STFU..... Na people like una dy destroy this country.... Sometimes I wish war go dy make we cleanse this land

Who be the "make we?"
You know wetin be war? You think say na ASUU strike?

At times, some things are self-inflicted. His lifestyle brought about his death. I never heard of him until today. I just did a little research and discovered that he was a gangster rapper.

How is being a gangster a huge flex for some of these black Americans? Funy enough na nose, nose dem dey use sing their "wanna, gonna, ni**a, b*t*h lyrics." Meaningless songs! Tufiakwa!

This was my post on another black American last month.

aviara:
Our focus for now is how to kick out Tinubu from Aso rock so don't bring in this your lame argument to distract us. Are you happy with how Tinubu and APC are steering the country since 2015 till date?

Who do you want to replace Tinubu with? Atiku or Obi? You dey play? Are we now going in circles?

We have young innovative minds, but for some reason you recycle the same corrupt men and complain later.

Why do people in power fail to understand that these traditional stools go way back in history? Passing a law to alter an age-long traditional pattern is crazy!

The alleged Atiku-Obi alliance is for their selfish interest. I still don't know when Obi attained this sainthood that is been sold online. Atiku, Saraki, Obi, Tinubu, Fubara, Lamido, Kwakwanso, Ganduje, Tambuwal, Kalu, Wike, Fashola and a hist of many too numerous to mention are the same thing! They are friends and business partners. Na we dey kill ourselves for naught.

Every politician you know is there for his/her selfish interest. Nothing concern them with you or your well-being, oga/madam.

What do they do for us? Check out the projects they carry out compared to how much they budgeted for it.

If to say Buhari no rule, na so we for think say na saint too. He took Nigeria 40 years back and today he's somewhere chilling with the alleged billions he has amassed for himself.

Na wa oooo!

Djele:
Wike's handwork

Are you being serious?
This is one of the reasons why they want to regulate social media. Una go just dey talk anyhow. If they hold you now, you go dey shout up and down.🤨

I made this my hair by myself, just this night. Rate me please.

You did well, lady.
Maybe I'll try to cut my hair by my own self.😂

I do not believe the Igbos are being marginalized. They want power given to them when they can equally fight for it.

I think they are not united too. Like, why are they divided between restructuring, presidency, and Biafra?

When it comes to business, I comot cap for Igbo people. Na their bragging right be that.

The only thing I dislike about some Igbos is the mentality that they are a superior tribe and greater than any other on earth. That mentality is disgusting, to say the least. It is the same mentality that makes the white man think he is superior by virtue of his skin colour. What makes you superior? That you're Igbo?

Villa12:
the racism in Nigeria is worse than anywhere. Igbos were not allowed to vote in Lagos, same country. What do you call that? Igbos are seen as third class citizens, what do you call that? The northerners believes they owned this country and it's their birth rights to rule, what do you call that? A country that a child from yobe with 2 score can be given admission to federal unity school but a child in Imo or Ogun state with 180 score may not get admitted, what do you call that? Should we go to religion intolerance? What of patriarchal against women? Discrimination to singles? Discrimination to a family that didn't have a child or all girl child?

Nigeria racism is worse

Tribalism is at its crescendo in Nigeria and I totally agree. The major victims of religious intolerance are the African traditional worshippers. Christians and Muslims see them as evil!

The patriarchal culture you talked about is an African thing. Whileit is still existing, I can tell you for free that it is not as predominant as it used to be. It was a belief passed down for generations. We're changing the narrative.

Let me tell you this, sire. Hausa/Fulani people are treated as third-class citizens down South. When you see an Hausa/Fulani man, what comes into your mind is "This one na aboki-mallam (in a demeaning manner), cow, ewu, boko haram, bandit." I grew up seeing this.

Igbos on the other hand have been marginalised politically. I blame them to an extent because they play bad/baby politics. This is something Orji Uzor Kalu et Dave Umahi have said. They pull down the ladder which they need to access the top. For instance, an Igbo man in APC is seen as a betrayer and a sellout. Why is that so?
I totally agree that an Igbo man should rule too, but is power given? It is taken! If you want to be at the top, you relate with those at the top.


I expect some people to abuse me based on my own opinion ooooh. Well, it is a Nairaland thing and I care less.

BigIyanga:
None… but it’s borne of our of poverty-shaped mentality with a very singular and linear idea of comparison.. You cant vouch that Fanta is better than Coke when you have only tasted Fanta all your life…A comparison is based on 2 or more tested narratives not on a singular narrative

I bet you prefer Nigeria to Afghanistan. But have you tested both? That narrative is flawed.

The idea of "poverty-shaped" mentality in making decisions is out of the picture here.

Kwaramustgoodag:
and still asking u and the price still down for u if u can give me any or bring any case out that efcc charged peter obi to after his tenure as a governor of anambra. Stop bringing social media news. Politicians using social medias to tarnished image of many people that can lead this country forward, employing influencians, and dash out fake stories about such person, but u will read the story, but won't fact check. We have so many young and vibrant people to lead this country forward,but already used media to tarnished them. We have someone like fela durotoye, omoyele sowore, Kingsley moghalo, bukola saraki, raji fashola, osinbanjo, femi gbajabiamila, and this borno gonernor, and many more. Nigerians prefer voting bad choice to offices, and later cried. Don't be surprise if Wike contest presidential election and win, or akbabio.

And what is wrong with Wike or Akpabio contesting the presidential election? Have they been tried and convicted by any court?

BigIyanga:
Oga, you’re deluding yourself. Your humble opinion is borne out of poverty around you..i mean poverty of govt structure.. poverty of public infrastructure , poverty of community around. … and financial proverty.
Herbert Wigwe’s 1st late son, stayed in UK for secondary school.. and US for uni.. are you richer and more successful than him?
Atiku and his family live abroad.. are you better than them?
Tinubu’s kids live in thd US.. are you better than them?

And what's the crime in saying I prefer Nigeria?

gift2xl:
But they went and amended the law to extend their stay criminals. No visible impact of their usefulness in office for 3yrs towas the people.
They are waiting for the judiciary.

Get it right! They didn't amend the law to extend their stay. They did so because they wanted Fubara to conduct an election. If Sim Fubara had conducted same, this drama wouldn't have taken place.

Fubara on the other hand knew that if he had done so at the right time, he would have lost all the 23 LGA to Wike. Hence the need to appoint his own guys.

All these things na politics.

Racoon:
Kenneth returning to the APC is his personal choice if true. However, a pig always going back to its vomit does not have any honour left.

Will your opinion be the same if Ex. Gov. Peter Gregory Obi decides to move back to the PDP?

I am inquisitive.

eniteden:
Nigeria is sweet because we enjoy watching others surfer as long we have enough for ourselves plus all the opportunities.

The only sweet thing in Nigeria is the ability to oppress, bribe, and take advantage of our lower class without being repelled at all.

Over there things work for everyone to an extent not for a few.

FACT: Nigeria is the best country in the world but let share the love by helping each other starting from the Government, then u will see everyone running back home.

Cheers

You're a testament that there are still sane people on Nairaland. I love the fact that you gave your dissenting view without the need to call me names.

Cheers!

BigIyanga:
Story.. have you made it😂😂. Humble opinion espoused by someone with poverty-shaped mentality. Most Nigerians have poverty-shaped mentality…that’s why our politrickkans steal and keep stealing

Do not judge me based on your standards. For a young single guy my age, I am doing very well for myself even without indulging in fraud or any allied societal vice.
Based on my goal, I would say I have not attained the height I hope to, but I however cannot relate when you talk about the poverty-shaped mentality. I don't know what is called poverty.

I guess you're going through poverty and I wish you all the best to survive it.

onadana:
Your opinion. But be sensible enough to give your children another option in life with the way things are going in Nigeria.Even in Nigeria there is inferiority complex and racism....band A,B,C what do you call that?The have's and the have not what do you call that?Some Christian students have no where to worship in higher institutions in the North, what do you call that?etc

It's called classism and it is everywhere.
We have our ethnoreligious wahala while the Westerners have their superiority complex wahala mixed with "woke culture."

Nigeria is not as bad as we are painting it to be. People still dey make am for Naija everyday.

onadana:
When you go abroad that is when you suddenly realise you are in stoneage all along.You never taste am that's why.....

I have never been outside the shores of this country and trust me, I will.

Do I want to reside there? The answers remains no! Why would I want to be in a country that its citizens see me as inferior because of my skin colour? Why would I want to be in a country that has embraced sexual perversity? Why would I want to expose my kids to such rot?

Nigeria no good, but I like it here.

🇳🇬 Naija all the way!

E be things!
This political tussle don tie serious George (wrapper).

We wey from Rivers State know say our state no dey grow in terms of development. Na stupid mudslinging politics we sabi play.

That's the more reason why the emergency supporters of Sim Fubara will not understand that there are those behind Fubara who are using him merely to fight Wike. When they are done, they will move from Sim to the next person.

Unfortunately, you have been fooled for you to be this gullible!

If this is me being gullible, then I wouldn't want to be you. I made some salient points unlike you who chose to quote me without countering my points with a superior argument.

It sucks to be you in this case.

Frankiss44:
Nothing choke am for truth.. This na just to form say the process of election is in going.. And the process go continue till 1st tenure end

Politics dey change sha. But as it stands, I see Sim struggling to survive his first tenure only.

If things should remain the same, no way for him oooo, except say na LP go give am ticket. PDP and APC will not.

Remman:
There's no need for source as i'm the source.

In Odumeje's voice,

WHO YOU?😂😂😂

Politics na ya mate.. 😂

He ought to have done this earlier. The thing don dey choke am for throat.

Justice kio has ruled it UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Take it to appeal then supreme court, its still unconstitutional. Those Chairmen are gone paving way for the governor to install his men. That's the game. As it is , the 27 lawmakers can't bring them back. So what's the way forward?? 😂

Let me make it easier for you to understand. Fubara sent the CTC list to the state House of Assembly led by "factional Speaker," Victor Jumbo, on Tuesday.

If it happens that the 27 lawmakers triumph in court, it would be deemed that all the actions of this current assembly led by Jumbo is a nullity. This includes the confirmed CTC list, commissioners and other appointments.

Like I told you, there is a FHC Order from Justice Omotosho's court recognizing Amaewhule's assembly. This is the law by virtue of Section 272 (3) CFRN 1999 as amended which hold that it is "only" the FHC that can determine whether or not the seat of a State House of Assembly member is vacant. This order has not been vacated. It is still subsisting.

The judgement that derecognized Amaewhule's assembly emanated from a State High Court which lacks jurisdiction by virtue of the subject matter.

I say all these to say that the matter still tie big wrapper. The matter go reach Supreme Court.

phantom:
You know the law yet you haven't realised the local govt chairmen are gone and gone for good. 😂
Let me tell you something. SIM is smart! Dude is playing politics. His aim is to remove WIKES men fro office which he has done. A notice has just been given for a stakeholders meeting to draw timeliness for LG elections.. now let me ask you... if the 27 lawmakers come back and sack the new caretakertaker council ... who takes over the local govts in the interim? 😂

Una think say una smart.. 😂.. the game was to GET WIKES MEN OUT!!!

Sim had ample time to conduct an election. Why didn't he? Una dey hype the man too much! He is SIMply scared and clueless.He won't conduct an election!

Who is in control of PDP and APC in the state? What vehicle (political party) will his supporter hide under to win? Who will give them ticket?

Have you answered these questions?😂😂😂

Runaway:
Sorry to disappoint you, it's a cheque, take it to the bank...

Make we bet? You should know Nigerian politics by now.

Frankiss44:
Jokers... Rivers House of Assembly can't pass a law alien to our constitution.. The chairmen are good as gone..

It's not alien to our constitution, oga.
It was merely domesticated at the state level to promote smooth transition of power at the LG level.

It is a beautiful piece of legislation.

BERNIMOORE:
Stop speaking with ignorance, when the appeal court reinstates Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule 26 orthers, all decisions by the minority faction of 3 becomes Nulity including all nominees they have approved for the curious young boy called fubara, Now the Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule 26 ors will now extend the duration of the LG chairmen and sack the jokers fubara appointed yesterday ...Yawn

God bless you, my brother. It shows that you really understand the law. If Amaewhule's assembly is confirmed, it will be over for Sim.

The CTC guys as well as all the commissioners will be out. These ones parading themselves as lawmakers will be suspended again! Mind you, they were already suspended by Amaewhule even before the issue of defection came up.

The matter never even start. I am not bothered about the LG Chairmen. Na Assembly I focus on.

Remman:
There's nobody like Tinubu behind Sim. Wike was the governor of Rivers for 8 years and everybody knows who he is. He brought in Sim so that he'd continue to rule. Let me just hint you the background of the problem.
1. Sim became governor while Wike's signature remained the signatory to the state's budgetry account. Sim kicked off projects and have to seek permit to get fund.
2. Sim is the governor but has to seek Wike's approval for employment.
3. Sim begged his boss to just allow him get a say in employment of his own people especially people that will cook for him and run some programmes for him. Wike told him that it's unnecessary, and should manage the ones he kept there.
4. Wike made moves to collect 60% of state's allocated funds for himself. This would term sim as a criminal when he leaves office.
5. Sim, in order to save his name owing that he was wanted by EFCC still due to Wike's fraud, now wants to save himself.

If I ask for source now, you go speak Swahili.

EreluRoz:
God knows abroad doesn't freak me. Holidays yes and boom I'm back. I can't function well in a country that I'll have to follow protocols in everything.

Guy! I'm happy to see that someone shares my view. Nigeria is sweet ooooh, just get money.

wunmi590:
Make unah dey read constitution before unah comment, telling a governor is half smart, somebody who knows everything about the constitution?

Setting up a care taker committees is constitutional, he will conduct a fresh election after 90days...

Wike did it during his time, it is because he has issue with wike, that's why we are hearing this fight, if not nobody would have challenged him

What section of the constitution exactly? I 1 check something.
