emmatok:

Just read your wiki leaks.
Am surprised at Edwin Clarke action.
Shows this SS-SE marging is a fiction.
I don't see the SS ever going with BIAFR.
And what made you think that there would be a south south when nigeria disintegrates. How can that be,when edwin clark had already made it clear that some people are more south south than the others,as we saw in the wikileak. Ndiigbo are only interested in south south because there is a huge chunk of igboland trapped in the entity called south south.

vislabraye: Odili's corruption was second to none. All these one he's saying is just because he's not in jail. He chopped Rivers State clean.
Unlike what most people are saying, its not because he's an igbo man.
BTW most Ikwere people don't claim to be Igbo. They only choose to be Igbo on special occasions and choose not to be when there's a stigma attached to it.
This is how you guys fail exams. Did you go through the wikileaks at all? What was the reason edwin clark gave for being against odili's candidacy? (A) becos odili was corrupt. (b) becos odili is an igbo man.

Here we go again with the daily "Everyone is against Igbo" rubbish

OBJ simply wanted people he could control and Yar Adua and Jonathan fits the bill the most.

If they dropped Odili cos he was Ibo was Ibori, Attah and Donald Duke who had more clout than Jonathan also Ibos?

Mind you Jonathans mind was on contesting for his own Governorship mandate and he would have had 8yrs in front of him while Ibori, Duke etc had completed 8yrs matured in governance and ready to move to the next level in the country

OBJ didnt disqualify Odili for being Ibo OBJ knew he couldnt control Odili once he got into power. Same reason why OBJ favoured Yar Adua over Atiku

Would he be better of? after all he is corrupt like other politicians in the country. Had it been that GEJ wasn't elected we wouldn't have known that he is clueless. Let every tested politician in Nigeria go and die, because all of them are the same thing.What did he achieve in River state after 8 years in office? the office of presidency in Nigeria is a necessity not an important one, somebody have to be there , no matter how intelligent and capable he/she might be, that is why we have the ceremonial occupant of the position now. Peter Odili should go and apologize to the Rivers state people. He and GEJ are the same thing. Nigeria is a sorry country, in a life support machine.

One thing I've come to understand is that amongst the Governors of 1999 to 2007, Odili was one of the best performing. Probably only Donald Duke outclassed him. Contrary to what the media has portrayed of him, his infrastructural strides were visionary. He constructed several new link roads in Port-Harcourt incuding the now famous Odili road that links LNG to slaughter, The Slaughter to Woji road with 3 bridges, the Airforce to Rukpokwu bypass amongst others. He is the genesis of this natural gas based electricity generation which was later adopted by the Obasanjo administration and is currently our major plans for electricity generation. So it is not all evil about him. His major evil was the use of militants for politics.

I beg to disagree with you.Those projects you listed are nothing compared to the 8 years spent and Rivers state money at his disposal.The air force road had to be severely patched few months after construction and completely re-constructed after a short while.Most of the projects were awarded to companies he floated using various fronts especially his best man Arumeni Ikhide(eg Rockson engineering).Even Arik(coined from ARumeni IKide) Air jets were bought with government money.Rivers leaders who dined with Odili will confirm PH turned into a junk yard under during his tenure.He knew how to use the press well.
He betrayed his friends and conspired to kill his political benefactor just to curry favour from Obj.

Those guys you mentioned were never in the forefront of that race. The vp spot was to be used to pacify the niger deltans,it only made sense that it went to a 'real' niger deltan as made clear by the most powerful tribal leader in that region. Nobody controls anybody with power,OBJ is wise enough to know that. The problem between Atiku and Obj has nothing to do with "control",it has more to do with obj's vendetta against Atiku,for making him work too hard for 2003 pdp presidential ticket.

Odili na very big thief. In this memoir, he is jst being economical with the truth. He never made mention of how he was secretly lobbying members of the national assembly then to kill Obasanjo's third term bid. It was pay back time to 0dili by OBJ and his political "gang"

pazienza: The guy wanted to hide under the cloak of 'rivers man' to take the slot of 'niger deltans', obviously nigerians were not deceived. A lesson for the ikwerre,ogba and ekpeye people. When the chips are down,they would be properly identified by other nigerians.
Re: Odili: How Jonathan Displaced Me As Yar’adua’s Running Mate by Truckpusher(m): 11:57am On Dec 24, 2012
CLAP FOR YOUR SELF....YOU COULD AS WELL SAY HE CONSTRUCTED POTHOLES ALL OVER PORT HARCOURT AS FOR THE GAS TURBINE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT , HAVE YOU TAKEN YOUR TIME TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH WAS SPENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION? YET RIVERS STATE CAN'T EVEN BOAST OF 12HOURS POWER SUPPLY BEFORE AND AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE....ALL THE PROJECTS CARRIED OUT BY ODILI WAS ONLY USED AS A FRONT TO SIPHONE MONEY FROM THE STATE TREASURY TO RUN FOR HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN HENCE INFERIOR MATERIALS AND SUB STANDARD PROJECTS THAT COULDN'T STAND THE TEST OF TIME WAS PAINTED AS A MEGA PROJECT WITH BILLIONS OF NAIRA STOLEN BUT GOD FAILED HIM.....OYA CLAP FOR YOURSELF AGAIN BECAUSE THE LEGACY HE LEFT BEHIND IS STILL USED BY THE PRESENT GOVT. AND THE POOR PEOPLE OF RIVERS STATE ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT A BLEAK FUTURE......and finally clap for yourself for making a blind argument for a well known thief like odili who made sure that the PDP never had a strong or credible opposition in Rivers state because he bought everybody over and the ones that refused to be bought sealed their testimony with their own blood ....he lavished rivers people money on people just to buy favour to an extent that he was nicknamed GOVERNOR DONATUS and yet people like you still come here to blow his trumpets.

Why is it dat anybody not yoruba or hausa is an Igboman...SMH
Abagworo: Odili's problem is being an Igboman. I don't know his personal stand on his ethnicity but I doubt if the other South-south people would likely have allowed an Igbo to take the place of South-south "through the backdoor" when Nigerians are brainwashed with tribalism.

If you observe my post, I wrote "visionary projects" and not quality projects. Again I compared him with the Governors of 1999 to 2007. Anybody living in Port Harcourt should try and imagine if those 3 link roads were not constructed( even in poor quality) what would have become of PH by now. We also have to agree that even the gas turbine with all its flaws was visionary

On a lighter note, there are two similarities between Peter Odili and GEJ
1. Both of them love wearing hats
2. Both of them are from the south-south/ Niger-delta.

So, me i'm not seeing the big deal in who emerged as Yaradua's running mate. The difference should be in character. So Peter, sorry Sir

You mean Donald Duke and Ibori were not in the fore front of the race? Obviously you were too young in 2007 or Ibori and Duke were not real Niger Delta? An Urhobo man not real Niger Delta?

If ribadu practically played a role in dislodging odili for yardadua,why did yardua humiliate him so badly

Could this be the reason why gej pardoned ribadu which made him to come back from exile

vislabraye:

You shouldn't even bother educating him. First thing he has in his mind is " because he's igbo".

It wasn't me that labelled him an igboman,it was his fellow niger deltan/south south man by the name edwin clark that did. Clark even went ahead to campaign against odili's candidacy,not becos he was corrupt,but becos he was according to clark,an igboman. The ijaws control MEND,clark was an ijaw leader,if the aim of picking a niger deltan as a vp was to pacify the niger deltans,it only makes sense that clark's wish be granted.

To the best of my knowledge,odili has always been a perfect niger deltan,always trying hard to fit in,whats not with the ijaw fedora hat and attire he always go around on. Too bad that at the end,he couldn't run away from the igbo shadow,he so much tried to stay away from,so sad.
