THE.AMAKA: I think you should read my comment over cause my comment wasnt about PH ONLY it was about Nigeria(including Lagos etc . .) in general. |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by mbulela: 10:59pm On Jan 03, 2010 |
i also feel you. i have no immediate problem with Amaechi being corrupt. What i have a problem with is being corrupt, arranging media frenzy with brown envelopes, talking plenty and doing absolutely nothing (or lots of irrelevant stuff like Odili's taxis).This is the reason why Odili will remain a horrible governor. I wish Amaechi the best and hope that these projects are maintained and the manpower motivated to fulfill the goals. |

I stay in Port Harcourt; to all you peeps don't be deceived, AMAECHI can do much more than he is currently doing. Things are not as beautiful as we are made to believe here. 1 Like |

@otokx, Pls post pictures of what he hasnt done.I live in ph, I was born and bred here.Tell yourself and others the truth.We have not seen devt like this since dietespiff-okilo era, I am not from rivers so i really dont have any stake but if u deny amaechis good work then you are probably blind or one of those riverine ijaw who think amaechi was sent from hell to wipe them out, Prove me wrong! |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by otokx(m): 10:50am On Jan 05, 2010 |
Are you daring me to post pictures of all the roads that and their potholes, plus the uncompleted projects. The problem with Nigerians is that we are complacent. We are so used to mediocrity and when we see some flash in the pan we start rejoicing. Amaechi with all the money he is getting can do much more than what he is doing. There should not be any pot hole in any road in the metropolis but oh well let us see. |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by phantom(m): 12:01pm On Jan 05, 2010 |
@otokx, If u read my earlier posts,i admitted i wasnt impressed with the road construction and if uve noticed i have only posted pictures of one road but we should consider 1.the rains 2.doin more roads at the expense of free traffic flow 3.Local contractors, But if u ask me,i think the third option has the most impact on the pace, I think the governor is tryin to make the indigenes accountable by puttin the contracts in their hands, But it is slowing things down. |

@phantom, the truth is that we've seen all these b4. go back a couple of years when odili was painting the town red with 'low-cost' housing, town buses, 'gas turbine' abi na 'gas-turn-bribe'. what you're showing us is deja vu in hyperdrive. nothing sustainable will come out of all this fronting. it's equivalent to dangling carrots, when the underlying issues have not been dealt with. i'm not against infrastructural development. our politicians extol themselves as road champions, housing moguls and 'scratch-my-back-i-scratch-your-own-too' subverted morons. btw that rumuola road, a daytime foto would have told a different story.   |

nice health centres How about a picture of the inside, are they in operation now with staffs and ambulances? Are they free for residents? |

Poster Did you said the Eleozu fly over is done: you must be the only person living in PH. Also some of your pictures are doctoured, some body asked whether the roads are tarrared with blue asphalt but you ignored her. Amaechi is trying but he can do more with the amount of resources avaliable to him. Lets wait and see what the 2010 budjet will look like, because some states like Anambra budjets like 67B while most of Niger delta budjet in the range of 250B, but yet you dont see the differences when you vists these states. Also the quality of the jobs are nothing to write home, i travels through PH to Warri every month, the quality of the roads being constructed outside PH cant withstand one rainy season. |

| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by lawrence83: 5:47pm On Jan 05, 2010 |
Amaechi is really trying but is focussing all his efforts on PHC I think he should start focussing on rivers state which is an eye sore. |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by naijaway(m): 10:28pm On Jan 05, 2010 |
phantom , nice pix but on a more serious note the governor of PH can do more and wow the whole of nigeria. PH is the oil capital of africa. No excuses, no unnecessary yarnings. It is what it is. PH can afford to build a mega hospital that is highly efficent with a couple of those bungalows you showed; PH is also capable of building a very okay power supply; PH can also have 70% of the best and most beautiful schools in africa; And lastly, a working first class police station and trained police also knowing that foreigners will participate in the last one for sure. PH is capable of having the best engineers in the nation and even the whole of africa in terms of buildings, paints, etc due to the experiences that could be created there. Amaechi is pocketing serious money by deceiving people by building those temporary structures. The maintainence of those infrastructures like mbuela stated is key and most likely king to the sustainance of the state's infrastructure. We can blame, accuse and deny but the fact remains that Rivers state deserves more than all those stuffs. As a whole, Nigeria needs to step up for the better and that's real talk. F*** all other thinking. We are in 2010 and no dependable power/water supply in Nigeria as a whole. Must we be daft because everyone in africa is not progressing. We need to reevulate our stuffs for real. I don't know why we are like this. Maybe because of no accountability, no understandings, too much goofing and dancing around when no substanial achievements can be seen, everyday party here and there but bad roads to get there. In naija, engineers are looked upon as dirty and messed up except u work in the oil comapanies. So if oyibo and asians no dey na only either farming by cutlass we for still dey do. Everytime na e go better. Look at those yeye a/c systems in those hospitals thereby making them ugly. God abeg I dey use holy spirit beg u abeg make Naija get into working spirit and use it to her advantage. |

naijaway, obuledu, dis guy and ojimbo IV; you gus came late to the party. most of your sentiments were what i was expressing in earlier posts and some people called me pessimistic and perpetual complainant. |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by mbulela: 12:08am On Jan 06, 2010 |
so because he wants to empower indigenes, he awards to contracts of 100s of millions to mediocre entities? project is slow, quality is crap and we are meant to applaud? |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by paddylo1(m): 2:44am On Jan 06, 2010 |
a lot of u guys like to complain unnecessarilly. . . perhaps we shouldnt have had oil in nigeria so we wouldnt think we are so rich. . yes we are rich by african standards,but a lot of what we want to do is world standard so we really dont have that much resources. . . u say amaechi recieves N400 billion. . .well thats only about $3billion even if u dont pay any salary and use it all for capital projects,how far really can u go with that? on top of that we have a huge population whereby the cities that are being built up are soon overwhelmed as a lot of people move in there and put pressure on the infrastructure in so called developed countries they borrow heavilly to provide infrastructure and get back the money after 20 or 30yrs. . . but how many ppl here pay taxes to enable the govt to borrow from the capital markets. . ? let amaechi be. . i believe he is doing what he can,with the resources available |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by trueword: 3:02am On Jan 06, 2010 |
paddy_lo: Wel Amaechi needs to attract more private investments that will employ people. He doesn't have to solely rely on government money to rebuild PH. For instance the Eko Atlantic City project is privately financed. PH as the oil capital of Nigeria and probably Africa needs to be upgraded. How many people in Lagos before were paying taxes, but b/c Fashola is working and Lagosians can see what he is doing with their own too eyes more people are willing to pay taxes. If Amaechi thinks that govt money is only way to build city, then he is sadly mistakened. more private-public partnerships are needed. |

Rivers halts foreign medical treatments 06 January, 2010 03:17:00 REPORTS Rivers state government has disclosed that it has stopped the financing of medical treatments abroad for its citizens. Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, who disclosed this at the weekend during an informal evening sit-out with media executives at Government House, Port Harcourt, said the decision takes effect from January this year. Amaechi explained that the foreign medical trips was costing the state government huge sums of money, noting that such funds would rather be channeled to equipping its own hospitals to take care of the health needs of the greater number of people. The governor said a review of beneficiaries of the medical treatments abroad shows that only the rich and influential people in the society were gaining from such government gesture, as the common people hardly had access to government functionaries to push their case. He noted that the state government was aware of the enormous pressure on the Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital, (BMH) Port Harcourt, which is the only functional secondary health institution in Port Harcourt, assuring that the new Kelsey Harrison Niger Hospital completed recently, would be equipped this year. He also hinted that General Hospitals in the local government areas would be renovated to complement the newly built Primary Health Centres across the state and advised residents to patronize the health centres, especially those with minor ailments, to reduce the pressure on the hospitals. The governor said the completed health centres are fully equipped with at least a medical doctor, trained midwives and nurses, to take care of the health needs of the people. According to him, the current situation where all patients rush to BMH for medical cases has resulted in the over crowding of the hospital, citing a situation where a doctor attends to about 100 patients in a day, adding that such arrangement would lead to diminishing returns on the part of the medical officers. The evening sit-out was attended by media executives based in Port Harcourt, and was the first by any Governor in the state. http://www.champion.com.ng/index.php?news=25269 |

The most pathetic I have ever heard from any human being, let alone a Nigerian!!! no need to call names. . .u live in the u.s.a. . .whats the budget for new-york city,and whats the budget for port-harcourt whats the budget for ohio state u reside in annually,and whats the budget for rivers. . .? how much does it cost to build 1km of international standard road in a swampy environment like the niger delta. . .? u think $3billion dollars is a lot of money? well google the internet giant has a cash hoard of $22 billion dollars on its balance sheet with no debt my point is u live in a global world or so u claim,the things that need to be done in nigeria which are mostly huge infrastructural projects,cannot be done with paltry sums of money here and there dubai with all its oil wealth is still $80 billion dollars in debt. . . money that it borrowed to finance massive infrastructure projects and diversify its economy u live in the west,u know how its done. . .so stop playing dumb |
| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by Kobojunkie: 3:56am On Jan 06, 2010 |
paddy_lo:I did not call you any names. I simply stated that the statement you made is just a seriously pathetic statement for any human being to make. And this is INDEPENDENT of location on the planet. In fact, in the very city I live in, with a population just as much as that of RIVERS, I can tell you for a fact that amount of money would be considered a HUGE DEAL, in fact, it is a huge deal. paddy_lo: The rest of your post above contributes to the problem here. You are quick to compare the spending budget of a state ,in a developing country, with the budget of states in developed countries where majority of the work being carried out is in maintainance and ENHANCEMENT stages( past basic development). Isn’t that in itself a problem and signs that your initial statement there was made out of ignorance? So, yes, it still remains that the initial statement made by you was quite a pathetic by any standard! |

| Re: Amaechis Port Harcourt! by Kobojunkie: 4:22am On Jan 06, 2010 |
paddy_lo: Roflmao!!!! look whose talking!!! On a serious note, please stop making such ridiculous statements. @Poster, Amaechi has a lot more available for him to accomplish much more. As so many already highlighted, he ought to do better since he has more resources available for him to work with, considering population as well, than 70% of the other states in the same country do, each month. I would expect a higher level of quality from him and his admin than I would from other states that have less resources. |

You are quick to compare the spending budget of a state ,in a developing country, with the budget of states in developed countries where majority of the work being carried out is in maintainance and ENHANCEMENT stages( past basic development) what costs more. . .to build from scratch or to maintain? i shouldnt have to tell u about rivers state environment with swamps and general difficulty of building lasting structures there so according to u it is more expensive to maintain infrastructure in built up columbus,than to build it from scratch in the niger delta? or perhaps u dont even know what point u are trying to make,since u just like to type first then think later well heres my point,we are trying to become developed. . .to have our cities as shiny and bulit up as new-york city or houston or abuja for us to do that we need real money. . billions of dollars since in the delta we are basically starting from scratch. . . that is why i compare the two. . .and ask u to check the cost of building a new metro system in new york city or the boston highway known as the big dig then see that ours is even more of a problem and complex since we start mostly from scratch so give amaechi the benefit of the doubt. . . lets see if u or anyone else that thinks like u can wrap your heads around this level of reasoning |

@ojimbo, i feel you, we all were here when odili was throwing money about, but tell me honestly, if odili did the above projects(and he could have done more since he was recieving 2-3 times what amaechi is gettin now)he wouldnt have left office smellin of roses but neither would he get so much of the negative sentiments hes gettin now, @obeledu , i didnt say the eliozu flyover was complete, well almost , Eliozu,
