That's what Fubara could have done. Appoint people temporary for that LG chairman position.

Iba wouldn't have dissolved it

Nope.
Remember that appointment of caretaker chairmen is alien to the constitution of the FRN and unlawful.
What Gov. Fubara should have done was to follow the directives and advice of the Ahmaewule led RSHA regarding that notice of how to go about the LG elections which would have been done properly and we would not be here we are or the elected LG chairman will not also be suspended but I guess emotions, ego and superiority went into play and this is the outcome of bad choices.

Willy2025:
Does he have to appoint Administrators? Why not simply reconcile the warring parties and leave the state? Ibas is overstepping his bounds. I heard his wife has equally taken over the office of the first lady. Let him go to his state and contest for the office of the governor if he is so hungry for power

It is not his duty to bring peace to the warring parties.
He was brought in to ensure the State runs it's process especially in the payment of salaries to every civil and public servant in the State.
He has a mandate as given to him by PBAT and the FG as approved by the NA to work in accordance to the laws of the land and also put up such laws that will aid him do his work for the duration of 6 months till further instructions from PBAT.
The Rivers State HC lacks the power to put a restraining order preventing him appointing LG sole administrators to run the affairs of the LGCAs.

Many of us are still moved by emotions and sentiments and it will not work if we continue this way on this issues.

I guess this PhD holder just wanted to say something but he chose the wrong subject matter.

Minimum wage is #70,000.

With the way the economy is I'm guessing having to eat three square meal for one who earns minimum wage with money not coming from another extenral source is surely grace from God.
If you can one just twice eating of a decent meal of #1500 each is surely a blessing from God as well.

But with the reality on ground. This is the sacrifice he is talking about....
You can afford just a meal with #1500 for 30 days which amounts to #45,000.
You'll figure out how to balance yourself with the rest. This is just for a single person without no one depending on him.
That is the reality on ground.

Inosky:
Sure. Tinubu will never give power to a northerner he can't be controlling like the way he's doing in Lagos.

The man doesn't like competition because he knows he don't have any sellable credentials or performance indices.

How is Tinubu controlling Lagos?

If Tinubu has the final say in who becomes governor of Lagos State certainly he doesn't also control how the State is being developed?
Does Tinubu also have to tell each governor what to do and how to do it?


PBAT does not have the power to control anyone but what he needs only is yo put someone in place who shares his way of ideologies as to how developments should spread across. It mustn't be perfect but one would definitely see the changes and appreciate some of it.
Except those who deliberately don't intend to see anything good in even the visible good that stands before them. Then let them keep criticizing till they get their favourable candidate.

zero8zero:
And if they hands off completely and private investors asked you to pay the actual reflective costs, una go begin open mouth and calling Govt to intervene. Nobody can satisfy you people.

What exactly is the actual reflective cost?

Do you really think it's complete stupid and ignorant people that fills up this country called Nigeria?

How expensive is electricity or do you want to compare it with what is being paid in USA?

The unbundling of the telecom industry, to whose interest is it ?

The profits MTN has made alone in Nigeria given our pathetic corrupt system from it's inception, can it be compared to the profits made in South Africa and else where they are in operation.....you can do your analysis city by city, town to town, metropolitan area to metropolitan area and so forth...

DaddyCoool:
In US everything is local including police. Immigration is blind and powerless without local cooperation.

I do know that some States as against Trumps policies and some local police have said they will not assist ICE and it's affiliates.
But there are some within the local police that within certain States that will compromise just a little bit of information.
It will take take but it will be done as long as the Courts are not against it, it will be done. It's just a matter of time. Four years is enough time to get it done and they will make their progress known.

It would be better the countries where these immigrants come from can strike a deal with Trumps administration for the betterment of both countries but unfortunately many of these immigrants countries don't know how best to aid their citizens.

[quote author=DaddyCoool post=134904833]Most of these measures are really aimed at dissuading those planning to illegally enter US.
Otherwise HOW will you find these people and deport them? And where'd you find the manpower to do it?


Finding, locating, arresting and deporting them one after the other is just a little thing.
You don't need much manpower when those already are excited to even work overtime and change their shifts to suit the situation accordingly till it's purpose is accomplished.

mmadu4:
They are capping . Where will they go ?

Self deportation is better than DHS deportation....

They can go to any neighboring country if they don't intend to return to their own home country especially Africans.

AWONEYAN:
This guy just dey surprise both his supporters and haters....



Both friends and foes dey collect from Trump

It's all about the great American dream.
It's only for those with legal status who have fulfilled all criteria.

If the Nigerian security agencies and military can't bring a proper checking and checkmate the activities of Boko Haram then it's high time the Borno State governor gets the services of private security outfits like mercenaries or even the services of some well trained Niger Delta former militants to restore peace to that area.....
This things are not rocket science if that government truly intends to fight banditry.

ObosiLandlord:
How do you know it's tax payers money they are using to fund the journey? Cause last time I checked, they are all under suspension. Someone is likely footing the bill

Suspension doesn't stop them from receiving their entitlements including Gov. Fubara.

blueAgent:
You keep running round in circles, treating the symptoms instead of the cause of the sickness.

When you acknowledge that Wikes plan and motive is evil, weather he signs agreement with Fubara or any other willing politician, I would then take you serious.

I can't spot any difference between Wike and Fubara. I don't believe in choosing the lesser evil against the higher one.

RillJ:
Alcohol is prohibited in Kano though Federal Law permits it. The State government uses her machinery to round up and destroy alcohol wherever they find them. Same should apply to prohibited trades and activities in Southern states. Where open grazing is bound, round up any/all stray and open-grazing cows and destroy them while the herders should be prosecuted according to the prevailing state laws.

All the present Southern governors are slaves to the North. They do eye and lip service to the North.

Dogalmighty17:
The Fulani can't read and even if they do, they don't care about anti-grazing bills. Benue state has anti-grazing bills yet the Fulani are still marauding the state.

Are you speaking in generality or you're saying the Fulani herdsmen can read entirely.....


What is it that they don't understand?
That they can go into people's farm land and let their cattle feed free on another person's farm crop....!!!

Those herders can read, it's not all of them that can't read.
They know what they are doing and because they are getting away with it and no one punishing them for such so they will continue.

Jantigana:
I applaud governor Diri for coming out this bold. He has demonstrated that his people's interest holds supreme in his Government, how I wish other governors will follow suit. Infact,let me owe him 2 bottles of stout.

There is nothing bold about his statement...... absolutely nothing bold.

Did you not hear that those herders exchanged gun fire with the State owned security outfit not too long ago and the govenror had to call a meeting of all traditional rulers and leaders !!!!!


Did you hear such thing happening in Rivers State when Wike was gcvernor ...... them no born that herdsman well !!!!!!

When Wike gives a warning and you don't adhere to such then you'll know what you're looking for...
Not all these lip service governors and notice men pleasers...

shortgun:
Any government that cannot provide security for the people is not a government.
If we have 3 governors from the south who speak out against the atrocities of fulani herdsmen like this governor those murderers would have been stopped long ago.

Southerners are forced to obey state sharia laws whenever they go to the north but Northerners in the South resist state laws with impunity

Forget that lip service of a governor....
Did you not hear that those herders exchanged gun fire with the Bayelsa State security outfit in the bush.....
What has the governor done about that?
Have they been caught and prosecuted by the State government?

Chae:
Guru in d building, a solution to a building that's going to a story building buh d waste pipe wasn't install before d lintel thou the decking have not taken place,

I want to believe you can read your plan assuming you have one.....or better still you can post it here....

If on your plan there's going to be a toilet/bathroom on same position as you have on the ground floor corresponding to that on the up floor then your plumber will have to chisel through the lintel downwards through upwards or vice versa exposing the rods and fix the waste pipe through the rods......I hope there is sufficient space for your pipe to pass through.....

But if the positioning of the ground floor toilet/bathroom is not in alignment with that on the upper floor section then there's no need t do anything that will affect the lintel.

I am very sure you know where the money is kept both the State governments and that of the FG......please take a walk into the place and collect it for yourself.

[quote author=blueAgent post=134891759]All this long epistle for someone who does not know you exist or has any of your intrest at heart.

Like I said b4 Nigeria and Africans deserves the kind of leaders they have.

If all you wrote is to justify Wike's action then you are far from be sensible and honest.[/quote



Do you know anyone who signs an agreement with the devil who is sensible and honest at the same time?

Was such a person cajoled or coerced ?

You can never build illegality on illegality.....God doesn't work like that. Those are the doings of men. God can never be mocked. Let him who has gone into an illegal agreement and arrangement denounce same in public.

MIKOLOWISKA:

Does it look like our education roads or water is being provided?

You must be an aje butter that has not experienced any of those mega failures

Socialism does not work
Stop giving govt more taxes and more responsibilities

You think they want to fix the problem so they will become jobless?

Are you serious with this line of thinking @ the bolded?



Can you throw more insight with the bolded using the USA and Britain as case study?

jaxxy:
Wike and his Co travelers are still running up and down. The guilty have no peace.

Are you sure the purported innocent one is sleeping well at night?

adasingo:
All their evil plans will continue to fail.
Governor Sim will come back stronger

If there is no peace and settlement, how will that happen?

Did he fund it with his personal money?.

That's why Trump was right, Africans deserves the kind of leaders they have.

Who owns the money?
Please tell us?

blueAgent:
It favoured Wike more, he called all the Shots.

I bet you 10 out of 10 politicians would still betrayal Wike if he made then Governor.

The man is a mad man and he is over bearing .

Bolded 1....
Is it because Wike called all the shots?
Then why did Fubara agree to such knowing fully well what he is going into....
You don't expect me to believe that Fubara did not know......Is it ignorance or absent mindedness?
What exactly was Fubara bringing to the table and why did he not present some of his own people even if they were just 3 in number?

Bolded 2......
Well there's a level of madness in everyone.....some can get away with theirs, others will meet those who will match them level for level.....
It was the same overbearing that Fubara wanted to use on the RSHA that resulted in this blow out....
He wanted to reign in and rule like his predecessor, but he should have known better......He was thinking he is now governor.....it's just a title if you don't have real grassroots followers and not social media sympathizers.....
Those who claimed are with him, have they not closed their mouths.....


Wike knows Rivers State and he knows them well....many have compromised because of money.....


I want to believe you knew how and what led to the emergence of Amaechi as governor.......there were no voices in the Rivers State to contend with him. Not until the issue of PGEJ and wife came up and ot was only Wike who rose to the occasion to fight Gov. Amaechi and Wike was a Minister, then......


Now, when Wike became Governor, all those who didn't have voices during Amaechi's tenure were given one by Gov. Wike and they all enjoined it......
Until the PDP presidential primaries occured and those who were on Atiku's side from Rivers State whom Wike had given them voices turned against them and he in turned showed them that they were truly and actually no body's....


That is the story line and that's the sorry state of affairs that Fubara wanted to overturn because he felt he couldn't do the wishes of his successor....


If not for Wike, it will be very distance and distant for an Opobo man to become Governor of Rivers State.....
Every Rivers person knows that....

blueAgent:
You use style dodge my other question.

No, the favours was both ways.
It's to their own benefit....
Anyway you look at it.
Though, some can say it was more favourable to Wike than to Fubara looking at the way and manner commissioners and all the government house staffs and aids were handpicked by Wike.
But I can tell you that the favour was well shared both ways.
Maybe it was Fubara who did know how to play ball or didn't understand his role to be able to roll along well, if he actually knew his former boss whom he had worked with for years.......

blueAgent:
Keep fooling yourself.

You think Fubara was desperate to become governor or you think Wike was doing Fubara or himself a favour?

If he wasn't desperate he would have turned down the offer in the first instance...

If he wasn't desperate when the Akpabio was in Rivers State during that early season when Fubara had earlier made a remark and Akpabio replied that if there's nothing to gain then, he the Governor should resign....!!
So why did he not resign?

I even read somewhere that Gov. Fubara turned in his resignation but Wike did not agree!!!!!
There are stories that I laugh at.....

Quarterpast:
Really?

While I agree with wike that it was actually too early for the now Axed Fubara to show his true colors, it is also wrong for wike to treat him in that manner. For God's sakes, how many of Wike's predecessors subjected him to such? Wike picked all of FUBARA's commissioners, handpicked all FUBARA's appointees such as to be in control of FUBARA's govt. Then he wanted to be getting his percentage from Rivers monthly subvention. Wike isn't fair to FUBARA, but if I was fubara, I wouldn't have acted so fast. Politics is about tactics

I am very sure you know nothyabiut Rivers State politics.

If you know anything about Rivers State politics then you should also know the reason why none of the former governors were able to handpick a successor or any of his aides during the entirety of their administration.....!!!!


Gov. Wike is the only whose history and how he became governor seems quite different from his predecessors and he is the only predecessor who successfully handpicked a successor....

Now,if you also understand what transpired in all of these, I bet you won't be saying what you're saying about Wike handpicking his commissionera and aides !!!?

The question you should have asked is if Fubara has people, how many did he bring on board during the time he was handpicked and by Wike and when the campaigns started , how many of such persons did he tell Wike that such can deliver on his mandate?

Do you really understand what exactly is the happenings in the State or you're just one of those emotional and sentimental beings.....
Do you really think this fight is all about just Rivers State local politics and a mere godfatherism?

Mitsurugi:
Tinubu is not as smart as his followers claim and this Rivers issue has clearly exposed that. I don't understand how an allegedly intelligent President can be scammed by a hoarse talking drunkard.

Fubara burned down Assembly Complex LIE
Fubara is not rebuilding the Assembly Complex LIE
Fubara is against peace LIE
Fubara is behind the bombing of pipelines LIE
Pipelines were bombed LIE

And yet this is coming from a President that misled the same Fubara into a false peace arrangement that made him foolishly withdraw his matter from court while Amaewhule and his cohorts continued leading to Fubara's defeat at the Supreme Court.

It's either Tinubu is a liar, is not in control of the government or he is senile. Either option spells doom for this country.

You're very funny.....
I guess you're smarter and intelligent than PBAT.
You're part of those who took their case to Court that they won an election yet they don't have any proof....I mean worthwhile proof that they actually won the election....
Courts don't judge a case out before it based on sentiments or here say.

Now, you said that PBAT coerced Gov. Fubara to withdraw his case from the court and he did that?


If Gov. Fubara knew that Ahmaewule had not withdrawn theirs, why didn't Gov. Fubara bring it to the attention of PBAT?
Remember it was Gov. Fubara who went to PBAT to lend a hand for peace !!!!!

Why did he not use the live line that PBAT offered him to the fullest?


Do you not think for yourself that Gov. Fubara's story is incomplete?

MightySparrow:
The north has been playing head or tail, I win politics with the rest of us. In any negotiation, a Fúlàní man should not be allowed to rule this nation again. Atiku and elrufai should never be given audience at all. Any other northern tribes would be welcome. These people are not sincere.

I wish them good luck in their endeavours.

But I do know PBAT will complete his two tenure and handover to a Northerner who will not tow that part of the old ways of the Fulani.
That successor does not even know who he is. There will be a lot of plottings but the right person will eventually emerge.

You see those in fightings in Kano and Rivers State are just mere coincidences which will be turned into opportunities to change the old narrative to a better one and there are other silent in fightings in some parts of the country.

We may not like what we see now but with time, those understand what is happening will see from a different perspective.

Basic123:
he should have completed yaradua tenure ,conduct an election to bring in a Northerner. Simple!

Is the North bigger than the Nigerian constitution?

How many Heads of State did we have from the North and same from the South that ruled Nigeria for the duration that such rule lasted?

Did the South complain about such or don't they have a right to complain if you're bringing your illogical issue of Yaradua death and PGEJ should have stepped down?

naptu2:
Rumour mongers said that he was not at President Tinubu's birthday iftar (he said that he was there) and they said that he had collapsed and been rushed to France for treatment. However, he led FCT residents to visit the President the next day (as part of the Eid celebrations).

Is it possible for a person to be in France and Abuja at the same time?

Basic123:
GEJ truncated Northern tenure of YARADUA.

The case is very different.
GEJ shouldn't have ran in 2011 when a southerner just completed 8years.It really pained the northern. GEJ Could have just done a term and hand over back to a Northerner from PDP jejely.May be to Atiku.
No be the same ATIKU that his people in southsouth have been voting since 2019

Are you for real?
How did PGEJ truncate the northern tenure ?
Is it PGEJ that killed or caused the death of Yaradua?
Maybe the Nigerian constitution should be amended to say in the eventuality that a sitting president dies then someone from his region or State should be brought in to complete his tenure while the VP maintains his position....
