Regardless of the fact that I dislike Wike's brand of politics, I agree with your submission. Governor Fubara goofed big time, he should have played along, and once his second tenure/political structure is secured, he can then go head-to-head with Wike. Good luck to him as the Federals come to town.

Freshtruth:
You were nobody u were pick from the gutters made a governor against, high profile men like tonye cole and magnus Abe u turn around to fight ur helper not even up to a year even if u are in the right part u form mumu till after ur ist tenure, okowa form mumu for ibori after his ist tenure and bulld is own team. Lagos governor is Still forming mumu for Tinubu up to this day. To help people nowadays dey fear me i no blame okorocha for choosing his family relatives rather than outsider

Dude, your analogy is quite faulty. Prof. Nnenna Oti is not the Abia State Resident Electoral Commissioner; she simply worked as the Returning Officer during the gubernatorial election.

yoruboid:
Just imagine Tinubu attending the INEC chairman’s daughter’s wedding…

This is exactly what Otti has done and see his Escalade here but you’re complaining about Tinubu’s Cadillac

I’ve never seen such a hypocritical people and Omoluabis should never let these shameless people gaslight them

They can’t take a quarter of what they give out

Thanks a lot for keeping the record straight. If misinformation is allowed to go unchallenged, the uninformed might accept propaganda as facts. By the way, Ontario is just one of the provinces supplying electricity to some states in the United States.

Compared to Ontario, British Columbia is unwilling to toe Doug Ford’s approach because depending on the season/demands, the province exports/import electricity from California, Washington, and Oregon states. In general, British Columbia exports electricity when there is a surplus locally/higher demand from the US – (increased income), and imports in lieu of local generation when it is cheaper to do so. So, when it comes to cross-border electricity, it is all about business calculations.

DemonSlayer:


I don't Trump nor his policies, but this comment is very misleading.

1. A single click will not throw the entire U.S. into darkness—this is an extreme exaggeration. While some states, such as New York, Michigan, and Minnesota, import electricity from Ontario, the OP mentions only 3 states. The U.S. has 50 states with a highly diversified power grid. The U.S. grid integrates multiple energy sources (nuclear, coal, natural gas, hydro, and renewables) before distributing power to consumers, meaning Canadian electricity s for only a small fraction of total supply. A surcharge on Canadian electricity might increase costs, but it would not cause entire states to go dark, not to talk of the entire country as you suggest.

2. Canada is not the biggest player in the region, the OP said Canada is more dependent on American exports than the other way round. The US economy is about $25 trillion while Canada's is at around $2 trillion, so the US economy is roughly 10 to 12 times larger. Most of Canada's exports, about 70-75%, goes to the US, meaning Canada relies a lot on American buyers, but the US, with its many trading partners, doesn't depend on Canada as much and has several other trading partners to turn to, that means Canada will suffer more in a trade war with the US, just as the OP has rightly stated. What Canada might do is to woo other partners, and be less dependent on the US, which will be more expensive logistically speaking. Trading with your partner across the border is smarter and cheaper than trading with someone across the ocean, you might lose competitive advantage when you include shipping costs and other logistics.

All said, like I've said before, and will reiterate, Trump's foreign policy will ultimately have a significant negative impact on the American economy.

If not for Trump showing up with his antics, the Prime Minister position was almost guaranteed for Poilievre. Well, the forthcoming federal election campaign will be interesting; an intellectual vs. an arrogant rabble-ro vs. a flip-flopping Jagmeet Singh .

By the way, a visit to the Emergency Care department will indicate that the much vaunted Canadian healthcare system is tottering badly. For anybody who has been unlucky to experience an extended wait time at any of our hospitals, the need for a mix of public/private health care system would have been glaring.

Flamemignon1:

Check the polls now, Carney is ing him on the polls because of how much of a fanboy Poilivre is to Trump, we Canadians don't want to be part of the shithole called America especially with our good healthcare and America's terrible healthcare

Well-said...

epainos:
It is not yet over if Zelensky is smart
Well, he has fought a good fight, but we must learn from this issue. Get your money, if not, you will be talked down even in your family meetings. Get your money. And if you are temporarily getting help, avoid anything called argument or confrontation with sources you are getting help from. As soon as you see 'sh.ts coming your way, quickly change direction.

Zelensky needs to act fast and smart. It is not yet over.

Barrister, you are funny . First, you asserted that the APP judgement was delivered by a High Court, a blatant lie, disproved by the link provided by Fergie. It is quite interesting that rather than acknowledge the fact that your initial submission was wrong, you resorted to muddling issues with "struck out" vs. "dismissed" talk.

BreconHills:


I have read the ruling in the APP and the latest PDP case. In the APP case the case was "struck out" meaning the court treated it as if it had never been filed. In the PDP judgement it was "dismissed" dismissed is not a technical term. It means the prayers of the apellants were dismissed. If the prayers of the apellant in this case the PDP were dismissed then the situation returns to status quo ante. Which is that the APC LG councillors are the only validly elected LG representatives.

Both the PDP and the LP have had dubious legal performance by their legal teams. In the 2023 election they showed poor grasp of facts and law and poor coordination in their strategies.

APC maybe by reason of its opposition years has a battle hardened and highly experienced team. Not surprising when Messrs Osinbajo and Fashola are coordinating affairs.

As a lawyer with at least 34 years of post call experience, I make bold to say that once again APC has shown up the ineptitude of the PDP legal team. If even a law school student does not know there difference between " struck out" and "dismissed" they have no right wearing a wig and collar.

My final word.

With all these lamentations here and there, the press9jaTV guy is just ridiculing himself here.

Prince111111:
Honestly you said my complete mind. A two-faced person is dangerous to the society. And that is why Nigeria has been retrogressing.

Eriokanmi,
Accepted that a trade war is unhealthy for both countries, but you are really overestimating the economic capacity of Canada. If you live here, you will weep for the country called Canada. A combination of incompetency and policy gerrymandering in the last few years have done an irreparable damage to the economy. Circa 2010/2012, the CAD was at par with the USD. In fact, if you step into some shops, the two currencies are interchangeable for making purchases. However, today, the CAD is equivalent to 0.69 USD.

Besides the fact that most of the multinationals, still operating profitably in the country are foreign-owned, what Canada is manufacturing/exporting to the rest of the world now is grossly insufficient. In my opinion, before picking up a trade fight with the US, Canada should first dismantle trade barriers between the provinces. This decades old internal trade barrier is so bad that rather than finding a way to resolve it, each provincial government always prefers the easy way out; increase trade with the neighboring states in the US. An indefinite piggybacking on the Big Brother, the US, at the expense of developing robust interprovincial infrastructures and trading framework has consequences.

Now that the chicken has finally come to roost with Trump as POTUS, maybe it is time the federal government/provincial leaders revisit the moribund Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), liberalizing trade internally, removing stupid exemptions/restrictions and making the country very attractive for Canadian/foreign investors, regardless of the tariff situation.

By the way, the relationship between Canada and China/India is currently at an all-time low. There is no love lost between JT and the leaders of the aforementioned countries. In fact, given the opportunity, Xi Jinpin and Narendra Modi will tighten the trading screw, just to teach JT a hefty lesson .

Overall, since Canada’s exports to the US (75%) are more than double the US export to Canada, and the discordant tunes coming from some of the provincial leaders, dialogue is the way out here. The current tit-to-tat approach, adopted by JT is unsustainable. On the long-term, it will ultimately destroy many large/small-scale businesses in Canada.

Eriokanmi:
Mexico isn't Canada. Mexico is like some african nations wallowing in poverty. They don't have a choice but dance to Trump's tunes..Trump has met his match. Canada is no small country and those who have been there would concur. You know what? Canada too goes to China like the usa does so, it's not as if they're benefiting substantially from the usa. Trump will be disgraced in the end. Imagine south africa telling Trump to mind his business. I read it here this evening. I see more jabs coming from other nations to him

He should just focus on making America great again, according to his slogan . Good luck to him

Besides his over-pandering to the left on some issues, Justin really tried for Canadians. Although he and his team handled the COVID-19 crisis quite well, the slow economic recovery/inflation has become an albatross. Dude is really a nice guy, and he single-handedly saved the Liberal Party from going into extinction in 2013. I wish him the best, and hope that Pierre Poilievre will step-up, if he becomes the PM after the next election.

AcrossTheEarth:
He is still well-loved by many of us real Canadians. You and your father have left an honorable legacy, good Sir. Thank you for all your efforts. Merci beaucoup.

With all due respect, some of your posts are sometimes so puerile, and senseless.

You are not alone...the nonsense happening in Enugu in the name of revenue generation is mind-boggling. I abandoned some of my undertakings in Enugu for now, Gov Mbah will not be there forever.

NwaliE01:
ENUGU STATE has been frustrating my business start-up. I have SPENT over N9m this few days on just clearing land huddle with the local community at ABAKPA NIKE. Enugu is one of the WORST places for start-ups.
I didn't forsee this, otherwise nothing in this WORLD would have made to buy the piece of land. Should I even talk about other government frustrating enterprises?
Government just proposed increasing CofO charges from current N2000 to N4000 per sqm.
This is the ease of doing biz they are talking about.
W!CKED people in government.

The guy you quoted is such a huge joke that I kept shaking my head while reading his drivels.

huptin:


The bile in your blood is way too high for a normal human being.

I wish you had been properly brought up to know that throwing insults at someone you don't know betrays a high level of stupidity but since it's too late to correct that : hypertension is the greatest killer of fools with too much bile in their blood, make sure you check your BP today!

You are so uninformed

Gentlevip:
If you understand the region, this is a big trouble to Israel.

Israel state will come to hate Netanyahu. Just wait for the next weeks.

I won't say much. But keep watching

Who told you that Tesla was a Chinese idea? Nope, the Tesla idea was originally conceived by two American car enthusiasts (Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning).

malali:


A lot of inventions in the modern day are also the same, Microsoft was said to be purchased from some Indian software programmers then Bill gates brought in sponsors and popularized it after buying it off them and making them sign NDA's
Same thing with TESLA, it was the Chinese's idea, bought off them and popularized by Elon Musk.

It's really shocking that a full professor in a Nigerian university has an almost zero research output

emmahoney:


Ogas at the top are likely involved. Her research output and other important metrics for becoming a full professor are too low. Her name was not found in the Scopus database, although it is on Researchgate. Her profile is still low!! People in academia will understand my point very well.

Now, they made her acting VC!!

My comment has nothing to do with bitterness. After all, I don't know her neither does she know me. But the truth must be told. She is not a good researcher.

Lol, I wonder who the dude thinks he is fooling with his rants.

1x2x3:


The attached photo shows who you truly are so stop masquerading and don't act like you are not a staunch tribalist.

A very silly comment!

The guy you quoted is a confirmed clown, who is always in a hurry to display his bias against Israel.

Br4life:
300 and u called it warning,ok ok we have heard now go and take your drugs

The original poster is either uninformed or deliberately silly. A comparison of the economy of both countries will confirm that whereas Iran has almost 10 times the population of Israel, it lacks the wherewithal to prosecute a war of serious magnitude. Iran is a country blessed with abundant natural resources and smart people, but the country is almost ruined by the intermingling of religion with politics.

https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/israel/iran

Jogs1900:

From their defense budget, you should know that isreal is stronger militarily.

It is obvious from your post that you are quite uninformed about the economy of both countries. For your information, Iran's GDP per capita is not even up to 10% of the value for Israel. Check other indicators via the link below, and you will realize that your previous submission is pure bullshit.

professor100:
You are the one without facts here. Go, and research, and come back with data. Then I can engage you. Yes, war is about technology now, why are USA, UK, and Saudi coming with their technology to assist them from been cleared out flat. For Iran to attack from their country shows that they are not in the same level with them.

Iran is only afraid of what UK and US will say. But they have come out to issue another threat, that next one will be worse than that. What can be worse than 300 missiles my brother. Let's not fool ourselves.

Iran is way richer than them.. Iran have used money to acquire more sophisticated weapons than ever. Israel have nothing in comparison with Iran.

Read my initial comment again. But I'm never in of war

What a drivel!

AllenSpencer:



Because Iran abides by rules. Not the dumb IDF that attacks women and children, and still end up getting fried in Northern Israel were they have their match.

Civilian infrastructures were not targeted and Israel should be thanking Iran for that.

Mazi Ugwoke, you are actually doing a disservice to the former governor with the way you are responding to people here. Whereas I agree that the former governor is an easy-going gentleman, I am of the firm opinion that he underperformed as a governor .

Honestly, can you compare Ugwuanyi’s eight year tenure with that of his peers in Ebonyi State or Anambra State? Indeed, the last federal election in Enugu State was a referendum on Governor Ugwuanyi tenure, and it was a humiliating verdict. His performance as a governor was so bad, and unparalleled in the history of Enugu State, that even his own senatorial zone rejected him! So, I really don’t understand what you are defending.

Ugwuoke347:



You are foolish!

Get out of here, and go play in the sand!

Good choice, Fergie001 is quite objective and forthright despite his political leaning.

So true, armed militancy will never serve as a solution to political problems.

SoNature:
I heard that Israelis in the United States are flying back to Israel to help finish off Gaza while the US is supplying aids to Israel.

What Hamas is doing in Palestine can be likened to what some separatists are doing in the South East. You get into a fight you cannot win and innocent people will bear the brunt. In all this, the people are just helpless!

No mind the guy, he fails to understand that terrorism is quite different from conventional warfare. The United States with arguably one of the best military intelligence and resources was still caught napping by the 9/11 events. My comment does not in any way excuse the poor Israeli intelligence and security lapses that made this level of attack possible.

PoliticalChinex:


Mumu Hamas arse-licker. U will watch as Isreal finish them off. No single Hamas member that participated in the attack will survive. Isreal will hunt and kill all of them including the ones that run out of the country. Mumu go and read the history of Isreal millitary force ewu gambia

There is nothing really surprising here per se, this is a disaster in the making for the last nine months. The decision of some of the Israeli army reservists ( of an Elite Intelligent Unit inclusive) to abandon their duty post and the anti-government protest contributed to this mess. Of course, while it is okay for people to fight the Netanyahu government's bid to make a sweeping judiciary overhaul, it should not be at the expense of the national security. The image of the military openly revolting against the government has been the right opening for detractors.

The situation was so bad that a top officer in the Israeli Defence Ministry warned about the damage the unprecedented activism in the history of the nation was causing. Well, now that the chickens have come home to roost, the Israelis would need a serious introspection. In fact, the country will never be the same again. With the number of fatalities thus far, I wonder what some of the protest leaders would be thinking at the moment.

vivaciousvivi:

I am honestly still in shock. They purportedly have one of the most sophisticated and expensive underground Intel network in the world. How the attacks failed to reach their Intel units is still baffling. The Islreali defense minister has a case to answer as well imo. Baffling!

For real? With this type of mindset, Nigeria is a lost cause. It's shocking that some of my compatriots seem not to comprehend the dire implications of disclosures from this BAT certificate saga.

garfield1:


He will write GCE and present it

The retort "May they all labour in vain," should also apply to those folks swearing affidavits up and down

duro4chang:
That will be the handiwork of headless mob. May they all labour in vain.You can imagine what they are doing to our judges in Nigeria if they can do a thing like this to a judge in far away US.

Check the header on the 2nd page of the affidavit document; it shows the date the document was filed.

stocktaker:
. I can't find any date on the affidavit

I initially believed the story that BAT worked as an ant in Mobil Nigeria, but his purported Business and istration certificate circulating now makes that claim questionable.

ganisucks:

Which Mobil? Did you see him there? That one na washee.

It's obvious that "Bola Tinubu" used documents belonging to another individual to secure ission in the US. Thereafter, he had no option but to stick to the 'borrowed" name.

ikechiji:
The itted Chicago State University and Community college certificates are consistent with the rumours that "Bola Tinubu" was the name of Tinubu's adoptive mum's daughter who died. "Bola Tinubu" then adopted her name and went to the US with her student visa. That is why you have never seen Bola Tinubu's primary school, secondary school or even WAEC certificates. That is why he did not list his primary or secondary school on his 2023 INEC forms (the primary/secondary schools he listed in the 1999 forms were shown to be fake). That is why we don't know his primary or secondary school classmates. His ers should show us a single witness that knew "Bola Tinubu" in primary or secondary school.
