Amaechi flees rivers state out of fear of wike's probe https://www.nairaland.com/2344989/rotimi-amaechi-flees-rivers-state

PDPwayoo:
No wonder. I think is time to leave NL. Example of kids we interact with everyday on NL. Tell me what a boy of 15 know about politics?

Free the young man you bully! So a fifteen year old cannot have an opinion? And for your information this young man has better opinion that an old goat like you.

IzonOwei:
I will strictly advice any governor to employ berger for road constructions and neglect our indigenous companies(except the serious ones) from carrying out road construction projects....Julius berger equals seriousness...that is why akwa ibom is how it is today...take a look at how slow the east west road construction is carried out...one reason again I am angry with goodluck...tell setraco to get the hell out and allow berger in to fast track the construction of the most important road connecting the south,east and west...wike good work...dont let any relative come with his or her company telling you they want road contracts...stick to julius berger and move rivers state forward...

The truth is julius berger cannot do all roads and besides they are very expensive though worth it, In Akwa Ibom JB only did major roads ie the dualized roads, flyovers and major bridges. but small projects were handled by small but competent companies like Setraco, Stemco, Raycon, Nigerpet etc. Even some of the dualized roads were done by Gitto, CCECC etc too.

Mr wike good start but don't just use JB alone but use quality construction firms with pedigree and not political contractors that are set up by politicians to dube the state.
Whats more important to the success of operation zero potholes in Akwa Ibom was that the state Govt also had their own monitoring team that was headed by engineering technocrats who made sure that all the contractors stick to specification of the contract. the monitoring team besides being manned by experts also had their own Lab where construction quality were tested and all the companies knew that as soon as they got one road or project done based on specification of the state govt. they will get another construction contract failure mean no more job in the state that's why they all worked hard and delivered on time.

Gov. Amaechi has relocated to Abuja out of fear that the new Governor of Rivers state,Nyesom Wike who was Sworn in today will probe the corruption in Rivers state under Amaechi watch for the last 8 years.
Mr Amaechi is living in fear because he is aware of all the looting that went on while he was governor and is said to be lobbying in Abuja to squash all cases of Criminal probe by the news gov.of rivers state into the affairs of the state while he was gov.

Wike has promised Rivers people that Amaechi Administration will be probed and all Stolen properties of the state recovered.

Akpabio is working, others governors are busy embezzling. this man has commissioned in just two weeks more projects than many state governments commission in 8 yrs. Kudos to The Action Governor.

I hope this does not collapse like other kano bridge the one that killed 7 people recently.

Dollyak:
Genuinely, I am not jealous. I prefer if people of Akwa ibom are living in luxury than when one politician is. You will see from my past comments that I am simply fighting for my fellow citizens. This includes; the unpaid workers, unemployed youth and so on.
I will rather we unite and fight corrupt leaders than defend poltician. Think of it this way, I prefer if you are a millionaire than a corrupt politician.

You mean the unpaid civil servants in Osun who have already proceeded on an indefinite strike?

Dollyak:
That's not the point. The question is how has the big budget benefit the akwa ibom people more than those in Osun.
Higher salary for similar jobs?
Lower unemployment?
etc.

Nonsense jealous hack. If you want high allocation develop your resources last i checked Osun state has the highest deposit of Gold in Nigeria, Who is mining it? or are you waiting on FG for everything or getting jealous of other state/ region resources.

Dollyak:
No, but are all the road tiled?
Are all the worker's salaries paid?
Is everywhere nice?
Osun state has 4.2million people with 197 billion naira yearly budget, while Akwa ibom has 4.8mill people with a budget of 496 billion naira.
Now the workers haven't been paid just like in osun while akwa ibom has one of the highest unemployment in the country(More than Osun).
Tell me, how can you make sense of this with the biggest budget and one of the best per capita.
If you think this is acceptable then it's fine, but I think it's time we should start fighting for our rights.
If he was doing all these things with Osun's budget then I will call him the best governor in the world

What resources/Revenue does osun state contribute to Nigeria federal purse?

Dollyak:
Sure, but the fact they have this bugdet shows the money is coming from somewhere? This are budget planned with their revenue in mind and not some fantasy dream often synonymous with couples before reality strikes.
Imo state for instance cannot plan using Akwa ibom's gigantic budget so the wedding analogy doesn't make a lot of sense here.
For their budget to be that high, it means the money is coming from somewhere. Hence they are the richest.

How old are you? pardon my asking you seem to want to engage in a redundant argument in the light of evidence to the contrary.
Its not difficult to now the difference between Budget and Revenue even your dictionary can help you its not rocket science you know.

Again If say Ekiti which is said to be the state that receives the lowest allocation form FG decides to make a budget of N500b when its actual revenue is 40bn of what consequence is the unrealistic N500bn budget?
Note it is not illegal to make any plans any state can budget $100bn if they like but it wont change their actual revenue.

ricsman:
u see. u aren't from either Rivers or akwa ibom state. am from Rivers and I school at uniuyo so I know what am saying

l tell people that Uyo has tuned to London in terms of road even when u hardly see traffic gam.

Ameachi is good so always Akpabio. after first tenure Ameachi lost fg touch but akpabio still had.
guy u can't fight fg n survive but Ameachi did

So who is to blame for Amaechis loss of focus? Amaechi is a human being and he has what is called choice, he choosed to fight jonathan instead of concentrating on improving rivers state, he let his ego get the better of him he has himself to blame for the problems he caused. leadership is about being able to manage your failures and disappointment anyone can manage success but its a great leader that can wade through his problems and not pull everything down because his ego is hurt.
Do you think Akpabio and other gov.who stayed the course with GEJ did not have disagreements with GEJ? They stayed the course because did not allow their personal interest to override party/national interest. that's the greatest failure of Amaechi. He is too imature and emotional for my liking. lets watch how he will survive in APC when the real politics starts and he doesn't get what he want in APC?

Dollyak:
It is very easy to know the richest based on their budget. They both have similar budget, so that should tell you everything you need to know. With the population of Akwa Ibom, he shouldn't even be owning workers their salaries begin with.
Akwa ibom is the richest by far

Budget is a plan of action based on projected revenue! Its revenue that determines the wealth of the state not budget.

To break it down, budget is like a plan a woman has to have her wedding gown flowing 100m with 10 bridesmaid holding the helm of her gown every 10m but it is her income/ revenue that will actually determine how long the gown will flow.

Budgets are just projections not actual revenue.

Dollyak:
What he is trying to say is that the governor should be doing more, espcecially when with his biggest biggest fund allocation in Nigeria. Lagos with the 4 times the population and less budget is doing just as good or even better.

Lagos is the richest state in Nigeria, stop lying
state funds is not just FG allocation its FG Allocation + IGR
Lagos IGR is greater than The FG allocation to Akwa Ibom.

ricsman:
well said but u didn't tall us what akpabio did dat Ameachi has not done.

if I done something and people admires it and u decided to do urs, willnt u try to do more than I've done?

read d fact I raised n stop being bias.

If you are from Rivers state i will Advice you to take a trip to Akwa Ibom and then go back to port harcourt and see things for your self and you will have the answer to your question.
I personally have no qualms with either state progressing remember It is only one bridge that separates Akwa Ibom from Rivers state so what is good for Rivers is Good for Akwa Ibom and vice versa. But the truth is that Amaechi has dropped the ball big time . I hope wike will take rivers state to an enviable height.

ricsman:
I hate when people talk with hatred in their mind. those of u abusing Rivers governor of not doing anything should think well ooooo.


if not that d fg lost it with CRA Rivers state would have been more than what u see today.


u don't expect a man fighting to remain n complete his tenure as governor to keep doing his good works.


what did akpabio do that is not in Rivers state? somebody answer me


Rivers state hospital

Rivers State Dental and Maxillofacial Hospital
( RSDMH) situated in Garrison, Port Harcourt , is
a Nigerian specialist hospital opened in 2013 to
provide dental , oral and maxillofacial services to
the general public. The hospital is owned by the
Rivers State government and is considered the
first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa.[1][2]
The hospital is one of the major health facilities
in the state that is managed by the International
Trauma and Care Centre (ITCC). Its well-built
and sturdy building is four-stories high, and
boasts the latest state-of-the-art design,
equipments and technology.

You are comparing apple to oranges, the mere fact that you are comparing Rivers state to Akwa Ibom means that Akpabio wins because there should be no bases for comparism but Akpabio has given you the reason to do the comparims based on his performance.

Rivers state is the oil capital of Africa not west Africa not Nigeria . Rivers state is the second richest state in terms of FG allocation + Internally generated revenue. second only to lagos state

Rivers state has been a major African port city before Nigeria was Amalgamated in 1914
Rivers State houses the biggest LNG in Africa
Rivers state is the capital of the SS and the Third most important city in Nigeria after Abuja and lagos.
And the list goes on and on for Rivers state

But Amaechi failed to build on the legacy of the great state and instead chose to fight his brother and betray him out of power instead of using rivers money to develop rivers as akpabio is doing he chose to use their funds to fight GEJ.
Akwa Ibom Should not even be mentioned when rivers state is concerned but fortunately Akwa Ibom is catching up because of the visionary leadership Gov. Akpabio. Akwa Ibom the once backwater of the SS has become a desirable bride all due to the power of visionary leadership.

The Issue is not about the states, its about the quality of leadership provided by Amaechi and Akpabio in the last 8yrs in their respective states. On this regards I will give Akpabio 95% and Amaechi 45% and the 45% is for his effort in his first term.
Now here is a food for thought for you? Try to imagine that Akpabio was the governor of rivers state in the last 8 yrs! where do you think Rivers state would be today with Akpabio's visionary leadership?

I was a critic of this project because it took too long to complete in my estimation. but seeing the quality delivered i congratulate the gov. for a job well done.

Thank God and gov. Akpabio for using the state funds to bring this ultra morden hospital to Akwa Ibom. In the past these kind of hospital was only seen by Akwa Ibom people that travelled abroad, but now a comman man in the state has hope for better health since he can now stroll in here for help if he gets sick.

God bless Akwa Ibom
God bless Nigeria
God bless Akpabio

State of the arts imaging devices at Ibom specialist hospital.

Akpabio is the man

Now this is a hospital

This is worth celebrating, am happy the hospital is finally complete.

Ameachi is afraid of probe, he know he is as guilt as sin, on stealing the resources of rivers state. Wike must probe amaechi.

Turkey-based multinational brand, Beko, has said it is building its first multimillion-dollar household appliances manufacturing plant in Nigeria in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State.

More and more foreign investors are attracted to Nigeria as a preferred investment destination in West Africa even as local business owners complain that it is difficult for businesses to thrive in the country.

In addition to Pepkor, a South African clothing chain, Beko which recently opened its second showroom in Lagos, is another multinational brand that is making plans to establish more outlets in Nigeria. The company recently announced plans to open seven more showrooms in the country before the end of 2015.

According to the Corporate Business Development and Marketing Manager, Beko Nigeria, Mr. Inyang Umoh Ekere, though the company has been in Africa for years, the owners consider Nigeria to be the gateway to the subregion and an important player in their expansion bid.

He said, “Our presence here is to proceed from here to the entire subregion. We intend to rule the market. We have been in Nigeria for many years and what we are currently doing is rebranding and reintroducing our products into the market.

“Our target market is upwardly mobile young Nigerians. That is why our catchphrase is, ‘powered by smart generation.’ Most Nigerians are tending towards the direction of good and smart products that can perform multiple functions in one application.

A statement from the company described Beko as a domestic appliance and consumer electronics brand of Arcelik A.S controlled by Koc.

According to the statement, the company has won several international awards mostly as energy-efficient home appliance manufacturer. “It is the second largest market for household appliance in the United Kingdom, controlling 14 per cent of the cooler and seven per cent of the washing market in England,” the statement read.

Na Akwa Ibom own dey surprise me.

How can a state with the highest earnings still borrow.

And to worsen matters, if the salary, pension, promotion and other arrears are added, one will know that these thieving governors had done more harm than good.

To be fair Akwa Ibom has a very low external debt which makes the total debt less when both external and internal debt are considered.

Lord have mercy! O - boy see debts! this governors dey kill Nigeria moderators front page please
