Is it possible that you na streets so you feel safe in an unsafe land?

Your nickname might actually be It's Real Mafioso

No, not at all. The land itself is safe.

This year, if we remove election violence, the only( I stand to be corrected) major crimes we've had happened on Rumuokoro flyover where two policemen were killed and a cult clash in Diobu where two cultists lost thier lives.

Most guys these days are either into politics, bunkery or are pressing thier laptops. Everyone wants to drive the latest cars and carry the most beautiful girls.

Wetin dey make me laugh na the fact say you dey live for PH, but dem say you dey lie.



Make i dey argue say Texas no safe with Dayo, or Enugu no safe with Okpa[/color]

After dropping the kids in school, my first stop was somewhere around Waterlines. When I finished, I went to Rumukwurushi, came to Rumuola road, went to Rumuigbo and from Rumuigbo back to Odili road to pick the kids from school before going home.

I'm not the typical PH resident who just goes to house from the office and back to the house. I am fully on ground

Anyone living in this state will also tell you that there's no way a major crime or violence will escape 94.1. Thanks to raumdeuter, it's now very easy to tune in.

I really cannot agree with anyone who labels this state violent.

A nice tokumbo 2010 corolla is around N4.8m - N5.3m. If it was your vehicle and you were looking for someone to take it on hp, how much will you feel is fair to ask as a total price?

Maybe they should not be buying 2010 corollas and looking for drivers to kill with unreasonable terms

BlaqFaze:
In the space of one month Wike won elections for Apc and then for Pdp singlehandedly with each of them having a significant margin.

He just showed to Atiku and the rest of Pdp how mighty he is.

They should have asked Ameachi how far.

OasisX:



BREAKING: PDP reverse suspension on Governor Ortom, Fayose and 4 others.

Wike wins...... cc itsrm.

Maybe people will start giving Wike the credit he deserves.

For all his flaws, one thing you can't take from him is that he is a brilliant politician.

[color=royalblue]I no sabi Rivers sha

But my friends over there have not complained about insecurity. One left Lagos and got to PH around 11, and he still went home.

We dey learn from una sha [/color]

They can't complain.

I just entered the house. On my way and as always, I saw people moving around in peace and I was wondering if this is the violent Rivers.

Anytime all those your waka pass PH let me know make I show you the "violent" Rivers

izzou:

Where are you in this Rivers discussion?[/color]

My opinion has been well documented in previous pages. The state is largely peaceful. Anyone who argues otherwise does not live here or is an alarmist.

obainojazz:
One Rivers guy I met back then said they be militants lol…. Rivers, Delta and Edo are be careful areas… You can lose your life wearing the wrong clothing combination.

People are forgetting everyday obtaining going on there… where they corner you and take your phone

Many youths don belong and if you’re a good boy…. You might not notice what’s happening in your city

Is this not contradictory? How can you on one hand argue that someone is widespread and then say it can be happening and you won't notice?

It is widespread, the media is not reporting it, local radio stations are avoiding it, those who live in the state are hiding it or are not noticing but those who don't even live in the state know everything about the violence in the state.

Make una continue

chrisxxx Seatrade mrksquare please what's the security situation in Rivers state now.

Oga your are wrong, those things no longer happens. I won't waste my time engaging in a needless back and forth with you as it's evident that you're not willing to yield grounds. When I have make and female friends moving around freely at any time of the day, if it was so bad, why would they be willing to come and see me by 12, 1 or even 2am.

Disstroys mind is made up. Nothing you say will change it

DissTroy:
Man, let's even focus on PHALGA which is the capital of Rivers. Can you beat your chest that you can walk around Mile 1 unscathed by 9PM? Let's not even go into Ogbunabali.

Do I come across like someone who doesn't know how Rivers State works or doesn't know just about every nook and cranny there is?

Abonema, Degema and the likes have kidnappings, shootouts, and killings EVERY SINGLE DAY! Everyday.
It's rough in Port Harcourt but outside of Port Harcourt is Wild West in very direction.

Why won't I walk in Mile 1 by 9PM with solar street lights everywhere from Mile 1 down to UST roundabout? That's even ignoring the fact that there are two major police stations on that stretch.

How do people who work in filing stations, eateries and offices who close late go to their houses? You think they book bolt? Are you saying they are all robbed or kidnapped?

The fact that the state or to be specific PHC city is largely peaceful is not even up for debate. Again, you don't have to believe me. Ask people who live here.

DissTroy:
It's not propaganda. Rivers State has a deep-rooted culture of violence. Once you access the state from Onne or Oyingbo, you'd be greeted with slangs used by clandestine groups.
Violence or the threat of it is celebrated in every part too. Every single part.

Up until 2015 or 2016, it was an anomaly to find a teenage boy who either hasn't been initiated into these devious groups, affiliated to them, or posturing as one. Even till date. They don't hide - they brag about it. From Obigbo to Eleme to Abua to D-Line and on to Emuoha and beyond, violence, vices, and thuggery are woven into the social lifestyles of the everyday person.

No kind of violence or vice the mind can conjure is impossible in Rivers State.



Violence, isolated, and Rivers State do not match. There's at least one case of this in Mile 1, Port Harcourt every other month. And this is just a small part of PHALGA.
Kidnappings are happening every single day in Rivers State. It's become so commonplace, the local media seem to ignore it.

This is not true. I have bolt drivers who are on the road 12-15 hours everyday moving from one place to another.

My work also involves a lot of movement here and there. If the frequency is as high as you paint it, I certainly will know about it.

You don't have to believe me, ask 5-10 people who reside in the state to tell you what they think about the state as regards crime, insecurity and violence.

Again, I'm not saying these things don't happen but they are insignificant.

BlueRayDick:
Oh! So this did not happen as well ?

The state is now largely peaceful unlike before. Word on the street is even that this is the most peaceful election we have had. That is not to say that there are no criminals here and there.

Infact, I have personally witnessed a kidnapping incidence along transamadi road in broad day light. Only one vehicle separated me from that of the man who was kidnapped.

They pointed the gun at him, he opened the door, they put him in their own vehicle and left his vehicle right there in the middle of the road with the door open.

This and a few others are isolated cases. They don't tell the actual story

He should start by deleting the ethnic, racial and sectarian subsection.

Havertz10:
If Bayern sacked him for tuchel because he wasn’t good enough, why do you guys assume that he is good enough for Chelsea

I don’t even understand how most of you think, so short-sighted.

Bayern also sacked Ancelotti. He has won the La liga and UCL with Madrid

obainojazz:
Probably same in Bayelsa… na the community go suffer am

Wetin concern them even if the community suffers? I've since realised that the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. It's just unfortunate that you can't always ignore them.

One time the hoodlums sabotaged the fibre to the "Hq" of an oil firm. The vendor went to fix the fibre and he was stopped. They demanded for 30 million naira before it can be fixed.

What they didn't realise was that it was the secondary fibre they damaged. There's a primary fibre that the company was using when the secondary was down. God so good, the primary fibre was up all through that period.

Na so dem ignore them.

Eventually it was N15,000 they paid to fix the fibre

If they had shown desperation, I don't think they would have escaped with anything less than 500k

larride:
How come I was now seeing pictures that the Bodo to Bonny road is almost completed?

I'll reconfirm the actual state of things from my neigubour who is an ogoni man. He went home during the last election to vote for Magnus Abe and should have first hand information.

obainojazz:
Nigerians sef share for most of the problems we facing… They’ll be stopping road works so government can settle them.

Na so Rivers state be. You can't do any project here without carrying the community along. Every company has a community liason officer.

All fibre vendors to the major telcos have community boys on their payroll. It's either that or they will keep damaging the fibre and there's nothing you can do about it

larride:
This Buhari FG never complete the Bonny road?

Road wey dem don abandon since God knows how long. I heard there were issues with some of the communities but they were never really serious about it.

Segedinho:
Mr Raumdeuter is not in Nigeria n understand what is happening...


At 180...we are lamenting about d cost of bags of rice at 50k....

Just imagine something

Subsidy is perhaps the only thing the masses enjoy from the government

In Rivers State where I live, there is no single major federal government project since 1999 that we can say we have benefited from. The subsidy we are managing, they want to add it to their loot.

Segedinho:
Fix light n d refinery .


Gain d trust of the masses by bringing corrupt leaders to book.

If possible,cut down unnecessary spendings

We all know that none of these solutions will work. Subsidy has to remain.

Tinubu and the APC did not just spend hundreds of millions or perhaps billions of naira to campaign just to cut down unnecessary spendings.

None of una dey watch Naija match?

OasisX:
Politics is a messy game.

When I talk, they say I'm overating Wike.

Wike is the most powerful governor in Nigeria today. You don't mess with him.

raumdeuter:
Its this phased removal thing they have been selling to us for the past 20yrs and nothing has changed. If we don't do it, in another 20yrs we will be talking about subsidy removal while a few will be feeding fat on the subsidy money

Weren't you advocating for subsidy removal before election or did I mix you with someone else? Maybe it was itsrm

I'm 100% in support of subsidy removal but only if the government of Nigeria is privatised and given to a private company that can be held accountable to run.

These ones will steal 60% of whatever is being saved

When Amaechi wanted to do the monorail, two firms bidded. An indegeneous and a foreign firm. The foreign firm bidded 21bn to get the job done, the other bidded 50bn. I'm sure you already know who Ameachi gave the job.

I can't trust these politicians with subsidy removal. It's just more money for them to steal.

Theflint1:
I'm targeting 250-300 litres, I work from home, so whatever I'm storing would be primarily to fuel gen when devices are down and at night. One of my neighbours said he's going to store 1000 litres, have another that always stores fuel throughout the year, scarcity or not, and he has at least 15 jerrycans. Store according to how you use....

Interesting.

A001:
The measure is for domestic use at home

That one no be problem na. If fuel no dey for gen, everybody go rest. As long as we can charge phone with power banks and laptops

A001:
That's just a temporary measure when everywhere go red with protests and riots here and there till things calm down and go back to normal.

I get now. Movement will be restricted if there's riot reducing the need for fuel

Theflint1:
The hand of Buhari, the voice of BAT.

Now is the time to stock as much fuel as possible, and as safely as possible.

How much fuel can you realistically store? My vehicle has a tank capacity of 75 litres, madams vehicle 65 litres. I use mine in a week, hers lasts for 2-3 weeks.

At best, even if I manage to store 140 litres of fuel, it will finish in two weeks.

Perhaps there's something you're seeing that I'm not seeing. Show us the way

..... you gonna have to manage them bro. Na our cross for next 8yrs be that.

I thought its time to soft pedal due to Ramadan

I was going to respond but this was the same guy who refused every form of explanation and stuck with the narrative that Remi Tinubu was being condescending towards Igbos

What goes around comes around

Much more errors these are just samples like the VVD compilation will go for 30mins

Your own case is understandable. Thiago Silva cannot do anything right in your eyes
