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....

Why is she calling Yaya Bello.....
Is he not the same Bello that was celebrated when the EFFC left him abd he went back to Kogi and got a large crowd celebrating his victory........

mrksquare:
But the impostor paid salary? From where did the impostor draw the power to appropriate money for salary.

I expect the impostor to have taking the budget to the House of Reps for passage but he is just busy playing to the gallery while stealing money for himself. The same impostor did not declare his assets as statutorily obligated for all office holder with the Code of Conduct Bureau

Ibas or whatever he is called should be reminded that himself and Tinubu will give account on how the Rivers allocation for the period of the emergency rule is spent.

It would be nice you go and read the constitution for yourself and get understanding rather than all this social media talks.


There's no place in the constitution a sole administrator is mandated or even compelled to declare his assets or liabilities. He is not an elected officer and he didn't apply for that office.
He is also not that kind of public officer like we have ministers, legislators, judges, etc, etc.

If anyone actually wants to know whatever they are looking for then they can request for such information from the place he last serve while in active duty in the military.

Angelfrost:
Lol... So, a whole Giant of Africa is doing so well that both the number 1 and 2 citizens can afford to vacate their seats at the same time.

When will the idiot Senate President be travelling too?!!


At least, we have Natasha, Portable, and Seyi Tinubu to keep the lazy youths occupied.

As long as there's air to breathe and money to hustle for, Nigerians don't really care if the entire leadership at all levels travel at the same time and don't come back, they won't be missed that much.

We can really much take care of things and we know how when the need arises.

ddippset:
Stop being stupid and carrying rumours like a market woman.

Those legislators defected and Fubara was in court proving they had lost their seats.
So you expected him to be paying them and working with them while trying to prove they lost their seats?

Besides are you aware that a Rivers state high court gave an order for him to work with the 4 members?

Fubara also did not burn down the house,,,
The police even investigated then.

He only demolished part of the building that was gutted by fire and it is almost completed.

Stop spreading silly rumours.

The same Rivers State HC that have been doing the bidding of every Rivers State governor and now you complain of the FHC !!!!!


Haba.. try calm down.

ddippset:
Which Supreme Court?


The one led by that Lagos woman?


Supreme indeed...

Make una dey shame abeg.

When the Supreme Court favour you then it's your mandate but when it doesn't then you say your mandate was stolen.....
Sometimes make we just do the needful and let the rest be.....

ddippset:
Something like NEW movement was there when Peter Obi thrashed Tinubu in 2023 in Rivers.
Even thrashed him in Obio Akpor.

NEW movement that will still need 10 thousand army, police, DSS and 100 thousand cultists to win elections, is that one movement?

Is there any contention as to who won the presidential election other than who was announced?

BarrElChapo:
You think a governor can be democratically suspended without it being a flagrant show of contempt to the constitution.

Did the president elect the governor he suspended? As to use suspension to teach him a lesson. How you reason sometimes amazes me

If the president is going against the constitution, let those who know the constitution approach the Supreme Court for the interpretation of it?
I am very sure all those who advised Gov. Fubara to what lead to this suspension can put up funds and fight the just fight!!!!
After all of it happens to one it can happen to all....
Where are the PDP governors.......it's not to be shouting from the social media and whenthe real game is on everyone starts t murmur federal might.......

ddippset:
Tinubu is away for now, and the 70 year old Calabar man has started taking orders from Nyesom Wike.

I predict that by next week, new LGA administrators will be appointed...


In all I blame Rivers people..

Till this point, not a single protest from Rivers people against this Tinubu democratic coup...

Not even one placard carried so far.

Who will lead the protest?

Who are the Rivers people that will come out and match the streets for such at this point in time?


Watch out for the rally that will take place in Bayelsa State when Minister Wike will be coming in to inaugurate the NEW movement that will spearhead the next presidential elections in the State.
Every State will have theirs, it's just a matter of time as everyone alligns. Though we know there are some who are in for the taking of the cash and nothing other.
We wish them all good luck.

She is telling you the truth and you are complaining abi you want her to start hawking ?

Given that's the truth....
How much does she have to add to that 1 million to be able to start the business?

itu404:
Media with their sensationalism; we just have to wait and hear her side before I will give my humble take.

Did you also hear from Gov. Fubara before taking sides on the Rivers State political fight?

SoftSport:
Maybe there's more to this story than we know 🤔. Let's not jump into conclusions.

Of course there's more to it.

How about those who had drawn conclusions about the political fight in Rivers State between Gov. Fubara and Wike and the 27 legislators members of the RSHA?

Where did they draw their conclusion from and why are they blaming PBAT for declaring a State of emergency?

Kuginzi:
https://punchng.com/lynched-travellers-tension-in-edo-as-dss-arrests-principal-suspects/

As long as the real perpetrators of the crime are arrested then it's a welcome development.

But the South South should also ensure when any of ours are killed down in the North through same lynching then the perpetrators should also be caught fastly as the security agencies have done now.....


Let it be balanced from now on.....

This one should be given a disciplinary action and sent to the South South probably Edo State let him do that thing within the next one week as he claims he would do....

Anybody playing basket ball is a star.


Nothing we no go see for Tinubu appointment

Musa Kida is a known name for those who are ballers of basketball. I came to hear that name during my days of learning and playing basketball from 1994 to 2008 being on and off the court.

emkz:
Take a look at the quality of human beings appointed.

Good schools, sterling careers.

Sensible investment strategists.

Balanced appointments!

May they succeed.

PS: Austin Avuru, Babs Omotowa, Bello Rabiu sit or sat on the board of Seplat. The new MD is from Renaissance Energy. Henry Ikem Obih came from ExxonMobil and had served as ED in NNPC during Buhari's time. David Ige worked in NNPC. Yusuf Usman also had a stint in Shell and NNPC. Some of these guys graduated first class and had a strong mix of public sector and private sector experience. The appointments are spot on and well thought out. We'd assess their performace within the next two years, God willing.

We all wish them to succeed in their new appointments as we wish the nation to succeed as well.

But one thing we should note is that in Nigeria good schools, sterling carrees, aspiring portfolios and private life achievements are never a proof that they will do significantly well in the new place they find themselves in relation to transforming the sector and economy for the better.

MEND001:
Pls how much does it cost too digg foundation for a 3 bedroom bungalow. Land not waterlog but dry

You will need to mention your site location, city or village. It slightly varies from State to State and even from village to village.

In some parts of Bayelsa, you may be charged #800 to #1200 per metre of bungalow depth depending on the community you find yourself even within the State capital and circumstances.

Unlike the previous administration that declared Rivers a 100% Christian state, Governor Fubara, upon assuming office, acknowledged the state as Christian-majority while allowing room for inclusiveness,” Uhor stated.



I really don't understand the stand of this statement.

All this people calling for State of emergency in Lagos State as it was called in Rivers State are only just trying to be humorous.

The Lagos State government has a budget running already which was passed by a legitimate legislative house so if the legislative house is not in order it doesn't bother the daily affairs of the State.
So whatever in-fighting existing in the legislative house doesn't affect the Lagos State economy or threaten the security of Nigeria.

Anyways I think Obasa is trying to push his luck if he truly wants to continue with the court case and he may not like the outcomes of it till the SC.


Already the game is on in Lagos but it doesn't affect PBAT in anyway.

DeLaRue:
The President may have genuinely advised Mr Obasa to withdraw the court case, but the President is not lawyer, so he can be forgiven for not knowing the implications.

The house of Assembly members only backed down out of respect for the President. It seems they genuinely did not want Mr Obasa to return under any circumstance.

So the conflict is still simmering in the background, and with Mr Obasa appearing not to change his style, it is only a matter of time before they again attempt to remove him.

Mr Obasa's lawyers will know this is a real possibility, and so I won't be surprised if they advised their client not to withdraw the case.

Withdrawal = Oti lo.

They don't need to remove him again if he is truly pursuing the case in the High Court.

Obasa should step down from the office of speakership till the Court says otherwise if that is what he wants. Let the court reinstate him while he is not sitting on it and let's see his body action.

iwaeda:
https://saharareporters.com/2025/03/31/obasa-defies-tinubus-intervention-pushes-lawsuit-against-meranda-other-lagos-lawmakers

Obasa can't sit in the honourable speakership seat if he insists in still pursuing the case in Court!!!!!

Why did he force himself back when he knows he still will pursue the case even after the intervention of PBAT?

Maybe he is following a script and trying to test his muscles.

Why is that so?

You all will always come online to change every narrative till it's all over and every one will stylishly remain silent.

Martin Amaewhule should be questioned over the burning down of the House of Assembly - Ehie Edison

Only the Speaker of the State Assembly has access to the Assembly Complex after 6:00 PM (working hours).

Before the Federal High Court, over 10 witnesses, who are security personnel attached to the Assembly, testified under oath that Martin Amaewhule's convoy drove to the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex on October 29, 2023.

Martin Amaewhule should be questioned over the burning down of the Rivers State House of Assembly Hallowed Chambers.

This is that kind of story a child will say....."daddy you can lie oOoOO" !!!!


If this allegation were true why didn't Gov. Fubara include it in it's investigations when he instituted a committee for the violence that took place when some of the LGAC buildings were destroyed?

Many persons even called his attention to include it and why didn't his Chief of Staff tell his boss about it then?

Instead of them to just keep quiet and find a way to resolve the issues he is coming out to say what is not.

Those who claimed that Minister Wike slumped and have been rushed to France because he was not in attendance at the reception venue of PBAT....

We are a strange country. We have people whose life work is to peddle false information deliberately and intentional.
