How can we be talking of graft and injustice from the centre after 5 years of an Ijaw Presidency. A presidet who has had more money to spend that any other president in our history. He had more than 4X I repeat 4 X more money that IBB who built Abuja. What did he do for HIS PEOPLE? He was busy enriching militants and nincompoops. There has not been a better opportunity. An Ijaw president, good oil prices for 4 years ,Excess crude account full,foreign reserve full. He has no excuse whatsoever so please stop blaming others.
Imagine a situation where the FG was housing militants in hotels and they would travel and take the keys to the rooms while government paid.
We try to downplay it but the scale of what happened over the last 4 years is really catastrophic. And that is why the First Black American president refused to visit,Yes America knows.They know what is going on and IT STINKS!!
Instead of blaming anyone blame GEJ he has let the Niger Delta down

Another intelligent post.

theV0ice:
It shows how tribalistic Nigerians truly are. This much noise didn't come all through the 5 years of GEJ presidency because he's Ijaw. They didn't care about his ineptitude and refusal to use the oil wealth his govt was favored with to develop the ND because he was their brother. The poor in the ND grew poorer while criminals and militants grew richer under him but they didn't mind because he was their brother. Even most of the ranters on this thread didn't get good jobs from him but it didn't/doesn't matter because he's their brother. Asari makes billions from phantom contracts and takes the money to boost another country's economy but they see nothing wrong with it because he's their brother and 'na our oyel'

GMB defeated GEJ in an election and even though the man is yet to be sworn in, they threaten to raze down the country. I laugh when i see Asari is the one leading the charge. I want to see him enter the creeks with the 9 months pregnancy he carries about now

I want to see him blow up a pipeline in Abonema and spill the oil therein to help destroy whats left of the fauna and flora in his environment. I want to see him blow up the gas plant in Soku and set up Christmas fireworks to light up the ND and create a tourist attraction. You set your house on fire and you think you're spiting me.....by all means, go ahead. Even the Ogonis have been begging since for their environment to be cleaned up but their brother didn't see it fit to do. Maybe the cattle rearer they so much despise will be more humane to go through with it.

''if the heavens will fall, it WILL NEVER BE the problem of only one family or village''

I'm happy a lot of Nigerians can see things as it truly is.

flofields:
So if is not GEJ as president, it is 'resource control' or break-away? These thugs are so full of themselves. It is high time Nigeria Government dealt seriously with this pipeline-damaging and oil-bunkering fake alhaji and his cohorts.

With the noise they make, you would think they actually got crude oil "seeds", planted them and worked hard to grow it underground till the whole Niger Delta was filled with crude oil.............

tinkinjow:
If you imply all these in the "Nigerian sense" I'll agree after all the so called Nigerian sense is actually Lagos'. You're only smarter and sharper in the negatives; you're certainly not cooler or sexier that's a fact - except by sexier you mean dressing scantily or seductively; and you can never be more bix savvy, what you have is better opportunities. Given the same opportunities the Local Akwa Ibom will outperform you - truth is the born Lagosian hardly ever makes it. It's always those who come to Lagos from the villages that achieve most. That's another fact.

I'm sure I'll be bored in less than a week if I move there and will loose my sanity before month end...........or just become a dulling guy.


U see a couple of roads and flyovers and you suddenly think you're the best thing to happen to Nigeria since cassava was mistakenly turned to garri??


Una funny sha. Your exposure is still limited, I don't know what you want to tell me that will "Wow" me.

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Nice write up.

tinkinjow:
When those who "claim relationship" with Lagos talk of development one is always left to wonder what they really mean. To these group development is synonymous with some few ten storey buildings sprinkled here and there around the city.

Of course it is easy to agree Uyo stand alone in Akwa Ibom Whereas Lagos is taken wholly as a state - though no one will tell you about Epe or Badagry in that regard.
To these group I ll always boldly say it to your face. Lagos as far as I'm concern is a byword for filth and chaos. The only possible places there that can escape this description are the Law School - Lekki toll gate stretch and Osborne Ikoyi stretch. In all these you dare not enter the side streets for you'll be stung with the eyesore that's the Lagos signature.
Is it the Ajah/ilaje areas, wilmer/ajegunle, aggege/iyana ipaja. Even places like fectac, marina name them are all decayed. The so called banana island apart from the beautiful structures is what it's called, a banana plantation.

Lagos praisers should well be informed that Akwa Ibom has what Lagos has and even more - that sought after serene environment with greens ( I meean nature) - that signposts a modern city.

When people (except perhaps we that have not seen high rises) travel the world for tourism it is these nature or culture they seek to enjoy not structures except where that is culturally connected.
When you go to Calabar it is the ambience you seek
When you go to the Caribbean it is not for structures or skyscrapers
It always about nature, culture and the ease of life. Akwa Ibom - Uyo have these in abundance to Lagos.

Which is development:
The bumpy Lagos roads or the smooth Akwa Ibom ones
The stressful traffic in Lagos or the free flow in Akwa ibom
The dirty looking public school students or the neat Akwa Ibom students
The congested noisy neighbourhoods of Lagos or calm soothing residences of Akwa ibom
The terribly smelly and equally detestable bukas in Lagos or the healthy and delicious delicacies in Akwa ibom
The stench that emanates from the Lagos Lagoon or the clean streams, rivers and beach of Akwa Ibom.
etc etc etc etc etc
Akwa Ibom might not provide you with the same economic opportunities as Lagos, but please if you have your money and you're asked where to live, please don't hesitate, choose Akwa Ibom and live happily ever after.

There's much more to development than filth and commotion

But the average Lagosian (Regardless of his tribe) will be far more exposed, sharper, smarter, cooler, sexier more popular, more bizness savvy that the Akwa Ibom resident you wanna present.


That's why we rock!!!

I'm sure its the guys behind it but they used her as a front, probably to retrieve the transfered amount.

Some girls sha, just because they want to be seen with the "Happening" guys.

stebell:
Idioooot, wat do yu agitate for??
Don't tell me yu are one of them slaves to the peeps frm Niger.

I can bet you're one broke @ss, long necked guy that becomes "Incredible Hulk" when he's online.

CriticalThought:
but I am asking why shouldn't they think of themselves first

Because that's the first sign of a fraudulent "Leader".

They put their personal gains first.

mandax:
The rag tag militants of BH that fought GEJ out of office were not the cream of northern engineers, lawyers, Professors, and other northern professionals.
Una sabi blackmail in order to get better share of sweet crude; no be small.

Who told you it was Boko Haram that voted GEJ out??

Well, I don't have time to start arguing, beta "Alert" jus enter my phone.

Yeah.......First blood from his fat stomach.

VIPERVENOM:
benin?? u well so? benin state? this is the most senseless comment I've Eva seen. last time I checked the capital of Lagos was ikeja

True. This thread should be Uyo vs Ikeja.

Ok, debaters, present your arguments.

CriticalThought:
Why shouldn't they, what is Nigeria doing for any of us?

Do you think they're thinking of u in their equation??

They teamed up with GEJ to loot your same resources, just the same way past Govts have and what did you or your community get in return for 5yrs??

You guys need real Leaders to represent you, not gun running, oil bunkering touts. Don't you guys have professors, Engineers, Lawyers .....in short, professionals??

Why must it be anarchists and killers that act as your voice??

Hmmmm.........I know this dude from Omole Estate.

He's a sharp dude. Very intelligent.

I'm sure she didn't cry when she heard Jesus Christ died for our sins.

lastpage:
You deserve a national honor for this.


Lastpage!

GEJ has given the National honors to Aki and Pawpaw already, non left for me.

lorddubic:
Hmmm. Life has no value anymore: ETT

To be honest, some lives are more valuable than others.

If a particular life is dedicated to subjugating others, that life is a minus to humanity and its absence should not be missed.

Ezenwammadu:
Your support of illegality is disturbing.Am sure you condemn jungle justice but praise kidnapping though both of them are crimes before the law

When the judiciary is heavily compromised or non existing, the people are liable to take laws into their hands.





How to you feel when you hear a politician steals billions of public funds, is charged to court, found guilty and told to pay a fine of N750,000

I don't just feel like carrying out jungle justice on the politician, I feel like including the judge in it.

betty202020:
what if he dies while being drugged? kidnap is kidnap.

If he dies, that's one less corrupt politician for us to worry about.

Intendy:
please stop answering f00ls

Ezenwammadu:
l am defending the illegality and the consequent diplomatic breakdown of this stupid action.ln as much as i detest politicians they are process laid down by the law for them to be apprehending and punished

You're right............If we were in Ghana or some country with semblance of sanity.


Most of these current politicians are animals in human skin and need horsewhips and harsh treatments to knock them into touch..............for now.


Hopefully, their ranks will be replaced by a crop that deserve a legal system that works to effect order.

Ezenwammadu:
Whats the difference between you and the corrupt politician.By supporting and illegal move you too are corrupt

The difference is this: The corrupt politician will be impoverishing thousands of people with his illegal actions.

While my humble self will support such illegal actions to bring people like him and his supporters to justice.


Why are you so keen on defending a kidnapped corrupt Politician, would you also defend a kidnapped " Godogodo" ( the notorious armed robber) in the same situation??

You're suspect.

I'm sure the real speech would have been laden with heavy grammatical blunders............"I never thoughting I will becomed first ladies at Nigeria"

Ezenwammadu:
They are other legal ways to do it.UK and Nigeria had excellent relationship then why didn't he ask for extradiction

I'm not in support of drugging and kidnapping but as long as it's a corrupt politician, I'll laugh and walk past.

mployer:
Now I beleive GMB is a terrorist

Yes ooo.........I pray he's back to terrorize all these looters in high places.


Well, they know what can do from his past antecedents, that's enough to keep them on their toes.

He's not been sworn in yet and they're already confessing, returning monies stolen and sitting up at their jobs.

Ezenwammadu:
This marked the first international kidnapping in Nigeria and now kidnapping is a norm and lucrative business

If kidnapping escaped political thieves to face justice is a bad thing,.................... I guess to you, pardoning them and rewarding them with political positions is excellent.


When Politicians realize they can be drugged and kidnapped for their crimes, let's see if they won't sit up.

We now know the "Niger Delta" they're agitating for is their stomachs.

Pls, 29th should come quick so that we can forget these failures from the Nigerian nightmare into the rectum of history.

sarahatuba:
Don't worry I'll dance 'shoki' on lagos roads

Thanks for the offer tho

Anytime toots.


Just incase you change your mind, you'll find me under that flyover that some Nairaland Ibomites love to post pics of staring at it...........

sarahatuba:
Yes ooo.....but watch some people come and compare Akwa ibom to Lagos

I'm going to Akwa Ibom to dance "sekem" on their roads next week.

Care to join me?

M4gunners:
I thought you are of the educated one's in nairaland? Are we talking about federation debt here or Corruption? Ur answer will definitely let you know you are looking talking out of point.

Corruption is the reason why we're "chest deep" in dept without concrete results on ground.

Its not so hard to establish a link between the 2.
