Yesterday, September 11th 2012 a big crater opened up at the middle of the Benin- Abraka Road near the Ikpe river. We are calling on the Ministry of N iger Delta to instruct RCC to move to that site immediately before it start to kill our people. As a matter of fact that Federal road is the only federal presence in the whole of Orhionmwon Local Government area.

The attention of the Federal Ministry of/for the Niger Delta is urgently needed to deal with the issues arising from the road construction going on along the Benin-Abraka Road. The road as you are all aware was awarded for construction by the Ministry in 2010 to the Reynolds Construction Company, RCC. But 2 years on they have only done about 8 kilometres. The road is one of the major link-road between Edo State and Delta Statel It links Benin City to the University town of Abraka and Benin City to the food basket of Edo State, Orhionmwion Local Government Area. The question people are asking is has the Federal Government not meant their obligation to the contractor for the job? If they have, how much was paid and what is the duration for the execution of the contract? If RCC is capable of constructing the Road, why is it taking them forever?

The issues of our environment and the safety of our traders in our markets are serious issues of concern to me and my party. We went to the market to thank our people for their votes and found our people trading in the streets. We asked them why this new development which we observed after the elections? They gladly told us that it was a concession giving to them by ACN for voting for their candidate. I am glad that the Comrade Governor addressed this issue by drawing the attention of the environmental ministry to it and showing thier meeting on the evening news.
@ Dr. Nosa Alaseselu, Madam I am quite aware that elections are over. The issues of our environment and the safety of our traders in our markets are serious issues of concern to me and my party.

The main issue here is about gun ownership. Most thugs, area boys, thieves, armed robbers and cultist in Nigeria all have guns. We the 99% moral majority are living at their mercy. Just like the GSM, I thing if gun ownership is liberalised it will reduce crime and bravado in Nigeria. If you know that I am wired up or if you know I have the ability to check mate your aggression you go maintain.
On the issue of oil revenue and its misuse. Here is my contribution. Nigerians what will it cost for the government to build a railway line to connect all towns, cities and local government headquarters all over the country? If we pay just $1 trillion dollars to the Americans over a ten years period I think they can deliver on this project. We will not only network our cities, create jobs we will also be advancing the living standard of our people.

I thank God for your life. There is an advert by Smith and Wesson a popular american gun manufacturer, It says "God created man in His own image that Smith and Wesson made them equal" My point is that an Uzi or an Ak- 47 or some other automatic in your hand would have redefined the relationship. Just pray thou, because studies have shown that with the ease they accessed your house they might be tempted to come back again. So my advice is to be prepared and protect your household.
@ Husman Yakub how you dey? yes individuals can own guns in Nigeria. but they will need the police to license the gun for them. You are also required to renew your license yearly. However, the license is for single and double barrel guns. The question then is why will anyone want to risk the life of his family with the half measure laws of Nigeria? I provide my water, my electricity 90% of the time and why not my security?

Tosan Blessing's Original post:
She met her kind and paid dearly with her life. For how could one explain the motive behind a supposedly decent girl visiting strangers she never met or proven. She didnt give a lead to her friends not even her parents knew her ulterior mot
ive of going to lagos. Methink, she is preposterously stupid with a megalomanic mindset. The greatest pity I have for her is the extreme limitation of the Police system she met her brutal end. No one can actually know what they did with her and how she was strangled. She is a shame to woman hood and a lesson and riddance to other adventurists who might be wanting the same roller coaster ride to Death.
Osbert Agho response:
@ Tosan Blessing I am surprise that you are parading yourself as a pastor. A highly opinionated and self righteous person like you should not be commenting on sensitive issues like this in the public square. You further advertised your stupidity with so much gusto by bringing in the story of your daughter? My regret is for those gullible people that sees you as and call you their pastor. I do not know how your post came on to my Facebook wall but as a respect to my daughters, I am DELETING your DUMB a... right now.
Tosan Blessing response @ Osbert Agho!! My
comments are mine and I take full responsiblity for them. Being a Pastor is not
about how people see you but whether God called you and put the oil on your
head. I have never in my life played to the gallery, or masquerade in the arts
or pretend enthusiasm for originalty. I think much about God and I am unable to
subscribe to your tantrums as I am aware of your many cynical hocus pocus
online. It was my learned friend and brother Pastor- Tunde Bakare who said
" unintelligent men talk from both sides of their mouth and it takes
idiots to be ruled by fools" As a University Don, methink you are too
small to muffle down my literal impression. We are not in the same genre. I
only owe you education, as my impression only reflect the state of my
scholarship. Your score card as to your relevance before your perceived
'gullible people' was measured in the last Gubernatorial election in Edo State.
Need I say then that you neither have a spiritual nor a political constituency
and as such practically and literarily nonest.
Osbert Agho response:
@ Tosan Blessing I cannot help but laugh at your self righteousness. I just hope that you not one of those failed
academia that went to house of God as pastors to seek cheap money from tithe
and offering? Yes, Rev (Dr) Alhaji Tosan Blessing, Ph.D (West Coast Pacific
University, Newman Island, The Americas.) Daddy G.O. of Mama Put Church
(worldwide) inc. Talking about genre, you are of the Reverend Kings calling. Men
who are smooth talkers conning the gullible ones in the society. Rev (Dr)
Alhaji Tosan Blessing you do not have a calling or a ministry. You are just
husling the system. Talking about scholarship, you claim you got a Ph.D but
your write up is neither here nor there. Back to your post I read the mumble
jumble you wrote about your Mom when she passed on, telling the world of your
love for her and how you intend to build up her grave. Why did you not read
meanings into her dealt? Let me suggest to you that you may have used her for
rituals to make your fake church grow its members. How is that for a start?
