BREAKING!!! Oshiomhole, Kano, Kogi Governors On US Visa Ban List

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, is among top Nigerians with a visa ban by the United States Government on Monday, Igbere TV has gathered.


According to SR, Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello, are also among those affected by the latest US Sanction

While Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna on the other hand had his own visa ban extended.


He has been banned from entering the US since 2010 over a graft case.

According to US officials, more Nigerian politicians may be included on the visa ban list after the Edo governorship election if they are involved in electoral malpractice.


Those affected by the latest visa ban have received notification by email and or text messages, it was learnt.

A statement by spokesperson for the Department of State, Morgan Ortagus, on Monday said those issued visa bans received the sanction for undermining democracy in Nigeria.

It reads, “In July 2019, we announced the imposition of visa restrictions on Nigerians who undermined the February and March 2019 elections. Today, the Secretary of State is imposing additional visa restrictions on individuals for their actions surrounding the November 2019 Kogi and Bayelsa states elections and in the run up to the September and October 2020 Edo and Ondo states elections.

“These individuals have so far operated with impunity at the expense of the Nigerian people and have undermined democratic principles.

“The Department of State emphasises that the actions announced today are specific to certain individuals and not directed at the Nigerian people. This decision reflects the Department of State’s commitment to working with the Nigerian Government to realise its expressed commitment to end corruption and strengthen democracy, accountability, and respect for human rights."

Your answer was " Nnamdi kanu "

What concerns Nnamdi Kanu with Edo elections. That shows that you are a national fool.

You are mocking people online because of social media. Instead of you to learn from people's concerns about the nation and you are digging up your foolishness.

I have checked your comment and found out that others have quoted your foolish comment because they noticed a fool like you.

I can't even employ someone like you as my gateman.
I don't know the answer you will give to my quest at the gate.

Irrational comment.
I thought you said you are hustling abroad.....someone hustling abroad is imaging employing someone a gateman.

A confused human being...may you be ruined completely without no remedy.

A fool like you will always be a fool. I will reply every of your quotes to prove to you that you're a fool and uncultured person in every ramifications.

Our problem is the politicians. Not our individual differences

Our problem is that we are not meant to be conjoined together....thiugh the military colonist joined us together for ease of administration and cost-minimizing...howver, our nationalist suppose to undo the cojoining before going for Independence....
Nigeria case is just like a lady that want to marry on time...instead of marrying with the person that they both possess the same value and common goal...she married a strange so after three years of their marriage..the Union started coming with different issues that led to civil matrimony war....and some external body came to solve the problem for them but the issue persists till this present generation...
Despite the fact that they have been having children in the marriage what do you think will become of the characters and posterity of these broken homes....

Nigeria, which way..

Lol...the graphics reminds me of the social distancing scoreline that sent Messi to the wilderness looking for another club after Barca were beaten 8 - 2 by Bayern. Channels TV saw the percentage difference which made Obaseki appear with an Iroko tree lead compared to Ize Iyamu's waterleaf score. Channels had to issue a disclaimer before it raises APC supporters BP.

As saw the article this morning and the fraudulent statistics depiction....immediately I responded that this is coming from one of the obaseki cronies and not Channel TV as propounded...the level of biased and the sentiment is crystal clear.....
Oneseki has nothing to offer except churning out fictitious figures and statistics for his gullible cronies to be feeding....the early the Edo people understand the better for them and the future of their generation yet unborn...he kept on borrowing money to fund his election campaign...his governance and administrative lapses stinks...

*Edo 2020: Flash Polls scores Obaseki 76.3%, Ize-Iyamu 23.7% on CHANNELS TV Guber Debate*

*_…respondents rank Obaseki higher on elocution, firm grasp of development issues rubrics_*

Shortly after the CHANNELS Television Governorship Debate which featured candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Godwin Obaseki and Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Sunday night, the result just received from Flash Poller, an international pollster, shows Obaseki garnered 76.3 per cent of the positive votes while APC’s Ize-Iyamu scored 23.7 per cent.

The viewers who were sampled randomly by Flash Poller, noted that the Edo State Governor and standard bearer of the PDP, demonstrated a firm understanding of development issues, namely; resource mobilisation, partnership with development actors such as the World Bank and his high premium on due process, transparency and the rule of law.

Some participants linked Obaseki’s outstanding performance in the area highlighted above, to his vast experience in the corporate world, his finance background, his eight-year job as head of the Economic Management Team in the state and his four years as governor of the state.

“From Obaseki’s presentation, it is glaring that he understands modern tools of development and governance, such as the effective deployment of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and strategic partnership with the private sector, traditional institution and other development actors,” a viewer of the CHANNELS TV Debate, and poll respondent, told Flash Poller.

However, Ize-Iyamu’s 23.7 per cent votes came on the back of his perceived ability to galvanise the political class, given his longer history in partisan politics. But the viewers surveyed said they wouldn’t know how this affinity with the political class would translate to enhanced socio-economic status for majority of Edo people.

Specifically, the sampled population for the poll scored Obaseki higher than the APC candidate in elocution, presentation, comportment, appreciation of issues, use of rebuttal, use of argument, factuality and comportment, amongst other rubrics, with an average score of 7 to 3, in favour of the PDP candidate.

Ize-Iyamu lost points when the viewers surveyed expressed higher readiness to entrust the state’s resources in the hands of the PDP candidate, as according to them “Ize-Iyamu failed to acknowledge some achievements of the Obaseki-led administration, such as education reforms; projects like the Ossiomo Independent Power Plant and the Edo Modular Refinery, which are on ground in the state.”

The respondents added: “In a debate of this nature, debaters score higher when they are honest. Ize-Iyamu should have acknowledged those achievements of Obaseki. Failure to do that means he is not truthful and cannot be trusted by viewers. You must be seen to be trustworthy. He was in a hurry to outshine and outdo Obaseki, so he thought debate is about plenty talk to discredit or rubbish your opponent.”

The debate grading or scoring rubrics used in the survey, included; presentation, comportment, appreciation of issues, use of rebuttal, use of argument, factuality, mutual respect, questions for opponent; elocution, and use of time.

Flash Polls, according to Barometr.com, “are a type of survey designed to quickly reach a target audience with a time-sensitive goal. They can take on a variety of forms and are popular in many sectors. Although used frequently during political campaigns, flash polls are common across all sectors.
“Most flash polls are based on pre-built templates. This allows them to be deployed rapidly in response to an event or major topic. Due to their limited time-frame, they rely heavily on statistical inference to make up for a limited sample size.”

The population of the surveyed group comprised people located in Edo State and other parts of the world, who watched the CHANNELS TV Governorship Debate, and are very familiar with the issues surrounding the Edo gubernatorial election.

It is so obvious that one of the Obaseki cronies wrote this article report...
The report was written with political sentiment and affection for the ruling party in Edo State.
And this is the reason Edo State will not know any development because when you passionately support someone that has done next to nothing in tenure, you don't owe him an explanation when he will continue failing...
Someone said "obaseki hasn't done anything but I will vote for him because I hate oshimole"

KingMicky3286:
Who is this foolish and uncultured person?

You don't need to look far....you as a foolish and uncouth person...your folks are in the forest eating grasses and rubbing their bodies in the mud.

kingzizzy:
Its only natural that Nnamdi Kanu would want to work with people who are genuinely seeking independence and freedom from the failed British invented contraption known as Nigeria

For me, I think that Oduduwa Republic is just a knee jerk reaction, I dont think most Yorubas give a damn about it.

Oodua people are not lawless and atrocious people like the IPOB sect who are bent of causing destruction and wanton killing in order to realize the ruse agitation and psudo-balkanization. We are known for using all peaceful and legal avenue to achieve our inalienable rights.....
Your people have been crying for balkanization and nothing significant has been achieved except for some few folks in the sects that are taking advantage of gullible Igbo people to raise for one emperor who is on self -exile....

Fedrams:
Pastor eze could not answer the questions. He kept on attacking obaseki. Obaseki is quite intelligent. Pastor did not answer how he pour acid on fellow student. This is an opportunity to apologize for the past and that will earn him a tru man of God

You are naive politically....this is what is called political debate... In a debate competition, you find your opponent weak point to galvanized on...if the table around, obaseki will also do the same...

Jesse25:
Yoruba and Igbo people we die of pains when obaseki finally wins .....

Blind eligible voter spotted....ass-licker

To be serious....Obaseki is on point...she controls the debate and copiously explained his achievement over the years and what he intends to achieve if elected as the governor of Edo State.

Nnamdi Cownu won the Edo debate

Declares Oct 1 As “Unhappiness Day”
• Calls For Boycott Of 2023 Election
• Alleges President Buhari Of Anti-restructuring Stance
• Reiterates Calls For Self-determination

The Yoruba Summit Group (YSG) has called on the international community and multinational lending institutions to cease and desist forthwith, from any further disbursement of loans and grants to Nigeria because of the bleak future of the country.

The group said the call became necessary because “subsequent disbursements shall not be countenanced as part of assets and liabilities of the Nigeria country that would most sooner than later be reconfigured or dissolved.”

The group has also reiterated its call to Yorubas to boycott the 2023 general elections just as they are advised to henceforth, consider October 1 as a day of “unhappiness” when they must tie ribbon on their arm as a sign of declaring Nigeria as a failed state.


The Yoruba Summit Group (YSG) in its reaction to what it described as “anti restructuring” stance of President Muhammadu Buhari, said the country looks irredeemable and it will be a waste of time to vote in the 2023 general elections.

The self determination group in a communique signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo noted that the time has come for the Yoruba to begin to think outside the contraption called Nigeria.

The group also dismissed efforts by the federal government to review the 1999 Constitution as a “wasteful exercise”, noting that the ethnic composition of the members of the National Assembly cannot bring the desired restructuring. The group also alleged the National Assembly as an appendage of the federal government.

YSG said, “The totality of the Nigerian 1999 Constitution must be jettisoned and a fresh document produced, which will truly reflect the wishes of “we the people”.

As a way forward, the group urged the federal government to set up a “Technical Constitution Drafting Committee (TCDC)” to work out within three months a new framework into a document as basis for all ethnic nationalities to live in peace as collaborative neighbours, using existing documents in the public domain.

YSE said the TCDC should have the mandate to produce guidelines that will facilitate the voluntary reconfiguration and realignments by “ethnic nationalities, sub-ethnic nationalities, clans and communities as would later form the basis of their mutual accommodation to live together in a true federation or to actively seek self-determination in order to actualize their God-given human rights under international laws.

“The outcome of the TCDC effort is to be the subject of a National Referendum in order to secure the consent of the Nigerian people. The National Assembly is to adopt the Doctrine of Necessity once again, by making the Law with provisions on processes to guide the historic transition from the 1999 Constitution until the enactment of a new Constitutional order is attained. The new order shall be the basis of any further elections in Nigeria.


The YSG also re-affirms its earlier position that notwithstanding the ambition by a very tiny household in our midst, the Yoruba Nation and her peoples should not be part of another charade in the name of 2023 Federal Elections. We should not confer legitimacy to an exercise in futility at the end of which the gloating message of the conqueror shall be: “go to court.” We therefore wish our peoples to be wary of the insolent offers of Presidency positions, pitting South East against South West Regions. It is a ruse!

The statement reads further, “The YSG strongly believes that the current exercise to amend the Nigerian Constitution is a needless, irresponsible and surreptitious gambit to distract the various Nigerian ethnic nationalities agitating for restructuring, true federalism or self-determination.

“How can you ask people to submit memoranda to amend a fatally flawed constitution which ab-intio contains contrived clauses and entrenched imbalances which will nullify the aspirations of many major ethnic groups in the country, especially in the southwest?

“There is an unfair representation of many ethnic nationalities in the NASS because of our flawed census figures and unfair geographical division of the country into states and local governments done by military fiat by soldiers of northern extraction following successive coups.

“For example, the current situation whereby all the federal legislators in the southeast region, originally one third of the tripod that held Nigeria together, add up to just the number of legislators in Kano State should not be employed to amend a constitution which requires a 2/3 majority vote of the National Assembly. Similar distortions also exist in the southwest when we compare the 20 local governments in Lagos to that of Kano with 44. As it is, the North has been given a veto power over all the other regions combined. This shouldn’t be. That is why there is always the refrain “go to the national assembly” from the North whenever unfairness or imbalances in the polity are pointed out.”

The group said that every signal from the government, contradicts a desire for genuine change – from the President’s pronouncements since he came, his various actions, “the way various bills being smuggled into and sometimes by the legislature into the NASS, particularly, the vexatious Water Bill.”

YSG said it is unfortunate to note that the “Global Terrorism Index screams “Nigeria has Emerged as The Most terrorised country in Africa and ranked third in the world”.

“All our peoples, along with those of other regions are hereby advised to regard

“YSG being a Federation of Yoruba bodies hereby enjoin all member groups to think creatively and execute passive, peaceful ways and means of asserting their human rights. This may include the wearing of RED BANDS on the wrist or shoulders in commemoration of the blood of the innocents that have been spilled. These activities should commence

There is no smoke without fire. I think Nigeria extinction is fast approaching....this movement might be sponsored and supported by the international bodies or countries.... I types based on past experiences in my involvement In student politics.....
When there is a protest in the school, be assured that there are big sponsors somewhere fanning the ember of dismemberment

Igbo crew will blame Tinubu for this....keeping reading their comments....
Nyamiri people only focus on the development and mistake that is happening in lagos state while they leave their own regional affairs unattended to...they to see lagos as a State to be conquered by all means...if it is even possible for some of them, they will be claiming Lagos State as their native State...
By the UNESCO standard, the school should be locked down until necessary action be taken by the school authority...
UNN used to be among the pride of the University in the country but has turned to a total mess because of poor management....what a shame!

SmartPolician:
Veryyyyyyyy funny

Niger Delta is a geographic creation.

South South even sounds stupid because it doesn't exist on the cardinal points.

Tribes are championing to walk away from Nigeria not regions.

Let that sink in.

Igbo people have covered the glory of south-south so they are just mere geographical creation..

By the way, did the bible ask men of God to insult those against christianity

This is the answer to your question....

Acts 13:9-12 *" Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord."

But you didn't tackle your godfather or the act, Mr Eliot. Even if na with one nice movie.

See, when the godfatherism is favouring them, you won't here a word, but once the table turns, expect war.

Their matter na to sit down look.

Masses are politicians puppets...they know our code of using us for their selfish political ambition...and once they have achieved their aim they dump their followers like sachet water nylons...
Edo no be Lagos...how I wish Obaseki can campaign against godfatherism 4 years ago...how I wish he can be disloyal to oshimole 4 years ago...
It provoked me, when I see some key-pad warrior supporting political ruse and gimmick....some of them are not wise.. I'm sure if Obaseki is re-elected, after four years of his tenure, the slogan will change dramatically....because he will definitely have at least one anointed son to be installed as the governor of Edo State....
Edo state, e ronu oh....
Naija be wise
