One slowpoke just commented that Yaba in Lagos is bigger than bayelsa. What a lie from the pit of hell. Please you all need to be informed, Bayelsa is over two times bigger than lagos state as a whole. Go get your facts right!



Madame, I only picked this statement to make u realise that what the guy met was that Yaba LGA council is economically viable than bayelsa not in terms of land mass. Even with his stance, I still disagree that a LGA is richer than a whole state.

The intent of the journalist is clear as sunlight as his kind are known for that. It however does not diminish the failure of the past and present governments of the state. How on earth can someone justify the enormous amount of money received by the state over the years without any commensurate development to show for. It is a big shame. Majority of the minority states down south have not lived up to expectation given the amount of allocations they receive. Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta have been really disappointing. Most of the politicians there are thieves without single vision for their people. They don't deserve to be alive. Donald duke and Akpabio are the too men who tried for their states and will be remembered for it. Rivers state one of the oldest states still remains a one-city state after close to 50yrs. Shame! Its hightime the people of the ND changed their orientation about leadership and public service. It is totally disgusting that Bayelsa is borrowing to pay salaries. Shame.

Bayelsa that is not even as big as Yaba local govt area is supposed to be the most developed state in Nigeria given its size, small population and oil derivation they collect.

If jonathan has taken money illegally from CBN and use it to develop bayelsa to be like dubai, Nigerians would have pardoned him. But he was a vice president, acting president and president, yet his people don't have drinking water and passable road.

And he's busy telling the world that part of his achievement was that he meet dangote as the rishest man in Nigeria and when he got into power, dangote became the rishest man in Africa. Is that an aChievememt?


I was expecting him to list his major achievement as uprgrading his state to a world class city like dubai and china.




Even an helipad, he didn't build in his town, meanwhile, the man they call "dullard" has built an helipad in daura in his first 3 months in office.

I am witness to this. I travelled to Bayelsa to visit a friend two weeks ago and the level of economic hardship being faced by the people of that state is terrible and pathetic. I was told that the state governent is yet to pay salaries for about five months.

I am sorry to say this but Alamayeseigha destroyed Bayelsa state. In fact, Obasanjo and all politicians who ruled from 1999 to 2007 destroyed what was left of what Buhari, IBB Abacha had already destroyed.
Ipob Gmb was long out of office when the state was created get your facts straight before spewing nonsense.

You, on the other hand is an ethnic warrior from one erosion-ravaged village who see Yorubas in your dreams everyday. How can Bayelsa, a state with 8 LGAs (smallest civil service in Nigeria) compared with Osun with 30 LGAs and with Bayelsa among the top 5 states in this country in terms of federal allocations, unable to pay salaries for 5 good months even after receiving bailouts when they had no business to in the first place, and you expect the media to keep quiet about it or begin to roll drums of praise for the governor Dickson, just because the journalist happens to be from a region you hate. It shows your education is a waste and you're nothing but an empty head for such utterance.

Bayelsa has no single viable industry sector. Every big man just wants to get contracts and build hotels. Bayelsa produced a governor that could build a refinery in Brazil and houses in Florida which have been confiscated by the US govt. How such a state can be owing civil servants for 5 months is simply unbelievable. I am totally dumbfounded as to how Jonathan could have left his state in such an unbelievable mess.

I think anyone that has a bit of common sense would reflect on this.

May 1999 - December 2005 - Jonathan was Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state

December 2005 - May 2007 - Jonathan was Governor of Bayelsa state

May 2007 - May 2010 - Jonathan was Vice President of Nigeria

May 2010 - May 2015 - Jonathan was President of Nigeria


According to Wikipedia

Bayelsa State has one of the largest crude oil and natural gas deposits in Nigeria. As a result, petroleum production is extensive in the state. However, the majority of Bayelsans live in poverty. They are mainly rural dwellers due to its peculiar terrain and lack of adequate transportation, health, education or other infrastructure as a result of decades of neglect by the central governments, state governments, and petroleum prospecting companies. This has been a large problem in the state since its creation and successive state governments have not been able to address and repair the issue. The state, as a result, has an almost non-existent commerce.


Jonathan was given a decade and 4 extra years - Global oil prices were up - but the poverty of his own people seemed to worsen. To whom much is given, much is said to be expected. Much was expected of Jonathan - and he delivered nothing! Zero! Zilch! Nada!

I am convinced that Nigerians made the right decision to boot him out of office in 2015. If he couldn't change the life of Bayelsans, why could he be of any good to Nigerians as a whole?
Chai. There is God oo. Gej has been in bayesa politics since 1999, yet he couldnt do much. Even if he is given 100yrs he cant do anything fanstastic becos he has no plan for his people or nigeria.

The moment we can solve that problem first, then we all are ready. Mind you the only way Europe could solve theirs was by giving almost all tribe a country of their own. Some country in Europe is just 3million, some 2m. I hope u will understand where am heading to

This is the reason why Igbos in South south and South east want Biafra. We may have little differences but we understand each other better.

Why are APC supporters so hateful and deceitful. They are after bayelsa now.

A similar situation happened in Enugu, the moment the government declared Enugu airport free to fly to China

, USA etc, the lagos APC supporters rushed to the media and start writing thrash claiming the Enugu runway is bad. The airport I just landed yesterday that is in a perfect condition.

For the same reason the LAGOS APC political touts did every possible and boost Jonathan out for the single reason that he said he will build seaport for the igbos in onitsha. They beleive this will draw importers to onitsha against lagos.

Jonathan tried a lot in bayelsa, South south, southeast, South West, and most especially the north. A man of equity.

Apart from state government unable to pay workers salaries, the private sector is worst. Example, NNPC contract workers, have been last paid salaries since November.

Former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has given an insight into how corrupt leaders have looted Nigeria's treasury over the years. Okonjo-Iweala, who served in the last administration as Coordinating Minister of the Economy, revealed this in her book 'Reforming The Unreformable: Lessons from Nigeria'{originally published in 2012}. As excerpted from the book are 4 methods the former minister reveals leaders and public officials loot Nigeria's money:


CORRUPTION ON A GRAND SCALE: THEFT OF PUBLIC ASSETS BY HIGH PUBLIC OFFICIALS

"On September 15, 2005, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha(now deceased), (then) governor of the Nigerian state of Bayelsa, was who was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport and interrogated on allegations of money laundering by officers of the London Metropolitan Police's Specialist and Economic Crime Unit. From the airport he was taken to his home in the Paddington area of London. A search of the home resulted in the discovery of the equivalent of 920,000 pounds... In all, he was charged with laundering more than 1.8million pounds. He asserted his innocence. He was granted bail, pending trial. He then jumped bail and escaped from the UK disguised as a woman. He fled to Nigeria, where the constitution grants governors, presidents, and vice presidents immunity from prosecution while in office."



CORRUPTION FROM THE TOP: THEFT OF PUBLIC ASSETS BY A FORMER DICTATOR

"In August 2004, authorities in Switzerland accepted the argument of Nigeria's lawyers that an Abachar-run criminal organization existed whose purpose was to engaged in the looting and laundering of Nigerian public funds....In the five years of Abacha's rule, an estimated US$3billion to US$5billion of Nigeria's public assets were looted and sent abroad by Abacha, his family, and their associates. At the upper end of the range, the amount stolen is larger than the 2006 education and health federal budgets combined..


Of the amount stolen, more than US$2.2billion was carted away from the Central Bank of Nigeria in truckloads of cash in the form of foreign currency and travelers checks... Another classic method of corruption practiced by the Abacha criminal organization involved contract inflation. One particularly odious case was a Nigerian Family Support Program contract for Pasteur Merieux vaccines. The US$111 million contract was awarded to Morgan Procurement Ltd, a company belonging to the Abacha family. The true value of the vaccines was US$22.5million."



CORRUPTION FROM WITHIN: CORRUPTION BY FOREIGN COMPANIES AND THEIR DOMESTIC PARTNERS IN CRIME

"Nigeria is replete with accounts of such corrupt and corrupting behavior by foreign companies. Siemens, to its credit, admitted paying 10 million euros to Nigeria government officials between 2001 and 2004 to facilitate contract awards. Sometime in 1994, the TSKJ consortium made a bid to provide services to a US$12 billion LNG gas project in Nigeria. This initial bid was not accepted. ... In December 1995, TSKJ was awarded a US$2billion contract for the Nigerian LNG proect. Years later, evidence was produced that the TSKJ group had internally discussed making payments of about US$180million to various foreign accounts of Nigerian officials to help TSKJ obtain its lucrative contract."



CORRUPTION FROM THE BOTTOM: PRIVATE INTIMIDATION

"A systemic rot has befallen Nigeria's once-solid system of public tertiary education... Tales abound of public health workers asking for under-the-table payments for services and diverting hospital supplies, drugs, and equipment to the privae clinics. Nigeria is bedeviled by very poor provision of public services in education and health, largely because of corruption and undermining of institutions by a small percentage of the population."
