Where should I start?

Let .e start from Edo state because of my respect for the throne of the Oba, Oba gha to kpaeo !!!

It was a battle of epic proportions, when Obaseki tried to recontest his gubernatorial election and Oshiomole stood in his way, Obaseki took his godfather up on a wrestling match, floored his master and pinned him down on the ground till he was defeated.

Obaseki not only won the election but got Oshiomole fired from APC chairmanship and expelled from the party. Tinubu was disgraced and booed out of the state, some boys pursued him and quietly stamped "Edo no be Lagos" at the back of his clothes as he was sneaking out of the airport.

Lagos story

This story is very long, but surprisingly short. One man has taken custody of the wished and aspirations of the whole state, hiring and firing state governors as he likes, he can put a governor in the state and remove him in the evening.

Ambode tried to go against him and was kicked so hard that he landed in the middle of the lagoon. Sanwo-Olu has been respecting himself, answering "yessar" to every command. Lagos could have been richer than US and UK combined if not for one man sitting and farming on their destiny.

God fathers should go and learn what democracy is. Democracy is a situation where elected representatives owe loyalty only to the people and to no one else. Our ignorance is making us not to know this, without which democracy would be a big lie.

If you allow your entitlement mindset to make you think that a governor should submit to you in every way you want, then you are indirectly telling us that you rigged the election, that the people did not vote your claimed godson, that you (not the people) are the one who put the Governor there.

But our people have become so oppressed that they are now victims of Stockholm Syndrome. They now think they are slaves, when they are the masters.

You're very correct, my worry is that there are regions in this country where any attempt to resist godfathers is seen as rebellion. They support for godfathers to run their states, making a rubbish of their sitting elected governors and making the people of the state poor.

Poverty, ignorance, and lack of principle is the cause. They have slave spirits in them.

Merry Christmas folks.

Merry Christmas to the godfathers or godsons?
