September 10, 2016, is epochal in the history of the great Edo State. It is a date when life beckons on the people to embark on a game-changing and life-amending venture; a time when the people are called out by the Benevolent, the God of second chance, to right the wrong they elevated to a position of authority and immense responsibility eight years ago.
That day is the day when Edo people will finally extricate themselves from the shackles of a searing chain fresh from the hissing fires of a renowned blacksmith and etched in the back of the people with a heart that chooses to be deliberately unmindful of the people’s sufferings.
That APC, by the virtue of their worsening abysmal performances everywhere they go, both at the federal and state levels, has since grown into that monstrous party not fitting to replace itself in any election in the name of continuity, is no longer news. What is news is that they still have the temerity to present themselves for election after all they have done to Nigeria just within one year! Nobody, not even the good people of Edo State would want a continuity of suffering, of human degradation, infrastructural decay, ethnic discrimination and general underdevelopment.
These are some of the ‘natural’ traits of the All Progressives Congress which are well known not only to Nigerians but also to the whole world. In other climes, where service to the people is a priority and the elevation of their standard of living is government’s main focus, the party would not be going about insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians by wildly gyrating with so much brazenness as we saw the president’s delegation do in APC’s grand rally in Edo recently.
It is only a government without shame for its widely acknowledged failures and a party without human sympathy for the mega-sufferings it has visited on the people that would embark on such a banal celebration of the destruction of a people and their nation without restraint in so short a time.
Since APC took charge of governance, the people can barely live and hardly survive. The hunger in the land is real and the frustration palpable. Nigeria, right under the nose of President Buhari and his gyrators, has slid into its worst recession in history. Millions have lost their jobs as companies after companies, both local and international, keep closing shops due to the economic hardship. Yet, the price of foodstuff keeps rising while the naira has been adjudged the worst performing currency in the whole wide world after Suriname and Venezuela. What a story!
This is after all the grandiose promises of turning the moon into sunlight for Nigerians and creating a state of Eldorado and Utopia for them. However, the Nigerian state has since become the legendary Hobbesian State where life is not only nasty and short but also brutish under the watch of APC. With the free rein of death in the hands of terrorist Fulani herdsmen all over the country, the extra-judicial murders and endless incarceration of citizens even against court orders by state agents, the descent of Nigeria into the Hobbesian state of anomie is confirmed.
A nation that, just over a year ago, used to be the pride of Africa and the bride of investors competitively courted by the discerning international business community has suddenly become a sorry state of its recent past glory.
Rather than deliver on its campaign promises, the All Progressives Congress has spent its entire life in government delivering excuses to the people to the extent that even the party’s core supporters and followers have since abandoned it to its lonely fate.
Now to get the votes of Edo people, the APC train has revived its old machinery of mendacity, revved its engine of casuistry and embarked on its familiar campaign of sophistry wrapped in oratorical sophistication. Like they did at the federal level, they are promising the people heaven on earth. A party that cannot achieve any of its myriad of promises, not even one, at the federal level despite the vast and enormous resources at its disposal cannot achieve anything in a state known for its peace, industry and rich culture.
The people of Edo must not fall for the antics of the antiques, beautiful outside but full of deceit inside. With the benefit of hindsight, Nigerians have come to conclude, and rightly so, that they made a huge mistake by handing something as weighty as their destiny to Buhari and his battery of APC disciples. The regret is loud and resounding, from Abuja to Katsina, from Imo to Ondo, from Plateau to Enugu, from Kano to Osun, the story is the same.
The days of ignorance will be forgiven, but will Edo people make the same mistake Nigeria made on March 28, 2015, the day they purportedly voted APC into power out of ignorance? Doing so now that the party’s gross incompetence and deceit are well documented would amount to committing an error of unpardonable consequences.
It is the utmost desire of Nigerians to take their destiny back in their own hands, retrace their steps and start correcting the mistake that APC has been. There is no other divinely set opportunity for such rectification other than the Edo governorship election. Whether Nigerians have learnt their lessons or not will be determined by the people of Edo on Saturday.
A “change” that has brought nothing but chains to the people deserves to be changed urgently. Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is the one on whose shoulders Providence has placed the unenviable but noble task of rescuing the good people of Edo. With his SIMPLE agenda, and the huge support he has enjoyed among all Edolites and Nigerians, he is obviously the people’s saving choice

I know Mr Arase personaly, ls a good man, this a mere witch hunt, i suspected dem (APC) wen dey left him as inheritance froh GEJ. Idris do u wrk and leave d good man alone. He has more dan enuf. Cars is nt his problem

I love you more than words could ever say,
I feel it growing in my heart each and every day,
All this love I feel
Has never felt so real
You give me something no one has ever given me,
It's something you cannot see
Love so strong, and so true
It makes me think of only you
This wonderful feeling you have given me
Makes me want to be with you endlessly.

I want to be in your arms
To feel your warm embrace
It makes me feel so safe from harm
Plus, I love to touch your face
I love to look into your eyes
To look through your disguise
To feel your warm hands within mine
As our fingers gently become entwined.

Your kisses so soft and sweet It makes me crave a thousand more
I wonder how your heart keeps a steady beat,
Because mine just soars.
I love the way you let me know
How much you love me so
I love how much you care
The love you show to me is beyond compare,
I love the way you smile
That compliments your sexy style
My eyes are kept on you all the while.

I love to hear you say "okay"
You say it at least once a day
I love the way you apologize
Because it always makes me realize
That what you did, was done unintentionally,
And that you still love me
Even though I'm strange
You don't want me to change
You say that I'm just right
Especially when we're about to fight.

I hate to see you mad
I hate to see you sad
It makes me feel so bad
What you feel, I feel
That's because our love is real
I hate to see you cry
To always have to wonder why?
I'm sorry I sometimes do the things I do
That always make you feel blue
I'm sorry if I hurt you so
My anger is sometimes hard to control.

I don't like when you feel insecure
Don't worry so much, because I'm sure
That no one can ever take your place
Because I love not only your beautiful face,
I also love the real you inside
There's no way I could have let you pass me by.

Don't worry you're the only one for me
You, and I, and everyone else can see
I love you with all my heart
No one could ever make us part.

Am a medical student presently, my brother d real answer to your questions and not to be decieved is.. As a medical doctor u can be comfortable , bt u are nt assured of been rich , medicine is nt studied for money bt passion to care for people , as u can even treat patient with no cash, if u wanna be a gud doctor, d relief of ur patient is d first priority and dere relief and happiness will bring joy to you dats d satisfactin. Bt if u are after money sir, u may nt make it far as d stress in the job is greater than d pay.

How can you ache and crave for someone's touch
When you have never felt it?
I do this for yours, though,
And the yearning grows more each day

I have never wanted anything in my life
As much as I want you
When you whisper such sweet love
In my ear when we talk

You make me melt into a puddle
Of complete helplessness
You have become my every waking thought
And my every dream at night

I breathe in so hard
Trying to catch my breath when we can't talk
I close my eyes so tight
Hoping when I open them you will be there

But I know I have to wait
Until the time is right
It seems so far away
That I think I am losing my mind

I want to breathe in your scent
And keep it with me all day long
I want to taste your love for me
By kissing your sweet lips

I want to feel your body next to me
So when you leave for awhile I can hold on
I just want you to know
That I really do love you

When the day comes and we are together
You will always know and feel this
I will always hug, kiss and love you
Every moment of the day and night

...You will never have another touch unfelt

Yesterday, monday morning around 4am was a day neva to be forgotten so fast in d memories of some student of the ambrose alli university college of medicine has some masked gunmen attacked students. One of them told the student dey in search of a student who was not present in class as at that time. They were told ti switch of there phone and bow there heads bt until dey heard a gunshot , on hearing this shot. Student fled and ran for dere life to nearby hostels Some student injured , while others lost dere phones.
Students life and properties are no longer safe both in the college and the college environ, as thieves snatches important valuables, phones and laptops everynight as from 7:30pm . Some girls are even raped , this an everyday occurence.
We need the intervention on the police force as we are like students with no security and been abused every night and den. Pls all relevant authorities should see into this.

As I lie in my bed
My thoughts turn to you.
I think of the time
We spent together
And how our love grew.

I miss your voice
As it speaks my name.
I miss your eyes
And how they burn
With a passionate flame.

I want to feel your breath
On my naked skin.
And the touch of your hand
so tender -
Which ignite the fires within.

My mouth deeply hungers
For the sweetness of your lips.
My body craves your touch
As you explore me
With your fingertips.

I want to feel the heat
As the passion quickly builds.
Your caresses and your kisses
Make it easy
For my body and soul to yield.

I want to feel the pleasure
As we feed our lusts and desires.
Your flesh and mine
Becoming one
Burning hot with passion's fire.

Only you can satisfy
And bring me to ecstasy.
Only you can fulfill
My deepest desire
And my midnight fantasy.

Your beauty extends into the heavens,
it goes on forever and never lessens.
Even when the clouds heighten
you are here and the world brightens.
You are like a fruit that constantly ripens
your beauty continues to grow no mater what happens.

My fondness for you constantly deepens
because every time I see you my heart starts to weaken.
You make everything else appear hollow
where ever you are loveliness is sure to follow.
You shine so bright you cast your own shadow
a beauty that others would love to borrow.
But try as they might your beauty they will never catch
because something like you they could never match.

Your beauty seems to increase with every breathe
it tests the limits my imagination can stretch.
It makes me question if what I am seeing is real
I only know it is true by the way that I feel.
Your beauty is so vast it can't be concealed
there is no hiding it your beauty is always revealed.

The power of your beauty is the world's greatest gift
the heaviest boulder it could easily lift.
A girl this perfect I never knew
all that changed the moment I met you.
Heaven on Earth I was not aware
until I met a girl that was crafted with such care.
You would be the answer to a prayer
if someone asked for something rare with beauty to spare.

If I had a choice I would choose this girl over air
for air can't compare to a girl not found elsewhere.

Jst let her be, except you dnt want anyodatin dan jst sleepin with her.
