Every Tinubu supporter will of course feel it's a good move because it makes Tinubu appear to be inclusive. It actually weakens Wike in his South-South homebase that is primarily PDP with LP gaining popularity. Rigging Rivers election doesn't make him popular. He just got a slot in the cabinet for the job.

The only person who gains is Tinubu. Wike has undersold himself, or perhaps people wrongly thought he was more than he actually is.
Ministers who were in Abuja from 2015-2023, how many of them are relevant in national politics right now?

A senate position would have been more honourable for Wike.

Senate without a principal position? Going to the senate would have sent him into political oblivion. You would only be heard at and from the senate if you held an important office right there.

By the way I hope you are not referring to me as Tinubu's supporter. If so, then this whole conversation wouldn't be worth it.

Since i was introduced to yale bread I don’t eat any other bread. I love the bread so much but the fact that this bread can stay for weeks on the shelve without getting spoil. My friend told me he was scared of the bread because he doesn’t know what they put in the bread that can make it last that long on the shelf.

Sincerely I have been asking the same question. The shelf life is too long for normal bread. I have decided to stop having that bread after seeing your concerns.

Dancebreaker:
Really? I used to think he was smarter. From wanting not to be VP to becoming a minister, that he already was years ago?
Wike sustained PDP financially for so long, only to be opposing party's minister?

He should have nominated someone for minister and stay out. That's what Tinubu did with Buhari/APC for 8 years. Today, Tinubu is able to claim he wasn't in Bubu government.

As for Fubara, who says he can't fall out with Wike? Wike fell out with Amaechi. This is politics.

Wike wants to maintain national relevance which is good for his national ambition. Comparing him to Tinubu does not really match. Tinubu is a mentor, while Wike isn't. He is more like a lone striker who needs to scrape every chance to stay in demand.

It's only fair to place him and Amaechi in the same draw. I hope he performs well to solidify his future aspirations.

Dancebreaker:
Wow! So Wike can actually accept ministerial position? Not even SGF?

A man that could not settle for VP?

I can't believe that Amaechi could have more integrity than than Wike.

At least Amaechi decamped with full chest as governor.

May be Wike was actually envious of Amaechi all along. Wow!

As it stands today, (I don't know about tomorrow) Wike has played a better game than Amaechi. First he made sure to retain political honour and weight in his home state, then goes further to acquire national relevance.

If anything goes wrong between him and Tinubu tomorrow, he has a sure political base to fall back to. He appears more thoughtful than Amaechi, who runs on too much emotion.

A very wise fellow indeed.

Premium tears will flood everywhere in the next ten to twenty years over this UK wildfire. Make unu dey sell unu assets for Naija.

Yes even with the current situation. The black man is a failure everywhere he finds himself.

You get bad mouth, I swear. Let the black man breeeeffff

edoman2016:
The AA ladies that I am meeting, I just don't have feelings for them.

Solution: Do yourself a favour by developing feelings for the AA ladies you have been meeting.

Expect more and plenty more of this. Mummy Angela Merkel is no longer in power.

2mch:
Are the leaders aliens or Nigerians? You think if this woman is given appointment she won’t misbehave? The whole Nigeria needs reorientation and it should be from crèche. We all need to learn to stop sabotaging ourselves and our country.

Aptly said. What you said is the only solution to our national collapse. We have almost zero human values. All the humane virtues that distinguish humanity from savagery are missing in over ninety percent of the Nigerian populace.

We are just devouring one another all in the name of smartness. With what obtains today, Nigeria is on an irredeemable path, sad to say.

tomzyELNINO:
See yeye talk. Ogbeni pack out and leave that place my friend!!!

This one na mumu story nau. I nor fit laff. Na beating them go take tell am make him pack. This story sounds so fabricated.

Imagine Buhari asking Tinubu to let him remain in Aso Rock till December so can fully renovate his Daura residence. Nonsense shitty fiction.

Merry100:
Lol, you are judging a total stranger and comparing yourself to him. The fact that the guy in question has not achieved as much as you have achieved doesn't automatically imply that he is lazy. Mr. man, if you can't help others, let them be; don't contribute to their problem. Sometimes, words can be sharper than swords. Must you comment, he said his friend is on the verge of giving up, and you wrote this. Where is your conscience?

Leave the bragging dude alone. He doesn't know that within five years the struggling guy can outrun him in the race of success. A series of wonderful opportunities is all he needs.

That Man Won't Suffer Anything Here On Earth, He's Going To Jail And Has Few Years Left On Earth, If This Man Doesn't Go To Hell, Na Ojoro

He will stroll into Heaven if he genuinely repents and accepts JESUS CHRIST. If you are a Christian, try dey study your Bible o. Person fit use you count scores, him go later repent and enter Heaven while you fit nor make am enter the same Heaven. This Scripture should enlighten you in this regard (Luke 23:32-43).

wink2015:
AMONG ALL THIS PROPOSED MINISTERS, WIKE IS THE "STAR BOY"

EYES WILL DEFINITELY BE ON HIM THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD OF HIS SERVICE TO THE TINUBU GOVERNMENT.

AND TINUBU KNOWS THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL PLACE THEIR EYES ON EX-GOVERNOR WIKE.

FORMER GOVERNOR OF RIVERS STATE, NYESOM WIKE IS THE ONLY GOVERNOR FROM THE SOUTH SOUTH REGION IN THE PAST DISPENSATION THAT PLAYED HIS CARD VERY WELL.

HE WAS VERY ARTICULATE, CALCULATIVE AND DECISIVE.

HE MESMERISED THE ATIKU CAMP AND DIFFUSED THEIR ASPIRATION.

NOW HE IS BEING REWARDED WITH A MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENT.

I SEE WIKE ASPIRING TO THE POSITION OF VICE PRESIDENT AFTER THE TINUBU GOVERNMENT ELAPSED THAT IS IF THE PRESIDENCY GOES TO THE NORTH.

Just like Amaechi abi? Wike is only repeating Amaechi's political history. Wait and see before dancing unclad.

OluchiDelly:
wrong caption.

He said football addict( addict not lovers). moreover he did not condemn watching football but watching it at the expense of Gods service.

I doubt they still teach comprehension in our schools. E come be like say na only you understand wetin the guy talk. He didn't condemn watching the game. Just don't devote to it too much time, passion and commitment to the extent that it conflicts with your devotion to GOD.

Shockingly, see the way guys are coming for his head as if he said something abominable.

Sinof:
Is Messi Spanish?
NO. He is from Argentina but spoke Spanish to show you that Spanish is their adopted official language that can be used to communicate with a wide and diverse range of people.Messi has his own indeginous language but also learnt Spanish in school like we did English in order to be able to communicate with educated people.

Thank you for a lecture well delivered.
Internet has given many people cheap opportunity to spread flawed opinions. That's why when I read some naive comments like the one you addressed, I instantly lose the interest to respond.

garfield1:
He was never popular please

Go back to bed this boy. This shows you are either a teenager or a newbie in matters of politics. Anenih, a whole BoT chairman whom Obj dreaded? Na small pikin dey worry you.

Odin13:
… for some that list some amateur names and states that Aninh Tony of blessed memory was never popular


Kids have really taken over this site ..

That one is under some substance influence. Na only slap I fit take answer that him stupid statement.

enemyofprogress:
I don't eat much because I'm watching my wait.

Your matter don tire me.

Exmilitant:
You have a shallow mindset.
Where is Obasanjo, Gowon and IBB living in your Abuja and Lagos? Don't they have thriving businesses outside their villages?
So many successful persons in the US lives in the rural part of the US and controls their business empires from there. In these days and age 60% of people in cities may not be successful because of the fierce competition there.
So strategizing from the comfort of the rural area can catapult you to height unimaginable.
A school mate from Cross River state relocated to his community to take charge of his father's palm plantation. Under two years he built houses here in PH and rented them out. Niggar is now exporting palm kernels shell to India.

You are just too dumb to be engaged. Was OBJ at Ota when he became head of state? Did he become head of state from his father's village? Leave all these stupid stories and reason with your brain. Retirement and seeking opportunities are two different ventures. I engaged that guy regarding opportunities, not retirement.

Even a sound toddler knows that location affects prospects. How would you tell someone to relocate to his village when he has greater chances of earning what is commensurate to his human value in Lagos city, New York, Port Harcourt, Johannesburg?

Go back and understand the points I made before jumping aimlessly on it.

Beverlyjean:
My problem is not even what u posted cos u never ever posts anything that makes sense...its the number of senseless people that liked ur post that's my problem ... it shows the number of Nigerians that are mentally deranged

Don't let his dubious 'likes' fool you please. They operate a sizeable number of sham accounts with which they support their distasteful comments. They've been busted severally.

Svoboda:
There are scores of very succesful people with thriving ventures in the village.

Its all about mentality.

Is this a joke or what? How about Tinubu remaining in Iragbiji to hustle? How about Messi remaining in Argentina to play football? How about Ronaldo staying back in Portugal? How about Adeboye staying put in Ifewara? How about Dangote moving all his businesses to Kano? Should I go on or you have gotten the message?

Maybe you need to study the relationship between opportunities and location. Wetin dey village? Better pack your bags and move where your chances are brightest.

Sheggy13:
I feel this guy hasn't lived up to his potential. He's such a raw talent and arguably one of the most gifted players to come out of Nigeria, but somehow inconsistency is his undoing. I can't place my fingers on what the issue with him is cos it's painful to see somehow that should be chased by big clubs for a much higher fee being sold for just 20 million Euros.

You mentioned his problem already. He is too inconsistent to be taken seriously by a top top club. Sometimes he performs magically, other times he messes up in games. I won't blame him. He might be content already that he has achieved his biggest dream, which probably is to play for a premier league team.

Almiron:
I guess Tinubu don finance your guguru business.
I hope you’re getting paid wella, hope say you no dey do this for free, cos that will be insane. As politicians no send anyone’s papa. If you’re getting money stack the bag wella, and also save for rainy days. Good luck

How literal beggars garner energy to support government-induced suffering should be specially studied. Thanks for the digging.

9jabox:
My friend works in a private organization where he’s paid 80k per month. It was actually increased from 69 to 80k after the first fuel hike. The company can’t do another increment after the second hike meanwhile, his transport fare had increased by another 25%.

He works from Monday to Saturday.

His transport fare to and from work is 1500 daily excluding feeding. Dude spends an average of 3k daily for TP and feeding.

Tell me, what is his gain?

Honour amongst neighbours that he goes to work. Na that one be him gain.

DanielsParker:
Anyone with a salary of 100k and above have no reason whatsoever to complain.

I laugh at your naive comment. Where do you live? You classify 100k as huge? Unless you work from home and live rent-free.

babajide107:
You guys are funny saying Russian can’t deal with Poland.If Stalin was to be the president Ukraine would have being finished now..putin is really merciful because of Russian nuke Ukraine today nato won’t do anything.putin is just avoiding casualties because a lot of Russians live in Ukraine but as for Poland a nato country the approach will be different and trust me USA isn’t dat nice.I won’t be surprised if Dey leave Poland alone to suffer afterwards Wagner group is a mercenary and not Russian and belarus so both countries can deny dier involvement and usa will play along

You talk like you are tipsy, I am sorry.

Pastor137:
Good day Nairalanders. So for three days, I've been having constant headache like someone is hitting hammer on my head morning and night. Been on some painkillers but they have little or no effect.

Treated malaria and typhoid last week. Please what could be the problem please as It's really affecting my productivity at work.

Change your drinking water. Bad water and constant headaches are five and six.

istina:
I never liked OSHIOMOLE as a Governor but as Nlc president he remains my best till date. NLC has become a shadow of itself ever since he left.

As governor, he remains the best Edo State has ever had. Please take note.

Magnificenttop:
Enough of this issue.

What she did is outrightly wrong and incriminating but people make silly juvenile mistakes especially these days when everything is social media prank giving the younger ones bad examples to emulate.
Most especially when there are old crooks with far bigger vicious crimes against humanity on their necks in the same country but they walk around like free men and women.

I'm very much against her action but all the aggression shouldn't be directed at her.
After punishing her, do remember to punish the bigger thieves more.

Her crime now is not the original crime of falsification of result. The real crime was when she chose to fight dirty on social media in defense of a result she obviously fabricated. This is why JAMB won't let her off the hook cheaply. Do you know what her brazen insistence did to the reputation of JAMB that period? Are you aware people began comparing JAMB to INEC?

Leave sentiments bro. JAMB won't let go this matter. Their punitive action must stand to deter others from reenacting similar fraud.

Xenophobia dey hungry Reno. I am not sure he knows how many Nigerian businesses are there in South Africa as well as other parts of Africa. Joker!
