Most Sunnis also care deeply about the Palestinians (it's difficult not to) but leadership is what's making the difference between the two groups more glaring.

The Shia world, led by Iran is far more intelligent and more loyal to whatever cause it sets its mind to.

The Sunnis on the other hand are led by less intelligent, selfish and treacherous people, mostly Arab leaders.

The Arab gulf countries for instance are led by Kings who wouldn't allow even protests in support of the Palestinians because of the fear of being toppled.
Saudi Arabia cracked down on a group of people PRAYING for Palestine.

The Gulf countries are too rich and too few in population to allow hot headedness or militarism dictate their foreign policy

Only 6m of Saudi 30m population are Saudis, the rest are immigrants

Only 300k of Qatar 3m population are Qatari, the rest are immigrants

Only 1m of UAE 10m population are Emirati, the rest are immigrants

Only 1.4m of Kuwait 4.5m population are Kuwaiti, the rest are immigrants

Only half of Bahrain 1.5m population are Bahraini, the rest are immigrants

50% of Oman are immigrants

Of the native populations of these countries, half are millionaires and the other half are very comfortable and all will run at the sound of gunshot. The Indians and other immigrants will be the first to run

So what business do these Gulf countries have in doing hothead like Iran that have the population and the HUNGER to fight. Their demographics are not war demographics simple.

Their Kings know what is best for them and are towing the correct route of diplomacy, trade and soft life because none of them are built for war. That's why they have security pacts with USA and will call USA the minute Kuwait for example is invaded by Saddam.

Please, don't suffocate Ibime my homie.

There is never a question of oil going unsold, even Iran a pariah state sells oil. Talk about gas and who has replaced their gas sales to EU?

Stephen a struggling lesson teacher in Benin complaining about N600 a litre fuel while celebrating high global oil prices. Exercise in stupidity.

Every fool knows oil price was very high in October and fell in November when data showed USA produced 13m barrels a day and that slumped the price of crude. That's what Putards do, wait till one month when oil price ramp up to deceive their fellow illiterates. Why didn't you produce November picture or the full year picture?

Nawa o

This is politics taken too far

Do you know who this woman is?

She is Asari Dokubo sister

So Asari has played his cards

Is Naira a foundation? Stabilise Naira, stabilise Naira. Na bare hands dem dey take stabilise Naira?

The people with Fubara are they the type of people that matter? Let me break t down, Are they the warlords? You think the opinion of Uniport student or regular trader on the street is same with those creek lords?

As long as creeklords are okay and getting settled, they will be loyal to whoever is settling them and there will be peace.

Tompolo one of the biggest loyalists to GEJ ate well during Buhari and didnt say a word throughout while average Rivers people hated Buhari, The creeklords were okay with Buhari

Pressure from the people seem to be building on the warlords. See below

Ibime:
Asari done play him card

BlueRayDick:
I just saw this security advisory now. Dem say heavily armed "Dem Mama Soldiers" flow join the "peaceful" protest

Asari done play him card

raumdeuter:
Na so o

Fubara if he does 8yrs will bow pick his own person and be godfather like we saw with Wike Oshiomole and Obaseki who all fought godfather to become godfathers

Now I think na the Rochas options godfather go dey do now. Pick your family member as successor so chances of betrayal will be smaller

Fubara can pick but he cannot control

It's hard enough controlling your successor in Rivers (never been achieved) talk less of doing so from a minority tribe

Although Itsrm got the timing for this agenda wrong [/color]

Timing is everything

TrebleChamp:
Wike picked the Governor, his Commissioners, other appointees and all House of Assembly members. Wike even boasted that he paid for the nomination forms all the Candidates including Fubara for the 2023 Election. If our assumption that Fubara told the Commissioners to resign is true, then it means he is purging Wike's men from his Cabinet and putting his own. Make we dey watch as e dey go...

If the above is correct, any commissioner wey no gree resign is creating enmity with Wike and putting themselves in line for you know what

GloriousGbola:
AIG of it shall not be well with them fame

Benin civil service will collectively shit their pants if that slave driver enters. The man will follow through on sacking teachers and damn the consequences

Fun fact AIG son was on Nairaland bearing the full name AIG Imokhuede as his username. He was fairly active on sports section

DangoteIvy:
How do U mean?
Do U mind throwing a bit more light?
Are U tryna say ALICE utility is obsolete?

New bullrun, new meta

Alice may enjoy gaming narrative pump but not in and of itself.

Every new bullrun, forget the old coins from before, people are looking for clear skies and price discovery not tokens with bag holders that just want to exit

This run we have INJ, TIA setting pace for L1S with SOL becoming the new BSc

We have Bitcoin ordinals like Ordi, Mubi and SATS setting pace

AI narrative is there, and FET will set pace

Gaming will also be there. Bigtime is making noise, and we are looking for the Axie of this run, of which Big-time is a contender. Your Alice may collect some tailwind in the weeks when Gaming narrative pumps

Itsrm:
Why not just sack them to prove a point?

Hmmm, didn't think of that

Bodies will soon start dropping in Rivers, just a matter of time

Itsrm:
I can't also make sense of the commissioners resigning beyond proving their allegiance and loyalty to Wike. Some are saying SIM is forcing them to resign but that makes no sense to me.

I would bet that Sim is forcing them to resign. I would believe Wike would want his people to infiltrate Sims canp

Melvyn11:
I mean compared to someone like Asari.

Yes, he controls the whole of Delta, compared to Rivers where 4 warlords have their spheres of influence, but he still has no strength outside Delta. He only has small working relationship with Boyloaf in Bayelsa

BoldBrainz:
I'll give an arm to see the look on Ibime's face right now.

This is the US telling Zelensky, it was nice doing business with you. This is when the clown is to begin learning the real lessons. I only pity Ukrainians in all of this.

This is not the US but the far-right Republican element blocking the bill, who have always been pro-Putin. Once they get their own Pork written into the bill, the bill would be passed. But I don't expect a typical Putard to know how US politics works .

B then C then A

Melvyn11:
Asari and Government Tompolo are not mates. Tompolo is a strong stakeholder in the entire Niger Delta region unlike Asari that's just a noise maker.

Tompolo hand no reach Rivers. At best he get small connection for Bayelsa with Boyloaf

Sell all players with dreads to turn this club around

OasisX:


.....all his antics na wash. He forgets its PBAT he's dealing with. Mumu said Tinubu is like father to him. He dey tell story how PBAT helped him in time of need - coz he wants to hijack tompolo's contract.

PBAT don weigh the options, its better to keep Tompolo than to handover the contract to our darling Mujahideen. LOL!

Nobody is trying to hijack anybody. They are supporting each other to get contracts in their own regions

Asari Dokubo does not have locus standi to oversee contracts in Delta, likewise Tompolo does not have locus standi for Rivers

Itsrm:
That's what I expected too. This their flight don even tire person. They should leave it till 2031 so the guy can govern. As it stands, nothing is happening in the state. Maybe that will change with the budget they just passed.

As Jimmy Henchmen once said to 2Pac after arranging his shooting at Quad studio - "you ain't got ya money right so you can't go to war with me"

2Pac replied 2 years later on Against all odds - "You said don't go to war unless I got my money right. Now I got my money right, I want war"

Basically Rivers money will start going to Simi war chest. War is very expensive and developments will slow down. He basically needs to buy out Wike whole grassroots structure with financial incentives, from thugs to LGA to delegates to house to Judiciary to Godfathers. You can't fight Wike with bare hands.

WhoDeyHause:
Lmao, 70 years old man thought huffing and puffing will make tinubu give him tompolo's pipeline contract just like that, with that his big stomach I can build three storey building inside make I call my guy ballzproblem nwannem to follow me flex with some big booty beeches inside
He is nothing but a mumu man.

He is actually moaning about Tinubus support for Wike if you read between the lines, because he is blaming Tinubu for the fracas in Rivers State (by supporting Wike)

Ijaw nationalism has got to him. At first he was saying that Wike and Fubara beef no concern am because he is not party to their agreement

Right now Ijaw people dey para for Wike and slowly it is making Ijaw henchmen in Wike camp to position themselves carefully

Realmrsean:
dont you think tinubu will sit this one out with hands akimbo trying to see how much power wike wields ? he might give them{fubara and wike} level playing ground by been neutral and watching how event unfolds..


many people are keenly watching how ths will go down..

but one thing is sure, there is no making up between this 2 as the level of damage and fall out is far unprecedented

Tinubu will back the winner, but whatever happens they cannot be allowed to cause chaos in Rivers State where a good portion of the countries revenue comes from

Wickes head is too hot. He was told to wait till next election and remove Fubara in the primaries but him nyash dey scratch am

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So the two ediots that decamped didn't count the cost yesterday, abi na balls dem no get?

Mtcheeeeew

Wike should behead them politically for such show of shame.[/color]

The two decampees are Ijaw. Their people pressure is telling on them. Make we see how the Ikwerres go react first

Jay Jay Okocha

Very remarkable and fantastic player during his time

Which year did he deserve it and what was his achievement that year?

Realmrsean:
one thing I like this fubara for is that he is no cócksucker..

Prior to now, I thought 💭 been a nobody before wike made him gorvernor will make him bend his ass over for wike to be fuckin him recklessly

I have seen he is as hardened as he comes and I like people who holds their own when it comes to a fight even if they later loose..

Fubara is following Amaechi playbook. Amaechi closed courts in Rivers for 2 years so there won't be judgement against him
