CNN Ridicules Governor Sylva

Gov. Sylva is not a very smart man by my own assessment.  In this clip below, he is tricked into showing off his expansive Governor's mansion not knowing the larger reason behind it was to compare in a documentary, political opulence with general poverty in the land.

Of what benefit is it that a Governor of an oil rich state should give attempt to show off his crib to the rest of the world?is he trying to tell them we have money?they already accuse us of mismanaging our funds. . all he did was to confir, it. . is he trying to show class or taste? ?they know we didnt build it. . the arabs did. . he was careless and reckless. . .he's suppose to show progress,infrastructure and betterment. . not opulence and corruption. . .

@ Spo-one:Youre absolutely right. . .these are the type of leaders that should be jerry-rawlined.

@ Babapupa: Spot on!

I guess he watches MTV and wishes he was jay-z. . .lol. . .I laugh at this people and their very silly actions

Moderator please move this to the tribalism section - sjeezy8 is in the house!

It's down the drain from here, on.

Mod please move to the tribalism section as suggested by $poOne since Sjeezy is ready to turn it to a tribal affair.

CNN are Wrong, dem dey talk lie. Gloryland Castle is a state tourism project. The house doesn't belong to Sylva.


"Our plan is to dove-tail the Gloryland Castle into the wider vision of Yenagoa of the immediate future, which will be a showpiece city for all Nigerians and the rest of the world to come and enjoy life with a lot to see,” he explained.

Perhaps in the next four years, Yenagoa will become one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria if plans afoot are anything to go by. An international airport is being constructed, specifically for cargo operations because Bayelsa is aiming to become the largest producer of paddy rice in Africa in partnership with Thai and Vietnamese experts. It also wants to become the largest producer of fish, in league with Israeli experts.

The airport will serve as a major import and export route when plans to redesign the state’s economy from oil and gas to agriculture, commerce and tourism come to fruition."

The state is also constructing a 32-kilometre dual express from the airport into the rear of the city where the new Yenagoa is springing up. The state’s 110 kilowatt electricity supply project is expected to switch on fully next year, making it more than self-sufficient in power supply."

Why are you defending the indefensible? Like Alamco said, "I did it to show that it can be done" not because the good people of the delta go benefit.

I agree - blame the 110 kw power project on a vanguard typographic error.

I am not defending anybody, I am merely saying that we shouldn't always see the worst in everything. Are the people of Bayelsa not deserving of such a monument or is that exclusive priviledge only reserved for Abuja?
Go anywhere in the world, the quickest way to regenerate an area is through the built environment. I'm praying that similar regeneration can take place in Ajegunle.

@ Larez.:You sabi book . .I hereby award you 'WORTHY EXPORT OF NAIJA', carry go!

This your come back is even worse.

You don take poll around the delta to ascertain that the delta folks will rather have this meaningless waste of tax payers resources instead of meaningful projects like schools, libraries, clinics, hospitals and jobs?

Of what use is your so called worthy monument when your people are lacking common basics and life's necessities?

Is this what  MEND is needlessly slaughtering innocent Nigerians for?

Your thinking get more than K-leg.

lol @Star of david.
Is the gov trying to say Gloryland brings 30Mil dols for the state or what 

Uhm.

I thought someone was playing him-o! But, that's for real, na be the governor be that.
