Yes, his name is "Chinedu" but are we also going to pretend the use of "Chinedu" is discretionary and at convenience when an Agenda is obviously being pushed? Wahab addressed GRV by his official title to start the 'give and take" but when he was triggered by the accusation of bigotry, he remembered to use Chinedu. So, didn't he prove him right? We know why. You can pretend all you want but I know and many know, the convenience of using Chinedu was intentional and proved GRV right. You guys forget this isn't Wahab's and GRV first tango. They have been going at each other for a while now.

There are expectations and responsibilities that comes with being a public officials or holding a sensitive position and that is the reality. Just because Wike runs around the country with his uncouth mouth doesn't mean that is the norm. I work in corporate America and while I am not on SM, there are expectations and responsibilities that come with my position. There I times, I curse and swear in my head but I also know I can't say or write what I have in my head because it may cost me a lot; it comes with the territory!

Get Lagos clean and move on!

izzou:
Why are you not angry with GRV for calling him a bigot in the first place?

There are two facts to this matter;
1) Lagos is dirty and Wahab is responsible for cleaning it. That was the discussion.

But you're not triggered that in that context, GRV called him a bigot. What exactly has Bigotry got to do with that explanation he gave? Did he blame Igbos or anybody in that explanation?

Nothing, his original response had nothing to do with it but can you at least admit going from Dear GRV to Dear Chinedu was intentional and proved GRV right?

Do you want to read through the comments after the Chinedu comment by Wahab? Are you telling me Wahab did not know what he was trying to do when he went from GRV to Chinedu? Or are you amongst those that will tell me it’s his name?

Someone accused you of bigotry and what did you end up doing? Did Wahab not prove the bigotry? Anyone can make accusations and while that was reckless, Wahab proved it wasn’t far fetched because GRV was proven right.

Like I have maintained, the conversation should have ended after the original response. Someone accuses Izzou of being a thief and what does Izzou do? Goes ahead to steal.. So was the accusation of theft right or wrong?

raumdeuter:
The first reply, He addressed him as Dear Gbadebo GRV, His second reply he addressed him as Dear Chinedu GRV

Both are his names and official identity

What is bigotry in calling you your official govt name? If Your name is Roland Oluwaseyi and I say dear Oluwaseyi, How is that bigotry

Can you kindly explain how his official name is Bigotry? Will calling the President by Dear Ahmed(his official middle name) by bigotry
If GRV doesnt want to go by his Chinedu name, he can say that and everyone will take note

izzou:
I think comparing theft with this are different.

You have no where dragged GRV for calling someone a Bigot unprovoked, but you have dragged Wahab for responding to GRV in that same energy?

Don't you think GRV is also a bigot, for calling someone a Bigot over nothing?

Emaprince:
The APC tactic on divertiti attention is to make everything tribal. Igbo vs Yoruba....then attention will shift, and people will start fighting thenselves.

The yoruba man whose front building is litered with dirts that they are paying Lawma to pack, will forget about his complaint and join in the fight. This is how the culprit will be shielded from criticism.

The chinedu he brought in there was to make it Igbo vs yoruba. Its always their pattern.

And Roland17 being surprised at wahabs toutish response is making me laugh. Like you dont know how APC appointees act. You dont expect civiltà from people that groom agberos to use them against normal citizens.

Roland17:
How is it different? It is an allegation that is supposed to be false, right? It could be any allegation? Mr. A is accused of being a thief, the accused goes ahead to steal, so what does it make the allegation? Still false I guess?

In law, we say "Innocent, until proven guilty". GRV made a claim, Wahab proved him right. Again, except you can in good conscience tell me Wahab moving from Dear Gbadebo to Dear Chinedu was innocuous and with no ill intent.

You are choosing to read what you want from my posts, otherwise, you'd have read several places, from my initial post where I questioned GRV's intent from his original response to Sanwolu to his first response.

izzou:
A claim?

No vex Chief. I don't mean any disrespect with this example

If I call you "Stupid", would your next reaction be to prove me right, or insult me back?

Because you're making it look like there was basis for this "accusation".

Roland17:
In your knowledge, tell me why he switched to Dear Chinedu from Dear Gbadebo?

Why was it necessary to switch during the same conversation on the same day?

Why? Because it is name abi?

I guess the question now boils down to "Is Bigotry a crime"? and the answer is "No", except in the instance where such leads to violence or hate crimes against a people. I mean there is a reason no one wants to be associated with it.

If I am a public office holder or hold a senior level leadership/ management position, I am not insulting you back; it comes with the territory! I am most definitely not engaging anyone on SM, i no kukuma get SM.

You should understand that there is hierarchy of responsibility. Why do you think Wahab stopped replying GRV? Why didn't he continue? Because it must have hit him or someone reminded him to stop with the back and forth.

The conversation was getting intense and he had to remove any word that Chinedu doesnt "think in"

I think Sowore is an Ijaw man.

Ijaw and two faced names.

Naso Ebele Jonathan use people head, they thought he was Igbo... whereas a typical Ijaw man can never accept to be called an Igbo man.

Name efficiency is what they're riding on.

KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT

PRESS RELEASE

KOGI INTERCEPTS LARGE CACHE OF ARMS, FRUSTRATES PLANNED RETALIATORY ATTACK BY CRIMINAL ELEMENTS

1. The Kogi State Government wishes to inform the public that a major security operation has led to the interception of a cache of arms and ammunition believed to have been destined for criminal elements seeking to undermine the peace and security of Kogi State.

2. The successful operation was made possible through the synergy between local security operatives under the Kogi State security architecture, the Hybrid Forces operating under the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), and the 12 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, acting on credible intelligence.

3. Preliminary information indicates that security operatives received intelligence on the movement of arms and ammunition intended for delivery to criminal elements operating within and around Kogi State. The intelligence specifically identified a Golf 2 vehicle being used for the illicit movement of the weapons.

4. Acting swiftly on the intelligence, security agencies coordinated efforts across state boundaries and, in collaboration with the Sokoto State Government and security agencies in the State, tracked the movement of the suspects and their vehicle while maintaining close surveillance on their activities.

5. The operation culminated in the arrest of three suspects in Sokoto State after they had been placed under covert surveillance for over two weeks. Preliminary investigations have yielded valuable intelligence, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend other members of the arms trafficking syndicate seeking to fuel criminality in Kogi State.

6. Building on intelligence obtained through the operation, security operatives successfully intercepted the cache of arms and ammunition intended for criminal elements in Kogi State. The Golf 2 vehicle used for the illicit movement of the weapons was subsequently impounded in Kabba, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area. Recovered from the operation were two AK-47 rifles, several AK-47 magazines, sixty-seven rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, two pistols, twelve rounds of pistol ammunition and military uniforms suspected to have been intended for use by criminal elements in their operations.

7. Intelligence reports indicate that the intercepted weapons were part of an effort by criminal elements to replenish their depleted stock of arms after suffering major operational setbacks in recent weeks, particularly following the neutralisation of the notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Battijo, on June 10, 2026, after his failed attempt to kidnap students of Government Secondary School, Iluke Bunu.

8. Anticipating possible retaliatory attacks and desperate attempts by fleeing criminals to regroup and rearm, the Kogi State Government immediately intensified intelligence gathering efforts, widened its intelligence dragnet, strengthened surveillance in strategic locations and deepened collaboration with security agencies across the country to ensure that any such plans would be detected and neutralized before execution.

9. Intelligence available to the State Government indicates that the remnant criminal elements trapped within forest locations in parts of the State have suffered significant operational setbacks and are experiencing acute shortages of arms and ammunition following sustained security operations against them.

10. Available intelligence further suggests that these desperate elements have been making frantic efforts to replenish their stockpile of weapons in a bid to fight their way out of the sustained security pressure being mounted against them by security forces.

11. The Kogi State Government, having anticipated such moves, acted ahead of the criminals by expanding its intelligence network, strengthening surveillance operations and working closely with security agencies to intercept the movement of arms and other logistics intended for criminal elements. The successful interception of the arms consignment is a clear demonstration that the Government remains several steps ahead of those seeking to threaten the peace of the State.

12. The interception validates the proactive security measures put in place by the administration of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, FCA, and further demonstrates the effectiveness of intelligence-driven security operations in combating crime and insecurity.

13. The Government particularly commends the local security forces in Kogi State, the Hybrid Forces under the Office of the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the officers and men of the 12 Brigade of the Nigerian Army for their professionalism, vigilance and seamless coordination. The operation underscores the growing effectiveness of intelligence-led security efforts, with the DSS playing a critical role in raising the bar for intelligence gathering and operational support.

14. The Kogi State Government also expresses profound appreciation to the Sokoto State Government, security agencies in Sokoto State, and all other stakeholders whose cooperation, prompt response and support contributed to the successful operation.

15. We equally commend the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, for his strategic leadership and strong commitment to strengthening the nation's security architecture, as well as the heads of security agencies in Nigeria for their continued support, coordination and dedication to keeping our nation safe.

16. We commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for strengthening the capacities of sub-national governments and security institutions to protect lives and property at the grassroots. The support of Mr. President has been instrumental in the security gains being recorded across Kogi State.

17. The interception of this cache of arms sends a strong message to criminal networks that Kogi State is not and will never be a safe haven for terrorism, banditry, kidnapping or any form of criminality. Criminals operating within and around the State should understand that the walls are closing in on them and that every effort to evade justice will be met with greater determination by security forces.

18. While investigations into the intercepted arms and the activities of the criminal syndicate continue, citizens are assured that there is no cause for alarm. Security agencies have intensified operations and surveillance across strategic locations in the State to ensure the continued safety of residents.

19. The administration of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo remains committed to deploying every lawful means, including intelligence gathering, technological support, community engagement and inter-agency collaboration, to sustain the gains already recorded in the fight against insecurity.

20. We urge citizens to remain vigilant and continue to provide timely and credible information to security agencies. Together, we shall continue to frustrate the plans of criminals and preserve the peace, security and prosperity of Kogi State.

Prove him guilty by calling him his govt names? How can someones name be an insult

So If I want to address Peter Obi, I call him Onwubuasi or Gregory which is his middle name that is an insult

Say Dear Gregory, or Dear Onwubuasi instead of Dear Peter

I read this story, but it just wasn't clear. I saw a post earlier on Twitter where the police said the bomb space was a false alarm.

Now seeing punch writing this jumbled story even makes one more confused.
