*The Book of Edo Chapter 1 vs 1 – 34.*

1. Now, it came to pass, In that period when men chose their rulers, after the reign of Lucky the son of Igbenedion. A certain man arose from the mount of Auchi whose name was Adams the son of Oshomiole.
2. It was he who was the chief of the publicans and a leader of labour. Later he had become Governor over all the province. And Adams abode as governor for eight years in Edo.
3. Behold, during his reign, the man Adams had excelled in speech and uttered many fierce and lofty words.
4. And his oration was honey and wine to the hearts of the people.
5. He ruled the city with a mighty hand and prophesied with a loud voice unto the four walls of the cities; the North, the South, East and West, saying;
6. “Woe unto the godfathers and naysayers and oligarchies, to the men who have exalted themselves over this city as gods over men.
7. “Again I say woe onto them. “For as the day wipeth out the night, I Adams the son of Oshomiole shall flush out their reigns, and seize their loin cloth.
8 “With a heavy rod shall I chase them out, and they shall run. I shall break their brass gates, and set their iron bars asunder. And it was so.
9. That at the end of the eight year, wherefore Oshomiole was to complete his reign, a man called Godwin the son of Obaseki had exalted himself saying, "I will be governor.
10. At the same time, Iyamu the son of Ize had also exalted himself and said i will be governor.
11. Adams had looked up the face of Obaseki and took his hand and kissed it and spake with a voice saying “fear not, for I am with you, oh thy faithful servant, I shall bear you upon my wings, thy mouth shall speak good tidings, and in my stead thou shalt reign.
12. And it came to pass, when the due season for contest came. Adams and Godwin went together in one accord, to the outskirts of the cities to the tabernacles, to the villages, and to every field.
13. Lo, Adams had held his companion's hand saying with a loud voice; “Oh cities of Edo hear ye my counsel, Oh land of my inheritance, bear thy comrade’s witness, for this is the man whom thou shall vote for, a faithful and just man!
14. “Begone from the man Iyamu for he is vain and double faced.
15. Cast not thy votes for him for his mouth is slack.
16 Ye! he has put on the loin cloth of a saint but his heart is darker than widow’s ash.
17. Withdraw your firstborn sons from him, for he dines in the devil’s cult.
18. Withdraw thy daughters, for he is a deformer!
19. And it came to pass that many people had hearkened unto the voice of Adams the son of Oshomiole.
20. And on the day of reckoning more votes had been casted for Godwin than for Iyamu and he had been crowned governor to reign in Adam’s stead.
21. Behold, at about the second year of the reign of Godwin, and like a dream of the night, after the feast of the old year, the new governor and old governor saw discord together.
22. The new Governor had called upon the people saying, ” he wants your gold and Silver and I said nay!!!. No man shall be god over this land, for this is the very cause ye fought for in your reign, and I say it shall stand.
23. And when it came to the ear of Adams the son of Oshomiole, what the new governor had done. He had cried with a loud voice..
24. “A traitor is on the throne!!. therefore shall my eyes not be allowed to behold the ungodly stand in judgement for long.
25.for yes! he has bitten the finger that fed him bread. And his reign must be seized!. Another four years thou will not go!
26. And Godwin the son of obaseki had responded, “I shall go another.
27. On the fourth year of the month and on the day when a new adversary was to be chosen to travail with Obaseki. Iyamu had come forth and said “here I am, I will go. And Adams spake softly saying ” I am with you.
28. Now the people of the city had rent their clothes and thrown forth their voice in desolation saying to the Adams the son of Oshomiole, who shall we go with?.
29. Whom shall we believe? For the Lord God is not the author of confusion, a man whom ye called a leper yesterday, how turneth he now an angel? And the one whom ye called a messiah the day before, how turneth he now leper?.
30. For dignity is not like the sun that comes and goeth. Or like the leopard spots, or like the stars, or the changing seasons. Dignity is like the word of the Lord that endureth forever.
31. And it came to pass after these things, that election was held throughout the province of the ancient city on the nineteenth day in the month of September in the year of corona A.D in the reign of Oba Ewaure 11,
32. that the people of Edo decided that light should defeat darkness and godfatherism casted into the bottomless pit.
33. And, Lo The Lord blessed Godwin the son of Nogheghase, the son of Obaseki with more votes over his contenders from the plain of Benin to Esan and across river Ikpoba unto Owan, Etsako and unto Akoko Edo.
34. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of David, which saith, God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

Kudos to you, Guy.
You have something in you, cultivate it.

Right from onset I said it that the Cabal in the presidency may sacrifice Edo to PDP so they get at Tinubu. They will never give the 2023 ticket to Tinubu. That is the game.

Happy Birthday to our Deaconess. We rejoice with you.

Just hope it go on as meant. Everything about this government and empowerment is scary. We'll surely key in.

Right from the onset,my belief that Obaseki will win is because Wike is by his side.
Wike my man!

.. What I find worrisome is that we still have people voting for APC..

My brother, it's surprising.

Though APC and PDP are same birds of same feathers. I have never want APC ruling in any of the South South states. APC is party of northern goal.
South south and South east must not accommodate them.

The fact is life is a mystery. Trying to understand life itself is confusing.
The only oasis in vast desert of life is Jesus. Even as a Christian, at times you still get confused about life. But just hold on to Him. You will understand it by and by.

OP you make a good outing on this guy FFK. But the sad truth is the Society practically live and thrive on lies. So that you that trying to bring in truth and reality becomes a lone dying voice.

The purpose of all this invitation is nothing but INTIMIDATION. The government just want to intimidate Nigerians, so no one can speak freely against their ill actions.

Truly great football legends are known by their performance for their nations. CR7 is at it. Congrats Ororo.

A good one for Bubu coming from his own people. All those who brought this evil on Nigerians must answer for it, mostly Tinubu.

Tinubu is behind all this. No one should take both side serious.

The fact is Nigeria is heading nowhere with the present situation of things. Imagine this nonsense coming from so-called Learned Colleagues. The north will forever drag us backward.

Fake Award. Ned Nwoko is now the customer of every celebrity organization.

So it's IPOB members Nigerian security strong reach. Boko Haram is having field days in the north, yet they are in the east killing ordinary people.

Make them no cry o.l Said Baba 4+4 must complete. Zombies.

If humans can come up with such grand edifices and pure luxuries, just imagine how Heaven will look like. Let's all strive to make heaven at the end of our lives, by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

To me this is just too sentimental. Nonessential issues. Black is beauty.

Surely Oshiomole mean business against Obaseki. He has got the state police on his side. But having Wike by his side, who knows how to fight fire for fire, Obaseki may still conquer.

Imagine this guy becoming a state Gov. It's in their blood. No regard for a national institution.

Jostoman:
Hope it's not plots to clear all those that know the secret

I thought as well.

There is something about this Buhari that one cannot put his finger on. But time is a revealer, it will come out before or after the end of his tenure.

Mr. Fashola a once respected Gov, has lost his place in Nigerians mind since joining Bubu empty government. Electricity is now a rocket science to him.

Just hope he's a true Christian and pastor. Because it's not easy for a true Child of God to be a politician in Nigeria.

The type of Church you attend determine the type of Christian you will be. Many Christians are confused today because they are attending confused churches. We need the Lord's leading on the church to attend as a believer.

Where are those shouting Corruption during GEJ time, now that you see real corruption, can you please increase the volume.

Respect.

Mehn, Reno finished this woman. She will regret ever taken on him.
Reno, I respect you. A voice in the wilderness.

Just imagine this shit. Is this how Nigeria as a country will continue? It will never be well with Bubu and his supporters.
