PoliticsRe: Peter Obi Condemns Tinubu Declaration Of State Of Emergency In Rivers by MetaMatrix: 1:22pm On Mar 19, 2025
[quote author=David160 post=134608150][/quote]I know this bug mouthed hypocrite dribbler will be quick to comment in this one despite his state being ravaged every now and then.

This PO is a disaster that never happened to Nigeria. He's being fooled now by the north. Same people who fooled him severally in the past. But they know he's desperate to have what he'll never ever get.

Without Wike, would their have being any crisis, who was boasting on National tv there can be no Peace , " Heavens wont fall"

Who incited chaos in Rivers if not wike ??

SO you know Wike is not part of Rivers, then in what capacity is he dictating to Fubara conditions for peace ?? try enlighten us without sounding stupid
Can you then say OBJ should be suspended too because he went to blow a trumpet being acted upon now?
PoliticsRe: Verydarkman: Fubara Is Not Fit To Hold Power ! (video) by MetaMatrix: 1:06pm On Mar 19, 2025
All these are not correct. Let me explain

1. The state of emergency IS NOT what Wike would want. Why, the State of emergency has now successfully been able to prevent a fully planned impeachment against Fubara. I swear he himself knows this. Meaning that; by 6 months, all waring parties would have piped down. Everyone would have lost his strategy.

2. The state of emergency actually stopped what by now would have gone out of control.

3. As i was urged to blame wike, common sense makes me change. The president, according to VDM, charged Fubara to meet wike and agree to the promises they had. This happened in time of Obasanjo, Ladoja amd Adedibu in Oyo state. This same statement was made by OBJ to Ladoja who refused and was impeached. So.... If you'll not live by it why accept it? We all went again god-fatherism of Oshiomole against Obaseki only for same Obaseki doing same to his intended successor

3. Promise is promise. If you could fail the promise of 1 man, you'll definitely fail that of the whole nation. Other men left politics because of these

4. Ibas was the most senior past officer and also havs proven to be capable of preventing all these pipeline bombings. His achievements speaks for him irrespective of his affiliation.

5. I think its PDP, my party trying to destroy the peace of the state. Fubara would have been there for 8 years and obeying his political father. They wanted cause discord between them and wike knows this.

6. Wike isn't fighting Fubara. He's fighting PDP who wants to whittle his political power and influence in Rivers.

So.... VDM goofed here

TimeManager:
Young woman, there's nothing Elrufai did for Tinubu that Tinubu has not done ten times of it for Buhari. Let me enlighten you, Elrufai came into Tinubu's camp as an afterthought, he never supported Tinubu from the get go. Elrufai had his own candidate. The Majority of Northern Governors were with Tinubu which handicapped Elrufai to make a detour into Tinubu's camp. During the APC Primaries, Elrufai's delegates voted for Amaechi as he had ordered them. His romanticizing with Tinubu started after the primaries when his choice candidate, Ameachi lost.
Elrufai lacks the demeanor to play this political game, he's too unstable, emotional and predictable. When Oshiomhole was removed as APC Chairman through a coup, he remained calm and kept working for his party, never coming out to throw them under the bus. The perseverance finally paid off, Oshiomhole is back to the top still on the platform of APC. Elrufai refused to learn and I wish him good luck.

Natasha is petitioning because she has boxed herself into a corner. I don’t believe her and she has no evidence and knows she has none. She happens to know that there is a woke movement typified by the presenters on Arise news who will back her whether she is telling the truth or not. In all the back and forth over this matter, Arise Tv has never found it fit to mention that she falsely accused Reno amd only backed down and deleted her posts when Reno proved he wasn’t in the country.


Again I warn men, be careful with women, don’t put yourselves in a position where a woman can accuse you falsely or not. Very few will be able to prove it is a lie like are o. one allegation can damage you and they don’t have to prove anything. The world we live in will believe them. We live in a world of her word against yours, a world of public opinion not facts.

Politics1966 Coup by MetaMatrix(op): 12:26pm On Feb 24, 2025
"It was heinously callous for Nzeogwu to have murdered Sir Ahmadu Bello and his wife, Hafsatu, because not only were they eminently adored by many but also because they were said not to have put up a fight. From that moment the putsch was infiltrated by "outsiders" to its supposed original intention and it took on an unmistakable ethnic coloration compounded by the fact that there were no related coup activities in the Eastern Region"- President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, 'A Journey In Service: An Autobiography', February 2025.

I hate to burst your bubble but there is NOWHERE in IBB's book that he said that the coup of January 15th 1966 was NOT an Igbo coup.

In fact he alluded to the contrary when he said the coup had taken on an "unmistakable ethnic coloration".

That is what he wrote and that is the reality. The coup was an ethnic one and that ethnicity were the Igbo!

Those that have misinterpreted his words and have said that he wrote that the coup was not an Igbo coup are either misguided and misinformed or are being mischievous.

They have a poor understanding of the English language and in the main have not even read the book and instead are relying on erroneous social media qoutes and well crafted disinformation.

I suggest that they procure a copy of the book, read it from cover to cover and stop attempting to revise history by misinterpreting the words of the esteemed author.

IBB, in his characteristic manner, was charitable to the Igbos in his book but that does not give anyone licence to misinterpret his words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.

The facts are clear and they are as follows. 99% of the officers that planned and executed the Jan. 15th 1966 coup and that were involved in the mutiny were Igbo and 99% of those that were murdered by them were non-Igbo military officers and political leaders in some cases including their wives.

We owe it to the memory of those that were so callously slaughtered not to sugar coat the bitter truth, not to revise history and not to tell lies.

The coup was UNMISTAKEABLY an Igbo one and IBB made this very clear when he wrote about its "ethnic coloration".

I urge all those that have a poor understanding of the English language and that cannot read more than three lines of any book or essay to stop using his words to establish their revisionist and patently dishonest narrative and their futile attempt to perpetuate an age-old lie.

The truth is that the Jan. 15th 1966 coup WAS an Igbo one and I am glad to say that IBB has confirmed it.

This is a FACT and as our journalist friends will tell you 'facts are sacred and opinion is cheap".

USAID Funded Boko Haram, Other Terror Groups – US Congressman

US Congressman, Scott Perry, has said that US aid agency, United States Agency for International Development, funded terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram.

Perry, a Republican representing Pennsylvania, made the claim during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency on Thursday.

The session, titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” focused on alleged misappropriations of taxpayer funds.

“Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That’s what it’s funding,” Perry said.

According to the subcommittee’s website, it will “actively work with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, shore up vulnerable payment systems, and fully investigate schemes to defraud taxpayers.”

Perry further cited USAID’s reported funding of $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan, alleging that there was “zero evidence” of the schools’ construction.

Perry added, ” If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not
allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.

“You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door.

“USAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan’s education-related programme. It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can’t get in to see them.

“But you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school. Yeah, they can’t attend it, because it doesn’t exist. You paid for it.

“Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.”

US President Donald Trump has previously called for the closure of USAID, accusing the agency of corruption in a post on his Truth Social platform.

The move is part of Trump’s–and his billionaire ally Elon Musk’s–drive to shrink the US government.

Musk, whom Trump appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has also criticised USAID, alleging that it engages in rogue operations.

Musk has called USAID “a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America” and has vowed to shut it down.

Among other criticisms, which Musk has claimed that USAID does “rogue CIA work” and even “funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.”

Trump said DOGE would “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies — essential to the ‘Save America’ movement. This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!”
