Abagworo:

Who is this bush man? In Nigeria we have only Lagos, Port-Harcourt and Abuja.

PapaBrowne:

Yes you are right. But look at it this way. Since the states don't have to invest in power, shouldn't we see even more wonderful urban infrastructure like we see in Kigali given that more money would be available to invest since they aren't investing in expensive things like power. Why are the roads in PH still a mess. Why is there no area that PH and Rivers State can brag about. Why for crying out loud does Port Harcourt still look like it is Congo having spent almost $20Billion in 5 years.

abes: Comparing an autonomous country to a state that depends on federal government for security and power and many more is just a silly comparison.

The more reason why he has more resources available to transform the state. Not having any control over any of ur enumerated lists, means he does not have to pay for their services and overhead costs.

Abagworo:

I think a new thread on Rwanda is needed in this politics session. I've been motivated by the pictures. Our problem may not lie with leadership alone but bad followership.

leofab: Naivity is your problem, you can't accept a fact cos you believe in a theological notion, [average nigerian mentality, cos your father says so, means it will remain so forever], P.H has fell out of the list, in no distance time the likes of abakiliki, yenegoa, umuahia,oshogbo etal will be displacing P.H in the list....

Naijamericana: Port Harcourt sucks...I left in 1991 after my JSS 3 year to come to the US and returned in 2004 for a visit to a place that I couldn't recognize. The whole place is a mess. One cannot believe that natural gas and crude oil and are actually produced in Rivers State.

Symphony007: yenegoa? How many flyover's does yenegoa have? Name two major roads in yenegoa.

adconline: Let's do the numbers. Emotions and innuendos don't win argument, facts do.
What's the generating output built by Amechi? How much of that is consumed by Rivers state? Who built the power stations? At what cost? When was it completed?

How many kms of road has Amaechi built? What's the average cost of building a km?

How many health Centers and cost of each? How many schools?

Abagworo:

You are in the best position to acknowledge the positive changes. Visit Port-Harcourt again this year and you'll be surprised. The only bad thing in Port-Harcourt is the East-West Road. You'll notice the changes once you emerge from the Airport and meet the new roundabout, the new Stadium, The new games village, New flyover and well paved roads. The reason people are writing thrash here is because Amaechi has not taken out time to take pictures of his achievements and display on the net like some other Governors and 2ndly, he has not marked most of the completed road projects.

Spiff20: mr man, you seem to be avoiding my question about the enugu/ph comparison. Am tinking you are a coward.

Abagworo:

Give him a four year score card. I've not felt much of the impact from FG in Rivers State. The 18hours power I'm enjoying is courtesy Rivers government, the road I travel on whuch is PH-Owerri is work of Rivers government. East-west road and Aba express are the worst major roads in Rivers State. A journey from Port-Harcourt to Obigbo which is 5km takes up to 4 hours. Choba to Eleme is not a better story.

Symphony007: ameachi has been wastefull, he is wasting money on a monorail which has no focus, buying government jets and even demolishing some part of port harcourt without any plan for it, but compared with the goat called peter odili who ruled rivers state for 8 years and his most significant achievement, the airforce bridge collapsed last month, ameachi is better. At lease he has given rivers people a considerable run for their money. So it infuriates me when he is being persecuted while odili, a man whoes loot makes ibori's look like chicken change, is now a buddy of goodluck jonathan, with his wife on the supreme court, thanks to jonathan.

Bensonite:
Symphony007,
Did you really say Amaechi has been wasteful. I am happy you are been truthful atleast for the monorail, jet,etc. For your information, the airforce bridge collapsed exactly one year ago(23rd September, 2012) though rebuilt slowly but a million times better than what Odili left for us. For those of you showing us heliconia park, novotel etc as achievement of CRA are just economical with the truth. Amaechi has relatively done well in the Nigerian scale but you don't have to show us structures built by Spiff. Atleast some of us have been in PH for over 4 decades.
I think the OP made valid comparison using verifiable statistics and so why bring in Odili(useless governor into the equation). It is rather an indictment to the entire country as to how we judiciously we utilize resources to the benefit of the masses.

Well Said sir..


An indictment to an entire country is acceptable by me.. But singling out Amaechi who has performedmore in 6 years than Rivers State has seen in the last 10 years, is very unfair and stupid..


This thread should be taken down immediately..

Warri _Pikin: [size=15pt]You forgot to mention that Rwanda also fund its powerful armed forces, universities, more than 100 embassies with ambassadors around the world with just $1.3 billion dollars.Amaechi does not have to worry about any of that.

Other Niger delta governors have improved their states,built impressive roads and flyovers, built airports,building deep seaports some have embarked on uncommon transformation to completely overhaul their rural state within a record time.Even Non-Niger Delta states as Jigawa and Gombe have built impressive infrastructure. Lawanti International airport has the longest runway in Nigeria, and it was not built by an oil producing state!

So what has Amaechi really done in ONLY Port Harcourt all these years? The only project he had all these years, the Rivers metro light rail, has remained a pipe dream..
[/size]
[size=20pt]No doubt, AMECHI is a thief and a thug.
The worst is that he completely has no vision and try to cover it up by making trouble to distract us from his huge deficiencies.[/size]

OdionOdion: The road to my Village in Epena in Ahoda in impassable,Rukpoku-Eneka road is no go area,Nkpor- Rumuoulunini-Chinda(Rumume) road a death trap,Rumuokoro-Rumuoadalu road is very bad,Eleme juction up to Igbo-Ecthe Road is a semi river niger not motorable. The list is endless and we are increasing helpless and pleasantly shock/surprise that rather Gov Amaechi providing amenities for the rural dwellers of the state,he busy fighting Goodluck Jonathan and the Federal appointees/Ministers who have no hands in his. Failure and mismanagement of Rivers resources.Gov Amaechi is causing these crisis to cover up his corruption and divert attention from his looting of the State.Gov Amaechi with the active connivance of former Ghanian President-JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS built the biggest privately owened Refinery in GHANA. Gov Ameachi was nobody before becoming a member of RSHA in 1999 but Today GoV Amaechi is richer than known hard working business men like aliko Dangote, Ibeto,Otedola.God will save my Rivers state from this crazy of a man call Gov Amaechi
