Bayelsa, an oil rich state and home to the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria. The smallest state in the country, very riverine, mostly linear settlement with valleys and swamps on both sides.

tr3y: I'm serving in Bayelsa and I will tell you that non-oil producing southwest states is better off than this underdeveloped village called Bayelsa.

Pls where are u from in the SW?Don't mention Ekiti or Osun o,because I'll so attack you eh...I know Bayelsa has still not acheived up to its potential,but it is better than most SW states apart from Lagos & maybe Ibadan.

berem: scared off? Haven't you noticed I am a fearless personality on nairaland? I fear no one nwoke m,not even the owner of this forum. You can carry your mmaja and your empty chest beating somewhere else. I am not interested.

Nightmare my yansh!!

hmmmmmm.. Dat same yansh??

jakiedudu: Why are you always so bitter about our dear Goodluck Jonathan? He's the best President Nigeria ever had!

I comment my reserve on your case.

chinolization: .

this city is wack I swear

BuddahMonk: Ibadam is an ancient city just like Alexandria in Egypt, ibadam is home to Nigeria premier and first university, Ibadam have never witness any human disaster like war, ibadam have never seen any natural disaster like earthquake, ibadam have been the capital of old western region from the when Pope was still an alterboy.

In 2099 Ibadam will not be compared with Alexandria because ibadam have grown to be the biggest and largest slum not just in Africa but the whole world, Ibadam is home to clusters of brownies, ibadam poverty definition is different from the IMF definition, World Bank is yet to reach ibadam to see that some nigerian are living below $1 per day is a glorifying the country.
Ibadam is the only place where tenants are ask if they want a house with toilet or the one without, ibadam has the highest number of houses built with red muds that is why erosion is disturbing us in the East.

If the Waste should reduced the rate at which they use red muds in their buildings, believe me the erosion menace in the East will be moderate or a thing of the past.

LWKMD, at least na Ibadam u dey refer to...

Bad belle peeps full this thread. chino good job showcasing bayelsa, while you haters criticize bayelsa and any other city in the Niger delta, know that all underdevelopment in the delta is a direct result of bad policies of the lopsided entity called Nigeria that has robbed the states in the Niger delta of its commonwealth via controlling its resources, to pay/benefit places like lagos, Abuja, and all the other shanties/towns who happened to have had a dictator/ junta leader incharge of sharing oil wealth from the delta to other parasites.
Did i hear some one compare bayelsa to Houston/Texas, go ask Houston/Texas if it controls its oil and gas resources or it relies on Washington DC to share the resources as in lopsided Nigeria.

Whether Lopsided Nigeria likes it or not the goose that bear the golden egg that feeds Nigeria will rise, No amount of BH or hate from all the ingrates that tries to bite the finger that feeds them shall stop it.

Bayelsa on the rise! Niger delta on the move! haters to the grave!.

What I do know is that you don't view a Masquerade from one place,op should go into other parts of yenagoa,even other parts of the state b4 justifying his opinion.

Oga gbawa door...we've seen beta pictures...

What is the essence of this thread? Only to show us physical development within the state capital? I bet you dnt wanna go to other rural areas to snap pix... It's like saying the whole of Abuja is like Central Area, Asokoro n Maitama ignoring Lugbe, Karu, Bwari, Abaji, Kwali... Or assuming Oji River, Nsukka, Udi, Awgu to be of same standard as Enugu town... Let's always be objective whn opening threads... Let's know the essence of the thread... Let's know what you're trying to preach!!! Thank You

Sloan: Houston, a city in Texas is oil producing as Bayelsa. Now, I will not even compare them in any way but why on earth can't ALL these roads even be marked and well delineated and landscaped? Yes, I know this was the best or one of the best roads you found and took a picture of but I am surprised you do not see this is a disgrace? Yet Bayelsa has a population of less than 2 M but a budget topping almost all the other states when you factor in their oil derivation component? So, in essence from Alamadeighna and Jonathan and the 2 loonies that came after him, they still could not make one proper marking on that stretch of road? No sidewalk on that very long stretch?

The difference is that while Texas controls it's oil revenue, Bayelsa does not.

anonimi:

What of TAP water also?
How many state GOVERNORS have seriously addressed the TAP water issue and covered more than 50% of houses, shops, schools, clinics, hospitals etc with this BASIC provision that also promotes good health and sanitation
How many?

YOU ARE 100 PERCENT CORRECT bruv ....

TopsyKrete:

LWKMD, at least na Ibadam u dey refer to...

YOU FORGOT OGUNPA RIVER FLOOD ...typical nigerian with amnesia

Osun all the way!!!
Ipinle Omoluabi

Anyone looking to get a good appreciation of places in Nigeria need to go there physically to witness things by themselves. Nairaland e-warriors won't always post the candid shots of places except they are trying to make their silly tribal or political points. you want to know how Bayelsa looks? Get a vehicle and go there. What about Ibadan or Onitsha? Go there yourself.


Simples.

When you think of Bayelsa, think of Lokoja.

Nothing more, nothing less.

ugly state

WACK!!!

berem: Snapping pictures of the same road in different angles and calling it a pride of the nation is an insult to Bayelsans and Jonathan. Chino,you deserve a ban!!

berem: taa mechionu! How dare you call my beloved Owerri a shanty looking town? Ina apu ara? If this nonsense you're posting is what makes yenagoa the pride of the nation,then what will you call your own state Anambra?

dnt even call anambra here owk...cos my ana.na im b d lyt ov da nation

Given that 20 years ago, Yenagoa was for all intents and purposes a typical Nigerian village, this is a MASSIVE progress. It is progressing like all other Nigerian cities are progressing.

Roads built without walkways, lots of hotels, tiny shops with irritating wares hanging outside 'ghettoising' the place. Shocking how town planning isn't a big deal in our country. Maybe the land use act has something to do with it but we need to properly organise our environment and stop all the mega city/new city arrangements.

An existing town can be organised properly and nicely. Not by coercion but by encouraging developments where you want them to be. A start would be encouraging tiny shopping complexes in neighbourhoods to have car parks for at least 8-10 cars.

and that is a big problem?

you sir is confused

i love bayelsa,friendly and accomodating
but different language,ogbia,epie,ijaw,nembe
op u forgot to snap patience jonathan hotel along express road,lol

Chino do you know you are seriously suffering from what I will call tribal madness and local championaemia. Help urself out dude. Ur tribal obscession has gone thru d ceiling. I'm an Igbo man from Imo, so no need for u to starting branding me an enemy frm d west.

Wow!! I must admit, if Bayelsans are happy with these infrastructural development then it shows just how much they have suffered through neglect by the govt. I sincerely hope the Nigerian govt will rise up to its obligations and provide world class infrastructural facilities for its people to the envy of the whole world.

Sunnybobo3:

. No oga, u missed the point, texas has great leaders at the helm of affairs and Bayelsa doesn't...Nigeria doesn't and USA has...

I laughed yeye youths of Nigeria

yenegoa still grossly underdeveloped inspite of the huge monthly subvention from the federal pulse, is this all it got to show?
