Promote swimming?

Swimming is already a usual practice for those dwelling in the riverine areas especially the Ijaws unless the aim here is to create cleaner swimming areas. However I'd rather the fund spent on cleaning the polluted rivers.

[size=20pt]this is really money miss road
just like the president[/size]

Swimming for recreation is not the same as for sports. Nigeria should be hauling medals with the natural abilities in the area, but there is nothing to harness it.

Well, the people can't say they don't have funds available for serious development, if they really wanted that to begin with.

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This people will never change! This is agbero govtment o! They will just sleep wit ashewo at night, wake up in the morning and start projects without thinking. Niger Deltans are surfering na swimming them wan chop? Okpe!
This is how you know those in govt who never went through school at all.

True - that goes for other areas too i.e. equestrian sports.

True, true.
But the part that frightens me is how much they're going to quote for this. Chi mo!

:oswimming pool ? oya make una clapp for una self una don try

Why cant this useless do the right thing for once? Why not build a local factory where some thing will be produce and the people of the land will have a place to wrk and get to be paid at the end of the day. This is really a shame. To bad to the govt of nigeria

so ashamed

At last government looked into that direction. Good.

Hope in few years time medals will be rolling in over direction. Good idea.

Good move

Will having swimming pools at our disposal and participating actively in Swimming competitions solve our numerous problems? I wonder where they get their ideas from!

Anyway, as we say in Delta 'at all at all na im bad pass"

Misplaced priority!

well hello Gastroenteritis, Dysentery, Amoebic dysentery, Cholera, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Giardiasis, Cryptosporidiosis, Salmonellosis, Shigellosis and Dermatitis.

Where? in front of a kidnappers den or close to looting NDDC officials.
Way out of relevance.
Stop stealing & get Naija developed.

Erratic, impulsive events can never culminate in significant development.

Any move taken by govt. will be criticized and condemned by majority of us. Building swimming pools is a good move but it should not be in Niger-Delta alone. We have raw talents that need to be explored. In the near future, this investment will be bringing return/benefits to 9ja. Investment is not limited only to oil,agriculture or almajiri education. Let support them for God's sake.

Priorities in order?

Fears persist over fate of refineries

good thinking, good product from ur moda

We will continue to hear headlines like this that will make you wonder when will Nigeria get to the promise land.
Educated Nigerians who can turn this nation around are working in banks, engineering establishments etc. But the touts (Agberos) are the once in government that's why you are hearing stories like this.

Whats d meaning of NDDC? I thot d NDDC was establish 2develop,d naija delta,not 2create or build pools. How can building swiming pool aliviate poverty in dat region? So d board controllin affairs in NDDC,cant tink of ways 2creat job employment for d NAija Delta youth. Dis is absurd!! Wat kind of leaders do we have in dis country.
