shineureyes: I hope the people of Rivers would be wiser come 2015 Don't be too sure about that, currently there is no opposition in Rivers State, they all have joined forces together to finish the resources, the house of assembly, the executive, the judiciary all are together in an unholy trinity and then married of to the opposition in the likes of princewill and that new media kid. |

tevinsolt: when will all Nigerians fight for their rights? look at France, they had the french revolution that launched their country into successful path, the colonies of America rebelled against Britain, Magna Carta in Britain, and also many revolutions across Europe.....one thing they all had in common was that the rulers were ripping them off so they took them out and established new laws, and those that messed up their head went for it.Bros you went too far, Try Ghana and the Jerry Rawlings revolution! |

I am just hoping that the news is false. If this is true, then we need to seek divine intervention seriously. If Amaechi too has joined them, then it is a disaster and a bad news for this democratic dispensation....Too bad...Too bad! Too sad to comprehend. Oh, God, save Nigeria. The military was not this bad! |

deletrue: brother, am surprised at this news and blaim that follows. Have worked in ph for about five years, in lagos for four and warri etc. The worst of these three places is warri. Why are people not saying the truth? Although, i have left ph but frequently visit there. Well if you say ph is bad in terms of road, then visit warri. You will not find suitable words to described the roads in warri. Deltans, am i not saying the truth? Pls say something here. Amiechi is about the third or forth best governor in nigeria. let us wait and hear from the governor. Thank you. Rivers state receives as much allocation as Delta state, at least we admit Amaechi has done something, so why is everyone talking about Rivers and not Delta? Anyone complaining about the roads in PHC should visit Warri |

Ricky_Ross: I am not supporting the extravagant lifestyle of our governors, but the way some fools are trash talking Rivers State is alarming. Can you all mention the names of your respective states so we can compare with Rivers State? Outside of Lagos State, which other Nigerian city is as developed as Port Harcourt? Someone said he spent 2 weeks in Rivers state and enjoyed only few hours of electricity? Which village is that? Thats what you get when you live in the ghetto... My own part of PHC i have standard road networks and we enjoy minimum 18 hours of power daily, sometimes the electricity lasts 3 days non stop...While I was going through ur write up, I honestly thought u were a teen coz u sounded one, until u said u've built a house.

Siga: ....are there anymore right leaders in Naija....even if u decide to be a good leader....u must dance with the devils we have there now to get there...once u get there....dem no go gree u rest...no so so demands....I tell u my guy....even ur own family go talk say u dey craze if u no give them appointments and contracts...lol...the country is totally upside down....no one gives a damn about the poor... (@the bolded) Bullshitt! Yes, I said it: Fuc**king Bullshit! Like playmode said, yall just twisted in the head is all. The same silly excuse you gave above is what Nigerians always give when they finally start receiving the long term rewards for their short term decisions. Then they get to acting like the outcome was not predictable from the onset. The truth is, an overwhelming majority of Nigerians are hardcore hypocrites. They claim they want change and development, but because they know that it will come at a cost of being disciplined, they choose leaders that mirror them both in morals and actions--- but still foolishly hope that he'll miraculously change upon assuming power. Even if he did attempt to bring change,Nigerians would still resist. To say Nigerians are myopic is to put it mildly--- they need a total social reorientation. Normal people dont act the way they do. No right thinking person keeps choosing poverty over success. What do you mean "are there any more right leaders in Nigeria" ?! Was Goodluck Jonathan your only choice in the last elections? Did you somehow miss the name Muhammad Buhari on the ballot? Buahri was definitely not the best Nigeria had to offer, but in that Election (like previous ones since 2003) hes been the best of a bad situation; even more glaringly so in the one that produced Goodluck Jonathan as President. But because Nigerians know that electing a man like Buhari would mean them embracing discipline, even if it meant an improvement in their standard of living, they made up every excuse--- from the reasonable to the absurd--- on why Buhari should never see Aso Rock. They immediately "remembered" that he was Muslim, an ex-Military Officer and a former Head of State. They also remembered he was dictatorial while he was Head of State (as if he had a choice when he was battling characters like Umaru Dikko), and that he ruled by decree (Umm... it was a Military takeover from a horribly corrupt Government people, read your history). Then came the absurd--- He'll introduce Sharia (which he didnt do as Head Of State), "He's not young We need Young People", "Hes also a crook, he must have stolen money too we just didnt catch him, plus it'll be hard to catch him because he doesn't want to spend it now until all eyes are away from him " (this about a man that has a farm house in Daura and lives on his pension). Anyway, wouldnt common sense dictate that he's had over 30years to flaunt $2.3Billion if he really had it like the rest of his corrupt colleagues? Oh, and what better time to start spending stupendous wealth than when the grave might come calling at anytime? If he hasnt spent a dime from the Billions he "stole", when his he going to start? Common Sense right? Dont think for once that Nigerians dont know what to do,they do, they just choose not to. There was a clear choice between Good and Bad, Competence and Incompetence, Corrigible versus Incorrigible..... Nigerians had the choice between two proven track records; That is how you gauge someone! What you've done in the past= What youre most likely to do in the future. But they decided to choose the one with a record of incompetence and corruption by using every excuse in the book to denounce the man with good intentions. Now that the effects of corruption have started biting them, and their Government ---week in, week out--- force-feeds them with increased doses of corruption, now they want to cry. Sorry, but Its too late to cry now. I could go on and on but I know its a waste of time. Most Nigerians have reached the land of no return; theres no turning back now. If the head is not good, the tail will be rotten. A leader is the people. Bottom-line, until that country is somehow blessed with an anti-corruption crusader, I'm sorry to say, the future looks pretty bleak. 2 Likes |

chrisxxx: The handiwork of detractors. Amaechi may buy a jet but not to the tone of the amount mentioned. Secondly it is not his private jet it is still an asset after his exit.Mr Man please google the price of a Bombardier jet of the specification of the kind Amaechi bought and stop ranting. |

I hate it when pple display false patriotism....I also live in PH and I can categorically tell you that PH is a hell-hole. Governance, like pregnancy, doesnt hide, and pple identify it wherever they go. Amaechi is a massive failure.....all the roads in met in bad conditions back in 2008, have gone to worse in 2012........... |

Abagworo: You must be innately wicked, and callous at heart. With the money Rivers earn, we ought be talking rural transformation and not urban white painting. Say the truth and the truth shall set you free.Tell amaechi to go to states like Edo with very little resources yet are making development real in rural areas. Beside, Adams Oshiomhole is not sleeping even though He also won second term. I know if someone like Adams get a hold of $50million, He sure knows what to do with it. Like someone already said, Amaechi has lost it completely, jets is no a priority for the people. He should listen to the people and not His ego! Otherwise, He would be Suntai in no distant future |

Ricky_Ross is either a liar or an idi.ot Greater Port-Harcourt he says. But 60% of land in that area has been sold off and it houses an Uncompleted stadium and a hospital that hasn't gotten anywhere.and he wants us to believe Gov. Rotimi Amaechi is working. He must be one of these shameless lazy Ikwerre people who do nothing but sell and resell the same pieces of land to unsuspecting customers. So because he "worked" in his first term, it's enough excuse to loaf around, plunder state resources and generally be gallivanting in private jets. What won't these simpleton Ikwerre dullards tell us? The state of roads in Port Harcourt is an eyesore. We residents are sufferering and are at the mercy of flooded roads this rainy season.yet instead of fixing the roads, they tell us they are working on Greater Port Harcourt that has nothing in it. Skymark, may the Almighty bless you for speaking the truth. Same to Rooneyboy. Abagworo is just a loud-mouthed motor-park mor.on with no idea of anything in general. |
Re: Governor Amaechi Buys $50 Million Bombardier Jet, Amid State’s Flood Disaster by Darius2000: 7:42pm On Oct 26, 2012 |
Nigerians arent yet ready to salvage themselves. When we are ready, we will deal with these idiots in power. I have long concluded that the degree to which the government of a nation can be debased and corrupt, depends on the attitudes of the masses. As long as we continue to walk in the paths of docility and mindless religiosity, we will continue to suffer and be treated like scums. Every human government requires the passive cooperation of the followers to exist. If the followers realise this delivering truth and are ready to refuse to cooperate with the government, it soon disintegrates. Lets quit blaming our rulers, and lets face the fact that our collective timidity and division have made it possible for our rulers to take us for a ride. A ruler's power is ultimately dependent on support from the people he would rule. His moral authority, economic resources, transport system, government bureaucracy, army, and police-to name but a few immediate sources of his power-rest finally upon the cooperation and assistance of other people. If there is general conformity, the ruler is powerful. But people do not always do what their rulers would like them to do. The factory manager recognizes this when he finds his workers leaving their jobs and machines, so that the production line ceases operation; or when he finds the workers persisting in doing something on the job which he has forbidden them to do. In many areas of social and political life comparable situations are commonplace. A man who has been a ruler and thought his power sure may discover that his subjects no longer believe he has any moral right to give them orders, that his laws are disobeyed, that the country's economy is paralyzed, that his soldiers and police are lax in carrying out repression or openly mutiny, and even that his bureaucracy no longer takes orders. When this happens, the man who has been ruler becomes simply another man, and his political power dissolves, just as the factory manager's power does when the workers no longer cooperate and obey. The equipment of his army may remain intact, his soldiers uninjured and very much alive, his cities unscathed, the factories and transport systems in full operational capacity, and the government buildings and offices unchanged. Yet because the human assistance which had created and supported his political power has been withdrawn, the former ruler finds that his political power has disintegrated. The ball is in our court.... 2 Likes |

At times when people take action I try to think to know why. Is probably with the crashes of aeroplane once in a while, with no one to hold responsible, with insistent bombings some of this high profile office holders could be targets, on that grounds that action may be justified. |

I am not from Rivers state, I am not Ikwerre man, I am Igbo from Imo State, so stop persecuting me. I have right to my opinion and you have yours. many of you ranting here didn't do nothing while Odili was busy looting and paying the media to rate him as the best governor in Nigeria. None of you said nothing, now someone is doing something and you guys are crying? I was here when Odili came to power and we all rejoiced and thought he was the messiah, but he wasted 8 years looting and stealing. He didn't do any road apart from the Eliozu road which collapsed last month. The state of road in PHC was terrible. Tell me how any right thinking man would expect Amaechi to fix all the roads under 5 years? If you are honest you will admit Amaechi has tried as far as road construction is concerned, the problem is many of the contracts were given to Rivers people who are not qualified for the job. Is Amaechi trying YES, is he perfect NO. Did Odili leave any legacy in Rivers NO, apart from the fact that he was caught with 100 million dollars or so in South Africa and he later claimed the fund was for purchase of an aircraft. Did Amaechi leave any legacy YES: He built the best primary and secondary schools in Nigeria. These schools are scattered all over the state for all to see. These schools are world class, more equipped than our government universities, maybe that is the part that is paining many of you? But these schools are on google for those too far away from Rivers. Amaechi has done very well in healthcare delivery, I don't know which governor that have done better than Amaechi in that area. If Amaechi can deliver on his promise of uninterrupted electricity come December then I will comfortably rate him among the top 3 best governors in Nigeria. |
