Growing up as a kid, herders would stop by our family house to fetch our tap water with permission. We were friendly with most of them and I thought they were nice people.

Fast forward.... A different breed of Fulanis have taken over the country. They are evil, ruthless and ready to kill. The Government is not helping matters with the manner they are treated with kid gloves. And this brings us to the issue at hand.

Most of the cows you see are not directly owned by these Fulanis. They were purchased by top politicians and Government officials, and handed over to the herders to be managed.

Even David Mark used to own so many cows at some point. Now, do you see why it will be difficult to tame the herders?

Truly, Buhari failed to move against them because they are his tribesmen and that was why they got the guy to do what they like. State governors in the south should take a hard decision against them and the federal government throw support. People are now using them to make money from kidnapping. It's so annoying then in Benin, seeing them roaming the street. South south govs met and take a decision to stop open grazing but only our governor buckle out because some politicians, businessmen are into cow business. Esama of Benin has a lot in his hometown in okada and they move around the road with audacity.

Who are the "they" that can't hold national convention?
Are you not part of the "they"??
Bunch of opportnist that thought PO will win the election so as to be parading themselves as heroes of democracy.

There are two things that you can't separate an average Nigerian from; hypocrisy and shamelessness.

You have said it all, most of the leaders and candidates of labour party were internally display politicians (IDP). They saw labour as a vehicle to become relevant. If they had won, they will have been doing worst cos greed will set in. Most of them decamped from other parties to labour. Imagine the fight just because of money realize couldn't be shared amicably. Abure the national chairman was a tenant in GRA Benin before obi decamped and he now have a street in ogunwenyi area of off airport road named after him with a beautiful mansion. I only pity the blind, brainless and myopic Obidients who contributed their money for them. Their quarrel has been all because of money sharing and nothing else. Aisha has also made money too.

Racoon:
This is a private enterprise that just confirms that achieving optimal electricity generation is feasible but the innate lack of political will by the Nigerian government under the APC and institutional corruption are the bane.

Which party president couldn't give account of 16b dollars to generate electricity. Your foolishness is top notch. Who sold the distribution part of PHCN, the disco to mostly in experience owners.

Eriokanmi:
Don't mind him. It's baffling how every ruling party in Nigeria always uses the judiciary to have their way. That sector needs a reform. As far as I know, the judiciary isn't playing their roles in Nigeria as a truly independent entity. In Nigeria, Joe Biden's son would forever remain untouchable cos the judiciary will give him the backing he needed. A man seen by Nigeria's judiciary as sane is always seen as convict abroad.

Imagine Buhari's son going on a suicide mission with the tax payers' money. That bike almost took his life. He ought to have been arrested and prosecuted for doing that. He had no licence to ride a power bike, to say the least.

I learnt awa president pikin go arrange oloshos with 400k usd, in this era where his dad's supporters are dying of hunger which gave birth to the ebinpawon slogan.

SLS committed no punishable offence when Ganduje dethroned him. Instead of his brother to beg on his behalf, he quickly accepted the offer and jumped on the throne, taking after the emilokan crooner. Yeye man. He deserves all the disgrace.

Were you not among those who crucify Sanusi as Cbn governor then, when he spoke about unaccounted funds and wanted Jonathan to deal with him after his removal as governor before kwankwanso hurriedly name him the vacant stool as emir of Kano. Most of you are really hypocrite. You people called him all manners of names then, just because he exposed the reckless looting of Jonathan government. I am very ashamed of you and your likes on this platform. Same you people was supporting wike has governor then with his impunity and when he get favourable judgement thru the Odilli's, you hail him but now he suddenly become a bad man just because he didn't support you people's choice as president. I have never seen animals like you guys.

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless! If I may ask, why this kind of lawlessness or confusion wasn't prevalent when PDP was in power? The level of desperation used to be very low

The case is different now under the watch of apc, everyone who has a link with the authority at the federal level will use the connection to deal mercilessly with the one occupying office at the state level as in the case of Rivers and Kano etc. Why?

APC is a useless party, it lacks leadership skills

Maybe you were a toddler when Obj was president. 5 lawmakers impeached a governor. Senate president from Igbo extraction were removed anyhow.

Justiceganduje:
I have even bought two crutches to help me continue standing gidigba on his mandate. Tinubu is that good.

The man that kill his son because of the last portion of food is from where.

BossGerald:
It's not even about the coming of military whatever...these people are determined to make food basic for their citizens.

We're not asking tinubu government for food, it's very simple. Provide adequate security for farmers to return back to their farmlands.

Nigerians are not lazy, we're hardworking, what we'll eat is never the problem.

Your governor is the chief security officer of your state. He collect billions of allocation on security yearly. Channel that to him.

BossGerald:
Other countries are forging ahead into commercial Agriculture, for exports and FX earnings while Apc government and their agents are telling Nigerians in 2024 to leave the vast farm lands for bandits and herdsmen to start planting pepper and onions in their backyard.

Are we ready to progress in this country??

Don't you have a state governor, they received monthly allocations.

obawinner:
lol, So if APGA, the South Eastern Recognized Regional Party, loses the election,. If it dies off, then on which political ladder would you seek to attain national politics?
You folks think politics is short term thinking

It's no longer a regional party. You people adopted pdp formed by northerners over the years and when they didn't give their ticket to any igbos last year election, was the reason you people went to support labour and obi may soon go back to pdp and you all will follow him blindly. Why can't you all support apga and form coalition with another party to win election.

helinues:
Stay where you are.

You are not needed in Apc

When we dey tell Obidients that Kenneth is not stable, Dem dey think say we no know wetin we dey talk

Him joining labour party was to seek for higher position if they had won but now want to go back to Apc and beg for crumbs. They are not ready to noture any party patiently. If they can abandoned Apga formed by Ojukwu who they sing his praise, that speak volume. Nzogbu nzogbu politics can't take them anywhere, the better they know that. I trust Tinubu, they will set him up with his people by giving him a position that will require to tarnish the image of Obi and others. Since he is desperate. Apga has now be reduced from the regional party to anambra state party. Northerners formed pdp, south west formed AD and Tinubu was envisaging national height but some of the elders just wanted a regional party. Tinubu took some faction and it metaphors to AC later ACN by spreading to some state outside south west and he later formed coalition and now became president. That how to build a party not jumping from party to party.

Biodun556:


He laboured in vain

After the tribal politics he played and throwing insult to the president anyhow. He want to go back to one of the structure of criminality he and his presidential candidate called them. No honour at all, Spit on him. Soludo was right about nzogbu nzogbu politics he referred them as but their people wanted to crucify him.

kokoA:
Kogi has been so unlucky with governor since 1999.

keep your mouth shut. The bills are good ones, if you don't like his predecessor don't mean you should start condemning gov Ododo. Tell us your state, let know.

2elliot:
No nation can develop with backyard subsistence farming practice that you APC goons are trying to push Nigerians into. If that was the case, Buhari would have had increased cattle. Nigerians are not hungry because they are all not going to farm. But they are hungry because the right things have not been don by the government.
Look at that farm in the picture. How many thousands of people it can feed, with machines and few human beings operating on them? But imagine the thousands of Nigerians it would have taken to plant that level of farm land in their various backyards with crude tools like hoe and cutlasses?

Must it be from federal government. Don't you have your state governor to provide mechanized farming. Channel this your talk to your governor cos he has been receiving monthly allocation.your state has ministry of agriculture.we can't be always blaming the FG. In the north some governors are supporting agriculture.

DevilsEqual:
Aisha dey there dey cry when Edo state LP dey burn but that one no concern her

She no follow shout top to bottom but for Lagos that time, she dey push GRV dey shout top to bottom

Hypocrites with misplaced priorities

Who no her in Edo, when we talk of politics. She is from my zone, his home town agbede, Obi lost woefully there. Only in some part of Benin city you hear of labour party those propaganda they use in last year presidential election won't work again. Just like we have last year when they succeeded in taking the natural pdp vote is what they will also do in Edo election. They are now divided and some supporting Asue and Okpebohlo. Many of their leadership in Edo central has gone to Apc.

Odin13:
Power to the people
PDP!!!

The very day Wike will be expel from PDP.. Yoruba people will wail non stop..

This wailing on top Shaibu and orbih Na minor

Only Yoruba Dey support anti democratic principles as e no favor them

When awolowo said all is fair in war.. then you will start understanding the mindset of this people.

After their noise.. make Apc go win Edo for September make we see.

No be Tinubu stealing..

Just as rivers is not lagos.. Edo is not Lagos and can never be Lagos

Make Yoruba and Apc go ondo go try their luck

Funny beings

you are just ranting. Can you place a bet on 20th September which is a day to the election. Pdp and his offering labour has lost already. Those 3 political gladiators will join other notable and un notable former pdp members to buried the dream of Asue Ighodalo. I don't believe in noise, I will remind you that date to the bet.

Biggie225:
Next line of action is to pump in money and some social infrastructures to that grassroot political structure.
State Wards and constituencies are under local government. So as Governor if you appoint your men as chairmen,councillors and ward leaders you will win second tenure with ease . It's very difficult to defeat in incumbent government.
Wike is gone .

I support fubara for using the hard way to remove the chairmen whose tenure ended and they were boasting of still staying in office. I don't think fubara has have the total control of rivers pdp. Let him pray wike group not to pick the national chairmanship position, because if it happen then he won't get the ticket if pdp for re election.

IjawUnited:
Wetin concern Obedient with Dangote.

Which sensible individual irrespective of tribe, region or party won't complain if cost of item jump from N140-N680.

Like anyone who complains of hardship which is visible in every angle in Nigeria is now an Obidient or opposition?

Your work on Nairaland is to create threads titled Obidient day in day out.

Seems this is truly a full time job for you guys
Wow 😳

Why are you diverting from what he said. You people said the refinery can't work and the OP reminded you guys and you are saying nonsense. Hypocrisy is so much in you people. Anything you can't do, if another doing it, you people will start exibiting wizard display.

yyba:
It's okay in Enugu state that is why obi won't react, but demolition is not okay in Lagos state

By now you should know he is an hypocrite.

Maxtipulation:
FG are the ones throwing the negotiation party on him

Lies. Nothing like that. Don't deceive people here, he was boasting the other court day but know want plea bargain.

ShinnBet:
Rest

The project is supposed to pay for itself and that's why it is starting from the Lagos end .

The way the project is designed to generate money is true tolls and sale of land along its corridor.

If Tinubu wanted to decieve you , he won't use a project as this . Why should he then say the project will extend to Calabar if it was to terminate at only Lagos ?

You guys think every politician is a scammer like the plagues you have been cursed with.

Besides, why is the project a headache to you guys ?

SS people are not complaining. Same with the north. So why is it only you people that are flogging a dead horse issue ?

Thier pain is that if the rate at which work has begun and eventually reach a better stage before 2027, it will have a negative impact on the chances of Obi as president. They know South south will appreciate Tinubu with votes. No south south person have condemned the road.

NzogbuNzogbu:
anybody can claim to be son of palace outside and oba wont talk cos technically its correct as bini son

But oba must talk and correct your sacrilege when you call yourself a son of palace in his palace

You are indirectly equating yourself to his family cos na egbe gathering you dey

You said it all. Benin Obidients should not allowed the virus of lack of respect the other non Obidients do to their own in their place. You can claim it anywhere but not inside the palace. If he his a son of the palace, why over the years he didn't attach prince to his names. He wanted to play politics with the throne but was put to were he and his entourage belongs. Things like this are the cause of the two king in Kano emirate now.

Godons1:
We no go still vote Obaseki's godson. We the electorates in Benin will cast our votes for Monday and Akpata. We will make sure that, Obaseki's stooge comes a distant 6th in September's election.

Who knows politics and follows the political terrain in Edo state now, should know that senator Okpeboho is the next governor. All indices are very clear. In Edo central is zone, he is dominating with many decampes from pdp and Edo north will vote massively for him, because after power shift from central, he goes to the north. Oshiomoles factor has been giving huge vote and now with Shaibu and Dan orbih, the votes will be much higher. The deputy governorship candidate of Apc Idahosa with hon Iyama ogbiede, Senator Urhoghide, pastor Ize iyamu, former deputy governors Imasuen and odubu and host of others will deliver substantive votes from Edo south too.

Esama:
I'm not obident and I will never part of their movement and I'm unapologetic about that.

However the oba of Benin remark about olumide akpata is an embarrassment to his personality and such statements supposed to condemn by all.

This is a critical
Moment for the political parties seeking for office and what all of them need is blessing from oba not their mistake that opposition can easily capitalize on. Of course we know olumide is not a prince from Benin palace .

He don't even stand any chance of winning. He will only get votes in his senatorial district and that will help to reduce pdp dominance. Obidients are confused over there. Some are for him and others against him. Edo central and Edo north is totally out of him. Nobody will vote a Benin man again, after another one is leaving in this two other zones. Na third position he will carry.

madridguy:
Tinubu policy don cripple majority of us. Purchasing power don go. Ordinary bathing soap price now is enough to cook food shop under Sai Baba.

If it happens in another zone, you will not write like this. Hypocrite

Eriokanmi:
Our next VP has spoken. Shhh! Don't tell anyone. Rejoice Nigeria, real change is coming.

We know why they're dragging Elrufai someone who moved kaduna to the pedestal of the most viable northern state and one of the best states in Nigeria economically. Obasanjo's appointees are those holding sway in the Nigerian politics today.

Did you praise him before. You all call him bad names then. Hypocrites.

vanbonattel:
Clark is now Obidient

Same things we have been saying and they are calling us Obidients. When you say the truth in Nigeria, you are an Obidient.

There is something inside the psyche of every SS or SE individuals that strongly resists Godfatherism, I think its born out of their desire to stop people from enslaving fellow humans.

Well done Clark, everyone will become Obidients for Nigeria to progress.

His he not a godfather. He also benefitted in the past if not even still getting from politicians. How did he get money by building a university. He started it when Jonathan was president.

yyba:
Obidients are the ones bringing hate to peter OBI with all this lack of respect to others opinion and choice

To be sincere, most igbos so much infiltrate the non igbo Obidients with hatred and insult, they are know for. They lack manners and they don't respect their elders. Maybe because most kingship are always been bought in their zone, so they think others are like them. Hope Edo Obidients, expecially the Benin ones are seeing about the insult to the imperial royal revered majesty by their colleagues. They hate the truth, when it doesn't favour them. Obas of Benin kingdom are know for not taking side and frank to all and politics is among also. We non Benin from Edo state always hold them in high esteem and always regard them in the throne has the overall king, even when we have our own kings and the kings also understand that too. Any Oba of Benin in the throne is always the chairman of the state traditional council and the vice is rotated among other major kings in the state like otaru of auchi, the king of Uromi and others.

Bobloco:
But Atiku was the first to describe the project as a highway of fraud

I haven't seen you call out Atiku

The reason people didn't criticize Atiku is that is not from southerner Nigeria and he don't want it to be possible. Obi also criticizing it is politics because he knows the benefit. His a southerner he shouldn't have dangle into it. He knows if the road get to appreciable level before 2027 election, Tinubu will be loved by south south and he knows that. When some politicians and other leaders in southerner Nigeria condemned Buhari for connecting road and railway to Niger republic, Atiku the main opposition didn't criticize Buhari because he his a northerner, likewise others in the north.

Ever8090:
it will be abandoned that is what I want you to understand, no be Nigerian leaders again?..we know them too well to jubilate over whatever they are doing that seems promising to give Nigerians joy.at the end they will embezzle he money and use it to send their family abroad to enjoy in a place where such facility exists in reality...I wish corrupt Nigerian politicians death and their relatives....!!!!!

It will not, because Tinubu knows it will generate a lot of revenue to FG and also Lagos state mainly but will spring alot of opportunities to other states too. They will get revenue too. It's a signature project just like the way Buhari constructed second naija bridge against disbelief.

princepee:
The man buhari anointed to take over from him.
But jagaban use money scatter everywhere for convention.

I believe he would have been a better president than what we have now.

Oil no dey flow for him hand again, so nobody send him.

Naso life be.

Be joking, 8yrs speaker, 8yrs governor and 8yrs minister. You think he can't afford routine of security personnel. He spent straight 24yrs in power.

AllahOfterror:


Na so life be

Even at that, I still love Rotimi Ameachi than that idiotic tyrant of a FCT minister who claim every soul and properties belong to him.

Make thunder fire him

Emergency love, you people call him unprintable names then and supported every actions of Wike whether good or bad. Now Wike is now hated just because of last year election. Hypocrite everywhere.

DevilsEqual:
Cook Obi

Why is Aisha silent tho
She was more active during that GRV case in Lagos

So why not put same effort when its your homsetate

she has no political influence, she is from Edo north were oshiomole, shaibu and Orbih also from. Even if Obi come down, he can't influence anything. Pdp and labour will loose all the six local government. After Edo central power come to our zone, so labour has no stake at all and with the support of legacy faction of pdp, Apc will get almost all the vote. Na oredo and some part of ikpoba okha and egor, labour they make noise been that there are non indigene residing in Benin city. Labour will definitely help in reducing pdp vote there and Apc gain from it and will win in the remaining four local government in Edo south. Obaseki knows that now, that is why his so desperate. Senator Okpeboho has more support in his central zone than Asue Ighodalo.
