated he worth #1B few years ago, where did he got the money from? What was his worth before Oshiomole?
If you are from Benin City in Edo State, you will know what I'm talking about.
Oshiomole is fighting for his relevance and political children like Kabaka, henry idiagbon, Samson Osagie etc. By the grace of God, they will all fail.
Samson Osagie and Tony Kabaka have said it severally that they are fighting Obaseki because he refused to recognize politicians in the state. God forbid I support the status quo that had robbed the state of necessary development.
Lastly, go check siluko road that Oshiomole did, you will think that road is 30years.
Road the roads Oshiomole was 4years lifespan with billions of Naira. Where is the #30B he borrowed from world bank for water storm project? Where did he got his money to build his mansion in Iyamho?
These are the few questions we need to ask.
Thank you.

Loud it.

The good thing is that these projects are out there in the open.

Even the ugbor to Amagba road which Lucky and Ize-Iyamu embezzled and abandoned even though the road leads through Ize-Iyamu's house down to his farm, Obaseki still looked beyond politics and is working on it.

A very useless set of idiots.

Idiots...

https://www.nairaland.com/5905486/mention-10-things-obaseki-did#90338538

Kids with internet accessible phones now think they understand politics based on their emotional attachments.

The person you guys are clapping for and hailing for instituting this silly and baseless suit had been a governor of the same state. Do you know his only rise to fame? He rose to fame as a tailor who later became a union leader at a textile mill before becoming a national union leader which gave him a platform to wishy wash everyone into thinking he had the ordinary man on the street at heart. Go as what school he graduated from.

While the person the suit is being instituted against built a blue chip company (Afrinvest) from the ground up and still functional even while he is governing. Google the company.

Isn't the above ironic?

Isn't it also ironic that Yeye Bello of Kogi State would get a second term unopposed under the same Oshiomole and you think the betterment of the state is at the heart of it all?

Obaseki can conveniently get back to the corporate world and continue his life but the youths who are clapping for their oppressors are indeed a joke, and I love how Obaseki isn't backing down. He is out to make a statement.

Let's watch and see how it all goes.

If Oshiomole who is from a minority ethnic group in the State thinks he can use other Binis to usurp Obaseki and enjoy the spoils of war thereafter na laugh I dey laugh.

Wetin him eye go see ehn this one na small thing.

Yeye Bello deserved a second term unopposed for his marvelous works to the Kogi people going by Oshiomole's standards, while Obaseki doesn't deserve a second try for his failures in Edo State.

God go show all of una say una be mere mortals.

Enemies of States.

fairfora:
in as much as there are veritable information and discovery brought about by science, some claims cannot be substantiated. Example of this the dinosaur era.

There are a couple of baobab trees in south Africa which are over 4,000 years old. The trees are still waxing strong. There were dangerous animals that are now in extinction but not as old as some scientists had exaggerated.

Some of them out of their myopic minds posited that, when Israel left the Egypt, the red sea was shallow and that was why they didn't get drowned at the time of crossing and my question is, why did the same red sea swallow pharaoh, his army and chariots in same red sea? Till date, they've not been able to find an answer to that. I respect science which I'm a part of but some claims dont just make sense.

I agree with you in all totality.

darediamond:

Immediately I see the tittle of this thread, I click am kia to come shine teeth because I know people like you would have readily prepare food for people like me . Thank you oooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See ya head and teeth. Lol

Hmmm

This one na, " I will deal with you roforofo kinda fight".

I don kukuma accept say 2020 na only 3 months e carry.

It is well and we still thank God for life.

As simple as A, B, and C.

Very good.

Stupid and a disgusting pedophile.

I wished he had been nabbed with this image on his phone at any of the European or American airports.

Bighead9:
Oga, stop this long gramma. List 10 things Obaseki did in Edo state since he asume office.

Right from when Obaseki took over the reins of government up until now, I hope you know that his brainchild and company he founded (Afrinvest) is still very much functional and doing well, that should tell you something if you had any grey matter up your skull indeed. You might want to google Afrinvest.

I am dead sure and convinced that it wouldn't cost Obaseki anything to abandon you and your hopelessnesses to your lots and enslavement by your oppressors and return to the corporate world to continue his quiet life, but no, he chose not to quit without a fight just to prove a point which you knuckleheads will never understand.

Isn't it funny that a Governor as hardworking as Yeye Bello would be returned unopposed to the Kogi people by Oshiomole while Obaseki who has looted Edo dry must not come back for re-election?

I sorry for una life.

Na Lucky Igbinedion and dem Ize Iyamu sabi handle una stupidity.

Bighead9:
Pastor İze Iyamu has never ruled Edo state as Governor, so we can't judge him. But Obaseki has wasted 4 years with nothing to show for it. He presently use Federal Government projects to campaign, cause he has no project of his own.

I dare any Obaseki supporter out there, to mention only 10 projects Obaseki has done.

These are the same people who'd tell you Buhari and the FG haven't done jack in Edo State whenever the argument suits them.

The truth is, the people fighting for y'all to get free from the shackles of evil people in power are ironically a million times better than y'all and would have no problems surviving under whatever conditions you lots would rightly find yourselves.

Let's hope the scales will fall off you guys eyes soonest to understand that it is your future and state at stake.

spinreel:
True Sir! I was born and bred in Benin. The difference between a Technocrat (especially those who have excelled in different spheres over time) and a career politician, is as clear as day; at least in Edo politics. When you compare Ambrose Ali, Oshiomole (especially his first tenure) and Obaseki, with Lucky Igbinedion; you'd understand exactly what I'm talking about; and the the drum of retrogression some people are beating in Edo State.
Ize Iyamu may only be a Better Party Man, but definitely CANNOT be a better Governor than Obaseki. We all know it, the Binis Know it, even Oshiomole Knows it.
But the question is, would he insist on trading the 'sanity', industrial drive, and technological revolution Edolites now enjoy just to massage his ego and erode his legacy?
Time will tell.

I have absolutely nothing to add or remove from your submission as you had simply nailed and stated it as it is.

Kudos!

Daring to be different. To what end? We never can tell.

Binikingdowm:
As I was reading this, it made me realize obaseki need to go, he has failed.

No single major project completed in Edo state

Yeah, he has to go, agreed.

Now, take your time and enumerate what the people you want to "come' had done in their time let's compare and contrast.

A very simple task.

spinreel:
Insightful! You failed to mention the mass recruitment of Edo indigenes into the Civil Service; the first of it's kind since 1999, compared to the back-end dealings of past administrations in this regard.
One thing that seem clear to me is Edo State won't fair better under an 'every day politician'; at least not the band they have now

My brother, I'm close to tears reading your submission and to see the nonsense being played out while the so-called tomorrow's future (the youths) unashamedly take sides with their oppressors.

It hurts so very much to know that the people one would seem to have been rescuing from the shackles of evil leaders are the same people who'd be beating the drums for one's downfall.

If you are conversant with just the centre of Benin city, you'd agree to the difference in it now and in the past as it relates to the inner roads.

So so painful aswear.

donbachi:
And the winner is!!!

DADDYTIME.

E be like say dem never read finish.

I see dem kids with zero life experiences running amok all over in support of their original enemies because they have no idea what is truly happening even right before their eyes.

It is indeed a shame, a classic case of Stockholm syndrome, and a shame on the average Nigerian youth.

Helineus, I've seen you on several threads supporting Oshiomole and jubilatingabout how Obaseki deserves to be disgraced.

Would you be kind enough to tell us his sins and why Oshiomole is the State's Savior?

Bighead9:
No long stories, I challenge anyone to mention 10 things Obaseki did in the past 4 years as the Governor of Edo State and I'll transfer 5k to you in seconds.

When you are done reading, kindly enumerate 10 things Oshiomole, Lucky, and by extension Ize Iyamu did for the same State while they held sway.

After that, do well to point out Obaseki's sins.

I honestly want to know what he did wrong. I am mon-partisan, whatever will grow Edo is all I'm up for.

Thanks, and save your 5k.

H

Lol

Mark Zuckerberg would come to his rescue with Facebook.

Roaches Okorocha, please, help me give them a little of the formula you used in decimating poverty in Imo State.

Sense will not kill you smart man.

He has done more than Lucky and Oshiomole combined. His only sin is that he isn't opening the State coffers for them lazy career politicians to share from every month while their thugs run amok in a free for all playing revenue collection roles and turning billionaires overnight at the back of the state's revenue.

Foolish people.

I see so many kids and Stockholm syndrome infected youths here defending their very oppressors.

Just ask them one seemingly easy and simple question of " what did Obaseki do wrong"? Only then will you understand why Nigeria is in the state that it is.

Instead of them to move their lazy arses out into the farmlands all over Edo this planting season, they will seat in one plàce and be waiting for government handouts.

Idiotic fellows.

I haven't being to Benin in a while, but the last time I was there, most of what is written up there stares you right in the face with no need for anyone to interpret them to you.

This one na mumu oo

How you go feel if somebody go look your papa finish come call am mumu?

Comrades at stealing.

They are always unified against the populace who are in the majority and the system supports them.

I pity mine and our kid's generation.

There is still time to take charge, do something, and strip down this shameless system by building ours gradually and a country we can confidently call ours.

Rwanda had done it in less than 25 years, we too can do it if only we'll see beyond that which they have deliberately set up to cause rifts and divisions among us.

How can a group of tops 20,000 evil people continually dictate and run the lives of millions unabated if not for a skewed system deliberately put in place to this end?

With just a few like and sane minds, we can get a movement going, give these idiots a good run for their money even in 2023.

110 Million years ago. Wonderfulment.

Dinosaur even senior Jesus Christ.

Una wehdone

Neither here nor there regime.

Even confusion himself don confuse for this matter.
