Nice pics the children of hate will not read, Nigeria is very educated. But I don't. And never what to learn from history. Let listen to the message and the political under tone. Make research and know if the information is true.
So is only today that the minister came to rivers that wike remember he will inspect that very road in rivers or does the minister not permitted to come to rivers again we should think in this country
TheTrueSeeker: No this should be investigated and if found true then the Minister should be sacked and arrested. The Governor has the right of way in his state.
This is an insult and an affront on the good and peace-loving people of Rivers State
Those journalist should pls give us their own unbiased version as I just saw a different version claiming it was CRA that escaped assassination attempt
Kanu wife is not telling us the truth. In Igbo land since she has confirmed that kanu is dead she should do the needful. By go to kanu family house so they can do the burial and all the burial rite and mourn him for six months or there there about with her mourning cloths is only them I can believe her and take her serious.
tonzo: I want to pour out my mind about both States. I am a lagosian by birth and a Deltan by Origin.I love Delta and Lagos state. Lagos state has transformed from a crown colony city into a mega city.The state has produced governors that have become famous for their giant strides. lateef jakande is known for creating a master plan for Lagos and also rapidly building affordable housing estates. burba maruwa known to have introduced tricycle aka keke maruwa as means of transportation and also invested in real estate . Bola Tinubu known for his vast wealth of administration. he opened the new Lagos cities lekki,ajah,ikorudu,magodo,ikotun etc Tinubu is known for his dexterity in anointing square pegs in square holes.fashola is known for the famous brt transport service,completion of the teslim balogun stadium, completion of the lekki ikoyi suspension bridge,construction of lekki express wayetc.Ambode rapidly transforming Badagary,constructing over 200 roads within s short time in office.Lagos is on the right part to a mega city.Lagos state has successfully created an environment that allows the private sector to drive the paste of the economy. eko oni baje
Delta state is an oil rich state in Niger delta.The state has all the resources to surpass the success story of Lagos but ,the leaders and pattern of leadership has negatively delayed the infrastructural development of the state.
contractors handling projects in delta state need to have a change in attitude.Roads are poorly constructed and sometimes abandoned by contractors.contractors claim that the terrain of the state makes it difficult to construct standard roads.A very big lie cos the roads late governor ogbemudia of the defunct bendel state constructed are still motorable.upper erediawa,warri-npa road etc.
Delta state is one of the few states to have several higher institutions yet the government cannot harness the pool of wealth within its reach.When a government employs qualified graduates into the civil service another government will boot them out into the streets. most of the oil and gas jobs in Delta are contract jobs,qualified deltans are left to face the Shylock community leaders to get a job.after paying huge sums to get a contract job that might last within 1-3years,the hopeless employee is desperate to grab all he can grab ,after all its a contract job that comes to an end sometimes unannounced. While the permanent jobs are secured by none deltans from Lagos where most oil companies have their headquarters.
Delta state used to be a very neat state in the early 90s.presently, heaps of garbage can be sighted in popular highways within the metropolis. ie jakpan junction, effurun sapele road,some parts of DSC express way etc.
Delta state has a seaport,two air ports,a petroleum training institute and a petroleum university, stadium in all its local government, crude oil and excess gas,palm kernel,rubber trees, timber,steel company etc .Yet,economically the state is stagnant.
we need to put Delta state on the road map to giant strides.The government, the citizens ,the community heads ,the civil servants,the legislative arm etc all have to have a change in attitude .
Delta state has all it takes to become an industrial hub and a centre of tourism and entertainment. enough of the old slogan 'warri no dey carry last'
#Reformed Delta #warri no dey lazy My brother our leader in Delta State is caused. They have made the youth dumb.
diadem10: What are you doing in someone else's community/town in the first place? Your archaic grazing methods are no more wanted, hence you're expected to leave for your base but you evils won't listen.
So Nigeria shouldn't complain in south Africa of the killing because south Africa people don't want them. Let be objective in our argument.
Scatterscatter: Buhari swore an oath to keep Nigeria together against all odds. Just go and continue drinking ur god's (NK) urine
God bless you and your generations. Pls remind them they totally forget that can anybody remember me the oath (NK) took. Nigeria is country which all of them uses it passport to travel all over the world. Not the so-called biafra.
It takes kanu months and weeks to prepare for his ekwlobia show with telling many to prepare for it but PMB announce his coming that day and such crowd follow him imagine if they say it in two days alone that he is coming just think of the crowd that would have waited for him. I rest my case.
shortgun: The difference is clear, only zombies will associate with a man who says one thing and do another.
If not for the northern almajiri illiterates and the myopic brainwashed slaves in d west the name Buhari would have remained in the history books.
Aare2050: Well, i say congratulations to general Muhammadu Buhari. It's not a sweet thing to be ill, thank God that he's ok now and fit to resume office. Alhamdulilah.
Good morning Nigerians Now that our president is coming back today, after 100 days in another mans country, i think we should welcome him and encourage him to do more and not broadcast to us on monday that he's going to be working from home and not from the presidency office, lets not take any Chance's. Biko
To prof Yemi osibanjo, i say congratulation, a leader Worthy of emulation, kudos to you sir. I wish you and your administration success sir. Because if you succeed then Nigeria is happy, but if the other way round, then you have failed us.
To Aisha, make sure you expose those cabals that made your husband send you to the other room, we can't be a stranger in our own land. Help us resque Nigeria.
We were told that by now, everybody should be able to start importing pms and selling in lower price, here we are buying at the rate of 145naira. 89% darkness no electricity supply, going to a year now after my service year, no employment and i know graduates who have spent 5 to 9 yeas without job.
Don't just let me start, i have many things to say...
Thank God you said 5 to 9 years and PMB has only spent two years in office advice yourself
DamiBukola: Can you argue strictly on what the law says whether she is guilty or not and stop this shenanigans.
Please I am waiting to read your legal opinion and not some shameless ranting of corruption. I think it's time we talk like educated people.
nice to know u are lawyer but u think she can win. She save the money she has multimillion $ hotel estate other investment when many evidence start coming up let up, do not shout wicth hunting here I beg in d name of God. Fayose when dey form James bound he did not no say he is busy with Eitki work. If i were her I will keep quiet like his husband. I pit Nigeria with our past Leader action. May God bless and keep PMB for us. He is a prayer answer of the catholic church for over decade now when they pray against bribery and corruption. If u no the pray one of the line says dat God should give us leader that can fight corruption. If u need the pray ask for catholic hymns book at the back u will see the pray u will know that PMB is pray answered.
I believe he has the backing of the presidency but underground no man can make such revelation in Nigeria and be free. The Speaker shot him self by suspending him. The house should clear them self. Buhari waiting for the masses to react first. Remember he needs them to succeed as a president. Different arms of govt to avoid interference. In order arms of govt.
saintkel: If only dis man will get d backing of Buhari, d man fighting corruption, but I see dis swept under d rug like old times

unclejb2: The pressure and heat has become too much for John Tsoho. Let Buhari continue rigamaroling around this case. The end justifies the means. Freedom is near
read it well it was kanu legal team that ask the judge to this qualifies itself. So kanu will stay long there the better he allowed himself to be tried the better for him. Else he will stay long
LordVarys: Both sides are edging towards some sort of deal that will get the money flowing again – to the Treasury and to the Delta
There is an inexorable logic to the tortuous negotiations between the government and the Niger Delta Avengers, the most determined of the militant groups launching attacks in the oil-producing mangrove swamps and creeks. Without oil production, neither side has anything to talk about.
That doesn't make the talks inevitable, however. There is a new wave of anger in the Delta, following the death of Chief Thomas Osen Ekpemupolo, the Tunteriwei of Gbaramatu Kingdom and father of the militant leader, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo. At Chief Thomas's funeral in Warri last week, his family blamed soldiers for his death: the octogenarian Chief had been fleeing an attack on his house when he tripped and fell.
Although Tompolo, who is wanted by the government on corruption charges linked to a state security contract, has distanced himself from the Avengers, he has widespread support among the new generation of militant groups. Having fought in the creeks for almost two decades, he enjoys semi-mythical status in the region. As a local security expert pointed out, Tompolo has more combat experience than the average colonel or general in the Nigerian army. That hasn't made negotiations any easier with the military and their proxies.
Several senior officers, some close to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, argue that the military can defeat the militants with a smarter strategy. They point to an operation by their Special Forces last month in which five militants were killed and two were arrested.
Other officers and civilians are more sceptical. Past experience suggests it would take a long campaign, involving more attacks on local communities and damage to oil installations, to suppress the newer militant groups. More skilled and resilient than their predecessors, they use deep-sea divers to attack far-flung pipelines and geo-positioning technology to escape capture (AC Vol 57 No 16, Juicier carrots, heavier sticks & Vol 57 No 14, Chip off the oil block).
Military gamble With the Islamist insurgency in the north-east and in neighbouring countries far from quelled, it would be a tremendous gamble for Nigeria's military to take on an even more complex and strategically critical conflict in the Delta. Last week, Arjan de Wagt, head of nutrition at the United Nations Children's Fund in Nigeria, warned that as many as 4.5 million people are in need of food aid in Borno State alone.
Although the army has chased the Boko Haram militants from the 20 local government areas they controlled a year and a half ago, jihadists are still attacking civilians and spreading fear in communities. In the absence of an effective and disciplined police force in the north-east, the military will have to play a key security role for many months to come.
Whatever happens, the military will step up its presence in the Delta but is likely to avoid all-out conflict there. Oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu, the National Security Advisor, Babagana Monguno, and State Security Service Director Lawal Musa Daura, head a special team whose task it is to end the crisis.
After the government played down the Avengers' attacks on oil installations this year, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo admitted this month that the country has lost an average of one million barrels of oil a day for the past six months. Combined with the precipitate price fall at the end of last year, that explains much of the financial crisis. It also means that the 2016 budget, premised on an average production of 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd), is not remotely feasible. Even at that level of production, the government would have had to borrow over US$6 billion to finance its bold capital spending programmes. Now it is struggling to pay state salaries.
This week, Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki called for the government to start selling off its oil industry assets: that would have the twin benefits of reducing the government's liabilities to fund oil production and raising much needed cash immediately, he argued. It's unlikely that President Muhammadu Buhari, a staunch believer in national control of the oil industry, will listen to such advice.
Buhari has won some credit in the Delta over the past few months for prolonging the Presidential Amnesty Programme under Paul Boroh, despite both plummeting state revenue due the oil price collapse and mounting evidence of the PAP's central role in corruption under the previous government of Goodluck Jonathan.
In coming months, the disgraced Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Patrick Akpobolokemi, faces many days in court over the Okerenkoko maritime university affair (AC Vol 57 No 4, The great militant chase). The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which brought the prosecution of former Nimasa officials, also has a case against former PAP boss Kingsley Kuku for his alleged looting of PAP funds. Kuku is in the United States, having failed to secure the People's Democratic Party nomination for the Ondo State governorship race in November.
As for the maritime university that Nimasa had planned for the Gbaramatu Kingdom, in July former Rivers State Governor and now Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi poured cold water on its likely construction. That was widely interpreted as a snub, not only to the Ijaw political elite – Gbaramatu is the spiritual centre of Ijaw nationalism – but specifically to Tompolo, eminent local resident and officially retired militant kingpin.
Gbaramatu is Tompolo's base of operations and has been on a high state of alert all year. Alongside Akpobolokemi and others, he is named in the alleged $175 mn. money laundering operation siphoned through Nimasa under President Jonathan's rule. Tompolo refuses to appear in court and army manhunts for him into the interior of Gbaramatu have yielded only local resentment towards the military's heavy-handedness. His whereabouts remain the subject of intense speculation.
The Gbaramatu Peninsula neighbours Exxon's oil and gas-gathering facility and export terminal, and is a trunk route for the West African Gas Pipeline, which originates at Escravos and runs, eventually, to Ghana. It's also within striking range of Shell's Forcados export terminal, which the Avengers attacked on 14 February in a spectacular and highly technical operation, bombing its underwater pipeline.
It's taken seven months for the pipeline, which normally carries 400,000 bpd to the Forcados Export Terminal, to be operational. According to sources close to Shell and the other operating companies using the pipeline, 250,000-300,000 bpd were lost over seven months, at an average price of $45 per barrel. That's a loss to Shell of $3 bn.
Politically both sensitive and combustible, the Gbaramatu area is strewn with weapons and ammunition dumps. Tompolo's supporters have had months to prepare the ground for battle. Defence Minister Mohammed Mansur Dan-Ali presided in mid-September over what was advertised as a 'military drill' of 10,000 soldiers, including Special Forces, around the creeks of Twon-Brass on the Nun River, Bayelsa, a safe distance down the coast from Gbaramatu. It was dubbed 'Operation Crocodile Smile'.
'It's not to harass, intimidate or threaten the community but to protect them from so called miscreants and oil thieves,' Dan-Ali told a closing ceremony of senior officers, in what most in the Ijaw-majority region will interpret as a clear signal that the military men mean business.
In August, Bayelsa Governor Henry Seriake Dickson – speaking through his Deputy, Gboribiogha John Jonah – condemned the killing of three soldiers by presumed oil thieves at a notorious trouble spot, Nembe Creek. Jonah was flanked by Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie, who since January has been commander of Operation Delta Safe, which has replaced the Joint Task Force (JTF) and the sprawling Operation Pulo Shield, and now has one unitary headquarters at Igbogene, near Yenagoa, Bayelsa.
The tenure of Okojie's predecessor in command, Major Gen. Alani Okunlola, has been severely criticised as a cat's cradle of overlapping operations to secure waterways and catch 'bunkerers', under the cover of which, in many cases, the now-defunct JTF's officers are accused by locals of stealing the oil and gas themselves. Dickson has urged Buhari to continue negotiations with the Avengers.
Since the Avengers announced a unilateral ceasefire on 20 August, ostensibly to give negotiations a chance, the government has been quiet about its strategy. The Avengers appointed Edwin Clark, the veteran Ijaw leader and advisor to Jonathan, as leader of their negotiating team.
Some in the government may think that with the prospect of production restarting at Forcados and Qua Iboe later this month, there is no desperate hurry to talk to the militants. With the army planning to raise its strength in the region to 10,000 by early next year, security officials may calculate that they will get a better deal if they keep up the military pressure first.
Yet regional delegations meeting Oil Minister Kachikwu, who also hails from the Delta, have argued against that view. They warn that other militant groups are proliferating alongside the Avengers and would deepen the crisis if the government didn't act quickly on several regional issues. These include the release of detainees, and the return of three speed boats and the 'Golden Sword' of the Gbaramatu Kingdom, which were seized by Nigerian soldiers. http://www.africa-confidential.com/article/id/11784/No_oil%2c_no_money%2c_no_deal
cktheluckyman: the incompetent Gen Buruntashi and his operation crocodile sleep soldiers are only good at shooting at unarmed civillians.Gosh!!!

The better, they stop. The good for all. The IGR of south south will continue to go down. because is based on this oil company. To me the south south Govs know them so they should call them to order. Remember that this present administration is not laying much emphasis on oil. They will make them achieved there aim easily of non-oil nations by there the Niger Delta can't speak with his head tall in nations again. Just my opinion that I feel is the best for our region let for being lord for now. I save the nation so we can earn our respect.
Pls be reminded that mama peace was never mention in the cases is so far d account was not open on her name she can never laid own of such money so if the people dat plead guilty mention name. She can stand for there bail if the court permit her and she can ask does people to abscond. With that she will be fully involved in matter. So I believed with dat d case can rest Judika
NextGovernor: One thing I have noticed is when Buhari and his co travellers are been lamblasted for poor performance and poor state of the nation, they bring out something to keep the citizens busy for sometime so as to forget everything happening. In as far as I don't support corruption, EFCC under Buhari are for a revenge mission. We have seen from the past how they are always quick to swing into corrupt opposition case but will never attend to APC corrupt cases.
Everybody has forgotten and moved on with Budget padding, Burutai Dubai Massion and so many corruption cases of the people in government been swept under the carpet. The worst of all is when it comes to opposition, you see APC loyalist shouting "our money" and some will even say it's the cause of this recession. But when it comes to people in power looting inspite of the present state of the nation, you will hear them saying they saved from there salary to arquire millions of dollar properties, some will say no evidence against them.
It is high time we condemn corruption irrespective of the party involve not using EFCC and DSS as a tool for revenge and oppression. The accuse is seeking for invite to clarify herself but instead she wasn't even invited but court is already acting on the matter. I have never seen where someone accused of stealing, robbery, murder, corruption been charged to court without been arrested or invited.
EFCC has been chasing shadow for the past 1 years and 4 months now. They are only very active on page of newspapers, disobeying democratic orders and spreading lies everywhere.
Sorry cursing is good stoning should have been d besst. Awarding dat project dat os not up to 50millon for 5billon is wickedness to highest order. I know d town too well am a student in d community dat has know nepa light for close to 3years now. Dey finish dis country
I remember Otuokens cursing Jonathan sometimes last year for not having access to potable water and good road. In their words "Jonathan was a curse to the community".
I am sure when the government completes and commissions many others, his zombies will remind us how "Buhari is taking glory for another man's work". Such is how foolish the Jonathanians are that they don't see anything wrong in a man who couldn't complete a single project in over five years.
Jonathan is an example of WHO SHOULD NEVER BE A PRESIDENT!
I know ogabi very well and live in d town. I wept d day I hear is 5 billion naira. D project didn't near 100 million. Gej finished Nigeria. The worst case scenario is d pie pass through following Gunter in d town. Take sentiment part.
gare: What's the truth? The bushes in the school, send the pictures, so others can see that the schools have been taken over by bushes.
for your information and knowledge, I don't hate him, I just dislike his way of politics and his ways of doing things.
If after 1yr the school is there and bush have carry it pls blame the current government. But if there is chemical they use on grass for eternity pls let us know. Children of hate. Even GEJ knows Amachie did wonders in Rivers.
cckris: Buhari's anti-corruption is nothing but DECEPTION
Can Buhari probe Amaechi? NO !
Amaechi did not leave money in rivers but wike meant money for contract and paying of salary. Amaechi need probe but he did most of Federal road dat still stands test of time The East West road and almost provides himself security during his time. For he God has anointed man can not bring down. Leave Amaechi alone even rivers knows is the best
eshietIntrepid: Imaging how soon the table has turn is buhari that need gej help now. we should also remember that boko haram once name buhari as their mediator.
Did he accept it.
As a wise leader u seek for advice But our brother GEJ never seek advice from him about boko haram
