The useless thief must have hoarded them and must have been selling them in bits, just as his fellow evil politicians did with the palliatives. Set of useless criminals in government.

So it's southwest media that report the oyingbo Massacre or the Enugu massacre
Na wa ooooo

How stupid can people get?
The more you spoil the image of the Nation the more it affects you and everyone with the Nigerian passport

Don't mind the yoruba people

Too much jelousy and envy

The senators and house of rep members from the south east are the best in the world

Ekweremedu for president

Biafra...out of the window
Time for the youth to take over....inside a pit

Hope....

Those who want to kill themselves on Tinubu matter can now see.....

A God fearing politician
A man after God's heart
A man of the people.....


Continue dragging Tinubu.....
If not for Tinubu.....
Ekweremedu senatorial district would have the best hospital and schools.
But Tinubu didn't not allow

I think it's best to ask the Ministry of power using the FOI bill
Write to either Salman or the PS of that ministry

Then send a copy to major newspapers and on the social media...


See how they respond like they are been chased

Since we have agreed

Let leave this Generation and moved on to better things
Instead of celebrating Fools like Bode George , fani kayode or Tinubu

some idiots will condem Tinubu and in the same breath be praising Wike

its hypocrisy

Tinubu is a devil
No questions asked


But Bode George was deputy vice chairman of the PDP for 16 years....
What is his contribution to Lagos/ what project did he attract to Lagos

He was at the NPA...what was his contribution to Lagos?

He was the Military Administrator of Ondo...

Ask him what he did in Ondo.


If Bode George dies today ....what is his legacy....what did he leave behind?

Apart from exchanging Insult with people like Fayose and co...


If Bode George dies today... God forbids...
It's tinubuphobia that killed him

Watch as people avoid this thread

Baba ,,,,,dont bother

This is not important.....

if the news goes the other way,,,,,then you see floods

You people condemning the post are retarded..

Why don't you bring points to counter it?

Afonjaz coward can't even do anything, they'll rather consume rat poison

Who is a coward?

The one who kills himself(as you say) or the one who ran away to ivory coast dressed like a woman

EDO STATE 2020: TORGBA vs TORKPA!

Ahead of the gubernatorial election slated for September 19 2020, Edo State has been divided into two halves – The “Torgba” (Bini for “must complete”) against The “Torkpa” (Bini for “must leave”).
So that on the one hand is the Pro-Obaseki group, who insist that his two terms must be completed (“Torgba”) because he has done well for the state. As against the Pro-Ize-Iyamu group (which technically is the Pro-Oshiomole group), who are of the opinion that the governor must leave (“Torkpa”) because (the comrade says so), he has not done well.
The polity is heated and the players have taken to the field of play.

In any given political situation, drama plays a huge and vital role in the characterisation of political actors.
Any politics devoid of drama is no politics at all.

However, no one anticipated the current situation in Edo politics four years ago.
The plot twist in the state's election this year is left the most sagacious of politicians maniacally bewildered and transmorgrified (apologies to Barr. Obahiagbon)

At the last election in September 2016, the then Governor of the state – Comrade Adams Oshiomole, under the “umbrella” of the All Progressive Congress (APC), against the run of play, literally handed over the keys to Osadebe Avenue, to a politically unknown figure as against other obvious choices for example, Mr. Pius Odubu, his deputy for 8 years.
Oshiomole would go all out against the main contender in that election – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu (POI).

The build-up to that election was fraught with a lot of name-calling, allegations, counter-allegations and other political gimmicks. The rest, like they say, is now history.

Fast forward four years later and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is the flagbearer for the APC with Comrade Adams Oshiomole beside him, armed with name-calling and poorly-thought outbursts, but now against his successor – Governor Godwin Obaseki, who is now the flag bearer for PDP.
One thing is sure, whosoever is the angel in heaven that wrote the script that is playing out in the state politics currently, has a flare for drama.

For those on the outside, it is difficult to tell exactly when the first scene that would ultimately culminate in this point, played out.

However the cracks became visible when in June 2019, 19 members-elect of the Edo State House of Assembly protested the Governor’s non-proclamation to pave way for their inauguration. Few hours later, only 9 members out of 24 were available when the House was inaugurated in the early hours of morning.
It was a deft move only a few saw coming.
While some have challenged the legality of the action, others have challenged the morality of the action.
It was also probably the “point of no return” in the already strained relationship between the Governor and his predecessor.

From this point on, it was moves upon moves between the self-professed godfather-slayer (Oshiomole) and his erstwhile godson (Obaseki) to outdo each other in the race to control the party at the state level.

In July 2019, the Governor would go on to sack eight of his commissioners who were allegedly loyal to the comrade.
In November 2019, following a vote of no confidence passed by 18 chairmen of the state’s local government area chapters; Comrade Adams Oshiomole (APC National Chairman at the time) was suspended by the APC in Edo State.
Also in November, an emergency caucus meeting believed to be for reconciliation was held by members of the APC South-South zone with both Comrade Adams and Governor Obaseki.
The following month, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu would join APC officially.
In June 2020, Governor Obaseki was disqualified from the APC governorship primaries on the basis of inconsistencies in his academic credentials.
Few days later, the Court of Appeal affirms the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomole as APC National Chairman. June 16, 2020 after meeting with President Buhari in Abuja, Governor Obaseki resigned from APC. Shortly after, his deputy, Philip Shaibu, followed suit.
Three days later, he joined the opposition, PDP.
And now here we are.

It has been an interesting roller-coaster with a lot of intrigues and suspense. One, that political groupies live for.
It would not be out of place to posit that the politicking and changes that have taken place from 2019 till date in Edo State has been as ravaging as the COVID-19 pandemic or in the very least close enough.
We have men and women who were loyal to and supported the Governor while he was still in APC but cannot now (at least not publicly) neither can they leave to PDP because of their positions amongst other reasons.
On the other hand, there are those originally opposed to the Governor in PDP that are now forced to support him (at least publicly).

Aside this confusion, there is also the plethora of arguments now in the polity. This article aims at addressing some of them amongst other issues arising.


For starters, there is the argument that when the distinguished comrade sold the current Governor to the people of Edo State in 2016, it was not godfatherism. Suddenly because he has pitched his tent elsewhere, the same action now is godfatherism.
I understand why this argument may seem like one that holds water.
The distinction however lies in the fact that in 2016 as the outgoing Governor, the Comrade had the moral right, in the interest of continuity to say to Edolites – “Although I’ve not been perfect as a governor, I think I’ve done better than my predecessor. I believe in this person, I’m confident that he would do better than me also as my successor.” Consequently, based on his antecedents the people would either oblige him or refuse same.
And that was more or less how things played out in 2016.
The moment that was done, it is expected that the Comrade cease active involvement in State politics in other not to be found preempting the Governor. Sad to say, that never happened.

Four years later, the question that begs answering is – “On what ground is the Comrade standing on to market a particular candidate to the people of Edo State?”

It is striking and instructive to note that, in all the accusations and propaganda flying around currently, nobody has accused the Governor of embezzling state funds or “bad governance.”

In stating his case against the Governor, the Comrade, the defacto contender with the Governor has said, one of the reasons he is asking for the Governor’s removal is because, “he has been awarding contracts to people in Lagos state and he has been signing MOUs everywhere.”
Seeing as signing of MOUs and bringing competent Edo people from Lagos is not illegal, I do not think that the governor has done anything wrong here.
The question to ask is, has the governor's strategy worked? The promises the governor made in 2016,have they been fulfilled? If they haven't, what percentage of completion have they reached?
Those are the questions to ask but politics is not a game of reason. Sadly, it is a game of emotions and perhaps crass psychology.

As stated earlier, the governor has not been accused of bad governance. Rather, he is been accused of replacing an unsustainable system with one that is promising.
A tour round the state would reveal a stark difference in approach to governance. I dare say that it is not perfect but it sure is a good start.

How the fact that a Governor feels his people deserves nothing but the best and has decided to go anywhere, even outside the state to ensure that they get that would translate to one of the reasons for his removal will remain ever confusing for me.
Are we going to pretend like Lagos is not the leading state in this country? It is an incontrovertible fact that Lagos is a national standard (to a large extent) for measuring development in Nigeria.

Even if the allegation is true, the question that necessity lays on us to ask is – “Is the standard of governance, the award of contracts to indigenous contractors or the development of the state?” Yes, I’d concede that it would be lovely if we can have both but in a situation where we have to chose, which of us, well-meaning people would not pick the development of the state?

The issue of signing memorandums of understanding is one I find very difficult to broach, seeing as I do not understand if it’s supposed to be a compliment or an invective. If it’s the later, it’s not one that was not carefully thought out.

The comrade has been quick to say publicly that he made a mistake with his support of the current Governor in 2016. It takes a brave man to admit when he has made a mistake. However, we cannot ignore the fact that it takes a lot of thought, consultations, time and due diligence before one picks his successor especially for a Governor.
To opine now that, that choice as a mistake, shows one of or two things – that the comrade is not a good judge of character or that he is a political liar.
Both or either of these disqualifies him from the mantle he has taken up in this election.

Naturally to approbate and then reprobate, raises questions. Questions that if we ever find the courage to ask, we would ask the distinguished comrade – What assurance do the good people of Edo State have that he is not making a mistake with the candidature of POI, now? Did he lie against the Pastor when he called him a thief in 2016 or is POI still a thief even now? (The answer to this question will tell Edolites all they need to know about either of them)

Then sad to say, there are those whose argument is that the Governor should not be re-elected because he does not have a child.

This is the most ridiculous of reasons to give for not supporting the re-election bid of Godwin Obaseki. Having a child or not is immaterial to the make-up of the hierachy of government.
Same childless man is the one who is currently implementing thr Edo-BEST educational policy that has improved the quality of education in Edo State Government-owned primary and secondary schools.
To those of us, political divide regardless, who may have heard this impiety and failed to rebuke it, may the God that gives children judge us all. To those who have championed same openly or secretly, may God forgive you.
It is unfair and immoral to allude that Godwin Obaseki is incompetent to govern Edo state because he has no biological child.

To the people of Edo State who are eligible to vote, please vote in line with your convictions.
Shun electoral malpractices.
Maintain peace and order.

Remember that the choice you make today, would be the reality you and your children would live in tomorrow.

We are nothing but pencils in the hand of our creator, everyone of us.
It is on that note now that I conclude by asking that come September 19, his will for Edo State be done. If there's one thing we would all agree on is that his will always triumphs.
God win!

Pro-obaseki

If printing the naira brings the money n the buyers, where are the goods n who's providing the services in times like this?

Most of the world economy is based on Credit...infact the paper you call money is actually credit note with CBN promising to settle it with another transaction...

The vulcanizer collect the credit note for service rendered and the gives the rice seller for goods sold and now the credit note is with the rice seller.


During recessions...
The CBN/Government help by
1 Reduce the lending rate
2, Print more bills.. Thereby flooding the market with more credit
3, reducing Taxes...

Please let us ask questions before we talk

aragonchuks:
Sometimes I wonder who votes this clueless politicians into power that don’t even know Economics , just imagine someone father , grandfather and leader vomiting nonsense without thinking about inflation .. As one Imam said currently “ONLY FOOLS CAN VOTE A BIGGER FOOL INTO POWER “.

Majority of you people don't know how the economy work.
Inflation is caused by too much money in the economy..


So where is the money now?
Where are the buyers?
Where are the sellers?
