Shawn Michael frustrated this man in one of their do or die wrestling.

Kdon2:
Peter obi is the problem wherever he goes. He is not a leader, he is a follower trying to be a leader. He knows nothing about leading any sane society that's why there is chaos wherever you make him a leader or co-leader. Besides there is no ojukwu or atiku to back him. Man is an absolute failure. Fvcked Anambra state up from 2007-2014.

Olodo uprising! Bereft of common sense

The draw shock 😲 me. O one could have seen that coming not even the Almighty AI could predict that outcome because the odds of straight win for Spain was the highest so far. Congratulations to cape Verdes. I sincerely hope they go far in the tournament

All these listed rubbish are all inconsequential if the price of fuel is out of reach to the common man, today, we are still struggling with rising cost of domestic cooking gas and epileptic power supply
In fact this administration is 0/100

Na all kind nonsense talk they pain me about this problem of insecurity. Any man or woman caught with any weapon 🔪🔫 and can not give a clear information of what they are doing with those stuffs should be wasted immediately. Since the increase in this national malady, where have we read that bandits/kidnappers were prosecuted? All we read is they were released and reintegrated back to the society after repentance.

What stops the national assembly members from moving a motion to make kidnapping and banditry carry a hefty capital punishment like firing squad and public executions. They should include law mandating the relevant authority to follow up every kidnapping cases in the country to a logical conclusion, every ransom paid, every means through which kidnappers make contact must be traced, the telecom must also take responsibility in ensuring that they willing share GPS coordinates when requested as it relates to where distress calls are made from.
In fact any suggestions on how to end this ugly incident once and for all is a welcome development. This is a call to action and not by prayer alone.

These calls and suggestions should have dominated a major deliberation on the floor of the plenary as it involve little children for God's sake! instead what the useless members where dwelling on was on decamping frivolities.

FSBoperator:
Rest.

Tinubu will not only win Rivers but he will do so in a landslide and he will win the entire SS.

Nobody is dragging SE with your Giringori, so why do you think SS will vote either Atiku or your Giringori ?

🤡
Keep lying to yourself to make yourself happy. Only a fool who is detached from reality will spew such nonsense.

Tinubu and APC would chop the heaviest PROTEST vote from RIVERS state and wike won't be able to save him from such humiliation, I don't know about other state in South-South.

So this thief has finally realized the implications of the impending litigation against Chinda! Rivers state APC is in double jeopardy, first there is litigation against Chinda nomination against the amended electoral act. Secondly, the authentic APC chairman of Rivers state Emeka Beke would be sworn in based on appeal court ruling invalidating Tony Okocha leadership, by implications, APC won't have any candidates in 2027 election.

Now, Nebu is looking at LP and AA. He who claimed to be god will surely eat the humble pie like Nebuchadnezzar

Everything I bought from temu is either useless, worn out or torn out in less than 6 months. They need to tighten their market against sales of substandard products

Them never start, the implosion is about to begin. Delta heavy weight Omo-Agege has been ranting since after being rigged, lol

He was such a very rare gem to us the civil servants, he approved our promotion once earlier this month. For 8 years of wike disastrous administration, we suffered extreme hardship. Unfortunately I am forced to align with you OP. The man who so much endeared to the youths and civil service work force is nothing but a coward. If he couldn't fight for himself what about for his followers who genuinely and organically love him😭. He should never have made us fall in love with him. We all knew what was going to happen but will chose to have a little hope that he would triumph at the end.
Fubara, you were a good man who mean well for Rivers state after Chibuike Amaechi, but the biggest coward ever who wasted executive power.
As for Tinubu, he should never ever imagine any sane human from Rivers state will vote him or his party to power. The few members left of wike's structure can't defeat the growing army of angry Rivers people

fergie001:
Na now you know?

He should be dealt with for wasting our time. EFCC should arrest him immediately after.

Such coming from a respected name like yours is suspicious, could you expatiate on what you meant by "EFCC should arrest him immediately after"?

Join NDC and fight for the soul of emancipating Rivers state from oligomegalomaniac kleptocrats

Both of them are just too loud-mouthed to be taken serious, however I will go with Carter Efe for defeating that Juju-beliving 🤡 who dared to compare himself to Michael Jackson

I don't blame the passengers, if it were me, I won't even contemplate boarding same bus with a Fulani man, who knows, he could be an undercover bandit that would give out details of where they would be intercepted on the highway

Maybe na content. If not that man for take time pipe her brotally before dispensing her out to the street. Guy no try at all

Yazmin:
OP, let me help you with small writing and information skills...perhaps, you might appreciate same.

In the entire bulky write up, you couldn't even spare a word or two to let readers know where on Jupiter's map Kubong-Bette is located, in this world or better still in Nigeira.

You missed out a very critical Inormation of her being one of the young few female Nigerians who ran for a recently organised Local Government election in her state and stood dogged, despite slugging it out in a male dominated environment....just a line and a half of this info would have done justice.

You would have just chipped in a sentence on her current portfolio (or career position/achievements), with a flash of her aspirations....( I bet you, the rice can't be entirely for free). This is Naija and its either a thank you for the past or a stimulant for the near future ambition, which without doubt, she is in all ramifications, doing the right thing, without saying. Something like: Dr. Agba who has considerable experience in developmental finance, was a strong pillar in the advocacy which led to the actualization of the 'not to young to run' act ,was also a one time leader in the Progressive young women wing of the ruling APC...bla bla bla....this kind thing dey make reading sweeter rather than just repeating words.

There might not be another near opportunity to post her on this great platform ,so use this one shot very judiciously.

Lastly OP, your heading or subject with the word RICE in it made the psychology of the reader be judgemntal rather than inquisitive from the word Go...

Stop this rice subject, just name it 'Carried out philanthropic interventions'.....then you can mention rice in the body of the story.

I rate you 2/10 ,honestly....you may rate me same or less in my response too.

Best wishes Dr. Agba🙏.

No sugar nor saccharine, your response was very apt. 10/10.
Op take a cue and learn from this response

Portable radio

Well, this wasn't always in the parlour, but it was there during certain specific times.

My dad had a portable radio that he kept in his room and took to work. The radio could be plugged in and powered by public electricity or it could be battery powered.

This radio had MW, SW and LW bands, but no FM band.

There are names of certain politicians that bring flashback to me because I remember eating breakfast at the same time as my dad (on a weekday) as we both prepared to leave home and start our day and listening to the Radio Nigeria 7am Network News and hearing names like, "The Anambra State governor, Mr Jim Nwobodo" or Melford Okilo, or Solomon Lar and all those other names.

Sometimes when we are watching a football match and the tension is too much, my dad would tell us to come and call him if they score. Then he would go to his room. I would go to call him when they score, only to discover that he's listening to commentaries on Radio Nigeria with this radio.

But this radio is relevant on this thread for a reason. Electricity supply was more stable back then. Nigeria's population was less and so was the demand for electricity. We had power cuts, but they would usually restore power within an hour or two. You could go an entire day or two without any power cuts.

In fact, someone once gave us an electricity generator as a present, but my dad gave it to someone else so he could use it in his village house. He said that we didn't need an electricity generator.

Back then, when there was a power cut, we would search the telephone directory for NEPA's number and call them. We would get NEPA Awolowo Road and they would direct us to NEPA Berkley. We would call NEPA Berkley and cry that we couldn't do our homework because there was a power cut. They would promise to restore power in 15 minutes or 30 minutes and sure enough, the power would be back by that time.

But sometimes things were different. There were times that it seemed like there was no power throughout the whole day. My dad would bring out this radio, put batteries in it and put it in the parlour. That's why there are song that I call "Radio Nigeria songs". These are songs that I listened to late at night on Radio Nigeria when there was no power.

Sure enough they would usually announce on the 10pm Network News that there was a fault somewhere and they would usually tell us when the fault would be repaired or how long the blackout would last. Power would usually be restored at that time.

It was similar with water. Water almost always came out of the taps back then and local government councils placed public taps on street corners. There would usually be an announcement on the radio whenever there was going to be an outage. They would tell you that they wanted to fix this or that pipeline or that there was a problem at Iju Waterworks and so there would be no water from this day till that day.

I had an aunt that lived at Glover Road in Ikoyi and Glover Road had its own separate mini waterworks and they always had water, so we would put jerrycans in the car and go to fetch water from my aunt's house. Their water was different from the regular tap water (I think it had a little too much chlorine).

I remember once when I fell ill and I had to receive this terrible injection every day for a week and this coincided with a water outage. I and the driver would go to the clinic on Gerard Road and they would give me this very painful injection, then I would go to my aunt's house to fetch water.

Sometimes we had to carry jerrycans and buckets and walk all the way to the army or police barracks to fetch water.

This is not the exact type of radio, but it looks very similar to this.

What a nostalgia! You are making me cry 😭 over my childhood memory. Back then, we were based in a place called Iyana-Oworo schooling at Saint-gregory while my Dad works at Onikan...how has Nigerian retrogressed! Every description so far was like walking down my memory lane

helinues:
ADC are yet to have congress which Apc and Pdp did already even though the Pdp's own could have issue, the overnight opposition are even yet to have congress not to talk of party primary but they are already in disarray.

Election is just a year but the congregation of Failures want to be blaming president Tinubu for their predicaments

Such a pathetic irredeemable 🤡

Just recalled the unfortunate air mishap that took the lives of everyone onboard in 1991, involving Nigerian Airwayz

Good job African Giants. I think successive Rivers governor should take a cue from Lagos state on what state wide development entails.

Infrastructure allocation should be evenly distributed across the 23 LGA of Rivers state rather than concentrating on the already congested PH city and ObioAkpor.

Andoni LGA, community like Oyorokoto that is in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean can become the next Lekki-Ajah of Rivers state if not for inept leadership of successive government, only if the community can attract similar large scale investment like FTZ, deepsea port. The community is a very beautiful place to be if not for activities of who-goes-you boys. Other notable communities that can displace Lagos are the island of Bonny in Bonny LGA, Bakana in Degema LGA. Rivers state is so blessed with abundance of untap investment potential but WIKED politicians are the bane holding the state down

Nothing will happen if same is repeated in Nigeria. Some of them are big time scammers here in PortHarcourt.

I recalled Elrufai's controversial religious bill in Kadunna and how one fake pastor predicted the death of the then governor if he failed to rescind his decisions after 14 days. The 14 days passed, the rest is a history....the fake churches today are doing more harm than good. They all need to be regulated

franchasng:
Anybody praising Tinubu is either being intentionally wicked, forgetful or just pretending.


Just as you said, many years ago, Nigerians prayed for a government job or any good job after university to live a good life.

Like you pointed out, government secondary and primary school teachers were able to build decent houses (bungalows), bought cars or motorbikes, trained their children in school comfortably. Same applies to civil servants from grade level 8 and above.
My father was a civil servant, when he built his house, a very large bungalow with plenty rooms and owned a motorcycle, I don't think his level was close to level 6.


But today, tell me if any civil servant that is not in a position where gets kickbacks or involve in office corruption can comfortably build a bungalow under Tinubu's regime?


In fact, under Tinubu's regime, government secondary and primary school teachers, civil servants that are below grade level 15 cannot build a bungalow till they retire. They cannot even afford a decent Tokunbo car unless they took loans or get help from family members and friends living abroad or earning higher.


That is the most honorable way to measure a good government and the only way to compare Tinubu's calamitous regime with the past regimes

God bless you for saying the truth. When i was in level 08 under GEJ administration, N1k worth of fuel could last me to and fro work for 3 days. I literally lived a comfortable live. I could pay my younger siblings university school fees which were less than 20k then. I even built 2 unit of self-contained apartments in less than a year(then cement was about N1,200, a bundle of zinc was less than N3k). Any administration that can't improve on the socioeconomic conditions of the citizens doesn't deserve to be in power either.

It is outright falsehood and deliberate mischief for anyone to claim that Nigeria is getting better. Today, I am in level 13 and can't do anything with my total home pay because of high cost of basic necessities of lives involving kids and aged parents

It shall never be well with anyone who says that Tinubu administration is doing fine. How can Nigerian of past decades be filled with good memories compared to the present.
Imagine then a level 08 graduate living a comfortable live 15 years ago while cruising with a good ride. Same man in level 13 is broke because the naira under the useless APC administration is useless despite the increase salary earning, we are more poorer.

Then 1USD=N150,
minimum wage was N7,500 (50USD). Today, 1USD ~N1500, minimum wage=70,000(~46USD). If any of you don't understand this simple maths and how bad Nigeria naira has gotten them may lives get worst than the naira.

Since December, national grid keep on collapsing, as of January till now, we have not seen light. Never have we experienced this gross level of incompetence.

Lol! You guys have not learned anything, expect the M.O.A.B soon

Nebuchadnezzar who sees himself as god was humbled to eat grass like a wild animal.
This corrupt politician is part of the problems in Nigeria.

I don't know what the Nebuchadnezzar of Rivers state plan for O.K Chinda bcs his little brat is surely taking over from Chinda next year except God humble him like he treated Nebuchadnezzar
