Let's hear what Mr. Obi has to say about this.. Soludo should have channeled all the money used for this project to tackle gully erosion plaguing Anambra State, then maybe invest some in beer factory.

So Alex Otti sacked over 15,000 workers from Abia State civil service and the news didn't trend?. I hope he gave them something to fall back on at least.. in this harsh economy, some still dey render their people jobless.

TheGift:
It’s ok if the North plans to unseat Tinubu; as long as they plan to seat another Southerner. Otherwise, Nigeria, will be finally over.

This is what men like Atiku don't understand.. For them, It's lust for power, not peace and national unity.
Good thing Shehu Sani is speaking to their conscience already.. North has completed 8yrs, while shouldn't South complete 8yrs also if truly we are one united nation.

PBAT and his team need to do more if he wants a second term in office.. the issue of insecurity, banditry and whatnot should be tackled on time so farmers can return to their farms.
Instead of subsidizing Hajj for pilgrims, they should enter PPP with farmers to set up large farms and agro-processing zones across the country to tackle the problem of high prices of foodstuffs in the market.

The Power Ministry should ensure removal of manufacturing industries and other key industries from band A to other bands so they can survive.. high cost of power will only make more industries to shut down, leading to loss of jobs and economic collapse.

PBAT should not go to sleep yet, the reason Atiku is courting Obi now is for him to sway votes of South East to his side in 2027 which if you check history well, is very possible.. Igbos have no problem voting Northerners over their fellow Southerners as far as they get VP or SP post. The Rivers State tussle too can be tied to 2027, some States in South West too might give PDP considerable amount of votes to get national spread.

I'm not pleased with the way the current administration of PBAT is slacking on pwer related matters. Most of those big companies leaving Nigeria are doing so because of greed of some Nigerians that want to continue extorting citizens through the power sector.

How will you place high power consumers like industries who need light 24/7 on band A with extra high power tariff and expect them not to fold up?. The Minister of Power will just open mouth and be talking rubbish he knows next to nothing about in Public.

Even with electricity bills piling up into millions of naira monthly on band A, most if not all the industries can't get straight 10 hrs out of 24 hrs power supply, still they will fuel their generators to keep their plants running.

Whoever is advising the President and his team better wake up, if not by December, 90% of industries would be closed translating to job losses, zero jobs and more economic crises which Nigeria might never come out from.

There are some positions you don't just give politicians but people with discerning minds, that have what it takes academically and Minister of Power is one of such.

It's possible that the girl was playing around on your phone and registered her finger prints on it.. It's also possible that you guys have identical finger prints.
This generation of kids are drawn towards tech, so don't underestimate what a 5 yr old can do with gadgets.

@OP You're very correct.. the inadequate supply of power has contibuted so much to the slow development of our economy.

What do you think is the way forward?.. consider size and some inner areas e.g creeks.

Let me seize the moment to reiterate that I remain friend to the igbos. Asides minor minor banters, I do not wish any harm for Igbos in Nigeria.

Raskimonojendor:
Did you see the post they replied. Hypocrite.

They want us to leave the forum for them.

Quite sad.. May his soul rest in peace.
It might be cardiac arrest.

I will never call for genocide on my beloved Igbo folks.. Never!

So this is the new trick to use alternates to provoke Nairalanders and get them banned to silence the few reasonable ones remaining.

@Seun Kindly look into this matter.. this is a clear violation of all principles a forum should stand for.

@OP I leave you to God.. you'll be judged by the Almighty.

bixton:
Theres so much that cant be written in social columns.
Nevertheless Rivers people are majorly taking sides against Wike because of his fight with Atiku and mostly the role he played to seeing that PBAT won the elections.

Finally.. someone who understands what is playing and is sincere.
The whole thing has political undertone, all those stories of remittances are smokescreen to confuse people. I hope Rivers won't turn to another Borno with IDP camps everywhere.

ExudeLoveToAll:
There is no solution to this issue know this and know peace, a greedy man with always remain a greedy man no matter how you beg him. All of these you Stated had happened long before you guys started hearing the issue on public fora.

The Wike cancelled all communication sent to him as regards negotiation and this is the only time to cut him off from the source. The issue of money to be remitted to Wike to maintain his structure was so huge that the guy had to go back to him to discuss the monthly remittance to his Godfather but Wike unknown to him is no longer the Governor and gave the Governor a marching order to continue comply as agreed. Wike escalated the issue to a point where he is not in position to renegotiate any terms of agreement even if the people of rivers State suffer as a result of his selfish drive. No body in the history of rivers State has had that kind of deal Wike imposed of the Governor. He doesn't care even if Rivers says doesn't have money to pay salaries.

It's a win win situation for the people of Rivers State, the Governor representing us should never agree to an anti people policy where more than 25% of our monthly allocation would be given to one man to maintain his criminal structure, it should never how I don't care which kind of deal they had prior to the elections. Wike was single handedly brought into limelight hlby the Odillis which deal did he go into with them when they brought him to limelight? He has seen the Lagos model where Tinubu controls everything, his alpha beta gets 10% statutory cut from over 1.3 trillion IGR from Lagos State Treasury and wants such replicated in Rivers State unknown to him Rivers people can't fall for such gimmicks.

The ship has sailed , the time he was begged has passed, there will be more money for projects, recurrent expenditure which will serve the people more than the selfish interest of one man.

The question now is for how long will this fight continue?.. Fubara has shown strength and courage but Wike sef no be push over politician.

It is well with Rivers State people. I rest my case.

The Vice President didn't say anything bad na.. he was just reminding you guys that the Sultan stool is more or less an institution to be jealously guarded. As una head dey sabi turn anyhow for North.

Noone would have believed Emir of Kano, Emir Sanusi would be deposed by Ganduje.

Ojuntana:
You said a gov wants to get himself killed for trying to uphold the law. That's a threat in my opinion

Should I be the one to teach you English again?.. there are various forms of expressing oneself with the English vocabulary and it doesn't mean you mean harm to a person or group.

If I say.. 'those cheering Fubara on want to get him killed'.. I could actually mean that those cheering him on want to put him in trouble or those cheering him on don't mean well for hiim.

I also play with idiomatic expressions on here a lot, so don't take things too serious.

Adolak:
You're talking about diplomacy.
Are you sure you've been following this issue from the beginning?

I have actually..

Right from the time Fubara won to the time he pulled down the Rivers HOA meeting venue and all.
The way I see it is this.. Fubara was part of a clique yeah?, they were the "men in charge" including the so called Wike loyalists he is now fighting. Then maybe from a fallout, he wants to get rid of all others and stamp himself as an authority in Rivers State.
You know this cartel sorta thing.. those ones too won't give up easily na.. everyone protecting their own interest and the few coins entering their pockets.

greggng:
Everyone cannot be like the yorubas . God farherism is the reason why our polical system is not moving forward. Ambode was one of the finest governors this country will ever produced ..he was removed cos he fell out with his godfather . The yorubas saw nothing wrong with it . They want a replica of that somewhere else. Things doesn't work this way . Wike has a job at the fct ..he should allow the governor to work ..Out law says thst the governor of a state is the chief security officer of that state ...but in practice Abuja is still controlling the state...this is not democracy . Rule of law should be allowed to prevail . Alltne local govt chairmen in rivers whose tenure have expired are all loyal to wike ...no sensible governor will want those people to oversea an election into the local govt . The governor is fighting for his life ....

Hmmm..

So what will you say about Governors handpicking their own successors?.. Isn't that a pointer to godfatherism on its own?

Ojuntana:
Are you planning to kill a state gov
DSS should look into this your statement

No I'm.not.. stop being clever by half.
Check other people's comments and check yours.. the only odd one out.

CorrectionFLuid:
I repeat, when you want Yoruba support, present yourself as the oppressor.

So who is the oppresor and who is the oppressed?.

The only sin of Wike is because he chose to side with a Southerner for President, which is understandable as Buhari had completed 8yrs, common sense dictates that power should shift South.

Except maybe you started following politics late.. Wike won the heart of Rivers people and he got a second term in office with ease.

I don't know why but I have my doubts about the Fubara guy.. he doesn't look like a serious mind or someone that will do much. Just my own opinion tho.

tojahh:
There was never a guber race that is easy. Even Sanwo Olu started licking ice cream with commoners and attending functions uninvited just to win.
Obaseki will install Asue and keep his steeze as an elder statesman in Edo State

Right?..

Obaseki na Lagos man, even the much hyped Obi.. they always come back to Lagos.

We won't do like Edo people claiming "Edo no be Lagos".. we wish them well and hope they elect a competent leader that will deliver projects and infrastucture for socio-economic development of Edo State.

Smartcitizen:
This Davido wears will make many people from brown roof mad.

I get News for most of them,

I'm from their villages and I was asked to inform them that their grandparents roof has been leaking so much recently.

I DON'T MEAN ANY HARM O!

No harm or injury sustained..

Davido has the freewill to choose whoever he likes, it's one of qualities among Yorubas. If you decide to choose SS or SE or NC or NW or NE, no problems.. It's when you overstep boundary and try to claim our ancestral lands that will cause problem.
Be rest assured Chioma is safe just like Mrs Akeredolu in Ondo State.

aieromon:
After supporting APGA's Nweke Jnr in Enugu? She dare not utter a word even though she is from Edo. She will collect chokings from all corners.

So EluuP agenda won't agend in Edo State?.. Interesting!

tojahh:
So Monday Ighodalo and Oshomole with Tinubu and Ganduje are not in this Mud?

Obaseki don buy market before wey dey ground.. the Governorship race won't be easy for his anointed candidate, I'm sure he knows that.

Alex Otti will be like.. are you guys sure I won't return to APC like this?
The only Governor LP produced in Nigeria's last election.
Where is tigress Yesefu in all these... why is she silent?

ogbe88:
U will be arrested this week, foolish man.

Fvck off.

The name be sounding like 'Ata sue sue'.

So this guy still carry politics enter wedding?.. Akpata and Obi in the mud.

Chioma is a very lucky girl.. if you know Ithe way igbo girls rush Yoruba guys ehnn, fear go catch you.
They can talk trash and condemn Yorubas openly but are dying inside to get a Yoruba guy to call their own
