Israel is going to eradicate Hamas and as long as Hamas is embedded within the civilian populace then tough luck

I am happy I can trigger you to start cussing out, I wont tag you senile or dementia though. I doubt the Holy books will approve of such word use

For those who are seeking for gainful employment they find it useful. Blueraydick once said somebody close to him informed him that he gained employment after applying through one of the links we posted here. I have gotten by applying through LinkedIn

GloriousGbola:
The irony is that Ibime who has been in obodo oyibo for donkey years can give a more accurate and honest assessment of the situation on ground that so called residents.

Maybe he is not invested in lying to himself.

donjazzet:
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.

donjazzet:
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.

donjazzet:
"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.

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.

Lmao.. Damn

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.

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.

Emaprince:
Funny thing is both cities are beautiful and peaceful cities.

I lived in ibeno for a year cos I did my IT at Mobil terminal there.

Uyo is neat and peaceful.

PH also isn't jam-packed with population like Lagos. PH is a very peaceful city as well. My two siblings reside there with their respective famillies and enjoying their peaceful lives. I envied them when I traveled down there. My bro bought his house at federal housing estate, woji. Quiet and serene environment.

I no know how Blueray take observe this violence in his short visit.

PH is a peaceful place to live in.

Theflint1:
Rivers has a general air of thuggery, cultism and related incidents. For most of Rivers indigenes, they believe it makes them street and have adapted to it, but to the rest of us looking in from outside, we're well aware that living in a perpetual state of "alarm" is no way to live.

KingTom:
Sho whine?

Theflint1:
If these are real stats, it pretty much proves the point what BluRay and Disstroy are trying to make. A state where there's a 1/10 chance you get to suffer violence, armed robbery or kidnapping is not safe

Ballzproblemm:
"your read" ,"you heard" everything about your perspective of Rivers state are from other people's perception.


You remind me a of many white people who think Africans reside in huts and mud houses meanwhile the reality is not,they just made the shit up in their head.

Ballzproblemm:
where did I defend them?

Disstroy is making Rivers state sound like maduguiri and you expect me to be quiet when in reality half of what he said is false.


you chose to believe someone who haven't spent a single year in Rivers opinion over someone that has living here for many years

Ballzproblemm:
blueraydick dey chook mouth.

you reside in Lagos a state that glorifies Godfatherism and agberos.

mc oluomo is idolized by teens not older than 17 over there

GloriousGbola:
Every major organisation has the security office sending out WhatsApp alerts.

Major incident in area a stay away for now.

Ballzproblemm:
Then you can't use it to prove point,till then they tales .


fake rumours rallied about by engineers

Ballzproblemm:
where exactly?

Ballzproblemm:
You "heard tales", only this just proved my point, you have no evidence non at all you have concluded in your mind that is true.


SMH

Ballzproblemm:
na wike boys , that one na politics.

I'm talking of normal day to day crimes: robbery,cultism, kidnapping etc.


cult boys now sef dey press(Yahoo) nobody get time for all that shit down here

Ballzproblemm:
Trying to project the state as warzone meanwhile it's more peaceful than you think

GloriousGbola:
Like wike, ambo pissed too many people off.

Remember when he was insulting some village chiefs?

All of wikes power was tied to his control of purse strings. Not in his ability to build actual relationships.
