My people who was the contractor that got the contract to produce EDSIEC materials? Do Edo citizens have the right to know? I think the person must be very close to the powers that be and the is the reason many people are not able to mention the contractors name. I hear that the contract was dominated in Dollars. That the EDSIEC chairman did not know anything about the production. Who is this person whose failure to deliver the materials on time is about to set Edo on fire? Why did they not engage local manufacturers both in Benin and all over Nigeria. How does Comrade Adams intend to creat jobs in Benin when he does everything outside our shores?
When you send a carpenter to the market to buy you gold, when he gets there and see gold plated sawdust he will gladly buy it. because that is his area of specialization. Comrade Adams appoint George Ogoh who does not know anything about elections and the logistics that is involve in the conduct of elections. Now what do we get? Cancelled elections, tension in the land and a complete waste of tax payers money. They are going to have to organised the elections again.

MY advice again on the April 20th 2012 LG elections in Edo State. As a voter go to your polling Centre very early in the morning and acredit yourself. Before that make sure you write down the time the election materials arrives at your vote booth. Take the name of the Edisec officers and note how many of them. Take pictures if possible. After accreditation do not go home wait till voting time. Make sure you cast your vote and make sure that only those accredited are allowed to vote. After voting make sure the results are collated in your presences and a copy is pasted to the wall. Tell the electoral officers that you have posted the result to EPF on the internet. If you have the time you can follow the results to the Local Govt coalition centre. Note that the results of the councillors are announced at the wards coalition centre. just go out and vote,
My
response to a post by Mercy Robinson on EPF that ACN are already writing
results for the LG elections....It not possible to write results nowadays, they are going to try. They
may just be sending propaganda to discourage the opposition from go out to
vote.You will also hear that some candidate have step down over night. It is
all political gimmicks. Just go out and vote and protect your vote by making
sure results are called and signed at polling centres.

The elections are here again as Edo State people will go to the polls on April 20th, 2013 to elect local government officials. As in all elections I will advise that people should go out and vote their conscience Vote for the party of your choice. It is important for voters to note that this is not about Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. So people should not feet compelled to vote for ACN. Voters should not forget that when Comrade Adams won the court case during his first tenure he worked with PDP councillors and chairmen for almost 18 months without any wahala. That goes to show that it is possible for him to work with other elected on other party platform.Please vote your conscience and make it impossible for anyone to write the result. Of course there should be no need for violence. Vote, wait and monitor how your votes are counted. Period.
My response to a write up by one Omololu on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=448330521909878&set=a.266501743426091.67496.100001988019251&type=1&theater
Omololu is getting paid to write trash by the same network that is financing boko haram. In their ignorance they collected those documents from their offices for omololu with the hope that she was going to write earth shaking article against Christendom. But alas, we all know that this islamic fanatic who was deported from Canada will do anything for money. She wrote several lies while in Canada about Nigeria in other to get her residency permit. She even called herself a human right activist that would be killed if she came back to Nigeria. Thank God that those immigration officers saw through her phony application and deported her. Since she got back to Nigeria she has been doing the Islamic hustle among and around those illiterate boko haram fools and getting paid. I had advised her to relocate to Bahrain since a christian nation of Canada doesn't want her. So that she can go and really enjoy Islamic lifestyle.

My response to Abie Uwa Okhomina's post on facebook http://www.facebook.com/abieyuwa.okhomina/posts/10151372012351440?notif_t=close_friend_activity Your write up is full of GENERALIZATION. If you were talking of one family, village or town one would understand, but to say AFRICANS is oversimplification. Haven said that, people build wealth everywhere even in villages. You build wealth when you income is bigger than your expenses, when you are able to save the excess and are able to invest in a profit yielding ventures. In every community there will always be someone whose income is above expenses and would ready give loans to others. There are many wealthy families in Benin and many cities in africa that have invested well, that will not depend on their children to make it. We must not generalise the whole world is reading or post and comments.

My response to a post on Edo Political Forum on the issue of hair plaiting I was at the University of Benin Alumni office the other day where I saw an extraordinarily beautiful lady, a tall 23 years Queen walked proudly into the office with plaited hair. I thanked her for her courage to be proudly African in the mist of colonization. I will want the ministry of culture to declare a cultural day, just take any day and just go to the streets and give money to any woman that plait her hair. It will be difficult to come by but the are out there.
