Enough of this silly loser's cry by GEJ supporters. What is your definition of betrayal?... Do you even know the meaning of the word 'betrayal'?

Amaechi had disagreements with GEJ and was humiliated, thereafter he vowed not to support GEJ in 2015. He kept to his words and helped to kick the accursed president out of Abuja. He did not pretend to be supporting Jonathan in any way and the whole world knew he was not in good terms with GEJ. So how is that suppose to be betrayal?

Common sense definition of betrayal is when you have an agreement with someone and at the last minute, you turn around and stab the person at the back. Typical examples of betrayal is the case of Amaechi's deputy (Tele Ikuru) who jumped ship just a week to elections without even informing his boss. But of course, I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying because even common sense isn't too common.

On the contrary, GEJ is the modern day king Saul who was anointed by God and was made king on a platter. After getting into power, he instantly went astray and allowed himself to be misled by court jesters and poor advisers. He strayed away from the path of good and God silently removed the anointing from him and his entire household and lineage and David (whom no one expected) was anointed King in his stead.

Similarly, those calling Amaechi a court jester for dancing in public are just like the daughter of king Saul who laughed and despised King David for dancing before the Lord in public. If you know your bible very well, I'm sure you know what happened to Michal the daughter of Saul and first wife of King David (Read 2 Samuel 6:16-23).

21 gun salute to civilian-General Amaechi. He fought the good fight, unlike another compatriot who simply rolled over and abnegated his responsibilities. wink

It should come as no real surprise that, beyond the usual reactionary outbursts of emotion which Amaechi actually pre-empted in his speech, only a few commentators would be able to address the contradictions he raised, directly. Beholden to a ‘cult of personality’, based on ethnic-interests only, one can fully expect those easily given to ad-hominem attacks - in place of disagreeable but well-thought arguments - to live up to their true calling. They will be here soon...

2015: Why I’m Not Supporting Jonathan- Amaechi…Blasts Uduaghan, Okonjo-Iweala

September 19, 2013

[img]http://ireports-ng.com/wp-content/themes/goodnews47/framework/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://ireports-ng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Amaechi-being-decorated.jpg&h=275&w=599&zc=1[/img]

Rivers State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum(NGF), Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has fired back at the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan over their comments on the nation’s economy and South-South support for President Jonathan, respectively.

Governor Amaechi stated that the Nigerian economy is battling to survive contrary to the rosy picture been painted by the Finance Minister. According to him, the Federal Government is yet to pay fully the Rivers State allocation for the month of July.

Amaechi spoke at a programme organized by the Rotary International, District 9140 for young future leaders at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Thursday.

On Governor Uduaghan’s remarks that opposition to President Goodluck Jonathan should not come from the President’s South-South region, Governor Amaechi stated that he considers Nigeria’s national interest far and above any other (regional) interest.

This was as he challenged young men and women to become interested in governance issues and demand and get responses from those in government.

He bemoaned the fact that those fighting a just cause were being maligned on the altar of public criticism, stating also that Nigerians suffer from not asking relevant questions.

“When you are principled in Nigeria and you stand on your principles, what do they call you? ‘Stubborn’, the audience chorused. “They expect you to compromise at a point but when you refuse to compromise, you are a very stubborn man”.

“We(NGF) asked the Minister for Finance to resign if she is not able to manage the economy and she replied that ‘I dey kampe’. As at now, we are yet to receive complete, the federation allocation for July. How strong is an economy that cannot fund its statutory state government federal allocation? Our entitlement as Rivers State Government in July was N19 billion, they have paid us only N14 billion, you get the point? Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) published receipt of N1.05 trillion in July, so why do they say that there is no money? If we receive N1.05 trillion by July, why are they saying there is no money”? , he queried.

“Now, why am I saying this to you? I am saying it because as potential leaders, you must learn to ask questions. If you think that the youths spur me, you don’t, you don’t inspire me. Why don’t you inspire me? Because you are learning to be like us. Let me paint the image of us – corrupt, poor leadership, that’s what you are copying…”

“We produce oil and we are one of the poorest nations in the world, are we not? Which nation would allow a Commissioner of Police like (Joseph) Mbu to continue to be Commissioner of Police other than in Nigeria? ‘Iraq, Syria’, the crowd chorused. “Maybe, Syria. So, you see our peers: Syria, Iraq, Pakistan. I am sharing experiences with you before I talk about the issue of leadership.”

“Now, I read today’s paper and my friend (Governor Emmanuel) Uduaghan (of Delta State) says anybody who is from South-South should not oppose our President, should not have a different view from our president. Did you read it? I will reply him but let me start replying him from here. First, I am a Nigerian… The reason why you have South-South, South-West, South-East, South this, North-West, North that, is because in Nigeria what you have in leadership is a wreck culture. I would have brought you a book titled ‘It’s our turn to eat’ in Kenya. In Nigeria, it should be what, ‘It’s our turn to chop’.

“Now the reason why you have this South-West, South-East, North-West, North this, North that and all that is because you have a wreck culture where all we care about is how to share the till… So, South-South has shared for four years, how many of you have benefitted from the sharing for four years, raise your hand, how many of you, ‘none’, ” the crowd again chorused. “So none. How many of you passed through East-West road, how was the road”. “Bad”, they again chorused. “And our President is from South-South, so you see why I should support the President? ”No ooo”, the crowd chorused again.

“So, the basic rule is that none of us should oppose our President if you are from South-South, that is what the man(Uduaghan) tells us…”


He urged the youths to arm themselves with education to revive Nigeria which is comatose, expressing sadness that the country’s poverty rate has risen to an unbearable level where many Nigerians hardly get enough to eat.

“Now for you as young men and women, we present you a nation that is yearning for repair. For me, the nation does not only need repair, it requires change.”

“In 1970, the poverty rate in Nigeria was 30 per cent. How many of you know the poverty rate now? I was in a meeting where I said it was 70%, the Minister of Finance said it was 68%. What’s the difference between 68 and 70? So, we are giving you a nation that is in the state of comatose, that’s what we are handing over to you.”

“If it is a nation that is progressing, from 30% in 1970, we should be talking about 15% now. So you have work to do and the first step to that work is education”, Amaechi said.

He explained that his administration introduced free education in the state to afford everyone, particularly poor parents the opportunity of sending their children to school, lamenting that the cost of education in the country had denied education to most Nigerians. Governor Amaechi also used the occasion to commend Rotary International for complementing state governors in the fight against polio.

Earlier, the District Governor of Rotary International District 9140, Dr Charles Oniawan said Rotary unites people from all nationalities and backgrounds, saying that the programme was designed to give the youth leadership skills to serve the people and humanity. Among those present at the event was former Rivers State Deputy Governor in Dr Peter Odili’s administration, Sir G.T.G. Toby who is a former District Governor of Rotary International.

Footnote for the detractors that are to come:

Sadly, it is the same commentator who relies on poor tools of analysis to project redundant and ethnically-charged arguments about “protecting our own”, today, who would be quick to point to the high “misery index” which characterises life in Nigeria. For these same individuals, irony has no value whatsoever. Although few of the gains they tout actually trickles down to them, with the bar of achievement set perennially low, these fickle minds have learnt to find fulfilment in places where there is none.

No, in this instance, Amaechi’s rallying call to the Nigerian youth transcends his own failings as an individual. What it speaks to is a cycle of poor leadership which has continued unabated, within a society where a system-wide culture of inquiry is yet to take root.

You sometimes need a Moses, who has been part of the rot (in a house of Pharaoh), to elevate the debate and coalesce minds around existential issues. That Nigeria now appears to have found its own in the form of Amaechi is neither co-incidence nor an accident of history.
