Can this project become the symbol of Nigeria's rise to become the power house of commerce, trade and investment in the 21st century? How I wish a visionary leader would also see such a project being put in place in Onitsha!

UYCO: Garri x7, I return that curse to you. Are you angry that the governor has transformed Delta State beyond the imagination of the good governance team?

'Delta boys' explores the untold stories of the Niger Delta militancy – rebels who band together in the face of corrupt government oppression in this oil-rich region of Nigeria – following the lives of two militants: Ateke Tom, the "Godfather" of the Niger Delta Vigilante Force, and Chima, a 21-year-old who left home to join the fight.

The film also documents life in a tiny fishing village caught in the crossfire of the conflict. Mama, a 22-year-old, struggles to give birth to her first child with no access to modern medical care, while raids are launched from a militant camp across the river. The personal stories of Chima, Ateke, and Mama reflect a broader global struggle between entrenched power and corporate interests and an underserved population. Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of oil to the United States. Yet, despite this natural wealth, the majority of Niger Deltans live in poverty.

Ateke's militants, along with other groups, have called for a greater distribution of wealth and jobs. When their requests have been ignored, they've attacked oil installations and pipelines, kidnapped foreigners, and made the entire Delta a no-go-zone. But many feel that while the Niger Delta struggle is legitimate, the militants' motives are not so pure.

You can watch the documentary currently being aired on satellite, terrestrial, and on internet here >>> http://rt.com/shows/documentary/delta-boys-niger-rebel-152/

It is shocking what you will get to know watching this documentary! I do not know when they filmed it but it is obvious this was during the time the Militancy was really hot - though it is still hot.

Countryman93: I must confess that this a modest way to be honest. Gov. Uduaghan has said it all. Nigerians please compare this detailed statement with the blatant lies Oshiomole released earlier and tell me which one you believe.

Having the gift of eloquence does not give you the qualifications to play with the psyche of unsuspecting Nigerians(though some know the truth but decide to look the other way). Always use you God given gift for the growth and development of mankind. Candid advise to Adams.

Can you provide us with the document signed by Oshiomhole on behalf of Edo State agreeing to this stupidity in the name of good governance? Who are you showing good governance to? Is it Nigerians that are still wallowing in abject poverty in their millions or the foreigners who have little regard for anyone who dare to say I am a Nigerian? Nonsense..

kolamilan: which Arsenal ? You way you never think of how to qualify from round 16 you dey talk of semi final.

Dey there, by the time him happen.. You go dey form gooner4life

kolamilan: which Arsenal ?

Take time oh

thegoodjoehunt:
That was why attacking aimlessly today was useless. Barca was trying to force a space and make a chance, insteead of passing and waiting for Milan to lose shape. That would have been a better approach.

Isn't that the issue with Italian clubs in that they do not bulk in their back four quite easily. Honestly, I didn't see how Milan was going to score in that match but when I saw how they were closing out the final ball of BARCA, I knew it would be a tough game for them. BARCA hope will be to play their fast pack football that will take the shape out of MILAN very quickly..

JayKayMaybachz: YOU SURE SAY NA HISTORY YOUR PAPA SEND YOU SO MAKE YOU CO READ FOR SCHOOL HMMMM YOU DON FVCK UPP WELLAA CUX SAY THAT YOUR HISTORY NO GEH WEIGHT AT ALL ...

Bros.. How much you bet for pool for that match ..Chei.. You dey vex oh..

CFCfan: In 2003, Man United needed to score 2 goals to have any hope of advancing to the semi-finals. That's why Ronaldo (Brazilian) had the space and time to score a hat-trick. This time around, Man United will play a compact game- possibly line up in a 4-5-1 formation..

You really think ManU can stand the heat of Real attack at oldtraford when Real knows there's nothing to loose other than close out the away goal within the first 20mins and then enjoy football proper?

thegoodjoehunt:
I actually think the trying to attack more philosophy Barca is adopting is what is killing them. They should stick to their possession football and try to only attack when there is a clear chance.

Barca could easily have kept the ball and walk away with a draw today.

I am sorry with Italian clubs, ball possession hardly work with them. Italians defend like rocks and you end up getting frustrated with your ball possession especially when their concentration is very high as Milans own was tonight....

Debroslink: THE LAST TIME MAN UTD HOSTED MADRID @ OLD TRAFFORD IN CL 2003, A CERTAIN RONALDO DE LIMA SCORED A HATTRICK IN THAT MATCH. I SEE HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF ON MARCH 5 WITH ANOTHER RONALDO DOING SAME.

CFCfan: Barcelona needs better defensive fullbacks. Alves was poor defensively in this match.

Barca is in decline as you would expect of every club ..... Cyclic nature.. Yes

Bros..do as me take show strong face for work today... No body free ask me anything about Arsenal match ...Kpele....Barca to the dogs ...d

Gbawe: OK Jarus. I will summarise, edit and send you a finished version you can amend as appropriate.

I am totally with you regarding what you said in your first post here regarding how you are not as passionate about 2015 as you were 2011. I am the same. It is disappointing to note what is needed with clarity yet be frustrated by how the sentimental and biased nature of Nigerians now work to keep us in the conditions we want to escape.

If the APC get it wrong and the PDP succeed in delivering GEJ or another gradualist in 2015, then I am done with Nigerian politics. I certainly won't remain on this forum taking insults from bigots, yobs, uncouth louts and clannish children who have no opinion of their own and can never suggest solutions. For me, It is one final push to see if Nigeria can be rescued. There is more to be enjoyed in life than reading nauseating garbage from those one would ordinarily have no inclination to associate with in real life merely because of the notion of "a better nation".

Why are you guys getting discouraged? This what PDP wants, to frustrate those who will work to bring in good governance so that they are left with those who will live at their mercy. I can tell you that there are many of us in the diaspora who are eager to pour funds into the campaign of the formidable candidates the opposition will bring forward so that the foot soldiers can do their work more effectively this time around unlike what happened in 2011.
