Except for Ambode wey no cook well and Tinubu boot am out.

Emaprince:
Funny thing is both cities are beautiful and peaceful cities.

I lived in ibeno for a year cos I did my IT at Mobil terminal there.

Uyo is neat and peaceful.

PH also isn't jam-packed with population like Lagos. PH is a very peaceful city as well. My two siblings reside there with their respective famillies and enjoying their peaceful lives. I envied them when I traveled down there. My bro bought his house at federal housing estate, woji. Quiet and serene environment.

I no know how Blueray take observe this violence in his short visit.

PH is a peaceful place to live in.

Ibime:
PH violence is sporadic. When violence is breaking out, you will know. Most of the violence is political rather than economic so when politics is hot, you just avoid certain areas. That's where the inhabitants sense of peace comes from

Rivers State in general (outside PH) is not safe and quite unpredictable. The violence there is economically driven especially toward Ahoada, Omoku, Ndoni side on the road to Bayelsa. There was a time between 2015 and 2017 that that East-West road saw one or more kidnappings/killing of road users every night without fail until Don Wanni boys were chased out. There will still be violence and crime there no doubt as there is a power vacuum but not as before.

For the record, most Ijaw towns controlled by warlords are safe except during election time. Ateke keeps Okrika safe and Asari keeps Kalabari safe. But during elections, anything goes. If you know the seasons you'd be fine. Where there is violence is those towns with power vacuum, where you don't have a warlord under amnesty program such as the towns I mentioned above (Ahoada, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Omoku) and sometimes part of Etche, Eleme, and Ogoni. But Ateke has ability to bring Ogoni under heel when it gets too hot as he has many boys there and his mother is from there.

Abonnema itself is relatively safe (compared to militancy days) except at election time due to Asari presence. Abonnema Wharf like Nembe Waterside is in Town/Borokiri and separate from the real Abonnema and Nembe which are in Kalabari (Sombrero river) and Nembe Kingdoms respectively.

My take on Simi/Wike issue is Simi should evacuate Government House than cause an Ijaw-upland issue

You be gangster, you either follow the gangster rules or you come out, don't inflame Ijaw people into a fight with their Ikwerre and upland neighbours

Simi is from far away Opobo, if violence escalates, as usual, na we the Okrikas go spearhead for Ijaw and bear the brunt due to our proximity to the other tribes and our presence in PH. Simi should play by the rules of the game he signed up for and don't bring tribe into this.

Rivers has not seen tribal war since 1994. Ask those around then what happened over Ken Saro Wiwa issue. We had Okrika-Ogoni war, Okrika-Eleme war and Andoni-Opobo war. These guys will just start tribal war over politics. Okrika and Ikwerre have been avoiding going to war with each other despite several skirmishes over the years, we will not start now because Opobo gangster fell out with his Ikwerre godfather.

vanitybutiwanti:
nothing will happen, the people are behind him, unfortunately wike miscalculated, he'd have just left the guy ti do his job, and still gotten his respect regardless, how can wike single handedly pick all his appointees? I reckon that sim would have handled it better by speaking to respected Elders like Odili and possibly someone in the presidency, rumour has it that aonr of the reasons for he fight was sims insistence to revitalise the songhai farm project started by Amaechi, wike got angry and retorted that 'we didn't ask you to do agriculture ' because it was Amaechis project, I'm happy because everything that played out today would have been handled differently, it's a shame. That Edison guy from Ahoada is also gunning for the top seat after sims tenure, that's why he stood behisim to take down wike, I believe sim has promised to hand over to him since power is supposed to rotate to his senatorial district. Wike had everything Going for him, he just hosted the APC Rivers faction loyal to him, his arrogance brought him down, he was starting to feel like God, he should resign and go on exile, his enemies are out baying for blood.

Itsrm:


They agreed to all the sharing of appointments before the election. SIM knew exactly what he was getting into.

Maybe I understand politics differently but if someome handpicks me as governor, I either agree to do his bidding and abide by that agreement or I refuse the offer ab initio

Everything he his, everything he has become, he owes to Wike. He can't win this fight. If he manages to survive the impeachment, he will lose his re-election. The people that matter and deliver the votes are behind Wike. Infact, PDP may lose the state altogether. The earlier he listens to the voice of reason, the better for him.

Ibime:


People can be behind Simi all they want. The people were behind Peter Obi but look what Wike did, especially in Obio Akpor

People don't matter. What's best for people is that "other" people aren't armed and violence erupts. The violence is not just for the battle itself but the guns that will stay in the protagonists hands and be used for economic crimes years down the line

This "peace" we dey enjoy for Rivers State so is based on arrangements between gangsters. You say Edison from Ahoada is supporting Simi because Ahoada is next in line. Is Edison at peace with Felix Obuah (sponsor of Don Wanni), and Godfather of Omoku/Ahoada axis? From my calculations, Felix Obuah is on Wike side and is chairman of PDP in Rivers State so given that mostly PDP lawmakers impeached Edison, that means Edison is going against his Godfather (Obuah) and na Ahoada go suffer the consequence. You know how wicked Obuah is, check all the beheadings and violence in that axis from 2015 to 2017.

Then you have other warlords in the different constituencies. I don't see Ateke and Asari going against Wike, and if they do, Wike will arm other Okrika and Kalabari warlords to usurp them in those areas which will burn down those areas like in Odili/Abiye Sekibo days.

The peace we have is based on gangsters agreement. The gangsters should come to agreement, peoples choice don't matter, it's better for the people when the gangsters agree.

vanitybutiwanti:
Ateke and even Asari seems to be behind wike, Asari spoke today and he called out sim for being ungrateful and arrogant, I can almost predict the response of fellow machiavellians like Asari and other strong men in the region that has no beef with wike as most of them detest betrayals.

Felix is no longer Chairman and he was in a meeting with Fubara today for peace talks, fubara has disgraced and humiliated wike, there's no coming back from here, he couldn't even wait for a year to severe ties with wike, Its unfortunate. Everybody is minding their business, honestly I don't see a way out for wike except if Tinubu wades in but why should Tinubu wade in, what's In it for him?

vanitybutiwanti:
SIM doesn't care, he offered to resign, the Kings from bonny and opobo and some Elders and opposition leaders are cheering him on, I don't think Tinubu wants to be distracted by the drama unfolding In Rivers, there's little no tricks now in wikes playbook, I watched his video at the FEC meeting today, he looked distressed, I'm just not happy that the fight started sooner than expected especially when they are yet to complete their court cases. It's a Complex situation

PDPGuy:
Haaland was robbed!!

Ibime:


King of Bonny and Opobo are irrelevant. No be them dey call shots, they are civilians. They should be careful. King of Opobo na my relative sef, na Okrika man, but we go close mouth for that one

Ballzproblemm:
ibime so you be Rivers man

Your PH level is acidic if you can't tell that TamunoIbime is a Rivers name. You be immigrant.
