Wike still think he is still a governor




What a clown of a man

He is the de-facto governor of FCT

AntiChristian:
Tinubu is at fault here!
As soon as he was sworn in he should have given all poor Nigerians one million to eradicate poverty!

We have too much oil and natural resources to pay us all!

And he should have provided free raw material too for all industries to mitigate against them going away!

I tire for Nigeria!

Please which country can I migrate to and get new citizenship?

Don't mention Argentina cos P & G is leaving Argentina too!

Argentina is same as Nigeria as P & G don comot too!

Free 1m to over 200m Nigerians. They are still struggling to give 35k monthly to just 800k families over 6 months.

And free raw material, some imported with scarce dollars . Some of you Nigerians are just dence, that is why someone like Obi could sell you such silly ideas so successfully without shame because he was talking to idiots.

nedu666:
I don't blame them. Like seriously a country of 200 million people generated a net sales of $50 million dollars. As in that is the height of poverty. Nigerians purchasing power has taken a serious hit

Never thought of it as competition has reduced the P&G market share. They are no more the entity they were in the olden days when they were a household name now many young people don't even know what name.

Onyiridike:
They are still teaching Obi and Igbos lesson.

They think 2023 is 1960.

Go ahead and destroy your country with your hands.

So Obi would have come along and in less than 8 months resolved the CBN forex conundrum ! You lot can really make a messiah of a stone once you set your minds to it.

Ozommadu:


Apc yoruba SW destroyed this country with their deceit and propaganda.


The day of reckoning is coming

Una no go stop this your head banging, just because Tinubu won presidency.

Over 8 million votes spread across Nigeria, the whole of his SW votes doesn't even reach 4million. Continue! You only have 3 more years to go or maybe that should be 7 years

anungangampu:
This isnt good at all. Achievement of other Presidents getting bastardised.
If there is something this foreign companies are seing we are yet to see ?

2024 will reveal alot.

It isn't good but it can become an opportunity for others. Their absence should spur someone to fill the vacuum, a $50million net sales is decent for a manufacturer with big dreams and plans to expand.

They have equipment already in Nigeria and a manufacturing plant someone who has a decent plan can seek to acquire that. The biggest issue for Nigerian investors is actually financing because the foreign companies seek to repatriate their profits while a local owner doesn't care as much for that.

goodnessme1:
Good for him


Yoruba Muslims won't wake one morning and start demolishing his companies, just because he's not yoruba and have huge investment in Yoruba land.

!!!

DarlingtonC:
If this is in southern Kaduna, I can bet you it was deliberate

Yet the chief of defence staff is from Southern Kaduna. You just done want to use the little sense you have to reason.

Military errors like this are rather more common than reported given what is civilian areas are infested with bandits, from over 1000ft above the pilots can't differentiate very accurately civilian and militants combatants.
Such was very prevalent in afghan and also Iraq.

Brendaniel:
This is the person APC supporters were praising as a performer, 100 million dollars is over 100 billion naira, he served 8 years as governor, where did he get all that money from, what were his businesses before he became governor?

The VC ambition is set at 100m, but he is only staking $2M of his own money. They plan to raise the large proportion of the funds from private investors interested in the potential in the African space.

He should be applauded for using his influence to seek private investment for upstarts.

SmartyPants:


Language is not a true test of leadership. We must not major in the minor always!

Identity can be very important in real leadership where the important element previously missing is servitude to the people their desires and needs.

There has been a disconnect between governance and the people at the local most basic levels.
This kind of governor would be ignorant of the realities, history and peculiarities of the people, he is doomed to fail before he even starts

FreeStuffsNG:
The book "Stumbling on happiness" on my mind right now

The reality is that Edo is not monolingual so there may be no furore if a candidate turns out to be like LP's Chinedu in Lagos who can't speak Yoruba in a monolingual Lagos and had to get an interpreter during campaign too.

Asue and his siblings were born and raised in Ibadan where their parents lived, stayed and worked. They are Omo Ibadan.

Their late mum was Yoruba while their late Dad was Esan. If they were females married to Yoruba men, they could even aspire to be the Governor of Oyo state. It's the names of the boys that affiliated and restricted them as Edo, aside that, they could pass for a Yoruba family and seen as such by their Yoruba kith and kin.

Their late mum, a Yoruba woman, was particularly phenomenal and popular as well as a role model to many people in Ibadan so much that her name was a household name in Ibadan those days. Their late Dad was a Senior Staffer at the University of Ibadan.Check my signature for free stuffs!

Is he from the same Ighodalo family from Agbowo area of Ibadan same as the Pastor Ighodalo ?


I do think he should be able to speak to his people in a language they understand, if he can't do so conveniently he should speak English or pidgin, there is no need for the interpreter

123papas:
35 months is still 2 years

Well 2 years is 24 months.
And in kids development the difference between 24 and 36 is very much

GODPUNISHALABI:
Lol while amala hangout come dey like cemetery ,the same way them take prepare the amala ( toilet broom and others) na so the hangout take be.....meanwhile enugu people and freshness dey like 5 and 6

This looks like a well funded event that has been ongoing for a while with corporate sponsors, I can see origin bitters there, while the Amala festival was a private event , organised at short notice and not intended to be same, it may well grow like such in the future

nedu666:
The owners of these properties will never build any house again for fear of a repeat. Those who haven't built will be extremely cautious. That's why I advise lgbos build big at home, little outside. Learn from aboki. Aboki no dey build mansion outside north

El Rufai demolished houses in Kaduna belonging to his Aboki brothers, Amaechi did same, I'm being told that Gov Otti is actually demolishing houses where a majority of non Abia people have built homes.

Cry me a river

jaxxy:


na u go tell me where I'm from na.

You know well enough where you are from.
I don't get this Lagos nonsense, I've said this same thing to people whose parents are from Ekiti, Rivers etc who then around and reply that they are from Lagos when I enquire.

If I want to know where you were born I'll be specific with my question.

You are not from Lagos and identity should cause you to always state with bold acclaim where you are from.

Lanrelagboi:

The land was sold by land grabbers also called Omo Oniles


Yes, thats why it is called encroachment. It is illegal and the government didn't approve it


No, they dont even have survey


None of the question has government hand.

If you watch the video, you will see where the FHA officials said they went to mark the houses for them to stop work but they ignored and continued their building

Which kind of stupid person buys land anywhere near a reserved FG plot from "omo onile"

It's has been affirmed that most "bought" allocations from supposed FHA officials who issued them and illegal plot, the buyers knew very well they were buying a plot through the back door but many assumed they could regularise the purchase once it's gone through the FHA.

The problem is the allocation is illegal and once someone comes along who decides to sanitise the system the buyers have no real legal claim to the land, the federal laws make this very clear, the government can also choose of criminal actions against it employees(most often now retired) involved may be financially possible or not but you that has been a house on the land stand the loose the most.

koning:




NO. They do not. It's the Abuja town planning authority on orders of the minister. Not the FHA.

I have not heard of FHA demolishing a fully completed and occupied building anywhere in Nigeria. The Lagos state govt simply hid behind the FHA lagos office to carry out this wicked act.

The officials that demolished the buildings did not come from Abuja. They came from round the corner with clear instructions from Lagos state government officials. We all can remember the threat made at the floor of the Lagos state house of assembly with regards to Igbos in Lagos.

Are the structures illegal ? If the answer is yes then stop the nonsense

From reports of people who live in Festac this demolitions also affect some Yoruba people who have built houses there and I've been told some retired military officers were also affected

jaxxy:


u this ekiti boy claiming lagos. when did u come to lagos? I don't have to claim lagos. I was born and breed here. Yes I'm proudly from the east bt I'm also from the South west.

You're not from the South west stop chatting nonsense, you just live there. Dem go still show you your papa house soon

Lanrelagboi:
Most of the people whose properties were demilished know that their building is illegal and not approved. The FHA told them, marked their houses but they ignored warnings and painted over the markings.

They felt they are above the law and NOBODY APPROVED THEIR CONSTRUCTIONS. The feeble attempt to turn this into a tribal fight is a waste of time

Some of those people were expecting and campaigning for Obi with the idea that a political solution would be applied to their case. Many have been paying FHA officials bribes through the Buhari/ Osinabjo years.

Look at Abuja and see the nonsense they've made of that well planned city. Now Wikenis there and people are feeling the heat.

This administration has shown it wouldn't fall for the sentimental games people play, it would enforce the rules without prejudice

Skyfornia:
Indirect punch to jagabandits...if e didn't dey, e didn't dey. So no need expecting agbado president to visit his Alma mater

Walahi Wike nah character. "If e didn't dey, e didn't dey"

That's definitely a new expression in the Nigerian lexicon

immortalcrown:
I think the culture of "Matching ground fee" started in Africa.

What is the earliest records of such conduct in Africa, it most certainly doesn't predate independence. And from all accounts started post 1970s/80s when militias apposed to governments started operating along the borders and in strongholds demanding levies from locals within their sphere of control.

But Sicilian mafias have existed pre world war 1, Yakuza and triads likewise and the rise of the eastern European mafia was after world war II. And all these organisations started out as protection rackets

This child is not 2 years old. This child is more likely than not nearing 36 months.

immortalcrown:
Terrible! RIP to the dead. I wish the injured quick recovery.

Majority of African people are morally bankrupt. Why should a bar owner settle people before having customers? Too much of entitlement mentality.

It's actually not an African tradition, but came a culture that dates back to Italy and eastern European mafia who demand protection racket money. It's also the traditional money spinner for the Asian triads and Yakuza before most ventured into human trafficking, prostitution, organ trafficking and illicit drugs and in some cases organised labour and construction rackets.

We've seen an increase since the rise of militias in Africa, BH, bandits and ND militants have been known to use these methods too.

Governments have a duty to punish criminality and end these attitude of engaging criminals with amnesty.

christejames:
Let's go back to our ancient architecture or modernize it like this... ☺



I don't even know what our architectural students are being taught in our universities 😏, nothing exceptional in their designs, always that 'square design' with 'send down the rain rooftop' that is prominent at almost every estate in the country




You guys can do better, be more creative abeg, architecture is more of an art, and arts are unique representation of life, so guard it!

You should check our Francis Kere. Mud is an ideal material for building homes in our country, concrete has thermal properties that are not ideal for our weather.

We should go back to using red clay bricks and screeding using engineered clay plaster. I believe the iron content is partially responsible for the colour of clay.

The Abule Ado/ Festac 2 has nothing to do with Lagos State government, it's with federal housing authority.

Anyone who builds a 300M mansion on a disputed land is a fool, these guys have known of this for years.

Botragelad:

Nah. You don't get it. A stabbing kicked off which sparked the protesters who are said to be native Irish.

The attacker is said to be an Algerian immigrant who stabbed kids. The protesters are kicking off against mass immigration by torching the whole of Dublin and smashing things up.

Do you live in Ireland because you're spouting nonsense here. One would think it's decent people smashing shops and burning cars and buses

Botragelad:
According to some people. The attacker is said to be an immigrant from Algeria, still not confirmed. The stabbing sparked these folks to come out in droves to protest against mass immigrants

Europe seems to be getting a lot of grief from immigrants who come there to do crimes and mess up the place.

Sit tight and enjoy!

That's nonsense it's misinformation being put out by a far right website grift.ie

I've seen a picture of the suspect the man looks nothing like an Algerian

Kukutenla:

Of course. He lost his brain on the journey to Kano

I don't even know why NNPP would even give him the brief given he is an APC lawyer just like Agbakoba is a PDP lawyer. I wouldn't go any further to type what's on my mind in that regard

Truths9ja:
APC will have 30 states too . Judiciary was much united and not compromised during obj era. Unlike in Tinubu’s government, judiciary has been heavily compromised. Nigerians said it some days ago. It’s very unfortunate seriously. What I only know is that what surely goes around will surely comes around. APC has the power now. Karma will surely backfired one day. It backfired during the Pdp time, it will surely backfired in APC times too.

Judiciary wasn't compromised during OBJ era ! Such nonsense can only have come from your booty-hole or you were born in 2007.

Fountainofyouth:
A bad precedence for Apc, they actually think they will be in power forever, when it's time for others to do same hope they won't cry blue murder.

All this is nonsensical crying, PDP made very silly schoolboy errors, every credible lawyer knows that witnesses statements and all materials have to be front loaded to be valid.

It was discussed at the presidential appeals, literarily all the evidence was thrown out on that singular fact.

The process is just has important as the contents of the argument

iokpebholo:
Technicalities as usual but in plateau they refused to make use of technicalities.May God forgive us in this country

There were no technicalities that could have rescued PDP in plateau.

It's not confirmed Wole Olanipekun is the Numero Uno SAN in naija. If what you want is a victory in court he is the man to get

Blaze14k:
This is the first time four seating governors are sacked I really don't understand what is going on.

It's not and I don't get what the alarm is about. The judgements are clear as day
