We are not giving up, we just take a break for a while then start from the scratch. #EndTribalism
Let's start here. This is what our leaders have always used against us. Tribalism has been there greatest weapon to confuse the mass.
Since last week, people's blood has been all over the street of Benue. It's like normal thing now. Everyday Fulani will kill people and nobody is talking about it. Here they are trying to drag us into what does not concern us ignore the fire burning in our house. Dozens of souls!
BREAKING NEWS: Nigeria condemns Israel’s strike on Iran that has led to an escalation of hostilities between Iran and the State of Israel. Nigeria calls for the cessation of hostilities and urges both parties to exercise utmost restraint in the interest of regional and global peace
This has to stop now. If he is left to use this power now then expect more. Governors of State will now lead to impress the President other than the people of the State.
The unilateral decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove Governor Similaya Fubara of Rivers State from office is not only unconstitutional but also reckless.
It has plunged us back into a state of lawlessness, hugely undoing the progress we have made in these 26 years of democratic journey.
By disregarding the rule of law, the President has shown a dangerous willingness to trample on democracy.
The declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State is not just reckless—it is a clear attempt to return us to a state of nature and tighten its grip on power at all costs.
It is a degrading back door imposition of martial rule on a strategic part of the federation with all the implied negatives .
The political situation on the ground in Rivers does not justify such an extreme measure, and it is also a biased interpretation of section 305(1) of the 1999 constitution.
A state of emergency does not mean an elected Governor can be removed unilaterally. This decision does not align with democratic norms or good governance. Instead, it appears to be a predetermined action serving specific interests rather than the collective good of the people of Rivers State and Nigeria.
This action constitutes an unconstitutional overreach, setting a dangerous precedent that threatens democracy, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. If left unchecked, it could foster a culture of impunity.
Having already been grappling with non-adherence to electoral qualifications, rules, and massive rigging, adding arbitrary removal of elected officials will push us to a state of nature and anarchy.
I appeal to the National Assembly and all stakeholders not to allow this to stand, as it only deepens the culture of impunity and brigand already threatening our democracy.
A new Nigeria is POssible!

I was saddened to learn of President Tinubu’s unfortunate fall today. I wish him well. We achieve nothing by gloating about an accident that could well happen to any of us.

@kc_journalist I wish they can do this right and not loot this money or give it to family and friends that have no creative idea of how to generate wealth.
Past experience isn't giving me hope that it will be done right. 4yrs from now we will be hearing EFCC is probing NYSC funds.

At a time when the government should be reducing taxes to curb inflation, the government is instead introducing new taxes. And when did the office of the NSA become a revenue collecting centre?
high inflation rate. It is inconceivable to expect the suffering citizens of Nigeria to separately fund all activities of the government. Policies such as this not only impoverish the citizens but make the country’s economic environment less competitive.
The imposition of a Cybersecurity Levy on bank transactions is particularly sad given that the tax is on the trading capital of businesses and not on their profit hence will further erode whatever is left of their remaining capital, after the impact of the Naira devaluation and
This does not only amount to multiple taxation on banking transactions, which are already subject to various other taxes including stamp duties but negates the Government’s avowed commitment to reduce the number of taxes and streamline the tax system.
The introduction of yet another tax, in the form of Cybersecurity Levy, on Nigerians who are already suffering severe economic distress is further proof that the government is more interested in milking a dying economy instead of nurturing it to recovery and growth.
@VictorIsrael_ Of course it has to be people like you that bring politics into this.
Nigeria are celebrating this because we have a president that actually wants sport.
@stevenbawa01@NoNonsensezone You just need to speak to the government to get them a seaport, they might not have any more reason to develop your state anymore.
