He is very good at capital projects, ostentatious projects which offer a lot of kickbacks.

But as for projects which really touch the grassroots, projects which really address the challenges of life faced by the downtrodden and lowly in the society, projects which have a direct bearing on the welfare of ordinary Nigerians,

Wike scores a capital ZERO.

Please mention the projects that you think the FCT Minister is yet to do or has not done that will have direct bearing on the welfare of the ordinary Nigerian?


Mind you, the Hon. Senator Ireti Kingibe is yet to sponsor any bills of such be it direct or indirect. She is the one who is a direct representative of the people and should know what the people needs. She in her high pride have refused to approach the FCT Minister to form an alliance to bring such into play.
If she feels the FCT Minister will come and be looking for her to beg her then she's mistaken. She's the one who is supposed to do that begging.

press9jatv:
you mean e go shock the clueless loser empty chest beater Wike abi. Dey play here

The election season is not quite far.
She can choose to keep constituency funds to herself when it's released. She can choose to do reasonable development projects with it when it's given her. We will see her scorecards and sum it all during the campaign season and see if she's worthy to be re-elected.
We have learnt certain lessons and have learnt it the hard way. For it's good for things to happen that way otherwise none would have not known who is a friend or enemy.

Says someone who was only appointed and not elected, you think Abuja is like your local govt were u manipulated the result in the full glare of the people and international community all condemning the Rivers election.
Even in Aso rock, apc has always lost and that election cannot be rigged. You're here challenging a woman that was overwhelmingly voted for by the good people of FCT

They voted for LP and the person behind the party is not doing anything meaningful other than castigating the FCT!!!
Is it because he is a Southerner?
Can she even try such if he were from the North?
The FCT Minister is not answerable to her but to the President.
What her she done to better the lives of those she represents?

If the FCT Minister is not working at least give him kudos to be able to establish a FCT Civil Servant Commission. It would take 100 years for anyone even thise from the North t do what Hon. Wike has achieved in such short duration.
Irrespective of whatever odds, the FCT Minister is a very very good ++++ in this administration whether one loves him or not.

press9jatv:
Wike is never a electorate in Abuja city Center. He’s a stranger in Abuja. All this empty threat from Wike will never hold any water. Wike is just a clueless empty chest beater niii. Governor Fubara has defeat Wike flawlessly in Rivers State politics.

E go shock you.

001 has spoken. Kingibe thinks the FCT Minister is someone she wants to rubbish. Her shoulder pads will be brought down.
I love it when the FCT Minister said.....how many bills has she sponsored as a legislator to aid those she represents!!!!!
She thinks because she is from the North, she wants to speak high and mighty. Well it's a pity, just as you think to speak ill of the FCT Minister you'll have to test your popularity at the pools come 2027.

When they have nothing to say they just come out to say it. Imagine someone talking such about the NSA. How I wish he could be this vocal about BH, ISWAP, etc,etc, bedeviling the North.

Only for PH Refinery, we have been told several dates by different people within and outside the sector and still not feasible.
Now they have merged PH, Warri and Kaduna Refineries, telling again then time due it to start operations!!!
Are we not tired of the lies?
I won't even mention the Minister of Petroleum...

EponObi:
The North never left the theater of terrorism. What the f*ck is the Dubai president saying?

Buhari - the son of the North - couldn't wipe out terrorism and banditry from your region for 8 years but you expect Tinubu to perform magic in 1 year. Anyways, he already responded to you all: he purposely gave most of the military slots to the Northerners because he believe they know their people and terrain better; so should be able to fight the insecurity in their region better than southerners. In other words, insecurity will be defeated when you people are ready. Make Atiku dey play!

The North is not interested in ending terrorism or even mitigating it in ways that news of it will be insignificant. Irrespective of the Northerns given military slots and even the office of the NSA, they won't bring it down. In this they are all brothers in arms.
But if such slots be given to a Southerner, then you'll see results just as it was in the days of PGEJ , but we were told that the President and the FG are killing their brothers who are insurgents. Probably there's no oil or gas in those areas that's why they are not bothered.

US, UN condemn Borno bombing, Tinubu vows to crush B’Haram



https://punchng.com/us-un-condemn-borno-bombing-tinubu-vows-to-crush-bharam/

Nigeria is a nation full with several fanatics.
Atiku is condemning the attack of a suicide bomber but he did not condemn the attack made on the life of Deborah.

Peter Obi will still come out and condemn this attack but he has never condemned the attacks made by UNGM, IPOB, all those whose way to enforce sit at home is to kill them. You kill your own kinsmen, the same people you claim you want to liberate. Yet, those who give such commands enjoy liberty in their comfort zones.
We are a hypocritical people.
Those Northern elites and politicians going to visit Buhari, do they have the interest of the North at heart because they are the ones who soonsored terrorists in the North and this is where we are today. Some even went ahead to call them their brothers, giving them monies and after sometime their words and actions became a snare to them. Are these the same people that want to become President of the FRN?
Let the North think for themselves. The woes they caused they should quench it. The NSA is from the North, they should do well to quench the terror in the North. If they can't do it in this administration then they are not fit to run. We just had a Northerner leave that office after 8 years.

Bobloco:


You are such a 🤡

Let me ask you, did Tinubu and his allies allow the south to do a complete 2 tenures of 8 years in 2015?

Simply put, PGEJ lost that election because he refused to amends his ways and refused to make peace with certain those who were supposed to ensure victory did not go the way it went because he held on to wrong advice from people who taught they knew the game.

AMINDA:
There is no-one from the North who doesn't know that Elrufai's travails from Uba Sani is being orchestrated by people around the Presidency. First you denied him the ministerial slot after sending emissaries to ask him to accept to work with you, then you sponsor fictitious probe against arguably the best northern governor in recent times, all in a bid to smear his reputation. Despite all Elrufai did for his election, and after promising publicly to work with him?

Tinubu lost me and a lot of other northern voters with that treacherous behaviour. Elrufai is not a small northern politician and it would have paid Tinubu more to have him by his side. Tinubu's strategy appears to be withering the influence of strong northern politicians by sponsoring chaos in their states through fictitious probes, and fueling emirship crisis. This will turn out to be the archiles heel of Tinubu. You can't beat a child and expect him not to cry.

No matter how strong you think Tinubu is, he can not choose a leader for the Northerners. Northerners decide their fate and choose their own leaders. The current turnaround of Northerners against Tinubu is largely as a result of this betrayal of strong northern figures in favour of much less influential northerners who cannot even deliver votes for him. Tinubu has successfully scattered APC with his own hands and he doesn't even have the whole South on lockdown. He has silently dropped off all other blocs that came together to form the party in favour of only the ACN and non-APC members, preferring to take it all. We hope he can perform enough to get the entire south to align with him in 2027. We watch!

Fictitious probe you call it.
Yes, it's true nobody can choose for the North except the North. I guess this time around the North will have to rule the North.
While the South will rule the South and the East likewise will do the same.
We are getting there and 2027 is the beginning of greater things to come.

Bobloco:
The North, and by extension, Nigerians of all tribes and religions, are already resolute in their quest to see the end of this calamitous Tinubu regime come 2027. A regime that is now reputed to be the worst in the history of this country.

And the good thing about it is that no mutherfucker will preach southern unity to the people of southern Nigeria because they will be reminded that Tinubu and his allies worked against southern unity in 2015 when he ganged up against Goodluck Jonathan and truncated an opportunity for the south to have an unbroken eight-year tenure.

Nigerians of all tribes, ethnicity and religion now wants a regime that will put food on their table and make life more meaningful, not the one that takes away food from their table and improverished their lives. 

You succeeded in writing a ove letter to a lost old gf.
If the North brings a Northern candidate, that is their cup of tea. They will have to rule the North.
The South will do a complete 2 tenure of 8 years. We all know that PO and the LP will not allign with North for any position other than the No. 1 office and the North won't be agreeing to such.

Namigotalktru:


I’m sure what you wrote makes sense to you but if you the people owned your state BH would not be there collecting all your local governments again while you the people do nothing, again. Smh

Yes, it makes sense to me.
Apologies, but I don't come from where BH or any insurgents overrun our lands. Such don't exist where I come from.

tishbite42:

Everyone loves AAB. He's coordinated like his Dad. SLS is a rabble rouser . A hypocritical one for that one. That's why the political class detest him.

Facts @the bolded.

tishbite42:

It is obvious that AAB has Federal backing now. SLS had none then

They never thought it would happen the way they conceived their plans. A coup they thought to have accomplished favourably.
SLS should have just moved away and not have accepted his re-installment. This cannot be erased from the history books of the Emirate. But it's good it happened now.
I think I like Ado Bayero, you don't get to see him talk much in public unlike SLS who makes public remarks the way politicians do without hesitation and rethink.

[quote author=tishbite42 post=130710289]

Kano politicians are the cause of their troubles.

Namigotalktru:


Based on Nigerian law. The state government and governor decide on issues of traditional leadership.

Bayero is an uncouth and most unroyal leech. What is the do or die? When they split the royal house into 5 why didn’t he speak out? But he set aside his pride of his lineage to inherit one fifth of a royal line.

Out of greed he is still here shaming his ancestors struggling to be emir of Nasarawa smh.

No matter what happens, the state governor owns the state. Anything to attack the power of the governor in their own state means the central government is ready to lose not just 2027 but today as governors will work against them. Ask Obj and third term agenda smh

I laugh in kanuri.
The only people who own the State are those who are governed and not those who govern. That is the fact.

tishbite42:

You really understand this
Men like Dantata are behind Aminu Ado Bayero

I strongly disagree but I may be wrong.
The day Dantata went to see PBAT and it was made public, it only took a few hours afterward for we to hear that Ado Bayero gas been dethroned and not allowed entry into Kano Airport as directed by the State Governor and the State House Assembly.
One good thing about it all is that the SG and SHA did not envisage that their actions will be overturn and that Ado Bayero will resist them unlike how SLS handled his when he was dethroned.

A very strong power is behind this man's audacity. He can't dare within his own powers. Someone somewhere is doing something to burn down Kano.

No one is going to burn down Kano except those who feel they could weild power and undo the one who is seated in the mini palace. Some day let SLS write a book concerning all this after all it is a family affair. Politicians will come and go but the Emir stool will remain forever even though maybe it may abolished someday, those who are of royal blood will have their bloods coloured

gare:


Lots of them, even more than the states without any political challenges or godfatherism, and his projects are legendary, by this time next year he may have surpassed what Wike did in 8yrs,

So find out before you come online to ask sarcastic questions

Political challengers is only but a childish excuse any politician uses to not do projects. I don't know what you mean by legendary projects!!!! I'll appreciate if you'll be kind to mention them and their locations if any have started. Thanks.

Fubara will likely defect from PDP before 2027's general election

Except if he is looking for sympathy vote, there are people who pull more grassroots than him. He is only now enjoying a privilege position and it only comes once. Good a thing he has become more popular because of Wike and is trending here and there in any news.

Carnaged:
The person is aware right from beginning. We dey together the dey this cult guy first bring back the issue. And he really shock me becoz he done tey when he happen so i was like this guy still keep this thing for mind till now. The yesterday own as i reach hostel i tell am, he come even dey vess becoz him too dey complain about the cult guy.

He even tell me say we go approach the cultist today so that he go stop that word, but my mind nor really dey cause he fit led to wahala(as pal na school i come oo). There was even a time the cultist use the word that if nor be the guy when introduce am to me, he for done do me strong thing.

And for the other guy him na student 100l too and he no join anything na 48 like me.

If you are a Christian, attach yourself with one of the faithful Bible believing fellowships, do it committedly and also go for evangellsim. Whenever you see him make it a point of duty to preach the gospel of Christ Jesus to him that he may be saved.

Carnaged:
Hi nairaland! gud morning. I have a little complain nd need advise.

Okay. Let's say you are a student(100l) you leave in a place populated by a certain cult(vikings) so early this year, you had an issue with ur door, needed to fix it so someone called someone who happens to be a vikings member. He came check the door gave you a particular cost, which you told him you couldn't afford to pay he left and you later find a way of fixing the door through the same person that call the so-called cultist for you.

Now he still brings this matter till date telling you, you used him to play, threatening you that if he decides to order boys, say them go play you or obtain you even ruff handle you(nd you are not new in this cult thins oo, just that you are not a member of any, 48) he have said this thing twice, even yesterday night he said it to me. Now this is not a today or yesterday something, and as far as am concerned i didn't do anything wrong to this guy, i even dash am smoke few days back so i nor know why he still dey repeat the matter.

My issue self nor be the matter make he dey repeat but the fact say for am to dey repeat the matter(which is not even an issue at all) with threat means he got me in his mind which is not gud at all for me. I have made a decision that i will not greet him again nd will do my best to avoid him. Infact i regretted ever knowing him if nor be the guy make bring am to me becoz of my door we for nor even dey relate at all. I nor know say na so injus guys dey behave very bad, nd he is not even a student self.

Have you informed the person who introduced him to know the threat words he is using towards you and what was his response?
The person who introduced you to him is he a student just as you are and is he also a member just as the other guy is?

Olaide1295:
Hello all,

I bought a duplex last year and completed it. I wanted to install a water pressure pump recently, so I called a plumber to help assess the plumbing.
He says the plumbing of the house (which was done before I purchased it) was done with inferior quality pipes.
Is there any solution to this? Or a water pressure pump with adjustable pressure.
Thanks

Look for another good plumber and let him come and do a pressure test on all the pipes in the entire building. Be sure to be around to check as it's being done or send someone who do same.
That way you can make a better decision.

chris51:




How loyal was Wike to his predecessors. Let's call a spade a spade.

If there's anyone of them that has anything against him they could not resolve let them come out and say. I am yet to hear even a slight gossip.
It's as easy as that.

Kobojunkie:
I asked you instead of what the River's State Constitution says on this. Knowing that is the only way to be clear on whether it is in fact unconstitutional.

So you are saying those Muslims who kill those who they claim to blaspheme Mohammed are in the right because they acted out of the Sharia Constitution in their States and because it's a State law and constitution, it supercedes the law and constitution of the FRN?
Is that what you're saying?

Kobojunkie:
1. The power to install Caretaker Local Government existed in the state laws during the time of Wike as well, and he used it
2. The lawmakers who decamped from PDP to APC did attempt to deprive the Fubara Government of that same power by amending the laws but ultimately failed in their plot.

So, if the law makers themselves acknowledged by their attempt that such a provision is in fact contained in River State Law, what is it that you are trying to argue here?

I have myself not been able to see the actual law in order to ascertain whether it is constitutional or not myself but if you had kindly display it here so I too can see what you mean when you claim it is unconstitutional.

What does Section 7 of the 1999 Constitution provide for?
Section 7(1) states emphatically that “The system of local government by democratically elected local government councils is under this constitution guaranteed; and accordingly, the government of every state shall subject to section 8 of this constitution, ensure their existence under a Law which provides for the ..
I hope the attached file is found by you. Please do well to read it. That's the closest I can find.

Kobojunkie:
They were? I found this while searching...
...meaning the power is or was available by way of the state law which I still can't locate for reasons behind me. It seems the dubious lawmakers attempted who lost their seats because they switched parties tried to pull a fast one on the governor but failed.

Villagepipu & Bixton

Caretaker Chairmen is very unconstitutional. That is why everyone incoming governor removes the LGA Chairmen in place even though they were elected because the outgoing governor only did the election of bringing them properly just some few months to the end of his tenure. That has been the practice. Theres hardly any governor who does it right.

You seem not to have followed the issue from the beginning and what led to their social media decamping.

Omooba77:



https://punchng.com/breaking-sokoto-assembly-passes-emirate-council-amendment-bill/

I don't even understand this issue anymore. Why will the Sultan be the one to appoint kingmakers?
This practice shows that something is wrong about that and there really is no royal houses in place.
The history of the entry of the Fulani's and their Jihadist movement into Northern Nigeria and Nigeria at large needs to be looked into.

Smartcitizen:



The constitution gave a grace period of 90 days to conduct the election.

Please put that constitution on here for all to see it as it's written. Is it a State constitution of a Federal Constitution?
Thanks.

Nevertheless that same constitution of the Federal Government of Nigeria disapproves of Caretaker Chairman to be appointed.
We all know that the Constitution of the FRN supercedes all other constitution and everyone is expected to abide and adhere to it.

Kobojunkie:
When a person is elected into office, even at the local government level, the person is essentially said to have received a mandate to serve for a specified term in a specified area, etc., by the people who elected him into power.

I don't pick words and stick to one aspect of it. Mandate encompasses alot of things. If it's not done then there was no mandate. By the way the people never actually choose a leader.
