Oshiomhole bribes 65 community chairmen with N7m, tasks them to help him rig election

True to the story exclusively reported Tuesday by Urhokpota Reporters, Adams Oshiomhole and Godwin Obaseki held the said meeting Wednesday with 65 Community Chairmen from Ovia North East today at Government House, Benin.
The chairmen were instructed to bring along 30 boys each to the government house for the purported meeting.
Mr James Osadiaye, one of the community leaders, reliably informed UR that the meeting which ought to have commenced by 8.00am with Godwin Obaseki in attendance started some minutes past 10.00am, which many of the people frowned at.
A community leader who attended, Mr. Osaro Amadasun said that he wasn’t surprised after the Governor Adams Oshiomhole disbursed N7 Million to them as it confirmed what he had heard about the governor’s penchant to be financially reckless.
Some Protocol officers at the government house demanded for a bribe of N500,000 from the N7m which they were paid by the happy chairmen, many of who collected the money but vowed to shock Adams Oshiomhole.
At the end of the day each of the 65 community leaders collected N103,000 each as their share of the Oshiomhole Bazaar.
Many Pensioners and local government area council workers have not been paid for up to two years. It is shocking that a government that fails to pay workers citing paucity of funds is still the ssame that is wasting tax payer’s monies to bribe community leaders.

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
