I was expecting that by now Rivers State people will raise hell and brimstone over Fubara’s impeachment.
For where?
You’d think that by now men go mount for Rivers to challenge the unlawful suspension of Fubara.
As they pride themselves on having so many senior men and kulteests.
But I noticed that each time sh!t goes down there, ugly developments that should irk the average Rivers person, you don’t hear pim.
They sound tough, but once water pass garri you don’t see them demonstrate the supposed toughness.
The biggest outrage I’ve seen so far came from actress Ibinabo Fiberesima, who we saw crying under the sun, until her voice went hoarse.
Where are the men?
By now 7,000 men suppose don march from NTA-Choba road to Aso Rock.
Singing ‘boys na ewe iwe’ at the top of their voices.
But where they show their masculine power is during community conflicts.
Or clashes between cult groups.
Or drinking a carton of Seaman’s Aromatic Schnapps in one sitting.
They have never been able to stand up to Wike.
When thugs allegedly disrupted Labour Party voting process in 2023, hundreds of them ran away, screaming, “Dia coming o run, o boi ee run ee!”
Able-bodied youths.
The same Wike called Ijaw ‘minority of the minorities’ when there were fears last week that they might cause chaos over the impeachment proceedings.
He said they can’t do anything, say for Edo, Rivers dem no get mouth, only Bayelsa.
I was expecting dem Akpotutari, Ajubonyanagha, Preye, and Ebitimi to do small testing the microphone for Wike.
Did that happen?
Now the man who’s been keeping the state together to a reasonable extent has been unfairly suspended.
Rivers state people ice.
And they’re ready to act like everywhere maramma till Fubara 6 months suspension count finish.
Only two women in their fifties, Ibinabo and Hilda Dokubo, are carrying the matter on their heads.
Instead of Rivers youths to raise their voices, you’ll see now they’ll vex for me wey talk as e be.
All they know how to say is,
“Abobi I be PH boy, no cap careless”
“Na we get Omah Lay and Burna Boy”
“Na we get bole and roasted fish”
I pour una spit puaaah paupa puaaah!
