See the kind of people ngige associates with.
Anambra peeps shine una eyes. Ngige is a good man, no doubt, but he's going to bring a whole lot of Problem for that state with the kind of people he associates with.
vote by character, associations and worth

Symphony007: you see why i said you should keep off this debate because the cracks in your understanding of it will become glaring.

Firstly, ameachi has not abandoned his responsibilities as governor despite all he is going through. I was surprised to see him lastv week in old port harcourt township inspectng the new intergrated cultural center under construction and some roads, what about your president who went nigerian children are languishing at home, he is busy calming nerves in his party so he can be president again 2015. How many meeting has he held with ASUU? How many meetings has he held with PDP governor, party leaders, etc..get the figures and know where his priorities lie.

Secondly the head of police in rivers state and every state is a commissioner, not DPO, and the reason he is disrespecting the governor is because he is a tool of the president. Even the strongest jonathan supporter here can attest to that fact.

Mtcheww. Rubbish.

Anyone that the thug parading as a governor fights is immediately named "GEJ's tool". SMH. Tell Amaechi to look deep inside himself and ask himself why he's constantly in the news for thug-like behavior; ask himself why he is constantly fighting not 1 person but multiple people. Why his popularity in his region is reducing as the day goes by. Rather than you all to accept his shameless behavior and advice him accordingly, you all resort to the usual blame GEJ tatics.

Like I said earlier, go back to that man and inform him that he is a governor, not some street thug.

boladez: What has NGO done to better your life? Please say specifics, or if the question is above you , throw tantrums and leave the thread.

I don't live in Nigeria so anything political about the nation does not impact me but NOI have contributed to the development of my state. Thanks to her, the nation you live in paid off most of its debt. It was she that suggested to publish each state's monthly financial allocation from the federal government in an effort to increase transparency of government. It was she that suggested to remove the fuel subsidy scam that you all threw a temper tantrum over until some Hausa guy gave one a breakdown of how beneficial the suggestion was. She equally suggested a budget that would improve the unemployment rate of your nation.

Until Amaechi and his corrupt governors can achieve half of the ish this woman has done and helped half of the people and the nation this woman have helped, then they have the right to attack her. Until then he and his 13 corrupt governors should sit down and focus on their work. They are governors, not thugs.

Symphony007: i suggest you continue keeping quiet because your voice has no effect whatsoever on this debate, so save us the rancour.

What debate? A useless man that refuses to focus on his job. The only thing he has been doing so far is running around fighting every politician he can think of like an agbero. Mtcheww. The behavior of that man is nothing but a disgrace and gradually his political career is going down the drain because of it. He is hated in his own region, hated in his own state (excluding his people), even the DPO of his own state had the balls to disrespect him (the governor of the state) and instead of the 1diot to try and save the little degree of strength he has in his political career, all his been doing is creating more problem for himself. Thank you but I rather not debate the act of a shameless man.

I've kept quiet in the whole bash amaechi saga but Amaechi if that your disgraceful hand touches NOI, your political downfall would be worse than it is now.
Touch NOI. Useless man. Traitor. Nkita.

RMD et tu?
SMH!!!!! SMH

I love how peaceful Abians accepted Yoruba appointing a monarch for themselves in their state. If it was the other way around, na wahalla we go hear. "This is our land. Ibos are imposing themselves in our land". Most accommodating indeed.

Prof. Ogogoro:
Like I told ur Co-liar show me where I claimed to be from the SW.

Shamefully the only post you came up with was one where I said DELSU lecturers are being picked by kidnappers like "Point & Kill" catfish. Can you deny that?? Or are you not aware of the face-off between Delsu ASUU and the CP over the CP's inability to secure the release of one of their kidnapped member?? Do you even know what's happening in Delta??

PDP is a failure as far as Delta State is concerned so trying APC is a very good idea....

Dude you are not from Delta. It's like me claiming SW. if i ask you what part of Delta, the next you'll claim is iteskiri no? you're just another jason and Garri. Be proud of your origin. Btw: you do not need to claim SW, your posts speaks for itself.

As I said before APC should keep away from delta. They can stay in your region or rather the region you are from but claiming you are not from. Shikena

atlwireles: You are now from delta No more from Osun state Deltans know themselves, you are not one.

He's from osun state? hmm well I know he's not from delta, this one I know for sure.
IDK why they do ish like that. we had jason, then garri, etc. It's f2king ridiculous
Sometimes I wonder if they don't realize actions reveals everything about oneself. SMH. Online forums can hide people but what a person address speaks

dayokanu: You claim Delta ha suffered in the hands of PDP yet tells APC to stay away.

Isnt that confusion

APC=PDP

old wine in new bottle. no difference

Prof. Ogogoro:
1. Learn to speak for yourself and not for Deltans. You're not more Deltan than myself.

2. You contradicted yourself by claiming that terrible politicians impoverished Delta and not Parties. Why then are you focused on APC and not the Politician(s) they're presenting. If as you claim there are some good governors in PDP can't you say same for APC even if you may not like some of their governors??

3. You accusations against the APC is baseless and laughable. I hereby challenge you to compare the following states where APC dislodged the PDP and tell me if the people didn't benefit from voting out PDP

A. PDP's Lucky Igbinedion vs APC's Oshiomole
B. PDP's Ohiakim vs APC's Rochas
C. PDP's Oyinlola vs APC's Aregbesola
D. PDP's Akala vs APC's Ajimobi
E. PDP's Daniel vs APC's Amosun
F. PDP's Fayose vs APC's Fayemi

This is one of the reason I don't listen to yoruba people on this forum. Can't you people, for once, stop fabricating things and laying claim of places you are not part of. WTF is wrong with you people. Dude a glance through your past post reveals your ethnicity and region. Be proud of where you are from.
This reply of yours when a member compared delta governor to oshimole reveals your origin as well
[quote]Do you mind that shameless PDP LIAR..

Same Delta where DELSU lecturers are being picked by kidnappers like "Point and Kill" Catfish...[\quote]
https://www.nairaland.com/1436818/confused-governor-oshiomhole-looks-kidnappers/1#18083091

on that note, everything else is BS to me. Keep APC at SW, Imo state and edo state, no wahalla. Leave delta out of it. Delta has suffered enough. We don't want una in the state. APC is a snake. Building small roads and charge billions for it, putting pay tolls on that bridge, road, etc is not what delta wants. Delta wants change, we want development, we want a governor that'll actually give a crap about the people and not someone who cares how he looks in the media or desperation to take over the FG power. We do not want someone that will drop crumps on our feet and take a whole chunk for himself and the oga of his political party. Una are happy with the media propaganda, the rest of us see through it. You can compare and contrast as much as you want, I don't care. APC stay the hell away from delta. I rather not have PDP nor APC in that state. Thank you.

I've seen better looking igbo girls but ezinne is attractive. this is why I'll marry an igbo girl. I love my girl , I love her with all my heart but na igbo gal I fit join hips with.

Prof. Ogogoro:
... And PDP that has impoverished Deltans for over 14years should Please Please Please stay...

Terrible politicians improvised Delta, not political parties. Enugu, Akwa ibom, etc have performing politicians from PDP.
APC, from everything I've seen, is no different from PDP. If APC gets a hold of delta they'll milk the state completely dry. They would put delta in an alarming debts. The poor would suffer alot worse than they are now. Everything would increase by tens fold(taxes, school fees, etc). The few jobs delta indigienous can get would be stolen from us. yes, biko APC stay away. Delta has gone through alot of mess, we've suffered enough and we don't need more suffering. Thank you

APC please please please stay away from Delta.

Chima_Adeoye: C'mon Shatap! You Yoruba imposter!
You hate Ijaw so much,yet you have the nerve to use a NL ID called Ijaw citizen! You perhaps don't know that Port Harcourt is Ikwerre land. Ikwerre must be Yoruba in your demented mind.

He thinks we don't know what his original ID is. LMFAO

@topic
The two region that's benefitting the most from Nigeria aka north/SW. North can survive if they focus on the agricultural of their newly formed nation. SW, I don't see them surviving without FG or oil from ND

who cares. I'm all for division. whatever is threatening the unity of Nigeria is a God sent.

interesting

I hope this topic won't be deleted by well you know.
Adelale and co, if i.was you, I'll save the data. #just saying
