CrimeRe: Cultist Nabbed For Killing Rival And Chopping Off His Wrist In Ogun(PICS) by ElevationD: 9:52am On May 17, 2024

Unfortunately he got caught and started getting his reward already. He can take that face along to prison for now. His legs and body too must be in terrible condition.
PoliticsRe: Fubara Reinstates 200 LG Workers Sacked By Chidi Lloyd; Pays 3 Months Salaries by ElevationD: 9:33am On May 17, 2024
Now Fubara is building his own structure. Gently he’ll put them together in the local governments, state cabinet, SAs, SSAs, state house of assembly, etc. very soon members of the NASS will port to his camp. Wike too will not wait until 2027.

Rivers state may experience very bloody elections in 2027, as Wike will move mountains to prove himself.

Fantastic. Those are very popular on the roads. Now they can transport iron rods, cement, agricultural products and make plenty money daily. Many families through this have been lifted out of poverty.

Hopefully the recipients can reciprocate the gesture to others in need. I see happiness all over Oduburu.

Thank you to Chief Ifekudu.

Car TalkRe: Who Still Remembers When V-boot And 190 Made Lagos-benin In 2 Hours? by ElevationD: 9:18am On May 17, 2024
brain54:
Oga don't mind me...

Was calculating something else(distance from Lagos to warri)

Lagos to benin Is possible in 2hrs... Lagos to warri is about 4/5 hrs...and na wetin my mind being dey calculate.

That's why I was even asking if you passed the township.

You are right... If you cover Lagos to benin in 2 hrs it would not sound strange or surprising to me!
It was never possible to travel from Lagos to Benin in two hours with such regular cars on the bad roads. Even with lesser “highway patrol” officers, no one could drive that super fast.

You’d first get to Shagamu which too twenty minutes on the two lane road. Next to Ijebu ode in 30 minutes. Next to Ore in one hour. Next to Okada in 30 minutes and the last leg into Benin city in 20 minutes. With fast cars and speed living drivers, it was a minimum of 3 hours and half. Do not forget that bad roads, especially at Ogun state end, have been there for over forty years.

It was much more pleasurable travelling on that road, when there were no herdsmen. You could drive happily at night, except for armed robbers too. Those were the military days and early days of the OBJ government. The rest is history, as politicians used that road to amass wealth with endless contracts.
CrimeRe: Lady Confronts New User Of Her Stolen Phone After Tracking It (Video) by ElevationD: 9:06am On May 17, 2024
Mynd44:
The problem here is that the new user is going to lose big time and possibly face serious police wahala if she doesn't have strong representation.

She has been caught in custody if a stolen item and what can save here is if she bought the phone from a standard store and she was issued a receipt or she can produce the person who sold the phone to her.

The original owner will get her phone back, that one is certain; it is the new owner that will lose money, time and small police problem
If she cannot produce a receipt; if she cannot show then the shop where she purchased the phone, she’ll end up with the accusation of being the thief. She’ll face jail time.

The tracker helped our police do their job. It is unfair that you cannot find tracking equipments with the police. Basic needs are missing in this age of technology, making policing very difficult.

No generalize abeg if na so all civil servants get the opportunity to amass wealth as u dey claim, no civil servants for dey do okada or kabu kabu.. No civil servants for dey borrow money for GTB with half of their salary to pay children school fee, no civil servants for dey borrow money go do Masters .. Some of u when u hear minimum wage matter una go just dey get bad bele for civil servants as if they say make Una no also apply for the same job... Why did the commission not verify there certificate before given them letter of appointment.. In Edo State Civil service once u are through with ur Degree program, before your conversion letter to 08, the commission must verify ur certificate first.. That state failed to do the needful.
Stop disgracing yourself with your blind argument bros.

If you read my comment very well, you would have seen the word “some”. How has the word “some” translated to “generalize”?

Again, did you not read the word “peculiar” in my comment? If the state did not do the needful, how did it find out and weed out the ghost workers? Even the FG and all MDAs confront the same challenge.

Single out corrupt civil servants who make life hard for the populace and confront them with the truth!

So you did not read the part where it mentioned 4,300 workforce? And you do not read where it said “ghost workers”. And you do not know that your state has uncountable “miracle centers”. Maybe shame would not permit you to mention the name of your state.
PoliticsRe: 6 Directors, 222 Workers Sacked As Anambra Orders Refund Of 4-Year Wage by ElevationD: 7:10am On May 17, 2024
Holding two civil service jobs and collecting salaries is such a shame. Some hold three jobs. Some hold two or more jobs in two different states, while getting their colleagues and friends to sign for them.

The most corrupt people in the country are the civil servants. While they cry to the high heavens for increase in salaries, a good percentage of them take advantage of their positions to amass stupendous wealth. They show the politicians all the loopholes to use in stealing public wealth.

This is not peculiar to one state. The bigger the state and its workforce, the bigger the wickedness of these civil servants.

While he aligns with Wike and Tony Okocha, Fubara will align with the others and use the same Wike’s system to secure victory in 2027.

If he’s not a governor, what do you want to call him. Those who insult him are politicians. Now they have lost their positions and have to stay hungry until 2027. That’s one way to prove that presently, he has the power.

In this brouhaha, the people of rivers are behind governor fubara. Don't try to bring in tribe, as Igbo, ijaw, ogoni, andoni, etc and even wikes ikwerre are behind fubara.

Stop your attempt at divide and conquer otherwise what you will see, you will not be able to handle it
My comment should not be viewed myopically as tribalistic. I am sorry if my comment was misunderstood. I know that Rivers state is multi ethnic. I am not an Ijaw person either. But I just looked at it from the position of population strength. I know that other tribes have their grouse against him and would do everything to stop Wike.

In all it surely must be a win win for the citizens of the state. We must hold our leaders accountable. Their fights, if it will not move the state forward, must not be the fight of the citizens. When we stand behind them, we must be sure that the expected victory must lead to the greater good of the entire state.
PoliticsRe: Fubara To Rivers LG Chairmen: If Anybody Gets Hurt, You Will Pay For It by ElevationD: 5:17pm On May 16, 2024
The battle is getting hotter.

Those who resigned, will Wike get them all federal government jobs? Are the positions reserved only for Wike and his people?

Clearly Wike pocketed the entire state. All the positions in the state belonged to him. How he managed to achieve that is shocking. That’s what he called his structure.

When he employed 200,000 SAs before the election, this is exactly what he was driving at. Fubara, being part and the arrow head of the structure, has moved to completely dismantle him. With Fubara as an Ijaw man and with a population advantage, Wike may not recover from the loss.

PoliticsRe: Gbenga Daniel: Southwest Will Be Home To 50% Of Nigerians By 2050 by ElevationD: 10:47am On May 16, 2024
CapitalBank:
Bros, let me tell you what is happening. But before then, read "The Confession of an Economic Hit Man"

Whether you accept this or not, what he said is happening but slowly. SW is the only seemly peaceful and economically vibrant region as of today in the whole of Nigeria, especially Lagos and it is not by accident.

My former school mate was telling me he wants to leave Warri to Ondo. Why?

A lot fo Nigerians from other Southern regions are moving to South West but it is not by mistake or error and these places where they are moving from have almost become economically stagnant. Imagine someone telling you that they are moving from Warri to Ondo... Flash back to decades ago when Warri was bubbling with expatriates and white oil workers along with other Niger Delta states... then BOOM insecurity and unrest.. one by one, those oil companies moved their HQ to Lagos.

South East was relatively peaceful... then BOOM, we have killings going on, Dora Akunyili's husband was murdered in the process along with prominent Igbo leaders. Meanwhile the guy behind it was caught printing flyers in Lagos, with Lagos vehicle.

The earlier other Southern states wake, the better for them.
Do not mistake migration to Lagos as migration to the SW. Other states develop at about the same pace. Lagos is way ahead of others, not just by chance, but by careful and systematic injection of funds, in its status as the administrative and commercial capital. We expect there to be migration towards areas where people feel that they can earn better living.

Insecurity festers because it is driven by the same leaders. We have been told that several times. The same leaders cause their citizens to relocate from their areas. The same happens in Ondo, with the evil herdsmen taking over forests in generally peaceful areas, killing and maiming citizens. Everywhere in the country has its own challenges.

In all, let’s not deceive ourselves with the level of tribal insults and threats to violence in the minds of the citizens. It was not like this, until 1999 and the recent times. Our politicians have built hatred, bad thoughts and wickedness into the minds of people, in the name of politics and leadership. The disagreements were not this pronounced, even though they somehow were existing.

Now again, the same politicians tell their people to think home or carry their investments to their various states, just in case things go wrong in the future.

First we must talk of reuniting the citizens. Short of that, Gbenga Daniels’ projections are meaningless.
PoliticsRe: Gbenga Daniel: Southwest Will Be Home To 50% Of Nigerians By 2050 by ElevationD:
With the way politicians play with the emotions of the citizens, inciting them tribally,’will there be any Nigeria by 2050?

Nigerians have advanced deeply with the thought of going their separate ways. There are no clear efforts at reconciliation.

Again, with the amounts getting looted daily, what will they used to build the region properly? If they had spent money properly in the last 50 years, Nigeria should be like Malaysia, at least.
