Same issue that was the bone of contention on
Channels @SunriseMorning very early today. I must confess this is the most unbiased account I have read so far on the suspended Rivers election.
That the CSO to Governor Wike initiated the violence is not in doubt. In fact one of the guests on the program on Channels tv said the CSO fired a gun while results were being announced an accusation that wasn't debunked by the Rivers state Commissioner for Information.
It is even alleged the Rivers REC, MR OBO EFFANGA is of PDP

“It is true that this is the only election in Rivers that saw the least of violence, as no single live was lost or property as was rampant during previous polls,” he added. Johnbull called on INEC to promptly conclude the collation process of the by-election and release the final result

ON AUGUST 22,

Port Harcourt – The Democratic Alternative (DA) and Masses Movement of Nigeria (MMN), that participated in the Aug. 18 Port Harcourt Constituency 3 by-election, have described the suspension of the election as unnecessary and unlawful.

Mr Obrasua Johnbull, Chairman of DA in Rivers, stated this at a joint news conference in Port Harcourt on Wednesday by the two political parties. Johnbull said that the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) reliance on electoral violence to suspend the by-election at collation stage was against the provisions of Electoral Act 2010 as amended. He stated that despite the minimal delay in the election process, voting was concluded and results announced in most of the 142 polling units in the constituency. ]“Yes, there were some pockets of disruptions allegedly occasioned by Mr Promise Nwosu, Chief Security Officer to Gov. Nyesom Wike and his thugs,[/b]but they were successfully repelled by security agents. “As stakeholders in the process, our party agents confirmed at various times between 2p.m and 6p.m that collation of results declared in several units was in progress,” he alleged. [b]According to Johnbull, at about 6:20p.m INEC officials directed that collation would be continued at the state head office with the security agents. “Surprisingly, party agents were later informed of suspension of the collation while everyone else woke up to the shocking news hinged on electoral violence. “This is a white lie that must not stand, it is unacceptable, and a disgrace to our democracy; we call on INEC to immediately make public the collated units results. “We shall no longer fold our hands and see corrupt people steal the power and votes of the electorate, as this is the drama unfolding in the wake of Port Harcourt Constituency 3 by-election,” he claimed. The DA chairman in Rivers urged the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Obo Effanga not to be associated with and deception to rob the winner of the Aug. 18 by-election. “We align with the statement made by the Rivers Commissioner of Police two days ago in which he attested to the fact that the pockets of violence were successfully quelled. “It is true that this is the only election in Rivers that saw the least of violence, as no single live was lost or property as was rampant during previous polls,” he added. Johnbull called on INEC to promptly conclude the collation process of the by-election and release the final result to avert possible self-help by affected stakeholders and civil society mass action.(NAN)

But who doesn't have contrasting views about another person. Children do of their parents, slaves of their masters, spouses of each other.

Mugu when compared to Q1 2018, FDI has fallen.

Whats the point of all these? To prove that buhari is better at attracting foreign investments?

I just proved to you that thats not true. GEJ had done the best job at attracting FDI.

Now take your zombie rant elsewhere.

I ask to know your tribe from the outset. I can smell you from afar. What comes out from you akpu filled brain often show your level of 'itiism'. Its good your group is in the minority

naijapips04:
Igbokwe FDI is always rising or falling against a certain point of reference. Since 2017 FDI has risen and fallen. The chart i posted didn't show a linear rise in FDI as you are making us believe. Infact we had a better FDI last year than we are doing this year.

Now that you have climbed down from your high horse, your comments become more meaningful. 2018 still running...

naijapips04:
Take my tribe out of this. Read the damn chart.

Don't be ashamed of your tribe. I know it already and it buttresses my feeling why it is difficult for you to understand what I posted.
Your previous posts shows that you are fastidious with this believe that increases in FDI started and ended with Jona the drunk. Otherwise, I don't see why you can't understand that your chart and the article I quoted are on same page. That FDI peaked in 2012 does not prevent it from rising in 2017 after reaching its lowest level in 2015. And it is still rising.

naijapips04:
Thats not true.

Check the chart below, what continuous upward trend are you yapping about?

Will I be in error to say you are Ibo?

Firefire:
How can you say am a PDP supporter? So anyone opposing the terrorist organization called APC is automatically a PDP member? Illogical.

On the point, the useless party called APC campaigned vigorously on restructuring. What has changed? Power too sweet right?

APC, Party of professional liars and career rogues.

APC = PDP, nothing like Progressive...

Fire are you the one saying this. You are not PDP? You are my friend with a slight modification - despise for PDP members who worked against GEJ

kitaatita:
Tell them that we do not want portfolio investors anymore. They come here to trade due to the high returns in the Nigerian market. At the slightest distress, they withdraw their so called investment and move to another country with weak laws

Very important observation.

naijapips04:
Did you read the link you posted at all?
FDI was lowest in this evil administration and higest during GEJs tenure. Go and check the trend before praising mediocrity.

Purge your brain of bigotry my friend. "Foreign direct investment has continued its upward rise from 2017"

But children were a strong part of the Katsina North...
They were not involved in the actual voting as they were not qualified...
Two contradictory statements in the opening paragraph. Hope Premium times has not starrted taking her readers for granted. Well its good the children's presence had no undue influence on, the election
Waiting for their take on the Rivers election.

Can you please keep your gbosa to yourself until you show us Shagari’s mansion in 1983 that prompted Buhari’s coup?
Can you do that

You weren't born then and you are asking kid's question now. I am done with raising kids.

A staunch Muslim inaugurating a brewery?! I doubt if he will show up

He has a very capable Vice if your worry turns out to be true.
That we have banished recession behind us is no longer in doubt.

ISamuel Awoyinfa, Abeokuta

President Muhammadu Buhari will lead other eminent Nigerians to inaugurate a $250m brewery owned by International Breweries Plc next week Tuesday.

The Plant Manager, Mr. Tony Agah, disclosed this on Monday to journalists during a media tour of the brewery located at Km 3 Flowergate Industrial Scheme, Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway, Ogun State.

He said the IB Plc is part of the AB InBev Group, the world’s largest brewer.
Agah said other eminent Nigerians expected at the event include Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment Okechukwu Enelamah; and the global chief executive officer of AB InBev, Mr. Carlos Brito, among others.

The new brewery is the fourth plant to be established in the country, as the IB Plc has three others in Ilesa, Onitsha and Port Harcourt.

While Agah explained that the new plant is one of the Foreign Direct Investments which came into the country in the last two years, he added that the first phase of the development of the plant had been completed with over 300 Nigerians already employed.

He said many more indirect employment would also be created in due course.
He said, “Given the importance of this event, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, is expected to perform the inauguration of the facility.

“The governor of the state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, will be hosting all of us, as our landlord. Other eminent Nigerians and officials of AB InBev, especially the global CEO, Mr. Carlos Brito, will lead the celebration.

“The new brewery will be the company’s largest plant within the group in Africa outside the one in South Africa. This will have a significant multiplier effects on the value chain within Ogun State and its environs.
“It will provide direct and indirect employment, make available global brands locally and support Nigeria’s foreign direct investment aspiration.”


The Managing Director, IB Plc, Annabelle Degroot, speaking about the inauguration, described the plant as a major step towards the company’s strategic goal of producing high-quality drinks locally.

He said, “International Breweries Plc is a brand that places a premium on quality. Bearing this in mind, we will spare no expense or effort in ensuring that Nigerians are treated to the best traditions in brewing, with outstanding recipes, superior ingredients, innovation and world-class techniques.”

If Buhari steps down for Osinabanjo today I will vote APC

Who needs your vote, PMB is stepping forward to 2023

A man loved by his people hides not. Na his peipls de rush am. Just coming from Saraki s thread. He cuts the figure of a lone soldier in a battlefield.
PMB's was a pilgrimage on its own.

Where are the Sarakis, Kwankwansos, Dankwabos, Tambuwas, Atikus, Markafis?. They are good Moslems in their own right. So where are they on this important occasion?

BTW if they love him as they claim the security should no cage the crowd and see how far.

You reason childishly. As a President not every directive you give to your security detail will be obeyed. The reverse is the case most times. Simply put,even if he wishes to be left alone with the crowd, it won't sail.

Its Political to arrest the Commissioner and leave the Governor who he Reported to..

It's either the Governor is Questioned alone or the Governor and the Commissioner are Questioned together ...
Let's stand for the Right thing at all times.. We are the checks for the government... if we don't speak impunity will continue

Crime is personal. The senator is of age so can't lay claim to any excise for committing the crime. His business is with the law not with us. Whoever that gets implicated must also face the law.

If there is one thing I hate about Buhari, its him trying to be fair to this children of hate..

Calm down. That is what d newspaper reported so he's right to ask why. Check his antecedents as well and you'll see he's no afonja. Furthermore, if you've been abreast with d news, you'd have seen that there's been a rash of robberies, attacks and killings of Igbos particularly d reasonably wealthy traders and others in Calabar so that's why they needed to relocate cos obviously they were being targeted.

Hmmmm, Nwanem, Nkem! Because of you I've forgiven him. He doesn't know I am more Igbo than him.
