Really? That day Ojuelegba nearly scattered. I was on a bus going from Lawanson to Yaba. We initially thought that there was a riot happening somewhere ahead because there was a deep rumbling of noise. We were considering dropping from the bus when we started seeing people crying and hugging one another. Then the street peddlers and urchins started running along the cars hitting the doors and screaming that the boss man was dead.

Me and my sister were going to a family friend’s place that evening, we got confused on the way when we saw the way people were standing in 2’s and 3’s. We had to turn back on the way…. It was when we were closer home we saw people jubilating having confirmed the news.

I heard people in that euphoric mood literally saying Nigeria will be better going forward that day. .One woman that sells Akara was giving it out people out for free cos everyone thought Abacha’s death would usher in good times for us all.

Yeah euphoria is the right word. Some street peddlers were giving out their food and drinks for nothing. People naively thought our problems were over.

Abeg which station dey show PDP primary? Abi dem no show am for any local station ?

We didn’t know politicians will show us shege. They only continued where Atiku started.

You know the funny thing, we used to have light then sef compared to the current state of electricity now. I remember only extremely upper middle class families had generators and they rarely use it; some got it just to show class

No doubt economically we were way better off then but then one has to factor the hit squads and government ordered disappearances.

BlueRayDick:


The mistake most people assessing Wike’s wealth per what Rivers state government earns. Y’all assuming Wike just steals everything , doesn’t pay civil servants salaries , doesn’t pay for all the infrastructural project he’s done in the state , doesn’t use any of the money run the ministries and parastatals, like he just pockets everything .

Well, the man probably has a cut from the soot generators, though

In 2013 alone, Akwa Ibom and Rivers States received $3.1 billion from the Federal Allocation Account. Just 2 states.

That amount is about half of the budget of Ghana which is $6.4 billion.

Akwa Ibom received the highest which is $1.7 billion.

Security votes were not included. IGR not included. Payments by oil-companies and to oil producing communities not included yet.

So much so Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala said if Akwa Ibom used only half of its resources, it would be the new Dubai.
----
So, in 8 years, both Rivers and Akwa Ibom States amassed $25 billion from the FAAC. If we add IGR (not all get published), payments for oil coys, security votes and the likes, we'd be looking at $37 billion at the very least.
---
If not even up to 50 % gets used properly as the then Minister of Finance, NOI, said then guess where the about $20 billion went to between 2007 and 2015?

Now, imagine how much Wike and Udom have gotten from 2015 to 2022?

You can either do beer parlour gossip, or base your arguments on verified facts which are in the public domain.

Again, Atiku is no match for these people. Not at all. And this is not an endorsement of their corruption.

We were NOT better off during the abacha years. In fact the Buhari years are a lot like the abacha years, a descent into poverty and tyranny.

We can even match the smelly fuel for methanol fuel

With the price of gas and kerosene e remain small for abacha stove to make a comeback as Buhari stove

The only thing one can say is a chosen few are hammering simply as a result of access.

Kano’s 44 PDP delegates are all wearing Wike hats

Nezzjnr:
Wike himself knows that he won't win the primaries.

Baba just wan test the waters... Gain Popularity against the Next Election... That's all.


Wike fit even slap you if you tell am say na him go win the primaries .

Apc won't even have to campaign.

Na this kind scenario wey boys wey sabi play Fifa go carry you 5 goals... Still win you on top.

Without the backing of rivers treasury, wike will be a nobody in less than a year. Someone who could not even manage obaseki.

I think u are confusing that my post thinking I prefer Abacha’s dictatorship to democracy ; not at all. Even as a kid that was protected , I felt the hardship in the land then, wives even warn their husbands not to engage in any political discussion in the bus for fear of plain clothe detectives ( CID ) arresting them.

There was tension in the air and people were living on the edge .

My post above was only saying that the expectations of the people about democracy bringing succor their way was dashed with the way politicians have turned this country from bad to worse . Today so many armed groups have been created as a result of politicians’ selfish interests in a bid to cling on to power .

In 2007, Things were great and looking to get even better until Obj handed over to yardua and ended the cycle

Omoh 50k per delegate.... 20M. This Country is Cursed.

Forever in our hearts, Abacha. Even when others were celebrating your death I never did because you were trying to fix a broken country but those who wanted the country for themselves made attempts to sabotage your efforts and in a bid to get rid of some you stepped on some toes and innocent people were caught in the crossfire. Decades later the promiseland that the democrats promised is yet to be arrived at, instead our condition got worsened by the cheats
