There is something about Fubara these people are seeing that we don't know.
nothing...dey are all wike's commissioners. Fubara will appoint his own men. There are still some ex wike workers that are very much loyal to sims. Nothing is wrong with him.

ZIAZI:
They said Wike is politically done and I laugh!

These men are resigning because they believe in Wike. He is not a saint, but he has the capacity to deliver and he has done so over and over again. It was this same capacity that made Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwaso, and Obi visit him to leverage his structure in Rivers State. The facts are there!

Wike is a big fish in Nigerian politics and today in Rivers state, he controls 90% of those at the grassroots.
what made wike is the office of the state Governor...

gidgiddy:
I have noticed this trend where people attribute the land mass, or size of their state, to greatness. Let me remind these people that USA has 50 states, and Nigeria is just about the size of the State of Texas.

Lagos is the smallest State in Nigeria by far, but Lagos is the most populous with over 20 million people, and the most important State.

Congo DRC is almost 3 times the size of Nigeria but is amongst the top 5 poorest countries of the world, Switzerland is not even the size of Ogun State but is the 13th richest, with a bigger GDP than Nigeria

So for those who equate land size to greatness, stop living in fools paradise
what about small israel ....and big iran

Politics › Re: The Major Person That Will Benefit From The Nyesom Wike-sim Fubara Crisis by ruggedtimi(m):
Overseer0:
See why

Tinubu is fully aware of the crisis in Rivers state and wants it to continue.

Here are why I draw these conclusions:
Bola Tinubu has always been involved in Rivers politics since the days of Chibuike Amaechi. If you watch the trend, every Rivers governor from Dr. Peter Odili, Amaechi to Wike always turned out very influential nationwide. They all eventually ran or attempted to run for the office of the president of Nigeria.

When Amaechi defected from the PDP to the APC in 2014, and partly sponsored Buhari's election in 2015, his interest was to form a national alliance so he could eventually run for president in 2023. It had very little to do with his relationship with Goodluck Jonathan. The GEJ and his wife's issues were just a smoke screen to validate his ambition to be at the national spotlight. In 2018, I met with Amaechi in his office in Abuja. The meeting was arranged by one of his key loyalists who happens to be a respected friend of mine. I was to be involved in the digital campaign for the election of Amaechi's candidate in Rivers state and the re-election of Buhari in 2019. Amaechi never hid his intention to takeover from Buhari as Nigerian president in 2023 in that meeting.

Now, here are the reasons anyone working with Tinubu should be very careful...
All along, Tinubu knew Amaechi was a threat to his 2023 ambition. For Amaechi to become a formidable opposition to Tinubu in 2023, Amaechi must produce a sitting Rivers state governor. Hence Tinubu ensured Amaechi never produced a governor. He silently supported Wike to power in 2015 and supported him again for a second tenure in 2019. Tinubu was probably a part of why all the federal might that Amaechi had could not give him certain control over the election in Rivers state. On the other hand, in Lagos, before 2019, former governor Akinwunmi Ambode had shown signs he would not open up Lagos funds to sponsor Tinubu's ambition in 2023.

He had challenged certain demands from Tinubu already. So Tinubu ensured he was removed from office despite the fact that he was rated as one of the top performing governors in Nigeria at that time. Ambode was disgraced out of office and Tinubu replaced him with a worthy stooge, whose past he had in his hands, and that was how Sanwo-Olu came into the picture. With Amaechi not able to produce a sitting Rivers governor and Tinubu having a stooge he he had absolute control over in Lagos, Amaechi was already not a match for him, especially when it comes to having the funds to buy his way around the country in the 2023 elections. Hence, Amaechi lost out of the equation in 2019 when Wike won his second tenure. Imagine for a second if with the meager funds Amaechi had, he came second in the primaries in 2023, what he would have done to Tinubu's ambition had he had access to the kind of money Wike expended in the PDP presidential primaries added to his.

Let's fast forward to Wike and Atiku's beef.. All the while Wike was dancing around trying to hang things on Atiku, he already had a pact with Tinubu and the person assigned to ensure Wike did not make a U-turn on the Asiwaju agenda was governor Seyi Makinde.

Makinde's singular duty in that purported G5 alliance was to play along with Wike to ensure he supported Asiwaju at the end of the day. This was also why Makinde did have a free ride in his own state elections afterwards. Go and read Makinde's background. When you are done, you will know that ordinarily he is not the type of person that would roll with a Wike type of charcter. He had to do all the childish rigmaroles, which included wearing ashoebi and dancing drunk on live TV, with him to ensure that the Asiwaju agenda was implemented.

Now, to Wike and Sim matters...
I believe that Tinubu may be secretly fueling this Rivers crisis to his future advantage.

Wike's antecedents would make anyone working with him to be careful how powerful he gets. Hence, this crisis creates room for Tinubu to form an alliance with Fubara as an option in any case Wike, in usual defiant manner, gets dissatisfied with Tinubu and works against him in future. This is easily suspicious as Wike has refused to formally leave the PDP despite currently working for the APC government. Hence, Wike is probably perceived as a working time bomb that should be closely watched.

Hence, Tinubu's strategy would be to ensure Fubara remains at logger-heads with Wike while he strikes a deal with Fubara never to allow his impeachment, and by so doing keep Fubara secretly loyal to him all through. This way, also, Wike cannot have access to the Rivers state funds and his power would gradually be diminished with time. This leaves no room for anyone financially powerful enough to challenge Tinubu in the near future (2027). I came to this conclusion when I observed Fubara's body language before now and his sudden boldness to confront the House Of Assembly members loyal to Wike.

Unlike, when this issue first started where Fubara decried the efforts of the police to frustrate him, Fubara now pallies with police.

Police have allegedly taken over the Rivers state Assembly complex moments after a high court in Port Harcourt restrained Wike's loyalists from parading as lawmakers and Fubara ordered relocation of sittings to the Government House following the emergence of a factional speaker loyal to him. No commisoner of police posted to Rivers state would carry out Fubara's orders on this matter without first hearing from the IGP who would have also acted on the president's tone on this matter.

So when I see people, especially those loyal to Wike, trying to drag Tinubu into this matter, during their various press releases, as though he would side with them against Fubara, I am tempted to conclude that they probably do not understand that Asiwaju is the most dexterous politician in Nigeria, who often gets the best for his interest in every political crisis.
Again, these are just my opinions and I stand corrected. Also, this article is not for those who think linearly. It is intended only for those with the ability to foresee events based on antecedents and can comprehend possible outcomes.

So before you react, take a deep breath and use your mind critically.
Thank you!

Overseer
bro everybody get him say for nigeria political matter...i disagree with you on two matters you raised.
1. Goodluck's wife was instrumental to wike's 2015 governorship victory. Wike was like the Messi and Goodluck's wife was like Pep to Messi. You will agree with me that by 2015 Tinubu didnt have any influence or power on the Federal level.
Maybe by 2019 Tinubu was playing behind the scene to sabotage Amaechi's effort in the Election. But those of us in rivers state saw an heavy presence of Military personnels especially in Okrika Lga.

2. Wike's link to Tinubu started after wike failed in the PDP primaries to clinch the presidential ticket/ vice president slot. One of the unknown brains behind wike's link to Tinubu is the current Minister of state Petroleum. He was a key figure in Tinubu's south south caucus, Tinubu had hopes on Magnus Abe to deliver Rivers State. But Heineken knew wike had to be in the team else they cant get Rivers State. Reason for the turn of events Wike becoming Tinubu's favourite son instead of Magnus Abe, we all knew Abe was Tinubu's loyalist/Rivers Eye.
Heineken current office was giving to him with Wike's backing.
So my point is Makinde and Wike were on same team back in PDP, it has nothing to do with Wike/Tinubu's relationship.

Where was Israel all these while before 1948?

Several hundreds of years in self inflicted exile, now they are back and expect the Palestinians to leave, to where exactly?

This is unreasonable. No matter how correct your history record is, you can't have all he lands back, it's better Isreal and Palestinians comes to the table and share the land, none will leave for the other. If exile is good, Israel would have remained there, so why force the Palestinians to exile on a land they had lived for hundreds of years before your return.

Israel can own all the land, that offer is not on the table. And the Palestinians are going no where. You can kill them all you like.
before oct 7 did israel have all the lands?? ...The palestines had west bank and gaza to themselves. But the palestines want the jews to leave the whole land for them. No be today palestines don dey attack israelites back to back. Just that the israeli's came back for them this time way hotter and bloody. Which is a very sad situation concerning the deathtoll of children/ adult civilians. Gaza has been known for having a high number of youths/children population.

Let me school you small,even thou I know that you won't learn.
The Land Israel was(is) owned by Israel but After the invasion of Romans and finally Saladin(Ottoman empire)The Jews were Expelled and the few that remained were to pay Jiyrax tax.therafter there was massive migration of arabs from Hashemites kingdom (Jordan),Syria and Egypt.it became possible and easy cause they were Arabs and Muslims.
The Jews as written in their Torah are supposed to always offer burnt sacrifice in Jerusalem and they were persecuted by Hitler ,that made them to think home.
Israelis,with the Help of Britain started returning Home(Haifa,Jaffa, Jerusalem etc)
The Arabs sensing that told the Arabs residing in those areas to move out so that Jews will be exterminated but they lost,and have countless attacked and still lost.
That is a mystery that only few sensible Muslims acknowledges.
To be candid,there should be a 2 state Solution,but Jerusalem,will be the capital of Israel while Ramallah or Gaza can be the capital of Palestinia.
saladin wasnt a King of Ottoman empire. Jerusalem changed hands several times, From the babylonians, greeks, romans,islamic empire,ottoman empire and the british Mandate.

You said that Israel gave Hamas the language they understand, you are wrong, instead, USA, Europe, Canada and Australia joined forces with Israel to fight Hamas, but Hamas always come back stronger and more vicious.

Well, Adolf Hitler too once gave Jews the language they understand by using over 6 million Jews for pepper soup and suya. Even the gods rejected the Jews as sacrifice, so their corpses were just burnt away. Wasted on earth, wasted in death.

The Jews never rose up to attack Germany for the massacre of 6 million Jews, but Hamas always comeback to revenge.
then u have no idea why MOSSAD was formed. MOSSAD hunted surviving Nazi officers that worked in concentration camps. And what was Hitler's fate?

So long Isreal oppression of the Palestine people continue resistance will till eternity persist. Maybe if Isreal can wipe out their entire population like it is doing now.
but since they cant match israel with resistance,they should use political and diplomatic means or Still accept israel. Afterrall Gaza/west bank wasnt that bad..until Arafat started his nonsense and Hamas came in to make it worst.
