And you never tried to ask what an elected governor was thinking when be blocked major roads in PH for her? you never asked too why an elected governor felt it necessary to give her such details in public?  Or do you mean becuase she is the first lady she loses her right as an okrika indigene and consequently her stakeholder status?

babasoty:

just reading some folks here rile this woman really surprises me, first I speak as an Okrikan and secondly I speak as someone who was present there when it all transpired, lets get something clear I as a rivers indigene do honestly appreciate the efforts of governor Ameachi in transforming Rivers state, I am a supporter of his achievements and laudable strides, I paid in my own little way for supporting Amaechi to become the governor of Rivers state, for that I had my family house in Okrika destroyed and my mother's community in Amadi-Ama attacked cause we believed, ( that was Amaechi's slogan) now coming to this incident,
1. Patience Jonathan never took the mic from Governor Ameachi's hand, never
2. She never scolded the governor, nope she only told him to please consult with the heads and chiefs  of the community before acquiring any property for demolition rather than telling the Local government chairman to do so because land issues is seriously sensitive when it comes to Okrikans

A lot of you just talk silly without facts, have u ever been to Okrika, do you know how small Okrika is, She was right in what she said, an Okrika man can kill cus of land cus its a scarce commodity in Okrika, just because you are building a school dosen't mean people should be sent on exile, the problem with Ameachi is dialogue is not a part of him, he thinks as the governor its his right to demolish every thing in sight and pay you compensation, nope it doesn't happen that way, she was right in insisting that dialogue was the best option with the chiefs and heads of the community, Njemanze waterfront was demolished its now a parking lot for the silverbird cinema, has anything meaningful thing been placed there, Nope, I am not against development and I believe everyone has to pay a price for that, but it ought to be "Jaw jaw not War War", you dialogue with the people , this is their ancestral lands and its not easy letting go, How many of the people spewing thrash here would watch their ancestral lands taken from them without dialogue and knowing your providing an alternative for them, He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches, She's an Okrikan and she knows how serious this is for her people, so before most of you go talking rubbish hear her own views

pawa4ul:

Since I started hearing of first ladies (including LGA chairmen's wives), this is the most local of them that I have seen or heard in my lifetime. I don't blame her sha, she is exhibiting the real babaric lifestyle of her people.

This women disgraced the hell out of Nigerians when she was making her speech in the conference she attended in Canada or so. We should stop sending/granting this buffoon public outings. GJ should arrange a private tutor for his local wife to educate her on public addressing.

We now see why some of the military men have ceremonial wives added to their main wives!

Mr Money: The governor was explaining by video his school project in Okrika, saying there must be demolition of some buildings to have space for the schools.

And as the first lady,i expected her to maintain a decorum that goes in line with her status and not behaving like a pepper seller.the fact is that her statement which she made out of politics has gone against against a policy decision of the state.
The government is in charge of the state and anybody coming in is a guest including the first lady and it's expected of a sensible guest to agree with the terms and conditions of her host but patience was not patient enough to do that instead she showed off the hooliganism in her blood.''Listen to me '' ? Can you imagine  ? As she was talking to her son .

na_so:

On the first bolded text, I think you are right, but when you read Babasoty's post , you will agree that this may have been sensationally reported as payback for IBB's 10m.

You seem to be talking like we are in some military government. Ibime has stated there that there are existing suits against the govts planned action. She as the first lady and a daughter (elected or not) of okrika is a major stakeholder, and that is the right she execised.

babasoty:

The governor is an elected official, he should know how to comment in public, the local government chairman of andoni was also elected by his people, but was publicly embarrassed and called incompetent in front of the people who elected him by Ameachi, the INC chairman was also elected by his people but was also publicly humilated in absentia in front of his Okrika kinsmen by the same governor, attend any of the town hall meetings and you'd know Ameachi feels his a demigod, publicly ridiculing traditional rulers et al, He just met his match in Patience, People just comment anyhow here talking trash without know the true situation of things in rivers state, the same patience everyone is calling names at the grand reception organised on that same day, commended the governor for his achievements and also enjoined her Okrika people to support the governor in his developmental strides in rivers state, concerning the waterfronts there was a court order retraining the governor from destroying bundu-ama, but he was still adamant and still sent enumerators and surveyors there, someone like him who came into power through the courts should have been the first to respect the courts, we are in a democracy not an autocracy words like "I Must" "we Must" on the people who voted you and supported you is not the best, there are better options in resolving the waterfront issue before it snowballs into another inter-ethnic war in rivers state, ask any real rivers man and you'd know the waterside issue is more than just development it is also about identity and ownership of land in port harcourt, its not only in the waterfronts we have cultist Ogbakiri was a base for militants and cultist during the rivers state crisis period has it been demolished almost every rumu village in port harcourt has their own little cultist and criminals have they been demolished, in as much as the state government has to bring development to its people as that it is civic responsibility the fear of what happened in maroko is still fresh in the peoples memory and I believe dialogue is the best solution to this issue than the language of power or "Must", I still believe in my governor and would be the first to vote for him for a second tenure but I still believe in dialogue as a means of resolving this issue and that was exactly Patience Jonathan meant which everyone now terms scolding, or was advising him to dialogue with the chiefs and heads of the people a wrong idea?

Let us not forget her full name: Patience 'Faka' Jonathan. No wonder she is acting Faka Faka. As the name of a thing is, so is that thing, (No be me talk am, na Bible talk am). Don't you see her husband's name impacting on him, Goodluck?

Pls NL mambers strive to give your children good names.

Very silly Woman. What right does she have to scold elected Official of the state, in his own domain ?

teejan:

Amaechi is a dumb fool,he talks arrogantly and is busy doing nothing in Rivers state,he is a mediocre Governor,he stole funds under Odilis tenure and now wants to tout himself a saint,it will only take time for karma to catch up with him,he believes he can forcefully displace locals from their abode,the Niger-Delta celebrates mediocrity in the S/West come Lagos,Amaechi would never be voted in as a councillor,he doesnt have the sterling qualities of a leader,rash and unbridled talk.Let him take a cue from BRF,dumb !

did some of you actually read through these comments?pls dont be quick to insult the woman abeg. some people have posted wat actually happened. meanwhile,would we get the same response from okirika indigenes if it was an okirika governor threatening to do this?pls be honest.

Kinezeala:

an illetrate unpolished woman scolding an intellitual governor?
Chai,misplaced power,infact this na power miss road.

oyb:
is this the best our resident spokesman for johnahan has to say about the bizarre, bovine, and utterly classless actions of madam it is not easy to carry second  

if this is what we are seeing now - who knows what we will see when gej is operation totalited into office

maybe she will actually have her aides threaten  ameachi - iyabo obasanjo/gbenga daniel style ?

i see bad things in store for ph going by the actions of the first thugess

by their wives you shall know em -  just as in the case of yardua, where turai wears the trousers - does this mean we can expect 4 years of rule of patience - behind every weak president is an over ambitious first lady
