Anambra & Igbos know about killings that happened in Kajuru 2 weeks ago & started trending it yesterday. They dont know about the one going on now between Omor & Umumbo people in Anambra State. They dragged @hadizel who isn't governor but don't know Obianos handle. Before taking the speck off another person's eye, take the log of your own. If you care for Kaduna but stay silent for Anambra, you are a hypocrite.

KingAzubuike:
Truly said tho, black americàns are very dangerous set of people. 70% is/was a gangster. But still most actions taken by the cops doesn't warrant it.

So that justifies kneeling on an handcuffed man?

How come white shooters are captured alive.

SECTION 1
The name Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi greatly rings a bell in the minds of Nigerians especially Rivers People whom he served as their Governor (2007-2015) due to his infrastructural development and his redefining of governance.
Amaechi is a field marshall of development whose legacy and giant strides remain unparalled. He redefined governance with the ‘Change you can see’ and the ‘Rivers of possibilities’ that the State became under him.

As a development expert and a seasoned administrator, he declared a state of emergency on almost every sector of the state which was aimed at improving the living standard and economy of the state; ranging from Education, Health, Agriculture, Sports, Tourism, Power, Security, Job Creation/Employment, Human Capital as well as Economic Development amongst others.

He transformed the State tremenduously and became the face of development to the admiration of his colleagues and others. This feat earned him a lot of awards and laurels from both national and international organizations.

His legacies as Governor will remain indelible which will go down in the annals of the history of the state.

Let me briefly summarize his achievements under these sectors below;

1. EDUCATION
On assumption of office the Amaechi-led government declared a state of emergency on education, completely took over the payment of salaries of primary school and junior secondary school teachers, which was the function of local governments, in ensuring that education takes centre stage in the state as at then.

In other to further strengthen and ensure quality education in the state, Amaechi signed into law five bills brought for his assent by the State House of Assembly, which included; The Rivers State Universal Basic Education Amendment Bill 2012 and The Rivers State Senior Secondary Schools’ Board Bill 2012 amongst others. Under his administration, the government built several model primary schools which was almost seen in every community in the State– each with 20 classrooms equipped with ICT facility, modern library, science laboratory, football field, basketball pitch, volleyball pitch and nursery playground.

These model primary schools were built to the standard of the United Nations as obtainable in developed parts of the world. Not left out was the construction of 20 new classroom blocks’ model primary school with state of art facilities to commemorate the status of Port Harcourt as World Book Capital, a feat achieved under him due to his tangible revolution in the education sector.

His administration was the first to have a quality assurance agency in Nigeria which is very important to evaluate performance in our educational deliverables.

These and more feats too numerous to mention were done to reposition the State’s education sector under him.

2. HEALTH
The health sector witnessed rapid development both in infrastructure and human capital development under his administration.

Building of primary and secondary health facilities took centre stage with Model Primary Health Centre in almost all communities in Rivers State with 60 Health centres commissioned in 60 Days in 60 Communities, ‘‘the 60:60:60 initiative’’ and also the establishment of secondary health facilities in all the LGAs in the State.

There was also the facelift and reconstruction of existing health facilities. In ensuring that these facilities function optimally, medical doctors and other health professionals were employed to work in them.

3. AGRICULTURE
There was a revolution in the agricultural sector as was visibly seen in the state. There was massive establishment of agricultural facilities which was aimed at ensuring food security in the state ranging from revitalizing Risonpalm, now SIAT, establishment of Songhai Farm, Buguma Fish Farm, Banana Plantation etc. Loans and other agricultural incentives(improved varieties of seedlings, fertilizers etc) were given to farmers to help improve in their productivity.

4. POWER
Power was given the attention it deserves because of the economic role it plays in the development. His administration built three power stations situated at Omoku (150 Mega-Watts), Trans-Amadi (130 MegaWatts) and Eleme (75 Mega-Watts). Seven Transmissions stations (132/33kilo volts) and 7 Distribution injection sub-stations 33/11 Kilo Volts were also built amongst other achievements in the power sector.

5. HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT
Human Capital Development is the best development any nation can have and export to maintain development equilibrium, and Amaechi being a human development expert and a pathfinder in education embarked on foreign scholarship for the less privileged as well as deserving Rivers indigenes. Scholarship were also awarded to Rivers indigenes who were in Nigerian Universities to aid them in their academic pursuit.

Vocational Centres were established for the training of Rivers people in different kinds of skills with starter packs given to them which made a lot of them self-employed and financially independent.

6. TOURISM
Tourism was another key area that was greatly developed. The Amaechi-led administration introduced the ‘CANIRIV’. The Government recognized Carniriv as its biggest tourism export. With economic interests increasingly identifying tourism as a viable alternative to the fossil fuel economy- especially in these parts. The state government exhibited its commitment to developing this carnival into a regionally unrivalled and globally reckoned tourist attraction.

Thus, it has always made available the necessary monetary backing needed for the event to hold every year, and has also worked hard through the Rivers State Tourism Development Agency and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to see that it is held.

In true carnival style, contingents of the 23 LGAs engage a procession (on a pre-defined route) through the streets of Port Harcourt showcasing enthralling dances and masquerade displays as they do so. All of these performances were embedded in colourful floats gigged with impressive icons.

7. SECURITY
Under his administration, security was given adequate attention because he believed that security was the foundation upon which progress in every other facet of development depends.

There was deployment of technology in crime fighting, which is to say that the states’ security network was driven by excellent modern technology. Another step was to raise capacity among selected security personnel, over through local and overseas training in Israel and other parts of the world on modern crime fighting techniques and intelligence gathering.

Oshigun:
Will never ever happen because of one vital factor. Virtually all Igbos, to include even those selling Fan Yogo on Third mainland bridge, lack humility and respect for others.

If Igbos cannot relegate and subjugate others in a relationship then they are not happy.

Since they will never be able to do this to Yorubas then there can never be a working relationship between Yorubas and Igbos.

Oshigun:
This is an example of the lack of humility and respect for others that make Igbos a thoroughly odious people.

How sensible or realistic to suggest no Yoruba can take on an Igbo in a one on one? This is the sort of inane crap coming out of the mouth of Igbos because they have no respect for others and always get 'owned' by the Yorubas because of this.

This is one of the reasons Igbos hate Yorubas so much. They are fed so much junk indoctrination by their hateful parents it is then a shock to the system when Yorubas are besting them at everything.

For example, they hate Tinubu because he has bested and remains better than all Igbo political leaders rolled into one.

Look at when Anthony Joshua is mentioned. Only Igbos will come out with disparaging comments to deny him credit as a great boxer merely because of his Yoruba background.

One even once said Ibeabuchi would have been the best from Nigeria and a bigger star than Joshua if he did not have mental health challenges when it is just more honest and dignified to agree that the Yoruba man can box !!!! Na real wa Delusional Igbos sha.

They key consideration is not about Yorubas and Igbos uniting to work together. That is not possible. The reality is that Yorubas and Igbos should stay in their respective lanes and achieve their ambitions separately.
