On Friday, July 22, in Edo state one of the
garage boys, who collect tickets on behalf of
the government, publicly harassed a woman
selling akara (bean cake) and bread by the
roadside.
The unfortunate incident happened at Ring
Road, Benin City, as the alleged government
official threw the akara and bread on the bare
floor all because the woman has been unable
to provide her ticket for the little space she
occupies by the road side everyday.
It could be recalled that two-years back,
Governor Adams Oshiomole was caught
making a shocking remark to a helpless widow
in front of a huge crowd.
This video shows Governor Oshiomhole
ostensibly leading officials of the state to
sanitize the city of Benin, the Edo State capital.
In the course of his tour of duty, he came
across a widow roadside hawker. The poor
widow knelt before the imperial governor, a
former labour leader, begging for her little
means of livelihood to be saved. She pleaded
that she’s a widow.
But her pleas fell on the governor’s deaf ear. In
what could be regarded as the most unkind cut
of all, the governor said the widowed woman
should “ go and die.” Afterwards he stood for
some seconds looking indifferently on how the
officials took the women’s belongings away,
and he left the scene of the drama.
God bless Nigeria!
