Bayelsa that is not even as big as Yaba local govt area is supposed to be the most developed state in Nigeria given its size, small population and oil derivation they collect. If jonathan has taken money illegally from CBN and use it to develop bayelsa to be like dubai, Nigerians would have pardoned him. But he was a vice president, acting president and president, yet his people don't have drinking water and passable road. And he's busy telling the world that part of his achievement was that he meet dangote as the rishest man in Nigeria and when he got into power, dangote became the rishest man in Africa. Is that an aChievememt? I was expecting him to list his major achievement as uprgrading his state to a world class city like dubai and china. Even an helipad, he didn't build in his town, meanwhile, the man they call "dullard" has built an helipad in daura in his first 3 months in office. Jonathan is a shame. Nonsense! 242 Likes 26 Shares |

We told them. Invest the wealth in human capital. Enrich the minds of our people. Manage the youth, create factories (certainly not hotels), improve the general well being of the people. Enact laws that make local power production easily achievable. We had the power and might. The finance and connections. Yet, we mismanaged everything. We encouraged militancy, we distributed guns and munitions. Reacted angrily to opposing views. Now we live in penury... Once again. Ok we'll revert to militancy once again. Burst pipelines, kidnap foreigners and locals alike. The ultimate loss would still be ours. Sustainable development appears alien to us. We despoil our land and waterways. Simply Irritating and repugnant. I weep for my People. 165 Likes 15 Shares |

The next may be Imo State but thank goodness, the debt repayment is differed. When a normal room in City Global Hotel Aba was N8000, City Global Hotel Owerri is priced N18000 before now. For what? Any perfect guess wins Monday lunch in any joint of your choice in Owerri, Aba or Port-harcourt. 4 Likes 1 Share |

GudluckIBB: Don't stay in your enclave and judge others faraway. The challenges of Bayelsa State is enormous and has very little to do with population. Jonathan and his wife's overbearing influence destroyed what could have been the gains of hardworking Dickson. No society can develop by empowering criminals against hardworking law abiding citizens including academicians. Jonathan's government made militants lords of Bayelsa and impoverished the law abiding ones. Amaechi helped Rivers State escape the Bayelsa stigma. He refused to empower militants but chose to use the money to empower law abiding citizens in the communities. Today Rivers people own businesses and compete favorably with Igbos in every sector because of Amaechi's wisdom. 130 Likes 12 Shares |

The meddlesome albino twitter claptrap is more interested in what is happening in far away Osun than what goes on in his bedroom. The problem with Bayelsa is that there are just too many political godfathers interested in the scarce resources of the state. When you are done "settling'' these men, there is hardly anything left to execute any tangible developmental project. Such an unfortunate scenario. 53 Likes 8 Shares |

I am witness to this. I travelled to Bayelsa to visit a friend two weeks ago and the level of economic hardship being faced by the people of that state is terrible and pathetic. I was told that the state governent is yet to pay salaries for about five months. I am sorry to say this but Alamayeseigha destroyed Bayelsa state. In fact, Obasanjo and all politicians who ruled from 1999 to 2007 destroyed what was left of what Buhari, IBB Abacha had already destroyed. 25 Likes |

One slowpoke just commented that Yaba in Lagos is bigger than bayelsa. What a lie from the pit of hell. Please you all need to be informed, Bayelsa is over two times bigger than lagos state as a whole. Go get your facts right! Why are APC supporters so hateful and deceitful. They are after bayelsa now. A similar situation happened in Enugu, the moment the government declared Enugu airport free to fly to China, USA etc, the lagos APC supporters rushed to the media and start writing thrash claiming the Enugu runway is bad. The airport I just landed yesterday that is in a perfect condition. For the same reason the LAGOS APC political touts did every possible and boost Jonathan out for the single reason that he said he will build seaport for the igbos in onitsha. They beleive this will draw importers to onitsha against lagos. Jonathan tried a lot in bayelsa, South south, southeast, South West, and most especially the north. A man of equity.

So a news reporter that works for an APC chieftain woke up this morning and decided to travel from Lagos to bayelsa to tell us that there economy has collapsed he did not see it fit to pass through oyo, osun, Edo etc. He did not see it fit to do a report on the Lagos economy and tell us if the Nigerian economy is doing better or worse than before? Journalist are a serious problem to the Nigerian project their bias, junk journalism, lack of patriotism through obvious bias that they comes from political affiliation. Today that we still have long queues of fuel going on for 3 months a writer decides to travel 5000 miles from his home to an opposition state to what end? Divert peoples tots from the pressing issues on ground? This is awful, shameful, diversionary and very disgusting! 40 Likes 4 Shares |
