What would you have the president do? Fold his arms while miscreants blow up national assets?

Fubara said he was going to give the youth instructions at the right time, though he does not support violence but.....

Then the state government didn't release any statements concerning the two explosions. Fubara doesn't understand politics.

Just few days ago, Jega warned and told him to be careful not to play into the hands of his opponent.

“They can only remove from office but can’t kıll me” – Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara

"The highest they can do is remove me from office, but that won't change God's plan for me tomorrow. My focus remains on delivering the best for the people of Rivers State."

With these words, Governor Fubara is showing his commitment to the people of Rivers State and his trust in a higher power. He's making it clear that he won't be distracted by critics or opposition, and that his priority is the welfare and progress of his constituents.

We love the confidence and humility. What do you think about Governor Fubara's statement?

fullclub:
The debate around relocating abroad (“Japa”) has intensified after media personality Dele Momodu claimed that anyone who spends ₦30 million to leave Nigeria is a fool. His statement sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing while others says that that 30 million is nothing compared to the financial reward that comes with japa

Having lived in the UK for some time now, I’ll share an honest perspective on the financial reality of life here, especially for those considering selling anything just for relocation.

Breaking Down Earnings in the UK

For context, I work an average of 36 hours per week (9 hours daily for 4 days), meaning in a month, I clock 144 hours of work.

Minimum wage in the UK is £11.44 per hour, and most employers are required to pay this, except in cases like apprenticeships.
144 hours × £11.44 = £1,647.36 per month
After tax deductions, which depend on factors like number of jobs and tax codes, my take-home pay is around £1,479.55.


Monthly Expenses in the UK
Here’s a breakdown of my fixed monthly costs:

House rent – £700
Gas & electricity – £120
Council tax – £110
Water bill – £43.46
Food – £200
Transport – £140
Phone bill – £52 (for two people

Total expenses: £1,365.46
Remaining balance: £114.09
Although i could have chosen to work up to 5 days which would have given me total income of 2059 and 1775 after tax but to give my partner a chance while i take turn to look after the kids

Note: food is extremely cheap and affordable unlike in Nigeria. That's why most that relocated after few months they look revived and fresh grin

Now, factor in additional responsibilities. We send £150 monthly to family back home in Nigeria. My wife, who works part-time (two days per week because of our baby as leaving the children will risk losing them to the governmen), earns about £732 per month, which we try to save, though unforeseen expenses (baby food, transport, etc.) often reduce our savings to around £500 per month.
Aside this we spent over 4000 pounds this year alone for health insurance. Yes its a must you pay it and funny enough i have not visited the hospital once since i arrived.

More worrisome is the endless billing from home , the billing from friends and extended family is out of this world, from your pastor who want tithe in pounds and thinks it's because of his or her prayer u went out, to your siblings, to your inlaws, to secondary schools friends, university's friends to even your street guys to Facebook friends. Those who will quickly open Opay account for their 3 years old child and forward you school fees or birthday bill. What about those who forwarded us their house rent bill to help clear their rent of over 500k embarassed abeg na

A lot of Nigeria said if they are offered 50 million and japa, they will prefer japa as they will earn more over when i read this comment on Facebook i just laugh hard as this is not the case as a research said that over 39% of UK residents have a minimum of 1000 pounds as savings this means that Despite earning in pounds, many struggle with high living costs, taxes, and bills but on the other hand In Nigeria, ₦50M can fund investments that generate steady income.
In the UK, unless you’re in a high-paying field, you will mostly live paycheck to paycheck


Comparing Life as a Single vs. Married Individual Abroad


Single individuals have a higher chance of saving since they have fewer responsibilities.

Married couples without kids can maximize their earnings by both working full-time while covering expenses from one salary and saving entirely the other salary.

Families with children face higher expenses, including childcare, health insurance, visa fees.

This is why adequate preparation is crucial before relocating, especially for families


Is Dele Momodu Right? Should You Japa with ₦30M?
We should understand that Dele Momodu is an elder and vastly traveled and he knows what is obtainable in Europe and America.
His point is valid if you look at finances alone because at the ene of the day almost all you make goes back to the system. But If insecurity concerns and food inflation in Nigeria didn’t exist, staying back with ₦30M would be a better financial decision as you could expand your business.

Another thought is the issue of owning a house. An average 3 bedroom house cost over 300k pounds and i have worked with colleagues who are in their late 50s struggling to work and pay off their mortgage so as to be free while me in my 30s own over 3 house back in Nigeria . Some pays mortgage for over 35 to 40 years but shockingly most they end up selling it at old age hand over this money to care homes to take care of them till death. Note children dont have any responsibility of taking care of their age parents they leave their lives while the parents uses proceed from their house to offset this bill

Final Thoughts: Should You Japa?

Japa is not a one-size-fits-all decision. If you have ₦30M and solid income streams in Nigeria, it might be wiser to invest and build wealth at home. But if safety and quality of life matter more, than wealth accumulation then relocating might still be the best option but must be done tactically especially when coming on student visa as one academic error could throw u off.

Bottom line: Japa is not a magic solution—it requires careful planning, a realistic mindset, and financial discipline.

Picture below is my phone bill

There other bills i chose to ignore like the tv bill. I didn't buy tv because i know that one will end in another billing
if u make upto 1m monthly in Nigeria and u decide to relocate abroad u are mad.when they cite insecurity and all in Nigeria I laugh.wigwe left unsecure Nigeria to go and die in secure USA.life na God hand e Dey.when my kids finish uni here they will go and do masters abroad.thats d standard.

In what many have described as a miracle, a car carrying several indigenous people of Enugu was riddled with bullets as they narrowly escaped an attempted kidnapping by armed men suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.

The terrifying incident occurred in Enugu State, where the assailants, reportedly carrying AK-47 rifles, opened fire on the vehicle. Fortunately, the passengers and driver managed to evade the attack and escape unharmed.

Adeseyi Ogunlewe, Former Lawmaker, Lagos East Senatorial District has said for many men, it is almost impossible not to glance at Sen. Natasha when she passes by.

"It is a natural instinct for men to admire beautiful women. However, sexual harassment in Nigeria remains a significant issue."

For Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan's suspension, Ogunlewe further said the senate went on a frolic, presented a self-serving report.

"It is not uncommon for a Senate to make mistakes; however, the structure of the Senate includes provisions designed to prevent such errors. We have the Committee on Judiciary and Legal Matters, which could have been given the opportunity to review this matter. Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan is the sixth senator to be suspended, and the court has vehemently frowned upon previous suspensions."
