ibromish:

Amaechi has the WILL to turn Rivers to London but the Jesus christ of Okrika (JCO) won't let him,
destruction of waterfront to build SCHOOL (for Rivers indigenes not foreigners) became a hardluck for Faka J. how else do you want him to help you, if you won't ASK why much noise from JCO, Isn't education the BEST LEGACY?

Humphreydis: The last tym i saw Amechi on Tv he looks frustrated....see as d guy reduce finish...just fighting himself,why not concentrate on d governance of ur state....notin is improving in PH...absolutely notin!...ever since he stepped into office na one quarrel or d other,if no b im family members na GEJ...or his fellow Governors.....dats wat we get wen we vote a tug into office.

Sunny_bobo: If he so considers Nigeria's interest above that of his state or region, he should advocate for the abrogation of the 13% derivation revenue so that all the states of the Federation can share equally from the nation's resources.

Who is fooling who?

victorkc: It is now clear to me that Okonjo Iweala has been selling dummy to us deceiving us that all is well with the economy where as she knows quite well that all is not well, just to act out the script of the western world. What i know is that posterity will nver fail to judge all of them in the long run.[color=#006600][/color]

ochejoseph: Amaechi !!!!! I see pure Arrogance ,lack of Respect, Selfishness and Studpidity of the highest Order.
Just becos my Brothers in the North have offered You ZoBo plus or minus Fura da nono you have decided to sell your region .
Its a shame people like Amaech'i are allowed to speak at a University!

Amaechi May your wishes never come true

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

d citizen:
There is one question dat i need to ask ameachi what is the poverty rate in river states. Have ameachi solved all the problems in river state, the answer is no. It is only those dat donot know what governance is all about dat will be applauding what is doing in river. He is so arrogant and lack social decorum. The good pple of riverstate should do away with such leader dat ride on presidential jet where millions of river state indigenes are homeless. He shoud be ashamed of himself dat river state is a one city state. Why is developemnt not felt in other local governments. Am not expecting gej to turn nigeria into paradise into two if it is easy why has the northern hegemony will have rule and ruin this country for 38 years not turn this country into paradise with all the power at their disposal. One of the disadvantage of democracy is slow decision taking becos of debate on issues and wide consultation. It took american 1000 years to perfect their democracy hw old is our democracy ? And we want to become america overnait, what we need is patience and understanding. Everything in life has an expiry date. Gej is doing his best to position this country to a greater height. It is not easy to govern a country like nigeria with muilt-ethnic group and over 450 languages. The upgrading of international airport and seaport in the south-east region is strategic to the economic development and diversification. The perception of agriculture is changing becos pple now see agriculture as an investment instead of charity. Thanks to adesina, a season professional.What we need is structure at every region to encourage healthy competition and growth. In the next 2years, the coming of the national carrier will create massive job opportunities for nigerian as a whole. Our best of day is certainly ahead of us. Gej represent the epitome of uncommon leader in nigeria today

Symphony007: since ameachi became governor nothing has improved in rivers? Keep telling yourself that lie and maybe one day you'll belive it.

karl max: the abonima whalf water front he distroyed in his 1st year in office has he developed it and tuned it to london?

ddeola: At least, he has spoken his mind and the truth he wants to stand on. All those dancing around GEJ are NOT telling him the truth. By the grace of God, come 2015 Naija will be blessed with credible, reliable and honest leaders. Enough of mediocrity...

kokoA: He never exonerated himself from being part of d rot. As a political leader, he shouldn't b making statements capable of polarizing d already polarized country further. What's opposition to d president shuld not come from his s-south zone". So, d s-south ppl should keep pretending all is well since "their son" is president smh.

doctokwus: Eventhough amaechi may av selfish motives,now disguised in populist gear to oppose GEJ,one must take d positive from this:dat it has enabled d nation to get to know d rot in a system& d difference this time is dat names are being mentioned,& if for nothing,amaechi shd b praised because av never witnessed some one so bold enuf in d nigerian political sphere to directly mention names of his adversaries& tel dem to their faces what he does not like about dem& why he opposes dem.

Atouke: [b]Ameachi should learn from his political godfather/master odili whom he betrayed, that the Northerners that are smiling and trolling with him today will not stand by him when it counts they spurred Odili on and when it was time they dumped him. they will do same to him amaechi.

Of what gain is it to Amaechi to fight his south south brother and in law? even if you personally don't like him family decorum demands that you show him respect and get along after all every one of us have a family member we are not too warm towards.

he has extended his war fronts to include Uduaghan whom he pretended to be friends with initially, Ngozi iweala, Akpabio and jonathan all from his south south. am afraid it a lot of fronts to fight from especially when they are so close to home. Its good to have home support for any war you want to fight at least if you lose the war you have a supporting home+people to return to.

That said i like what Amaechi has done in terms of schools, and healthcare in rivers state and alos the 13,000 teachers he employed to staff the new schools. [/b]

eGuerrilla: bravo to amaechi,he is the first govt from the so call south south to say the truth about GEJ,they are corrupt leader,they should let us be,nigerians vote him in,now we say let my people go GEJ,this is not a do or die affair.

U dey mind these fools. Just this morning, I know what I went through on east west road.

porka: Ahhh!!!

This is treacheryyyyy!!!

Don't this guy have any older person he's looking up to assist him with his public utterances?

Have the northern and southwestern leaders urging him on seen from his own perspective on regionalism?

This is a very sad development.

Does he know that the 4billion naira 'left-over' of his state's July allocation is the total figure for the some states in those regions?

How would Gov Amaechi react when other regions start to clamour for equal share of the national resources, will he still maintain this myopic stance?

And he was even teaching this young minds the art of treachery?

This is sad! Someone must talk to this guy. It's getting out of hand.

This is not stubbornness, it isn't heroism, it's pure inexperience. Nigeria is too complex for this type of his thinking.

It was people from that region and many from the South West region that fought for the revenue derivation principle which enables Mr Amaechi to have access to 19b naira in July alone with only 6m people, while states like Lagos and Kano do not have access to half of that.

Does he know more than these people?

Why didn't they so much talk about being just Nigerian and not regions as he's saying here?

Or does he think you can on one hand be bothered about being Nigerian in terms of leadership at the centre and on the other hand being a SS or Rivers State when it comes to revenue allocation?

Both are contradictory.

What is he going to say to his friends and current admirers when they began to demand for more share of the revenue from his state? After all, we should all be equal.

Governor Amaechi, there are millions and millions of people who also think that Nigeria should just jettison these regional structure and focus on general developmental thinking.

But there are also millions and millions of people who feel otherwise. If you are doing this to your people today, what do you think people should do when they start paying you in your own coin?

Let me help you.
