I have been heart-broken since the news of violence and violent deaths associated with the rerun was reported. What are people thinking? Dying or killing for any political gladiator is never worth it.

Nyensom Wike is a Thug nigga
Heard he was once a drug dealer

He use to be a truckpusher but
Now he's guns are bigger

He carry weight like a mad truck
But now he's belly's bigger, what a bad luck!

He loves to hang at a strip club
Leaving his family home just to get twist up

S h i t suck, now he wanna get buck
Leaving the people of Rivers stick up

The treasure's getting ripped off
While he at a house party getting henne sipped up

You need to get up, flipped up
Before you get hit up

You have spoken well!

Truckpusher, who has been threatening fire and brimstone...should read this..

They will only use and dump him, if he was lucky to come out unhurt!

You are right, thats why Im always against all political paid poster on social media. You are a PDP man but your name is not among those that gets juicy political post. Ngeneukwenu, Omenka, Progressive01 etc are die hard APC paid poster but yet they dont have any reasonable reward from APC. We need to open our eyes to reality & join hands together to fight the common thieves(politician). I have used Aregbesola vs Oyinlola of Osun & Akala vs Ajimobi of Oyo as a case study. despite how Tinubu & Obasanjo hated each other before, both now dine on the same table. lets make the best use of social media to educate ourselves about the current situation of things & the best way to make it better. Thanks & God Bless

You got a problem with my personality bro , I'm not threatening but I'm telling you what we will do and we are already doing unless you've not been listening to the news.
We dey kpokpo soldiers ,our brothers , our sisters and anyone just anyone no matter how close, once you're an identified and confirmed zombie we will bite you .
Whatever Buhari amd Amaechi wishes for they will get it double .

This is Rivers State! In this land we will send a message to the entire world that we are a free people that are ready to defend whatever option we've chosen in this country with the last drop of our blood.
Remain in your zombie lane - Wike can't control us but we have decided to support him till the very end.
Amaechi must bite dust during and after the election.

Segadem:
hmmmm,what went wrong?
is this the barcanista that I know?

What did the families of the victim [b]got? What did the victim got? Any insurance?

What did those that died for them between 2002-2003 got? Any insurance for them?

TonyeBarcanista:
Let me start by saying that as an indigene of Rivers state, I am ashamed of the news coming from my state as we prepare for the scheduled National Assembly and the State House of Assembly rerun elections. An election that is supposed to be a political contest has become a bloody warfare. It is a shame that the political gladiators and major stakeholders are more interested in scoring political points with deaths and instigating violence instead of using the powers at their disposal to nip the violence that has brought shame to the state to the bud. Nyesome Wike is the incumbent Governor, his position isn't up for grab, Rotimi Amaechi is the minister representing Rivers state in the federal excutive council, his position isn't on the line, yet statements credited to them are but a shame.

Both Amaechi And Wike Are Gainers, None Is A Loser
Anyway, my concern is the set of supporters and youths that allowed themselves to be used as a tool to settle scores on behalf of politicians. I have monitored the stories of the Rivers violence and the victims carefully, I saw NO single victim that is related to Mr Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Nyesom Wike. Hundred percent of the victims are either tagged "APC Supporters/Chieftains" or "PDP Supporters/Chieftains". I checked again to see who the biggest beneficiaries will be in the contest and the names of Amaechi and Wike propped up. It is a fact that irrespective of how the election goes, neither of Amaechi nor Wike will lose completely. Wike will still be Governor, Amaechi will still be minister and is guaranteed life mouth-watering benefits from Rivers state's purse as a former Governor. The losers are always the victims and merchinaries of political violence.

The Gladiators We Kill For Have Ways of Uniting
History has shown that politicians in Nigeria are never enemies. They always have a way of stoking violence between supporters and they still have a way of coming together to share the booty without recourse to ANY of their supporter nor victims. I will give a few instances....

Between 2002 and 2003, then PDP's Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso supporters clashed with those of ANPP's Presidential Aspirant Muhammadu Buhari and ANPP's Governorship candidate Ibrahim Shekarau, people lost their lives in the process. However, thsame gladiators that people died and got injured for between 2002 and 2003 made up in 2013 and united under APC broom. Today, Buhari is the President under APC platform while Kwankwaso is a Senator under same APC platform. What did those that died for them between 2002-2003 got? Any insurance for them?

In Ekiti state between 2006 and 2013, supporters of PDP's Gov Segun Oni and AC/ACN's Kayode Fayemi engaged themselves in bloody clash in Ekiti state, people lost their lives and properties. The same gladiators that people died for between 2006 and 2013 made up in 2014 when Segun Oni joined APC. Today, Fayemi is a minister under APC government, while Oni is the acting National Chairman of APC. What did the families of the victim got? What did the victim got? Any insurance?

In Osun state, PDP's exGov Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Governor Rauf Aregbesola's supporters repeatedly clashed between 2006 and 2010, several lives were lost in the process. Today, same political gladiators are best of pals in APC. Oyinlola even nominated some appointees to Aregbesola. Who loses? The victims or gladiators?

Some of us may remember the bloody clash between PDP's Adebayo Akala supporters and Ajibola Ajimobi in 2007(ANPP) and 2011(ACN). There were even picket of clashes in 2015 when both battled each other the third time for the state's number one seat, as usual lives were lost. But what do we have today? Akala is an APC Chieftain and an ally of Ajimobi. What did their supporters and victims get? Who loses?

Even in Rivers state, I could recall how Wike/Amaechi fought with Omehia group in 2007. Today, Wike and Omehia are pals, Omehia receives full estacodes of exGovernor, but Amaechi and Wike are dramatising to be foes. Since their supporters started clashing, who has been losing among them? Wike is a Governor, Amaechi is a minister, Peterside is DG NIMASA. What did the victims of the violence get? We all know that "something" awaits the losing candidates for the rerun election either in the federal level or state level as the case may be. What awaits the victims of the violence and their families? In fact, Wike will always pay Amaechi his entitlement as former Governor.

Should I remind all that even at the peak of clash between then Lagos state Gov Tinubu(AD/AC) and then Works minister Seye Ogunlewe, Gov Tinubu still appointed Ogunlewe(PDP)'s brother as his Head of Service? What compensation did their victims get? Even when Musliu Obanikoro's supporters and those of Bode George were killing themselves in 2007, both men still got "something" for their troubles. Bode was retained as NPA Chairman, while Obanikoro was appointed an Ambassador to Ghana. What did their footsoldiers and victims of attacks get other than Obituary and Gone Too Soon?

NO political gladiator is worth the blood of any poor Nigerian. Why should we kill ourselves for them when we are aware that they always have a way of settling each other? Did Fayose not openly supported Fayemi for juicy ministerial appointment of recent? Is it not time for the youths to be wise?

Young people and citizens of Nigeria should always be passionate about positive political ideologies that will advance the cause of our country irrespective of political leaning, and not cheer the gladiators when they pitch us against each other.

As for the Rivers poll, though I want my party to win the rerun, I shall not support winning through violence of any form. I want a #PeacefulRivers and not a #BloodyRivers. I want a Rivers that I can be proud to call my state.


This epistle should be more than enough for the wise!!!





May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria
