MrTruth4real:

I would have prefer if ibori was president, no matter how ibori loot reach, he must do something for his people, look at ogara for example, good road, western Delta university, and delta state teaching hospital, which is the best hospital in delta. But gej ordinary road from warri to port Harcourt he couldn't complete in six yrs.

GOVERNOR Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa State has expressed
dismay over the practice of selling employment slots to
non-indigenes by youths of the state at give-away prices.
At an interactive session with the Bayelsa State Elders
Consultative Forum, the governor lamented the
development, saying "it is saddening to note that indigenes
of the state are selling their employment slots in reputable
companies at give-away prices of between N20,000 and
N70,000."
The governor, who gave a graphic description of the
thinking of an average Bayelsan, noted with sadness that
they wanted everything free, bearing in mind that the state
remains the only state throughout the federation where the
electricity is generated free.
His words, "An average Bayelsan has also believed
erroneously that we have money and that is why they want
everything for free. In the education sector we pay nothing.
The craze now is that everybody wants their children to be
sent abroad by the government for free. In the health sector
we pay for nothing, everybody is expected to be treated for
free.
The electricity we produce is for free. Even nobody wants to
work; they prefer handouts. "When I first came as governor,
my belief was very different.
My belief was that if you create jobs, people benefits from
those jobs. And one of the things when I came in was that I
paid all contractors that were on site. I paid N900 million
and we decided to complete all on-going projects before we
plan new ones.
"The idea was to stimulate the economy so that our people
can do small jobs. And I was happy when I paid the money
and there were many people working on the site. I went to
those sites personally because there were still a lot of
complaints on the streets on Yenagoa.
sites personally that more than 500 people working on the
sites they were all non-Bayelsans. I asked if there was any
Bayelsan, there was none and I was shocked. That was
when I know we have a problem. Because no matter how
much you tried to stimulate the economy it would fly over
the Bayelsan because our youths won't work.
"I would give you another example - the community around
Saipem protested that they were not being given jobs. We
intervened and Saipem decided to give 70 quality jobs to
boys from that community.
The community nominated people to go and work there and
I was happy that through our intervention we were able to
create the jobs. Later I saw one of the boys and questioned
him why he is not at work.
"I later found out upon enquiry that he sold his space to an
Igbo man for N40, 000 a month out of the N 70,000 he is
being paid and that is what all of them did. They sold all
their spaces to Igbo people. You would send Bayelsans for
training through oil companies; they sell their spaces to
Igbo people and those acquire the necessary skills.
They are happier to be on the streets of Yenagoa claiming
every day that there is hunger. There is no economy that
can grow like this. It is a very sad situation." Earlier, the
chairman of the forum, Chief Francis Doukpolagha had
called on the government and the elders in the state to map
out developmental programmes that would be aimed at
improving the lots of the people in the state.

An average ijaw man is a drunkard and a womanizer, he is only good at sharing sperm to different women. I respect their women so much, they are the breadwinners in most of there various homes.

madridguy:
I am very sure some children of hate will soon evade this thread to raise curse on Gov. Dickson for saying the truth. The same Bayelsans complaining of giving their work to foreigner. May God help our Oyel broda.

#FACT!!!!


The Niger Delta man is physically and mentally Lazy.

The region is so bad that there is no Billionaire in the entire region whose wealth has crossed 2 generations. Whereas the Igbo Man, Yoruba man and the Hausa man would build an empire and start setting up his sons and relatives to takeover and expand the empire to last long beyond him, the Niger Delta man once he becomes a billionaire or a millionaire would rather live large, buy multiple cars, marry more wives, birth more kids that he would not provide for and die almost broke leaving his estate in disarray.

The Youths grow up on this belief that they can be lazy and expect to get rich from terrorizing Non-Indigenes and extorting businesses in their locality, selling off their ancestral lands and blowing up oil installations for settlement claims money.

All developmental projects embarked on by the Companies (oil and otherwise), the Government, e.t.c are all sabotaged by the same Niger Deltans who are the primary beneficiaries. I remember how a school with a budget of almost 100 Million was awarded to a Contractor and when he arrived the site to commence work, the Chief and the Youths started harassing him and in the end, the Chief demanded 15 million Naira for him to sign a Work Completion Certificate for the Contractor. The Contractor ofcourse offered the Chief 15 Million out of the almost 100 Million, settled the youths with like 2 million Naira and pocketed the rest of the dough. That job was marked as completed on the list. No thanks to the Community people.

I have sat in on several MOU's and I am yet to come out of any one where I can say the representatives of the Community had the best interest of the people they claimed to represent at heart.

I remember how one community demanded that their people be sent on training and paid a salary of 750,000 per month for the duration of the course.. I was like WTF?

Total Nigeria Limited has spent over 1 Million Euros on OML 58 Communities i in Rivers State in the last 6 Years and yet that community does not look like they have ever seen dollars before. Same with NAOC and SPDC amongst others.

If you are a contractor in the Niger Delta, you know all I am saying first hand, if you are not, ask anybody who is to tell you stories.

Its in the Niger Delta that you will get a Contract to fabricate or construct something, after settling the chiefs and elders and youths, they will give you a list of persons who you must employ before you commence work and they will in some cases stipulate their salaries. After you agree, these workers will never turn up to work until its time for salary.

The biggest enemies of the Niger Delta is the Niger Delta.

Dickson did not lie, the Niger Delta Man is Physically, Mentally and Spiritually lazy.

I served in that state way back 2001/2002 and the story is very true.................All the private school teachers were from the Southwest, most of the canteens were run by S/Easterners and Calabar/Akwa Ibom, cab drivers were mostly from Osogbo and Ife. Is the Governor just waking up, all they do is share the local government allocations at the end of the month.

The community nominated people to go and work there and I was happy that through our intervention we were able to create the jobs. Later I saw one of the boys and questioned him why he is not at work. "I later found out upon enquiry that he sold his space to an Igbo man for N40, 000 a month out of the N 70,000 he is being paid and that is what all of them did.

Deadlytruth:


If all these are true about them, then how are they different from Northerners? In fact Northerners might even be better than them.

alt3r3g0:


I'd rather Donald Duke. He put calabar on the map...everyone started copying calabar festival. Did the whole transformation without staining his reputation.

We are tired of rogues as leaders.

martineverest:
its a major problem most niger deltans have...men from dat region are very lazy.they are renowed drunkards.its a shame dat women are d breadwinners in south south

Immunity1:
let tonybacnista catch you

babadee1:


I can never forgive Obasanjo for not supporting David Duke to be president, he would have been phenomenal. Instead Baba Iyabo wanted his boys there who would bow to him and do his bidding. Almost immediately they ended up marginalizing him.
