The Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has decried N11.5bn non-essential contracts smuggled into its 2020 budget ostensibly by members of the National Assembly.

The Acting Executive Director, Dr. Cairo Ojuogboh, said the contracts were for supply of desks and chairs to schools in the Niger Delta region.

A statement by the NDDC Corporate Affairs Director, Charles Odili, quoted Ojuogboh as saying henceforth the commission would only give priority to projects that would impact meaningfully on the region.

He insisted the commission would no longer yield to requests of including such projects in its budget to satisfy selfish considerations.

According to him: “This year alone, they put N11.5billion in the budget for the supply of desks and chairs to schools in the Niger Delta region.

“Where are the schools that you are going to put N11. 5billion worth of chairs and desks in the region?”

Ojougboh assured the commission would resume inspection of its projects across the region despite distractions, adding it was time to get back to the task of developing the Niger Delta region.

He said: “We have had enough of distractions and we have decided not to be bogged down anymore

“We will go about our work with renewed vigor. We are taking a special interest in the desilting projects, because, heavy rains are coming and some areas will be flooded.

“We will visit all the locations because no payments will be made until our engineers, quantity surveyors and the Project Monitoring and Supervision, PMS, have approved.”

He clarified the IMC headed by the Acting Managing Director, Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei, had only paid for verified jobs that done over the years.

He said contractors now sit in their homes and get alerts without visiting the NDDC office to lobby for payments.

“It has never happened before. Today, you don’t need to come to NDDC to lobby for your payments.

“Once we verify your job performance, we will pay you because a labourer is worthy of his wages,” he said.

Ojougboh expressed delight the 29-kilometre Ogbia-Nembe Road with spurs linking 14 different communities in Bayelsa would soon be commissioned.

“We were there recently on a pre-commissioning visit. Once we get an approved date from the Presidency, we shall let you know,” he said.

He said road, which cuts through the swamps with 10mbridges and 99 culverts, was one of the signature projects executed by the NDDC.

Did the bolded statements come out of the mouths of those who have benefited from lower tier educational system? What is actually wrong with most Nigerians? What project can NDDC undertake that can bring more meaningful impact than funding our elementary and secondary schools? Sometimes I cannot simply believe the type of craps that come out of the mouth of certain dingbats in Nigeria.

Growing up in the southern part of Kaduna river, I saw first hand hatred accross religious lines.

For your information, Christians are not permitted to live in Muslim communities and settlements, vice versa.

Please what period of time if I may ask?

If you do not stand for something, you fall for everything.

APC has been the hall of forgers. The apex candidate of the party never had a secondary certificate. The bagger joined Nigerian army on the nepotistic tendencies of Tafawa Balewa's government.

Nigeria is not called basket of fools for nothing.

This list is a con job. I did not see the listed companies and contracts awarded to NASS members from Ondo State, Bayelsa State, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State. This list is invalid until all contracts awarded to NASS members from NDDC states are tableted.

Greetings my Naija brothers, the time has come to put an end to this current Nigeria we cannot stand once more. My brothers from Lagos, Abuja, to Jigawa, we must all unite and change this land for once. Must end corruption in this land so we can prosper as d great Nigerians deserve. One day we shall shine and show world what we really are capable.

If we can unite we can do this, we must be strong. Come together and hope and fight for strong future for Nigeria, we can.

We know d great potential of Nigeria unachieved. We deserve much better. We d best athlete in the world, it is only matter of time for only not Nigeria to rise, but also in football. Our future with great hope be strong, I see d greatness for Nigeria, and World Cup titles in our future. D best athletes in all land, our time is due. Stay strong brothers, one day soon we can achieve.

Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream. The goons you called your brothers will slaughter you on a slightest provocation. Nigeria has not experienced unity and never will it. The best thing that will happen to the current inhabitants of the shithole called Nigeria is total and unconditional disintegration of the geographical expression.

This is the most clueless statement you have made so far....Did you just say Owerri has what Economy? Is it the place where hotel is on every street? Where boys that can’t even spell their names correctly in English are driving cars as a result of yahoo plus?
The same Owerri where there is low key yahoo school, where parents who have lost their directions in life pay for their children to learn yahoo .......God forbid that kind of economy for my dear state.
You say Akwa-ibom state is full of house boys and house girl, at least a house boy’s picture is on the 1000 Naira note you cherish and spend. Lol.....if you truly went to school, please stop embarrassing yourself and your igbotic community.

Futuresadness.

Please watch what you do with your keyboard. You simply cannot bite the finger that fed you. Take Owerri out of your childish banter. There is a place called Las Vegas. It is all about hospitality and fun.

do ur research search 10th richest persons in nigeria..she is no.10 uyo woman ..we dont make noise..den buy handkerchief next...its just 100 naira

Do you mean my own Uyo? I hope my queens from Uyo, especially Eno, are included.

Originalsly:
Hmmm..... the problem is not cart pushing... nor collecting waste... the problem is where they dump the waste. So we should allow them to choke the canals and dump garbage anywhere because they are "hustling"? When it rains... there is flood... garbage floating around because of the choked drainage systems.... who do we then blame? To too many of us... they have two choices in life.... cart pusher or criminal. Something is wrong with too many of us.... mentally.

Most Nigerians have funny stream of thought. If there is no problem in waste collection, there should be equally no problem where trash is dumped.

simeotexy:
i think u dont know that is an akwa ibom woman that is 10th richest person in nigeria do ur research.richer than the two folks above...see individually akwa ibom no be rivers people mate lets only argue with igbos in terms of achievements ..u guys can only burst of more touts than us

Are you sure this scenario is good for our collective health?

Saphire16:
jut like Christians with their beliefs, Muslims have theirs too



not all Muslims support the incessant killings

Please forget the Christianity crap. Beliefs or no beliefs, most Nigerians are airheads.

able20:
In a country like Nigeria, government cannot handle little services effectively why not train those guys on waste mgt. and show them where to dispose the refuse.

Bro you are flogging a dead horse. If not for the bribery money it generates, LAWMA should be abolished because it is not equal to the task. I can bet my last cent that at the time when this idiotic LAWMA roundedup cart pushers, there were trashes begging to be removed in Lagos State.

NoToPile:
Wrong , they do generate waste these people go to dump the refuse in different locations some on the road,the road median some in swamps, in bushes in canals etccreating black spots up and down and the same LAWMA will be called to clean up.

Okay let me ask you, where do the cart pushers dump their waste? You see that is the problem they dump the waste in illegal places.

I know for sure its not ojota or igando dump site these people dump the waste.

You must agree to the fact that the due diligent response of LAWMA in removal of trash from the communities will have no room for cart pushers. The remedy to the menace, if any, instigated by cart pushers does not lie in parading them as criminals. In fact, a well coordinated effort would have led to easy removal of trash in Lagos State. The main aim of the so-called managing director of LAWMA would have been a way to incorporate the cart pushers into the link of smooth and correct method to dispose trash in Lagos State. Africans do not seemed to think constructively. You should equally agree that the cart or truck pushers main job is not removal of trash. If the LAWMA, like any goofy Nigerian outfit, slacks on its job, the road is open to cart pushers to make extra Naira.

Approximately 3m nyamuri flat.heads dead during the Bia.fraud war... is this ur definition of "tooth and nail"

Your idiotic Nigeria have numerical advantage over Biafra and was supported by many countries yet Biafra did a number on your dirty ass. Nigeria must be disintegrated and I do not care if it takes another round of war to achieve. By the way, the eyes are widely opened around the shithole called Nigeria. Granted that certain goons in Nigeria cannot be trusted because there are too many J.S. Tarka onboard, however the shape of the next round of war in Nigeria should be different from the first.

LAWMA Clamps Down on Cart Pushers in Somolu, Bariga

Concerned by the growing trend of environmental degradation occasioned by the activities of cart pushers, the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has embarked on a clampdown on all forms of cart pushing in Somolu and Bariga area of the Strate.

A release issued by the Acting Managing Director of LAWMA, Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, on Saturday, stated that the Agency has stepped up efforts to make Lagos cleaner and livable for all through the introduction of novel waste management programmes in the State, as well as supporting PSP operators to discharge their primary duties effectively.

Odumboni, however, pointed out that efforts to protect the environment were being hampered by the activities of cart pushers who engaged in flagrant acts of indiscriminate waste disposal in such places as canals, road medians and undeveloped property, among others.

According to him, “The menace of cart pushing in some parts of the State has led to the rise of indiscriminate waste disposal and exposure of residents to myriads of health hazards, especially during this period that the Lagos State Government is tackling the COVID-19 pandemic”.

“We cannot fold our hands and watch few unscrupulous elements jeopardise efforts of the State Government to make the Lagos metropolis cleaner, healthier and livable for all. To this effect, all forms of cart pushing remains banned and anyone caught contravening the Environmental Laws of the State will face the full wrath of the law”, he added.

The Acting Managing Director, therefore, appealed to residents to imbibe the culture of bagging waste and handing it to the assigned PSP operators instead of patronising cart-pushers or dumping refuse on the roads and other unauthorised locations, urging residents to call LAWMA toll-free lines 07080601020 and 617 for all complaints and inquiries.

How do the cart pushers add to environmental degradation in Lagos State? The dudes are not market square and do not generate any form of waste from pushing the carts. Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni is compound dunce. I hope Ibrahim Odumboni becomes the first victim when some of these kids who perform this lowest and most tedious job in society turn to armed robbery.

ekesol:
Like i have said in previous post, Rivers state is imaginary. the Nigeria Government in a bid to subjugate ndigbo immediately after the Biafra-Nigeria Civil war ceded many parts of igbo land to neigbouring South South with the prime motive of saying igbos dont have oil.

Many parts of Rivers state is imo state,i can authoritatively state that 60% of Rivers state are igbos. From ,Egbema,Ugbele, Ndoni, Omoku, Ahoada,Asa, Ndoki Ikwerre,Obogbo, Etche, even their very Bonny and Opobo.
40% of Okrika speak Igbo . Opobo constitute 98% igbo language and people .

The Mbgede, and Akiri in Egbema they are talking bout are Ohaji Egbeme People of Imo state.
I stand to be challenged by any body who has any contrary opinion to What i have posited here.

In all of these , We are all Biafrans
Udo!

The northern and western political and military elites used the draconian boundary adjustment program to punish Ndigbo by ceding all crude oil producing areas to Rivers State. You should be mindful though that at the juncture of the boundary adjustment exercise, every ingrate in Rivers State was a saboteur. It is funny these goons still hope for unity in Nigeria.

Anybody who was involved in the boundary adjustment in the shithole called Nigeria should be shot on sight. It is a shame that Nigerians stood and allowed such individuals to create everlasting enmity among Nigerians. Why would Rivers State stretched all the way to Meet Anambra State while ignoring Imo State? The criminal laden boundary commission should be disbanded or forced to return the territories which were ceded to Rivers State to Imo State. Most goons in the shithole called Nigeria keep yarning for unity when the factors for unity are skewed to achieve the opposite.

I guess all these hypocrites showering praises on Sam will not run to their tribal prayer houses when they learn about Efe's exploit as a Biafran soldier.

Akwa Ibom, my adopted state in the shithole called Nigeria, actually disappointed me with the wasteful approach on the International worship or whatsoever it is called. There is and must be observed the essence of separation between Church and State. The government of Akwa Ibom has no business squandering state's fund on a place of worship. The state has been on the roll for good things until this silly place of worship.

Sonnyboom:
Foolish people claim Tinubu who the presidential candidate he supported won 2 terms even in the midst of glaring failure. What will you now say about the kleptomaniac Peter Obi that failed as ordinary VP after looting Anambra to death ?

What the hell is about Tinubu? Do the Yari.ba political touts forget the fact that Osunbunjo is the VP and from South west? Does the VP not considered as a factor in the political equations of certain numbskulls from a section of shithole called Nigeria?

Bannylove13:
Omenka .... you no be Benue man again...

Tinubu na criminal... brown teeth puppet emperor of Yoruba land... Dan Banza Bayerebe ..

He’s the god of all Yoruba gods... the god of Yoruba tribe of Nigeria .. many Yoruba people worship him ... and are manipulating Nigerians to worship Tinubu in their little minds ..

When the brown teeth fool and his druggie woman the insult igbos ... na romance dem be Dey do ba?

No matter how southwest wan sell Tinubu... they failed already .. that idiot won’t smell that seat... like the Yoruba mini gods before him...

Tinubu is a tribalistic bigot... like “ them” so they see no qualms ... is a DNA thing..
His worshippers can react all they want ... Nigerians care less...
if Yoruba wan react... no body Dey hold them na dia right..

Over here some people god na another people bandits and crook..

Tinubu is a thief.. if e pain you.. enter xpress.

Trust Yari.ba peep on your wasteful peril. Thank goodness Chameleon is not poisonous.

This Osunbunjo of a dude is acting like a dunce. Who does not know in the shithole called Nigeria that everything, including the air we breath, is influenced by the elites?

Saphire16:
As the good Muslim that he is, he knows that tomorrow is in the hands of God, just as who will be the Governor by 2023 is also known to God alone.

Please forget the Muslim crap. After all, the goon from Katsina State via Daura is not a bad Muslim.

The only governor in the shithole called Nigeria with brain cells.

IkwerrePikin:
The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River sitting directly on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean

I don’t know why you igbos are bordered about the Niger delta region you do not belong to.

All Niger delta states Is on the gulf and have access to the Atlantic Ocean.

With this level of thought process, you will never receive admission into schools of higher learning outside the shithole called Nigeria.

MightySparrow:
Igbos don'! know what they want

Even if all drunk Nigerians agreed to zone the presidency of shithole called Nigeria to south east, the zeal to have Republic of Igbo land or Biafra must still grow. I prefer Republic of Igbo land to Nigeria any given morning.

rosebowl01:
But Cross River is not touched by the Niger’s (the river) delta? Akwa Ibom too.

.

@OP,

Most of the so-called Nigerians are vapidly idiotic and would believe any crap to satisfy their tribal bias.

MetaPhysical:
Ogiso itself were chiefs sent from Ife.

Anything South of Benue took its root in Ife....including Igbo.

CrossRiver and Akwa should have been in Cameroon because they are geneticcally non-Ife. Everything else in the South had footprint in Ife.

Dont make me throw the history book ar you.

You are seriously delusional. Even Yari.ba whose origin was located Oyo Ile, 30 miles north of Ilorin would have issues telling people of Ife as their origin.

AkwaIbomMan:
Eastern Obolo is Ijoid.
They speak Andoni which is a dialect of Ijaw language

Who told you that Andoni is a dialect of Ijo? When fools are ashamed of their ancestral background they start to use silly state names as the mockery handle name.
