This is a case of a dog who sees itself a Tiger.

I wish wike can start seeing the monorail project Amaechi initiated as a rivers project and not Amaechi monorail. Wike should borrow a cue from Ambode. govt is a continuum.

ganisucks:
Do I look like a junkie, respect yourself

See as you be like Wetin dem vomit. See bald head like expired osho. You surely reason with your kneecap. You are a true definition of the word "mistake".

Agunechemba1:
This is what you miss when you have an uneducated illiterate dictator who is old enough to be a great grand father as president.

The emergence of buhari must have dealt you a terrible blow. Take heart my fellow Nigerian.

modath:
Wike is smart, he knows the right sentiments to pander to, we are christians, our brother was betrayed and so on.

Wike withdrew scholarship students and is using the funds to sponsor pilgrimage....

Nigeria is a laugh a minute..

Very political.

Good morning Mo.

Being a true true born again christian is different from a being christian by the name of it. Infact, practising christianity in this modern world is no mean feat. Atleast 80% of christians will commit one sin or the other before the end of the day regardless of todays church service. But at the end of the day, if Riverians are given a form to fill their religious inclination, atleast, 99.7% will fill Christianity.

So,Wike has a valid point.

Christian for mouth pagan for action. Ok!
For me it's a careless statement. He stopped education grants to students on scholarship but claiming holier than the pope on religious matter.
Claiming to be a Christian, going to church and calling God's name does not make you a Christian. You must be a Christian bfor you become a born again Christian. For me the pilgrimage thing is more of an excursion. A true convert will do what it takes to see the holy land if he/she wishes to do so.
Pls let's not argue religion here. You know what I mean.

jamesversion:
You will not mind your business and face Yoruba matters, you think Rivers is SWest where Christianity and Islam are equally divided?

Rivers is 100% christian, so Wike aint sponsoring any muslim anywhere. Infact, very soon we will ban the use of mosques in Rivers state. Our house of assembly will only move the motion.

I think rivers is actually 30% Christians, 50% pagans and 20% atheist. Christians don't kill themselves. Christians don't behead pple. Christians don't kidnap pple. A Christian does not deny his brother because of election and party affiliation. The stories emanating from rivers do not have the colouration of a Christian state. The guys here must repent and practice Christianity as a way of life bfor claiming 100%.

we should advocating the scrapping of states pilgrims boards.
#savethemoney #salvationispersonal
Yeye dey smell.

odikimi:
please we don't have any other religion in Rivers. Whenever Zamfra state stops Sharia law then we can think about it sponsoring Muslims in rivers for psilgrimage

Intending Pilgrims should sponsor themselves. Wike should stop dabbling in issues that will not promote the course of governance. States are moving away from wasteful spending already. We know the majority in rivers claim to be Christians but that does not mean they own the state more than asari dokubo and his converts. The governor is not a religious leader as such he should refrain from making such statements.
Why not channel the money he intends to spend on this wasteful venture to paying the fees of the rivers state students stranded abroad due to his scrapping of RSSDA.

Leave trash for RIWAMA.

Good you see what mean. Before and after independence we had real diversified federalism. Designed by colonial master in collaboration with our pioneer leaders. Taking the vastness of our resources and diversity of our people into considerations.
But the military dictator in 1966 created this useless unitary system with fiat decree promulgation. To give themselves absolutel power. Prior to that point in 1966,
All regions controlled all their resources and paid taxes and royalties to federal government. Western region substained themselves mostly with cash crops like cocoa, rubber, timber and farmings. Eastern region also had rubber, palm produces, minerals like coal in Enugu and udi hill, etc and farmings. Northern region had their groundnut pyramids, cattles raring, other farms produce and Tin ore deposit in jos.
Later when Mid-West region was created in 1963
they had palm oil, timber AT&P(AfricaTimber&plywood),
Latex rubber, some cocoa, fishing, canoes/boats building, and a little fossel oil that was strucked in 1956 in Oliberi in the then delta province of Mid-West now Bayelsa.Other minerals, and general farmings All regions were doing well paying taxes to substain the central government.
No regions were dependending on others. Only federal government was depending on the regions.
The stupid thieving military idiots came turned everything around. Developed the national cake concept and made themselves the guidance of the cake. Turned the States to be dependending (beggars) from federal government. Is absorb. Must go back to the original design for this country to survive, thrive and grow.

I greed to decentralisation.

Rose2014:
See how u rushed to write this epistle once you heard crushing Nigerdelta militants
But if it's about Fulani herdsmen now, ur phone keyboard will stop working or u'll start asking silly questions




Why won't it be very exciting for u when your lazy ass depends on the oil from the region

Agreed the response was slow in coming but herdsmen and pipeline vandalism are not same thing. The former is a barbaric attack by senseless herdsmen on their host. After the attack, the community will pick up their broken pieces, rekindle hope, reclaim and reuse their land. The later in this case is a self inflicted injury on the community and the environment.
The Niger delta scenario is like a man burning down his house to force a tenant out.
Buhari's order to apprehend the herdsmen may have been delayed but it was not late considering the time the statement was released. As for the vandals, they have committed economic sabotage. The govts responded appropriately.

Silly question.

Sunofgod:
Suspended.....until the price of oyel rises.
Increased state allocations in order for salaries to be paid is better for the economy right now.
Even Buhari knows that an 80 Billion project with the like of 'Amaechi' running it are a big no go!

In contrast the present gov should continue with that project. The monorail is not an Amaechi project rather a rivers project. The present gov should explore ppp. Abandoning the project to paint the initiator black is not the way to go.

vani86:
Your reply just indicated how shallow and naive you are.

How can you date a girl from when she was 24 to 30, got her prego 4 times and have her abort them all for you to dump her and engage a 22 abi 23 year old months later.


Dude that guy is evil, and very wrong. Imagine if she was your sister. Will you say the same thing.

A neighbour dated his ex for 16 yrs but their marriage ddnt last 18months. A friend dated his ex for 10yrs but eventually ended up not marrying her. My point is this dating thing is a game. Marriage these days does not guarantee ones security. For me,what matters in the end is personal happiness. The lady should just move on and forget about spilt milk. We have seen marriages end in the most bizzaar ways. If the guy had gone ahead with the marriage out of pity, the marriage would have been a sour story.

ridwanayo:
Nigger where did I ue abusice words agaisnt u,well igbo's are my brother but u called me an igbo which is nt bad,but that has been u people antic thinkin anybody who criticize baba is an igbo guy.how long did it take baba to issue statement on the fulani mayhem,ansa with links please
The op said gej didn't condem niger/delta militants,need I remind that gej is now a private citizen like me nd u,he has right to condemn nd nt condemn,why can't the op criticize sambo,or othrt nothern past leader for nt condemning fulani murderers,
Wasn't it buhari that once said an attack on boko haram is an attack on notherners,damn u guys hypocrisy stink.please don't quote me again,or ill lose my temper or you

Pls go and play with your mates. You are too shallow and ignorant to engage in a meaningful discussion.

ridwanayo:
Nd about that name its ridwan ayobami - ridwan-ayo,ur obsession with igbo's would kill u,am sure u are an hausa

You are very shallow. You run from end to end instead pushing forward a superior argument. I shouldn't dignify you with further response. Shallom.

rexzqcom:
Even if all you enumerated are true, it pale in magnitude compare to current system where all are in one basket. There will be no gazillion for dishonest and corrupt leaders to take huge slices of the cake. There will be more units of smaller cakes to guard. Putting all cakes in one basket is a no brainer. Let each group grow their cakes and manage them with overarching federal regulations and supervisions. 56 years of doing the same thing with failures is enough to try alternative.
Especially when that alternative was what our pioneers and colonial designed at independence due to the diversity of the country.

Your point is valid. I agree with you to the extent that we have done this for ages and its not working. Honestly this system of govt, which is peculiar to Nigeria alone, serve just a few powerful pple. You have a point bro.

ridwanayo:
Nigger those my name sounds like igbo to you,am a yoruba from ogun state,why do u guys think everybody who criticize bubu is igbo,last time I check bubu only had 65% vote in south west,am nt insulting u but stop being myopic nd obsessed with igbo,we yoruna's are better tribe than them aint we.
atleast the commitional has being sacked,nd one of d suspecr has been arrested,how long did it take bubu to speak against the fulani menace,if gej took that long am sure u apc would av called for his head,we are opppsition so let us do our job




Peace bro

This may be the last time I swill respond to you if you continue to use abusive words.
If I call an igbo man your brother what is wrong in that. Must you have a biological link to be a brother? as for you almighty name, there is (ridw) anayo in it.
You were busy typing rubbish you forgot to make any sense. From my very first post I blasted buhari for not addressing the issue on time. But his late address does not take away the fact that security operatives in enugu state messed up. They failed to act on time and decisively too. I expect you to address the reason why they failed and not blame buhari for not averting the massacre. You can blame buhari for not speaking up on time but will you blame for

ridwanayo:
Ever since he gave em security to haunt the herdsmen,how many has been arrested,swallow ur phone nd stop talking trash,nd don't say those 92 they arrest in abj,cause last time I check the soilders nd police has issue over them

How many did the commissioner of police arrest? An igbo commissioner allowed the fulani herdsmen free access yet you see nothing wrong in that, You will rather blame buhari. I am begining to feel that you guys have an agenda that's was why you allowed the massacre. Your agenda is to blame buhari for everything even if it meant abandoning you duty as a commissioner of police. this callous massacre would have been prevented a week earlier if the commissioner of police acted on Intel's at his disposal. Thank goodness the commissioner of police was not an Hausa or Yoruba person. If that were the case, hmmmmmmmmmmmm, one can only imagin what the headline will read.

Pls quote me intelligently. Back you claims with facts and not wide speculations.

Nigeria problem is not leadership.
Problem is the ugly and nasty foundational structure.
Unitary system sucks. Creates inefficiency, laziness and dependency. Decentralisation is the key for all the engines of the system to work at the same time.
Those who have been getting by on dependending on others, are afraid to stand on their own two feet.

In theory yes. But the drivers of the project are same pple looting our common patrimony today. Taking charge of all your resources does not guarantee uprightness. Even with the paltry 13% coupled with IGR, we should see visible development by now. Our pro Lem as a pple is our attitude and not the system of govt persay. Decentralisation will not stop a rougue civil servant from plying his trade. It will not stop a politician from stealing or a policeman from collecting bribe. Decentralisation cannot reduce the greed and selfishness of the local govt chair. I do not see it killing mutual suspicion either. The Abia man will still see the anambra man as non indegene. It will not stop the ijaw man from beefing the itsekiri man and vise versa.
Our problem is both leadership and followership. What we need is change of attitude, value system and mutual respect.

emmasege:
What makes you think they will listen to a man who chose to ignore their warning that he's not welcome back in the region until 2019? You think they'll listen to a man that had the federal might to annul a "jegalised" (rigged ) election, but yet went ahead to congratulate the winner of the most scientifically rigged election in Nigeria? If I were GEJ, I'll hold my peace and let Buhari dance to his own music, so they don't vent their anger on me.

He can't do much in this circumstance realy, because from my point of view I see the hand of Esau but I hear the voice of Jacob. The vibes from the drum is driving the militants crazy on the dance floor. It a matter of time the drummers face will be unveiled. This particular beat has become familiar lately. We are watching.

ridwanayo:
Bubu has nt condemn fulani herdsmen:e even said it that why are u people killin my people once
Again,an attack on boko haram is an attack on the north,so go carry ur hypocrisy commot for here

You lie like a wicked witch. Funny enough many pple will take what you wrote for truth.
On the boko haram and blood and baboon story a certain Reuben Abati, who was in the service of a certain Goodluck Jonathan, asked buhari to tamper justice with Mercy for the lies he told against him. Jonathan even sent a high powered delegation to beg buhari to drop that case. Buhari did. That was why vociferous ffk ddnt use those lines against buhari during the campaigns. It was a bad lie they couldn't defend.

His stand on the fulani herdsmen is know to All. The only grey area is that he ddnt address the issue on time.
He has giving the security agencies order to reign on the rampaging herdsmen.

#NIGERDELTAMILITANTS ...Every time a Crude Flow Station is Destroyed by Militants in the Niger Delta, The Environment is Damaged; Our Land is Polluted and Our Communities are subjected to more hardships...Let the Bombing Continue, who will lose?...The Government of PMB is dragging the Nigerian Economy away from Crude Oil; Lagos State has Joined the League of Oil Producing States and the Northern Part of Nigeria whose Reserves have been cynically suppressed over the years will begin production within the next months to two years. With time, We from the Niger Delta would have destroyed our Lands so much that future generation will curse us their Fathers and Mothers for killing their dreams. Let the Stupidity Continue my People...Don't stop the blowing up of pipelines.
Everyone of us thinks that a Blown Pipeline is an attack on PMB and His Government of Change...Insanity on display I must say. Kano and Lagos are Leading the way in Tomatoes Paste Production and Tomatoes is now scarce right? The Northern Landmass alone is about 4 times the entire Landmass of the SS and the SE; Agriculture will revolutionize the North within the next decade...We from the Niger Delta will use our Oil to soak Garri and we think we are punishing Nigeria? Think Again, but continue.
I have been reliably informed, that the More Pipeline we blow-up, the more the Resolve of this President to get the Nigerian Economy off oil...The More the Presidency blocks loopholes; The More the desire for alternative Revenue; The More the Nigerian People get pissed off by our Stupidity. The Future is Lost to the Greedy, Selfish Demons of Today. Blow Pipelines if you can, Nigeria is moving on. We have a President who is capable of making the hard decisions and willing to firmly sustain those hard choices. Blow Pipelines abeg. Let Nigeria Suffer and Let our land be wasted. continue killing your own future by your own hands.
WEEP NOT FOR THE NIGER DELTA!!!
OUR ENEMIES ARE WITHIN!!!

Comrade Nureen Suleiman

Even ogoni land is not spared in this sabotage game. That we decide to let sleeping dog lie does not mean we do not know the roles our pple played to destroy the environment in ogoniland. But say, how many communities will get the ogoni judgement in future.

kenonze:
Self inflicted pains.

Niger Deltans need to wake up.

There are after the wrong people.
They should go after the leaders (past and present) Who failed to develop their region. DICKSON is yet to pay January salary, many LGAs are owe for 13months counting. Meanwhile he is busy junketing in Florida

For them, the zoo must fall. Then I ask , who will lead the new "heaven"? Instead of holding the leaders accountable they are busy shouting bring down Nigeria. How I wish this country can disintegrate so that some blind folks will know that the difference between 'green eagles and supper eagles' is in the name.

whirlwind7:
The reason for such impunity is that we have such a weak ass, almost nonexistent judiciary.

If these policemen know they could be sued for damages, and the sentence will get enforced in a matter of days, they wouldn't be such assholes.
Imagine asking the woman to pay them for meting such undignified treatment to her. Pay for what, exactly?

You nailed it there.

Beremx:
The fool was born and raised in Enugu yet he has the mind to murder his hosts.

Wicked!

Honestly. Very wicked.

Their leaders must work on them else they will reap 3folds what they have planted. Even if their pple were killed that does not give them the right to attack a whole community. These guys are Realy backward in their reasoning. So if a fulani man puts himself in harm's way, he should be pampered because "an injury to one is injury to all". Useless pple. For the first time I feel Realy peeved since this issue came to light. I had tilted towards the other possibilities.

modath:
This is deliberate sabotage, it is not about pressing home any particular demand, we are hearing the voice of Jacob but it has Esau's hands, feet and whole body all over this..

Nuff said.

On point. This admin is barely 1yr they have suddenly found their freedom fighter cloaks.

The funny and stupid part is the self inflicted environmental degradation. Here in the Niger delta the actions of blue diesel mongers have turned the environment into a stream of hydrocarbon. Some pple will argue that the IOCs contributed too. True. But we can always get them to do clean up every now and then. Take ogoni for instance, the clean up will take about 25 years of comprehensive remediation to achieve a clean environment according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Ogoni is just one of many who managed to see their case thru coupled with the fact that they gained global appeal after the execution of Ken saro wiwa. How many of the Niger delta communities will be as lucky, especially against the backdrop that some spill are pure act of sabotage.

We know when weapons were brought in befor the last general elections. See know those guiding the water ways on behalf of govt. We still remember how our military was reduced mere errand boys in the Niger delta. We have knowledge of those behind this acts of sabotage. We know the despiradoes whose body crave for power but their hearts couldn't muster the momentum to walk their dangerous ambitions thru.
Now they have resorted to pulling down the roof. but they have forgotten that they love in glass houses.

paschu:
He gave them pipelines survilence contract - and we all had peace, and oil business soared. But fast forward to 2016, some peace-hating-jerk-heads canceled the survilence contracts without notice - even though there was no better alternative. Now the cost of their survilence is proving to be way cheaper compared to the cost of the ongoing anarchy.

Wisdom, not power, is the first step to effective leadership

Handing over the security of a state to a few individuals cannot equate for wisdom bro. Empowering a few individuals at the detriment of the state is not wisdom. Infact the actions of that govt is what has giving them this false feeling of invisibility. Jonathans action can never pass for wisdom. You do not address an issue by making giants out of it, especially when you are an ijaw man. The best sway to go was to addrrs s the root causes of the problem.
As for Tom polo and his gang, they are just criminal business men fighting for their pockets.
I pity the communities shielding these guys.

omenka:
Op, na so EFCC officials dey dress to you?? Those are regular policemen.

Don't mind that dumb adeyanju. Trying to show off his Mercedes dash.

obailala:
They should keep bombing... I think this is just a case of some criminal splinter group being angry that while they slept, the Tompolos and Boyloafs and Asaris of this world were handsomely rewarded after engaging in gra gra.

Don't be surprised that this is their brain child. Look at itfrom this angle.
Tom polo is wanted for fraud.
Amnesty is coming to an end
Asari has suddenly gone dumb since Jonathan left. He can't face an open war with the government.
Tom polo has tried frantically to dissociate himself from the NDA even when no one asked him.

This whole thing looks like something planned even bfor Jonathan left. Information about this attack surfaced just bfor the general elections on code.

This is Tom polo and his gang of bandits trying their chicken might. I pity you guys. Why start a at you know you will definitely be defeated. All this is to force the hands of govt backwards. Wrong move bro. Crippling activities and polluting the land shows how stupid the likes of Tom polo can be.
I am waiting for the troll that will cry witch hunt when the Nigerian state fights back.

It's a matter of time these criminal elements will be smoked out of their holes. Where were they when Jonathan held sway. What happened to their voice when Jonathan organised a conference. What happened to their pen when ekweremadu was collecting memoranda for constitution review.

NDA is a case of a lizard seeing himself a crocodile.

kYjelly2:
Left no stone unturned u say

Someone that can't even find the stones

Wasn't it buhari that told a foreign reporter that she knew more about the budget than he did Yet here you are talking about "no stone unturned".

Y'all are funny man!

The president only cracked a joke with the lady.

What is wrong with leaking the letter. He did what he had to do. We should be thanking Amaechi for being bold. Too many post election traumatised waillers here. He is a whistle blower who should be celebrated.
The blame should go to the treasury thieves instead.

EVILFOREST:
So signing of NATIONAL BUDGET is now a NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT.

He should get out and leave us for FRANCE, nonsense.
He shouldn't bother coming back.

This is an historic event. The brand new budget is worth the wait. For the first time in Nigeria a president will look the legislators in the face and call their bluff. For the first time in our history, ministers are made to take ownership of their budgets. For the first time in our history, MDAs disowned budgetary allocations. For the first time in our history, we can see a clear view of the policy direction of the govt.
The right thing has been done and it is worth celebrating.
