Tolu2024:
Why declare state of emergency for no reason?

The reason is crystal clear for all to see....


The twice bombing of oil pipeline facilities is an act of sabotage of the economic resources and a treasonable offence given that Gov. Fubara did not condemn that very act. It shows he is complicit directly or indirectly.
No governor or politician should do such as a way to settle scores against another politician. That alone is more than enough to get someone impeached and out in prison.

Why declare state of emergency for no reason?

The reason is clear for all to see.......very visible.

The twice bombing of the oil pipeline facilities is more than enough reasons for PBAT to declare a State of Emergency since Gov. Fubara intentionally and deliberately refused to condemn the sabotage of economic resources in Rivers State which he is the Chief Security Officer.
That act alone is way out of place for any politician to do because of personal conflict. It is an act of treason.

Rilwayne001:
Tinubu is turning this country to a one party system, just like he did in Lagos.

He seem to be the one that is organizing the coalition because rather for politicians to be joining the coalition, it’s him they are joining

Lagos State will be recaptured by Bode George....

I know you'll be happy if this happens....

There is no general collective winning for the masses except those who are on the side that wins and have their names written in places where they can get monthly welfare package in whatever form, from appointments to projects,etc, etc.....

I did not watch to listen to the video but if the headlines is what it is then Isaac Fayose does not know what he is saying and doesn't understand who the person of PBAT is in this age of politics.

Those persons who still think PBAT needs Rivers State money are very far from what politics is all about. They are just imagining things and say whatever comes out from their mouth.

My thoughts in the light of Tinubu's meeting with Sim Fubara in London.

I'm not a fan of tinubu's politics but honestly, this dude is going to be one of the smartest politicians Nigeria will ever have.

You must give it to him, baba is very logical in all he does....down to bad politics, thuggery and theft!

While there was all indication that tinubu and wike were working together to secure the resources of rivers state, I just couldn't see any good logic to it!

First off, a thief would choose a novice other than his fellow thief to secure a loot. Even wike himself knows this, reason why he chose fubara over all the arm-robbers around him to become governor.

Secondly, tinubu knows wike has aspirations to become president. This threatens his second tenure run as the next time a southerner may become president after 2027 is a very very long time, and he knows wike is not quite a patient fellow. So, common sense required that he aligned with fubara who has little or no interest for the federal.

Last but not the least. Sim Fubara is a democratically elected, constitutionally recognized governor for heck sake! Working with him is little or Zero risk compared to working with wike who has zero constitutional relevance as regards office, Tinubu Knows this. Forget all the gragra wike is doing, when push comes to shove, the constitution one way or the other would have to be upheld to save the nation global embarrassment. We are at that moment right now, and the president understands that wike is a dead weight that has to be cut loose hence the recent developments.

When all of these happens, wike will be sacked as fct minister. He will kick madly like a dying horse, but eventually give up. then slowly, he will float into oblivion never to be remembered again like one obi wali!

You are delusional when it comes to the subject matter.
You have no idea what manner of politics is being played.
Do you think PBAT will drop Wike even if Fubara donates his kidney ?


There's absolutely nothing Fubara can give that will make PBAT let go out Wike...

PBAT will never play that kind of politics. It is not good for him neither will it be good for the APC on the long term.

peleson1:
Wike is a liability and those not command the respect of the he people, not even in his ward .

Are you a part of his ward?

Wike, a liability to who, since when?

Which people are you referring to that he doesn't command respect from?

TimeManager:
The US generates electricity through Nuclear, Coal, natural gas , Wind, Hydro , Solar , Biomass & the likes. Must Nigeria then get stuck to only Hydro and gas?. What's wrong in using solar?
I thought you people always criticize as if you have new ideas in your heads.


-Kiss the truth!

The FG said that 10 billion is inclusive of maintenance. Do you have any idea that would be for how many years?


Now, using solar system means that lots of electrical appliances and equipments needa to be changed to solar efficient systems so that the solar power panels and batteries will last...

Otherwise one day we will be told some funny story.
Wearea people and as government needs to solve critical issues head on and not use back ways which are only short terms....

That 10 billion can ne used to invest in coal power, wind or biomass......if it's for the Aso Villa.....

Rebelutionary:
Very few people like you have their heads screwed tight! I couldn't like your post enough abeg.

Your post is quite insightful I must say and brings the "politics" behind all the drama into perspective. Fubara has his job cut out for him and he needs to know when to eat the humble pie, I mean stoop and not attempt to conquer.

He is no saint either in this game and the sooner he realises that Wike is no pushover, he will close his ears to all the whispers.

2027 is around the corner and 2025 wouldn't count for him.

There is an agenda and Fubara needs to position himself for this in-fighting is his opportunity to negotiate himself and play the real game with the men. But it's for him to know which side will strategically put him above his peers.
No be everything them dey teach person.
Those who have eyes and make use of their ears understand what is happening.

Leonardo4:
If Fubara promise Tinubu loyalty and it's genuine Wike will be useless. Wike cannot influence any south south state aside rivers.

You're definitely not good in politics and politicking.
You definitely don't know the person of PBAT.

PBAT will not backstab Wike no matter that loyalty Fubara will pledge even if he pledges with blood.
Wike proved his loyalty to a Southern President without having to having to go negotiate on any terms with PBAT.

Fubara does not have anything to bargain with. He can be given a benefit of doubt but no one will trust him till he has fulfilled what is required of him and even done beyond the expectations of the one he intends to please and find favour in.......

They are always fast to call America when they know they are doing evil.

The alternative source of power in the White House is more like an emergency source of power and it's for unforseen circumstances.

The FG is deliberately shying away from the responsibility from ensuring the power sector is fully effective and efficient.

Anyways it's kind of good though.
But I'll appreciate if the FG will just remove their hands from it completely and let all SG generate their power and distribution.

yahyus:
Point of correction, the governor is neither Hausa nor Fulani, he’s Nupe precisely. And the state is not in the North but in the Middle Belt (which is so much dear to you guys).

Middle belt is North Central. North Central is still North.
Just as you have South East is still South South and the Niger Delta is part of the Eastern part of Nigeria. Everything about the entire West remains West.
So till the North Central or Middle belt tells us that they are not part of the North, they will be considered so because they cling to whatever the North does and they seem not to think for themselves as a people. They are been led by others because they have not done away with those betrayals and saboteurs amongst them.

zoedew:
He will be required to ensure that the members of the House of Assembly are reelected. Fubara walks a tight rope. I hope unlike Wike he does not do alcohol otherwise the pressure will make him age faster in a manner worse than that of Wike who looks like one in his eighties though barely 60.

The re-election of those members lies in the hands of their constituents in their individual constituencies if they are given the ticket.
Fubara won't be asked to aid them in any way. They all knew how they were brought in.
Hope you know Wike is in charge of PDP South South.
There will have to be a concession on who controls the LGA chairmen and who brings who on board.

If Fubara is working a tight rope then it is self inflicted, but there's always a way around it. Politics is give and take depending on what are your immediate plans and as time moves on, you adjust.

Tradepunter2:
Fact is tinibu can work with fubaraa .... All he wants is for wike to chill out...... Wike in FCT is to protect tinibus interest there.... Tinibu can't afford to loose the south, since the north are making subtle move..... If the North presents obi I won't vote obi Because any choice must be organic not because of political movrs

Wike is already protecting PBAT's interest in FCT. Wike will not be casting his vote in FCT but in Rivers State.
PBAT will not loose the South neither will he loose the North. Everything is being done strategically. In due time it will all fall in place.
We will get to know those governors who ate two faced when the time reaches and also purported leaders in every region.

I hope the South East makes a good stand in the election and stay in the winning side.

ceejay80s:
The reason for all these killings in benue is because the governor is a priest and a Christian

Really......

If he is truly a priest and a Christian, he should know what to do.....
Being a governor is just to use state machinery to his godly cause.
If he is truly a priest called by God then let him do what he is supposed to do as a priest unto God.
A Priest ensures his followers and those he leads are safe, free and delivered from the dangers of the world caused by humans or satanic agents of darkness.

meditator:
Why should a responsible person keeps what's makes him/her look like a mad man ? It's one of the first signs of wayward upbringing

So if keeping dreadlocks is a sign of wayward upbringing, do you also know that making provocative statements and remarks against another, speaking out of contempt against another, not seeing good in others is also a sign of such upbringing.

Beremx:
I dunno how having dreads has become a crime.
The state governor is learned. He should do better

What is the proof that he is learned ?

Tolu2024:
If I were Fubara I will join APC and pledge my allegiance to Mr Pablo and cut off Wike. Promise Mr Pablo my full support

APC will not win Rivers State governorship election and Fubara will not do such thing.

Even PBAT will not advice Fubara to do that.
Fubara knows what to do but let him come clean with PBAT and he will be adviced.
PBAT respects both Fubara and Wike and will not be found to favour one over another, but he respects loyalty and honoring agreements as long as the other don't go back to play back stabbing.....

Urgent1Million:
Wike will be briefed.
He'll soon pay for a media chat to scatter area as usual.
Tinubu wants to extract a commitment from Fubara without running it through Wike.
What a smart move; maybe not the smartest of moves!

PBAT does not want to seem like he is playing by the books of Wike, afterall he was once a governor, more than 16 years ago and Wike was a governor.
PBAT wants to ensure he plays a fatherly figure to Fubara but it's left for Fubara to accept it or not.
But PBAT will not truncate Wike's roles in Rivers State politics.
Fubara needs to be guided if he desires to go far in politics especially go ahead into national politics rather than remain in State politics.
Fubara alone should decide, but he should also he will have to give something tangible to PBAT to hold onto, not that PBAT may ask it of him but I think Fubara should do what is right if he knows what is right and not play like he is a saint....
PBAT respects Wike and knows he has someone to lean on to in Wike in the South South but what can Fubara bring to the table.
That is what it is.....

It's so unfortunate that the body of Christ has not come together in unity to nip these issues in the bud.

It's also unfortunate that many have refused to resort to self defence and waiting for the government to come to their rescue...

The major reason why we are even discussing such is because many of us are just a religious people with religious beliefs, systems and practices handed to us.
We have no true relation with God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit though many will claim that they have.

Many are walking and operating under the influence of religious and doctrinal spirits handed down to the churches or ministries we belong to.

tunapawizzy:
Honest question here and i am asking you this respectfully, why MUST husband and wife attend the same church. What is the trouble that is likely to happen if they don't attend same church, and why

We all say that we are Christians ( bearing from different ministry and churches) but do we have the same doctrine and beliefs systems though we claim our roots is from Christ Jesus.
Many are practicing religion and not necessarily Christians.


The trouble can't be discussed or deliberated upon.
But imagine one who believes in prosperity gospel as we see it and the other disagrees on such........do you not know that alone is a problem.
These things are spiritual in nature and not the natural way we term it.

LawWithEbele:
Vanguard, 7th April edition, reported how a wedding was called off because the bride allegedly refused to follow the groom to his church. Both were Christians but of different denominations.

This is a sober reminder of the need to address certain issues before saying “I do.”
Don’t assume all is well just because you’re in love. Infatuation fades, but the issues you ignore today may become the cracks in your marriage tomorrow.

Ask the hard questions:

What church will we both attend?

How will we handle finances, joint account or separate?

How involved will in-laws be in our decisions?

What’s our stance on parenting and discipline?

Are we on the same page about roles and expectations in marriage?

Most divorce cases don’t start with big fights. They begin with these “little foxes” that go unchecked and gradually eat away at the foundation.

So what’s your take, must a woman follow her husband to his church? Or should they both find a common ground?

What other important matters do you think couples should settle before tying the knot?

Let’s talk. You just might help someone avoid a broken engagement or a broken home.

Sometimes we say we are christians but we are just far from such and are only just a religious people who have no relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.



This is what the Scripture says.....


Eph.5.22 - Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Eph.5.23 - For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
Eph.5.24 - Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Eph.5.33 - Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.




The moment a woman is bond to a man in marriage she can't make any decision on her own whatsoever without the man agreeing to i and i mean critical decisions aa it affects the family. Such issues affects the family if not properly handled.

Except the man has given her the go ahead to operate as she likes.


Only those who understands spiritual things will know what I'm saying.


If a woman has the intention of attending a separate church (her church different from that of the husband) assuming the husband has a church he attends and a member of such, then such should be discussed and agreed upon by them and no external interference before they settle down to marry.


The real question to ask is if both husband and wife attends different churches, whose church will the children attend till they are of mature age to attend theirs assuming they are still leaving in the same house with their parents?



All of us claim we are christians but we do know that all churches have different doctrines and beliefs systems even though we may say that our roots is of Christ Jesus. Many don't believe in the Holy Spirit and miracles.

Now, the Scripture says, "train up a child in the way he should go so that he would not depart from it when he is old."

Now, if both parents attend different churches, which way( doctrine) would you teach your child to abide to and walk in.....
We do know most of us beliefs are tied to our churches and not necessarily what is written in the Scripture.

Ridross:
I’m currently studying for my first degree in Statistics. I can graduate with a 2.1 effortlessly, but getting a first-class would require a bit effort. My issue is that I’m already balancing a job , plus I’m feeling lazy and unmotivated about school.

For those who have graduated and have experience about the labour market, please:

Are there any significant advantages to having a first-class over a 2.1?
Did it make a difference in your career, further studies, or job opportunities?

I need real-life experiences and opinions to convince me whether to put in the effort or just avoid unnecessary stress.

What's the relationship between bolded 1 and bolded 3 ?

An education above secondary school is not actually compulsory but a necessity if you're looking to be employed by another.

Ideally your chances of getting a job offer is high and high expectations are also required by your employer from you.....
Just having a first class effortlessly should not be your point of call but been able to defend your certificate when the time arises in season and out of season.

I have a friend who was a barber who never dreamt of having a job in the place he is because he had no one to help me.
It was one of his clients who came to have his hair cut and asked him what he studied and what he graduated with.......he studied mechanical engineering and with a 2.1....
The man just requested for his CV and that was how he went to Milan for training and is now in a managerial position in one of the OICs. This happened about 17 years ago.

You never know when it would come handy.
Also depend on God in all your endeavors.

Is it a good idea to build a generator house directly under the tank stand? I am worried that about having an empty unutilized space under the tank stand when I am quite pressed for space in the compound, and I am a big fan of having the generator house with some electrical connections separate from the main house. Having the tank stand and generator house cleverly joined together could help me kill 2 birds with one stone

I don't think it's a good idea if the tank stand is going to be of metal/steel usage for it's construction.

I have been banned severally and I'm yet to even understand why I'm banned.

I keep wondering the instructions given to the bot that's making it do what it does....!!!!

The making of the FCT civil service commission, did that upgrade not come with some been made permanent secretaries, directors, heads of departments, etc, etc,.... Was that not part of welfare of the people ans civil service.....


I remember there were some staffs I can't remember the sector that wanted to go on strike when he was initially made the FCT Minister, did he not settle their demands. The FCT Minister was even the first person to even pay something close if not more than the the prescribed minimum wage even before the NLC and FG got into talks.



The medical doctors who were complaining not quiet long that they would go on strike, are they not quiet now......what does that tell you?


Did he not buy cars and shared for the lucky persons in FCT whether they are of the political party that they can use for transportation....

Is he not renovating the primary and secondary schools within the municipal areas in Abuja ?


Which areas to be specific is he yet to touch that has not affected the welfare of the people positively directly or indirectly?
