Which stupid great book is this m0ron quoting here?

Keep shut and fvck off here if you can't control your emotion...

If you have no clue to what the thread is all about...just simply log off and go and prepare for Monday hustling

ogb5:

this thread is about bashing the people of bayelsa state as if your state is better.
Idiots like you will not remove the big scales covering your eyes before wanting to prove you know the problems facing others.

If you are so proud of the achievement of your governor why not say what your stupid governor has done, let's tell you what he has failed to do with free money he collects monthly that has made you lazy and unable to reason on how to contribute to the federation.
compound fool

django1: Seriously, what did Jonathan do in that state? Where are his projects?

Billions of dollars, yet nothing to show for it.

Ministry of Niger delta, what have they done?

NDDC what are they doing in Bayelsa?

Demdem:

Nop its not. We want to rejoice with bayelsans knowing fully well that they are experiencing real democracy dividends.

take dat: Things are happening in Bayelsa. 163 Bayelsans are gainfully employed as political aides to the governor, others have been appointed into the committee on rumour mongering, their son is the president, the godfather of Bayelsa politics was granted amnesty and 10,000 persons recently renounced cultism and are now enlisted as political thugs. What more can Bayelsans ask for?

ba7man: Dude, you don't seem to get it. When asked for evidence of different States eg. Edo, Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Akwa-Ibom, Enugu, Rivers etc.....No matter how these States were "bashed", they was still some evidence that work was in progress......But we have nothing on Bayelsa State, one of the States with the largest population/allocation ratio....Of course, people are bound to get curious.

ogb5:

If you want to know what is happening in Bayelsa and you see nothing in the news, why not take a trip to the creeks in bayelsa and see things for yourself.

IT is not the governor who pays the most praise singers that is actually the best governor. Do you know the number of best governor award Odili got while he was governor of rivers state? where are the structures odili left in Rivers state today?

Beyelsa is developing at their pace, If you can develop your state a a faster pace, good for you.

We will all be happy if we see the Yoruba man turning his cocoa into chocolate and exporting premium chocolate to the whole world.
Likewise if the Hausa man is able to keep his cows in a ranch, can his beef and sell Corned beef globally we will be happy for him.

So go to your state and prevent your state governors from looting your treasury instead of trying to prescribe medicine for others that you have not been able to take to cure the corruption going on in your state.

Odenigbo Aroli: Let's keep tribalism and bigotry aside,Bayelsa is still very much a new state. They have had their ups and downs and are still going through some political maturity. I really believe the state will blossom with time. Caught 'em a slack.

Luckily, I arrived Yenagoa after enduring a harrowing journey on the road. Again, nothing has really changed in Yenagoa. The entire town looked like a glorified village in dire need of development. It will not be out of place to refer to the capital of Bayelsa as a slum. This is coming 15 years after its creation and 13 years of democracy which has produced four governors, one of whom is the current President. This is not to mention billions in federal allocations that had accrued to the state in the 13 years of democracy.
[b]
Adjoining streets in the state capital were not more than miles stretch of sandy paths that merged into massive stretch of creeks. The only visible edifices in the entire town are the Creek Haven Government House and the State Secretariat. Along the Mbiama Road are derelict houses not befitting of a capital of a major oil producing state. Walking round the town, scores of abandoned projects litter the landscape. Emerging slums proliferating rapidly like sea weeds compete for space with few houses. The few decent houses in town contrast to the shanty dwellings and shops lying on much lower grounds by both sides of the road. The town’s major structures are constructed on land reclaimed from the swamps. Yenagoa strikes one more like a town being resolutely robbed of its character; a town growing without urban planning.

For a first-time visitor, what will forcefully unearth Yenagoa’s palpably unnatural guise are the slums that sandwich the town, hapless, luckless villages lying forlorn in the creeks, abandoned by its greedy leaders who have mismanaged its oil wealth for years. In Yenagoa, like many other Nigerian cities, there is a wide gap between the opulence of politicians, government officials, former militants and their hangers-on. The paradox is evident in the growing slums. It is indeed a sad and lamentable contrast. As soon as you step into the town, you can at once feel the poverty. Young hungry-looking children run after blaring convoys in expectation of crumbs thrown at them by politicians and former militants, now awash with amnesty money, riding in state-of-the-art cars. Elderly women stand along the road looking hungry and pitiful. This is in sharp contrast to the obscene wealth, and provocative lifestyle displayed by the politicians. The screaming noise from endless convoys in the small town adds to the oppression of the hapless dwellers

It is difficult not to feel the disappointment of missed opportunities. The paradox of a state with immense potential for growth held down by greedy and myopic leaders is too much to bear. But the tragedy of the oil rich state is the metaphor of the Nigerian situation. The truth is however, undeniable. A state that is producing most of Nigeria oil wealth has no business being poor. Its people also have no business with poverty. The present day Yenagoa is an affront to the nation, a scar on the nation’s conscience, and a shame to its oil wealth. It is what makes Nigeria the sixth producer of oil in the world. The plight of poor Bayelsans, who are made to bear the brunt of corrupt leadership, should be the major concern for its leaders. And, Nigerian leadership as a whole.

In other climes, Yenagoa would have been transformed into a modern global capital comparable to amazing places like Dubai or Abu Dhabi. These are destinations where oil wealth has transformed the lives of ordinary citizens. Oil wealth has turned those cities into global tourist destinations. Yenagoa deserves the status of a capital of a state endowed with oil wealth. The task before the current governor, Seriake Dickson, must be the determination to bequeath a legacy of development to the state. It is sad that 13 years of democracy has not brought that needed development and a “breath of fresh air” to the state. Now is the time to reverse this ugly trend. That the Nigeria’s current president, Jonathan, is from the state and Niger Delta also places a moral burden on the region’s leaders. Does the President not feel bad when his friends and international visitors pay his home state a visit to behold the state of under-development? Does he ever plan to retire to the state when his tenure ends? Or, will he decide to live in Abuja while visiting the state like most former Niger Delta leaders do with relish? It has become imperative for him to put pressure on leaders in the state to heighten the rate of development. This also must be the case in all Niger Delta states where huge allocations have not transformed to development.

Back to my visit, I left the state with my taxi riding behind the wailing convoy of an obscure politician, who obviously has chanced on money, who dropped some naira notes from the windows of his car while some youths fought themselves to a fit to get at the flying, crisp notes.[/b]

Eko Ile: ^^^^^^^^^


A very sad and disappointing read..

Mieye007: Yeah, no pictures for your hate-filled eyes to see. If want to see things for yourself, take a trip to yenagoa and fill you hypermyopic eyes with all the images and pictures you need. Na by force to show you picture? If you're truely interested, then you should emulate Labaran Maku who visited 36 states to see first hand whats going on. Dey there dey look for pictures.

Crassus: 2 pages no picture!
