Bishop will be sharing money with no development
Udom will bring 'work to target' banking strategy to the civil service which is being termed Harsh.

Sabastine is relatively unknown
Umana is corrupt, wicked (stop 13th month) and high handed.
Onofiok is too young
Okpolum doesn't have the structure.

barcanista: I read and laugh at the comments of some dudes that think they have the exclusive right to decide for the people of Ibeno and co. The plaNned Oil Rivers state shouldn't cause this unnecessary bikering btw the Great Ijaw Nation and our Akwa Ibom neighbours. The proposed state is an exclusive btw the concerned communitiies and not an expansionist agenda. Well done Ijawcitizen and kel4soft....

Idrismusty97: ...And love Nigeria less! Are you talking about the omnipotent whose love is unlimited? Or is this a different god.

Idrismusty97: What about Nigeria?

ujoinme: ibeno and obolos are not ijaws. but they have ijaws resident in those areas, as ijaws reside in all riverine areas in Nigeria. ijaws also reside an fish in all the coastal towns and villages in Akwa ibom like the oro nation all the way to the river bounded communities of uruan and itu.

By the way eastern obolo and ibeno are not the only oil producing communities in Akwa Ibom. others include Eket, Esit Eket,oron, mbo, udung uko, onna etc. While the upland ibibios and parts of annang( oruk anam and ukanafun) are sitting ontop of one the largest gas deposit in Nigeria.
Akwa ibom is one and will remain one.

BishopMagic: Yorubas can not practice simple peaceful democracy.
It is either they murder their opponent or use rice and odorless fufu to buy hungry voters

barcanista: let me be honest with you, State creation is the least on my mind. We need to adopt true federalism for everyone to benefit. Our fundamental challenge as a people boils down to the fact that communities that produces our wealth are abandoned including yur community. The State Creation shd be left to regional govt. This pseudo federalism won't av much effect

pazienza: Sowie bro, but if truly the Ibeno and Eastern Obolo people want out of Akwa ibom, the rest of Akwa ibom people forcing them to stay with them, will be akin to the parasitic North forcing Biafra to stay with them.


I think in this case, the aspiration and political will of Ibeno and Eastern Obolo people and their leaders should be rightly and firstly considered before that of the rest of Akwa ibom people.


Attah and the rest of Akwa ibom leaders should stop wasting time chasing shadows, they should be meeting the political and traditional leaders of Ibeno and Eastern Obolo,and try to woo them to consider the bond of kinship between them and the rest of Akwa ibom people, Akwa ibom state govt should start building infrastructures in those two areas to warm themselves into the heart of the people, other people empowerment programmes should be instituted in the area.

By treating those people special,and giving them the lionshare of the state offshore oil allocations,and giving them more political power in the state, you stand a chance of killing their desires for self determination.

ijawcitizen: 1. You got that right! Oil Rivers is purely Ijaw, and its not made up of one single Ijaw kingdom but several, specifically all Ijaw kingdoms east of Bayelsa 2. Why is it your KWANSAN on what we decide to name our state? 3. Everyone Is free to demand 4 their right of self determination provided it doesn't infringe on other peoples' genuine right,& the opposition to an ijaw state by attah&co is an eg of exercising a wrong typo' right just becos ibibios are majority in akwa ibom state.
