Just like they're doing in Sambisa ba?

same immunity was there when ngige was kidnapped as a governor and his security details removed. Buhari can deal with Wike in so many ways. How about claiming that for grounding caverton,he stopped movements of critical staff and thereby hampered the workings of the oil and gas industry. And he claims that Port Harcourt will pay for the losses and put a stop on their allocation. The federal government is all powerful in Nigeria

michlins:
according to the land use act of Nigeria, the federal government owns all land and leaves it in trust of the states. Wike is a care taker. Buhari is the landlord

michlins:
please when the powers that be comes hard on Wike, don't claim marginalization. There are exclusive lists which Wike have no power to control. This guy is just power drunk and we all know how Buhari can disregard rule of law when he wants to discipline someone. Ask NK,ask dasuki

I bet you, a halt in oil production in Rivers state for one month would shake Nigeria. 14 days of this Corona pandemic and the country is going haywire looking for where to borrow funds from. There are plans already for budget cut which would most definitely affect critical aspect of the economy. They won't even dare tamper with any part of the goose that lays the golden eggs. I swear they wont!

Well, Just so you know. Rivers state doesnt produce more than 60% of all of nigeria's oil and gas. And that's because some wells in other neighbouring states have not yet been opened. Let me also educate you the more. Caverton is not mandated to fly from Rivers and if Rivers state stifles their business then they move to lagos. None of the oil field locations people fly to from there is in Rivers. Nigeria can comfortably produce 70% of what it is or even more without any production from Rivers. There's oil and gas in Bayelsa, Akwa ibom, delta, abia, crossover, imo, indo and lagos and these are all in commercial quantity. Allocations may be slightly reduced but will still come.

There has already been a cut in oil production from Nigeria, mostly from Rivers and Delta state. Nigetia eont shake because of any halt in oil production and this is the reason:All these borrowing you see our leaders doing is just to fund the cost of governance and to pay civil servants, nothing more(by the way, Nigeria's IGR can fund the civil service). A halt in oil production doesnt affect our economy like they make you guys believe. It just affects the politicians' pockets. The Oil industry contributes less than 10% of our GDP in Nigeria. The rest is contributed from internal businesses I.e how we do business between ourselves in Nigeria. This is also why the closure of our borders with neighbouring countries never affected the country's economy in any way because we export virtually nothing asides crude oil and they are not the buyers of our crude oil. What oil and gas contributes is foreign exchange earnings which is meant to be used to carry out capital projects, pay civil servants and pay pensions but none of this is being done. The leaders simply embezzled the money.

Rallying round Wike on this particular matter, is not how to change the Constitution, it is a waste of tiem moreover, Wike is as bad as the Tanko in Aso Rock!
One is a State Thug and Dictator while the other is a Federal Dictator and terrorist enabler!

If you are really sincere about changing anything, stsrt with the calibre of people you elect into the national Assembly, that is where laws are made and changed, where Presidents are impeached and cut to size.

Imagine Kogi that elected a fraud like Dino Melaye to the Senate, or Lagos that keeps returning Tinubu's kitchen appendage to the Senate everytime or Osun that sent Mr "Twerking" Adeleke to the NASS as their representative?
What good do you expect to come out of Representatives like that?
Las las, they will dash you One loaf of Bread like Mr. #1 Obasa in Lagos State!

Wike should not start a fight he cant win or finish, that is my own advice.
One must chose one's battle carefully, without emotions
Tinubu did so with OBJ or the issue of federal Allocation and he won eventually, because the Constitution was on his side.

They should come to Warri.

Not easy as you think.

Moreover warri is dry.

Get your "FACTS" right before you mislead people!
Caverton operates in warri, They fly us to work and back!

MelesZenawi:
You feel you can fight state government because of few phone numbers you have in Abuja.

Your business will cripple and you will lose...


Instead of apologising for the conduct, you as a private establishment wants to tell the state government that you have phone numbers in Abuja..

Who will create the conducive environment if not the same state government...


1999 constitution needs to be scrapped and shreds Into pieces...

The paper called constitution is a hindrance to meaningful development...

Hedonisst:
This is a poorly written/edited statement. Simeon Nwakaudu should be relieved of his duties because he is clearly incompetent. He was probably in one beer parlour and was ordered to write a statement at short notice, in spite of his inebriation.

The quality of 'short notice' outputs indicates competence, or the lack thereof. The use of the word 'hilarious' in the statement is stupid.

I'm embarrassed on the Rivers State Government's behalf. "never bordered" indeed.

HopeAtHand:



How you came up with the idea that Nigerias economy can be sustained without Oil receipts is shocking. How does someone argue with your type. So Nigeria shouldn't produce and export oil again, we should resort to begging for loans?. Guy, quit Nairaland for your mental health.

MelesZenawi:




There is no oil in Lagos State. What happened lady time was a leaking pipe that was laid since. Aside that nothing..

HopeAtHand:


Tell me the quantity of oil produced in Lagos state.

All of you hailing wike, I believe you guys are joking. The cabal have been silent to wike's rants like forever. He shouldn't let them look at his side. Finally, it's the people that will suffer.

So everyone should keep quiet and keep being afraid of an illiterate that prides in disregarding the rules of law like you pointed out
Senseless citizens of a failed state
What sort of Exclusive list OK let them fly in but they must remain in the airport never them attempt moving into the streets and roads in rivers state where the government in charge placed restrictions to movement to check covid 19
