That's why m considering other cities to start small because in asaba you need to open different or almost the same standard of tailoring shops before you can be noticed in the field of fashion over there...
Their standard is just very high that's all

Ok na I understand why you don't want to live in Asaba but why don't you try Warri or Benin City?

Promzwealth:
I would love to....
But I don't have 2m naira or more to start a business now....
Unless you can be of help.

A joining of a thousand miles begin with a step.
The money u are asking for is too big for a start, why don't you start very small and believe God to uplift you.

..



Many people has been saying this..
M just confused oo
.plan B..
Asaba
Asaba is good bu costly, nd starting anything requires huge amount of capital..
Enugu..
Enugu is good as well but there is no commercial market close for buying of fabrics nd other necessary things....
M just confused ooo
Really don't wanna stay in aba

My candid advise is that you relocate to Asaba. Yes, it is very expensive but the proximity to Onitsha will helps your business you want to venture into.

Kerosine Governor at work.

Niger Delta Militants, Agbekoya boys and Eastern Security Network should get prepared because as the Nation called Nigeria suffereth violence only the violent taketh it by force.
We shall not fold our arms and watch this heartless people kills in our territories.
It will not happen.

....

Bro do you stay there?

Don't go to Uyo. It's only beautiful with major roads well tarred, apart from that there's nothing special about the place.
Business Wise, that place is a no go area.

Buhari is a man send from hell to torment Nigerians .......
Nothing good ever comes out from Him.
In 1983 - 1985, when he was the military Head of state, he was a tormentor and now civilian president he continues from where stopped.
May God deliver � from this heartless and clueless government.

All thanks to General Buhari

Nigeria is finished oooo. Buhari is dead.

I can't remember the last time we saw such road in Edo State.

It was during the time of Adams Oshiomhole as Governor of the state that we saw something like this but this present one is just a failure.

WesternOligarch:
How is Benin and your local govt chairman oba ewure.

How is your dirty and rusty Ile-Ife and your Waka about Ooni of Ife

The country is on fire.
Restructuring is the way forward.

O Lord my God, what's the House of God turning into?

Deadlytruth:
Per the bolded, If you can recall, that line was actually used to campaign against General Charles Airhiavbare in 2012 Edo guber election and those who tried to use it cited the tenures of Oyegun and Lucky Igbinedion to substantiate it. However some of us quickly countered that narrative by citing Ogbemudia's administration. But with the way things are going in the hands of the current incumbent, those in that school of thought might have gotten a third example for their claim while those of opposing view still have only Ogbemudia as counter example.
Some of the roads he constructed in my own LGA already have so many failed portions as against Oshiomhole's own that have remained totally intact even though they are almost 4 years older and carry heavier traffic.
As per the Edo Best thing: one would have expected that sequel to Oshiomhole's comprehensive renovation of nearly all the public primary and secondary schools across the state, Obaseki should have complemented those efforts by focusing on employing teachers into these schools in the last four years but till today most of the schools are being run by PTAs and Old boys and Old girls Associations in terms of teachers recruitment and payment of their salaries. This leaves one wondering what the whole essence of Edo Best actually is. Moreover he has been sponsoring vacancy adverts claiming that he is trying to bring in professional handlers and high quality teachers nto the education sector of the state as if such will not demand heavier financial burden than the normal teachers recruitment he has refused to do for more than four years now.
The Benin City nightlife ceasure issue is another failure which has defined his administration since inception.
Just yesterday he began to talk about fashioning out a 30 year development plan for the state. Apart from the mere rhetorics value of this, fashioning out a development plan without any cabinet to provide inputs is at best comical.
In all if Obaseki really ends up not being what was bargained for, the blame will be on Oshiomhole who imposed him on the party in 2016 against all wise counsels from well-meaning Edo State stakeholders

My brother let us leave everything for God and also be hopeful that before his last 4 years come to an end, he will bring different approach to his style governance.

Deadlytruth:
You just hit the nail very hard on the head with the bolded. There is no sense in recording lesser and lesser IGR year in year out after claiming to have purportedly blocked the godfathers, tigers and lions from access to the state's revenue. Even his cabinet members, he starves them of decent wages all in the name of cutting governance cost and curbing waste yet all these don't translate to any meaningful increase in the yearly budget. In infrastructure his projects are tokenism in nature.It is really difficult to understand how the man spends revenues and what exactly he spends it on. In his 2017 budget he set aside N4bn for the executive arm of the state government out of the N150 bn total but his political appointees kept on complaining of being paid indecent and ridiculous wages. Right now he has been running a government without a cabinet for the past six months hence not spending anything on salaries of cabinet. The whole thing about Edo State revenue and visible use of it is has been shrouded in mystery under his tenure.

You are truly reading my mind. My only fear is that in Edo state now, there is already a perception that whenever a Bini man (Edo south) takes over the reigned of leadership in Edo state, the state always moved backward and I am beginning to think that way too.
The early Gov. Obaseki sit up, the better for him because right now most of the roads he is constructing are substandard and may not likely stand the test of time. The Edo Best his bragging about is a total failure because most of the schools in Edo don't have enough teachers.
Night life in Benin City is gone because no street lights to make the capital visible at night.
The water fountain built by Oshiomhole has been destroyed by his administration.
Sometimes, I wish if the Constitution will allow Oshiomhole to come back to office again and I personally vote for Him.
I just pray that God helps us oooo because this is not what we bargained for.

Deadlytruth:
I thought I alone noticed it. It is so embarrassing to see that Edo has been consistently slipping on the IGR table since Obaseki took over. Before he came on board Edo was at position six with figures that were even threatening to displace the states on positions 4 and 5. But today it has fallen so low to position 11 with states like Anambra and Ogun now trumping it comfortably while other states currently below it are warming up to further subdue it to even lower positions in the next IGR rating to come after this. It is very disturbing a trend which makes nonsense of the purported fight against godfathers allegedly asking for state resources to be shared to them.

My brother, I am just tired of him. If as at the time he took over from oshiomhole 4 and half years ago, the state IGR was around 25 to 26 billion naira, then by now after almost 5 years in office, it should be around 36 or 37 billion naira.
I am so shocked because it was because of this reason that he droved the likes of Nomoreless and Kabaka away. So for me, the increased in IGR, ought to reflect in the year on year rating by NBS.
The same thing we are also experience interms of infrastructures in the state.
My question now is: "what is he doing with all the money, he is receiving as allocation?

I'm highly disappointed with the performance of Edo state.
Obaseki needs to sit up and provide the dividends of democracy to the people. The 2020 report of igr only shows that Obaseki only achievement is fighting God father's that brought Him to power.

Zetty177x:
God bless u for the truth. .. I have Uncles and aunts who relocated back to Edo and they are doing well. Obaseki made a law against land grabbing and made c of o easy to obtain. Why are these people always against the man.

My Oga his administration is nothing to write home about. Whenever it rains in Benin City, the state is always unmotorable.
Infact, he is a collosal failure.

Vultron101:
Bloody Liar Edo State that I live in Edo State that no street light is functioning as at now it is only 10% of the roads in Edo that are motor able, all the project Oshiomhole started has been abandoned by him all the project we are still seeing I Edo today were the ones done by Oshiomhole. I believe you were paid by a politician to keep hyping Obaseki in every social media. Anybody that think am lying should visit Edo State Edo state is one of the Ugliest, dirtiest and undeveloped state in the Entire South South. Na Thunder go fire your head for this lie wey you dey talk here fool. A normal human that stay in Edo State will rate Obaseki performance below 4/10 not social media hypers like you.

Well said my dear. The man is a complete failure. Mtcheeeeew!

Jeux:
Maybe he did something in ewato in particular but obaseki’s presence in edo central is zero, I don’t know how you got your 8, what he does is cosmetic expansion and redressing of the works done by the previous administration, no major project initiated by his administration has seen the light of the day, if he had continued the urbanization drive of Benin city by the previous administration Benin city would have been a better city now. Why 8 when there’s no major road project, no single flyover despite the increasing vehicular traffic in Benin metropolis, important adjourning roads like the temboga and ewa road are left unattended to, security is zero, if an obaseki can get 8 then how about the likes of Zulum and Umahi who in the normal sense despite their strides are not even supposed to pass 6, what little income are you talking about ? When edo receives the 8th highest federal allocation among 36 states. I would rate obaseki In fairness 3/10

U have hit the nail on d head.
I don't like obaseki administration at all.

hustla:
Ogun State

1/10

Terrible governor

Same as this new Lagos governor, 2/10

Useless Governor..... Nothing to show for almost 2 years now. Mtcheeeeew

Ogungbemi01:
The edict or proposed edict as we call it here was horridly gazetted by ON Rewane and few others without consulting Itsekiri people because they have a particular person in mind that they want to make Olu of Warri. They used it to narrow the search to the particular person they had in mind and arrogated so much powers to he Rewane who was the then Ologbosere. We have reviewed the document and discovered that it is self serving and not in the interest of Itsekiri people. We have trashed the edict and that is final. Section 4 of the edict is the singular reason we trashed the edict. It is very insultive to our parent tribe. We are speaking a Yoruboid language and the said Ginuwa is from the lineage of Oramiyan. Ginuwa himself spoke Yoruboid language which shows that he is Yoruba.

And you think that the best way to do it, is to sit down and according to you, trash the edict, don't you think that before that is done the Ologbotsere ought to be brief before any action(s) can be taken?

Boss which of the Bini are you from?

We don't call river 'Eze' in Bini
Maybe you wanted to write Ede sha

Amen is water, why eze, I may not get d spelling correctly is river.

My dear, move ahead with your life. We used to say in my Bini dialect that "Eze ma giomwan la, u Lai we regbe" simply translated in Pidgin English: "if river nor let u cross, u cross/pass ham come back". Forget about her and move ahead.

Why can't most Nigerians write properly?

They is no problem man. Thank you for the correction(s).
Promise to be careful next time.

We will ensure that this military personnel (soldier) meet their Waterloo if they dare us in our region.
We are battle ready for them.
Fire for fire. We will not surrender

All because he was looking for Presidency as at that time, this slow poison (Buhari) attended church service, the first time in his entire life in 2015, probably to to douse the tention that if he become president, he will islamised the country.
Fast forward to 2021 nothing has change, his government seem to be the worst we have ever see since the administration of His brother Major General Sani Abacha (1993 - 1998).
If Nigerians had leasten not to vote this evil and incompetent Man as President, we wouldn't have been where we are today.
God deliver Nigeria.

Story to learn: "be contended with what you have". Awoof dey push Belle. Short cut in life doesn't pay, it only gives short term success and later ends in sorrow.

What goes around comes around. He (IG) step on toes and got burnt.
It is now time for the southern part of Nigeria to turn the table against their northern brothers since Buhari refused to be sincere with appointments.
It is a general saying that "you don't beat a child and expect him not to cry".
