My response to Victor Oshioke post on EPF on facebook. 
Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, The Esama of Benin Kingdom is a household name in Nigeria and indeed Africa. He is a successful Benin Chief and an Edo ICON. He has Been in Business as far back as 1967. He single handily brought HINO motors to Nigeria in 1970. A car named Nedion Avenger was manufactured and sold all over Africa in his honour. He was made the Esama of Benin at the age of 36 by the highly reverend Oba Akenzua the second of Benin. At the age of 40 years he started the Okada Airlines. His marketing skills is well acknowledge by Nigerians as they now call cheap motorcycle transport Okada. Okada you will recall is the name of the village of the Esama of Benin. So Comrade Adams should not even try to tanish this illustrious son of Benin. I can assure all the Comrade Adams is a small fly in the scheme of the Nigeria project. He was probably a tailor and a clerk in one run down textile mills when Esama was already an industrialist. When Comrade Adams came to ANPP to run for Governor, he was as broke as a broken plate. It is was the Esama's son, Lucky Igbinedion that sponsored Comrade Adams as the governorship candidate of AC. The rumour mills have it that Lucky spent #600 million on that project. We are in a democracy and everyone can not be in one party. In another footage, Comrade Adams was in Auchi and the people wanted to mob him. He had to speed off and the policemen in his entourage started shooting and we hear one person was killed. Then he expected the Esama of Benin to walk around his village without protection. I challenge Comrade Adams to use his office as the state governor to harass the Esama then he will know that small pikin no dey put pepper for mouth dey blow whistle.
