I have read many “charlatans” critisising hon.chibuike amaechi (now rotimi amaechi) for cancelling the contruction of the said institution. A nairalander by the moniker “tonyebarcanista” who has turned himself into an alter-ego of the now deleted account(barcanista) went as far as saying that the honorable minister shot himself on the foot and also insinuated that he is working against NIGER-delta(which is now purely a political name and not geographic in nigeria). firstly the term niger-delta has become a rather political way used by mainly ethnic izon/ijos in southern nigeria for gallvanizing,controlling,armtwisting other sounthern communities(niger-delta is actually riverine and marshland communities which are tributriers of river niger and not SS states or NDDC states). Mr amaechi cancelled the contract because of lack of funds and communual tensions in the area. Mr amaechi is nigeria minister of transport and not gbaramatu/ijo minister of transport,he is neither an ijo or itsekiri or urhobo/isoko nor delta-igbo. Some disgruntled individual are making threads on Nland about the relocation of delta state capital to warri,which on its own is the hight of sycophancy and rascality. I make bold to say here that if delta state capital is mischeivously moved from asaba to the restive warri area(uviwe,warri south,warri southwest etc) or even ugheli(isoko) this will altimately result in a break-away state of anioma(delta north senatorial district) which are over-whelmingly ethinic igbos,this new anioma state may decide to for-do with the old delta and join the SE states.... CC: lalasticlala seun mynd44 et al pls do this thread justice and nigerians will see that Mr amaechi is not to blame. THANKS

I love Amaechi but his reason is not convincing enough. Except he has other reasons that he has not mentioned. Nigeria needs more universities than the available ones. that was why Obasanjo allowed the proliferations of private universities under his regime which has cascaded to other regimes.

If his only reason is because Zaria has a similar institution to be upgraded to a university status, then to me, that is not convincing enough. We can have more than one of such school in Nigeria. Besides, it looks more related to Niger-Delta area considering the topography, than for the north.

This is my opinion.

I challenge any charlatan...

And your point is.......??

that nigerians should not hide under nider-delta acronym to discredit a logical government policy in the name of protecting a regional agenda

we should not condem what we know nothing about just because it affects my community

And what is illogical about the maritime university or is the location the problem, if so, how?

Does this your arguement apply to Universities of Agricultur & Colleges of Education?

NIMASA building a community institution for maritime studies under under ministry of transport just to have federal presence in a highly in-accesible area of southern delta state

those are independent instutitions not owned or surpervised by a parastatal like NIMASA

Is there anything wrong with maritime studies and is southern delta not part of Nigeria?

And agriculture & education, are they not courses like maritime/aquatic courses taught in already existing institutions like you said.

a government agency which the head is accused of corruption and mismanagement,who is building a university in his community in this authere period and you say government shouldn't cancel such projects?

luvinhubby:

And agriculture & education, are they not courses like maritime/aquatic courses taught in already existing institutions like you said.

my point is that the whole idea of ex-NIMASA DG and tompolo building this project in their community reaks of corrption

Leaders make decisions based on what's on ground , Even if there's not enough reasons , one reason that's good enough is that Tompolo and his boys already made a nuisance out of it

One person's greed will cost millions of kids and youths the opportunity to attend that school

is there anything wrong in upragrading the maritme school in "oron" to a. university as proposed by Rt.Hon amaechi?
why stretch nimasa beyond its "finacial elastic limit" just because u want to satisfy some "clanish interest"?

Is there anything wrong with having a maritime university in Gbaramatu Do we have only one institution for agriculture or education or do we have only one police college in Nigeria?

There is no need for a maritime academy in gbaramatu...
ORON already has, the already laid down facilities should be transported to oron in order to complete the school there why the rest should be auctioned and sold.

May whatever u wish the ND befall u and ur generation..

Op Ameachi was just been stupid.
If it was in the North no Northerner will do what he just did, after all he was the one who said Jonathan didn't do anything, Jonathan proved him wrong by establishing the institution but he Ameachi proved himself to be Greedy and senseless.

I dont wish bad for Niger Delta just facts warri is not safe for such, either they locate it in ph, akwa ibom or if possible imo or calabar.
Ppl way get mind attack shoprite.
Still get mind bomb pipeline.
We never even forget warri crisis we never know when another one fit start.
Even the one way nearly start during Gej tenure over pz project.
Una never serious.

anyone who thinks Nigeria currently has the resources (both academic and financial) to host a maritime university shud give it a long rethink

you don't get it at all... People get in to authority and their community become the only viable place to site institutions,facilities,and infrastructures

you made good point,why not facilitate the already existing one rather building another poorly funded one
