free2ryhme: oshiomole is not Christ but human and we are bound to err.. he apologized which is human and accepted responsibilities for his utterance ..

Igbinedion did worst than dis did any of u open your gutter? .. holier than thou hypocrites

Errmmm I must have missed the apology ...that was definitely nothing close to an apology... An he has not taken any responsibility for his actions ....

Living Soul34: I feel we are taking the sentiment about this woman too far! Off-course, Oshiomhole's out-burst and temperament gave him away yet does exonerate the woman (widow)... Widowhood is not a licence for breaking the law...That the governor goofed does not rule out the fact that the broke a law... I'm sure that Oshiomhole did not set out that day to go about abusing widows but to make sure that his people abide by the law, so even as we blame Oshiomhole for his choice of words we should not forget to blame the woman for breaking the law too... From the way we are going i fear that we may start recommending presidential awards for apprehended arm-robbers if only they are orphans... If we are passionate about alleviating the sufferings of widows and other down-trodden in the land let's come up with a well thought-out program for that and shun this sentimental and political campaign of calumny under guise of helping Oshiomhole's victim of " You are widow, go and die" or whatever we call it.

Wich law did she break …Pray tell??

yd849ja: Hypocrisy of a Nation: Nigeria. Not to condone what Oshiomole said but even Christ sent traders out of the temple!!! Oshiomole erred and retracted his utterance. Its so pathetic how everything takes a political turn in Nigeria. How many of you lots ever helped a single widow in your life before this incidence? Same PDP that turned Edo State into a junk yard has turned philanthropic and philosophical after rubbing the state blind. Nigeria truly is a Satire.

CHrist did not tell them to GO AND DIE….. even if we haven't helped a single widow.. wish i am sure we have; at least we no better than to tell them to their face to GO AND DIE…. and coming from a seating governor… dude it will definitely take a political turn anywhere in the WORLD. He was elected to lead not to send people to their deaths…

Leave this your talk about only in Nigeria.. in other more civilised climate he would have lost his job...

Desric: He is still one of them, check the second pics, you'll see him among commoners showing that his security details did not chase people away because the Governor was there, the only sin he committed against people is that he made a rather "too harsh" remark on a citizen that he should have comforted, but that doesn't rule out the fact that A parent also cautions his/her loved child when the child goes wrong. I think Oshiomole is one of the masses as he'll always say.

Any parent that tells his child to GO AND DIE should be shot

Obiagelli: If the PDP ain't adopting it as policy then it's of no use other than politics. If Nigeria's economy was favorable the woman won't be on the street. Where is the FG'S social ware fare package for the needy

The politics have not even started... Towards election the clip wil be played and replayed
DONT VOTE FOR A PARTY THAT TELLS WIDOWS TO GO AND DIE....

Oshiomole brought this on himself....

Nice one from PDP..

I wouldn't take that as an apology... He should come out and apologise specifically and not use a 'women group' visit as an avenue.....

He just dealt APC a great blow in the forthcoming election...

THE WIDOW MUST NOT DIE!!!!!

Someone in edo shoul please locate this woman an if a short video as people have said that I'd the best way to make this credible...


her life would be turned around and Oshiomole will be put to shame ...

bloggernaija: I beg to disagree .
Agreed ,
The governor choice of words is in bad taste but,

He is the CEO of the state.
A good administrator cannot afford to be selective in the Application of justice.
Poverty and illiteracy is not an excuse ,
Neither is wealth ,power and status.
All over Nigeria,laws are broken everyday and the perpetuators are never apprehended.
From breaking an easy to understand law like this one,to
a thieving president and his wife.
The moment you excuse these small crimes ,
You have automatically given the big criminal a pass.

The fact is that the oil derangement syndrome has seriously bastardized the psyche of that country ,
That people would rather eke a miserable living by the roadside,ride okada rather than live a life of dignity on the farm.

Nobody is saying he should forgive her.. If he actually did the point of him coming there would have been lost...
But his utterance just nullified everything he thought he came out there to achieve...

YOU ARE A WIDOW? Go and die ....my government does not support widows.. You are useless and a nuisance to the state .. You are better dead....

rudedough: Until you give up those emotions, it'll be hard for you to push forward in life. I'm a Medical Doctor and I can assure you that I've seen more emotions from patients in ICU but that doesn't mean that the surgery wouldn't be performed.

Think about the greater good. If everyone starts crying and begging like this woman, what do you think would be of our society?

Armed robbers cry too
Ritualists cry more
Even Kidnappers
...name them.

You cannot rule a state or a family wearing a sweat pant. Rules are rules and any who defaults must face the law. It's that simple.

Dude it's not about her crying ... People are not really saying she should have been forgiven but how in the world can an elected governor tell a lady "You are a widow? Go and die" c'monnnnn....

That is wrong on everrryyyyyyy aspect...
During election same person will go and meet widows begging for votes

chreld_b: Hahhahahahahaha I de laugh. Forget about the perverted put bellied lecturers. an academic who has gone through tough times attaining his/her PhD, an academic who has international publications, an academic who might well be a consultant to multinationals, an academic who chose to stay in the the academia not because of money but love for his job and research is who the government thinks it can easily replace. compared to a pseudoacademic who has no publication, has no PhD but illegally and fraudulently claims to have one, who has challenges in communicating in English language, that president Obama the leader of the free world looked upon him with disgust and disdain when they had audience together. This same man who should not never have been president of this great country who has failed to manipulate and deceive intellectuals is the person making this threat? ok lets see how it goes. The government wanted to lie and deceive ASUU but ASUU asked for greater commitment from the government so that a David mark would not come out and say that the "government officials who singed the agreement knew not what they were doing" and so on and so forth. I rest my case for now. The intelligent would know where I am getting at.

Only about 20% of Nigerian lecturers fit this your description...

obo_man: I will blame both the governor and the widow.....


There is abject poverty in Nigeria, so it will be very difficult to stop road-side hawking if there are no alternatives. In a sane society, hawkers want to stay in shops and sell their goods but it's either they can't afford it or the government isn't effective....

If our roads are good, traffic is free flowing and smooth, there won't be hold-ups for hawkers to ply their trade on. I believe in examining the practicality of a law before passing it out.


However, I do understand the governor's effort in trying to bring sanity into Edo state and it has to be appreciated. Chaos in any society shouldn't be justified because of poverty....


Because there are no public toilets in Nigeria, would you then say it's okay for Nigerians to poo on roads?

Because there are no public bins in Nigeria, should it justify everyone littering the floor when they can simply take their waste home and dispose it?

Because things are hard, would you then justify robbery?

Because you are a widow, should you then be allowed to break the law?


If the governor had allowed her to get her goods, he is telling people watching the event unfold that you can simply break the rule and beg afterwards....

Dude firstly she wasn't even hawking if you look at the nature of her goods..

There is nothing justifiable in heaven and on earth to tell a woman

YOU ARE A WIDOW..THEN GO AND DIE!!! even when you see her wailing, crying and begging…..

I pray this makes APC loos Edo….

Only wish the opposition will use it wisely… the wahala is they are all the same people

I'm a god:
Even if it's mean the line must be drawn somewhere. I'm sure the must have warned them to stay clear of d streets.

YOU are a very big BAAAAASSSTTTAAARRRDD to support this… except you didn't watch the video…

How can an elected governor tell a widow " YOU ARE A WIDOW GO AND DIE" with all the cameras in front of him….

There is absolutely no justification for this…. he just provided the opposition with campaign weapons….

G.12:
My broda, I tire! I "googled" the address, it seems to be genuine. So I'm thinking of going there tomorrow.

What seems to be genuine the address of course everyone can get Chevrons address….

vislabraye: 20million? Their cars will rot. Let's see how Toyota will make any sale.

That is the main idea of the policy.. it will attract Toyota to setup an assembly plant in Nigeria.. and do the importation in bits and pieces… sell at same 9million or even less……

Its a very hard policy but i think it will be beneficial in the long run….. The first coy to come in will have the largest market share

i'm sure it was done purposely… any publicity helps

Waspy: Male cow's poo!! .......and if these graduates succeed in rigging elections into the Senate, or take to arms and turn to militants, how much will they be worth?. SMH. Democracy is just not meant for Blacks

Senseless post!!! Did you even read the post at all?? It's an internship: if the graduates prove themselves they can be retained by said coys

Nicepoker: blue and white painted cars can only be found in cross river state i guess. Am sure that police man is ur dad.

have you been to phc before?? thats the colour of taxis in phc.... cross river taxis are of a darker shade of blue....

My main problem is who can be held responsible for : for example the searching of bags by hand. is it the immigration abi custom boss, or FAAN or the aviation minister.. or the president himself...
Because they all cannot argue that they dont know or see this things going on.. A simple directive from any of the persons in charge will have this stopped immediately.....

But really do they still search all bags by hand??

dinachi: Ese Walter is the Lesbian prostitute that slept with married Pastor Biodun Fatoyimbo and when her attempts to blackmail him failed she now went to social media. I don't have any atom of respect for that hoe!

but you do for the pastor??

Dr. Wise:
T.fare to calabar is between 5 and 6k. You can go with these transport companies; the young shall grow, calculux, abc etc. Calabar is about 11-12hrs from lagos, so u can estimate how many hours that would be from ondo. As a student I do not see the likelihood of you affording the big hotels like mirage, metro, channel view, le chateau, pyramid etc. But you can afford places like hyde out, essien inn, etc which are close to u.j esuene stadium with average price of 4k per night.

mirage, metro, channel view, le chateau, pyramid these ones are 10-14k...As a student i'm sure he can afford it .....i'll advise you to get one of these.... esp as its your first time and your are going for FUN...

lol

Trust me if he didn't actually do a doctorate degree LAI MOHAMMED would have told us long ago....

Leemak: Suffering and smiling people, you went out to watch a football match of your country with your hard-earned money in a football show house just because there was no light in your area and yet you are stil jubilating and shouting the name of such nonentical entity called Nigeria, dont you know that you deserved to watch that match in your sitting room?

Some people are just Sadist kaiii....... dude its more fun watching the game outside your house with people.... light or no light...

Good luck Nigeria...

Camping Slogan done Set

smurfy: That's nonsense. Hasn't he confessed to the crime? We need not follow their loose system of law.

Even if he has confesses he can still say it was under duress... until a COMPETENT court of law says he is guilty he is still assumed innocent
