Spill it out...

Why won't Edo be highest in human trafficking wen d only achievement Oshiomole could show after 8yrs as governor is d lady he trafficked from another country in d name of marriage.
Meanwhile, has anyone seen them together in d last 6mnths?
This is the state that the short devil ruled for 8yrs, yet he couldn't change anything.

Never a good record to behold.

I wonder why some heartless fellows out there would get rich and live their dream life at the expense of another human being.

Edo and Italy are like 5 & 6.

That's is why if I see Africans talking of slavery I don't take them seriously.

We started slavery and slave trade ,
We are still doing it indirectly today.

We get problem.

I thought Oba of Benin is the most powerful man in Edo State?
He is not making use of the power well.
At least Edo State should have been the most organized state in Southern Nigeria

two things Edo people are known for (1) human trafficking (2) broom is their favorite mode of transportation

Edo Ladies that like playing Prostitution Match:Intercontinental.
Nigerians and Get Rich Quick Abroad Syndrome ( GRQAS).
No thanks to the political elite.

When we try to get rich quickly, we lost other things in the process.

The Fulanis are patiently and quietly laying play to take over Southern Nigeria,

We are running away from our land wile they are advancing
