Whu are we Africans so obsessed with marriage? Of the numerous problems we have, which good polices can solve, why is it that marriage seems to always get more of our attention?

Valkrie:
Then you have no idea what is going on...I personal have friends who their mother have dealt with via witchcraft...the first the mum took his penis and made him useless, the second the mother and younger sister conspired to kill and all through witchcraft...the mother all confessed...not hear say but these are friends I talk to...the one with no penis is still alive to this day but amount to nothing...he is close to 60 years now...

Yebedervru:
That Oyo became the most powerful at a time because of wars doesn’t change the fact that ife is number one because even the first Alaafin of Oyo is oranmiyan, the son of okanbi, grandson of oduduwa

Ibadan which also became powerful at a point doesn’t change the fact that lagelu(ife man) also founded Ibadan

Oyo became powerful because of the empire but doesn’t change fact all yorubas migrated from ife whether directly or indirectly

Well I know benidiots like you to be daft that you have comprehension problems

The only thing benidiots like you are good at is cultism, armed robbery, prostitution

No ambition, no future

Cultism started from Ibadan here but the youths had to give themselves Brain to drop it because it’s not profitable unlike Benin where parents would be happy their son is a cultist while daughter is a prostitute

I’m sure your mother is also a prostitute with damaged pussy like Lagos Ibadan expressway and I have bleeped your useless mother before here in Ibadan

Incase you doubt me, go to any hotel in Ibadan today, Your sisters constitute more than 50% of oloshos we have.

Well I’m also suspecting you that you may not be the child of your own mother as we don Bleep her tire for Ibadan here.
So instead of wasting your time on nairaland, try and use the energy to educate your youths to change their trade Benin hoodlum

I have not been myself for a long time now.I ve tried everything just to get back up and see the light again but all to no avail, this was one of the reasons I decided to join nairaland, so it could serve as a comic relief and keep me off suicidal thoughts but of late nairaland is no longer doing it for me.
I just can't seems to get it, is like am just a collosal waste of space and I think the world will be better off without me. I thought they said life is full of ups and downs but my life is filled with nothing but downs and the abyss. If I try to explain no one will get me, I tried committing suicide during the lockdown but the only thing that kept me from doing it was the thought of the family I will be leaving behind, the thought of the pains and heartbreaks I will be leaving behind, but for me waking up day after day is like opening the curtains to another scene of an endless tragedy play. My last wish before sleep every night is not to wake up but it seems like all my wishes has something in common NEVER COMING TO PASS. Am sorry if I sound ungrateful, am sorry if I sound selfish but I never beg to exist in the first place, is like I was roped into this without seeking my opinion about it but who am I kidding when did my opinion ever matters. Dear reader sorry for bothering you with my cries of woes and pains I think I will stop here.

Goodbye world
Goodbye mom and dad, this wasn't your fault, you tried your best. I guess I was just a manufacturer error and I need to be sent back to the factory.
Goodbye siblings, sorry I wasn't a good influence and it had to end this way.
Goodbye nairaland, thanks for the good laughs you left on my face but I guess my problems found a way to build a immunity for them.

PS: I don't do drugs, dont bet in short I will say I was a good kid but I guess it wasnt enough.

David ibiyomie needs to hold a crusade in Benin, he might be able to save them

Marks112:
Hi everyone, my mom is a celestial woman so she believes in all these things.
She asked 4 pastors, 1 said she’s okay, others said no.

But the thing is I am exhausted, I can’t start all over again and I love her and she loves me very much. She’s not your average Nigerian girl that loves money.

I have just been thinking a lot cos I don’t even know what could happen in future that will make the pastors say no.

And the main thing here now is now that my mom has asked these people she will never support this marriage, how do I convince her?

And I can’t break up with my gf she has been with me through a lot .. I just tire.
Been praying to God that if she’s not for me she should be the one to break up or f*ck up
I don’t want to hurt her.

UDUJ:
No cause for alarm. Post Primary Education Board has no political relevance.

This should not even make the nairaland front page

ProfAmaben:
Edo state is making us feel like this is the first election held in Nigeria.

A trip to the state would make you laugh. Dragging power in every ramification such as:

1. Aiye pursue Alora
2. Maphite pursue Aiye for Ekodosin
3. Oshiomole pursue Obaseki
4. Ize-Iyamu pour acid etc.
5. Oba support Oshiomole etc.

Nothing tangible in terms of development. Only power tussle.

Essential:
Oshomoele is back, Obaseki soldiers are going back to their master. This is what happened when you dress on borrowed clothes to a party and decide to dance with your lender's wife. you go house nake.

Cousin9999:
Both kinds of castration can be reversed with drugs.

If it's proven without any doubt that someone has done this, give them the death penalty and be done with it. There's no need to entertain alternatives.

I fear for the falsely accused, and we can't ignore those who would weaponize it politically or financially. But these people need consequences, and prison time isn't the solution.

You can reform a robber or someone likely driven to crime by poverty, family dysfunction, health issues, and etc. You simply can't do that with these people.

OVB123:
Village people! village people!! village people!!! God will judge u people. Look at how beautiful this lady is and u people decided to take her life, there is God oooh.

jrusky:
Sorry who is Okunbo again? Is that not one time the notorious armed robber or its another Okunbo just happened to bear same name with the notorious guy

Just asking pls because that name hhmmmm.....

yinkus6750:
Benin again, capital city of mad people in the country.
Many are mad, but few are displaying it.
Upon all the drama and exhibition, he will still face the law for the offence committed.
So, what's the mentality for his display all about?

Olanipekun, Four SANs Lead Cases Seeking to Disqualify Obaseki, Shaibu
editorJuly 19, 2020 5:30 Am
APC accuses duo of committing perjury, forgery
Party’s campaign council, state govt disagree over destruction of Ize-Iyamu’s billboards
INEC releases final list of candidates
Iyobosa Uwugiaren, Chuks Okocha, Alex Enumah in Abuja and Adibe Emenyonu in Benin City

Foremost lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Wole Olanipekun, is leading four other SANs in cases of certificate forgery and perjury instituted against Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, at a Federal High Court in Benin City. The All Progressives Congress (APC) and a member of the party, Mr. Edobor Williams, instituted the cases.


The plaintiffs are asking the court to disqualify the governor and his deputy from participating in the September 19 governorship election in the state as well as prevent their party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), from fielding any candidates in the election.

In a related development, the APC National Campaign Council for the September 19 governorship election in the state, Saturday, raised the alarm over the destruction and removal of the outdoor billboards and campaign posters of its candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and his running mate, Mallam Gani Audu, by alleged agents of the state government.


But Special Adviser to Obaseki on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, dismissed the allegation, calling it belated antics of a routinely recycled politician.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released a final list of eligible candidates for the September 19 election across the different political parties.


Obaseki and Shaibu, who are contesting the election on the platform of PDP, had contested and won the governorship election in 2016 under APC. In two separate suits filed against them by the APC and Williams, the plaintiffs want the court to stop Obaseki and Shaibu from participating in the September 19 governorship election in Edo State for allegedly lying on oath and submitting false documents to INEC to aid their qualifications in the forthcoming election. According to them, the alleged offences of the defendants run contrary to the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010, as amended, and the punishment is automatic disqualification.


The plaintiffs are also asking the court to bar the PDP from participating or representing itself in the September 19 governorship election for sponsoring ineligible candidates.

In the first suit marked FHC/B/CS/74/2020, which has Obaseki, PDP and INEC as first, second and third respondents, respectively, the plaintiffs want the court to hold that Obaseki lied on oath in his INEC Form CF 001 submitted in aid of his qualification.

The plaintiffs further accused the first defendant of forging his West African Examinations Council (WAEC) result in aid of his admission for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Ibadan. In a statement of claim in support of the suit by Dr. Ehiogie West-Idahosa, the plaintiffs further claimed that Obaseki did not meet the minimum requirements to gain admission into the university, as he had just three credits and two passes in his school certificate results purportedly issued by WAEC.

Obaseki was also accused of perjury for claiming to have graduated from the University of Ibadan in 1976 in his form CF 001 completed in July 2016, while in his form CF 001 completed on June 29, 2020 he claimed to have graduated in 1979.

The plaintiffs in the suit added that Obaseki had also been disqualified from participating in the election by the APC screening committee, which discovered huge discrepancies in documents presented in support of his academic qualifications.


The plaintiffs, in accusing Obaseki of forgery, pointed out that his degree certificate, whose photocopy was presented to INEC, revealed that only the Vice Chancellor of the university signed the certificate and without effective date of award, as against the standard operating procedure of the Examination, Records and Administrative Data Processing Division.

The plaintiffs also want the court to declare that Obaseki’s claim that he worked with Afrinvest Limited from 1994 to 2014, when he retired, was false.


Aside the alleged falsification of documents and lying on oath, the plaintiffs want the PDP standard bearers disqualified on the grounds that the waiver granted them by the PDP last month contravened section 177 of the 1999 Constitution.

In the other suit marked FHC/B/CS/75/2020, which has Shaibu, PDP and INEC as first, second and third respondents, respectively, the plaintiffs, apart from accusing Shaibu of also parading false academic documents, want him disqualified for presenting forged tax clearance certificate to INEC in 2006 in aid of his qualification for the 2007 House of Assembly election in Edo State in 2007.


On Shaibu’s academic record, the plaintiffs claimed discrepancies and alleged forgery in his WAEC result, adding that Shaibu’s claim that he obtained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Benin in 2012 was false.

APC Campaign Council Accuse Edo Govt of Destroying Ize-Iyamu’s Billboards

Meanwhile, the APC campaign council, which accused Edo State government agents of destroying and removing the billboards of its candidates, said it had petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Johnson Kokumo, and INEC regarding what it called a “criminal act”. It said the billboards and campaign posters were located at strategic points in Benin City and beyond.


National Vice Chairman of the publicity committee of the campaign council, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, said at a press conference in Benin City, the Edo State capital, that the action was “unfortunate” and “criminal.” Obahiagbon stated that the “outdoor billboards and indeed other campaign materials were duly paid for, designed and erected in full compliance with all legal requirements.”

He said, “We are convinced that this act of intolerance, carried out with impunity, foreshadows what the Edo State government has in store for the Edo voters and our supporters in the September 19 election following the emergence of incontrovertible facts that Mr. Godwin Obaseki is on his way to an embarrassing defeat.


“This unfortunate and criminal action took flight on Thursday, the 16th of July, 2020, when the Edo State government allegedly expressly told one Mr. Dave Giwa Amu who is parading himself as the Managing Director of the Edo State Signage and Advertising Agency, to commence immediate removal and destruction of our billboards.”

The campaign council also stated, “The Edo State Signage and Advertising Agency, purportedly led by the so-called Mr. Dave Giwa Amu, an avowed supporter of the incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki, is an agency that is yet to receive the assent of the Edo State House of Assembly as the bill for its creation and operations is still being considered in the legislative chamber…

“This agency, as of today, is unknown to the laws of Edo State and is being weaponised by the state government, an interested party in the election, to give itself an illegal, unfair, unethical, fraudulent advantage as we approach the polls.

“This is an egregious and opprobrious escalation of other recorded acts of abuse of office and disregard for the law on the part of the Edo State government. It is a new low for a state government and a governor that has blurred and corrosively dimmed the lines on what is personal and official, reserves the interest of the state and that of the parochial interests of the man, who lead it.

“It is unfortunate that as the chief executive of the state, who is expected to commit to peace, rule of law and avoidance of rancour, Governor Godwin Obaseki has continued to heat up the polity with reckless and provocative comments, media blackmail and criminal actions of intolerance, including the mass destruction of opponent’s campaign materials.”

Obahiagbon stated that APC and its candidates remained confident that Edo people already knew where to place their thumbs on September 19 and would not be cowed by the “last kicks of a dying horse”.

The campaign council said, “We will, nonetheless, stop at nothing to ensure that the rule of law prevails in the state and that the governor is made to come to terms with the fact that all constitutional powers have limits and responsibilities and that as it has been said by scholars, nobility commands responsibility.”

But in a swift reaction, Osagie insisted that the Edo State government did not bring down APC candidates’ campaign billboards. In a statement, he said the allegations were ludicrous and unfounded.

He alleged in the statement, “Anyone who knows Ize-Iyamu very well knows that this is his approach to politics. He raises the alarm and cries wolf, when no one is chasing him. The state government has not removed any of his billboards. This is cheap blackmail to score lame political points.

“Ize-Iyamu is a politician that assumes relevance during every election cycle. This is what he does for a living and has no other job. It is not surprising to see these statements from him and his team. He should not be taken seriously, and his statements should be disregarded.

“He would go back to his cocoon after he has been defeated at the September 19, 2020 election and would most likely resurface after four years to repeat this cycle. So, we are used to his childish charades.”

INEC Releases Final List of Candidates

INEC, in compliance with its Timetable and Schedule of Activities, and in accordance with Section 34 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), published the final list of candidates for the 2020 governorship election in Edo State by displaying it in the commission’s offices in the state capital and the 18 local government areas of the state. The list was also uploaded on the commission’s website.

By Section 35 of the Electoral Act and the Timetable and Schedule of Activities of the Commission, withdrawal and substitution of candidates for the Edo Sate governorship election ended on July 13, 2020.

A statement by INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, listed the governorship candidates and their deputies as follows:

AA: Edemakhiota Godwin Osaimiamia, deputy, Sunday Johnbull; ADC: Mabel Oboh, deputy, Reuben Agharese Edokpayi; ADP: Ibio Lucky Emmanuel, deputy, Demond Imasuen; and APC: Osagie Andrew Ize-Iyamu, deputy, Audu Ganiyu. Also, listed were APGA: Lucky Osagie Idehen, deputy, Isah Asekhaimeh; APM: Igbineweka Osamuede, deputy, Obiyan Christian; APP: Amos Osalumese Areloegbe, deputy, Afolabi Ogah; and LP: Osifo Uhun-Ekpenma Isaiah, deputy, Omogbelehan Edomoina Pauline.


Others were NNPP: Agolebun Tracy, deputy, Enobhaysobo Jonathan; NRM: Stevie Nash Ozono Osadolor, deputy, Eghe Festus; PDP: Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki, deputy, Philip Shaibu; SDP: Felix Ikezor Obayangbon, deputy, Omion Omonye; YPP: Jones Osagiobare, deputy, Samson Olukayode Idowu; and ZLP: Akhalamhe Amiemenoghena, deputy, Thompson Osadolor.

Okoye said with the publication of the final list of candidates, no political party could withdraw or substitute any of the nominated candidates or tamper with the list and particulars of the candidates in a manner inconsistent with the intendment of the Constitution and the Electoral Act.


“We urge political parties to pay close attention to the timelines stipulated in the Timetable and Schedule of Activities of the Commission as well as the provisions of the Constitution and the Electoral Act,”
