That explains why Fayose has time to be talking rubbish!
The bingo is practically living off the Federation account yet can't show the president some respect.

Lolz.....na President get the money??

rolchi:
Charles Okah...Henry Okah...all in one report? Something is really amiss!

I tell u...these people are so confused...they are talking about Charles and the man is quoted as saying Henry?? Something is not right

Some people are just too dumb....so "militants" now means they must b from the Niger Delta?? I tot the west was well educated

I this is a big time mis information....wack jonalism

thomasthomas:
I have always said it that Niger Delta will be a war zone worst than South Sudan if they secede from Nigeria. Imagine common Ijaw Youth Council cannot conduct an election or selection to have their leaders.

Is this the calibre of people that will dialogue with the President on issues concerning the Niger Delta? it's a pity!

Is this the same people that will conduct an election in a country they wish to have? The Niger Delta people have not been progressive people that's why even with the oil in the region because of the greed and selfishness of the people, they cannot even benefit from the resources because of the winner takes all mentality.

Since blame is a lazy man's game they choose to blame the FG for their woes and don't be surprised that people will still blame President Buhari for this. Bayelsa State governor had one time said that 'Bayelsa people are very lazy, and I'll like to extend it to the whole Niger Delta, politics is like an industry in the region because one doesn't need to do much to gain billions hence the fight!

I pity those supporting the Niger Delta Avengers, you think they are fighting for you but you'll be shocked when the chickens finally come to roast, that's the same mentality then in South Sudan but today they realise that Sudan wasn't the enemy. It's too late. Be wise!

My friend......why are you guys so interested in hating on the Niger Delta, and Ijaw in particular...this are internal issues....and it may happen to any organization or group as far as ones interest is in conflict with another's...we all saw what happend(happening) to PDP....it happend to APC at some point when saraki and Dogara issues came up...I mean even our "honorable" reps nd senators fight, using mace to chase each other, some even climbing fence..are they all from Ijaw or Niger Delta??... oh u think we are so lazy?? Well why not allow the lazy people to stay on their own with their lazy ass??
Why not Mind your business and leave the Niger Delta alone

Does mean this people doesn't have the right info ...I just found out that Jonathan isn't even eligible for the award until the next two years

[quote author=mrvitalis post=46709641]Ijaws always feeling like they are the only tribe in Niger Delta.... They know we're there boundary ends sha... .. The ijaws in delta should have be caved in to Bayelsa do we have peace.. . Let them kill themselves in that state

I will keep saying it ijaws are the worst tribe in this country... . Thank GOd the are not a major tribe.. ... we for hear am.. . Fulani would be a small case [/q

Wetin Ijaw do u guy??...what makes Ijaw the worst tribe like u said...?

QuotaSystem:
The nature of the article is such that it is a critical analysis made up of independently verifiable facts; the writer simply linked the seemingly 'independent' events to make sense of the madness in the delta.

Makes a lot of sense. Tompolo must be apprehended and dealt with decisively, afterall, he is still a wanted fugitive.

This guys sef....why are u on every thread concerning Niger Delta Pls I would just like to know

NigerDeltan:
Why una want kill una sef bc of this oil

its a pity you guys cant do without talking about Nigerdelta.

May be you should also tell us who was Nigeria's president from 1999 - 2007 but dont also forget to tell us the minister of cocoa in those years.

NDA simple demand is let me manage my resources (oil n gas) and you also manage your cocoa

Ma brother....me.am tired of them, all I do these days is to watch and laugh at their comments....they come up with silly stories like "our son was their for six years" and all that. Making it seem like Nigeria had just existed for six years...or the oil exploration started six years ago
I thought they were bragging about the oil in Lagos and ondo, (not forgetting the one in Chad basin) why are they still worried that the oil in ND would no longer flow again?? Where is all the talk about diversifying the economy bla bla bla

With Their hypocritical statements like "let them blow up everything" "they are destroying their land" " who will suffer more" etc...but will still cry to high heavens when a pipe line is being blown up...BTW, our lands are already polluted to a large extent, so allow us with our polluted land..just leave us alone..we no do again

SirJeffry:
Where is Asari Dokubo? His silence and calmness these days baffles minds like mine.

Asari is in Benin rep. Observing his Muslim ramandan fasting

They are deducting #25 from ma two.mtn lines everyday... whenever there is more Dan #25 in any of the sims...it's gone.before the next day....I taya for Mtn o

priceaction:
Why was now nddc has them inclusive in their programs? Why are they categorized as South South, ? Was it because of political manipulations? I mean those initial States that I earlier mentioned? I need more clarification. I have stayed in the creeks of bayelsa and average ijaw man don't believe in working, but believe that they own oil? I think it is part of why it is highly volatile.

My guy.abeg which of.the creeks u stay....being or.staying in.Bayelsa doesn't mean u are in the creeks....wud like to know the particular Creek u stayed...thank u

madridsta007:
Hon. Amaechi proved in Rivers State that he can achieve befitting projects when he has the money.

Yeah... Like the Rivers State Monorail Project which Amaechi Spent over $400 million... And yet still abandoned it at this stage.

Attached is the picture of the 'befitting project' Amaechi achieved.

No mind Alahaji Ameachi....after causing endless traffic for the area with plenty money wasted....him go still get mind come dey shine eye for TV...

Big Big talk every time

TonyeBarcanista:
God knows that I have never supported armed struggle, specifically militants agitations

Am sorry sir..ill be grateful if u answered this question....what have u done on your own right to improve the life of the average Niger Deltan....what do you think is the best way for the struggle (protest like Biafra people) just answer these questions abeg

maxzzo1:
Army saw them and recognized them as John Togo's boyz Hmmmm hw am i sure that dis Army pple are not involved Or else hw did dey know dat dey are Togo's boyz

I wonder oh....may b something like. "John Togo's boys" was written boldly on d speed boat.... these guys are even funnier than I thought

toneawe:
I believe there are army that are from Niger-Delta.FG should send their own people that are in the army to go fit themselves since them nor wan get sense. Go and see what the Igbos and deltans are doing in Lagos. U will think they own Lagos.yet, Yorubas never fit them say make dem nor come take work from them. This is a nation that anyone has the right to be and do anything he/she likes in as much it's in accordance with the Constitution governing the nation. Why won't FG probe past leaders from Niger-Delta? Even when they k kw that these leaders even forsake them. Instead of them to seize the opportunity to bring their wicked leaders to justice, they are protecting them. It's a pity. For the 7 years Jonathan ruled, what change was brought to Niger-Delta? Y didn't they do this rubbish during his time? DG should use jet fighters to wipe them out of the surface of this earth because it's not a just fight they are fighting.

It's a pity that this people are attaching political sentiments to the Niger Delta struggle....WTF has Dasuki got to do with the Niger Delta What has PDP and APC gat to do with us either... we want a N.Delta Republic...that's all....
The earlier the NDA took away that part of their demand the better for us....unless they are out there to play politics with the name.of Niger Delta agaim

SuperS1Panther:
PMB should declare State of Emergency in RIvers, Delta and Bayelsa.

All routes in and out of the creeks in those states, whether on land sea or air should be blocked.

CIvilians should be given a window to pass through controlled exit points to safety within a stipulated period.

Afterwards, bombing of everything moving and standing on land air and sea should commence. There should be continuous and sustained baptismal of hell fire for 7days and 7 nights by Army, Air FOrce and Navy.

Simply assist the militants to finish off their bombing assignment.

Nigeria will start exploration again afterwards. No one has a monopoly of madness.

This guy sef Abi u think say Niger Delta na one room Wey if u close door no body fit pass.....some of u don't even know.the Niger Delta enough....

Lolz... this guys.....the last time I checked.... Young Shall Grow (Selky Torughedi) was still govt. Property, being guarded by security operatives....this is just a speculation...

Amberon11:
These people are more diplomatic than the NDA.

True Federalism or nothing. The Federal govt cannot continue stealing from us under the pretext of one Nigeria. You have your cows, we have our oil. You take the proceeds of your Agriculture and mineral resources but we share our crude oil revenue.

Never Again #TrueFederalismOrNothing

This people are fake, and shouldn't be taken serious at all....NDA is the main deal..... this ones just dey find money with empty threat...

Sweetlemon:
Although I think 100 is a bit too small, but are these not the kinds of things the ordinary ND indegenes should be interested in and not all that "resource control" and "appointments" nonsense elites program us to chant whenever they want to use us to further their interests?

You people will tell me if it is your family that will be "controlling the resources" o, or if you are lobbying for appointments for yourself or family member.
Mtcheeeeeew. smh

Why are you guys so worried about the Niger Delta?? So our struggle for resource control they pain you
I don't just know why some people are obsessed with issues concerning Niger Delta

We need you back....I don't want to hear things like..."Buhari meant well for Nigeria before his....." "Buhari would have been the best President if not for......." "Osibanjo is incompetent" etc....fix your ear and come back.....you have 3 years left

bakar007:
na bad belle dey worry u lol, only ijaws things dey pain una for body. Niger delta ministry, desopadec as a result of 5-13%increase ,amnesty slot, etc all come from the blood of the ijaw militants, not ur tribes slave mentality with their Northern masters that brought this to this Niger delta.and note our areas produce 60% the oil of Nigeria so get that to ur head.

*In Chief Barrister Smith's voice*
Itsekiri wahhhh
Urohbo moor oh

With unity we can developer our state
Woni mo boh let's live as one.....


Peace people

TheGoodJoe:
I read all that but both of us know that Wachuku achieved especially with making sure Amaechi’s projects were completed. Achieving a lot with the funds at his disposal. I did not buy that Wachuku is a lazy man talk.

Wike did not charge the new commissioner not to be lazy. He charged him for new projects. Meanwhile thy are a lot of projects close to completion that would benefit the Rivers People.

While embark on new ones when the Government can achieve more with less money. Wachuku had the right direction for the state.

One reason I keep quiet and watch in this forum (and many other platforms) is the difficulty in convincing people who just believes in their opinion as the real deal...
You just assuming the reason behind the sack, when a cogent reason was given by the govt..you have refused to give the governor the benefit of doubt just because of your political sentiments....Wike made a recent statement that he was going to complete projects left by Ameachi b cause it's of the greater good of the people..most of the roads been completed and commissioned were Ameachi's project.... however he said he was going to discontinue the rail project even b4 d election....

BTW...I'm not one of those who are wowed by the Wike administration...not yet until four years...though he has quenched a reason percent of my doubt...

TheGoodJoe:

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has sworn-in in a new Commissioner for Works, Harrison Bethel Iheanyichukwu with a charge that the new commissioner must work hard to deliver on THE NEW RIVERS PROJECTS.

posting a link is not enough...just read the content and give me word for word what Wike said..

Please posting a link is not enough...go read the content and see what he saidabout the sacked commissioner

TheGoodJoe:

When you guys want to make your point, you attack the person. Leave how I feel about Hon. Amaechi.

The distance so far is just the first phase of the project. The so called billions screamed about is not only for the first phase. It was to cover a long distance and it would have eased urban mass transit on the road. It would also generate revenue internally for the state daily.

How it would generate the revenue is why am asking.....i didn't attack u or Ameachi,i only said u should come clean without sentiments. Like I said before, I would have loved the rail to be completed because of the amount of money spent already and the beauty it would add to the covered area.

Lastly I ain't talking about the projected amount...am talking about how much has been spent already before it got to.this stage...

Ameachi has truly been the best governor of Rivers state, though we are urging Wike to even do more...

TheGoodJoe:

One of the reasons Wike sacked the outgoing Commissioner of Works was because he continued most of Amaechi’s projects in the state.

It was not a delight to Wike.

Actually, the Monorail would add commercial value to Port-Harcourt and the State.

What commercial value are u talking about?? Do u even know the distance covered by the rail.?? Commercial value in the sense of tourism??...again I'll asked do u know how much money that was pump into that project....I know u have a soft spot for Ameachi (which u have the right to) let's say the truth....

And again...for the commissioner of works....Wike stated the reasons why he was relieved of his duties...and I did not hear him mention anything concerning Ameachi project...

TheGoodJoe:

“Governor Wike said that he will not touch Amaechi’s monorail and that the entire state has told him not to continue with the project. Can someone please tell Wike that the monorail belongs to Rivers State and it’s not Amaechi’s private monorail”, Hon. Amaechi stated.

U probably didn't take notice of some of the revelations concerning that monorail....do u know how much has been spent on that rail....do u know Ameachi was adviced to discontinue d project at a ground level b cos it was of no economic value to the state?? ...don't put politics to everything u do...it has helped nobody...and certainly wouldn't help you....Ameachi is a great man any day any time.....he did well for his people b4 politics came over him...I'll like wike to continue the project....but he even made it clear before he was elected..that he won't continue with it...b.cos it won't add any economic value to d average rivers man.....BTW. He continued with almost every other project that was left by Ameachi...if not for few that he hasn't said anything about.....

Abagworo:
You are so wrong with your ascertion. Almost the entire South Central Nigeria once paid tributes to Benin kingdom.

@OP Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Edo are not Niger Delta. They are only in South south as a Geopolitical zone. Niger Delta comprises of the Niger tributaries which is inhabited mostly by Ijaw ethnic group and other smaller ethnic groups like Okrika, Kalabari, Ogbia, Abua, Andoni, Bonny who are all closely related to Ijaw.

All the tribes u mentioned regards themselves as Ijaw.. except for maybe Abua Andoni

Lolz

Reminds me of a friend who use Infinix Hot Note....... His phone froze & you know that phone's battery lasts die, he had to start praying cause the phone was on 93% when it happened. When My guy see say prayer no dey work for that kind thing, he go keep phone for under bed for 2 days.
