BusinessRe: What's With First Bank by Akpuoru(op): 8:41pm On Dec 25, 2021
ezinwaJesu:
First Bank has gone mad. I can't believe a Bank of that magnitude can go days with silly network issues. This has become a reoccurring thing and they never send any messages to their customers just line Stanbic to apologise for the down time. Very bad of them and I am considering closing that account. Frustrating.
Really I've not experienced this with them. This is a period people need their money to sort things out and to not get access to money is most frustrating to say the least.
My surprise is that there seems to be this silence about it in the various news outlets. I was even a bit curtious bring it up as a topic.
BusinessWhat's With First Bank by Akpuoru(op): 7:57pm On Dec 25, 2021
I have about 3 people who have provided receipts of payment into my First Bank account and this is about the 3rd day with no credit to my account.
Infant one of the payments involved myself and a lot of other people and incidentally, those with First Bank have similar problem.
I met someone who said First and Union banks were having network issues or whatever. I don't even hear this mentioned anywhere in the social media platforms. Can anybody collaborate this?

GeneralKoko:
If you recide in Rivers State you'd know this is a big lie. The governor wants to buy that land . The people initially refused to leave but he's found a good excuse to evacuate them.

He's buying lands all over in PH

Check close to the Ikoku flyover you'd see a fenced land he acquired.

He also has estates close to okoro body and another one by chinda . This man is a thief!
Without a doubt, you live in PH. We know the game of the greedy land graber!
PoliticsRe: Buhari's Imo Visit: Who Lost And Who Gained by Akpuoru(op): 10:12pm On Sep 10, 2021
I agree that people can protest in whatever way they choose. However being intimidated to do so or staying indoors out of fear negates all sense of free will. I would rather you present to an artisan the option of sitting at home to shame Buhari and Hope and going out to fend for himself and family. Let him therefore choose freely and not coaxed into taking the former.
I feel concerned because I deal with these peasants and to them any day without a job is tantamount to a day without food. It is easier to write from the comfort of home when you've not felt the pain.
PoliticsBuhari's Imo Visit: Who Lost And Who Gained by Akpuoru(op): 9:45am On Sep 10, 2021
It is now on record that President Buhari visited Imo state albeit stories that may now fly around concerning how the people welcomed him. For those who know the president's pattern in terms of visiting states, this should be one of those rare occurrences in his administration.
Perhaps what might be interesting in this visit was the call by a separatist group in the Southeastern Nigeria, commonly called IPOB for Imo residents to stay indoors on the 9th of September as a protest to the visit by Mr president. It is also worthy of note that this same group has now perfected the act of barring people within their enclave from the streets at their whim and caprices. I do believe that people can express their misgivings in whatever way they choose, however, it must be constitutional, free from intimidation and does not infringe on someone else's right.
I am yet to understand how the Imo residents gained from yesterday's sit at home. Did it hurt Buhari or Hope; the state governor? Who gained and who lost. If you ask me, the regular guy who goes out every morning to struggle for his needs and who could not do so yesterday is the ultimate loser.
Some people were bragging how Imolites stayed home yesterday away from Buhari's visit. Then I asked, who lost? Is it Buhari that planned to be in Imo state and indeed came and left or the person who would've gone to search for his daily bread but didn't?. The irony of it is that the areas the president would ply, would've been cordoned off anyways to limit human traffic. It therefore meant that this action was a favour done to Buhari's security details as it made their job a lot easier.
The story of "abuzo" (giant termite) that was put in the fire comes to mind. While burning it exuded oil, believing it was undoing the person that put it in the fire. Cut your nose to spite your face I guess!

PoliticsRe: Who Has Bewitched Prince Uche Secondus? by Akpuoru: 11:16pm On Aug 26, 2021
TonyeBarcanista:
[s] While you may have your personal sentiments over the Rivers High court order, you will agree if you are learned or enlightened (make lawyers no vex for me) that the order can only be upturned by either the judge that issued it or a superior court (court of Appeal). Jumping to another high court is the height of cluelessness
I said the Kebbi ruling should not have occurred under NORMAL circumstances but because of the collusion of the judiciary and the politicians, law has become subjective rather than objective. Unfortunately, verdicts obeyed depend entirely on the choice of the power brokers. Don't exonerate Wike
PoliticsRe: Who Has Bewitched Prince Uche Secondus? by Akpuoru: 10:41pm On Aug 26, 2021
I want to say that the title of this piece would've been "who has bewitched Secondus and Wike". The writer has chosen this theme perhaps because he believes that Wike is the saint here who has rightly followed the legal path without any untoward interference to achieve the verdict that emerged from Degema court while Secondus has fraudulently gotten his from Kebbi.
Looking at the two rulings, one thing is clear to any unbiased observer and that is the two " get K-leg". Gbasan who is the judge that gave the interim injunction in Rivers state sacking Secondus is a young judge appointed by Wike last year (I stand to be corrected). He has remained a viable tool in the hand of Wike to execute political cases. ( You can check his controversial ruling just days after his appointment as a judge in an APC Rivers case.
Now the Kebbi case is also another "political ruling" the politicians now manipulate the judiciary to give. Like the OP rightly mentioned, it is a court of coordinate jurisdiction therefore such ruling should not have occurred. However, the saying that he who comes to equity must come with clean hands suffices in matters on this nature. Is the Degema ruling proper and devoid of collusion and judgement commercialization?. I think that it is the same belief by the hawks in Rivers State that the courts can be manipulated is still the belief by those in Kebbi State. It has therefore turned into a battle of judicial chicaneries where all is determined by the greater power. Sadly, the judiciary makes the f00l of themselves while the country suffers for it.
PoliticsRe: Court Sacks Uche Secondus As PDP Member And National Chairman by Akpuoru: 10:25am On Aug 24, 2021
When I saw the news on Channels around 8PM about this court judgement, Gbasan (the judge) immediately came to my mind and wolla it turned out to be him. Wike just made him a judge to use him. I really pity him and hope that he would not destroy his career doing Wike's hatchet job. He is a young judge and has emersed himself in political cases. I know he owes his ascension to the attorney general of Rivers state but he has to be careful.

Hello good people. I really do not know the best section to post this. I went to register my daughter for the NIN. She has three names excluding the surname and I was told that the space could contain only 2 names except I joined 2 names with a hyphen. The operator actually tried it to convince me and it appeared to be so. However, my child's Int'l passport contains the 3 names creating a huge discrepancy in the 2 documents if it is hyphenated. Has anyone encountered this problem and any advice on how to go about it. Thanks.

Foreign AffairsRe: Chaos At Kabul Airport As Thousands Tries To Flee Afghanistan (Pictures) by Akpuoru: 7:57am On Aug 16, 2021
Up Biden!. I just watched CNN for the first time in years, don't ask me why? Biden may go down as one of the lusterless presidents in US history. His handling of immigration and foreign affairs has been a great disaster. The US economy has remained flat and people would wish it returned to the Trump pre-Covid era. On Covid 19 which was the fulcrum of his campaign, he has done nothing new aside giving out the massive vaccine doses procured by Trump. It turned out that the criticism of Trump may be a sham after all.
Perhaps, you can now guess why I tuned to CNN after a prolonged hiatus.

PoliticsRe: Every ethnic group has right to Rivers governorship – Amaechi slams wike by Akpuoru: 12:21am On Jun 15, 2021
Abagworo:
In the real sense of it Ikwerre is not the most populated ethnic group in Rivers State cause they are at par with Kalabari and Ogoni. The reason Ikwerre is claiming the overwhelming majority is the Port-Harcourt metropolis which has even more inland Igbos than native Ikwerre as well as large population of Kalabari, Bayelsa, Akwaibom and other Nigerians. Port-Harcourt metropolis covers OBALGA and PHALGA. Even KELGA has a reasonable population of non-indigenes compared with Ogoni and Kalabari areas. The Kalabari and Ogoni areas comprise up to 90% indigenous people unlike Ikwerre area.

Therefore an Ikwerre winning election based on upland needs others especially Igbo, Etche, Ogba and Ogoni. No tribe in Rivers State can do it all alone
I see your point hence I can't dispute it, however, the riverine particularly the Okirika/Kalabari know they goofed big time in dying for Wike to be governor. Apart from Amaechi voicing that power moves to the riverine, they appear quite about it, perhaps, they are just sulking in their misadventure with Wike.
PoliticsRe: Every ethnic group has right to Rivers governorship – Amaechi slams wike by Akpuoru: 6:02pm On Jun 14, 2021
E don do the Riverine voom na anya. They allowed emotions becloud their sense of reasoning by installing Wike as the governor. The blood of mostly Riverine was used to install Wike as governor and interestingly the Riverine willfully gave this blood even against their own; Dakuku. Power has come to stay with Ikwerre, being the most popular ethnic group in Rivers State, they can dispense it the way they want. Although Amechi may have his selfish reason to want a riverine as a governor (who doesn't), the riverine stabbed themselves when they allowed and worked for another Ikwerre to succeed Amaechi.
Patience who spear headed this in the belief that Senator Sekibo would step in after Wike must have been used to wrestle power from Amaechi obviously saw the mistake when her husband was not reelected. There is now this disquiet within the riverine group having realised their error but it seems they will repeat it once again.

PoliticsRe: Amaechi Tours Lgas, Rejuvenate APC Structure, Wike Panics by Akpuoru: 12:33am On Apr 03, 2021
Wike's ascendancy to the national politics depends a lot on what happens to Secondus. If Secondus manages to secure a second term, Wike's aspiration goes up in flames. However, if he could get a replacement for Secondus then he has a chance to play at that level. Nevertheless, what is certain is that Wike cannot weld same power he used to produce the national chairman now.
PoliticsRe: Amaechi Tours Lgas, Rejuvenate APC Structure, Wike Panics by Akpuoru: 4:56pm On Apr 02, 2021
The hold Wike has on Rivers now is certainly not as firm as before. The truth is that Abe's action in Rivers APC has the discreet support of Wike. The plan was to keep APC structure away from Amaechi. Recall that Abe group claimed that APC would be part of the upcoming LGA elections in Rivers. The plan had been to allow them (Abe APC) "win" some LGAs, in so doing, presenting Abe as a true and relevant APC leader in Rivers state after who could win elections which Amaechi could not.
Now that plan has crumbled and it is reasonable to say that Wike is panicking. It must be noted that PDP under Wike has lots of suppressed aggrieved members but all seem to be waiting for the proper time to react. Already Secondus and Wike have fallen out long ago but not until recently after the nominations of the candidates for the forthcoming LGA elections did it come to the open.
