Pinicop:
TUC is compromised.

Why the 'corruption-smelling' TUC won't call on security agencies to provide adequate security during and after the two-day protest?

if TUC is compromised you can always make yourself available on that day, after all it's your right.

patrickcollins:
Don't preach false hope we have heard this for decades, The situation will get worser

your grammar says who you are. Go and improve yourself and find something doing, no government will do it for you, help yourself by yourself.

vonnelixir:
NLC should not back down....if they are serious, the protest will be nationwide and that's the government's fear... Especially when media houses like CNN carries it

what will be the the benefits of the protests at the end of the day? Will all the prices of goods come down? Or will money automatically entered into the pockets of every Nigerians? I only pity those who live on daily pay, their means of livelihood would be distorted in those two days, thereby increasing their own hardships the more. civil servants and some other workers are always happy whenever there is such strike because for them it's time to rest more at home.

Mumu Gowon rejoicing that Britain fought his war for him

and your grandfather was hiding under the bed while Gowon was dealing with the saboteurs.

Sam Amadi, pack well, civil war has come and gone, we move on. Nothing wrong in Gowon referring to his experiencing in his time as head of state.

These kidnappers are people's fathers, brothers, if see something say something, that is the way to go

POI has money,a lot of political associates,influence,structure.he easily united other stakeholders and aspirants behind sen okpebholo meanwhile oshio could not do same for denco

funny you, let oshomole Step aside from supporting Opebholo and let us see how many votes POI can give APC, Comedian

pinacole1:
Apc had made a right choice. Monday is a grassroot politician. Loved by his people. The only senator frm another political to win election in esan land. That is a miracle. If u knw edo very well u will knw that esan was pdp and pdp is esan but this man has cone to change the narrative.

Yes, that was a great feat for him, but don't forget, he and Okogie were just fortunate because of the ill fighting in PDP which really factionalised the party of which Dan Orbih faction work for APC against their party. But it is what it is, if there is no mistake there won't be own goal.

senatordave1:


Oga,politics is not just winning or popularity alone.you can be popular but not win elections if you don't have the right connections.in politics,we have the popular politicians,the connected ones,the rich ones with structures.pastor is more like anenih..
Iyamu lost his lga because he was swimming against the tide in 2020 plus the damage oshio did to him in 2016.dont forget he won in 2016 but was rigged out.pastor has connection all over Edo,SS and Abuja while denco influence ends in parts of Edo south mainly in ovia.cabt you see how he struggles to win miss igbinedion? Even hon ihama is more popular.

now I know you are a political neophyte. Let me stop wasting my time for a political toddler.

senatordave1:


Oga,no other politician in Edo is as influential as POI.anenih was only accepted in esan,he was never grassrooted,more of an Abuja politician

tell me the election he ever won. How do you rate a politician if not his political successes. The only time he contested as a governorship candidate oshomole single handedly handed him the ticket as against the wishes of the majority APC family. Apart from Edo North where APC had a resounding success courtesy of oshomole what did POI brought to the table?

Redhot111:


Even at age 200 Osho will still not be an elder because he talks too much and such is never fit to be regarded as elder.

Now the Truth is Edo central must have it this time not minding the oshiomhole factor. Know this and know peace

his talking made him who he is today, as a two terms governor, a senator and the leader of APC in Edo State.

whizzler:
U think so? Edo north votes will cancel that of central. South will edge it for home boy Idahosa. The guy is a puller. He defeated the great igbinedion in his federal constituency twice

don't mind that armchair political analyst. Opebholo need to work with Denise idahosa and oshomole for him to succeed. Edo norh is locked down for oshomole come sun, come rain. Denise controls Ovia north and south, which have large voting populace, and work hard to get something from
his own Edo central, then he is good to go.

senatordave1:


I think he can reconcile with iyamu and denco can be the running mate if not PST iyamu will be the next party leader

some of you always over rate this pst Ize-iyamu too much. If not for political appointment has he ever won an election? A candidate who couldn't win his local government not to talk of his senatorial district is seen by you as a political heavyweight. Denise idahosa and oshomole holds the key to Opebholo victory if he is going to win. These are grass roots politicians that knows how to win elections not noise makers like pst Ize-iyamu who can't win his local government.

bestman09:

How did the almighty Idahosa fall flat like this? Where was Oshiomole and Kabaka?

don't talk like a kid, politics is about give and take. You don't know what must have transpired behind the scene. There is always a consensus in issues like this for the party to move forward. Oshomole is still the leader of APC in Edo State, without his consensus with the powers that be Opebholo won't emerge. Opebholo need the votes of the Edo North to win the election and oshomole hold the ace there. Remove oshomole from Edo APC the party is as good as dead.

The real Nigerian, not those useless frustrated miscreants on nairaland who want anything evil for their father's land.

Yong4ever:
Senseless measures, 'workers in teaching sector will maintain 5 days a week' , what about workers in health sector, are hospitals not being run on 24hrs basis? more so that they're now being short staffed due to 'japa syndrome', insincere government!!!

lazy youth, always ask questions or read to understand issues before jumping into the waters of foolishness. He made the point of the health workers explicitly clear, stop displaying your ignorance here.

These guys are empty.
If you trade your dog for a monkey you still have a squatting animal in your house.

you that is full are you too young to rule?

atiku4President:
All the knee-jerk approach by APC led government will only serve to temporarily deceive the people. The real problems must be solved which include creating jobs and enabling environment for small businesses to thrive. When are we going to have leaders that think ahead?

you can't create jobs overnight, people need to live to work. Talk is cheap, everybody is an expert on social media.

Sometimes you wonder which babalawo dey give these people mind say dem go fit win an election wen dey are not even known by their street people.

Basicend:
Not only them. . the Chairmen and Executive directors of the banks are the ones amortizing those funds personal use and hoardings. They are the cabals.
They call the MDs, directors / RMs and instruct them on how segments of those funds must be kept aside from public disbursement. That is why CBN tried to aggressively fight bank FX deposits.

unfortunately, I don't think the president has the political will to deal with them because most of them are his friends and cronies, eg, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia etc.

Jeje247:
Recalling the numbers from the APC primaries results, this result quoted doesn't seem to make sense. Are they saying APC have more delegates than PDP in Edo state?

APC conducted direct primary while PDP used delegates to conduct theirs. They are two different forms of process.

mastermaestro:


Sincerely speaking this guy is the best amongst all the candidates being put forward by all the political parties. Obaseki behaved badly, no doubt. But this choice of his is a great one.

I like the fact that he did not hide his choice all along. Meanwhile, other parties are still trying to settle, which shows a lack of adequate preparation on their part.

please tell us his unique selling point so we can buy into it. I hate sweeping statements.

Damnnn niggar
Nice one
Congratulations our next governor

Lets give esan a chance

It is time for the esan to rule

I'm a bini. father bini mother bini

But as a real niggar Let us give it to esan

That stupid marginalisation Nigeria is doing at the national level we won't do it here in Edo state

nothing is given on a platter of gold, you have to fight for it. Your vote is plus one and
others, will decide who will govern Edo State in the next four years.

no problem at all.

This desperado is on his own.

Omosede Igbinedion just endorsed and stepped down for Dr Asue ighodalo

she just made up the numbers, never a contender.

NaMe4:
Omosede Igbinedion just stepped down for Dr Asue ighodalo

Great one our dear sister

as expected.

[quote author=SQLmastar post=128592160] This Ihama guy is always stepping down.
Stepped down for Obaseki
Stepped down for Pastor
Now stepping down for Ighodalo[/quote ] it's all about capacity, what can he bring to the table? Some politicians are over rated, and he is one of them.

dhoncesar:

It's like we don't know what's really happening out there. All of our freedom right activist have left us all with this doom... Where is wole shoyinka and co... No one has the right to speak freely anymore, there is nothing like democracy except you want to go crazy or 6foot underneath . Everyone is hiding their head in this time. May God save us from this doom. Tell me which state is not facing one or two ? If it's not kidnapping it will be headsmen or bombing or ritual or whatthefuck!!! Even the private firms are running their scams in other to secure their starved throat talkless of the public or federal sectors . I believe this is the end. Except there is a miracle

There is almost 300% on everything, fuel ,food house rent and so on... But salaries are not increasing. But they do release music to us, just to distract us from concentrating and we dance like zombies that we are (like baba fela said) and seems to forget our worries while our bills rise and grow every seconds. We suffer and smile just because we couldn't speak up ... Only God can save us...... That's why you see those that couldn't keep up commiting suicide , it's not their fault but they can't keep fighting forever. Is it until we have just 100,000 people left in this nation before it gets better

If we have any way to make this right , please don't let's hesitate. Because your helper might die withing this struggle, so what's left for you..

Peace 🕊️

are you too young to be a freedom fighter or an activists? Abi, those activist dem get two heads and you get one?

No matter how it's seen by people, this man will always be respected by me. He's got the balls. In a country where 95 percent of the population are scared and afraid to fight for what they want, he stood out.

Welcome back king..

please enumerate what he fought for?
