Ayo25:
BAT will win 2027 by atleast 4 millions votes

I do know that the margin will be interestingly high that even going to court by the opposition will be laughable.


But Lagos State will be recaptured by Bode George.

Juliearth:
The answer is B, that is not being able to read and write in English or any Language. I believe that a person who can read and write in his lingua franca should be considered literate. I stand to be corrected.

The correct answer is B. I knew that sometime in 2022 during a training I attended.


It's the same thing when people think the word "Learned" is only for lawyers while many don't even know it's real meaning they take whatever they are being told.

Bwanasaraw:
When will Governor Diri construct major infrastructural projects in Bayelsa State that will benefit the masses.

Hahahaha...


Bayelsa State has not seen electricity for more than 6 months ans counting and you're talking of major infrastructural projects........

The people in the State have very myopic thoughts and speeches.
They can sweet mouth you but it's all empty.

Well it's good everyone goes ahead and scheme their way through politics.

But one thing very clear is that PBAT will win his second tenure with an outstanding vote count.
We all know that Atiku is but the only Northern candidate that is formidable to contend with PBAT.
But this time, the South will have it's two term of 8 years fulfilled.

There will be alot of shockers and many will be saying what they don't understand but it's all a game.

Vadese1:
Liar. 5 dollars will buy you lunch in US depend on what you want to eat. As a matter of fact the last time I traveled, the jumbo chicken I bought was 5 dollars . I couldn't finish it for two weeks

You bought jumbo chicken for 5 dollars and you couldn't finish it for two weeks......
Interestingly, I don't think you're a heavy eater.

I don't know whats the size of your jumbo chicken but there are those who would eat it within three days if I were to eat it mixed with other food items.
Otherwise if it's just only the chicken, that just breakfast, launch and dinner with my packet of juice or bottle of yogurt and it's finished.

mrkia:
The man made some senses here. I remember during the just concluded, I ate lunch (3 rolls of sermo though very small with 2 meats and maybe plus like 2 sachet of water) with just something that is not up to N1.5k in Okinni area of Osun state.

I know some people won't believe this.

We go believe you but the thing be say, how many people such 3 rolls go belle full...... something wey go belle full one before.

$10 won’t buy you lunch in U.S, but $1 will get you meal in Nigeria – Tope Fasua, SSA to Tinubu

All this rubbish is just to confuse themselves with their jibbering gibberish.

They created an artificial inflation when they removed subsidy, floated the naira without first putting policies that will take the shock on the economy and masses...
They blamed the bureau du change people and those and cryptocurrency traders.

That did not stop transport cost from increasing and food prices from increasing...

They promised to pay civil servants a better minimum wage with a promise that prices of petrol will not be increased.....

Note, that the proposed minimum wage if you compared with the dollar equivalent, it was better off 16 years ago...
I mean life should be better every years.....but it looked like the backwardness was something one couldn't talk about....


When they had not paid the minimum wage the petrol price went further up which resulted in it's ripple effects of all other things associated with it.

The people in the power and electricity industry came with an increase in bills and likened it to that it's even cheaper in Nigeria than in America...
The telecom guys came and increased, even the Minister said that they needed the increase to be able to upgrade their facilities and equipments for better service provision.......I guess the Minister was just trying to humor us......

House rents have increased astronomically....
School fees have increased as well....

Now, we are being told that one can get a decent meal for #1500.....has he moved round the country or he is saying what he likes.

What does he mean by a decent meal.....
Is it that food that you'll eat and before 30 minutes out of there or even less, you're still hungry again.


Or like a family friend said who is doing his nysc in markudi, that there's a place he buys a plate of food for #500 and it satisfies him...
I guess we should all relocate to such places...

tundegan:
Tinubu na man.

I love the way he is taking the fight to the bandits and terrorists.

PBAT is not taking any fight to any bandit. That's just a talk show.
It's a very deliberate act for some persons who are trying to ensure that communities in the North Central part of Nigeria are plundered and they lay claim to their lands and they have extended their plundering into some part of the Eastern side of the country... But successive FG administrations have done nothing meaningful and significant to solve this issue once....
But if we hear that those same persons are bring killed in the Southern part or Eastern part of the country, the FG and security agencies will be looking for who to apprehend.

aswani:
Very important this part you said.

I am yet to hear one politician, just one, that said his political roots stem from Peter Obí. A governor that sat for 8 good years.

Just mind boggling.

Everything about PO is just a one man show.
He is not a team player. He doesn't mix in public.

Pierocash:
yes it came from him directly not a beer parlour gist

Please in which forum did he say such?

musicwriter:
The highest office in Kano state is the office of the governor, and that office has installed SLS as the Emir.

SLS cannot be harassed without federal support.

Was it with federal support that he was dethroned in the first instance?

Was it with federal support SLS was installed during the administration of PGEJ?

Forget all these sentiments.
Many of you wanted things to go your way but since it ain't going as planned you're complaining !!!!!

musicwriter:
You're not talking to a kid unless you're one. Any adult understands what's going on.

Rivers and Kano are all about 2027. It doesn't matter in what guise. Not that I am against politics but play clean politics and not be bent on unseating legally constituted leaders.

How is it about 2027 ?

Was it PBAT who made the former governor of Kano dethrone Emir SLS and install another?

Were they not all the ones who installed SLS in the first instance even though the kingmakers of the royal houses in Kano had already penciled Bayero's name for the throne?

Did they not make SLS the Emir just because they wanted to spite PGEJ and also ensure PGEJ did not use the security agencies arrest SLS....


If you keep saying it's all about 2027, then you're saying, then PBAT must be Nostradamus to have pte-determined all these issues and caused it to happen......

ddippset:
All this wahala, you call it a greedy godfather.

The most greedy godfather in the history of Nigeria, I dare say!

We have had very many godfathers in recent times; Adams Oshiomole, Nasir El Rufai, George Akume, Udom Emmanuel, Seriake Dickson, Kashim Shetima, even Bola Tinubu himself..

Never have we heard that a godfather chose a CSO (Chief Security Officer) for his successor..
How do you make your successor inherit your own CSO?
Who does that?

Not only that, he chose;

Deputy Governor
Chief of Staff
SSG
All 32 Assembly members
All 19 commissioners but one
All LGA chairmen

Haba!

He most definitely did not anoint Fubara because he loved him the most.
He obviously anointed him because he saw in him a yes man, a stooge, the "mumu", who could never muster the courage to challenge his authority,
Through whom he could actualize his third term bid, and maintain control of the state for another 8 years...


Many would ask the question; why did Sim accept the position if he knew he couldn't do it?

I bet Sim couldn't have known everything he was going to be subjected to eventually..

For instance there was no way Sim could have imagined that he would be forced to accept all commissioners, inherit a Chief Security Officer, forced to accept an SSG and a Chief of Staff;; afterall most of these appointments come after swearing in and settling in.

And what about all the financial obligations??
Who says bigger demands were not made?

When we all woke up to the attempted impeachment of Fubara on the morning of 31st October 2024, Sim posed a question;;

"What did I do to warrant this impeachment? I challenge you to tell the world"

Of course no response came,,
No response could come until months later when they came with a afterthought that Sim himself tried to impeach Martin Amaehule...

Lol..a story only for the minds of idiots to ponder...

How does Sim try to impeach Amaehule only 5 months in power?

At that point he didn't even have 1 single assembly member to his side,(Edison had barely joined him),
he didn't have any LGA chairman, he didn't have any commissioner on his side.

Infact he was still alone and he tried to impeach Martin Amaehule?



Las Las, Tinubu knew the solution to this problem,, but Tinubu himself is an interested party..
But he sold the world a dummy, playing a make-belief that he was a neutral on looker..

At the end of the day, all Sim supporters can be proud, he didn't bow and cow like some other governor did to a Lagos godfather.

He stood up to a big bully, greedy godfather, who needed an SOE declaration from a commander in chief to save face!

Your entire write up is purely borne out of emotions and sentiments.

You clearly mentioned purported godfathers and you're trying to liken them to Wike alongside their predecessors...
You will keep getting it wrong and blaming PBAT who had nothing to do with what both men had in agreement...!!!!

Since you want PBAT to favour Gov. Fubara eve though PBAT was not a witness to whatever agreement Wike and Fubara had or whatever or you want PBAT to interfer in Rivers State politics.....

Now, if PBAT had taken sides with Gov. Fubara since that is what you want him to do since it is what you would have done.....

Even POBJ even have Gov. Fubara an advice which got me laughed because POBJ has forgotten what he was as president did to certain State governors who were against him or in his black book....


Now, if PBAT had sided with Fubara, would PBAT have the guts to tell Wike that which he told him during his birthday celebration about Wike not using the ministerial appointment to work against the APC !!!!!!

oluwaseyi0:
He will be up against a strong labour party especially considering it's Peter Obi state and Obi will be campaigning against him

Hahaha....
PO campaigning against APGA the party under whose flag he became governor...

Well the day another party wins APGA governorship in Anambra then I know.......

InvertedHammer:
/
The summary of the story is that he was not anywhere near the scene of the attack on that day. Infact I doubt if he was anywhere in Edo State on that fateful day. BBC?

ddippset:
People who are able to manipulate the Judiciary are far worse than the most hardened criminals and mass murderers.

I hereby predict today that PDP's Presidential primaries will be stopped by the courts...

Idiots running a party..

You gave an aggrieved party member, a lose canon "permission" to serve as a minister in the government of one of the most ruthlessly desperate Presidents ever!


Una dey learn work?

This man has vowed many times to work for Tinubu in 2027 and they are still petting him.

Wow!

The president was for the South South.
Atiku made his choices and we have seen all there is and there's more coming if they continue with their methods though the South will complete the 8 years.
There's no room for emotions and sentiments.

tishbite43:
They had no power over that
Tinubu addressed the letter to Sim Fubara then
What would have Fubara done??
Wike had full control of his government before he rebelled

As for your second point, I don't know why he hasn't been expelled yet

Look around the entire South South and the entire Nigeria of those who are in the PDP past members and those still in ,, how many have what it takes to maintain the party if the party is to be still formidable?

Pierocash:
lol. A lot of you sound laughable. So Jonathan is envious of Wike? I think you are high on drugs. The same wike himself is not happy about the State of emergency. Or you think it is to his favour? No. How can you demand 6b from state allocation every month and you expect the governor to comply? Only a mentally deranged individual will be against Fubara. Fubara and the elders stood for what is right, no one man can control the destiny of a whole state. You can support your own state governor to do same, but allow those with sense reject such evil

Has Gov. Fubara come out to say that Wike is demanding #6Billion every month....
I've not heard that from the governor and I don't do such beer parlour talks....

PaChukwudi44:
You yorubas and mouth

It seems like Yoruba have a way of talking and you know them by such....
Good of you....
Continue.

Where I come from we don't make mouth.....

Urgent1Million:
It's because they've not sacked and jailed a judge for this kind of nonsense pronouncement.
If the national judicial commission uses one stupid judge as a scapegoat, the rest will have sense.

There's no court judge that will be sacked if it just this......
There's absolutely no law any where that restrains a court from settling issues amongst members of the association.

You can't tell me if I don't like the way it then I should leave and go form mine.....
Why don't the other person leave as well!!!!!

DMerciful:
The leadership of political parties are internal affairs of the parties.

These lower courts nor dey hear word?

Really......
If it was an internal issue of the party, was it not the aggrieved members who went to the Court to seek an injunction to not allow that South South Zonal stuff and afterwards another went seeking to nullify the election of the said members !!!!!!

They are playing with themselves....

zero8zero:
The only thing saving Governor Abba Yusuf is immunity, this was the second time he would be disregarding police warnings in Kano over security issues and his neglect for the warnings led to loss of lives. If not for immunity, he would have been thrown into DSS custody. How can leaders of a state disrespect security institutions and what do you expect of ordinary citizen if you yourself is a bad example of a leader. Do you think security is a joke?. And Sanusi must also face the music, both Sanusi and Bayero were asked to cancel the durbar activities based on security reports, while Bayero cancelled all activities totally, Sanusi was gallivanting across the streets in procession. He likes unnecessary showmanship.

The Northern Fulani sadistic people don't give respect to Southerners.
I guess the blood in them is different from the rest of us since they are descendants of Utham Dan Fodio......

So they want to use their Northern oligarchy to prove to us that they are all and others are nothing.

But they will learn in a way they never expected. The bands will be broken one at a time.

Okwyjesus:
Even the PRESIDENT took side. It's not beyond him to settle the issue with enforcing state of emergency

The peace meeting that PBAT gave to Gov. Fubara why did the governor not fulfill it entirely?
Was he not the one who went to solicit the assistance of PBAT?

Pierocash:
Wike paid apologists . If all elders like Goodluck Johnathan that everyone knows as a peaceful man takes side with Fubara , and all reasonable elders with him , does that not tell you that Wike is the one on the wrong side , and he is still hell-bent in having his way as the only criteria for peace, and you expect them to accept? It won't work

You really don't know what is happening other than the facial expressions of people who are full of hypocrisy......

The former presidents' home State is in darkness for more than 6 months and nothing absolutely is been done thats significant.

About three or thereabout northern states did not have electricity for just 3 days and PBAT was aware and he gave a firing order and that light was fixed sharply.


Do you really think this so called Ijaw elders and leaders have the interest of the people or it's just how to get their fill of the treasury any means necessary......

Wike will be laughing at them because many feel they are better than him and are just jealous of his achievements which they had dreamed but he is going places.....

They asked us to alight from the vehicle and without saying much, one of them hit our leader on the shoulder with an axe," Abubakar Shehu, 20, told BBC Pidgin.


There's something wrong about the bolded.....
This is where I'll say there are certain details left out....
Without much questioning, someone hit their leader with an axe!!!!!
It might be true or not but if it's true then that fellow was absolutely on a mission.....
But the security agencies has to really investigate this issue and find out what really happened.....
May it not be that the North are given a special treatment when it comes to things like this though it's not surprising.....
The Nigerian Government and FG has never come to the aids of those who are non Muslims and from the South South who also have suffered from the plundering of the Northern Muslims.....

PresidObi:
See who's talking, you had the chance to bow out and support a younger candidate and you chose to continue running till they run you out of the ring. Let me see who will sponsor your next presidential election as Wike is losing Rivers treasury.

I dedicate this post to Peter Oluwabash Obi, the only Nigerian who has a manic wand that can save agbadorianss from a hungry filled future.

Interesting, please remove sentiments and hatred from your speech.
PO is and can never be the magic wand to Nigeria's challenges. PO is like every glorified alumnus institution.

Now....
Was it Wike that funded PBAT election that brought him into office?

Why do you think Wike now needs Rivers State money to do it in the next election?


You really don't understand the real fight in Rivers State.
Please kindly tell PO and others not to go to Rivers State and solicit for electoral vote. They should do something else.

The next election will be a shocker to all the opposition.

Chae:
Guru can one use plastering sand for casting a colum?

Now that you've thought of it and asked if possible.....
Please don't try such in the site for use in building construction purposes to avoid stories you won't like to take to heart.
Thank you.

MEND001:
Can I really achieve this? I want to embark on a 3 bedroom bungalow project in a community in Delta state. Aside having 100 bags of cement and 4 trips of sand. I have nothing else. Although I have a steady income which I can save 900k monthly after all expenses. I had intended too proceed on this project base on this. But seen online that such project can take up too 50m to finish scared of embarking on the project.

There's absolutely nothing to be scared of.
If you have an existing building design plan, you can get the services of a QS to assist you in coming up with a working plan based on stage by stage construction works.


Or you get the services of an actual engineer or builder you intend to use to give you a breakdown quotation based on stages to enable you plan and have an idea of what it will cost you.

Shawarmagirl:
And one idiot want my children to come down Nigeria to experience this. God forbid. The day Peter Obi will dig bolehole for them, agbadorian will wail and call it names. Chai! May God heal their land.

A presidential candidate/ aspirant dug borehole without appropriate standard water tank stand......

An SSA procured a water tanker to facilitate portable water to the residents of the area.....


Take a look at the status and capacity of both persons....


What exactly is the difference if I may ask?



Put aside any form of sentiment, tribal, regional, religious, party affiliation....


Reason the entirety of both persons!!!!

Macphenson:
When Peter Obi was donating bore hole to remote communities in the North, APC charlattans were all over the media space ranting foolishly and calling him names. Now their President cannot even donate bore hole to communities. They are sending water tanker that is not up to #50,000 with a rickety old vehicle.


Even Okezie Ikpeazu kerosene as widely condemned better pass this Tinubu gesture to this community.

It's alarming bad.
But for you to say that the water is not up to #50,000.......haba....

Did he pick the water truck and was the water freely gotten from the presidential villa and the truck is running on solar power?

I hope the judge knows what he is doing!!!!

Anyways those people claiming Bayelsa Ijaw who don't have power supply in their Ijaw land for how many months are celebrating mediocrity.

mrksquare:
Is there a role known as Sole Administrator in the constitution?

And you clearly displayed your ignorance on the subject matter of declaration of asset. Even Civil servants at Federal, States and Local Government from the level of Assistant Director through Perm are expected to declare their asset. Ditto the military hierarchy from Brigadier General through General. Ditto Universities, VCs Professors, Bursar and other directorate staff.


That of the political level, President, Vice President. All legislature both at the Federal and State level. Chief Judges of the Federation and all Supreme court judges. All Appeal court judges. All High court Judges. All governors. All deputy governors. All Ministers at the Federal level. All Commisoners. All councilors. All Assistant directors at the Local Government level.


As long as you are controlling a budget head or you are incharge of public finance in Nigeria, you are expected to declare your assets.

Now to my argument, The sole Administrator is the one controlling all revenue from the Federation Account accruable to Rivers state for now and as well as the State IGR. He is technically controlling that of the State Local Government for now. I refer you to section 140 of the 1999 constitution as amended.


Declaration of asset is usually done upon assuming a public office and also at the expiration of holding a public office. So the sole Administrator isn't exempted from it.

Please go to court or ask those civil liberty groups to do same if they know the laws....
