Even me reading this. This hurts me to my bone.

Money clearly wasn't an issue here, the issue here is due to the doctors on strike for failure of FG to meet their demands.

My heart bleed for the family, but this sort of strike shouldn't be happening in a country of 270 plus population. It's bad enough that the health system is substandard but doctors going on strike is synonymous to police going on strike.


If not for anything, now I know why most people who already made it Nigeria still Japa.

It is sad he didn't make it. Don't be quick to put all the blame on FG. Can't the state have a proper specialist hospital. Governors are not innovative cos they out to take advantages of deficiency of the federal government. May his soul rest in peace.

MichaelSokoto:
Yes!
d north is learning d lessons wit Peter Obi in d same class!

Give yourself a rest cos Obi is not in the conversation. He has nothing to offer. He is a tribal and religious bigot. I will choose even Atiku anytime and anyday to Obi. Is an overrated man.

SadiqBabaSani:
Shame on you for trying to drag Religion into two selfish former allies fighting for their pocket

A very big shame to him.

Lagos is indeed no man's land. If a man from Iragbaji can be a godfather in another state and still maintain the position pocketing the indigenes of Lagos without anyone speaking out. Indeed Lagos is no man's land

Lagos is part of south west and not south east. Even when the labour guy was contesting but yorubas didn't gave have him a chance because he was disconnected from them. How will a proper human being not been able to speak his father's language but fluently speak his mother's own. Over there years, he spoke negatively against his suppose tribe and throw support for his mother's own. I saluted Yorubas for taming him and not allowing him a chance. He his truly a bastard. Since igbos said he was the most qualified, let labour party field him as governorship candidate in upcoming guber election in anambra and of course he will able to speak igbo fluently to Anambra people.

gidigbam1:
It is not even possible for him to do so. He does not even have the powers or authority to do so. When I saw the news yesterday I just knew it was a figment of those IPOBIDIENT imagination who are clueless on how these things are structured. Go to school and acquire knowledge NO.

The only reason they are supporting Fubara is because of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. They don't care whether he delivers or not as long as he is fighting Wike they are fine. But they forgot that Wike remains the best thing that has happened to Rivers State since it was created. He is now in FCT, and also remains the best thing that has happened to FCT since he assumed office.

But my people don't care because they believed he betrayed PO and supported Tinubu, you see them calling for his head. To show you the kind of hypocrites they are, Bianca Ojukwu a member of APGA was just appointed Minister, and you see how they are all happy and applauding it, with no one screaming anti-party.

honestly you are very correct. I pray for urgent and lasting solutions to this power struggle. I am never Wike fan before and now I will still not be. The likes of helineus and co, used to question the character of Wike who was authoritative and power drunk when he was governor but most igbos here online and offline were against anybody who talk against him, but they now hate him, just because he didn't support Obi. If he had supported Obi, even if he didn't win the presidential election, they will have been calling Fubara an ingrate. Igbos are really known for hypocrisy more than other ethnic groups in Nigeria. They create unnecessary hatred for themselves. Jonathan lost and his ijaw people and many of us in south south took it like that, regardless of some irregularities but igbos put the loss on their head and start insulting the Northerners and westerners and they forgot election is game of numbers. Those people will prefer anyday and anytime, a south south president to a south east president for now. You people should change your mentality. I have met incredible and great igbo personalities and he hurt when some nuisance will be demarketing and bringing untrust to the good ones in future purposes.

DEROX:
Fool if not for Baba koleosho of blessed memory the then AD chairman did he actually think he won funsho Williams? They rigged the election and gave this mugu oo
Don't ask me how I know all these the man is from my area

It wasn't rigged but Funsho williams was asked to step down for Tinubu by the leaders of AD then, for his financial support to NADECO for fighting Abacha. Engr Funsho williams was then offered a senatorial ticket but he refused but insist that after Tinubu govern, he will takeover. Don't say what you don't know cos it was a national news back then.

Jicks55:
Nice one Mr Governor..... Invest where you can generate more funds for the state. Lagos state is a nice place to invest.
Just a room and parlour in V.I is going for almost a million naira.

you can't get it in V I currently for that amount oh. My friend is looking for 2 bedroom for her client for 12m in VI or Ikoyi for annual rent and she has not seen anyone.

Ikaeniyan0:
The lawmaker should quickly settle out of court with him if he's wise

Nothing like out of court. He his a disgrace to the youth. He should be jailed to serve a lesson to others.

helinues:
Irrespective of political party, all politicians from South East are supposed to be credible based on you guys technical know how

How did God Hope sneak in?

What gives assurance that other candidates in the last election are not even worst than Gov Hope?

Ihedioha only spent like 6 months but he was busy destroying properties all through without achieving anything with his temporary stay

Ask him if it was the supreme Court that got him re- elected.

Macphenson:
He is the worst because he knows the people did not vote for him rather he was brought into power through the supreme court and as such feels he owes the people nothing.

My peaceful loving state became a theatre of war immediately he took over.

Was he also brought to power during his re- election by the court.

tommykiwi:
Reno don't really have shame!

Why not prove him wrong since you have shame. Most igbos are the ones propagating lies. He listed all of them.

cr7lomo:
I really pity wike ...he will not end well ...all because the governor did not allow u to control the affairs and funds of the state ... and river people havnt yet attacked wike ... this can never happen in Anambra or kano

The truth is that we are not practising democracy in Nigeria...its worse than autocracy cos in military regime , its only the head of state that is the dictator..... the head of state under military rule use soldiers and guns to commit their own crime ... but in democracy, we have multiple dictators , from president to governors and ex governors and they use the judges and gavel to commit these crimes .

Wike should be arrested

Which state Chris Uba adopted a governor, Ngige.

chigoziri2403:
And people want Peter obi to contest again with this kind of judiciary

You mean that third man, who claim he won and couldn't prove it.

2Ways:
Imagine what Wike is using the Court to do in Rivers State.

When he was using the same court as governor, the people who now suddenly hate him just because he didn't support Obi as president were cheering him then. It's a political struggle and let him and Fubara settle themselves cos it's non of my business. I am only consign of Edo, my state and Lagos state were I currently live.

sholatech:
When Lagos State was Nigeria's capital city, every State Govt was given land for liason offices. Most of the lands are lying idle and wasting away. A good governor like this decides to make it a commercial venture for generating revenue for his state and you deem it wrong? Its the same way ibom air generates revenue for the state from Lagos, Abuja and Ghana outside Akwa Ibom

Leave the dullard. Education is so vital. The governor said his state has undeveloped land at Victoria island and he intend to develop it and sell or rent it. That place is an upscale area of Lagos. Just yesterday my friend a realtor told me, she is looking for 2 bedroom in either VI, Ikoyi for 12m yearly rent and up till now, she has not gotten. If the governor built 40 flat and put it at even 10m per year, the state will be making 400m yearly. If he decides to sell them off, then each flat is between 150m to 200m in that axis now.

Ebubu2:
Akwa Ibom tower in Lagos

But Lagos does not have Eko Tower in Akwa Ibom

Are you suggesting Akwa Ibom is not good for investments? Insane irresponsible government. Build church in Akwa Ibom and build tower in Lagos

Some of you just talk ignorantly. Some months ago he said Akwa ibom had undeveloped land in Victoria island Lagos and he plan to develop a high rise building comprises of various flat and either sell all of them or put on rentage. In VI 2 bedroom rent goes from 10m to 15m per year, while same two bedroom can be sold for 200m.

adolfHitler1934:
Just imagine this compound f.ool. What has the person he voted during last presidential election gats to do with this, eehn?
I have said it here time without number that all of you that support this administration don't do so because Tinubu is doing well, but because he is your tribesman. You all need urgent mental evaluation because it's only a sick person that can behave this way.

Back to topic.

Wike is known, apart from drinking too much whiskey, also known to be on very high potent drugs which has devastated his mental and physical health so badly.
We in PH know this very well, it is not a hidden thing.

As a portharcourt boy you claim that you know Wike to be drunk in whiskey but you supported him almost all through as governor, even when he exibited same tendency back then. Some of you are really stupid and hypocrite. I won't be surprised if you are from Ikwere.

Ttalk:
SE are drawing the entire South down with their protective and overpampering of their governors who just pay salary and bolt with the remaining money.

Rather than concerntrate on generating revenue, they prefer to dance gwo gwo gwo ngwo and spend the rest of their time blaming Tinubu and SW people

Just imagine Kwara state is generating more revenue than Anambra says more about the priority of those who have ruled the state.

Their love with IPOB and anything mediocre is worrisome, as many of them detest Soludo who is trying to clean up the mess of Peter Obi.

It is high time SE people talk to themselves and think home rather than turns SW to their home

You can't really fought the people cos no non indigene or foreigner will locate a business and sleep with two eyes close. Apart from security challenges, the constant clamour for Biafra republic has also impede sitting of multi billion company by outsiders from other zone and foreigners. Over eighty percent of companies in Lagos and Ogun state are not own by igbos. That is a fact.you can fact check.

Sharpsharp00123:
keep quiet there

U Igbos will always defend a fellow Igbo no matter how stupid your defense line is, imagine u talking this crap cos the person involved is an Igbo

U igbos always love to claim fighter of injustice but u are here supporting an Igbo man who beat up another man

U claim fighter of d oppress n even put mouth in what involves people in other region but today fighter of d oppressed is supporting d oppressor cos he's his kinsman

It's obvious u people can't have a fair judgement when it involves your kinsmen, same useless defense u gave in mmesoma n amaka case.

U people will never agree your kinsman is wrong instead u will look for 1 million stupid n annoying reasons to cover it up

No wonder people don't trust u with power, I can bet if u are d judge in this case even with video evidence u will declare d driver guilty cos your Igbo brother is involved

The same mistake that led to the civil war is still staring at us right here, an Igbo man still doing the same thing that led to d war

He will never see any wrong in his brothers action no matter how stupid his brother acted, coup plotters were jailed by ironsi only for them to b pampered n paid full salary in jail cos an Igbo man believe his brother can never b wrong

The foolish dishonourable is lucky that the bolt driver is not from the core north. They would have burnt is house since. Only a fool will defend the abino escapee. Ninety percent of youth who found themselves in position of authority has failed. I taught the former senator from Adamawa will be the last of power intoxication by a youth but not knowing there is another beast rearing his ugly head.

Okeytus:
I am not in any way affiliated to the honorable member neither am I a lover of Nigerian politicians but it's good to call a spade a spade.
I read comments where so many Nigerians where calling the honorable rep evil names, some went even far as to lay curses on him and threaten him without knowing they are committing same "crime" they want to crucify the honorable member for.
They want to remove the log of wood in someone else eyes forgetting theirs is so big that they are almost blind.

You have a similar trait with him. This are some of the reasons our older leaders don't want to relinquish power to the youth cos they know most of them are like them. The likes of the dishonourable are twarting the chances of few credible youth to attain power.

9jatriot:
So much so for a man an importer who was claiming from production to komsumption.

Anyway, in the first part of the things you wrote, he was just an ordinary importer. There are many like him in Alaba, Onitcha, Ladipo, Lagos Island, so nothing special about being an importer.

To the best of my knowledge, NEXT is a supermarket, the supermarket even failed in the UK, there are very many ordinary folks who own supermarket. The business though profitable is a margin business. So, nothing really innovative here.

Though you did not specifically mention Fidelity bank as the bank where he was chairman, I have been hearing that he was chairman of fidelity bank, can you show proof, because I have gone through the bank's list of chairmen since it inception in n1988 and I cannot find his name there, perhaps you can help so that I do not wrongly jump into conclusion that this is another lamba,

Being a board member is not such a big deal , some people just get invited to become board members perhaps because of political influence, even then can we have a list of those companies?

Obi contributed to the mess of the country. He was appointed by Abacha as the Tincan island chairman and he uses that opportunity to become sole importer of variety of products into the country. Only foolish people were decieved by his consumption to production talk. After making billions from importation, why did he not set up any plant of one of the products in Nigeria. He is just a criminal like others. He is so deceptive and Conny.

AntiZikist:
Ned is just trying every dirty trick in his tribalism suitcase to get the igboid people to agree to leave Delta state.

The irony here is that Delta South and Central are the provinces that are the economic power engine of Delta state.

Not one single person from Delta South and Central has opposed Ned's clamour for Delta north being carved out to form his Anioma state and from there join his brothers in SE region.

This is the same Ned who critisized the current governor for maintaining a Governor's lodge in Warri and embarking on projects in Warri and Delta South . For the likes of Ned, every project must be cited in Delta north - Asaba to be precise. He wants the state he wants to bulkanize to still be developing his Anioma state until he gets it.

He is clamouring for Anioma state and with Asaba definitely the state capital but selfishness will not allow him to think alright. If I am the current governor, I will not locate any project to that axis for now. Delta central were the governor hails from are the largest voting strength in delta state. All the governor need is to develop delta central and south and he will win again. I pray Anioma becomes a reality but if it fails, delta north will sweat to produce governor again cos it was out of pity it was zoned to them before. Let the Aniomas caution Nwoko cos it's statement will bring mistrust by the two other zones. That is the mistrust the igbos are facing currently in Nigeria because of reckless statements by some of them.

CodeTemplarr:
Did it start under the present delta state govt?
This man was silent under his Delta Igbo brother.

Most of them are hypocrites. Why did he not call out Okowa his delta north brother to fix the Jonathan abandoned projects. I didnt fault Okowa when he massively developed his region cos Ibori and Uduaghan didn't do much over there. He has no right to condemned any infrastructure been carried out in Warri axis, since Gov Sheriff is from there. He should appeal to him to see reason to complete the power project. Tell the governor the benefit of it's completion and not playing sentimental politics. He will be a one term senator except Anioma state became a reality before 2027.

EmperorCaesar:


Useless comment from a useless person

Dude even built the entire thing on his narrow perspective.

Like UEFA, dem suppose dey withdraw some people certification after dem don too talk rubbish

You are the one useless, since you dont understand what he meant by it. All those commissions mentioned will be together and supervised by a minister who report directly to the president. They are now under ministry of regional affairs. Everything can't go you people's way, expecially good thought that you people don't want to hear. An Edo man from south south is still the supervising minister and he will now co ordinate all regional commissions for effective performance. Ezekhome is ahead of you in all ramifications. Nobody from your family dead or living is well knowed than him.

Seefinish:
This is the formula
Obi and Kwankwaso

All the retired Generals should queue behind them

Atiku should not Contest but support them.

Akpabio should be impeached and somebody who will unite the NASS against Tinubu in 2027 is elected

The north should not allow Wike to impeach Fubara. ( River State is one of swing states)


The north should plan "...p" in case he wants to rig the election.

They will never support Obi, a religious and ethnic bigot.

chilan:
By Lawrence C Nnoli

Bianca Ojukwu has accepted the position of junior minister in Tinubu's government. Being an interested person, I have critically analyzed the appointment and her acceptance of the same and in my opinion, her accepting the appointment serves only her appointor and maybe herself as an individual, not the interest of Nigeria nor the interest of the Igbos.
To arrive at this decision, I have asked the following questions:

1. What does APC, the political party and the government she intends serving truly represent? APC has not hidden its intents. From 2015 to date, it has been a disaster on all fronts. APC has compromised the very fabric that has woven us together as a nation. From security, finance, religion, rule of law, etc. No sector was spared of their misgovernance. Bianca should have stayed clear of the appointment or, better still, nominated someone to represent her.

2. What do her constituents say about her acceptance of the position? Did her acceptance of the appointment dampen the minds of her people or elevate their minds?
There is no joy in Nnewi, her husband's place or in Enugu, her dad's place about the appointment and about her accepting the appointment. The most positive attitude of her constituents as a result of her accepting the post is an attitude of indifference. Most people truly felt she sold out by her accepting the position of a junior minister. Maybe for a senior ministerial appointment, some people would have given a positive nod but as a junior minister, most people think she grabbed that position for her personal benefit.

3. Who would gain the most from this appointment: her people, herself or the government?
The answer is pretty straightforward. The unpopular government gains the most, followed by herself and her associates. The position does not serve the greater interest of her people. Nearly a week after the announcement of her appointment, no prominent Igbo leader has publicly congratulated her - not Peter Obi, Not the Anambra state governor, Chukwuma Soludo, not the Enugu state governor, Peter Mbah, and not even the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo.

4. Would her great father, C.C Onoh and her great husband, Emeka Ojukwu, have approved that a woman of her status be appointed as a junior minister in a very unpopular government?
It is obvious. Appointing C.C Onoh's daughter and Ojukwu's wife as a junior minister is not worth celebrating. It's almost like dragging in the mud those great names the woman represents.

5. What would the millions of her followers, nay her husband's followers think?
I am not in doubt that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa, Ralph Uwazurike and others would not feel happy hearing that the wife of their late leader has accepted to be second fiddle, a junior minister in a very unpopular government.

6. What risks are involved in accepting this position? Do the gains outweigh the risks?
There is no gainsaying the fact that Bianca's alignment with a government as polarizing and unpopular as Tinubu's government exposes her to significant risks both political and personal. Accepting the position of a junior minister neither uplifts her people nor strengthens her political ground. Instead, it places her at odds with the ideals her dad and her husband's families represent. It places her at variance with the common factual belief that Tinubu manipulated his way into the presidency and stole the slot of an Igbo man to become the president of Nigeria.

If Bianca gave the foolish writer a personal assistance role, he will rush it.

aariwa:
The highway they said will solve all problems of roads in Nigeria Lol . They quickly in a matter of days rushed into that road without any planning because their ultimate ambition wasn’t to complete the project or repair any of their mostly dilapidated federal roads across the country…..the ultimate target was to destroy the tourist paradise an Igbo man built which had brought in hundreds of thousands of tourists into Nigeria and revenue to government in the years before according to the international award winning YouTube travel content creator Wode Maya and CNN estimated its worth in December 2023 before tinubu and goons destroyed it at over $200m dollars. Tinubu supporters celebrated the destruction of the Igbo man investment and we have seen the results today and confirmed that nothing that is based against Igbo will ever, ever, ever, ever succeed but will always end up in more failure, shame, pain and more generational poverty to the bitterness filled souls that supported it

Which paradise, it is very obvious you dont know the place. What is there at landmark beach that worth even a million dollars. Always over hyping things. It is not even the top very best beaches in Lagos. Go and ask of Barracuda beach. You people make noise much.

John Ezeobi is a very articulate young man, an industrialist and a philanthropist.
He's constructing a road in our town as we speak.
We actually came from the same town and he is my junior brother but his money 💰🤑 is too much!



Eze ebu na afor, why not be happy for the little achievements of your brother, a very young man at that?
The Coleman you are comparing him with, do you know how long they have been in the market? Do you know the government patronage Coleman enjoys? Why not compare him to kabelmetal, nocaco, miccom cables etc

Shut you mouth. You are too tribalistic. Coleman is the best for now and he has raised the standard m, so he will enjoy patronize by all sundry. The man has tried for himself no doubt. Some of you like to blow things out of proportion and that was why he corrected you.

SpiritMoney:
And what do you think will happen? 😂.. you will send in your ragtag, corrupt army that can't prevent oil theft?

The same army getting beheaded like chickens in the Niger Delta? 😂... nigga, are you for real?

Can your rag tag army fight a war on more than 2 fronts? 😂

You are currently producing 1.3 million barrels... if you are happy to bring that down to less than 1 million over one greedy, deluded megalomaniac of a minister, be my guest!

At this rate, there will be no Nigeria to preside over in 2027. Go ahead... have a field day.. 😂

I don't know wether Wike use all of una head Cook abaca and nkwobi for that im ogboni shrine that none of you can question him. You worship the drunkard as if he's God. It's not even as if he treated you all with respect. He and his few cronies share the chicken and throw crumbs for foot soldiers like you. That's why your mothers and fathers die on the regular because the money for hospitals, drugs, good roads and security are in one man's belly.

Enough is Enough! Allow Fubara work for Rivers people. The man has approved 85,000 minimum wage in a heart beat. If it was wike, the crook would still be paying 30,000 , refuse to pay pension and gratuities and still refuse to promote anybody.

Make una fear God!

Can you swear to God that he wasn't your favorite when he was a governor.

MadamVanessa:


Fulani bandits are twerking effortlessly everyday in the north,no single arrest have been made. They even have social media page, notably " tiktok" were they upload their videos and often make a caricature of the idiotic uselèss government of the zoo, insult their fóolish INEC appointe, the aenyd president, yet the terrorist in uniform for once haven't made a single arrest. Una go arrest tire na, bunch of uselèss idiots .

So that means if there is civil unrest and wantom killing in south east, the army should not act. Some of you people are actually brainless.
