Niyraz:
I'm sorry for this! Pls assist me with N1000. It's like a million Naira for me right now. God bless you as you save a soul.

Hi Isah, I know you prayed for N1000...but God has much more for you and I have sent you a little token for you as well.
Let me then admonish you with these words from Scriptures in Ecclesiastes 9:10
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might; for there is no work or device, no knowledge nor wisdom, in the grave"
In otherwords, try find something to do, no matter how little, bo matter how lowly, no matter how undignifying in the sight of men ( as long as it is legal), just make sure your mind is not idle and your hands are not idle...and leave the rest to God...
Nigeria might be a difficult place to be in today but things will definitely change when we find our rhythm and trust God to see us through these dark times ...one step at a time...blessings 🙏

True. If Fubara is wise he would use the period to mend fences with Wike

Fubara is very wise, matter-of-facta wiser than Wike...but to ",go mend fences with Wike" will be a futile effort...he tried it before after BAT mediated the first time, but it didn't work.
If you know Wike's history, you won't advise the Governor to have anything to do with Wike after now...he should just face good governance and concentrate on building his own political Base

This matter has been ongoing for about 35 years now....the matter no dey finish....

All these na show-off make we know say you and your papa dey school

Inege:
Obi is putting the cat before the horse

If you don't know the difference between Cart & Cat....how else can you convince anybody that you understand the issue

Lies...they impeachment would have been DOA once it got to the state CJ...and that is the reason the 27 dissident Law makers were looking for some dirt on the man so EFFC can pick him up and they will sneak a sympathetic pro-APC judge through the backdoor to support the impeachment processes...but God not bat pass them!

id4sho:
Fubara is in support of state of emergency .

I don't know where all the decent Nigerian men have vanished to. All we have left is old fools , thieves, sadists and Satanists

The whole charade looks sombre and dry like Chicago weed

EXOUSIAng:
You sat as an elder states man and you fanning Fubara while he was misbehaving.
Declaring the sits of house of Assembly members vacant.
You couldn't call him to order.
If Fubara knew he won't be able to keep to the agreement Wike brought to the table why agree to the conditions only to start fighting 2weeks after....

Fubara demolished the State House of Assembly,you kept quiet.

Militants came out and said they will blow up pipelines instead of Fubara to condemn it he came out and said "we would tell our youth when to act" You kept quiet and kept on fanning Fubaras stupidity.
Now you are crying foul....

Wetin you smoke sef with these your senseless post? Did you ever hear Amaechi meddle in the fight between Wike and Sim? The man is just concerned about the grand Agenda of this reckless flexing of executive power by "Terrible President" to emasculate the innocent rivers people....that's all

masterfactor:
Let the pdp go and lift the state of emergency, infact let them instruct the army to go back to the barrack I want to check something. Fubara and the law makers are all pdp member, what did pdp do to resolve the matter, instead they all took side, even the elders in river state took side, one loyal to fubara and the others loyal to wike.

You live in a bubble....PDP is not the party in government (and I'm neither a party member orca card carrying member of any political party in Nigeria to start with...i have a totally different DEMOCRATIC ideology about how we should continue as a nation ) so why are you implying that an opposition party should commit teason by urging them to "go lift the State of emergency..." or even anything of its kind...🤔
Secondly, you have not done your research to know that these 27 guys left PDP ling ago and swore an affidavit to that effect which is on record and recognised by the same court under jekere-ekun that gave them judgement to return to their positions as state assembly members while side-stepping the fact that they had defected from the party that brought them to office in the first place.
The Tinubu puppeteered judgement has also said the issue of defection is mutually exclusive and the 27 former House members cannot be denied judgement on the strength of their prior defection which was well documented ( signed and sealed by each of them) and aired by most mainstream media...
This thing that Tinubu has done...weather he succeeds or not has set a very bad precedence and has exposed his grossly incompetent underbelly !

Mod abeg make una push this one to front page as e dey hot

It appears there is going to be alot of legal debate on this ...so the SOW declaration in Rivers state is perhaps " not as the crow flies"

“STATE OF EMERGENCY IN RIVERS: “SUSPENSION” OR OTHERWISE SUMMARY REMOVAL OF A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNOR AND OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL”

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has taken due notice of the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as contained in his address to the nation today, 18th March 2025. This declaration according to the President is due to the prevailing political tension in the state and due to the “vandalization of pipelines between yesterday and today:” This development has far-reaching constitutional and democratic implications, particularly in light of the provisions of Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), which governs the procedure for the proclamation of a state of emergency and which the President purported to have relied upon.

Section 305 of the Constitution indeed vests the President with the power to declare a state of emergency, the Section stipulates strict conditions and procedural safeguards that must be followed to ensure that such extraordinary measures do not infringe on democratic governance and fundamental human rights.

The NBA is gravely concerned about the purported suspension by the President of the Governor of Rivers State, the Deputy Governor, and the Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for six months.
The 1999 Constitution does not grant the President the power to remove an elected governor, deputy governor, or members of a state’s legislature under the guise of a state of emergency. Rather, the Constitution provides clear procedures for the removal of a governor and deputy governor as per Section 188. Similarly, the removal of members of the House of Assembly and dissolution of parliament is governed by constitutional provisions and electoral laws, none of which appear to have been adhered to in the present circumstances.

A declaration of emergency does not automatically dissolve or suspend elected state governments. The Constitution does not empower the President to unilaterally remove or replace elected officials—such actions amount to an unconstitutional usurpation of power and a fundamental breach of Nigeria’s federal structure.

The NBA firmly asserts that the situation in Rivers State, though politically tense, does not meet the constitutional threshold for the removal of elected officials.
For a state of emergency to be declared, Section 305(3) of the Constitution outlines specific conditions, including:
1. War or external aggression against Nigeria.
2. Imminent danger of invasion or war
3. A breakdown of public order and safety to such an extent that ordinary legal measures are insufficient.
4. A clear danger to Nigeria’s existence.
5. Occurrence of any disaster or natural calamity affecting a state or a part of it.
6. Such other public danger that constitutes a threat to the Federation.
The NBA questions whether the political crisis in Rivers State has reached the level of a complete breakdown of law and order warranting the removal of the Governor and his administration. Political disagreements, legislative conflicts, or executive-legislative tensions do not constitute a justification for emergency rule. Such conflicts should be resolved through legal and constitutional mechanisms, including the judiciary, rather than executive fiat.

The purported removal of Governor Fubara, his deputy, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly is therefore unconstitutional, unlawful, and a dangerous affront to our nation’s democracy.
Furthermore, subsection (2) of Section 305 provides that:
“A Proclamation issued by the President under this section shall cease to have effect—
(a) if it is not approved by a resolution of the National Assembly within two days when the National Assembly is in session; or
(b) if the National Assembly is not in session, within ten days after it reconvenes.”

These provisions provide that a state of emergency declared by the President does not assume automatic validity. It requires legislative ratification within a defined timeframe to remain in effect. The NBA, therefore, emphasizes that unless the National Assembly duly approves the proclamation, the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State remains constitutionally inchoate and ineffective.

In light of the foregoing, the Nigerian Bar Association:
• Affirms that the President does not have the constitutional power to remove an elected governor under a state of emergency. Any such action is an unconstitutional encroachment on democratic governance and the autonomy of state governments.
• Calls on the National Assembly to reject any unconstitutional attempt to ratify the removal of the Rivers State Governor and other elected officials. The approval of a state of emergency must be based on strict constitutional grounds, not political expediency.
• Warns that suspending elected officials under emergency rule sets a dangerous precedent that undermines democracy and could be misused to unseat elected governments in the future.
• Demands that all actions taken in Rivers State strictly conform to constitutional provisions and Nigeria’s democratic norms.
• Encourages all stakeholders, including the judiciary, civil society, and the international community, to closely monitor the situation in Rivers State to prevent unconstitutional governance and abuse of power.

The NBA remains committed to upholding the Constitution, defending democratic governance, and ensuring that the rule of law prevails in Nigeria. A state of emergency is an extraordinary measure that must be invoked strictly within constitutional limits. The removal of elected officials under the pretext of emergency rule is unconstitutional and unacceptable.

We call on all relevant authorities to act in accordance with the law and the best interest of the country. Nigeria’s democracy must be protected at all costs, and the Constitution must be upheld as the supreme legal authority in all circumstances.

NASS WONT APPROVE IT, JUST AS THEY DID NOT APPROVE THE DRUGGIE WAR ON NIGER REPUBLIC.


IT IS A MOST FOOLISH VENTURE BY A DRUG BARRON.

He's already moved soldiers into RSGH...and i hear a strong military build up around the state...apparently he's also behind the reason those 27 guys have disappeared since Fubura approached to imform them about his plans to re-present the budget.
This guy called Tinubu is not different from Wike...but he'd be shocked at the total aftermath of these brazenly illegal decision ....it will be far.. far reaching even if he rescind now because all his actions have clearly been one-sided against the Governor.. and everyone can see it!

FreeSpirited:
1. Filled the pocket of my primary school uniform with garri.... then throw it bit by bit into my buccal cavity as I trek along to school
.
2. First day I went to a brothel to sleep with a prostitute, I cried bitterly after the sex, and begged God for forgiveness. The sex dint even last 20 secs, was so disappointed in myself for sinning.
.
. 3. While in primary school, my landlord househelp who was like 3/4years older than me wud take me to her room, lay naked and make me to lie on her... We will try unend with no success trying to get my small pintus to enter into her... We will just be rolling over each till we are tired.. We never discovered the entrance, like it was blocked.. She was still a Virgin, I was too... We were doing daddy and mummy curiosity rubbish.
..

Heeeiiii.....come oo...this one been really spoil ooo

TechCapon:
If you're not brave enough, no one will back you up. Fubara has support of the people but he's still not brave enough to fight his enemies. Ambode will be laughing his ass off right now because he has seen his twin brother

I'm beginning to support wike, politics is not for the weak and fubara is weak. See how assembly members are terrorizing him in his state. I always knew he's not going to see second tenure but it looks like he's not even going to finish his first tenure

Guy, please go and read the analysis on the current issue by By Ugochukwu Tonye Oputa then you can come back and tell us if all these deft moves by Sim is ao-called "Weakness"

Welldone Newcastle....good job...👍
It was...Worth the wait.

Will be happy if NewCastle can see this to the end but football can be very unpredictable with less that 5 mins to go and maybe another 4-5mins in added time

I don belif dis....where is Bishop Kukah?
