EDO2024: ENTER THE WAR HORSE

Major-General Charles Airhiavbere, wants to  ensure the cultural and historical integrity of the Edo people.
In a pamphlet titled "Edo State Movement and its Constitution," the historical roots and aspirations of Edo people for the creation of Edo State come to light. The foreword  sets the stage for understanding the genealogical affinity and shared origin that binds the diverse people of present-day Edo State.

Dating back to 1980, this pamphlet unveils the foresight of Edo's wise elders, who recognized the viability of the state based on its abundant natural resources. Notably, the document highlighted the potential for port development at Gelegele and Siluko, in Edo South Ilushi in Edo Central and Agenegbode in Edo North, showcasing a forward-thinking perspective on economic growth.

One of the most intriguing revelations in the pamphlet is the unique form of government under the Benin Empire. Described as one of the most organized states on the West Coast of Africa, Benin City served as the political, economic, and administrative headquarters for all Edo people. This centralized system distinguished the Edos from other ethnic groups globally, creating a sense of unity that remains unparalleled.

The document emphasizes the need for an "Edo Revival Programme: An Imperative Task," suggesting that the standardization and preservation of the Edo language, along with the revival and showcasing of rich cultural heritage, are crucial. 

Major-General Charles Airhiavbere, RTD, mni, in alignment with this vision, recognizes the significance of involving organized traditional institutions in decision-making processes for effective governance. This, he believes, is a key factor in ensuring the cultural and historical integrity of the Edo people.

Airhiavbere's mantra of a New Era of Hope for Edo aligns with the initial vision for the state's creation, emphasizing the importance of exploiting Edo's unique position in the Nigeria setup. As the only ethnic group with a personified symbol of unity and a history that surpasses many, he sees the urge in Edo people to review and rejuvenate their commitment to progress under a purposeful governor as leader.

In essence, Charles Airhiavbere's quest for the office of Governor of Edo State is not just a political endeavor; it's a commitment to revitalize the rich heritage and potential embedded in Edo's history. By judiciously utilizing the state's abundant resources, Airhiavbere's aim is to fast-track development, bringing the people of Edo State together to move forward as a united and prosperous entity in a New Era of Hope. With the entrance of Charles, the outcome of the soup APC is cooking definitely will be a lot sweeter and palatable given the time tested recipe for the tasty meal in view and all edo people will by that already salivating for the real deal.

*LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS*

Dear All- Let's be real.    I wish to start by adding the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK. Living in Abuja now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves – including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there – regardless of how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same – except status – conscious Nigerians. I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel. To my amazement, he said that his young children travel in the economy class – even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK. No other foreign students do this. There is no aircra
