₦airaland Forum

theoctopus: You are back to your old ways again. That is why I said your question was silly. Is whether they forgive him or not the issue? What has that got to do with the iddiot governor doing the right thing? What is worse than the iddiots action is the meaningless spin some of you are making out of it. Tell your evil governor to go and do the right thing.

DonColz1: you are just assuming, are you trying to say that the security forces can never go on strike What of if jonathan refuses to pay the security forces (army, navy and airforce) for one month, don't you think that they would go on strike

theoctopus: The only reason I am responding to you is because I know we have engaged decently in the past, otherwise I find your questions silly, no offense.

If NL do not forgive him? He should just do the right thing, datz all! People will form their opinions. Those who will forgive, will forgive him. Those who will not, will not. When you mess up as a public officer, you live with the consequences. You dont go asking if they dont forgive you, what next? What kind of question is that? If you dont want any consequences, then you dont mess up in the first place. There are people who will never forgive him even if he buys a private jet for that woman. But the most important thing is for him to do the needful.

That purported crap apology up there is an insult to everyones intelligence

Obiagelli: God bless you naptu2, imagine enugu state selling coal or electricity to disco from state owned power plant, several manufacturing plants sited in the state and the state even exports its own coal. Till any of these happens hold the FG responsible.

theoctopus: You kidding me? They were not the ones wronged? every citizen of Edo state was wronged. Every Nigerian was wrong! I told you to try and come down from your high horse sometimes and truly feel the people. Some of you are detached from reality. Whether someone say 220k or 500k is inconsequential. If the governor has enough sense, he should know what to do that will assuage peoples feelings at least to some extent. I heard the Edo PDP has already raised some funds for the woman. Can you blame them. I would do the same if I was in their shoes. Oshiomole is messing up big time

theoctopus: So why ask a silly question like you are mocking people for the genuine anger they feel. Most people have said already, he should go apologize to the woman. So why ask them such a silly question? You trivialize the issue like it is nothing so you get what you get

theoctopus: This is the problem with you APC supporters (I know you will deny you are one). You think being legalistic is more important than serving people. You talk academic jargon because you think you are ruling over firewood! That will be your party's undoing. You think it is more important to sit on your high horse and lecture everyone about how you have this bloody dream of an utopian society that will be built on egg shells and where people will be riding electronic bicycles in the skies.

You have no sense off compassion for the people you rule. You talk down on them like they are your slaves. That was what has brought this on Oshiomole. This isnt new. He has been doing this for a long time. He only just got caught on tape now. That is how God works. One day for the owner.

paulchucks: When Gordon brown called a woman a gay which was captured by bbc and televised he went personally to the woman's house and apologize i don't know what is wrong with our Nigeria politicians so oshomole your apology rejected even if is 200k give the poor widow to start life afresh before she commits suicide

naptu2: Gordon Brown described the woman as a "bigoted woman" (he didn't know that his mic was on).

Her reaction

Brown apologised later that day

And then went over to her house to apologise in person.

There is no excuse for showing disrespect to the citizens you serve.

theoctopus: The correlation between the two is that the two public officers erred! The public will treat them the way the public feels they deserve to be treated. And in the eyes of the public, Oshiomole's sins are far worse than Bode George sins. You cannot use your mandate to oppress the downtrodden in society. That is sacrilegious. It is bad enough when you do evil through corruption, but when you start attacking widows on the streets, you have crossed the line

paulchucks: When Gordon brown called a woman a gay which was captured by bbc and televised he went personally to the woman's house and apologize i don't know what is wrong with our Nigeria politicians so oshomole your apology rejected even if is 200k give the poor widow to start life afresh before she commits suicide

theoctopus: Bro, I am disappointed in this your question! If Bode George had apologized then, would you have proposed that he be forgiven and allowed to go free? You try sometimes to be neutral on this forum but obviously you are not

Collins Colz: ok i did not know about that, but what will happen if the army, airforce and navy decides to go on strike for 2 days?

Obiagelli: hi sweetlemon, it's been a while, I honestly didn't want to comment on this topic,
Fact 1: it's absolutely wrong for the Governor to make such comments, he forgot the life of every residents in this state is his priority.

FACT 2: nigerians like to play holy and point fingers, we come across Widows like this or even worse daily and we simply ignore.

FACT 3: if the woman was trading by the road she should be in court by NOW facing charges of endangering her life, her children and other commuters.

okeyxyz: OP please stop with this your lies and emotional blackmail. You obviously speaking out of some figments of your imaginations or your malice. I'd watched this video over and over and no where did Oshiomole say to the woman "Go and die!!!"

Oshiomole's words sound more like: "When your husband die, you want to kill people on the road..." The issue seems to be that she put her goods on the road rather than off the road(pedestrian path)

What you are doing is nothing but slandering.
