South Africans and killings na 5 & 6.
That south African wife of his needs to be questioned. Rip man..

Which questioning again, when it is clear she murdered him. Some men sha, if you don't have permit to operate an account can't he send most of his money to Nigeria accounts and just leave little to his wife for day to day running. She orchestrated the divorce too cos he knew the kind of money in her account already. The man na Mumu joor. I no trust niaja wife talk less foreigners.

skywalker240:
Obaseki to me is the best Governor so far I've witnessed in my almost 10 years in Edo State

You entered Edo state when Oshiomole was about to leave. Ask those who have stayed ten years before your coming. Oshiomole remains the best governor of Edo since 1999. Most of the roads you see in Benin city were constructed by him, red roof revolution in primary and secondary school were also his making across all the local government. He rehabilitated all general hospitals and build that Edo specialist in ringroad area. He introduces traffic light that Obaseki almost killed when many were not function and the people began to complain on daily basis, before he restored it out of Water fountain was a delight then to fun seekers and Obaseki could not maintain it. Just wait in about a year and see good changes.

OVB123:
He didn't reversed any policy of the previous government.
Check your records very well.

Leave the hater to continue to lie. He promised to continue the good legacies of the past administration but cancelled the bad ones. He removed the non career permanent secretaries and appointed new ones who rose through the system. He restored back the initial Benin royal meseum that Obaseki promised before he went to bring his criminal gangs to develop the west African museum that he said it's private business but this government discovered that he gave out 1.8b to them and even have to destroy part of central hospital which is Edo government property and donate the land to them free. They are many more, so that guy want gov Okpeboho to continue all those abi.

AllTheWayUp:
U spoke the head truth, after the foolish Monday Okpebholo because of politics of bitterness stopped Edo State from using the Obaseki's template, within one month Edo State internal generated revenue dropped by over 30% , which was never experienced throughout the 8 years of Obaseki.

You are a liar, bring the fact and not to make foolish statements.

AllTheWayUp:
Confused Governor, he is now going back to Obaseki's policies after reversing them

He good governor continue his predecessor program that is good and he has been doing it and canceled those bad ones. He will end up as a better governor than Obaseki surely. Don't because of hatred and say what you don't know. I hope you are not from the bitter people region, cause they don't see what others are doing, expecially if they are of APC. Their saint party elected members has moved out in droves. Our governor has started well and he will end well too.

vowiski:
..

I told a couple of folks, no governor will see the Template created by Obaseki to generate money from the state and cancel it for any tout.

Even a mad man will continue the existing Template. You seat in government house and see your money entering the system..

Than to reverse it and give it back to Kabaka..

Government needs money to work and the existing template works like a charm.

Obaseki was a terrible politician (according to tigers and lions ) but he definitely was a good administrator.

Honestly the Obaseki model of tax collection was the best and it will have been a great disservice if governor Okpeboho reverse it. It reduces toutism in Edo. But is not a good administrator in terms of practical development. He got few things right and failed in many aspects. All the promises he made to Edolite during campaigns for re election was not done. Flood will have been a thing of the past in Edo now but he abandoned the great work of Oshiomole through the Benin water storm project, that some areas were already tackled by oshiomole administration. Areas like teachers house that landlords and landladys became tenant but came back to their houses after that massive flood control. Ugbowo road was so terrible even when it is a federal road but oshiomole addressed that too but unfortunately the canals developed were covered by sand and grasses through out Obaseki tenure. Governor Okpeboho has promised to go back and look at the design and restored it back. Obaseki major re election campaign was to build a flyover in ramat area to end the terrible holdup but never bothered.if governor Okpeboho delivered this two critical and important project, he will be loved by Edolite and expecially the Benin's who their son failed to allieviate the sufferings associated with the current menance. When it rain, you will dislike Benin city and the GRA is even worse hit.

Sharingiscaring:
But why are their sons and daughters - like Rotimi Amaechi - associating with Ohaneze?

Why did he not associate with Ohaneze as governor.

CSTRR:
A combined ticket of atiku as president and obi as VP will defeat tinubu before 12pm on election day.

Will the ticket happen?

That's the million dollar question.

Nzogbu nzogbu politics has blind your eyes not to know, how Obi referred to both Atiku and Tinubu as criminal gang, that he promised to dismantle but unfortunately he is romancing with one of the gang.

Watch video

I am a huge fan of burna boy ever since he debut cos his songs are more of inspirational than Big wiz and Davido. I see him as the rebranded Fela of blessed memories. However, i give it to Davido for his simplicity and his genuine demonstration for willingness to settle the rift
between themselves. He showed nobody can influenced him by his decisions, maybe outside is dad and dangote his godfather. I pray they all settle their differences. They are the three big Iroko for now.

Tinubuadvocate:
Lol the two leaders that locked them inside Are in prison yet they still can't free themselves.


No region will ever accept this...Federal government really need to intervene this people are very weak and the oppressors are taking over their possession.

Honestly the are actually weak and fearful. How can they still be observing sit at home when Ekpa has been arrested. This can't happen in other region when someone outside and now been caught will be directing them. They always boast of been hard but event of recent, as shown the opposite. May God delivers them from fear to be able to overcome the situation at home syndrome.

DeepSight:
Does that mean it must take him one and a half years to have a first encounter with the media? You guys admire western democracy, and you see the way even Presidents and Prime Ministers are interrogated by the press (and they make themselves available constantly).

But here, because you worship a criminally corrupt, entitled and disdainful leader whose policies continue to kill thousands of people in this country, you feel its ok for his majesty to ignore the media for one and a half years straight. You people are slaves who dont deserve freedom.

They don't interact with a bias media outfit. Trump cancelled the second debate and still won.

tnerro1:
Dem say we Dey band b for light, but e be like say na band b minus dem put us oo, no light since morning and I can waste my fuel to listen to nonsense and ingredients, make I just go one joint go chill first

Even what you said is nonsense.

DeepSight:
Lol. You are obviously not serious if your argument is that the President should only have media interaction with obviously subservient agencies. You are a joker. You are the type of human being who makes arguments in favor of slavery. You dont deserve freedom.

Kill yourself cos Rufai is too small for Tinubu to descend with. All president and head of states ever in Nigeria, uses NTA or as it was called then to interact with the citizen. Foolish propaganda Arise tv will not be entertained by the government. Let the fat fool owner and Rufai wait when Obi becomes the president of Biafra and interview him.

hedonido:
You're adamantly stupid.

Always coming out to support rubbish. So proud of the fact that your useless Tinoopig and other criminals like him can weaponize the deliberately imposed poverty and ignorance of the vast majority of Nigerians to gain and consolidate power. Are you not ashamed?

If there are 100 blind people and only 1 person with vision, should the one person not be empowered to decide the direction of the remaining 99 blind people? Who else would prefer the inimical 'sufrage' of the majority 'blind' people over the minority who can see, if not those with warped agendas?

Very disgusting animal.

Don't bother to reply, because I wouldn't read whatever disgusting rubbish you have to say. But of course you will, like the useless robot you are. And you would be wasting your time.

Don't you see you are ignorant. He simply said the truth. Arise tv is a propaganda station and only support pdp and now labour party. It's a known fact. If not foolishness, how Arise tv crew will tell Ighodaro to ask Okpeboho to come for debate, without the proper channel. All propaganda they made in support of Obi failed.

zero8zero:
So, you can't show us a single thing ipob have ever done to better the life of an average Igbo?. Not even a wheelbarrow or a bicycle tire they have donated to people?

What are you saying, they have donated tears, sorrow and agony to igboland.

vanbonattel:
Chinedu bought forms and competed, he campaigned but was rejected by his people for being half igbo. Bianca didn't.

Ifeanyi Davido Adeleke will never be governor or senator, he will just be a musician.

Davido can be cos his mum is from Edo, benin precisely. We most Edo share tiles with Yorubas and nothing with igbos. Have you seen Yorubas and Edo fight each others. Even when you Obidients place Edo has headquarters of Obidients but still not stop us from uniting with Yorubas. Benin culture is similar to Yoruba. They inter marry too. Ayelala and Ogun mostly use in benin are Yoruba words. Davido has no name as ifeanyi but only his late son.

Ojiofor:
She is representing Anambra state today as a minister no one complain.

If you people have the power to stop her, you would have so but powerless. When she was nominated, many of you on nairaland were boasting that she will reject it but went on to accept the junior minister.

vanbonattel:
Or Chinedu Rhodes Vivour.

Bianca was never serious about the senate ticket. She didn't fight foe it. She was comfortable as an ambassador.

What of Betty Akeredolu

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

vanbonattel:
In the other region, if your mother is not from their region, you will never be state governor.

Ask the LP candidate in Lagos.

I supported the Yorubas for not allowing the bastard to be governor of Lagos state. Go to his Twitter pages and see how he has been insulting is suppose tribe ever since. His mother has infected him with the bitterness of her people. If you igbos didn't have any bad motive towards Yorubas, while did labour party replaced a full Yoruba with someone who can't speak is fathers tribe but speak his mothers own fluently. The Yorubas were ahead of you people politically and saw your plan but beat you people to it. Since he speak igbo fluently, let him contest Anambra governor ship election to prove his leadership skill so that Yorubas will now regret of missing out. Anything outside that is waste of time for him in Lagos.

vanbonattel:
That's proper Igbo behaviour, they seek out merit, even if its not their own.

Other Nigerians will employ a proper slowpoke, as long as he's their brother. Chronically insecure people.

There is nothing proper about igboland cos we would have seen good governance ever since. You guys are just waking up to merit based appointment. Lagos has been doing it since 1999 under Tinubu. The current provost of school of nursing and midwifery along sapele road in Benin, she is from agbor. Under El rufai, he appointed a Benin woman has the chairperson of internal revenue board.

Alliswell248:
Well deserved.

One man army.....this guy exposes the gbadue man.
Gbadue and hypocrite. The gbadue man always zip his mouth when things takes place in the sad yeast....
Nigerians deserve someone better in 2039.
Umahi / Wike / Soludo are more liberal.

U may disagree

Wike is a performer but power drunk. Either Soludo or Umahi. The two are also performers too.

francotunsco:
Shift make I check the list!

Is Rufai Oseni on that list?

If not, that guy should go and sit down!

No real organisation in Nigeria, talk more of Africa will recognize him. He is too controversial.

OkCornel:
The image laundering won’t still help with ministerial or aide appointment. Too bad

He doesn't really need it. He attained the level of senior special advice to the president. He was one of the closest to the president then. He is blessed beyond measure. I salute his deep knowledge of understanding.

EmperorCaesar:
Needless explanation

Leave him cos he go explain tire and no evidence. Reno is a nightmare to our Obidients brothers. He back is talking with fact, unlike those miscreants.

Sermwell:
Believe this useless APC government at your risk! Something that's common knowledge here in Benin!
In the coming days, Benin will be worse than imo state! APC destroys anything it touches!!

My comment is not for any agbado munching nitwits or Ronu wailing bastards!

Be warned!

Even when the principal actors, the NLC has exonerated the State government of breaking. Why don't you guys quit the nzogbu nzogbu syndrome. Everytime, you guys make jest of yourself.

Housing:
OPC was formed during the Abacha to fight for Abiola's mandate. Tinubu returned schools back to the Missionaries as promised during his campaign.
Tinubu constructed Millennium Schools across the 20 Local Government. Engr Funsho Williams condemned it as waste of scarce resources and Tinubu's relied that our students do not only need a conducive environment but a befitting environment for learning. The whole of Lekki Epe Expressway was a single carriage road and the only enviable structure along that axis back then was Chevron Headquarters. Tinubu opened up Lekki Epe corridor for mega development and real estate revolution which was unprecedented in our clime. The whole of Lagos was full of refuses. Tinubu rejuvenated LAWMA and the heaps of refuses becomes history. He laid foundation for BRT, he established LASTMA, LAMATA, etc. You can accused Tinubu of other things but definitely not good governance and administration ingenuity. He audited Lagos State Civil Service population, restructured and position it for better service delivery. He fashioned a better ways of revenue generation and collection which is now the backbone of the Lagos financial strength and sustainability.

Those guys are ignorant. Tinubu was the first to conceive free trade zone in Nigeria and even his harsh rival, president Obasanjo copied. I am not is supporter. What he introduced as governor of Lagos state, some states copied too. Oshiomole copied LASTMA to setup EDSTMA. His tax consulting firm, alpha beta was not only limited to Lagos state cos either Enugu or Abia state consulted his firm.

flokii:
I can see his 'fakeness' through the photo.. if he has opportunity, he'd strangle the neck of our amiable President.

A natural senate president but the kind of bitterness his brothers have for yoruba, made him to be an onlooker in the party he contributed to, expecially in south east. He was already a billionaire before he became governor. Slok group was among the top business group in Africa. I was so surprised he allow the nzogbu nzogbu syndrome to affect him. I agree that, both him and Tinubu are very rich and influencial but Tinubu has made a lot of political tigers, lions and elephant, who can take bullet for him. How many as Orji kalu made. Tinubu made governors, ministers, senators, speakers of either state assembly and federal assembly. An above all, after much trying by Buhari to be president, it's once support made him president.

rinzaugustine:
James Ibori was one of the best governors of his set. It was just that Obasanjo set him up to be imprisoned in London over the presidency issue. Obasanjo wanted a northerner in 2006 while Ibori, Odili and Alamiesigha wanted a Niger deltan since most of Nigerian revenue comes from Niger Delta

lies, they were both looking to be vice president after it down on them that southerner can't replace a southerner again, especially Odili. Obasanjo was scared of Odili and Ibori to vice to Yaradua. Ibori was among the major financial of the joint ticket of Yaradua and Jonathan. Jonathan set up Ibori, because Ibori was disrespectful to him as the vice president then. Ibori and Silva of bayelsea state governor then, were undiming Jonathan to become acting president. When Jonathan became the president after Yaradua's death, he denied Silva second tenure by cancelling the primaries he had won and disqualified him for contesting the new schedule one. His political son then, Dickson an house or Rep member, became the governorship candidate of pdp and won the election. Always be factual.

hisexcellency34:
President Bola Tinubu’s picture with two class of 1999 governors.

The three were governors from 1999 - 2007

The president is holding the hand of one while the other is embracing him by force

You see the difference between Ibori and Kalu. Nzogbu nzogbu politics make Kalu to look like someone on appeal and showing remorse to not have supported him earlier to become president. Ibori's picture with the president look like my guy situation. You saw the relationship. Ibori has a pdp member but was not against Tinubu or in support during electioneering but he smartly identified with Apc through his daughter after Tinubu's ascension to power. Honestly I don't know if age will be on the side of Soludo when presidency comes back to south in 12 years time, if God spare my life, I will do everything in my capacity even if is within my LGA to support him. His my first choice from the east and Umahi second. Soludo has all it takes to be an amazing president. Real billionaire Kalu who was suppose to be the Senate president but allowed emotions to reduce him to just onlooker in Apc he contributed to be strong in south east. I have huge respect for him, cos he was among the only few governors in 1999 who were successful in business, before being governor. Slok group. I was against Obasanjo when he frustrated slok airline in Nigeria and the airline went to be the official carrier of, I think Gambia president or so can't really remember now. He was the highest donor to pdp immediately formed for presidential election. In life, identify who pass you. It might not be financially, what of politically. Akpabio made so much money as governor but still step down and support Tinubu. Today he is the SP. Oshiomole may not have super wealth but he commands huge followership but still loyal to Tinubu and it even cost him the national chairmanship of APC. During the presidential Apc primaries, no Igbo step down for even among themselves, talk more of a more formidable candidate Tinubu. Kalu was even supporting Ahmed Lawal a Northerner to replace Buhari another northern, just because he don't want a Yoruba man to be president, when it was obvious Tinubu had a better chance. Look at the both pictures now.

Macphenson:
So what this illiterate governor is telling us is they wont obey supreme court ruling.

Interesting time to be a Nigerian . I hope when everybody in Edo state start flouting court rulings which is a recipe to anarchy this APC illetarate wont complain.

If you follow the constitution properly, despise the supreme Court pronouncement, state government still has the power in checkmating the local government in regards to how they use thier finances. Also the state house of assembly has the power to suspend any defaulting LGA chairman. Thou the action of my governor is a political vendetta against them cos all the chairmen cant possibly at same time be accused of embezzlement. Honestly the supreme Court fail to address that aspect and politicians are so crafty, that they will explore any loopholes. Okpeboho should allow the chairman resume their duties cos the people they respectively govern in the grassroot should hold them accountable for the direct allocation from the federal government. The governor should know that four years is really not big cos if he didn't perform to expectations, we will boot him out cos we Edo don't forgive. It's do me, I do you. He started well but let the issue of this not derail him. Tony Anenih, Oshiomole and Obaseki were loved at once particular time but when they took it for granted, we disgrace them. Oshiomole was a good governor and a performer but he was not spared, when he went against Obaseki and also the candidate he presented was not what we Edolite really wanted but Obaseki second tenure was a disaster and we stop him from bringing his friend to continue his legacies that are 70 percent fraudulent. That Oshiomole was the major catalyst of bringing him to power, our governor should know his boundaries. We no dey forgive oh. Politics of lording over is not permitted in our state.

SmartPolician:
Oga, rest! Tinubu cannot beat Peter Obi in Lagos in a free and fair election. The only way Tinubu can do that is to deploy his thugs and get local chiefs (bales) to disrupt elections.

So your brag is about Obi winning Lagos and losing in very important states. Nzogbu nzogbu politics anyway. 2027 will be a different ball game cos most Yorubas will not vote for Obi, haven't seen his true colours and his peoples attitude.
