Seems you are obstinate with questions.
NOBODY ASKED YOU if Akpabio is a public or private figure.

I am asking you about your own self since you know everything

please tell me exactly where you will be in 2031 and what you are aiming for in 2031? since you know what another man would be aiming for and you even know he will NEVER achieve it then tell us your own.
You have no right to ask me that question as I do not have any relationship with you or do I know who you are.

My plans and future are wrapped up my sleeves

Name one person in your entire generation who is as successful as Sen. Godswill Akpabio.

He is a Barrister, a former commissioner, a former Governor, a former Minister, and a sitting Senate President.

Aside from these, his performance as Governor put Akwa Ibom state on the map and today, the state is top 7 when it comes to infrastructure.

All thanks to Akpabio.

Oya name just one person for your entire lineage that has achieved anything of this magnitude.

Baba. Give honour to whom honour is due abeg.
So by stealing public fund for self enrichment is what you called being successful.

It's the corrupt practice you are fanning that has landed you and your entire family in perpetual lack and poverty.

You lacked clear sense of reasoning and understanding

Success in life is not measured by holding a political office.

Does holding a political office gives you fulfilments in life expecially when you doesn't merit it..

A position that you hold to oppress people and loot public funds.

The young ones look at you with disdain and hate as you cannot move freely in the society

I know many successful, happy and fulfilled people who didn't hold any political office.

Maybe in your family, you measure success with holding political office

I can tell you for a fact that what the governor said is audio.

Uba Sani is not doing anything in Kaduna. Kaduna State University has gone in strike for 4 good weeks this year. And he still hasn't fulfilled their demand. Tell him to mention the routes the buses will be passing through for the free transport.

They call him Abuja governor. He only comes to Kaduna on Friday and Saturdays. The rest of the week is spent in Abuja.
I am sure this governor is a puppet who being controlled by a godfather.

He does their biddings

I don't know the political party you support because Nigeria has been deeply polarised by the APC. However, we must unanimously condemn it when a lady plays the victim card by saying that men molested or attempted to rape her. I want to see how Natasha WILL defend herself in court.

You don't check BP randomly unless you are hypertensive.

Foreign AffairsThe Arab World Thinks Differently About This Iran War by Celestialsword(op): 7:21am On Jun 18, 2025
There has been little sympathy for Israel, which should be no surprise: its brutal tactics in Gaza over the past 20 months have turned even some of its onetime Arab admirers into sharp critics. Scenes of ballistic missiles crashing into Tel Aviv, Haifa and other cities have looked, to some viewers in the region, like a small bit of karma. What is less obvious, perhaps, is the lack of sympathy for Iran as well.


More on the war between Israel and Iran:

The Islamic Republic has spent decades arming and funding militias in Arab countries: Hizbullah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, myriad others in Iraq. They were meant to serve as Iran’s forward defence, an insurance policy against Israeli or American attack. Over time they grew into uncontrollable forces: Iran’s militias assassinated scores of critics (including a former Lebanese prime minister), extorted billions from treasuries and carried out attacks on neighbouring countries, among them Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

For many in the Levant and the Gulf, Iran was a powerful and hated hegemon—until, suddenly, it was not. The ease with which Israel penetrated Iran’s security services has been a source of both confusion and glee in the region. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the vanguard of Iranian power, dug its hooks into Arab countries; ironically, it failed to notice as Israel did the same in its backyard.


Nowhere is the Schadenfreude stronger than in Syria, which has just emerged from a decade-long civil war against Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Mr Assad, who fled the country in December, could not have endured for so long without help from Iran, which sent the IRGC and allied militias to prop up his regime.

Some of the Iranian commanders assassinated by Israel on June 13th played a central role in the Syrian war, which killed more than half a million people. Syrians were quick to celebrate their demise. One man brought a box of sweets to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, which has been shuttered since Mr Assad fled. Another joked that it was probably the only safe bit of Iranian territory—because it was empty. After a decade of brutality, it is hard for anyone to begrudge Syrians such morbid humour.

For most, though, this is war as a spectator sport. At the onset of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, Menachem Begin, the Israeli prime minister, famously wished both sides good luck. One hears similar sentiments from Arab audiences today: social media is full of jokes about setting out snacks and drinks to watch “the match” each evening, as Israel and Iran trade fire.


The tone is rather different on pan-Arab news channels. Al-Jazeera, the Qatari-funded broadcaster, has been broadly sympathetic to Iran in its coverage. That is easy to understand: The channel is hostile to Israel, and Qatar has long tried to maintain cordial relations with Iran, with which it shares ownership of the enormous South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf. But the tone has also been unexpectedly measured on Saudi-run outlets. Ideology is not a factor there. The Saudis have long viewed Iran as their arch-nemesis. Three years ago, when Iran erupted in protest against the regime, their media outlets covered the unrest eagerly: even small demonstrations in far-flung villages became breaking-news items.


Today, though, the Saudis are worried about antagonising their regional neighbour, lest Iran blame the kingdom for egging on the war and decide to attack it (as it did in 2019). Staff have been told not to air hawkish Israeli voices or dwell on the vulnerability of Iran’s regime. Should the regime fall, though, the tone in the Gulf might flip: Saudi deference to Iran is tactical, not heartfelt.

The war in Iran has erased any lingering doubt in the region about Israel’s regional hegemony. “Israel is scary and powerful, and it confirms day after day that it is a master on the military and intelligence levels,” wrote Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, an Emirati academic who is one of his country’s most outspoken critics of Israel. Yet its growing strength is a source of growing concern, even in countries like the UAE, Israel’s closest Arab ally.


Israel has shown itself able to smash its foes—first the Arab ones, now the Persians. But it seems uninterested in working with friends to build a more stable regional order. The war in Gaza is still grinding on, a source of misery for Palestinians and anger across the Arab world. The war in Iran risks drawing in other countries. “[Israel] becomes the main source of instability in the region, a position it used to share with Iran,” frets Mohammed Baharoon, an analyst in Dubai. Gulf states, in particular, want stability and calm; Israel seems to offer anything but.
