It happened I'm lagos and still.happening .
.ambode was one of the finest governors lagos ever had but we all saw what happened to him....wike is just following same method .

The political structures of Lagos was already built way before Ambode

A structure smart and sound politician like Raji Fashola followed religiously

So the structure was too much for Ambode
More like an ant challenging a human being that will just crush it with a foot

There was nothing Ambode could do
Submitting to the powers over Lagos was the only option for Him



But Rivers State is different
Wike is not a political master strategist
He talked too much

People that talk too much are not great thinkers

He was more a brute/thug
What gave him relevance was Rivers State Treasury

If you know Rivers State history

Peter Odili, Amechi were all relevant and powerful governor's when they reigned because of Rivers State Treasury

So Wike s power was definitely going to be challenged when he was to leave the office


What I never really liked about this Wike fubara saga is the way he choose every political office holder for fubara

Where has it been done in Nigerian political history?

It's pure level of greed


And this battle is just starting
Because the person fubara is dealing with is a type we have never seen in Nigerian politics


Even the President should be very careful of such a character

At least Tinubu made and built men
How many men has Wike built to want to aspire such cravings

You want to control both PDP and APC

Haba only you?

Just know that this battle is just starting

And if the political elites doesn't manage this thing well

Will over heat our polity


That's all I have to say for now

Greedy people think they are very smart

But there fall is always very shameful

You want to control a sitting Governor
Very very funny indeed

Greed is not good at all

You want to control both PDP and APC

Honestly it's because the quality of our politics have gone to the dogs and fallen so low that we had such a character at the centre of Governance in Nigeria


But law operating on the Earth knows how to settle the scores and normalize everything

You may claim top dog today
But the law of diminishing returns will take its course

There's no King forever

Greed and pride are too Deadly sins

IbeOkehie:
I think I know this doctor. I think one of his brothers was a doctor too. From Nkwerre, my hometown. His son from the Oyibo woman I think still lives in Nigeria, works in radio or tv.

Am I right? Maybe not, but the story is similar...oh you said the sons stayed in Germany. Never mind.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

No this one was Anambra Man

His sons from the oyibo woman never returned

porka:
There is no underlying anything. That's the way blacks are wired.

That is the most convenient way to avoid life's responsibility.

Give him one million chances in life is will end up the same way.

Did you not read him saying that the RCCG people too got fed up?

He started a programme in Unilag in the 1980s, he abandoned it for a greener pasture (a security guard).

Many Africans or blacks do not live for any meaningful purpose in life.

They just live to 'enjoy' life without even knowing what enjoyment mean.

Oh, my friends are traveling abroad, let me leave my work and travel too.

Ahhhh, my friend's misfortune is not my portion...

Most blacks around the world hardly take a thought of anything before they commit their lives and resources into it.

Black people are not guided by sense and thorough analysis but impulse and emotions.

We never take a stock of what would happen if we took this or that decision. What can possibly go wrong?
What would I do if my permutations fall off the mark? How quickly can I make those adjustments? What resources do I have?
What is the exit strategy? What are the social networks to help me cushion the impact? How long could this adventure take?
What is even the essence of it?

It happens till this day.

Just imagine people not bothering about handing 4 years of their entire lives to useless politicians and making projections for another 4 years to be similarly wasted.

For blacks, time, purpose, legacy, responsibility and critical thinking are not high stakes.

A typical black person's life revolves around food, partying, human and object worship, debauchery, vain glory, wild hysteria and shifting responsibility to some gods.

The man was going to Japan for business (if true) but he couldn't care what might happen during business down time.

He was just satisfied with being the 'only successful' black man in the white dominated county.

Just one Italian or Indian would achieve the same feat and the whole place will be filled with Italians or Indians so that they have a social security system and buffer against hard time.

Not Africans. Not blacks. The black man doesn't understand such concept.

All the time he was sponsoring his nephew through school, his own child was going through hard times.

He doesn't even know where the other children are in America.

You spoke nothing but the truth

It's a very big general problem for the black man

They only live for the now
As long as they get basic things they are ok
No legacies, no plans for the future generations

Just take a good look at Nigeria


This man's story is a very big lesson for everyone of us

We should live for legacies
Live and ensure that the future generations are well built up and prepared for the future

Not just our families but other people we can influence positively

Honestly living selfishly is terrible



Example look at present British prime minister sunak who is of Indian origin

His parents are migrants originally from India, but first migrated to Africa in the 1960s before moving to the UK

He is well read and through family and Indian connections built a good career

Very wealthy today

He also married right the daughter of An Indian business tycoon billionare who owned info system a global IT Company

Very well planned and organized Life

Segzy19:
Sad sad story!

His brother, Williams Ibironke ruined him...

That's why sometimes it is risky to trust family members when you are abroad, especially when you are building or investing in some projects back home. They will want to take over that building, project or business, and not want you to return home to it... And if you are adamant to return, they attack you spiritually such that you run mad and forget about the project or never get yourself again... They Amy even kill you....

Again, another downside of japa to marry foreign ladies. Most of them won't hesitate to leave you in situations like this, as they don't understand stuffs like spiritual attacks from home. They will leave with your kids ...

I pray God helps this man. Otherwise, he may not even see his children again .. All efforts and years wasted

Sad story .

Life is Life...

Marrying oyibo or abroad women is very risky

A very big Doctor I knew as a kid in mid 1980s married a German woman and had 2 son's when he studied there

When he came back to Nigeria early 1990s the oyibo woman cut of from him

He came back and his people married another woman for him here
Had 3 children 2 boys and a girl here

What saved the Doctor was that he was the son of a very wealthy Igbo man in the 1960s

So on coming back
He as first son had majority of his now dead fathers assets

He later died in the 2005
His wife and Nigerian children now got hold of those his father's assets and sold some worth hundreds of millions today

But those his 2 sons in Germany by oyibo woman became big German Doctors

But they never related with there father

The Doctor died of stroke due to heart break from not relating with his 2 sons in Germany

Because the ones he had here in his firfties were just finishing secondary School when he died


People must be careful about abroad Japa cause it's not as we think
Honestly

Teckwizard56:
most Nigerians who travel abroad don't make it there

Only 10% of those who go make it

And those 10% are ones with legal papers

If you see how Nigerians are suffering abroad eh

You go mercy for them

onuman:
Wow. Words of a stronger warlord.

Wike never understood that his squabbles with Rotimi Amaechi has for the first time since 1999 consigned leadership of Rivers State to the non Igboid parts of Rivers State. The earlier Wike accepted that power has shifted in Rivers state, the better for him and his sponsors.

Exactly

Peter Odili
Rotimi Amechi
Wike
Were all from the igboid part of Rivers State
They ruled for 8 x 3 = 24years

Now the Riverine are testing power since 1999

Wike doesn't read and understand the room

The Riverine can fight and hold power possibly 16 years if not more

robosky02:
Nigerian journalist claims Osimhen is now greater than Victor Osimhen


Following the CAF Men's Player of the Year triumph over Mohammed Salah and Achraf Hakimi, a renowned Nigerian journalist claimed Victor Osimhen has surpassed JJ Okocha's legacy in Nigerian football.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ended Nigeria’s 24-year wait for a CAF Men’s Footballer of the Year Award, and this has prompted comparisons with other legends of the sport, more specifically Jay Jay Okocha, who, despite his tremendous efforts, never received the award.

Osimhen’s triumph
The APOTY gong rewarded an incredible year for the striker, which not many, if any, players from the country had ever attained.


As cannot be overemphasised, he led Napoli to their first scudetto triumph since Maradona called Naples home, doing it similarly to D10S by scoring the most goals in the league.

Osimhen picked up the Capoocanoniere alongside the league title in a season where he became the highest-scoring African in the entirety of Serie A’s history, and this, in tandem with being named the best player in the continent by CAF, has earned him high praise from a renowned Nigerian journalist.

.

Respected sports journalist Steve Dede, elated by Osimhen’s achievements, stated boldly that the striker had moved past the revered Okocha on the rankings of the greatest-ever players to have donned several shades of green for the Super Eagles.

“Victor Osimhen just moved past Okocha in the ranking of the greatest-ever Nigerian players,” Steve said on X.

Pressed further by Pulse Sports’ Senior Editor Solace Chukwu, who, on his list of the top ten greatest Nigerian footballers of all time, named Jay Jay at 10th, Steve Dede submitted that he was substituting Okocha on said ranking, with Osimhen making an entry at 10th.

Story even kanu nwankwo with all he has won isn't bigger than Austin Okocha

Talkless of Osimehn

gabbasin:
Something is really wrong with our system, how can a minister acting on behalf of the country enter into a contract of this humongous amount with an entity, without the authority of the President and the contract will be binding on Nigeria. There's lapses in governance in Nigeria

It's the greedy Company that took Nigeria to arbitration tribunal

They will fail just like the PID one that failed

The former minister should be thoroughly questioned

[url][/url]

Islie:
https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-obasanjo-offers-to-testify-against-agunloye-in-2-3bn-mambilla-arbitration/amp

How this guy awarded contract without executive directive is very incriminating

Obj administration never awarded any contract that huge

Really surprising

Baatunde:
Sorry bro I cant help you if you are unable to see this for the grandstanding that it is. He even wore Hausa outfit which is not his regular outfit. Bro, there are so many disasters and misfortunes in the country at the moment and he chose the one that pitches him as loving and empathising with the people of the North whose vote he has now just realised he cant do without.

If he realized that Northern vote is very important

What is then wrong in empathizing with those that lost there lives through mistakes by those in authority?

He is doing the right thing

Throughout Buharis tenure many people lost there lives
There were two reckless bombing of innocent civilians losing there lives

Yet Buhari didn't go to any of them

This Tinubu regime
Another reckless bombing happened

The president of the Nation didn't even send representative
He rather said that it was God's will for the loss


Peter Obi is in the opposition

So if he showing those in authority the right way to attend to unfortunate misfortune is making you write this

Then my friend you have a very very big problem


And one day all these senseless leaders that have no empathy or feeling for the people they are leading. God will disgrace them

And the ordinary Man elect sensible leaders

It will be better for this Nation

And by the way
The disgrace of all these senseless leaders will happen in not too distant future

As long as there is God in heaven

Then let me see what your likes who don't want good and examplary leadership will then do

Baatunde:
This occultic man just want to stay relevant! Now they have told him that Nzogbu Nzogbu alone does not win elections and he realizes the important of building bridges rather than pushing religious divisionary tactics. Daddy's boy . See the rate he was frequenting all those churches when election was approaching, now he is nowhere to be found until the next election comes around again. Anyways he can only continue to deceive his sheepish followers with his pretense, no sensible person is fooled by his antics of acting like he really cares..... Minister of Commiserations and Felicitations

Wao so visiting those that were unfortunate to be bombed is pretense?

Your reasoning is very wonderful

No wonder you guys get the kind of leaders you deserve indeed

OLAADEGBU:
[color=orange]SaharaReporters[/color]

"Had Buhari—or, for that matter, any northern Muslim been president when the Tudun Biri Maulud merry makers were involuntarily killed by the military, there would have been no expression of indignation from most of the people who are hyperventilating now."

Irony is that Buhari really desecrated everything
He has set the precedence

Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot do half of what Buhari did
So Northerners should just keep quiet

Aonkuuse:
So if I have a home nah only December I will go home?? At the expense of financial stress?

Explaining it to you
You won't understand

Every Igbo person right from childhood
Has been ingrained with going home for Christmas

It's the greatest fun there

People from all over the world come home
It's a cultural thing

My friend was telling me he was begging his Younger sister and her Dr husband in Canada not to come home for Christmas

They are from IMO state
And that place is hot now

But still she and her husband said Lai Lai
They must come with there children

So it is a Life Long cultural practice

Eiyah

I remember Aisha very well for NTA over 25 years ago

I remember her, Cyril Stober, Euginia Abu, Ruth Opia and reporter Abike Dabiri(who later turned into something else when she started hobnobbing with politicians)


May Aisha's soul rest in peace 🙏

LegendHero:
I love this. This is the delusion that we need.

The delusion that Tinubu can’t win any state. I am sure by next election, una social media noise maker will still be dancing online claiming he won’t win one polling unit while on Election Day Jagaban continue to win.

We saw how una cancel Xperience pastor Paul crusade online only for the place to be full to the brim on actual day.

Actually no one can cancel Xperience in Nigeria

This was the 18th edition
Moreover Xperience is the best music concert in Nigeria

The world class, first class quality of equipment and music of Xperience is matchable

Even Burnaboy or Wizkid with there level no fit match the Xperience level of World class quality music

So nobody can cancel Xperience

It is now part of December culture for Christians in Nigeria just like Shiloh

TonyeBarcanista:
Is President Bola Tinubu a political deity? Why do some believe that he is unbeatable in 2027?

Why are you talking about 2027 when he was just sworn in May 29 this year?

He hasn't even done up to a year and you are talking about next election

Na wa for all una politicians self

Allow the Man to work First

It's joblessness or not being busy that causes this

Nigeria is burning Economically
Many of our people don't know the means of what to eat this Christmas

But your worry is 2027 Election


My take:

If Tinubu repositions the Economy and gets it right

He will have no competition in 2027

Repositioning of Nigeria's economy will be the score card to judge him next election

Great100000:
Ha!!! My brother takes it easy on, Years & Decades bawo E tey now.

The problem with my club (Chelsea) is from the owners, signing inexperienced players up and down and saying you want to build for the future, even if you want to do that, you need to have some experienced established players in the squad and leaders, look at our squad, which one can we call a leader? Except for Thiago Silva, others are not even close.

During the true Chelsea era, Chelsea had Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, and Cech, these were the leaders in the squad.

Also, Pochettino is too soft for my liking as a Coach, the way is him, he is a good person but a bad coach, he is too soft, same thing every day, what he says in the press Conference will even annoy you, Chelsea needs discipline and experience Coach, not this Pochettino type

It is not even pochetino


The major problem are Chelsea owners

They wasted over a billion pounds on that team

Does this Chelsea team look like a team worth such money?

The Americans are absolutely clueless

They don't know what football is about
They have no clue at all

They are totally vision less

Whether we blues fans like it or not

Chelsea are presently a lower table league team simple

The damage is already done


You are talking of coach

They had a champions league winning coach
What did they do?

Went and fired Thomas Tuchel

Fired Mariana

Fired Cech

Fired all 2021 champions league winning team

These were the structures that had ensured the success Chelsea were enjoying

The Americans were hopelessly clueless

And yes it will take Chelsea years if not decades to wake up

The winning structures/template Roman built over a decade ago

These Americans wasted away under two years


This Chelsea story is a good case study for business school on how to run a successful franchise and how to mess it up

High time we blues fans know where our club is presently and become sober

Because no miracle will change this

lakeside30:
Same thing with United

Exactly

Man utd are same boat with Chelsea

United's problem was the shoes of Sir Alex Ferguson is unfit to Wear

Like Chelsea were molded by Romans vision

United were molded on Sir Alex Ferguson

So same problem
It will take years if not decades


Man City will have same problem by the time Pep Guardiola leaves because the team is built on Peps vision

Chelsea's problems:

Roman Abrahamovic had a grand vision for Chelsea and he achieved these visions under 15 years

2 champions league
2 Europa cups
5 premier leagues
4 fa cups
1 world club cup
1 UEFA super cup

Roman was an extraordinary Man

Till the Ukraine debacle
He sold off Chelsea to these clueless American owners

No vision

All there problems lay on sacking Mariana, Petr Cech, Thomas Tuchel, almost all the 2021 champions league winning squad


Chelsea presently is a lower table league whether we like it or not

Like lower table league team
Whenever pochetino time erupts

They should get a mid table kind manager to first of all build up the team for a couple of years


But presently Chelsea isn't it one bit

By the way I am a die hard blues fan

Artiiclebeast:
Let's hope he will bring his corporate boardroom/executive role experience onboard as a governor to reposition the state for greatness.

How he is going to marry this with the murky shitty waters of the Nigerian style of politics is something I can't wait to find out.

In all, I pray he wins and succeeds and I am able to key into his administration to fulfill my dream for investment in the state.

He will be good for Edo state

Kudos to Gov Obaseki

opamoses1:
The above quotes are from news report of P&G changing their business model and closing down their manufacturing factories in Nigeria.


Those importers are destroying the economy with their cheap commodies from China. P&G and Glaxo are also moving to an import based model to faily compete. I guess they will also import their products maybe from their India factories to be sold in Nigeria.

The government should have increased taxation on those importing all sorts into Nigeria.

👇

Actually

If FG increase taxation or even ban importation like Buhari did previously

Cost of the product will be higher for the consumers because demand will be more than supply

The key factor is that APC due to poor Economic policies since 2015 have reduced the purchasing power of ordinary Nigerians

The Government should find solution to the Economic situation they created

The truth also is that if they don't find solution
Present dire Economic problems will continue getting worse till next election

Then Nigerians will have no other choice
Of voting out APC

So FG have a very big problem before them till 2027

Time is ticking

tsdarkside:
they only come to nigeria for the dollars....

nothing else....
when we tell una this foreighn companies are doing nigeria no good,una will not listen....

They won't make profit for there business again?

Do they look like father Christmas to you?

Once there is volatility in foreign exchange market in a country
it affects foreign investors with Companies operating in the affected country

Argentina and Nigeria are the affected countries

Fiscus105:
Bold my comment where I wrote a partner should guide the marriage jealously.


Perhaps u are a graduate,if you are, how u passed out surprise me.


I won't be surprised if u re having issues in ur relationship, ..........gragra and coconut head would surely bring toxic into relationship

the two actors still need to guide the Marriage jealously if they want it to succeed.

......and what did I mean by guiding it jealously?


You made this statement to the guy you replied

Na you wey no go school self when you can't even remember your own statement again

Fiscus105:
Yes but on many occasions you can also know at least, 75% what might come out, if you don't go by way *physical body* but the quality the partners possess that can make the Marriage work. Meanwhile, having got the prerequisites, the two actors still need to guide the Marriage jealously if they want it to succeed.

......and what did I mean by guiding it jealously?

The two of you should endeavour to refrain from what you know can hurt ur partner toooo deep, not that alone,you should also learn how to reach compromise.( I reject some and accept some of my partner's characters)

And where it is only one partner that will guide the union jealously then what happens?


Most times people talk things based on just what they think not what they have experienced

Like the guy you quoted stated
A woman can hide her real personality, till she enters marriage

That's what many Men go through

Although from personal findings
Rugged Men are less likely to see this
Because if woman dey craze a rugged Man dey craze pass am

So she better behave herself or she go collect well well

CHoccolaTE:
You think men give women peace? You really believe women fare better in marriages than men?
If you do then no wahala. I don't even have any interest in arguing.
Enjoy.

The issue is from your reply
It shows You don't even understand the whole drift

Successful marriages I see around one important factor you find out is that the women give there Men peace

At least I have successful marriages I have observed of people close to me

It's still same scenario

I have three sisters married my parents first daughter has been married for 16 years
And very successful marriage
Likewise the other ones

The key thing I observed is that she gives her husband complete peace of mind

The husband trusts her because of this

Some couple of years ago when they Developed one of there properties in lekki Lagos

She handled everything about the project from beginning to end
Was just answerable to her husband
He trusted her to release huge funds, allow her control everything

But she must give account for all her spendings


It's only a woman that gives a man peace of mind the man can trust to that level

In fact sensible women know that men are not difficult like that

It's the stubborn, troublesome ones that experience the Lion nature of a Man

Because average Man out there has a Lion nature if you dare the Man

CHoccolaTE:
This topic has to be a joke.
Both the original post and the comments from other males.

I don't know how you clowns have succeeded in convincing yourselves that you are victims of females.
Females are the greater recipients of domestic violence, absentee partners in marriage, infidelity in relationships, females give up their names and identities to get married, the kids they spend their whole lives raising are not even theirs; because children belong to their fathers side of the family, women are under greater pressure to tolerate bad marriages because of stigma of divorce so they stay and put up with all sorts of rubbish from their husbands.
Women are the worst sufferers of bad inlaws.
Many men don't even provide shit. They do the barest minimum and have their wives substitute for the rest and then they still don't appreciate her for it.
But somehow, males have convinced themselves that they are the victims and marriage favors women.

Let me leave this thread for you deluded creatures. Please enjoy your delusions.

Why do most Men complain?

What Men want self is simple: peace of mind

Many women nowadays can't give that

When even the Bible warned about being with a troublesome/ quarellsome woman


Showing the same thing
Men just want peace of mind and good marriages you see around have that combination of a woman offering her Man peace of mind

Great6Pack:
Honestly I wish I am in your shoes. The simple truth no one will tell you today is that marriage is not for everyone.

You can have your peace of mind by having your desired number of kids with one or 2 baby mamas and strictly take care of your kids needs.

If they like, they can become your friends with benefits but never commit your heart to a woman especially those ones in Nigeria of today.

Talking is a man with 10 years of marriage. If I had known what I know now 10 years ago, this would have been my sincere action.

Suit yourself though because it's never a one size fits all kind of life

Discussing with some guys
I discovered that one of the biggest dis service done to men is:

The pressure to get married

This have put many men to lifetime regrets


My advice to Men

Never fall under the pressure to get married
This pressure makes Men overlook red flags and end up marrying nonsense

If you are single
Be comfortable in your state

Even if you want to Marry
Then you will use clear eye

Vet everything about the Lady In question
Like the way you vet investments


Just be comfortable in your state as a Man
That way you will be stronger and better

AlphaHakimi:
Here is my sincere advice to you.

1) When you see a woman, treat whatever relationship you have with her as transactional.

2) Make sure any woman you decide to date invest something tangible in your life. I don't mean sex, let her invest her money, skills and time in your life.

You see, women are loyal to their emotions. A woman does not really care about what you have done for her in the past, if you cannot help her presently, you are useless to her. This is why I said she has to invest in you and openly ask her for it the same way they ask you for money for wig, shoes and cloth. A woman is only loyal to her sacrifice. Once she knows she has sacrificed something that is not easy to come by e.g Money, she will be loyal to you.

Here is how you do it, if you have a car and you want to go for maintenance and you know it will cost you like 15k, openly tell her that your car is due for maintenance and that she should give you 15k for it (Not borrow).

So whenever she collects money from you, collect an equal amount of money from her. This is transactional relationship. So that the day she decides to leave, she will remember all that she has invested in you and that will keep her.

Don't crave for love, it will find you and when it does make sure you are getting as much as you are giving.

Shalom

Op I recommend this strategy


Women won't leave where they invested heavily

ANSMEDIA:
Innoson has proved that you can succeed in business staying in Southeast

Exactly

All his business Life has been in the East

For him to make it in the East shows it is being done

Other reasons people give are just excuses

constant1960:
No be small fake doctor oo
After all the problem for Nigeria na South East be him problem

You can imagine

Actually South East news drives there traffic

That's the only reason for this obsession
