BUSTED: Oshiomhole summons Chairmen of Communities in Edo State, for endorsing Ize-Iyamu

Official leak available to Urhokpota Reporters indicate that the Edo State governor and field marshal of the APC in Edo state, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, has summoned the various heads of Community Development organisations in Edo state.

The chairmen are summoned to appear at 8.00am Wednesday 24 August 2016.

The venue for the meeting is Osadebey Avenue, government house in Benin city.

They have been summoned over allegations that they have endorsed the PDP candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Urhokpota Reporters gather that these chairmen have been blackmailed to recant tomorrow and declare for Obaseki, the APC candidate.

Reliable information available to Urhokpota Reporters reveals that the governor has, through his agents, blackmailed the chairman by threats of making them lose control of their burrow pits where they get sand and which is a major source of their influence.

The chairmen have been told that anyone of them who wants to retain control over their burrow pits must endorse Obaseki Wednesday.

You may see some of the members declaring for Obaseki on Wednesday.

But Vice Chairman of Ovia Northeast chapter of the association, Hon Igbinoba, has said that no matter the level of intimidation by the outgoing governor, he was not going to cow to Oshiomhole.

“The man thinks he can bully everyone. But we will stand up against him. One cannot be greater than the people. We have resolved to vote for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and no amount of intimidation can stop or deter us.”

A LAGOS YORUBA SENATOR, Ogunlewe ACCOUNTS FOR IGBO CONTRIBUTIONS IN LAGOS since they settled in Oyingbo in the Aros 15th Century along with the Bini

Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe wrote this beautiful piece, read and learn. Lagos State belongs as much to the ethnic Igbo as to the Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, Fulani, Efik, Idoma, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Edo, and so on who live in it, pay tax, identify with it, and settle in it. That compact was made the moment Nigeria became a single nation, and a successor power to the old principalities who were subdued and who ceded their sovereignty for the new commonwealth of Nigeria. It was pragmatic. The Igbo had the skill and the industry, and Lagos was the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria and its major port. The Igbo have lived in Lagos since the 15th century when the Aro and other Igbo first settled in good number in a place we now call “Oyingbo” in the era of Benin and the Portuguese trade. The arrival of Dr. Namdi Azikiwe to Lagos in 1937 from Accra after his studies in the United States, stimulated the political and cultural environment of Lagos as no other has before or after

 10 popular Nigerian lies with enormous staying power In Nigeria, once lies and historical myths take roots, they are almost always impossible to uproot. But the stubborn persistence of lies is no reason to give up on correcting them. Find below 10 oft-repeated lies with the most staying power in Nigeria. 1.  That the Nigerian government banned history in secondary schools. In the last few years, the claim that the Nigerian government “banned history” from the national curriculum has become a hackneyed, predictable refrain, and is often uttered in moments of displays of historical ignorance, especially by young people. But this refrain is both dishonest and inaccurate. History was never a mandatory subject at any point in Nigeria’s history. It was always optional before it was discontinued in 2012 because of progressively dwindling student enrollment. History and Government were offered as alternatives to each other for students. That is, you enrolled in either History or Government bu
