Hahahaha.....
It's very clear that the North has not changed just like the leopard whose stripes will forever remain.

Who is that Southern candidate that will sign such agreement......?
Do you think 4 years is much !!!!
People who could wait to allow PGEJ complete his tenure. They have their eyes on the office of the presidency.
Well good luck to them.
It's going to be very unfortunate because Atiku will also tell them if he is going to.ahree to such then he should be the sole aspirant and candidate afterwards.....

I guess the younger northeners will agree to that as well.
Playing on the resources of Nigeria by one particular region over the interest of the nation.

Well , it's good they have been released but I don't know what month and year they were released.....

Are these people staffs of the Nigerian security agencies or staffs of the Nigerian prison or they were actually put in prison or police holding cells and fed with the body they have on camera........
This is good.

kunle4toyeyaho:
How could the PDP handed over the presidential ticket & party structure to a few within the party at the exclusion of other stakeholders and you think there would not be problem? PDP made a big error in the way it handled its affairs pre- 2023. Till today,there has not been genuine reconciliation within the party.

PDP problem started the day Atiku, Saraki, Tambuwal, co......left the party because of Fulani Northern Agenda and joined the opposition against the administration of PGEJ.

That is the genesis of the issue. They have deliberately refused to attend to that. The party was left in the hands of a few of which you know the main figure from Rivers State who stood strong and talk doing his best for the party.
The falling out of whatever happened pre-2023 was also a signal that the old men are back with their usual trick and they will do all there is to seize power since they feel it's their entitlement.....

Well, the kid on the block who kept the party for their return is no longer a kid but a full man and will not sit around and be pushed by any one of them.

This fight is not over till they are all retired from national politics.

Those from the South South who feel Wike is undermining the interest of the PDP should ask themselves why did the PDP give Wike the go ahead to accept the ministerial appointments both from the National and the State...,!!!!!

There are many unanswered questioned not even asked or do they think Wike is a fool or PBAT is a pushover ?

michlins:
the exchange rate is one problem.

Say you invested $50,000 in a project, when you want to get ROI, you will get almost double the naira value but then you will be almost at a loss when you convert it into the initial currency you invested.

Secondly is Nigeria factor, you ask people to help you manage your project and they will start and finish their own project on your head meanwhile you're still struggling to complete yours. Just recently,one of the biggest realtor I. Lagos is embroiled with a scandal where an investor claimed he invested 300ml and only got 50ml at the time of maturity and the company and CEO has blocked his access to them

Let me speak on the second part.....

I still find it funny that many investors don't actually have family members or friends that can stand in as their eyes to supervise the jobs done at the site, while the architect, engineer, builder or contractor does render his professional services.
Just because you're using a family member or friend doesnt mean you don't want to pay the person what is obtainable......


Please if any one is in need of such extra services I volunteer my self if only you are willing to pay what is obtainable given each project...



Also with that level of investors amount, I want to believe he did not get himself into one of those get rich quick make believe schemes ?


There are many things people do that they don't come out plain to say publicly, you only see them talk when theirs drama and many of those things when you investigate their have some form of illegality in them...

Great100000:
Source: https://businessday.ng/bd-weekender/article/20-african-countries-with-stronger-currencies-than-the-naira/

With all these countries/nations whose currencies are stronger than that of Nigeria in terms of the exchange rate to dollar....

This is simple economy for the lay man.....


(1) How much is a cost of a decent meal (3 square ) in any of these countries as compared to Nigeria?

(2) Cost of house rental for a typical house of two bedroom room in a low density area?

(3) Typical cost of utility bills....(sum light + water+ domestic kitchen waste) ?

(4) Cost of petrol ?

(5) Coat of transportation for a typical distance of Lagos to Abuja by road ?

mrksquare:
Go to a very compromised judiciary that has been captured by Tinubu.

When you people use the word "Go to court" just know that the outcome has already been predetermined. Same way after rigging election, the favourite retort to opposition parties by the party that is the beneficiary of the rigging is to go to court.

Is it not hypocritical that when State judiciary do the bidding of State governors you then cry foul when same happens with the federal judiciary via the FG !!!!!!!

Chimaokigwe:
Bode George can't even capture his street.

GEJ gave this jail returnee money for campaign in 2015, he used it to buy house. He, Agbaje and Koro collected that money.

Just watch out for the forth coming elections.


Lagos State will be recaptured by Bode George.
Just note it down.

Kreesxxx:
Whatever this might lead to is a win win to me. Tinubu formed a coalition that toppled Jonathan a Bayelsan. If Diri does the same it is called return leg in football.

The likes of those forming coalition against PBAT cannot beat him....
You should know why....
If you don't know then you're not really a political thinker.

Gov. Diri is not even counted amongst formidable assets in the south south....

Even Wike will be laughing at the likes of Diri....

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.

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




https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/04/10-wont-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.....
