It is not as yet connected to the main railway
system of Nigeria, except by river. An isolated standard gauge railway connects the steelworks to its source of iron ore at Itakpe. A connection of this railway to the port of Warri is unfinished.it connects the west of Nigeria to the east and also
the north to the southern part, although it is not
the only route to pass through but it helps.

We hope that the southerners who were shouting that buhari can not be tribalistic in this modern nigeria are seeing it.
With the way its going,these people are gradually placing themselves to rule in every government parastatal and agency even in the next 25years.

There are just about 4 ibo names here, the rest are from Edo and Yoruba land. Hmmmmmmm, Hypocrites everywhere. Ipob yoots are even calling Yoruba fellow southerners in "one" Nigeria. guess they Have a common enemy here. But what we fail to understand is the fact that these guys were occupying positions which directly relates with his office. This is a brilliant move if he has to succeed. Our focus should be on their replacements instead.

During GEJ Akwa Ibom and Cross River states did well. There was a lot of construction going on in Bayelsa too.

r.

Pls mention some projects that were on going in bayelsa during GEJ.

He was the President of Nigeria for 5 years. That meant that he had other concerns besides the Niger Delta, such as:
Building schools for people whose parents refuse to send them to school
Building universities (in the North)
Dealing with Islamic insurgents in the North
Making deals for the renovation of the rail network
Selling Nigeria's potential at the World Economic Forum


You forget that these Niger Delta states have governors. Akwa Ibom and Cross River State have used their resources well, you can see the work that has been done. Bayelsa had seen practically no development from independence until it became a state, they've been working to get up to speed. Rivers, on the other hand, is a disgrace. So much money has been wasted in that state - from the monorail to the world class hospital that never was.

Lol!!! How u must defend GEJ by spitting on Amaechi's face. You even mentioned monorail that the opposition hanged their campaign on but left out the 6 star hotel alams started that is still standing like a bereaved woman in yenagoa. As a gov and president GEJ failed his pple. Amaechi on the other hand did well in rivers state save for politics.
The almajiri sub standard schools built by GEJ could not even survive his tenure yet, that is what you will placate as one of his achievements.
Btw, who said the president can not influence the development of his area. Where they no state govs in the north where u mentioned he did "wonders"? Defending GEJ for ignoring the ND is like saying an imam is the head of the Catholic church. GEJ knew he goofed that was why he begged the pple of the ND for a second chance.
For this mata, GEJ fail like bug time.

"I BROUGHT THE POLYTECHNIC FROM BORI TO PORT HARCOURT so that Academics will be close to the people" -- Nyesom Wike on Rhythm 93.7FM 7AM News.

Nobody is in Ogoni. People don't live there. People don't stay there. People don't visit there. That's why Wike said "I moved the Poly from Bori to PH to bring education closer to the people".
Those are his words. Note that he said he "moved". Go check the meaning of that word before you come with your weak defense of Wike's action.

The poly in bori moved? To where pls? Just hope they have not annexed one of the model schools Amaechi built for this purpose. If this gist is true then it is a minus.

Brother pls throw more light on this gist.

cocoduck:
no we will not be ruled by nigerians, nnamdi kanu has distinguished himself as a great leader that is ready to offer himself up for what is right, he did not smuggle himself into the zoo, do you think that he did not know that he will be arrested once he steps into lagos? He did that after travelling to different countries, who among ur leaders can do that, this is just the beginning of pangs of distress for nigeria, i know your buhari will fail, then it will be clear to all and sundry, and he is failing already just wait till 2019

Nnamdi kanu distinguished himself how? A man woke up one morning and decides to lead pple to their graves by preaching hate and telling abled body men and women that they are second class citizens in their country, that they live in a zoo and that they should abandon their multi trillion naira businesses to form a new country, that's what you call distinguished. Ddnt know it's that easy to drive pple to the edge. Let me ask you this:
Is it not same kanu who hid in a hotel room with a fictitious name and a lady to cool his burning heart?
Is it not same kanu with different passports and different names?
Is it not same kanu that crawled into Nigeria in the dark of the night with fake names?
Befor you come at me try to clear the air on my queries Biko.

Flyingngel:
This is getting interesting. But this OKON ABANG like giving judgement that can make ur belle to turn.

Op, remove Amaechi from your list. Amaechi is a home boy who mingled freely till Mbu and his master's brought back insecurity. He drove himself with a modest convoy throughout his day as gov. He carried out many unscheduled visits to project sites and even friends. The good days of rivers state are long gone. Amaechi visited project sites alone in those days, No convoy, no security, no press men and no rented praise singers. sentiment apart, If you were in rivers state during odili, omehia, Amaechi and now wike, you will give it to amaechi.
He may not have been a good (Nigerian) politician but he surely is a down to earth man.

faaz24:
1. If Buhari prosecutes an Igbo man for corruption, Igbo people will say he's doing ethnic cleansing.

2. If he prosecutes a fellow Fulani man, they will say it's because the criminal is a PDP member.

3. If he prosecutes a fellow APC member, they will say it's because the criminal is giving Buhari a tough time within the party & they're trying to frustrate the accused out of the party.

4. If he prosecutes someone that doesn't belong to any political party, they will say it's because the criminal is an anti-government critic.

They're yet to say whether the person being prosecuted is guilty of the said crime or not. We're simply comedians! I already said it. Buhari's anti-corruption fight won't be possible inasmuch as we keep politicizing and ethnicizing the whole thing. To discover that the same set of people that want corruption stamped out are the same ones saying all these things breaks one's heart.

When GEJ was president, why didn't he also prosecute all the thieves in the opposition? He was trying to be Mr. Nice? Mr. Nice that landed us in what we are in right now?

Get me right. I want Aregbesola's account frozen like Fayose's. But if I'm to distribute gifts to a group of people whose names are on a list, does it matter whether I start from the top, bottom, or middle? The most important thing is that the name of anybody that gets the gift is on the list, isn't it? Ok. What if the gift finishes before it reaches some people?

Well, in this case, it's not exactly the same. Buhari's gift is enough to go round everybody. So no matter where he starts from on the list, nobody will miss out on the gift. And nobody can dictate to him where he should start from. He made the list, not you or me. He that makes the list reserves the right to start anywhere he wishes. Instead of wasting our energy arguing on where he's starting from, we should ask whether someone who doesn't deserve a gift has gotten one. If that hasn't happened, then what has the noise been all about?

Gbam!!!
Ekpas won't see the light in this. Bruv, you have spoken well. How they come to conclude that president buhari is the problem instead of the solution baffles me.

GEJ will be remembered for many things, some good some bad. What we are experiencing in rivers state today is GEJ's handiwork. He murdered peace in rivers because he had issues with one man. Cultist and militants came back to rivers state in their thousands. Today they have transformed into armed robbers and kidnappers.
I don't care how he fared on the national stage but, for bringing back insecurity to the Niger delta, thunder will fire GEJ, PEJ, Wike, Obuah, Secondus et al.
If you know you are a brainless yoot or addict (adult) quote me befor you read.

Warning: Do not come close to my mention if you haven't gone thru the rules.

Is that also the function of EFCC? I just hope they don't arrest religious leaders for preaching too much.

Do you know the full meaning of EFCC?

FirstLadyNaija:
Mrs Ibim Semenitari, the Acting DG of Niger Delta Development Commission

(NDDC),Former Commissioner for Information under the Chibuike Rotimi

Amaechi administration recently paid a Seven Million Naira

(7,000,000:00) Per annum for 4 Years to herself as Rent in her own house

which is located on Ernest Ikoli Street, Old G.R.A , Port Harcourt City, Rivers state .

It will be recalled that this same woman when the administration of the current

loquacious minister for Transport Mr. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi rounded up had

been indicted in car scam which with the help of authorities was recovered from

her residence in July 2015.

NDDC, I was made to understand usually provides allocation for rent for their

DG(s) over the period of their tenures but for an Acting DG who is illegally

occupying a seat that should be for Akwa Ibom State based on the rotation

formula amongst the Niger Delta states to ask the Finance Department to pay

her rent to herself for her own property is the height of corruption.

We are still trying to come to understanding why Garba Shehu, the Presidential

Spokesman to Muhammadu Buhari buying over $800,000:00 at CBN rates and

selling off to public at N362 per dollar and the recent #iStandWithBuhari

N2 Billion scam and ow this.

We call upon the authorities to check this information and do the needful.

If we do not collectively fight corruption , it will kill Nigeria.

At a time the citizens of the country are queuing for PMS and a bag of garri is

costing N6000 per bag and a bag of Rice (Oryza Sativa) at N15/16,000 per bag,

this is more than inhumane. This is a pure act of greed and wickedness from

the Change agents in the Muhammadu Buhari led administration.

Receipt of the payments is readily available for verification.

The isrealites will blame everyone but themselves. I still wonder why even the igbos tag Edo girls as prostitutes considering their exploit in the industry. Truth is the isrealites take over any thing that crosses their paths and turn it into a money making machine, even if it means locking humans up in one small room. Biaf...... I hail ooooo

Sleeping at EFCC office after Aptitude Test PH

Mehn! I can't think straight. We started out the EFCC graduate cadre aptitude test at 11PM and finished at 12AM. I wanted to go home, but decided to sleep over. We're all tired and worn out. The test was kinda easy for some of us, but the punishment they gave us made us to lose concentration. I have not eaten since morning and my body is so itchy right now. I wish the day will break fast.

Where you slept was a rivers state govt property not Efcc office. The much I know is that the Obi Wali Oil and Gas conference centre has enough bathrooms where u could have washed. Hope the mosquitoes ddnt feast on you so much. This is just one of those things you face on your way to the top. Congrats in advance bro.

igweross:
My bro just came in this morning. Quite sad.
The govt demands change from her people. They should show good example. Why on earth will test start by 11pm,how do u expect them to think properly at that time. I wish u all applicants success. We will get to better days as a nation.

I think it was deliberate. I was there last night and the guys finished around that 12am as op said. But sitting for an Efcc exam shouldn't be a straight forward thing by my calculation. Stuffs like this tests ones preparedness for the job.
I hear it was same in Lagos centre.

ICEFLAME419ja:
The question is who sponsored the abokiz election? Where was the money from?

Back your allegation with facts and figures. This is the age of information. If assumptions were to be taking forfacts even you won't be spared .

nnachukz:
Wike must explain the money he withdrew from CBN but Amaechi given money to people who are still alive and never did the work for which they were paid should not be questioned. Oh God why create us in the midst of this pathetic hypocrites.

Obviously wike is lieing. Amaechi renovated schools and built many new ones. Wike sacked the teachers Amaechi employed, abandoned most of the schools he built, closed down timariv, stopped overseas scholarship to rivers students (indigenes and non indigenes) and has refused to pay workers for months. So tell me, where did he suddenly get this information from. If his panel of inquiry and his many paid court jesters ddnt see it how can we believe him now that the Efcc has found something on him. your hatred for anything Amaechi stinks to high heavens. can't the pdp mention names and give figures to drive their allegation home. See who is calling another hypocrite.....You have to look at it properly Mr pretender.

The average rivers man has a poor idea of politics. They see everything from a very myopic and illogical point of view. For them, wike is the best thing to happen to rivers state even in the face of all the killings, kidnappings, armed robbery, lawlessness, imposed school fees, refusal to pay overseas scholarship, little or no funding for primary health centres, aboandoning of his predecessor's agricultural programs and returning militants to mainstream politics.
What is happening in rivers today is a direct result of the strategy deployed by wike to win elections even when the tide favoured the pdp. The last time we had a rivers so insecure was when odili did same against his benefactors, marshal Harry, AK dikibo and co.
Like ekiti, some rivers pple call wike grass root politician because he thrives in mediocrity and trivialities. Truely, a pple get the leader they deserve. Wike spends more money in paying local tabloids to advertise his substandard roads and sniff around amachi's anus than he spends on the real project itself. in rivers state today, the health, education, security and agricultural aspects are virtually non existent. Wike is called best gov rivers has ever had for making already existing roads narrower with open drainage system. They compare him to Amaechi in such a hurry as though his tenure of 4yrs comes to an end next month. For them he has surpassed ameachi in every aspect of governance. This is the river of today.
The rivers APC is on point on this.

How does this explain the billions you withdrew from the CBN, Wike. This man and fayose are like aki and pawpaw of Nigerian politics. They never disappoint.

doctokwus:
U fall my hand.
Cant u see they are two different pictures of different individuals?
The real zenith men are in red ties,even'with fayose's scamming,they wudnt knee down.
I bet d one kneeling down is not a zenith staff,just planted after d other scammed ones left.
Are u not curious how fast these pics were released by d govt spokesman and how well focuzsed on d camera d one kneeling down is.That shud av got ur brain ticking.
24hrs fayozse is planning how to scam pple,rich and poor.

My point exactly.
1. The pictures did not capture all the so called officials together in same maeeting with fayose.
2. Fayose and his gang of shameless conspirators mentioned names of zenith bank officials that visited but did not tell us the name of the one that porpetrdly knelt down.
3. The resolutions of the photographs looked like the one with the guys in black ties was taking at night. Maybe after the real officials and press men had left.
4. The video I saw did not also capture this scene and these men were not there in that video.
5. The video ddnt also show the officials begging. Instead we had an edited video of a guy asking questions right there while the men were still seated with the gov. mind you it was suppose to be a meeting with the gov and not a press conference so, questions should have waited till after the meeting.
6. The video was edited from the point where the so called zenith official was struggling with the whole set up to when fayose addressed the press in the absence of the same pple he said came begging.
7. We did not Realy get to hear anything reasonable comment from the banks staffs.

Finally, it was a poorly done job ones again.

crazymommy:
You of all people should know that PDP and violence are like Paul and Silas,they pray together...

knightsTempler:
You are freezing Fayose's account knowing you cannot bring him to court in any way and manner? To what end then?

entire Sec 308 of the 1999 Constitution verbatim. The Section provides:

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Constitution, but subject to subsection (2) of this section -

(a) No civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office;

(b) A person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and

(c) No process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued: Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of his period of office.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party.

(3) This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy Governor; and the reference in this section to "period of office" is a reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office.

its sad .... APC has set into motion their defeat...
A motion fuelled by the non reward of loyalty...
its obvious that other aspirant including d present deputy governor ... pius odubu... will set modalities in place to work for the pdp why still aligning themselves with APC.. PIUS ODUBU is one man dat oshiomole didnt give him his due as a deputy governor... he virtually made d man powerless and ineffective in his government... he never allowed or consented to the manz wishes or idea... even his local government didnt fill the presence of government despict having their son as a deputy governor....
This obaseki dat is not a grassroot politician can not hold sway when push comes to shove in the presence of pastor ize iyamu

Odubu is from my local govt and my village has felt the hands of this administration immensely. It is uneisebto want to outshine your boss. As a deputy gov he is to serve the purpose of his boss.
As for the choice of Obaseki, he may have been chosen by his boss but he sure has more quality than Pius Odubu. If Ize Iyamu picks the pdp ticket, that will give it to APC. Both Obaseki and Iyamu are from Edo south which means their deputies will come from Edo central most likely. Edo north is in for APC already with the support the gov has from his area. My village for instance, is the most populous community in my local govt area and we are voting for APC. Odubu never cared till Oshiomole came to our rescue. Erosion had almost washed half of the village away when Oshiomole showed up and mended things.

macino1:
by force marriage called "Nigeria" is to be blamed. What ever happened to true federalism, resource control, etc

Must you comment. Are the pple killed Hausa/ falani or Yoruba pple? What is resource control in a matter of brother killing brother and son killing father. The gangs in rivers state are plain stu.kid and callous.
Btw, what do u understand by true federalism? Does it say the money will be shared on the streets of the Niger delta? Does it say every ethnic group will benefit Wether they have oil or not? Maybe it says your leaders will all repent overnight and turn away from stealing.
Every govt in the world is run by humans and not computers.

Jakpon:
Okay, so the Nigerian Senate are currently having a retreat on constitutional amendment. Where are all those southern senators that have been blabbing about ''restructuring'', ''resource control'', ''regionalism'', ''federalism'', and all those jargons? Where is Ben Bruce, the twitter Senator?

Where u wan see them.
They will crawl out of their holes after the exercise to shout like my 2yr old daughter shouts when NEPA flashes light. Very lame set of pple. Oduah and Ekweremadu are shameless ipob apologist.
