THE EDO DYNAMICS AND THE SLIPPERY GAME... Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

It's delusional for the PDP to assume they won Edo State 2020 Governorship Election by the popularity and acceptability of the political party. No! Edo election is a national statement against a strand of politics that works in Lagos and nowhere else. It exposed to more people that Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is overrated and so numb to the feelings and political pulse of the hoi polloi. Edo is not Lagos is supposed to be a very big information and tool to the APC against 2023.

A member of the inner circle of the Holy Order, a meek giant, a loving father and a cheering shepherd. He indeed is a quintessential remark of God's mystery of creation, a creature of service, lover of the word and a strong believer of God's arts. He prays for all and especially our home. He leads from

I took so much time to join the argument about the concept of subsidy in the Oil and Gas sector of our country's economy. I have severally caught myself saying yes and no to the same question of subsidy and the reasons are here and this; they were both logical and emotional. When I said NO, it was coming from my deep reasoning about our country and citizens. I could find out that in all our blessings with the natural resources, Nigerians have not and cannot place hands on any tangible benefits to the common citizens of Nigeria except the subsidy. It was a direct way of giving the resources back to the people or some form of palliative to the masses and even in a more refined manner than the Trader Moni shared around in cash by any government, especially now. What is this subsidy after all? Subsidy means that the government is paying some percentage of the cost of Oil and Gas products used by the citizens.
