It’s normal Obi is from Igbo tribe I don’t expect anything short. They don’t love Yoruba and they don’t hide it right from Zik time, reason they don’t vote Yoruba

Close that your nonsense mouth.

Peter Obi is from Anambra state. He is a politician, an ex governor and President in waiting.

Mrs. Remi Tinubu is from Delta state, a politician, ex Senator and the current First Lady.

Who should be more popular between them in Dta state? If Obi floored the First Lady in her state, I’d that not a sign that there is no connection between her and her people?

Think before talking, una go say no.

End of life’s journey for the boy.

By the way, if an apprentice who has not started life yet maintains a girlfriend, is it not sign that he will not make it well in life? Why not focus on his study, become a master, work and then get a lady to live his life with?

Now his freedom is gone. The said girl will only be arrested, interrogated and set free if she is not complicit. She will continue her irresponsible life with other men in freedom.

Who will make young men find some sense?

Politics › Re: Genesis Of The Rivers Political Crisis Between Wike And Fubara-true STORY by ElevationD: 8:49am On Mar 28, 2025

Xisnin:
Ex-governors embezzle money while in power, not while out of power.
The OP claimed the IRS chairman is declaring incomplete revenue on behalf of Wike while Fubara was still in charge.
That is not possible, as only Fubara himself can authorize such diversion.

You are missing the point, the issue is not about whether a governor or a president can embezzle government funds,
everybody knows they can.
But the OP lied that an ex-governor was embezzling money while out of power.

If Fubara supporters claim Wike embezzle money while in power, it is logical,
but saying he was still diverting government funds using the IRS while out of power is insane.

Please read through completely wit clear understanding and no bias.

Wike openly said that he purchased the election forms for all the candidates in Rivers state. Having done that, did you not expect him to get the returns on his investment?

Wike stated off as a local government chairman and then rose over the years on that political ladder. Have you ever wondered what would have given him such stupendous wealth? As a lawyer, did you hear that he had a successful law firm? Did you hear that he owned a factory somewhere? If we cannot question leaders who accumulate such wealth out of the blues, then we agree with them to continue impoverishing us.

It was stated the amount declared monthly as the state income, which was less than half of the real sum. Fubara was the AG, sought badly for arrest by EFCC and hidden in the government house by the then governor. Why was he hidden there? Do you think that a man like that would not know what was happening with the resources, especially as he did not authorize that removal? If Wike, as he said, fixed all the leaders, do you not expect them to report to him? Did you not read that the refusal of Fubara to permit the stealing of over 16b monthly became the issue? He asked why he should account for what he knew nothing about. Did you not read that? Was it disputed by Wike and his group?

Lastly, your response was contradictory please. It showed partly that you agreed with what the OP said.

Politics › Re: Genesis Of The Rivers Political Crisis Between Wike And Fubara-true STORY by ElevationD: 11:36pm On Mar 27, 2025

Xisnin:
Tales by the moonlight for the gullible.
There is no way an internal revenue body will directly deduct money from government account
which the IRS chairman has no access to but the governor himself.

Fubara only pretended to not be interested in governorship to fool Wike into thinking he was not desperate for power.

The source of the fight was the nomination of speaker for the house and not some phantom billions story.

Fubara wanted Ehie and Wike wanted Amaewele, Amaewele got elected and Fubara declare a war.
He tried to buy some member of the house into impeaching Amaewele, he bought three of them already
but when word got out, Amawele tried to protect himself by impeaching Fubara.

Fubara also learnt of this and bombed the house before the day an official indictment will be prepared.

And that is how we got here.

So all the ex governors arrested by EFCC for embezzling public funds, where were they getting the monies from? Or you were not aware that Abacha used the then CBN governor to directly receive cash is dollars, pounds and other European currencies from the CBN vault? Is it not the job of the state governor to give the instructions, while the civil servants, in this case the accountant general, etc to perfect the paper work of removing the funds?

Please follow what happens a little more. What we all read above is the exact narrative that we have always heard since 2021.

No. He will never benefit from it for the rest of his life. When he is out of hospital, he will be in court for the offence of murder. That’s a life sentence. A little bit of patience with his far elder brother would have helped. Said mango trees were probably planted by their father.

FreeStuffsNG:
This life ehn. Pride goeth before a fall.

So all the crude oil from the South East doesn't even add up enough to the quantity of crude oil produced in Lagos yet all the VAT keeps going to South East and some ungrateful folks from the South Eaat call other Nigerians parasite. Smh.

Lagos State will catch up and overtake others ahead of it some day.

The SouthWest is the future of Nigeria's petroleum industry. Very soon, Ogun State will join this list.

This is why we need more investments in oil and gas investments in Lagos State.
Invest in Lagos today.
May God bless Nigeria for ever!

“Pride girth before a fall”. Tell yourself that.

If you allow some common sense to work for you, you must first ask yourself how the so called oil has made living better for Nigerians. With the so called little quantity found in the SE, they are able to run their states successfully. Has Lagos become like Johannesburg or Kigali, with all your pride?

If you allow some common sense to work for you, you should ask yourself and government that you blindly support what has been happening to the income from resources in the north. Olodo. Why not look at the northerners in the face and call them parasites without fear? Afterall your so called VAT is distributed to Kano, Jigawa, etc and yet beer from your side is destroyed on daily basis?

You need more investments in oil and gas in Lagos state, yet you do not know that Imo and Anambra states hold some of the largest gas reserves in the world. It is no longer a secret that gas is the future. If Nigeria holds together as a nation, very soon we will know who is the parasite between you and others. In the meantime, keep feeling the pain of being a tenant in the house of the people that you hate in your own area.

While decent Nigerians are forging ahead inspite of the tribal, political and religious differences, people like you keep living on trees like ancient people, using tribalism to trouble the development of the country.

After knowing that they steal public funds, you fight for them, support them by all means to continue in their positions, for the same paltry packs of food that they give.

You can't compare the rigging and corruption now to that of pdp era. APC dey learn work, they rig with human face. Infact, rigging is more difficult nowadays. Pdp used to rig even before elections where conducted, announced results before voting started. Nowadays, votes are counting more hence the spate of vote buying

You see yourself? So to you, rigging has human face. So when APC won in Osun state and Buhari used the words “ remote control”, the rigging had human face?

And when you need to talk about rigging, first take a close look at APC to understand it. Again do not forget that Buhari once said that APC won Osun state that year by remote control. If the sitting President could say that, why do you a bloody citizen, want to look for what is by your side?

Nwebonyi is a disgrace to his party. Without doubt, he showed himself a complete hooligan. How he was able to call Oby Ezekwesili a fool at 70 beats my imagination. By all standards, they are not mates. Except that he is a Senator, how would he ever compare with her. It was a shameful outburst in the name of defending the Senate President. Even with all the call on him to restrain himself, he continued. He even dared to tell her that her likes should not be in the Senate chambers. He made himself the fool. If the SP had managed the event with Natasha maturedly, the Senate as a whole will not be in this mess.

Thankfully he found out that the woman is no pushover.

That’s politics and politicians. It is the work of her political opponents, who thought that an opportunity had come for them to remove her.

The lady has shown resilience. She’s proved to be a fighter and not a coward. Se has guts and personality. She’s fearless and very confident. Natasha is one type of leader that we need. She performs for her people. Even her fellow Senators like Imasuen and Nwebonyi now know better. If you want to take on Natasha, you must have the strength.

Imasuen’s credibility now is questioned. Nwebonyi who is an opposition Senator has showed that he is an APC man in the body of Labour Party. He should not be returned in 2027. Labour should not trust that man with the ticket next time.

The constitution gives power to declare the state of emergency.

In a state of emergency normal rules don’t apply. That is why it is called a state of emergency.

If the procedure for declaring a state of emergency was not followed that is a different matter. But your argument ab-initio was not whether the procedure was properly followed. Your argument (either in a clear display of ignorance or having an agenda) was questioning why normal rules were not being followed in a state of emergency. What you are now trying to do now is to move the goal post after being exposed.

I have already posted on this and won’t repeat myself.

Look friend, you did not need this very long analysis and English, if only you looked without bias at the constitutional provisions.

The question remains if the conditions for a declaration of a state of emergency were existing. Aside from the political disagreements between the contending powers, what were the existing conditions (if any), genuinely leading to the state of emergency.

Long submissions and interpretations are not needed if we understand clearly the constitution as quoted by you.

What is decent about Okowa that failed as a governor, rigged his LGA for Ned to win and rigged out Omo Agege for useless Sheriff

Oga, tell us only about Edo state. You do not know much about other states.

Show us the areas in Edo state where APC won elections without rigging.

What are the factors that determine failure that you cannot find in the entire leadership in your Edo state?
Give us concrete evidence to back up your claim that Okowa failed in Delta state as the Governor.

Where was and is the hope for APC to defeat PDP in Delta politics? Go and read the election results from 2015, when APC started to field candidates in Delta state and tell us where the hope for APC was. Inspite of Ibori and his combination of APC political leaders in Delta Central, Okowa defeated them all. That APC got two seats, was by the name of the candidates and not the party. Even APC supporters were openly saying that they did not stand a chance.

Of all the Senatorial zones, how did you expect Omo Agege to defeat PDP in Delta north, which was, is and will continue to be PDP’s home? By the way, Peter Nwaoboshi, who contested on the platform of APC was roundly defeated by Ned, not because Ned was popular, but because, just like Delta central is Omo Agege/Ibori’s stronghold, Delta north is Okowa’s stronghold. Omo Agege himself scored 240k votes because of the anti party activities of Ibori against his own PDP in Delta central. Your Omo Agege was lucky that Ibori was angry at Okowa for not accepting his own governorship candidate. Yet they were roundly defeated by Okowa.

What’s making Sheriff useless? Show us proof that he is useless. You go just siddon for Ramat park dey drink alumo come dey tell us of Sheriff.

PresidObi:
The people that told you to pick a paperweight Okowa must e working for jagaban.

Peter Obi won everywhere in Delta state that Okowa was still a sitting governor.

Where did Obi win everywhere in Delta state that he did not repeat in Rivers state?

In other presidential elections before Wike, PDP scored over one million votes. Even with his last minute so called 200k special assistants, he delivered less than 300k votes to APC, according to what was claimed. Was that progressive or retrogressive? To you, who was a paperweight between Wike and Okowa, who delivered the Presidential election victory to his party in Delta state? Why was Wike not able to muster over one million votes, or even close to it, as was always the custom. We all have always expected heavy votes from Kano and Rivers. NNNP scored close to one million votes, yet your Wike could not match words with action in Rivers state.

Labour Party defeated APC in Lagos state, but can you call Shettima a paper weight politician? Or you do not understand what the word paperweight means?

A decent politician with integrity with not sell his party and people for selfish interests. Okowa does not and will never do that. Your Wike has been accused severally, and even openly by Magnus Abe of anti party activities. With such greedy people as Wike, how can political parties progress?

Oya, answer.

I suggest you read the definition below and reassess your comment.

I also suggest you familiarize yourself with the terms of the SOE as enacted by the National Assembly.

Finally I suggest you familiarize yourself with the subject matter before you rush to mdomment.

And have you taken your time to look at the constitution, to familiarize yourself with it and ask if the so called state of emergency was in accordance with its stipulations?

I suggest that you take your time to look through, vis - a - vis the actions to taken, to make a proper assessment and draw a proper conclusion on it.

2-Stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. (This is the easier more practical route)

Sorry bro, you have the wrong calculation.

There is only one option, not for Israel, but for the Houthis.

With Trump presently in the mix, if they hit the Israeli airport, they will get a response far worse than Gaza.

Remember that the Israelis took time to respond to Hezbollah. Their radar is already set in Yemen and their evil and irresponsible Houthi leaders. This will not be the battle against Saudi Arabia. The Israelis fight the scotched earth wars. Watch out, Yemen will bleed badly.

They hit an American warship, just like Trump earlier said “all hell will let loose, they will face unimaginable destruction from Trump.
