Lol. So Tinubu has soiled the reputation of the presidency so much that running for President will dent the international reputation of Jonathan? Wike doesn't want Obi to contest neither does he want Jonathan to contest. I thought he said Atiku was the problem? He wants Tinubu to run unopposed. Thankfully, Nigeria is not Rivers.

John Mahama ran twice after losing his re-election bid before becoming successful again. There's nothing disreputable about running for the number one seat in the country. We cannot afford to leave the presidency for cannibals and vampires.

Infact the man has gone nuts with his recent remarks

He doesn't even know where he is, you say you no go contest, then others should not contest also

He keeps on creating enemies for himself because of one man's ambition, I hope he would not be dumped Sha 😂

Make Wike kukuma contest now

Abi he no wan be president again??

Putinofrussia:
Mallam El Rufai,why talk with both sides of the mouth,sir?

I was taken aback yesterday when El Rufai said 4 years are not enough for an6body to make meaningful change as president of a nation especially Nigeria but he is passing judgement on President Tinubu that is just in his second year even as FITCH Ratings,Poor's and Standard Ratings,World Bank,IMF etc have praised him for stabilising the Economy of Nigeria.

But you can take the country back 20years in 2years

I think the bottom line and again it is something that I preach all the time. Educated people are not representative of Nigeria and that’s where we make our first and most crucial mistake. The second mistake is that in our collective arrogance we think our aspirations should also be the aspirations of the man in the village. We say the politicians weaponize poverty, maybe but the reality is the man in the village doesn’t care about the issues the educated city dweller cares about. The village man is not interested in Exchange rate, whether PH refinery is working or not, whether a governor has convoy or not, whether Tinubu bought jet or not. Most of them have never seen arise TV or channels. His life is governed by simple things, borehole, farm inputs, rural roads, schools and medical care.


The quicker the educated city dweller starts to understand how the village or rural people think and what matters to them the quicker we get of our high horses and understand the future of this country. Like it or not these people are 80% of the electorate and determine you future. Politicians know this basic fact that seems to elude the city people with all their education..

EducTed people should also understand what democracy is. It is government by the majority. We are not the majority! We are the minority, we will have our say but the majority will have their way. The folly of the educated Nigerian is that he advocates for democracy because he wants to be like the white man, yet he leaves the majority in the villages without guidance and then starts to argue and speak English in the city. I was having a discussion with someone on Nairaland the other day and I suggested that educated people should start to reconnect with their villages and even vote there….he was arguing with me. Firstly because as an educated person they would have influence on the voters in the village because you will be seen as a role model. Secondly, educated voters don’t make any difference to the votes in the cities and thirdly, about 90 of the 109 senators for example are voted in by largely uneducated villagers because all the educated indigenes from those villages don’t reside, visit or vote their and hence have no influence on their townspeople.

While I agree with some of your points, but I think you don't really understand my point here

Poverty and Illiteracy is actually being used as a strategy by this leaders

They intentionally make you and I poor and uneducated, so they can get thugs that would snatch ballot boxes for them, they even elevate this their thugs as things go on

We have seen in recent times how friends of the government have become untouchable

The elites themselves still need to align even if they want to survive the economic trauma

Abi you think Dangote or whoever billionaire that is can actually go against these current crop of leaders and they wouldn't turn him into a pauper overnight

Omozeez1:
Ogbeni forget about this ur right up. Everyone is going to die one day anyway even if you are rich or poor.

You and Wike can live forever if you want

I Sha don talk my own

Here's my number 07040579671

garykoeman:
All these peteru obi supporters.

All these will not make the country vote a regional messiah.

But The president is running a one state show at the national level now

What would you say to that?

inoki247:
Lol ordinary #20 you people just call money anyhow if most of our forefathers have that ordinary #20 most of us will be swimming in inheritance now....

Most people didn't even inherit ordinary black and white TV so nothing is ordinary then.

#20 then is not even worth a million now

And people steal billions daily so what are you talking about?

Softmirror:
The bolded statement shows the reason why most of you people's argument lacks substance. Try and find out the cost of a bag of cement in 1976 match it up with the price today that way you can have an idea of the value of #20 you are calling ordinary.

Can you equate the #20 to the billions siphoned daily in the modern Nigeria?

osuofia2:
Na online university. It's not that serious but so much relevance giving to it.
Damina should stay off or he will be dragged by nonentities

If the same strength we use in condemning men of God is being used against the political oppressors, we suppose don achieve much in this country

But what do I know

Chemical1:
I don't know why people feel so insecure about this gehgeh stuff especially some girls, it is just like redpill, A wise person will copy two or three things from inside and leave the rest..
Yes men are going through a lot in this life especially Nigeria because politicians and celebrities have spoiled the girls, on top we still have mumu men very useless set of men who their target everyday is to impress women..
A broke guy don't deserve a woman but a broke girl deserve a man..
Wetin concern pastor in gehgeh matter sef..
Allow the guy do what he like, it's all fun..
The rate at which men are disrespected when they are broke is very very disgusting..

One thing I will never do and I have never done is taking my fellow man as my source of inspiration

More of, person wey I pass

I have never even watched any of his content

twilliamx:
Well even though it sounds stupid negotiating with murderous terrorists, but if it achieves lasting peace then it's worth a shot

Until another group wakes up tomorrow and continue from where this ones stop abi

callthefred:
Obidients and Atiku are those who messed Fubara up. Bunch of terrible selfish leaders. They only care about themselves. They led Fubara on and discarded him when it mattered most.

You can imagine how Wike fought to ensure his boys return to loot the state, that's some leadership. Wike doesn't need those council funds but he knows what it means for your boys to be happy and they will die for you anytime anyday. Fubara was misled. Even Fubara alone tried but immediately he allowed Obi and Obidients and Atiku to put mouth for his case, he lost his guard.

Simi na man you be no doubt.

Wike only came back cos he has the backing of an irresponsible president who cannot uphold the constitution he's elected to defend

How can you suspend a democratic government and still be running a democratic exercise in it?

One man picked the LG chairmen and you think that's a win

casualobserver:
You see I always wonder when people come on platforms and say the X people or the Y people are not happy with Z. Then elections come and the X people and the Y people vote for Z.

To me it says either The people commenting are not in touch with the grassroots and it is not the people that are unhappy but the commentators.
I am not from Rivers and I don’t want to interfere or comment on Rivers affairs, my comment is a general one because I hear a lot of comments on Nairaland and other media with people usually Obidients saying “Nigerians are this”, “Nigerians are that”. It brings me back to something I always preach: Educated Nigerians who are the demographic that tend to make these comments, represent only 10% of the population. How many of them are in touch with the other 90%?

See poverty is a tool in the hands of politicians

Illiteracy is also one of their greatest tool

Any successful politician must be able to use these two tools effectively

Only those who master it, wins

fuckJones:
Law number one, Never outshine the master.

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite—inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.

Wike only had the support of an irresponsible president that's why you can say this

But one day all these would end

Softmirror:
Fubara miscalculated, his government would have been far more positively impartful than Wike's because that was Wike's intention of making him Governor so that he will be supported by his influence as a right hand man of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But, Fubara ended up befriend the politicians who are enemies of the people of Rivers State.

There is no doubt that the people of Rivers State see Wike as a man of honor and majority are very loyal to him.

Wike is indeed a FIELD MARSHAL in Nigeria's politics. He under studies every battle and knows how to win.

I hope Fubara has learnt his lessons. If he likes he should return to his old ways of being unreasonable. He will be checkmated by from every corner.

Every begining has an end, people more influential than Wike has gone down and nothing happened

He would be as if he never journey the face of earth at all

Where are the Adedibus and co today?

helinues:
International passport is not a must to obtain. Ordinary driving license, some people are even struggle to obtain it

Hope you are not using this braain to train kids Sha?

Any development or policy that is not geared towards the citizens living comfortably na wash

Tinibu just came to bobo us with different balablus

Racoon:
Just imagine the kinds of desperate power drunk tyrannical despots the govt of a misfit have given this nation. They are mannerless, insane, toxic, intolerant and grossly irresponsible because they don't want to be accountable for their misgovernance.

Person hand you 2k to vote for am, now you wan dey ask for accountability from him

dankol:

What's this information going to achieve??

helinues:
When the minimum wage was N30k, how much was the passport?

Always defending rubbish

The day wey hand go touch you outside henn

Softmirror:
Hustle o. Nobody pin you down! Hustle your life out of #70,000.

So we should go back to the days that you get scammed, get beaten by immigration officers just because you want passport?!

You can't eat your cake and still have it.

Most of una just talk recklessly

So the people being paid the minimum wage no dey hustle abi

I know you don't know anything called Dignity in Labour now

mjbaba:
No be this former LASTMA gadus be this?

Ok. He has been rewarded with national post

Baba just pack all him boys full government

I never seen this kind of government before

franchasng:
Even Nigerian Railway Corporation, Tinubu aka Emilokan also appointed a Yoruba man to head it.


Honestly Nigeria have never had it this bad when it comes to tribal ism, nepotism and incompetence.


Even the Buhari they use as an excuse for their brazen tri balism wasn't as bad as this

Not just a Yoruba ooo, former Commissioner of Transport in Lagos

This is totally out of hand

Are the students firefighters? Or are they water?

Make una tell us the truth: the APC terrorist group (refer to court ruling) most probably put a call across to their splinter cell called “bandits or Boko haram,” to plead for leniency as their plot this time has been exposed early.
