Billygee2u:

What do you mean by ,That's true? governors ,senators,reps,ministers,local government chairmen,councilors,commissioners etc.how many of them you use their money to better Nigerians?
I see that you are just a noise maker,you are blind and deaf that you do not know about OBJ,IBB,Achike Udenwa,Tifnubu,Uzor Kalu,Buhari etc.
You love Nigerians right? If you love Nigerians,you can start doing something to change the way things are in Nigeria,by starting a revolution.
Is your life worth more than those Egyptians that rose up against their government?
Tompolo staged war with his life to let the world hear their crying.you can do better than that ,ok?

You are a slowpoke and Billygoat.

Rewarding criminality has far reaching implications for national security and healthy nationhood than your blockhead can decipher. That is why all well-meaning individuals are concerned.

Your follishness is your bane.

IGBO-SON:


^^^Inasmuch as this story leaves a bad taste in the mouth, how different is this Tompolo guy to the thieving politicians, born-to-rule cabal, thieving contractors and lazy/jobless quota-system enabled civil servants (that spend a greater part of the working day cutting deals)?

It's his turn to chop, and those that have been chopping since the late 60s ( wearing the unmerited garb of respectable gentlemen) shouldn't begrudge him his own share abeg!

I tend to overlook all this b'cos anyone acting all holier-than-thou and taking umbrage at his latest acquisition need to first ask what kind of setup do we have in Nigeria that leads to the emergence of a 'Tompolo'; but to do this they first have to dislodge their block heads from the sand!

Tompolo carry go abeg.....na your oyel money be that bros......enjoy am!

tompolo jet is not the issue at hand na today dem dey buy jet for this country? whn dis country was pondered by those who felt ruling najia is thier birth right "hell was not let loose" but na that gej dey power dem nor won let d man drink water put for ground. i tell una my peo if gej say today say "i nor contest again" all the holabalo go stop. najia na for all of us leave d ma GEJ make e run na him constituional right, if he fails so bi it "" wey our PTF monie i beg una leave mata before una over blow issues make una let common man get peace for dis najia i beg una.

Its clearly seen that naija his heading for an abysmal doom & wait to see that happen. But we all from the ND should know that the poverty rate in this region is still very high, Atleast we use this opprtunity to assist ourselves and build this region quickly before power shifts rather some people who claim to be fighting the injustice are buying private jets. Where is the airport in Niger delta that he can lands or take off with it? And some of u are applauding him on it. Common sense isn't actually common.

If it so that an ex militant buying private jet is ok then you guys should also let Boko haram be. They're also fighting for their rights or injustice and they also have to buy their own jet. Naija has been configured for self destruction, God has left this country very long ago.

if only u can appreciate the issue facing the country...there seams to be a deluded thinking that GOVT of this country has a bottomless pit of unending money..and the problem with spending it is corruption...

i take a very different view, i.e the govt has very limited resources and has to seriously priotise activities it can carry out. The limited resources contraint is further amplified by d fact that d country is running a systm that encourages laziness and corruption.
Very little will be achieved is such a system depending on central sharing instead of component productivity.

in a.different time or environment, i woildnt have minded the critisizm of tompolos jet, but when it is driven by selfish motive to have their hands on oil belonging to others. then we have to agree that there is more to such topics than meet the eye

dakashfirenow: If it so that an ex militant buying private jet is ok then you guys should also let Boko haram be. They're also fighting for their rights or injustice and they also have to buy their own jet. Naija has been configured for self destruction, God has left this country very long ago.

whats stoping them from buying jets? if they can use their know how to raise funds funds for the jets, who and why will they be stopped,
until u realise that oil is.not the birth right of every nigerian, u will keep being is perpetual delusion

great1:

Well, the best way to pay back all those who have robbed Nigeria is to Assassinate them 1 after the other.... If only Boko Haram had made this their cause, they would have gained momentous support from the masses.

In China people like Femi Fani-Kayode, Otedola, Farouk Lawan, IBB, OBJ, Timi Aliabe, James Ibori, Lucky Igbinedion, Peter Odili, Mbadinuju, Chime, Yerima and many other Thieves yet to mention and also that aged thief called Bode George will not even be alive nor have a say in the newspapers, their copses will be displayed in town squares as a warning other would-be thieves..

Agbaya! Leave dem na their turn, make dem enjoy. Why is it paining u dis much? And why are u taking it too personal? Without being told, don't u know that everything abt Sahara is Junk and fake? I didn't even bother reading the post after I saw the source.

I can't stop laffing at people's comment.

Get rich or die trying d Nigerian mentality what am i even doing in d uni when an ex militant without a degree is having a private jet anyway Tax payers money in action End time tins

@Policewoman you disappoint me becos u used to come off as someone very intelligent. So is it now our Oyel or Tompolo's oyel because what I see is these ND areas still riddled with poverty while pple like tompolo and Asari buy mansions and Private jets. You see, when the Qataris found money from oil, they used the money wisely for education, tourism, trade and other investment in their region but what sort of investment is an uneducated tompolo engaging in other than violence and militancy? And uttering statements like GEJ must be president by fire by force. GEJ's days are numbered in aso rock.

Buying a plane no be beans. No be like tokunbo cars wey u fit jump start. Servicing alone 100's of thousand of dollars if not millions. Money miss- road no dey buy jet. The oil money has to be flowing consistently once the thing dry u have had it.

Are you a learner.? Wetin con-sign militancy with education, tourism or regional investment.?

Tompolo had an agenda from the beginning, we are simply seeing it now. Nonetheless, you cannot hold him responsible for the rot in Nigeria. This madness has been there before he was born.

If you want to hold anyone responsible. I suggest you hold the men and women that oils the engine of corruption when they abuse the privilege of their offices. From past bastards to the present ones.

carzola: Chai... Nigeria una like to fall hands, how would i explain this to my white friends..

Don't bother, your 'white friends' stole more than those militants!

I always knew militancy was lucrative..... Just couldn't learn warri pidgin so as to blend in...... Besides I blame my parents.... They didn't have the foresight to train me in the militant way.... Instead sent me to nursery school

unmask: I always knew militancy was lucrative..... Just couldn't learn warri pidgin so as to blend in...... Besides I blame my parents.... They didn't have the foresight to train me in the militant way.... Instead sent me to nursery school

They are still recruiting.

I think you are over reacting here, don't link the foolishness of Mr Tom polo, with the official business of the presidency who had acted in good faith,all because the President is from the same Geopolitical zone with him.
The writer of this article is a very dishonest person who could not but hide his hatred for the president in this distorted piece of garbage, meant to incite the public against Dr GEJ and the teaming law abiding, poverty stricken good people of the Niger Delta.
Am I not one of the sons from that Zone? What have I benefited, in spite of my well disposed position in terms of education,social and economic status, in the society? Nothing.
GEJ is not the God of this Nation, and let no one therefore, ever think of replacing him with his or her brother who will tomorrow, turn his or her table of economic misfortune, the other way round.
I don't turn off the content of what is inside the spoon,because of what is at the back of the spoon.The earlier the educated elite of this great Nation stops celebrating Mediocrity in the guise of Wealth, the better it shall be for all of us.

What an encouragement for other people to become militant? may the good God be our guide.

eagle,eye:
Na dia oyel money.......team One Nigeria

Niger delta militants are criminals...
they are fighting for their personal gains.

abeg make una answer me... did Mandela buy private jet after fighting for the change in south Africa?

EFCC wr una dy?

DaLover: The truth is, Tompolo may or may not have made his money in the best way possible, like Jesus once said, let him without sin cast he first stone.
Looking across the terrain of the country, I can beat my chest to say that 98% of billionaires in this country can attribute their wealth to oil from the 9ja delta...and majority of them are because they were close affiliates to the military boys who controlled power through the gun...

So to a newbie to this topic or someone ignorant of the real issues, why is there so much emphasis on the ND militants who have made money?
The fear of the 9ja deltan insisting on the resource control fight and the over dependence on oil by the SW and the Core north,
The SW press have realized that by constantly focusing attention on the rich militants, the propaganda will be strong enuf to destroy the desire of the average 9ja deltan to fight for true resource control, the strategy is simple, play up the negative aspects of the struggle in the media and play down any positives...

I saw somewhere that if you keep telling a big lie long enuf, it seams to become true, even to the person or people being lied against.

Like I have always said, and keep saying, education is a means to an end, the end being a developed society, it isn't Enuf to laf at the 9ja deltans that they are not educated, it would also be nice for this country to begin to benefit from the much touted well educated resources of the SW. If put to proper use, can generate much more money that oil, which is presently driving the media in the SW crazy with tompolos money.
fact: Israel with no oil or natural resource and a population of 6mllion people, generates about $100b in revenues, same as nigeria with a population of 150 million.
The population of the SW maybe at least 35million can definitely do better than over reliance on 9ja delta oil, and who and who in the 9ja delta is buing planes or not.

u missed the point. niger-deltans deserve better treatment, ALL of THEM not only militants. the northerns military guys whi once controlled the oyel money did the samething- entriched themselves to the detrement of poor majority. we want a change, let ND poor also get a share of the money.

DaLover:

Start right now, let us benefit from ur education, remember oil money was used to provide free and subsidized education for the SW.
Just as it is impossible for a bully to continuously prosper from taking forcfully from others,
The Nigerian nation cannot prosper by forcefully denying the minorities of their resources.

Every war or battle will have people that will profit, this does not and should not distract from the original struggle, which is freedom to exploit your God oven resources.
If asking for resource control annoys you to the extent that u which to leave he union, no wahala.

u r a misguided fellow, few ND elites r enriching themselves to the detrement of poor majority nd u r celebrating? the poor guys in ND should be the ones to enjoy these monies not thugs and abuja guys, we r not denying the fact that ND deserve better then what they get now but it shouldnt be like what the northers did-money in the hands of few individuals.

U r the one missing the point, while I am aware that few militants have made money from the 9ja delta struggle, my point is, the struggle must still continue.
My aim here is to point out the real intentions of those who keep bringing the rich militants to our attention,
For ignorant ones, it may seam they are trying to help the 9ja deltans, but in truth, their aim is to damping the moral of those who insist on fighting on.
Day in Day out we are subjected to a media blitz on how Tompolo had made money by these people, if these people claim to love the9ja deltans so much, then they can channel one tenth on their energies to a media blitz on resource control, stoping the laziness inducing payments called resource sharing.
You forget that it is the prevailed structure that allows few people to illegally enrich themselves at the expense of the majority, lets turn the structure around and put a structure in place to ensure that hardwork and ingenuity create wealth for people.

joker5180: u r a misguided fellow, few ND elites r enriching themselves to the detrement of poor majority nd u r celebrating? the poor guys in ND should be the ones to enjoy these monies not thugs and abuja guys, we r not denying the fact that ND deserve better then what they get now but it shouldnt be like what the northers did-money in the hands of few individuals.

Joker, stop preventing to be oblivious of the real issues, where am I celebrating, why should I be focusing on the symptoms when the cause of the problem is clearly there for wise people to see?

Exactly how do you even expect the mass poor people in the 9ja delta to enjoy the monies? By govt sharing or by govt allowing the people to optimize the exploitation of their resources for their benefits

For those of u dat still think breaking up d country will benefit d masses...

Keep Jonzing.

HMMM NICE ONE BY YOU

Well,my own be sey hope he no go drive am himself?

?

When looking at the situation from a civilised perspective you would be forced to conclude that sadly this contraption called Nigeria CANNOT be saved. We are too far down the route to destruction...and deep down the wise ones amongst us know it...though we may not say so.

When Nigerians in diaspora say it here they get attacked. Too bad...

On the other hand when looking at the same situation from a typical Nigerian perspective (see Billygee and Billionaires comments) then apparently there is no problem at all. Nigeria is the best country in the world.

Good luck to you all.
