Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by deor03(m): 12:10pm On Aug 15, 2008 |
I turned on my TV now to see the Celebration of a colossal failure at 60. Trust, there are several speakers comparing him to the greats of Africa. If you were born today, you would have thought, he is Mandela's role model. I was so annoyed that i had to mute the TV, because i felt insulted and deceived. Instead of MEND disturbing Julius Berger or the expatriates in Niger delta, they had better face those that carried out the under development of the region. This was a governor that finance was NOT a constraint for him. The biggest problem was how to spend the allocation from the Federal government. The fool has not returned to Rivers State ( Dust-bin City ) since he left power, i wonder what kind of Legacy that is. Anyway, They say a fool at 40 is a fool forever. HE is now 60, i wish him more foolish years ahead |

deor03:I would rather wish him wise years ahead so he doesn't do 'foolish' things that'll harm Naija |

One of my friends just called me from Germany to tell me about this celebration of thievery. He was absolutely livid as he told me about the waste of funds. It's a shame that Nigerains dont go to such gatherings to protest about the waste of funds which were embezzled. |

A sycophant has written a piece attesting to Odili's 'good' governance. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/opinion/2008/aug/14/opinion-14-08-2008-002.htm why won't papers stop this nonsense. The writeup is filled with bullsh**t why won't MEND blow up that hall where that party is taking place? If it is to kidnap frightened oyibo, they will do it. MEND prove you are fighting for ND and attack our brothers that are sabotaging the region! |

It will be nice for anyone who's sensibilities have been offended to write to the following to find out how much Maximus Mba was paid in order to sing the praises of Odili. editor@sunnewsonline.com mikeawoyinfa@sunnewsonline.com dimgba@sunnewsonline.com tony@sunnewsonline.com Telephone : 015875560, 5875561, 5875562, 5875564.

When wrong cannot be condemned in public what message is being sent to citizens of the country both at home and abroad? Embezzle, mismanage, but share some and you will be celebrated? @ow11 at the end of the day you have to give credit to the skill required by the writer of the article you posted a link to, the writer was able to reiterate the greatness of the man called Peter Odili without ever actually stating in any substantiated way why such a character was great, that is one thing that i find irritating about a wide section of the Nigerian press - the lack of subtlety and finnesse to successfully sell cheap and worthless propaganda when they want to. 'Peter Odili is great, Peter Odili is great' without actually being able to point a finger at any solid and substantial achievement being made under that governorship. Well, i am irritated sure but far from surprised at the public celebration of such a figure when we consider that we speak of a nation whereby integrity and credibility is being sold nationwide at an alrming rate for a plate of rice and wrong doing or bad governance cannot be condemned but celebrated, what else do you expect? |

A quick email to the sunnews team will be done by me but I doubt if it will be replied to or even properly read. @skyblue That Maximus Uba who is probably looking to seal a job or contract through Odili's influence had d audacity to write about security left me speechless. Any body who lives in PH knows Odili was probably the originator of violence in the state. Even if I am to assume he had no role,he certainly did nothing to solve that problem.
Looking at this quote makes me sick to my stomach. |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by wiseguy(m): 4:49pm On Aug 15, 2008 |
The writer of that article is from Mbaise, Imo state. The home of Odili's wife. So, the maximus Uba is odili's inlaw. |

Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by lucabrasi(m): 11:53pm On Aug 15, 2008 |
i saw it on ait intern as well and i was genuinely shocked at the amount of accolades,ill have thought someone like him will have gone low keyed and maybe concentrate more on charitable stuffs,but they treated him like mandela and he was even proud enough to read a silly n stupid speech,i just pity his children, thats all im sayn unless they stat to do some restitution n heir family's behalf |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by ifyalways(f): 12:30am On Aug 16, 2008 |
Its not a new thing.It seems its in our culture to celebrate thiefsĀ Pity.i wish the celebrant more years,He MUST live to reap from his works,good or bad. |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by otokx(m): 10:42am On Aug 16, 2008 |
I hear odili has a major stake in AIT |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by obandy: 8:30pm On Aug 16, 2008 |
My surprise emanated from the fact that the same senators that came on a legislative inspection a few months ago and where asking what ODILLI did with the 8 years allocation given to him by F.G. where the same people shawering praises on him yesterday. GOD PUNISH ALL OF THEM FOR THE COMMON MAN. |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by DisGuy: 1:48pm On Aug 17, 2008 |
otokx: no wonder! but why aren't other (private) media houses berating him and his associate? seems even the so called opposition enjoy a party or two with these thieves! dudu-bobo:you wan die? do you know policemen in nigeria get a promotion each time they kill a 'suspect' |

Dis Guy: If there is real suffering in Nigeria, the people will not mind being killed/sacrificed to make the Nation better. The nations enjoying now did not get there without some people making sacrifices |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by lucabrasi(m): 1:43pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
dont dump this on ait,they are a private business and the man has bent over backwards to make the station unbiased in reporting,the fact that these politicians come with money for airtime doesnt mean odili has a stake in ait, how much did any of us here make in donations when the man was almost going under years back??he is running a business and if ibb or abacha s family offer money for airtime tmorro,its their constitutional right of free expression and he ll collect their money |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by palmwine(m): 2:25pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
In Nigeria some people have to the economy into their own private company. Dont be shocked by our Senators behaviour.The SENATE is filled with filt. They stood by Iyabo Obasanjo, gagged that police man who wanted to point to 419 senators. Now they are singing Odili's praise! YAK!! God help Nigeria. |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by angel101(f): 4:49pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
lucabrasi: If he's running a biz he shld by all means go ahead and run it. suggesting that anyone donates to his biz is nothing short of ludicrous! how many ppl have donated to ur biz? I know no one has donated to mine. |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by lucabrasi(m): 9:03pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
angel101:what im saying is that,some years ago when he was broke and needed some money to revive ait,he was crying for people to help him out ,seeing as some people are on here saying he should be the people's defender and not do any business with corrupt politicians, it was in that context that i made the comment,the moral of my comment is that if people want him reject money from corrupt politicians then they should show alternative means ait will make money not castigating the man and making false accusations, |
Re: Hurray! Dr Peter Odili Is 60! by Ibime(m): 9:25pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
Odili ran Rivers State like someone who is not part of us. . . .the truth is, he never cared much for the Riverine people. . . . he shares more common interests with his Ibo brothers. . . .he set a horrible precedent in Rivers State. Former Governors like Alfred Diete-Spiff and Rufus Ada-George would be disgusted with the level of corruption, sadism, irresponsibility, thuggishness he instituted. . . . Dr Dima Fiberesima will be turning in his grave. . . . Odili is an uplander from Igboid Andoni. . . thus, he never cared for the Niger-Delta struggle. . . . people do not understand that Rivers State is split between the Igboid uplanders and the Ijaw of the riverine. . . . . . Odili's way of doing business is alien to the typical Rivers man. . . . . his style is more Arthur Nzeribe than Asari-Dokubo. |
