In the game if politics there is no middle ground. It is either you are for me or against me. That's what Fubara fails to understand. A lot of the grass root politicians are in Wikes pocket. For him to get them on his side, it's either he dangles a bigger carrot than Wike is, or make them fear him more than Wike.

If he cannot buy them with the bigger carrot approach, then he must systematically destroy Wike. He MUST give Wike the same treatment Wike gave Ameachi. No middle ground. Total assault of all loyalists and their investments in the state. Most men will submit if the source of their wealth is threatened. Revoke the C of O of their properties. Destroy their family homes and build roads there. Shut down any business of theirs or their associates in the state. ALL IS FAIR IN WAR.

What happens to all the money and properties recovered by EFCC? Why can't we use that to fight the so called "terrorism."?

The masses are suffering and this government want to keep adding to the suffering. Spending 15 trillion on a coastal highway, when that same amount or even less can give us 24 hrs electricity. Which is more important to the people, coastal highway or 24 hrs electricity?

The cost of the coastal road, which is estimated at 15 trillion naira, will give the country 24 hrs stable electricity in every part of the nation. Why is giving the citizens not a priority? We need 24 hrs electricity more than we need the coastal highway.

24 hrs electricity will drive the economy and reduce the burden on businesses, especially SMEs.

Do local airlines in western countries also delay for 2 to 3 days or more?

Yes, they do. My flight from Denver to Dallas has been delayed by 7 hrs before. We didn't get a refund. Nothing. When some passengers complained. They gave them a voucher which covered any non alcoholic drink and a snack.

She travels abroad a lot. Does she demand a full refund after 2 hrs of flight delay? Flight delays happen worldwide. Some flights are even delayed for more than 24 hrs. Airlines are not obligated to give a full refund. In cases where delay is less than 5 hrs, they can provide a meal voucher. If extreme cases, 12 hrs or more, they will provide accommodation or in certain cases, book you on another airline.

I have been to over 50 countries. I hate flight delays, but I also understand delays are part of the business.

What about Nigeria's minimum wage?

You can use 1 stone to kill 2 birds. Rent a 2 bedroom apartment. One that allows you to rent it out as AirBnB. On the days you need it, use it to satisfy your needs. On the days or weeks you don't use it, you can rent it out to those who also need it.

Thus way, you can recover some of the cost.

ZKOSOSO:
Is Reno mad or just plain being sarcastic?

He's now a paid actor for the BAT administration. His visit to Ribadu last year solidified this. He can fool some people, but he can't fool all the people.

This is why I tell people that it is hard for true activism to flourish in a country enveloped in poverty. Most activists are doing it for financial or political gain. They build up a notoriety and then use that as a tool for negotiating with the political class. The likes of Deji Adeyanju, Sowore, etc. The last true activists we had was the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi.

SamuelAnyawu:
Jews and not Christians and Christians will always support them over Muslims. Supporting Israel doesn't mean Judaism and Christianity is same.

Bro I don old pass this gimmicks Na

We are watching the war simple. You can take the religious discussion to another thread

Again, you are not answering my question. By the way, I never asked if Christians would support jews over Muslims. I am simply asking, If someone calls the messiah an imposter and not the true son of God. If they don't believe in the messiah, what should such people be called? Are christians to be equally yoked with them? Can Christians be one with such people?

SamuelAnyawu:
Anyone can be wrong both Christianity or Judaism. But that's not our business for now. When we get to afterlife we can discuss that.

For now the Christian world will always want to support Israel.

Are Nigeria Muslims supporting Iran Shias

You didn't answer my question: If you are a Christian, which means you are a follower of Christ. What would you call anyone who says Jesus was an imposter and not the true son of God?

Israel is a Jewish state. It comprises of 73% Jews. The Jews don't believe in Jesus. They do not believe he is the son of God. They believe he is an imposter. Our brand of Christianity tells us Jesus is the son of God. That Jesus is the messiah that came to die for all mankind. It says in the Bible that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh to the father except through him.

Here's my question: If we support Israel and call them the true people of God. Are we not admitting that they are right about Jesus and we are wrong? Because both beliefs can not be right. One has to be wrong.

Peter Obi is not an elected public servant. He doesn't receive any money from the state or national budget for constituency projects. Desmond Elliot does.

The real question should be, why have the political leaders in that community not constructed a borehole for their people? It should have been part of their constituency project.

Peter Obi did it from his pocket. The goal is to provide water, not a beautification project.

Those of you complaining remind me of the Nigerian proverb: Dem give man wey not get price new price, e com dey complain say no public hair."

Air peace is a non stop flight. Ethiopian airlines has a layover in Adis Ababa. If you don't mind the 10 hr difference, Ethiopian airlines is cheaper. For those of us who prefer direct flights, Air Peace makes more sense, even though it cost more.

If a man did NOT question the legitimacy of his child when he was alive, why are people questioning it when he is dead? Don't they know they are indirectly calling the man a fool?

If this was a sane country. This girl will become very very rich form this experience. If what Erisco foods is accusing her of is Defamation, then they have no right to arrest her. Defamation is a civil case, not criminal. You can be sued, not arrested. I hope she sues the owner and the company. If the owners have any international affiliates, they should add them to the lawsuit. That will add pressure to the company.

In this current economical climate, that's paying a entry level graduate the equivalent of $250 per month. That's unacceptable.

The equivalent for both companies in America starts at about $6000 per month for entry level employees .

The reasonable amount to pay entry level in Nigeria should be at least $600 per month for now.

I don't know if you made a typo, but the is no bank in Nigeria that will make a 22 year old a branch manager. It takes years to build a customer base, customer relations, bank ops, etc.

Yes, he could be very intelligent et al, but the most they will give him, if he is extremely talented is to head a department.

At what age did you guys finish University? How long did he work in the banking sector to become a branch manager at 22?

2 candidates did not emerge. Only one primary election was held. The one conducted officially by the PDP and witnessed by representatives from INEC.

So, I don't know which parallel primary you are talking about that produced Shaibu. Where was it held? Who conducted it? Who was present?

Fubara is a weakling. I remember when Oshiomole tried this nonsense with Obaseki. He chased all Oshiomole's supporters out of the state, including members of the state house of assembly. They all relocated to Abuja to be with Oshiomole.

After more than a year, the began to beg. By that time, Obaseki had demolished some of their homes, revoked C of O of their properties and businesses. Many of them started begging.

When you fight a giant, you must not stop that fight until the giant is dead. If you can't fight the giant then you must break thr giant little by little. All Fubara needs to do is to make an example of a prominent supporter of Wike. Arrest this LGA Chairman. Revoke any C of O he has of properties in the state and seize those properties. If he has any business, shut it down. If he has a family home where his parents are staying, demolish it. When you do that, some other supporters will retrace their steps.

Even if he is governor for 4 years only, at least he will leave with his dignity intact.

Chelsea deserve whatever they are getting. They sold Timori, Zouma and they are letting Chalobah rot away on the bench. How are Bodashile and Disasi upgrades to any of those players? They had Lukaku, they let him go for nothing, and signed Jackson for 30 million, how is Jackson an upgrade to Lukaku? Lukaku wasn't always good, but you are sure he would give you at least 15-20 goals a season, when fit.

They signed Enzo and Caicedo for a combined fee of 250 million pounds. Players who.are unproven at the top level. Not worth the amount paid for them.

Same with Mudryk. Unproven player for a huge amount.

They went ahead and signed very average, and in some cases, less than average players and filled the team up with them.

They knew they needed a proven striker, yet they went ahead and spent over a billion pounds without signing a proven goalscorer. That's crazy.

They whole board, owners, recruiters, and the medical staff need to come together and get their act right.

Players injured here and there, not able to build momentum.

Chelsea fans, brace yourselves, it will be a long way to get back to where they once was.

Looks like Trump

There's the death penalty in the USA. Have they asked the USA to ban it?

He is lying. You can not seek asylum at an embassy in your home country. It almost never happens. In the very rare occasion that it does, it usually is a very high profile case. Like an intelligence officer or high profile government officials.

OK, where does Nigeria rank in minimum wage of citizens? Always use that metrics to calculate it. Minimum wage per citizen to the cost of petrol.

Your mum does not love you. Any mother who wants you to marry someone you don't love, or attracted to and knowing fully well that it makes you unhappy, means your mum wants you to live the rest of your life unhappy. This shows she clearly does not love you.


Secondly, I am scared for you. She might have forced you to marry that girl out of a spiritual agreement she has with the girls mother or family. You are definitely living in bandage.

Thirdly.... I am disappointed in you. No matter how much you love and respect someone, NEVER put their happiness before yours. You will hate the person for it and live your life in regret. Just like you currently are. You must be bold enough to make decisions that put you first. It is not selfish to put yourself first. It is only a natural instinct.

Finally, a piece of advice moving forward..... NEVER LET ANYONE MAKE A DECISION FOR YOU, WHO DO NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE DECISION.

I am sure there are questions they must have asked her about her husband, that she could not answer. Consulate visa officers usually base their refusal or approval based on basic questions that any normal married couple would know about each other. When she was refused they 1st time and asked to bring more evidence. The only evidence she could have brought was for your uncle to return to Nigeria and follow her to the interview. If he has not returned to Nigeria since they got married, and she can not provide evidence that they have been communicating almost on a daily basis since they got married. Then she will be refused. Don't forget, they are most times judging marriage from their own society than the country of the applicant. How can you say you are married to someone, and you don't speak almost everyday. You don't know the company they work for or business they do abroad. You can answer basic questions about your spouse and you want them to believe it is a good faith marriage. No way.

The first step for Fubara us to revoke the certificate of occupancy of any building owned by Wike. Most allies of Wike in Port Harcourt have huge investments on relationships estate. Fubara will send a clear message to Wike's loyalists. If you stand by Wike, you will lose any business you have in PH. If you stand by me, you will continue to gain in PH and be relevant politically in the state.

Yes, Wike stole money, but there's almost no city test with a man when he has access to the state's unlimited resources, which works in Fubara's favor.

Fubara must be fearless. He should make the state hot for Wike. Wike must remain in Abuja, just as he did to Ameachi.

No one in a state can be bigger than a state governor.

Nigerians deserve their leaders. All they know how to do is complain. When you guys are ready to take charge of your future, you will do the right thing.

What you allow is what will continue.....Anonymous

Another avenue to keep looting funds. Why not privatize it. Successive governments have failed to make it work now for over 20+ years. Every year, billions are allocated to running cost of a steel plant that produces no steel. Are we normal in this country?

We behave like people whose brains didn't fully develop. In a sane society, people would be going to jail over Ajaokuta. Not in Nigeria.

I went to school with his younger brother, Osas. His younger brother is my age mate, 48 years.

When you guys are making these comparisons, always take into consideration that both economies are different.

In the USA for example, the minimum wage is $7.25, that means, the lowest earners in the USA have to work 3 hours to make what the minimum wage earner makes in a month of working in Nigeria.

Just using the power of the currencies alone. It cost more for someone making 30k naira a month to buy full for 675 naira per litre than it is for someone who makes $1200 a month in the USA.

Also take into consideration that the government I the USA have various programs funded by tax payers that benefit the low income earners. Some get as much as $700 for food a month from the government. A lot have their housing subsidized by more than 90%, and in some cases, 100%. Schools, even the best schools up until time for college are free. So, even if you earn low, if your district falls on a grade a school, your children get to go to the same school as kids whose parents are millionaires.

Never compare the living situation of low income Nigerians and that of low income Westerners. The difference is night and day.

When Buhari was there, their excuse was that the PDP ruined the country for the last 16 years. Now that an APC government has spent 8 years and handed over to another APC government, lets see what their excuse will be.

The money stolen under PDP in 16 years is peanuts compared to what was stolen under Buhari.
