Edo no be Lagos now.
That's their saying.
RIP to the dead.

When are you going to grow up and show maturity ?
There is kidnaping nationwide and all you could come up with is such infantile post .
Well , it seems you're still pained that your slave master and his acolytes were humbled by Edo people for standing up to their godfatherism nonsense , remember that Edo No Be Lagos and will never be!
Say this slogan at least 40 times daily. !

iamphenomenal:
As always, I return all glory to God. Today marks four years I buried the addiction of pornography and masturbation, which had plagued my life for many years.

All my journey and challenges, as well as my past success stories are recorded here on Nairaland, on the great platform where I met fellow fighters facing the same struggle - Masturbation Quitting Challenge Thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5223408/masturbation-quitting-challenge-thread

Note: As I've always emphasized, I didn't replace this addiction with fornication (as many people propose as a solution). All through my recovery process till now I've never engaged in sex, as I'm not yet married. Glory to God!

This testimony is to encourage anyone struggling with the same (or any other addiction) that total victory is possible. Trust in God. Engage in accountability. Don't give up!

Till next year. God spare my life.

Long live Nairaland!

Judgement wey dem buy

The judiciary is actually the problem of this country....until Nigerians wake up and start killing these thieving judges, this country won't know progress

Since Dem de sell am, lahor why you no go and buy your own too now for Shuaibu ?

mirabel001:
vdm u r wrong on this....jeremiah didnt force anyone to buy the soap

You're wrong for saying VDM is wrong .
Someone is selling "miracle" water and soap and deceiving gullible christians with fraud and VDM calls him out ...then you say he is wrong. Kindly justify your point on why you think he is wrong...

Matabue1985:
the very dark man is becoming a nuissiance! I use to like him. Somebody please give him a job because he is jobless!

Sadly he may be an embarrassment to you but honestly He has a nuisance value on the Nigerian values system and social engineering. You're probably upset because this now has to do with religion !

vanyvee:
The truth is there must be and iota of faith....no matter how small... Ordinarily there is nothing in that water. He didn't mix any substance like they'll do in drugs, the healing potency is ignited by believe. (I don't want to even say faith) . Ordinarily there was nothing on Jesus garment. A lot of people were touching it and got no reaction until a certain woman with a wierd kind of faith touched...
All that man MIGHT have done on that water is pray on them.....

The truth is that faith is not emperical and just a brief system .
The court does not operate on faith but facts and evidences .

The Pastor wasn't wise at all , he should have ignored VDM and continued his hustle quietly ... Now he has been exposed to the general public and will loose members and still loose in court !

Procashtips:
He sold the so called healing products

Said they're nafdac approved..

This is no longer faith products, so they must work!

Yes O ! Dem must work by fire by force 🔥
The Pastor don enter one chance. The only way out now is to repeat the stunt Elijah did to prove himself or else VDM and Nafdac will have to sue the Rogue !

SIRmanjar:
Doesn't work that way

I am not in support of fake pastors.The person applying it and the one he is applying it on must use it with faith for it to work
If you use it for mockery it won't work.Even if it's juju.You must believe in it

You missed the point sadly .

Let the Man of god prove himself by making the sick who believe heal in a Govt hospital or disability centre with the water,then we will know he is real . VDM has become a nemesis to many.

Guestlander:
Nonsense. Nigeria wasn't at it's best. You just couldn't protest like you are doing right now.
You can even receive a letter bomb and get blown to pieces.
That was your best?

No mind am .
Rosy retrospection.

He did a lot both as a military and civilian president.
From the Green revolution for agriculture to diversifying the economy and introducing Telecommunications, Privatizing the moribund refineries etc .
Let's focus on facts and not be in a hurry to unfairly judge Obj.

EponObi:
See how Baba Iyabo dey talk like say the rot and mess we are experiencing today didn't start with him.

He's talking about Nigeria putting all her eggs in one basket. Lol. What did he do to diversify our economy as a military head of state and the first and a two-term president after 1999? The man even pushed a third term agenda.

Didn't everyone of them since 1960 abandoned agriculture and chased after oil money?

"I believe we made a very, very deadly mistake" - No sir, I believe YOU made a very, very deadly mistake.

When you invited Shell and they told you about the corruption ruining our refineries, sir, what did you do with the power given to you by the people to crush the cabal and rot in our oil industry? You were president for 8 years, what did you do to put the interest of the people as priority? What efforts did you make to change the trajectory of the NNPC for the benefit of the common Nigerians?

What was OBJ's stride in our gas sector? What policies and reforms did he introduce to the gas industry? What were his implementations? Didn't he flare our gas too?

OBJ is saying shit, with all due respect. This is the person some idiots are rallying around because the man they hate so much became president.

Tinubu's bad policies implementions aside, at least for the first time since 1960, we have a brave president who has the political will, muscle, and clout to repurpose our economy. And if he and the APC had allowed GEJ the weakling remove the subsidy in 2011, we would have moved past this pain - Tinubu has a share of this blame too.

There's no going back from here, inshallah. The economy must be rejigged, no matter how pain and strenuous tbe process may be. History will remember Tinubu for not taking the easy route of padding our economy.

Edit: Some idiots are quoting me to say trash. The truth is bitter, so deal with it. Some were saying shit about good economy under OBJ. Lol, even a retard could run our economy like he did because of the oil boom. Go and check how much Nigeria earned with crude oil sales between 1999 and 2006. Then compare with next successive governments.

The crazy oil money during that time was one of the reason they all abandoned other critical areas of the economy for oil. They took the easy way and we are suffering it today. Nigerians just don't think, that's the issue. So far any 10 IQ president can subsidize their pmc and dollars, they think all is well and won't give a f*uck about their own future or that of the next generation.

All you want is government handouts in the form subsidies then you later cry that the country is retrogressing in economic and infrastructural development. One idiot even asked me to mention one third world country that isn't subsidizing their citizens. Oponu, must Nigeria remain a third world country for life, even after 60 years since independent? This is the kind of imbeciles that sell all they have and secure loans to japa to sane countries where nothing is free. Ode!

The country using 96% of our revenue to service loan; shouldn't that be a concern for any right thinking citizen? Instead of asking past government how and why we got to this point, the average Nigeria won't so far you give them subsidies as if they are orphans. And before you say dogshit, OBJ didn't have to borrow because of massive oil revenue. We started borrowing after the oil boom was over. And mind you, we shouldn't have borrowed to the extend where almost all our revenue is used to service loans if OBJ diversified our economy from the start with massive influx of income Nigeria earn during his time. He should have been the person to lay our economic blueprint and like I've said, he took the easy route and avoided the hard work.

Zero agriculture, terrible gas economy, no other economy sector, zero manufacturing + production just subsidies, vibes and inshallah plus crazy level of importation, and you, OBJ, is now complaining that our youth are redundant. Thunder fire you, sir.

If Tunibu decides to remove the subsidy, it would make him seem like the most incompetent president ever. But I know how brave Tunibu is, and I believe no amount of criticism will stop him from pushing Nigeria forward. Thanks.

Removing the subsidy is their main demand because the people behind this protest are the ones benefiting from it, and they want it back to drain Nigeria even more.

This decision is the right move to improve Nigeria. We've already seen how he increased the allocation by 41%. I can't understand what these people are thinking when they say Timangu is on the wrong path.

To make Nigeria better, everyone needs to make sacrifices. What you eat is your responsibility than the government's. Let that really sink in.

Eureka !
Alas , you've seen the light you refused to see during GEJ s tenure ...
Is God not wonderful?

E dey talk sense !

Wettoid123:
Look at the road inside town in benin city looking too bad I thought they said that governor has tarred everywhere in benin city.

Is Benin City the only part of Edo state ?

muykem:
See road in the capital city.

Can you prove that the picture was taken in the Capital city ?

Palliative video...
Don't fall for it

masterfactor:
They should shoot any Igbo person on sight who wants to destroy Lagos, what happened in 2020 cannot be allowed to repeat itself. If Igbo people person must protest, let them go to the east, their beloved Simon ekpa will welcome them.

May God heal and forgive you for this comment .
A greater Nigeria is all the want .

May God heal Nigeria too!

Kingosytex:
Fools whose welfare and well-being are being protested for are against those who are actually trying to do so
It seems these force guys buy fuel, food, and other things at different prices.
Naija funny shaa...

You can't call them fools
.. they're in a tighter corner than you think ! They must either respect orders from above or face tribunal for mutiny/ refusing to follow orders ...

TimeManager:
In 2012, SS and SE didn't join in the protest. In 2020, North didn't join in the protest. In 2024, what's good for the goose is sauce for the gander.

-Kiss the truth!

LoL...You Mean in 2012 Adams Oshiomole , Rotimi Amaechi, and others were from the North by then ?
LoL .
Dis truth you're kissing abi missing so...well the internet doesn't forget so you may want to crosscheck

TimeManager:
GEJ militarized (sent army to) Ojota in 2012. Kid, read your history.

-Kiss the truth!

You can be more Truthful though ...The fuel subsidy protest at Ojota during GEJs time went on peacefully until some miscreants started hijacking and destroying...that's when the Army was brought in . This time around the protest hasn't even started and all of a sudden the Army is out ...

You don't kiss part of the truth ...you embrace and kiss the entire truth!

ALTIARA:
It can never be developed as Lagos. Ure still proud about your backward state. What will Iyaloja gain with a minority tribe? U are not politically important neither are u economically vital. It's fake news!

And you're proud about your forward bondage ?
Edo no be Lagos...how many times Dem go tell una?

Tjra:
You forgot to include "VS PitObi"

Is Olumide Apkata his party's candidate not contesting again?

Abi una don abandon am?

Why are some of you so pained and delusional about Peter Obi ?
What's with this your e OCD?

Chinkoalhaji34:
Toh

It's interesting how some folks are quick to point fingers. Maybe if we focus on building rather than tearing down, we'd see real progress. Tinubu has a vision, and it's time we support it instead of letting distractions take center stage!

But did GEJ not have a vision back then?
Or even Pa Buhari?
How come you found your voice now

yommygift15:
So Edo is Now LAGOS
Politics sha!

Edo no be Lagos and will never be!

Funflipper:
Ambrose Ali and Samuel Ogbemudia were governors of the defunct Bendel State. We are talking about Edo State which was created in 1991.

And Edo wasn't part of Bendel ? Or the core of it ? Dey play !

Indispensable85:
The first two names were never governors of edo state.

It would have been better not to post this than confirm your indomine status !

blacknp:
Judas.

He wasn't Judas when he left APC and fought his brother Oshiomole to help Obaseki back then . Now he has left PDP he is Judas ... continue?

Efuaye:
I thought Osho said there was no room to rehabilitate failed PDP politicians in APC.

Believe any politician at your own peril .
There is an addage in bini that translates to " all offsprings of a snake are snakes "
And that's what politicians are !

mastermaestro:
What are his hopes now? Inherit Oshiomhole's senatorial seat someday, fight to become governor after eight years, return to the house of assembly, or get a fed appointment through Oshiomhole's influence?

Choosing to fight Oshiomhole openly was a huge mistake. A choleric like Oshiomhole will never trust him again. Philip is going to have to pave his own political path to the top alone onward.

No hopes....his aim was to mess Obaseki up and he has achieved it already...
As we speak , even LP as a party is stronger than PDP in Edo State , Shaibu left with his loyalists and the PDP legacy group already ...these were the grassroots PDP and I doubt of Obaseki can use his office technocrat approach on the field / streets.
It will take God's grace for Asue to pull through as we speak . Thanks to Obaseki s high-handedness!

Afonjah:
I stand with Obaseki in his valiant efforts to restore the historic ugliness of Edo men.

'Babyfaced' Philip Shaibu is an anomaly that defies this rich culture and must be exterminated to maintain status quo.


Gbam.

May God forgive and heal you . Amen 🙏

WizardOfNG:
You shame yourself with your username that shows you are not smart let alone be deemed so concerning political matters.

Is Obi behaving like an emotionally intelligent politician ready to lead very diverse people from over 400 ethnic groups or is he acting like a petty, spiteful, vindictive and myopic character most knowledgeable folks would insist is far from President material?

Yes He is!
