And what has he done for the unemployed youth knowing that unemployment is a crazy driver. At least he was lucky to be driven to a good destination

Tinubu would say the same, but in a more creative way as a talented corrupt politician.

Tinubu wasn't unemployed.

He had a reasonably good job with Mobil prior to joining politics.

The same unemployemnt that has pushed you into politics has pushed more to robbery, ritual, drugs, terrorism and all sorts of crimes...

How has your Government approached the issue having first hand experience of it.

He said his son grew up and schooled in Europe but he is coming back to Nigeria to play politics. That is the situation in the country. That is how they do it.

And now that you have the opportunity to create jobs for others you are busy creating one for your pocket.
If I may ask how many jobs have you created since unemployment was what drove you into politics?

You are distorting history! It was Amaechi who picked up a fight with GEJ because people like Tinubu promised him the presidency or vice presidential slot.

Most of you are not from Rivers or were not resident when this happened.

I am resident. Who promised Amaechi vice presidential slot? That is not true. Amaechi was not in the political picture until he was suspended by GEJ. He was a core PDP man.

People lied to GEJ against Amaechi and the man waged a war against Amaechi based on rumours. Amaechi was strong in the camp of PDP. His decamping to APC was leaving the ruling party.

Apart from the rumours, Amaechi had not done anything to GEJ before GEJ started fighting Amaechi. So tell me, who betrayed who?

The real tragedy of Nigeria is the fact that thieves and evil men can stand in front of the nation, beat their chests with confidence and claim not to have stolen so much as a kobo. Even while the entire place is littered by evidences of their pilferage.

Apart from lies, how did anyone know Amaechi was promised VP slot, when Amaechi himself knew it was never a possibility?

The problem was that GEJ was too dumb to tell a lie from the truth. As soon as they lied to him that the best performing Governor, maybe the best in the History of Nigeria was promised his position, he stupidly reacted and started fighting one of the strongest politicians in the Niger Delta. GEJ drove Amaechi from PDP. Not the other way around.

Get your facts right.

No shame at all. Now, what have you done concerning unemployment? Absolutely, nothing. A time is coming when a son beats up the father because the son will have had enough from an abusive father. It is wrong for a son to do that, but nature will certainly support that. That will be the case of Nigeria one day, and soonest.

Probably I are not conversant with the politics or you are biased. Amaechi 's war with GEJ even started before Jonathan became acting president!

Amaechi, Sylva and Uduaghan all worked against GEJ before he became acting president. Uduaghan was ready to reconcile, the rest were not.

The truth is, whatever has happened has happened and it will define Bayelsa/Rivers politics in many years to come.

Many who support Wike today do not support him because they like him, they take offence in Amaechi's actions. In fact, prior to Amaechi's betrayal, barely anyone disliked him in Rivers state. He was forgiven for the role he played in Odili's 8 years of waste, waste in all ramifications.

For those of us who know him personally, thats not his true story. cool

Pls as an ex-militant tell us the true story.

We will like to learn from the two sides of the story. Today is Sunday, no work, no Church, please let the script unfold to entertain us.

osamz007:
Now that you are well established in politics have u created employment?

Amaechi created lots of jobs as Governor of Rivers State. From agriculture through the establishment of banana plantation, cassava farm and the massive Songhai farm project. His teachers training program had thousands of teachers employed. His Timariv project employed thousands.

He sent lots of students, hundreds of them overseas on scholarship, many of them came back and got employed.

His expansion of The Promise Franchise through a Public Private Partnership created hundreds of jobs.

To mention a few.

You are talking story. There is no fact in the claims that Amaechi worked against GEJ. Prior to the battle, Amaechi and GEJ were close. GEJ's highest vote in his election was through Amaechi's rigorous mobilisation for GEJ.

You just drown in Rumours.

Go and ask people now. Most in Port Harcourt confess they made a mistake. It was the other way around. GEJ sold Amaechi and betrayed him based on lies.

I stopped reading immediate I read this,

"However, I didn’t join politics because I wanted to be a leader or because I wanted to solve Nigeria’s problems. I joined because of unemployment."

Nigeria's problem can never and will never be solve with this set of rogues who sees politics as a career not a call to service.

So being honest to reveal his true motive for joining politics you now hate him.

But how much have those who "joined politics as a call to service" performed better than him in their posts?

The modern train Minister, you are doing well Oiiin!!.. Rt Hon Rotimi Ameachi, we know the story Sir, you and your hungry buffoon cultist friend called Wike, Peterside and Magnus all where friends who ventured into politics as a young man after serving odili's intrest very well, its a shame greed got the best of some of you, especially Judas Wike who had decided to leave his friends to serve his new masters Madam Patience Jonathan

Even in US most out of Job Lawyers consider Politics, and that's why the have lots of baby lawyers in the congress, and Senators who are lawyers but refused to practice


.

My friend, with what you spit, you don't know any story. Some of the things Amaechi said in the interview are true . And some are lies. Wike wasn't greedy if you actually know the true story.

is it wike that also told him not to decamp back to PDP before 2019 election. Amaechi betrayed himself and the people of River State because of money and position.

It is lag of electricity supply in Nigerian that led u in to joblessness and joblessness led you in to politics.

Is that logical to you at all? Decamp from where he was with the ruling party?

Amaechi was suspended from the ruling party by GEJ. He went to APC and became part of the current ruling party. Why should he decamp when PDP had no guarantee strong hold. Saraki and Melaye decamped due to their loyalty ti Atiku.

I have heard the story countless times and no matter who is telling it Wike acted out of over ambition and greed being fooled by his new masters , The jonathans and the Odilis... a local government chairman, chief of staff, that thinks he has arrived after his oga nominated him to the higher table
