 History is replete with how lazy minds are petrified by Change; because Change challenges and pulls down their economic kingdoms built on lies, deceptions and shenanigans. And, in most cases, beyond the economic loss, they are also stripped of their vain egos and larger than life pride.  We cannot fail to notice historical examples like the martyrdom of Stephen in the Bible. Stephen revolutionary preaching of the expiration of Judaism and its old Temple in Jerusalem, and his affirmation that Jesus is the Son of God was fatally offensive to the religious and political status quo of his day.  The Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes  Rulers, Elders and Levites of Isreal hitherto exploited the people and exacted on them. It was at once their economic base and also their context for supremacy over the people.  Now all that has been under threat since Jesus Christ appeared with Salvation by faith in him. The religious leaders had already lost thousands of followers and man...

The Dr Asue Ighodalo and Osarodion Ogie Campaign Council for the Edo 2024 Gubernatorial election wishes to express strong disapproval of actions that tend to insinuate any form of disrespect for the  highly revered person of Oba Ewuare II , Oba N' Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, and the Royal throne of the Great Palace.  We are convinced that those who have cause for concern about issues relating to the Palace should explore all available traditional mechanism for resolving issues, rather than resorting to the Law courts, especially when such persons are related to the Royal linage.  We counsel that such action be reviewed in the interest of filial harmony and the larger implications! Similarly, we condemn in firm terms those who want to use this sobering period to drag the Palace into their political antics.  The Palace is the revered symbolism and custodian of our Edoid identity and must be so revered. We therefore advise politicians to ply their trade in their turf and leav...

It is election season again in Edo State and the hawks and purveyors of hopelessness and despair are on the loose. They are scurrying to find a sweet spot to exploit the candidates in the September 21 gubernatorial election, writing disjointed pressers in an attempt to justify their pay from overlords who seek to upend the gains made in Edo State in the last eight years.    Hence, it is not so surprising to see that a defanged penpusher, John Mayaki, who has been disgraced publicly for trading in lies and falsehoods in previous election seasons, has taken on the job of media handler for the All Progressives Congress (APC). He has returned to his rusty pen because he has found people to pay him to tell baseless lies and embark on ill-fated propaganda. As it has become a tradition for him, he has kicked off with the same old script of peddling lies, falsehoods and half-truths. With a candidate who had to opt for a ‘miracle centre’ to obtain High School certificate at the age of ...

I have been inundated with calls of recent with information that the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the September 21 election, Hon Dennis Idahosa, has taken me to court for libel.  Whereas I haven't even seen the so-called court papers anywhere online nor have I been served, I would like to send a message to him to bring it on because, as they say in this part of the world, " him never see anything because him go sue people taya ".  So, APC dey see how the thing dey pain (forgive my pidgin again). When they told all kinds of lies insulting President Goodluck Jonathan and reducing the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to nothingness in the name of politics and campaign, they didn't think that it was defamation?  Even now there are several of their agents and media guys who continue to hurl insults and call Governor Godwin Obaseki all manners of derogatory names and yet the governor has not one day t...
