PHOTO: Oshiomole's 'Go And Die' T-Shirt Goes On Sale in Edo State

 The last may not have been heard of the comrade governor and the poor widow. Remember what happened with the NSCDC Commandant (Oga At The Top) this year when we had T-shirts of his popular quote? 

The 'Go and Die' t-shirt which has gone on sale in Edo State and other parts of the country has the silhouettes of Oshiomole and the widow, Joy Ifije depicted on it along with the now famous quote 'Go And Die'. This is despite the apology by the governor to the widow and the people of Edo State.

I guess the comrade governor made a mistake that will keep haunting him. What a pity!

GO AND DIE!

Go and Die Widow Opens Up: "I Cried to God When Oshiomhole Seized My Goods"

Mrs Joy Ifijeh is now a popular woman in Edo State, as a result of her encounter with Oshiomhole. Here is what she told Punch's James Azania about the sad episode that has become a big blessing for her...

You look young, but you have a grandchild. How old are you?
I was born in 1973.

What do you do for a living?
I am a trader.

What was the total worth of your business?
I can’t say, because I buy goods from different markets and sell them to make money.

How did you feel the day the governor seized your wares: Did you curse him as you went home empty-handed?

No, I did not curse any one, but I was sad just like the day I lost my husband. That day, I cried to God, and wondered, where do I start from, where am I going to? I told my God to send my helper to me. I can’t keep on suffering till I die.

Did you feel bitter when the governor seized your wares?
Yes. I cried till daybreak. Marvellous put his hand on my head and said, “Mummy, it’s okay.” Then I replied him, saying, “Marvellous, let’s eat.” But he refused. “No, mummy, let us go to sleep,” he told me. I did not eat anything that day until daybreak.

How did you feel when the governor called you?
I lost strength that day, I won’t lie. I did not even get myself. I was surprised when government called me back. Now, I thank my God. I thank everyone in Government House, I thank Adams Oshiomhole, and I thank my God who used him to help me in this condition. I thank my brothers and sisters, and my cousins that helped me when my husband died.

When did you lose your husband? 
I lost my husband in January 2010. He slumped in the office and died.

When did you get married?
We got married in 1990.

What was life like when your husband was alive?
Life was better then. From the time we married to 2005 when I gave birth to my last boy (Marvellous), things were better. But after then, I began to suffer; that was when he (husband) got married to another woman, a Yoruba woman, and things became difficult for me. My husband was from Iloje, in Owan West in Edo State. They had met in Ibadan when my husband was on transfer. My husband died in Lagos.

How many children did the other woman have for your husband?
She had five girls for him.

How many children did your marriage produce?
The marriage produced four children. My first daughter, Gloria, is 22 years old. The first boy, Bright, is 18 years old now. My second daughter, Elizabeth was born in 2002. My last boy, Marvellous is nine years old now.

Are your children currently schooling?
Yes. Bright has finished secondary school and is waiting to enter the university. My first daughter, Gloria, is married. Marvellous is now in primary three; Light of Life Primary School, in Ogida. My second daughter, Elizabeth, is in Favour Group of Schools; she’s in primary five. She stays with my sister.

How have you been coping with the upkeep of your children since your husband died?
We have been managing. I am the only one taking care of my children and paying house rent.

Has your husband’s family been of any assistance?
Yes, they have helped a little, but they are doing their best. On November 15, when I went to the village, one gave me plantain; another one gave me oranges and plantain also.

What happened to your husband’s gratuity?
They (Nigerian Police) has not given it to me. In fact, I went to Lagos twice, with my two sons. We went to the Ikeja office where we were asked to fill in some details about the date of employment and some other things. But till now, we have not heard anything from them.

Tell us about the experience you had with that truck pusher you said absconded with your goods?
This happened when I went to buy goods from the market in the village. I bought a full bag of pepper, a full bag of santana (starch), garri and yam. It cost me N25,000 in total. I gave it to a wheelbarrow man on Mission Road and I did not see him again. He just disappeared. I cried that day until the next day when I went to the market again to buy goods, before Oshiomhole saw me.

You were offered employment by the government. Have you taken it up and where is your office?
I was offered employment to work with the War Against Indiscipline office.

Now that you have received various sums of money, what do you intend to do with them?
I don’t know yet, because I am still surprised and shocked. I feel so much joy. Now, I have to sit down and think about what I want to do with the money.

How did you feel when you heard you were all over the Internet and in the news media nationwide?
I was surprised, they even said the Peoples Democratic Party sent me N250,000, but I didn’t take the money from them.

Have you forgiven the governor?
Yes, a long time ago. I forgave him on that day he seized my wares. But I wondered where I would start from again, and I called unto God to help me.

Some people are still not happy with the governor, what will you tell them?
It is not his fault, because he used money to build that slab, but I didn’t put my goods on the slab.

What will you tell your friends who still trade on the street?
I told all of them to stop putting their goods on the road and on slabs.

Since the incident, you have become a popular person. How do you feel about it?
It is God’s wish; it is God’s work.

Wow! Oshiomhole Meets The Widow He Insulted, Gives Her N2m + Employment & Drinks Tea With Her

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on Monday met with the the widow he insulted in a major road in the state while on an inspection tour and donated two million naira to her, after an apology:

"Let me apologise to you for the way I spoke to you, I am very sorry about the statement. I have also realised that even in anger, one could still achieve the same result that he set out to without provocative outburst. I apologise from the bottom of my heart."

The widow, Mrs Joy Ifije, who was invited to the Edo Government House by the governor, was also offered automatic employment by Governor Oshiomhole to take her off the street. She was so happy...

Oshiomhole had invited the widow to personally apologise to her over his uncomplimentary remark which had generated controversies in both the conventional and social media in since last week.

Oshiomhole's action has frustrated the PDP in Edo State that were trying to play politics with the matter.

The governor used the opportunity to advise against risking their lives to trade on high ways. He said trading on the road and walk ways could hinder free flow of traffic as well as cause accidents.

He added that his government will continue to change the face of the state with infrastructural development.

On her part, the widow, Mrs Joy Ifije, pleaded with the governor to forgive her for flaunting the law of the state and promised to do better next time. She said: "I know I was wrong, that was why I quickly knelt down to beg when I realised I was face to face with the Governor."

Funny enough, the widow promised to help government advise other women not to trade on the road side.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole Apologizes Over Comments To a Widow

Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo today Friday November 29th apologized for the comments he made to a widow in Benin during an inspection tour on Mission Road, in the state capital, a fortnight ago.

Oshiomhole said that he now regretted the comments which had become the subject of discourse in the social media. The Governor said that he made the comments in anger.

The governor’s apology was made when the leadership of the Federation of Muslim Women’s Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), paid him a courtesy visit in Benin. Continue...


He noted that though the challenge of modern times had bestowed on the shoulders of some women and single mothers the status of bread winners of their homes, such should not be used as an accuse to flout the laws.

The Governor urged the Muslim women leaders to use their offices to propagate the essence of healthy living among children and women in the nation and the need to maintain proper sanitary conditions in their neighbourhoods.

Oshiomhole lamented that the challenge of widowhood had also exposed children to different temptations, adding that there was the need for society to be careful, to avoid unwittingly creating more problems for the nation.

He noted that money was not the best thing that guaranteed ones happiness, “but honesty and selfless service.

The Governor added that if Muslims and Christians were adequately committed to their religious doctrines, the world would be a better place.

He urged the women to propagate the message of Islam through the nooks and crannies of the nation, and to also inculcate the values of honesty in their followers.

Oshiomhole, however, assured the association of government’s support in ensuring that its present leadership made remarkable progress and also consolidated on the successes of their predecessors.

Earlier, the FOMWAN National President, Hajia Amina Omoti, urged the state government to look into the issue of the teaching of Islamic Religious Studies in public schools in the state.

Omoti also solicited for government’s moral and financial support for the effective running of the association.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole Humiliates Poor Widow In Public - Tells Her To Go And Die [VIDEO]

I bet this video will make you cry just like it did to me just now. Telling a poor widow "You are a widow, Go and die" isn't the right words that should come out of a any Governor's mouth whatsoever. Where's the Oshiomole I used to know? The Former NLC President has definitely disappointed most Nigerians with such hurtful words to a poor woman. The Widow pleaded and pleaded but the Edo state government was so mean towards her. Making the situation worse, The Governor ordered some Authorities to take the little goods she had on her.

It’s your 5th anniversary as Governor of Edo State, but your opponents would feel this elaborate celebration was a waste of state resources
We are not like any other government, our selling point is the trust line between the governed and the government and every responsible and honest steward must as a matter of duty and obligation account to his master. I’m the steward of Edo State. I have the privilege to be entrusted with the management of the resources of the state and the state is not made up of few elites but of people in the rural areas and as well those in the Urban area.
