ronalmagic10: Some of you are just plain silly! Watch the video again and tell me what she was selling by the roadside? All I saw were goods that were still packaged. I don't think she was trading anything there. I know the place ( mission rd) very well and there's construction of road there with soldiers around to guard the white men. Not only did he say, ' you are a widow, go and die!' but he also said, ' your husband is the type that kill people on the road'. He said the latter when the woman told him that her late husband was a policeman and he just died recently. The woman was not selling on the road. Fact. So what was her crime?

I'm sure the man died on duty and the family were not compensated. May God not let evil visit those of you supporting adams before you admit that he was very wrong. If you live in Benin, you will know that a lot of rubbish are just happening. I just don't have the strength to type

This is why there is little hope for development in Nigeria. We all want Nigeria to be like America, the UK and other developed nations. If everyone claim to be widows and hawk on the streets against the laws what do you want the governor to do? Have mercy based on excuses.?
Granted his statements were not the best...but wait a minute we all flip out when we are angry. Nigerians are too religious bring...everything they will quote the scriptures or Quran. A society never develops like that. This has nothing to do with Mercy. Your Bible tells you to obey the law and respect authorities. If we continue like this Nigeria will
Never develop.

i ask the question what do Nigerians want. You call for the arrest of a corrupt minister (odua) people say it is ethnic victimization. El-Ruai demololishes houses that are blocking sewers and are out of the master plan...Nigerians call him devil...Nuhu Ribadu jails proven corrupt people, they say it is political witch hunt. I have no doubt that Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they have...For 90% of Nigerians to crucify Oshiomole for simply trying to make his state rid of all the
rot and road side hawkers that stains the beauty of the city. Your open letter is nothing but rubbish! We should learn to obey the law and leave sentiments or widow or widower aside. We can't continue like this as a nation or the Nation is destined to sink!

Truckpusher: You all can curse BLOGGERNAIJA all you want but he
just served you the ugly bitter truth that you'all hate to hear but
readily condemn those that dare speak the truth the way it is.

I have always come to that painful conclusion that our leaders are a
true reflection of our society...after all two can't walk unless they
agree.........Imaging most you empty heads becoming govt. officials
tomorrow ,i can only but imagine how sentiment and bigoted religious
mindsets and beliefs will becloud your sense of judgement .

Nigeria will never change ,at least not in this generation that is so
myopic, greedy,unlawful,uneducated on etiquette,always wanting to have
their own way,foolish pride , and stewpid ...Yes ,including me
too.......

The governor overreacted by using very strong words but the truth is that, that lady broke the rules and should pay for it and if she were my mother so be it.

RedBenson:

You are already a 'truckpusher' and when next you're on ur mission of 'truckpushing', 'oshiomhole' or any governor in ur state shall do to u worse than what he did to the poor widow - amen.

Truckpusher: Imbe ...I DO NOT NEED A SOOTHSAYER TO TELL YOU ME THAT YOU'RE AN EEDIOT

bloggernaija: Widow or no widow.
The instructions/rules/ law was simple enough.
Why can't Nigerians obey simple instructions?
Why do we behave like animal?

From overloaded lorries,
To drunk unlicensed driver,
To roadside traders encroaching on the highway ,
Siren blaring bigman aka stupid politicians.

The next minute ,they will start complaining about bad government disregarding the fact that the government is mirroring our own personal bad behaviour.

Poverty is not an excuse.
Neither should the law develop eyes because she is a WIDOW.

The government is doing the job it was elected to do and our
Uncivilised people are talking about MERCY .
Yes ,the language was bad
But he had to personally set an example.

MY TAKE IS THAT NIGERIANS ARE SO ISED TO LAWLESSNES THAT IT HAS BECOME THE BEW NORMAL.

NOW FOR THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE WESTERN REGION AND THE MIDWEST,
WIDOW OR NO WIDOW,
THIS WOMAN HAVE BEEN CHARGED TO COURT ,HEAVILY FINED AND HER GOODS SIEZED .
WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME TO ENFORCE THE LAW?

lyvin:
U don't have to insult or demean the human person because u r enforcing the law. Even convicted criminals still hv rights.
I heard the man have apologised because he realize his error. Enough said

Sweetlemon:

Chop knuckle

if only we had more people like you in Nigeria.........

Heartless?
No,
I am a lover of law and order and,
There is an economic side to this argument.
What about the widow who borrowed money from loan sharks to rent a shop at a ridiculous interest rate,pays taxes and is being undercut ?
People selling illegally by the roadside are daily undercutting those inside the market and car parks.
While those in the market pay daily taxes used to build roads ,bridges etc,
Those highway hustlers just get a free lunch.
A society without enforced rules and laws will simply whither and die.
The old Wild West around Texas had vengeance laws back in the days.
You kill my father , I kill you full stop.
The laws may look barbaric now but they were good enough to enforce order.
The choice of words by the governor was bad.
All agreed .
But his action was right on the dough .
THE LAW SIMPLY HAS TO BE BLIND.
you cannot take your jagbanjatise to the middle of Times Square and trlalsfagar square and start frying akara.
MY BET IS YOUR BUTTS WILL BE FRYING THAT AKARA IN LONG ISLAND PRISON BEFORE THE END OF THE NIGHT.

The lack of law and order is responsible for the present state of the country.
People pick and chose which laws to obey and which laws to break.
What is the difference between this woman and igbinedion.
If you are confortable with this civil crime ,then you are confortable with more serious crimes.
This is the very reason why igbinedion walked away with a slap on the wrist and ,
You are advocating the same for this woman.
You know the reason why nigeria is shitas?

Very well said..


The crybabies, law breakers and slum lovers can cry as much as they want.... who cares? They all are backward, unruly, uncultured and anti social people.

samuelkaykay: you dont have conscience,what do enforcement of law have to do with GO AND DIE?Let me tell you,Oshom.ole may die before the poor woman,believe this,that woman's seed will one day rule Osho's seed.learn compassion,dnt support evil.

dozzybaba: The midget Gov. shouldn't have wasted time telling her "Go and Die". He should have just shot her on the spot. We would have hailed him afterwards. Dunno why short people are usually wicked. Bloody midget!

obyrich: Your post lacks wisdom and full of hate and unwarranted prejudice. Who told you short people are wicked? Are you more magnanimous than Osita Iheme ( pawpaw)? Heal yourself from bigotry and prejudice before commenting on online forums.
