A widow -turned celebrity, Mrs. Joy Ifijeh has explained why she shunned the N250, 000 offered to her by the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State.
Mrs. Ifijeh asked the PDP to give the money to other widows in need, saying, “I don’t want people to use me for politics.”
She spoke shortly after collecting her letter of appointment at the office of the Secretary to the Edo State Government.
Mrs. Ifijeh said, “I did not receive any money from PDP. I am okay. They should use that money to help another widow. The PDP did not reach or invite me to the meeting. I will tell them thank you but will not collect it. I will tell them to give it to other widows.”
She promised to lead in the campaign against street trading and selling on walkways because she has learnt her lessons.
She, however, called for assistance in the bids to collect her late husband’s benefits from the police authorities.
Mrs. Ifijeh said her husband died last year shortly after graduating from an Inspectorate course, adding that all efforts to collect his benefit were not successful. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteare a mentally disturbed political jackass, for insulting a woman who
doesnt want to u used by a devilish political group. Her eyes are wide
open to see you pdp for who dey are, Life and Dream distroyers.
Hmmm! This woman is now between the DEVIL and the DEEP "POLITICAL" SEA.
ReplyDeleteShe is right. Why should PDP wait for such to Happen before coming out with initiatives for widows? Its all politics and we are not fools. Wise widow.
ReplyDeleteGbam !
ReplyDeleteA well behaved non greedy woman take it or leave it
ReplyDeleteYou do good. Where were they (PDP) when you were suffering? By God grace you will collect your husband's benefit. God is with u and ur children.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what Gov. Oshiomole does to the Widow again, the truth is, he made his true identity known. Insensitivity. The reaction of the PDP prompted the Gov.'S remorse. Must not the PDP be commended, rather than vilified ? Let's call spade, spade
ReplyDeleteD guv is justified for trying to enforce d law, n humbling himself to apologise for saying som mean words out of frustration. In as much I sympathise wit d poor widow, she was breakin d law n all yall seem to 4get dat.
ReplyDeleteGod please set me up for a blessing like this woman o! Whatever people say does not matter. God has visited her the way He wants. And very soon, people in the Police Affairs Ministry that might have collected her husband's benefits will soon cough it out. Except she doesn't say it to her new Uncle Oshiomole.
ReplyDeleteWoman you're an Ingrate of the highest order. If PDP did not rescue you Oshiomole would not have realized himself, now you turned around to insult your help. It God who brought PDP to put Oshiomole to shame and spot before he back. You would have kept quite even if you returned the money. Because you do not know who will be on the sit tomorrow. Do pay people with evil after receiving good from them.
ReplyDeletema or sir, d woman didnt recieve any help frm d pdp. dey wantd to help but she could read btwn d lines n realizd its ws meant to score a cheap political point. she also realised n confessed she did a wrong tn by selln on d road side she felt pdp shuld nt praise her for d. she also gav a gud advise dt d money shuld b used to help other widows..pls read well nxt time b4 u comment
DeleteDemocracy at work. Vibrant opposition to watch the steps of the ruling party so that they won't relax. The PDP should also be preparing to play a greater role as opposition party at the centre and also try to win a state like Lagos so that the people will benefit more in this democratic arrangement. I congratulate the woman, I congratulate the PDP and I congratulate Oshiomole and hid his party APC. God has a way of answering people's prayers. She should make sure that she returns the glory to God Almighty. The state governments should also build shops for the citizens because I'm sure that there are other citizens widows inclusive who also need genuine assistance.
ReplyDeleteWu is dat bastard n God4sakin idiotic ignoramous insultin som1s elses mother,well u ar lucky dat is jst tru comment cos if it wia 2 b interpersonal I wil wld av givn evalastin mark dat anytym u luk @ it u wil neva insult even a rat agn
ReplyDeleteThere is time for everything. This is God's time for the widow to be lfted up. However, many Nigerians are yet to learn how to make public opinion with decorum. We shpuld mind our utterances in public. If I were the widow, I would collect both and set up a project for other widows, after all, it's our national cake. I 'm sure, she's palying on her conscience which is rare in most Nigerians of today.
ReplyDeleteIS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE WOMAN IS TILL WEARING THE CLOTH SHE WORE ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT MR OSHIOMOLE'S OFFICE? I THINK SOMETHING LOOKS SUSPICIOUS HERE FRIENDS. CHECK IT OUT. NA ONLY ONE CLOTH SHE DEY WEAR? ALEXIS
ReplyDeleteNigerians would stop complaining. The law has no respect for any body whatever the comrad gov. might have said to the widow is out of provocation which he has apologised and rehabilitate her with some financial aid ie money to rent a shop. what else do you want him to do?
