See what men do to feed their family. Shameless sycophants singing the governor is here and their children will be watching it.

It can only happen in Nigeria

It can happen anywhere!

Dancebreaker:
Labour often deports more than the conservatives when in power. Labour tries hard to impress, but no matter how much Labour deports, they are never appreciated by the voters. Blair introduced huge fines for those employing illegals and deported a lot.

There is already the bias that only Conservatives or recently, the untested right wingers can sort immigration.

The issue is with messaging.
Labour may deport more but avoid clear communication or taking a definite side for fear
of being labelled as anti-immigrant, fascists, xenophobes, pro-illegals etc by left-wingers and right wingers.
So, they are considered pro- open borders on sitting on the fence.

To be fair though, both Tory and Labour have been very lax with immigration.
One talks about it sometime and may do little, the other prefer to work mostly in the shadow sometimes.

But voters wants someone who talks tough and can clearly choose a side and declare that
"We have immigration emergency and I will solve it" instead of the one showing infographs on
how many more they deported even though they can't be quoted to condemn illegal migration.
It won't matter if the tough guy eventually make no impact, it is the choosing of a side that convinces the voters.

I say, Labor, just like the American Democrats dug themselves into a needless pit and the conservatives or far right
will milk it for years to come.

The era of silent governance seems to be coming to an end in the west. It is all about showmanship now.

It is not by force to give aids.
The Houthis doesn't want it!

Mariangeles:
Taa!
Braggadocios as always!
Why then has kidnapping become so common in your place?

It is not my place!
I praise noteworthy initiatives wherever I see one.
It is funny that you expect a problem that took years to develop to suddenly disappear within a few days.

The metric that makes sense at this early stage is whether the criminals are feeling the heat, the answer is yes.
Reduction in crime is expected to happen gradually not overnight.

Stammer is jittery.
Immigration is the number one issue for UK voters.
It won't matter how well Stammer performs.
If he can't reduce the numbers, he is a goner in the next election.

Ojiofor:
What is the difference between Anambra and Imo as regards to insecurity?
This one na kettle wey dey call pot black.

The difference is that one has resigned to fate and accepted their lot.
The other sees a way out and is pursuing it.

NothingDoMe:
Okay, how many European leaders have agreed to Ukraine joining NATO?

How many European leaders have objected?
Don't you know that Europe is heavily dependent on US security wise and US was the primary armorer of Ukraine.
And with Trump in charge, it will be foolish for any to antagonize him on the Ukraine issue.

Trump may overplay his hand and get Europe to launch its own home-based Security Treaty though.

BiggandKlever:
I have a feeling President Trump is about to throw Zelensky and Ukraine under the bus-which is sad really. I hope he undertands that after all the money the U.S.A threw into this war and all the Ukrainian souls that perished needlessly it will be preposterous if neither Ukraine nor the U.S.A end this war without something tangible to show.
Am talking of options like leave Ukraine intact and she won't join NATO etc.

Trump doesn't care about any outcome.
In fact, there would be no security guarantee in the peace deal.

Trump wants the war to end at all cost because of local oil price in the US.
Whatever deal reached will be just a pause until Russia starts another war
again using "NATO" as excuse.
If Ukraine is foolish not to develop nukes and missiles within the few "peace" years, it will
be completely overrun in the next war.

NothingDoMe:
They already got Finland and Sweden to join thereby increasing NATO's border with Russia.

Zelensky should take heart. The decision is not from Trump alone but other European leaders as well.

No, the decision is from Trump alone.
Both Trump and Europe knows that Russia will start another war with Ukraine in 5 to 10 years time using NATO
as pretext once again. There can be no security guarantee without NATO membership.
But Trump don't care about anything not directly affecting the US anymore.

ElSudani:
Price gouging is one of the reasons food became unaffordable in the first place not that food suddenly disappeared from the market.

Food actually disappeared from the market, that is, lower production/harvest.
Call it whatever you like, lower supply leads to higher prices.

And these current lower prices is food reappearing in the market, that is, higher production/harvest.

OboOlora:
Long Overdue!!!!!!!
He's way bigger than Olamide and the entire YBNL just like Rema is way bigger than Don Jazzy and his record label

This is the village mentality that gets many musicians career wrecked too early.
A record label is not in popularity contest with any signed artiste.
Stop confusing the two.

It is true that nice English cannot win an election in Nigeria.
You need money, godfathers and thugs.
Failure to have at least two of those is automatic election loss.

Putindbutt:
Why is the local security outfit committing jungle justice?. Imo people have the rights to protest unless it was verified that the men were criminals.

Imo people have no right to protest.
They have abandoned their state to criminals through sabotage and non-challance
and cannot expect other state to do the same.

The question to ask is what are "building engineers" doing among armed kidnappers?

Pelicanbrief:
Do you also know that the only place on earth you'll find a fulani man behaving himself and not crossing his boundaries is in Eastern Nigeria? But in Western Nigeria they kill and molest yorubas with reckless abandon in yoruba land.

Let that pain and shame marinate and sink in 😃

Wow!
When did kidnapping, killing and raping same thing as behaving themselves in the east?
Or have you been living under the cave for millenia?

Like a typical Ipob member, you suffer from pathological ignorance and engage extreme projection.
Let me briefly school you on why using your environment to judge is the wrong approach.

You have a human god(Kanu/Ekpa), Yoruba have no such and have never did. And contrary to your belief, Tinubu
is not considered a god to be defended by the average Yoruba person.
You believe in noise, Yoruba people believe in results.

The real topic of your thread is why is it that you get attacked when you and your goons criticize Tinubu but
Elrufai does the same and get away with it. That is essentially when you are in deep pain but you can't directly ask due to shame.
Instead of asking directly, you instead adopt a superiority facade.

Well, the reason is simple, you are politically useless to Tinubu, that is why Tinubu's supporters
attacks you while avoiding conflict with Elrufai. If you politically switch position with Elrufai, you
will also be "feared" by Tinubu's crews while you are useful.

So, such difference in response has nothing to do with fear, hate, love, respect or envy or what have you.
It is just politics.

An average Yoruba person do not fear any body or group. Don't confuse your society with others.

kettykin:
These clueless people with their laughable priorities—Google completely fumbled the AI race, leaving the Chinese to seize control, at least for now. It’s a total disgrace, a catastrophic failure of vision and execution. How much more pathetic can it get? Even the Bible, for crying out loud, tells the clueless to pray for wisdom because they clearly lack the brains to figure things out on their own. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Did you skip your meds?

Bunch of noise making jokers.

EXOUSIAng:
I am waiting to see what they will say after the forthcoming Anambra state elections.
Let's see how much influence Peter has in his home state.
They are joking with PBAT

Are you serious?
Only a political neophyte uses governorship election to predict the presidential one.

2023 elections should have taught you that governors cannot force their party to win the
presidential election.

Rather than focus on the impending effects of Trump's sanction, you are
here giving yourself a false hope.
South Africa and not Nigeria is under sanction.
And if you are as resilient as you claimed, your government won't be charging
activist groups with treason over the same sanction.

UHLmoving:
This new new pricing is ridiculous

Imagine over 200% increment in some cases.

But why should a South African owned MTN be hiking prices this high?

Glo is no doing it's job, we need a formidable indigenous telecom service provider.

It is a shame there is no reliable alternative.
Glo is long dead when it comes to internet connectivity except in select locations.

press9jatv:
Adeleke is a clueless goner. You guys don’t even have voter’s card. Na to rant from the corners of your room

Nobody takes you serious. You are doing your pay per post job.
I remember when you were hired by the other side.
Tomorrow, you could switch side again.

DONFRANSKID:
Abeg make una allow gen z rest
Every small gen z this gen z that.

Don't mind them.
It seems they just learn the word.
It is not as if they are better behaved.

This political jobber is just wasting his time.
Adeleke is getting a landslide in 2026.

It is time to initiate an impeachment proceeding against Fubara for contempt of court
and other illegalities.
No governor has the power to selectively choose who can be a member of a state
house of assembly.

Justnation:
You are right,
the case fugbara withdrew was instituted when amewuhle was still in PDP and sitting as speaker of the Rivers State assembly. It was just about the budget and earlier impeachment of amewuhle which prompted the governor to present the budget to the new speaker honourable Elue.
It has nothing to do with the defection to APC which is another matter entirely.

Stop fooling yourself.
There is no matter anywhere.
If there is, state the court.
The 27 members are the authentic Rivers Assembly member since last year.
Since the Federal high court judgement, there has been no other other contrary pronouncement from
higher courts.

And no, Fubara can't determine who is or not a member of an assembly.

tope777:
Today is 10 Feb 2025, let's revisit and laugh out loud 😂 at some of the Ogogoro/Kai Kai predictions by Wikematics bingos

✍️ Fubara will be impeached and sent back to Opobo before December 👉 Prediction Failed

Is this a cry for help or what?
Fubara lost all his appeals and you spamming nairaland with ignorant points.
How does this negate the fact that Fubara lost?

Oko jumbo assembly doesn't exist according to the law and are mere impostors.
Whatever it does is null and void.

The dull Ikenga couldn't tell which of the appeals was resolved in favor of Fubara.

tishbite43:
If it is true, Fubara would have been impeached by now
Quit playing
You're too old for that

You are not yet matured to comment on political.
Impeachment is a process and not done via announcement.
It is better to sit down and watch since you don't know what is going on.

EmeeNaka:
This case is no longer useful to Fubara as 2024 budget is fully spent and concluded. This is 2025. If Amaewule want Fubara to present 2025 budget to him, he should go back to Federal high court to start new application

No need.
Fubara will need another magic to present budget to his 3 friends in 2026.
He will essentially need to set aside the judgment of the appeal court.
Goodluck to him!

hmm

A person who represents himself in court has a fool for a client

Said a wise American president.

All these are grammar to confuse little kids.
The authentic house as of today is the 27 member block.

I read Fubara is trying to start the same case again from the high court
to use a friendly local judge to sack the 27 members again.

Of course, the judgment will be overturned again in higher courts but
his supporters say, he will just withdraw from the case and start again
in lower courts.

Well, that sounds nice in theory, but judges are not idiots to be played like fools
and Fubara will find out later.

OChimex:
They are the real owners of SA. White populated areas in SA is so damn good that I have met a young white SA girl in the US who was schooling. She said once her program is over, she is heading back to SA. Lol

It doesn't matter.
I said poor whites will be happy to leave, you are talking about privileged white.
How does this connect?
