DIVINEEVIDENCE:
The US has been known to be quite selfish when it comes to international trade.

I really wish we had the capacity to be self-sufficient in some of these tradable services and commodities so we can logically remove them from imports and still live comfortably.

Unfortunately, one cannot think of any aspect that we can boast of being self-sufficient in; and even the few attempts by the government to attain self-sufficiency has always been hijacked and sabotaged by figures operating under the Nigerian spirit of greed and selfishness.

We need to sit up to these foreign meddlers.

Imagine the US telling us how to operate our markets.

What rubbish!

Selfish and they suffered trade deficit for several years?

You don't know what you are saying.

Fact check me, most women from iboland are either prostitutes or birthing and selling of their babies below the prices of a day old chicken in various baby factories in iboland and beyond or are online, prowling different types of olosho apps, Tinder etc looking for who to sleep with them for sustainability.
Why are women pushed into these types of vices?
What is the cultural connections between ibo women and prostitution? Na war ooo

Keep fooling yourself

[quote author=bixton post=134895290][/quote]You keep running round in circles, treating the symptoms instead of the cause of the sickness.

When you acknowledge that Wikes plan and motive is evil, weather he signs agreement with Fubara or any other willing politician, I would then take you serious.

bixton:
I am very sure you know where the money is kept both the State governments and that of the FG......please take a walk into the place and collect it for yourself.

Keep fooling yourself.

That why we are a 3rd world shithole, ppl like you supporting bad governance are responsible for the failure of this country.

CoronaVirusPro:
Trust me, you wouldn’t want to know.

I am only glad you could not debunk any of my claims.

I cam comfortably debunk your claims, I just don't have the luxury of time.

Kenn55:
Why do some of you make stupid arguments for the sake of arguments. You have agreed that credit is good so why have you been ranting?
If an idiot misuses the credit system to damage himself, is it the fault of the system or the person?

A system has been put in place for people who are not rich to use wisely and better their life. It is not compulsory to use credit so I don't understand the brouhaha.

I'm getting close to living in the west for a decade yet I haven't owned a brand new car not cos I can't walk into a dealership to finance one but cos I don't finance liabilities which I consider a car to be, I instead finance assets. I know with time, I'll own a brand new car but time never reach, I'm not in a hurry.

I have seen some people who drive brand new Mercedes cos they can finance it, paying ridiculous money monthly so they can do big man for us in church. i have seen someone who used money from his line of credit to throw a big party in Nigeria to appear rich etc. When kasala burst, will it be the fault of the system that they were stupid or their fault?

I saw an emerging opportunity with morderna and I capitalized cos I had access to credit. There are smart guys in Nigeria who can't capitalize on oportunnities cos they lack access to credit. There are people who have been renting a house in Lagos for over 20 years cos they just can't afford to own one, if 20 years ago, they were offered a mortgage, wouldn't they have finished paying for it while still living in it and enjoying it?

If billionaires still leverage on credit even when they can generate cash to fund their businesses, why can't we leverage credit to build our assets?

Brother, credit is the best thing after slice bread. If you are not disciplined or financially literate enough to effectively use it to your advantage, it is on you and not the system.

Well said.

Fujiyama:
^^^
The question is this: do the majority of us here in Nigeria really have peace? Or do we just have different problems?

Yes, the US system does keep you running. But the Nigerian system keeps you running too - its just that its a different kind of running.

The USA isn't anywhere near a model to hold up as a template for balanced, fulfilled living. That country is actually living on borrowed time. But there is still a system that has some rules at least. You just have to know what those rules are.

Nigeria also has a 'system'...but the capriciousness of that system will upend you one time, every time.

I have some simple rules I try to live by here in Nigeria: avoid will all your might, anything that will take you to the police station, the courtroom or the medical emergency room. The odds are against you from the get go. Avoid these places and one may, one just may get the peace we are all looking for.

True

CoronaVirusPro:
You did not point out the lies. Just state where I lied and will throw fact at you.

Do you outrightly own your home in the US after paying it off? Why you will forever keep running. Cos it can be taken away from you if you default or taxes go haywire.

How about health unforeseen health complications? Do you have an idea how low it can take you? How many peeps got exclusive health insurance that could hold a million dollars?

Why if you hold much in the country and winning, you keep running till you stop breathing.

You own nothing! As a matter a fact, it is a business yo wait for people to get broke so you can scoop their homes cheap.

The system is built to make you keep running. A successful person in Nigeria is happier and more at peace than 90% of Americans irrespective of Nigerias economic woes.

Do you even know that system, I can take you deeper. It’s a structure I have studied for long. Illusion that you winning and own it when you own nothing!

Stop arguing what you don't know.
It's obvious you have not lived in US before.

Sister Judith is a Registered US Nurse
- Sister Judith has a US passport
- Sister Judith has been single, possibly on low rent in US while cashing out steady for years
- Sister Judith with her money and US passport cannot put herself out there in Nigeria for 2 years and not find a sane young man(REASONABLE one o, not yahoo boy or lowlifers)
-Reasonable boy too managing with his decent job with decent income of 250k-350k/month will not see Sister Judith's green flag and not rush her, considering the relationship will come with likelihood of US residency. If the boy get better IT skill- the idea of sister Judith a US citizen will look to him like-"this is God sending me an angel to reward me for all the wahala PDP and APC have put me through
- Dont forget Sister Judith is a registered US nurse, if she steps foot on US soil on a Sunday morning, there is a very high possibility that she will resume as a Nurse somewhere by Monday Morning.

Sister Judith is living her life on a working template. Go abroad, secure papers, go back home, get a reasonable boy, after he has successfully impreganated you, bring him to the US as husband. The worst that will happen to sister Judith is that the boy will leave her- but child support will be sure.

If your profile is not similar to sister Judith's, dont mind Sister Judith, customize your own path.

Amazing analyses

Bad guy.

Bolded 1....
Is it because Wike called all the shots?
Then why did Fubara agree to such knowing fully well what he is going into....
You don't expect me to believe that Fubara did not know......Is it ignorance or absent mindedness?
What exactly was Fubara bringing to the table and why did he not present some of his own people even if they were just 3 in number?

Bolded 2......
Well there's a level of madness in everyone.....some can get away with theirs, others will meet those who will match them level for level.....
It was the same overbearing that Fubara wanted to use on the RSHA that resulted in this blow out....
He wanted to reign in and rule like his predecessor, but he should have known better......He was thinking he is now governor.....it's just a title if you don't have real grassroots followers and not social media sympathizers.....
Those who claimed are with him, have they not closed their mouths.....


Wike knows Rivers State and he knows them well....many have compromised because of money.....


I want to believe you knew how and what led to the emergence of Amaechi as governor.......there were no voices in the Rivers State to contend with him. Not until the issue of PGEJ and wife came up and ot was only Wike who rose to the occasion to fight Gov. Amaechi and Wike was a Minister, then......


Now, when Wike became Governor, all those who didn't have voices during Amaechi's tenure were given one by Gov. Wike and they all enjoined it......
Until the PDP presidential primaries occured and those who were on Atiku's side from Rivers State whom Wike had given them voices turned against them and he in turned showed them that they were truly and actually no body's....


That is the story line and that's the sorry state of affairs that Fubara wanted to overturn because he felt he couldn't do the wishes of his successor....


If not for Wike, it will be very distance and distant for an Opobo man to become Governor of Rivers State.....
Every Rivers person knows that....

All this long epistle for someone who does not know you exist or has any of your intrest at heart.

Like I said b4 Nigeria and Africans deserves the kind of leaders they have.

If all you wrote is to justify Wike's action then you are far from be sensible and honest.

Nigeria is the only country that bans product they don't have substitute for

Tell me why is there a ban in frozen turkey? Do we have any substantial turkey industry?

Why is there a ban in stock fish? Is there any stock fish in our waters?

Why should there be any tariffs on wheat

Why should we ban fish like Titus and kote? Even shawa... We have no local substitute


Our economic policy makes no sense

You want to grow poultry industry but u ban mazie import, worst soya bean import

The first rule of macro economics is you can't produce everything.... Pick the ones you can produce efficiently and import the rest


People are just suffering for nothing

Global price for a ton of chicken is 700 dollars... Nigerian produce at 2500 dollars yet it's an industry u think u can compete?

Well said

ibabz:
Oga, you are a thief looking for excuses where there were not. I’m totally disappointed in those supporting this old fool. What do you mean Fubara surprised you? He wanted to incapacitate the governor and at the end who takes the blame of non performance? I remember when OBJ single-handedly and sponsored Yaradua. People were saying Yaradua was OBJ 3rd term. Against all odds, OBJ ensured Yaradua became president. But the moment Yaradua got to the office of Mr president, the first thing he did was to reverse some of the OBJ’s policies he wasn’t comfortable with. Obj did not fight him, he didn’t label him traitors. He allowed him to exercise his rights and power as the president.

Wike is just greedy and power drunk.

Well said.
Don't mind their useless Zombie supporters.
Wike is after his personal gain,and not that of Rivers ppl or the benefit of his useless supporters

bixton:
No, the favours was both ways.
It's to their own benefit....
Anyway you look at it.
Though, some can say it was more favourable to Wike than to Fubara looking at the way and manner commissioners and all the government house staffs and aids were handpicked by Wike.
But I can tell you that the favour was well shared both ways.
Maybe it was Fubara who did know how to play ball or didn't understand his role to be able to roll along well, if he actually knew his former boss whom he had worked with for years.......

It favoured Wike more, he called all the Shots.

I bet you 10 out of 10 politicians would still betrayal Wike if he made then Governor.

The man is a mad man and he is over bearing.

themanderon:
What is the usual propaganda? The west sees Africa as the easiest way to secure cheap resources that would sustain their future because of their foolish leaders. The west cannot do what they do here to other continents. They find it easy to pick on Africa so what's the usual propaganda here?

I have been in commodities business for over 16years.

I bet you Africa is the least place when you come to commodities business.

How Copper ore and other mineral ores do Nigeria export apart from Oil?

Let me burst more of your bubble.
How many places do we have gaint mineral mines in Nigeria that are functional or been operated by the Europeans apart from oil and gas?

Born throwaway BASTARD

bixton:
If he wasn't desperate he would have turned down the offer in the first instance...

If he wasn't desperate when the Akpabio was in Rivers State during that early season when Fubara had earlier made a remark and Akpabio replied that if there's nothing to gain then, he the Governor should resign....!!
So why did he not resign?

I even read somewhere that Gov. Fubara turned in his resignation but Wike did not agree!!!!!
There are stories that I laugh at.....

You use style dodge my other question.

Lithiumite:
Go ask fashola how his first term went after succeeding tinubu in 2007.....he didn't even have any member in his ward exco let alone commissioners.....but he was strategic and wise enough so as to swim through all the treacherous waters and still kept his name and got the job done.....those are the people fubara should have sought advise from and not the likes of omehia or papa Clark who had already gone senile.....worst of all fubara was coalescence with asari dokubo,now see where his stupidity led him.

See them typical low IQ blacks.

Later they would blame Whites for been racists towards them.
That thing you wrote up there, is it how the western world your slave masters(leaders and politicains) vist every time, is how they play and run their own politics?

This idiot way still dey wear pampers

Magnumproperty:
My brother; I swear down that thing can be very painful. Helping someone climb the ladders and they showing their true colors immediately. Even people supporting Fubara will do worst than Wike if they are the ones in Wike's shoe.

Keep fooling yourself.

You think Fubara was desperate to become governor or you think Wike was doing Fubara or himself a favour?

Thundafireseun:
Check Rivers State past governors no one was able to successfully install a successor…. Peter Odili couldn’t successfully install Celestine Omehia ….

Amechi tried for over 12 years and couldn’t install Peterside Dakuku ….

Fubara didn’t even buy ticket with his money yet he won …..

Go to North especially…. Your Godfather installs all local government chairmen… all commissioners …. Virtually every body….

Go to my state Delta … Okwa control virtually every single thing in the state….

Don’t be deceived…. This men are not really after money …. They all have political ambitions especially Wike so he needs his structure…. He needs his loyal men on ground

Keep fooling yourself
