atlwireles: It will be quite unfair and factually untrue to say the region has not seen massive development in the last 10yrs. Remember the 13% derivation did not come into full force till 2003, the NDDC and Nigerdelta ministry stared receiving cash backed allocation in 2008. The Nigerdelta of 1999 and the Nigerdelta of 2013 is without and doubt not the same place. Those advocating for 50% minimum revenue is on the solid grounds of resource control. There's something call fiscal federalism and some of us want to see this principle applied in this country. I hope the day will come when states in Nigeria keep 87% of their vat taxes, Petroleum taxes, minerals royalties, payee taxes etc and remit 13% to Abuja. It should never be the other way round. Then people will have a reason to hold their local representative accountable, than this hybrid rubbish we have now.

rozayx5: Demdem and agbameta always relish these kind of threads, but on threads where the Government does well they are found wanting, instead of them to offer solutions they are busy running around shouting retardeeen . Shows the opposition followers are the same with their leaders

Rexxie: Pennywhistled from da arsse down southcentral behind under by da bloody saharan ppricckk..

Charles, Phc:
In an area where there's no airport, helicopter will fly over 500 times within 9 days? In a thick forest fast food and boli will be coming everyday? After walking for several km, a place where one can take okada? @Demdem, am aware there are oil companies in the Ogoni area of Rivers but am not aware they fly their helicopter over 500 times in a week and if they do then we are close to knowing the kidnappers' den. Until we know that, the helicopter could have either been that of the Police search and rescue team or that of the kidnappers themselves going on errands.

Charles, Phc:
All Glory must go to God for His Mercies and the rescue of the Bishop. The NPF should be commended for their effort cos if they flew their helicopter for that number of times around the area where the Bishop was kept, it showed they were closing in on the kidnappers and the kidnappers knew they would have no more hidding place no matter how smart they were. It's now the turn of the Bishop to secretly assist the Police in tracing the location where he was kept so the kidnappers can be apprehended.

Rexxie: Goddamit soludo never lied about da banks n besides da bank owners,shareholdas werent complainin,of any malfunction or underfunctionin in thos said banks n there was a last resort base of 25b for any eventuality which would never have happnd,tha psycho @ d C.bank only exposed practices hes bn part of,biz as usual not as if am condonin tha..so get tha in2 ur head only Cos i know thisss wha happns wen abokis get some educatn:they become educated abokis.n aliyu remains d frog

Effwazobia: Thank you so much my brother. Don't mind them jare, let them keep on jumping up celebrating mediocrity, while these so called NDDC officials are laughing all the way to the bank.

kingbang: What happened to one Nigeria? Anyway, we have dashed Ngige out to you guys! As a progressive, i expect him to be the next Lagos state Governor!

phreddie: pro Amaechi, power freaking, politicking bandit!

kingbang: FIXED!

abagoro: I wonder how most of you came about certain things you spew out here. How did Odili betray his region? Odili's plight was as a result of his ethnicity. He's an Igbo from South-south and hence was resisted from taking the turn of South-south when they were considered by OBJ for Presidency. Odili was disliked in Rivers because of his political tactics of using youths and in that process creating militancy. It is the same with Patience and Bipi's style.

Rexxie: a nation like ours got no biz keeping D naira undervalued for decades n its a shame d value of our naira doesnt rub shoulders in africa, even compared wit such nations like landlocked sudan n s.sudan,n the gambia,s.african nations,etc..n its ou record tha Soludo got that fixed if 4 da..timely intervention of folks u made idolised n made mention of here n others all frm d north..will d north ever support naisa/dollar parity even wen d economy is ripe 4 it? n btw Iweala n tha rascal gov aliyu muazu of niger state whos got da damm toad looks? huh,?
amaech=blacksheep.

Decryptor: Lol! He better run to Alausa or Tinubu and become a house-boy. Those fighting GEJ are fighting Nigeria and we know them well.

Pray: You should have been around in Obansanjo administration when Uzo Kalu Orji was outstanding in opposing him....

ddeola: At least, he has spoken his mind and the truth he wants to stand on. All those dancing around GEJ are NOT telling him the truth. By the grace of God, come 2015 Naija will be blessed with credible, reliable and honest leaders. Enough of mediocrity...

Symphony007: since ameachi became governor nothing has improved in rivers? Keep telling yourself that lie and maybe one day you'll belive it.

victorkc: It is now clear to me that Okonjo Iweala has been selling dummy to us deceiving us that all is well with the economy where as she knows quite well that all is not well, just to act out the script of the western world. What i know is that posterity will nver fail to judge all of them in the long run.[color=#006600][/color]

Emmadani: yes,yet just of recent he was awarded the best governor ever in the history of Nigeria,and just this month he was the first ever Nigerian to get a Distinguised Manager of the Year Award by the Nigerian institute of management(chattered).The president of the Institute who gave the award,Mr Olawale-cole a yoruba man ooo,he said in his words "WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN AKWA-IBOM STATE IS A SHOCKER FOR ME,I AM FROM LAGOS STATE AND I KNOW MY GOVERNOR HIS DOING HIS BEST IN LAGOS STATE,BUT WHAT I HAVE SEEN HERE IN AKWA-IBOM IS SHOCKING TO ME AND I SAID IT,I WAS ONCE IN GOVERNMENT-IN FINANCE AND WORKs,THEREFORE I SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO GOVERN WELL...!THE BEST FOR YOU IS YET TO COME,A MAN WHO HAS GOVERNED A STATE VRY WELL IS ALSO ABLE TO GOVERN NIGERIA VRY WELL"...!See dnt allow agbameta deceive you people,he his an anti-God'swill right from time,so if u want to get to know that indeed Akpabio is ahead of fashola and ameachi,go and watch AIT every wednesday by 9.30pm you will monitor the transformation series.It is not an easy thing to run a weekly documentary programme and then it runs 72 episodes not repeating one on various sector or projects.Leave agbameta a.k.a eko ile,he his a complete scam.

okpara ugo: What has your almighty Tinubu son done about it ??

Orlando Owoh: I'm surprised this foölish submission is coming from a foölish person.

barneyboy: 13,000 unemployed graduates employed by ameachi to teach in those beautiful schools top that too as one of his recent achievements na beans

Cele-pope:
You are a small boy in Politics so go and grab a cheap copy of the Nigerian constitution in Lagos hold up or go and play with sand.
