[VIDEO] BREAKING: Ibas Speaks Of What He Will Do After Tinubu Swore Him In As Rivers Sole Administrator


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_QjANvwdl4?si=lOm4KHH9NA-uOcd1

For I-no-go-watch/read-but-I-must-comment crew, here's the gist, Oga Ibas said his priority is to maintain "peace, order, security and stability in Rivers State"

Iamthoney:
But then again Dangote can’t come out and say every crude he bought in Naira was sold in Naira after refining can he?

That's exactly what they came out to say in paragraph 2 of the press release.

To date, our sales of petroleum products in Naira have exceeded the value of Naira-denominated crude we have received. As a result, we must temporarily adjust our sales currency to align with our crude procurement currency.

Very much on track? Meaning Trump is getting his pound of flesh and Putin gets to keep occupied territories?

DOM7:
Sure that is the only way to go, he's out for business if the wicked cabals refuse to sale for them in naira you don't expect them to sale in naira, they cabals we carry out this wickedness and turn back and blackmail Dangote for everything, this Man strong head if not he for don back out and pack his thing to another country.

$20 billion investment no be beans. If you sink that amount of money anywhere na fight to death oo.

oluwaseyi0:
You want to buy crude in naira but don't want to sell pms in naira

Not exactly. Did you even read the OP? What they're claiming is that they've bought crude in dollars so selling PMS in naira is no longer sustainable, and that they'll promptly resume selling in naira as soon as NNPC supplies them crude in naira.

The pressure is getting worser!

A long walk to freedom, that's the story of the Nigerian energy sector.

Six month suspension flying left and right.

... But that seasoned journalist, hmm.

If the left weren’t so woke, this Trump issue could have been avoided. Or perhaps if they had a more moderate candidate that isn't a senile old man.

I wish only the American people would suffer the consequences of their choice, unfortunately, when America sneezes, the world catches a old.

Bro seemed more pained by the fact that he hustled for two years to afford a wedding, only to discover that the 'product' had been compromised upon delivery, and by none other than his bro. Who knows—I'm just assuming here—maybe he even borrowed more money for the wedding, and the thought of paying off debt for a broken marriage was unbearable.

They should investigate this as a murder case. Just because you find a corpse, a bottle of poison, and a lousy suicide note next to it doesn’t automatically mean suicide.

Akpabio is doing too much, abeg. I wonder how much he has spent so far on his image-bolstering campaign.

Akpabio and Natasha are both bad people, and neither's badness cancels out the other. I'm beginning to feel this whole drama stems from a deal gone bad—where Natasha scratched his potbelly back, but he failed to scratch hers. He breached a contract to safeguard her 'privileges,' including, but not limited to, chairing lucrative committees, ensuring the smooth passage of her bills, and securing nominations for career-enhancing international activities. And she said, "you can't chop me and clean mouth oo, I'm not like [so and so], dem no born you well aswear! I'll show you that I'm a true Ebira girl, by the time I'm through with you ehn... *Snaps fingers* "

Well, to hell with the both of them.

This is not her first attendance at an IPU event. She accompanied the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to the 148th IPU General Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland in March, 2024 as part of Nigeria’s official delegation.

When the going was good. Didn't her husband warn her not to travel with Akpabio?

She actually shot herself in the leg in her IPU speech by saying herself that she was there illegally.

fman:
I deleted it.
The comments from people made me to delete it

See what we're saying? If random strangers off the Internet can pressure you into deleting the screenshots, maybe you're not as "alpha" as you think.

A true alpha wouldn’t cave like that—he’s so grounded in his identity, his actions, and his beliefs that the opinions of a hundred million people wouldn’t mean sh!t 😜

Posting chat screenshots just to show off female attention? That’s not a flex—it’s cringe. It’s like jerking off in public. Real men don’t kiss and tell. That’s something little boys do when they’re desperate for validation.

That's a welcome development, may it continue on that trend.

Meanwhile, what's responsible for the drop, do you know?

If you have to announce it, you probably aren’t a so-called “alpha male.” See how she’s putting that in quotes—“alpha male”? That’s called sarcasm. Unlike you, she probably has sense, which is exactly why she said she won’t choose you.

Also, what does “don’t be unrealistic with your approach to triviality” even mean? Are you just throwing together big words to sound smart? And by the way, it’s “being,” not “been.” See how she’s using punctuation? Try to emulate that—it helps.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes, personal struggles become too difficult to navigate alone. Stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and self-doubt can cloud judgment and make it challenging to move forward. In such moments, seeking professional guidance can be a transformative step toward clarity and healing. Trueself Counselling provides a compassionate and safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, identify challenges, and develop effective coping strategies. Through personalized therapy sessions, individuals can gain self-awareness, emotional strength, and a deeper understanding of their thoughts and behaviors, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life.

The Importance of Individual Counselling in Mental Well-being
Mental health is just as vital as physical health, yet many people hesitate to seek support due to fear, stigma, or uncertainty about the process. Individual counselling offers a private and supportive environment where individuals can openly discuss their struggles without judgment. At Trueself Counselling, therapy is tailored to each person's unique experiences and goals, ensuring that their concerns are addressed in a way that resonates with them. Whether dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or personal conflicts, counselling provides the tools to understand emotions, manage difficulties, and work toward a healthier mindset. By prioritizing mental well-being, individuals can experience greater peace, resilience, and emotional stability.

Overcoming Anxiety and Stress Through Therapy
Anxiety and stress are common challenges that affect millions of people, often interfering with daily life, work, and relationships. Constant worry, restlessness, and overwhelming emotions can make even the simplest tasks feel exhausting. Trueself Counselling helps individuals recognize the root causes of their anxiety and develop effective strategies to manage it. Therapy focuses on identifying triggers, reframing negative thoughts, and practicing relaxation techniques that promote inner calm. By addressing stress and anxiety in a structured way, individuals can regain control over their emotions, build confidence, and find relief from the burdens that weigh them down.

Healing from Past Trauma and Emotional Pain
Unresolved trauma can have a lasting impact on a person’s mental and emotional well-being, often resurfacing in unexpected ways. Whether stemming from childhood experiences, past relationships, or significant life events, trauma can manifest as fear, anger, or emotional numbness. Trueself Counselling offers a compassionate approach to healing by providing a safe space to process past wounds. Through specialized therapeutic techniques, individuals can work through painful memories, reframe their perspectives, and begin the journey toward emotional healing. With time and support, individuals can release the weight of the past and embrace a future of renewed strength and self-acceptance.

Enhancing Self-Awareness and Personal Growth
Understanding oneself is a crucial aspect of leading a fulfilling life. Many individuals struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, or a lack of direction, which can hinder personal and professional growth. Trueself Counselling encourages self-exploration by helping individuals identify their values, strengths, and aspirations. Through guided reflection and meaningful conversations, therapy fosters a deeper connection with one’s true self. This newfound awareness empowers individuals to make confident decisions, set personal goals, and pursue a life that aligns with their authentic desires. Personal growth is a lifelong journey, and counselling serves as a guiding light in discovering one’s true potential.

Improving Emotional Regulation and Coping Skills
Emotions play a significant role in shaping thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. However, when emotions become overwhelming or difficult to manage, they can lead to impulsive actions, conflicts, or feelings of helplessness. Trueself Counselling focuses on teaching individuals how to regulate their emotions in a healthy and constructive manner. By learning coping mechanisms such as mindfulness, self-reflection, and stress management techniques, individuals can respond to challenges with greater clarity and composure. Developing emotional intelligence allows individuals to navigate life’s ups and downs more effectively, fostering resilience and a balanced state of mind.

Strengthening Relationships Through Individual Therapy
While individual counselling primarily focuses on personal well-being, it also has a profound impact on relationships. Unresolved emotions, communication difficulties, and personal insecurities can create barriers in friendships, family dynamics, and romantic partnerships. Through therapy at Trueself Counselling, individuals gain insight into their relational patterns and learn how to express themselves more effectively. By improving self-awareness and emotional regulation, individuals can foster healthier connections with others. When a person understands their own needs and boundaries, they can communicate them more clearly, leading to stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Navigating Life Transitions with Confidence
Life is full of transitions, whether it’s moving to a new city, changing careers, ending a relationship, or facing a significant loss. These transitions can be overwhelming and filled with uncertainty, making it difficult to adapt and move forward. Trueself Counselling provides guidance and support during these pivotal moments, helping individuals navigate change with confidence. Therapy offers a space to process emotions, explore new perspectives, and develop strategies for adjusting to new circumstances. With the right support, life’s transitions can become opportunities for growth rather than sources of stress and anxiety.

Embracing a More Fulfilling and Authentic Life
At the core of individual counselling is the journey toward authenticity and self-fulfillment. Many individuals go through life feeling disconnected from their true selves, often conforming to societal expectations or suppressing their genuine emotions. Trueself Counselling helps individuals reconnect with their inner values, passions, and purpose. By working through emotional barriers and gaining clarity, individuals can live more intentionally and authentically. The process of self-discovery and healing allows individuals to create a life that aligns with their true desires, fostering a sense of happiness, purpose, and inner peace.

Taking the First Step Toward Healing and Clarity
Seeking counselling is a courageous step toward personal growth and emotional well-being. While it may feel intimidating at first, therapy provides a safe and empowering space to explore thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Trueself Counselling is dedicated to supporting individuals through every stage of their journey, offering compassionate guidance and practical tools for healing. Whether facing anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, or personal challenges, counselling can provide the clarity needed to move forward with confidence. By embracing the process of self-exploration and healing, individuals can create a life that is richer, more meaningful, and true to themselves.

[quote author=Realdeals post=134536885]With Nowhere Else to Turn, Niger Begs Nigeria for Fuel Amid Severe Shortages

By: Zagazola Makama

For nearly two weeks, Niger Republic has been crippled by a severe fuel crisis, bringing vehicular movement and economic activity to a grinding halt. Long queues stretched across cities, with desperate motorists and businesses struggling to obtain a few liters of petrol. The situation was so dire that the military junta, which once prided itself on rejecting external influence, had no choice but to swallow its pride and turn to Nigeria for help.

Despite months of hostile rhetoric and diplomatic friction, Niger’s rulers quietly dispatched their Minister of Petroleum and Renewable Energy, along with top officials from the Niger Petroleum Company (SONIDEP), to beg Abuja for urgent fuel supplies. Nigeria, ever the regional big brother, obliged, approving the immediate delivery of 300 fuel trucks across the border to Niamey.

Niger’s fuel crisis didn’t happen overnight. It was the direct consequence of a disastrous confrontation between the ruling junta and Chinese oil companies, which have long dominated Niger’s petroleum sector. The trouble began in March 2024, when China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) granted the Nigerien government a $400 million advance, using future crude oil deliveries as collateral. This deal was meant to help Niger cope with the crippling economic sanctions imposed by ECOWAS following the July 2023 coup. However, when it came time to repay the debt, the junta found itself strapped for cash.

Rather than negotiating, the military rulers decided to strong-arm China. In a move that stunned industry insiders, they slapped an $80 billion tax demand on SORAZ (Zinder Refinery Company) despite the state-owned Sonidep already owing SORAZ a staggering $250 billion. When China refused to provide additional loans, the junta retaliated by expelling Chinese oil executives from the country and seizing SORAZ’s bank accounts.

A Self-Inflicted Crisis

This reckless decision backfired almost immediately. Niger’s entire petroleum sector which is heavily reliant on Chinese expertise and investment began to collapse. The SORAZ refinery, the lifeline of Niger’s fuel supply, ground to a halt, and fuel shortages spread like wildfire.
This crisis could not have come at a worse time. The Niger-Benin oil pipeline, a project designed to boost Niger’s crude exports to 100,000 barrels per day by 2025, was also at risk. With Chinese engineers gone and no viable alternative in place, the junta’s decision plunged the country into economic uncertainty.

Turning to Nigeria for Help

For weeks, the military leadership refused to acknowledge the crisis publicly. State-controlled media was ordered to stay silent about the fuel shortage and the growing unrest among Nigeriens, who were forced to buy petrol at sky-high black-market prices.

But as the situation worsened, the junta had no choice but to seek external help even if it meant approaching Nigeria, the very country they had repeatedly criticized since the coup.
Without any public announcement, Niger quietly sent a delegation to Abuja, appealing for an emergency fuel supply. The irony was lost on no one this was the same junta that had openly defied ECOWAS sanctions, severed ties with France and the West, and aligned itself with Russia. Yet when faced with economic collapse, it was Nigeria that they turned to for salvation.

Nigeria Plays the Good Neighbor Again

Despite months of insults, false accusations, name calling, diplomatic snubs, and hostility, Nigeria once again stepped in to help. It was gathered that the Nigerian Government approved the release of 300 fuel trucks, which immediately began crossing into Niger to ease the crisis.

The junta, however, remains too proud to admit its dependency. While fuel shipments from Nigeria have already started alleviating the crisis, Niger’s state media has deliberately avoided reporting where the fuel is coming from. Instead, the government has attempted to portray the fuel availability as a result of its own internal measures a claim that many Nigeriens are beginning to question.

Will Nigeria Gain Diplomatic Leverage?

While Nigeria’s generosity is commendable, the real question remains: What does Nigeria get in return? Will this act of goodwill translate into improved diplomatic relations? Will Niger’s military rulers rethink their hostility toward ECOWAS? Or will they simply take the fuel and continue their defiance once the crisis subsides?

Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: when Niger was on the brink of disaster, it was Nigeria not Russia, not China, not any of its new allies that stepped up to provide relief.

For now, Niger has been forced to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: no matter how much they try to distance themselves from Nigeria, they remain dependent on their bigger neighbor.

And whether the junta admits it or not, Nigeria remains the lifeline Niger cannot afford to sever.

same junta that accused Nigeria of plotting against them—the same one that stubbornly refused to engage in dialogue with ECOWAS, an organization Nigeria has supported more than any other country in the region. That was disrespectful. As a landlocked nation situated next to Africa’s largest economy (with access to the ocean), a certain level of humility is expected from Niger.

Now, after getting themselves into a hot mess, they’re coming back to their vomit. Wuna never see anything, shege is still loading...

Many of you are actually confusing depression with lack of money. Money is the most important thing in this life and a man without money will suffer the consequences.

No matter what you are passing through right now always
remember nobody cares about you Infact if you die today they won’t know if anyone is dead. They just throw you back for dogs to eat

Do whatever it takes In your power to take away shame and take anything that could take you out of poverty zone more seriously

The world is cruel to broke people and this is what made me thought about my life some years ago and decide in myself I will put in the work

This actually made me go into online business and find a way to make it work for me and i learnt some skills that changes my life till today and I am willing to share this to anyone ready to take their life more seriously. Dropping WhatsApp link below to get the video

Throw your body for the dogs to eat? LMAO! That’s extreme, bro! I'm not rich, but I have people in my life who would lose their minds if they even thought something had happened to me. There are people who genuinely adore my broke ass. What will I say? I'm just blessed.

Will that stop me from chasing the bag? Never! If anything, it motivates me to make the raba so I can financially bless the people I've been blessed with.

Now, I get where you're coming from—that may be the reality for some people. But I don’t think you need to paint such a gloomy picture to make your point.

Confirmed AI generated, which school you go.

You’ve raised a thoughtful point, providing financial support doesn’t necessarily rebuild or strengthen a relationship. It’s possible to assist out of obligation or respect while keeping emotional distance.

You know you won't die if you admit you like how I write, abi? 😜

I don’t understand fathers who abandon their children when they need them the most, only to reappear later—when the child has made it—to claim a share in what they never helped to build. After all, it’s a father who brings a son into the world, not the other way around. Family is more than just blood; it’s about the people who stand by you through thick and thin, those who would bleed for you if necessary.

That said, the optics of this situation don’t reflect well on the young man’s brand, regardless of their history. When you’ve reached a certain level of success, magnanimity is expected. Sometimes, you have to rise above and overlook things—not for their sake, but for the stature you’ve attained.

I just saw my siwes result now and yo be honest it too poor… I filled my logbook, did the report and I defended (I didn’t do well sha due to anxiety on the defense day) I get anxious of crowd and aometime I forget alot. I even wrote the exam over 20 I had 12/20

Result came out and I’m seeing D in 9 unit course out of 8 result I had 4 A, 3 B and 1 D and it in IT… I’m so pissed right now because it has affected my cgpa so bad

I don’t know what to do
If I should complain? Because this thing have been worrying me since… I better I had D in place of those B and Have A in place of that D

Please I need yall advice.
I don’t know if they made mistake on my score
I spent money on this siwes

Wow, this brings back some memories… SMH.

My IT was a blast—I did mine in a directorate on campus, so it felt like being both a worker and a student. Those six months were the best part of my university experience, I worked on an important project that our school got through a grant from MacArthur Foundation, with it, I got a glowing reference letter from the office of the VC. I was so happy and so proud! By the end of it, my logbook was full and impressive, my report was excellent, and I knew my defence was already solid—public speaking has always been my forte. I was gearing up for a sure A.

Then, two days before submission, a close friend and coursemate borrowed my logbook and report. I was reluctant, but he was my best pal in the entire department, so I handed them over. What did I hear the next morning? He climbed up to my room—his was directly below mine—to ask if I had come to collect my logbook the previous night. No. That’s when he told me his room had been broken into, and everything was stolen—his laptop, our reports, his logbook, my logbook.

I was livid. There was a nuclear explosion in my head—I could feel my brain melting into a boiling goo. Six. Freaking. Credit. Units!

We reported it to the security office, the exams officer, we spoke to every lecturer we had a relationship with in the department. My friend spoke to his uncle, a HOD from a neighboring department, to plead on our behalf, but by the time anything could be resolved, it was too late to defend with our mates. What had been a confident A had turned into a looming F overnight. I was devastated. That result was supposed to solidify my 2.1—losing it because of someone else’s carelessness was unbearable.

We missed the defense, along with the 40 marks that came with it. I had to buy a new logbook and rewrite everything from memory, filling it mostly with manufactured content. By the time we got new logbooks, everyone else had already submitted theirs. I couldn’t even submit mine in time to get the SIWES ₦15k.

In the end, I got a D—which felt like the end of the world and a miracle simultaneously, considering everything I went through and the Frankenstein-esque nature of my logbook. But I was depressed for the first time in my life. That one event affected the rest of my university experience—I lost my weak 2.1, lost focus, started drifting through school, and let my demons grow stronger by not fighting them as hard as I used to.

What’s the point of this long epistle? Don’t lose focus. Don’t lose guard, my brother. Fight.

You have a beautiful result—I know you’re not lazy or dumb—so find a way to have that D reviewed. 9 CU no be beans. That’s too heavy to ignore; fight tooth and nail for it, because it can make or break your final results. CGPA is cumulative—subjected to the law of gravity, it's hard to push up but easy to fall.

Regardless of what happens, don’t lose faith. Don’t lose focus. Fight. Fight harder.

You’re in university now, but you won’t be there forever—make it count in the best possible way.

I pray for strength, wisdom, and perseverance as you navigate this and the rest of your university journey.
