Of a truth, Amaechi remains the best in the history of the state so far.

Nothing is well-known. Even u that is talking, u only mentioned just one scrapper and mentioned him building schools. Tell me where Amaechi didn't build schools?
Tell me what Spiffy did in the health sector?
Tell me what spiffy did in sports?
Tell me what spiffs did in human capacity?
Tell me what spiff did in agriculture?
Tell me what spiff did in security? Etc
Does that mean spiff was a failure, of cos not. He surely tried his best and even out performed cursed governors like Odili who wike is currently looking up to now.
Pending when u state the above, Amaechi remains the best in her history.

Yes. The best Rivers state Governor in her history so far.

[size=13pt]It is well known that Diete-Spiff did the most.
He is the one that built our skyscraper secretariat, back in the day.
All the government secondary schools across the states, he built.
What is remarkable is he was able to do this when Rivers State and Bayelsa state where one state.
All the way from Okrika, Bonny, Kalabari, Port-Harcourt to Nembe, Brass and I am sure, beyond, you find the schools he built have served the people up till today, most times being the only secondary school in the community for over a decade.[/size]

Then in what capacity was he invited, lately his speech at functions are so irritating, he should understand we have gone past electioneering, and it is time to act not campaign, we really don't want to know all the battles he fought and how fearless he was.

From his speech at the town hall the calabar-lagos railway line will not start until next year but it was included in this year's budget, but the Lagos to Kano will be starting soon, so tell me what is the difference between him and GEJ government, because you can agree with me that GEJ worked and did things for North and not the Niger Delta, which everyone was insulting and abusing him for.

Now Amaechi it is your turn we want to see how patriotic you are to you people or if truly you are really a slave to north and west.

[size=13pt]You sound like it is a discovery that he speaks kind of foolishly (and you may not be aware that the version of public speaking you see from him is an improved one). It is a discovery that more and more people kept on making from the time he became governor and had to make public speeches.

You see, Amaechi is as intellectually refined as a port harcourt street character.
The rest of the world understandably fell into the mistake of considering him any different.
I say so because the mind automatically bestows certain levels of dignity to those whom the interplay of events somehow cause to emerge office holders.

So he remains dressed in clothes more honourable than he is. And I mean this literally and metaphorically.

He is a product of the mad rush by criminals into the political system in 1999 when our new democratic era started and the only things many can confidently say are honourable about him are the cloaks of the public offices of speaker, governor and minister, and the clothes he wears.
The rest remain whatever a street character given these garbs to put on makes of having to put on these garbs.

the fact that things are hard in nigeria today isnt directly buhari's fault let me explain

i haven't had light for 3days now it has been really bad buying fuel and all i didn't come here blaming buhari cause this isnt buhari's fault is the nepa staffs and workers that didnt see the need to send a 4n text to residents explaining the black out. next thing you will say is their corrupt buhari should sack them , nigga does that and nepa goes on strike lol,
just like my example thats how many things that ure complaining abt aren't his fault believe me am not stupid but i know that the nigga means well infact why people dont like him is because of some certain corrupt guys in his cabinet, what u need to understand is that you cant be fighting at home and fighting outside!
or is it the tomatoes go and read its not his faults insects destroyed millions of farm produce so most have been imported from neighboring countries, am not saying that buhari is amazing and perfect but my point is he means well and really wants to move us forward
i will have explained the negative effect of many things and why buhari is right or wrong but thats for another day!

Politics › Re: Ben Murray-Bruce: Anambra Doesn't Owe Salaries Despite Not Being An Oil State by coolscott(m): 3:24am On Jun 18, 2016*

omenka:
Ok. Bayelsa is an oil producing state, your state for that matter, and is owing 5months salaries. Can we then say, using your logic in reverse, that is proof true federalism can't work in Nigeria Mr Obamanikoro Bruce Lee??

Remember, in logic, if a statement is FACT or TRUE, then it means the "negative statement" and the "reverse outcome" would also be a FACT or TRUE. - GST 107.

[size=13pt]The fact that Anambra doesn't have oil, has not gone to acquire loans and does not owe salaries, but Bayelsa state (which produces oil) owes salaries under our current arrangement, is further proof that what we are having now won't work, and true federalism is what will work

Current arrangement (Dependence on Center)
Scenario 1: Anambra with no oil (perhaps on account of no oil) strives to earn and generate money for itself. Ends up owing no workers
Scenario 2: Bayelsa state with oil (perhaps because there is oil) still leans heavily on fed allocs and derivation. Ends up owing workers

Conclusion:
The present arrangement = struggling states.
States doing what true federalism will force all states to do = doing well even without oil (Lagos, Anambra)
Remember also that Mr. Bruce is not attacking the owing states for owing, but pointing to the solution to such poverty as leads to the owing.

Okay are you saying the newspaper (a private business) is corrupt?

Well, how does that have anything to do with the things highlighted in the article?

The writer did not even say that president Buhari is corrupt. He just pointed out things that the federal government is doing under him. Things that are in the public domain and no one is even trying to hide. Everyone knows there's militancy in the south, the economy took a hit in the past months and investors have been leaving.

These are things that NTA, AIT and Channels report everyda.

[size=13pt]From what I see, it is very likely that the professionals in the cabinet do not respect Amaechi.

What in everyday life has Amaechi been a professional at? What is his professional career?

They disrespect him because they know that he has succeeded at nothing outside politics and he did not earn any stripes in politics based on any professional achievements prior to Dr. Peter Odili bringing him into politics.

It is not easy for veteran professionals in the cabinet [/size]

I have also said that Gen. Buhari's getting involved in politics this time around only serves to destroy his legend and he shouldn't have run this time around.

Those desperate for power pushed and goaded him into it this time around and they succeeded because he really wanted it inside of him. He had earlier said he would not run any more simply because he had come to see it as an impossible task, draining much from him emtionally and otherwise especially at the point of defeat.

No he has successfully decimated whatever legend he had. He destroyed it even before this certificate issue rose up in 2016

Good! Though i voted the ill-prepared/heartless nomad, i want him thrown out of office!...BUT pdp is NEVER an option either!!!

[size=13pt]Your statement shows the way you voted in the last elections. You voted APC against PDP.

Instead of trying to choose the best individual amongst the flawed candidates presented to us.
I had planned not to vote GEJ in 2015 way back on election day, 2011.

But when the candidates emerged, because the alternative was not good enough, I voted GEJ.

If events had seen Fashola emerge as APC flag bearer, I might have voted him

But if events had seen Ibrahim Shekarau remain in the APC and emerge flag bearer, I would have had almost zero inhibitions. I would have voted for Shekarau (and by extension the APC).

Mind you, I am from the south-south.

What this one year or so has shown me is that Nigerians are really less intelligent than I thought.

amaechi1:
Please, don't cry more than the bereaved? There are millions of young Nigerians that are being picked up from street for mere hawking or strolling and they are languishing in different prisons without being charged to court or released. Is FFK more Nigerian than others. Do want to raise unnecessary dust to catch attention.
However, FFK has been charge to court and he will have his day from friday 17 June, 2016. About 17 witnesses have being called to testify against him.
I will not worry my head for any politician being accused for corruption. They should sort themselves out.

Okay. I think he actually might have had his hand in the cookie jar sha. I think it is possible.
But I think the government should empower itself by following due process.

What made me think there is a chance he had his hand in the jar was
1) the fact that his lawyers did not put out any sweeping/serious statement from him (I don't know if he has such liberties to put out statements while in custody even if through his lawyers)

2) The fact that he went religious about the whole thing at a certain point. That looked like an attempt to easily whip up much needed sentiments in his favour at that point. In that statement, not much of weight appeared and I know he is a brilliant mind and loves to bring factual substance to support his position at any time. Resorting to whipping up religious emotions at that time made me think something might be wrong

Whatever the case, we are going to find out.

Just shut up and look for something to do. Rubbish.

[size=13pt]The thing about following the rule (of law) is that if you don't tomorrow, will circumvent procedure and say "After all, you also circumvent the procedure".

The federal govt is actually shooting themselves in the foot by doing what they are doing - expressing their deep conviction that if they follow due process, they will not make headway in their fight.

Nobody should support them in this because it may be FFK today, a nobody to you, but it could be you or your beloved one tomorrow.

The government cannot be seen to be breaking the law because by doing so, they are enabling others to do the same and will lose the moral high ground to call others to order when others attempt to break those same laws.[/size]

Politics › FFK Has Been Detained For 33 Days Now Without Charge. What's The Govt's Response by coolscott(op): 8:49pm On Jun 14, 2016

[size=13pt]Clearly, a man guilty of stealing when picked up should be taken to court and tried.
The president of the NBA has cited the example of in the US in which the the governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison on June 27, 2011.

He was not denied bail but he was sent to court. The authorities new there was no need to deny him bail. But when the verdict was read (and sentenced pronounced) he went straight to jail. There was no need for drama in the process besides the due process.

You do not arrest people and start investigating them (looking for evidence against them) when they are in detention. You arrest them, take their statements, set a date for the courts and let them go on bail. This is because you arrest people after you have confirmed your suspicion with bankable evidence against them.

These people in EFCC know this very well because they are law enforcers. That is their job. If they did not know, the constant repetition of this within the polity by lawyers and senior advocates etc, some of whom are even pro APC should have educated them by now.

What we observed however is their illegally laying seige on the man's house. And when he took to twitter to raise alarm about it and journalists started coming around, the law enforcement officers withdrew on orders from their superiors. If they were not doing what they felt was wrong, why would they ask their men to withdraw when journalists started showing up.

Now FFK has been in detention for about 33 days. What is the federal government saying about this?[/size]

How can the govt convince us that it is not because of his detailed and convincing writings about the implications of its failings here and there that he is being kind of kidnapped?

If they were an anti-corruption bunch the least they should have done was, if FFK's point's were so biting, make the appropriate adjustments in the right directions. The truer the points he made seemed to be, the greater the need to attempt required adjustments.

I say it would have been better for you not to reveal your political leanings using your account, but again, maybe it was good because at least now it gives us an insight into your mind.

For your information sir, the WHOLE country never accepted Jonathan's defeat in good fate. If they did can you explain the sudden agitations from the SE region that has plagued the government since May 29 2015?

Am quite sure you are aware that recent militant activities are an offshoot of those same agitations but you won't say so.

The government has made meaningful progress in keeping to it's mandate. It has beefed up security (applicants no longer pay to apply for government vacancies) and also commenced implementation of it's social intervention programs.

What I expect you to do is write an even longer epistle asking all those who have stolen and stashed our foreign exchange in their bedrooms and faraway lands and banks to return the money. Tell those who are painful losers to accept defeat magnanimously and pray for Nigeria's progress and stop being a peddler of lies and bad omen.
