Blowing up pipelines will only embolden Wike and his group to proceed with the impeachment of the governor.I shared my opposition to the current journey of impeachment against fubara both offline and online,and I stand by it.However, blowing up pipelines is a crude and futile tactics by the governor and his Ijaw people.Murtala Nyako was impeached as governor in 2014 when GEJ was governor,Adamawa people didn't threaten to burn down Nigeria even though GEJ the mastermind of that Impeachment.

My Ijaw people make una enter house and don't turn political disagreement between godfather and son to ethnic fight.Ijaw doesn't control all the pipelines and oil wells in the Niger Delta.The major loser from this adventure is going to be Tompolo who is under contract to protect pipelines.I am aware so many leaders from Niger Delta including Wike have been advocating the splitting of the oil pipeline protection contracts among various warlords and tribes in the region and may be advantage present to them.

The pipeline survrillance contract has been shared. Tompolo is only a facilitator who stands like a middle man between the FG and other Ex-Militants, etc, etc.
There is a reason behind such and it is a good one for now.
So if this story is anything to go by and it has signs of human interference, the sabotouers won't be hard to find. Its just a matter of time.

Not me…I never mentioned anything about the affidavit issue or the 27 lawmakers. If you can see any of my posts on these matters, you can pull it out. What I’m saying is simple: an illegal agreement whether it is to abduct a kid or to rob a bank or to steal money or to control state resources after your term, is an illegal agreement and should not be upheld.

If the party who supposed to co-operate then reneges from the so-called agreement, and he himself takes the proceeds of the agreement to himself alone whether it’s the state resources or the loot of the bank robbery, then he has added illegality on top of illegality. But where this person decides to renege on the so-called agreement so that he can do the right thing, then he has acted properly.

I hope you do know that conspiracy is a crime and offence by law and had it's own punishment. It doesn't really matter whether you actually do the real crime or not......

OnyeObowo1:
Wike is stronger than tinibu self..

It is people like you that put their bosses in deep cow dung.

You don't even know what you're saying.
Everyone has their strength and weakness. Everyone has their pattern of strategy and tactical approach to issues depending on age, experience and maturity and the opposition involved.
If one has the best set of skills and persons in designated places of authority and power that are reliable then one is good to go in the schemes of political affairs and all things in life.

But remember the Almighty God is to be feared and respected. He alone has the affairs of men in His palms.

Lookmun:
Depends on who is deceived. I’ll give you a scenario. If a kidnapper has abducted a child and the ransom is N10m and I happen to reach an agreement with the kidnapper but end up deceiving him such that I get the abducted child and I don’t keep to my agreement to pay the N10m, I haven’t done an ignoble thing because a fraudulent agreement is not valid abinitio.

In the same vein, agreeing to do the bidding of someone who wants to control state resources for himself and reneging on that agreement to serve the people instead is not a bad move because it might be near impossible to wrest control of state resources for the people any other way.

So long as the individual actually uses those resources for the people and so long as he himself doesn’t become a controller of state resources at the end of his tenure. Before we shout “agreement is agreement,” let’s first ask what kind of agreement, is it an invalid one?

Your scenario cannot play in such instance.
Just like the issue of affidavit you all think snd believe will stand in Court against the 27 lawmakers.....

Find a suitable scenario, please and thanks.

racerve:
FCT Minister is a political appointee—lower than senators in protocol. Ignore all Wike’s media antics; how many of you can even name the previous FCT minister?

Saying the position is equivalent to a governor just shows your ignorance.

Wike is fighting this battle because Rivers State allocation is 50 times bigger than FCT’s. If someone has to explain this to you, then you shouldn't be commenting on politics.

You have shown from your comments that you don't read and think for yourself.


It's good that this is not the first time he is a Minister.
Do you know why Minister Wike is the only Minister whose funds does not come fro the TSA and the strong reasons he gave PBAT to allow him operate in a way convenient for his ministry.....



When you respond please remove hatred and sentiment from your comment. Do not respond if you see Wike but respond as one is sees a seasoned administrator who you intend to excel in his duties.




I wouldn't want to argue the said allocation of Rivers State bring bigger 50 times of that of the FCT.....


But do you know how much is the IGR of the FCT with the payments of ground rents alone yearly every four years?

That is beside sale of lands oOoOO.....
Most of the lands in those high brow areas belong to the FG oOoOO....

Thundafireseun:
And you believe this fake story from a drowning man….

Wike is the FCT minister which is equivalent to any sitting governor…. If Wike is looking for treasury like Fubara wants you to believe…. What stops Wike from hitting FCT treasury??

Why is Fubara scared of stating the truth about his arrangements with Wike ??

Thank you very much.
The bolded I have asked people and wondered why Gov. Fubara has refused and intentionally silent about it......

Well, lets see how it all goes.

ogascomax:
The truth is that the State will suffer because the governor will do is four years complete. Wike can only try with those stupid law breakers to impeached the governor but they will fail at the end. Most of them will not come back in 2027 because it's fight to finish. Wike will be disgraced sooner or later, time will tell.

Let's the constituencies they belong to decide for them.....

No other person can do that for them.

magoo10:
Rivers State governor's public notice of readiness to accept the unfavorable supreme court judgement places him on a legitimate advantage.

He was never ready.

I am very sure if the judgement had gone in his favour he would not be asking for the CTC judgment before he would kick them out of the RSHA living quarters and even you would be laughing and dancing in less than the duration they have him to represent the 2025 budget again and again.
Lets forget all these rhetorics, psychological and emotional plays.

Kennitrust:
if you can understand what is going on here is that...
The supreme Court was not officially supposed to rule on that defection matter because the case was not officially presented to the supreme Court for ruling.

Are you sure of what you're saying or of what you're meant to believe those who claim to know the law and it's process?


Please take as much time as you can and read the below and know peace.....
Also do well to correct me if I say what is wrong.....



It was my response to someone else. I believe you'll get the drift if you were actually follow the cases from the onset.



Gov. Fubara tactically and deliberately did not do that for he had only relied on the judgement given him by the Rivers State High Court for their defection and declared seat vacant.


There was no case of defection brought before them at the SC.
But like we all know, the FHC had in their judgment brushed that off and if you remember the same FHC in their judgment saying the SHC lacked jurisdiction in such matters also considered the 27 members as valid members of the SHA and that was why it ordered Gov. Fubara to re-present the 2024 State budget them.
It was that judgment that led to Gov. Fubara going to the Appeal Court......

Somewhere along the line there was adjustments and modifications on the cases filed and the 27 members asked for a consolidated judgment so it also say if they are still members of the RSHA and authentic Speaker is Ahmaewule.

Now, for whatever reasons Gov. Fubara withdrew the Appeal as we got into 2025 sin e he has passed the 2025 budget and said "events have overtaken it".
Yes, events have overtaken it since the expenditure time frame has elapsed for the 2024 budget, but he forgot or was ill adviced because the FHC ruling still stands and had not declared Ahmaewule and co illegitimate.

A withdrawal by Gov. Fubara from the Appeal Court also meant the FHC ruling is binding on him but I guess his lawyers and advisers didn't consider that as an over site thought and was still relying on their SHC judgment which the FHC had earlier said lacked jurisdiction.

So it was an easy task for the SC to do and the SC was only just giving credit to what the FHC had done on re-establishing the judgement of the FHC declaring that Ahmaewule and co remains members of the RSHA.

A lot of people were not actually following the case per se but were actually following the rhetorics, emotional and psychology pullings of Gov. Fubara who had a loop hole he created himself when he withdrew from the Appeal Court.

So it was Gov. Fubara who made it a lot more easier for the SC to give that judgment the moment he withdrew from the Appeal Court even though it seemed he may not likely get a favourable judgment from the Appeal Court. So no one can file as new case at the SC because it doesn't work like that.
It was what was passed from the FHC to the Appeal Court where amendments were done and to the SC since we still had aggrieved members and with the judgement of the SC all matters have been laid to rest.

southsouthking:
It's getting interesting, the battle is far from over.

The judge wants to get a sitting allowance and no more.

Can a SHC overturn the judgement of a SC?
Where did the SHC judge get training from?

TechCapon:
with the current hardship, where does he want the poor people to raise millions for ground fees within a short period

Except a poor man is gifted land there like the one gifted to PMB by some persons under a foundation....

There is no poor person who has property in those areas where ground rents are collected....
There are none poor absolutely therein.....

Except some form of mishap happens to one and that kind of mishap would be they the real owner is no more and the children are no good and have not lived up to the expectations of their original owner of the property of they got it by inheritance.

Is revocation the right penalty for non payment

The question anyone should ask is if any of them are not aware of the law concerning payment of ground rents?

Since the inception this administration, no one has come out to say they are not aware of such law or practice....


Now, to your question,........Don't you think 10-20 years of non payment of such by a defaulter , then revocation should be enforced by the authorities?


Also the Minister even gave a period of grace which if I'm not mistaken is from 7-21 days thereabout......is that not enough?


If the owners or occupiers of such property don't have such funds immediately or complete, I believe they can go to the Ministers office or office involved and they can come up with a sub payment plan for them as long as they can show proof that they can do the needful.....

I am sure the Minister won't be that unreasonable to not agree to such.
Even PBAT would see reasons even in such as well.

simpleseyi:
I wish that Tinubu redeploys Nyezom Project Wike to Ministry of Power in 2027 after swearing-in for 2nd term, this guy will perform wonders there. the so called cabal go hear am,

I would prefer Wike to be put as NSA then all those defense chiefs go know why them dey wear military uniforms...

Which one is Ground rent?

Does it mean that after outright purchase of land, you are supposed to pay Ground rent to the government?

/

That is the way it is in certain places within the FCT, the high brow areas. Everyone who buys land there knows it.

We have not heard from those who default that they are not aware yet since this administration started.

Lookmun:
Yes I insist that it is morally bankrupt to ignore the intention of someone who is not the governor to have control over STATE resources. I repeat the resources belong to the state not a man so if you cannot see that fundamental point, where is your moral standing?

And yes I repeat that if the so called AGS entered into the deal with the ultimate goal of ensuring that turning state affairs to a business deal ends, so long as he doesn’t himself join the foolish bandwagon, then he is a noble man.

You can quote me on that, I am still here….

....

Nobility indeed with deception.

NiRfreak:
Mumuni
Country without due process
If u want to collect dues, does that make u become like an animal who lack sense of morality
Since it's a new enforcement by a new govt, common sense is you announcing it, and tell people the govt gives them grace of 6months or one year...
If u are not a very stvpid brainless fellow how can u give just 21 days grace in this economy to redeem lands of million.... But u iiidiots always siding with ill treatment of Nigerians.. Ko ni daa fun yin

Who says it is a new enforcement by a new government?

Did you really read the information?
The question you would ask is if these people are aware of the ground rents in the places they have properties?

Otherwise how do you think the FCT generates revenue and uses same for infrastructural development?
Oh, you think it's from the ticket sales to motorist...

Ogbodavies:
No b 2 revoke b d problem... na d re-allocation 2 his cronies b d koko

If his cronies refused to pay the ground rents, they will in turn suffer the consequences when their oga and friend is no longer around and in power.
Everyone get their time and can't be around forever.

Lookmun:
If Sim had an agreement with Wike and you are insisting that he keeps to it, why not insist that Wike should desist from illegally trying to own/control the state resources? In other words, if you say that Sim should act in integrity towards Wike and yet you are not insisting that Wike should act with integrity towards the state then you are simply double-faced.

It’s just like Mr A and Mr B decide to rob a house and share the money according to an agreed percentage. Mr B betrayed Mr A and refused to give him the loot but decided to wire the money back to the victim of the robbery. I wouldn’t say Mr B has done bad.

If anybody is insisting that Mr B should co-operate with the terms of the contract with Mr A, that person is morally bankrupt and weak in terms of character.

I don't have emotions to give for political issues.
An Accountant General of a State who knows what goes and comes into the State coffers and goes into an agreement because he sought the office of governor, is not morally bankrupt and weak in character but you say those of us who insist he should keep to his agreement are the ones morally bankrupt and weak in character.....

You do well, you do very well.

Pacesetter123:
Yes,I know all this things.Thats why I don't sympathize with either of the party.
I am not in support of any political godfather nor godson cos both are enemies of democracy and good governance.
The godson knew the enslavement that awaits him for accepting all the terms and conditions set by his godfather,yet,he still went ahead to sign the slavery agreement.
The godfather too knew the danger that his godson can pose when entrusted with a position as big, lucrative and powerful as governor,yet,he when ahead and sign an agreement with him.
In all these,the "People" were not involved at all.
So now that they are fighting themselves,they now want the "people" to support them.
Me like this,I can't support any of them.
All this their fight is for their own selfish interests and not for the interest of the masses.

But my own is,I can make comments when there's any particular issue arising from this their fight.
For instance,the budget presentation saga, defection, declaration of seats vacant and High ,Appeal and Supreme Court judgement, and this recent issue of judicial panel faulting the SC judgement.

So like I was responding to the guy before you quoted me,I am not really sure whether there was a case of defection brought before them as the panel alledges,that's why I cannot comment on it yet.

So do you really have the evidence that there was and appeal to the SC on the matter of defection of the 27 lawmakers in particular?
If you do,pls kindly share with me here.
I don't really have the time since on that morning time to research on it yet.

Gov. Fubara tactically and deliberately did not do that for he had only relied on the judgement given him by the Rivers State High Court for their defection and declared seat vacant.

press9jatv:
it will never work. From the look of things, Wikr want to cause huge violence in order for Tinubu to declare State of emergency in Rivers State. This is the plan on the table. It will never work in Rivers State. All Wike men will be picked. I won’t say much.

I hope you do know that those who would do such will be found eventually if at all they succeed and they will be shot with no one to know where they will be buried.
And they would still tie it to Gov. Fubara even if he will not be involved. It will assumed that he incited people.

HisXLNC1:
Wetin be the agreement na? Una wey dey in the know make una put us 'wey no follow dey in the know' the terms of the agreement. You will agree with me that a lot of people do not know the agreement. Can't it be made public?

It is only Gov. Fubara can say the details of the agreement, item for item.


At least Wike has been consistent on media what it is but we need to hear from Gov. Fubara if that is it and why does he not want to honor it anymore......


Gov. Fubara owes Rivers people that much to say himself and not this hearsay we hear from his supporters. They were never there when the agreement was signed and sealed.

Pootle:
i like the way you seeing things objectively. many are not seeing it that way.....@ the bolded they want to end wike influence at all means but doing it foolishly, many of the assembly members where elected through wike influence so how will the one man fubara and few others over ride wike influence if it was for good it would have been better na still struggle for gate way to embezzlement

How do you end a man's influence when he has built men who rely on him. Those who are with Wike and doing his bidding don't do such based on money anymore but goodwill and continuous friendship and a future beyond State politics.


Many of those on Gov. Fubara's side are just in for the money because they can't truly come out to sacrifice whatsoever.



Except there's a DIVINE intervention, I don't see how Gov. Fubara will come out happy.

yusufmurry:
The impeachment may be possible once they succeed with the allegation against the chief judge. The same Chief judge that they screened and appointed during Wike's tenure. We are watching

It will succeed if the allegation is true and it is.

It's just like the Minister of finance during PMB who was screened by the NA who forged her NYSC, it was because she refused to do their balling, they brought up the issue and she had to resign...


That's how the country is and that's where we are now.

Pootle:
perfect you getting the picture, jus like europe who could not stand russia but used Ukraine as a proxy....many of those ppl cant face wike so they all using sim to push there luck

I keep wondering why Gov. Fubara is relying on them. These are people who had no voice when Wike was governor how much more now when a greater part of the State Assembly are doing his will.......


Does he really think a protest will save him!!!!

If they eventually remove him, they will find a replacement from the purported ijaw for compensation.

press9jatv:
Wike start the fight already. I only pity his handlers. Asari dokubo will fight for his ancestral Rivers State

Really....
Did you not hear what happened at Abalama during the weekend?

Pootle:
sim wont enjoy this 4years that if he escape impeachment, agreement is agreement. simple thing is dont touch what you cant handle, as wicked man wike pointed out sim has been listening to bad advice that might end his political career if his not careful. ppl are telling him to stand up to wike and his doing that foolishly

And those people have nothing to lose in all of this but it's him who will if it turns out against him completely.

Pootle:
sim card fubara need to be submissive so peace can reign not gallivanting like nothing can happen. loyal first after that gain more popularity and grounds before been this stubborn

the fact that wicked man wike was instrumental in him winning the election he needs to have a round table talk with him, buhari knew how jagaban move mountain for him to be president for 8years he was threading tinubu territory carefully.

many of this resent politicians once elected thinks nothing can happen

if sim is not careful his gonna learn, and his gonna learn the hard way

The likes of people advising Gov. Fubara are same who adviced PGEJ when he had issues with Gov. Amaechi and so many persons and at the end he who was supposed to be president lost an election.

Now, a repeat of such is about to happen.

I still wonder what was the agreement that Fubara signed with Wike and these legislative house that he has refused to keep.....

There are ways to go about these things and still come out strong.

Let's assume, this whole things ends up in destroying assets of Rivers State and we know lives may go as well......

Will anyone actually say they have won?
What manner of supremacy are they fighting for ?

ReubenE:
The bold gave you away as an impostor. Stop deceiving yourself to reinforce your point.

This one is telling Ijaw man he does not have ties to anything that represents Ijaw. You see how you goofed. You did because you are an impostor.

Wike and Amaechi fought and someone is telling you of not being truly Ijaw. What is the connection with Wike and Amaechi (two Ikwerre) fighting and anything that had to do with you being Ijaw.

Wike is a drunk for saying Ijaws are minority of minorities in the Niger Delta.
Since Wike failed to say who is the majority after mentioning Ijaws in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Ondo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom...you should answer it on his behalf since you know how to put things the way they are.
What is the majority ethnic group in the Niger Delta.
Is it Ikwerre with 3 and half local governments or Itsekiri with 3 half local governments. Is it Bini or Urhobo, Annag, Efik, Isoko, Ibibio

Our problem has always been religion ans nothing more.
We know nothing about God and don't abide in Him or heed to His Word.


I want to believe there's no property that's immune to fire outbreak or incident. We only pray it doesn't happen or at least manage it so that lives and properties are not destroyed.

I would only say, maybe the journalist was probably taking pictures and putting it on social media and even if it was for him to buy traffic, I won't consider such bad whatsoever.

To what purpose would such things be hidden and even if the public or those who speak ill against the church would want to use such as an avenue to mock the church.........does it take away anything?


If we keep doing like this, are we any better to criticize even politicians at all levels.
These are the same people that criticize Tinubu, Akpabio and Wike for trying to hide certain truths from the people they govern!!!

Pacesetter123:
The Panel didn't say all these things you wrote up there.
It only says that the case of defection of the 27 lawmakers was not before the supreme Court.
That the Supreme Court only delved into it and commented on it.That,not that the Supreme Court really passed a comprehensive judgement on the matter,but that they just commented.
That they should have left it open until the matter is officially brought before then by any of the two parties involved before they would have delivered judgement.
But that since they have just commented on it ,that they have made themselves "Functus Officio" on the matter even though the case was not brought before them for judgement and that their decision is final.That government at all levels should always obey court judgement.
So that is the summary of their write-up.

It's now left for people like me who is neutral to this Fubara and Wike Rivers crisis to go back and look at it critically whether it's true that the case of defection wasn't yet brought before the Supreme Court as at the day the judgement was passed or not as alledged by the Panel.
Until I confirm it,I won't comment on it.

I believe you know what"stealing by tricks is". This panel alongside those who sponsored them knows what they are doing.
The SC court did not just come up from oblivion.
This case originated from the FHC and those who lost after they were to re-present the 2024 budget went to the Appeal Court to seek a judgment in their favour, I think if I'm not mistaken, there were certain amendments done on the case as filed by both the plaintiff an ls defendants unfortunately there was a withdrawal of suit by one party that "it has been overtaken by events" and even say it's according to law.....

Well, these are issues the SC looked into and came up with a comprehensive judgment to ensure all these back and forth schemes come to an end and that the Rivers State has a working SHA.

I do know that those who are on the loosing end have somewhat seen the handwriting on the wall that they may eventually lose, but they were hoping on what was imaginary.
Gov. Fubara wants to be allowed to operate like the way Wike did when he was governor but it will interest you to know that this constituted SHA legislators will not allow such for reasons best known to them.
They all knew the arrangements and agreements they had before coming on board, let everyone stick to the agreement.
a It's s simple as ABC rather than wiping up the people's emotional sympathy and support. These people did not support him in the first instance.
All those elders who were joining voices and insulting Wike rather than call for peace have all kept quiet. The cupboards will be opened and everyone will be exposed and the security agencies will get to work.

ReubenE:
I am not having this rudderless debate with you.
If you are not Ijaw, I don't think you earn the right to tell the reading public who is Ijaw and who is not.
If they are not Ijaw, how come Wike said he made Ijaw man governor.

By your logic, maybe Ijebu, Egba, Awori, Ilaje, Egun etc are not Yoruba or political Yoruba since there should not be clans in Yoruba land. Are Igbos from one single source? Some of you just say anything you like online.

Where is the Nembe man that told you he is not Ijaw. Same Wike that you are agreeing with that's going around and talking like a drunken, he went to Kalabari land to make other claims like they are the original Ijaws, in your view are they political Ijaws too since they will mention their clan name before their ethnicity.

I am telling you as it is.
I am very sure you have no ties with even anything that represents Ijaw.
Well, I am not double tongued.
I am Ijaw. I will say it as it is and as I see in the behavior of the Ijaws.

I had colleagues back then who criticized me when Wike was fighting Amaechi that I am not a true Ijaw man. I smiled and told them that I will be laughing when Wike will in turn fight them back someday, and they also be happy about it as they were happy back then.
Those who claim are true Ijaws they can't speak anyone other than throwing threats at Wike. They did his bidding when he was governor and any of them who think they can do otherwise will be fished out.
He knows them and their hiding places. They know what he is capable of doing except these who want to stay in self denial.
We all know ourselves in the region.

AA just wants to trend like he always does.

#1.2 million house rent...

When Deborah was killed, he deleted his post after he was threatened by his people that they will not vote for him in the election.


Na irresponsibility and misplaced priority dey cause all these things.
