Even if the world is against you, we will be against the world.
The world is a stage, and you have played your part.
Irrespective of the circumstances, we'd always keep Faith.
My best wishes always.

This was Mikel Obi speaking in 2005, when he hadn’t joined Chelsea. Look at how he spoke. Some clowns expect him to now live for ten uninterrupted years in London and be speaking like Kanu and Okocha.
Yesterday in Abuja, the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified the timetable & schedule for party primaries for #NigeriaDecides2027 issued by @inecnigeria. Here is the text of the court order.👇
The entire permutation would be mere cartoonwalk if he didn't have the SHoA or, in the least, half of it, in his pocket, which is Wike's leverage - key difference between him and those who successfully fended off pressing Godfathers. It's most elementary Module of Politics 101
The problem isn’t that Fubara didn’t try to be brave, he had taken over the LGAs, disrupted the HoA and won the public approval war until Bola Tinubu intervened with presidential powers on behalf of Wike, there was virtually little option available to Fubara with the state of emergency declaration. Even SC would not have saved him at the time.
The problem wasn’t a fighting problem, it was an inability to read the political climate and he chose the easier way out by joining APC, hoping to displace Wike as Tinubu’s man to deliver Rivers vote.
The problem with that move is that Wike is higher than Fubara in usefulness to Tinubu’s ambition. Those who lured Fubara into APC could not withstand him and even the party officers that initially supported him, had to back down.
Fubara should have understood politics enough to stand alone with APM or align with opposition leaders in ADC. The possibility of a second state of emergency removal was low; Tinubu, Wike and APC would have had to wait out his tenure and he would have had the opportunity to at least contest for a second term and prove his usefulness to the opposition coalition with any votes got from Rivers State.
He could have learnt from Rotimi Amaechi who finding himself frozen out from the power circles of Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, decided to cast his lot fully with the opposition APC and with Buhari’s victory became a Minister. How he lost political influence in Rivers politics is down to his inability to match Wike force for force but nationally, his profile grew.
In choosing a career civil servant as his successor, Wike ensured that Fubara would neither have the political will nor the political understanding to outmanoeuvre him. Fubara found the will, but his ability to know where to align himself was lacking.
Kingsley Chinda though, will know exactly how to go about it in future.
What kind of judgement is this when the name of the Plaintiff is at variance with that of the person on record? How can staff of a supposedly defamed corporate entity claim personal damages when they purportedly acted in the "ordinary cause of duty"? That decision is outrageous
The least corrupt people in public service are politicians.
You see those directors, MD’s and secretaries of federal or state institutions, most of them are extremely corrupt and wicked.
They are like deities. They have spent over 25 years there and understands the system so well. They teach corrupt politicians how to steal successfully.
Alhaji Aliko Dangote appeared on Channels TV and insisted that Nigeria needs to urgently invest in power infrastructure to achieve true economic independence. In layman terms, he's wailing about lack of electricity.
You can be sure of one thing: both the Nigerian government and local investors won't do anything about this call.
Then eventually Aliko Dangote will find his way around building power grids that guarantee 24/7 electricity to consumers. Suddenly, you will start seeing all sorts of patriots from Ministry of Power, NLC, TUC, DISCOS, GENCOs, NEPA, PHCN, Nitel, Mtel, Econet, PTF, Celtel and even APC, ADC and PDP coming on air to educate you on the dangers of a monopolist like Dangote! ~ Ibrahiym A.
