Op, if you were this brilliant, why did you not challenge El Rufai, Buhari, Sanusi, Chiroma, Saltan of Sokoto, etc when they were indirectly supporting Boko Haram?

Have you stepped your foot in any of the riverine communities? Do you know about Adaka Boro? Where you alive when Saro Wiwa and Ogoni 9 were murdered? So you think that the Creeks are not already polluted? Or militancy just started because Buhari is president?

Have you ever taken time to check what these people have been agitating for? Go read their demands and fault them, not rhetoric. All the ND militants have asked for same thing over and over. Resource control, instead the Northern oligarchy and the SW collaborators would create divide and rule system to continue plundering the people.

I'll summarize bro.

Yes! Environmental degradation has been on before militancy came to fore but then as they continue to blow more pipelines the degradation worsen and so is livelihood of host communities, low investor patronage, economic downslide in general...

Violence will/can never be a tool to solve the ND challenge. Hardwork (by natives), Diplomacy and total commitment by SS leaders to development will

I wonder how much the looters of 2011 - 2015 would have carted away if we had allowed total subsidy removal during that term. Thank God we resisted!...

As for this present day situation... #YesToSubsidyRemoval #NoToNLCStrike.

NCC cards are issued to salary earners.

Issuance of NCC and it target market are for those in need of a line of credit with a proven source of income that can assure repayment is sufficient for NCC issuance.

StillBrandnew:

The efforts of the last CBN governor in his bid to make the Nigerian economy cash-less is credible.

So far, we have seen positive results with more businesses adopting the P.O.S electronic payments system.

There were hiccups initially with bad networks and lack of electricity to keep them charged but somehow they meandered through it all and more people are now opened to swiping their cards in restaurants and supermarkets.

I for one don't usually carry cash. I usually make my withdrawals and shop for my immediate needs for at least a couple of days. Then I'm left with a little money which is somehow sensible and safe in the sense that I stand to loose a lot less just in case of a robbery or mere carelessness.

Such instances have happened to me in the past and In some cases I was a bit lucky while sometimes I lost a lot.

The crux of the matter now and the reason for this write up is the issue of access to credit.
I for one love credit, not just because I could get something I couldn't afford at any point in time but for the convenience attached to it.

Nigerian mobile networks have been able to adopt this credit facility as a strategy to sell even more with MTN's extra credit and other products by Aitel, Etisalat and Glo.

I think it's about time Nigerian banks start issuing Credit cards to their loyal customers and not just salary accounts as being practised by some banks.

With the new BVN policy which is being put into effect by the CBN, I believe a more accessible credit line being offered by Nigerian banks would expand the economy. This is speaking from a layman's point of view.

There should also be credit assessments and credit scores awarded to customers who transact more with such cards. I am not an economist but common sense only tells me that would be a better way to put the several billions of dollars lying fallow in a few people's accounts.

Great economies around the world are build by ordinary people with small businesses and the Nigerian economy cannot be build on a few people's business empires I.e Dangote and the likes.

Please let the appropriate authorities know so at least the economic hardship the common man is feeling can be eased up a little bit.

Easy access to credit is convenient, easy access to credit means growth.



Just thinking out loud.

Visit a FirstBank branch and ask for a Naira Credit Card. You must have an account with them thou.

You will not mind your business and face Yoruba matters, you think Rivers is SWest where Christianity and Islam are equally divided?

Rivers is 100% christian, so Wike aint sponsoring any muslim anywhere. Infact, very soon we will ban the use of mosques in Rivers state. Our house of assembly will only move the motion.

Bros... you can lie o.

iflywithbuhari:
This is pure WICKEDNESS. After all the oil money the state of Bayelsa contributes to the revenue of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, they are not allowed a sizable representation in the FG civil service. And some people will be criticising Niger Delta Avengers, because they want to watch Premiership, champions League and Telemundo. Its aiit. Thankgod for GEJ, who did his best to reverse this injustice. Jonathan, you will always be a hero.

A pity thou... you should pay a visit to your "Hero's" state and see how they are wallowing in abject poverty. Your so called hero was a Deputy Governor, a Governor, Vice President and then a President for SIX YEARS. It is definitely a big shame... not even his LG witnessed a breath of his power...

Coming to get you Bae

Dfinex:


it's is our oyel money joor. live with it.

Of course indeed it is

CFCman:
Apart from the FIRS building and the Legislative Institute building, the rest are financed privately. No FG money is being used to develop the $18.5bn Centenary city or the Asokoro Island.

Guys pls see the bolded above. Enough of our "oyel" money

To help you out.. it's d bridge dt links "Odili road to Woji... Alcon road.

searchng4love:
all were PDP projects!

Seriously, was PDP the governor of the state

Come on man

nnachukz:
What Amaechi could not achieve in his two tenures, Wike has done in less than a year.

Joke is on you. I doubt u even stay in Rivers State then u will know what Wike is showcasing is child's play compared to what Amaechi did. I'll highlight some for you just in case

1. Rumuokwuta - Rumuola Rd.
2. Rumuokwuta - Choba (Uniport) Rd.
3. Ada George Rd (from NTA - ikwerre rd.)
4. Resurfacing of Airforce - Rupokwu link rd.
5. Trans Woji bridge
6. Oginigba to Slaughter rd.
7. Rumuodara - Artillery Jnct.
8. Diobu inner road
9. Water lines - Ikwerre Rd. (Ikokwu)
10. Resurfacing of GRA...

And these are in PH alone... other LGAs witnessed same

Not to talk of the World class schools he built in with Modern facilities to empower Rivers children...

Amaechi's feat in Rivers is laudable.

Or u want me to remind of you security

UIA04:

its obvious you did not understand what I wrote. too bad you have a pea sized brain.

God revealed to a man an impending Doom a bill he didn't read will cause... I am guessing he became an apostle without studying the bible..

Pea-sized brain indeed!

Masterpy1:
But let's examine the explanations giving by the governor; have we heard that the boko ppl preach for members? Have those volatile groups ever do public evengalization? How is stoping a public preaching going to stop secrete cult from operating? Pls reason !!!

Putting your loudspeaker at the back of my window equates to you trampling on my right... preach but don't disturb your next door neighbours.

christinie:
I never expected that running a state would be very different from being a federal minister. I thought that running a state would be the same as running the Federal Capital Territory but I was wrong on that. I have seen that things are quite different and more complex.




Hahahahaha these brainless APC people thought that Governance was easy.

Na moi moi?
Hehehehehehehehehe.

We have a big problem at hand with folks like this... smh!

UIA04:

if Johnson is really a true prophet as he claims ,he doesn't have to read the bill to know it will bring about impending doom or not and the true motives of does in the inner caucus.

why

because God reveals to his TRUE prophets impending doom, even in the time of plenty and peace whether he is an illiterate or learned
so while a lawyer is going through the bill and debating according the literal words it carries , God might have shown his prophets the future of its release .remember where our wisdom ends ,is the beginning of God's wisdom.

Like God will reveal your exam questions cos you did not prepare for the exam simply because you are a child of God!

Receive sense jor!!!

eazysally:
The bill have been their since 1984 and he knows kaduna is religiously volatile while is he revisiting an issue that is already enacted when he suppose to be acting on it, he should have let sleeping dogs lie. the initial public outcry on the bill emanated from his state else u and I who reside outside the state including prophet suleman wouldn't have bother. This shows it has an under tune agender targeted at a particular religion.

Laws are reformulated to cater for whatever shortcomings they appear not to deal with. Btw... this particular law in questn deals mostly with people going about forming one sect or another... if xtains have any issue with it "pick out the part you don't like and come forth with a solid argument" not pronouncing death on people upandan...

This is the right time to launch our own National Carrier. To cash in on the shortcomings of the so called international airlines. We won't be needing funds repatriation as Naira is already our base currency. This would also be a source of much needed FOREX for our dear country. Also, employment opportunities directly or indirectly is guaranteed (Pilots, Cabin crews, Administrative personnels etc) President Buhari should please look into this. Some of t recovered stolen funds can be channelled to revive this... I optimistically look forward to that day I would board a brand new NIGERIAN AIRWAYS plane.

God bless my country!!!

Pidggin:
If theyy wanted to assasinate him, will they do it in broad day light? Rubbish

Come off that lady... there is no time band allocated for acts lik that. Btw... Rivers state has been a hot bed of violenc in th past week... just in case u don't know

nuelzy:
personal development at this stage peter ,....is greed!!!

moreover,

#mr p...to me doesn't sound personal bt separate ....i understand u dont wanna work for ur elder brother to reap...and u also want to do stuffs outside psquare for ppl to recognize u more...


i put it to u dat wateva happens u re d cause..

cant u do other business that doesn't have to do with competing with the credibility of u and ur brother...

childish!!!....u just want to shine more than him...to b more noticed and fanned .....


i will b here when it will happen....!!!

Everyone is quick to crucify this guy. Is Northside and Rudeboy not personal development of his other brothers? If he decides to do something for himself has he committed a crime? Btw.... read his tweets... all he wants his Jude not managing them shikena. He (Jude) shld also respect himself by being acting the big bro not talking it. Step aside for peace and jst be a brother... is Dt too difficult to do?

modath:
The possibillity of a country that is solely & wholly import dependent to ever aspire to be a great nation is between zero & zilch......


Convulsing, cursing, crying..etc won't stop this present administration from weaning Nigerians off that state of mind, sooner people get with the programme , adjust accordingly & take the hard times in their stride the better...


*caveat*.. everyone can feel the heat but one's attitude will make one see things either half empty or half full!!

Brilliant!!! I love you

Omexonomy:
that is apc propaganda mercineries for you

You call the killing of a fellow human "propaganda"? The human mind is so cruel.... I wonder what you would say if this was your brother.

Btw... Wike was quick to shout foulplay when the NA visited his thugs in Ogoni, he was at the scene playing caring father...Bt hey, the killings, kidnappings and all sort of criminalities going on in Omoku, Ahoada and the Kalabari kingdom has gone on without even an official statement.

May the Good Lord judge him according to his handiwork.

OLADD:


It can't be a joke my friend. If you cast your mind back to the various crude steps taken by APC leadership to capture Rivers and Akwa Ibom States through arm twisting of DSS, police and the military, you'll definitely take substance in Wike's claim. There's nothing APC cannot do to grab power.

Like killing it's Party chief's as we now have everywhere in Rivers state and claiming PDP did right.... u berra repent... end time things

kokoA:
Wtf is "secondus"? Some people go just dey name dia children anyhow.

Secondus is Mild.... heard of, "London", "Germany", "Skelewu", Sugumba.... damn SS won't kill me o

sweetcocoa:
Because she must have noticed a closeness between the two.

You mean... the only person she ha ever been close to is Yunusa. A very good mother should know when her teenage child is becoming too attached to a certain person. She failed in her parenting duties.

Come to think of it she doesn't understand Hausa but she knows the Village chief she was taken to was abusing her and the guy that took her to Kano

Also, Emir of Kano commading his subjects to go marry xtians and convert them for promises of cars and house is too big a news in present day nigeria for someone not to have publish the story.

In as much as I don't support the abduction of the girl under any guise... the parent/ese/media should stop feeding us with BS.

Never believe everything you read. This story is filled with so many holes. A sane mind would know this is absolute slander... can't stop laughing thou... !!!

GworoChewinMaga:
Excuse me, but are you celebrating a shitty pilot?

She crashed.

She failed at what she is paid to do

Now you guys are celebrating her shitty skills

Oh please, she is to be celebrated. If you have ever been in a helo before you would know that the skills she put into guiding that bird safely on water is what saved her life and that of the passengers.

We should thank God for guiding her right.

Hypocrite nigerians... someone has been tried and convicted and y'all are asking for his head (he deserves it though no doubt) if the govt should go ahead and do just that... the next tune will be Buhari doesn't have respect for rule of law. Smh... Nigerians can never ever b satisfied

What is d difference between Sokoto and Dasuki

One outrightly kill people unjustly and the other stole funds meant for fighting the insurgency.

Teddeebear:
all these yorubas and their mentality self …



time will tell …

This is a classic case of Common Sense is not Common.

Smh!!!

MendeZ:
Ignorance is really a disease

To Make it clear to those who don't know what transpired:

The Money in question was paid for the acquisition of the temporary site and structures on it which was built personally by Tompolo. And also for the virgin land of the permanent site which is different from the temporary site. The temporary site contains multi billion naira structures that are fully equipped to the fullest.

Michael Jonny is not speaking for the community, he is an APC chieftain trying to get favour from the present administration.

Please help us with pictures of said "fully equipped sites... temporary and permanent alike. Thanks and God bless

keyzid:
30 vehicles for 304 million ... one must have costed 10million or there about... hmmm

Here we go again. I guess hearing 304 million has clouded every sense of reasoning. It's simple calculation. 30 vehicles PS: Toyota SUVS... that's about 10.1 mil each.

It is a very fair price. A trip to a car mart will help you out bro

Cheers!!!
