*The Primacy of Truth (Part 3)*

*By Crusoe Osagie*

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

"I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

"The evil that men do lives after them;

"The good is oft interred with their bones."

The last two lines of the preceding quote by Mark Antony in his funeral oration for Julius Caesar after he was killed with 23 stab wounds by the Roman senators, including his confidant Brutus have provoked my imagination extremely in the last 48 hours.

Perhaps human nature does not change much, otherwise, how can Mark Antony's words remain the indisputable truth over 425 years after they were spoken?

All I hear from the exclusive club of politicians with access to power who have been on the tip of my pen for the last one week are the 'evil' that Governor Godwin Obaseki has done to their access to our collective patrimony.

These few bigwigs, as they call themselves, with no clear sources of wealth that finance their elaborate estates have since sent their minions to try to assail the Primacy of Truth. Unfortunately, they have not been able to summon the intelligence necessary to debate at this level.

In this third part of the series, after a lesson from the wise words of Antony, I want to place more truths on record that they may not be interred by the deluge of obnoxious lies frequently heralded by these enemies of the masses.

Seldom spoken of is the truth that Governor Obaseki has cleared all the pension liabilities dating back over 30 years along with the first pension harmonisation in the last 22 years.

My 80-year-old father, Mr. Matthew Osagie, like many other pensioners, is a beneficiary.

What about the capturing of all state pensioners in the Edo State Health Insurance Scheme (EdoHIS), ensuring that they have access to quality healthcare till they leave this world? Is this an act of wickedness?

Is it callous of Obaseki to have recruited over 5000 (five thousand) people into the State’s civil and public service in the last seven and a half years, paying their salaries promptly on the 26th of every month or earlier, when other States have been letting go of their employees?

Will Obaseki be considered hard-hearted for migrating workers in the State into the Contributory Pension Scheme, ensuring that these workers are well-catered for after their active years in service?

Obaseki has cleared the pension arrears owed Local Government pensioners from 1984 till date after nearly 40 years of neglect! Is this an act of wickedness too?
He has now established the Local Government Pensions Bureau, which caters to the needs of retirees from the State's 18 local governments, ensuring that their entitlements are promptly sorted as and when due.

Will these senior citizens and retirees along with their children and grandchildren for whose benefits Obaseki contended with the powers that be rise in his defense?

The jury is out and the battleground is the gubernatorial election on September 21, 2024.

Sadly, not many will read this. Our people are inundated by a deluge of tall tales and they can hardly find space to accommodate the Primacy of Truth.

*Watch out for Part 4.*

Another stellar feat by a sister from the South West. Many congratulations madam. More heights to attain.

Our youth are so blinded with division, discrimination, and tribalism. We never see ourselves as one, and it’s always the east versus the west or the north versus the south.

OkoRemi2023:


The cowards in the west is brave than men in the East or what will you call men that a dude from thousand miles away ordered not to leave his house on Monday and they obey like zombies, to me that's the definition of cowards


You don't need to do nzogbu nzogbu to prove braveness, winning, triumph, victory is about calculation, with the braveness of pharaoh he lost to the isrealite that hold no weapon, victory is from God.


Yoruba men are the most braveness men in, Nigeria, when they're attack they organize themselves together unlike you m0rons that Fulani herdsmen dey give you girls doggy anyhow in the bush, killing them and all you do is to rant rant and rant



I think you should go meet your father to seat you down and tell you the history of your ancestors

You see what i was talking about? I made just a sentence and you have started foaming in your mouth dey write plenty. Meanwhile you no get mind oh! Very Typical of 'you guys'.

Maybe some people don't know that the God himself is with his children with or without the support of anyone they will be victorious,infact God can decide to crumble the US for the sake of isreal

I am not surprised .

You worship a very nepotic god such that the Jewish European Israelis are the only children of your god who are more important and special than other creatures,including the Palestinians.

Because Jesus was a Jew,so other creatures other than Jews are inferior?

Now I understand that the alleged nepotism of
Buhari,started from somewhere!

Idiot.

Those backing Fubara aren't giving him good counsel ,they should have told him to make peace with his master so as to be able to govern well.. as it stands now ,they will make the state ungovernable for him..

I think there's a walk around to this. If you are transferring 1m, break it in two's as In make the transfer of 500k twice. That way you end up paying 500 naira for each transfer, which sums up to 1k as the charge for 1m rather than #5000 for 1m if you were to transfer once.

Then you are not current with the happenings

Who that's not a political office holder he appointed is with him

He should thank his God, that woman can never make a home.

And to most parents you guys are raising rubbish as women, I mean dependent women. Parents raise your children to be independent. Anyways u can't give what u don't have.

Jodera:
And I just found out this spending is overflogged sef.

They'll tell you Arteta spent in this inflated market and one would think he's spent up to 1bn euros since his arrival.

One day you go talk wetin Arteta do you

As usual comparing

Do we have the warchest money like other clubs
I know it's shalaye that will end it sha

guobe:

The country has to be restructured. We can't continue like this.

citizens are not ready. No genuine freedom fighters. The elites know how to play the games. Among them are the cabals that plant those politicians. The ones that are ready to lead the fights are either bought, or invited to the tea party.
But one day, it will lead everyone to the wall of no return, then we will see their escape routes. The country is too big for someone and his few teams to control. But will some certain people allow restructuring, regional government or resource control?

It seems like there are four very different countries inside this country.

APC on the beat

But balablu will still charge her cyber security tax...make she go convert am to dollars keep for house

advanceDNA:

once u have the mentality a woman must behave like a mad woman and treat u like trash in the name of love...u are just unconsciously setting urself up for a slave-master relationship without knowing....

This write up is just telling men to worship women and make themselves be a door mat in the name being with a woman......


Have some self esteem man..... U guys just like to set urself up and come back to cry river

Some write-up on social media dey irritate person sha.


Sometimes I'll be scrolling through the comments and see

"Yes"
"Nice one"
"that's true"
"That describes us"

agreeing to dumb advice being given.



Personally to me the above sounds like a toxic, dramatic and stressful woman. Those who can handle such can go for her but some of us like peace of mind.

Bad behaviour shouldn't be encouraged.

Pathetic. The elites have run this country down. This is a result of insecurity and terrorism...
