Experience they say "is the best teacher" politics in Nigeria teaches both sweet and bitter lessons. During the political travails of Governor Amaechi in the hands of Wike, Evans Bipi and their Oga at the top GEJ. When both Riverine and many uplanders in Rivers state where all shouting Amaechi must go, Amaechi must go for being disrespectful and harboring VP ambition which were all unfounded. Little did they know they were playing into the hands of Wike who has serious agenda of succeeding Amaechi. Yet claiming he is working for GEJ's re election. The truth is here with us. The Ikwerres have come to take their proper position in the new Rivers state. The Kalabaris, Ogonis, Andonis Opobos etc can cry nothing will change it.

Mbu and his PDP supporters loses again

Mbu loses again

Cheap story

Does Wike think PDP in Rivers state is still alive? PDP is already dead and gone in R/s. All these is just to justify his ambition. Power must shift to other tribes in Rivers state. We won't vote for u Wike.

No. Buharis life is not more important than others. But is GEJ's second term re election ambition more important than the hundreds of lives being wasted in Nigeria on daily basis because of inaction and being clueless?

Waooo! I now see the reason why our aging leaders still want to remain in power for ever. Many who post comments here on daily basis cannot understand simple English. Understanding Gov Amaechi's statement is now a problem? Yes, true muslim cannot do that. No matter under what guise they carry out those killings. Its just like saying or calling those pastors and men of God who sleeps and harass female worshipers as true men of God just because they are christians by faith. because true men of God cannot do that. Chai! Nigerian Youths make una stop to smoke Ibo because una head don block finish.

After reading comments coming from readers concerning Amaechi statements about the Bombing in Kano recently. I now see that the heads of many readers are so blocked that they can't even understand simple English. He said that true muslim should unite to fight terrorism because true muslim cannot do these kind of thing. Just like someone could say a true christian or man of God cannot harass female worshipers sexually as we see today in churches. Chai! Nigerian Youths don Smoke Ibo so tay head don block finish.

This action of the Obiano suddenly became a nice moves because gov Obiano abi na Obise did it. If it was Rochas or any other Governor, insults and abuse would have been the order of d day. God go punish all of una wey dey preach hate against anybody or Apc

This is what I call "Ogogoro Joint" gossip. U people will wait and wait when Amaechi will be Impeached. Amaechi will finish his tenure complete.

1 million engaged or Jobless youths? Going to match for a president who couldn't provide Jobs for ordinary 500 youths from Niger Delta? I count myself out.

With all these Impeachment thing going on in all opposition states makes me conclude that PDP is responsible for the whole crisis in Nigeria today. That was how they started and funded Militants in the Niger Delta, Boko Haram in the North. Today, the evil of PDP is fast shifting to South East just for the reason of not wanting to see any opposition party exist in Nigeria. By the time PDP has succeeded in making Nigeria a one party state, we will be slaves in our own country where we won't have choices to make anymore. Political leaders will turn EMPERIORS and FEUDAL LORDS where no one will dare challenge their decisions anymore. By then, are all slaves.

The South East is not yet ripe to produce president of Nigeria. Therefore the South East should wait for the next 100yrs.

There is no truth in this statement. The reasons are these, whenever there is a call for all Northern Governors meeting under Arewa, Governors from the middle belt still attends and makes useful contributions. Again the ongoing national conference has shown that the North are still one when it comes to issues on restructuring and true federalism in Nigeria. Delegates from the middle belt still align themselves with the core North to make sure true federalism and resource control doesn't hold. Let's not get deceived here.

The North is backward yes, but the South is not even better either. Poverty, hunger, unemployment, insecurity, educational backwardness are all present and have their strong root in the south also. The collective actions and inaction of our past and present leaders in Nigeria are responsible for all these. After all, every govt has collection of leaders from different parts of the country who converge to take decisions on behalf all of us be it decision to allocate juicy contracts, loot money, or positions etc. When OBJ was d president, Hausas, Igbos, yorubas, Niger Deltans were all in his government in their good numbers sharing and looting our common resources.

Nigerians as I see will live in political bondage for a very long time to come in this country. The manner at which we allow our leaders to use us is alarming. Just like the case of Rochas, here in rivers state too, those calling for Amaechi's head today has at one time or the other been in Govt with absolutely nothing to show. Eg Nyesom Wike was Obio/Akpor LGA chairman for good 8yrs. His only achievement was d council secretariate he built. Despite d fact that Obio/Akpor is d second richest LGA in Nigeria after Apapa in lagos. As a minister, he failed woefully. Until Nigerians realise that they are tying their hope, future and destiny to parties and individuals that cannot better their lots.

U can go and arrest Buhari if u have the guts to do so?

Just look at what failure and uncertainty has caused GEJ and PDP?

That's PDP for us. They are ready to wine and dine with the DEVIL because power. Until Nigerian electorates understands the true nature of politics, how to elect the best candidates irrespective of their political parties, tribes and religion. We will continue to expect what we will never get till Christ comes.

Some of these Northern leaders like talking nonsense. Instead of this man to be thankful to South-South region for bringing them out of extinction which would have resulted from Natural Starvation, he is here talking rubbish. Taking as if the south-south region got naturally endowed as a result of its creation. There are natural endowments every where on the surface of the earth. The day man discovers anyone does not mean its the day it started existing or deposited there.

PDP aspirants always run away from public debates. GEJ did it in 2011 where he had to scamper to avoid a debate with other aspirants. The result is what we are witnessing today, GEJ's incompetence. Maybe if GEJ had participated in that debate then, many Nigerians would have seen his deficiencies b4 now.

What is Africa gaining from Nigeria in the first place?

Exactly my thought here.

2015 election will be peaceful if only GEJ does not rig himself back to power. because he failed woefully and lacks popularity as a result

This exactly what the PDP in the state and federal level wants to turn Rivers state into. Why won't Tom Ateke aspire to be Governor when he is seeing one of his boys Evans Bipi, as a law maker who got there with the help of the First Lady, Patience Jonathan?

Igbo presidency? NO WAY. The 6 months military leadership of Ironsi is ok for them. because that position is not for every Tom, Dick and Harry. The presidency will rotate btw North, West and South-South. Igbos are not to be trusted with power

What's d difference btw military govt and what we have now? The only difference here is that the man in Aso Rock is not wearing military uniform. But his character, leadership style is all but military and uses it against real or imagined political opponents. But unfortunately does not know how to use such powers against Boko Haram and corrupt public officers in his govt.

Yet, these two Governors and people from those states will open their dirty mouth to insult Governor Amaechi everyday on social media.

Asari Dokubo should know better. After all, he is a muslim and a Jihadist himself. If he doesn't know the reasons, he should ask his fellow Jihadist in the North to ascertain the reasons for Buhari's attack.

What is really happening to Nigeria economy? After boost few months back that Nigeria has the biggest economy in Africa we are being heat by financial scarcity. Governors complaining of not being paid their due monthly allocations, FG going cap in hand looking for where to Borrow money, state govt borrowing up and down, INEC crying of lack of cash for the up coming elections etc. Where have our daily oil sales gone to?
