Really Governor Fubara is winning the war hard and well. I really celebrate him more.

Fubara: Those seeking to remove me as governor have failed

Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, says those seeking to remove him as the chief executive of the state “have failed”.

Fubara spoke on Sunday at a church service in Opobo, Opobo/Nkoro LGA of Rivers state.

The governor, who did not mention anyone in particular, said his adversaries have not succeeded in removing him from office.

“I want to urge every one of us here, don’t be frightened. What they want is this red biro but it is still with me. (he retrieves a pen from his chest pocket),” he told the congregants.

In Nigeria’s public service, red biro is used by higher-ranking government officials to sign documents.

“It is still with me,” he said.

“They have failed. We are the winners because we are still signing with the red biro. As long as we are signing with the red biro, development will continue in Rivers state.”

“2024 will witness unprecedented heights in our state. The only thing we are asking from every one of you is your support and prayers.

“Also, believe in every decision that we take. We are not going to throw any of you under the bus. I wasn’t a governor when I used to stand for you. So, now that I am the governor I will stand for you.”

Fubara and Nyesom Wike, his successor and minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), had been at loggerheads over the political structure in the state.

In the wake of the crisis, Wike’s associates in the Rivers house of assembly commenced impeachment proceedings against the governor.

Fubara’s allies kicked against the impeachment moves.

Thereafter, 27 lawmakers in the state house of assembly defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Subsequently, Edison Ehie, factional speaker of the Rivers assembly at the time, declared the seats of the lawmakers who defected vacant.

Amid the political crisis, some commissioners resigned from Fubara’s cabinet.

On December 18, the governor and Wike agreed to end the political feud between them after President Bola Tinubu intervened in the stand-off.

Some of the resolutions reached at the meeting were that: All matters instituted in courts by the different factions should be “immediately” withdrawn, the 27 lawmakers who defected to the APC should be taken back as members of the assembly, and the impeachment proceedings against Fubara should be withdrawn.

The 27 lawmakers who signed the impeachment proceedings subsequently withdrew the notice against the governor.

On December 29, Ehie, an ally of the governor, resigned as a member of the legislative chamber.

Although Ehie didn’t give a reason for his resignation, it is believed to be a fallout of the political crisis in the state.

Leaving denomination aside,

Trousers is not convenient for women especially if they want to pass out waste products especially in public places. For Men is easy.

If men were to be wearing skirts, it will be difficult too.

Trousers are for Men
While skirts for Women

you are 100% fact here

BigDawsNet:
Seriously? I'm not doubting u buddy... but i hav attended series of rccg across Nigeria States and its almost the same... so I'm only curious where thee rccg that doesn't accept trousers... anyway we learn new things everyday

not all of them are the same please. Mama foluke Adeboye no dey put on wig on her head. Mama Foluke Adeboye no dey wear trousers now

Toor 🙄🙄🙄🙄

BigDawsNet:
Tell me about the rrcg that doesn't allow trousers..
Whr is the branch location.. rural area or urban?

I don’t have to mention them now. There’s classical RCCG AND the other RCCG 🧓🏻🧓🏻🧓🏻

Pele o assistant Jesus

I only quote what’s written in the Bible niii. Funny nairalander

May Almighty God healed him

5ThChild:
We can live with hindu standards or African religious standards.
They both came before the Bible

Bible is our standard Abeg. Why can’t you live with the idols standard why?

Psalm 119:105. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Job 23:12. I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. ...

5ThChild:
But before the Bible came, people lived with leaves and some were even naked, and everything was fine.
Trouser or skirt are just clothes...

And when the Bible came we shouldn’t leave with the Bible standard again. You are not serious here. You are just displaying your ignorance here. Live in Bible standard and you will felt peace in your heart.

Quote where trousers is mentioned in the Bible because what men wear in Bible times is skirt not trousers:

Even your SKIRTS are stained with the blood of the innocent poor ones, Though I did not find them in the act of breaking in; It is on all your SKIRTS. Jeremiah 2:34

more explanation here. I’m quoting scriptures the Christian standard .

Deuteronomy 22:5 has two prohibitions wrapped into one verse. The purpose of this Q&A is to determine the meaning of this verse.

A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 22:5 (NASB)

Bible forbid tattoos too. Bible is our standard

Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.”

MaxInDHouse:
I've been QUOTING the scriptures but you're not satisfied that's why the names of these guys should be brought forward perhaps to let you know that they differ in opinion on the matter when God's word stand as final!

I replied you with scriptures back, you are here dragging the names of pastors. I don’t have time for that

MaxInDHouse:
I disagree with the highlighted because people coming here to dispute what you're saying are also claiming Christians and they also worship in places called "CHURCH"

So to set matters straight you must quote God's word not the tradition set by Joseph Ayo Babalola!

you don’t believe in the biblical scriptures, you only believe what’s coming from your brain. Abeg shift joor. I think we can do brain work by dipping more on scriptures but I don’t know that Na the names of pastors and G.Os you will be dragging here. I’m ready for that in the year 2024. So avoid me

MaxInDHouse:
Regarding the highlighted please quote the Bible not what your church says.
That's the only way you can reach the hearts of real Bible believers not people following the traditions set by different religionists like Kumuyi, Adeboye, Oyedepo, Olukoya, Oyakilome and Co.
If you want to reach people's hearts use God's word {Hebrews 4:12} let's see where God's word specifically mentioned those dress codes!

you don’t have to bring the names of pastors or prophets here. You aren’t mature here. Let’s iron it through the Bible they read and the way it’s been interpreted. You will be displaying your ignorance here by dragging the name of pastors, prophets or Apostles to the discussion. Bible is the Christian standard, so speak more of Bible scriptures

MaxInDHouse:
Do you BELIEVE what is written in the Bible or you're just arguing in support of your church tradition?

I'm telling you that Israelites aren't Christians right from the time Jesus walked this planet till today and i'm quoting the Bible to show you not just arguing blindly!

I believe what’s in the Bible and goes with what the church follow traditionally cos’ the Bible is our manual and our standard in the Christian fold

descarado:
This is igbo men traditional attire.
Trouser is from a borrowed culture.

The problem with you guys is that you hardly research on anything. Once some deluded persons say something and look for one passage to back it up, you all follow like zombie.

In the time of the bible, Israeli men wear gown.
Before you continue, check the origin of trouser.
Who made you guys like this.
When they say our intelligent quotient is very low, I agree wholeheartedly if not why will an educated adult I presume believe this thing you wrote up there.
Moralistic yet the most corrupt nation in the world.

Christianity is a joke in Nigeria.

this is traditional culture here. The man wearing Igbo wears which he put on odogwu top with rapper with it. In the modern culture, if he’s in the office or shop, he will put on shirt 👔 👕 and trouser with it. So I hope you can understand between traditional culture and modern culture now.

MaxInDHouse:
So is Christianity about culture?
NO!
Otherwise how are you going to relate with your fellow believers in Indian where the official dress code for females is trousers?
So the case of trousers is not what the Bible is talking about in that verse because back then both males and females in Israel wear skirts not trousers!

you make it a culture if you are not committing sins with it. You make it a culture if you dwell in it by wearing what is meant for the male part and the women wearing the female parts too. See Christian is culture. It’s instructions from God that men shouldn’t wear tattoos, women’s wears, wigs, chains and rings.

MaxInDHouse:
NO! They detests Christ and Christianity!

That law wasn't given to Christians because Jesus commanded his disciples to go and make disciples in other nations {Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8} they're not to preach the laws Moses gave their forefathers those laws were to guide them until the arrival of the Christ {Deuteronomy 18:18-19} so after the Christ has come they no longer need those laws {Galatians 3:23-25} what they need is the Christ who doesn't teach them the constitution of their own land rather what will be applicable globally in God's Kingdom that's why the Israelites hate Jesus and his disciples with passion! Act 4:18; 5:28

you are confusing yourself the more. Laws are different from instructions. What of not putting in tattoos in the body too. Stop confusing yourself here please. In Israel, we have the Jews, the Egyptians, the Palestinians, the Muslims, the arabians, the Greeks, et al

MaxInDHouse:
We shouldn't allow some people to brainwash us when it comes to what the Bible says!
In Bible times the men and women put on skirts no trousers back then trousers is Western culture and they designed it for both male and female.
In som cultures trousers is their ladies wear it has nothing to do with immodest dressing as they go about their businesses.
However if we are talking about our own culture here the ṣòkòtò (trousers) is for males while the ìró (wrapper) is for females so it has nothing to do with the laws God gave Israel some 3,600 years ago.
The real import of that law is to curb lesbianism and homosexualism in the camp of God's people back then. For homosexuals to carry out their unnatural desire one of the males must put on the act of a female (act as the wife) and for lesbians to do the same one of the females must act as the husband that's what God's word is saying not what people are wearing outwardly which differs from one place to another!

you mentioned culture here, in Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa including Fulani culture, the women wear skirts or rapper why they men wear trousers 👖. You see that you are wrong with your opinion on culture. If we applied culture here, women will be wearing skirts everywhere.

Good one from the governor

illicit:
Says who?

This is verified history, check it out


Mind u, if I ask u, 400 years ago, do your people wear skirts and trousers?

Was Jesus himself wearing trousers?

Those that wrote the Bible, did they wear trousers and skirts?

When human beings begin to wear such clothes, it was women that wears trousers, look just Google it

1000 years ago, men wears trousers 👖 why women wears skirts or rappers. Check history of isreal in the 60’s before they got independent

Good one from Governor Fubara

MaxInDHouse:
Laws given to the Israelites as the constitution of that nation back then it's not for Christians!

Are isrealites not Christians again 🙄🙄🙄
