@Beaf You like beefing everybody who says anything against the Niger Delta. That is not how to face issues. @Topic Bankole made a point but he leads one of the groups that is Nigeria's biggest problem. He constituted a power probe committee only to back down when some powerful forces did some behind-the-scene abracadabra. He is advising the people of the Niger delta to hold their leaders accountable. How many times in our history as a nation hv d people been able to hold their leaders accountable? How many people can protest against the government without the police forcefully dispersing them? Why grant the so-called corrupt ND governors immunity while serving and protect them with court injunctions and supposed rule of law when they are out of office? How many corrupt federal government officials have the house of rep under Bankole been able to investigate, indict and push for their prosecution? Bankole is only playing politics. Politicians will always come out to garner support by way of pretending to say the truth. Bankole referred to Lagos as an example of a state with good governance. Why didnt he refer to any PDP governed state. Same Bankole will lead the PDP campaign train to attempt to rig the performing Lagos state governor out of office come 2011. Who is deceving who? According to diplomatiq OPJ of Wazobia FM, Who be FOOL? |

@pro anti. As much as i dont support bankole and its house of un-assembled men/women,i think the house cannot prosecute an individual except its own,nd to ask to know how many they have been able to prosecute will not yield antin.I am sure bankole is not thinking of returning to that house come 2011,cos anytime a PDP serving person starts sain the right thing (subjective) the PDP makes sure he neva gets re-elected. I just hope Nigeria gets awa from dis kinda situation cos MEND don dey declare war again |

Beaf: That was in comparison to the TOTAL for Lagos State. Just in case you want the VAT revenues for Bayelsa: N341,603,296.41 was the VAT revenue to Bayelsa State in Sept 2009. N3,664,566,163.02 was the VAT revenue to Bayelsa State in 2008.  |

It is not surprising that whenever the name Niger-Delta is mentioned, idiots cannot wait to show their stupidity on a public forum. They say we should hold our leaders accountable. How would they like us to hold our leaders accountable? Through legal means or through the use of violence? It is funny that those who decry violence the most would be the first to tell us to hold our leaders accountable. As far as I know, the only legal means by which we can hold our leaders accountable is by prosecution, a method which is rendered void by the immunity clause, voted into law by Hon Mr Speaker Bankole and his thieving cohorts in the House of Reps/Assembly. I know of no Niger-Deltan who loves Odili, Ibori, Alams etc. So where do idiots get the idea that our leaders steal because we allow them to? Our leaders steal because the Nation allows them too. After una sort out una legislative process, then you can throw stones in our backyard. |

bibiking, Why would you see me as hilter, we are not trying to expand our land as you assume. No. We know where yoruba land ends. it is not in nigeria. A modification of the border should not be seen like hilter. no. It is a welcome development by our people. And I can tell you it is a nice one. To show you it would work, Here is a picture of the Benin republic president and president yar adua of nigeria. We want to do this. And we hope the international community would understand. We are like the same case of east and west germany, who remove the artificial border. It is the same people living in two countries. but with two president. Here is the picture from Yesterday. This is the only solution to avoid a civil war and we already know more than 15 ,000,000 people would be killed. If you understand the politics involve, look in congo, there are 60 million people. A civil war in congo for a duration of 3 years, a total of 5,000,000 people were killed. Now for a population of 150 million, the loss would be really high. It is the best thing for our country . Just see us like east and west germany. but with two president This is what we are. This picture is from yesterday.

I know of no Niger-Deltan who loves Odili, Ibori, Alams etc. Nice try, Your argument is not only bogus, it's void of credibility. Till MEND incinerate those clowns just like they slaughtered innocent Nigerians, you're yarning nothing but dust. How do you justify having innocent Nigerians shed blood and pay for the sins of your brothers in the delta? |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by babapupa: 9:22pm On Oct 16, 2009 |
then Bankole and the FG will protect them from being prosecuted. MEND too go look the other way and and slaughter innocent people instead. Be real. |

Nigeria’s budget for this year was around N3trillion. However, by the time you add the budget of the Niger Delta states alone, it is over N1.5trillion. There are may be over 140 to 150milion people in Nigeria. Niger Delta as about 17million; the remaining 130million is outside the Niger Delta. If these claims are true Bankole should state where he got these statistics from. The mere fact that he is speaker of the house of rep does not mean that everything he says is the way it is. Secondly Nigeria Delta has been reported to be recieving 13% of revenue from oil derivation which accounts for over 90% of the GDP of Nigeria which translates to about 351 billion naira of this years budget so how come Bankole is quoting 1.5 trillion? Lastly if the Niger Delta are already recieving more than 50% of the national budget then why are they agitating for 26% of the revenue derived from oil? (I STAND TO BE CORRECTED ON MY FIGURES) I smell unscrupulus politics from Bankole he is up to no good. However Bankole is right the people of Niger Delta should question their leaders on how they spent their money. But should the questions be limited to only the Niger Delta? Should't every state government or at the least 95% of state governments be quizzed? Is it only in the Niger Delta that government misappropriated funds? If he really meant well he would have generalised that suggestion. I smell a rat. |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by Nobody: 10:41pm On Oct 16, 2009 |
I wonder why bankole's remark is generating confusion, Its just a matter of simple "YES" or "NO" .,but to be honest and clear, we know leadership is a general problem in nigeria, Since a president can fail,why should we expect perfection from niger delta leaders,afterall all of us na human being, Sebi now |

[flash=425,335] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO0hQHou1cw[/flash] Bankole has no right to talk about Niger Delta when Lagos looks like this. |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by Kobojunkie: 11:56pm On Oct 16, 2009 |
SapeleGuy: Bankole has every right to talk about Niger delta. MEND problem is from Niger Delta, isn't it? Why should the NATION that has been affected by MEND bringing fought the Niger Delta as an issue of National attention not discuss it again? See me see wahala oo? You wanted our attention, now that you've got it, you are yapping willy-knilly about how folks have no right to talk about you again? roflmao!! |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by superboi(m): 12:11am On Oct 17, 2009 |
please is bankole trying to say that he is not one of the irresponsible leaders of the niger delta?  . after all he is still the leader of the house that oversee the niger delta also or is the niger delta now outside the spheres of the house of reps? if no then he is one of those irresponsible leaders he is refering to. he should do his job and try and improve the live of the niger deltan and all other nigerian and stop all this is crazy abstract talk.  |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by SapeleGuy: 12:16am On Oct 17, 2009 |
Kobojunkie: Bankole said there are bridges in Abuja but none in Niger Delta(another pure lie), and he gave Lagos as an example of best practice for Niger Delta governors to follow and I have merely given two reasons to the contrary: 1. Calabar Cross River State 2. Ajegunle |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by ogb5(m): 12:19am On Oct 17, 2009 |
Bankole is lying the pattern is well known, people like him are only trying to incite the people of the niger delta against their leaders. They will call the Niger delta leaders corrupt so that the people will not ask for more derivation money. are govs in other parts of Nigeria better than the Niger delta govs? Why is the corruption focus on the ND govs. The provisional census figures as at 2006 puts the population of Nigeria at 140 million, while the Nine ND states at 31 million, where did Bankole manufacture 17million from as the population of the Niger delta. At a population of 31million, 22% of Nigerians live in the Niger Delta, giving 13% of the revenue to 22% of the population is not doing the people a favour, there is 87% of the revenue left to be shared by the remaining 78% of Nigerians. During obasanjos tenure, revenue allocation to he states was well publicised, at no time during those years was the allocation to any Niger delta state higher than an entire region of 6 states. the revenue allocation formula has not changed in favour of the Niger delta states since obasanjos tenure. Bankole is manufacturing these lies to justify denying federal expenditure in the niger delta. The problems in the Delta are not manly problems to be solved by the state govts, they are problems to be solved by the federal problem. Nigeria constitution vest ownership and maintenance of Trunk A roads on the federal govt. Roads like the East- West road, like the benin Lagos road, like the PH - Owerri road, like the Aba -Ikot ekpene road, all these roads are federal roads in the Niger delta and they are all very bad. It is criminal for Bankole to push the blame for these bad infracstructures on the Niger delta govs. Provision of Electricity is vested on the very Government, thats why even states gov have to obtain permission from the federal govt before they can build independent power plants. For Bankole to turn around and blame the niger delta state govts for lack of electricity is condemnable. Provision of security is vested on the federal govt. No state gov in nigeria can even sack a thiefing policeman. For bankole to turn around and accuse the Niger delta govs of not providing security to Niger delta citizens when it is a federal responsibility is sheer madness. in the Arewa areas of Nigeria, the federal govt build water projects with federal funds, I am yet to see a federal water project in the Niger delta. All water projects in the ND are built either by companies or the state govt. Federal medical centres are alien to the people of the Niger delta, Federal medical centres are only dot the north. People like bankole will not tell you the truth that after derivation is paid to the ND states very little is done by the fderal govt in the ND. Federal roads have to be built by the Niger delta govs, example is the Warri Omadino road + Bridge, the Bomadi road + bridge, the Ahoada Omoku road, the yenegoa road. Bankole will not tell you that these federal projects were done by the state govts. because they want to simply call the Niger delta leaders crooks at all cost. even when all nigerian politicians are crooks. Delta state govt had to build NTA stations in delta state because the federal govt will not build it, even children know that building NTA stations should be a federal venture. |
| Re: Bankole To Niger Delta: Your Leaders Failed You by Kobojunkie: 12:23am On Oct 17, 2009 |
SapeleGuy: So, you are still on the issue of the lies the man told to get his message to the Niger Delta government? Because he lied, we should ignore his call for more accountability on the part of the Niger Delta governors? Look, I am not here to discuss his lies. If that is what you want to spend time doing, then go right ahead. When you get to the part where you want to discuss the main beaf of the statements he made, let me know. |

His view are his personal view and not the views of the yoruba people. The people of bayelsa state are great people. They are wonderful people. They deserve more money. The issue if any one want to complain, they should ask the questions. And we all know that the federal govt get 54% of the revenue. And the federal govt spends 90% of the 54% on the north. So the north have no complain of money. . Did you hear the federal says anything about badagry expressway. No. but they collect 54% . It is only a stupid and stupid yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa man that believe in electoral reform. What is best for the people of yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa state is to join the republic of benin. And we make the north majority. Oro po ni nu iwe kobo. If chief Obafemi awolowo was alive, this is what he would do, because he love the common man more than money. some people who are ex or still politician love contract and money more than people. Chief Obafemi awolowo was a fair man and he was not a 419 or drug dealer. He believes in been fair, he would want the north to be majority and save the lifes of 15,000,000 nigerian. I can tell you, chief obafemi awolowo in his gravel support the yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa state joining the republic of benin. And we know what we are doing. The yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa would not regret, but if they allow the same politics who steal from them to decieve them not to allow the north to be majority. Then there future is gone. yorubas would say if you hold a bird and ask the other person, if the bird is alive or death. the life and death of the bird is in his hand. yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa people should not look at any rich man, they are making the money, that why they want you to remain. You think about your own children before any rich man. And this is what chief Obafemi Awolowo alway did. And we look at what is best for us. Ki ni ti ojo mi re, e o re. Think of your own children first before you listen to a politician who only interest is contract. |

It's about time someone said something.I used to support the militants before but thinking about it, how many of their governors have they kidnapped?All the hundreds of millions and maybe billions of dollars they made from oil bunkering : what did they use it for?They cry everyday about ill treatment but the money wey dem make nko?Did they use it for the betterment of their people?Sometimes its good to see things from both sides.The only thing they did was to arm and enrich themselves.Period! (Typical black man mentality). Why didnt they kidnap Ibori when he was there?I hear he's their "chairman".Alams nko?Dem no see am kidnap?Odili nko?Abeg make we hear word jare.From leaders to militants are all the same thing : greedy black bastards! F**k them all. |

Nairalanders really love to blow hot and cold. Today they're accusing Bankole tomorrow, they're praising him. Before y'all start praising him and giving him the title "Defender of Democracy", get this straight. He may have spoken the truth about Lagos but then, what else could he have said? Which other state could he have used as an example. Which other state has witnessed so much development in a short period as Lagos state? Politicians in Nigeria sometimes tell the truth so they can sound sincere but the fact is until they act out their sincerity, they can't be believed. Yar'Adua said the elections that brought him to power was flawed. That was the truth but what has he done about it? If he was sincere, he would have enforced electoral reform by now or quit then but he did not. His defence now is that an electoral tribunal declared his election valid but we all know the truth. Ibori is about to be let off the hook (you can bet me on that). That tells you a lot about the Judiciary in Nigeria, the "last bastion of hope for the common man". This is an opportunity for the judiciary to write it's name in gold, to put a corrupt person where he belongs but am sure they will not, afterall "greasing of palms" is still very much in existence. This is the low down. Both the Federal goverment and the Niger Delta leaders are corrupt. Questions should be asked of both. If the Federal government want to be blameless in this issue, they should play their part first. If the region remains the same after this, then they can put the blame solely on the shoulders of the Niger Delta leaders. Sometimes, the truth is told to deceive. |

Who owns this Niger Delta? Is it not this same Yoruba people? Let put aside the divide and conquer tactics of colonial rulers. You and I know the fact that Yoruba people inhabited the island called WESTERN REGION, and as you know two bosses cannot tug in the same boat. You could see our influence on everything in Western Region, even currently we own 82% of all the land on Western Region. Ijaws and others on western region know that they were all visitors who had adapted their selves into our cultural realm. Then, to all the cave tribe called ibos. I don't know what is wrong with them with their obsessed kerfuffle with anything Yoruba or Oduduwa. Don't blame us, blame God who made you inferior to Yoruba tribe. We made you too! Your tribe used to be monkeys and could mumble any speech till our son "Bichop Samuel Ajayi Crowther" codified your ibo language for you. So, what do you do to show us your appreciation? The only thing you did was to eat all our MONKEYS in Idanre Hills. Also, trying to get credit for everything Yoruba culture produced to this world, anyway they whole world cannot be fooled. Go on youtube and type igbo culture or religion, you are probably going to see like 4,000 clips; but just Yoruba culture or religion it's over 10,000,000 clips I promise you and it's guaranteed. |
