Biggysmalls919: But what are those non indegenes still doing there? Businesss, and looking for eze igbo of sabon gari. Una eyes don clear. Sadly, these people will still go back so why should i care?

gratiaeo: SW are wicked imagine Dayokanu tribalizing the thread already instead of showing sympathy to the victims

dayokanu: [size=13pt]MASSOB must get into action now

They should stop organising gyrations in Onitsha and face real issues affected Ibos in the country[/size]

Dudu_Negro: First, SE is not even 15% of the national population.

Second, because no one else in Lagos is chest beating about their numbers except ibos, it is easy for you to believe in your own trumpeted claims but I should remind you that Hausa has a higher population than Ibos in Lagos.

Third, SS is not a culture, tribe or ethnicity. SS has two ruling parties, ACN and PDP.

Fourth, MB is not an ethnic group, as long their governors remain in the NGF, their voting will follow suit.

Fifth, APGA is dead! So beside voting a Yorubaman, an Hausa/Fulani or GEJ, whoelse is Ibo youths going to vote for?

Dudu_Negro: So far there are three contenders to the Presidency

1. A possible SW candidate under APC
2. A possible NW candidate under APC
3. GEJ as an incumbent on PDP.

Igbo youths are issuing empty threats to intimidate Jonathan. Beside Jonathan, I don't see anyone else they will vote for and APC does not need the SE to win national 2/3.

FSU: These are faceless Igbo-Yoruba youths. All genuine Igbos stand with GEJ

Ola Johnson: Who you be? I live in PH, and I know no Rivers man, not even Ikwerre will support Igbo.

Emperor_007: Really?


Amaechi should remember the first rule, you don't / can't outshine your master.


Time would tell.

kkkp: Odey!! Go bk 2 east

tokunboh: May you remain blessed, chief. You are one of the few people that have been objective on this thread. This interview brought Amaechi's ignorance to the fore.
I don't know what people take eloquence to be - Eloquence is simply fluent, strong and persuasive speaking.
Was Rotimi Amaechi eloquent? No, he might have spoken english fluently but his delivery was poor, weak and not persuasive.
He gave a lot of vague responses and usual rhetoric to questions asked.

3.15 - On how to address insecurity through education - The solution he absolutely agreed with is the northern governors setting aside 2percent of their resources for education (spending 2percent out of 100percent on education is what Gov Amaechi thinks is best for northern states education - That's his ignorance on display again.

4.15 - On how to address unemployment: ..... one of the ways of addressing it is Agriculture.. Rivers State Government is looking at Agriculture, Agriculture will then address the uneducated class...wtf!!! Does that make any sense at all? !!!

7.15 - On the reasons why the Petroleum Industry Bill(PIB) has not been passed: .... He commended the present national assembly for being patriotic (They have not been able to pass PIB into law during the 2 legislative years that they have been at the national assembly, yet he called them patriotic ffs.) The only example Ameachi could cite as one of the reasons for the delay in passing the PIB is the power PIB would give to the minister of petroleum.

12.35 - When asked on his opposition to amnesty granted to Niger Delta militants and if he has any alternative to amnesty: He could not offer any alternative . He then proceeded to equate amnesty granted to Niger Delta militants to amnesty request for Boko haram - How shallow? (The anchor now went ahead to lecture him on how amnesty has reduced violence and restored peace in Rivers State - That is so disappointing.

For the remainder of the interview, Ameachi just dwelt on technicalities rather than solid facts.
With the above amongst other numerous missteps that portrayed him as being shallow, how can you tell me he did well on this interview. We should learn how to analyze things based on substance and content.

mekaboy: Seriously something needs to be done about these arms. Its either the FG wakes up, spend money and secure our boarders,equip our customs and block all illegal routs to nigeria. Provide the customs and army with joint patrol vehicles. After securing our boarders and sure that no illegal arms are smuggled. Then return to those lebanese that were arested for arms, beat the living day light out of them, they will say the whole truth.

Then conduct pure investigation, arrest all those involved and sentence them. Conduct proper house to house search in the north. If you are found with any for of arms, death sentence.

We won't be here on nairaland joking while the north is planning war. If they fail to do this, let every nigerian above 18 be allowed to own a gun legally.
