What if this protest is Government sponsored? Like a black ops to return Nigeria's capital to Lagos; A safe haven for this current government.

Before you spill your bile let use Abia State as a case study of this discourse. Since the return of democratic governance in Abia State in 1999, except Sen Orji Uzor Kalu, no other Governor have used the Government House PERMANENTLY. They rest Governor's resorts to rhetorics on reasons of not staying at GH. I would have loved to state circulated unconfirmed reasons but in other not to feed tribal bigots here, I will swerve. These preceding governments all govern Abia from the comfort of their havens, ensuring that nothing make their homes less the real Government House. They used this method to contend threats to their lives, family/ies and governance (enjoyment and looting spree).

Now let's revert back to my earlier assumptions. Tinubu being a good strategist knows danger lurks in the corridors of his government. That even with all the security paraphernalias around Aso, he is not safe if coup d'etat should happen. Having seen how Goodluck Jonathan government was topple, which he is an enablers. Tinubu; A good strategist, a core Yoruba man he is, will in this instance look for ways to return to his safe haven to govern Nigeria but will have to do such in a manner he will not be implicated as one who bite the hand that feed him or led to the whittlingof the Northern hegemony and power of Southern protectorate. The quest for Esaus hands began earnestly while the voice remains that of Jacob.

Do you know that in the face of chaos, the President who have the rubber stamp Senate in his pockets can relocate the Federal Captial or be excused to govern from his safe haven. Please try not to link the relocation of some departments of CBN to Lagos in this but which government can function without his bank close by?

The capital being in the North have being the greatest undoing of Southerners and Tinubu knows the dangers it poises to him, having learned from the mistakes of Goodluck Jonathan while also the North know its advantages and will do anything possible to retain the seat of power in Abuja.

The question is, will Tinubu outwit the Northerns with this protest to return the capital to Lagos?

Before you engage, try to demystify the sudden Local Government autonomy and clamour for Confederation cum creation of more States. All these could be part of the sphinx.

Whether you protest or not, we are virtually stooges to these politicians especially the game masters.

I expected u to dissect and criticize his logic with a superior argument but it's the usual balderdash from that group of people we all know

If u can't use stats and sound analysis to counter him, swerve abeg

Shei now we go chop stats? What is not Logical and sound when someone asked "What is growth, if not reflected in the life of the citizens? Are we growing from what to what?

You don't celebrate a goal when the referee have not decided. In democratic settings, citizens are the referees and they are asking "where is the growth and its impact?

Can we stop all these tantrums that coarses and deprives people the opportunity to contribute?

This is why you don't put square peg in round hole. It takes a being that values something to know that genius can walk that path even as a toddler.

The grand plan to ensure that Biden does not contest again is on high level

Hon. Justice James Omotosho has done what he knows how best to do. The maestro in delivering of justice for paddy paddy, a maverick in redefining sections in our Constitution and epitome of Nigeria law students.

Oga Philip the man with contacts; Abuja warlord from the town with many creeks, is a man to know but if he desires your wife -don't argue.

The usual chant of "Edo no be Lagos" will rape this thread but know also that you are under spell like those rejoicing over local autonomy.

Class 99 is now incharge. Align with them and win all battles.

How are these groups formed? Everyday we wake to charade of drunkards whose brook ceased flowing posing as common man's leverage towards government. It is hightime that a policy is formulated wherein these groups pay monthly fees to government. Their monthly fees will serve as revenue source for the government and also give them higher stake when making their demands.

The bedeviled era of Buhari administration muted these groups, why? Because their brook was supplying liquor to them. Now the tide is flowing South-West, you suddenly remembered the sanctity of the Koran where it is stated that liquor is not good for a believer, hence we must protest against it.

The hypocrisy of the North is blaring like ambulance siren during burials in Eastern Nigeria. You will surely see the dead mocked, know his evil deeds but dare not eat the burial rice with banana because you are might be burn with a bunch of matches.

Kani101:
The decision which will see eligible employees receiving N45,000 monthly is set to take effect from July 2024.

The above is misinformation. The expected money is N15,000 per month for three months, totalling N45,000. The Governor approved this after he held a meeting with Labour Union leaders and its affiliates in the State over the planned strike. One of the reasons for the strike is the alleged provision of N35,000 palliatives for Civil Servants for six months by Federal Government, which Dr Alex Otti OFR refuted that the state recieved nothing of such. However, he stated that in other for him to ameliorate the harsh economy situation on the part of Civil Servants, he will pay additional N15,000 to their salaries starting from the month of July to September, 2024 (3Months interval).

Nonetheless, he has promised to review the N30,000 minimum wage been paid to Civil Servants in the state because Labour Union and its affiliates opined that what previous Administration was paying them is not N30,000 minimum rather additional N10,000 to the previous minimum prior to the Federal Government upward review of the wage.

Richtaiwo:
The only Elu P state received N54.2 billion. Within same period Ogun received N40 billion. Abia is owing workers 11 months salary of 18k minimum wage while Ogun is up to date with over 30k. Reason is very simple. Just tell them Tinubu is the problem, you are free man and the best governor for saying the truth while run to their social media handle to insult Tinubu down to his ancestors.

It is quite unfortunate that most things we grade as cruise later forms opinions about us and changes our mindsets subtly. If at this period in this country, you still engage in shenanigans and uncanny speeches then the hope of Nigeria is lost.

How on earth did you get the figures that Abia state pays its workers Eighteen Thousand Naira minimum wage and owes workers 18 months salary? This your assumption lacks Knowledge.

The crop of politicians we have in this country seriously loose along as they wish. How will a custodian of the welfare of his state citizens utter such gibberish? Should the Press Secretary and his media team not be questioned on why their Excellency was not properly guided to say such obscenity to the people?

This further suffices the argument that most educated Nigeria politicians are a square peg in a round hole due to their lack of pedigree in political science. I am of the opinion that having at least a diploma in political science or Law should be a perquisite for anyone contesting for elective position in the country.
