how did someone who could not read his own budget figures which was in naira come up with $1b figure?

Governors are not yet ready to deal with cultist. Any cultist caught, speedily try and then and execute them, have a special court for them, convert their assets to government properties and ensure they have no funding. But if you eliminate cultism who rigs election for the politicians?

Ruke1991:
Edo state "cult economy" is worth $1 billion? I don't believe

That is why cultism is appealing in that. State.

Everyone wants to join.

That is their most lucrative industry.

chatinent:
When we have Naira, why is Nigeria still using dollars for emphasis?

I think you should read it again, your question is on tje report

WHITELIGHTER:
Please Please
Have you been to Benin since APC took over?
This is a cult govt surrounded by Cult leaders in Shaibu, Kabaka, Ebo Stone, NML, and even the deputy governor. All Okpe is doing is shalaye for media consumption.

Benin is an eyesore right now, far worse than Igbenedion's tenure.

Really? But a very quick and honest question though. Why is cultism so rooted in Edo State? It's almost a culture and way of life.

Who teach this one billion


Thought they say he nor sabi billion during budget presentation

Mr. Governor this figure is easy to call unlike the naira equivalent.

This guy too dey lie, typical of APC members

see his mouth like $1b
Let him put it down as a written sentence

Feldie:
Really? I would've thought it would have something to do with the fact that there are no roads here. You are much more likely to drive or walk into a ditch filled with muddy water in the middle of the road in broad daylight than to run into cultists fighting or whatever they do

Cultism and bad road and not mutually exclusive. Both must be tackled, don’t distract us

it's easy to blame the people for cultism while the government abdicate themselves of their duty to build infrastructure. I have lived in Edo all my life and have never experienced any cultist disturbances. I'm sure it's the same for over 90% of the people here but we've suffered from decrepit infrastructure. This is similar to Ortom failing to pay salaries and then blaming Fulani herdsmen

And how was the figure arrived at?

The number of people who are not cultists in benin no plenty.
But it has spread it's tentacles.


Who dey roast corn now na cultist
Mechanic O
Welder O


Them go wear earrings like man up and down.

I wonder what they see in it

Ruke1991:

Very true...they lead

See lamba from the primary 6 governor

OluwaBlessyn:
Adonbilivit😂😂😂

$1bn

Money na water true true😂😂😂

How much does a life worth
?

This man that was confused during his budget presentation and doesn't know his budget figures is talking about $1b, does he understand what a billion dollar means? Does he know dollar rate to naira? "Mr is confusing me" Okphebolo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How much is the annual state budget for the first place ?

Ruke1991:
Edo state "cult economy" is worth $1 billion? I don't believe

That money has been diverted already . It’s the money for his reelection and to settle Oshiomole

dem say d man nor know money. Na 1 billion naira he be wan write.

Still it does not absolve the cultism movement rising and killing able youth in our community.
I stayed in Edo for six year and schooled in Uniben, almost every now and then, cultist activities every seconds

Bad road need to be fixed as well but it is not a requirement for fighting cultism

Open ministry of Cultism Edo State. Cultism na Nysc programme for edo and delta youths, them carry am for head.

Noted my Governor

Are you sure this guy knows what is $1b? If in simple term, he found it difficult to pronounce a common billion naira in his last budget presentation, how could he know how to pronounce $1b dollar. One needed to see the drama that caught people's attention on the day of that presentation

Ironfaceman:
What a sad story. Cultist (black ax) can not stand up to herdsmen nor Bandits but they can kill innocent defenceless people


God will continue to punish all cultist. All those cult boys and girls in ekpoma they will meet their end.

I'm glad you were wise to add " cult girls " too. Because, most people who aren't in the know aren't aware that the girls are deep in it, too, and provide mapping Intel for their male members, as well as carry out assassinations of rival unsuspecting boys, via food or drink poisoning, or outright stabbing after s€×.

Wicked lots. Especially bellas.

...but is the governor, himself, free from frat affiliation? I thought I once read comments from people saying one couldn't become a governor in Edo if they weren't a frat member. Good luck to him with his crusade against them. It's still the youths who will ruin his efforts to sanitize the state in that regard. 🤷 And they want to rule tomorrow. The future belongs to the youths my ars€!

i must talk, to be honest how can a full grown up man, useless father, uncle, brother that portrait himself as MR GOVERNOR, YOU CAN LIE, how can a state spend 1 billion dollar on cult matter,
