This is the same Ize-Iyamu who has been and still is Lucky Igbinedion right hand man fraternizing with Oshiomhole.

Now we are learning daily who the comrade governor really is and what he stands for.

PS; also today it was revealed that in one year Oshiomhole has amassed a whopping 18 BILLION NAIRA debt; he met 4.4 BILLION NAIRA debt when he came into office. You do the maths. What happened to all the internally generated revenue and federal oil allocation? Who truely is Oshimhole? What does he want from Edo state? Has the people not suffered enough from the misrule of PDP? These events show that his government is lucky igbinedions PDP reincarnated to further impoverish the masses.

Nigerian taxpayer should foot the bill. But we all know how usless african governments are.

Some even say if I go to Nigeria? Where will I start from and all that.

A comment on the original link (http://www.lifeinbiglondon.com/2009/11/27/my-mother-in-law-is-driving-me-nuts) says it best. .

Let me state categorically here that the problem is not with “Mothers in law”….the problem is with WOMEN generally…, why do wives complain that mothers in law are mean and wicked? why do wives also complain that Men are tied to their Mothers’ apron string…, at the end of the day, these wives turn into Mothers and one day into Mothers in law and the circle continues….I think the nature of Women generally is the bottom line here…WOMEN WANT TO BE IN CONTROL all the time…, of their children, husband, church, country, workplace and when they see another woman around, they become jealous, over-protective, competitive and disgruntled.
One of the best response so far.
Women generally feel insecure and become anxious and subsequently passively aggressive when they see a rival or potential one to their "prized possessions".
This stigmatization of mum-inlaw is not helped by the hysteria fanned by nollywood propaganda aka movies.

When clowns like Wily Wily ,OvieE and Beaf will always bring tribalistic sentiments into any discussion will always blame it on the North or Islam.

What these retarded and naive women attacking mothers don't understand is that a man's treatment of his mother is a good indication of how he will treat his partner. Of course, you don't want a man who allows his mother mistreat his wife but some of the hate spewed towards mothers here is ridiculous.

These same narrow-minded vermins will one day be mothers in law. Shame on you ugly and bone-headed Naija women.

PoliticsTony Blair Faces War Inquiry by snowdrops(op): 9:16am On Jan 29, 2010
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jan/29/tony-blair-iraq-war-inquiry

Tony Blair arrived early to give evidence to the Iraq inquiry today in a long-awaited appearance that is expected to shed some light on the most controversial decision of his premiership.

The former prime minister avoided protesters by entering the inquiry venue through a cordoned-off rear entrance at about 7.30am, two hours before the hearing was due to begin.

Sir John Chilcot and the four other members of the inquiry will question the former prime minister for six hours today at the QE2 centre in London, where police have mounted a large security operation ahead of the protests being planned by anti-war campaigners.

Blair has always defended his decision to send British troops to join the American-led invasion in 2003 and today he is expected to strongly assert that he acted in good faith and that the war brought benefits to the people of Iraq.

But he is likely to face tough questioning about the events leading up to invasion, and in particular about the allegation that he was giving private assurances to the US president, George Bush, about Britain's willingness to go to war that contradicted what he was telling parliament and the public in the months leading up to the war about no decisions having been taken.

Blair resisted calls for a public inquiry into Iraq while he was in office and some Labour figures believe that the party's electoral prospects could be damaged by the evidence that has been emerging since Chilcot started taking evidence in November last year.

Gordon Brown originally wanted the inquiry to sit in private when he set it up, but Chilcot decided that almost all evidence should be heard in public.

The inquiry held a ballot for today's hearing, which will start at 9.30am, and more than 3,000 people applied. There are 60 seats in the room where Blair is giving evidence, and another 700 seats in the QE2 centre where people can watch the proceedings on a screen, but all the places have been allocated, and the inquiry has asked anyone without a ticket to stay away.

The inquiry has heard that Blair started preparing for war in 2002, and he will be asked about the private assurances he gave to Bush, particularly at a meeting they held at Crawford in Texas in April 2002 and in a series of private letters he sent to the US president later that year.

Sir Christopher Meyer, the US ambassador to Washington at the time, told the inquiry last year that he still did not know "what degree of convergence was, if you like, signed in blood, at the Crawford ranch".

Blair justified the decision to go to war on the grounds that he wanted to disarm Iraq and force it to comply with the conditions imposed by UN resolutions. But Lord Turnbull, the cabinet secretary at the time of the war, told the inquiry that he thought Blair was originally a believer in "regime change" and he urged the inquiry to question Blair about this closely.

Turnbull said he was surprised by the interview Blair gave to Fern Britton last year in which he said that he would still have thought it right to remove Saddam Hussein, even if he had known Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.

Turnbull said the inquiry should question Blair about the comment on the grounds that it appeared to contradict what he said about disarmament being the reason for the war.

Blair will also be questioned about the dossier published in September 2002 about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

Chilcot himself has suggested that it was wrong for Blair to say in the foreword to the document that the intelligence about Iraq's WMD was "beyond doubt", and other members of the inquiry have suggested that there was no evidence to support Blair's claim that the WMD threat from Iraq was "growing".

The inquiry will want to know why Blair did not allow the military to start buying the equipment it needed for war at an early stage. Geoff Hoon, defence secretary at the time, told the inquiry that Blair did not want this work to begin too soon because it would undermine his attempts to get an agreement at the UN.

Blair will also be asked about the planning for postwar Iraq. The inquiry has heard complaints from many witnesses about the fact that Britain and the US did not prepare properly for the aftermath and, although Blair raised concerns about this with Bush, the evidence suggests that his warnings were ignored.

PoliticsNigerian President To Return 'soon', Vice President Says by snowdrops(op): 9:55pm On Jan 28, 2010
ABUJA — Nigeria's ailing President Umaru Yar'Adua, in Saudi Arabia for more than two months for treatment for an acute heart condition, will return soon, Vice President Goodluck Jonathan said Thursday.

At a ceremony to receive letters of credence from four new ambassadors, Jonathan thanked them "for their concern over the health of President Umaru Yar'Adua and assured them that the president would soon be back in the country," his office said in a statement.

The statement, however, did not indicate exactly when Yar'Adua, who left the country on November 23, would return.

Yar'Adua's prolonged absence has caused a "period of uncertainty" in top oil producer Nigeria, the United States and European Union said Thursday in a joint statement.

Timeline: Nigeria in crisis over ailing president

"Nigeria is going through a period of uncertainty because of the prolonged illness of President Musa Umaru Yar?Adua," said the statement by the United States, European Union, Britain and France.

A Nigerian federal high court will on Friday rule on a suit filed by top Nigerian lawyers seeking an order for Yar'Adua to hand full powers to Jonathan until his return.

The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday urged Yar'Adua to take steps to transfer power to his deputy in accordance with the country's constitution.

But the government the same day said that Yar'Adua was fit to stay in office despite being abroad for more than two months for treatment.

"The president is not incapable of discharging the functions of his office," the cabinet said in a terse statement in response to a High Court order last Friday giving it 14 days to make a declaration on the president's fitness to govern Africa's most populous state.

A group of former Nigerian leaders and elder statesmen on Thursday in Abuja agreed with the Senate and said it was necessary for Yar'Adua to communicate his medical vacation to the parliament to enable his deputy act in his absence.

"It is important to resolve this issue by inviting the president to formally issue the necessary communication that will enable the vice president to be acting president," said the group in a letter signed on its behalf by former head of state General Yakubu Gowon.

Other members of the group, who presented the letter in Abuja Thursday to Jonathan and the heads of the two chambers of parliament, are Shehu Shagari (1979-83) and Ernest Shonekan (1993) -- both ex-civilian leaders.

Former vice president Alex Ekwueme, ex-chief justices of the federation Mohammed Uwais, Alfa Belgore and Idris Kutigi, as well as former army chief General Theophilus Danjuma, were also part of the delegation.

The group said that the letter was written "following a critical review of the general political situation of the country in the recent past but more especially since the illness of the President and his prolonged absence."

Pressure has been piling up in recent weeks for Yar'Adua to step aside. Even his own mentor and predecessor Olusegun Obasanjo has suggested he resigns.

Critics have called for Yar'Adua to step down, or failing that, for the cabinet to replace him on the grounds that his lengthy absence from the helm of Africa's second-biggest oil exporter demonstrates an "incapacity" to perform his functions.
