I long for the day when Nigerians would wake up and reject these crooks.

If to go by that label, then we are all crooks, no one will be left out. They (govns) and politicians are Nigerians as U are. Most of them come from humble backgrounds as many Nigerians. Invariably, we are them and they are us. The only difference is that they belong to a ruling class and they are privilege to be there while we groans and lament because we are not lucky enough to be where they are. There is probability a certain number of us would not fare better if saddled with such responsibility.

Give a Nigerians a change to dip his hand in public coffers and watch him gulp and siphon more money he will not need to secure the lives of his family and his future first to the detriment of average Nigerians whose responsibility should basically lies on his shoulder.

I sincerely doubt if Fabura can win this war …

When Amechi was Governor he couldn’t win Wike

When Amechi had Federal power he still couldn’t defeat Wike

Atiku and other PDP leaders are still afraid of Wike

Fabura is still a boy and he will cry soon
He has four years to play around.

That's even better grin grin grin. Because, the announced palliatives, people didn't see that, it was only distributed on the news.

Make Wike go rest abeg! He’s got a lot of fish to fry in Abuja, so he should stop meddling in the affairs of River State since he’s no longer the governor. Giving to the needy isn’t wrong, but the intention(s) could be wrong. Come to think of it, would River State indigenes be eager for Derica of rice if they were food-sufficient or partially well-off? Politicians in Nigeria have weaponized poverty to the brim!

Stop being clever by quarter.

We know Wike is your God but stop being mischievous.

The 2015 time when Wike battled Amaechi, he was backed by a Federal power which was determined to defeat him - Mr and Mrs Jonathan.

The second time in 2019, Wike was governor and Amaechi had Buhari, a man who didn't care even if his own family members were losing primaries talkless of elections.
Besides Amaechi came as APC, a party hated in Rivers state.

So stop overrating your Wike.

2027 let Wike come as APC and let Tinubu be aloof like Buhari,, let's see if he can touch Fubara.


Rubbish!

Wike as governor was only sharing small rice for GDI.

Now that Sim has pinched him small, he's now sharing rice for Rivers people..


So pathetic!

Is it their money? When Innoson or Dangote share rice, we know it's their money. But in saner countries like the west no serious business man would be dishing out money like he has a money printing machine in his room.

Sha....may una collect from both sides!



Ebvadoo:
The political rivalry between Governor Sim Fubara and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike took an unusual turn during the festive season as both leaders engaged in a high-profile gesture of goodwill: distributing bags of rice to the residents of Rivers State.

Despite the backdrop of a longstanding political feud, the distribution of customised rice bags adorned with the faces of the prominent political figures became a conspicuous feature in Port Harcourt and its environs.

Governor Wike reportedly allocated 2,000 bags of rice to each local government area, adopting a broad approach. In contrast, Governor Fubara opted for a more targeted strategy, distributing 100 bags per ward.

Numerous stakeholder groups, including political factions, youth associations, market unions, non-indigenous communities, and landlord associations, found themselves recipients of these politically-branded rice offerings.

While social media buzzed with commentary, some users cynically questioned the motive behind the distribution and even the quality of the rice. However, investigations revealed that the rice in the customised bags met quality standards, with no complaints from the recipients.

Addressing the impasse and emerging issues, Senator Magnus Abe, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the 2023 election in Rivers State, voiced his concerns on a popular radio station, Super 93.3 FM, Port Harcourt. Abe, who had recently announced his return to the All Progressives Congress, criticized the distribution process, advising Governor Fubara, “Let me criticize Governor Siminalayi Funara. He sent rice; that rice should go beyond the PDP. It should not be for PDP alone. Give PDP, give APC, give SDP, and give everybody.”

Steal 10 Billion Naira

Distribute rice or goodies worth 100 Milion Naira.

The people sing your praise.

Rinse and repeat. You become a living legend

This is really the "weaponization of poverty"
