My uncle received a text and call yesterday from lagos state women affairs department. He is being summon for interrogation on Tuesday regarding a petition from his wife.
His wife has denied him access to his children (2 girls ,1 boy).
January this year he told us he won't pay there fees and upkeep anymore.

A co-operate scam him sometime in 2019, he was a big time farmer and alot of people joined base on his recommendations. He stood as guarantor for the organization.
When the organization disappear with people money he was forced to settle, he sold most of his properties and his business crashed.

The wife left him in 2022 saying she tired of suffering, she moved out with the kids. My uncle have being paying school fees and sending upkeep, he get to see them anytime he want aswell up on till last year.

Last year my uncle got help from a widow he met at a church, she invested in his business and things are getting better for him financially.

My uncle told us on the family whatapp group January he wont pay the kids school fee anymore and placed a curse down for anyone who does on his behalf due the fact the wife have denied him access to his kids since last year may.

His wife reported him to human rights last month, after hearing from both side they told her to allow him see his kids but she refuse claiming he now has another wife and she scared the woman might harm her kids. My uncle hasn't married the woman although they are dating.


Where I need advise is what should we expect on Tuesday? If my uncle doesn't change his mind what will happen.

Lastly his wife works for lagos isnt that an advantage for her, will the case be judge fairly.

Were the governors suspended??

Even the SOE was for only few LGA boko haram were controlling.


GEJ that tambunwa rubbish as a speaker nah en go get mind suspend sitting governor.

Lol

Lithiumite:
Whose fault is it that good luck didn't have the intelligence to steer the ship of this very complex state.

Then rewrite your initial statement.

Not all Nigeria president always had there way only the smart one's.

frankson1:
I thought they said that the North has left Mr. President.

Lol.

Those kids no nothing.

OriOko88:


Well,this is Nigeria where anything goes. I just laugh when Tinubu supporters comment here and on X, hailing him,giving him different titles,like Maradona,Jagaban,best politician ever bla bla bla.

They are carried away by emotions and euphoria to know that since Nigeria was created,every president, from military to civilians have always had their way. The powers assigned to the office of president are so massive,they will go away with anything. Buhari spent 8 solid years,nobody checkmated him. He executed all his plans, redesigned the naira,partly removed subsidy,built railway to Niger. Nobody queried him. So wats Tinubu doing so special from buhari that makes him to deserve all those flattering titles.

This is Nigeria. Tinubu can decide to declare state of emergency in all 36 states, nothing go hppn..d senate will approve it. It's not about being smart or intelligent but the power he holds. Mk una stop ur hailings abeg. Nothing is special about Tinubu

Goodluck never had his way.

He was challenged openly by governors and assembly members severally.

Goodluck wouldn't have gotten away with something like this during his tenure.

Mopolchi:
Apc shame dey ooze

So apc is minority in kogi??

Most of you are just privileged illiterate with smart phone

Agbegbaorogboye:
Lol
Who wrote the lead judgement that declared the impeachments illegal since you know what happened between 2005-2007

Probably your father wrote it...ask him if he is still alive.

Armaggedon:
it is unconstitutional. There is no record of voting. There is no details to know.

Find your way to NA in Abuja so you can properly state you grievance.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Do you have the judgement?

If you need judgment to know what happened in 2005-2007 then you must be a kid.

Fayose and ladoja were impeached around that time and SC declared it illegal.

Google and read it up for yourself.

AgroBizSolution:
Seems it's just a formality to converge.. Anything from the Presidency is always an automatic rubberstamp.

The Nigerian and USA president are too powerful for a democratic system.

The constitution gives them so much power.

Agbegbaorogboye:
The judgement Elrufai is referring to was in 2006. So it is different from the Dariye judgement of 2004. It is left to see if such judgement truly exists or Elrufai is lying

What he referring to was the SC saying fayose impeachment was illegal.

Ladoja too was impeached and reinstalled back by SC around the same time.

IgOga:
I remember the Obasanjo days....Plateau has had a major ethnic and religious crisis not very long. Obasanjo warned Dariye that he will declare state of emergency

But in Ekiti there were no issue. No fighting.....it was just a fight between Fayose and Obasanjo......but he declared state of emergency anyways and brought in Olurin as the military administrator

You people forget this part......fayose was impeached.

Fayose never contested the SOE ,it was his impeachment that was contested.

SOE is only for a short while.

Agbegbaorogboye:
I think it was the 2004 judgement that the SC threw out on grounds of jurisdiction

There was a judgement in 2006 after that of Fayose

You are mixing it up.

It was fayose impeachment that the SC overturn , the SOE wasn't contested then.

fergie001:
On the Court Judgement, the SC didn't delve into the merits of the matter.

However, the President was wrong and ill-advised on the removal of elected officials. Worse still to even vest the authority of making laws on FEC, rather than the NASS is another aberration.

Fagbemi isn't helping this President at all.

Same you who supported and encouraged governor not to obey court orders.

Nawa ooo

Zonefree:
So, 70k can get good homes, cars and health care today?

You're sick!

If your brain is actually functioning you will know the TUC are only calling out OBJ hypocrisy but ofcos most of you are headless chickens.


The headless mob even if a man is caught for murder they must find a way to blame tinubu leaving the murderer.

MadamExcellency:
You are just a baby with no working experience at the time. Btw, I was an elected Labour leader at the time. When you come online, just sit to learn.

Jonathan's N18000 could buy 2 bags of rice with a balance for other things.

60yr Madam Labour leader that was buying 4 bags of rice with 3500 in 2000....weldone oooo

People lie but this your own is a needless foolish lie.

Shior

Thiefobi1:
Most federal schools shut.

University went on strike for years not months during his tenure.

Prominent politician were murdered.

He was the worst president ever and hypocrite.

A man that will openly curse those who speak against him

A man who openly supports political thuggery.

A man who openly told us "if you like vote...if you like don't vote his candidate will win"

A man openly disgrace and ridicule a serving IG.

A man who never respect court order.


It always how he thinks some of us have forgotten how he rule Nigeria during his tenure.

Zonefree:

If Nigeria is a sane country, this useless TUC chairman should be arrested and prosecuted.

Minimum wage in year 2000 is equivalent to two 50kg bags of rice. A 50kg bag of rice was N2,500 then.

Today, minimum wage is 70k(lol), and it can't even buy a bag of rice.

Shebi nah only food you come this world come chop.

Could that get people good homes, cars, health care etc??


Most of you were kids that 1999-2007 so you can't understand what it was.


Most civil servant were living in face and face you.

MadamExcellency:
And you forgot that N3500 could buy four bags of rice at the time with a small change.

Lol it could also buy a car and house.

3500 was so big and still yet most civil servant were living in face and face you.

Even fubara camp are in support of the SOE.


Since both side don't want peace make them go rest.


Wike,house of reps members and fubara can go to HELL.

iampeterben:
But still he is better than Tinubu

Obj has no moral rights to criticize any president in Nigeria.

Kids born yesterday will say he the best president

During his tenure.
NLC went on strike numerous time
ASSU went on strike numerous time
Governors were impeached by his order
Governor were suspended and SOE declared.
A sitting governor was kidnapped by his order
Fuel price was increased multiple time
Political opponents were jailed and killed.

He was the Alpha and omega....he determines who becomes Governor, senator, HOP members.

Still yet some people from one region will say he is the best president in Nigeria so far.

Those one of us who were no longer kids knew how Nigeria was in 1999-2007 and it wasn't good. This man didn't construct any major road in the south for good 8yrs.

The chairman of the Trade Union Congress has criticized former President Olusegun Obasanjo, stating that his administration performed below those of Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu in terms of workers' welfare, particularly regarding the minimum wage.


Speaking in a video shared by SYMFONI, the TUC chairman challenged Obasanjo’s recent remarks on the need for a living wage in Nigeria, questioning the former president’s own track record on the matter.

He pointed out that during Obasanjo’s tenure from 1999 to 2007, Nigerian workers did not enjoy a living wage.

"Former president Obasanjo talked about the fact that the last minimum wage should have been a living wage. That it is not a living wage that we negotiated. We looked at the person.


I mean, Obasanjo was telling us about a living wage, but President Obasanjo was the president in Nigeria between 1999 to 2007. Let's even leave the first one.

Within this period, what was Nigeria’s minimum wage? Did we have a living wage within this period? The answer clearly is no," he said.

The TUC chairman highlighted that in 1999, under Obasanjo, the minimum wage was just ₦3,500, and while it was increased to ₦5,500 in 2000, it remained stagnant for seven years until he left office in 2007.

He compared this to the economic realities of the time, noting that the exchange rate was between ₦120 and ₦140 per dollar, meaning the minimum wage was barely $40.


He further pointed out that despite Nigeria securing debt forgiveness during Obasanjo’s administration which reduced the burden of external debt servicing, the government still failed to review workers’ wages for several years.

The remarks have sparked debate, with many questioning Obasanjo’s moral standing to criticize recent administrations on labor issues.

Mydn44 fergie001

We are using almost a replica of US constitution.

You see how Trump is just signing executive order almost of everyday unchallenged and going after his perceive enemies.
Nigeria president can also do same and heaven won't fall.

That state of emergency in rivers will stand for 6month and no one can do anything about it.

The 1999 constitution is evil and not democratic at all.

Who to blame for all this??

Blame Obasanjo and abulsalami. Those men cos of greed and dictatorship lifestyle gave us a wicked constitution.

The 1999 constitution is more military than democratic.


If you want Nigeria to change let go to foundation and get rid of that 1999 constitution.

Boy speaking for his father.

Your father no fit talk again....fubara nah customer dada ni.

Falana was part of fubara problem, he refused to tell him the hard truth cos of legal money he was chopping.


All for selfish interest.

Dalohad:
Tinubu clearly lacks the wisdom of Solomon.

Wike (Jealous woman) wanted the child (Rivers state) divided (Burnt), if he won't have it. Fubara was ready to compromise like the woman that loved her child.

King I-no-be-Solomon Tinubu, decided to divide and burn the child, in favour of the jealous woman (Wike).

My people, you can now draw your conclusion on whether your president is wise or not..

If fubara was wise immediately those started bombing pipelines he should have release statements totally stating he is totally against it and will deal with anyone culpable.

Him keeping quiet made it look like he was in support and that what the presidency used against him.

Nigeria politicians.

A lerper can't squeeze milk from a cow but can deliberately cause the lost of a gallon of milk.
Fubara should learn from this...there are some battles you don't fight if you have more to lose.

The fact no governor and even PDP isn't even fighting for fubara is most surprising for me.


Lastly both fubara and wike can go to hell cos in all this they are only fighting for selfish interest and not for the betterment of rivers people.

Namaster:
NEVER liked Tinubu but always thought he was a political SAVANT.

But declaring a SoE in Rivers was a BIG mistake.
It's downright RETTTARDED.

His base in the North has been FRACTURED.
S-Easterners HATE his guts.
He LOST Lagos and Osun state last time.

The S-Southerners were wishy-washy and supported anybody and everybody.

But his actions TODAY will succeed in UNITING the SS against him.

He's putting soldiers in the SECOND-LARGEST economy in Nigeria and the most POWERFUL and POPULOUS state in the South-South.

It's STUPID!

Especially when you consider the fact that Nigerian Soldiers are a bunch of INCOMPETENT and MALICIOUS ghouls with a hard-on for DEFENSELESS civilians.

They'll HARASS and KILL innocent people and the South-South will NEVER forget that.

Meantime, the SW stands ALONE.
The Yorubas have NO allies.

Tinubu is a MONUMENTAL disaster!

He wont be the first and last to do it.

ObJ did it and won elections

DMerciful:
Tinubu is bringing back militancy that Yaradua solved.

Tinubu caused this Rivers crisis by supporting Wike to misbahave

I guess you were not born when they were bombing pipelines during buhari first tenure.

mikeapollo:
Why did the useless president not sack Wike his appointee, but he was quick to sack elected officers of the state?

See am not support of either of the two but fubara wasn't wise.

Was fubara sacked See stop all thise sentiment and analyze things logical.

Wike outsmarted him....the fight is clearly between fubara and house of reps members.

Wike is in charge of Abuja and there is no problem whatsoever happening in FCT for him to be suspended.


There is an adage in yourba..... A man with leprosy can't squeeze milk from a cow but he can pour away a gallon of milk.

Fubara fought to early.

Stolen:
WE ALL KNEW NIGERIA WAS OVER THE MINUTE TINUBU AND INEC RIGGED 2023.

NOW NIGERIA HAS THEIR FIRST MILITARY ADMINISTRATOR SINCE 1999.


TINUBU DOES NOT DESERVE TO LEAVE ASO ROCK ALIVE.


HE SHOULD BE NAILED TO DEATH THERE.



EVERYTHING NIGERIA ACHIEVED SINCE 1999 GONE AND DESTROYED FOREVER.

You must be a kid.

This not the first time a president is declaring state of emergency in a state.

Skyehigher1:
How can this possible with democratic system let me wait and watch the matter on fold

The president is very powerful.

We are using American constitution which gives a a president such powers....this not the first time such is happening.
