CHANGE has finally come to Nigeria!

Nobody is talking shit about "na dem dem", recycling of old politicians, the guys are crooks or they are not qualified.

Rather the celebration here for some people of which i find very childish and irresponsible is that a certain person's name who has become their lifetime nightmare was not announced in their perceived position that he was supposed to get maybe because they are the president or the party in govt to decide who gets what.

Even the Igbos who are to be appointed to any position and the man touted for the SGF have accepted the appointments stressing that it is the prerogative of Mr. President to appoint whoever he chooses then one wonders why and of what importance is this particular appointment to the wailing wailers as a certain name was not mentioned? They jubilate as people who just stroke a Goldmine.

Wike in another propaganda,
If Amaechi was named as SGF the story would have been "Thats what he has bought with our money, APC will not see corruption in him because he was their cash cow etc, now he s not named another propaganda and jubilation in the camp of those who believe they've caused Amaechi's downfall.

These days, it's like Wike and his co-travellers owns and operates all the Junk online news media.

lwise:
I guess you are the foolish one here,in a sane society Amaechi should be in jail by now.

For killing you?

"[i]They argued that you cannot recall a lawmaker on Hajj to Nigeria for the sole purpose of screening and confirming the ministers."

This is very pathetic and irresponsible for any reasonable person to say, not to mention that it is coming from a distinguished senator of the federal republic of Nigeria.

I think the problem with our legislative arm is that we have a lot of people(money miss roads) who have no business with governance in the first place not to talk of having a seat in our highly esteemed red chamber.

I smh for the man who that statement because it is really embarrassing and goes on to show how unserious and selfish we are as a people in matters of national interest.

"Giving a breakdown of the loan and how it was utilised, the minister said $500m was used for the expansion of four International Airport Terminals in Lagos, Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt; $500m for the Abuja Light Rail project; $984m for the Zungeru Hydro-electric power project and $100m for the Galaxy Backbone project"

So how much in essence was borrowed? because following the breakdown, the amount is definitely beyond $1b.

May God strengthen them for the task ahead

Wike has started very well, and every sensible person is in the town is applauding his strides. Amaechi has done his part; it's Wike's now. Government is a continuum.

There are no strides to applaud as far as reality is concerned unless one wants to be applauding and encouraging mediocrity. Meanwhile he should do well to pay workers salary or has the month not ended yet?

Chiaka:
Bad try! !! Rivers people knows Wike is out to work and he is working .....already. The pics are very recent pics. Haters will usually vomit their weak venom. Bad try as always!

All the pictures shown are almost irrelevant as one cannot make anything out of though i stand to be corrected, "Those roads shown ends the way they are in the pictures, nothing tangible has been added to it and they are only used for political propaganda like the ones T.A Orji was doing in Abia State.

dearpreye:
Bro, YOU need to change. Isn't that the word?

This thread isn't about comparing Ameachi and Wike; it's about appreciating the smart beginning of Wike.

And for sure this is indeed change but rdefinitely a NEGATIVE one if i must say.

calebo101:

If I call you fool now you go say I insult you. Kindly SHUT UP PLEASE!!!

To call someone a fool is'nt insult per se on the person you called but on you who called it because you are inferior that's why.
This Wike's start does not just make him smart but "Smart Thief". If sharing money among his political unproductive cronies is your definition of been smart then it's no surprise why you are his fan because as they say birds of same feather flocks together.

According to Amaechi, Wike's skills and talents are highly needed in Nollywood rather than in Rivers State Govt house. He is a good "acting" Governor.

All the sites of those pictures remains the same till date after huge sums of money has been paid to his political dubious contractors otherwise let him make public the amount of money that has been paid for those projects lets compare with the amount of work done.

200Million times, there s no perimeter whatsoever to compare Wike to Amaechi because they are not just in the same class. Rotimi Amaechi is and will continue to be Kilometers away from Wike in all aspects of Governance and Leadership.

Wike and his Rivers PDP are petty thieves and propagandists.
Gov. Wike had to borrow to pay one month salary? Or is there another Rivers state that this Samuel Nwanosike tout is talking about? Because the only salary owed by Amaechi before he left office was for the month of April.
I've always said that gov. Wike as Samuel Nwanosike are birds of same feather and by their utterances, one need not be surprised they both come from the Task force dept of a Motor park.

Congrats to them and HML.
But please did you guys meet here on nairaland?
God bless the republic of nairaland.

Distraction! That's just what Wike is doing, he should pay Rivers state civil servants their salaries.before his illusionary bridges and towers.

Wike is as frustrated as the devil himself.

Someone wil jst stay wia he is;think out sumtin as as silly as dis ; den pick up verses dat sumhow corresponds.. Stingy ppl hiding under d shadow of religion.Dat is y it is said dat marriage is for "men" not "boys" .Men who are responsibly ready for all dat comes wit getting married & staying married..very soon dey wil say traditional marriage is a sin and should b stopped ...plss bride price has been & wil always b part of our tradition...

Before you expect huge bride price of what economic value are you? Because i guess its only liabilities that reason this way, they want a short cut luxury and wealth disguised in the name of marriage. Some of them cant even make, plane, or keep a home. No wonder there divorce cases, rituals, and lots of diverse crimes everywhere these days becauae of greed and unnecessary show of vanities.

finamaris:
Let's not jump into conclusion,because to
me dere there is a reason for bride price which is to prepare the groom foR d task ahead


To prepare d groom for d responsibility he is abt to undertake thereby making him strong and independent
To prevent broken homes ( if you never ready make you no enter. Na for matured mind)

And you didnt read that after Jacob served his father in law he was settled with some amount of .... the father in law demanding for huge bride price for her daughter, what does he has to offer after all or is it not also tradition that the bride's family blesses the groom and the bride to establish them?

Adaeze003:
The aim of religion is not to uproot us from our culture Mr. The aim of Christianity as far as I'm concerned is to have everlasting life amongst other things. Now, does paying bride price hinder that?

Like I said, those are laws for the jews and not Christians at large.

I do not subscribe to the idea of bride price as well. Slaves are bought not wives. But that's the tradition of the land you're in or intend to marry from. It can be changed but not by hiding behind Christianity. Christianity does not prohibit paying of bride price is all I'm saying.

Now some people are choosing the rules meant for the jews and the ones meant for others but they want full inheritance and privleges as the jews but with reservations. When it suits us, it's our tradition, when it doesnt, it's not Biblical. Christianity now has prefrences, those to choose and those to leave. Na god go dey watch una one by one.

SeverusSnape:
Thanks to Buhari's right hand man Amaechi.

I guess thats the essence of this thread, since no one is willing to say it, let the wailer himself introduce it. Amaechi is corrupt is no longer news, what should be news now is what has Wike done with over 40billion naira at his disposal within 2months?

NormalCodes:
If u feel the buzz and expectancy here, u go fear.
East is buzzing, from Iguocha to Enugu to Yenegoa, Asaba, Aba.
People have settled for carrying arms.

Biafrans have accepted to fight version 2.0.

For the fact that this generation have accepted that option, u should know by now they have given up on Nigeria a long time ago.
Let me tell u one secret, anyone who is openly against Biafra or Director is targeted as a sabo, on my BBM I see lots of pinging babes, all having Biafran flags or Director's image on their DP, everyone has bought the message. So, we have accepted our fate.

"Director, the boys under my command are fairing on well, the preparations are on top gear, we are waiting for your command our leader, we will die at the battlefield, we do not care anymore, either Biafra or we are better off dead." - Pastor Sunday from Aba.



Matter finish since, NBC came in late.

No wonder, because its like Biafra is more hot in Aba and Anambra but you people should not cry foul again o this time it will be Godwin Emefiele that will be tagged the Awolowo, War is not militancy or kidnapping o, War means death and fight to finish i hope you guys are well set and ready when the music will start.

pazienza:
Ndiigbo are whatever we say we are. Yes we are more sophisticated than you. A case in study is the civil war. If it were fought in the era without Caucasian interference, you will be our slaves now, you had no local answers to Ogbunigwe, you busy with plates begging your Caucasian masters for weapons, like Buhari just did not long ago,

We are as relevant as it comes, our relevancy is internal, yours is external( You can't manufacture weapons).

Ndiigbo don't need natural resources to be relevant, look at Germany and Japan, we dont need population to be relevant, Switzerland, Lichtenstein are not the most populous countries in the world, we have the most important ingredients needed to be relevant and important in the modern world, and that is the most quality human resources in Nigeria.

...... And yet you are the most people living outside your almighty Biafra land, who even need each other more, you that cannot live in your own land and prosper or people who stay in their neighbourhood and do their thing? In fact its very obvious tha anyone talking about Biafra is confused.

pazienza:
Awolowo greed only turned him to a slave to Gowon and to the North. And when he sought to break free of Northern chains, he committed treason the second time, like they said, once an ex convict, always an ex convict. Your Awo greed drove him into suicide via rat poisoning, he died like a rat.

And now what he feared most is still going to befall Odua people. Awo's greatest fear was the Yorubas having to co -exist alone with the North, to that end he sought to drag Biafrans into the Union.

But in the end Boko Islamic REPUBLIC of Arewa-Oduanistan would be established, so that the Arewanistans will finish their job they started at Kwara centuries ago. Both of you deserves each other.

And you who is not a slave to the Arewa people because of your dogged, enterprising and smart nature, where are you now, Biafra Republic i guess? You guys should get a life and look for ways to better your zone and stop blaming Dick, Tom, and Harry up and down. Btw, if your Biafra was to be a land filled with milk and honey as you all are portraying her to be then why is her children scattered everywhere like vagabonds? I've always maintained that God is super wise to have created the Igbos the way he did otherwise imagine where and what would have befallen other regions if the SE was like the North with all her population or the SS with all her Natural resources but God is so wise the He only gave them crafty brains and loud mouthedness to brag and pose as if they are the most sophisticated while in real terms they ve got little or nothing relevant. A case study is the just concluded Presidential election, without them, a President emerged with votes from other regions to show how inconsoquential they are in the scheming of things.

Now the North is not crying foul like aome cry cry babies, anyway idonblvit until i see T.A Orji and Chinedu Orji in that list.

carnegiefan:
You sound bitter bro. Just take a chill pill please. It will help your reasoning power.
Radio Biafra is already jamming your NBC and they said that they are only warming up; and guess what? They are actually delivering on their threats promises.
Most of you are preparing to fight the Biafrans of 1967, but you have no idea what you are up against this time, mainly because you are not thinking. You are simply speaking emotionally without thinking.
For perspectives, think about these figures for example. In 1967, there was about 9 million Biafrans. Today it is about 60 million.
There are about 4 million Biafrans scattered ALL OVER THE WORLD covering EVERY TIME ZONE.
If I were you I would not threaten war, believe me.

But lets get back to topic please. Thanks.

Another empty talk of threat, Biafrans are well known for their ranting while in real life they're just empty barrels. I hope you guys are not depending on the Niger Delta oil and their deep boundary waters because you guys will be in for another surprise this time it might not be a case of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Reconciliation, now you are bragging about your numerical strenght maybe your brain isnt telling you that the day a warrior was born in your land, a greater one was also born somewhere else. Keeping the Biafran Radio rant alive but remember not to cry foul when the chips are down.

dokyOloye:
There will be no war this time.
If a ppl say they don't wanna belong to a country/organisation,d logical thing is to let them go.
Abi una be kidnappers?

Are you saying that you people are colonized in Nigeria? Well Nnamdi Kanu or whatever his name is not and will not drag a race into another civil war because i doubt if the Igbos will survive another civil war. By the way, who has stopped the developement of the South East, is it external forces, and what magic will the Igbo do to get to their fantacy eldorado without commitment.

carnegiefan:
Well the radio seems to be winning you already. You should stop it first before boasting of the ability to win a second civil war.
Una nefa see anything.

Biafrans winning on radio since 1968 according to Akpabio on Radio Biafra has entered the enemy's territory but in real life the enemy has destroyed Onitsha and entrying Umuahia... you'll soon blame another sabo for your woeful defeat.

pazienza:
Biafra vs Nigeria in 1967 minus Foreign interference( foreign weapon supplies) = Biafrans with Ogbunigwe vs Nigerians with matchets/ bows.

The war would have been over in a matter of weeks with Nigeria bombed into stone age.

When Ojukwu said that Biafra had the strongest Army in black Africa, he wasn't boasting.


You can't manufacture your own weapons, you depend on Caucasians to supply you weapons with its attached conditions, yet you boast of being capable of defeating Biafrans who had already gone past Ogbunigwe levels?

Ever wondered what would happen when you Caucasian masters deny you weapons and leave you at the mercy of Biafrans? Do you have the brains to manufacture and engineer weapons locally?
Do you know how bitter most Biafrans are, do you know how much most want to revenge your atrocities in Biafra?

You better watch it. Stop threatening Biafrans with war, this is not 1960's, your Caucasian masters interests are no longer the same. Don't expect unhindered free flow of weapons from them, while stifling Biafrans of weapons.

You might be the one to wail this time around.

Another bunch of excuses, lamentations and wailings, so when your Ojukwu was starting the war he didnt anticipate a situation where foreign mercenaries will come in or didnt the "Biafra" jabe foreigns allies? Awolowo only changed the Pounds to Naira and rendered the loots and boasting prowess of Ojukwu powerless. Now you guys have started again, this time i hope the Govt will do well to capture the initiators and save innocent lives.
