Emperor wicked Wike will soon be rounded up with one order. Abuja no be southern Nigeria wey governors dey do anyhow and the people are scared🤷🏿.

Since 1979 till date, WIKE is the only SOUTHERNER to be appointed as FCT Minister. The appointment was made by President Tinubu. In those days despite Lagos Island being the Capital of Nigeria whose boundary stopped at Ajegunle (Boundary), Musa Yaradua was the Minister of Lagos Affairs.

Since 1979 WIKE is the only SOUTHERNER to be appointed as the FCT Minister. It is now I know the reason His Highness Asari Dokubo supported WIKE on the encounter between WIKE and the officer. Sir Government TOMPOLO has not spoken.

Letter of Intent as at 2007. The Retired CNS should be a Commander or Navy Captain (Army Colonel) as at that time.

The best way to get a land at Atlantic city, Banana Island and Osborne 2 or Parkview and other luxurious areas of Lagos now is to transfer illegally acquired land ownership to a Retired Service Chief and protect the land with an NDA Trained Commissioned Officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces against enforcement by an Agency working under Nigerian Constitution.

BBAthechasepix:
Irabor is completely wrong on this, spectacularly so. Under the law, military personnel have absolutely zero business in civil land administration. Building regulation enforcement belongs to the FCDA, not to anyone in camouflage trying to act like an honorary land officer. The Armed Forces are not empowered to guard illegal construction sites, obstruct demolitions, or reinvent themselves as private bouncers for people violating building regulations.

So when a soldier casually strolls into such a site without any official mandate, the uniform does not magically erase the powers the law gives to the FCTA. That is a fact, not an opinion. A soldier cannot interfere with Development Control operations, cannot stop a lawful demolition, and certainly cannot pretend their presence carries any legal weight. In this scenario, their presence has exactly the same legal value as a spectator leaning on the fence, none.

Wike knew this perfectly well, and he played it right for the cameras, just to remind everyone, including the military, that nobody is above the laws of the land.

You are talking too much. I am looking for ways to delete my views because of dream that I had about an hour ago. The best thing and the most honourable thing for WIKE is just to resign.

VOsimhen144:
Wike go weak through out this week.

The most honourable thing and the best thing for him is just to resign as the FCT Minister. He is the First Southerner to be appointed FCT Minister since 1985. He has tried his best. He is going to face other challenges if he continues and he is helpless. It is high time he resigned.

Richtaiwo:
Very good one from former CDS.

In addition to that, the existence of that uniform is the reason wike is free to move around to wherever he wish. In fact, his power and authority is remotely related to the existence of that uniform.

Abeg, if your brain can't process this simple logic, don't bother to quote. I don't have that luxury of time teaching adults common sense.

That was the reason in November 3, 2008 a lady Uzoma Okere refused to give way to security team escort of Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade's convoy in traffic and engaged in verbal altercations resulting in being beaten up and there was wild condemnation against the convoy and different panel of enquiry and court cases against the Rear Admiral and attached Naval Ratings. Nigeria required a discerned minds to know what is happening.

VIOs , Power Utility companies, Revenues Mobilization or Collection officers, Road Safety Officers, Building Integrity evaluation officers and others may not perform their duties effectively again.

Since 1985, Wike is the First Southerner to be appointed as FCT Minister.

The most honourable thing and the best thing for Wike to do is to resign as FCT Minister.

Antoeni:
What happened was not just an abuse of power, it was an indictment of a failed system that worships personalities over institutions. Wike forgot he’s not the commander-in-chief. Yerima showed restraint and discipline, something many so-called leaders lack including Wike who didn't know he was not supposed to engage an officer on duty.
Nigeria doesn’t need strongmen; it needs strong systems. Until we learn that, this cycle of embarrassment will continue. APC and sense is very far from each other

You can write for likes and you will get many of it . Abuse of POWER is different from Abuse of System. Abuse of power also have definition of wrongly usage of power by constituted authority.

It is not Wike that was humiliated it is the Chief of Defence Staff that was humiliated. I remembered how a Police Officer that led the enforcement team for demolition of Magodo Estate humiliated Sanwoolu few years ago.

It is not Wike that was humiliated but the System that was humiliated. As FCT Minister, Wike has right to exercise the authority bestow upon him to carry out his constitutional duties without restrictions.

It is the CDS that was humiliated. Serving and retired Military Officers will analyze it later.

During OBASANJO regime , Ahmadu Ali a retired Military Officer and Chairman of PDP lost his houses to Demolition when El Rufai was FCT Minister .

In that little altercation those who are experienced would have seen many things and how Aguiyi Ironsi and Fajuyi were executed at Ibadan

I was told the Army man told CDS he cannot obey his order because he is taking orders from his Boss. The fight against terrorism and banditry and insurgency would be very difficult to win.

Yobabad:
The better stop protesting, Ibadan needs urgent face left there is too much brown rusted roof which is an eye sore, by the way Yoruba Muslims claims Ibadan is Nigeria than the whole of SS

Why are they protesting? They are not ashamed of themselves. The problem is that most of them don't travel. They don't see the insult on Social Media. They should travel to South East and South South. They should travel to Kano and see things for themselves.

Some years back, Prophet DK Olukoya of MFM was preaching about SPIRITUAL Battles. He mentioned many things. He now spoke about problems associated with backgrounds and environment. He said there is a City, a prominent city, he said all the States created out of the City and other States created later are moving forward but the city development remain stagnated. My mind immediately went to IBADAN.

Seyi Makinde Wife is from Rivers State. If those people protesting travel to ONITSHA, ABA to see the courage of the IGBOS and visit Uyo they will return back to their houses. I was at Uyo in 1987. Uyo was like a Village compared to South West standard of that time. Only ABA Road was the major road in Portharcourt . Douglas & Wetheral are the only modern roads in Owerri. Now, those Cities are modern cities. Few months ago I went to Airport from Gate using old Ife Road, Sawmill, Alakia. I was very proud of Makinde as an Engineer.

Ladoja was a governor 2003 - 2007. These people want road designed 18 years ago to be left the same way by an Engineer Governor. That is not possible. Houses were destroyed to build Adamasingba Stadium.

The man may be killed anytime soon

Obadiah Mailafia (Rest in Peace).

The story of Obadiah that sacrificed his life for the truth. Wikipedia

August 20, 2020, Mailafia while appearing as a guest on a local radio claimed that he was in the know that some former Boko Haram fighters confessed that one of the country's northern governors was the commander of the terrorist group. Three days later, the country's media watchdog, the NBC, slammed the station for "[providing] its platform for the guest, Dr Mailafia Obadiah, to promote unverifiable and inciting views that could encourage or incite to crime and lead to public disorder", and fined it the sum of ₦5m. Several weeks later, Nigeria's secret police, the SSS, invited Mailafia to its office to offer clarification on his claims and the national police also said he was under criminal investigation. In response, Mailafia granted an interview to a newspaper saying that his life was in danger and that "powerful political forces want to silence me forever for speaking the truth".

Megatone:
I foresee Prof. C.C Soludo CFR being the first Igbo president if the South East is ever given a chance.

His track records speaks loud volume about his personality.

He did very well as CBN Governor and he is presently doing well as Governor of Anambra State.

Kudos to Ndi Anambra..... Una no dey carry last for anything

Soludo may be the President from South East. OBASANJO tactically started the Project but Time was not on his side.

HgAkpobomeEr:
We dont need to deepen anything.

Liberia and the U.S. have enhanced bilateral cooperation by increasing U.S. visa validity for Liberians and reaching an agreement regarding a high-profile migrant.

The U.S. Department of State announced that B1, B2, and B1/B2 visas for Liberians now have a 36-month validity under a revised reciprocity agreement.

Liberia will accept Kilmar Abrego on humanitarian grounds, with specific assurances for his protection from harm.

Discussions in Washington, D.C., were instrumental in restoring Liberia’s pre-civil-war visa privileges and improving migration frameworks.

The above was culled from Business Insider Africa.

RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT. Trump revoked over 80,000 immigrants VISA of those whose Countries rejected RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT of which NIGERIA is number one.

Nigeria is supposed to be the Eyes and Ears of Trump in Africa but instead Tinubu followed South Africa to BRICS.

Trump imposed 14% Tarrif on imported products from Nigeria and America First policy. Tinubu imposed 15% Tarrif on imported petroleum products and Nigeria First Policy. That is too confrontational.

Almost 3 years in Office he has not been on discussion table with US, he has shown he is not a friend of US but that of China. BUHARI paid $400 million in 2018 for Jet Fighters that would be delivered in 2021 just to have 10 minutes audience with Trump. Nigeria ended up spending over $500 million on those Jets and they are restricted only to North East usage. Tinubu is expected to have paid $1 billion dollars for another set of fighter jets and Military support to deepens relationship with Trump.

Afriifa:
After he has gone silent for a decade

Silent? He always speak to his children during Holy Ghost Service. The problem with you and your types is that he is not saying what you want to hear.

Baba Adeboye said he has only been involved in protests or processions twice all his life. First in 1964 as a student of UNN and a few years back when he carried a placard that said:
ALL SOULS ARE PRECIOUS TO GOD. This Statement was intentionally Omitted here because of various falsehood attributed to Baba Adeboye here and other Social Media by some well known people out of bitterness.

DomPerignon:
Did you read the article at all?

The lump sum includes developing a FTZ and a sea port that will cover over 1,700 hectares.

Its not just a refinery being built but a sea port and an industrial zone.

Ondo State is always signing MOU to develop FTZ without any success. More than 10 MOU were signed by different governors to develop Bitumen without anything to show for it. Is it now that we are facing threat from US that a struggling Honeywell Group and other consortium secured $50 billion funding? This is a pure political propaganda.

trutharena:
Emergency base ko, Ebe base ni

The Military Base is urgently and seriously needed. The South cannot just be passive. AZMAN Air planes went to IRAN last year . The US Intelligence have report on activities going on in Nigeria. We also need a military base in South West .

Northern greedy politicians are making billions of naira from insurgent. They don't want it to end. Terrorism and banditry give them control over gold deposits in Zamfara and minerals deposit in Borno and Katsina. They are afraid US Military Base in Nigeria would give the US much needed Intelligence Report to launch attacks against Terrorists.

LagosOrigin:
This are United States forces that will wipe out Boko haram in just a day

Looking at them from afar, you're seeing trees but that is death staring at you

This northern terrorists think they stand a chance

They don't stand any chance. President Tinubu should allow the US to build Military Base in Nigeria. The Northern Elites and Elders are against it because it would checkmate their terrorism and banditry activities, expose the GENOCIDE being committed in Benue and Plateau and expose the grievances from South East and South.

AZMAN Air planes went to IRAN last year . The US Intelligence have report on activities going on in Nigeria. We need US Military Base in Nigeria (Lagos).

frog12:
they must impeach their pastor governor

It is not the Pastor, it is the FULANI. The genocide has been going on for over 10 years

Quarterpast:
Benue is under siege
The state is now worse than Borno .

I'm tired of life.
I'm exiting

President Tinubu, there is Genocide in Nigeria. There is GENOCIDE in Nigeria. There is GENOCIDE in Nigeria. Some of us that are against Trump over the GENOCIDE accusation did so because of wrong caption. There is GENOCIDE in Benue. There is GENOCIDE in Benue. This is too much.

It is the Religious sentiment introduced by USAID Team in Nigeria that made some of us opposed the report. I am aware that the victims of the GENOCIDE are christians. They have been killing them for over 10 years.

President Tinubu, please allow US to have a Military Base in Nigeria. If the Northern Elites and Elders rejected it, we want it in South.

BlackViper:
Questions:

Who was using these 6 individuals to launder money for Boko Haram?

How did all the anti money laundering measures put in place by the Buhari administration fail to uncover this operation?

Boko Haram has experienced a resurgence since 2023 and they have become even more deadly and spawned splinter cells who are equally as dangerous as they are. They now use sophisticated weapon systems like grid drones and guided missiles.

Who is behind the funding these groups today?

I think President Tinubu should allow US to establish Military Base in Nigeria. Why is Northern Elites and Elders against Military Base in Nigeria. They are hiding something.

US Military Base cannot be in Nigeria and Communities in Plateau and Benue States would be wiped off repeatedly for years without any arrest. Also, Bandits are having meetings with Northern States governors openly.

I think there is something hidden somewhere. US can take whatever action it can take if the North resisted the establishment of US Military Base in Nigeria. The Base can be in South West.

You and who .

The ZOO called Nigeria is dead , just waiting for her final burial date.
God bless President Trump
GOD BLESS USA

You are deceiving yourself. You are hiding under Christians Genocide accusations by US. That is hypocrisy. Your joy is the inclusion of missing 5,000 people which Mike Arnold and his team claimed were moved from South East to Secret facilities in the North since 2015.

Why compare Iraq and Libya to Nigeria? Why not Afghanistan where Taliban drove away the US? After invasion, is Trump going to kill all the FULANI in West Africa? Is Trump going to drive away the FULANI from their settlements in Southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue? Is Trump going to stop Jihadist movement across Sub Saharan AFRICA? Is Trump going to create separate country for Chibok and Dapchi and other Christian Communities in Borno? Is Trump coming to impose President on Nigerians and cage nomadic FULANI from moving across West Africa? What about the crisis in the predominantly Muslim dominated North West and North East? What is Trump invasion coming to do here?

Problems between FULANI and Native indigenes that are predominantly Christians cannot be termed Christians Genocide. The Natives that are minority in Nigeria are mainly devoted Christians and farmers, but we must realize there is conflict over ownership of settlements and territories . Also, there is banditry which affected both Christians and Muslim.

The inclusion of missing 5,000 people moved from South East to secret facilities in the North in 2015 which is in Mike Arnold Team Investigation report
revealed the backbone of the report.

Well, the US pressurized Nigeria to setup a Military Base which Nigeria refused. Refusal to accept deported Criminals. Refusal to submit to IMF blackmail and NIGERIA First procurement policy and imposition of 15% Tariffs on imported petroleum products and BRICS membership which Trump considered confrontational are what I considered the focal point of Trump's outbursts.

You said you are just waiting for America to give the signal. You said you and your people are ready. I pity you .

Ezeama400:
Anything to save the lives of Christian is welcomed..

Nigerians are happy and exicted!!

Only the enemies of Nigeria who want the genocide to continue are afraid of America..

Anither563:
Fake news is a serious crime against national security and must be treated as such.

Is it even possible to book an appointment to see Bishop Oyedepo or Baba Adeboye within 48 hours? Is it even possible to book an official appointment with Sanwoolu or Obafemi Hamzat within 48 hours?

When mass action to create crisis using funds from foreign mercenaries failed, when Coup failed, the next is propaganda. The worst thing is that that is what is acceptable here

How is it possible to change the itinerary of the President of the most populous black nation within 48 hours? Despite the Diplomatic maneuvers it may not be easy to book an appointment to meet US Vice President within 48 hours. OMOYELE SOWORE should have known this but decided to continue his propaganda.

chiagozien:
Christians are targeted in Nigeria.




Fact.



Even Tinubu said it during buhari government

Propaganda is flying up and down. You claimed Tinubu said Christians are the target of attack during BUHARI regime. When?

Well, I have nothing to say. I saw a Punch Newspaper heading used for Propaganda on Facebook and Twitter. I requested for the date because the date section was blurry and the Country Director of one of the USAID Agencies in Nigeria wanted a copy from Punch Newspaper Archives. I asked the date from the person he refused to mention the date. We know such publication never existed. We do see many of it on nairaland. They bring different old history books that never existed or edited version for propaganda.

The information I got here now is very useful. Mike Arnold was invited by Nuhu Ribadu coordinated by Reno Omokri. I am aware Mike Arnold came with a team.

I once worked in Foreign Diplomatic Mission in Abuja that is one of the largest Donor to advocacy programs in Nigeria. I know how local staff orientation and political leaning can affect what officials and those on Missions to Nigeria are being fed as information.

Mike Arnold and Reno Omokri are together and we are seeing different information from a personal friend on Social Media.

Intelligently, they said 5,000 people moved from South East since 2015 to secret facilities in the North and are not found. They are invited by the office of NSA coordinated by Reno Omokri. Monkey must eat Banana. I know Mike Arnold must have been eating Banana in Nigeria either on personal wish or by set up. The direct information channel is now the Banana. The ethnicity and political leaning of the Banana affect the report.

My advice to Femi Fani Kayode is to calm down first. There is a game here.

Abdul05:
Gumi has a point....about trump politics..

But let be honest...Nigerians of all faiths are victims of the same violence..

Calling it Christian genocide is misleading..our fight is against insecurity..not each other

When the Northern Elites, Elders and different groups told Tinubu to reject the establishment of US Military Base in Nigeria despite several pleas, several lobbying I wrote on nairaland that the NORTH cannot singlehandedly decide what happens to the entire NIGERIA. If the North doesn't want Military Base it can be established in South West NIGERIA. Why is the North afraid of US Military Base? Are they hiding something? The North gives the US the tendency to believe that terrorism is being sponsored by Islamic Jihadist.

Malam Hakeem Baba Ahmed, why did the North rejected the establishment of US Military Base in Nigeria?

FarahAideed:
Please why is Trump describing Nigeria as a disgraced country

Because Tinubu rejected the establishment of Military Base in Nigeria. Tinubu rejected deportation of criminals. Tinubu refused to dance to IMF blackmail, NIGERIA First policy , 15% tarrif on imported petroleum products.

Lolz, this new kid on the block is likely a mercenary being paid to run this agenda.
You spoke to some random imam and equate his views with any and every opposing view? Really? Reno doesn't want killing to stop, government doesn't want insecurity to end? Anyway, you have a ready audience.

He is a Mercenary. Nairaland is not the best platform for this truth. What sells here is propaganda. The mercenary have a ready audience here. I believe DIA, NMI, DSS should put him on monitoring list. Already, some of those working with USAID, DFID and other International CSOs are on espionage duties. Some are mercenaries. I encountered them while working for a major International Organization that is one of the World's largest Donor to NGOs. It got to a level the Regional Security Officers in Charge of Nigeria, Ghana and Togo blacklisted me as a Spy planted by the NIGERIA government to extract information for NIGERIA. I believe this mercenary is on the Watchlist of Security Agencies

aribisala0:
You need to open the space for imports of cement

$7 Cement is unfriendly to infrastructure ambitions

Cement is $2 in China
The other thing us construction should be buying cement by the tonne at wholesale prices

This is how those people destroyed all the very big Textile industries in Lagos, Kaduna and Kano with their Importation mentality. Tinubu is not Jonathan that allowed IBETO to import and repackage in Portharcourt while DANGOTE, BUA, Lafarge and others were investing billions of dollars to create Industries that produce locally.

DaddyJapan:
Of course, that differentiation can be made with ease if it is required.

But it was not my focus when I responded.

You didn't get me. Those who knows what I am saying understand. I will stop here. The ignorance is boldly written in that your long breakdown. Let us wish the Service Chiefs well in their new engagements. Bye

Homeboiy:
So E .I OGALLA don go

But that Aneke be like na Nkanu man

I know over 80% of the comments here is from your brothers. You still have time to go deeper to analyze the sub ethnic background of AVM Aneke. I remembered when Oga Irabor was appointed as CDS, OHANEZE NDIGBO said Delta Igbo should not be given IGBO slot.

Why so much apprehension? To the extent someone carried out an AI breakdown of CDS influence. Can AI differentiate between a Service Chief (COAS, CAS , CNS) promoted to CDS and a General who was never a Service Chief before being made a CDS?

I wish NIGERIA well. As I always say, Late Dr Doyin Okupe and Baba Ayo Adebanjo created the nuisances on ground. The irrational noise makers, distortions, distractions and unnecessary pollution of the political space are caused by them. The government is now tackling problems that are not supposed to be on ground.

Funny Corn3.
Imagine Man U being the one to appoint & be responsible for the welfare/salaries of the referee that will officiate in their match against Arsenal.

Is it a new rule? How was it done previously?
Why do want things to be done differently now? Was there any complain when other Chairman was elected? How was Humphrey Nwosu and Maurice Iwu appointed?

It is just like the case of Nduka Obaigbena and First Bank.

My problem now is this; most of us know how FEMI OTEDOLA was dehumanized and blackmailed to the extent he was considering suicide because of harassment from Creditors. He was betrayed and his shares in Transcorp taken. Nobody complained. This is just as Justice Ayo Salami was dehumanized under Jonathan Government and nobody complained.

Now, what about $225 million debts to First Bank? As it is now, AIT Lagos is down and there is no possibility of PDP coming to power in the next four years for another juicy deals to repay the debts. Mr Chris, what is the way forward?

If Femi OTEDOLA or Wale Tinubu is the one owing any of your Banks this money the usual well known propaganda noise would have blocked the national media space.

I really pity for Cole,the man hopes and dreams of being a governor is dead,
His Arch rival Wike now controls his state party APC and PDP choiii

Even if he goes to court nothing will come out...

Wasted money..his lawyers know but they want appearance fee🤣

I really pity Tonye Cole, infact, I always weep internally whenever I remember him. My sympathy is based on the fact that his father is a Statesman, a fine gentleman, urbane, civilized and a good man . Chief Patrick Dele Cole is a personal friend of Alex Ibru the Founder of Guardian Newspaper and other conglomerates. I read the Tributes he wrote to celebrate the Life and Time of Alex Ibru when Alex Ibru died. My sympathy is also based on my visiting Sahara Group several times some years ago and my visit to Tanami Limited at Parkview Estate some years ago. I know Teles Nkuru very well but I hate the personality of Amaechi for personal reasons. Why I always weep for Tonye is that I felt Amaechi is not his type of person. They have nothing in common. I weep because I felt Tonye Cole is being caged by Amaechi I never knew they had a deal together before until this evening on nairaland that I saw $308 million Gas deal.

Before 2023 election Rivers State APC addressed Press Four times to inform the public that WIKE was planning to rig Rivers election for Tinubu. Rivers APC complaining that WIKE was working for APC Presidential Candidate. Is that not madness? Rivers APC was working against APC Presidential Candidate but wanted Tonye the Governorship candidate to win under WIKE as a governor, is that not an illusion? I was wondering what caged Tonye under Amaechi, I never knew they had done business before until I read now on nairaland.

Failed nation. See how militants are wasting free money. Why cant our navy or military protect our pipelines?

Is that a wastage? There is a YORUBA parable that says " it is only a well trained and a very intelligent thief that can investigate and track another well trained and intelligent thief operating in a very dangerous and difficult terrain ". You don't send an inexperienced person to run after an experienced disgruntled fighter operating in a very dangerous and difficult terrain.

State of Emergency was declared in Portharcourt because of smoke around a pipeline that is a very critical National Asset. That Pipeline alone can affect the entire country Economy. Security in NigerDelta is beyond CRUDE OIL smuggling. Pipeline surveillance is beyond CRUDE OIL smuggling. In Portharcourt, that smoke that was seen around that critical National Asset if it was sabotage, His Highness Asari Dokubo will know, he will also know the group responsible for it. The Armed Forces Intelligent Units may never get to know what transpired. The same is applicable in Niger Delta (Warri Zone).

US, Russian, German and others spend heavily on Intelligence gathering and monitoring.

High Chief Tompolo investing the money in Niger Delta Security Trust Fund is a welcome idea.

General, rest in peace. You will forever be remembered by us.
