On the passing of Senator Albert Legogie.... Rest in Peace. Senator Albert Legogie was one of the very first political leaders from Edo North and indeed Edo State to buy into the Comrade Adams Oshimhole for Governor of Edo State project. He was already selling the aspirant to all relevant leaders as early as march 2005. The question is what became of that relationship? Was he used and dumped too? Was the Senator ever relevant in the skim of this in Comrade's administration? My Senator and a true Leader of our people, rest in perfect peace.

Here is another response to Ralph Odua's post on EPF on Facebook on the the ownership of 9 air planes by the Presidency of Nigeria,..... Hahaha @Ralph Odua we are the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not some communist country. We are a capitalist country just like the United States. The logistics of running a presidential form of government requires that the Presidency have 10 planes, Legislature 5 planes, Judiciary 2 planes, All ministers and state governors one each. As state governors are spending billions in chartering planes to move around. Air-plane is no longer a luxury so let us not make it to look like one. It is a necessity. For the price of a new Bugatti Veyron you can buy 2 great used private jet. So why are we short changing ourselves and country? What is an air-plane for a country to that makes millions of Dollars everyday from the sale of crude oil?

Here is my response to a post on Edo Political Forum about Nigeria president having 10 planes compared to American President two. ..... It is true that the America President has just two Air Force One planes, but the Executive branch that is the presidency of America has close to 100 planes. It include the Vice President, the CIA, FBI, Secret Services, DEA, State Department, the various ministries like Agriculture, immigrations, Health and many others. That Nigeria has 10 planes is a non issue.
On Prof Wole Soyinka vs Mrs Patience Jonathan and in response to a post of Edo Political forum by @ Omoruyi Igbinidu what are the obvious reasons? That you did not know that when IBB moved from Lagos to Abuja that whenever his wife Mayram visited Lagos for trivial issues that the roads were blocked for hours unending? That Wole Soyinka in an elderly Statesman who should not be engaged in travails with a housewife? That some of his major contribution to the polity are cultism in our universities and tribalism in the Federal Roads Safety Corps which he founded with his tribesmen under IBB. That he went to copy vehicle registration from the United States and forgot to copy and paste rightly? That he did not learn that the Americans vehicle registration carries different background colours for different states. Wole Soyinka made all the states of the Federation to have one background colour number plate with its inherent problems. Today the FRSC is trying to correct that mistake but wrongly too. They have asked that we pay N30,000.00 for a new license plate still with the same back ground colour just because the LITERATE PROFESSOR and NOBLE LOURATE could not copy well or did not want to be seen as copying. The FRSC will in the future fully return to the original registration model of the USA but in the main time the Prof want people to believe he was been original and a genius. causing financial and economic hardship on our people.
