I’m having that sinking feeling I get when I watch governorship debates. People want a new Nigeria but the alternatives are no good. Why aren’t intelligent people going into politics? Come on people!

A governorship candidate wants to use government funds to start “Edo Bakery” to produce “#Edo Bread” as his job creation strategy. Another says he will employ people into state vigilante. 😂

Who did this to us???

#EdoDecides2020 #Edo2020 #EdoDebate

One of the candidates in this Edo Governorship No-Hopers Debate who looks forty-something years old say “I am a yoot too”.

You? Youth? 😂

There is hope.

An #Edo governorship candidate says there will be FREE AIR if he is elected! 😂

Edo people, you know what to do! Vote for him because the others will charge you for the air you breathe if they win!!

RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT #CORONAVIRUS STREET CURFEW

“Corona Court Case in Rivers State
April 1, 2020

The Governor said Dusk to Dawn. Hence the people moved freely from 6a.m to 6p.m. Shockingly, the Governor's agents were arresting people who

moved out during the day. This confusion was cleared when the Commissioner for information insisted that it was a 24hr curfew. The damage had already been done, over a hundred and twenty six persons were already arrested.

Today I received a call to come represent one of them in court. And boy...The mammoth crowd in court... The entrance to the court cell was overflowing with body-gumming people... I tried to take shots but the police siezed my phone and later released it.

MY ORDEAL AT THE HANDS OF SARS MEN

Yesterday, I was driving in my area and saw SARS officers beating up a boy who lives in the area. His mum fries Akara for a living and I knew immediately that they wouldn't be able to 'settle' the officers. He kept shouting "what have I done",

while they tried to force him into their bus. They were beating the hell out of him and don't know if he would have survived. I made to go plead with them but at a point hesitated and chose to take a shot of the bus and numberplate.

I was given the beating of my life right on

the road. They started by smashing my knees repeatedly with wooden bars. As I type this, my left knee is swollen and my right knee seriously bruised. I have pains on my head, neck and back.

I was handcuffed like a common criminal and shots were fired to disperse a small crowd

@DrJoeAbah

@DrJoeAbah @osaeB, almost everything federally controlled in NG is suffering. Federal Unity Colleges, Federal Universities, Federal Roads, Federal Police, Federal Hospitals, national refineries, national theater, national stadium, national seaports.... State-owned institutions &

facilities are faring better. Imagine if the national theater was handed over to Lagos State, National Stadium to the FCT, National Refineries and Seaports privatized, maybe a case for State Police. This country is too big for FG to handle alone. And it's suffering due to that.

Restructuring, is more of an economic and development issue than it is political. At this point, it shouldn't be a question of if but when and how. For Nigeria, it's now Restructure or Collapse, and that collapse won't be far off.
