McLuhan: I find this whole Amaechi brouhaha slightly nauseating. Why should the Nigerian press be so fixated on Amaechi to the exclusion of other issues that are worthier of public interest? Who or what is Amaechi that he (or it) should be the subject of public discussion in a country whose educational system has collapsed? Is the fate of one contumacious politician more important than the plight of the countless millions of Nigerian women who die at childbirth? Or can we equate the foibles of our political class with the urgent need to save a sinking, sunken nation? Why do we prefer to fiddle while Rome burns? We may just wake one day to find that the chance to save Nigeria had slipped away while we allowed ourselves to become enthralled by the beguiling soap opera of an irresponsible and ultimately irrelevant political class. For God's sake, Amaechi, or whatever he calls himself, is a speck of dust in the Nigerian firmament. Nigeria's destiny - the destiny of its people - supercedes the punctilios of any single politician, no matter how important. And that, with due respect,includes Goodluck Jonathan himself.

walahi u don't sound to me like u r slightly nauseated. U r V V angry.

i dey laugh and at the same time shaking my head coz of the level of ignorance in this country many think they are in full awareness of politics and what is going on in the country but they know nothing this amaechi jonathan saga is just a plan to destroy this so called apc and if apc cn't look into diz it's already destroyed on arrival we nigerians know the truth but like to devaite 4rm it APC still have better things to offer nigeria than this so called PDP though am not an APC fan let's be wise i know no matter how good a govt may perform some ill nigerians will alwayes do not see any good thing in such govt let's change our taste and give APC a trial and if they fail we can always remove them through our vote if we vote in this PDP again come 2015 then we shouldn't complain of the aftermaths as we cause it by ourselves let's stop castigating good goverments ONE NATION GOOD PEOPLE NIGERIANS LET'S BE WISE

apologies to d president nd d 1st lady. Wetin concerned first lady inside pdp issue. Oauah go straight to ur point... By d way for infor ameachi is better than ur ogas in the ss region

Anybody on this forum dat has insulted the president and has kald him demeanin names is rather too childish or dull to mak comments.we shuld learn to criticize constructively.every1 is entitled to his or her opinion even against d president,bt d sacrosanct and previleged position he occupies forbides any1 from lodgin insults on him.plz lets all take note

Gov Amaechi is very BIG THIEVE. Rothief- thief has finally secured a court injunction restraining The leadership of PDP to investigate and audit its elected officers What a shame from our uselrss and hopeless Judiciary... This is exactly what Amaechi wanted to use the current CP Mr Mbu to arrest and intimidate his Political enemies but the gallant officer refused that is why he is sponsoring cult activities in the state right now. Just to discredit the CP, we the true Rivers people will counter whatever demostration the arrogant Gov wants to embarked on..... But one thing for Gov. ROthief-thief will surely lanquish in jail via its mono- rail project in the state.... GOD bless Rivers State and Naija.

Can you hear the shamesless bottom-lickers?

abokinside: Yeah Jonathan and his gang will be focused because in prison you dont have too much distractions. So while they are cooling off in Kuje prison they will have enough time to read aboutt the good governance going on in the country under APC.

*pours water* wake up bro. Stop day dreaming

PHIPEX: I don't know why I find it difficult to believe that Jonathan and Amechi are fighting, I see this as perfect strategy by the president to win 2015 election. Amechi gradually warms his way into the new mega party, gets a juicy nomination and turns around to become a perfect mole for the president. On the eve of the election he'll return to his "umbrella home" and will be received with fanfare as a prodigal son of the Niger-Delta by then APC would be in confusion and the election will go as expected. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's what I've chosen to believe; Jonathan and Amechi are playing chess with APC.

If Amechi and Okorocha are eyeing same VP nomination then common sense will tell us that one or both of them will return disappointed and will cause confusion in APC.

God bless you bro, u think de same way I do.

abokinside: Really! So These guys came all the way from Porthacourt to apologise on Ameachi's behalf. I thought if someone or a group of persons are coming to see the president that the agenda for the meeting will be stated, so actually on the agenda its stated "Rivers PDP on apology visit" or what? Pls help me somebody cos I dont get it. Is the president actually busy with any seruous work? To have time for such frivolities? What in the world have we done to deserve such inept, clueless and lazy cleptomanic leader.

Ops ur just hating but y not wait until u become President so that when Elders from ur own region visits u,U tell them ur busy that they should go back.
Useless ranting i do not blame u,i blame freedom of speech!

simpleseyi:

Yes, Jona has time for such shameful visits because apart from looting our treasury, his other job in Aso-rock is drinking ogogoro and alomo with cassava bread together with his bag of beans alike wifey.

It's quite funny that any yoruba person would call another man's wife a bag of beans. Have y'all ever taken a look at your moms? Lol.

At least the president's wife can be classified as a clean bag of beans. I don't think same could be said about your moms.

Bunch of thugs raised on being insultive and no home training.

If u dont know how to speak english, why not use ur local dialect? Its "tip" not "ticks" and its "iceberg" not "icebulk". #SMH for d way some people use english lang

What is the offence of this Amechi? In what factual way did he actually fight or offend the president and his wife? I need to know because i can't find any.

Have u seen this so called minister of state for education tall, eehm was dat his name nyesom wat, he talks like a thug.....
He shuld b there shouting like an abero wit that his oily face, while the nations educational system keeps crumbling.

Useless sets of people....



Apologizing on behalf of amaechi. I don't know when it is now becomes an insult to stand firmly and refusing to bow to pressure.


They are even apologizing to dame patience jonathan....clowns indeed.


Abeg, make gej give dem money quickly.

We all know money is all they need and that's wmy they went all the way to abuja to spew rubbish.


Joblesness is a serious problem indeed

[quote author=omenka]“Unfortunately, he has repeatedly rebuffed every
effort by us and well meaning Nigerians to make him
show remorse and respect for the office of the
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Mr.
President Sir, we sincerely apologize to you and the
First Lady on this sad situation,” he added.

Mr. Obuah said residents of Rivers State were not in
support of the actions of Mr. Amaechi against the
president.
“We appeal that as the saying goes, ‘you do not visit
the sin of the father on the son’ and implore your
Excellency to remember us in prayers".


God Forbid!!! Tufiakwa!! If my dad licked anyone's as$ this way, I would disown him!!

"Apologise to you and the first lady"!!! God Forbid!!
This is utterly unbelievable![/quot

You are a fool and a fool u will be forever

wike or who they call him asup and ASUU are on strike and ur job is to discuse PDP and ameachi dat is always de problem of our selfish leaders in. nigeria

abokinside: Yeah Jonathan and his gang will be focused because in prison you dont have too much distractions. So while they are cooling off in Kuje prison they will have enough time to read aboutt the good governance going on in the country under APC.

Don't you get? There will be no Nigeria with GEJ in 2015.

English is not his mother tongue, will you insult a Russian for making such mistake?

I SUPPORT JONATHAN:IF Amaechi is president will he tolerate disrespect from a governor. People who dared even governors have gone to great beyond.

frankyychiji: who won the most votes in lagos during d last presidential election? I guess u think its ribadu. Woteva grips ameachi has in rivers is highly wittled down now. D guy is on life support now. Howeva, junior I tink u shd go to bed now. Oya hanlele!

since the majority here will rather work with empirical knowledge which I believe is the right thing to do, the thought of Jonathan winning 2015 doesn't sit well with me. I will rather wait as things unfold. And just for the record, I'm probably old enough to father you.

Praise Singers will never cease. Let the President snatch Obuah's wife and you will see where real loyalty and apology lies

oxford:

you ignorance about Naija politics is large. Where to I start from?
OK, take this. Kano is a traditional PDP state. If APC succeed in convincing Kwankwaso, that does not translate to convincing all the Kanawas. The same apply to Rivers.

Amaechi is disconnected from the political grassroot of his state (unlike Wamako)by reasons of his loud mouth and only-me-is-right attitude. Amaechi is non entity as far as rivers politics of today is concern. He is a fading star. Wike is now the rising star. My advice is: Never pinned your fate on a fading star. Thank you

kano is traditional pdp in what sense, because pdp took over in 1999 and lost to anpp before coming back to power after 8 years?

You have your views and I have mine, the fact that I have a different view does not make yours ignorant. Wike can not be a rising star from abuja and I do not believe Amechi has lost control of grassroot in his state.

All these talks are just empty arguments, we should wait until 2015 and see things for ourselves.

Try to ask your father how many times he does it in a day at work. The answer will surprise you
