Oshiomhole apologises to widow as PDP institutes fund

GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, on Friday, apologised for the comments he made to a widow in Benin during an inspection tour on Mission Road, in the state capital, a fortnight ago.

Oshiomhole said that he regretted the comments which had become the subject of discourse on social media.

The governor, however, noted that he made the comments in anger.

Oshiomhole’s apology was made when the leadership of the Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN) paid him a courtesy visit in Benin.

He noted that though the challenge of modern times had bestowed on the shoulders of some women and single mothers the status of breadwinners of their homes, such should not be used as an excuse to flout the laws.

The governor urged the Muslim women leaders to use their offices to propagate the essence of healthy living among children and women in the nation and the need to maintain proper sanitary conditions in their neighbourhoods.

Meanwhile, the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Friday, announced that it had instituted an endowment fund for the widow.

The PDP, in the release, asked the widow captured in the video of the encounter with Governor Oshiomhole to come to its secretariat at 70, Sapele Road, Benin City, to receive a first-installment sum of N250,000.

In the statement signed by the state chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih, the party described the governor’s actions as “appalling, insensate, disgraceful, indecent, cruel and below board,” noting that “we will continue to stand in the gap to ensure that Edo people are deservedly fairly treated.”

If you go Transcorp every night, you will get girls approaching you each night. Girl na girl, woman na woman.

if na APC goon talk this now, all the people will say something else.

what attitude? You are one of those who thinks the immigi officials should worship you because you just arrived from abroad? Give them your passport, get it stamped, move on, get your bag, face customs, simple. Which attitude?

I am sure this crappy thread will soon hit the front page. No crime if he drinks.

Dull effort.

OP, shut your trap. Which statement are you talking about? You have ascribed yourself knowledge that you dont possess. Abeg let people talk and dont quote them out of context.

femogbangba:



Why are you misquoting me na?

The liar here is GEJ, the daftest leader Nigeria has ever had

The President that insists that corruption is not a problem in Nigeria

The President that surrounds himself with Yes-Men and sycophants and has no rudimentary clue about governance

His state - Bayelsa despite billions in allocation is one of the most unlivable states in Nigeria

You are here shouting on an empty stomach while Shepopo your jesus on earth is committing crimes against humanity on her waistline.

honestly speaking, you have lost face, you said something very wrong, and you are trying to cover your face. Mtchewwwww. Abeg, hit the sack. Go sleep.

I am sure majority of you had been banned at one time or the other - me I had been banned and resurected a few times. When you get banned, several spurious reasons are given by the swollen headed moderator.

A few odd ones are:

You are banned because your head is too big.

You are banned because you havent foked today.

You are banned because you are an impostor - imposting who?

You are banned because one of your legs are shorter than the other

You are banned because your dik is too short.

You are banned because your breast is too large.

How come - please tell us more reason why you had been banned.

Apart from an ugly backside, a very reaveling dress sense, if you look at her face properly, or see her from afar, you will know she is realy ugly- do you share this opinion,

Dont you know that MrCrackles is a fool?

@game rod

You wan make money for Europe before you come back? you make me laugh, since you dey there, how much money you don save? make money for europe, as if na so the thing easy. you make me laugh, even my dik self they laugh you.


You will be surprised if I tell you I have lived 6 years in Hackney - London, E5 and have gone back to Nigeria, then you will shut up and beg for to be my gate man in Nigeria.


This man is just contracdicting himself, 

1. You cannot save in Europe, I wander how you bought a plane ticket to travel to Nigeria since you cannot save in Europe, abi na deport them deport you I can see why u get back belle. 

2. I lived in Hackney E5 for 6 years, that part of town is full of low lifers and illegal immigrant you are better of in nija, at least all those duck and diving from authorities will stop, you are now a free man in nija so enjoy you stay.

3. Mortgages are a way of life in europe, even Gordon Brown the prime minister has a mortgage, Tony blair has mortgage, so if you don't know anything about mortgages keep quiet.

4. I said in one of my post earlier on, all those going back are either illegal immigrants like yourself, fraudster who take off before the long arm of the law catches up with them or students from wealthy homes with political God fathers who will sort them out in Nija otherwise nothing for commoner for nija.

so because someone did what you can only dream about doing, he/she is now a fraudster?

You wey go rot for your street cleaning job for London, or whereever you dey - , dey happy say you dey pay rent and you dey call am mortgage, who wants the likes of you for Naija anyway? You will be so irrelevant, just adding to the number.

Ha ha Game Rod, I am delighted to hear that your secret weapon against armed attack by Nigerian robbery gangs is PRAYER.  Ha ha ha ha, Praise the Lord !   Ha ha ha  

I really should try that sometime, though I would estimate that an easy 99.99% of all crime fatalities in Nigeria answered the Call to Glory despite being  "God-fearing Prayer Masters" who regularly fell to their knees to seek divine protection until they were finally cut down with bullets delivered unto them by robbers or policemen either at home, or while out driving Nigeria's Highways To Heaven.

Maybe God is currently too busy to process Nigerian prayers until further notice, so in the meantime I shall continue to rely on my escape module's V8 horsepower and my God-Given firepower to stay alive whenever I am in Nigeria.

what has he said?

when have they atarted writting contact details on international passports?

he should be shot publicly.

Some people's brain have been tucked inside their butt holes.

Mr Muza - assuming you know the meaning of the word naive, and assuming that you are in your right senses, and also assuming that you have not been denied food all day, and also assuming that your understanding of the english language is not to be faulted, then, I ask you, what is naive in asking a question? or posing a topic for discussion, pray, in your wise sense, tell me, instead of making a meaningless contribution which makes no sense at all, pray!

The year is 2009, you have the opportunity of travelling abroad, and you also just got a new job - both doesnt come with equal chances, because to travel abroad, you have to sell all you have to get tickets money and settling down money - which one will you go for - travel, because their is "sufferhead" in Nigeria or stay in the "sufferhead" and managing the job you just secured.

There is this thinking amongst Nigerians living abroad, that Nigeria is so bad that they could have been nothing if they havent travelled abroad.

Is this a true saying? Is it true that only children of the rich and well connected make it in Nigeria?

Based on the above, is it then advisable - in this year 2008 - 2009 for people to still sell their belongings for the sake of travelling abroad? Is it true that you can only make it abroad?

Bull shit. It amazes me the way these people reason, they reason as if all the population of Nigeria is down trodden and as if only those that has travelled out of Nigeria has or will make it good in Nigeria, what a downsided way and manner of reasoning? Gone are the days when you sell all your property just to travel abroad, just like it was b4, when we were growing up, it was only people who couldnt make their school certificate papers to go into the university, it is only these people who travel outside the country out of shame of seing their mates in university while they are not, these order is coming back, and has indeed come back- an average Nigerian these days does not give a hoot if you have travelled abroad or not, because, they know, you might have gone to pack shit, roam the streets or at worse, be in jail, while they are making it right in the same Naija which you left behind.

Their argument is understandable - they will never agree that you can make anything in Nigeria - if they agree with that statement, then you are making them regret their staying abroad to live - so, lets pardon their lopsided way of reasoning and thinking there is nothing good out of Nigeria.

its sex

stay in Europe while we few stay in Nigeria to enjoy the fruits of the land.

I realy wonder the jungle where these people emanated from before they travelled out of Nigeria.

Jakumo:

While some of the Nigerians resident in the United States do visit Nigeria now and then to touch base with their ancestral homes, any romantic notions of  remaining in Nigeria are promptly quelled by any of the following occurrences.

1.  Attack by armed robbers on the way from Lagos airport and before the travellers reach their destination.

2.  Three hour delay by policemen on the way from Lagos airport, during which all baggage is taken apart and searched for cash and valuables, which are likely to be confiscated by the long arm of the law in exchange for free passage into the hands of the next gang of policemen.

3.  Arriving into a dwelling that has not been supplied with grid electricity for several years, and where the newly refurbished Aba-made Indian generator breaks down in perfect timing with the arrival of the homecoming guest.

4.  Attack by armed robbers at the residence of the new arrival, followed by a leisurely rape and robbery of all victims found therein, even as the escapees try to summon the police by phone, only to find that the phone is dead, or that even when it works, to be informed by the police that there is either no fuel for the only working patrol vehicle, or that the officer holding the armory keys has returned to his hometown for the New Yam Festival.

5. Surviving or evading the police and armed robber welcoming committee, only to be confronted daily by scores of people sitting patiently outside the new arrival's house, and all claiming to be relatives of the newly arrived "Dollar Man", and all with well rehearsed sob stories of woes that can only be cured with a wad of hard currency.

6. Getting stopped for three hours on what should be a fifteen-minute car ride, because the road is filled with craters big enough to conceal a battle tank, and during that gridlock, to be robbed at knife or gunpoint by roving robbery gangs who specialize in fleecing the occupants of trapped cars.

What a way to describe a falacy - which roads have you described? the same airport we all pass thru every month on arrival from overseas?

If all those things you have listed happened to you, then you need deliverance - it is not a state of the nation, it is a spiritual attack, dont you think? You need serious prayers.

good life can only be found in America? No good life in Nigeria? I wonder what these people were when they were in Nigeria, paupers, poor souls, nobody, etc? I think I am begining to feel for them actually, I now understand what they mean by leaving a good life in America and coming to Nigeria where they will live in abject poverty - as if everyone in Nigeria lives in abject poverty. Probably, before they travelled, they lived in bushes, tatched hut houses, etc, but now, they travel out and they have the priviledge of leaving in a wooden block of flats and they hail that as the end of the world - the pretty good life.

Go back to Nigeria, check those mates of yours whom you left behind, you will be amazed what they have acheiveed when you were gone, and then, you will open your eyes and say, Nigeria aint that bad, boo.

google images will show you lots of Aso Rock pictures!

@Ay-pumping

Your story is very beleivable - nothing doubtful there at all, you have your convictions, so, what else do you want us to say? but, one thing is this, that she comes late to your house doesnt indicate that she was screwing another man, neither does smelling indicate she had just been laid, you know? and even you, smelling or no smelling, you were still able to do two rounds, so, if she wasnt smelling, how many rounds you for do self?
