Then report to UN, UK, Hague and even hell.

Have you heard Ffk or Omokri say nothing?

I heard Reno Omokiri say something.

Only that this time he is blasting Oby Ezekwesili for criticizing Wike.

Sommyroy10:
Oh sorry.
At their prime, you are a manager, you had space for just one and you let the other go, who would choose to stay?

It is hard to separate Iniesta and Xavi.


One was flashy and graceful, the other was very efficient and direct.


Oga sorry I cannot fit answer ya question.






NB

On a second thought, it depends on the composition of my current team.

If I already have a player in the mould of Busquets I'd go for Iniesta.
But if I already have a player like Neymar or Messi I'd go for Xavi.

So you see, I still cannot answer your question.

Sommyroy10:
Dear Cules, I know we don't like to be asked this question

But, if you were to pick one, just one, who would it be Xavi or Iniesta? (I'm not asking who is better, lol)
State your reasons.

They both retired now.

Pick one for what?

You need to clarify....

Demolition: Nigeria Needs Courageous Leaders Like Wike - IgbereTV Boss, Anyalekwa


By Emeh James Anyalekwa

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Sunday, May 10 2020, oversaw the demolition of a hotel and a bar over the violation of the current lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus in the state. The affected hotels are Prodest Hotel in Alode and Etemeteh Hotel in Onne both in Eleme Local Government Area (LGA) of the state. These buildings were demolished three days after Wike directed officials of the local government Task Force to identify hotels operating during the lockdown for demolition.


Deride him as much as you can and want. Hate him as many in the opposition have adopted to. Even some have chosen to see him as a trouble maker who is despised and criticised as brash and without finesse. Regardless however, we must come to terms with the reality that the Rivers State Governor, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike is consumed with the vision and objectives of true leadership.


Many governments around the world have effectively frozen social and economic activity in all or parts of their countries to contain the outbreak, shutting non-essential businesses and ordering residents to stay at home for weeks or months. Billions of people worldwide remain under some type of lockdown, costing the world several billions of dollar. If the threat of COVID19 is strong enough to practically shut down the global economy, no price is too much (including the demolitions ordered by Gov. Wike) to stem the tide of spread of the virus.


The Rivers State Governor issued an Executive Order with a clearly outlined consequence for any violator. A PDP youth leader in Eleme (same Politicial party with Wike) defied the Governor’s orders and threw a party that had large people in attendance. He reportedly also fired some gun shots at members of the taskforce set up by the governor, when they tried to stop the party. It was a ‘’show of might’’ which could send the wrong signal across the state that some ‘’powerful political figures are definitely above the law and untouchable, which will be detrimental to the objectives of the lockdown and checkmating the spread of the virus. Besides, it is also reported that the Youth leader had been using the hotel to perpetuate several acts of criminality in the state. There is always a red line, which in Gov. Wike's judgment, the owners of the hotel crossed on Saturday.

In a clime where indiscipline, chaos and disorder seem to be accepted as the norm; it is commendable that Wike rose up to show the world that it can no longer be business as usual. The government needed to send a very clear message to her citizens, and that was exactly what the said demolitions achieved.

As the Chief Security Officer of a nation or state, presidents or governors have both moral and constitutional obligation to use their executive powers to act when the security or life of her citizens are threatened. Executive orders are not acts of parliaments, they are not always necessarily subjected to judicial interpretation. It lies within the power of the executive to act.

This is the power President Trump exercised when he ordered the elimination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani without congressional approval. If President Trump is dragged to court over the order, all he's required in law is a proof that Soleimani posed an imminent threat to the Security of US and that he (Trump) acted in the best public interest.

Gov. Wike's action is consistent with the Governor's constitutional authorities as Chief Security Officer of the state, to do everything necessary, in his judgment, to protect the life and well being of her citizens.



From the foregoing, it is my strong conviction that the action of the Governor, is in line with the security and welfare policy of the state which he has vowed under the oath of the constitution to safeguard and protect. With the spread of coronavirus reaching the community transmission stage, many of the critics of the Governor’s action will be the same voices to clamour for his crucifixion if Rivers State gets hundreds or thousands of new coronavirus cases in the coming days.

It is pertinent to note that the Governor has made very little drama and razzmatazz of his achievements since the fight against the spread of the coronavirus pandemic began; contrary to what most political office holders have elevated into national life. Rather, Governor Wike is about delivery and he allows his work to speak for him. His proactive leadership saw over 214 people recently discharged from the isolation center in Rivers State and this has kept the State as one of the most controlled states in the federation.


There are too many voices that are clamouring for positive change but it’s obvious that many are simply paying lip service so they can remain ‘’politically relevant’’. Everyone has a right to fair hearing and the defaulters of the Executive order knew the consequence before participating in this Swan Song. In the event that any aggrieved party feels the Governor has done wrong; they have the right to seek redress in Court.

Some very valid points there;

But only problem is that: if it was Buhari who did all these, then the adjective describing him wouldn't be the word "Courageous"

We would see words like;

Tyranny
Dictatorship
Decree 4
Disobedience to rule of raw
Autocracy
1984

Etc Etc Etc

hardeycute:
.

Rubbish!

Meninmen:
I'm not in support of what wike did, but don't give an analogy that is faulty. Wike can't be persecuted while in office because he has immunity, so, in essence, no law can be applied to Governor wike. It's funny, but it's the sad reality. Secondly , if you have evidence that wike has looted, keep the evidence. It will be needed when he leaves office

Of course he can't be prosecuted while he is in office.

We are talking about he should have been prosecuted before office as Governor.

He was Chief of staff and Minister.

hardeycute:
Wike is a psychopath no doubt, it's even more embarrassing because he is a Lawyer.

I'm more interested in your second paragraph, will Buhari be walking freely also if we are to apply the Law strictly? Don't be an hypocrite, a simple Yes or No will suffice.

lol

I am also very interested in your second paragraph.

If you weren't such a busy body, you'd realise that this thread does not in any way talk about Buhari.

The thread talks about Wike's actions wrt demolishing a hotel in PH.

How does Buhari come into a Wike thread?

We might as well discuss Idi Amin, Abacha and Bin Laden on a thread about Wike demolishing a hotel. Mtcheew!

Oga when next a thread comes up about Buhari, we talk about Buhari.

I do sincerely hope that you can understand this?

festacman:
What are you talking? OK let's face it. If the laws of Nigeria are to applied on Governor Nyesom Wike the ruthless way he applied his executive order, he would have been either hanged long ago or rotting away in jail on long jail sentence. Wike is a bloody looter. He is loudmouth empty vessel.

Don't mind that dude.

If we want to apply the law strictly and throw the book at people then people like Wike would not be walking freely today.

FirstbornWds:
All in August.

Donaldoni:
Only a lunatic will call for a total shutdown where the number of deaths is less than 1,000 after over 3 months of the virus being in the country...

The sham lockdown we had previously didn't stop the numbers from increasing...

Coronavirus is no worse than other deadly diseases like TB, Cancer and co that we know...

On point..

Two Salient points..


1. Number of deaths (Not number of infections).
2. Duration of the virus in Nigeria.


This virus is obviously far far more impotent in Africa when compared with America and Europe.

FirstbornWds:
I disagree o. The guy has got potentials but is still Far-ahead.

lol

Even though i rate him much higher than you obviously do,

My comment did not mean that he is close to Xavi,
it only meant that he is much closer to Xavi than every other player that has been called the next Xavi.

slyfoxxjoe:
I laugh at all these fools who think by sitting down in your parlor and tweeting at prominent people for help, you will make it.

If wizkid tells you how many years he spent just networking - trekking the whole Surulere from one studio of a prominent producer to another and just sitting there for hours sometimes without even getting to record anything himself - before he got his break, you will understand that not everything can be done online. Sometimes you have to put in actual work.

These people get bombarded by tweets and DMs seeking help all day. They are more likely to help someone they see has earned their attention.

True; but sometimes people need something extra, maybe we could say extra-ordinary or divine.

I tell you solemnly, there are very many that are more talented than Wizkid and worked harder and treked harder but still did not make it.
Still did not blow!

FirstbornWds:
I ageee with you bro. I don't know that the board hopes to achieve selling Authur or initiating a swap deal. This guy has got the potentials to help Barcelona strong( once he's not injured). Rakitic has done his best for us, let him ply his trade elsewhere. I don't know what we need Pjanic for anyways.

Arthur is the closest thing I've seen to Xavi.

Sommyroy10:
While there is no top tier reporting this (what I'm still seeing is Arthur swap deal as Juve values Arthur for 60mil, but Barca wants a Rakitic and Vidal swap) I still don't understand this deal, dude is 30 and has played consistently as a dm for the past 5years, so what's the deal.

Any deal to send Arthur away from us would be devilish.

Those board guys must be devil worshippers.

I think it's mostly bad conditions and stigma.

Nigerians can stigmatize people ehn.

By the time such people recover and return home don't be surprised that your neighbours would treat you like outcasts despite your recovery.

They will be looking at you somehow when you are passing and even tell their children not to play with yours.

Even after 2 years!

Nadal - "Messi is the greatest athlete of all time"

Pjanic agrees to join Barca.

Valued at 60 Million Euros.


Hope we dispatch Rakitic then.

donbachi:
dont worry..only married men will understand.

lol

My wife eats it too.

But the way you put it up here sounds discriminatory.

donbachi:
She dey find where she go buy nzu(kaolin).

This sounds like a discriminatory comment.

Powerintoxicate:
Way better than oshiomole that harrased that old woman at the market when he was governor.

What's better in allowing a woman go for her ante-natals?

Even Hitler would have allowed her go.

See how our youths reason!

If Karma is not a bittch then it must be a bittch nigga.

CXLVII:



They were even given a face mask and implemented social distancing.

Nigerian police know how to package you very well when they want to fvck you up!

hehehehehehheheheheheheheheh3heheheheh3h3heheh3hehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehe

IKON360:
Our board is very stupid, De Jong was signed after a stellar season playing DM for Ajax and Netherlands, he came to Barca and only plays DM when Busquets isn't on the pitch, rather playing CM. Now they are looking at Pjanic whose best position for the past 5 years is also DM, what are they even trying to accomplish? Busquets is unbenchable when fit(I don't agree but Setien thinks so) then FDJ a very good baller has been played out of position through out this season now they want to add to the woes by bringing in Pjanic? They shouldn't even have sold Alena... I swear this board is irritating

What do they smoke in that board room?

Courtois right now!

sanemind2:
Good to hear that

Meanwhile

My Port Harcourt pple as we are going on lockdown on Thursday,lets get it going with those interesting movies, check my signature

lol

No be person wey don chop dey watch film?

The FG fell for the blackmail and relaxed the lockdown.

Buhari of all people should know by now that everything he does shall be criticised.

During the lockdown what we kept on hearing was hunger hunger hunger.

Now that he has removed the lockdown if there is an escalation the same people will say "Buhari has failed, why did he not insist on the lockdown?"


The same people who wailed that why did he not close the borders in time would have been the same ones to say "Buhari killed economic activities and increased hunger by hastily closing the borders"

I will surely tell my grandchildren, the biggest mistake one can make is to attempt to satisfy a wailer.

The biggest rivalry in Nigeria is The Rich versus The Poor.

The average poor man believes that the rich man next door Is the cause of all his problems.

Nate Dogg

othermen:
Very reasonable. We will remember those who stood by us and those who didn't. Mr Wigwe could give one or two billion naira for publicity, and throw under the bus those who have given their lives to the realisation of his dream. In saner climes, government provided palliatives to businesses so they can float, but here, folks are just extremely about themselves; not providing such palliatives to the people, or even their employee but to the government, a government we all know don't care and then what do you do afterwards? Take away the livelihood of thousands of your employees in a period they cannot possibly get another employment or find another means of survival. But glad the government could show this time they care, about us and our survival. Again, very reasonable from the CBN. Pls continue down this path.

Lol At reasonable from CBN.

Now the praise goes to CBN.

But if it was a bad thing that happneded like CBN sanctioning the sack,

Then it would have been Buhari and Buhari's government.

Sommyroy10:
What I'm seeing is swap deal. Arthur for Pjanic. No disrespect to Pjanic but He is already 30 and from this season, seem to have declined. Why don't we look at Havertz, looks promising.

Pjanic for Rakitic okay with me.

But for Arthur? Somebody's got jokes.
