ROSSIKE: Good gesture by the governor. All's well that ends well. At the end of the day we are all human. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

coogar:

a man erred & he quickly apologised with a monetary incentive to boot & you still want him crucified? what else do you want from him?

Afam4eva:
See dem see dem, dem don start. So, now GEJ calling his political opponents rascals is now worse off than Oshiomole telling a widow to go and die? You guys should fear God.

OMAJE4: If he actually apologised to her personally then thats commendable but Oshiomhole must stop justifying his action by claiming the widow indulged in street trading, She didnt. It doesnt matter if she's been made to admit doing some kind of wrong to trigger the Governors wrath but its evident She wasnt trading but only waiting for a bus to pick her wares and her supposed crime was keeping her goods at the side of the road which clearly isnt street trading.
Genuine repentance can only come when we admit our mistakes wholeheartedly and seek forgiveness. Someone please tell that to Osho, the woman may be happy and better off today but we still know there's an arrogant and unrepentant tyrant in Edo state govt house.

MyJoe:
Let me try to break it down for you.

Do you belong to your town's union - Lagos-or-wherever branch? Imagine a member broke a union rule and when called out on it by the chairman she starts to beg. But your chairman rather than show compassion or comport himself properly while enforcing the rules gets angry and tells the member to go and die. After people start calling him names on the streets and he starts losing members' confidence, he dips his fingers into the union's cash doles out N2m to the woman.

How would you feel and has the chairman done the right thing?

ROSSIKE: Good gesture by the governor. All's well that ends well. At the end of the day we are all human. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

Mexyz: Insult and win promo is on in Edo state. To enter, just get the governor to insult ur father,mother,sister etc and you stand a chance of winning N10,000,000. The more insult you get, the more ur chances. So hurry, offer valid while insult last.

ilugunboy:

He knows people like you exist, but he has to do what he ought to do: offer a sincere apology...and help the woman to live a better and more fulfilling life.

No matter what he does..people like you would always be available to question the motive and offer cynical comments.

The evergreen song of Chief Ebenezer Obey readily comes to mind here.

elohor_ayodele:

But wen it comes to GEJ no mata wat he does all we hear from many pple here is endless insults n name-calling

Sermwell: I'm not fighting for anything but can't stand you lie to us here on this forum! Can you please explain the above post

bokohalal: One 'husband' go soon appear.

Sermwell: please don't mind that guy oo! He wasn't the one who created the "go and die" topic here on nairaland! I did!

You can verify pls!

Meaning?

ilugunboy:

Not so fast...I won't allow you to use blackmail to silence me!.

1. I strongly condemned the statement he made..

2. He is human first before being a governor....unfortunately he was a bit overboard and allowed his emotion to get hold of him in a momentary loss of mind

3. He has humbled himself enough to offer an unconditional apology and in the process helping the woman to live a more comfortable and dignified life.. .Mr, shut up. why did it take him so long to do these? why must it be after PDP had done the needful. I hate it when the truth is been buried in a shallow grave.

4. You Afam failed to see the positive outcome of the incidence...but want to hold on to the sad part...because it furthers your interest as a PDP sympathizer

Afam4eva:
I make mistakes almost everyday but i don't hold any political office. Political office holders are saddled with the responsibility of being civil with their countenance and choice of words. The onyl reason you're having a soft spot for Osho is because of his party affiliation. Had it been Jonathan that told someone to go and die, we won't hear the last of it. Let's learn to speak the truth irrespective of what political divide we align with.
