Story....just go find 4m dish.

Is it still working?

Arabiandude:
Thought I was responding to someone with a working brain. I wish you well!

Rather than dwell on the real issue, u are busy casting aspersions. How typical of those who don't have answers to questions. Very simple question; who nominated Dr. Ehanire in 2015?

Arabiandude:
Let me tell you why Ehanire made it instead of odubu and other notable binis. Ehaneri is a politician only on the pages of newspaper, unlike odubu and others and because of recent happenings in edo politics oshiomole doesn’t trust the binis anymore. So instead of him to support odubu and any other bini men who are grassroot politicians and may chose to side Obaseki after becoming a minister, oshiomole rather went for a political lightweight bini man and that’s how Ehanire came about. And Ehanire also has the blessings of the Benin palace and Capt Hosa. So right now there is no grassroot bini man at the federal level that would support Obaseki when this fight becomes intense, and mind you, forget media hype, the fight concerning edo politics is far from over and it won’t end until it consumes either Obaseki or Shaibu who is now the grand betrayal of oshiomole. We the oshiomole grassroot supporters are waiting for the party primary and final directive from our amiable leader and national chairman, HE Comrade Adams Aliu Oshiomole

So who nominated Ehanire in 2015? On the fight concerning Obaseki and Shaibu, u just confirm to me you ain't based in Edo State cos if u do u won't make such assertion. Can Oshiomole campaign in Benin without being stone? Perhaps u think Edos are Lagosians. 100 of Oshiomholes can't stop the second term ambition of Obaseki. If Obaseki is as vindictive as Oshiomhole I can bet you Oshiomhole would be behind bars by now. In any case, tell your "god" that we are coming for our medical equipments at Iyamu very soon!!!

Arabiandude:
Oga stop posting rumors and what you know nothing about here. Yeah he is married to Obaseki sis but that did nothing to him been nominated for a ministerial position. He is solely nominated and a candidate of Oshiomole and not obaseki. The 2 ministers that are nominated from Edo state Obaseki has no hand in any of them. Do you even think Obaseki who is a Bini will nominate someone from Edo North for a ministerial position when there are lot of binis to chose from? Just recently Obaseki also complained that his reason for fighting himself and oshiomole is because him Obaseki doesn’t have a say at the federal level. According to him all federal appointments from Edo state are from Oshiomole, and this includes Clem Agba.
On a lighter note, in 2011 I told whoever cared to listen then that Prince Clem Agba who was the commissioner of environment will go places, same with Prince Kazeem Afegbua, but sadly Kazeem Afugbua for reasons best knows to him choose to tour the path of PDP after serving Oshiomole both as spokesperson and as commissioner for information in Oshiomole second term...though I know he decamped to PDP after oshiomole 2nd term as a spy for oshiomole but it seems already late for him to return after the 2019 election were done and won.
Before I forget, you remember oshiomole commissioner for works during his first tenure? Architect Francis Eghomwan... he also would go places if he hasn’t already joined the camp of Obaseki, mark this day about this guy

Am happy we both agree that my brother, Clem Agba merits his nomination. On your other submission that Oshiomole nominated him shows you don't know what happens with respect to Edo politics. FYI, oshiomole's list included Samson Osagie, Patrick Obayagbon and ..........(assignment for you to complete). I commended Obaseki for rising above tribal sentiments to nominate an Edo son who in his opinion would add value to national development. Only those who are properly educated reason this way thus am not surprised; so am proud I share the same Alma mater with his excellency Governor Obaseki

michealewela:
Not all uneme, there is a particular one we forbid..

Which is?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself despite all the education you have acquired, your reason is not different from that of the cave men. Your admittance that you forbid a fellow human being shows how shallow your thought and certainly an empty brain you've got. Get lost from this civilization!!! Arrant rubbish!!!

PREAMBLE:

Prince Clem Agba is a lot of things to a lot of people. Without any gainsaying, he represents a proactive person, change agent, result-oriented, mobilizer of men and resources, mentor, a defender of the oppressed, avid advocate for an egalitarian society, father figure, genuine philanthropist extraordinaire with a heart of GOLD and LOVE. Believer in the philosophy that one can only use the POWER of LOVE to overcome the LOVE of POWER.

HIS PHILOSOPHY:
Succinctly put, Prince Clem Agba represents the saying of the English author, George Bank (1821 – 1881) who when he was asked, “what he lives for?” replied,

“For the cause that lacks assistance; for the wrong that needs resistance; for the future in the distance and; for the good that I can do”

BIO-DATA
Clem was born to the family of His Royal Highness, Pius Kadiri Ikanade Agba; the Oliola of Uzanu.

Clem started his primary education in St Vincent Primary School, Auchi after which he proceeded to St. John’s Grammar School, Fugar and had his higher school certificate from Advanced College Igueben in 1982. Clem thereafter attended the then Bendel State University, now Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma and graduated with a B.Sc Economics degree in 1985. He also possesses two Masters Degrees in Business Administration, one from the University of Benin, Benin-City with specialization in Management and the other from Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA with specialization in Supply Chain Management.

PROFESSIONAL CAREER:
After working for Pegasus Industries and Super Engineering respectively from the mid 1980’s to late in 1990, Clem joined the then Gulf Oil Company that transformed into the present day Chevron Nigeria Limited. Like a golden fish that can not hide, Clem’s penchant for excellence was easily noticed and this blossomed such that in 1996 he was seconded to the Chevron Oil Corporation in Houston to deliver his expertise in Shipping.

In the year 2006, he was again called upon to deliver another top-class performance in Kazakhstan, where he was seconded again in 2006 to Chevroil Tengiz to run a massive logistic chain with him as head over 1600 people. Clem’s brilliance, inventiveness, charisma, humaneness, generosity, discipline and sound work and professional ethos have endeared him to many in the different sphere of every human endeavour.

PUBLIC OFFICE CAREER:
In recognition of his immense talents and unwavering commitment to service and development of society, he responded to the clarion call of our Comrade Governor, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole to join the rescue team that is fully charged and prepared to take Edo State to the highest possible height in political governance and development. They have not failed in this endeavour.

As the Commissioner in the Edo State Ministry of Environment and Public Utilities from January 23, 2009 to July 25, 2010, he displayed strong leadership and brought in new energy and momentum to public governance. On July 26th 2010, Clem was further saddled with new challenge as Commissioner of Lands, Survey & Housing in Edo State. Haven initiated the required fundamental reforms in the Ministry of Lands, Surveys & Housing within a record time of five (5) months including the setup of the Edo State Geographic Information Services (EGIS); he was re-deployed back to the Ministry of Environment & Public Utilities on December 2, 2010. He was also a member of Edo State Economic Team and Chairman of Edo State Tenders Board 2009-2012, with the present Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki serving as the head of the team.

In line with the Governor’s vision, Clem championed the urban renewal and drainage infrastructural drive and the sustainable forest re-generation initiatives of the administration and also pivoting the solution to Edo State flood and erosion challenge, after over 30 years after the last major storm water project in 1979.

VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION AND BACK TO CHEVRON OIL
Clement AGBA resigned his position as Commissioner of Environment and Public Utilities in 2012 and returned to Chevron Oil, where he had been given a leave of absence to serve his Edo people. As a reward of his outstanding performance in Edo public service, the management of Chevrons oil elevated him to the position of Manager, Community Procurement Operations.

Before joining

AWARDS:
Clem is a recipient of several awards that are well deserved. Clem was bestowed with the National Award of Excellence in Leadership as the most outstanding Commissioner for Environment in Nigeria. He is a Professional Fellow of the Institute of Corporate Administration, Fellow Nigerian Environmental Society and a recipient of the Save the Ozone Award of Excellence in Environmental Management. He is also a Diversity Ambassador of Chevron Corporation. From the home front, he has received recognition and distinguished awards from the Uneme National Development Union, Uzanu Progressive Union, Auchi Allied Association and many more.

These honours where largely in appreciation of his outstanding professional performance and achievements but more in appreciation of his numerous philanthropic projects to his immediate community which includes the provision of electricity, Healthcare facilities, water project, school rehabilitation, other infrastructural amenities and scholarship to indigent but well deserving students.

Clem is happily married to the beautiful, dutiful and hard-working Catherine, a scion of the famous Gaius-Obaseki’s family of Benin-City. Catherine sits as head of one of West Africa’s most renowned and profitable corporate image and branding company, Oak Exclusive Designs Limited. Clem’s union with Catherine is blessed with four young men, who like the father and mother are already making outstanding contributions to humanity.

CHARITY/HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS
THE CLEM AGBA FOUNDATION
Giving and philanthropy has always been synonymous with Clem Agba. His support for the cause of the under-privileged has been legendary. He has a heart of love than is constantly gravitating towards charitable works - from scholarships to electricity and water projects and other efforts. During the devastating floods of 2012, Clem spent considerable amount of resources providing relief materials to several affected communities in Etsako-East and Etsako-Central Local Government Areas of Edo State.

In September 2010, his mother fell ill to what was assumed to be just the normal “malaria”. However closer examination discovered that she had Hepatitis C, which had advanced and had led to cancer of the liver. Despite spirited efforts with the best medical help available around the world, she succumbed to the disease and passed on in the early hours of 28 November 2012.

The diagnosis of Hepatitis C and its attendant relationship to cancer sparked an interest in Clem to pay a closer look at the damage Hepatitis was causing to the society. His discovery was shocking – Hepatitis was doing more damage to people that the dreaded HIV and AIDS and was causing more cancer and deaths than he had imagined. More worrisome was the glaring ignorance of the condition even among the read and elite of the society.

Clem therefore decided that he needed to intervene to stop these avoidable pains and deaths associated with Hepatitis. This birthed the idea of the medical mission in marking Clem’s 50th birthday.
The Clem Agba Foundation was thus formed to generally be a vehicle for philanthropic activities but with a primary focus on education, enlightenment, testing and treatment of different strains of Hepatitis (A,B, C, D and E) and its associated ailments and will also seek ways to collaborate and synergize with like minded organizations and individuals to help in research, treatment and alternative medicine approach to put a permanent end to this scourge that is ravaging not only Nigeria and Sub Saharan Africa, but several other places around the world. The main focus is to concentrate in Edo State for now as the saying goes – charity begins at home.

CONCLUSION:
Clement Agba is married to beautiful lady and blessed with children. It is our prayers that as he takes up the assignment at the national level, he will excel and contribute his quota to making Nigeria a better place.

Congratulations, Prince Clement I. Agba

The entire Uneme clan are proud of you and I am confident that Nigeria would benefit from you brilliance. I also commend Mr. Obaseki for nominating Prince Clement Agba not minding his sterling performance at nation level could dwarf him politically; that has reinforced your servant leader status. I hope Adams Aliyu Oshiomole can borrow a leaf from this that the true value of a leader is measured by how many great men he is able to raise.

May the souls of the departed continue to rest in the bosom of God Almighty

Modarun:
it is proven by research the very moment someone starts a sentence with “I am not a fan of”just knw he is exactly that which he tries to prove he isnt.
There were killings under Goodluck and the PDP, but under Buhari it has not only increased but spread to areas where there was relative peace.
Under Goodluck and PDP there was poverty, but under Buhari and the APC Nigeria has not only experience extreme poverty, we are now the poverty capital of the entire World.
What exactly are you holding unto for your preference of Buhari over Atiku? Nothing but sentiments. I would prefer you come clean than this sham you trying to pull.
One Atiku was never the substansive Head of State Buhari was for 2 and half years before he was kicked out, Atiku was never an executive President, he was a mere V.P, but Buhari is for close to 4years., yet on both occassion Buhari has failed woefully. Yet you want us to believe your support for a failure is born out love of country? Lol bros GTFO! Everyone knows only these 3 group of people supports Buhari.

1. Islamic fanatics, who believe he is propagating Islam.

2. The very microscopic few that dont care about the Future of the country and its unity, those who dont care if the country goes to the dogs as long as they are making money cos they support Buhari.
30k BMC crew

3. The Tinubu zombie part of the Swest whose interest is only to replace Buhari in 2023.

It has nothing to do with love of country and the advancement of the greater good of all, but premordial sentiments. Like i said earlier...

So choose amongst thevabove listed where you belong.

May God bless you and your generation. It baffles me how anyone in is right thinking sense would still support this administration; honestly, it bleeds my heart.
A government that prides itself as fighting corruption, yet Maina who is on EFCC watch list came into this country was provided with special forces, resumed work, promoted and yet someone is fighting corruption? How do you people even reason?
This isn't about APC or PDP but about the future and survival of this nation. We are far better than this as a people!

Woe to those who know the truth and because of one sentiment they choose to speak lie to truth. Some of the comments on this topic is the reason Nigeria is where it is today. What a shame!!!
Am sure Prof. Osinbajo would have been very proud of Peter Obi's performance.

Brittneysarah:
Governor Godwin Obaseki is only Human and has blood flowing in his veins

Stop defending the indefensible; the guy goofed. The people u highlighted did they sleep during the UN general assembly? Take a look at his itinerary which of them was he required by law to be in attendance? Why keep a retinue of staff if u can't delegate simple task as inauguration of a board?
For someone with his rich antecedent of accomplishment in private sector, it's unacceptable! Am not a fan of Buhari, but it's disrespectful to the office of the president of Nigeria that when the president was giving his speech, someone in his entourage could be in that state. The handlers are only doing what they paid for but please don't come and sell us that!
In any case, he's still my governor and I am proud of him

Woodpeckerdesig:
Wow this is interesting I just stumbled across this thread while researching Japanese indigo fabrics, from the Edo period.....but as a bottom line would not some kind of DNA testing reveal a connection, I am not a Dr ....but a recent social media video showed willing "contestants" exactly where they came from by DNA testing...

I think that's the way to go

Your numbers are not available please kindly provide an alternate number. Meanwhile, I would need the services of your installer.

You are very right! Bought one "Titus fish" few days ago and the taste, smell was very nasty.

I still dey wonder what kinda fish is that coz d bone sef
dey hard to chew but trust me .. I vex chop everything

Can't afford to waste shît for dis 9ja economy.

The key to knowing the real Titus is the color; it is much whiter and has a bright appearance, while "Oku Eko" on the other hand is darker with a dull appearance and has a much tougher skin. If it has been processed, "Oku eko" is not oily at all and quite tough to feel. Lastly the smell would tell them apart cos "Oku eko" has this funny smell that is not pleasant at all.

femtopyy:
Nairalanders, please what is the Yoruba translation of Titus fish?
I believe its okueko but someone is seriously Arguing with me so I decided to ask the house.
Thanks

I think it's a different variant of Titus. The real Titus is whiter and has a very pleasant taste. Honestly, if I have my way I would ban the importation of that rubbish called fish (Oku Eko). I can't stand the smell; I wonder how people are able to eat it? It has led to the separation of so many couples.

The real culprit in all of this is the idiotic driver who refused to stop. Justice would be served when that guy is made to rot in jail I guess that would serve as enough deterrent. I once had a very heated argument with a policeman cos I knew I was on my right and the argument was protracted, eventually my mum who was riding with me intervened; she spoke very calmly and politely to the policeman not minding the time wasted. I was asked to proceed on my trip. She asked me a very simple question..."if you were the one standing in the hot sun all day and someone comes and speaks to u in the manner you just did, how would u feel? Remember the police is carrying a gun". I learnt a very important lesson that day and has helped me in dealing with police subsequently. I am not in support of police extorting money from commuters under any guise, however, despite the public perception, the policeman is a human being and deserves some respect. May the soul of our beloved sister rest in the bosom of our Lord Almighty; I pray God grant the family the much needed fortitude to pull through this dark moment.

When people are seeking for clarification I don't think it warrant an insult. The grading system was changed in 1999 thus SSCE results before 1999 had A1, A2, A3, C4, C5, C6, P7, P8 & F9. I am also amazed that people are questioning the authenticity of the result because he studied Zoology; for Christ sake that is uttermost ludicrous! At a time Classics and History were the dream course. What's the place of one's passion? I had a far better result than GEF yet I studied veterinary medicine. As at today we have a zoologist as a past president and Yar ' A dua was a Chemist; how many of the so call professionals have we had as President?

Lifestone:
Bros sure you now agree that I am not a greenhorn in Nigeria election/politics. Read my analysis and match that with the outcome of the election

You did well. I hope Akeredolu would bring the much needed development to the good people of Ondo state. Congratulations to a very bright mind.

YourNemesis:
He doesn't even have all of Osse.
Places like Ido Ani are more Akoko than Owo in ideology.

Of course! Idogun, Imeri etc because they are closer to Isua than Owo. I used to accompany my mum to Idoani market from neighbouring Akoko-Edo growing up; how I missed Ido Ani akara . Ondo state has the longest and deepest shoreline in Nigeria. It is inexcusable that Ondo is not one of the most industrialized state in Nigeria. Let that man that would transform the destiny of an average Ondo indigene for good wins in Jesus name.

TplenT:
Why do people who are not on ground in Ondo state comment on issues like this now ?? haba.must U guys talk ?.
We in Akure knows who's pulling the crowd and who's not.Jegede would have been a better match for Oke but unfortunately for him,he no more in the race.As it stands,Oke has the highest chance of winning this election.How abi ??
1. Southern Senatorial district : Can Aketi ever even dream of winning in any of the six local governments in this place where Oke has his major Support base ?.If he manages at all,that might be Ese odo where his deputy(Agboola Ajayi) hails from cos Agboola is also no push over in his own local government and also being an Ijaw guy might want to play Ijaw sentiments.This senatorial district is soo sure for Oke.
2.Central district : this is the district with the highest vote and also where Mimiko hails from.Mimiko sensing his political death decided to play on the so called 'Akure Agenda' to pick a successor in Eyitayo Jegede from here so that he could garner the entire votes from Both Akure and Ondo,gather a few votes here and there and snick a narrow win.With Eyitayo no more in the race and the massive hatred for Mimiko here in Akure,this area will be shared between Oke and Aketi.
3.North district : this is where Aketi hails from.Unfortunately for him,he can only boast of support from 2 (Ose and Owo)out of 8 local goverments in the area.He is very much hated in the remaining 6 Akoko local governments which used to be sure bankers for ACN/APC simply because both Segun Abraham and Ajayi Borrofice whom he defeated in the primaries are from there.These 2 guys remain in APC but on instruction from Tinubu are working for AD.
For people mentioning Jimoh Ibrahim,he even isn't campaigning here at all.Believe me and ask anyone around here.
This election basically is between Tinubu and Buhari Cabal and a dress rehearsal for APC scheeming for 2019.

From you comment I can conveniently conclude that you reside in Ondo state and understand the politics of that state. Should Jimoh Ibrahim wins his LGA, I won't comment on any political topic on this platform. My advice to online commentators; do a random sampling of people you know from Ondo state and ask them who has the highest chance of winning the election?
Inclusion criteria: must be resident in Ondo state, Exclusion criteria: must not be a politician.

Lifestone:
My friend when did Oke campaigned to Akoko and how many location has he visited. I insist that Aketi has this election to lose.
Time will tell. Why is Oke struggling with cash, where is Tinubu cash? Where are the supporters of Tinubu behind Oke. How many days to election? Tinubu factor behind Oke may cause his downfall, the primary of APC should serve as a lesson.

Tinubu's anger is not towards Akeredolu as a person rather the way the cabal in APC manipulated the primaries to favor Akeredolu. They tried that in Bayelsa, but Sylva being a former governor was able to thwart their plans. I never in anyway implied that Tinubu is working for Oke but that he would work against the interest of Aketi and mind you all these are for 2019. Have u asked yourself how come the sudden romance between Buhari and Saraki? I detest money politics and hoping Ondo people would vote someone that would have their interest paramount not some demonic godfathers.

Lifestone:
So many commentary above failed to understand the layout of Ondo State.
Oke is campaigning in his local government and what do you expect. Until he begins to break heavily into central which is Akure and Ondo town area, I won't take him serious.
Akeredolu seems to have Ondo North without contest, which traditionally is the largest in the state. He needs to do very well in central and pick whatever in the south to win.
Back to Oke, if JIMOH Ibrahim picks the ticket, it will be bad market for him because his main base will have to be shared with JIMOH. He will need to spend more resources there to ensure he is not defeated in his base, that will distract him from the other senatorial districts viz North and Central.
As it is now the game suits Aketi. He is then left to defeat himself by been complacent.

It is obvious your are a greenhorn in Nigeria politics. Nobody wins election in Nigeria base on ideology rather on sentiments. As civilized as United States Trump played the ethnic card and it worked for him. Perhaps you don't know, an average Ondo north indigene (since Owos are minority) don't perceive Ateke mandate as theirs (same reason Peterside failed in rivers) and am sure u know Owo and Akoko are not the same people. Agagu's factor would play a role as Ondo south feels they haven't completed their turn. Mind u, no Ilaje man would campaign against Oke irrespective of party affiliations. The Tinubu factors: Tinubu won't vote in the election but he has loyalist of Ondo extraction across the length and breadth of the state and might work against the party to send a strong signal to Buhari that he's not a pushover in southwest politics. These people are much more motivated than the supporters of Aketi. However, INEC would determine who is declared winner. Allegedly, PDP won Edo election but who do we have there now?

I have immense respect for Wole Olanipekun SAN and he 's one of the best lawyers Nigeria has ever produced. Having said that, his victory in Rivers case was expected as u don't expect Supreme Court to reverse itself. Agbaje vs Ambode case settled that as such Delta, Abia, Akwa Ibom and Rivers must follow suit.

Is it a crime to be born in this part of the world? The earlier the government gets down to serious business the better for all of us. Fashola please consult Prof Nnaji he understood the problems in that sector better than any minister we have had. Lord please give us direction!
