And he doesn't have to conduct elections either, he can employ transition local government chairmen and keep postponing the date of the actual election while he's building his base...and the people that will be getting money in the interim would be his guys, if they do do strong head e go place all the LGA headquarters in the state on "renovation"

If you say he has the structure, he doesn't need any transition committee. He should go ahead and conduct elections so he can win all the LGAs.

No one is stopping him from appointing caretaker committee. As long as they work from government house. The local government chairmen will remain in office and nothing will happen.

Remember, there's no state police yet. I wish him goodluck as he embarks on this renovation

......from KM 16 to 25, but Landmark is within KM 1 to 4. LOL!

Makes it less bad but does not exonerate them. If they can make an exception for the submarine cable, why not do the same for landmark and other businesses.

Theflint1:
3 months no long na, can they do 1 year? 2 years? As long as na Fubara dey in charge, those Wike loyalists have only two options... whither in die while staying loyal to Wike, or jump ship and go with Fubara... Most will stay loyal to Wike mainly cause he's still relevant at the federal level, and partly because they owe him some loyalty.

The party structure in Rivers is not all Wike's, it's Wike and Fubara's, and if Fubara plays his cards well, or Wike loses relevance at the federal level, that party structure will be all Fubara.

No be only structure.

Why does he not want to conduct local government elections since he has the structure. He knows if he's lucky, he wins one or two of all 23.

6. Mechanic only collects workmanship and should be available to go to Ajah from Ojodu if the car needs his attention. When driver knows ur mechanic can come anywhere he will not do all those stunts.

7. As much as possible let ur competent mechanic do all the repairs in d car. Not different people touching ur car. So u can track repairs.

I mentioned this the other day. This part here is extremely important. Prospective investors in the rental space must read it over and over again till it sinks in.

Once you allow drivers use any mechanic of their choice, you're asking for yourself to be scammed.

If you use any mechanic other than mine for something as simple as changing oil filter, forget about telling me talk more of asking me for the money.

There's also this tendency by some drivers to overplay every issue. While some issues require urgent attention, some do not affect the way the vehicle drives and will not cause any serious harm.

Example is hub noise. Don't come and tell me hub is making noise and you have taken it to one mechanic in Rumuokoro to change. You're on your own.

BlueRayDick:


On a serious not, the truth is; Local governments in Nigeria are more like an extension of the state government's civil service. LG chairmen are more like the governor's employees. If a state governor wants to deal with them, he can actually do that.

I have a fair understanding of Fubara's problem and I believe they are self-inflicted .

Some other governor would've just behaved like a fool, won't go confrontational with Wike early enough , conduct LG elections, then decide on dealing with Wike. If the new LG chairmen chose to side with Wike in the struggle, he will use state executive power to deal with them, deny them funding and they will not have any choice than to severe ties with Wike .

That way, he would've built his structure and be able to have a say on the next governorship election. Fubara showed his hands too early , that's why he's having all these unnecessary headache . That's why LG chairman fit dey insult him on camera.

LG chairman that accused Dapo Abiodun of seizing LG funds in Ogun state, Na the Local government excos sponsored by state government impeach am almost immediately.

It is not just about money. Infact, Emuoha LG chairman has not been given funds since February. The others have not received funds in the last one month. He has also siezed the funds of HOA members. Not a single one of them has crawled back to him.

As someone else noted, this guys know how they brought him, they know how he will be removed.

One thing I agree with is, he started too soon. I know Wike can be overbearing but he saw him like that before he agreed to run as governor.

seankafor:
bro, fubara has the states purse on lock 🔐

Na money e go take to recruit..

Fubara just dey itch hand to go gun blazing..

I dey reason person try this kind rubbish with hopeless hope for my state.. na sorry go be him name..

Different scenario. Wike controls the PDP structure in Rivers State and also controls PDP NWC.

Only way out for Fubara is to decamp to maybe LP ,build his own structure with funds and start the hijack.

BlueRayDick:


Lmao.

U were so damn sure Wike will get PDP presidential ticket, but we all know what happened eventually. Be humble and just accept it may happen or may not happen; so if doesn't happen u won't have to turn amala o

Oya na, make we dey watch.

Less than one month to go.

seankafor:
now they can remain as you said, now what if fubara installs his own and gives them funds to execute projects thereby forming different factions of LGA chairmen like they have in house..

Now different is that these LGA that is loyal to wike will be starved of funds like the 25 lawbreakers.. while fubara men will be given states funds.

Of course, he can. They will just have to operate from governors office like his illegitimate HOA members and won't be able to hijack the structure at the grassroot.

You really think the fight about control of local government is for execution of projects?

BlueRayDick:


All of these is on assumption that

1. The court pronounces judgement on or before June 17
2. The judgement favors Wike faction

Now my question is : What do u think will happen if neither of these two scenarios happen?

Lol, It's not an assumption. That is what will happen.

Itsrm:


Seat declared vacant by who? Who even told you they defected? Do you have a copy of their resignation letter from PDP?

Abi if I call channels tomorrow and say I'm a member of APC then it automatically makes me a member of APC.

Hope you also know the case was already lost in court. The court claimed those that instituted the case had no locus standi. Instead of waiting for more disappointment at the appeal court, una don declare vacant seats.

Check the date this was posted.

When people who are on ground talk, take them serious.

BlueRayDick:
itsrm What do u think will happen on June 17 if this LG chairman refuses to leave office as promised?

https://www.nairaland.com/8102448/rivers-chairman-ikwerre-l.g.a-blows

When I see people who are not on ground running their mouth on social media, I just laugh.

PDP has filed a suit to join the ongoing case in court saying that the lawmakers are still members of the PDP and did not defect. This was filed by PDPs lawyer. Remember that the supreme court has ruled on a plethora of cases that only a political party knows who it's members are. The most recent one is the kano judgment that returned Abba Yusuf

Now, once the party has said they are their members, the court has nothing else to do but declare the Martin Amaewhule faction as the legitimate HOA.

Remember they had earlier passed a law extending the tenure of local government chairmen. That law will stand, they will remain in office and nothing will happen.

We used to make fun of Nigerians in diaspora that all they do is work and pay bills. What's the difference between them and us at the moment?

BlueRayDick:


Na why I no Dey take Nigerians based abroad serious with their fake patriotism and gaslighting when they say everybody is feeling it and Tinubu is on the right path .

Person wey no Dey here Dey experience these things first hand won’t understand how bad things have gotten .

I saw the video of a cab guy dragging the steering of his car with the policeman earlier today . Most people were saying even though the policeman was wrong to be dragging the steering with the cab guy, the cab guy too should not have been risking his life , his passenger and the policeman . What most people don’t know is that the cab guy has zeroed his mind . He was ready to end it all and would rather take take the policeman with him than follow him to station where he will be extorted.


A lot of people are going crazy silently with everything that’s happening in the economy . People are losing their heads. And like the author of those tweets said , the government is sitting on a keg of gunpowder .

I had not thought of it like this but you're absolutely right. Just watching that video was so terrifying. Now imaging being in the vehicle in that guys shoes. Person wey never even chop since morning, police wan extort am another 20-50k. He was ready to end it all

Madam was telling me the other day people no longer buy food to eat in the office.

The situation at the moment is critical.

This guy puts it as best as I possibly can

TheAlchemist:


Point of correction, you can get your interest upfront not only with fairmoney, but with similar banks such as renmoney.. Given that you can get your your interest upfront does it make fairmoney more attractive and if it does not.... what interest rate on davings deposit will make you decide to dump treasury bill/bond investments.

Also I invested in stanbic ibtc money market fund and I did not get my interest upfront or am I missing something.

Are you sure about that? If true then it certainly makes fairmoney more attractive but I won't do it. The risk/reward is not worth it in my view.

You don't get interest upfront with mutual funds.

TheAlchemist:
Please is fairmoney 26% inrerest pa on fixed savings more attractive than investing in treasury Bill's or bond?

FGN is giving you roughly 25% net of charges if you reinvest your interest.

Even if you take the interest upfront which you can't do with fairmoney, you have the opportunity to use it in advance in this high inflationary period.

I'm not seeing any attraction with fairmoney. The only reason anyone will put money there in my view is ignorance of NTBs.

Today is the day bookies will cashout on Leverkusen.

Shey I said it the other day. It will happen when no one least expects. Expecting tears all over twitter

awesomeJ:
Rates changed today.

Rubbish. If the idea of increasing MPR is to attract FPIs, of what use will it be if they won't increase rates.

Elui2:


Does it mean people invest without knowing the rate for for a particular auction?

Pardon me I am new here

Exactly. You can only speculate based on previous auction. That's why some people miss out when they submit bids above the CBN stop rate.

CrystalTiger:
The kind of lies we'll hear tomorrow, lol

yesman:
Good morning all,

I have a question regarding treasury bill rate at primary auction.

Cbn increased interest rate yesterday to 26.25%. Will this have any impact on the treasury bill rate at next auction?

The last increase to 24.75 did not. No one knows for sure what CBN will do. We have to wait till we see the result of today's auction.

There's something called resignation Fubara. How can a state governor be this dumb? How well is it working out for Emefiele who was also acting based on approvals?

Franknerd:




How is this possible? The first quote here was what you gave as clearing cost for 2006 Ford Explorer.

Then the second quote you gave for 2012 Ford Explorer.

Is 2006 model more expensive to clear?

2006 or 2012 and up to 2015 cost the same to clear. The difference in the quote is likely due to exchange rate. As the rate fluctuates, so does cost of clearing.

Odunharry:

Depends on the institution. Some receive bids Tuesday

Yes. He was specific about fbn

Streetinvestor2:
I don't understand this fbn guys.i went today for primary market TB for tomorrow. They said it is late already. So when Is one supposed to go for it.The guy thr said that fbn only accept bids on Monday. Pls anyone that uses fbn for it.Is it how is done in fbn

Only on Monday is wrong but Monday is the deadline for any auction week.

Djdamian:


One major reason why car rentals is considered DOA. Most drivers tend to blame failure to remit money on car faults, whether it's true or not. It's typically the driver who determines whether the car is in good condition or not, giving them significant control in the situation.

Consider this: which rational owner would knowingly provide a faulty car for rentals? And who typically ends up losing at the end of the day?

IMO, this business model only favors drivers not owners

When I was fully into it, I designate one day for the car to rest. I don't enforce it but if you say the car has issues, you have that one day to fix it without affecting my weekly payment.

Most faults that appear in cars used for ehailing can be fixed in one day by a mechanic that knows what he's doing.

The drivers must also use my mechanic who I must add is trustworthy for all fixes. That way, they can't lie about faults.

Rentals worked so well for me. I only stopped when cost of car parts skyrocketed and drivers were not willing to pay more than the 25k they were paying.

If the cars were in Lagos where I could collect 35-40k weekly, I would never have stopped.

izzou:




I no know whether he forgot the subtraction of 9 from 12

No shame at all

OasisX:




......let me add other parts you accidentally missed out, even though we all know what we are doing.

No Exploration in the last 12yrs, but you wanna blame it on Administration of less down a year?! LOL!

9 of that 12 no be APC?

In 2032, una go begin tell us how another APC administration is less than one year.
