....the Vice President of Nigeria ...... Still a case of corruption and PDP being like husband and wife

AnodaIT:
Truly this man was sent to cause trouble in PDP

Who sent him? It is certainly the selfish southern PDP governors that rallied round him and pushed him all the way to become the PDP national chairman, with promises of Vice Presidential slot and a 40 billion naira lifeline to fund PDP?

Infact doctors own problem too much. ASUU don cool down small, oil workers don cool down too, but doctors, dem no wan hear, no human sympathy at all.

prigoz:
It's only in Nigeria that this type of rubbish happens. If not employment problem in the country, I wonder what one will be doing with police recruitment

So in your part of the world, police employment is nothing, you mean?

I think it is high time President Buhari made substantive DGs and Executive Secredaries into some vital and sensitive parastatals, such as NAFDAC, DPR, SON. These agencies are vital the protection of the nigerian consumers and absence of substantive heads will make their jobs ineffective.

She dry pretend abeg. Another dude go dey somewhere scratching her 'tin' on behalf of FFK.

EDIT

I see that links were provided to you earlier yet you still insist that the Igbinedions were never convicted and even go as far as calling people liars. Its not hard to understand why people keep failing waec and cannot attain the 200 jamb cut-off mark.

Please, tell him

One thing we cannot take away from Governor Adams Oshiomole is the fact that under him as Governor, Edo State which was hitherto always backward and found itself among the worst states in terms of developmental index in Nigeria, is always placed and positioned in the first 7 (in revenue generation 7th, smartest state 3rd, educational development - 3rd, some of the best roads in the country, health - 6th, not owing civil servants, etc) in any developmental indices among the 37 states(including F.C.T) of Nigeria, yet some wailers will keep wailing that the Governor has done nothing.

iamSi:
brushing for more than 3 mins ... wont that affect my gum?

If you ask me, who I go ask?

License to operate

I was in a heated argument with a friend of mine this morning over a small matter, as the time frame for one to brush the mouth and for bathing. It happened that I went to brush this morning and I came out of the bathroom after about 3 minutes, but my friend (a guest of mine) just hissed and said that if I cannot brush my mouth upward to at least 5 minutes and bathe at least upward of 20 minutes, that I should not call that brushing or bathing as the case may be. As he kept on teasing me, my wife took sides with him in the same argument, but I told them that 2 to 3 minutes is enough for me to scrub/brush my mouth and that I don't even need to bathe in a period exceeding 10 minutes, including toileting where applicable. I told my friend that brushing mouth in period upto 5 minutes is not only time wasting, but awkward and bathing more than 7-10 minutes is also a waste of time. This is particularly so, because I know I have a clean and odourless mouth and body. I brush well within 2-3 minutes and bathe within 5 to 10 minutes with satisfaction of cleanliness and I have never had any cause to complain,
after all, I am not a nursing mother who should take a whole lot of "sleeping" in the bathroom in the name of brushing and bathing. I believe the time frame to do both is personal and relative depending on the circumstance.

My question now is, how long do you do your mouth brushing and bathing, particularly in the morning? As for me, 2 to 3 minutes is enough to brush and 5 to 10 minutes is enough for me to have a satisfactory bath, including toilet.

You did your research and yet don't know the name of the 'a certain Lucky younger brother'. And when has an issue with Benin Traditional Council on 'nefarious and clandestine activities', become a conviction in a law court for corruption? My friend spreading rumour is a sin before God. Leave the Igbinedions out of this. The Edos want a change.

Lucky' s two younger brothers were convicted for fraud and money laundry. Read it here: Court convicts Igbinedions:

Martins301:
Compare this epileptic resume to Obaseki's own. Edo needs Growth & Development and a lot of foreign investment and only a man like Obaseki can make that happen. Iyamu should continue his Pastoring work and leave governance for those who have what it takes.

PDP is Dead in Edo

APC PROGRESS

Gbam!

Elose11:
And what does that tell you of Oshomhole's character? A fair weather friend! A good friend sticks with you in good and bad time. Talking of the conviction of the Igbinedions, only Lucky was convicted. That is in 2009. Ize Iyamu was Oshomhole's campaign DG in 2012. So when did Oshomhole turned his back on the Igbinedions? 2009 or 2012? Stop saying what you don't know my friend.

Go and do your research properly, a certain Lucky ' s younger brother was convicted. In fact, there was a time that even their father, Igbins himself had it tough with the Benin Traditional Council because of his nefarious and clandestine activities against the interest of Benin. Pls go to Benin and ask of the Igbins.

Elose11:
It was the same Igbinedion that brought Oshomhole to power. When you people are pointing finger at others, four are pointed at you. It was this Ize Iyamu the Igbinedion used to bring Oshomhole to power. It was ok then. But an anomaly now. Bunch of hypocrite! The Edos can no more be deceived by inordinate propaganda! Let the Igbinedions give us Ize Iyamu.

When they helped in bringing Oshiomole to power, the Igbinedions were not yet convicted, but when they were, Oshiomole left the 'friendship'

Jirate:
And who is sponsoring Godwin Obaseki?......... You abi?.

Certainly not an ex-convict

After serving as Secretary to the State Government and a major influential personality in the Lucky Igbinedion administration, which was notorious for corruption, wastage and non performance ,Pastor Ize Iyamu's quest for the position of Edo state Governor, is again this time, allegedly being sponsored and funded by the Igbinedion family, in their attempt to come back to power and further return Edo state to the era of the locusts, corruption, wastage and impunity of the Igbinedions and his collaborators in crime. We must say no to them. Edo state cannot afford to slip off and skip the good years again. Reject Ize Iyamu, reject the Igbinedions

Pastor to Ize Iyamu is being sponsored and funded by the Igbinedons. Say no to the Igbinedons, by saying no Pastor Ize Iyamu.

Welcome back sir. Pls act swiftly and quickly. Nigerians are suffering.

When will the E.F.C.C dispense with these cases?

TonyeBarcanista:
The so called Primary was only an academic exercise, and a futile exercise too. Pastor Ize Iyamu of PDP is the most loved and the anointed Governor after Oshiomole

So that he will create another wast and lackluster performance in EDO state like his right hand, Lucky? EDO people have not forgotten in a hurry that Ize Iyamu, as the SSG in Lucky Igbinedon administration, was the driving force behind that corrupt, inept and wasteful government

UNAPAPA101:

You well so?

RELEASEUS:
You seem to like quarrel...as a minister he must have told his boss the president that he will want to take up the completion of the university for the benefit of his state...do you know that there is no single federal institution in the whole of delta state? Please let him be...most of you are happy we from the ss have issues and are praying for NA to come and wipe us out...una prayer no go work...thunder fire...no make I never curse person

I am from Niger Delta and I am not against any good coming to any part of it, but am against a situation where our sons and daughters in government cannot champion a single issue in one accord. My position in a nutshell is that, there is a better way Kachikwu can go about this instead of portraying himself a better Niger Deltan and painting Amaechi in black.

Almightyperes:
buhari gave him free hands to do anything that will stop the vandalism of the oil and gas installations

Okay, if that's the position
