they should stop paying governors security votes, and money they can spend any how without auditing and running into billions. Even dangote doesn't go about giving his personal millions out like that except for medical or scholarship purposes, if governors are not buying cars and houses for actresses they are gifting rappers money enough to pay gratuity of 3 pensioners, yet all this is done with China loan

Thenextgen:

That's the problem here. why can't the government create a foundation and all. If its like that most people will just sit down lie back and wait to be picked up by this so called foundation. Therefore reiterating what Buhari said about Nigerians being lazy. That disabled dude could have just decided to stay on the streets and wait for a so-called Samaritan to help him. But he didn't... You don't have to wait for the govt before you make the change since they have failed us

mrdan:
The donations are good. but does it have to end with donating to 1 person there then another person somewhere, why can't they create a foundation or such that would help others rather than just 1 person out of many that need the help.

SIMPLYkush:
What good has a disabled man got? he should be taken to the IDP camp

b0rn2fuck:
At least he tried spending stolen fund on people rather than walloping them within themselves and family

Iamicekid:
I hope the money will be given to him sha, cause all this politicians will just want to use him for fame for the main time and keep posting him they will give him the money till they don’t need him anymore

Edo state disabled rapper, popularly known as Razaly who wowed the audience and the Government of Edo state, was reportedly given #10million by the Executive Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki who also pledged to help him grow in his music career at the Alaghodaro 2018 Concert.
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said plans are in the works for a 30-hectare Television Village in Okhoro axis of Benin City, which will attract big-ticket investments from Nollywood, Nigeria’s booming movie industry.

The governor also said that the sum of N250 million will be allocated to boost the creative industry in the state's 2019 budget, noting that his administration is committed to creating room for youths to find expression in productive ventures in the state.

The governor disclosed this during the Youth Concert organised as part of activities marking his administration's second-anniversary celebration in Benin City, on Friday night.

He said his administration prioritises entertainment and creativity as a veritable tool for job creation for youths, adding, "We have been trying to fix roads, health care and education sectors over the past two years. We want to build an entertainment hub. We have a 30-hectare premises in the Okhoro axis of the state for this purpose and it will have investments from Nollywood.

"We want to give youths jobs and entertainment. There is hope for talented youths because we have artistes from the state, who are succeeding and making waves in the entertainment industry," Obaseki said.

The governor who was elated by the performance of local and international artistes at the concert, donated N10 million to a physically challenged artiste named 'Kasali' to enable him establish his record label.

"My administration will support talents. We want the world to know that there is ability in disability. The N10 million is to enable him establish his label and promote his music," the governor said.

He said a team would be assembled to properly organise the creative industry in the state, adding that the committee will be made up of the Commissioner for Arts, Culture, Tourism and Diaspora Affairs as well as local artistes in the state.

He added that his administration was working to get an alternate source of power supply in the state to drive development, noting that steady power supply was needed to grow the economy, including the entertainment industry.

"Electricity has been our problem and we are solving it. We say No to Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC), we will have our own electricity company in Edo before the celebration of my administration's third year anniversary," the governor assured.

Here’s a photos of the boy’s performance;

Politicians are funny.

Well, it is the luck of the rapper.

toyetade:

What a waste of government money. Is that guy the only disable person in the state. So all disable should become rappers now to get N10m

Beware of politician's goodwill, its normally used as a decoy to fraud and loot

Of course since the governor is Edo, you all must find something negative to say.
Even if Obaseki had visited and showed goodwill to an orphanage, because he’s Edo, you all would have been condemning him for not visiting the elderly and be looking for something to say.
If it was from the other 35 states, you all would be full of praise
God help you all with your tribalism
Shame on the Nigerian bloggers and media and whoever responsible for all of this

mrdan:


Bros is it that you have comprehension problem or don't understand what i wrote up there or you are seeing double.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Obaseki I appreciate, though is not like is well talented but to help is divine

Favor99:

Your comments that I quoted earlier are very very consistent with comments made on any thread about any Edo person, especially on positive or neutral threads about any Edo politician or anyone Edo

People always draw and extract something negative out of a positive and always look to find fault
