A message to the PDP lapdogs.
Oshiomhole did not conduct the election, was never part of the election and as a responsible governor, He approved the needed funds for the election via the state house of assembly appropriation.

Whilst there is no reason for the state electoral commission not to have delivered, the good news for Nigerians is no rigging of candidates or fostering of candidates by Oshiomhole led government on the people.

Like a dogged fighter that He is, I know He will get to the root of why electoral materials were not distributed timely and be rest assured that those found wanting will face the music of law.

Finally, I am sorry to disappoint you no PDP candidate will win any LG chairmanship seat, not because of the persons running on the platform of PDP, no because we EDOS have drawn a line in the sand that just like God himself has drawn a line in the sand concerning good and evil, PDP will never govern Edo state again. And we took a vow that all those who support the return of PDP to power will forever retrogress in everything they do.

Very stupid attempt to trivialise a very serious discussion. To think this is coming from a supposed MOD makes me wonder! If you have not got anything meaningful to contribute to this topical discussion then shut it in.

@topic,
I think it is now obvious to all and sundry that Nigeria is witnessing new low in every facet of our nationhood. My full conviction that GEJ led government is a failure is based on two things;
1. His inabilities to take FULL advantage of the popular support He had in 2011 to send those known political criminals in Nigeria to jail, and allowed that support to fizzle out even faster than air with His ridiculously anti-people policies. First was His 7-years proposal for Presidency at a time Nigerians were asking questions about How Yar'dua cabal mismanaged the country.

2. His refusals to send to jail, those who have been exposed as crooks within His government.

These two singular act will have endeared Him to the hearts of Nigeria and allow Him to focus on development. But no like the coward He was in Bayelsa state, He refused to learn a lesson.

Now the greatest worry is if this clown does not see a light beyond 2015, He might play the same game as obasanjo by fostering an even weaker leadership from the north on Nigeria.

Whoever compiled this list is a village champion!how can you say Akwa-Ibom is more developed than Edo? To even see Delta state on that list means the op really does not understand what development really is!

For all I care, the only state nearing anything called development in Nigeria is Lagos. Abuja comes closest but still years always from being a developed state. All others are glorified towns still developing.

Sibrah: Look come 2015 people are still going to act with ethnic sentiments. What we should know is that many more Nigerians want the current PDP clique out.

2015 will surprise so many of you by the spirit of change Nigerians will display. The opposition are going to campaign with what they have done and the election will be issue based on what PDP have offered Nigerians since 1999.

We already know PDP has only one plan for 2015. Use the extremist card and portray opposition as those responsible for the bombings.

koruji: How ironic that Mr. insincere9gerian just opened a topic to whitewash his Lord and Master?
Who is fooling who?

But for the international community the army had enough excuse to kick GEJ's backside into jail. Nigerians don't need that but in 2015 he must be shown the way to Otuoke ballot-wise !!!

Bros it is not a coincidence oh! I said these people are demons in human flesh. They knew this bombshell was coming and quickly they dispatched their e-squad begin debates online and in print newspapers of how corrupt other past presidents were so they can becloud the reasoning of Nigerians.

This report though not a big surprise but it reemphasises all we have been saying in this forum since 2010.

Hehe, Ameachi wants to remind the "clueless one" that a house is not built from top to bottom... Rather its the other way around. ...

PapaBrowne: Bobs! I travelled to Port Harcourt Yesterday!
Jonathan don vex. I have never seen as much construction in one strecth of road like I saw on the east west road.
The type and quantity of trucks alone, you go fear!!

To be fair, Nigeria is experiencing a massive infrastructure renewal!

See the clown... You think we have forgotten your antics with Benin-Ore road? Now it is East-West road.. Haha ...

Abeg where is SURE-P Oleburuku

The following players should be sent packing in the summer.
1. Ramsey
2. Sagna
3. Arteta

They are absolutely useless....

Lovely stadium I must say...

obakovich: [/b]Below are some of the impeachable offences of the Governor of Rivers State:
(a)The Mono rail project which has so far cost the rivers people over 15billion naira,yet nothn to show.
(b)The Demonic witch hunting of the 3 house of assembly members who refuse to give ameachi a vote of confidence.
(c)Mortgaging the future of rivers people by constantly collecting loans/bonds of over $1billion.
(d)Illegal demolition of abonemma wharf and killing of citizens in Bundu water front.[b]

So we still have people like this in Nigeria in 2013

nahinbdis: There you are!!!

FACT: The best roads in Benin are FEDERAL GOVT ROADS!

Benin Ore road goes through Ugbowo to Uselu, Five Junction, Iyaro, and terminates at Akpakpava.

Benin Asaba road goes through Depot to Agbor Park, Ramat Park, Ikpoba Hill, Akpakpava, Ring Road, Sapele Road and then on to Benin-Sapele Expressway. Note that there is a branch off of this road at Ikpoba Hill through Murtala Muhammed Road on to Sapele Road and through Murtala Muhammed Road on to Upper Sakponba Road and Benin Abraka Road.

Benin-Auchi Expressway runs through Eyaen, Aduwawa and joins Benin-Asaba Express at Ramat Park

FACT: All of these roads are currently motorable! And it is not correct that Oshiomhole fixes Federal roads in Benin. He merely plants flowers along the median and a couple of other beautification works and then claims the projects as his own e.g. Akpakpava Road through to Sapele Road.

thank God Oshiomhole chased the useless Maku with His pot bellied cameramen out of Edo State... soon they will claim the best government schools in Edo State are Federal government own...

Just wait for progressives to take over the central government in 2015, you will return to your bed 013 at Yaba left...

taharqa: Well, you are not totali STU.PID then. That was yr smartest move to run away from questns bout d Claims you made in d previous comment...

You are an excellent description of an i.diot! Anyone who knows Benin and who has live in Benin in the last two years know that the From Ekiadolor to Ore is called Benin-Ore-Shagamu-Lagos road. And that section of the road is where the FG have concentrated their effort, neglecting the Ekiadolor, Ugbowo, Uselu, Five-Junction, Dawson upto Akpakpava road junction towards Ikpoba Hill area.

The expansion of the road to Six lanes from Ugbowo Main Gate to Dawson upto Akpakpava road junction is being carried out by Oshiomhole with central divides and street lighting as was done on Akpakpava road, TV road, Ekewan road, Sapele road, etc.

So go get your facts right and stop crediting the works of a hard working, people focused and Nigeria loved Governor to a clueless man who does not know what Power means except when it comes to fighting those who oppose His senseless leadership.

[quote author=Adura_ngba]This is why this nation seems to be retrogressing, no chance for the youth. Old cargoes who have been in power since independence are still gladiators in the political landscape.[/quote]Is it disgruntled element like you that praise criminals in power that will come rescue Nigeria

[size=13pt]Shey "YANSH" still dey back? ..Abeg commot from road jor.[/size]..

taharqa: Come on SHUT IT right there, Goon. Which Uniben to Ekiadolor Portion is d State Govt doing? The one that exists in yr dreams?? OKPEee...

[size=17pt]You know you are mentally challenged so I do not have time for your type.. when progressives take over government at the center, people like you will have enough bed in Yaba.. [/size]

Op, get your facts right!... [size=16pt]The section beyond Main Gate at UNIBEN is not being fixed by Federal Governemnt! Oshiomhole is the one fixing that portion and it will extend towards Ekiadolor. All the sections from Main Gate towards Akpakpava is being fixed by Oshiomhole and God punish any PDP lapdog that come here to deceive people with the works of Oshiomhole... Do you think it easy to have a brain that works? Aks GEJ if you care [/size]..

The sections around of OFUSU needs drainage that will channel the water to the valleys around.

billante: Are u so daft u can't comprehend wat I said!?

When 40 million people need jobs and 5 million jobs are created.... Will u say no jobs were created just because 100,000 people showed up for a 2000 job vacancies!?

Your stupidity is alarming! If jobs are being created like you claim, why on earth will you have millions running after the hundreds of jobs advertised by a government agency?

The reality on ground is companies are not hiring and no new jobs are being created because the government's policies have been "Share the oil money" among the rich and not embarking on grand scale economic reforms and transparency.

Burger01: This is the handiwork of marketers and some Nigerians who would prefer to cash in on the gain of inflation drop as against the average Nigerians enjoying and benefiting from the progress of the country economically. Some Nigerian marketers and business people are just thieves and saboteurs in the making. Unless their is a regulatory body in place to check such sharp economy practises amongst Nigerian markers Nigerians would never feel the impact of inflation drop. No wonder people keep saying prices of commodities would never come down in Naija. A sachet of 'pure water' was once sold at 10 naira and now some sell for 5naira and most bad eggs sell for 10 naira. Now, who is to be blamed?

@ bold... if government is not to be blamed... why do we have a government? Is the government not suppose to be the regulator by ensuring policies and institutions that checkmate activities like these are put in place and work effectively?

I give you an example, in Edo State, in 2010, pure water was increased in some towns unilaterally by the baggage companies and the government took a decisive action and asked those companies to stop the exploitation. Very quickly, the governor, Adams Oshiomhole moved in with government machinery, and within few weeks the baggage companies reversed their prices to the old price.

porka: What's value of the discount?

Do you know the tax waivers Dangote currently enjoys courtesy of the 10 year self-sufficiency cement policy Obasanjo initiated to encourage indigenous production of cement? Try and do some research and educate yourself a little bit..

billante: If those dat are saying dat no job is being created knows d amount of new industries dat are spring up they will just shut up!

Wempco dat GEJ commission today is employing 5000 people and tens of these industries are everyday being established by private sector, motivated by good govt policies and backing

There are lots of jobs being created everyday as I typee but the unemployment percentage is so big that it seems like no new jobs are being created....but if real check is done it will baffel u dat thousands got employed just for today!

You talk like a child slow in learn and lacking in understanding. Need I remind you of the report of thousands of Nigerians that applied for the few hundreds of government job vacancy recently

chess guru: This is where your argument should have been directed in the 1st place.
I honestly can't vouch for this figures, but saying dat the figures are false based solely on the rise in price of commodities is wrong, and that was my issue with you.
The spending power is the real issue and not the rise in price, and this I believe is the real challenge any govt in nigeria will face.

The reality is this, the purchasing power of the citizen is severely impacted by the prices of the good and services. If prices of goods and services keep rising, you would have less money to spend except on basic necessities. So cannot separate one from the other.

VOODOO economics is what is practiced in Nigeria unfortunately...

[quote author=enigma_otr]A fall in Inflation doesn't mean a fall in price. It only shows that price are increasing but at a decreasing rate. It's nothing to celebrate. I quit.[/quote]Then a slow rate on price increase means more purchasing power = more goods and services being bought or more savings by Nigerians right?..Are we seeing any of these ? This is why it is called Voodoo economics my brother..

chess guru: Reading the comments so far, I get the idea that a lot of people are J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ confusing deflation and inflation.
When someone uses the increase in price of rice or garri in his area (blindly forgetting that there are thousands of other markets scattered around the country) to debunk the figures, I J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ see it as a mild confusion.
As someone said above, that inflation rate has reduced doesn't mean that price of goods won't go up (that's why its called reduced INFLATION rate), it simply points to the fact they it will increase at a more slower pace.
In order words price of commodities MUST STiLL INCREASE! But now @ a lower rate of 9.6 percent.

Inflation in simple terms is a rise in the general cost of Goods and Services, Hence the reason you compute it through CPI or through WPI.

If your claim has any basis, a slow down in the rate of price increase should see a corresponding increase in the spending power of Nigerians. Is this the case today in Nigeria

awodman: So that is how you could comprehend his explanation?...dude I don't know whether its a case of comprehension problem or still the same hateful venom that characterizes your person

Call it what you like... some of you are innately wicked, and you careless about the poor because you currently are benefiting from the current dispensation that jolly in deception and falsehood.

Real economics is not rocket science. If Nigerians daily are saying the hardship in the country has increased and all available data is indicating hitherto rising middle-working class with purchasing power many hope will help jump start the economy and sustain her bullish economic development and growth for years is on a spiral downfall, does it not bother you when our government reel out numbers indicating a different trend?

Let me ask you one question, what exactly has happened to Nigeria economy in the last 30 days to warrant a 1% drop in inflation Mind you in March 2013, NBS said inflation was 9.6% and barely 30 days after, that has dropped to 8.6% ..this is what you call WOW

boron10: Take a look at the Price of electronics, mobile phones, calls, clothes, transportation etc and tell me how the increases have been up to 8.6%. It's obvious you're only concerned about the price food. Hungry man

Like seriously? Huh?...Are you for real The madness of 1st January 2012, has the dust settled down still in the economy? So you want to tell me transportation has not gone up by more than 9%? Are you for real at all?

TechRev: Their bile and negativity is always their undoing. They can never cheer at a good news, yet they expect good Crazy ppl!

You cheer at falsehood? ...no wonder your life is this way Wake up and speak uprightly.This nation will never attain the development we all seek if we do not tell ourselves the hard truth and do what is right!

Super1759: this is the problem we have in nigeria. Why are we this power-hungry? Instead of working with the govt to better our nation.
Buhari has never shown any interest in the insurgency we are suffering from.
He is just planning how to get aso rock or kill people to get it by-force...
We don't need recycling of old fooooools.
Buhari has nothing to offer that we don't have.
He will be respected more if he becomes an elder-states man.
What is his input in the ongoing insecurity issue?
What is input in the decay of infrastructure?
What is his input in the religion fracas?
What is his input to settle or reduce rate of unemployment.
He is just power hungry to come and suck the remaining blood and scope his own loot. No anymore man

One word can simply describe you : COWARD! is Buhari the only northern elder in the country? Was Buhari part of those who said they will make the country ungovernable? Do you know what it means when the head of Nigeria's intelligence Agency categorically state that the sponsors of state terrorism on Nigerians are PDP leaders?

Do you really think Buhari is like your Gowon that runs around every government in the name of elder's statesman looking for contracts
