Wike wasn't elected to be a politician. He was elected to be governor. He should attempt to govern Rivers State.

Bless you…
Wike is using STATE resources to advance his PERSONAL political ambitions.

Brick House (Rivers State Government House) has turned into PDP HQ…
While Rivers Liaison Office/Governor’s Lodge in Abuja has turned to PDP HQ Annex!

In effect, Rivers taxpayers who belong to the APC and other parties are FORCED to underwrite PDP expenses…
But Wike is not alone, most Nigerian governors (even President Dullard) turn STATE resources to PERSONAL use.

This is risky though, but it's the least of risk a mother can take to feed her children.

May God bless our mothers.

Sorry, but there’s risk and there’s DUMB…

They will keep marrying among themselves and never allow their daughter to marry someone like me from a normal family.

God forbid that after strategically keeping me as an outcast, I will now go around supporting them.

If I was born stubborn, without common sense, the shege they have been showing us will miraculously instill common sense upon us to be Obidient in life

And why would you want to marry into their families - if you think they’re all thieves?!

It's pathetic that the federal government hasn't rehabilitated or outrightly scrapped this pedestrian scheme.

The sons of politicians and rich people serve in Abuja and Lagos while the sons of the common man are hurled to insecure states. Pathetic

Every batch/stream of NYSC, there are always different causes of wahala - accidents, kidnapping, theft, robbery etc.

I grew up hearing "youths are the leaders of tomorrow." Is it till these leaders of tomorrow all die before the government wakes up to her responsibilities?

I don't even know where to begin to extend my condolences to the family of the slain lady. May her killers never know peace, in this world and after.

Agree that the NYSC scheme should be scrapped or drastically reformed (perhaps turned to a volunteer program)…
BUT THAT’S NOT THE REASON THIS YOUNG LADY WAS MURDERED, and it’s important not to chase shadows instead of substance!

RIP to the dead.

Why do they even bother with LG “elections” in Nigeria?!
In almost all cases, the ruling party in the state wins all of the seats.

Why not save the money WASTED on these “elections”…
And instead have the State Governor simply appoint LG councilors?

That Nigeria no value education no mean say others go do same.

US, China, Russia, Canada get large libraries serving them. Emir Sanusi's library no reach Ethiopia's library in terms of size and collection of books.

Africa's largest libraries has been opened by Ethiopia , it's called Abrhot Library located in Addis Ababa built at the cost of $21.6 million in January 2022.

It holds 1.4 million books, 15 terabytes of digital manuscripts (240,000 eBooks) and a 1.5km long bookshelf.

It covers 19,000 square meters.

It serves 3,500 people at a time

In contrast, a digital library can serve MILLIONS simultaneously…
Abegi, when some of you are ready to join us in the 21st century, feel free to.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has over 2.1m university students to 450,000 in all Ethiopian higher institutions…
And NIGERIA graduates 600,000 from universities every year as compared to about 150,000 in Ethiopia.

Just Lagos alone provides FREE education has over 1.6 million students in public schools…
So, the BUNKUM about Nigerians not “valuing” education can only apply to your village people.

Yes as expected keep on Fact Checking. How many of these nations have the resources and human capital of Nigeria. Keep on fact checking. Zambian Kwacha is ahead of naira... you no see that one abi! I totally disagree on all you said here. I will drop both pictures to show that you are a pathetic liar.

Get out

This is one of those silly economic ILLITERACIES the Nigerian chattering class keep blathering on about…
The Kuwaiti Dinar is the world’s “strongest” currency (stronger than the dollar, pound or yen), but Kuwait produces nothing (sans oil).

Ghana “strengthen” its currency by arbitrarily and administratively chopping THREE ZEROs off the Cedi…
Meanwhile, a “weak” currency can actually be an ECONOMIC STRENGTH (ask China) if you have a PRODUCTIVE economy.

Nigeria’s problem is NOT a weak Naira, but rather a low PRODUCTIVE base that necessitates unnecessary imports (same as Zambia, btw), but ironically the more expensive imports get, the more that should be an INCENTIVE for domestic import substitution. Unfortunately, most Nigerians are too busy wailing to understand that economic challenges are the flip side of ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES!

PS: Meanwhile, on economic statistics that actually matter…
Zambia’s GDP is than half or one-quarter of Lagos’ GDP, and per capita income is HALF of Nigeria’s.

Zambia's President no dey chop salaries and have reformed the country

Tanzania, Dar Es Salam, Dodoma etc are littered with skyscrapers and multinational companies

Rwanda are using drones to deliver drugs, in rural areas

Ethiopia launched the largest Library in Africa

Algeria, Morroco, Egypt, those ones don dey become Europe sef.

Btw, this is one of meaningless VANITIES that Africans are infamous for…
In a digital age, who gives a flying eff?! Would rather have the biggest DIGITAL “library” or collections.

Meanwhile, the former Emir Sanusi’s library had 40,000 volumes plus over 1 million e-books…
But don’t recall many Nairalanders or Nigerians beaming pointing to it as a sign of Nigerian progress.

Dodoma is a DISASTER (and NOT “littered” with skyscrapers or multinationals)…
And compared to Abuja, as a relocated and new administrative capital, it is a subpar VILLAGE!

Zipline Logistics, the AMERICAN company delivering drugs by drone in Rwanda…
Has also started doing the same drone drug deliveries in Bayelsa and Kaduna states.

Egypt (where 1 out every 3 citizens lives in extreme poverty) is NOWHERE near “Europe”…
Over 10 percent of its population has “japa-ed” and Cairo is arguably WORSE than Lagos in congestion.

We all want progress for Nigeria, and are frustrated by the lack thereof…
But let’s remain grounded in REALITY and PERSPECTIVE, instead of unrealistic fantasy.

Development is a PROCESS, not an event…
And PERFECTION should never the enemy of improvement, which should be our immediate aim!

In 2017 Burna Boy was alleged to have battered and robbed his fellow musician Mr 2Kay, at gun point in his hotel room at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, recently during the “Buckwyld N Breathless” concert.

On June 8 2022, Burna Boy and his police escorts were alleged to have shot and wounded two patrons of Cubana club in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Yet Burna Boy is a saint and Portable is the Devil in Nigeria entertainment industry.

On 10 May 2019, the EFCC arrested Naira Marley for online scam offense. On 16 May 2019, the EFCC charged him with 11 counts of fraud before a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. The case is currently making steady progress.

Yet nobody is cancelling Naira Marley but Portable is regarded as industry misfit.

The fact is that Portable, like any other Nigerian citizen, reserves the right to earn a living using his talents. He is neither an angel nor a demon but a human being formed by nature and nurture. Of course, as an adult, he is accountable for all his actions including breaking the law. It is, therefore, unfair to paint as a devil and consequently take away his means of livelihood.

If anyone is to “take away his means of livelihood” it will most likely be himself…

Why is the government effectively competing with the private sector?
Instead of wasting money on a VANITY national airline, designate private airlines as flag carriers.

Nigeria with rising poverty, bad economy and increasing insecurities do not need such duty...I know 2025 is far bt we need to work on our economy than thinking about hosting AFCON..
allow other African economy that is better n stable than us to do the hosting...
sporting wise we have less than 5 standard pitch in the whole of Nigeria, I hope de aint planning to play AFCON on synthetic plastic turf that would disgrace us wen rain falls like it happened d last time we hosted u-17 world cup...

gulfer:
And where's the money for that

ufotunang:
.. Nigeria that is borrowing money to fund the budget ..with this how will it be possible to host such a tournament

COMPAQ:
We don't want. We are broke and have too many issues at the moment.

Nigeria is NOT poorer (even arguably even less secure) than Cameroon that just hosted AFCON…
All balance sheets (as with most things in life) have TWO columns - pluses (benefits) and minuses (liabilities).

Such a tournament will bring business (for hotels, transporters, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors, food vendors, etc.)…
It will raise visibility, goodwill, and might provide the kick-in-the-rear required to upgrade (or maintain) so many facilities in Nigeria.

Ultimately, in life, you first have to INVEST (spend money one way or another) to IMPROVE your circumstances.

MITCHELL96:
Those countries are co-hosting it not because they' aren't capable of hosting it alone, they're doing it for unity, peace,love and some other beneficial purposes. Nigeria is co-hosting because they don't have anything! No money to fund anything!

You're Talking as if you're not a Nigerian or don't live here

Nigerian or the NFF has Nothing to offer, nothing at all, how many stadiums do we have in Nigeria that can host a popular tournament like this.

HarlequinLekex:
Hearing this for the first timeThey have their reasons for cohosting[organized countries] but i was shocked to hear Canada also wants to cohost good development

But we are incapable of doing it for “unity, peace, love and some other beneficial purposes”?!

That usual story won't work for her in this case.
She wore the her dead boyfriend shirt and never reported to authorities instead she went to hide.

No sweety u can only run but can't hide

I only pity her parents

Oga leave all these story. I believe that chidima chase got some big wigs whom don't want to be mentioned that are pulling the strings. The man is rich busineman and must have lots of enemies.

Well as for this case it is purely a case of a premeditated murder too.
We humans and we not stupid. Not even the judge that would preside over this case.

if she had killed him in self defence they why is there no blood on the shirt or marks on her body?
She never called for help. The neighbors are witness to that, because the suspicious neighbors were the ones that later found the dead boyfriend in the pool of his own blood.
The first thing to do is to call for help and she never did that instead she went to hide lol
There are evidences that he wanted to break up with her and I believe that might had triggered her to murder him.
She stab him multiple times with two long knives. It looks personal and wait till he bleed out. I salute her murder skill because the neighbors never heard a noise. Perhaps the dude might be sleeping or just caught unaware


Rip to the dead.

May the young man's soul rest in peace, brothers be careful, just hit and move on but you won't listen, you want to bitch around sniffing their dirty pussys, be warned comrades
