No be only 'Hundreds', na millions. He should be impeached, if not, he'd set a nasty precedent of gross misconduct by office holders with no accountability. As e red now e don go mobilize some of him village pipu. No be only protest. He should go and beg the governor and apologise to Edo people for disregarding their wise counsel. |

Ologbo147: From the website of that screenshot you posted earlier to show the meaning of 'Iyamu', check for Bazuaye and its meaning. Also check if you'd find Obazuye and Obazuaye. |

Ologbo147: Obasuyi is a totally different name and means 'King is worthy of praises and respect'. Bazuaye is a prominent name eg Hon Justice Irene Bazuaye. Some clans or families use Obazuye which has same meaning. |

Ologbo147: Bazuaye is a prominent name in Benin and can be interchanged with Obazuye (Some may pronounce Obazuyi). Meaning - The King had chosen the Earth |

Politics / Re: Umahi Threatens To Revoke Benin-Sapele-Ologbo Road Contract Over Shoddy Job by NaMe4: 7:05am On Mar 10 |
These were exactly my thoughts when I saw the ongoing 'construction' over a week ago. I have never seen major roads constructed so shoddily in any other part of this Country, except in these areas. Many of these companies struggle to build standard State roads, not to talk of Federal Highways. I would advise the Minister to invest in thoroughly investigating these companies considered for such contracts. Get local opinion also. Some State governments, especially in the North do not compromise; for major projects, they contract reputable companies - Julius Berger, CCECC, Setraco/Hartland. Many of these contractors na 'jibiti' who often get away with poor jobs at the State level, and with their usual 'unintelligence' think they can lobby and replicate such in Federal contracts. I believe we have laws to protect Nigeria and Nigerians from such contractors. 5 Likes |

Namaster: That could even be described as cruel. Even though they wouldn't dare prevent your file from reaching the doctor, such jocular request is still 'extortion'. The future of Nigeria largely lies in the reorientation of most of the people. If no systematic way to achieve such is developed, it may take at least half a century even with good leadership to achieve such. jesmond3945: But your 'common enemy' emerges from the set of people who institutionalise stealing and bribery as a way of life or survival. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Did Olumide Akpata Insult Edo People ? Why The Hate?? by NaMe4: 10:09am On Mar 04 |
Slytiger: Alba3: And Prof Ambrose Folorunso Alli was Esan (Edo Central). Olumide is from Benin, Edo South, not even Akoko Edo as some people may erroneously assume. Edos have such names from all parts of the State. It's those without knowledge of Edo who are making noise online. saddler: One of the strongest contestants in LP is Hon. Sergius Ogun who is Esan (Edo Central). I guess if he was the candidate, you would have told him to return to Ogun or Ondo. Hon John Yakubu who stepped down and endorsed Asue is Esan. Olumide Akpata is a bona fide Bini man. When it's the turn of Edo South and he gets the governorship candidature under any political platform, he would get widespread support provided he remains credible. The major groups in Edo are the Afemai, Esan and Bini and have the same origin. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Did Olumide Akpata Insult Edo People ? Why The Hate?? by NaMe4: 4:33am On Mar 04 |
ednut1: It has nothing to do with his name. A lot of Edos answer such names. We've had past governors with such names from different parts of the State. When it's the turn of Edo South, and he aspires, you'd see the support. Besides, in terms of qualifications/competence candidates such as Asuen Ighodalo are very strong contenders. Even if LP zoned it to Edo Central and presented a candidate with a similar name, the emphasis would be on antecedence, competence and qualifications. 1 Like 1 Share |
Politics / Re: Twitter War : Igbo Obidients Take A Stand As Edo Obidients Protests On Twitter by NaMe4: 3:53am On Mar 04 |
Goodvibes007: In Edo, Rotation between the senatorial zones for Governorship, and even between LGAs for Legislative roles has always been practised for fairness and equity. That's why naturally, Edolites would look forward to candidates from the expected senatorial zone, except occasionally there may be a consensus by the zone or area to cede it to another in order to support a preferred candidate. This is a major reason for the voting pattern seen in the last presidential election. Even though the LP candidate was from a different geopolitical zone, he still enjoyed significant support from Edo. I am yet to see any Edolite who has insulted or disparaged our brother Olumide Akpata. Apart from having relatively stronger candidates in the PDP and APC, it's a general consensus our rotational pattern is adhered to. This is another illustration why the argument of 'competence' over 'rotation for equity' is flawed. ALL zones have competent people, Equity is paramount! Yusuf, for instance, despite being an obidient, knows it's the turn of Edo Central and very credible candidates have been presented from the zone. He has pledged to support one candidate from the zone based on these principles, not necessarily because he is Esan. No one is playing tribal politics in Edo. What you see on social media is an attempt to infuse the external obidient/Agbadorian mumu fight into Edo politics which would gain no attention from anyone here. |

Tonytonex: The North are the most likely to agree. You'd be surprised those likely to resist it are the politically myopic South especially the West and East who live to sabotage one another. If the North never considered such principle, another Northerner would have been president today. |

Justiceleague1: Assuming the North were insanely illogical as you assume, Tinubu for no smell presidency. Even Ahmed Lawan would have taken over from Buhari, not to talk of Atiku (Because retaining power in the North would have mattered most irrespective of competence). Thankfully, we had Northern leaders who insisted it should move to the South. The Pros of zoning would far outweigh the cons. When a zone knows it potentially has 40 years to produce candidates, the wheat will definitely be separated from the chaff. And even after emergence, the enormous expectations in terms of performance would provide no room for mediocrity, as non-performers would been thrown out to shorten the waiting time for other zones. 1 Like 1 Share |

The bill is a fair one. Many Countries operate under such laws and principles and are very peaceful and prosperous. The problem we have in Nigeria today is a growing culture of GREED. Even in individual lives and communities. Thankfully, there are some States who have operated under such principle at the State level and LGA level, but this is increasingly threatened by certain greedy politicians who even benefited from such setting in the first place. In Nigeria, there are 6 geopolitical zones; each zone has at least five States. In consideration of Presidential election, it is illogical and disingenuous to state or assume no qualified or suitable candidate exists in the whole region or zone to lead the Country. In addition to the fact that a president, no matter how qualified cannot lead the Country in isolation as the Legislative and Judicial arms of government would provide checks and balances, constitutional provisions would guide even the composition of the executives. So how would a region after waiting through the turns of 5 others, eventually present a set of unsuitable candidates? I can assure you, if such law was in place prior to 2015 and the NW had its turn, Buhari would most likely not have emerged. With such arrangement, we would have a more functional Legislative and Judiciary as only the most suitable would be elected to represent the people from various constituencies around the Country and there would be effective checks and balances between the arms of government. Such arrangement would eliminate ethnic politics and sentiments. We can see what happened in the last general elections. Once it is the turn of a zone, the best aspirants and candidates from any part of the zone would throw their hats in and it would be left for the electorates to decide. Imagine the last elections was contested between the likes of BAT, Osinbajo, Akinwunmi Adesina etc. At the end of the process, there would be no lingering sentiments as we see today and everyone would focus on nation building. What we have today is a padi-padi setup as only those who have secured places in power aim to rotate all arms of government amongst themselves indefinitely. This bill is a good one and has far-reaching effects, even in the direction of restructuring. |

oluztx: I am Edo and what you wrote are just imaginations and wishful thinking of the likes of Nnamdi Kanu and Ekpa, feeding some of their gullible followers. Edos are a distinct people and the fact remains there has always been a close relationship with the 'Yorubas' (who are also made up of distinct groups/tribes). The only argument amongst a few who have the time for such would be centered around which of the groups were the original progenitors. I personally see that as a total waste of time as it provides no exclusive benefit or makes anyone lesser than the other. So because someone like Oshiomhole doesn't 'look like Igbo' (whatever that means), you assumed he was not Afemai, but Bini. |

oluztx: Show me someone who does not know Edo talking about the Edos. Who fed you with this fiction that there are different types of Edos? The Ikas in Edo are part of Edo South - Binis; (where you call Yoruba part). All the names you mentioned come from Edo Central and North. And you'll find even more people with such names from these areas. (Note, Blessing Okagbere is Urhobo). And absolutely NO, there are no different types of Edos, they all are the same people. Igodomigodo has been an ancient name for the whole of Edo, and has nothing to do with Igbo blood. There was never any invasion and conquer of the Igodomigodos in order to instill the traditions and leadership system which exist up till today. Historically, there was notable influence from the Nupes on Edo North and Central. Ensure you have facts before commenting on public fora. Thankfully, we'll be having the Edo Museum where you can learn facts and not rely on fables. 12 Likes 1 Share |
