Ugosample:


when it comes to elections in rivers state

Who controls the militants in key areas of rivers state wins the elections
That's the truth
it was institutionalized by Odili.

And Wike has so many benefactors out there who are ready to fight for his re election

It's not going to be easy for APC in rivers state o

I tell you that in confidence
No.
Wike victory in 2015 was made easy because his godfather and godmother controlled aso rock then and the security forces were given orders from above to look the other way when Wike boys were performing.

The present security set up in Rivers is under APC control and most of those Wike boys know that it will be suicidal in 2019 to come out are perform like they did in 2015.

Even Wike knows that and that is why he is already playing the victim card.

Take it or leave it,no state government can hold ground with the federal government if the federal government mean to remove you.

Ask Ameachi,ask Nyako,ask Fayose.

Buratai boys will not take that.
I hope you saw how the senate re run went,APC won 2 out of 3.

Tonye my man. Surprise he didnt say anything about IKEDC. I was in a conference a few months ago where he and the honourable minister of trades commerce and industry were part of the speakers. A very eloquent and intelligent young man i must say. Rivers please just give it to him i think the cap fits him.

You mentioned IKEDC. There are so many of them. I was at Sahara Group at Alfred Rewane Road, Ikoyi and later at Tanami Ltd at Park View Estate, Ikoyi in 2016. I have had an opportunity of meeting him several years back when Sahara was just growing in the office of late Ode Okaisabor, what I saw in 2016 was beyond my imagination.

Several years ago, I have taken interest on his father - Ambassador Patrick Dele Cole that I wanted to know much about him. He was the best friend of Late Alex Ibru the founder of Guardian Newspaper which made him to contribute so much at the foundation stage of the Guardian Newspaper. He was also a former MD of Daily Times, a diplomat, administrator & politician (he was in Obj govt).

While people look at Amaechi angle, it is not possible for a father to sit idle while his son enters the dirty waters of Rivers politics to meet people who have no regard for decency & finesse. Ambassador Cole is a man of no easy means. Wike has Amaechi and Ambassador Cole to contend with.

I wish him best of luck

They usually use all their biography to deceive Nigerians, but after getting the power they eventually bcome nothing to write home about. This same man was the one telling us to show our azonto skills as part the interview at sahara group way back 2011 when i just finished my NYSC, even telling applicant to come on their native attires just because we needed a job. So i wont be surprise if he behaves like Rochas after getting power. SMH
it's fools who prefer gubbling the history and wallowing in the experience of others that appreciates this type of sheer act of deception

we all have our stories...I told a jaimacan friend of mine last night...That only 2 things u can tell me and i can hate u without being able to defend it in public as the public is emersed in deceit and fake life..1) don't ever mention the word u knw u can trust me? I'm a Christian...Bye we are done! Sane and open minded people by now should know that is the oldest and palatable lies to coy deception and fucccck up ur life...
2) don't ever tell me u knw u can trust me I'm ur friend...Gadammn it..I'm done...Because if u were my friend u wouldn't av to convince me in the first place...Many people av died at the hands of such foes they assumed or were coyed to believe they were friends..

With his billions many people in Rivers still claim they don't know him. This simply means he doesn't care about affecting lives let alone communities in rivers state.
That's our problem in this country, someone will store billions of naira in his account and wait to become a governor before he will affect his community.

Sorry Mr billionaire, biography alone doesn't win someone election in Nigeria. We have been deceived many times with this kinda thing.

Though it's a win win for Apc, they have gotten someone who can support them with some billions for their campaign

You know Rivers politics.
Wike is already crying and so much concerned & pained by the candidature of Tonye Cole. He's crying about a man in another party

You forgot to remind us he's very generous with his concubines, at the expense of embarrassing his poor wife. This dude bought a house for Kenya Moore, and if I remember correctly, international media carried the story. You can imagine if he becomes Rivers state governor, a website like mediatakeout or Tmz Will report it like this; "Kenya Moore's former sugardaddy wins election in Africa".

Lol.
What militants?
Political militants?
None of those militant will go on suicide mission.
Holding ground with the Nigeria army in a full out war will be suicide mission for the militants and those communities that hide them.

We know that this militants don't have war planes.

They can only hide in the creeks and blow up pipes lines.
Don't be so childish to believe that they can fight an all out war

A war of how many days? Abi how many days be election? These guys would easily repel our incompetent army without a fuss, within the 24 - 48 hours window of the elections.

butty (tonye cole) vs pako (wike). this man can transform rivers to be a city better than abuja or any city in Nigeria with rivers huge allocation + IGR, and as successful entrepreneur who is managing a fortune to the tune of a billion dollars. Sadly these kind of properly educated and experienced men are hardly giving a chance to lead. people prefer Our Usual agbero politician. the last time someone with this kind of impeccable C.V came out to contest, he was killed by some kanuri dark google wearing General

What do you have to say about Buhari?

What do you have to say about Buhari?

to be fair and not to redicule buhari. he isn't a wealth creator. his major training in the army was been a combatant. his training in mons military college Sandhurst UK is transport and mechanical specialist, and his training at US war college is strategic studies (more like war management and international relations). that is why since his 35 years military career with huge salary and estacodes, and appointments as a ptdf chairman. he just can't create wealth or jobs directly or indirectly. he wasn't trained to manage wealth rather military vehicles and war situation.

I guess you watch too much America war film.
River state has already be marked as a flash point in 2019 and the federal government will deploy troops weeks on month before that election and any militant that show face will be on suicide mission.

Taaa. If I hear say Tonye Cole net worth be $1.4b.

Net worth as in his Sahara stake abi which assets?

Tonye is super rich no doubt, but a realistic estimate of his net worth will be between $200m - $300m at best. That's a whole lot. But he is NOT a dollar billionaire.
the man is worth more than $300m. he was Richer than the late Lulu Briggs.

Far more Richer? Lol

Opuda was worth $500m in 2012. He fell off the list in 2013, and never made the list up until his death. Which simply means, he subsequently wasn't worth even $500m.

You know Cole and the Briggs closely? well, I'm not sure you do, because if you do, then you ought to know that; Cole was the 'behind-the-scene bussiness plug' of the rivers govt during Peter/Ameachi Tenures (16 yrs). Dude is f**king wealthy. trust me! Sahara doesn't even capture Tonye 's wealth. Tonye is low-key fella, Opuda was just more popular. People often mistake popularity/fame for wealth.
