VinnyBaba:
Very CORRECT from Atiku.

For those Arguing the amount, It is possible If you are serving in a State capital like PH, Yenagoa or Asaba.

BTW, see the way that JOBLESS mor0n that call him Helinius is fooling himself on this thread as usual.

A 35yr old Mommy's Boy who lives with his Parents and has Refused to Stop being a Burden to them. 😒🤦

Many of us have served and lived in this States and towns.

Any ajuwai that's says house rent is #1.2 million and is paying such should not be collecting the NYSC allowance. That individual is not supposed to depend on the FG NYSC allawee....

ReubenE:
Can you tell the reading public what tribe is the majority in the Niger Delta since Wike failed to do so despite his ranting like a drunken man.

If Wike rightly mentioned Ijaws in Delta State, Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Ondo etc then still somehow managed to say Ijaws are not majority in the ND but minority of minority, who then is the majority since you agree with his stupid claim.

Is it Ikwerre that's in 4 local governments throughout the whole Niger Delta that's majority? Is it Isoko on 2 local governments. Is it Bini people that are in Edo state alone, a state where they share with many other ethnic groups.
Is it Urhobo that's sharing Delta State with many other ethnic groups with about 8-9 local governments. Is it Efik in Cross River alone that's sharing that state with many other ethnic groupa. Is it Ibibio, Annang or Itsekiri that's sharing 3 half local governments with Urhobo and Ijaw with none exclusively for themselves?

How is Ijaw with spread over 6 states in the Niger Delta a minority of Minority. Tell us who is the majority...

Again his other theory is as stupid as the first one where he said he made an Ijaw son governor because they are a majority and that Ijaws cannot produce a governor in Delta State, Edo, Akwa Ibom etc.
Itsekiri in Delta State like I said before share the 3 warri local governments with Ijaw and Urhobo. They don't have a single exclusive local government of their own yet they've produced a governor in the state - Emmanuel Oduaghan.

Did Oduaghan become governor because Itsekiri are majority in Delta State let alone Niger Delta.

Wike only wanted to demean Ijaw people and create rift between the Ijaw clans in Rivers state and not because he does not know Ijaws are the majority tribe in the Niger Delta.

There are certain things sometimes we just let go.

There is no such thing as Ijaw clan. The umbrella body they makes Ijaws falls under izon...they are all izon or ijo clans.

Wike is quite right in his assertions.

If you come to even Bayelsa State you'll never hear the Ogbia, Epie, Nembe or Brass person say they are Ijaws......
Do you know why?

Ask them again.
Sone of these people claiming Ijaw and saying they are Ijaws now is just because of politics and nothing more.


Wike categorical said that the ijaws in Rivers State are a minority within the minority and the only State where they are a majority is the Bayelsa State.
Even at that those in Bayelsa State will only agree because now it looks like Wike is insulting the ijaws but deep down ask any of the above I've listed they will first tell you as it is even before mentioning Ijaw as a tribe.

mastermaestro:
Mark my word, a time is coming when people will brazenly defy court judgements including the ones emanating from the Supreme Court. It's getting closer than ever. Courts will then be forced to review and reverse their own judgments. We are playing with lawlessness and rebellion in this country.

I will tell you this for free...

Under the leadership of this current CJN any SC judgement not honoured by anyone irrespective of status those persons will bear the consequences and even the FG included.

Maobichek:
Wike will definitely be alive and regret all that he did; Wike was not an islander, Amaechi, Patience Jonathan and many others helped him but he treated them all like nothing.

I worked in PH for 3 years and i know a bit about the happening over there; Wike will surely regret what he is doing in due time, thank you.

You only worked 3 years in PHC and you know what's happening.......interesting to know for taking a stand..


Some of us here were birthed, breed, groomed, schooled in PHC and we don't agree with some of this narratives spoken against Wike.
Some of these narrative arise out of hatred for Wike and nothing more for they are half truths.

AntiWailer:
What useless defection ?

Where is their Party registration no ?


You think u hating some one and the law are the same thing ?

If they defected , have they presented their letter of resignation from PDP and the registration no and their wards in APC

We should all go and get affidavits stating that we are no longer indigenes of our State and that we belong to another State.


In short those who are fighting for Biafra can use this opportunity and get their affidavits done since the Nigerian government will not allow them have their own country. It can be created through an affidavit.

robosky02:
Judicial judgement could seem the "final"
But in certain case there could be a call for review to clearify such judgement. If it has been found to be misunderstood, unclear or even compromise.

Just get a copy of the CTC and read it for yourself.
They did not write it in ambiguity. Their verdict was clear.

oshiokpu:
They are actually really stupid. And I don’t blame them, Fubara is to blame which is why he has to Go. He has divided the state along ethnic lines. You turn a political issue with your benefactor into an ethnic issue! People actually forget that there are Ijaws amongst the 27 assembly members whose salaries and allowances he refused to pay!

Yeah....
They also forgot that Wike used the Rivers State HC to put an Ijaw son who was a sitting federal legislator in prison/jail because he wanted Fubara to become a governor .

That time all these so called Ijaw never said they were insulted.

Damping Off in Nursery Beds

Good Evening & a beautiful Sunday to all. I will like to address an issue which over time has been popping up on my telegram with regards to nursery beds dying off after days or weeks of sprouting. Yes, I have had to deal with this abnormality most especially with my Soko nurseries. One week, they are all fine and the next day, it's like lapa-lapa (ringworm) caught my bed. . Most times I change my nursery area with few success recorded even so. But as time went by, I began to have a perfect understanding of what was happening with my nursery.

The Culprit - Damping Off
What I was experiencing wasn't some deliberate act of my village people to recover their lost benevolent Prince back to the village, neither was it some farm deity I was suppose to appease as a vegetable farmer. All that was happening was simply Damping off .

What's Damping Off?
Damping off is simple a disease of seedlings and the causative organism is a fungi or fungus brother sister . Oyinbo people even gave one of the major criminal responsible a name; Pythium species and Rhizoctonia solani, but them still get cousins & nephews that can also be responsible.
Once you think you have achieved a successful germination rate and want to start praising the seed vendor & variety you planted of achieving 90% to 95% success, these pathogens with turnup and do their thing. Next thing you start noticing;
1. Seedings thinning off at the base-line as if something deliberately cut it off
2. The base_line of the seedlings start rotting away.
3. Stunted growths in majority of the seedlings later on. Etc

Then the human nature in us starts calling our seeds plug frauds, thieves, barawos, Ole, 419 etc. calling them out for selling expired and bad seeds to us. . okoroemeke, emmaachile2, Jidestroud, Farmtech etc... una na fraud, you sold expired and bad seeds to us ...

The pathogens go just dey smile they tell me brother & sista, make una reduce the germination rate to 20%. At least them fit you that one hold body.

Causes of Damping Off

To be continued. . . (A little strong, but I'm in perfect health in Christ Name, Amen)

You are healed by the stripes of Jesus name, Amen. Receive strength and be strong in health.

Which primary schools or secondary schools exactly?
What did you know as a primary school child to go nform your decision regarding tribes and history?

My good friend.
..
Ibani people are ijaws.


Bonny and opobo are ijaws . Make no mistake.


Just as English interaction with Nigerians influence our lingua so was the interaction and inter marriages influenced the pidgin igbo while the ibani language was kept sacred for affluence in terms of decisions by elite and elders so the igbos slaves won't understand their plans or revoltbor plan an escape when they are to be sold .


Jaja was a slave igbos boy bought by his ijaw Masters of bonny come Opobo .

Of all the 23 ruling houses in bonny, 14 major houses sided jaja an igbo slave to be king while the he others fought on the side of Oko jumbo

Will the names of the institutions I attended give credibility to what I have spoken?

If your purported history class is anything to go for please mention the names of those whom you know very well that are from Bonny and Opobo who have been championing the Ijaw cause and who truly identify as Ijaws right from their kindergarten days till present?

Protest Erupts Over Wike's Controversial Statement on Ijaw Pride and Late Pa. E.K. Clark

Bayelsa, Nigeria — Tensions soared in Bayelsa State following the latest remarks made by Former Rivers State Governor and the FCT Minister- Nyesom Wike, which sparked a major protest led by the Ijaw National Frontiers. The protest was in response to Wike's controversial statement that described the Ijaw ethnic Nationality as Minority in the South. Wike's comments were perceived by many in the Ijaw States in the Niger Delta as an attack on the pride of the Ijaw people.

In a speech made earlier this week by Barr. Wike was perceived in a derogatory manner to the Late Ijaw Stateman Pa. E.K. Clark, a prominent Ijaw leader, a remark that many found disrespectful and divisive. Pa. E.K. Clark, who passed away in 2025, had long been a revered elder statesman, known for his tireless advocacy for the Ijaw people, their rights, and their cultural heritage.
Barr. Nyesom Wike should allow Gov. Sim Fubara to govern River state in peace, creating division and undermining the incumbent governor will would rather bridge the peaceful coexistence with the Ikwerre people and the Ijaw people will not take that from the FCT Minister- Nyesom Wike.

The Ijaw Nation condemned Wike's statement, calling it "an insult to the Ijaw people" and "an affront to the dignity of our ancestors." The protest which saw thousands of people gather in the heart of Bayelsa's capital, Onopa-Yenagoa to demand an apology from the FCT Minister- Wike and a public retraction of his comments.

In a speech, Presented by Mrs. Peremor Opiah (Spokesperson, Ijaw National Frontiers) emphasized that Pa. E.K. Clark’s contributions to the Ijaw nation could not be belittled by any individual, regardless of their position or status. She said, “Pa Clark’s legacy is etched in the history of our people. His work transcended generations and will continue to inspire. Any statement that seeks to diminish that legacy is a direct attack on the pride of every Ijaw man and woman.”
By the termination of the protest, the group submitted a letter to the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria - His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the commissioner of Police, Bayelsa state.

The protest, while peaceful, has created ripples within political circles, with many wondering whether this controversy could escalate into a larger ethnic or political conflict within the Niger Delta region.

Really........

Did this same Wike not donate a huge amount of funds to this people in their State for the modification of the building structure of the law school ?

And how was that fund managed by the SG?

eldoradoxx:
Tinubu thinks Wike is working for him, rather he is seriously demarketing Tinubu across the entire length and breath of the Niger Delta region. No single individual is more powerful than an entire region. Tinubu and his brothers of the South West might be used to god fatherism. Niger Delta is a different kettle of fish. Attempt by Wike to create a Lagos kind of god fatherism in Rivers will be resisted by even his own kinsmen let alone the people of Rivers State. Fubara has actually won the sympathy of the masses who are baying for a show down with Wike

Forget all this stuff you're seeing and many are saying.....
There's no such thing as de-marketing.
Which Rivers people would resist it and which of Wike's kinsmen?

Show me one notable person in Rivers State be it in politics or elsewhere that is not a godfather to others?
Juts because we dont get to hear or read of such.......
Do you even know what happens in the secret daily between some godfathers and their godsons?

Akinpresident:
Shut up!
Nurture which nonsense structure?
With which money?
Which part of the constitution approves nurturing of political structures with funds meant for development?

Is there any part of the constitution that allows him to go into whatever agreement backdoors with his benfeactor before becoming governor against all odds?

tunapawizzy:
Wike is like a badly-raised over-pampered boy who goes about abusing everybody because his daddy will protect him.
The people of Rivers state need to understand that everyone has different agenda on this rivers state issue. While the people of rivers want fubara to be their governor in peace, wike wants to call the shot and control things, Tinubus eyes is on someone that can rig rivers state for him the way wike did the last time, especially now that his votes in the north will decline come 2027- he needs rivers badly. Continuity of the crisis is to his advantage, he wants wike to have sufficient powers to repeat what he did for him in 2023. He wants wike Influential enough to keep disrupting PDP.
The rivers people looking up to the president for resolution of this matter are just whining themselves. He is so much in support of wike causing trouble.

This is one of those stories that's inconclusive.

Wike rigged Rivers State votes for Tinubu, really...
Even the media houses did not say of such....
Do you know what you mean by rigging the entire Rivers votes!!!!

Agbegbaorogboye:
This is the height of ignorance
Find out what ijaws call their traditional rulers and the first traditional ruler to use it in recorded history

Why don't you help me with that answer?
Let me know which of the ijaws are you referring to and the names given to their traditional rulers ?

peleson1:
The same history told us that ibani ijaws people of bonney ,the ruling house of bonny bought the slave boy jaja and then decided against selling him into slavery like others like him.
He was kept and he was cultured and given ijaws name and he later became a head of house and then civil broke out and the igbo slave that ijaws bought and made later became king .


That jaja a once igbo slave boy bought by the ijaws became king as an ijaw did not make ijaws igbo .
That Obama of Kenyan decent became the US president,that does not make all Americans Kenyans.


Pls no land grabbi

Which history told you that?

Something that is very obvious, you're coming here to say history told you..


Do you know anyone from Bonny who names and calls self to be an Ijaw person and even the Opobos?

Is it now because of politics and govenror that they will change and do what they have not done in previous times....


Some of us have childhood friends fr more than 30 years growing up from primary, secondary and tertiary and we have never had anyone of them identity themselves as Ijaws!!!!!!!


And if anyone is trying to bring in the issue of them being part of IYC and INC, that's for a different thing and those who know know.

michlins:
nothing bulletproof about that door. Tell the seller to stand behind the door and you shoot

He did not make mention of it being a bullet proof door but rather a security door.
They are too different things.

djon78:
No politician will ever heat up the political environment in Niger Delta like Wike. To almost cause problem that is prone to agitation.

Obj, Yaradua, GEJ, Buhari never did such. Then when you consider how strategic Niger Delta is to Nigeria. You will understand Wike goofed big time.

He wasn't tact in his dealings. GEJ even when he was President used tact even when he lost the election.

Tact is a very important strategy. Wike challenged and dared other parts of the country. Northerners even when they had power where tactful.

There is no such thing as heating the polity.
If it was heated we will know.

shinealight:
Obviously, another Danagogo that Wike must have denied the opportunity of becoming Governor. Such adviser can only lead Fubara astray. Chop I chop advisers!

Well, he made it clear to us that he has been writing informal letters to the legislative house and putting it on social media to invite same...


So if he is doing such now I guess we have to go online and seek out those he did during Wike tenure as governor

Alamkiir:
All this paid actors are making me laugh. Why is her fellow women from the same tribe ganging up on her and supporting Akpabio? Isn't it suspicious? What do they have to gain by supporting Akpabio?
All this just make me believe there is truth in what natasha is saying and that Akpabio is guilty

Its good if they are paid actors....
But i keep reading online that the Senator has several children with several men or husbands even before the one who is currently her husband!!!!
What is the story behind such?

Agbegbaorogboye:
And how is President Tinubu your business if I may ask?
So you expect the people of Opobo to come into the open and trade words with Wike over their tribal identity? Are you really serious?

Before Gov. Fubara became who he is presently do you know any Opobo person man or woman, boy or girl, who calls or name themselves to be Ijaw people?

djon78:
Actually you can't comprehend what I wrote that's why you wrote this.

Wike is rofo rofo politician. Nigeria don't even need his type again within political corridors of power. Look at how he's been heating up the political system.

Tell me one Northern politician that's behaved the way he does.

The northern governor who instigated the killing of christians in southern Kaduna.....
Is he better than Wike ?
The northern governor who told the FG and Tinubu that the north will teach him a lesson, are they any better than Wike?
The northern governors and politicians who are actually undermining themselves and their region any better than Wike who truly cares for the region?

The northern politicians who don't say anything when a Christian is killed in their domain all in the name of Muslim blasphemy are they better than Wike?

The northern politicians who say people from Niger republic ate their brethrens and should be allowed to grab lands belonging to christians in Nigeria.even as far away in the eastern part any better than Wike?

The northern politicians who think they are born to rule and would outwit the southerners any better than Wike?

The northern politicians who rained curses on the southerners calling them dogs and babbons and even said blood will pour any better than Wike?


I still ask, are you really a Nigerian or it's because of your hatred for Wike that you don't seem to sit down and think with your head for yourself!!!!

djon78:
You must be goofing or might have taken something. Perfect fit ke? I laugh in Swahili. Maybe you guys have been saying that within your groups.

You see Nasir El Rufai despite all said about Him. Wike no near Nasir El Rufai in anything. FCT minister Nasir El Rufai record can not be broken.

So you guys should stop taking that substance you guys have been taken.
Wike can never be VP of Nigeria talkles of a President. Wike will be worse than Abacha. Look at how he's been heating up the political system. Nigeria is complex and he can't handle the complexity of Nigeria.


Nigeria don't need a tough President. GEJ was the best temperament of a President. He lost election and saw that violence was at hand and called his opponent to congratulate Him.
GEJ saved Nigeria from serious crisis.
Even Buhari has shown to be a lenient Man, more lenient than the present One.

Nigeria needs a President that will unite this Nation. The other parts of the world are running away in development comparing Nigeria to her mates.

Nigeria s greatest resources is not even her natural resources but her human resources. Nigerians are doing crazy things in the diaspora.

My view changed when I studied overseas for 4 years as an international student. My school had Govs children, ministers children and ordinary Nigerian students like me. That changed my world view. Class work you will see Nigerian students doing excellently. Many other parts of the world look down on Africans but they get shocked when they see blacks way smarter than them.

I won't forget one Indian babe in my class confessed to me that her perceptions about Africans changed. People they feel inferior where beating them in class.


Nigeria is blessed. But our leaders are the problem. Leadership should be held by patriots not ethnic baiters, but genuine patriots that truly believe in building a great Nation.

Nigeria has the potential to be a 3 trillion dollars economy. Even the whites know this. But they will not allow a smart leader to rule Nigeria.

We needs a smart, intelligent, peaceful leader. I wonder how Buhari didn't push for a man like Prof yemi Osibanjo if he really wanted good for this country to succeed Him. Akimwumi Adesina, Ngozi Okonjo iweala, Nasir El Rufai etc are the kind of presidents that should rule Nigeria. But rofo rofo politicians that feed on the resources of this country won't allow it.

Are you sure you're from Africa and Nigeria to be specific?

Splashme:
So, the famous King Jaja of Opobo
was not Ijaw?

That is laughable. Wike talks
before he thinks
.

Before all this politics of selfish interest, do you know any one from Opobo who calls himself an Ijaw man or woman?

Bobloco:
…says FCT minister disparaging group after meeting with Tinubu

…group threatens to pull out of peace move




https://tribuneonlineng.com/pandef-accuses-wike-of-blocking-peace-efforts-in-rivers-crisis/

Had it been that the SC judgement didn't favour the 27 legislators, I'm sure we would be hearing a different story from this committee.

What we have here is people who don't want to accept their fate but will want to find a way to dribble themselves in issues they are losing.


So now we are being told that the purported letter as signed by the SSG was an informal one.......
What an interesting turn of events.

[quote author=CapitalLens post=134551331][/quote]He recalled his initial agreement with the Governor to foster unity and progress, but expressed regret over the subsequent breakdown of trust and the adoption of policies that deviated from their shared vision.




Wike keeps saying it over and over and he is consistent.....
But I wonder why and when Gov. Fubara will tell the people his own version rather than what we are meant to believe from the mouth of those who claim to know what the agreement was and is.....

Dalohad:
Ijaws have produced the president. Wike can only dream of getting to that height. He will only be president in his dream.

Let him keep wasting his money to contest. The North, East and the SW (who are deceiving him) can never vote him. In the SS, no SS state will vote him, even in his own Rivers state, he depends only rigging, bribery and electoral violence to steal votes.

Let Wike contest next election, if he is confident of winning..

You are the one deceiving yourself....

You have no idea whats happening and youre living in past glory.

It's that same rigging the incumbent governor is enjoying.

When it gets to that time where he succeeds in becoming the presidential aspirant for the party then you'll be surprised that there are lots of people in those places you mentioned that will vote for him.

I know a lot will be pained though having seeing that Wike is going to achieve what they can't.


Also the ijaws have not produced a president. What they got is first a gift and compensation.
The time they could have produced a president, it so happened that they lost the election to PMB.

Flexyup:
This same people shouting wike wike where the same people counting scores fubara 4 wike 0.... Now how far?

[quote author=ZombieDredd post=134547478][/quote]If I dey reason like Wike..

Please help me tell me who you dey reason like?

Dalohad:
If you are Ijaw and you are still supporting Wike, you are a nincompoop..

That drunkard called Wike must be taught a bitter lesson.

Fishes have brain but it all depends on the size of the brain with corresponding size of the fish....


Please tell us what has the Ijaw done and achieved for themselves that is lasting giving the political environment they call Nigeria?


Also mention the ijaws in the political environment that can better Wike in the scope of political affairs ?

richmond500:
This is not about Fubara.
The Thanksgiving has too much tension with a lot of threats here in Rivers.
The Amayanabo did a good thing cos someone might die if that thing holds.
Also he received a letter that Dr Kelly wants to celebrate his own appointment only for it to turn out it's Wikes thanksgiving

It has all the handwriting of Pro Fubara on it.
Dr. Kelly wants to do Thanksgiving as regards his appointment and his boss Wike will be in that occasion because Dr. Kelly will say thank Wike and also tell the community or should I say those in attendance to thank Wike for being instrumental to this new appointment......

E no pass like that.
But because there is acrimony between Fubara and Wike, people will claim there will be trouble......
Who will cause trouble?
The worst that can happen is that Wike will throw a jab at the audience?
Who cares!!!

It is like saying you don't want to hear Wike's name being mentioned in your domain!!!!

Or is the Amayanabo scared that he will be sanctioned by Gov. Fubara or is it that they will say Wike has come again to insult the ijaws!!!!!
