Administration1:They've seen it that's why the police authority is now begging for amicable settlement. Nobody is even talking about the police charging 30,000 for bail because of carpenter and chairs. Nigeria police is one dark hole that whenever I see people supporting them, it saddens me. If you report a matter at the station, the reporter (complaint) will pay and the accused will pay as well 5 Likes 1 Share |

seunmsg:You should be more concerned with security agencies going after the corrupt politicians using the right means. You hear of this because the one in question is a prominent man that could afford legal fees. Security agencies while conducting their business do this and even far worse to ordinary people. They can go after corrupt people and still do it the right way. Going after corrupt people is not an excuse for violation 1 Like |
Politics / Re: “We Will Know Who Is In Charge Soon” – Wike Blows Hot, Visits APC Chairman by ReubenE(m): 4:44pm On Jan 08 |
jamesversion:@ first paragraph, nobody said Jaja don't have Igbo DNA. Lemme give you an example. In my maternal village in Delta State, there are Igbo men and women with their families that has lived in the community for years, some even fought alongside the Ijaws when they had ethnic conflicts with other Urhobo villages. As with Ijaw culture, they are now full members of the community as Ijaw people...they can even ascend the throne of the community as full indigenes. Now in all of these, nobody denies them of their right to be Igbos if they so desire. By your assertion, if any of them occupy the stool of that village tomorrow, the stool would no longer be Ijaw because they have Igbo DNA? The stool is still Ijaw whether it started with them or not (as in the case of Jaja) or they ascended to it down the road as the occupant must be Ijaw either by ancestry or through acculturation in the case of Jaja. Jaja was made an Ijaw man even before he founded the territory Opobo. The stool of Opobo is ethnically tied to Bonny whether Jaja a former Igbo slave boy that was made Ijaw man started it or not. The only problem I see here is the Ijaws accepting other people easily as one of them because of their abhorrence for slavery and servitude. Your last two paragraphs, I will ignore. |

43Ronin:Nobody said people in Opobo don't speak Igbo alongside Ijaw. I only called your attention based on your claim that Jaja is the founder of their tribe. Jaja is the founder of the territory Opobo and not the tribe |
Politics / Re: “We Will Know Who Is In Charge Soon” – Wike Blows Hot, Visits APC Chairman by ReubenE(m): 11:00pm On Jan 07 |
43Ronin:wrong, not the founder of their tribe but the founder of Opobo. Their tribe/ethnicity has long being in existence before Jaja the slave boy was even born. Does it even make sense to you that you said their "tribe started with Jaja". Jaja that just existed few hundred years ago. Don't confuse the language they speak as their tribe. Jaja did not give birth to everybody in Opobo and Opobo does not have only the Jaja family. He left for Opobo from Bonny with people, not just himself and those people other than himself have a tribe. Side note: Jaja was bought as a slave and made a free Ijaw man so y'all obsession with sneaking Igbo into Opobo Ijaw affairs in Rivers is concerning. The stool of Opobo is Ijaw so that alone should be enough to discontinue the petty sentiments |
Politics / Re: Nigeria Ranks 22nd In Cheapest Petrol Prices Globally - Global Petrol Prices by ReubenE(m): 9:43pm On Jan 07 |
Chicagograduate:You are just disturbing yourself with many other factors. Look at the oil producing countries like Nigeria in the report and look at the prices attached to them. Iran sells gas N26, Libya, Venezuela etc sell less than N40. You'll not see the so called Nigeria government and their merchants talk about that but compare themselves to a tiny place like Hong Kong that sell over 2k because that's where their interest lie in doing same thing here 4 Likes 1 Share |

folake4u:Atican is okay not because it ticks all the boxes. The sand is clean, the water is okay and you can take your stuff there unlike Landmark. The only downside is the distance and roads around that axis is not very good. I love beach noise and loud music so I still go to Oniru more often than others. It is easier for me to commute to and fro and manage the traffic unlike that Lekki axis since I live on the mainland. If you don't like congested environment, don't go near that place |

Politics / Re: 26 Rivers State House Of Assembly Members Who Defected To APC Have Lost by ReubenE(m): 1:35pm On Dec 30, 2023 |
shinealight:It is obvious you don't know what the law says about "division" in a political party hence this your comeback. How is disobedience to law or refusal to enforce the law a judicial precedent to justify another wrongdoing in the case of Umahi that you mentioned. He is there because no one approached the courts to reprimand him for his wrongdoing. To your first point again. It is bemusing that you referenced a court order restraining one certain individual from parading himself as the secretary of the PDP as division in the part. If you are the attorney of the former 26 lawmakers, they would be disappointed if this is what you come up with in their defense |

shinealight:The PDP divided into what exactly? There is no leadership division in the PDP both at national and state levels. Section 109 paragraph (g) did not provide for throwing tantrums as division for defection so you are trying to be clever by half. Those former lawmakers cannot even defend what they did cause it is clear to all and sundry including them that they are wrong. They only relied on manipulating our weak judicial system to get a pass and not because there is a valid ground for their action according to law |
Politics / Re: 26 Rivers State House Of Assembly Members Who Defected To APC Have Lost by ReubenE(m): 10:28am On Dec 30, 2023 |
Putindbutt:Their seats are not just vacant because of the declaration of those you are pointing at, their seats are vacant because of the action of the 26 members. The law is clear, if the current speaker had not declared their seats vacant, the law empowers the platform upon which they were elected (PDP) to approach the courts for the same declaration. In fact it extends to any of their constituents approaching the courts to declare their seats vacant if their defection is in contravention of the law. You might want to find out the facts from our national law book before calling people names so you don't become that yourself |

Politics / Re: Henry Ajomale: Buhari Left Huge Mess For Tinubu – Ex-Lagos APC Chairman by ReubenE(m): 4:53pm On Dec 26, 2023 |
nairalanda1:The budget is still 33 billion today because it is not used for what it is meant for. If the 33 billion is utilized, the 33 billion that is looking thin to you would naturally increase because there would be productivity. If Nigeria budgets 500 billion, the same reason(s) why the 33 billion is not working or looking thin would make it thin too because there would be nothing to show for it. Industrialization is entrenched not by simply having more money to spend. @ last paragraph, I wasn't arguing with you as we agree on most points. Was only pointing your attention at the direction that "welfarism" is not really our problem which you seem to be against vehemently. No form of government or type of economic system neglects government providing certain welfare for its people, and providing it should not stop government from performing other responsibilities if the country is a serious one.

nairalanda1:I don't understand what you mean. The crux of my point is, there's no thin revenue. The revenue is looking thin to ordinary people because it is stolen in astronomical levels. Nigeria has more than enough revenue to run a healthy country if we are a serious people especially in our political circle Whether it is an indictment on the current government and party is another thing but believing the idea that Nigeria is not industrialized because we have thin revenue is false. It is a narrative by government to further shirk its responsibilities to the people. Most Nigerians provide everything for themselves including providing security. |
