Tinubu is turning out to be far worse than I expected.
That means ur expectations were really highly o. Of all the 3 major candidates I knew Tinubu was the one that will spend Nigeria's money the most.

Can someone enlighten me? What do they need presidential yatch for? I'm not even talking about the cost. Of what use is it?
Let me tell u how I think this will play.

Tinubu's propagandists will probably time-travel to 2010 when it was reported by daily trust that the Navy wanted to buy presidential yatch for Jonathan.(whether the navy later bought it back then we never found out)

They will use whatever the outcome of the matter that time to Justify this Tinubu's move in this austerity period.

It's in the interest of Rivers people to embrace peace at this point, Rivers people know themselves and when the matter start it won't finish easily because too many warlords, guns and oil bunkering money dey involved. All those militants are in hibernation mode. They get special type of stronghead for that side

Tinubu don try to settle them, make Wike and Sim also concede ground for the sake of peace. If escalations go on, Wike will lose, Fubara will lose, Rivers will lose and Nigeria will lose

Remember when similar thing happen with Ngige in Anambra, Obj told him to go settle his godfathers the Uba who took him to shrine. And when Ngige was getting popular support of the people he was removed by the Supreme Court
This brings us back to what Ibime was saying. I'm sure if the matter is left for they Rivers State people to decide they will surely embrace peace cos that's the reasonable thing to do. However with so many non-state actors (funded by politicians) with their own agenda we may not have heard the last on the matter.

For exaple people that Wike's boys petrol-bombed their house on the eve to the election; they may see this crisis as an avenue to get a pound of flesh from Wike and his supporters in the state.

a chat with my friend this morning cheesy
How person never craze with the nonsense our politicians do to us on a daily basis is still a mystery . How can a leader say the followers must make sacrifices by cutting unnecessary spendings but the leader is the one that keeps making frivolous spendings? huh

I remember the NLC leader being quoted as saying Tinubu informed them during a meeting with the labor that he wanted to reduce the cars in the presidential convoy but he was advised against doing so because security issues.

Now suddenly the Tinubu that wanted to reduce the cars in the convoy has approved purchase of more SUVs to be added to the convoy. How do u rationalize these things sef ? cry

Na wetin concern me pass be this. The Jewish and Arab neighbors in the middle east can kill themselves all year for all I care.

Why is the president of country whose foreign reserves keeps reducing day-by-day spending 4.4 billion naira of taxpayer's money on SUVs for himself and his wife?

Before any unreasonable person starts talking about how much Jonathan, Yar Adua, Buhari and OBJ spent; please do remember u are the same people who never fail to remind us there was oil boom during OBJ and Jonathan era o.

When we complained about the cost of the lawmakers' SUV (particularly at this austerity period), we were reminded that the executive does not have the powers to influence the legislature's expenditures. Now see the executive doing their own sinzu money spending.

The people I just pity are those whose situation has not changed for the better since may 29th but will come online to shout " I stand with BAT" .

I kuku trust Tinubu and his cunning fox strategies; on or before 1st of January 2024 he will organize a media chat/presidential address where he will assure u that he understands the tough sacrifice u are making now and it is for the best in the future. U will take his words as words of hope and the shege aluta continua!

Well, maybe perhaps it's my utter prejudice towards abroadians finding every imaginable way to condescendingly paint a completely irredeemable and incessant negative view of the country at play here. I'm not taking kindly to the sorta gleeful negative description because within me, I think that when we speak out about the country woes, we do it from a place of concern and the impact on us , but for them, it's a leisurely sport. A game.
And that statement, "people don't matter", highlights for me what I think is that irredeemable negative view of our society. Forgive the rant.
Herein lies ur problem. This prejudice will always cloud ur judgement of the simplest of issues
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick:

Because behind those words are a visible nihilistic view towards our society.

I normally listen to ibime but that singular phrase captures the whole essence of his message. PEOPLE DON'T MATTER.
But they infact do. There is a thin line between realism and nihilism.
And not to mention that a lot of what he says are very unverifiable and without sources which leaves us at the mercy of untruths and word of mouth summations.

Using your example of ipob, ipob is succeeding because some of the people, the average masses themselves are enabling them. The sit at home is thriving because a lot of people, THE PEOPLE, actually key into it.

Same as the rivers situation where the situation is like that because of people's passivity and acceptance. Things haven't changed because the PEOPLE accept it.
I will say again, proclaiming boldly that "people don't matter" is a very bad outlook, a damning nihilistic indictment which should not be accepted by anyone.
You are the only one that knows why you are getting unnecessarily emotional about a very simple and straightforward post.

All I can read from that Ibime's post is :

The people are at the mercy of gangsters who have been armed over the years in their struggle against FG neglect , environmental degradation in Niger Delta as a result of oil exporation, etc. The gangsters/warlords are key players and determinant factors in the political environment down there. The people can shout from now till tomorrow but the moment the guys with the guns come out to point to a particular political direction, the normal citizens have no choice but to obey and follow else they suffer loss of lives or properties.

How is he justifying anything here ? I didn't read anywhere he praised Wike in his post

Honestly u are sounding as if u just want to have something to complain about where there's none

"PEOPLE DON'T MATTER".

That is a very terrible outlook towards any society. The very worst.
Those words should never be uttered, not by a good minded person.
Na wa for u o undecided

So out of all the factual things Ibime said in the post, na only "People don't matter " u want to latch on and u are almost immediately referring to him as not being good minded because he's saying things the way he saw it to be. smh

It's just like someone telling u factually that as far as "sit-at-home" order in the east is concerned, it doesn't matter whether the people support it or not; It's what IPOB says or does as per enforcement that usually matters. You know this is true.

Now why do u have issues with Ibime saying things the way they are ?

Ibime:
People can be behind Simi all they want. The people were behind Peter Obi but look what Wike did, especially in Obio Akpor

People don't matter. What's best for people is that "other" people aren't armed and violence erupts. The violence is not just for the battle itself but the guns that will stay in the protagonists hands and be used for economic crimes years down the line

This "peace" we dey enjoy for Rivers State so is based on arrangements between gangsters. You say Edison from Ahoada is supporting Simi because Ahoada is next in line. Is Edison at peace with Felix Obuah (sponsor of Don Wanni), and Godfather of Omoku/Ahoada axis? From my calculations, Felix Obuah is on Wike side and is chairman of PDP in Rivers State so given that mostly PDP lawmakers impeached Edison, that means Edison is going against his Godfather (Obuah) and na Ahoada go suffer the consequence. You know how wicked Obuah is, check all the beheadings and violence in that axis from 2015 to 2017.

Then you have other warlords in the different constituencies. I don't see Ateke and Asari going against Wike, and if they do, Wike will arm other Okrika and Kalabari warlords to usurp them in those areas which will burn down those areas like in Odili/Abiye Sekibo days.

The peace we have is based on gangsters agreement. The gangsters should come to agreement, peoples choice don't matter, it's better for the people when the gangsters agree.

They agreed to all the sharing of appointments before the election. SIM knew exactly what he was getting into.

Maybe I understand politics differently but if someome handpicks me as governor, I either agree to do his bidding and abide by that agreement or I refuse the offer ab initio

Everything he his, everything he has become, he owes to Wike. He can't win this fight. If he manages to survive the impeachment, he will lose his re-election. The people that matter and deliver the votes are behind Wike. Infact, PDP may lose the state altogether. The earlier he listens to the voice of reason, the better for him.
Wait till u have full executive powers in a democracy like Nigeria’s before u talk the bolded .

Do u think all these governors who have had ruckus with their political godfathers in the history of Nigerian politics are all natural born betrayers ?

We’ve had Adedibu vs Ladoja in Oyo , Oshiomole vs Obaseki in Edo , Tinubu vs Ambode in Lagos and now Wike vs Sim in Rivers . Do u think all of these people are just natural born betrayals ? Or that they didn’t know what they are agreeing to ab initio?

Methinks it mostly has to do with executive power at ur disposal . It’s very very hard for u to see the extent of ur executive powers in a country like naija and u will have almost 90% of it ceded out to a godfather. I believe every politician that has fellen out with their political godfathers think they can please them ( just like u are thinking now ) until they get voted in and the godfather starts making one unreasonable request after another.

From my understanding , the Nigerian political market is a black market where one party(the godfather ) has all the market information ranging from cost price , selling price , opportunity cost, market dynamics and the risks in the market ; while the other party ( the political godson that ends up clinching the executive power ) just buys a product he will eventually have little or no control over .

I am sure some of these political godsons (especially the ones not popular in the political scene before their ascension to power ) prolly didn’t know they also have a breaking point where they will have to break off character .

So my friend , wait till u get full executive powers before u know what u can or cannot do

Ibime:
PH violence is sporadic. When violence is breaking out, you will know. Most of the violence is political rather than economic so when politics is hot, you just avoid certain areas. That's where the inhabitants sense of peace comes from

Rivers State in general (outside PH) is not safe and quite unpredictable
. The violence there is economically driven especially toward Ahoada, Omoku, Ndoni side on the road to Bayelsa. There was a time between 2015 and 2017 that that East-West road saw one or more kidnappings/killing of road users every night without fail until Don Wanni boys were chased out. There will still be violence and crime there no doubt as there is a power vacuum but not as before.

For the record, most Ijaw towns controlled by warlords are safe except during election time. Ateke keeps Okrika safe and Asari keeps Kalabari safe. But during elections, anything goes. If you know the seasons you'd be fine. Where there is violence is those towns with power vacuum, where you don't have a warlord under amnesty program such as the towns I mentioned above (Ahoada, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Omoku) and sometimes part of Etche, Eleme, and Ogoni. But Ateke has ability to bring Ogoni under heel when it gets too hot as he has many boys there and his mother is from there.

Abonnema itself is relatively safe (compared to militancy days) except at election time due to Asari presence. Abonnema Wharf like Nembe Waterside is in Town/Borokiri and separate from the real Abonnema and Nembe which are in Kalabari (Sombrero river) and Nembe Kingdoms respectively.
