BAYELSA: Three successive P.D.P governors i.e. Alams, GEJ, Sylva were all disastrous. Haven't been to Bayelsa in a while so can't make informed comments about Dickson.

dayokanu:

I know I am just helping him to self diagnose his dementia

He is also intellectually inferior and epitomize what wrong with the Nigerian educational system where dolts like him speak a lot and assume they are making sense.

I think he should relocate to the celebrity section and debate about Tonto Dikehs new dress

seanet02: Tonto Dikeh lol

Demdem:

the Thief Alams is still the best governor so far in bayelsa. His people still worship him. the retardeen was a disaster when he was a governor.

solomonkane:

Demdem I will have to disagree with you there, his popularity is as a result of his being perceived as someone who brought development to his community; Amassoma by giving them NDU same as Ibori is popular in Oghara due to the link bridge he built and his sharing of money. Achievement wise, Alams was a big failure and the one who started the rot in Bayelsa under the current democratic dispensation.

Well, people like you see what they want to see - only Lagos. Look for the ekiti thread created some weeks ago and tell me that small state isn't doing more than the large states. Ekiti has done so well that one can not even compare her to ebonyi , nassarawa and zamfara, which were all created simultaneously. We can only compare with older bigger states and it still beats them.

Perhaps, the greatest of Ajimobi’s bridge-building penchant is the Mokola flyover bridge. The stretch of road that leads from Challenge, through Ring Road, to Dugbe and through University of Ibadan to Ojoo road, is very strategic to commerce Ibadan.

It is the road that leads in and out of the Northern and Eastern parts of the country. Indeed, the road, at a conservative estimate, must be one of the most plied roads for traffic of merchandise and people. Because of the implosion in population, the Mokola axis, where four footpaths meet (apology to Ola Rotimi’s The gods are not to blame), witnessed heavy human and vehicular traffic. Governments came and went and no one had the sense of direction to halt the drift, until Ajimobi. The last time such a bridge was constructed in Oyo State was under General David Medayese Jemibewon, over 30 years ago.

Awarded to an international contractor of reputation for excellence, CCECC, that bridge is on the verge of completion, with workers working day and night. At completion, it will provide a Lagos-like feel-good feeling to the people of Oyo State, aside its ancillary role of easing traffic.

faraday77: ACN IS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN PDP

For me I see the tinubu figure giving vision and direction to the party. Aside for curruption and Indiscipline which is inherent in every individual Nigerian,ACN is better.

Gbawe:

Absolutely correct. Corruption exist in every facet of Nigerian life. Who will not pay a bribe here if it gets things moving for them? When we do that we are showing acceptance of how things work in Nigeria. It should be the same with politics. We should accept corruption is endemic in our politics. If politically sophisticated and pragmatic, we will realise the obvious. For now, we must look for those still delivering and improving on what they met on ground amidst the corruption. In this respect, the ACN is far better than the PDP.

What is most despicable about the PDP is that it is a Party that eats all the money and leaves dilapidation everywhere. Many federal roads are in a wretched state of disrepair, security very poor despite the last budget accommodating the highest allocation by far to security ever !!! Nigeria is generally sinking because PDP is corrupt and inept at the federal level. A very, very bad combination. One without the other can still work i.e corruption without ineptitude. Both together are a disaster for Nigeria and this is what the PDP is. Corrupt, inept and host to the laziest thinkers undeserving of their federal and influential position like GEJ, David Mark, Adoke-Bello et al. Yet some still discuss the PDP as if it begins and ends in their Local government, State or region.

Others, when not localising the PDP, talk of "National spread" to give the deceitful impression of inclusiveness. The talk of "national spread" about the PDP is irksome because those who tout that notion don't see what is obvious. PDP is a congregation of the wealthiest and most influential Nigerians , many from the military or uniformed class, who simply came together to secure their continuous looting of Nigeria's wealth after it became uncool and outdated for the military to hold power in Nigeria or any other African nation for that matter. Why then will the Party not have so-called National spread when it hosts the biggest and most influential thieves everywhere?

Even look at the calibre of folks becoming ACN Governors. The truth is that anyone, any Nation, any State, any political Party or any organisation that keeps persevering with merit will get it right in the end no matter what others say. This is the key to how some African Countries have made and sustained progress i.e shunning mediocrity to seek proven performers and ensuring those performers are also replaced by proven performers. The best template because it raises the bar.
