Might be stage fright !
Is this dude a first time governor ?
Didn’t he practise behind closed doors if he had anxiety ?

He's a first time Governor, but this isn't an excuse for this nonsense. Aside from his inability to call the figures correctly, he was still struggling with stage fright. At this level, how can a whole governor be having stage fright when reading a written speech to a minute audience? It's embarrassing

there could be a mistake some where ,


the print out could be small ,

the place he stood could be dark for him to see the paper properly ,

or if it is hand writing , he may not see the writing properly' ,


it could also be that the people working for him ,has been paid by his enemies to do some things against his reading for the day,

This was how they were mocking Asiwaju Tinubu then yet today his mockers are failures and amount to no good in life.

Even God hates scoffers so much that scoffers don't get the blessings of God. Never be a scoffer and don't ever be among scoffers if you want your dreams in life to come true.

Will you be proud if that was your father embarrassing himself in public? Politics have indeed turned your thinking faculty into absolute zero.

Agreed. However, A lot of people suffer from various anxieties which back in the day we would have said “ his village people where after him “ .
I believe he thought he could handle , he also appears to have dyslexia and is mixing numbers altogether .
As a leader it looks bad but I feel he needs our sympathy. See a doctor , get properly diagnosed and treated.

Is it not written in words? They should have written it in words for him if there are challenges with identifying the correct classification of large figures.

He needs a very close and trusted person, like a son, to always be with him when dealing with figures, else....
May God Almighty help him.
Just imagine the excuses you are giving for him because of some useless party affiliation!! grin

We have suffered in Edo state oh cheesy

They loot the money because they don't know it, this governor now is someone that can say, divide the money into two and send one to my account in so so so country. Ask him how much he is talking about and he will say, do as I say or do you want to quit your job

Very painful indeed. He would have read through it before getting to the proper presentation. But i learnt he is a business man, so how did he know the amount he is dealing with?

Actually, when you want to read out figures, it is so easy to stumble, reason broadcast news writers write out the figures in letters, instead of numbers. This is so embarrassing. Didn't he read the document at all before presenting it? Like, what is this?

When Obaseki said he can not hand over to an illiterate.

This is it.

He would signed Edo into trouble.

Just like Nigeria,the most intelligent nation being ruled by idiots and drug addicts.

Here comes one of the most educated state in the Niger Delta being govern by a stack illiterate.

What a shame!

Let me watch the video again.


Nigeria,it is finished...I can't watch this again.

I am pained for my colleagues in that state.
Election mandate are being bought at Abuja like chilled bottles of zobo.
The same man who accused Obaseki of not distributing Tinubu 's books to Edo pupils because they contains Tinubu' photographs!
More is yet to come.
This one that can't read simple figures will simply sign away the future of Edo State by telling you "na figures we go chop"

I will teach you how I taught them and even you will understand it right here sharp sharp.

423174619986

First step: Space out the numbers in a family of three like this : 423 174 619 986

Step 2: Give each family a surname. Starting FROM SURNAME ONES.

So we have 986 with surname Ones
619 with surname Thousands
174 with surname Millions
423 with surname Billions

(They already know about Hundred, Thousands, Millions, Blilions and Trillions)

Next we start calling the numbers followed by their surnames. But the family with surname Ones do not like their surnames to be called. So we will have:
423 billions, 174 millions, 619 thousand, 986.

It sounds like Four hundred and twenty three billions, one hundred and seventy four million, six hundred and nineteen thousand, nine hundred and eighty six.
The end.
Alright you did well. But it's not as easy on the stage. And I have noticed this governor is always incoherent and frightened when talking to audience . I will call it stage fright. Let's hope such doesn't repeat it's self and he shows himself capable. Though I am not in Edo I have families and friend over there . What affects them affects me

He should send his deputy next time.

Nobody cares about who can or cannot read.

Nigerians need someone who can get the job done.

^^^
undecided

He is presenting an appropriation bill to lawmakers. That bill will decide a large part of how people in Edo will live for 1 year. It is a big deal.

There is a big problem if he cannot read out the details of the bill to state lawmakers. You cannot say it doesn't matter if he can or cannot read. How can he do his job as governor if he cannot read? undecided

To those who are familiar with the man - is he just a poor public speaker? There are some people who are good administrators but very poor orators. Is he one of them? Or is he dyslexic?

Edo people - over to you. We need answers.
