PoliticsRe: Obaseki To Tinubu: You Can’t Extend Your Political Empire To Edo by DeRay98(m): 9:09am On Sep 16, 2020
emkz:
Obaseki shouldn't have responded. Do you wonder why Tinubu said this at the election week and not before? Obaseki should have allowed Wike or Atiku to respond. These gimmicks are meant to distract him and they are working.

Oshiomole was Buhari and Tinubu's candidate and Obaseki openly challenged him, which is equivalent to challenging the President and Tinubu. He also insulted Tinubu by saying Edo is not Lagos. He further insulted the President by announcing his resignation from APC at the Presidential villa. That said, win or lose, Obaseki needs to make peace with Tinubu, Oshiomole and co. If he loses on Saturday, that is the end of his political career and international appointments. I feel for him. Oshiomole, hate him or love him, is a dogged fighter and has never lost any battle in his professional life. This election would either further mystify him or totally demystify. The stakes are too high.
Obaseki doesn't need to make any peace with any emperor like Tinubu or Oshiomhole.
This mentality underlines the problem of our living in the bondage in midst of surplus.
Our daft political reason is why we worship our own oppressors yet we expect the country to move forward?
People like Tinubu is serving is own ambitions at the expense of the will of the people yet ignorant enslaved youths are hailing him.
Is this how Canada and America are ruled that our people all want to run there?
If truly Tinubu respects us Edo people while he can campaign for his party, he should hands off his rigging machinery and lets see if he has power in Edo.
Obaseki has help to build several successful private financial and economic services companies in Nigeria, he also built his own thriving financial equity service company(Afrinvest) before serving Edo under Oshiomhole for 8yrs without pay.
He's not a jobless career politician that have nothing to show outside govt stolen wealth.
If he's genuinely defeated he has his business to return to unlike most of our other politicians.
So, Obaseki doesn't owe any of them anything to beg for and stop this myopic talk.
Ize-Iyamu we know have nothing to offer Edo except to perpetuate himself and his sponsors and retain the govt in the hands self-serving politicians.
We all should be queuing behind Obaseki for having the guts to stand against the likes of these and uprooting Oshiomhole into political oblivion.
Obaseki's success should give hope to people minded hinderto ostracized technocrats with sound minds and true vision to lead, to venture into politics and take it from emperors.

Lol...the graphics reminds me of the social distancing scoreline that sent Messi to the wilderness looking for another club after Barca were beaten 8 - 2 by Bayern. Channels TV saw the percentage difference which made Obaseki appear with an Iroko tree lead compared to Ize Iyamu's waterleaf score. Channels had to issue a disclaimer before it raises APC supporters BP.

PoliticsRe: Edo 2020 Debate: Ize-Iyamu Rattles Obaseki On Performance by DeRay98(m): 6:10am On Sep 14, 2020
golddare:
Obaseki should have damned the debate by not attending it, POI took him to the laundry. You must know how to talk to be a good debater. Anyways I like his boldness for attending but doesn't really needed to.
It means you're confused like Ize-Iyamu because a debate is an argument to sell your views and convince people that your points or programme is the desirable and not about attacks.
That's where Ize-Iyamu like you and his other admirers missed the purpose of the debate.
Ize-Iyamu has nothing to sell to convince people that he has ideas that help the state or that he can be trusted with the state resources.
PoliticsRe: Edo 2020 Governorship Election Debate On Channels TV: PDP Vs APC by DeRay98(m): 8:35pm On Sep 13, 2020
COdeGenesis:
Baba, we are talking about the debate here. If you go by the debate you would unequivocally agree with me that Pastor knows the state thoroughly. Obaseki looked lost beyond words that Pastor knows so much
Smooth talking in campaign and debate doesn't translate to good governance.
Politicians like POI are known to be smooth talkers but what they'll do in office is different.
We in Edo don't Agberos on our streets again, Obaseki has done that for almost 4yrs now.
Talk talk doesn't lead to performance.
PoliticsRe: Edo 2020 Governorship Election Debate On Channels TV: PDP Vs APC by DeRay98(m): 8:31pm On Sep 13, 2020

Pastor Izeiyamu is more grounded. He talks with facts. He knows what affects the Edo people better than Obaseki. If you dont know your State so well, how would you govern well and solve critical problems. If I were APC na to put this debate for BIG TV inside Edo State. Its a very good publicity for APC.
POI has been involved with politicians since 1999 from Igbinedion to Oshiomhole but it doesn't translate to him governing well.
Obaseki is known to be a shy man who doesn't talk much has been effective in governance and changing way running govt in Edo.
POI has nothing in office to be criticised like Obaseki has.

COdeGenesis:
Pastor is really on point. He is hitting the issues point-blank. He seems more grounded and experienced. Pastor is really the man of the moment
What kind of experience are you talking about?
Only campaign experience but no management beyond offices he's appointed to operate. A good campaign does not automatically translate to good governance and people and resources management.
He's always been a politician but never won an elected office.

GamalNasser:
Under GEJ we were welcomed with both hands to Dubai because we were considered a prospering nation , they used to try to market real estate to us then but under Buhari they have started throwing Nigerians out because no one wants the burden of a poor nation
It's not about being "a poor nation" they know we are richer than them all round.
It's about the bad behaviours of our young people here.

There are still lots of Nigerians in UAE who aren't disturbed.
Many low paid employees from Nigeria do alot terrible things here.
Many are into Yahoo Yahoo, they sandine themselves into one apartment, some of them bully their fellow Nigerias and other national they flat with.
Just yesterday evening a fellow Nigerian told me that her Nigerian neighbour who was owing their landlord Aed.3000, wanted to escape without paying his accumulated rents. He was packing his stuff bit by bit until the Security man/Janitor who is also Nigerian asked his neighbour to him monitor this tenant as it appears he was escaping gradually.
The neighbour had earlier bullied the lady and his escape with unpaid rents could implicate the Janitor and cost him his job.
These and many more are the dealings of our young people here and they're closing the doors on others.
Many other nationals now know Nigerians to be trouble.

PoliticsRe: Hosa Okunbo: Obaseki Has Good Plans For Edo On Paper, Nothing On Ground by DeRay98(m): 8:10am On Sep 07, 2020
You all can see how vage some big men with big ego can be.
What has Ize-Iyamu ever done in his 2
16yrs of involvement with every govt of Edo? What administrative prowess has he demonstrated all these years in govt to show for his capacity to lead Edo?
So, in what basis is Capt. Hosa antagonizing Obaseki in favour of Ize-Iyamu?
The truth is that Capt Hosa is one of 4 men who had a secret meeting in Abuja to oust Obaseki from gov't because Obaseki has not allowed them unfettered access to Edo resources as they had expected being their party Guvnor.
These guys have seen the blueprint of Edo development as drawn by Obaseki and they want to leech on these resources by talking pole position to enrich themselves at the expense of the people.
This man has lost the little respect I had for him, his criminal past is revealing his true nature and source of his fortune.

Obaseki caused problems for himself, for those who has been followed the issues BTW oshiomole and obaseki with keen interests , oshiomole didn't ask too much from obaseki, he told him to carry some people who worked hard for his election along. Obaseki refused vehemently. Believed that he can win re election on his own.

Obaseki forgot that he is political neophyte and in Nigeria its not how you delivered as a governor but how you carried leaders in various wards and local governments along that can win re-elections for incumbents.

In Nigeria, politicians follow what their leaders told them and not what they see government of the day doing.
The bane of Nigeria and it's youth is that they see politics as an end itself and they hype and glorify useless politics as that's what makes things work to the detriment of good governance and when those useless mess things they.
Politicians don't care about governance but power and looting and yet our young glamourized them.
In as much as we glamourize politicians technocrats can't have opportunity to come in and govern purposefully.

Honestly Ghanaians has been envious of Nigerians and it shows in every sphere of life. From sport to entertainment to trade and even education.

Even from the comments of Ghanaians in media space you could tell the amount of grudges they have against Nigerians.
Maybe the 'Ghana must go' debacle is still boiling in their mind.
If the Ghana Must debacle is their grudge, they're either genuinely ignorant or in denial.
It was Ghana that first drove Nigerians out of Ghana in the 1960s, Nigeria only retaliated when Ghanaian crimes rate in Nigeria became a major security issues in the late 70s to early 80s.
Fact, Ghanaians make no chill, they belligerent by nature.
Go and see their social media space, its either one fight or another among their celebrities and politicians.
They're full of jealousy and feel intimidated by Nigeria's influence and power in Ecowas.
If Nigeria leaders were as patriotic as should be, Nigeria should have put Ghana in their place for long.

it is "I would love to hear from you ", now your intelligence is doubtful....If an undergraduate can't differentiate "here" "hear" and "hare"

uniben is right....how did you even pass GST 101 (Use of English )
Spot on, you see say na the average students dey over rate themselves why the brilliant students keep humble and reserve.
I'm a 22yrs alumnus of the Great UNIBEN, while it's a general attitude of some lecturers in Nigerian public universities to deliberately toughen things for students to seat up while in sch, its sadly part of the Nigerian mentality that until these tension or stress or shouting by authority figures, young people don't seat up.
This eventually negatively affects the other students who doesn't need the stressful environment to thrive.
Most of our lecturers never improve or upgrade their methods or approach and sadly so, because the schools mgt are not dynamic to assess lecturers out and re train them to improve.
There's no way an average hard-working student in Nigeria will not excel in universities abroad, given the more relax and intellect building approach over there and especially after surviving the "war" approach in Nigeria.
Too many students on this threat are just being the average Nigerian undergrad, there are advice from some brilliant ones on this thread but they won't learn and grow, only complaints all over.
