Stupid girl, I don't know how people are so comfortable in exchanging saliva and bodily fluids with someone you know nothing about their health and sexual history. It's like some people especially men have immunity to STDs and others because before you say jack their boxers are already beneath their knees. I thank God for good home training sha .

PlayerMeji:
When they mention Obi in another post, you people will begin to cry and roll on the floor why did they mention his name in the matter...

Here you are, putting his name in an article that does not concern his name...

If Obi was that good, he would have turned Anambra into another Dubai abi have forgotten he was once a governor of a state in Nigeria and what was his impact?

WIKE is politically dead, all he can get his appointments. He will be among those who lose at home (SS/SE). The thing about treachery is that NO ONE CAN TRUST HIM.

Obaseki warns of looming crisis without remedial works on federal roads in Edo

_*…awaits response from letter to President Tinubu*_

_*...partners FRSC to boost emergency response on roads*_

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has again raised the alarm over the poor state of federal roads in the State, warning of a looming crisis in the next few weeks if remedial works are not carried out on the dilapidated federal roads.

The governor said he has written to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the deplorable state of the roads and the need for urgent intervention to ameliorate the sufferings of the people, noting that he is currently awaiting the response of the President.

Obaseki spoke when he received the Zonal Commanding Officer of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in charge of Edo, Delta and Anambra states, Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Chukwuma Njoku and the Edo State Sector Commander, Paul John Okpe, who were on a courtesy visit at the Government House, in Benin City.

The governor said it is regrettable that the extensive network of federal roads in the State which was supposed to be a blessing has now turned into a curse because the roads have been abandoned by the federal government.

He said, “Edo is blessed and also cursed with an extensive network of federal roads. A blessing because we are connected and a curse because the Federal Government has abandoned its network of roads in the State and it's causing us lots of problems.

“We have to continue to provide services to Edo people as they must move across the State and country and it has put pressure on us and you. We must look for solutions in light of the bad federal roads connecting Edo State. Something has to be done to reduce the risk of roads to users.”

Obaseki added, “The carnage on Ovia River Bridge can't be described. We thought working with the Federal Ministry of Works, we could put in place some remedial steps to reduce speed and save the lives of Edo people on that axis. Remedial work should be done on all the federal roads in the State like the Benin-Auchi Road, which will soon be impassable for passengers and goods.”

Warning of the looming crisis on the roads, the governor said, “We have to gear up for another major crisis in the next few weeks unless remedial work is done on those roads today. I have written to the President and hope that he responds to us.”

Noting that the roads have become a major cause of concern in the State, Obaseki stated, “At our last three Security Council meetings in the State, the issues of accidents have come out top as major security issues in Edo State. We have seen a dramatic increase in the loss of lives as a result of the accidents. Last month was particularly bad, arising from the issue from the Ovia River.

“As a State Government whose duties and responsibilities is to protect lives and properties, we are quite concerned and thought we should have a meeting with you being the Federal Government agency to manage traffic and see how to raise the alarm on reducing the incidence of loss of lives on our roads.

“Emergency response is another area we would want to look at and collaborate with you on to enable us to respond quickly to emergencies. We are working on road emergency response across the State and currently undertaking an inventory of all ambulances and their points in the State so we can integrate it into the projects we are working on. Also, we want to work with you in training first responders in those critical points in case of quick evacuation in terms of emergency to centres for help.”

He further added, “We enjoy cooperation with you in terms of towing trucks. We want to collaborate with you in that area as we don't have as many trucks as you. We would like you to work with our own traffic agency to subject many of our drivers, particularly our commercial drivers to training and collaborate on how to manage tragic situations in the State. We are ready to work more with you.”

On his part, the zonal commander commended the governor for the support and collaboration with the FRSC over the past years, adding, “The corps has increased the number of Commands from 12 to 17 to improve visibility here in the State. We have new Commands now in Igueben and Fugar. We also started establishing area commands and have established two: one in Sapele Road and the other in Auchi.

“We appreciate how you have been handling issues relating to the state of the roads in the State especially the protest on the state of the roads, ensuring it does not results in more damages.”

Grit2943:
SAO PAULO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - On their tenth day at sea, the four Nigerian stowaways crossing the Atlantic in a tiny space above the rudder of a cargo ship ran out of food and drink.

They survived another four days, according to their account, by drinking the sea water crashing just meters below them, before being rescued by Brazilian federal police in the southeastern port of Vitoria.

Their remarkable, death-defying journey across some 5,600 kilometers (3,500 miles) of ocean underlines the risks some migrants are prepared to take for a shot at a better life.

It was a terrible experience for me," said 38-year-old Thankgod Opemipo Matthew Yeye, one of the four Nigerians, in an interview at a Sao Paulo church shelter. "On board it is not easy. I was shaking, so scared. But I'm here."

Their relief at being rescued soon gave way to surprise.

The four men said they had hoped to reach Europe and were shocked to learn they had in fact landed on the other side of the Atlantic, in Brazil. Two of the men have since been returned to Nigeria upon their request, while Yeye and Roman Ebimene Friday, a 35-year-old from Bayelsa state, have applied for asylum in Brazil.

"I pray the government of Brazil will have pity on me," said Friday, who had already attempted to flee Nigeria by ship once before but was arrested by authorities there.

Both men said economic hardship, political instability and crime had left them with little option but to abandon their native Nigeria. Africa's most populous country has longstanding issues of violence and poverty, and kidnappings are endemic.

Yeye, a pentecostal minister from Lagos state, said his peanut and palm oil farm was destroyed by floods this year, leaving him and his family homeless. He hopes they can now join him in Brazil.

Friday said his journey to Brazil began on June 27, when a fisherman friend rowed him up to the stern of the Liberian-flagged Ken Wave, docked in Lagos, and left him by the rudder. To his surprise, he found three men already there, waiting for the ship to depart. Friday said he was terrified. He had never met his new shipmates and feared they could toss him into the sea at any moment.

Once the ship was moving, Friday said the four men made every effort not to be discovered by the ship's crew, who they also worried might offer them a watery grave.

"Maybe if they catch you they will throw you in the water," he said. "So we taught ourselves never to make a noise."

Spending two weeks within spitting distance of the Atlantic Ocean was perilous.

To prevent themselves from falling into the water, Friday said the men rigged up a net around the rudder and tied themselves to it with a rope. When he looked down, he said he could see "big fish like whales and sharks." Due to the cramped conditions and the noise of the engine, sleep was rare and risky. "I was very happy when we got rescued," he said.

Father Paolo Parise, a priest at the Sao Paulo shelter, said he had come across other cases of stowaways, but never one so dangerous. Their journey paid testament to lengths people will go in search of a new start, he said. "People do unimaginable and deeply dangerous things."

A whole professor, a whole pastor, educationally certified in the former and religiously (spiritually) certified in the latter, how and why, for posterity sake, did he allow himself to be dragged in the mud of hypocrite?

As you said bello isn’t easy, same way the electorates in Kogi State will never allow to rigged for his stooge Ododo in the November 11th governorship poll. The Kogi State electorates will surely stand by their votes and defend it with their blood from their various polling units to ward collation Center till they reach the Inec office in lokoja in Kogi State. Senator Dino Melaye is the people’s choice.

9jahotblog:
there’s no reconciliation here. You don’t understand politics at all. Infact Edward Onoja, yahaya bello deputy governor will work against Yahaya bello stooge, Ododo in the November 11th governorship election.

bello strength has been thoroughly defeated. Infact honourable James faleke will work against yahaya bello stooge, Ododo in the November 11th governorship poll. Senator Dino Melaye is a goal. Yahaya bello will lose Kogi central senatorial district to dino melaye of Pdp in the November 11th governorship election.

Your understanding of popularity is appearing on the covers of Ovation magazine and having a pretty face...

Who is she in the scheme of things in Igboland?

It is going to benefit the unity of the South East since most of Tinubu's ministerial appointees are nobodies...

We are seeing his little games and we shall be very ready...

Ministerial List: Tinubu Is Very Unfair To This Man Who Did A Lot For Him

President Bola Tinubu has been unfair to Festus Keyamo who did a lot defending him day and night especially on the narcotics issue.

No first batch
No second batch
Is it because he lost his polling unit during the presidential election?

emkz:
Mrs Anita Uzoka had a distinguished career in Zenith Bank before becoming Comissioner of Finance in Imo State. She did not follow politicians around.

Nkeiruka Onyejeocha has been in the House of Representatives for long, made meaningful contributions and sponsored sensible bills. She even took a shot at the house speakership in 2019. Mrs Uju Kennedy Ohanenye worked as a philantropist.

While many of you rallied round one candidate putting all your eggs in one basket, these women stuck their necks out for the candidate unpopular to your people. It was at the risk of their lives and future. Now is the time for reward, and you are saying they are not known. Rally round them and plan for the future.

You made your choices and they made theirs. Respect them.

Whiteangel1234:
From this Appointment , Just like Buhari , Tinubu is not serious with making any meaningful handshake to the south East people from His action .

He appointed 3 Unknown Abuja based woman following politicians around , nobody knows this Ladies in the south East, hence of no political value to the South East .


APC have continue to fuel agitation by their actions and inactions in the south East , 8 years of Buhari + Another Potential 8 years of Tinubu

List of Minster appointment are as follow , it show no seriousness or zero thinking involves

Doris Uzoka (Imo)

Nkeiruka Onyejeocha (Abia)

Iconic Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus has proclaimed that she holds religion responsible for the “biggest mistake” of her life.

She said a church where she was a choir member once pressured her into marrying her best friend who was the choir director.

The thespian said they were not supposed to be married, stressing that as friends they were fantastic but as a couple they didn’t work.

She disclosed this in a recent chat with popular media personality, Teju Babyface.

Damasus said: “Before him [my ex-husband] there was somebody else that I married. It didn’t work out. Nobody heard my voice. I didn’t talk about it. That passed quietly.

“It lasted eight months. Biggest mistake of my life because the guy was an amazing guy. But he was my friend, my best friend. And religion is what caused that problem that made us marry when we were not supposed to be married. We were supposed to be very good friends because as my friend, he was awesome. But as a married couple, we didn’t work. We just m*ssed it up. And we knew it.

So when we went our separate ways, we were like out of love and respect for each other, let’s just leave it. We don’t talk about it, we just leave it so that at least we can still say, hello, are you okay? How are you?”

This was After proclaiming that her marriage had ended on Youtube.
