“Land of Upright Men” or ”Land of Incorruptible People.” Nigeria Obaseki Okowa DeltaState EdoState
It used to be a colony of France , and up to now France still has more than a kind of huge political, economic, and cultural control over this tiny French West African country.
By the way, General Muhammadu Buhari, our president of no revolutionary colour and fervour who is very much unlike Thomas Sankara of Ouagadougou just returned from Ouagadougou where he went to attend an ECOWAS Summit.
“Yes, Ouagadougou, I’m in Ouagadougou – Edo State’s Governor Obaseki’s Ouagadougou; a hell of a place.” Of course, he was referring to that terribly horrifying and horrifyingly terrible portion of the Benin-Sapele highway around Oghehe or so, where there is a gully that is more than a gully that has heaps of refuse as neighbours. There is another rottenly bad spot around RCC now Dangote Junction on the same Benin-Sapele highway.
Of course, I tried in vain to put up a vigorous defence for Governors Obaseki and Okowa. My argument was that the notorious Ouagadougou is a federal highway done poorly by corrupt contractors and their fellow collaborators in the art and act of graft. But the counter I got was that the two governors should combat the federal might as road revolutionaries, as Thomas Sankara and Guevara of Edo and Delta highways.
