You started very well but you ended the write up with foolishness

The funny thing is he's an igbo person.

israelmao:
Then where is democracy or is it now demonstration of craze as Fela used to sing?

A state of emergency is not your democratically elected government. Parts of your so called rights are shelved if need be.

mrksquare:
There is no contraption as sole administrator in our constitution. Get that into your skull. The man is an impostor. And Tinubu does not have power to suspend a democratically elected governor and the House of Assembly to start with. Section 305 is very explicit about it. We should refrain from normalizing illegality.

If Ibas wants to exercise the functions of governor, he should go to Cross Rivers state and vie as a governor.

Obviously, your skull is too young to remember that Obasanjo appointed Sole administrators in two different states. Goodluck Jonathan also declared state of emergency in 3 states even though he decided not to remove the governors as they all joined to focus on attacking Boko Haram.

Well,a I don't know which constitution you're reading nor the one the presidents are using to exercise these powers but it's of no use digressing further.

Once again, Ibas does not want anything, focus on Tinubu. Until you learn to know what is the source of a problem, you will find it hard to get properly oriented in discuss.

mrksquare:
Go back to your State impostor and contest any election as governor. You have no place in Rivers state.

This comment makes no sense because he's not contesting for anything in Rivers State either. Anyone old enough in this should understand how sole administrator works, they don't care about state of origin. For example, Tanko Zubairu from the north was the administrator for Imo state till 1999 civilian handover.
If we have any issues, we focus on Tinubu that appointed him. Nigerians need to learn about intricacies of situations instead of running around matters like headless chicken.
Let's hit the nail at the head and stop being distracted on Vice Admiral Ibas.

donleo92:
See this thief ooooooh...

On a norm are you meant to sit on the governors sit. Abi na because people just keep quiet?

Oga you should be lucky self to even be in rivers government house as an administrator. People are waiting for you after your 6months, you go give account of all rivers money

Sounds like you're new to the world or reality.
I don't support him but there's no power inside Rivers that's above him. Anybody that wants to should go and challenge the Gazzette from Abuja. So the protests are just looking for something else.

tiswell:
Putin is not a hardcore, he's a liberal Christian

Liberal? Go to Russia and see many religious groups including those of christianity that are currently under ban, heavy prosecution and torture.

SmartPolician:
Atiku cannot hold that office twice.

Is there a law that says so?
Goodluck was also a VP

bizbro:
It will happen eventually. Pope Francis was the first Pope not from Europe in a long time...

Not from Italy you mean? lol
Pope Francis was from Argentina but he was Italian.

livebullet:
You mean to the Jesus system?

Cos I wonder what you mean by Catholic system...

They said Catholic system. Don't twist their words. Those are two different things.

essentialone1:
3 most likely Cardinals to emerge as the Next Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, now that Pope Francis has died, are:


1. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle from Philippines.
2. Cardinal Peter Turkson from Ghana.
3. Cardinal Robert Sarah from Guinea.

Anything is possible but for now we dey play..

Ishilove:
How long was he the Pope? I don't know why the only Pope comes to my mind whenever I think of the Catholic papacy is John Paul II.

Oh well, now you can rest, baba.

Honestly, sometimes John Paul ii sticks to the mind as if he was still the pope currently. Guess he was more popular or accessible. I don't really know.

NigeriaIsGreat:
can a Southern candidate defeat Tinubu? Jonathan can't contest again according to what I've read so far, Osinbajo isn't that popular like Obi and the South East might not vote for him like they did for Obi. Obi on the other hand, Atiku, Elrufai and Kwankwaso will not want to deputise him and I don't think there's any other strong candidate in the north that can clear the northern votes apart from those 3 guys mentioned.

It seems hard for another southerner to be given the chance even by fellow southerners for a fresh 8yr start instead of just kicking Tinubu out in '27 or '31.

On the other hand, Atiku was already vice President once. El Rufai and Kwankwaso have no excuse, neither are they much more older nor too experienced to Deputize Peter Obi.
It's either they do it directly (Joe Biden) or they do so indirectly (Tinubu via osibanjo) if they're any serious about their presidential ambitions.
For example, If Obi rejoins Atiku as VP or Atiku throws his camp and a VP candidate behind Obi right now, it'll be insurmountable and probably the fastest chance to realise his presidential bid.

emoboy4u:
Lol, I cringe at the way you people bastardize white collar jobs. Yes I agree, there some that can be useless but there are a lot that are good too.
The truth is entrepreneurship and 9-5 can coexist. You don't have to demean one to praise the other.

This should have been your mic drop statement without any further ado. Don't ever try to drag white collar with blue collar. Dem no reach but the best is for those few who are able to mix both powers together. EDUCATION=SCHOOL+SKILL

An average Graduate trainee of a Nigerian bank get nothing less than 300k per month, that's about 13k per day if you divide by 22 working days. This is a fresh graduate with a 2.2/2.1 in any course and an NYSC certificate, no experience whatsoever.

Tell me what business will net you about 4Million annually without investing 10x as capital.

That's a naive question. Ordinary 13k daily? Let me start with some of the most ludicrous ideas. I don't want to stress with fancy jobs
Sample locations:
Aba, Owerri, Ihiala, Okija, Aba, Ohafia LGA,

Sample ventures (p.s: independent startups not joined together with each other)
Before I go into mechanics, vulcanisers, welders, Restaurant, Bakers, Pastries and or small chop vendors, etc, let me just list some of these ones for you
Barbing salon
Charging centre
Sinking borehole siddon dey sell water
Ice cream sellers (those ones with stool selling 50/100naira inside secondary schools)
Wheel barrow pusher🤷🏻‍♂️
Truck and Tipper loaders/Off loaders 🚛
Any of these can even make that 13k before 1pm.

emoboy4u:

..Tell me what business will net you about 4Million annually without investing 10x as capital.

Tell me in what ward, LGA, state, country or continent where the richest person list is made up of people living on white collar jobs.

Love800:
Who tell you say laundry business na daily pay? E be like say customers never owe you money before, na dat time you go regret why you start laundry!

I don't entertain people with dyslexic approach to my comment. You have no right to misconstrue my statement and try to impose it on me.
I guess all these laundry that became chain business and erected their own branded buildings, was it this same mentality of yours that they used to get that level or customers no longer pay during dropoff or collection of their wears!?
Whatever floats your boat sha.

Tenrack:
abeg gimme daily income ideas wey I fit venture into. I dey Ajegunle apapa Lagos. The ghetto

As Nigeria take be, A charging centre of course POS must join inside
Depending on the space,
Add laundry & barbing services. If possible PlayStation games for young guys.
But just one or two plus the charging is a good start.

surgical:
Jonathan is not qualified to contest, he has been sworn in twice

Nope, he was only voted in once.
How many times was Peter Obi sworn in as Anambra State governor?

mrvitalis:
Have you ever bought land in South East?

Bia, Where exactly is this your "southeast"? Land are available for 100-300k or even less.
Which farmland did you see that's expensive? Someone called you online writer and you were crying but here you're proving them right with your continued jargons?
All those 1,000 hectares etc that are being bought regularly for university or estates, how much were they sold for? Once you're talking about bulk purchase, it most likely involves government allocation of the community land and just a fraction of land cost will be paid. 5 million naira per hectare self is expensive and you were busy shouting 50million with your full chest.

relaxfun:
Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

I don't know where you are from nor why you want to leave Lagos. Maybe you're not from there or you want to stay away from familiar pressure but your plan is good.
Don't focus only on major towns and state capitals There are some places that are calm like Ohafia in Abia State and public electricity is not available.
A solar powered phone charging, pos and accessories shop would fetch you a killing. Adding service like laundry or gas refilling would be blockbuster.
Shop and establishing the biz in such areas can even be less than half of the cost in major towns whereas the demand and returns are huge.

Samantha125:
Her mother was not married to her father and she still calls by her mother's surname...🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️
There's no such rubbish in Nigeria. A man's child is a man's child with full rights and respect in the man's household.
Allegedly, he also took her to Nigeria without her maternal family's knowledge. A parent doesn't need consent from any external party to travel to their own home with their own kid.

She must have grown and decided to join the japa band wagon to go and taste SA Or M
maybe recent events like the Chidinma saga might have rekindled in her that she's part SA and now thinks this trend is the right way to achieve getting there through media sympathy. Her dumb ssa

Abure should just go to his constituency and contest for senate or house of reps.
This Labour party sef. Even when they had nothing, they were busy having factions upandan till one faction went ahead to officially become another party entirely -ZLP.
With the small wins they got in 2023 elections, through Peter Obi movement, governor in abia, runner up in Enugu and many state and national assembly members, they should have built themselves a platform to challenge the top dogs but here they are running back to square one.
Maybe Abure camp should also form another party Top Labour party -TLP Abi Real Labour party -RLP

TriCee:
Lol. I thought they said this one is in Rivers to make peace.
Be like Tinubu don use style make am governor.

Administrator is another name for Governor, LG chairman as the case may be.

Willy2025:
Does he have to appoint Administrators? Why not simply reconcile the warring parties and leave the state? THAT'S NOT HIS JOB NOR CONCERN. NA ASO ROCK BUSINESS. Call Jagaban to do the needful.
Ibas is overstepping his bounds. ABSOLUTELY NOT I heard his wife has equally taken over the office of the first lady. THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT SHE IS TILL THE END OF THEIR TENURE
Let him go to his state and contest for the office of the governor if he is so hungry for power. IRRELEVANT TO THIS ENTIRE BROUHAHA

As long as we're shocked or not happy with Rivers State current condition. Let's not be carried away trying to spew ignorance in the form of hate.
The sole administrator is the governor by a sort of "martial law" till the end of their tenure or when they're relieved of duties by the federal government. They don't need your political parties nor contesting in elections and they're not concerned about your civil court matters.
Some people here may be too young to remember Obasanjo appointing Sole administrators in two different states nor Nigeria in the times before may 29 1999. For example, Tanko Zubairu, a Northerner was administrator for Imo state. At least Vice Admiral Ibas is from the same South South.

The only sensible thing members of the coalition can do for themselves is Deputize to rule A.K.A Joe Biden move. Tinubu(via osibanjo) and now Shettima have utilised this move to get into the corridors of power.

A 2027 Atiku/Obi ticket will be easier to oust Tinubu and make the north happy. They've been crying because their tenure was not completed under Yar'Adua. Obi can run for president later when it's a fresh turn for the south.
Obi/Kwankwaso ticket. Giving Kwankwaso a foot in the doorway and chance to redeem his 2023 errors. But other northerners including Atiku might oppose.
For ordinary Nigerians and sceptical northerners, just letting Tinubu go naturally instead of stressing yourself might seem the best option.

santaclaws:
Omo, APC politicized everything in Nigeria. Right from the moment when Ganduje removed this man, I knew it would be a big trouble.

Things no suppose hard, the current governor allow the other guy to be emir of some breakaway enclave in the outskirts of Kano. After all he was the senior son of previous kano emir before Sanusi was chosen from nowhere.
Sanusi grandfather abdicated the throne and Bayero's father became emir till 2014. This is why this matter is too delicate because in a way, Sanusi doesn't have a claim to the throne since his own father was nothing after his grandfather abdicated.

RGRNetwork:
There are over 200 universities in Nigeria why not apply to them? Maybe he think his destiny is tied to ebonyi state. Carpenter wey dey think like tailor na kpako o... na swegbe.

Stop waiting for men at the top, only God can lift man up. If you channel your focus on God and ask him to direct your path.

Exactly
Dave umahi built a new federal University in Ebonyi state. Bayelsa and Delta each has about 3 new government universities within 2022 till date. The number of new private polytechnics and universities who would rush his PhD and pay better than the so called 70k cleaner job.
He could also have start a tutorial or cyber centre business within the school and be cashing in big time.

Jonjam269:
Your mumu is legendary, the court has not pronounced him guilty. Remember, an accused is innocent until proven guilty by a competent court. Yet, you're displaying hatred and ignorance, acting as if you know it all.

Your dyslexic stpidity is beyond legendary. What has this your rubbish got anything to do with my comment? Go find your mates in kindergarten to exchange tantrums with.

Yes, there's nothing to contest against the governor in 2027. People think he's working and 2nd term is almost just assured so no need.
Best to realign for now. Maybe go for senate or collect contract or appointment. He could yet become the anointed or lucky one after Mba's 8yrs. Look at Governor Otti of Abia State now, Ikpeazu narrowly defeated him likewise in 2015 elections under APGA. People came through for him at the polls in 2023.

Dreal1247:
The pains of suffering for a crime one never committed is always unbearable.

For 32 charges?

Dreal1247:
But the joy of being proved innocent is always overwhelming. Though some people won't believe his innocence.

What do you understand from "Prosecutors mishandled the case"

SmartyPants:
This is neither here nor there....the write up says he was acquitted because the prosecution mishandled the case. That doesn't sound good at all.

Exactly, They messed up their court processes or something. It doesn't mean he didn't do it. Just going to get away with it especially once he's deported.

If that's true that Yoruba has not occupied the post then, they deserve to be made the next INEC chairman immediately. It doesn't matter whether from Kogi or Kwara as long as it's Yoruba. What Igbos have been clamouring for is end of marginalisation in all sectors.

It's a pity. My condolences to his loved ones.

themanderon:
Nb: The school is located in the urhobo parts of Delta State so they are not igbos please.

No! No! No!
Agbor is nowhere near Urhobo parts of Delta State. They're not very far from Asaba and they speak the Ika dialect of Igbo but they (like Ikwerre counterparts in Rivers State) don't ever agree to be called as Igbo people.
