Earthwide: Billionaire don too yeye gbawe today, abeg

Is this not further proof of how deluded and dishonest you fans of GEJ are? He walks into an ambush the entire world adjudges as very bad for him and you are deluding yourself GEJ used the power of his stare to chase Atiku and co away . I made a fool of your boy bamboozling him to confess he is a supporter of what every Nigerian should abhor because it gives us a terrible image yet somehow, in your upside down mind, you reckon it is not your boy who has been 'yeyed'

You guys are simply incredible. I keep saying it that clannish dishonesty and pack idiocy is typical to all you GEJ fans. Same as you lot are always desperate to adjudge GEJ as "winning" you are here trying to hold up the fallen hand of a self-confessed criminal when his face is totally battered and bruised. Bunch of losers.

Billyonaire: I find JOY in bringing out the madness in you, I will do it again and again given the opportunity. I love to treat your f/uck ups.

Let me reiterate and I need this on record, each time I walk into shopping malls in the USA and I speak core Nigerian English full of accent, and I am asked, if I am African, I say with Pride, "I am a Nigerian", and when I get that funny look from the oyibos, I add " The Country where the 419 emails emanate from" with a good laugh. And we laugh it off.

I am a Niger Deltan, I come from Oil and I deal on Petroleum Products, haulage, Property Development, with adept knowledge of database, programming, Cosmology, Astrology, Advance Physics, Industrial Chemistry and Mysticism.

Let me repeat, I am more proud of Yahoo boys than Gbawe, the red eyed burden and his army of parasites who adds nothing to Nigeria but pessimism. Those yahoo boys bring money into the economy and build mansions and help their parents in an economy that has barely a piece for the youth since 1960, but GEJ is changing all that now, and no one will have a need to or have to engage in the vices to survive.

If my policy makes me a Yahoo man (not a boy), then I am. No apologies to the nematodes.

Billyonaire - The Oil Prince of Niger Delta.

You have discredited yourself here and your continued verbosity will do nothing to deflect from that. Barawo, go and sleep. I forget, you have to stay up to target others in a different time zone.

deeptesting: You write like the average thug Nigeria politician, i wonder what you will do when you have argument with people in real situation..C`mon WTF! Politics of bitterness.

Here we go again. The wimps and crybabies trooping in to assist their criminal buddy who is now receiving a serious caning. A pathetic brotherhood of criminals, unethical louts and unthinking cowards. You did not note that he attacked me first here? No, of course you did not.

Tragic how not one of you fans of GEJ is upright or even vested with a minimally decent moral compass that can help you discern wrong from right. 100 times out of 100, one can trust you to clannishly and bigotedly back your own no matter that they are blatantly in the wrong and/or the aggressor. Is this indeed not why you all support GEJ?

TechyGuy: ...condescending.

Have you not read his 'confession'? Did anyone force him to confess his "joy" that Nigerian boys are scamming others for houses and cars? With his mindset, is it not obvious he is a criminal?

[quote author=St_Black]Your asinine simian countenance alludes that your fetid stench has anulled the anthropoid ape species diversity.

....Who is d handwriting on d wall for?...is it for a solid APC or ur failures called PDP?...


...Can u see that even ur own political theorems is d worst facet of human reasoning here ![/quote]Bruv, forget that. Just call him by his fitting name of Barawo or Omo Ole.

Billyonaire: hahahahahahaha, I laugh in Portuguese! A clear case of Encephalomyelitis Disseminata. I was not mistaken, you need help before you go naked on the streets. I am truly loving the madness that I bring out in you.

APC is really wealthy with people whose brains are shot-circuited. Steer clear of PDP affairs, like I said, A fractionized PDP, is no match for APC, and I mean it.

GEJ has taken control of PDP structures and we will be here chanting FRESH AIR till 2019.

Billyonaire - Bringing out the madness in nematodes.

Ole !!!! Barawo !!! Yahooze !!! Anything-for-money desperado. You have already been exposed as a fake billionaire by a female Nairaland member. Now, in black and white, we also have proof you are a common criminal and thief. You are finished here!!!! The mods should hand over your IP address to the EFCC so they can come and break down your door and cart your azz off to jail. A common criminal like you should not be here glorifying fraud and disgracing Nigeria before the world. Barawo banza !!! Omo ole!!!

Billyonaire: Stop magnifying your inept S/tu/p/i/d/i/ty. The handwriting on the wall is very very clear. You are a known magnet of failure. I could be wrong about this, but most times feel you are a victim of encephalomyelitis disseminata who should be tied up and treated before coming back to Nairaland to disgrace your network of political earthworms.

Anyone aligning with your shade of opinion radiates negativity and lack. Cos for you, who ever is rich is doing yahoo or kidnapping. You, my friend, are a dignified mor0n.

The fact that you keep amplifying your idiotic political theorems speaks louder of a larger systemic dysfunction of the cabals that you represent. I can not help you.

Ornithological specimens of identical specimens of identical plumage tend to congregate in close proximity.

Billyonaire - Only God forgives, I dont.

Yahoo Yahoo boy, you can rant all you want. All Nairalanders now know, beyond any doubt, that you are a criminal. Perhaps a kidnapper or even an armed robber along with your yahooze runs. After all, I did not force you to confess your "joy" at how young Nigerians scam others to buy shiny big mansions. Dirty criminal. Another "anything for money" desperado. Tomorrow he will be forming "businessman" and claiming to own this and that while only being a lowly criminal and worthless hustler. It is your kind who kidnap, kill and lure innocent folks to a terrible ambush all for the sake of "great houses" and "exotic cars". Piece of trash. *Spits*.

plaindealer: Ok, let'a accomodate your flawed reasoning for a second.


Yes, corruption is everywhere in Nigeria including state and local government level, but we do have crimne fighting institutions like the Nigerian police, efcc and other institutions in place to arrest these problems and th last time I checked, these are all federal agencies directly under GEJ.

So, cut and dice as much as you want, the burded still rests with GEJ, even in the article, they said nothing about Nigerian states and local governments, it says Nigeria and who is president of Nigeria?

The president is sorounded by crooks, indicted fraedstars and ex convicts, he gives, pardons, aid and comforts to criminals and convicts, his AG and main law officer is a crook, his spokesman is a crook and self-admitted fraudstar, he welcomes and fraternize with thugs and unrully elements....the list goes on and on..

Whatn government budgets billions for terrorists and I'm talking about even more money for terorist than for healthcare of it's citizens.

GEJ is a clear representation of the bad and corrupt Nigerian institutions...

Bruv, the problem is that most fans of GEJ have serious issues with basic literacy, personal honesty and simple integrity. This is why they are all a menace here daily. If it is mindless insults and barefaced lies, then they are masters of that. Yet simple comprehension is an issue. Worse still they shame Nigeria and her education system in the process.

The article itself, compiled by exposed and intelligent people who know how to think, reveals who is deemed responsible for this fall in competitiveness of Nigeria. I.e the "Jonathan administration" . Amusing how GEJ fans are, by miles, the least intelligent and most dishonest on this forum.

Despite the efforts to diversify the economy and attract investors by the Jonathan administration, Nigeria is still ranked among the stragglers in the Global Competitive Index, GCI, 2013-2014 released Wednesday by the World Economic Forum.

atlwireles: My men, where I come from, after you get beat, you shake hands and apologize for dry raking. All this your oyinbo grammatical, will hold water with me. Tell the guy say, oga I'm sorry. The man don make you dive coal tar twice already. Close your mouth before the man burst bottle for your head.

Criminality, mindless violence and thuggery together. The image is complete now. I think we all know where you "come from". Druggy motor park tout and thuggish 'yahoo yahoo' boy perhaps? A 'rehabilitated' militant, kidnapper, rapist and/or armed robber? Anyway, established is the fact you are a criminal. Typical member of GEJ fanbase. You are all shameless and examples of the unrepentant crooks who give Nigerians a bad name.

Your pal was busy praising criminals who disgrace Nigeria and you in turn are here licking his deviant butt. Worthless trash the pair of you. The sort with nothing to offer Nigeria. No wonder you are zealous and clannish GEJ supporters.

atlwireles: The man gave you a public brushing, admit it, and close your mouth.

You would think so because criminality is in your DNA and one would expect you to always speak up for your criminal buddy and co-traveller who is too unintelligent to realise he was being goaded by his superior into 'hanging' himself in public.

As it is, I think it is obvious you are both crooks and petty hustlers. Next we will hear about your "mansions" and "multi-billion naira" business when you two unintelligent bozos have now only succeeded in showing us that you are both criminals. Grade A mumu twins.

atlwireles: Men, you too much, U don kill that noise maker today.

What a doofus. You don't see how silly and crooked you appear praising someone who has just confessed he is a lover of criminality, deception and fraud? Pathetic how criminality and anarchy is common to you GEJ fans. Silly yahooze crew.

No wonder you all support crooks and see nothing wrong in clearing up their excrement. Mumu. You crooks should not be here disturbing others. You should be 'guests' of the EFCC. They should arrest and detain you both till you confess the "yahoo yahoo" scams you have been engaged in.

Billyonaire: Hahahahahaaha, Calling me Yahooze Boy gives me Joy, Yes, it gives me Joy cos even when I walk into malls in New York and Chicago down town, I do not behave like others who say they are from "Africa", I tell the white men that I am from NIGERIA and when they look at me with awe, I add "The country that those 419 emails come from". Yes, it gives me JOY to know that young Nigeria boys can write grammar good enough to brainwash a so-called intelligent white man and take their dollars to build great houses, buy exotic cars and help their poor parents, YES, you can call me Yahooze Man, not even Boy, cos I am no more a BOY. Please call me YAHOO MAN. It gives me JOY.

But let's not derail this trade, like my good compatriot Sincere9gerian stated. There is ONLY one PDP, any other group of Opposition sponsored gang that claims to be PDP MUST as a matter of National Security Be Arrested and put in jail for attempted coup.

That is it my little red-eyed Gbawe, you are no match to Billyonaire, by the way, I am hiring, should you need a gateman's job in a factory.

What a lunatic !!! Are you high on glue fumes, turpentine, Cow dung or Bat droppings? I only ask because I know you can't afford even a wrap of ganja. Loser.

Anyway, I am glad your inane rant includes a confession concerning your admiration and love of criminal endeavours. It is now clear you are another money-worshipping hustler who will do anything to 'get paid' and endorse any criminal act however heinous and wicked such is to others. Wretched creature.

Billyonaire: Heaayyyyaaaah! My stroking touched nerves. Is there money to be made in Yahooze business ? If Yes, then teach me and I shall be in, I definitely respect yahoo boys more than you little red-eyed Gbawe, cos unlike you, those boys bring in foreign exchange and beautify the country with exotic houses and cars, unlike you, you are a liability to your family and country.

You contribute NOTHING to the country, and you keep bringing us down with your myopic thought process and dwarfed mentality coupled with eternal pessimism. You jump from thread to thread preaching hate and enmity, but remember, when you pick up a peace of hot charcoal with intention of throwing at someone else, guess who got burnt first. You, my little red eyed nematode.

Steer clear the affairs of PDP and face the Angry Parochial-Children Congress (APC); PDP is being purged, and at the end of the day, a fractioned PDP is no match for an Assembly of Prodigal Crooks (APC).

Yahooze boy, go and face your scam email. You need to apply for a patent to enable you market your toxic breath as a poisonous gas. I am sure some of the worlds dictators would be interested in patronising you. Hell, GEJ may even be your first customer and you may then be on the way to the billions of kobo you have been dreaming of since wearing stitched sacks of garri to school as uniform. Silly loser.

TechyGuy: All of you APC paid propagandists are suddenly behind Atiku, like seriously!
Are these same people not the politicians that have held this nation hostage for decades?
They have suddenly become your heroes because they are against GEJ.
Like I keep saying, it has never been an issue of performance or corruption, but that a Southerner is ruling the most populous black nation.
I don't like pdp, but will choose them over the APC hypocrites anyway!

What have I written that makes you think I am behind Atiku? As far as I am concerned, GEJ is no victim. We have all seen him trying to bully others with aplomb. We saw him install dictatorially (Anenih BOT) plus sack undemocratically (Amaechi NGF) at will. What is worse than that in terms of powerplay and what makes him better than anyone else?

However his fellow 'thieves' choose to deal with his 'dishonour' and initial dictatorial 'gra gra' is their own business. If a patently fair person, then you would know it is inevitable that those who live by the sword have a high likely-hood of dying by it. Stop ranting emotionally about anyone supporting Atiku and grow up.

Think like a principled, upright man and note what matters. All that GEJ has been doing did not happen in 1806. They happened recently and we all witnessed GEJ at his undemocratic, undermining, bullying and dictatorial best. It says a lot of your clannish mindset that you now want to be revisionist in presenting GEJ as the 'maligned'.

Stand-up guys understand that fair is fair and right is right always in life. You don't start damning others as mean because they deal with a thief who has caused untold misery for others and is pretending, on the day justice is served to him, to be a victim. Have you ever spoken up for Ameachi here after what GEJ has put him through?

How about Oyinlola and others sacked unceremoniously so that Anenih could be BOT chairman? Did you protest their treatment or did you applaud it? The main character flaw common to you fans of GEJ is that you are unfair and highly unprincipled people and you don't understand that you have no right to think you and yours can get away with wrongdoing towards others while never expecting any repercussion for such behaviour.

TechyGuy: Your noise making myopic rants continues. If it was Fashola it would have been the best move!
Progressive indeed.
What is your business with what GEJ does to his party faction?
Is Atiku now a progressive too?
Hypocrites and enemies of Nigeria!
Why have they not joined APC?

Guy you are here with your wahala again? How market?

ilugunboy: that boy na my boy....the way Soludo is boy-boy to Atiku...

Well, you better take away his phone and send him to bed with no food because I think he needs to sleep off the excess ogogoro he has consumed today.

Billyonaire: Do not insult GEJ fans, last I checked, we are fans of the President who was voted into Office by majority of the Nigerian Voters and Patrotic Citizens. Majority CAN NOT be wrong.

It is obvious that you voted for Buhari - a worldly known Boko Haram Sympathizer, let me tell you, you and Buhari are ETERNALLY DESTINED FAILURES irrespective of which party you jump into.

As for GEJ, he is the most educated President Nigeria ever had, we are uncomfortable with his UNCOMMON HUMILITY AND SANITY cos you and your fellow goons are insanely biased and intimidated by his Transformational Popularity, hence you are afraid to face him in the Primaries and Elections, The mallams and their slavy allies (they know themselves) are afraid, cos they know he will win them hands down, and IT SHALL BE SO IN JESUS AND ALLAH'S NAME.

Back to you little punk with red eyes, the moment you insult any GEJ fan again on this forum, I will match you matchet to matchet, abuse to abuse, word for word. We will NEVER, I repeat NEVER be intimidated by the minority who lost in the generally acclaimed FREE AND FAIR Election that put GEJ above all else.

Billyonaire - A sincere Nigerian.

Yahooze boy, abeg scurry back into your cave little man. This your comical rant reeks of fear. You'll be out of your misery in the end so I would advise you to face your pathetic scam emails and stop the sort of futile 'squaring up' your doomed messiah is currently engaged in.

ilugunboy: All these GEJ-e Agberos are clowns....

If you tell them that PDP will be factionalized a month ago....they would have crucify whoever utter such "blasphemy" then...but here we are with a faction that is seizing the initiatives from the Presidency and the old brigade PDP..while all they can do is to react.

You all have more surprises for yourself as events unfold...

PheeDeePheee.....Dead!!!!!

Precisely. Did we not hear them brag that GEJ was "firmly" in charge of the PDP because Anenih became chairman BOT and Jang was rigged in as NGF chairman? Could you have told this naive lot the mother of all disgrace, before the entire world, was on the way and that it would devastatingly show that GEJ was anything but in charge? In fact, has the walkout not shown that GEJ is finished in the PDP? Where does that leave all the naive "GEJ is firmly in charge" noise these losers spammed cyberspace with?

Yet they will never stop empty chest-beating and braggadocio till the next 'uppercut' catches them unaware again and again. Principally, the main problem is that some simply do not want to accept that the PDP is a Northern Party and that they should have had more respect for "aboki" instead of speaking delusionally, in a naive and power-drunk manner, as if the North is now at their mercy when even a child knows the Northerners in the PDP hold a numerical advantage that cannot/should not be discountenanced by any realistic person.

This is why Oyinlola taunted Tukur to show exactly those who are with him and GEJ in their faction that makes them claim "the real PDP". It is obvious the only claim GEJ has to being a part of the "real PDP" is his position as President. The reality is that the real PDP has already moved away from GEJ.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive". That is the adage the honest and fair-minded fans of GEJ should be confronting right now. This empty show of braggadocio they are putting up is not fooling anyone and it is not distracting focus away from the fact that GEJ is finished in the PDP.

[quote author=Pvt_Parts]If you dont have anything to contribute then stop quoting other's posts

mumu[/quote]Suwegbe. Frustration beginning to set in for you team GEJ e-agberos? If you were not a semi-illiterate nuisance you would note I responded to someone who spoke to me directly. His reply, that I responded to, was apt in describing what you GEJ fans are. I.e lawless, unprincipled, undemocratic and politically crude elements.

eGuerrilla: Not at all. The real surprise would have been not reading comments posted by vitriolic GEJItes, who desire nothing more than a total suppression of dissent using Federal resources.

atlwireles: Whoa, my men too soaking of garri has derailed your mind.

Look, talk to your fellow simpletons and keep your insults to your kind. My posts are above your level of intellect so do not mask your inability to comprehend them with childish insults and inane barb.

eGuerrilla: Interesting to note how some commentators have little regard for our judicial system.

Does it surprise you? It is not for nothing I always insist many here, when all is said and done, are vacuously clannish and emptily feudal.

The PDP, as we know it, is more or less finished now. No need to point the obvious to fans of GEJ who are kids lacking the intelligence, pragmatism and analytical mind to ever discern what is terribly obvious. They forget it was their incendiary chest-beating noise and empty braggadocio , exactly the sort they make now, that egged on GEJ to be dictatorial in imposing Anenih on the PDP and rigging Jang in as NGF chairman. It was the "you can do anything Mr.President" and "carry go nothing do you" noise that propelled team GEJ to think they were untouchable and able to do as they please. They bullied and harried everyone everywhere and recorded hollow pseudo-victories many of us predicted meant absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Yet, did simpletons and messiah worshippers, as they do now, not construe all those initial 'gra gra' meant GEJ was "firmly" in control of the PDP? Lo and behold, without any warning whatsoever, GEJ walked into the mother of all ambush that has now seriously damaged his leadership image worldwide and indicated, to critically thinking folk throughout the universe, that this is a President marking time.

Yet you guys are still mouthing off? Go on guys. I am cheering you all to shout and beat your chest as loudly as you can. It is what you do till you are brought back down to earth. Your messiah's office cannot give him power to cower those who are in the majority by far and determined to ensure he will not run under the PDP banner. You lot never learn and it is tragic, for GEJ, that Mr.President attracts people who excel at chest-beating but suck at critical/analytical thinking. Precisely the sort who always end up on the losing side.

Mylove55: Who control and inflence d institution like police,efcc,inec,cbn,judiciary etc to be corrupt.who pay out subsidy without supply,who award contract to fraudsters and millitant.who make bad policies dat increase uneployment and poverty in nigeria,is it fashola,osho or rochas,isn't not jona and d pdp?

Please do not take these guys seriously. They are merely showing the world Nigeria host many hardened fraudsters comfortable with speaking deceitfully. Recently, the British parliament failed to back David Cameron's effort to align the UK with America's planned attack on Syria. This, by everyone in the UK, was deemed a humiliating embarrassment for Cameron and a dent on his perceived influence and leadership. Naturally and as expected, Cameron and his supporters are contrite.

On to Africa and to Nigeria. Several PDP members humiliated the President by walking out on him at a Party convention. They then quickly announced the formation of a rival faction they insist is the legally empowered Party platform the President derives his mandate from. To the entire world, this was a humiliating 'palace coup'.

On so many level, this is an absolute slap in the face of the President and a killer blow that now renders him a 'dead man walking'. Go to cyberspace to see how Nigerian fans of GEJ are interpreting events. It leaves one in no doubt that many Nigerians are fraud and deception personified. Despite the total humiliation that effectively signified to the world that GEJ is a lame duck President who is not in charge and , without a clue, walked into a devastating ambush we still witnessed Nigerians saying nauseatingly that GEJ somehow comes out of this looking good!! When your countrymen are that dubious and fraudulent, are you surprised they are now trying to tell us this negative indictment against the FG is nothing to do with GEJ? Would it not be better if some said nothing instead of showing this level of dishonesty?

[quote author=Pvt_Parts]and Tinibu who hand picks all candidates for positions in his party is a true democrat.

or Buhari who keeps recycling himself within his own party is a true democrat.

leave PDP matter at least there is a tussle going on in it how bout ACN/APC do you get any form of questioning on Tinibu's pronouncement?[/quote]Can you write even one post without mentioning Tinubu and Buhari?

chukwudi44: So you didn't see that comming? You guys are just too politically naïve!! The only way to remove an african leader is through a coup or through a very populat(not sectional) revolution.If you APC peeps really believe GEJ would not use his presidential powers to his advantage you are in for a shocker.

This is probably the begining,Any fool should dare raise any thing that looks like impeachment(I didn't even say impeachment) you will see where that person will find himself.

You better pipe down. What do you think my mocking "surprise, surprise" means? This is exactly what I expected from your crude messiah!!! Abuse of power and a desperately crude and confused show of bullying are the only options he is left with since he cannot gain legitimate control of the PDP because he does not have the freewill backing of the Party !!!

Majority of stakeholders themselves, including many founding fathers, want him out and you are the only one too naive to see how this will end. Keep bouncing around the forum excitably. Soldier come, soldier go. We shall see.

Here we go !!! It is no longer an "intra Party affair" as some fans of GEJ have been shouting here. Partsian usage of the NPF. Surprise, surprise.

Anyway, we dey laff. Anyone who does not see where this is going is either extremely foolish, ludicrously naive or under the age of six. Bullying gra gra will achieve absolutely nothing at all. In fact, it only worsen things for team GEJ. Folks should note this moment.

Here we go !!! It is no longer an "intra Party affair" as some fans of GEJ have been shouting here. We dey laff.

Nigeria Police Invade Headquarters Of New PDP In Abuja
Posted: September 7, 2013 - 14:14

By SaharaReporters, New York
A detachment of armed policemen has been drafted to the secretariat of the new faction of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja to seal off the secretariat.

The office building located at Plot 320, off Onyi River Crescent Maitama was opened by the Kawu Baraje led of the PDP that broke away last week from the special convention of the party.

An Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) and police Hilux vehicles were stationed around the building to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the building.

The leadership of the breakaway faction of the party last week told the media that the new office of the would be opened but refused to give details on the date and the location of the office for security reasons.

But this afternoon the secretariat with the inscription New Peoples Democratic Party was covered ready for launch when policemen invaded the area. All the access roads leading to the building was cordoned off by the security operatives uniform and mufti.

nuclearboy: Tam David-West is also from the Niger-Delta! So you have on one side, mature, articulate performers like Amaechi and David-West and on the other side, the windbags like Dokubo and Edwin Clark!

Its sad because GEJ has shown over and over what side of the divide he is on!

Well-said. It is not that the ND does not have reasonable voices. The main problem is that it is GEJ who has personally supervised the bullying and disenfranchisement of these folks to create the ND in a new "Might is right" image similar to what OBJ wanted to achieve in the SW when Adebibu, Tokyo and Auxillary et al cowered the voices of Professors and world-class technocrats.

When GEJ is not busy bullying Amaechi then his fans and supporters are occupied calling David-West a senile old man and such ungracious names. As Rev.Ugolor states below, GEJ only has time for those who carry guns.

I do not agree at all with Abagworo that this has anything to do with the media. There is no way, If GEJ wants the opposite to be the case, that it is thugs and criminals who will be the voices of the ND. No need for us to avoid the obvious to be patronising the intellect of each other. We know, especially under a President from the ND, that criminals cannot hijack the image of the region if they have not been empowered to do so and if the Presidency does not wish it so.

Abati, Okupe , Maku are always silent when Clark, Kuku, Dokubo Asari, et al heat up the polity via making horridly incendiary treats against Nigeria yet the media outlet of the Presidency is lightning quick to insult Buhari, Tinubu and Nigerians over trivialities. I want good Niger Deltans to understand that are in a fight for their future and it would do them well to know who their real enemies are.

2015 Presidency: It’ll be disastrous if Jonathan uses state machinery to manipulate another term – Ugolor

on May 03, 2013 / in Interview 5:42 pm / Comments


BY SIMON EBEGBULEM,

BENIN CITY
Rev.David Ugolor is a Niger Delta activist and the Executive Director of the African Net work For Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ). In this interview with Saturday Vanguard, Ugolor who was arrested and detained over the murder of the Principal Private Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Comrade Olaitan Oyerinde, condemned what he described as the attempt to use “Abuja magic” to destroy Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, saying that the move was an attempt to ridicule the Niger Delta struggle.

He declared that the amnesty program of the Federal Government was a charade, just as he urged the Federal Government to also grant pardon to former Governor of Delta state, Chief James Ibori in order not to give ethnic coloration to the pardon policy of the Federal Government. Ugolor vows that he will continue to fight for justice with a view to finding the true killers of his bosom friend, Comrade Oyerinde.He spoke about other national issues and the recent Local Government Council election in Edo state.
Excerpts:

As a Niger Delta activist, how would you reconcile the current war between Governor Rotimi Amaechi and President Jonathan?

This is another Abuja magic in display, we are in trouble. Just last week, Femi Falana released a statement where he said there is a gradual move towards dictatorship in Nigeria and an attempt to muzzle opposition groups and free speech. You know Falana cannot just make a statement out of the blues.


I raised alarm that this government is not willing to listen to alternative voices.Every attempt to demand justice has been frustrated and the level of impunity today in Nigeria is alarming.It cuts across government sectors and institutions. If you look at the just released human rights report of 2012, it is the same message and the response of this government has been very bad.Yesterday it was me, today it is Amaechi, tomorrow it could be Adams.

The Niger state governor also complained recently, so you can see that there is a gradual trend towards muzzling people with alternative views and even a threat to justice and once there is threat to justice, you cannot talk of the rule of law, you cannot talk of democracy. The Nigerian Governors Forum is a platform for the governors to articulate their positions. They are not arm carriers, the NGF is made up of both governors from the opposition and ruling party and they elected Rotimi Amaechi as their chairman, and all the issues he has been raising are not his personal views.

They are consensus issues. Should he now pay a price for that? But you can see that this Abuja magic have brought politics into the NGF and this we condemn out rightly and as if that is not enough, this Abuja Magic which is interpreted as those old politicians who have expired in their states, as soon as they form partnership with the presidency, they try to undermine everything that happens in the states, they portend danger. The on-going politicization of the NGF activities is condemnable, it is unacceptable and as civil society, we cannot keep quiet.

They brought the judiciary into who becomes the chairman of PDP in Rivers state, they went to Abuja to get a court ruling, something that could be done in Port Harcourt. It is an attempt to muzzle Governor Amaechi and I think Nigerians should rise up against it. If the President wants to contest in 2015, the first thing he should do is to engage all stakeholders from the region, particularly the NGF. I don’t think anybody who wants to be the president of Nigeria should be fighting Amaechi who is the Chairman of the NGF because his position is that of the NGF. They are playing dirty politics. Look at the delay or seizure of the Rivers State aircraft. The differences between the President and Amaechi is dirty politics in an attempt to undermine some persons as we move towards 2015. It is 2015 politics that is at play.

Even at that, does Amaechi not deserve and have the right to aspire to be president of this country? Does any other person from the South-South not have the right to become the president? Now, if you do proper assessment of South-South presidency, what practical benefit has the region benefited from this government?Amaechi raised concern about the East West Road. Who will say that the road is not an issue in the Niger Delta? He said if the federal government cannot handle it, let the South-South governors handle it, is there anything wrong about that?

The politics surrounding NGF has to do with 2015 election and we are saying that everybody, every tribe in the region, the Urobhos, Itsekiris, all have the same right to aspire to become president of this country. But as a matter of fact, I am not too concerned about who becomes president because from the example in Edo state, the issue of tribe does not really matter.

To a large extent, if Oshiomhole was to contest on the basis of ethnicity, he may not even become a councillor in the state. But the people of Edo believed that ethnic background is not the issue but who is able to deliver.Let me tell you, if an opinion poll is carried out in the region today, people are not happy with the current presidency of Goodluck Jonathan. The so called South-South presidency is a ruse, no benefit has come to the region and I think we have a responsibility to begin to articulate views that will help to advance the course of our people.

The fact that less than one per cent of those who believe in arms are currently in comfort zone with the present government does not take away our own right to ventilate our concerns and as an Urhobo person, I have a right to articulate issues that will advance my tribe in the region. The fact that we don’t carry arms in the region, does not mean we are stupid because we have our own vision.
Presidential pardon

Pardon is now being given to some tribes and some tribes are not given, what is the difference between James Ibori and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha? As a matter of fact, Alamieyeseigha also have an international dimension to his corruption. That is why I want appeal to the international community that they should not play into the hands of this government because this government’s so called anti-corruption crusade is wrapped up in tribal sentiments.

So, when this government said they were cooperating with the British government to bring Ibori to justice, it was a ruse. The British government is wiser. Few months ago, Tinubu was being paraded before the Code of Conduct Tribunal because of his strong views. Look, we all have responsibilities to defend this democracy. Left alone, I don’t think Jonathan would have become the president of this country if not for Nigerians who fought doggedly.

We also have the right to disagree with him. Anybody from the Niger Delta who has been driving along the East-West road would not be happy with the pace of work there and I don’t think that can fetch him votes from there. Let him not be deceived, Abuja Magic cannot say who will be president in 2015. It is what you are able to do, and what he is able to deliver to the region that will be the basis for who becomes what.

Violence is not exclusive to any particular tribe, now that the federal government is dealing with only those who carry arms, the fact that Urhobos do not carry arms, the fact that the Ogonis do not carry arms does not mean they are stupid. Look at the billions of naira that has been sunk into amnesty which would have been used to build infrastructure, this is fraud. Less than one per cent of the people in the Niger Delta are the ones benefiting from the amnesty.

This government has not been able to justify the billions it has spent on the people of the area to justify the sacrifices the people have made, the sacrifices made by Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni eight and the sacrifices by other tribes in the region. You cannot appropriate such for just one tribe. I think the presidency is heading for disaster in the region and every tribe has the right to defend its own. Governor Amaechi comes from a tribe and every tribe has the right to aspire to be president of the country.
OBJ’s criticism of Jonathan’s administration

As far as I am concerned, Obasanjo has lost his moral right to criticise this government, he is an hypocrite, his daughter who was a senator was accused of corruption. Jonathan is the president of this country, what Obasanjo is doing is unacceptable. When Obasanjo was president, nobody would do to him what he is doing to Jonathan today, what moral basis does he have?

If you want to even compare him to Jonathan in terms of listening to alternative views, Jonathan is better. If he had allowed Nigerians to pick their president, we won’t be where we are. It was because he single-handedly brought in Yar’Adua who later died that brought about Jonathan. If he had allowed Nigerians to pick their leader, it would have been different. We are criticising Jonathan to deliver because we want true democracy. Our criticism is that he should not use state machinery to manipulate his coming back in 2015.
Edo council election

It is still the case of Abuja magic, I will comment on the post election; I congratulate the Edo State government for conducting the election because it was done because of the agitation of Edo people that they needed a democratically elected local government administration and the government responded and election have held. At least, there is a general consensus that election was held and issues arose.

Although I didn’t monitor the election, my colleagues did and from my own appraisal, the key lessons we must learn is that there are areas we must improve on, but the idea that the election should be cancelled is unacceptable, we must move forward. People have invested resources, elections have been organised and people have won and some have lost and the constitution is clear that when you lose an election, you can approach the court. The court is there and we will monitor the court process as civil society groups to ensure that the judiciary does its part.

I also condemn the violence that erupted, people should not see election as do or die affair, election should be for service. When you don’t win election, go and do other things. We must commend the Edo state government for seeing reasons; for listening to the agitation of the people that election should be conducted and then there is the logistic challenge.

I think the idea of printing our materials abroad is not acceptable. We must internalise because apart from the capital outflow, we must learn to trust ourselves. I understand the challenge of the material not being hijacked but I think they should improve on it in future so that those things can be printed here.

vedaxcool: So in your religion God teaches u to vandalize public property and steal oil? Be rest assured we would vote jonathan out of power if his party members do not impeach him!

My guy, you are talking to someone incapable of thinking far enough to see what is obvious. Even if the ND, with the collusion of the Presidency, is involved in a 'Robin Hood' mission against Nigeria will it not better that the rest of us infer this ourselves than for the unthinking simpletons from the region to reveal proudly and unapologetically that this is what they are doing ?

Is it not obvious to some that this will only lead to politicians closing ranks against the ND in future? As it is now some people should hope GEJ, on behalf of the ND, better hold on to power forever or Nigeria splits if he does not. Otherwise the loud-mouths and crooks in the ND have ruined things for the region via portraying it as one only interested in using power as a tool of hijacking the nation's income and holding everyone else to ransom despite efforts, more than any other time in history, to ensure the ND is developed.

Doubly tragic that ND sons/daughters themselves are squandering the chance to improve their own region, even with vast resources and political positions they control, with the world only seeing them mercilessly looting the patrimony of their fellow men while deceitfully highlighting a vendetta against others.

It is obvious even the most liberal politician would not want us to be in this position again. The ND must now retain power forever or accept that when it moves away from them political power-brokers will only remember the negatives, lack of stability, rancour, division, disharmony and alienation of others that the reign of GEJ, who they backed vociferously and clannishly, typified.

This is the problem with the approach of GEJ involving relegating intelligence to the background to make the Boyloafs of the world the new power-brokers, 'spokesmen' and Capos of the ND. These people are only capable of incendiary, criminal and senseless utterance that only worsen the position of their own people and region. Imagine anyone blatantly coming out to say oil theft is "resource control". Who, in their right mind, would willingly support people of such clannish mindset to lead Nigeria at the centre ever again?

desgiezd: So it has reached a level where thieves will come boldly and say people should not call them thieves but a different name. Can we now say the contract given to Asari Dokubo & Co to safeguard oil pipelines and prevent oil theft is just a ruse disguised to make some people rich. And we call what we have now a government? Mscheeeew!

Voila !!!!

Sincere 9gerian: These outpouring of emotions and foaming at the mouth is unnecessary. Lets stay with the FACTS:

- whose constitutional responsibility is primary school education? It is that of state and local govts. Tell your masters in APC to improve the conditions of primary schools in their states. That will help improve our ranking next time.

- whose constitutional responsibility is it to build strong institutions, reduce corruption, improve infrastructures,etc? It is that of ALL tiers of govt. All tiers of govt have institutions under their care. All tiers of govt have certain category of infrastructures under their care. All tiers of govt should ensure that public servants under their watch are not corrupt.

So frustrated @Gbawe, stay with the facts.

Meanwhile, you didnt have to tell wicked lies. I know you ALWAYS read my posts. In fact, your day is incomplete without a good dose of my posts.

Shut up and get lost. I have no interest in reading what you write because you are a shameless liar and a very poor excuse of a Nigerian. Talk to those who are interested in your childish hogwash.
