OPINION:Oshiomole's experience is a lesson to politicians that power is transient:Membis247Blog

It was a remarkable memory because of the events that have happened in Nigerian politics, especially in the APC, the ruling party. This incident should be remembered, especially now that the next general elections are fast approaching.

It was all about the former APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomole, who was the head of affairs during and after the 2019 general elections. Oshiomole led his party to victory, and after the election, issues began to manifest, like the imposition of candidates in the primary election. The former Edo state governor was also accused of taking kickbacks from the party members to whom he gave party tickets in various states.

The former NLC boss became more popular during the time of the formation of the leadership of the National Assembly. The emergence of Saraki brought about unending controversies in the ruling party, which Oshiomole superheaded. He vowed to recover the mandate of the APC, saying that the party must be in charge of the Senate. The battle was severe because of Saraki's decision to decamp to the opposition party, the PDP. The Edo-born politician declared war on Saraki, saying that he could never run away with the crown. At this stage, Saraki fought back by reminding him that the leadership of the national Assembly was not a throne issue but a democratic regime. Saraki accused him of an attempt to overthrow the leadership of the Senate by force instead of due process. Oshiomole was accused of inviting the DSS to help remove Saraki as the president of the Senate. This was when the DSS invaded the National Assembly complex with an unknown mission. They were armed to the teeth with face masks.

Those days were full of uncertainty in the Nigerian democracy. There was no day that passed that Oshiomole would not make a headline in the online news. He became the most powerful chairman in Nigeria's politics.

After that, his troubles continued. This was when he was suspended by the Edo state APC and was later removed by the court order, which he referred to as a joke. Finally, Oshiomole was replaced by another APC chieftain. He later gave up the fight after he saw that the game was against him. Since he left office, he has remained adamant about politics and has never supported or rejected any APC policies, or spoken against the killings going on in the north.

What do you think about this? Don't you think that Oshiomole is out of politics? What might be the reason for his silence? Is it not why they say that power is transient?

If I Don't Beat Her,She won't Respect Me-Man Says:Membis247Blog

According to BBC News, the rate of domestic violence in Africa is too high compared to every other continent in the world. We keep hearing many stories of domestic violence in different countries of Africa. During an open interview among men about domestic violence, some men came out boldly to tell the audience that they beat their wives at home. Some good men amongst them said it is never a good thing to beat your wife and they also condemned the act of domestic violence. During the interview which was held in Kenya, a particular man boldly said he's one of the men who beat up their wives at home and he has reasons for that. He said that it's a normal thing in Africa for a man to beat his wife so that his wife will respect him. He said he and other African men do it so that their wives will give 'em the respect they deserve. He said if you don't beat your wife, she would never respect you and also treat you like a nobody. (Typical African mentality). Someone also said ...

THE MAN WITH NO FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY TO POLITICAL CLIMATE:Membis247

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP. When he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.  Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.  Only one man bringing people and fighting them.  Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him, and he will start fighting you.  Someone that was in his mid-30s when he was handpicked by Peter Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman now refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.
