God please comfort these families, the pain is too much to bear. A truly trying time in our lives as a nation.

True, I was to take Sunday school class by 8am and I discovered pastor wasn't rounding up knowing fully well that he is time conscious, when he eventually finished, I was to say time is far spent only to look up at the Church clock and discovered it was then it reached 8 while mine was already 12mins past 8. So I noticed it.

Hmmmn! And OP is stressing it as if they don't produce first class graduate in OAU or their own first class graduates are lesser to some other Universities in Nigeria. Is it not thesame school that produces over 100 first class graduates in the year 2014.

So many schools in Nigeria are with few departments that never produce first class since inception. No point making it looks like OAU is different or what is happening in OAU doesn't exist in other schools.

It's a verifiable fact that Geology and Political science Departments in Nigerian Universities hardly produce first class graduate and not peculiar to OAU alone.

Very correct, political science answers are too complex to get an A in all course. Most answer takes debate format and very technical.

Waste of time and money. Let them try it.

No sensible person would have watched that debate and wished this man on that state. No way.

Exactly, that debate was an eye opening that pastor got nothing to offer when asked how he intend to fund his simple agenda.

You are right, also the debate. Obaseki did well.
uote author=Observinho post=94125632]The long awaited Edo 2020 is all but over. The coast is clear, and the battle has virtually been lost and won.
With all the local government results, and the overall winner already announced by the INEC, it is clear that PDP has had the day.
A lot of people would have thought that APC could have had their way by hook or crook, but alas, the will of the people prevailed in what is arguably one of the freest and fairest elections so far conducted in the history of the country.
However, there are lessons to be learnt from the whole of this, especially for the APC as they re-strategize for subsequent elections. There are obviously a number of things they did wrong which saw them loose to PDP. Here is a list of them.
1. Poor governance: From hike in fuel price and every other commodity in the market, to increase in tax rate and electricity tariffs, to hike in the level of insecurity; it is clear that people are not having it easy with the present administration. All the promises on which this party rode to victory have been all but mere paper slogans. Thus, a lot of people who were APC loyalists became too disenchanted to vote, and some even had to switch party to PDP.
2. Making Governor Ganduje the Campaign Chairman for the Party: He who comes to equity they say, must come with clean hands. The president Muhammadu Buhari rode on the back of ‘integrity’ when he was voted into power in 2015. Everyone wanted a change for the better, a politician without a tag of corruption to his name. Alas, the president is apparently not different from the others. He not only associated himself with a lot of corrupt politicians, he seemed to condone them and fraternize with them, sending the wrong signals to the disappointed masses. Thus, when Ganduje’s bribery video scandal trended, people expected vehement reprisal from the president, and possible prosecution of the Kano state governor, but nothing of the sort happened. To rub insult to injury, Ganduje was announced, to the shock of many, as the APC campaign coordinator for EDO 2020.
Needless to say, the opposition (PDP) played their game well by cashing in on this wrong move. Thus, Ganduje’s bribery video was played repeatedly at the biggest ring road in Edo state, reminding all who may have forgotten what sort of party APC has become, and why it is dangerous to give their mandate to them. It worked perfectly well for PDP as we have seen.
3. The Oshiomole Conundrum: The former National chairman of the party is the arrowhead of APC in Edo state if not the entire south-south. The way the party handled the saga that led to his removal left a lot of his fans embittered. Some of the embittered fans chose this crucial election to vent their anger to the Party. Even Oshiomole himself I am sure was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea: either to show his anger to the party or continue his feud with Obaseki, his successor. Alas, he chose the lesser devil which is to remain with the party; else he would lose both ends. But he did so not without some grudges. Well, it is clear that the party is still paying for their actions.
4. The Unruly ‘Kabaka Declaration’: Not many have forgotten in a hurry the infamous statement by an APC chieftain Tony Kabaka a fortnight to the election, in which he chided the governor and his wife for being childless. Well, if there is anything people should learn not meddle in, it is people’s natural misfortunes. That a woman is childless is definitely not her own making, and certainly not a thing to mock her publicly with. But Mr. Kabaka went that far. Whatever he intended to achieve with that, we do not know, but it sure backfired, because it generated a lot of sympathy for the governor and his wife. I am sure a lot of sympathy votes he got was on account of this.
5. The last minute Tinubu speech: If there is anything the Edo election had been about, it is the issue of godfatherism vs political independence. Prior to the election, #Edo is Not Lagos was one of the most popular trends. Most people did not want a repeat of what happened to ex-governor Ambode of Lagos where his godfather Chief Tinubu booted him out ignominiously. It was therefore in the best interest of the ex-Lagos state governor to remain mute like he did in most cases. But he chose at that late hour to remind the people what some might have forgotten…the issue of godfatherism. Well as we can all see, it didn’t pay off. People are obviously tired of political dictators who decide who comes and who goes.

Those are some of the ways in which APC got it all wrong. Do you think there are other ways in which the ruling party misfired? Let’s get to know.

Also I think the debate was the last straw that break the Carmel's back. Obaseki was spot on in his responses and never join issues with iiyamu inspire the attack. And the final question, how do you intend to fund simple agenda bro iyamu failed woefully to explain. But I must commend his wife who added spice to his campaign. But the bottom line remains osho killed iyamu political career.

E go red for obaseki. He will learn the hard way.

No, instead he is tamed.

Oshomoele went on invitation of the president on complains that he's heating up the polity in Edo state, hence advice to stir clear and let contestant slog it out. You will see his activities going forward will be minimal and backgrounds.

These are writeup to advance personal interest and attract sympathy for former President Jonathan. We now know better.

Baba God help end this virus, let this vaccine work for all humanity.

This is a pathetic situation, this country is drifting at an accelerated speed. God help us.

What a sad way to end.

Report him officially through the proper channel. The military is beyond any individual exerting an unbearable hardship on its personnel. He should be sent to borno for proper lockdown and leave people family alone.

China God have mercy on you. The world will overcome whether you find solution or not.

Waow

Unfortunate, how we intend not to belong but always doing the wrong things that make friends either lure you or force you.

Too bad, why being secretive about it

Its unfortunate how our people leave main issues and pursue shadow. That speaker is a fraud that must be prosecuted either by court (man), devil or the Almighty God. He won't escape one of these.

China quest for world dominance is getting pretty real. The lesson is there's consequence for every action and inaction.

ASUU is a scam

God help bring these people to justice. Until ur loved one soldier or civilian had been a victim, u will see this as politics or witch hunt. For Buhari to insist on probe tells the evidence he has gotten. No amount of distraction will stop this exercise. God is with us as a nation, either we know it or not.

Why can't we face reality for once in Nigeria? Is Dopesi a government functionary or contractor or what to have received such huge amount of money if not to make nonsense of our collective wealth. People who collected money from the previous government must justify it by showing job done and not just anyone coming out to say witch haunt. Many carried out campaign against Buhari if he is after all those then FFK, Okupe and others should have been pickup too. Let's not make politics with issue of treasury looters. If arrested, show work done but if no commensurate work then u are a looter and time to face judgement!!!

Mr Mark go take a rest and serve humanity from other perspective.
