Absolutely nonsensical.
Not quite long the FG promised NLC that if they insisted on 200.000 naira as minimum wage then the FG will increase the pump price. This was what the purported labour leaders were told and in return they came and told those they claim they were fighting for and the rest is history by all.......
There's no sense in anyone who would believe this same labour leaders and also the FG and those who have turned the PH Refinery into a sham of different kinds of stories,come today and tomorrow.

Atiku and his aides for all I care can bend whatsoever narratives they can and look to people who would tow their paths.
Any person who follows this sets of people in their thoughts and kind of arguments is not but the devil who takes different forms.
There's no such thing called equity if they use the narrative they are playing saying the North has been shortchanged.
As far as the presidency is concerned and the Nigerian constitution is, the death of President Yar'Adua has nothing to do with the North been short changed whatsoever. If that card the North is playing then anyone elsewhere from the other regions doing same as extremely gullible.
Then one can imagine what would be said of the East that has not produced the President and even Vice President.
From the entire narrative it's most important that the constitution be amended to ensure that presidents and vice presidents are rotated and come from the size geopolitical zones rather than this shitty North and South arrangement because this is nothing of we are to talk of true equity by those who claim to talk of equity.
PoliticsRe: Chief Of Air Staff Commissions Ultra-modern Residences Built By Gov. Sim Fubara by bixton(m): 8:53am On Dec 10, 2024
SimFubaraNews:
The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan B. Abubakar, has officially commissioned two blocks of 12 modern 2-bedroom flats built by the Sim Fubara-led administration for the Nigerian Air Force.

Speaking at the event, Gov. Fubara reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to national security and the welfare of service personnel; "This project started way back in 2017 but was left unfinished. When we came in, we knew the welfare of our Air Force officers couldn’t wait. These are the heroes protecting our national treasures from oil theft and pipeline vandalism. Completing this project is just a little way of saying, ‘We see your sacrifices, and we appreciate you.’"

The project, which cost N454 million to complete, speaks volumes about his government’s focus on impactful leadership. "Our support isn’t just for our communities and LGAs; we extend it to the institutions keeping Rivers State safe," Gov. Fubara emphasized.

Rivers State continues to shine under Governor Fubara's leadership, delivering impactful projects that matter!
A project started 2017 and completed with 454 million Naira by the present administration. I don't know if this is the former governor's project but there's nothing ultra modern in this design and it's seems like Gov. Fubara does not have a taste for good designs and it seems like his tenure will be riddled with low taste in building and construction plans in Rivers State.
Nevertheless, I guess in a few days to come he would be spewing some children words against his predecessor and purported enemies of the State.
Your chopping as governor is highly appreciated. Continue and ride on.

It was not quite long that we were told that Discos have been given the mandate through their agents to upgrade and change all old prepaid meters....

If that is the case why will the FG issuing out free prepaid meters when they should just allow the Discos and metering companies to go on and install free prepaid meters and do their deductions through the billing patterns rather than these...
All these are just strange and unbelievable unnecessary avenues created to siphon the nations funds through proxies, cronies and family members.

This statement by PDP should noy end there. PDP should officially write the Speaker of the HoR to declare the seat vacant and INEC conduct new elections. PDP should also file a case in the FHC to ensure that seat is declared vacant too. Likewise all political parties whose members recently did same too.

Who says Ohanenze does not have absolute opinion on the creation of Anoima State when Sen. Ned is an Igbo man and he chooses to take away his place out from the South South region and br part of the South East, shocked shocked

This same reason Ohanenze wants former governor Rotimi Amaechi to become their Presidential General of the Igbos since thye say it's the turn of the Rivers State Igbos to view for the position.

Probably the Igbos in Cross River and Akwa Ibom States will clamour for their and be added to the South East.

The Judge himself is known as an APC judge in Kano due to the fact , he has given different judgements in the past in favour of APC/APC urchins Vs Opponents. It's a federal Might/Ganduje Vs State government matter tho which might not end well for Tinubu Nd co if they push their luck.
The purported Kano State governor alongside Emir SLS are over pushing their luck.
Do you think Emir Ado does not have what it takes to ensure the part of Kano he controls ensures that they give PBAT full support come 2027?
Remember the NSA will not just seat down and watch his daughter who is married to Emir Ado treated like she is nothing.
Emir SLS did lots of wrong and ought not to have gone back, but I guess they all have a play towards 2027 so the game they want to play they should be ready to put on their special dancing shoes. It's not going to be the usual politics. PBAT understands their ways and moves and he knows just what to do to get it done.

Do you know how a conventional wars are been fought? If Nigeria is at war with Ghana today do you think Ghana will be targeting Ekiti,Ebonyi or Bornu? The target would be for them to capture the nation capital, they will try to attack viable infrastructures like bridges, refineries etc and that means Lagos, PH and other economical viable states.
Biafrans troops were in Ore marching towards Lagos(the then Nigeria capital) before they were repelled but some non war experts feels that the battle was to take over Lagos and make it become part of the east. Do you the biafran troops to attack Ondo or Ekiti where there's nothing of significant values? If the war were to be fought today then the direction would have been Abuja.
You people should just get some brains and stop making it look like everybody wants to colonize your Lagos.
Your description of conventional war is incorrect.
How did Biafran soldiers find themselves marching enroute to Lagos from Ore without actually capturing the areas before Ore or those areas pledging support to them?

He got zero from the se and in the ss, he was only picking 25 percent here and there. His Saviour was a divided opposition.

Kukutente23:
From all indications, deliberations on the proposed tax bills have been suspended by both Houses of NASS.

The north quickly reached a consensus and gathered round it to ensure that their voice was the loudest and their interest most paramount. They started with the economic inequality they suspected in the bill and threw a sucker punch no one saw coming by introducing religion to the mix at the critical hour. They claimed the inheritance law aspect of the bill was against Islam.

Unfortunately, it seemed our southern Muslims are not really grounded in Islamic knowledge or maybe just subservient because I have not heard any rebuttal to that allegation that the bill is anti-Islam. Where is MURIC?! You know when such thing is raised, even Northerners that are for the bill like Dogara who is even a christian will quickly backtrack before a fatwa is issued against him.

While the Northern Governors Forum and the Northern Senators Forum and other Northern groups were releasing statements upon statements to vent their angst with the bill, their southern counterparts were as silent as night. Meanwhile majority of southerners felt a form of equity they've longed for was in the bill.

This shows the fundamental difference between southern politicians and their Northern counterparts. Southern politicians are basically selfish and self- serving and after their own interests. There's no regional interest in their thinking. In 2022, when it seemed from Buhari's body language that he wanted the presidency retained in the north, the southern governors hurriedly reignited the southern governors Forum. Recently when there were subtle threats of impeachment against Akpabio, Southern Senators Forum was formed hurriedly as well. Where are both organs today in a matter majority of southerners across ethnic and political divide seem to agree?

That is the fundamental reason the north will always have the upper hand in the conundrum called Nigeria. They have identified what binds them and they are not shy to hold on to it. They were not shy to defend their poverty and "unproductiveness". I remember a similar case occurred with the PIB. The Niger Delta wanted 10% for the host communities and 3% for inland oil exploration which basically happens in the north. We all saw Northern figures like the Sultan and others making moves and by the time the bill was signed, it was 10% for the oil exploration and 3% for host communities. There was no southern Senators Forum to raise hell then. In fact, the claim then was that it was because the north was heading all the arms of government.

But what of today, the South is heading all the arms of government yet we can't get ordinary tax bill passed. So how will the south achieve the so-called resource control, state police, fiscal federalism and regionalism which are even more knotty issues. Akpabio, Wike etc etc are suddenly silent. They can't take on the north. Southerners are grumbling and threatening on social media while the north walked their talk and spoke with one voice from the ordinary man to their biggest elites in government!

It's time southerners realise they are their biggest problem in Nigeria. There's no group interest. One rabble rouser on social media who is also from the south was even subtly looking to throw blame on a major southern ethnic group in order not to offend the north. Talk of being a proverbial house nigger. That's the apt description of most southern politicians and political entities.
Please can you enlighten me as to what relationship does inheritance law and Islam has to do with the reform tax bill because this is the first place I'm reading its because of the inheritance law that the bill is somewhat suspended......?
