"I am in a confused state because I think something has started today, something has begun today which is going to go much further than most of us here imagine." -Chief Anthony Enahoro, Action Group Member, in parliamentary debate over the motion to declare a State of Emergency in the Western Region, 29 May 1962 (quoted in Balewa, 1964: 128) https://leaders.ng/2024/11/11/rivers-state-avoiding-a-repeat-of-the-calamity-of-the-1960s-ssrc-4rc/ 9 Likes 1 Share

Tinubu shiuld call his mad dog Wike to order. The judiciary should also be cautioned on the kind of frivoulous judgements they dish out before they throw the country into turmoil. Their unholy romance with the politicians is a recipe to chaos. 38 Likes 3 Shares |

Most times the beginning is always different from how it ends .. and of course by the time it ends .. the beginning must have been forgotten… going with different narratives and point of view . Those who are alive .. might be incapacitated to tell their tale . . Actors forgotten .. But in all . Is better to have a beginning.. and bad blood washed . .. for a better new beginning. Tinubu and his Yoruba government must be allowed to carry on their foolishness in rivers state . No one sees tomorrow.. not even those juju men and sham beings . They only good at guess .. Whatever .. no one know that tide that leads to fortune or wreck He who dares . .. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

I These words spoken by Chief Anthony Enahoro proved to be very prophetic given the succeeding events: the declaration of State of Emergency in Western Nigeria, the imprisonment of Chief Awolowo on the charge of treasonable felony, the unpopular declaration of Akintola as the winner of the massively rigged October 1965 Western House of Assembly elections, and the subsequent descent into unbridled violence (Operation Wetie) across the Western Region. This led to the collapse of governance in the Western Region, with Chief Akintola and Alhaji Adegbenro claiming the position of Premier of the Western Region. The widespread violence continued unabated until the January 15, 1966, Military Coup, which brought it to a stop. I always tell people that the 1966 January coup saved Yorubaland but they never understand. The question is, why are Yoruba incapable of living in peace with one another? Before the British came, they were killing one another for over 100 years. When the British left and gave them a region, they went again for one another's jugular. Imagine what an Oduduwa country would be like. This is why the mention of balkanization of Nigeria is a nightmare to them. A tribe shouldn't hate one another so much. Thank God for Nigeria, the bottled up hatred at least is now channelled towards the Igbo. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Macphenson:It's Tinubu's drumbeat that wike is dancing to. Tinubu had lost the grip of the north already, can't you see? They need rivers and edo at all cost, to shore up their winning plans ahead of 2027 but they've failed to realise that, these states are mad states. They can elect a governor at the state level but elect another leader at the federal level. What happened last year in rivers was wike's plan to elect tinubu. We saw all the heavily manipulated result sheets. Obi later won in places earlier declared for Tinubu cos they failed to perfect their rigging plans on the server in those places. Let them continue to set bad precedents. They'd not be in power forever. Where's buhari today? My concern is on the shuffering masses. Na by force to take rivers? 10 Likes |

It's quite astonishing that a state like Rivers State, which plays a significant role in contributing to Nigeria's GDP, has yet to implement the ₦70,000 minimum wage. It's time for state governments to be held accountable for their responsibilities. 4 Likes |

How come no one is asking Fubara to obey court judgement for the betterment of his state. Why are we shouting on the executive and telling executive to interfere with judiciary? Only us will complain that the executive is interfering with the judiciary, still only us want the executive to interfere with judiciary What exactly do we want. What Clark should be talking about is telling the judiciary to hasten up with their final judgement and also let the legislative do their job. We can not alway be shouting executive when we are ment to have 3 independent arm of government My question is, do you want federal government to obey the court order or not? Or should the executive select which order to obey or not. Please pick one and stay on it. Think. 8 Likes |

Fubara started his fight too soon, he should have gained in-roads to majority of assembly first, with that, no Jupiter would have tried to unseat him, combination of federal, judiciary and their allies, would have been labouring in vein. 1 Like |
