One year imprisonment with no option of fine for hawking naira plus forfeiture of the 3 million POS business money to Federal government - all for hawking naira.

Nigeria has happened to this woman despite being guilty of a petty offence.
I hope she had not argued previously with anyone that Nigeria is a good country for everyone.
I sincerely pity her cause something is wrong with that trial judge

Antiurchins:
I'm an Igbo man, but truth be told.
Tinubu won't lose 2027 election.

First of all, he has never lost any political election since he was born and he will most likely not lose 2027.
He is a genius of Nigerian politics and knows how to gain the support of people, he is also among the richest Nigerian politician still living right now and even richer than Atiku Abubakkar. He will use his money to buy his way again.
He has the power of incumbency and won't be as weak as GEJ not to use it to his favour.
I can bet it that he will most likely not lose the election.
You guys made the mistake of allowing him there, now you guys have to wait for 8yrs

What does the bold got to do with the report or whatever you are saying

BeginsAtHome:
The colonialist did theirs, dividing brothers along different countries to weaken them, then the military wanting to deal with the Igbos, borrowed the template.

This absurdity left us with Igbos in Rivers, Delta, Edo, Kogi and Benue states just like Yorubas in Benin, Togo etc.

We must reconcile all natives to their homelands.

Imagine Urhobos in Bayelsa state as Ofonis.

Yes, the deputy governor of Bayelsa state is from Urhobo land.

That is actually a peculiar case unlike the one reported from Edo. Ofoni people actually share two ancestry - Ijaw and Urhobo. They are children of Tarakiri just like some other Urhobo communities in Patani and Bomadi axis like Oduophori, Odorubu etc.
Ofoni people have strong ancestral link with Ijaws that's why you don't hear any problems there - Sen Lawrence, the deputy governor is even a member of the INC despite being Urhobo.

Even Ofoni is an Ijaw name. It is same way in Kiagbodo axis where it is an Ijaw community but you see many speaking Urhobo.

Back to the topic. Same way the Oba of Bini is interfering in matters of people that doesn't concern him with the Igbanke people, he tried to do same with the Ijaw kingdoms in Edo - Egbema kingdom that is divided into Delta and Edo, Furupagha, Okomu, Olodiama, Gbarain.

George Turner is a trouble maker alongside his drunken master

RIP Pope

Citizens want to double their money by all means since government is doubling poverty consistently in the country. More people will still do other ones if they eventually launch.
Being poor in Nigeria is as good as dead man walking and everybody is desperately trying not to be there.


Seeing acute suffering of people around is enough to scare anyone to act without the brain in their quest to make more money.
But Nigerians need to hear word sha.

When they invite you, you must try to know what are they selling? Is it cement, garri or rice etc
Business outcome cannot automatically translate to a predetermined amount and even more difficult when you don't know the commodity they are selling or the service they are providing that will fetch the profit

Something is wrong with the black man especially here in Nigeria.

Even if they want to be stupid which they actually are cause of peanut, it should DISGUST them that another man from another state is presently their governor. The only state out of 36 where a man from another state is ruling them.

Is it that Nigerians can't say NO to something or even remain quiet instead of behaving stupid openly

Righteousness2:
In the Name of JESUS Christ, I
Declare this young man wanted! Wherever he is , I Decree Angelic Invasion nationwide.

I Decree this young Man be Released In JESUS Name...
Amen..

Na by that one?

But Mohammed sold and bought black people as slaves.

Him and his companions beheaded all the men in Banu Quarayza and took the women as slaves.

Can a compassionate person do all that.
To add, he fought over 20 wars most of which he started by himself by sacking villages that refused to accept Islam

America will still use diplomatic relations to get them out from life imprisonment ASAP if they are not dual citizens.

Their names look like men from another country and America

This one will not face football.

I still don't understand how the South that's more advanced in almost all development indicators than the North is slave to it.
The way Southern leaders relate with their peers in the North, I wonder if there is something held by Northeners like maybe a "life cord" that they can pull if southerners don't do what they want.

The way Southern leaders behave stupid (almost across the entire south) in front of northerners is beyond me.

Negligence is our trademark in this continent.

We love "nothing go happen ehhh"

dangermouse:
So the owner if the stolen goods will just loose 800k like that?

The judgement get K leg abeg.

I don't think.

I think the sack of ponmo and stock fish is already recovered.
The 100k each is extra compensation for stealing the goods or perhaps for the interest that should have accrued from the sale

24errand:
It’s normal Obi is from Igbo tribe I don’t expect anything short. They don’t love Yoruba and they don’t hide it right from Zik time, reason they don’t vote Yoruba

Obasanjo is Nupe?

Agugbadin:
Monday Okpebholo don't know that 1.6trillion Naira when Jonathan was president is equivalent to about 16trillion Naira today.Zero IQ please Edo people explain to this so called Uni Abuja graduate.

That man is really dull. I was astonished when I read that nonsense that he said.

He is happy that they are sharing 1.6 trillion now and that it was the annual budget of the country during Jonathan and even used same to praise Tinubu.
That man is dull to a fault.

That his line of argument is actually confirming Tinubu has destroyed Nigeria but because he is dull, he does not know

Tinubu is a disaster

Afriifa:
You don't know how Ijaw nation works. The Rivers Ijaws are the problem in all of these. They are the sold out. They betrayed Ijaw cause by acting on Wike"s script. For example almost all the Ijaw lawmakers from Rivers were with Wike against Fubara. Wike played his politics well by using a Minority clan of Ijaw - Ibani as governor, while using the Majority Ijaw clans Kalabari and Okrika to fight him off.. You know the human greed. That is why in all of these politicsl crisis, you only hear prominent Ijaw voices from Delta, Bayelsa, n Edo, and no voice from the Rivers Ijaw where the main issue is happening. This is because Wike played his politics well. Now the elders will gather, and it depends on what the Rivers Ijaw signals that the rest of Ijaw nation will act on. If Rivers Ijaw says they want the SOE reversed. The Ijaw elders will act on that. But so far the people we are expecting to hear from, regretably are on Wike's side.

Ijaws from other clans and in other states will not go and fight for Ijaws in Rivers. They already made themselves slaves to Wike in Rivers so we'll not act more than the bereaved.

Imagine a day after Wike insulted Ijaw nation, Ijaw community still went ahead to host him in their community despite the Amayanabo telling them to do otherwise. They did not only join Wike to insult their ethnicity by that action but also disrespected their traditional ruler.

The 27 law breakers fomenting trouble in Rivers as slaves to Wike has more Ijaw among them than other ethnic groups in Rivers. About 10 or 11 of them are Ijaw.
If their destiny is to serve the interest of Wike against their ethnicity, then Ijaws in Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Ondo, Akwa Ibom etc cannot sacrifice all or anything to support the very people that cannot put their house in order.

Ijaws have other problems in Akwa Ibom and Edo to worry about.

Normal.

They are a rubberstamp

Some people will come with they are destroying their own environment now.

Same environment that's being destroyed whether the people blow pipelines by themselves or not.
You don't expect people not to use their only bargaining chip whether there are consequences for them or not.

People thinking Tinubu or Wike will solve the problem with military is even more foolish. Ijaw land where I come from, there are pipelines everywhere and so much so in some places that even a small boy can go into the forest with a canoe to blow up certain sections and nobody will know about it.

Nigeria does not have the manpower to protect all the pipelines in the Niger Delta.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. You don't get it Boko Haram has no oil yet more formidable than these economic saboteurs and it's taking over a decade to completely defeat Boko Haram. The might is not in oil but in the military

You are the one that don't get it and rather interpreting his comment upside down.

He is simply telling you the military you are alluding to cannot "effectively" prosecute a war without the money generated from "oil" which is the main stay of our economy and income.
If government is not generating enough, how can your might "military" fight?
Again, the whole country cannot be put on standby because the government needs to prosecute a confrontation using the military. That will create a pausity of funds for other sectors with the consequence of creating another civil disorder that may consume the government.

So yes, the might of every government is its military but the military is nothing without money (oil) in the case of Nigeria

Obapluto:
Ijaw lawmakers follow?

There are more Ijaw lawmakers in the assembly than any other ethnic group in Rivers including the ones that signed this petition

bixton:
I am telling you as it is.
I am very sure you have no ties with even anything that represents Ijaw.
Well, I am not double tongued.
I am Ijaw. I will say it as it is and as I see in the behavior of the Ijaws.

I had colleagues back then who criticized me when Wike was fighting Amaechi that I am not a true Ijaw man. I smiled and told them that I will be laughing when Wike will in turn fight them back someday, and they also be happy about it as they were happy back then.
Those who claim are true Ijaws they can't speak anyone other than throwing threats at Wike. They did his bidding when he was governor and any of them who think they can do otherwise will be fished out.
He knows them and their hiding places. They know what he is capable of doing except these who want to stay in self denial.
We all know ourselves in the region.

The bold gave you away as an impostor. Stop deceiving yourself to reinforce your point.

This one is telling Ijaw man he does not have ties to anything that represents Ijaw. You see how you goofed. You did because you are an impostor.

Wike and Amaechi fought and someone is telling you of not being truly Ijaw. What is the connection with Wike and Amaechi (two Ikwerre) fighting and anything that had to do with you being Ijaw.

Wike is a drunk for saying Ijaws are minority of minorities in the Niger Delta.
Since Wike failed to say who is the majority after mentioning Ijaws in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Ondo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom...you should answer it on his behalf since you know how to put things the way they are.
What is the majority ethnic group in the Niger Delta.
Is it Ikwerre with 3 and half local governments or Itsekiri with 3 half local governments. Is it Bini or Urhobo, Annag, Efik, Isoko, Ibibio

Tradepunter2:
You foolish.... What tax?? Have you ever seen the tax you paid.... I hate people like you

That guy knows nothing more than tax. He loves tax even more than Tinubu and others. Go through his history, the only remedy he is putting forward to solve every problem in Nigeria is tax

bixton:
There are certain things sometimes we just let go.

There is no such thing as Ijaw clan. The umbrella body they makes Ijaws falls under izon...they are all izon or ijo clans.

Wike is quite right in his assertions.

If you come to even Bayelsa State you'll never hear the Ogbia, Epie, Nembe or Brass person say they are Ijaws......
Do you know why?

Ask them again.
Sone of these people claiming Ijaw and saying they are Ijaws now is just because of politics and nothing more.


Wike categorical said that the ijaws in Rivers State are a minority within the minority and the only State where they are a majority is the Bayelsa State.
Even at that those in Bayelsa State will only agree because now it looks like Wike is insulting the ijaws but deep down ask any of the above I've listed they will first tell you as it is even before mentioning Ijaw as a tribe.

I am not having this rudderless debate with you.
If you are not Ijaw, I don't think you earn the right to tell the reading public who is Ijaw and who is not.
If they are not Ijaw, how come Wike said he made Ijaw man governor.

By your logic, maybe Ijebu, Egba, Awori, Ilaje, Egun etc are not Yoruba or political Yoruba since there should not be clans in Yoruba land. Are Igbos from one single source? Some of you just say anything you like online.

Where is the Nembe man that told you he is not Ijaw. Same Wike that you are agreeing with that's going around and talking like a drunken, he went to Kalabari land to make other claims like they are the original Ijaws, in your view are they political Ijaws too since they will mention their clan name before their ethnicity.

Cmanforall:
Ok, I get your point.
Thought he said Ijaws are minorty in the 'South', which is true. But then the 'South' would have been SouthEast, SouthSouth and SouthWest. It is rude of him to demean any tribe

I get your point too but you are still not saying what he said.

Wike said Ijaws are minority in the Niger Delta not "South" like you are saying.
The South like you rightly said includes the South West and South East where you have the Yorubas and Igbos. Wike was not referring to them.
He specifically said Niger Delta that's why he specifically mentioned the states where Ijaws are in the Niger Delta like Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom - he fell short of mentioning Ondo because he probably does not know Ijaws are in Ondo or he deliberately did not mention it because Ondo is in a Yoruba region and outside of the Niger Delta he was referring to.

Again, Wike's intent was to demean Ijaw people because every right thinking person know Ijaws are the majority in the Niger Delta and even in Rivers where he was governor for 8 years. It is same reason he had to mock late Edwin Clark in his stupid tirade.
In his media whatever, he said he made Ijaw man governor in Rivers despite opposition, but now he went to another Ijaw territory and said Fubara is not Ijaw again.

It is only a mad man or someone trying to create rancour and insult Ijaw people that will behave in that manner in less than a week.

Cmanforall:
Wike may be right here about Ijaws being a minority tribe in the South. That an Ijaw man became a president of Nigeria is a privilege, and not because of the tribe. Most people wouldn't have known the Ijaw tribe in Nigeroa, if not for Jonathan as a president

Can you tell the reading public what tribe is the majority in the Niger Delta since Wike failed to do so despite his ranting like a drunken man.

If Wike rightly mentioned Ijaws in Delta State, Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Ondo etc then still somehow managed to say Ijaws are not majority in the ND but minority of minority, who then is the majority since you agree with his stupid claim.

Is it Ikwerre that's in 4 local governments throughout the whole Niger Delta that's majority? Is it Isoko on 2 local governments. Is it Bini people that are in Edo state alone, a state where they share with many other ethnic groups.
Is it Urhobo that's sharing Delta State with many other ethnic groups with about 8-9 local governments. Is it Efik in Cross River alone that's sharing that state with many other ethnic groupa. Is it Ibibio, Annang or Itsekiri that's sharing 3 half local governments with Urhobo and Ijaw with none exclusively for themselves?

How is Ijaw with spread over 6 states in the Niger Delta a minority of Minority. Tell us who is the majority...

Again his other theory is as stupid as the first one where he said he made an Ijaw son governor because they are a majority and that Ijaws cannot produce a governor in Delta State, Edo, Akwa Ibom etc.
Itsekiri in Delta State like I said before share the 3 warri local governments with Ijaw and Urhobo. They don't have a single exclusive local government of their own yet they've produced a governor in the state - Emmanuel Oduaghan.

Did Oduaghan become governor because Itsekiri are majority in Delta State let alone Niger Delta.

Wike only wanted to demean Ijaw people and create rift between the Ijaw clans in Rivers state and not because he does not know Ijaws are the majority tribe in the Niger Delta.

Bigshots001:
That's the only thing you have to say?? The Truth is coming out from whom you hate...😁

Where did you see me say I hate Trump?

This man child saying another dumb shvt again.

A president that talks like a market woman.

"never seen before" is his favourite line that goes along with whatever he is saying.

Either it is deportation never seen before or tariffs never seen before

Gajagojo:
Your mother is stupid

She will die a stupid shameful and painful death

So you suddenly understood I insulted you
Thought you don't understand anything. I was expecting you to return with another of your stupid elusive comments.

Stupid boy .

Your curse don't worth more than the ink. If you had any power, you would have cured yourself of stupidity.

Osanoghodua1:
Wike is right, blow up pipe line, anniliate the militants for breaking the laws. If you don't know this is terrorist threatening Nigeria. I don't like Wike but an Ijaw man should stop threatening to blow up all pipe lines.

Why you and the people wey you dey bank on never annihilate boko haram in almost 20 years?

You think fighting insecurity in a country is one easy task. Do you know the man power and resources that goes into that waste. How many military men has died fighting boko haram, how much do you think has been expended since 2009 in fighting them.

When they blow up pipelines, where do you want to see the money to fight insecurity

Gajagojo:
The majority?

You need to define what you mean so that we are talking about the same thing

for example by your meaning

which ethnic group is the majority in Nigeria?

Your opening comment that I responded to was a very stupid one devoid of any sound thought.

The subsequent ones has shown you are even more stupid than I thought.

Have the day you deserve.

Gajagojo:
Did you do English at WAEC level?

Who is a pronoun that refers to a single person.
One person cannot be THE MAJORITY

so you need to rephrase your question clearly

Which ethnic group is the majority in Rivers state?
