mezarddinny: I never argued against your point about Bayelsa, I too feel the pain of wasted opportunity for the state, but to put Lagos and Dubai in the same breadth, the same league, that can't just be overlooked. You ask if I think good roads means development, bro, are you for real Lets have great dubai type roads all around Nigeria and see if our development index doesn't rocket up! Will you ask me next if having a great railway means development? or if having constant electricity means development? Lagos is more developed than Bayelsa, YES! A big YES! However, on a world Level, Lagos is still a freaking SLUM like the rest of NIGERIA. No false pretense, Lagos could have been like London now, the same way Bayelsa could have been like Lagos at least now, but most, if not all Politicians in Nigeria are corrupt. In Lagos, you hardly even have common side walks that other countries take for granted, just in a few places like v.i, lekki. Lagos as busy as it is, should have side walks for all the numerous pedestrians like London or Newyork, but alas, they share the same road with cars and some would claim that Lagos is developed 8 Likes

Do you know Bayelsa have just 8 LGAs? Do you know Bayelsa is among state with lowest population in the country? Do you know Bayelsa state monthly allocation is among the Top 3 in the country?. Do you know Bayelsa is among the LEAST developed state in the country?.. I once visited Yenagoe, all I could do was SMH. It really a shame. Nigeria couldn't and wouldn't develop via oil money, human capital is our best bet. Oil is going to be history and valueless in next 20years or less 2 Likes 1 Share |

@op thank you very much for asking this question. I'm from Delta state. But I work here in Bayelsa state and I must confess Bayelsa is the least developed state in South- South. Given the vast presence of oil companies and huge allocation from the the federal government this state is still backward in all areas. I believe their leaders are wicked and also the youths here are very LAZY. Imagine a full grown man with hands and legs begging. As a matter of fact begging is a big business here in BY. Begging and militancy among the youths here is like bread and butter. 1 Like |

rexwalters:Lol. Isn't it the same oil money that is shared across the 36 states? What has other states got to show for the monthly allocation? What is stopping other states from sourcing for revenue from resources that are as relevant as crude oil? Is it laziness? I forgot, the Niger Deltans are the lazy ones. The rest of Nigeria work hard and pay their taxes. Responsible citizens. This is the mentality of the country as a whole. Everyone is reliant on oil money. Oil has been flowing since the 50's. No one cared about Niger Delta then. It didn't start in 1996. 3 Likes |

wink2015: Which state is lazy? Having little or untaped mineral resources doesn't term a state lazy Bayelsans that are not lazy should be living in paradise in bayelsa Why is the case different. Ogun doesn't have oil but it's developing Rivers with oil is developing Kano with no oil is developing Why is bayelsa with so much oil different. At least bayelsa should be like Lagos if the entire state citizen start to think outside the box and not wait for Free money from government Free money from nddc Free money from the oil companies there 1 Like 1 Share |

Is it the failed BrassLNG project or the NDDC scholarship scheme that make ambitious indigenes of the state a laughing piece abroad. The reason this will continue is many of you will still celebrate the so called leaders the state and Nigerians claim to have. It took Singapore less than 50 years, it took Dubai about 25 years, same with Rwanda and South Africa. 1999 was our year of redemption. It was obvious to Every Nigerian it was time to move forward after the death of Abacha. But we failed to make a good constitution and no forward looking leader was available. The 1999 constitution is what has made politics a venture of corruption and business for many. We failed to see that Mandela was in prison for the liberation of the people, why was Obasanjo in prison? We didn’t ask these questions and thought he was our Mandela. I am sorry but it will take another half a decade for things to change in this country. 2 Likes |
