Somebody started the insult on my mention and I had to give it back to him.I don't insult first but when any idiot wants to trade insults,I don't shy away from giving it back.
As for Wike,I have always maintained he is not suitable for any office and if anyone bothers to go thru his antecedents right from chairman of ObioAkpor lga-chief of staff-education ministry and now his less than 6mths as d gov of Rivers state,with borrowings large chunks of funds,hurriedly passed with no oversight function by thr the state assembly, to carry out phantom projects and his appointments of known militants and touts as lga caretaker chairmen,u wud know that that man should not be 1000km near any governorship seat.
I will continue speaking out against Wike because I know d doom his continued stay as gov of Rivers State portends.

doctokwus:
U are a fool for accepting that it's your lot for a thug to be your governor. Unless u are also a tout like Wike.
In civilized climes,Wike wud have been looking at at least several years behind bars and in a place like China, possible death sentence or at least life.
Idiot,proud to be governed by d likes of Wike when u shud be asking God what sin Rivers people committed for him to have allowed the likes of Wike to ascend that seat, even if d election was rigged.

aguiyi:
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad people.

shoot at the protesters or engage them physically.

dont just condemn wike, tell us what you would have done if you were in his shoes

Goodluck Jonathan came too early for Nigeria.
They said there is no fuel subsidy, why are they
Paying over N400 Billion for subsidy? But
Jonathan did away with subsidy in 2012, your
OCCUPY NIGERIA protests brought subsidy back!
BVN [Bank Verification Number] was introduced
by President Goodluck Jonathan to help fight
fraud and track perennial and serial bank debtors.
This is a specie of the American Social Security
Number that is limited to Bank accounts. Every
person who has a bank account must have a
Biometrics verified BVN.
President Jonathan also introduced a single
payroll account system for all federal civil
servants to fish out ghost workers and ensure
accountability.
President Jonathan also funded the National ID
card system to identify Nigerians. The original
idea for National ID was in 1979.
However, records available in the public domain
show that President Buhari did not register for the
National ID until he became president. He
opposed it.
APC derided President Jonathan for saying that
he will use technology to fight corruption. Talking
of GEJ using digital technology to fight
corruption, there is also the automation of the
entire Customs Clearance Procedure which
eliminated fraud and allows for faster and
smoother clearance of goods at the ports.
Today, APC claims BUHARI HAD PERFORMED
WELL MORE THAN GEJ.
But according to Ibrahim Bunu: “Am perplexed,
angry and at the same time disgusted at some
comments on my last post insinuating that Buhari
hasn’t achieved anything this year.

People who don't know Rivers State keep writing thrash about Wike winning a free and fair election. That is impossible. It is the turn of riverine to rule. PDP has to swap Wike to have any chances at the polls.

"The greatest deception a man suffers is from his own opinion" -, Leonardo da vinci
@Op, I'm not seeing Peterside & Ameachi returning to the tribunal rather am seeing Wike battling his lost mandate at the tribunal next year. A classical case of a hunter been hunted.
The greatest injustice GEJ has done to the opposition PDP was his decision to quietly hand over power to the APC. The implications are overwhelming as the choice to conduct free, fair and credible election anywhere in Nigeria lies squarely with the APC led central government who control the machinery of the state.
If Wike and his co-travellers can used the federal might in their own time to suppress the street fighters then it is also possible for Peterside through Ameachi to use same.
In my place the benue south senatorial district, how many times did David Mark has clearly win an election? But the use of federal might will always take him to the Senate regardless of the cries & hues of the common masses, in the end the opponent will head to the tribunal.
Remember this word of Ayn Rand,he says that "The government is the most dangerous threat to man's right,it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against a legally disarmed victim".

Beware of Another Civil war, US report warns Nigeria beams up satellite on illegal northern arms importation.


A new security report entitled "Nigerian Unity in the Balance" authored for the United States Army War College has, again, warned Nigerian leaders to beware of another civil war or an outright break-up following what it called ongoing divisive trends in the country. The report comes in the shadow of recent discoveries and interception of arms and ammunition in some parts of northern Nigeria.

 This development has raised fears and alarm in security and southern political circles as to the goals of the forces behind the smuggling of arms. While similar arm discoveries had happened in some southern states in recent past, the frequency of such discoveries in the North in recent days has reportedly increased the level of intelligence shadowing and surveillance in the area.

The US Army report released in June this year by the Strategic Studies Institute of War College was written by two former American servicemen, Gerald McLaughlin and Clarence J. Bouchat. McLaughlin is a graduate of the U.S. Army War College while Bouchat is also an adjunct professor at the U.S. Army War College (USAWC).



The 103-page report, whose foreword was written by the Director, Strategic Studies, Institute and U.S. Army War College Press, Professor Douglas Lovelace, observed that divisive forces were waxing stronger than uniting forces in Nigeria, warning that unless this was reversed, Nigeria`s existence could be jeopardised. According to the report, “Parochial interests created by religious, cultural, ethnic, economic, regional, and political secessionist tendencies are endemic in Nigeria. Under such stresses, Nigerian unity may fail.



“Should Nigeria’s leaders mismanage the political economy and reinforce centrifugal forces in Nigeria, the breaks to create autonomous regions or independent countries would likely occur along its previously identified fault lines,” the report warned. “Having already experienced one brutal civil war, Nigeria is at risk for a recurrence of conflict or dissolution, especially since some of the underpinning motivations of the war remain unresolved," the report observed, detailing many fault lines speeding up disintegrative tendencies in the country.



“Indeed, East Timor, Eritrea, Croatia, and Somaliland indicate that the weakest point of failing states is along colonial borders. Of more interest for Nigerian unity is that this may also occur between regions separately administered by a common colonial power, as occurred between Malaysia and Singapore, and North and South Sudan, where differences proved irreconcilable after the departure of British administration. At least, some of the resulting regions and states of a possible Nigerian devolution may divide along such internal lines”, the report projected.



While conceding that Nigeria’s fate is primarily in the hands of Nigerians, the report noted that such could be positively affected by actions of the US, adding that “Nigeria’s future is in balance and the United States should help tip the scales.” The report particularly warned that religious differences were taking the centre-stage in the emerging conflict situation in the country, disputing repeated reports that economic reasons were to blame for the insurgency and other conflicts in the country.



The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic-level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic analysis.



Meanwhile, as insurgency remains a major headache in the Northeastern part of the country, with the growing cases of arms stockpile in the North-West states giving security analysts sleepless nights, especially as clues with regards to the motives of the masterminds remaining yet unclear. As of the time of filing this report, security agencies are reportedly focusing on both local and external sources in their bid to unravel the sudden surge in the trafficking menace.

Sunday Tribune was told that the initial suspicion indicate that the importation of arms was due to transnational islamist terrorists arming local jihadists, as well as using Nigeria as a transit route in the Sahel arms and related smuggling trade. This line of thought appeared to be the main preoccupation of the security agencies for sometime until in the last one month when political motivation reportedly entered the review process.

While analysts are yet to find direct linkage between political actors and the arm storage and smuggling, there are fears that threats from key leaders suggest a zone preparing for war depending on the outcome of the 2015 race. An insider told Sunday Tribune that the intensity of arms stockpiles correlates with the heightening of tension and mounting attacks on the presidency by political opposition and political dissenters within the ruling party.

It will be recalled that the arms cache found in Kano is still a mystery despite the ongoing prosecution of the Lebanese involved in the entire saga. The security agencies are also at a loss over what alleged Hezbollah Shiite agents will be doing with the Sunni-led Boko Haramists on the arms stockpile. Boko Haram is said to belong to the Sunni school of Islam, attributing a link between them and the Lebanese under trial over the arms cache is now proving very difficult among intelligence analysts in the country. Though it is being suggested that the Shiite group could have its own separate mission in the country.



The Kano arms discovery, therefore, is reported to have given rise to many theories, one of such is the possibility of  a non-religious involvement, with political undertone being the chief reason. This theory is believed to have gained ground after the Zamfara State government got embroiled in an arms importation controversy, claiming it wanted to arm vigilante groups  in the state. The way and manner the state government imported the arms allegedly without police approval has since become a subject of investigation which is said to be attracting attention of many within the security circles.

A security official confessed under the condition of anonymity that importation of arms without prior approval is a violation of the law. Said he: “for a state government to have done that, it is a matter to be taken seriously.”

Though the Zamfara State government has since justified its action on the  need to combat criminal gangs operating freely in the state, keen watchers of the 2015 drama, however, point out that arming vigilantes in the countdown to 2015 sent mixed signals. Many people believe that once Zamafara succeeds in its move, other state governments would follow suit, leading to proliferation of arms in the country and a potentially explosive electoral year in 2015.

While the controversy over Zamfara arms importation is still boiling, a tanker filled with  assorted arms and ammunition was impounded on the Kebbi-Zamafara axis with the source of the importation still unknown.  With hundreds of such tankers in remote parts of northwestern Nigeria, fears are spreading that there may be a deliberate program to acquire arms by some unknown elements in the northern parts of the country ahead of 2015 elections.

Four days after the tanker was impounded, another arms cache was discovered in the sleepy state of Jigawa with exchange of fire between security agencies and those described as Boko Haram operatives. Security analysts, however, faulted the reference to Boko Haram, as Jigawa has never witnessed any Boko Haram attack since the insurgency started. Others claimed the exchange of fire did not explain the owner of the arms or who masterminded their stockpile in the state.

Another source told Sunday Tribune of the fear being nursed in that sector, saying “the situation is scary. We cannot say for sure that all these arms are imported by islamists. We cannot prove that. We can also not prove that politicians are behind the caches of arms for electoral purposes. All what we know for sure is that there is an arms build-up in the core North,” a security official, said.

While the real motive behind the huge arms stockpile is still under investigation by security agencies, the statement credited to the Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Mike Oghiadohme, warning against civil war is cited by other analysts to argue that the presidency already has more facts over security situation in the country and, particularly, about arms build-up in northern part of the country than it is letting out. Oghiadohme had called attention to the tragedy of the last civil war, warning that leaders and elders should beware of actions and utterances capable of plunging the nation into another conflict.

The arms build-up situation has become an open issue within the Nigerian military, which is battling insurgency in the North-East. Though the military is not ruling out political opportunism, it however suspects the Islamists to be behind the arms build-up, while the wider intelligence community are fingering political forces as being neck-deep in the menace.

Sagir Musa,spokesman of the Joint Task Force in Borno, while confirming the arms proliferation gave greater insight into the problem facing the North and the country as a whole in a recent statement on the issue.

Said he: “Nigeria’s borders are massive with hundreds of footpaths crisscrossing to neighboring countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger with links to Mali, Libya and Sudan. From conservative estimates by locals, there are well over 250 footpaths from Damaturu/Maiduguri axis that link or lead direct to Cameroon, Chad or Niger. These paths, which are mostly unknown to security agencies, are unmanned, unprotected and have continued to serve as conveyor belts for arms and ammunition trafficking into Nigeria.

“It is disheartening and unfortunate that the “merchants of death” have since devised methods to beat security agencies at the borders, chief among them, through the footpaths. These methods include the use of camels, donkeys and cows to traffic arms, ammunition and drugs such as cocaine into Nigeria. The fact that the weapons are small, light and collapsible makes it easy to be concealed and moved on camels and donkeys’ backs in a specially crafted skin or thatched bags mainly meant for the illegal “expedition” undetected. Similarly, some cows and grains merchants in the North-East sub-region of the country device means of hiding cache of arms and ammunition in empty fuel tankers, vehicle engines and bags of grains.

“The “grains” are transported in large number via trucks, trailers, lorries and old model pickup vans and Jeeps with little attention given to them by security agents. The use of Jega-type of tricycles (KEKE-NAPEP) as well as camels, donkeys, and cows (moving in flocks) to deceive, hide and conveniently traffic arms in some parts of the North are ways hitherto unknown, not well known”, Musa noted.

He explained further that “the Libyan and Malian rebels are desperate to exchange arms for money to Boko Haram terrorists, their financiers and collaborators as the sect has since been affiliated to Al-Qaida in the Maghreb. This has added to the overwhelming challenge of the influx of illegal aliens, arms, ammunition and sophisticated IED materials into the country and an efficient and effective fight against terrorism,” Musa had stated.

Sunday Tribune was, however, told that the political angle is already taking the center stage of discreet investigation into the discoveries. Already, it was gathered that investigation into the Kano arms caches has been extended to foreign soil, while the security agencies are said to be mounting pressure to ensure that Zamfara vigilantes are not armed with weapons.

As the arms influx expands, the questions on the lips of keen security analysts are many. Who is preparing for war? Is the North becoming a Somalia? And is the South too secretly building up its own arms, and/or has not been undetected? Could the flexing of muscles by politicians be a subtle declaration of war over 2015?

Only a thorough investigation by the security agencies can provide the necessary answers.

Amaechi is a fraud, yet his administration built the best and highest number of primary schools in Nigeria. We get it, you guys don't like Amaechi because you feel he betrayed your brother,even when leaving pdp was never his 1st choice, he was forced out so you guys didn't really leave him with any choice. You push someone out, he then turns against you then you turn around to label him a betrayer, how is that logical?

Claims and counter claims like this makes one believe d APC were only united in one thing (driving away GEJ) with lies and propaganda and now dat d 'constant' has been sent packing they find it to sustain d 'variables' which is their empty promises/ clandestine interests. In saner climes, this particular statemnt by d Army chief ought to be investigated in national interest and its veracity or otherwise established and if found to be true dat he was actually playing to d gallery in order to translate their often 'selfies' into work progress should be penalised. One might wonder what cud be d motive of d military in this case if not to create d impression dat they v decimated d BH further than they met it after Gej hand over yet there is suicide bombing in Nig now on daily bases and innocent people are dying. Thank God d state gov is also APC hence conflict of interest might not have arisen. Two and half LGAs are under full control of BH and d Army chief (not even dia spokesperson) are feignig ignorance. I might be forced to believe dat this govt is running on an auto- deceit button. Someone shd remind this govt u dont give ultimatum to terrorists, US never gave Bin Laden capture a deadline but still went ahead to eliminate him. My prob is dat most of d democratic credentials achieved by Yar Adua n GEJ are gradually being eroded under d bigotry and fundamentalist mindset of PMB, imagine d natnl Inec Chairman a Hausa/Fulani and d SS Inec natnl comissioner a hard core Muslim. One Nigeria my foot. Until I see a selfie of Buratai doing his normal press ups in those affected LGAs, I will stick with d Governor on this.

NgeneUkwenu:
Amaechi Knows that, Wike Winning the rerun will automatically render him a political nonentity in the South South...Yes Ngene says so!!!

But the question is: Amaechi as a Minister Of Niger Delta, with all the Federal Power (DSS, Army, Navy, Airforce, Civil Defence, INEC, Even Millitant) allow Wike to get 20% of the Votes?? Your Guess is as good as mine!!!

It will be a Walk Over for Peterside anyday!

Babacele:
Wike knew he couldn't win hence his resort to violence n rigging . do u rig an election u are sure of winning? the calculation doesn't support another ikwere man after 8 years. Wike will soon come to reality when his pack of lies,violence n propaganda scatters under real politicking by professor Amaechi. Na only Ikwere dey Rivers? we go shock una!

Episteme2:
Rivers, open your eyes to see the desperation in the eyes of these APC hangers-on who want to grab Rivers government house at all cost. You can never be better under APC-led administration. APC just want to add Rivers and Akwaibom to perpetuate themselves in power through crippling opposition and entrenching one party system in our polity. We have all seen the non-inclusivity and insensitivity of the APC-led Federal Government and how Buhari has flagrantly acted in a manner that confirms the fears of Southerners against voting him. Rewarding his party with two more states in the South South would be our greatest undoing. Consider Imo State and see what Rochas has turned it into.
Look at how Rivers has dramatically developed in just 5months of Wike's tenure. APC is alien to us and they have not in any way shown course why we should welcome them. What have we gained from our brother's(Amaechi) alliance with them? Just a mere minister.

Gbawe:
On the whole, PDP will likely will a rerun in Rivers because the Party is very strong in that State. Yet the dynamics have changed slightly. While Wike would have won comfortably under Jonathan, an SS President, the GEJ/PEJ factor, clout and machinery will not now work for Wike as effectively as it did before the original elections earlier in the year. The PDP should still win but anything may happen in 90 days under an APC President and with Amaechi a Minister. The substantive point is that the APC and Amaechi can still work hard enough to mount a serious challenge against the PDP.

Gbawe:
Thanks Pa Eziachi for this brilliant post. This is what we are trying to show them. Was the over-the-top violence necessary? Was the unbelievable rigging necessary? Was the repressive throwback intimidation of the opposition necessary? The answer is no to all the above but they did it anyway because Wike and PEJ never imagined GEJ, with his Presidency as their ultmate protection 'tool', would lose the election.

Their "no shaking" thinking was that any atrocity is cool as the slate would be wiped clean once GEJ was sworn in for a second term come May 2015 and no one would have to answer for any wrongdoing. Sadly for them, this did not happen and that is why we are where we are today with the likes of Wike and his minions in an uncomfortable position because they may possibly face punishment for the violence, arson et al as Buhari vowed.

Gbawe:
I like you. you are amusing. Jonathan who was busy cutting deals to save his own skin? When will you get it that GEJ did everything to remain in power yet the forces that decided he must go, before he destroyed Nigeria, were too powerful and influential for the cowardly, self-preservationist and accidental President to dare look in the face? You think it was only local politics at play?

David Cameron, UK PM, called GEJ, who was reluctant to concede victory, to promise him he would face ICC prosecution, like Charles Taylor, if his attempt to sit tight and cling to power, even when Buhari had clearly won, led to violence and death. You guys are 100% sentimental and 0% pragmatic. GEJ was always about his own self-preservation ahead of anything else. He did not want to leave and was ready to fight dirty and this started with the Orubebe show of shame while results were being announced. Believe what you want anyway. You never do reality. You are just emotional 100% of the time.
