OK, I am not going to take sides.




But if she indeed said she does not believe in prayers, then I don't see how that is a problem.




Maybe she is just a practical woman. If she doesn't believe in prayers, then there is something she must believe in.





However, what I have observed about that woman is that she appears to be in charge while Akeredolu seemed reserved. I don't know whether Akeredolu enjoyed such a marriage.

All stories coming out of Ondo have pointed to the fact that Mrs. Betty was the husband and Governor while the late Akeredolu played wife role in their marriage..

It was the power she enjoyed as Governor of Ondo indirectly that made her wheel the man back to Nigeria to pose for the camera.. just so the State Assembly won't take power away from her.

I agree with you that she has right to not believe in prayers.. but atleast she should have allowed the poor man resign on time and go for medical treatment abroad, maybe he'd still be alive and recovering now.

Akeredolu was just like every other naive Yoruba men out there who pick Igbo wives thinking it's love at first sight.. It's when they get into marriage proper that their papa eyes dey clear.

I want the new governor to probe the Finances of Ondo State right from the time the late governor tenure started because this is not the second or third time Ondo indigenes have come out to accuse Madam Betty of pocketing the State resources and packing Ondo government properties to Imo State where she hails from, including School buses.. It is totally unacceptable for her to pack Ondo State wealth to go build Mecca in Imo State.

Your common sense didn't tell you that all Alakijas can't come from same family?

You hear Folorunsho Alakija and you're still doubting her Yoruba heritage.. you're a sorry case.

check well, the new governor may still have Igbo wife/S since they swear some people with marrying Igbo women.

Watch out for Aketes children in ten to fifteen years time as governors with probably Igbo wives from their mothers side. They are already half Yoruba- Igbo like Gbadevor of Lagos and osun state governor etc. Even tinubus son will soon become governor of Lagos with his wife whose maternal lineage is from Anambra. You cant escape that. Your children too may end in the same way as you will end up with grand children of Igbo decent. Is turn by turn. More is still loading.

We know it's you people's plan to be polluting Yoruba blood through inter-tribal marriage with the hope of taking over our ancestral lands through proxy using half-breeds like the one who doesn't think in Yoruba, but guess what.. your plans have failed.

Late Akeredolu married his Igbo wife years ago when Nigeria was still "united", not now when Igbos are no longer hiding their deep rooted hatred for Yorubas. One of your Igbo sisters wanted to poison her Yoruba husband over election just the other day.
Our people don wise up my guy.

There is no problem atal.. he has been sworn in and has full power as the Executive Governor of Ondo State.. It's now for him to pick a Deputy from his party APC obviously and send the person's name to the State assembly for confirmation after which the Chief Judge will swear-in the person. Lobatan.

Emeka Ike fell from grace to grass all because of a woman.. sora fun obinrin, dem think say na joke.

The government should consider State police and community policing systems to secure lives and properties.. It'll be very hard for killers to be moving around settlements with several security outfits on ground.. Federal Police can't do everything.
Perilous times are upon us and we must act now.

Soldier of fortune spotted.. give him one appointment now and watch him sing Asiwaju's praises with all his might. Attention seeker ranu.

top10villa:
seun will not ban you, cos thats what flows in your blood, tribalism.

It's self preservation.. don't confuse the two.
I am a realist.

Mjshexy:
So fast, did he know the governor was going to die that he had this all planned out few hours after the unfortunate demise of the governor

It's called housekeeping.. the new governor is very smart.
No room for lapses.

Ondo State jobs for Ondo people please.. Imolites should go back to Imo State.

Enough of the father Christmas with our jobs and employment opportunities in Yorubaland.

It's a shameful thing actually.. Igbos left their home region to other parts of the country in search of money, yet they don't appreciate Nigeria that gave them that free hand to move around..

It's always Igbos that take money home during Christmas celebration.. other tribes don't get to make money from Igboland due to the hostility and bigotry in most places in alaigbo, yet they insult other Nigerians at will.

I have said it here and will keep saying it that Igbos are the biggest beneficiary of "One Nigeria" and that was why Azikiwe fought Awolowo just to have secession clause removed from our constitution, still made the proclamation that "Nigeria's unity is non-negotiable".
If any Igbo tells you he/she wants biafra and you believe, then you be correct ozuor.. you no get sense.

This 'gbaju e' man should rest na.. must he pass comment?

Leukemia is blood cancer right?.. chances of survival is very slim especially for the aged.

I feel the late Akeredolu should have handed over power to his Deputy a long time ago and go follow his treatment fully abroad.. now the selfish folks that surrounded him will move on with their lives while the gentleman is gone for good. Such a pity.

It's risky.. get treated first before anything.

Most of these drinks are now being mixed and bottled in Aba.. from soft drinks to beer to wines to anything.

There is no day you'll turn on the TV and won't see like 5 cases of End-Stage Kidney Failure patients, mostly young Nigerians seeking help to go for Kidney transplant.
The kind of wickedness growing in this part of the world is unprecedented.

@Justiceleague1

Do I need to school you?.. Kwara is the State which is a Yoruba State because Yorubas are the majority there, then Ilorin is the Capital city filled with different ethnic groups including Fulanis, Tapas and migrants like Igbos.

Notwithstanding, Yorubas are still in control of Ilorin... the Emir of Ilorin is pure Yoruba man (muslim), so I really don't know where the lies you folks spread on here originated from.

Life is vanity.. It takes a sound mind to understand that short sentence.

Wishing you best of luck Mr. Governor..

Please work for Ondo people, don't behave like other politicians that steal and loot anything and everything they lay hands on as if they will take a kobo with them when they die.

Even if he doesn't resign.. death of his principal has automatically terminated his appointment.

The new governor will bring on board his own SAs and likely replace all political appointees in Ondo State.

Yorubas built and groomed Lagos State to where it is today.. Our cities knew peace and tranquility ever before amalgamation and creation of Nigeria by Lugard and the British.

If you pay attention to Ahmadu Bello's interview in the sixties.. he warned us specifically about a group of people in the South who love to go about and dominate, claiming what belongs to others as theirs.. that is the exact problem we are facing right now.

'Name is indeed powerful'

Mr lucky is lucky

Goodluck too comes to mind..

Mr Lucky better not pick just any name as Deputy.

Farewell to Mr. Akeredolu.. may your soul find eternal rest.
So painful.

1stGenAmerican:
Nothing will come like many other Blacks killed by police, what are you talking about? The police officer who killed George Floyd is in prison for the next 20+ years and his family received a $20 million dollar settlement—you call that nothing?
This is different because this man had a knife and refused to drop it.

No amount of settlement can replace a man's life you know.. the son will have to grow up without a father. Those abroad guys in their Police can do better.

He won't greet his elders because the impostor Chinedu he was rooting for didn't win.. very stvpid somebody with his useless skits.

Prof. Wole Soyinka should add 6 months to make it 1 year and 6 months to be fair on President Tinubu.. the ab0kis under Buhari almost killed Nigeria, looting treasury like it's no man's business.

This country is really blessed to stibb be standing till date.. thieves are just too much in the political class.

Whatever you can afford.. don't steal and don't borrow to celebrate Christmas.

They'll like Shettima because he is from North..
They're looking for every means possible to get back in bed with their masters up North.

The North is filled with criminals called elites like Hadi Sirika who deliberately impoverish their people so they can be stealing money and keep buying estates in Dubai and UAE..

If you go to some States in the North, you'll cry.. with their almajiri and street begging nonsense that is now wide spread menace in the Northern region.

Hadi Sirika has mouth to be condemning the same people he and his croonies impoverished.. a very wicked and heartless man that scammed the entire country with fake Nigerian Air who ought to be in jail now.

I can buy it and dash it out but I can't use it.

As meter no dey for the place, how you wan take know the exact body count?.. If it's 30, they'll tell you it's 3.
