And it did develop when OBJ was there? C'mon beaf, you and I know it has to do with the governors of the individual states. GEJ is a national leader and can't be seen as partisan to any region of the country. The main ND states that have always been on point and will remain on point is Rivers, CR, Akwa-Ibom, Delta and Edo. Bayelsa, where GEJ comes from, has not changed much.

Beaf:

The governors are doing their own thing, but the FG projects are moving at the right pace for the first time in our history. Also, we have had several thousand trained abroad in various disciplines to suit the oil sector primarily. Its good, dude.

I am sure other sections would have felt a difference too, but its for them to post.

dmainboss:

Why are you such a confused i.diot? You asked a simple question if ND is developing now GEJ is there and you got your answer, Yes. Now you are saying it is the governors. Why do you dilly-dally so much? Cant you at least be stable for a minute? Of course you cannot because you are not arguing objectively but on a tribal platform. You have to make the guy look bad, or you will look bad yourself. This is a typical ACN trait.

Beaf:

^
It has nothing to do with ethnicity. Where did I say it had?
The fact is that there is development which you questioned.

By the way, the amnesty is 100% GEJ's idea, Yar Adua was more at home spending $3.3billion to arm the JTF to smash the Niger Delta. When that failed and the oil dried out, the clowns in power drafted GEJ to draw up the programme.

Dude, we are not talking about boiling moi moi here. Keep quiet and learn, because unlike you, I am well versed with verifiable knowledge.

The bolded has got to be a joke. I do not expect any educated person from the ND not to be able to back the fact of Yar Adua's crude, slave master approach to the problems in the ND. Perhaps, you also do not know that when stack failure stared him in the face, rather than evaluate more rational methods, he ran off to the US and signed what he thought was a deal with George Bush for AFRICOM to come in, build a base in Port Harcourt and smash up your village.
Luckily for us, the US saw what was going on in the ND as the highest oppression. It is worthy of note that that view still holds today, Hilary Clinton boldly called for Nigeria to hold a "national discussion" during the Yar Adua saga and later claimed that the ND is like occupied territory by the rest of Nigeria.

one notable achievement for which Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua will be remembered is the defusing of tension in the Niger Delta region through the Amnesty programme.

since you have the knowledge educate me now! i am hear to learn.

dmainboss:

GEJ cannot go to his own state? You must be reading the Nation or Sahara Reporters. When Bayelsa people used pure water to pelt Sylva, who saved him from the embarrassment? You have no clue. You think Yaradua cared about anybody in ND? Amnesty is a child of GEJ with the support of Aliemasegha. It was a recommendation from a committee that was setup to look into the ND crisis. The report was ignored until the whole ND was grounded by the militants and the oil production fell to an all time low of 700, 000 barrels per day. The government was between the devil and the deep blue sea. Yaradua had no choice but to ask that it be implemented. If Yaradua was really interested, he would have implemented the report when it was initially presented. Please ask questions if you dont know. Thank you

tell me when was the last time he went to his state? go ask anybody who knew yar'aduwa when he was gov[b] he had the thugs [/b]on his payroll. So he knows how to keep the militants down better than anyone.

Abeg tell us more . . .cos the operation code named Aaron  by MEND crippled the oil industry after Tom Polo Camp 5 and Gbaramatu kingdom destroyed were destroyed by the JTF . . .So Yar Adua was a hard core man . .interesting . .abeg i dey wait for the tory o!

I have heard you but can you please proved evidence that GEJ was the one that drafted the amnesty program instead of Yar'adua. I'll be interested to know the info because that is not what I have been reading:

[size=14pt]Why Jonathan visited Tompolo’s militant camp in 2009 – Kuku[/size]
Emma Amaize

12 October 2011, France, PARIS- Special Adviser to the President on Niger-Delta and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Committee, Kingsley Kuku has explained the circumstances surrounding the visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to the dreaded militant den, Camp 5, in Delta State in 2009.

President Goodluck Jonathan who was then vice president had visited the dreaded militant den, Camp 5 to confer with ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, and other Niger-Delta agitators.

Kuku, who was one of the three persons that boarded a presidential jet with Dr. Jonathan from Abuja to Warri and proceeded with a boat, guarded by militants from Escravos to the den, where former militant leaders from across the region were waiting for him, said it was to save the Niger-Delta region from being destroyed by the military.

The special adviser who spoke at a programme in Paris with the French Institute of International Relations, facilitated by the Hope for Niger-Delta Campaign, HNDC, a Non Governmental Organization, NGO, based in The Netherlands, founded by Comrade Sunny Ofehe., said that nobody, including the nation’s top security chiefs , gave him (Jonathan) a chance of returning to Abuja alive because of the fear of militants.

Kuku gave the glory of the final declaration of amnesty to the late Yar’Adua and said the former President had already given the military the red flag to commence a cleansing operation, but it was put on hold against security advice following the counsel of his deputy, Dr. Jonathan that he should be given a last minute opportunity to reach out to the leaders of the fighters.

“You cannot separate former President Yar’Adua from President Goodluck Jonathan in terms of the amnesty programme , we owe the glory of the amnesty programme to Yar’Adua, the military had been given the red flag to commence cleansing military operation in the Niger Delta when President Jonathan, against security advice, choose to go to the dreaded Camp 5.”

“The President told him, Mr. Vice President, you cannot go to the Niger-Delta, even Britain, everybody had written a no visit order to their citizens at the time. He (Jonathan) was given a last minute opportunity when he volunteered to go to the creek to ensure that without war, this matter is resolved. Against all odds, the President told him if you think the military should not be used, you go home and talk to your brothers.

[b]Again, I was privileged to be one of the three persons that boarded a presidential aircraft without security with him from Abuja to Delta, took an helicopter to Escravos and from Escravos, went by boat, guided and guarded by the ex-agitators and their threatening guns and ammunition, we went to their camp and discussed, peace was extracted at that moment and we came back, by the time the vice president returned, so many people did not believe that he was going to return”, he asserted.

Kuku explained that it was Jonathan’s gallantry and peace that was extracted that emboldened President Yar’Adua to say, “Well it means it (amnesty) is possible, so let us proclaim it. It was actually a test proclamation that was made, it was Jonathan that actually counseled by physically visiting and ensuring that peace was extracted and we got about the Roadmap to Peace Committee, the Technical Committee on Niger-Delta and everything came on board and amnesty was proclaimed June 25”.

“Interestingly, our late President had an opportunity never to accept t or to accept he counsel of his vice president. But he accepted because he believed while he lived the fact that Niger-Delta had suffered so much and needed attention in terms of development. Today, he is no more, but two years of our marking amnesty, we gave him the glory”, he stated.[/b]
