Jonathan Ceded Rivers Oil Well To Bayelsa To Punish Amaechi – APC

Sep 21, 2017

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Governor Nyesom Wike to publicly apologise to the people of the state and his immediate predecessor/benefactor, Rotimi Amaechi, over the ceding of Soku Oil Wells belonging to Rivers to neighbouring Bayelsa State.

According to the political party, the oil wells in Kalabari axis of Rivers were controversially ceded during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, an indigene of Otuoke in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, to punish then governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, who was also the the Director-General of Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation, for declining to support the re-election of his Niger Delta kinsman -Jonathan.

Rivers APC, through its Chairman, Chief Davies Ikanya, yesterday in Port Harcourt, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Chief EzeChukwuemeka Eze, described as shocking, Wike’s acceptance that the disputed Soku oil wells, which it insisted he (Rivers governor) and Jonathan connived to cede to Bayelsa, belonged to Rivers.

Wike, who was Jonathan’s Minister of State for Education, on Tuesday at the Government House, Port Harcourt, while hosting members of the Forum of Surveyors-General of States, urged the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Ebisintei Awudu, to resolve the lingering boundary dispute between Rivers and Bayelsa states, stressing that he was in the best position to address the boundary conflict.

The Rivers governor said, “We believe that the oil wells belong to us (Rivers State people). We are brothers and there is no need for this conflict to linger. Imagine if it was between two states with no relationship, it would have been worse.”

Rivers state was created on May 27, 1967, while Bayelsa state was created out of the old Rivers state on October 1, 1996.

Rivers APC said, “September 19, 2017 will ever remain memorable in the politics of Rivers State. This was the day that one of the hidden truths was brought to the open. By his confession, Wike has vindicated our position that he collaborated with the then President Jonathan to fight Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to a standstill and to dislodge APC that clearly won the 2015 general elections, from the Brick House, Port Harcourt.

“One of the ways in which they achieved the infamous feat was to cede Rivers State oil wells to Jonathan’s Bayelsa State, in a bid to economically emasculate Rivers State and starve Amaechi’s government of funds.”

The main opposition APC also stated that the Rivers governor’s latest stand on the controversial oil well issue was a reflection of a misguided leader, who likes to play politics with every issue, so far it would benefit him, not minding if such a stand was against the progress of Rivers state and its people.

It said, “It is on record that Wike used the oil well issue about three years ago to dehumanise and abuse his benefactor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and called him many uncouth names, for pleading and stating that it was wicked of Dr. Jonathan to cede Rivers State’s oil wells to neighbouring Abia and Bayelsa States, just to prove his hatred for the people of Rivers State, after giving him one of their daughters (Dame Patience Jonathan) for a wife and ensured that he was properly educated at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).

“In view of Amaechi’s stand, Wike, as the then Supervising Minister of Education, threatened the then Rivers governor (Amaechi) with everything within him, including brimstone and arrest immediately after Dr. Jonathan would be declared as president for a second term in 2015, but God proved him wrong.

“Wike, while exhibiting poor understanding of the plight of Rivers people, appreciated Dr. Jonathan for the heinous and evil act by giving him an award during the recent celebration of 50th anniversary of the creation of Rivers State.

“If Wike is serious about demanding the receding of the oil wells to Rivers State, let him start by withdrawing the unmerited award given to Dr. Jonathan, after which he should formally apologise to God, Amaechi and the people of Rivers State for criminally emasculating them economically by the evil act against Rivers State and humanity, for us to take him seriously.”

The main opposition party also reminded the Rivers governor that as minister of state for education, he sent members of his political group, the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI), to harass and disperse the leaders and traditional rulers of kalabari Kingdom, under the aegis of Kalabari National Forum, during their protest march to submit their letter to the Director-General, National Boundary Commission, Abuja.

APC urged the surveyor-general of the federation to assist and restore the Soku oil wells to Rivers state, not minding the fact that Wike was one of the architects and brains behind the ceding of the Rivers oil wells to neighbouring states.

Fake news! The writer is an APC propagandist. Very unintelligent news! And yet you bring this up? It shows some people don't read in between the lines...they just jump to conclusion based on biased political sentiments with no objectivity in their findings....very unfortunate

1shortblackboy:
did you read that the mistake was made by the boundary commission in 2002?

My bro..people don't read..All they know how to do is jump to conclusion based on fake news that wike n gej ceded the oil well to Bayelsa..... Quite unfortunate. Gej could not have done anything cos the matter was in court but political biggots affiliated to APC will not read in between lines...all they know is to spread falsehood....

CaptainMeks:
The interlocutory rulings have already given the direction of the final ruling so allow me to be the first to say So long and goodbye Atiku, and for our French speaking people of Cameroon I say longtemps et au revoir Atiku. You lost to a very competent Tribunal with well versed Judges whom you tried to bamboozle by any and every means necessary.

Then we will keep on remaining in darkness, banditry , kidnapping and bad leadership filled with corrupt personalities.it's a big shame afterall

Why are people not happy with this directive? Sebi lot's of people voted him back to power na..even those who rigged him back to power...so they should all face the reality on ground as we move on.

I pray that there won't be a huge food shortage and food price increase soon. And we currently have serious cash flow shortage...

It is well.

Jaruma pleads to send clothes to Bbnaija housemate, Tacha. The popular slay queen on instagram, is already out of clothes just one month into the show. She keeps on repeating her clothes especially during saturday night parties.



Her god-mother, kayamata wealthy seller,, the owner of Jaruma Empire, who has been a strong force behind Tacha says she is willing to pay 1 million naira to any boutique that can send clothes to her.



She went on to say Tacha is not a rich kid, she doesnt have money like most people think.

Misplaced priority!

GistAlert:
After the entertainment by the other Housemates, Tacha straightened things out between herself and Mike. For almost an hour, both Housemates took turns to explain how each one has misunderstood the other.

Having stayed in the Secret Room where she had watched and heard everything the Housemates said about her, Tacha felt that ironing out issues with Mike was the best way to go. Perhaps she wanted to have a peaceful homecoming or maybe she really thought about what Mike said at the table about the Eviction humbling her.



Thanks to the Secret Room experience, the Tacha we see now is different from the one we knew before the fake Eviction. From her rapport with Seyi and then the long conversation with Mike, our Port Harcourt first daughter now seem to get along with the others in the House.

That's a strategy.... Not from a place of realness! Trust me...She is playing her game...The real person to me is Mercy....

Over seven months after the death of Nigerian oil mogul, High Chief Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs, controversies have continued to cloud his demise just as his family members are yet to reach a consensus on how to proceed with his remains.

The Rivers State-born billionaire, who was the founder and chairman of Moni Pulo Limited, an oil exploration and production company, died on December 27, 2018, in Accra, Ghana at the age of 89. His demise has since created controversy among his family. The deceased’s widow, Dr. Seinye Lulu- Briggs, who travelled with him, has been accused by her step-children and faction of the family leaders, of having a hand in his death.

According to media reports, the Nigeria Police Force have since waded into the matter by launching an investigation into High Chief’s death. An investigation team led by Adaku Uche-Anya, an assistant commissioner of police has since moved to Accra, Ghana, and together with the Ghana Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) have commenced investigation.

The investigation followed a petition by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the second son of the deceased, to the Inspector-General of Police accusing Seinye, his step-mother, of killing his father among other complaints.

The Ghanaian police consequently issued an order for a post mortem on the corpse of the oil mogul whose remain has been deposited at the Transition Home in Accra, Ghana since December.

Source also reprts that there has been an aged-long crises within the Late O.B Lulu-Briggs family with Dumo, wealthy and influential son of the deceased as the lead actor. In 2003, Dumo and his two brothers –Senibo and Sofiri – took their father, Late Lulu-Briggs, to the Federal High Court to oust him as the Chairman of the company, Moni Pulo Limited, which he founded.


The trio questioned their father’s ability to continue as the chairman of the oil exploration company due to his old age. But as fate would have it, the matter was thrown out in 2004 after they failed to establish how their legal rights which they sought to protect will be affected. However, it was gathered that the main reason they took that action against their father was because of their stepmom, Dr. Seinye, whom they feared would be made the heiress to the Lulu-Briggs’ estate. Fifteen years after, the bickering seems to still fester.

I know this family would have this issue. It was very obvious!

I pray they settle this amicably.

Buhari will not listen until another bigger crises hits us...You don't play with these Shiites.... When they start becoming so violent, they can be worst than Boko haram! What do I know sef? It is well with Nigeria.

Front0lane:
Person wey see this one de yan dust won't remember he is talking about the same Nigeria his beloved PDP ruined for the eternity of the 16 years it ruled without him saying a single word. Despicable soul do abound on NL making senseless comment. They simply forget what rationality is and talk about jargon. Imagine this dull heard defending the same court that set Ibori free on two occasion, the same Ibori that was jailed without bail immediately he landed in London.

Biased fools will not remember to highlight such example but expect Dasuki that stole ammunition fund to be set free by the same corrupt judges, expect Buhari to do nothing about it and then call him toothless bulldog. They labeled Buhari bigot that he prosecute only southerners El Zazazki & Dasuki are both northerner and deranged fools are still wailing. This same lunatic where no where to be found when Ebele Jonathan slaughtered 3 sons of the same El Zazazki.

They will not bother to reason why an ex president slaughter 3 sons of a particular man and his successor from a different party chose to jail this same man till the entirety of his duration ? Bigotry hate n extreme foolishness can only be the reason as it is akin to every PDP Igbo supporter. And yes no idiot should quote me on how to pass my point to fools that refuse to see reason for the last four years.

You did quote someone... And your post was filled up with all sorts of insults...How do one take you seriously? Can't you just air your opinion about the subject matter without been insultive?. I mean, the post is filled with swear words..gush! Na so the vex catch you reach?

Watch o...he will insult me too now..lol!

The man has not done anything wrong as far as am concerned. Some old people can be very stubborn.... The young man demanded for his right...After all, was Wole Soyinka not the head of the group called PIRATES back in his days? Did he not start it? What was the objective of that association? To curb and kick against injustice and bullying of students by the school authorities then..So why did he intend to bully the young man now that he is old... By usurping the man's seat knowing fully well that was not his seat...Abeg Abeg.. The young man no send Wole Soyinka.

Stick your morality into your Anus Oga, and let people live their lives freely and stop condemning people based on your own personal jaundiced and shortsighted opinion

Well I don't blame you... You are still an indomie child judging from your write up and reasoning...if you check my write up, I never insulted you...

Good home training is lacking here..by this am sure you would know where the blame should go to...what a pity!

tomdon:
My goodness!
Who is this deeper life man spewing nonsense.
Just say you want to express your personal devilish opinion. Why not go and live their life for them. What's your business if a lady walks nakedd on the streets??
This is unacceptable to a rational mind.

Rational mind you said? Really? Speaking the truth is not saying the person cannot mind his business...but rather expressing a displeasure about something and profering advice to such thing...Civilization and liberality is what is killing the moral of societal etiquette

patroit001:
Its easier to judge people when you are not in their shoes.

No one is judging anyone here...and why will there be anything like ' in their shoes'

So invariably you are saying those that show cleaverage have a huge justification to do so? So no one should talk about it? Hence it's been termed judging them?

Decency is priceless....Indecency is costly!

There is no justification to dressing indecently especially in a public place...of you wanna do so..do it in your house, within the confinement of your apartment..if you are married dress like that for your husband or wife. But once you are out their cover up.. There are ways one can dress decently and still look beautiful and sexy...

The issue is dem no go hear...
Dem go talk say it's a free world who says it's not a free world?

The judge as used in the context of my quoted post is now a cliché...

There is a whole difference between judging someone and speaking the truth.

If he want to show us the bad side that isn't suppose to be bad, then he should as well show us the good side that isn't suppose to be good. Lest, he become a very wicked unobjective distortionist.

then he should as well show us the good side that isn't suppose to be good


Read your post again please carefully and find out the bold if it should be in the context of what is been disscused.

Udopasa:
Why not show us the whole of the government house? Why must you choose to show us some places that we can not independently verify to be the government house?

What is the mission of Ihedioha? To build, to destroy or to shame?

Why will he show you the whole government house? He will show you areas that are bad and that are not suppose to be bad. Is the new govt coming to do exhibition that he will show you the entire govt house?

Those Christians that refuse to criticise pastors sleeping with their members are wise and know Yahweh's ways are highly mysterious. so mysterious that he might've commanded those pastors to sleep with their members and no one can question him. his wisdom, as the bible said, is like foolishness unto man

Yahweh struck Onan dead for refusing to cum into his brother's wife's vagyna

Yahweh once told the Israelites to kill all midianites but keep young virgin girls as war booty. This sounds wrong to us but whatever Yahweh commands is wise even if it looks wrong in our limited knowledge he has his reasons

Yahweh figuratively destroyed Saul for not totally destroying the Amalekites

Yahweh once told Ezekiel to eat bread baked with human shiit

Same way Yahweh sent lying spirits to Ahab's prophets. This also sounds wrong to us but he has his reasons we aren't privy to and he answers to no one

Yahweh also hardened Pharaoh's heart while using that as opportunity to send more plagues and kill innocent people until all firstborn sons of the Egyptians are dead. This also sounds cruel but that's Yahweh showing us his loving power and nobody should question him

Yahweh's ways are not our ways
its possible Yahweh instructed these pastors to sleep with their members. Yahweh might have his reasons so we should not use our limited knowledge to judge what men talking to and hearing from a being of unlimited knowledge does. those criticising pastors that sleep with members should stop it Beware not to bring a curse upon your lives and future generations by attacking a true men of Yahweh

No sarcasm here joor! His point was plain n simple. I refuse to see or notice any sarcasm in his post. It is his point at the end of his long Epistle that I see that God's ways are not our ways. I would have loved he told us the new testament perspective on this. Where Grace has taken over but with a question attached to it ..should we still abide in sin because Grace is sufficient for us?

Yea His ways are not our ways. However, we are in the dispensation of Grace...so because Grace abounds for us and it's equally sufficient for us should we then continue in sin? All what you posted happened in the old testament, when God was directing the affairs of humans almost directly...but now is different... Like I said the Grace took over our short comings...Jesus Christ already took our sins and nailed it on the cross but should we still begin to commit sin freely?

No one is judging anyone her and surely Timi is not judging anyone either but he clearly spoke the truth!

Morally what is bad is bad and we should say it the way it is ...no garnishing.

No one is perfect no doubt...however we should not be quiet when something like this occurs.

I saw one video of Borno state governor crying during his farewell broadcast and I am like "who do us this kind strong juju"

That guy can cry for Africa! Cry cry baby governor... Shior!

HeyCorleone:
Honestly it's disgusting.

Like what's our business if she burnt the noodles? Isn't it a relationship matter? Why involve netizens?

The way people are quick to bring issues that are meant to be personal to the internet is so alarming. That's why marriages and relationships fail.

But is it compulsory to comment on such thread? You have the liberty to scroll and pass....

Most people come to social media and bare their pain out just for others to learn from it...it's a free world now....the choice lies on the netizens as you called it to either pay attention to it or not.

dingbang:
And you wey dey house, what were you doing?

This question is irrelevant..who is cooking? Did he tell you if he was at home? There is no justification to that negligence! Let's call a spade a spade....what is wrong is wrong..you don't garnish it . while will someone be cooking and then forgets oneself while watching a program...that's gross irresponsibility..

chriskosherbal:
But wait I can understand these guys are celebrities and they have all the attention mainly from the female folks but to think we are talking about the 4th baby mama, makes me wonder the number of ladies these guyz have entered without protection... Is just unheard-of

I have FEAR for STD more than pregnancy dunno if am the only one here?

Well maybe I haven't gotten to that level, maybe there is a level you get to and you know longer need protection during sex ...well what do I know sef.

The ladies should learn to say No to these celebrities advances....Abi dem close their eyes when the guys been dey enter dem? More so, do these ladies don't know when they are ovulating ? Even if they don't know, but they should strongly say No to casual sex when they are not ready to have a child for the celebrity guy they are shagging....Everytime these ladies will come to social media and be ranting like say dem force them to get pregnant...

To all the ladies that like this kinda stuff with celebrity males, or any male at all, say NO to casual sex and if you really want the sex and you do it without protection, get ready to face the whole 9 yards afterwards! Otherwise, use condoms!

Is Gbenro not the father of the child? What is he doing in the U.S?His wife is an actress, its a known fact that actresses go away on location,He should understand better because he is in the same line of work.

OK....noted.

The pussay of an average non-virgin Nigerian lady can comfortably swallow 3 of that cucumber, especially the slim ladies.

That's why I want to marry a blessed virgin lady. I wouldn't want in a situation where I'll be fvckin my wife and she'll be busy commenting on Nairaland like nothing is happening.

And a female is talking like this....abi na male dey behind this moniker? Lol

NobleAngell:
Yeah, that's my opinion. Feel free to air yours.
