I guess me that I've been swearing for him since is not an APC member. This is a very dishonest take.

Are u the only APC member on Nairaland ?

There are several of them on politics section whom I read their takes on him . I didn’t particularly mention ur name, so I wonder why u choose to think I was talking about u o

Amigoss:
Same Oyo where there is massive jubilations ,APC Sabi this game called politricks

Toh! It is well with them o.

Osita Chidoka on the Lagos-Calabar express way.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Uxwto7RP8?si=BJQjVG9IY6WW4lkS

Osita Chidoka certainly knows his Nigerian roads and numbers . He was very brilliant on this interview 👏

At the initial stage and looking on face value , the coastal road project looked like a good idea and great idea for a legacy project . Away from the demolition of properties , villages, and shanties along the route to make way for the road ;
It looked like a good project .

But following the recent controversial revelations about the bidding process , the non-approval of the project by the house of assembly and no record of ESIA report before the commencement of the project; it all looks like just a way for some people to lace their pockets with government scarce resources while claiming it is for the good of the people.

Funny enough , I have been seeing Hitec doing a project starting from behind kuramo apartments in VI since earlier this year and at no point did I ever know it was the Coastal road. In fact nobody knew anything about the project cos it was never advertised for bidding , publicized or anything until maybe march or April when the media space was awash with the completion of first phase of the project.

Like why keep the whole thing a secret until they had committed the country’s funds to project of such magnitude ?


Osita raised an issue that should bother anybody who claims to love Nigeria. Where will the Chagouris get the funding for their own part of the counterpart funding ? Do we have banks or finance corporations that just release funds without sighting necessary vital documents from the procurement process to execution stage ?

My current employers are currently on a project that involves them getting funding from a global finance corporation. I know the kind of documentations we’ve been dealing with from the beginning of this year . They ask for every bloody documents u can think of. They have independent consultants that calls us almost every time for one documentation or the other ; the slightest indication that u are not ready to make available some of those requirements is a deal breaker .


So will the chagouris just dip their hands into part of the money they helped Abacha loot to fund the project or they have money stashed somewhere other than the reported estimate of $4.2 billion being the value of their business interests worldwide ?

Lagos-badagry expressway should be a lesson to everyone. The project lasted for over a decade and it was not completed because of funding issues.

WhoDeyHause:
3 years, no light.
Na from Ilorin dem go run go buy cold bottle water for egbon dayo when e touch down for holiday.

The Oyo people resident in Nigeria and witnessing how disappointing he has been as a minister have been rejecting him online .

But on Nairaland , APC people are supporting him as usual and can’t wait for him to be Oyo state governor simply cos he’s an APC member…. SMH

Itsrm:
Someone makes like 6 predictions, he's wrong about one and right on the other 5. Let's beat the dead horse and over amplify the one time he was wrong.

Make it make sense.

It’s not about beating any dead horse. The koko of the matter is that ur support for Wike goes beyond a normal citizen siding with a governor that performed while in power; ur support for Wike goes beyond that and it’s obvious .

Image 1 shows Ibime predicting Wike will get burned by Sim who he hopes to be his godfather by replicating Tinbu’s Lagos structure . Guess what ur reply to him was ?

Image 2 and 3 shows u supporting godfatherism
Cos u believe Fubara is will remain a loyal sheep that will relinquish his executive powers to Wike and allow Wike to rule from Abuja while he(Fubara ) remains a dummy.


Omo ! u no really like Rivers state like that o. U just want Wike to be the alpha and omega of the state till eternity . For what exactly ?

Itsrm:
Just this once? I was only wrong about Wike winning the primaries and right about every other thing that relates to Rivers politics.

U were 100% sure Wike will win against Atiku in the face of incontrovertible evidence that suggests otherwise.

That says a lot about how emotional u get about supporting Wike even when it’s obvious he’s in the wrong .

U are obviously supporting godfatherism in this Wike vs Fubara fight which everyone knows is just about who controls what ; not necessarily about the good of the people of Rivers state or good governance in the state .


Even if Wike survives to oust Fubara , there’s no guarantee that Wike would still not fight the next person he installs after Fubara the moment such individual decides to exercise his executive powers instead of remaining a stooge of Wike.

I just hope people like u are not in the majority in Rivers state cos una go just entrench Godfatherism
that will never favor the common man in the state .

TrebleChamp:
I already hold this view sef, he may be boboing us with working in a company not knowing he is Wike personal assistant 😁.

Itsrm just Dey disguise , he’s probably in Abuja with Wike like this 😂

Lemme even go and check those pictures of Wike paying condolence visit to Ribadu; it’s possible itsrm is in the picture cut and we are missing him out

Itsrm:
Lol, I have always been consistent since day one and never told anyone he will be impeached.

March 2023



November 2023



So where is the goal post coming from?

I was on the record as saying Fubara will win with over 60% of votes when people on this thread and on twitter said they will punish Wike.

I was also on record as saying PDP will not get 25% of votes in the presidential election when people here said PDP has structures that will deliver Atiku.

When it comes to the intricacies of Rivers politics, you can take whatever I say to the bank.

May God spare our lives beyond 2027

[quote author=Itsrm post=113249731]This was u during the primaries in 2022

Wike will put the final nail in the coffin of Atikus political career

Nothing will be heard of Atiku again after todays primaries[/quote]This was also Getting overly confident about the Victory of ur mini god Wike on the day of the primary 😁

Itsrm:
If you are watching this primaries and you still think Atiku will win then you are deceiving yourself .

Omo see the love

My brother , if there’s anything u are consistent at, it is taking the L on Wike political travails 😂

Itsrm:
There's one very small thing you keep forgetting

Wike can match Atiku naira for naira and dollar for dollar. We are talking about a two time governor of Rivers State here.

Do you have any idea the wealth this man has at his disposal?

The difference between the previous years Atiku contested and now is that he has met his match.

Once you allow that fact to sink in, you'll come to terms with what the rest of us have seen

Maybe u will be right just this once sha; if Fubara decides to use his executive power to full force. At least it is established that Atiku used his over 30
Years experience as a presidential candidate to rubbish all Wike and his supporters permutations which u no gree us rest in the run off to the presidential primaries

TrebleChamp:
We wait till Monday to see if they will use it, na egbesu boys sim go use pursue them comot for there 😁..

Don’t worry urself about wike vs Fubara matter as far as itsrm is concerned . Itsrm is a sworn die-hard wike loyalist ; even if its 100% certain Wike is losing , Itsrm will always find a way to shift the goal post
.

I will never forget how he argued tooth and nail that Wike will get PDP presidential ticket ahead of Atiku 😁

When Wike back later knack ground he found ways to shift goal post.

If tomorrow Fubara finds a way to survive the next 4 years as governor of Rivers state , he will find a way to shift goal post that he can only do 4 years . If Fubara wins second term in 2027, he will still shift goal post that Fubara can only be 2 term governor and can’t get a ministerial nomination like Wike his master did . 😁

One day we go know if itsrm is a special adviser to Wike wey just Dey use fake Nairaland account Dey disguise for us as a concerned citizen .

hensben:
Watch this next game you will see it. The fact that man city win almost every time wn't let you see it. He is a quality football nevertheless.

CAP!

I watch their match every week and I don’t see him getting bodied easily as u claimed.

Give us the matches u’ve watched and seen him get brushed past and let’s check it out

hensben:
He hasn’t been great this season if you follow football well, he is easily breezed passed any time opponent get the ball[/b]He is better than Bousquet though due to his offensive contribution and being stronger as a CDM.

Mention at least 8 opposition that u know breezed past him easily in like the 30 something matches he’s played in for city in the league this season.

Since u follow football well and watch almost all their matches ; mention those matches where opposition breezed past him easily Pharm.Hensben

Let’s test ur football knowledge today and not ur language proficiency

Itsrm:
Yes. Do you want me to start listing former friends of Amaechi who are now his political enemies? Why is no one saying Amaechi is fighting with his former alies?

Like I said, Wike is just vocal about his.

As much as u try to downplay Wike's quarrelsome personality , it is one of the reasons he may never rule this country.

Nobody will trust him enough to entrust him with national power with his brutish approach to every issue .

The people who are loyal to him at the grassroots level in Rivers cannot take him anywhere beyond Rivers state. In my opinion , he's got to his peak vide the ministerial appointment he got from Tinubu and that's that.

Itsrm:
Politicians fight with each other all the time. Wike is vocal about his fights. That's why he's easy to pick on.

He does not necessarily have more political foes who were once his friends than someone like Amaechi.

Funny talk . Wike is being picked on...lmao

raumdeuter:
Well when I got my first job, I wasnt attending any church regularly so I didnt have the dilemma of giving a Pastor.
I shared it gave my dad and my mom. My dad returned it and took just N200.

Exactly the same thing my dad did. He just took a few thousand and handed it to my mum in my presence and told her to cook whatever she desires for the family . He then prayed for me .

He said he knows I will need the rest for transport and personal needs

Itsrm:
Whoever wrote this thing is a clown. Wike did not bring Sheriff neither did he bring Ayu. It was Ortom who brought Ayu and sought Wikes support. And how can Wike who was sworn in May 2015 have enough influence to unilaterally bring in Sheriff January 2016.


The clown also said Wike is fighting Amaechi and Odilli. Which former governor is Amaechi and Odilli not fighting with? Amaechi is not even cordial with his own cousin Omehia who he removed from office.

Amaechi started out as Odilis PA and it was Odili who brought Amaechi into RSHA. How did Amaechi repay Odili?

What of SIM who was brought just yesterday? How is it going with his political godfather who made him everything he is today?


IT IS NOT A WIKE THING. IT'S THE SIGNATURE OF RIVERS POLITICIANS

Let's agree he did not bring Ayu and Sheriff , but there were his allies and he fought them eventually.

He kinda fought GEJ too.

Wike has issues with both Rivers state and non Rivers state allies . That is the point . Whether they were his God fathers, godson, political allies or benefactors.

He always find a way to fight them.

“Hadi Sirika, while being minister of aviation and in such capacity as public officer entrusted with certain capacity the sum of one billion, four hundred and ninety eight million, three hundred thousand, seven hundred and fifty naira only, by being dishonestly connected with the illegal award contract for the apron extension of Katsina airport to and for the benefit of Al Buraq Global Investment Ltd whose alter ego, Fatima Hadi Sirika and Jalal Sule Hamma are his daughter and son-in-law respectively.


“Hadi Sirika, while being minister of aviation, Fatima Hadi Sirika while being a public servant and an employee of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company, NNPC and Jalal Sule Hamma, while a public servant and an employee of Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, did knowing hold indirectly private interest in the contract for the apron extension at Katsina airport for the sum of one billion, four hundred and ninety eight million, three hundred thousand, seven hundred and fifty naira only.

Nigerian Elites are just unnecessarily greedy and wicked 🤦

Hadi Sirika's daughter works with NNPC, his son-in-law works with NUPRC which is also an oil and gas regualator o.... He was minister for aviation.

Is that not enough ?

No , he still went ahead to steal billions of naira with the help of his spoilt kids that already have good jobs that guarantees they won't even be poor .

TrebleChamp:
This is absolutely spot on, Wike is a virus to Rivers State and PDP....


"One man brought Sheriff as Chairman of PDP, started fighting him and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.

This same man brought Uche Secondus as Chairman of PDP, started fighting him and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.

The same man actively supported Ayu as Chairman, when he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.

Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.

Only one man bringing people and fighting them.

Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him and he will start fighting you.

Someone that was in his mid 30s when he was handpicked by Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman, and also returned second tenure by the help of Justice Mary Odilli but now he refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.

Amaechi, his long time friend is now his sworn enemy.

Throughout his political career, he has been fighting.

When he was Governor, he deceived Rivers people to believe that it was their fight and he was just the messenger but now the events that have happened in the past year have shown everyone that it is his personal fight.

Since 2007, anytime Rivers State is on the news for political crises, he is a main character".

The fact that he's fought almost everyone that was once close to him shows he's definitely the problem , not all those people.

Only God knows if he will not fight Tinubu next.

My username is just 5 words and you guys never spell it right


let me help everyone out

L oud and T enacious S upporter of R apacious M an/Monster/Monkey/Mfker


So u don't care whether the governor of the state u are a resident works or not ?

U go wicked pass Wike in real life o


ltsrm is has adopted the school of the machcete and low rent
puzzy arse lagosians will not understand [ everyone say we make far more noise than actual violence ]

He don follow Rivers boys enter waterside , him mind don dey

Itsrm:
No, the argument we had was you saying it's the Rivers people that will suffer because Fubara will be distracted and won't be able to do anything.

I'm saying, as long as this is the consequence of them fighting, I am perfectly at peace with it.

They can continue fighting as long as they keep it at the current war of words and it doesn't degenerate into violence. No one wants violence in the state.

So u don't care whether the governor of the state u are a resident works or not ?

U go wicked pass Wike in real life o

Itsrm:
The major thing I need right now is for exchange rate and the price of fuel to come down. If Fubara can give me that, then I'll join your crusade.

I mean, look at his line up of events to celebrate one year in office, of what use is any of this for me?

This was why I told you I don't care if his fight with Wike prevents him from working. He can't give me the things I need. The basic things I need have been provided by the last administration.

So if there's no peace in ur state u don't care ?

That's selfishness na . Maybe the part of the state u live in has decent infrastructures built by Wike's administration , but what about other parts of the state that still need development ?

Anyways sha maybe Rivers is not like Lagos and violence doesn't really scare u guys cos I can't imagine if this kinda thing was happening in Lagos; let's say pro Wike and pro Fuabra people are fighting in places like Ikeja , Oshodi, Obalende, CMS, Iyana Ipaja...etc. its as good as the whole state is on fire and almost everybody will lose their peace.

That's where I'm coming from; even u that claim to have everything u need will be living in fear for ur properties when things like that happen

Ibime:
Simi and Wike beef is just bad news for Rivers

Everybody dey build him war chest, we never see one piece of development

This was what I told itsrm the other day and he claimed Wike has done roads & other infrastructures that Rivers people need....he doesn't care if Fubara chooses to waste his 4 years on fighting Wike .

It's very obvious that it's the people of Rivers that will suffer in this their fight.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
economic sanctions from the West.

So what of Pakistan a fellow Islamic state that has nuclear weapons ?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I believe they have it. Most of the artillery shell Russia is using against Ukraine come from North Korea. The drones mostly from Iran. Armoured vehicles some come from China. Last year, North Korea launched her first military spy satellite into the orbit. That was just two or three months after Kim's visit to Moscow where partnership agreement bordering on military cooperation were signed. What do you think Iran will get in return?

Then can u explain why they would have it and they would hide the fact they do? To do what exactly?

At least Pakistan is an Islamic state like them; they don't hide the fact that they have nuclear weapons and they get the respect they deserve on a global level

raumdeuter:
Even North Korea dey openly display theirs. Or why will you have a Gwagon and be hiding it

Nuclear weapon wey dey get you special treatment and respect everywhere na him dem go dey hide

It's just someone who claim to have a private jet but always flying commercial.

raumdeuter:
And that is a bomb of almost 80yrs ago. Imagine the improvements since that time smaller payloads for bigger destruction nowadays

There's a reason why everybody who has it just keep using it as some sort of leverage/muscle flexing. Everybody knows once the nuclear weapons are out, it is game over.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Do you seriously believe that Iran🇮🇷 don't have nuclear weapon?

Do u believe they have and they are afraid to reveal it?

GloriousGbola:
the moral of the story - steal big

look at Sirikia smiling like nothin dey happen

Senior man Sirika. It's time for his lawyers to eat out of the money he stole.

raumdeuter:
maybe he doesnt know the meaning of nuclear weapon and why Non Proliferation Treaty tries everything in its power to stop everyone from having it

2 Nuclear weapons on Iran and its game over for the next 60yrs

Even the two atomic bomb America drop give Japan, they know how far....Not to talk of nuclear war heads .

He probably thinks Israel will allow itself to be wiped off the face off the earth while folding its hands

TemporaryHansel:
You have joined Ibime in overhyping Israel. Remove nuclear weapons, and Israel will be completely useless and incapable of inflicting damage on a serious foe.

Remove nuclear weapon make dem open eye make dem slaughter them abi? Dey play!

You just said up there that u don't care about the choice of weapons. Is nuclear weapon no longer a weapon in warefare?

GloriousGbola:
no use that one chief

gej had two years to finish trial. na buhari wey finish am.

But Nigerian court system can be crazy sha. Person go steal money running to millions and it will take years to try them in court. If u just commit small offence like this, sharp sharp dem don send person go sanko

TemporaryHansel:
When I refer to a "one-on-one" scenario, I mean two nations fighting without interference from any other country. The choice of weapons they use doesn’t matter in my consideration. As long as no third-party nation intervenes, that’s what I consider a "one-on-one" situation.

If this is ur definition of one-on-one, then Israel will nuke Iran to shiiits

GloriousGbola:
because there was NO subsidy cabal during buharis term

you know this

buhari ended susbidy in january 2016 when price of oil dropped. it came back as NNPC underrecovery when price of oil rose [raising price of petrol] and was solely financed by NNPC

also - some people were jailed during buharis regime for the fraud they commited during gej's regime

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/221596-breaking-subsidy-fraudsters-sentenced-10-years-prison.html?tztc=1



and farouk lawan, long after his senate colleagues have exited stage, is chopping the beating alone

Udo-Ngadi was arraigned at the Ikeja High Court on 1 August 2013 alongside Walter Wagbatsoma, Mr. Babafemi Fakuade and their company Ontario Oil and Gas Limited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission

Was Buhari the president in 2013 when the two subsidy criminals were arraigned? U see that u are even the one that scored own-goal. It was Jonathan's government that arraigned the subsidy cabals not Buhari's
