Having lost at the Court of Appeal, I am afraid, so afraid, Fubara the governor of Rivers State is gone.

It's not rocket science. He is gone for good. He most likely would not survive this.

He would most likely get impeachment proceedings served on him.

I tell you, the Supreme Court is going to throw this case for many reasons. I'd mention two:

1. Who declares a seat vacant - Is it you Mr. Governor, or a competent court of law?

If it is not you, Mr. Gov., then until the latter has done so, it is not fitting for you to act in that capacity. The National Assembly is supposed to take legislative duties of Rivers state before the budget would be passed since five people cannot be said to form a quorum.

2. When the defected lawmakers changed party, what proof is there from the new party's register that they actually did.

Just because Mr. A said he's moved from A to B or from B to C doesn't make it pass the muster of legality. The law doesn't see these lawmakers as defectors because they said so, until their new parties can prove it.

Fubara is in a deep mess. How would he escape?

The most painful part of this story is the fact that (despite spending billions on this project) only a handful, a very tiny remnant actually get hired to work for them.

If you go there looking for work as a hustler that you are, they would tell you that the men in charge have not given a go-ahead to hire. If you are privileged to work for them, they would deduct a sizable chunk of your earnings for late-coming.

It is what it is. Nigeria. I fucking hate this country.

As a teacher in a public school in Kwara state, my salary and palliative is #55k (45+10k palliative).

I came here begging when my wife put to bed and no one offered any financial assistance, a moderator even banned me till 2026

How did you get a teaching appointment with Kwara state government?

I went there some times back and the teaching board said their hands are tied.

A minister who is an employee of the president is using the police to fight a governor of a state under the president’s watch?

Even as bad as Buhari’s government was, Osinbajo promptly fired the DSS director when they orchestrated the NASS fiasco

Only a weak and irresponsible leader allows their employee to abuse their power right in front of their nose.

i agree. This is all Tinubu's fault.

jchioma:
A nonpartisan police would have challenged the court judgment on the basis of their constitutional right as a matter of fact. But from indications we all know the camp the police under Egbetokun belongs to.

A nonpartisan police force should have challenged the court judgment on the basis of their constitutional duties as a security agency.

The Police have a duty to maintain law and order, provide security especially during elections, etc, and no court of law has any rights to enforce a non sequitur on them.

I agree!

Sonofgod1990:
I will look into it

Lol. Okay, please do.

Sonofgod1990:
An adult

Hmm. Okay. It seems necessary for me then to give you an advice since you are an adult.

Always help men. Help men regardless of what they exhibit from time to time. Always help them.

It could have been a woman who left you at that critical point of need. It could have been anyone. It could have been your mother, your sisters, or your female siblings - who abandoned you and then left you out in the cold to die and rot. It could have been anyone. Sainthood, being empathetic, showing care, respect, and love are not gender-based attributes. Man is not a monolith. Our character isn't, either.

Always help men, never fail to do so, bro. Let me talk about helping women since that is what you think is right. See, when you help men, you implicitly help women. A woman looks to men or a fatherly figure for help, but who does a man look up to?

If you had helped that man with the 5k, he would have probably helped his wife or his daughters. it doesn't matter. I don't know him from anywhere and we are not in connivance.

Always help men bro, never fail to. Besides, we are all men. No exceptions. All of us. Some of us have wombs, we call them women, and some of us don't, but it doesn't change anything. The women you are talking about are actually... MEN! God himself is a spirit... M*N. If the most excellent, the most beautiful, the most perfect, the most clean, the most powerful, the most loving, honest, faithful, principal and essential of all beings is a man, an excellent man, a powerful man, an eternal man, an omniscient man, then surely you ought to help your fellow man. God will help you to see women beyond her boobs and vagina, and see her as a man. The one from whom other beings have their being is a spirit M*N, then surely, oh surely you ought to help your fellow man. Always help men regardless of their gender, bro.

Regardless of what laxity they might display in the past. Regardless of how lazy they have become. You need men more than you need woMEN. God will give you wisdom to see the truth of what I am saying.

My fellow nigga should go and hustle his own money. I can only buy beer for niggas only when I get in contact with them in a beer lalor. I give you alcohol dat all
And secondly na woman sort me out when I was into poverty. My Rich niggas no help me even when Dem know say I don suffer

How old are you? Sorry to ask.

Sonofgod1990:
Yeah dude

So let me get you right: you only help women, not a fellow man like yourself?

Sonofgod1990:
Eyaaaa. Sorry I Don't give my money to a man like me. Sorry for that. Could have run you like 5k shaa

Are you fucking serious?

SPF247:

Una dey chop back to back oo.

AntiChristian:
Show the place please?

Look at this verse, Mathew 5 verse17: “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose."

What does Christ mean by "accomplishing their purpose" as he said here? Or, let me ask you a different question, how does Christ intend to accomplish the law as given to Moses on Mount Sinai? Or to fulfill the requirements of the law as some other translations put it.

If God give you his life-giving laws and by his special providence, you met a weirdo on the streets who said - Don't worry AntiChristian, I can actually help you in fulfilling these laws, what would you think he meant?


Like you, I would be like, can another human like me actually help in fulfilling (becoming a solution) to the laws God gave me?

Let me flip the switch, if your teacher gave you assignment to be submitted on a Monday morning and by some special miracle, a weirdo on the street helped you in solving and fulfilling the requirements in the assignment, would it mean you are still bound by the requirements of the assignment and thus, you have to keep attempting the assignment?

I have other passages but we must take it one at a time. Answer these questions first.

Indigbo:
Five kobo

I remember giving you an advice (or is it spelled advise sef) a while back on your selections.

This is just so fucking mad.

Man, man! If it's the 300k to return 900k ticket, then you must push something for men. .

As one of the members of Nairaland council of punters' advisers, I have been so unlucky in my own journey, though, lol.

Indigbo:
Time to cash out two different games?

How much was your stake?

AntiChristian:
Show it please?

There are many passages in the gospel account where it is reported that Christ said he is the accomplishment/fulfillment of the law.

This essentially means what Paul said.

I don't know how you can make wild claims while being ignorant of all Christ is reported to have said.

dauntless15:
Sometimes making problems go away quietly is cheaper than trying to claim you're the bigger man, if he had just refunded quietly he wouldn't be loosing a whooping 4billion, I don't get why these so called rich people love holding onto money especially when they feel they're powerful and can get away with things, the money he refused to refund is change to him I can bet on that, but he just refused to let it go now he's been forced to pay 4bil. Who loose now?

Man's biggest problem, or one of his biggest devil, is that he is in capable of sound thoughts.

People do not think a right most times. They just do what seems convenient for them at the moment and then later, they think.

I hope he pays through the sweat of his brows so that in his next life, he would learn not to shortchange people who need his services.

AntiChristian:
Paul is just saying what Christ didn't say himself!

Christ did tell the rich ruler that to gain eternal life obey the commandments first, sell everything you have and donate to the poor and follow me!

Christians can't do this hence Paul created another way for them to avoid obedience to the law!

Are you sure Christ didn't say he's the end of the law?

Odin13:
The Yoruba adopted Demi god is scared .. and so scared.

I am wondering too, but there is more to it.

Man is chiefly selfish and does what benefits him foremost.

The defection of his party chairmen should be a big positive to the PDP who now have RIvers in their grasp.

Some days ago some pro-Wike protesters were seen protesting against the election holding, but I honestly do not know why they are aagainst it since the "Judases" have distanced themselves.

Odin13:
The loquacious idiot … has now became a shadow of those cowards supporting and cheering him..

The cowards has tag him the number 2 man in the country

Wike. Has gone west…


Now so scared of Fubara and. Even fear his own structure after. The whole bragging and cheers

Cowardness now runs in him.

His insistence on the election not holding seems like a man who has gone nuts, but it is important to know why.

If party APP says X is their preferred candidate for ward M and the PDP say Y is their preferred candidate for the same ward, then what is the fuss about.

If anything, the PDP stands a better chance because they are well-known and have the structure already.

rebdisir:
Fubara wants to take over the grassroots structure. Wike still needs the structure because he needs to stay relevant to be president in future.

Take the grassroots structure, as in how?

You vote whom you want and I want whom I want. I don't exactly get it.

Is the structure a matter of party or a candidate? If either party want to rig the election, then they can certainly do it irrespective of the party, so what is the fuss. The electorate would vote the APP or PDP candidate as the case may be, so what is this all about?

I am not privy to the facts, so I am not taking sides. I am just asking questions.

What I know is that the Supreme court ruled on Local government autonomy which made it mandatory for local government chairmen to be democratically elected.

Some states like mine have done theirs, but others like Rivers haven't.

The Rivers state governors directed his caretaker chairmen to be enfranchised under APP.

That is all I know.

I don't see the problem here. All the parties are on the ballot, so why is Wike adamant that elections must not hold?

KingAzubuike:
Yes it was altered. An example is isaiah 7:14 in the original Tanakh, the word used was a young damsel. Christians changed it to virgin.

You are quite funny. You talk as if there are passage after passage of alterations that makes the text (note, I didn't say, the two text) distinct.

First off, it depends on the Bible translation. My translation adds a footnote that says "Or young woman." It seems to me that the Hebrew word used here could also mean a virgin - otherwise the Apostle Mathew would not make reference to that passage of the Old Testament calling her a virgin. There are many Hebrew words that have multiple meanings in the bible. Even English language have words with multiple meanings: when we say bank, could it be a financial institution or a riverbank or a.... and since the context revolves around a miraculous sign for the king, Ahaz, it would be a batshit something to call the Christian text an alteration. Do you have any idea the number of text in scriptures that is interpreted differently where not a single religious creed, christian doctrines, or beliefs can be attached to the said passage whatsoever?

KingAzubuike:
Which he that keepeth Israel? If you don't know, Christianity is a very small minority in Israel. The two major religions are Judaism and Islam.
Christianity focuses mainly on what a person believes while Judaism's focus is on what a person does in life.

Judaism has the Tanach (Jewish Bible), which is made up of Torah (Teachings), Nevim(Prophets), Ktuvim (Writings). Christianity has the Old Testament, which was based on the Tanach but was altered to support the teachings of Christianity, and the New Testament. Jews do not consider the Old Testament to be a valid religious text. I can go on and on.

Both Christianity and Judaism focus on what we do, not on what we believe alone. As the Apostle James puts it: Faith (belief) without works is dead.

Judaism and Christianity use the Tanakh. The Jewish Tanakh (Note, I said the Jewish Tanakh) have some extra appendages that are purely cultural in scope. Now you said, the Christian Tanakh was altered to support Christian teaching. How? Where? In which specific instance? Please, stop peddling falsehood.

Softmirror:
Israel is just an extension of America. The real Israel is extinct long time ago. That's a fact.

Can you prove that the Israelis of modern times as we see them today are nowhere close - racially, ethnically - to the Israelis of biblical/ancient times? Prove it to me that the Israelis (as they are today in Israel) are no descendants of Jacob, the patriarch.

Reggaero:
same to me and i dont know why

Na 1 game or 2 games dey always spoil my ticket's

Your own sef better. My own plenty. I am just too paranoid.

Chai! Barcelona don score again. Chai

I know dey ever win bet. EVER!

Wetin una think?

Seriously, you're good to go.

In your selection, the only team I would be weary of is Arsenal. Chelsea should whip Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge. The team plays with too much extra energy and Man City always show their class, lol.
