Penguin2:
Wait, so Edison (elected by 5 people) later succeeded in becoming Speaker of Rivers State against Wike’s men numbering above 20?

Lol!

After seeing Fubara speaking Igbo, I was no longer surprised at how he was treating Wike’s madness asap.

Only an Igbo man can muster such balls.

With Edison as Speaker, the job becomes more difficult, and almost impossible, for Wike to remove Fubara except through the courts which will be to the benefit of LP.

So, either way, Wike is fvcked!

I hope his agbado people come to help him remove Fubara.

Fubara is an Ijaw man so be guided.
Speaking Igbo is not the proof of Igbo nativity, anybody that speaks Igbo in the world must be Igbo I guess

I believe you have being in a banking premises before, have you notice the wide gap between the deposit queue and the withdrawal queue

Negative pronouncement is like the deposit queue, no crowd so things happen fast

Positive pronouncement/prayers is like GTB atm withdrawal spot ... the queue will not be here, before e reach your turn it might seems forever But God answer prayers

The funniest thing I have read in a very long time.

Fountainofyouth:
There is power in the tongue, what if he suddenly drops dead for real? People should mind what they pronounce on themselves.

While what he did is stupid and reckless, the tongue has no power apart from tasting food whether for real or figuratively. Millions has been pronouncing money-wealth on themselves for years but are still broke as Bleep or just living an average life.

If that logic is right, why does the negative pronouncements work and the positive ones don't, is it that the devil listens and grants requests more?

YeyeGbami:


na piracy no allow them see better money.

While that is true but this guy lived a profligate lifestyle.
Met him on few occasions where I worked in Apapa years ago, always in powerbikes with escort of friends, smokes like shit and carried a lot of women.

These Nollywood legends need to be intentional about their retirement years especially as they grow older since they don't have gold to sell like their young female counterparts these days.

May he find the help he needs though

What is Prof Soyinka saying about the high inflation in the country and the reckless spending of government at all levels

The vote buying that took place in Bayelsa may be the highest in Nigeria's history.

Nobody really should expect anything from anybody that is eventually declared winner in the next four years cause they've paid already.
Sylva, Diri just spent the whole fortune of Bayelsa on vote buying coupled with thuggery

These ones wey dem for donate give Hamas since they behave like Hamas that don't know which fight to fight.

So men that can fight are still in Benue state and Fulanis are terrorizing them

and Islam breeds retrogression.
The fall of Europe.
Now that toxic feminity is making Caucasian men to feel like women.
The man in Europe will be nonexistent when he is needed in the future.
Europe is committing suicide

This is another ticking time bomb that they are yet to realize. Masculinity has been eroded almost completely in the West.
Men there now care more about their body parts and whimsical. They are dying inside them everyday to be seen like a woman, and like you said, the men in Europe will be nonexistent in the future when they are needed for defence

engrchykae:
they have forgotten about the battle of tours.
Where and when Charles Martel saved France from mohamedans.
Islam have terrorised Europe in the past from the smashing of Constantinople to the conquest of Spain,Tariq named Gibraltar as gebel Al Tariq.
Then the siege of Vienna.
Europe wants to go under the yoke again

It will happen very very soon.

Islamists are very intentional about taking over a place and one of their basic strategy is uncontrolled birthrate.
They don't even hide it. France now has the highest islamic population in Western Europe

Ronaldo and pains.

Doesn't behave like a good sportsman

JoeEeL:


It's guilty conscience arising from what they've done in exploiting african countries. The problem is that before they came full force to colonise and plunder, the arabs had done so on african soil already, right from mauritania to algeria to libya to burkina faso to mali to guinea etc. They are already radical muslims.

If france were smart, they would have christianised those countries like britain did to her own colonies. The chances for revolution / uprising / terrorism would be minimal. The people of these countries would begin to do like mumu / zombie, just like nigerian xtians. They would become complete dundees.

how many black southern nigerians do u see causing havoc in britain? If France is smart, they should go back to their drawing board and take a leaf from britain.

Islam creates terrorists.
Christianity creates absolute dundees!

Very funny

You stated some truths though

Christistruth00:



Let the Ikwerre decide who they are

Imagine Yoruba declaring Edo to be Yoruba'
Is it not disrespectful?

I already said that in my submission. But then, Wike's sentiment is shared by some other Ikwerre people too...it is a fact no one can shy away from

DataMina:

Do not allow Igbo hate to consume you. It is not in Wikes place to decide if Ikweres are Igboid or not

Oh please stop. This is not about Igbo hate, what wil I gain from that.

I was only telling you the obvious. Wike has since declared himself not to be Igbo so why would your perceived Igboid groups in Rivers fight for him.
It is left for Ikwerre people to decide if they are Igbo or not, as for Wike he clearly said he is not. I still maintain that that same sentiment is shared by some other Ikwerre people in Rivers, not just Wike alone. You know this too I don't know why you found a way to tie what I said to Igbo hate

France is yet to realize what they've putting their hands into with the influx of Islamists

DataMina:

Ijaw does not outnumber igboid groups in Rivers state. Most of the ijoid groups are in Bayelsa

You are only trying to embellish his statement for trip.

The other poster clearly mentioned "Ikwerre" and not igboid groups in Rivers. Again, Wike already declared himself and his people not to be igboid a sentiment shared by most of them so Wike is not igbo.

Again, Ijaws outnumber Ikwerre in Rivers and the other igboid groups you think of don't even care about Wike in relation to this topic of discourse

MrEverest:
If ikwerre people are smart, they should align with Sim Fubara now and isolate idiotic Wike. Otherwise, if they join him in this dance of shame, they will end up going down with him.

Ijaws outnumber them in numbers and also violent in nature. So, it won't make sense trying to fight them. Secondly, ijaws will easily join forces with Ogoni, Kalabari and even some oppressed Igboid groups in Rivers like Etche and Obigbo. Even ijaws from Bayelsa and Delta are teaming up with their brothers in Rivers State. Edwin Clark is already condemning Wike.

If that happens, ikwerres will return to old Rivers situation when they were completely sidelined.

@bold

Kalabari is an Ijaw clan, so they are Ijaw.

udemzyudex:


Closely monitored? The man is a Muslim apologist, they are part of the people brainwashing Muslims all over the world he is from India.

Yes I know him.

He has so many terror allegations against him, the reason I said he should be closely monitored.
Moreso, his choice of words "Muslim Airforce" tells a tale of why he should be closely monitored so as not to corrupt already bad situation we have had to live with

Eneye4me:
U are mentally deranged old go to nearby hospital for treatment.

what did I do to you to warrant this level of aggression toward me

That man should be closely monitored. What the heck is even "Muslim Airforce"

This man is a known terrorist enabler and divisive element that is banned in the civilized world,

Salafis like their Wahhabi brothers are hardened Islamists too. Turn him upside down now particles of bomb may even drop from his body

Supremos:
Cc OAM4J Nlfpmod Dominique

I'm of the view that Ijaw youths who had adopted Fubara as one of their own, even though Fubara is from Opobo, will contend with Wike and his allies in Rivers State

Opobo is Ijaw.

There's nothing like they adopted him as one of their own, he is their own.

I'm not interested in the politics or any other part of your comment, just correcting you on the obvious in case you don't know

nairalanda1:


1. One Bell AH1z copter costs 450 million. 10 would cost 4.5 billion dollars.

Nigeria's defence budget...1.97 billion dollars.


2.Apache 52million. 10 of those babies..520 billion.

Nigeria's defence budget ...1.97 billion dollars..(Okay we can afford)...of which...1.2 billion goes to personell costs...so mayyybe.(BUT...we have to pay for barracks, regular weaponry, running costs for existing ordnace, plus navy and army needs new stuff too...

@bold

It is expensive but that is not the unit cost. The Philippines ordered 6 Bell AH1z attack helicopters with associated equipment for $450 million including engines, hell fire II missiles, PPS, Precision guided kill systems etc

Nigeria already has an agreement with the US for the supply of 12 units and associated equipment for $1 billion.

Even the Unit cost of F-35A, F-35B, F-35C with ancillary like ground support and spare part doesn't cost up to $150 million per unit, na Bell AH1z nai won cost $450 million per unit.

The amount you quoted for the Bell AH1z from whatever source you got it is the cost of the entire supply deal and not the per unit cost

This carnage needs to end already. Israel has almost dropped 10,000 bombs on that small land.

Hamas needs to give up all the hostages and issue a public apology to remain remain violence free.
The destruction especially on civilian lives is unimaginable.

I don't even know what's wrong with all these terrorist groups. They always look for a way bring death upon their people under the guise of resistance. From Yemen to Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria etc the story is the same. The Middle East is now a big conclave of terrorist groups with their big brothers Iran and Qatar.
I know the Nigerian terrorists are gloating over the activities of their senior terrorist brothers on how they can kill and destroy

sunboy:


Iran will not be loyal to the US, Iran will never forget the US interference in its political affairs, returning their money won’t do much.

Egypt is Africa not Middle East.

Only military forces in ME are Israel, Turkey and Iran.

Economically, Iran is handicapped by the sanctions. A country under sanction since the 1970s and still standing strong is no joke. Iran would have been greater than Saudi, and UAE if we remove the sanctions.

Middle East is not a continent so the dichotomy of continent where Egypt is in Africa is not really relevant in this context. I added Egypt in the discourse because of geopolitical consideration and the Arab axis of power.

Whether Iran would have been greater than Saudi and UAE without sanctions is highly subjective and not hinged on any fact.
Iran runs a very closed society with many internal contradictions so no one can say they would have done better than the UAE without sanctions

sunboy:


Yes it’s obviously a bait but Iran is patiently waiting to get its $6bn that was transferred to Qatar, so for now they are loyal.

Also, who upgraded Iran to a global power ? From where to where ? But then, Iran remains a real formidable force in the Middle East. Israel, Turkey and Iran are the big powers of that region.

The US really want to give back that money to them to exert some kind of loyalty from them. It's their money anyways.

Some Nairalanders already elevated Iran to that position.
Obviously Iran is influential in the Middle East especially among resistance groups. But in real power indices, they are not even up to Turkey, Egypt, Israel militarily and UAE, Qatar, and even the Saudis economically

Singhabele:


I actually love Iran to be involved . I understand wen their is chaos in ME with different groups struggling 4 power they battle themselves to standstill and don't have time to plan attacks against US or Isreal

Iran has not seen war so she thinks she is strong....

Iran cannot get involved directly and rightly so for their own good. It is same reason for weeks now, Hezbollah has been playing cat and mouse with Israel in the northern border. I'm sure in their risk assessment, an all out war with Israel now doesn't favour them and moreso for the people of Lebanon. Lebanon is at the brink of becoming a failed state so they may not enjoy the support of the ordinary people if they decide to bring more death upon them in the midst of their biting economic and political problems.

Iran is a noisemaker. Iran is only elevated by naive minds to the position of a global power, Iran is not even a regional power using any power indices. They are only good at sponsoring terrorism and making elaborate noise here and there. The Saudis don't like them, even the Jordanians, UAE and Egypt etc
Iran will be destroyed if they decide to go head on with Israel as the US will use that as a pretext to bomb them to smithereens.

The American public don't really support America starting a war with Iran or with anyone but using the defense of Israel as pretext is as good as it can get to finally put them in their place for good.

Wizardslayer:
This is total escalation.

Russia, China and Iran are all invited to the greatest challenge. They should stop verbal rhetorics and propaganda.

America is leading the party, who's gonna challenge??

People mentioning China alongside those rogue nations is always amusing.

China is not interested in any war against the US or the West over Iran, Russia or anyone. Chinese foreign policy is more development inclined than warfare especially not over friends that comparatively do not have anything to offer them.
China already has so many issues to deal with between them and the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan and India.

China will never fight war for anyone when their homeland is not threatened. Just leave China out of those rogue nations because they are clever not to be stupid

Somehow, I praise the terrorists filled Iranian government for not taking the bait, at least for now.

The US and Israel is baiting Iran to take offensive action especially against Israel over the Gaza crisis, Iran has been clever enough to play underhand to avoid direct involvement. The visit of the Russian foreign minister to Tehran must have warned them of the bait I think.

Iran may be destroyed for good if they are not careful, and if that happens, terrorism will engulf the whole Middle East just like Libya to North Africa.
Iran a noisemaker elevated to the position of a global superpower by terrorist sympathizers especially the ones on Nairaland.

In another news:

What is Nairaland management and Mods doing about that dude that posts his dry and nonsensical butt almost on every thread. It is very concerning

Gentino:
It's the "ruining" mate for me. Sylva out of greed has already RUINED the APC chance of mounting any substantial challenge.

It's really unfortunate that a single individual can hijack a party or institution without any repercussion.

The "ruining mate" description is even appropriate especially when the running mate is a former militant leader.

He is really a "ruining mate" alongside his principal that is a "ruining candidate"

The present governor is a failure too though

Symptoms of a failing system.
It is where you see security agencies constantly clashing like some high school boy bands

Shijawesss:


Shut up there...

Are Christians the ones killing people everywhere..

Hypocrite

You even had time to respond to that closet terrorist.
Most of them that lump everybody together to show some sense of neutrality is not because they are neutral, they do so just to hide their savage identity.

Rather than face the topic that clearly stated "an islamist was arrested for terrorism" he decided to bring in other groups to colour it in a way that will water down the causality between Islam and terrorism.

While no religion is perfect, speakers like the one you mentioned deliberately make those attempts to deflect attention so that people will not see it for what it is.

Masculinity has been eroded especially with the growing number of cry babies we now have as men.

How did it get to the level where your wife is now telling you to "earn it" before you perform your sexual rights.

"earn it" what does that even mean? It is clear you are not in control of your wife. Obviously there's something she is not telling you if she can be so flippant in waving of your sexual advances...earn it
Your wife is either self servicing herself or even something greater

Who is taking these people seriously. They deliberately raise these talking points to draw attention.

How is this even news. Nairaland is competing to win amebo medal
