Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has offered automatic employment and donated two million naira (N2,000,000) to the widow he chastised while on an inspection tour of the state. it's a good act and shows that Governor is indeed truly sorry, but let me make few observations after the cut....

Was the manner of speech of the Governor towards the widow harsh and hurtful? Yes

Was the Governor right to condemn and chastise the widow for breaking the law? Yes

Was the Widow right in breaking the Law? No

Did Nigerians criticize the Governor constructively? No!

Punch Newspaper reports that Oshiomhole had invited the widow to ‘personally apologise to her over his uncomplimentary remark that generated a backlash from Nigerians on social media in the last few days. See his words on quote after the cut....

‘I have also realised that even in anger, one could still achieve the same result that he set out to without provocative outburst. I apologise from the bottom of my heart, but sometimes you get angry when people compromise your efforts’ .

Certain females may want to replicate and capitalize this acts...I just hope we wont have females acting as widows or widows in the actual sense breaking the law to get benefits. Na talk I talk o, anything fit happen, remember the Stowaway Boy and how certain boys replicated the act to get benefits and scholarship as well.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
