^^^^ alh, we can read now, do you have to take a whole page to express yourself?
Obviously, the NDs are their own problems.

Kobojunkie:

Again , Is English a problem there?

Again, Lagos has a population almost 10 times of Bayelsa's. Bayelsa recieves, I believe more than 10 times of what Lagos gets from the Federal Government in Allocations. I don't see the rationale in claiming that Bayelsa is at some disadvantage in all this when it does not have the population burden Lagos has, and it does not have to borrow money to take care of it's business. 

Yes, the state, and Local Government have a role in all this, but Jonathan was once part of that himself and did not see fit, apparently, to change the trend at the state level. Ofcourse it concerns people still that a man who was unable to perform much at the state level, helped hand his state over to PDP when he was eventually elected at the national level,  has the audacity to call other state Governor's, rascals, maybe because they would rather not vote him, given his record of non-performance(More talk and not much game to back up the talk).

Beaf:

What is the name of your state, because these days even Zamfara people claim SS. Charlie, what is the name of your state? The only none PDP states in the SS are Edo and Ondo and sorry to say, but they feed off Bayelsa.
The only states that can point a finger at Bayelsa are Sokoto, Lagos and ND states. Yours does not qualify (whatever it is).

It is even doubly foolish when it is considered that the figures we are talking about are some voodoo emanating from the ethnically based party called ACN.

Dude, in truth, you are just a bloody parasite that is laughing at its victim. Bayelsa feeds your fvking state.

agitator:

Some tourist taking photo. Bayelsa next tourist spot on earth

why do you keep exposing that state? Bushes, weeds and stagnant flood as tourist attraction
have you ever seen anyone upload such an undeveloped environment for his state on NL before?

10cirenoh:

See this foool, which state is feeding from your useless state? is your state not getting allocations? are they not getting more than most of the states in Nigeria? with a population of just 2million, what has your leaders (yes those hat wearing monkies who think they can be mistaken for a cowboy in texas ) what are they doing with their allocation? charity starts from home, what are you governors doing with all your allocation? LOOT AND THEN DRESS LIKE A WOMAN? loot using your wife as the handbag or what exactly?

You guys are just damn lazy and even if the oil is left to your people, you would end up killing eachother out of greed to the extent that no one's going to be able to live in that part of the country.

Yeye lazy azz,

See, Lagos survived without federal allocation for a while, but can your Bayelsa survive without one? My state is deriving another means of sourcing income and they're copying from the best hands in Nigeria.

Redman44:

Nigeria is indeed a complex nation  I can't believe Bayelsa has a lot of unemployed youths even though it is an oil producing state. Residents and citizens of the state should start to ask their leaders tough questions. The same thing applies to all the Niger Delta states. Community leaders in these oil producing states are working hand in hand with corrupt Governors and Senators to share the allocations sent from Abuja. The leaders in the Niger Delta are the nemies of their own people. People should wake up

na_so:

Make u no cos me again for here or else we go throw e-blows oh

na_so:

Bros dis your ITK don dey cross border o. While accusing me of not stating the reasons why unemployement level is so high(or possibly the highest as alleged), you failed to address the many posters who have used this thread as an avenue to extend the insults GEJ has been receiving sincere the "RASCAL" statement in oyo. Most posters are either directly or indirectly putting  the blame of this unemployement rate  on GEJ.

na_so:

I know the unemployement rate in Bayelsa is high, BUT UNTIL THE ACTUAL STATS FROM FOS ARE MADE AVAILABLE, IT IS FALSE TO CLAIM THAT BAYELSA HAS THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYEMENT RATE. Please prove that I am wrong.

Kobojunkie:

Bayelsa State received $47.1m ---  2 - 3 million population
Lagos state received $15m -- population suggested to be at ~17 million (2010)

Ok . . . maybe not exactly 10 times but per capita, it sure seems that way.

What a donkey!
Hehe! I'm not from Bayelsa, so you are the FOOL here! And regardless of how you look at it, my state is better than your dump. Thank God!

You claimed to be from the SS and instead you have been shown to be a crusty arsed parasite whose state produces fvkall, yet you can open your parasitic mouth to lash those that feed you and who you have perpertrated human rights abuses against for half a century.

Dude, whats the name of your fvking parasitic state na?
Is it too hard to tell us? Lets know whether you add value to Nigeria or if your states "other source of income" is from the export of your women to Italy (underage and overage, young and old, unmarried and married).

Dunce.

^-- [b]So Bayelsa receives more derivation money than even Rive[/b]rs?

$15 million for Lagos, 47.1 for Bayelsa?

Bayelsa with a tiny population of 2 or 3 million, yet nothing to show for it?

Is it me, or should all of Bayelsa's past governors be investigated by the EFCC?

Where did all the money go to?

How can you earn more money than Rivers, yet be even less developed than Ekiti?

Na wa o!

Kobo, it is more like 18 times per capita, if we use 3 million. $15.70 for Bayelsa per person, 88 cents for Lagos.

Employment figures as of March 2009:

http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/ext/latest_release/LabourForcestat.pdf

38%+ of Bayelsans unemployed, compared to the national average of 19.7%.

Wow.

PhysicsMHD:

What's going on in Nassarawa, Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kebbi, and Zamfara?  Who's employing who, and for what?

Is unemployment in Akwa Ibom really comparable to that in Bauchi? 

Do you really believe these statistics?  Or are you just joining in on the "sh1t on Bayelsa" parade? Answer honestly, please.

eku_bear:

Hard to say without seeing the methodology used. And even then, this is an area of statistics I've not studied at all. So I'd need to spent some time understanding the field a bit.

However, assuming that their methodology is valid, then the overall conclusion (that Bayelsa is under-performing as far as employment goes) seems reasonable.

Assuming that the methodology is good, seems unlikely that there is enough error/systematic bias to make a state with a great employment rate actually measure out amongst the worst. Unless someone in that department is purposefully fcking around with the stats to make Bayelsa look bad. . . something that seems a bit implausible.

PhysicsMHD:


Ok, but this doesn't seem to be about whether Bayelsa is under-performing to a great extent, but that they are apparently the most under-performing. Why aren't the apparent unemployment rates of Akwa-Ibom and Rivers attracting the same condemnation, press, and commentary when they are apparently troubled states as well? Where are their ACN political announcements?

I'm also skeptical of how they found out that Bauchi, Katsina, etc., just so happened to be slightly (1%) better than Bayelsa.

Also, it seems entirely plausible that a state that may actually have an awful unemployment rate was given a great unemployment rate in those statistics.

Nassarawa state has one of the lowest GDP's and GDP per capita from available data but somehow has one of the highest employment rates? What's going on there? What are they employing them to do there?

I know there's a lot of activity in Jos, but what's in Nassarawa, exactly? If someone can tell me what's going on there that they've got it so good, I will take back all that I said.

Also, what's going on in Kebbi?

I think they got the real data, and then jumbled a few states about a little bit in a random manner, to downplay a north-south divide.
