If you're not from Delta state then stop talking nonsense

I don't need to be from Delta. A failure is obvious for everyone to see. What are the indices you would want to use in your measurement? Despite Ibori being a failure, many of us will argue he was probably the best Delta has had so far. Okowa and Uduaghan have underperformed. I wonder why medical doctors like Peter Odili, Emmanuel Uduaghan and Senator Okowa wouldn't sympathise with their people and make life much easier.

We are really rich o but bad leadership is our bane ..

Nigeria is poor, a combination of her constitution and leadership has made her remain poor.

Nwanyiogwashi:
OK sir but I'm saying the fact

Ibori, Uduaghan and Okowa are failures. Just like their Rivers counterparts, Odili, Amaechi and Wike.

We should stop forcing round pegs in square holes.

Free and fair elections should be encouraged in Nigeria. Let the best and brightest take charge.

Why didn't Wine follow through with his prosecution?

The President's body language is enough to put him in his place.

Which yeye 'body language '? Probably body odour. Since 2015 when has that his infamous body odour helped?

See Take Home Pay Of A Professor After IPPIS

These people have made up their minds to completely destroy the public university system.

Is this what a professors takes home in the universities that their own children do attend?

342k per month (less than $1,000) after about 20 years in service, and so many promotions.

This is just the end of the public university in Nigeria.

Note: 4th column says "gross", and gross means total including all allowances.

That is what you get with over 70 percent loss in value of the Naira in the last 5 years. Most times we address the symptoms instead of the sickness.

Without the right economic and political reforms which includes deregulation of several sectors and fiscal federalism, professionals (including professors) will barely earn a reasonable wage.

Hong Kong and Taiwan want to be independent from China but mainland China won't accept. China is a terrible country

Meanwhile, see how their lawmakers look fit

Hongkong and Taiwan are Chinese.

Is that more terrible in comparison with Nigeria where dozens of ethnic nations with no linguistic or religious affiliation are forced to remain 'one' because of oil revenue?

What is this current craze for cheap Chinese products all about?

As a country will can do better!

Nigeria NEEDS to have a policy of "De-chinization"

AsawanaDgreat:
there are evidences I which saw on other platforms about the news.

Ok ohh!
We we never still see am, if they did their work well, thanks be to God! Bonny has suffered a lot from pirate attacks.

AsawanaDgreat:
Kudos to the gallant soldiers,, I know some hoodlums here will not commend their efforts.

How sure are you that the victims are not innocent people?

What if it is just propaganda?

Until we are sure the Nigerian Army is getting no kudos. The institution is known for abuses across the whole of Ijawland.

valirex:
I agree with you, I have been clamouring for this too but you need to see Igbos marginalizing my people with Yorubas and saying trash about ijaws taking lands from my state which only makes us antagonize them everywhere.

Which state are you from?

They should do what their supporters would love hear! 'Blame Jonathan '.

Bunch of incompetent, hate filled beings.

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with what she said unless there is something else we haven't seen.

Why do Igbo (mostly IPOB) want to impose their ideas on others? It doesn't work that way.

Adonike:
South East Nigeria is not landlocked at all let alone Biafraland..

South east is landlocked! You don't have access to the Atlantic. River Niger doesn't count. Would you say Kaduna is not landlocked because of Kaduna river?

Some of you just support misinformation for ethnic reasons.

UnclePati:
If u get sense u will know that Half the population of delta and rivers state are igbo by tribe language culture and ethnicity.....

In akwa ibom there are igbo villages cut into the state .
Likewise Edo...the igbanke people...u can never take their igboness away from them.

We all in Niger Delta teamed up together under Biafra and fought the bloody war .... We all are one we own biafra

Neither Delta or Rivers has half of their population being Igbo or culturally Igbo by any stretch of the imagination.

Delta is predominantly Urhobo and Rivers is predominantly Ijaw. In both Delta and Rivers, as a block, all those you claim to have some form of affinity with the Igbo come second.

Go to Gomber, they'll tell you a different thing.. Since a Hausa man is your God

You do the same things the Fulani do yet you want to be viewed differently.

There can be nothing ' romantic ' it that video!
It would look like a father feeding his daughter

TheGoodJoe:
Convince with lies. Who did GEJ want in a crucial PDP State,
if not Wike?

Check those who were senators, deputy governor and ministers under GEJ then. Maybe that would give you a clue. If you hope to hear who from me, you would be wasting your time. Wike was not on the agenda until early 2014, even then, it was not a firm thing.

TheGoodJoe:
They wanted him out but failed. It was difficult to just declare state of emergency over nothing. If it was that easy, they would have done it. Keep in mind, hardly a Governor has been just ejected since the democracy era

By the way, the people who wanted GEJ were People loyal to the GEJ/Wike sect.

If you were familiar with the build up, GEJ was not rooting for Wike. Other forces in PDP did, saying those who supported GEJ were part of a Wike sect is just not true. In fact, Wike was not liked by both PDP and APC people. He worked very hard to convince Rivers people.

TheGoodJoe:
What do you think the assault on the State House Assembly was for? It was to throw Amaechi out by crook.

So you truly think Jonathan was behind it?
If Jonathan was , they would get him out. Mind you, Jonathan had powers to declare state of emergency. That would have effectively removed Amaechi. It was not GEJ's style. The people who wanted Amaechi out are known. Some were appointees in Abuja, others were lawmakers in PH and some didn't have any position.

Aka Ibom ayaya!

I like this, this is how it should be.

TheGoodJoe:
Note. Never am I a fan or Wike supporter. I feel he is mismanaging the State. I just hate the false narrative of GEJ as the victim when he was the tyrannical dictator, oppressing Amaechi.

You don't know Amaechi! I am not a fan of Wike. As a Rivers Ijaw I can have every reason to be angry with Jonathan. I am not because I am looking at the bigger picture. A man who could not force his preferred gubernatorial candidate in Rivers state is who you call a tyrant?

If he was a tyrant, Amaechi would have been thrown out of office hook or crook and nothing will happen.

TheGoodJoe:
What matters is that as GEJ became VP, money from the Soku account started moving to Bayelsa State. Wike's voice was never heard condemning the act. Glad that case swung in Rivers favour.

I am indifferent! Mind you, I am Ijaw from Rivers state. Despite all our contribution to Rivers state's economic wellbeing what do Rivers Ijaw get in return?

TheGoodJoe:
Wike happy about court judgement over Soku Oil Wells

---

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has expressed happiness over federal high court judgment, ceding Soku Oil Wells to Rivers State, adding that the State Government would continue to fight and defend the interest of Rivers State in order to promote the welfare of her people.

Addressing journalists on the federal high court judgment which confirmed that Rivers State owns Soku Oil Wells, Governor Wike said it was a known fact that the Soku Oil Wells/Fields belong to the Rivers State, before they were illegally appropriated by the Federal Government for Bayelsa State.

Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday declared, after considering all facts before the court, that the Soku Oil Wells/fields belonged to Rivers State.

Why won't he be happy? So he could build flyover in his LGA and "nothing will happen ".

You guys should leave us abeg!

Is Nigeria that created all these confusion!

Soku oil wells: APC demands apology from Gov. Wike

---

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has charged the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, to apologise publicly to the people of the State and his predecessor, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi, for earlier backing the ceding of Soku oil wells belonging to the State to Bayelsa State by former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan.

According to the statement, “Sadly, Goodluck Jonathan as President at that period and without Exco authorisation, ceded a part of Rivers State, Soku, to his home state of Bayelsa and Wike to exhibit his poor understanding of the plight of Rivers State and her people appreciated Dr. Jonathan for this heinous and evil act by giving him an award during the Rivers State’s 50 years celebration as a State and according to Wike, the award was ‘for Jonathan’s contribution towards the growth and development of Rivers State.

“If Wike is serious in demanding for the receding of these oil wells back to Rivers State, let him, Wike start this by withdrawing the unsolicited and unmerited award given to Dr Jonathan after which, he should formally apologise to God, Amaechi and the people of Rivers State for criminally emasculating them economically by this evil act against the State and humanity for us to take him serious.

It seems you like changing narratives to suit the wrong choices made by GEJ and Wike.

Wrong choices made by Jonathan and Wike in what way?
To the best of my knowledge there was no time Wike supported ceding the wells to Bayelsa. Secondly there is no prove Jonathan used his position to transfer those wells to Bayelsa. It was all noise engineered by Amaechi to cause confusion.
I am glad Rivers Ijaw people are wiser today. They know those who represent their interests. Can you mention one thing Rivers state has done for the people of Soku all these years?

Instead all her money is being spent in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor LGA.

Jonathan may disown it but we have disowned Biafra. That doesn't in any way mean we have embraced Nigeria either.

Niccoloimhotep:
In a sane country, these guys should be nabbed in less than 5 hours. Apart from the camera, their fingerprints are all over the place. Sometimes i wonder why we submit finger prints for bvn and sim pack registration and still cant retrieve prints easily at crime scenes. Everything for this country na failure. Jehovah

Coupled with their DNA. From the look of things at least one of them was wounded .

KINEMATICZ:
Rivers youths are so lazy. Imagine they are struggling for who will collect "marching ground ". These are kinematics brothers. Tufia

Rivers state is multiethnic, if you are sure of what you are saying mention the ethnic group and stop making sweeping statements.

Badestman:
Igbo is Igbo, can't you read?

Nyamiri is Yeruba and Nigerdelta

Nyamiri has ALWAYS been Igbo, go to Kano and tell them it is not so.

Badestman:
Amechi can never be igbo. He is afonja mixed with nyamiri

Nyamiri is Igbo, Igbo is Nyamiri and Amaechi is Igbo. You can sue Amaechi to court if you don't like it.

Yoruba amaka!
