I actually did not call him a thief or did I. I only reminded people of his antecedence when he was chairman of Obior apor LGA.
On elections, apart from the SS, SE where there was large scale rigging, no other part of the country had that level of [b]blatant [/b]rigging IMO.

His first action will be to pay his godmother mama piss her share of Rivers money

3. Its time to take local content seriously. With the current structure of Nigeria, every region must maximise it manpower capacities. Oil and gas jobs for South southerners first before considering any other region.

Time to review the regional staff mix of these companies. If the southerers have to leave lagos then all the yoruba staff earning humongous amounts of money need to leave the delta region.

Wen oil block license expire ss/se should not have less than 60% of d blocs

Itz a must

amarilo:
That his antecedence can only be corruption and thug like behaviour. Corruption and thieving are the same according to you guys. Again when did we start to benchmark rigging? Rigging is rigging whether blatant or otherwise. What is bad is bad and when you support some cos its done by your people and abhor some cos its done by people you assume to be your enemy Nigeria will remain same.

Its wrong to blame a gov cos he is owning 5 months salary and praise another that is owning one month as many of you do here on daily basis.

Now that it's clear that APC has no place in Rivers politics after a whooping 1million votes difference. ... rivers people have spoken. No tribunal will be silly enough to upturn 1million votes.

Actions for Wike

1. In the first three weeks in office, we need to know how much is missing from the coffers of Rivers state under Amaechi. He should be charged straight to court for wasting funds meant to develop rivers state on bankrolling a presidential candidate.

We would be keenly watching to see how the anti-corruption president Buhari would afford to have an endemically corrupt Amaechi in his cabinet.

2. Just like Amaechi saw to the relocation of NLNG to rivers state from Lagos, All oil producing companies with majority of their fields in rivers state must relocate ALL offices down to rivers state from lagos state. 95% of their work forces should operate from their PH bases. These should include but not limited Shell, Agip, Septa, Total etc. This will greatly drive up the economy and development of rivers state.

I expect Delta and Akwaibom to follow suit in dragging back Chevron and Mobil to their operational basis

It is expected that once the IOCs relocate, all the service companies operating with them will follow suit.

belabela:


You can't dictate to foreign investors you can only appeal to them but I think this one will fall flat. Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria...every major business wants to be there

Flets:


You are wrong on this one ma'am.
You cant exploit the resources of louisiana and have 75% of your staff operating from texas.

There are many ways to go about it without saying it outrightly. You can come up policies that influence the tax and land use charges such that the local head count of the staff determines the how much gets excluded from their remittance.

In a case where the multinationals have true challenges, they can work with the govt to fix it.

But no sane multinational wants to be on the wrong side of its host government even when there is no incentive for such. They can run you out of business and double/ triple your operating cost.

belabela:


The host government here is the Federal Republic of Nigeria.... you see Rivers state does not award oil contracts in Nigeria it is all done through the Federal government via NNPC. Our fedearlism isn't that federal unfortunately. That is why Tinubu started screaming resource control those days when Obasanjo refused to pay Lagos state cos states don't control their resources in Nigeria.

So you cannot compare a US state to Rivers state.

Btw I am a man not a maam

Flets:


The host state is rivers state and PAYE tax goes to the state. That is what Rivers state is missing out when they domicile their staff in Lagos.

Federal powers end at the JV agreement and as long as the appropriate volumes are lifted and cash calls made
.... the state remains the host.

In a case where the multinational proves stubborn, the state govt and immediate community host could initiate hostilities that would run them out of business.

I repeat, no sane multinational will say no when there is no need to. If they have challenges, they can bring it up with the state for discussions.

Why did NLNG relocate to Rivers state when Amaechi insisted?

Paddy mi, y ve u decided 2 live in denial,ahahah, APC rigged dis election, 4rm all indication, Jimi won, didn't u hear of dat, they voted in oba's palace and in council in kosofe..my brother, mern! APC rigged, they even casted theirselves in my area, by fighting hard 2 deny Moyosore Ogunlewe, his position as house of assembly for kosofe constituency1 d guy won, buh the argument was dat he was 2 young

belabela:


It did not relocate because Ameachi insisted...he lobbyed. You can't bully investors by insisting they must stay in a location. There is more to the news "NLNG reopens PH office" btw it is not only Rivers state that supply NLNG's gas. Wike doesn't have any leverage at the moment to make things happen in this regard. He is in the opposition party and he does not sign contracts with oil investors. If he tries intimidating investors, then he will loose out.

Flets:


You are still not answering the question. You can call it lobby. ... or intimidation. Was there any role played by the state govt to the relocation of NLNG or they moved at will?

In this era of local content, the multinationals must comply or get frustrated out.

hahaha sparkle red I now bliv u live at Ojota/ Ogudu... mehn it was tough yesterday, dose Apc guys wit cutlass.. I m angry at wat dey did to ogunlewe...

belabela:


Have you asked yourself why Delta state or Akwa Ibom is not entitled to same?

The word local in the local content act means Nigeria not Egbema, Portharcourt or Omoku in Rivers state.

There is nothing automatic that the oil coys must be based in Rivers state.

sparkleRed:



My brother na so oo, u live @ Buhari den?

ratiken:


You are one intelligent dude.
In addition, Wike should liaise with other state governors to come up with some seaport somehow. Maybe the Intels ports partnership needs to be revisited.... Because Atiku should not ripping us in our backyard.

Enough of the dependence on Lagos ports. We must find a local solution.

Its time to see what is truly driving this lagos economy that the yorubas have been yapping about.

You voted in a confirmed tout instead of Dakuku because of your hatred for Amaechi, You'll soon be regreting your choice, that is if the tribunal does not save you from this mess.
