Now That he didn't hand it over , is he winning the war? He just destroyed his own country when clearly he can't withstand Russia.
That Comedian just got played by the west. Nobody is sending him money or weapons again

coputa:


Philip Shaibu has been impeached as the deputy governor of Edo State and replaced by 38-year- old Omobayo Godwin. He has declared his impeachment illegal, but until a court of law follows suit, such a declaration would remain beyond his fiat as an erstwhile deputy governor.

In Nigerian politics, the heads that are reared up too soon are swiftly cut off and served in salomenic style as the prize for ambition in a gathering of power. Whenever deputy governors have replaced governors, it has been a case of restraint, and sometimes helplessness. Otherwise, it is only hostility that is displayed. That hostility now haunts Shaibu.

Since he indicated his intention to become governor, he has become the number one enemy to power in the state. Godwin Obaseki, the governor, has been open in his opposition to Shaibu’s bid. Obaseki’s grouse that Shaibu did not tell him has quickly become fierce opposition to his bid in all respects. It is a strange case of a governor being in the opposition together with the legislature, all arrayed in battle against one man.

As the theatre has unfolded in Edo State, turning theatrics to weapons in one of Nigeria’s most politically conscious states, the impossible fate of a deputy governor who aspires to be more than a figurehead has been laid bare.

Snippets from Shaibu’s side of the story which have come more out of compulsion than actual consternation or contempt betray feelings of betrayal. Having sunk his resources into a joint ticket, he feels he should now be the first name on what is a testament to its success story. But that is not how things work. In the cut-throat world of Nigerian politics, loyalty is often a knife sharpened for one’s back.

In his bid to become governor, Shaibu has evoked the homeboy trope. A career activist and unionist who rose to fame during the heady days of student unionism in Unijos, he considers himself the quintessential homebred politician who not only knows where the pulse is in Edo State but feels it first-hand. In this wise, Shaibu favorably compares himself to a certain favourite for the son of the Edo State governorship who needed a translator to commune with his kinsmen and spirits when he visited his community.

What iniquitous offence did Shaibu commit to impel his impeachment? What has changed to make a pariah out of a man who has claimed to have bankrolled elections in 2016 and has not been challenged?

Obaseki and his stooges in the state legislature sure have no coherent answer. Shaibu’s fate sealed from the moment private disaffection over the next governor of Edo State spilled into public disagreement is a remaking of the impossible remit of the Nigerian deputy governor. An office hamstrung by the Constitution itself is often made impossible by the clownish tendencies of governors who act like emperors, and crave control of everything.

What is happening in Edo State is history repeating itself. In 2010, as President Musa Yar’Adua dangled between life and death from the threads of a terminal illness, his closest aides and family members cared less for the president’s survival than to check his inevitable replacement by the Vice President to the office. This was until death checked them all.

·Ondo State also required death to ultimately disarm the bomb that was about to detonate in the state. Since 1999, deputy governors in Zamfara, Oyo, Kogi, Ekiti, Imo, Lagos, Osun, Akwa Ibom and Bauchi have all been impeached for farcical offences. It is a battle that is never far away from government with the prudent question being where next.

It Is disruptive that a governor should spend his last days in office orchestrating the impeachment of his deputy rather than consolidating his legacy.

The clearest lesson for Shaibu and other deputy governors, may yet be that in a duel of big dogs, it is impolitic to show sharp teeth.

In this whole Edo Saga, Shuaibu is the HERO.

He stood by Obaseki when the need arise only for Obaseki to be ungrateful...... shuaibu should congratulate himself for exposing an ingrate.
How can you be so bitter with someone that stood by you just because they didn't tell you of their ambition on time..... He could even have lied with zoning and it will be plausible but to say you are angry because he didn't inform you is no escuse

Jostoman:
Obaseki is a man of the People unlike the other Short Devil from APC.

But a man that cannot manage people.....so his being a man of the people is useless because he can't manage those people very well.

Most fools think those who profess Christianity support jews for Jews to recognize them...that's the fallacy they tell themselves...!!!

The contribution of jews to the world far surpasses that of the mullahs and their thugs..!!

The only thing the Arabs brought is Islam and blood shed and no sane person would support that...!!

So get it into your head of the two the jews are lesser evil compared to the Arabs any day any time..!!

Even in your mecca, they consider you as subhuman...even prophet told his fellow Arab followers if they want to see the devil they should look at a Black man...!!!


It's beyond religion...its pure survival and the Christians feel more safe with the jews than moslems...even moslem are not safe with their fellow moslem talk more of Christians been safe...!!!

If the power the jews have is to be in hands of the Arabs moslems..nobody would have peace in the middle-east...!!

See this one, you are just one of those who believed in the Oxymoron called Christian Zionism.
You people are the reason the middle east hasn't known peace. The Jews would have mad peace with Muslims since but for the refusal of the Christians who believed that for Jesus to come back it will be to Israel and for that to happen, a state of Israel has to exist........this is what evangelicals in America and Europe have been pushing for even before Herzl began his Zionists movement.

So answer me , God Almighty cannot find a land for his own chosen people that he has to command them to go and kill the Pharisees and take over their land?
Is that the true representation of Almighty God?
You no know wetin you dey talk

The US is far bigger than vietnam militarily, but didnt win the war against vietnam....

From Vietnam to Afghanistan it has been proven that the USA cannot win In every conflict.
But then saying people are senseless for saying Ukraine can't win is a very senseless statement to make. Ukraine is gone. Its citizens already distributed all over Europe and America (they are the ones that will continue the battle in the future)
The next thing you will see is American and European companies moving in for reconstruction of Ukraine which is usually the cover for natural resources pilfering

Everyone knows it's USA and EU fighting RUSSIA in UKRAINE.
Both are also using the war to also test new weapons .

Olachase:
Ukraine can never win this war against Russia
USA and NATO deceive Ukraine now they have left them behind 😔😔


To those saying Russia is finding it difficult to defeat small Ukraine sorry you are wrong, Putin is not here to fight he's only teaching them a lesson

Thats why Putin insisted this is a special military operation.
Many people don't know what a full blown war with Russia will look like because Nobody has ever had the BOLDNESS to test their war capabilities

You are birds of the same feather for you to know him this much
So when are you getting a job?

Floky215:
Cycle talk as usual...!!

There would never be state or country called Palestine...!! It's a simple fact..!!

The Arab immigrants should simply go back to Jordan and the rest shit hole they came from...!!

The Jews too should go back to wherever they came out of their trance where God told them to go and wipe the Pharisees that they killed and drove away from Judea

Come to equity with clean hands.

Una go just dey mock God. So Almighty God can't find a land without a people for his own chosen people he has to tell them to murder a tribe and take over their lands

And you dare tell some people to go back where they came from

Before you go biblical, remember the land was promised Abraham and his descendants which includes Jews Arabs and Christians

MUMU Christians thinking their supporting Israel will make Israel recognize Christianity....they keep mocking you and tell you to your face they killed Jesus and would do it over and over again

Righteousness2:



[i]Israel KNOWS that they have to deal with IRAN DIRECTLY and take out 2 things.
1) It's nuclear ☢️ program
2) It's ballistic missiles

They need to cut the head off that snake 🐍 before it can target 🎯 and destroy Israel with nuclear weapons.

But Israel can keep its nuclear weapons

What right has Israel to Nuclear weapons that Iran doesn't

Una go destroy the world with una hypocrisy one day

Rich4god:
I am one person that do not joke with safety, what ever I do and where ever I am, I ensure that safety procedures are followed. Not just by me, but by those around me.
I can count how many times I have alighted from public transport because the drive was driving recklessly. I can also count how many times I made other passengers to force our drive to drive carefully.
All thanks to the training I got from my work, I dont joke with SAFETY.

Some days back, I was at a fuel station to get fuel. My vehicle is next in line to the fule pump when a man drove up in his bike, bypassing every other bike on the cue and headed straight to the pump that I was on line for. Since the pump was fueling the car in front, the bike man just packed and was waiting for them to finish.

Few seconds later, he just brought out his phone and was making call. I immediately alighted from my car and urged him to leave the pump area and continue his call.
Na so he just started shouting. "That do i know who he is, that I have no right to tell him to stop making call or to leave the pump area".

Like play like play, he just removed his combatant belt that hes going to deal with me. That he doesnt take nonsense from people who have no respect. I noticed he was wearing an underwear camo, either for navy or civil defense.

As he came down from his bike and was trying to approach me, other customers who were there now charged at him in my defence. After much altercation, he left with the threat that he's coming back with his men for us.

Even though I escaped "molestation" by the officer, it always good for everyone of us to be safety conscious. Accidents can easily happen and last last, them go tell you or your family sorry and life goes on. WHO LOSE.

Lets always insist on adhering to safety principles at all times even when it mean that you will have to inconvenience yourself and others.

If you are boarding a boat/canoe insist on life jacket... it will save you from a lot of stories that touch.

When they say you too dey fear fear... Agree that you are a coward
When they say you dont have faith... Agree that you are faithless.

The bottomline is, dont be caught unaware and fall victim of avoidable deaths and injury.

Proud of you Man

You won't know the difference because you are igbo, you are not wired to reason rationally

We4all:


Have you ever heard of the word 'remake' in the film world? Juliet was a fictional character and anyone can play that role if there is ever going to be a remake. People are just crying foul due to ignorance.

A fictional character in the mould of a white person. Abi did the story describe her as a black person?
So then Van Diesel or Roger Moore should have played lead role in black pantha instead of Bossman and we will call it "remake"

You seem the ignorant one here

But you will be here grandstanding as if you are world encyclopedia but alas na empty brain.
And these empty brains propped up another empty brain and wanted to force all of us to vote for him....

Elsueno:
I actually did not like how the whites ganged up on d young girl.

But to be fair, let's be honest, Juliet should not be black just as much as black panther cannot be white.

its much better to look for or create an original story that requires a young black actress.


It's a shame really, I perfectly understand how she's feeling sha

To some Nigerians , what you just wrote make you a tribalistic person
But to Sane minds, it's the truth.
Juliet in the original story was white
If you wanted a black Juliet, invent a story

Bendeco2020:
What do you expect?

He is a yoruba man. They easily surrender

Like they did with Peter Obi
Abi na Chinedu
Last last ELUPEEE LULE

even if na only for Politics we beat igbos silly there
They can have the remaining sectors but for politics dem go dey collect woto woto

DMerciful:
Obi won 2023 but was rigged out. That will not be allowed in 2027!

PBAT won in 2023 and was rightly awarded.
You didn't campaign all over the country, you only limited yourself to your tribal and religious enclave and hope to win , doesn't work that way .
Even AA worked more than you and the results showed it.

Yes , Obi won on Twitter and Facebook
But the real elections was won by PBAT and AA came second while Ekuke got his rightful place behind his senior brothers.
You people think experience doesn't matter but have seen that it does.
In your various markets is it the juveniles that just got settled that leads your market unions? Or is it the immmature and inexperienced politicians that you elect as your governors ..... Alex Otti has been in PDP, APGA before landing in LP, it's the experiences he gathered in those other parties that made him win

BALLOSKI:


I'd really want to see Ladoja on that throne.

So that others can make the trouble he is making now for him too.
He has not been going for meetings so if he becomes Olubadan who will attend his meetings?
The man no even know the implications of what he is doing. No be everything you go dey show say you stubborn and you are not even a saint.
If God wish he will become Olubadan but he should calm down. What if he gets there and die the next day..... haven't you heard of an Olubadan that was announced as a designated and died before his coronation.

Bookhub:

Obidients go drag una tire for twitter till una go free her,government fear obidients pass anything

You are living in the past, that was before
Nobody dey fear Obidients, you have been demystified

Hoelujohn:

During PDP regime, APC and their people unleash barrages of media propaganda against the PDP and no one was invited by the police.

Na because PDP were foolish now
Don't try nonsense with APC men. Can't you see that no protest has succeeded since they cane to power....its because they are the professional protest organizers and they are now in power ,nobody to organize protests again.

Prosperity4All:
This thread is full of the new bunch of Nigerians who celebrate Government oppression of citizens as if themselves were eternally immune from same treatment. SHAME
But senselessly they forget that what goes around will certainly come around. Wait for it...

Is a citizen supposed to tell LIES in the name of freedom of speech?
Freedom of speech comes with responsibility

Jostoman:
you people cant intimidate us here because nairaland is for everybody and not for APC supporters alone.

And it's not Twitter where you people dominate.
So igbos can complain on nairaland

Allahu Akbar

Thank God Seun has shown them the door when he see say them dey plan takeover nairaland
