So if not for the VAT coming from the South West and Oil money from the Niger Delta, how will the South East Governors be paying salaries and pensioners? How will they be building infrastructures?
Abia and Imo state would have collapsed without VATs and Oil Money from other geopolitical region.
franchasofficia: If you want Putin to end the war, do these two things and heaven will not fall:
1.) impose all round sanctions on anything from Russia, including to US ally countries and extend it to China and if China flouts it, ban Chinese made goods from entering US and President Xi will quickly comply.
An all round sanction on anything from Russia will lead to the price of fuel and gas shooting up all over the world
yemmit90: You people over estimate the power of a governor. Governors are only powerful when they control the ruling party or majority of stake holders in their states. No Governor can get party ticket withiout being on the good book of the same party. Governors are always the Alpha and Omega of his party in the state, but usually powerless if he can't control at least 60% of his party members. Incumbent Governor don't allow party primary, and once that is chosen to determine his fate, just know he is not in charge and 90% sure he may lose.
Ambode lost for the same reason, even if you join another party to contest, where will you see people that can command Thounsands votes to mobilise for you. Obaseki won through PDP because, the party has great structure and people who can command thousands votes for him.
If I were Fubara, I will simply join the APC.
Lol
Lagos case is different. In other states of the federation, Governors are fvcking powerful. You can see how Fubara is giving it to Wike woto woto.
Fubara will rule Rivers state till 2031... It's a done deal
Fubara single handedly installed LG chairmen in all the Local government areas in Rivers. May God protect us till 2027, I'm willing to have a bet with anybody on this issue... Fubara will rule till 2031.
highchief1: hmmmm I don’t wish him death.ifeanyi ubah never thought he won’t even be there when anambra election comes.even wike no guarantee he will be around by 2027.even me and u na God hand we Dey
I believe I will see 2027 and beyond by God grace. Fubara will contest in 2027 and win.
Yankee101: You can’t use an executive order to change the constitution. Listen to the video. You can hear him say they have a chance in the courts after the reporter asked about it
This is not Nigeria where Tinubu will do whatever he likes
highchief1: I am not from that area but I know why I ask u.Politics ma interests.has sim built people that are ready to die for him.i hope u know wike has die hard fans.All this ppl wey Dey support sim now be like atiku supporters.when e set we no see dem again.sim 2027 will not be easy
I can remember how some people like you were claiming Fubara will be impeached I told them Fubara won't be impeach, he will complete his first tenure, then recontest and win. Don't underestimate the power of a sitting governor.
HandyRex: I just woke up to a news on nairaland that the federal govt is poised to dish out 75k each to about 7milliion Nigerians. I was shocked to have read such. Even a baby who is still in kindergarten would know that such plan would amount to nothing. They claim the plan was to cushion and alleviate the effect of the economic hardship being experienced by Nigerians. This is totally wrong! We all know that these monies will be diverted to personal pockets and shared among cronies. Why not use same money to Subsidize fuel so that the cost of living will reduce for every Nigerian.?
Government need at least 900 billion per month to subsidize fuel.
BlessedGift: Wike said: “I’m wondering what conflict to resolve? Mr President, in his wisdom, called all parties. He said withdraw the impeachment notice, you go and do this, you go and do that, but they never returned to him.
“The Assembly withdrew the impeachment notice; you did one and two, and then you sent people to go to court. Elder, have you gone back to Mr. President to tell him we can’t do three and four? Nothing.
“I have never seen this in my life — for a president to call parties, and one party goes back and says it’s political. Who does that?”
Wike's lawmakers were so aggressive to the governor after the president peace deal. The lawmakers should have work hand in hand with the governor,the governor had to fight back.
festacman: Love him or hate him, David Hundeyin is a proper coconut head. Strong as it comes.
Every progressive society needs more of David Hundeyin and VDM than it needs of conformists who would easily kowtow before oppressors or clowns who dance for daily meals at oppressor's palace.
Most of what he writes are fables. No progressive society wants someone like David Hundeyin
ncoolsome: Ask yourself y is imported fuel cheaper and pls forget that substandard bull shiiiit we have been importing fuel for ages
Before Dangote started operation, government was subsidizing petrol and there was no subsidy on diesel, kerosene and jet fuel. Do you still remember the insane price fuel importers were selling diesel per litre before Dangote start operation? It was Dangote that crashed the price of Diesel in Nigeria when he started operation.
ncoolsome: So if dangote sells for 5k per liter we should still buy abi...ask yourself y is imported fuel cheaper and pls forget that substandard bull shiiiit we have been importing fuel for ages
Dangote can't sell for this amount. If a price of litre of petrol is 5k per litre, that means the naira to a dollar will be about 6500/$. If naira can strengthen against the dollar, then price of Dangote fuel will drop.
malali: Why does Davido and his family chose to live in Nigeria ? Do you prefer more comfort than them ? Have you ever lived outside Nigeria ? Or you have TV and Youtube ?
