sunky644: Don't mind the fraudulent backstabber full of deceit we call our Governor. Because he has 1. built four Mega schools 2. one mother and child hospital 3. repainted roads constructed by Agagu 4. erected two fountains in Akure that makes his tenure better than Tinubu's eight years abi? It's just unfortunate that his juju still works like magic that's why we still some brainwashed bloody civilians running after and supporting him. A useless Governor who believes road construction, creation of employment, infrastructural development etc are not projects that could score him his required political point. I am quoting his words " a single term is enough for a serious minded Governor in ondo state, whoever want to impose himself on the state under the disguise of second term is bereft of ideas and will meet shame and Waterloo at the end". This words of his in April 2007 is what I am holding on to and may it befall him. -1000 likes sunky644: Don't mind the fraudulent backstabber full of deceit we call our Governor.

Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa on Sunday arrived at the Government House after about three weeks abroad, thus dispelling rumours of his poor health. Dickson, who arrived in Yenagoa at about 6.30 p.m. told curious newsmen: “Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson is as fit as fiddle by the grace of God. “This is no time for distraction and we know those who are spreading this because they are seeing us doing what they couldn’t do for five years. “I was never hospitalised in London. But you know, as usual, when you do this type of hectic thing, every year, every summer, most times when I travel out, I do regular checks. “I had a very fruitful trip abroad, which was primarily to interact with people to drive the economy of Bayelsa State.” Dickson expressed his determination to put the state on the world economic map.“That means the Bayelsa Development Corporation must have an international headquarters in London, which is the financial capital of the world. “In the next one or two months, the Bayelsa Development Corporation will be fully launched in London.” He said that the management board and committee for the corporation would be announced in a few days time. “We will have an international luncheon and sell the state to the international community and the world at large. “I am not one governor who likes to travel. For those of you who have been here for some years, you must be very familiar with frequent travelling of governors of this state and I have been here as governor for six months without any leisure trip.” NAN |

debrief08: Yes it is. If you ask her why she is staying and receiving beating she will say " I am staying for my kids" well this is what violence does to kids, The mother appeared so helpless to the girl that she had to take it on her self to defend the mom. Women should stop using thier kids as an excuse, violence in homes does more harm than good. I may be silly but I am entitled to my silly opinion. Thank You y are u silly? |
