Adidas trainers of £70 in UK. In Nigeria will be 100,000 naira. Give them time, they will shut down.

You actually think they need all Nigerian masses to patronise them, when the few upper-class of the over 20m Lagos population is enough?

Or you think their specific location in Lagos is not strategic? Or the other partner stores for Adidas and Nike in Ikeja City Mall and The Palms Lekki have shut down all these years?

How many of the struggling immigrants in UK can afford to spend £70 on a shoe?

This was opened in April.

It's a sad situation.

Sad situation for the losers, and happy situation for the winners.

At the end of the day, the Supreme Court upheld the constitution and electoral laws.

A rising star who used greed to kill his political career and freedom.

The refinery, funded by Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote, will transform oil trading in the Atlantic Basin and remove a lucrative outlet for fuels produced in Europe and the United States that have for years powered the cars, trucks and generators on the continent.

This is why our refineries never worked, electricity supply was never constant, and Ajaokuta Steel Complex never produced for a day.

We have been mapped by some global cartels as a market for their own products, so they have ensured with the connivance of local actors, that we remain hooked to foreign supply of our fuels and steel.

Just Imagine that all the Steel used in Oil Wells and Pipelines both on Surface and Subsea, and all the steel used in the construction industry, are all foreign imports when we could have produced them locally.

Yes we are a large market for those products, but a market that is catered for by a refinery or steel mill somewhere in Europe or US.

Who will break this economic colonization?

Tntsi:
Imagine the nonsense coming out from these criminal gangs in power.
See how our nation is being rubbished.
Criminal executive
Criminal judiciary
Criminal legislative.

They turned the nation to a play ground where they boldly enrich themselves and tell the helpless poor citizens you can do nothing.

A nation is bleeding profusely, these criminal gangs are galivanting around.

It is not nonsense.

The government has a responsibility to you to explain things that you have asked them to shed more light on.

But you were regarded as a wicked and visionless Governor.

So we already know what can happen in your watch.

Like 13months strike.

They died over a greedy conquest.

Inferiority complex at its peak.

Grill them and release only those who have no Internet fraud footprint.

As for the rest, let them be prosecuted with whatever evidence that has implicated them.

Ok

Dest8sman:
He was among the Ijaw men that finished their kinsman, Goodluck Jonathan, but was betrayed by his own masters.
One thing I like about the relationship between the Ijaw people and their masters is that after doing the bidings of their masters, that same masters will still always betray them.
1, Isaac Adaka Boro was on scholarship in UNN provided by the Eastern Nigeria government, but when oil was discovered at Olobiri, he began to agitate against the Eastern government tapping the oil. The oil was eventually taken over by the federal government without a single benefit for the Ijaws, and Adaka himself was killed by the same masters.
2, Ken Sarowiwa was benefiting from the Eastern Nigeria government, but when the civil war erupted, he withdrew and fought against the inclusion of his enclave as Baifran territory. He was later executed like a common criminal by that same masters he served faithfully.
Timi Frank is another Ijaw son, but is lucky he hasn't been served the final dose like that of Sarowiwa and Boro, meanwhile, another of his brothers by the name Omokiri, who happened to be an Itshekiri, is already warming up to his position once his no more.

I come in peace.

You have to be Igbo.

You just can't hide it.

You are still living in the past like Timi Frank who love to identify himself as former APC whatnot.

I have no tears to shed for America.

Since guns are like toys to them, let them continue toying with their lives.

AchrafHakimi:
Are you an IGR agent too?

Akaegwu:

AchrafHakimi:

*spits

Everyone knows your tribe just by your envy.

So this IGR matter dey pain you clansmen?

Victor Osimhen get the player of the year.

Hahahaha

Over protection would always lead to loss.

They do not even recognise Atiku as anything besides a desperate Cameroonian who lives in Dubai and comes to Nigeria every 4years to spend his money on presidential elections.

Atiku too does not even care about happenings in the party that does not concern his own election.

Expect it.

Lol!

This mumu is still trying to provide his puppets with something to hold on to.

Why would Tinubu's name be there when he was never investigated, indicted, or arrested for any crime in the USA.

Even ordinary detention at the airport, Tinubu has no such record.

israelmao:
That's Emilokan's style of government.Something or someone must emboldened your son's photographer to be where he wasn't authorized.

He didn't say Photographer, he said he saw a photograph of his son seated behind from the last FEC meeting, which means the son was inside the chamber while the last meeting was ongoing and was captured by camera.

Kukutente23:
Maybe because they want to stand for what is right.
You guys should have principles and a conscience to booth
This transcends party issues

The Governor imposed on them is now right?

And not a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

If Wike starts fighting Tinubu, he would also become right?

It is a bit funny how those who until the past weekend did not rate the governor whom they see as a stooge installed in a state they feel their own party should have won, are now the ones cheerleading for the Governor.

Wike has all the power both locally and at federal level.

He should be considerate to the stooge he installed.

There is a reason past Governors install stooges while they seek federal power to keep their stooge in check.

Wike has got all his sides covered. No victory for the Governor besides making up with his master.

Xscape1993:
To do what please? Is Abuja now Rivers state?

Those who said Rivers is not Lagos, have forgotten that Lagos has moved to Abuja, and that Abuja signifies federal power.

quote author=Kingosytex post=126714281]All I know is that this man would be the biggest fool if he allows Wike remove him. If he can't treat Wike the same way Wike treated Amaechi then he is daft.
Why cower when you've got all the power? Many don't know how to use this power. Use Wike's template and deal with him.[/quote]Even you forget that the scenario you described is actually one where Wike is still the one with federal power that is even more than his junior minister role under Jonathan. While Fubara is the one that is a Governor like Amaechi.

Fubara has no power locally in Rivers as more assembly men are with Wike. He also has no power at the federal level where Wike is stationed.

Fubara truly has no escape so he has to pipe down.

Lastmankc:
See this clown,he should ask obaseki how he rendered oshomole useless

Does he have another party to go to like Obaseki?

And is the President whom Wike is a chief adviser, as docile as Buhari who was always shocked while his own party was falling apart?

Who controls the police and all the security details of the Governor?

It is the federal government.

The same way a junior minister Wike used FG power to harass his benefactor Governor Amaechi when he was still in PDP and later APC, is the same way a now senior Minister Wike and "Chief Adviser" to the President still has access to the federal tools to frustrate the boy he put in power.

I have analysed this matter over and over in my head, I still do not see any pathway to victory for the Governor besides begging his boss that single-handedly put him in office.

To criticise those boys without first analysing the culture that made such behaviours possible will be to treat the symptoms and leave the disease. It is more of a cultural thing than an individual phenomenon. It is displayed in propensity to insult, abuse, bully, and to forget ninety-nine good things previously done because of one favour presently denied.

True!

I remember how Ifeanyi Ubah was also disrespectful to Cosmas Maduka of Coscharis, despite the helping hand he extended to him as a fellow Nnewi brother.

Sad.

One of the indelible moments etched in my memory is Professor Nwabueze's appearance at the 2019 Presidential election tribunal in a petition between Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Gen Muhammadu Buhari. Despite his frailty, he made a surprise entrance, seated in a wheelchair. It was a poignant and powerful sight—a symbol of his unwavering dedication to upholding justice, even in the face of personal challenges. His presence in that courtroom spoke volumes about his commitment to the principles he held dear and his resolute belief in the power of the law to create a just society.

For some reason, he was constrained to support the presidential ambition of Siddiq Atiku Kojoli towards the 2019 election, even vowing not to die unless Atiku became President.

Atiku did not come in 2019 by votes or by court. Atiku still could not come in 2023 by votes or by court.

The man could no longer hold on for Atiku. The man died 4 days after Atiku lost 7 : 0 at the Supreme Court that confirmed Siddiq status as a permanent presidential loser.

May his soul rest in peace.

Chicken Republic still dey hire security guards?

Some people are not destined for great exploits.

Just put them nearby to food and watch them dance.

Being co-travellers would only lead them on the road to perdition. Their only chance to better themselves is if they go their separate ways.

Victory sweet ooo. Especially when you planned ahead and put in the work and dedication.
