AndroBlaze: Oga learn to read, no judge is depriving anyone of anything.
Even secondary students know that the Executive is only allowed to spend when they have presented their budgets to the Legislative arm and they ok it. 3 people are not enough to represent the legislative arm when no mass disaster occured and God did not suddenly take the others away like Elijah.
As for the LG elections, again he needed to follow the extant laws and failed to do so for selfish reasons. Abuja cannot be sending money to people in the Local government that are not recognised by the constitution.
This is not rocket science or juju...it is simple government 101..... Fubara chose to be led and deceived by cowardly people who have never won a fight single handedly on their own and now managed to make a barely literate Wike look like a first class professor in law.
As long as we celebrate wiki and Tinubu prowess in this Judgement, we should also remember that the law is applicable to all, not only for the federal mights, if 27 self acclaimed law makers willingly surrender their legitimacy, there is no reason why the other 3 must not continue with the affaires of that state, the state can not come to ruin because 27 people decided to quit their elective offices, Fubara should not be deterred, conduct another local government Election what so ever, Depriving state Resource to govern in what ever guise is an aberration whether the order is from supreme court or Magistrate court ...
polycarp65: Fubara will continue to drive wheel of governance in Rivers, despite S/Court judgment----Opposition Lawmakers
Despite Supreme Court's Judgment Gov. Fubara will continue to drive the wheel of governance in Rivers State until the case on legality of decampment of Pro-Wike lawmakers at Appeal Court is decided- Nigeria Opposition Lawmaker's Coalition Spokesperson Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere
..Supreme Court didn't deliver Judgement on the legality of the decampment of the 27 wike lawmakers to the APC, case is pending at Appeal Court.
..The case Challenging the illegality of the pro-Wike decampment is being heard at the Appeal Court.
Nigeria's Coalition of Opposition lawmakers has said that despite Supreme Court judgement on Friday, Governor Siminalayi Fubara will continue to drive the wheel of governance in Rivers State until the case on legality of decampment of the sacked lawmakers which is presently at Appeal Court is finally decided.
The Opposition lawmakers went further to say that the voiding of the local govt election will not affect the continuance of governance at the rural area saying that governance and welfare of the people are the primary responsibility of govt and that sacred responsibility is not going to stop.
Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere (PDP, Imo) Spokesperson of the coalition said this in reaction to the Apex Court ruling which amongst others ordered the Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly and other elected members of the House to forthwith resume sitting.
The Supreme Court on Friday, also reinstated the judgement which earlier barred the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Accountant General of the Federation from releasing statutory monthly allocations to Rivers State.
But, the Opposition lawmakers disagreed with Supreme Court Judgement, saying ruling capable of inflicting injury on the people of Rivers.
Ugochinyere insisted that the Supreme Court did not deliver judgement on the legality of the decampment of the 27 pro-Wike lawmakers to All Progressives Congress (APC) as the case was pending at Appeal Court between the pro wike sacked lawmakers and the Action Peoples Party APP.
The lawmaker wondered why the Apex court delivered such a judgement which tantamount to depriving the people of Rivers their political and economic rights - to elect their leaders at the third tier of government and get what is accrued to them from the federation account which they made significant contribution.
The lawmaker described as unfortunate, the decision of the Supreme Court on these two appeals which does not augur well for democracy and federalism, saying the appeal court acted in good faith for the interest of Rivers people who an individual was trying to hold captive.
"It is indeed, surprising that the Supreme Court faulted the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal for vacating the initial order that stopped the release of funds to Rivers State from the consolidated revenue on the pretext that Governor Fubara did not to re-present the 2024 Appropriation Bill of the state before the Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led sacked faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
"Notwithstanding, Governor Fubara will continue to drive the wheel of governance in Rivers until the case on legality of decampment is decided and the Supreme Court
"For emphasis, the case challenging the illegality of the pro wike decampment is been heard at Appeal Court and we are surprised Supreme Court would confered legitimacy on lawmakers whose decampment is still a subject of litigation.
"To power drunk pro Wike group, the sacked 27 lawmakers stand removed having desecrated the Constitution and decamped from peaceful PDP to rancorous APC. They should not celebrate, it's not yet uhuru," he stated.
He ended by saying that the LGA as a democratic institution will continue to serve the people and the judgement have not affected delivery governance to the People and that the former chairmen whose tenure expired last year still remains former chairmen and can't come back to office again.
I can not comprehend what ever principles or logical instincts behind this unprecedented ruling, how can supreme court Ban release of Funds to River state while punish the people if this is truly Democracy??

gidgiddy: This what the King of Nkalaha, Igwe Thompson Ebe said about the Killings in his community
“I had written a report to the governor and copied security agencies, because the problem started on January 20, up till January 31, 2025.
“We have continued to mediate between the Agila in Benue State and the Fulani herdsmen. I even invited them to my house in Abakaliki to talk to them about their cows that were allegedly killed. We have even made some arrests to ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended. As we are still talking, this ugly incident of killings took place on Sunday.
“The herdsmen attacked a total of three villages – Amagu, Amaokwe and Umunesha. We are still recovering the bodies of the casualties. Now, the number has increased to 15, and we are looking for two others,”
You know, southeast governors usually shy away from the truth just to please a political fellow where as your people are been killed everyday, every information posted above are first hand, any other concorted lies will not be for the interest of the masses.. except those that will like to believe misinformations..
[b] Nearly hundreds of poor villagers killed last week, in Amagu Nkalaha a neighbouring community with Eha-Amufu and Benue community usually occupied by Igalahs and some Fulani Terriorst group, Reliable information by locals and other neighbouring communities details how Fulani herdsmen has threatened to invade the community over an alleged missing cows said to may have been killed by some unknown persons. Information has it that Fulani and igala Terrorists has been killing and kidnapping people along the boundaries of Obeagu, Eha- Amufu and Nkalaha in that same local government, Nwifuru like other Igbo politicians Okorocha, Hope Uzodimma, Umahi, and other weak Igbo politicians will struggle to sell this cheap blackmail of community hoodlums killing their own fathers mother's and even children, what misguided lies,like his predecessors He will struggle to ration this misinformation feed to him by the so called security agents around that communities, if police and Army can cover up Atrocities committed in Okuama village last year, I know they will strongly try to mislead people with lies and fairytales, Nwifuru can chase the cloud as usual to gain support of the Tinubu Yorubas and their counterpart Hausa Fulani Oligarchy, But he can not cover the Truth...[/b]

[quote author=owobokiri post=133089459]I blame Igbos living in Lagos for all these nonsense. They have been lukewarm for a very long time. They allowed Tinubu as the governor, together with his handpicked successors to load them with heavy taxes.
They never complained. They never agitated. Never fought back. Tax upon taxes by the Lagos government on thousands of Igbo businesses over the years in Lagos, emboldened Tinubu to think he can eternally turn the whole Igbo race into a platoon of tax paying slaves.
What he wants to do is to have traders vomit all their hard earned profits through all sorts of tariffs, rates, charges and endless taxes. They're not interested in building a society that works on hard work. They're rent seekers who are trying to force traders to subsidize their penchants for greater owanbeism.
This must never be allowed to succeed.[/qu
And that's how I created a thread here where I complained about the Newly 50 naira charge for all transfers and one illiterate mod locked the post so that people will not comment,
They want to kill people with tax, he said he has made money he will not steal but now he is openly stealing without any penalties...
I blame Igbo Billionaires who still invest their money in that Lagos..
The Tinubu Draconic Ruled Nigeria Government Has Increased all their Efforts to Exploit impoverish and subject more Nigerians in to hardship and agony, By imposing all forms of illicit Taxes and hidden taxations, Just this morning alone I received 9950 for a transfer that supposed to be 10000 naira subsequently I received a follow message that federal government now charge 50 naira for any Transfer Equal or above 10k, so upon all the hardship imposed by this man by so called Fuel subsidy he is still Devising several options to cause more pains on Citizens, in a country where the Government does not contribute any thing meaningful to the lives of it's Citizens??...
This is what i typed! Read it again and show me where i said he was not flogged? You all need to go back to school!

Dangote Refinery agreed to sell petrol directly to its members, ending the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL) role
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has announced that its members will lower petrol prices by N50 per litre when buying directly from Dangote Refinery.
Abubakar Maigandi, IPMAN’s National President, announced the news in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday.
He stated that Dangote Refinery had agreed to supply petrol to IPMAN members at a rate of N940 per litre for depots and N990 per litre for trucks.
According to Maigandi, under this arrangement, IPMAN members who currently sell petrol for between N1,150 and N1,200 per litre will reduce their prices by N50, depending on location.
“Presently, we have been given two different arrangements on how to buy fuel from the refinery,” he noted. “There’s one where we can load the vessels and carry them to our various depots at the rate of N940 per litre. Then, for the depots, it is at the rate of N990 per litre.”
In Maiduguri, for instance, Maigandi mentioned that “the current price is N1,200 per litre. With these changes, it may likely reduce to N1,150, which is a reduction of N50. So that’s N1,150; it may even be below that.”

Deji should stop spewing trash. When Wike was far younger than you are now, he was someone of more far relevance than you are and as long as the clock keeps ticking and you remain in this world, we will see how you will both look and what you will amount to in 11ys and see if you accomplish what Wike has done with his own life.
Remember, 11ys ago, Wike was a Federal Minister while you were just an upcoming online activist .
Kreesxxx: A reminder to Deji Adeyanju that Wikes health condition wasn't as it is now some 11 years ago. A decade is enough to alter a man's life. Like death no man mocks the other with their health condition. We have seen those who do not drink dying before those who drink.

chnnmfl: Igbos rejected Buhari, he ended up as a disaster.
Igbos rejected Tinubu, he turnout to be disaster too.
Igbos rejected Biden/Harris and supported Trump, They both turnout to be a disaster.
I remember in 2016-2020, Igbos were the only black group in the world that supported Trump and even held a rally for him. People mocked them for supporting a racist... Many years after, what is the result now?
Making good decisions is linked with high IQ
High IQ is a virtue and Natural inheritance if you don't have that you won't succeed with good judgement, Igbos are the face of True Democracy in this world...
