Buhari be laughing and wishing this pandemic will be over so he can jet out to London and see his doctors

sapientia:
I will patiently wait for next week.

Trump will soft pedal.

If USA backs down, it means selling 3rd world countries to China.

But there will be serious repercussions for WHO officials after this saga ends.

If only China knows what harm it has caused himself because they were not transparent in handling this covid 19.

It will not be spontaneous but most countries would start developing capacities in production so as not to rely on China massively.

Some other Asian countries might likely be the new brides like who would known Vietnam can chun out 55,000 ventilators monthly inside this crisis.

Imagine what they can do it its over.

No matter the stock China buys now, in the end, they will lose.

Its China VS the world.

Even USA won't win such a war.

I love reading analysis from folks like you. People think China is winning this war but in truth, the harm it's doing to them is unimaginable. But should Trump remove funding from who, China will step up and will court most countries to abandon the USA.

Once again you see how these things are playing out and you get sense pass 80% of the people here

Explorers:
The refrigerated truck that was brought onto the island is the same as those currently parked outside hospitals across Manhattan as part of makeshift morgues set up to deal with the number of people dying from the coronavirus outbreak.





THE GRISLY HISTORY OF HART ISLAND: THE FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR OVER ONE MILLION BODIES


Hart Island, sometimes referred to as Hart's Island, has a grisly history and started being used as a cemetery during the civil war in 1868 and there are now more than a million bodies buried there.

Since then it has been used as a women's psychiatric institution, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a potter's field burial site and storage for Cold War anti-aircraft missiles.

After its first use as a cemetery in 1868, the island started to be used as a potter's field for unmarked graves and accounts from the time describe bodies piling up on the island after being transported from hospitals in the city.

By 1958, burials there exceeded 500,000 and it has been used to house the bodies of victims of the 1870 yellow fever epidemic and the 1919 Spanish Flu outbreak.

During the Spanish Flu, when more than 500,000 Americans died, thousands were buried at Hart Island as city burial sites were overwhelmed.


In more recent times, thousands of unclaimed AIDs victims have been buried on the island.

The first were buried in 1985 away from other graves, in the belief that AIDs could infect dead bodies.

In one 200-foot trench the remains of 8,904 babies were buried between 1988 and 1999

It returned to being used as a common grave in the 1980s and is still used to bury unknown or unclaimed people with bodies from across New York taken to the site twice a week and laid to rest by inmates at Rikers Island.

Due to a New York State law from the 1850s and last amended in 2007, a dead person's next of kin on have 48 hours after death to claim a body for burial.

If the body is unclaimed it becomes legally available as a medical cadavar to be used for training at medical schools or mortuary classes.

The island, which can only be accessed by ferryboat, was sold to the city in 1868 and became a final resting place for unclaimed bodies and those used by medical schools.

it's history makes it a perfect place for horror movies.

Telling an erring teacher sh is wrong is quite rude...

But telling same teacher there was a mistake somewhere is correctional, but quite respectful....

That's wot I mean

in Nigeria yes. Elsewhere not bad

bigpicture001:
Must you make him feel bad..?

this idea of not telling people the reality is what brought us here. How can someone with a diploma not compose a simple essay with the blunders

You said you met her during your ND. Your writing skills suggest that you left what you were sent for in the school for something else. A junior secondary school student will do much better than you

Wiseandtrue:
Thank God you know that Buhari disregards the rule of law

I hope you will not cry for Buhari when the international police takes him out

Ask Trump!!!

why do you read your international law from. Nothing Trump can do to a sovereign nation like Nigeria. You know Nnamdi Kanu is a British citizen yet Brittain couldn't order for his release

Laslaslala:
So everyone should keep quiet and keep being afraid of an illiterate that prides in disregarding the rules of law like you pointed out
Senseless citizens of a failed state
What sort of Exclusive list OK let them fly in but they must remain in the airport never them attempt moving into the streets and roads in rivers state where the government in charge placed restrictions to movement to check covid 19

let's assume that the Wike orders the police to restrict movements in the state and Buhari orders them to keep the movements going,who do you think that the police and military will obey

Ddy:
Which state are u from,I have a message for u

Nsukka in Enugu State

bakescos01:
Most of all this our politicians are power drunk. Like Buhari like Wike. Give them power and they will misuse it. Wike has no right under law to arrest those pilots after being cleared by the ministry of Aviation. Except if we want to change our constitution which I would love to see each state controlling itself but with this our present day politicians it seems this governors self will turn themselves to God once being giving that kind of power.

brother na so we See Nigeria. Unfortunately lots of people see what Wike is doing as the right thing. Lots of abuse of power full this country. Buhari is power drunk, Wike is power hungry

Moventist:
Which power tussle are you talking about

this question weak me. What do you think has been going on between Wike and the federal government. So you think it's fight against coronavirus? People that I meet on the internet eh

broadman20:
You gat block head because if you don't you will not compair these people you mentioned with a sitting governor who has immunity like Buhari. So kid go back to school and learn to read your books.

Mrpojj:
Wike get immunity

please eh guys. Let's assume Buhari orders the IG of police to withdraw the security attached to the person of Wike, wetin una fit do from the comfort of your keyboard and phones. What if Buhari decides to stop the flow of allocation to Rivers State, wetin una go do? What if he decides to militarize the street of Rivers State and orders everyone including the governor to stay indoors, what will you folks do?

Iceberg3:
I agree with you,I'm in that bandwagon. And that is why we gotta stand against these northerners that have taken over all positions of power to oppress the south.
We must rally round people like Wike.
I'm not Igbo or even from Rivers state but we must rally round people like Wike and Kanu who look at these internal colonialists in the eye.

the northern Nigeria isn't your problem. Your problem is the likes of Wike who will start trouble where there's none. This power tussle he's forming now without recourse to the constitution will give Buhari the powers he need to come hard against Rivers State and her people.


You don't fight a tyrant with lawlessness. He will descend on you with tyranny and you go run

Okwyjesus:
Go and Sleep. You guys should keep high allocation of Covid-19 to yourself.
We don't need it in SS/SE

the naivety you guys display here is awesome. Same Wike was crying he wasn't given 10bn like Lagos. Which State can survive without Federal government allocation in Nigeria.


PS a bu m Nwa afọ Igbo amuru nke ọma

Iceberg3:
They are licensed to operate and not licensed to kill or disregard the state govt where they operate.

It is foolish for any company to wanna be at loggerhead with the state govt of where you operate. The Fed Govt is just being a bully and stupid and petty. That Rivers state ain't in your party doesn't mean you don't liaise with them. Is this northern same president that stupidly tagged some people as 5%!? Petty fed govt.

Air peace is not a rogue company that disregard state govts,they know their importance.

And fyi,Wike ain't no pushover,he's a lawyer.

lols. Licensed to kill. Who have they killed. Name a single case of death or coronavirus that is attributed to them.


Let me tell you something. Over there in the USA where the State government are very powerful unlike what we have here, the federal government permitted some companies to operate because they offer services to the military and as such termed national security services. So it happened that Blue Origin owned by Elon Musk was one of them. They needed to test some rockets that have zero interest in the safety of America but a totally different thing. The rocket in question was meant to take tourists into space but because they have been licensed to operate, they still do. Even with the quarantine measures in place and restrictions of movement between states, they still moved their staff to a Texas launch site even with the cries and wails of the government and local people.

If this can happen where there's rule of law and such impunity allowed to exist, imagine what our federal government with total disregard for rule of law can do. PS, our oil industry is too important to us and can be regarded as a national security infrastructure

Okwyjesus:
On this one we will all come out and tie hands in chain around Wike waist.

I pity the company.

it will end in tears brother. Shebi Odi massacre don old for una memory. Wait another one dey cook by the time it's done, everywhere go stew.

Iceberg3:
And it will remain so cos of people like you.

no it will remain so because of people like you who don't understand how crazy our constitution is. Until we realize that the constitution gave some people an unlimited amount of power,we will keep electing stupid people into the legislative arm of the government. First and important way to change a situation is to understand that it's a problem. Right now, most of you are being sentimental and forming Badoo on the internet forgetting that our laws were made by the military and it gave the powers to the government in the center and not to the people. Stop living in fools paradise and wake up to reality. Our law made it possible for a certain Tanko who's an Islamic judge to become the supreme Court judge of a secular state like Nigeria

Nodogragra4me:
This is a proof that you lack knowledge. If the helicopter company is critical to the point of crippling operations of oil from let the oil major declare a force majeur on that basis so the entire world we know that our oil industry depends on a monopoly for air logistic.

this is law. There are twist and turns. I can claim that I walk with my hands and if I can prove it, I will win. That doesn't mean that I walk with my hands. The federal government can claim whatever it wants because of Wike actions and whatever you say on nairaland won't change a thing.


When the court ordered for the release of dasuki, the federal government claimed national security and that was where it ended until they decided to let him go

Nodogragra4me:
They can’t be any harder than they were during the elections and he flooored them all ... Wike is a confirm baddo .. sars , army and others except the police were against him and he came out victorious ...nothing in there Arsenal that is new ... Amaechi was using military convoy still he got nothing on the man ... put respect to his name ...


When Wike was a minster , he delivered rivers to the PDP while Amechi was the sitting governor

I just dey laugh oh. Rivers State is a PDP state and the federal government respected that. Wike was shakes during the election because APC are playing the long game. The last election was to soften the ground and make new enemies for PDP so that APC takeover will become simpler with less blood. You folks are just too funny.


Let me tell you, NO BODY IN NIGERIA CAN CHALLENGE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND WIN. NOT BOKO HARAN NOT WIKE AND NOT MILITANTS


You may point out BH, but just know it is a cash cow for some people just like Afghanistan is a cash cow for some people in America

Iceberg3:
You cannot have your private business in a state and disregard the governor of said state simply cos you got some numbers to call at Abuja!
If Abuja needs to carry out certain operation in any state at such critical time,it's normal for them to be in contact with the state govt.

Abuja/Buhari should stop intimidating Nigerians and people like you should quit slave mentality.

Can any company operating in say Lagos,dare Sanwo Olu just cos they have Abuja connection?

you guys are funny. These people were licensed to operate in Nigeria by the federal government. They are not just backed by the federal government but also the constitution. They pay taxes to the federal government and Rivers State collects hers too which makes Rivers a partner. They can sue Rivers State and collect billions in damages. They are provisioned to operate in a time like this. Air Peace have been flying and landing in Lagos and never had sanwo tried to meddle. You might say Air Peace brings critical materials for the fight against the pandemic but those things won't pay for themselves. Caverton services is needed to ensure that we generate the funds

idahme:
All your assertions here depict u as one who doesn't know the workings of the constitution....go seek knowledge than embarrassing your self in public

same constitution that says one must respect court orders which Buhari flouted with reckless abandon. You people are living in fools paradise I swear.

eledacedar:
And the FG can use that power with impunity if it so decides.

People will only shout. Nothing will come out of it. Shebi it's this country one state did not get FG allocation for 8 years.

our people forget very easily. Buhari has shown us he has zero regards for rule of law. Wike be flexing muscles but if Buhari comes for him,no amount of media and court order will save Rivers State. Shebi they take pride in militancy. No be Abuja or kastina go burn and become polluted. Na same Rivers State and Buhari won't even touch ground. Worst case scenario,na the military go dey die and Nigeria will be recruiting. Shebi we're 200ml with majority of us youths. He has unlimited pool to fetch from and don't think people will refuse to join. Nysc was created for such

Xisnin:
Caverton is foolish for trying to fight the state government.

The state government owns all the land within its boundary and any
business that wants to succeed must obey state rules and regulations.

All Caverton management should have done is submit the manifest of its passengers for
proper testing and quarantine but they refused because they feel too big.

according to the land use act of Nigeria, the federal government owns all land and leaves it in trust of the states. Wike is a care taker. Buhari is the landlord

MelesZenawi:
Which powers that has to be pls.

you can call them the cabal or anything else but the federal government is powerful

Xisnin:
SMH, none of those you mentioned have immunity.
Even with a kangaroo court, he can do nothing to Wike.

same immunity was there when ngige was kidnapped as a governor and his security details removed. Buhari can deal with Wike in so many ways. How about claiming that for grounding caverton,he stopped movements of critical staff and thereby hampered the workings of the oil and gas industry. And he claims that Port Harcourt will pay for the losses and put a stop on their allocation. The federal government is all powerful in Nigeria

MelesZenawi:
You feel you can fight state government because of few phone numbers you have in Abuja.

Your business will cripple and you will lose...


Instead of apologising for the conduct, you as a private establishment wants to tell the state government that you have phone numbers in Abuja..

Who will create the conducive environment if not the same state government...


1999 constitution needs to be scrapped and shreds Into pieces...

The paper called constitution is a hindrance to meaningful development...

please when the powers that be comes hard on Wike, don't claim marginalization. There are exclusive lists which Wike have no power to control. This guy is just power drunk and we all know how Buhari can disregard rule of law when he wants to discipline someone. Ask NK,ask dasuki

At this point,I suggest that you give us a call

AgentNairaland:
You don't have to say my help is in one slave's hand

who's this slave we're talking about
