OSHIO BABA TO ANENIH: YOUR PAST IS ROTTEN!



OSHIO BABA TO ANENIH: YOUR PAST IS ROTTEN!
The Edo State Governorship campaign is narrowing down to a straight battle between “Oshio Baba” and ageing Chief Tony Anenih!  Not only that, the battle is turning dirtier by the day!  The principle actors are using the opportunity to haul insults at each other.  And in this dirty mind game, Oshio Baba appears to be having upper hand, reminding Chief Tony Anenih of his “ugly” past.

Last week, during one of the campaigns in Esan Central, Oshio Baba told the audience: “In all the years of Anenih’s dominance in politics, it was only for himself, nephews, cousins and family”.  He carpeted Anenih for being too selfish and not knowing when to draw the line to quit politics.  “Even as Works Minister, Anenih never dimmed it fit to dualize Benin-Auchi road.  His sister’s son who later became the Minister for Works also followed suit”, Oshiomole charged.

“One by one, they left Edo State poorer while they enriched themselves”.  “No other person was considered fit for any ministerial position other than the Ogbesia’s or the Onolemenhen, it is a shame”, Oshio Baba thundered and warned Esan people not to vote for PDP again!  Whether true of false, Anenih truly have himself to blame.  He never gave any “outsider” the  chance to succeed.  “When I sought a recommendation letter and approached him at his Asokoro residence, his PA drove me away from the parlour”, said one Izilien.  Nothing can be further from the truth!

 Indigenes from the State, the ExposeNews gathered, spoke of  how the Esan Chief with his political strangle hold on the State “brooked” no opposition capitalizing on the immense opportunity available to enrich friends, associates and cronies to the detriment of others.  His word was law-unopposed! They also spoke of how major road arteries were never repaired.  The Benin-Okene highway was surprisingly left undone; the Aduwawa road entry to the ancient Benin City was also abandoned.  Worse, the Okene-Okpella axis, notorious for kidnapping, armed robbery remained in dire straits…..notwithstanding the presence of Anenih, Onolememhe, Ogbesia and Oghiadohme in Government!  Whatever happened to “Mr. fit it”!   History would judge this case as one of sheer neglect – and impunity!

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear.   When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises.   It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair.   First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
