wow! thanks for your time.
let me try to summarize
from your first paragraph you try to compare Rivers and Lagos in terms of GDP and economic diversity citing security as a stumbling block for Rivers

from your second paragraph you also pointed out that River despite having better GDP/Capital do not translate to investment in order to grow other sectors of the already oil-mono economy due to insecurity and the disposition/character of the person at the center (governor)

from the third you said Rivers government has not really develop human capacity that is why most companies in Rivers look to Lagos for most of their fabrication a trend you said started some ten years ago. PH cannot compete with cities like Aba, onitcha, Lagos, etc because of same.

what I can descend from what you are saying in the fourth is that Rivers governors Have performed below par in infrastructure that for instance, lagos focuses on developing commerce than commissioning projects.

your last paragraph is similar to the first ie consumer investing, security issues in addition to random government project.

please is the summary in order?




























































































































































well from your write up, the recurring decimal in all what you said is the security and other issues which is peculiar to Rivers. the issue of cultism, militancy, communal clashes, thuggery, election violence, etc. these are issues as you pointed out scare the hell out of prospective investors from the state.The offshoot of all the points you made are all caused by these issues. unfortunately, due to political reasons the governors in that state may not be able to fight insecurity without the full support of the center. you may recall how Niger Delta region was besieged by militancy during Obasanjo era. even with the full force of the federal might he could not win the war. A lot of expertrate flew the region. a lot of companies both indigenous and foreign closed down. It even took dialog and pleading for the Yaradua government to placate the youth of that region.
so you can see that the problem of that region of the country is very peculiar and as a governor you really have to deal with the fact that your state is a high risk state for investor. the best you can do is to fight insecurity while building infrastructure to restore investors confidence in your region and that takes time my dear friend.

jieta:
just remove ameachi and replace it with some one else abeg

thundafire:
Duke is 1 cs Wat he built is Wat dis clowns called Imoke and Ayade are trying hard 2 destroy but can't

Amaechi dat couldn't complete a monorail u had dey brain 2 give him number 1 spot, then wouldn't be surprised if you give him best minister from 1999 till date

Number 2 is Akpabio he was governor 2007 till 2015 and did good roads but he is truly felt in his own constituency the Ananng speaking people cs he took all state and 90% federal presence there

So in my opinion Donald Duke and Godswill Akpabio deserve dey spots but dey made politics a dirty one and if theses 2 where governors during OBJ time apart from Duke he could have achieved his 3rd term agenda

aribisala0:
The problem with our people is they are fooled by shiny things.

Human development not "projects" is the most important form of developmet.
Akwa Ibom and its people are amongst the most backward in Southern Nigeria. No offense just the bitter truth and Akpabio did not change that.

Akwa Ibo still has no plan or way to survive without oil money

laterthings:

sure

aribisala0:

Tinubu is the man for me
Created LASTMA

Pioneered BRT and LAGBUS
Reformed LASUTH
Created 37 LCDAs and withstood the withholding of funds by OBasanjo thus proving Lagos could stand alone against blackmail

Go and check how many court cases he took to the Supreme Court just to enshrine FEDERALISM which have now concluded and settled many matters in favour of states which PDP governors sheeply ignored.

His reform to the revenue base of the state needs no introduction
He envisioned : Eko Atlantic,The Badagry express way and the Metro projuct but it is not all about projects but future vision

Tinubuis better than all those 5 put together.

Just imagine he was in the place of Akpabio,Ibori or Amaechi I cannot imagine any of those states would not have a thriving seaport and international airport

simplistical:

understand lag is the richest state and can't compare its igr with that of any other state in Nigeria
