ALTERNATEID:
Abia state of LP is 81%

EmekaA125:
Yes. He doesn't care Anioma people at all. All the roads are in deplorable condition.

AuItsene:
My own problem is that the figure obaseki gave as his achievement IGR is not the same as what I am reading here.
I'm worried.

kedeojo:
He is clamouring for Anioma state and with Asaba definitely the state capital but selfishness will not allow him to think alright. If I am the current governor, I will not locate any project to that axis for now. Delta central were the governor hails from are the largest voting strength in delta state. All the governor need is to develop delta central and south and he will win again. I pray Anioma becomes a reality but if it fails, delta north will sweat to produce governor again cos it was out of pity it was zoned to them before. Let the Aniomas caution Nwoko cos it's statement will bring mistrust by the two other zones. That is the mistrust the igbos are facing currently in Nigeria because of reckless statements by some of them.

EmekaA125:
I came to Asaba and swore never to visit again until the roads there improves. The current governor has abandoned Asaba as if the town is not housing the government house and other important State buildings. Why is Governor Oborevwori treating Igbo speaking part of Delta State like this??

Solsix:
Are u not worried that delta state receives close to 40b monthly and they are not competing with the likes of Lagos interms of infrastructure and job creation

Ikaeniyan0:
I've been to Enugu state before, the state is a civil servant state with nothing meaningful going on there. There's massive poverty in Enugu state.

Kinzo0000:
Delta is the worst State in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Despite all we get, when you visit my state Delta, you will weep. No meaningful development

Since the inception of Delta State, we have not had good governor even down to the current one

What an inconjubogous…

YoungLionken:
Oh come on you guys should move on already ! You people talk as if Obaseki is a saint or na better person ! The Edo state treasury, government house, etc (according to news) is being looted massively with little or nothing to spare, focus on that y'all!!!

LagosFc:
honestly nysc opened my eyes, during my stay in owerri…anytime we get to onitsha before getting to ihiala, you see louts everywhere and you the hypocrisy of this Igbos

They make it seem like, agbero are only found in Lagos, I’m happy that the few Yorubas that are privileged to visit that barren land, can really see their hypocrisy

KingGBsky:
You see all the works going on in south south states and I look at my state Edo state and bemoan the cursed governors we’ve had since democracy.
Only Oshiomhole did better.

vanitybutiwanti:
Some APC governors are just too incompetent, just look at the paltry sum he spent on works in 6 months

Lordofalmajiri:
There's nothing like economic development in akwaibom, I just came back from Uyo . They got good roads, but no economic growth, the indigenous people are suffering. You fit see sharp hookup girl 5k in uyo,

blowjohn:
When I tell people as a non indigene of edo state who lived there for more than a decade, Oshiomhole really tried for that state..... They come for me.


Obaseki frm reports of people who feed me daily info and my 1 year stay before I left benin, the guy no try at all

Bukola94:
F.A refs are quack & cheat

SegzyJoe:
If he is winning he won't ever say that. Nigeria politicians, they can't ever change. They can't accept defeat, they prepare for victory, but never prepare for defeat. Apart from pay salaries, 2hat else did obaseki achieved. I served in Benin Edo 20 years ago, it was flooding everywhere, today once it rained there is still flooding everywhere, I am talking of GRA , not only the slums.

senatordave1:
I still have it to pdp...it seems all the bigwigs there delivered their units..

madridguy:
The man is a big disaster to the good people of Edo State.

ALTERNATEID:
There is no point maligning people’s integrity just to make silly point. The REC of Edo state has been there long before the public fight between Wike and Fubara.

If APC wins Edo state, it won’t be because of INEC or any rigging. As at the moment, over 90% of polling unit results gave been uploaded to IREV directly from the polling units. So, why drag the REC into this?

Obaseki is an ingrate and whether you guys want to admit it or not, Nigerians don’t reward ingrates. Obaseki was a below average governor who still made too many enemies out of those who once backed him. Edo people are finally tired of him.

AGUBANZE:
I talk am yesterday say APC go win but mentions dey talk otherwise like say them dey Edo State.


Have you seen the old road and the Benin Onitsha Express? You go cry, inside this week my guy no fit travel go onitsha because Bypass done turn to ogbolo, road done maga

Nah to work and repaint ring road we go chop?

The whole Ikpoba Okha nah potopoto republic, no form or sign of governance.


PDP nah relic of the past now, until we see better opposition better than labour I am sad to say this but APC go school for this politics matter

MrHyde:
Even before possible rigging, I don't understand how Nigerians are voting for APC. I really don't.

PussyOdour:




If Edo people foolishly allows APC to hijack their state, then sorry for them. Any Party can win Edo, but let it not be Apc for crying out loud.

With the suffering the evil terrorist APC have subdued Nigerians to, them winning a state like a Edo of all states is a big slap to all Edo people.

Why will APC even have one vote in any election conducted with all their evil agendas and atrocities they've committed? God! There's no hope in sight? If APC wins Edo state of all states, then obviously Tinubu is winning flawlessly in the next election. Nigeria is cursed with fóolish citizens not just leaders.

travelzcruix:
This Ebonyi self resemble curse of poverty right from time memorial. See Abakaliki c suffer.

sparko1:
.

He did well? 🙄🙄🙄

Please, don't say what you don't know, from first term, he was bad, he only got second term because he blackmailed Edolites with Oshomole, we felt pity for him and then saw his true color.

Bobloco:
They had manufacture the news today just to give themselves some false hope because it's just a couple of days to the Edo governorship election

Lovelife433:
how will you see all the good work of Obaseki when hunger and poverty has dealt with you.

Lovelife433:
If AA need to come to Edo to inform you how evil and demonic APC is, then ur brain need to be attended to urgently. No normal human being with functioning Brain ever support APC.

Mrfixitt:
I pity the people of Edo state if they vote that calamity called Okpebolo

Typing:
Rubbish. Another MOU from the MOU Governor. The project he started in 2016 he never finish, na this tiny project he go come finish?

Shame no even allow them post the pictures of the Project

WhizdomXX:
Okay, firstly, Urhobos indigenous to Bayelsa are not few, that's why they currently produced the Deputy governor, Lawrence Egwhrudjakpor. Urhobos are also found in settlements in Ogun state and around Benin city.
Back to the matter, I believe Delta State population is about 8,000,000 ± 1.5 million. Of that, indigenous should be about 80% or >. The Urhobos should number between 35%-38% of that amount. The itsekiri should number between 4-6% of that amount. The issue is that most people increasing the itsekiri number are of Urhobo paternity and itsekiri maternity and they tend to adopt itsekiri culture even when their surname says otherwise. The evidence is there.
Total postulation :
Urhobo- 3,000,000
Itsekiri- 400,000.

Fejoku:
Keeping sentiments aside, we can boldly say that language and ethnic identity disparity between the Itsekiris and Benin means Benin has little claim to the Itsekiris and Warri. There's no argument in the role Benin played in founding Warri monarchy. Whatever royalty Benin seeks to exert on Warri is only to the extent Warri choses to remain subservient to her. Records show that Itsekiri claimed independence as far back as the 1700s from Benin. The relationship was that of a neighbour and an ally.
The Portuguese didn't seek the permission of the Oba of Benin before building a Church in Warri in the 1700s. They got it expressly from the King of Warri.
I mean no disrepect to Benin or history. However, my deductions from extensive studies on Benin history shows that despite her fame and influence around her neighbours, there was no real military might and authority she wielded over areas even considered her vassals. Not in Warri, not in Lagos and not even among the northern Edos who were raided and sold off by islamists from the north. Benin has no record of any serious warfare with other kingdoms around her except the Igalas. Her vassal claims over those territories was mostly nominal as she couldn't defend or send troops to help when they were in danger.
I summarize Benin's rise to popularity to these three points.
1. Benin was undoubtedly more organized than all the kingdoms around her. This made her state functioned better in developing their capital which attracted respect and admiration.
2. The Benin bronze castings definitely did bamboozle anyone who sees them and accord respect to the people of Benin.
3. Lastly, the notion of Benin's powerful charms and spells helped in creating the image of her as being a force to reckon with among her neighbours. Unfortunately, couldn't deliver much when it mattered most.
