https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RUyl_NVUPU?si=ZSM6kgdBxPuIdzqP See a man introducing people he has lifted in politics and has not extracted an arm and a leg from them!! He keeps saying money is not politics and he is correct!!! Loyalty to a political cause and structure is far superior. All that Wike has asked Sim Fubara to do is ensure that the political structure that was deployed to bring him to power is maintained. Sim Fubara the ingrate heard the wrong call and foolishly went off course and is today politically naked in the marketplace with his bald head shining under the hot sun!!! I hope Sim Fubara is not too far gone in the oddity that he is to sit down and learn! Love him or hate him Wike is a political strategist of no mean repute!!!!
Fubara forgot those who helped him become governor which he thought meant king of Rivers state and began aligning with people not from Rivers who wanted to avenge Wike over chasing their terrorists from Rivers state.
AMINDA: You meant if not for Elrufai and the rest of the Northern governors. Where is Elrufai today? Exactly. That's a fate Tinubu has prepared for the rest and you all will be right there to rewrite history and justify the treachery.
Did Tinubu not intend to compensate El Rufai with a ministerial slot only for the security dossier on him that was sent to the Senate automatically disqualifying him?
Same El Rufai the senate once barred from holding public office until he got a court case to remove that ban.
Whatever El Rufai is facing is definitely karma for all his past transgressions and has nothing to do with Tinubu.
His spazzing out on Tinubu for not forcing his appointment through the Senate is why he began using his own mouth to implicate himself further
If same Tinubu had forced El Rufai's appointment through the senate and the security dossier on him got leaked, won't you guys call for Tinubu's head?
richmond500: most of u think once someone doesn't go with the tyrant Wike or Tinubu, he is automatically obedient.
Maybe, somehow I have judge Obi wrongly, he is actually a good man cos whenever a topic is centred around those that oppresses, you feel that person is Obi.
I could be Donald Duke supporter or GET supporter, but alas u felt I was obedient.
How is Wike a tyrant?
The real tyrant was Fubara who saw himself as a monarch and refused to work with the legislative branch in Rivers.
Fubara remains the luckiest person on earth because if not for Wike, the level 14 Rivers state staff would never had dreamt of being a local government chairman talk more of governor
And when they placed him there , he began thinking he was above the law
He is lucky that Tinubu saved his ass from being rightly impeached for bypassing legislative oversights.
AMINDA: Time is a gentleman. Do not be under the illusion that Northerners are fooled into thinking Tinubu will handover power to the North come 2027. You all already showed your hands after being supported by the North in 2023.
What are you spewing?
Tinubu that got their Buhari into power and despite all the humiliation and relegation he faced throughout those 8ys , he never openly criticized Buhari's govt and swallowed the insults.
The breaking point was when they wanted to instal another northerner which roused Tinubu to go to war with them and won.
If not for Tinubu , one of Buhari's cabal members would have been ruling you by now and the insecurity you cry about would have been ten times worse.
Imagine what Seunmsg has turned into, convulsing over Peter Obi while the mandate of hardship and death he stands on is unleashing even more hardships and deaths around him.
The obsession is unfortunate
And frankly, pathetic.
They are dragging an NDC vice chairman on the streets of Kano who is wearing a Kwankwassai signature hat and you can't see the writing on the wall that the people are not pleased not amused by NDC.
WizardOfNG: Sharp dude. Kwankwaso has lost a lot of support agreeing to deputise Obi. Meanwhile, NDC is another Labour Party or perhaps even worse.
So many crisis will arise and we all know Obi go just dey look like mumu incapable of being authoritative to organise the Party and whip people in line.
Same Obi said he is in labour Party to become President and not to solve the internal issues of the Party. How some Nigerians are behind this guy passionately needs to be studied. Totally empty and unfit as a leader.
Kwankwaso left the Kwankwassai movement in Kano dumbfounded when he decamped to ADC and later NDC.
Kwankwaso was supposed to have met the President in Aso Rock to formally decamp to APC in what was a peace patching attempt by Tinubu to reunite kwankwaso and the governor .
But kwankwaso never showed up in the villa and said he was scheduled to travel out of the country on a pressing engagement only for Kwankwaso to suddenly join ADC.
The US Congress false declaration on Kwankwasso being one of the politicians suppressing religious freedom in Nigeria was what I believe was used to coerce him to align with Obi .
The man is being blackmailed by AIPAC to run alongside Giringori.
kedeojo: That is what the Igbo obidients fails to understand. I am not against them be president but they are not calculative. obi should have run with Atiku and let Atiku sign a one term peace pact among critical stakeholders across the nation. kwankwanso just want to have a southern base ahead of 2031.
Not possible because Atiku had already ruled out Obi as his running mate citing how Obi refused to drop a dime in their 2019 campaign but most important because Atiku knows Obi is not sellable in the Muslim north.
seunmsg: Obidients are the funniest set of people in this country. They are so delusional when it comes to political permutations. Why exactly will the north vote for a Peter Obi in 2027? They already have the Vice President so what is he offering that is so irresistible that they will risk an assured return of power to the north in 2027 by voting a Peter Obi?
The rejection of NDC you are seeing all over Kano is just a little. The result of the election will shock Obi and his supporters. Northern elites are even more angry because they feel Kwakwanso is in NDC as an agent of Tinubu to reduce Atiku's vote. The campaign against Obi will be so massive.
I have told them that even Atiku who is desperate for power distanced himself from Obi being his vice which led to obi decamping to NDC.
They don't know that the Muslim north can never vote someone like Obi whose supporters have been at the forefront calling for Trump to balkanize Nigeria and end Sharia up north.
WizardOfNG: Lol. Obi is now officially the leader of the NDC. We await his comment on this matter if the Agulu hypocrite is not too busy shedding tears over every development in the SW.
When I was telling them that the Kwankwassai movement has since disowned Kwankwaso as their leader for entering a strange alliance with Obi, they insulted their father
The Kwankwassai movement in Kano is solidly now under the current governor following Kwankwasso joining NDC.
GloriousGbola: A blast from the past. Nothing like that. I think what happened was my card was linked to my Microsoft account and my kids were buying some minecraft dlc without supervision. (I was out of town)
Ok. That clears everything .
I didn't read the other posters response here before responding to you.
richmond500: politicians have an interest. Building a coalition and deciding the factors on who gets ticket or not will never work in Nigerian political system of greed.
That coalition may not lady till next year February that was why he is careful with choosing who will be Governor
That's up for Wike to worry about.
His coalition is geared towards winning the Presidency in Rivers state and if it involves handing the rivers state governorship to one of the coalition partners so be it.
By the way, didn't your obi once negotiated with Wike to allow him win Rivers in exchange of Wike controlling who becomes governor despite LP having a governorship candidate ?
How do you think the LP candidate will feel towards Giringori who was trading his aspiration to be governor in exchange of Wike helping him to win Rivers?
GloriousGbola: Sometime in December last year i started seeing strange transactions on my GTB account.
They were all to the same customer - DEMERGE Nigria ltd.
these transactions were all late in the evening.
I did not have much money in the account, and my immediate response was to simply move the money to a different account.
I went to GTB to report in the new year. as a result of the transaction, i destroyed my card. i never got any feedback from GTB. There is a supermarket in festac whose salesgirls may be facilitating this potential fraud, but i am not absolutely sure.
This morning i noticed a new demerge deduction.
i was about to cintact GTB, but i remebered nothing came out of the last engagement
i am wondering of other people have experienced this particular issue.
how can this issue be escalated beyond GTB?
Did you link your card to any online payment system?
This looks like a rogue loan app.
Go to GTB and report your card missing and get a new one.
This same exact thing happened to a close friend of mine who took a loan from a loan app and despite meeting his obligation fully , they were still stealing his money via his card.
They will first do a #1 deduction to check if there is money and when it goes through they will start deducting from the account by placing the required payment of about 75k then when that doesn't go through due to lack of funds they will try their luck on lower sums.
This my friend did the same thing you did by moving his funds from his account but whenever any of his business associates pays into his account they will swoop in and start stealing his money.
The only thing I will advise you is to do what I told my friend which is to request for a new debit card and stop taking loans from online loan sharks.
richmond500: There is a difference, Wike is using money to keep them. But here's the twist, with the recent court cases, he does not have the structure of both parties, he only have people that wants his money.
The people of Rivers state are not with him and he knows that. We are waiting for the coming weeks if the appeal court ruling will dismantle the council chairmen, if it does. Then that coalition will implode
Someone is building a bipartisanship coalition that is united on a political goal - the Presidency and you are hoping for one weak court case pending to decide local govt chairmen's legality to remain in office to disrupt what exactly ?
Democracy is all about bridge building , dialogue and negotiations.
Wike is doing just that and you are dismissing it .
ibabz: Let me even pretend I understand the point you’re trying to make.
Can ₦1 million today buy what it could buy five years ago? The answer is obvious. The purchasing power of Nigerians has been severely eroded.
How many civil servants can afford to buy a tokunbo car today? How many can realistically think about building a house? Even many Level 15 officers can no longer afford things that were once within reach for middle-income earners, let alone undertake major projects like home ownership.
What’s even more telling is that many civil servants now struggle to send their children to public universities without relying on NELFUND loans. These are people with stable jobs and regular salaries.
Yet, despite all this, you want people to believe these are signs of economic success and call them achievements? Please wake up and face reality. Economic policies should improve the living standards of ordinary citizens, not make survival more difficult while expecting applause.
You obidients are conformists and in no way reformists.
So you expect the FG to continue subsidizing the naira with dwindling resources in the midst of crippling population explosion that has mounted pressure on the govts ability to maintain FX subsidy to be diverted to imports while seeing to a dying manufacturing base that would have seen to employment of the teeming unemployed?
Nigerians are now aware of what other African countries were going through.
Go to Benin republic and compare the cost of fuel to what you are paying right now and you will wonder how the govt is even able to maintain such pricing without subsidy.
You guys are only angry because the FX subsidy regime is over and this is affecting your import based trading ventures.
Neyozy1: You guys expecting GEJ to speak up lacks the wisdom to understand what is called body language. GEJ is not contesting the presidential election but he is showing solidarity with the Turaki faction of the PDP hence his silence.
Which solidarity ?
These same characters that were foundational to PDP's collapse after they ensured Atiku got the ticket despite Wike floating the party for 8ys straight and being the only main opposition figure to the Buhari govt?
GEJ will never align with anything connected to Atiku.
Richtaiwo: Always on Tinubu thread typing nonsense. At least, Tinubu did this as a governor. Mention one thing, just one the agulu fraud did that endures till date. As in just one legacy of the 3rd class illiterate as the governor of Anambra State.
What he fails to understand is that other than expanding Victoria Island, the Eko Atlantic project also secured the bar beach coastline which was facing aggressive coastal erosion with the FG totally clueless and not concerned in addressing the environmental disaster that if left unchecked would have seen the entire VI swallowed by the Atlantic ocean.
This project is one that took a disaster in the making and turned it into a success.
CodeTemplar: in a country with 20MW per one million citizen, this is a great idea. He should leave space for generator ooooo. And space for borehole and underwater fence for aquatic security as well as special boat for herbal concoction sellers. Iree ooo.
This project was concieved as a PPP between Lagos and the management of Eko Atlantic and it dates back to Tinubu as governor .
Is it Lagos state that will invest in power production when this is part of the exclusive list?
The money invested here did not come from the FG. The FG only granted approval given that coastal waters and setbacks are federal territory.
Why didn't your obi invest in power generation when he was governor of Anambra ?
CodeTemplar: saner climes build up productivity before attempting to expand luxury market. You should do the shutting up and stay silent.
The only thing good about the idea that cows cannot easily enter and graze there.
The Eko Atlantic project is driven mostly by foreign investors who believe in the project.
There is no single plot left in Eko Atlantic and what stalled construction was mainly the FX markets destroyed and mismanaged by Emefile .
Most foreign investors are building here in the hopes of selling and leasing out.
They paused on investing in developing their plots because they were aware it will be difficult to repartraite their investments via the FX market under Emefile.
Go to Eko Atlantic now and see how there is massive development going on.
CodeTemplar: A typical babylonia project. You ignore the next piece of land and say you want to build a house that reaches into the heavens. One man is forced to wait for the last man to complete his house before building his upon it. It also means the foundation hass to reach the middle of the earth in order to support endless height of fool.
Very foolish idea. This is why God gave us Igbo Hausa and Yoruba. So we can disagree and stop such error and wastage.
Go and build in your village .
Did anybody beg you to come and invest in Eko Atlantic?
Besides, the war against Iran has backfired for Dubai and investors are now pulling out of Dubai
JuanDeDios: Oh, I didn't know that. So different rates for fellow Jews?
Zero interests
As a Jew you just go to the nearest synagogue , have the mandatory divk inspection to confirm your Jewishness and then tell the rabbi you need a soft loans to start any venture that will scheme the goyim.
fergie001: But he didn't counter in court he was present, he only said he didn't know what the agenda was.
That's how dubious the Mark factions is.
They will later get Nwosu to send a resignation letter purported from Gonbe that he had resigned as deputy National chairman.
There is also the Kachikwu faction that was in court seeking to have Nwosu removed long before Atiku and co gate crashed the party.
Kachikwu is before the courts claiming that Nwosu's tenure had since elapsed and was seeking from the court to have Nwosu removed and fresh elections for the party excos.
Even Gombe will still have to contend with the case brought by Kachikwu as it is Kachikwu that has a solid case since Gonbe was part of Nwosu's tenure .
So at the end, it might be Kachikwu's faction that will be recognised by the courts.
Refinedbeing: Even they played a fast one on Gombe but Atiku will win this case bro. Atiku will be on the ballot.
How?
Gonbe faction has since submitted the name of their successful presidential Primaries to INEC.
The law does not recognise substitution only in the event the flag bearer dies before the elections and that next in line to replace the dead aspirant will be whoever came second in the Primaries.
Klington: Obi's smart exit buried that joke of a party.
Obi is the smartest politician ever in the history of humanity. He's the real master strategist.
There a pending suit by PRP seeking that the court compels INEC to deregister NDC for not meeting the required minimum criteria to be recognised as a political party.
The NDC is only recognised for now by INEC due to a court ruling initiated by NDC to get INEC to recognise them as a bonafide party.
So hold your breath because it might be between APC and PRP.
