sageb:
my man, i remember vividly all these, you forget to add the Soku wells conflict.

Soko oil well was NEVER an issue, it was all propaganda. The people in Soku are Ijaw, GEJ is Ijaw, the Bayelsa governor is/was Ijaw. Amaechi's primary interest in Soku was money and not the wellbeing of Soku people. As a Rivers Ijaw man I was in support of Soku remaining in Rivers state. The case started during the tenure of late DSP Alamieyeseigha and Peter Odili. Amaechi lied when he claimed Jonathan tried to take the wells for Bayelsa. It was a struggle between Amaechi and his Bayelsa counterpart. Both wanted a greater allocation. I doubt any of them would have benefited the people of Soku.

MelesZenawi:
He said not that it is.

Try and differentiate politics from reality.

Moreover you need to take my advice as the standard as what should be.

There is NOTHING like differentiating politics from reality. His first and last names are Igbo, he said he is Igbo. We should respect that.

MelesZenawi:
It seems you are another troublemaker on nairaland that doesn't want to abide by simple instructions and rule.

I wonder what is hard is doing as advised.

Why should I take your advice? Amaechi said he is Igbo and I will stand on what he said.

MelesZenawi:
Just stop spreading the unverifiable info for now.

You can say Amaechi is Ikwerre or a Rivers man..

That's is okay and more perfect.

No, I won't! He said he is Igbo. I won't deny him of his Igbo heritage.

MelesZenawi:
No he is not.

He is Ikwerre.

Stop spreading fake news.

He said he is Igbo. This is not fake news.
Either the Ikwerre are Igbo or he is an Igbo who happens to be Ikwerre. Whatever angle you choose to see it , Amaechi said he is Igbo.

TheGoodJoe:
That is a lie. Amaechi was suspended from the part for about a year or two before deciding to leave to save his political career. Do not change the narrative.

Amaechi was betrayed by GEJ, despite Amaechi being one of the best performing politicians in the History of the region. An action which turned out a political suicide by GEJ.

Amaechi carried out anti party activities, it was obvious for everyone to see. The truth is, if Jonathan had the mindset of a typical Nigerian politician, there was NO WAY he would have 'lost' 2015. People would have died, perhaps even Amaechi. We thank God he was not like that, I hope Nigerian politicians change their negative attributes for good.

TheGoodJoe:
Apart from lies, how did anyone know Amaechi was promised VP slot, when Amaechi himself knew it was never a possibility?

The problem was that GEJ was too dumb to tell a lie from the truth. As soon as they lied to him that the best performing Governor, maybe the best in the History of Nigeria was promised his position, he stupidly reacted and started fighting one of the strongest politicians in the Niger Delta. GEJ drove Amaechi from PDP. Not the other way around.

Get your facts right.

Amaechi decided to leave PDP. Short and simple!

TheGoodJoe:
I am resident. Who promised Amaechi vice presidential slot? That is not true. Amaechi was not in the political picture until he was suspended by GEJ. He was a core PDP man.

People lied to GEJ against Amaechi and the man waged a war against Amaechi based on rumours. Amaechi was strong in the camp of PDP. His decamping to APC was leaving the ruling party.

Apart from the rumours, Amaechi had not done anything to GEJ before GEJ started fighting Amaechi. So tell me, who betrayed who?

Probably I are not conversant with the politics or you are biased. Amaechi 's war with GEJ even started before Jonathan became acting president!

Amaechi, Sylva and Uduaghan all worked against GEJ before he became acting president. Uduaghan was ready to reconcile, the rest were not.

The truth is, whatever has happened has happened and it will define Bayelsa/Rivers politics in many years to come.

Many who support Wike today do not support him because they like him, they take offence in Amaechi's actions. In fact, prior to Amaechi's betrayal, barely anyone disliked him in Rivers state. He was forgiven for the role he played in Odili's 8 years of waste, waste in all ramifications.

Coldie:
Is chibuike Amaechi an Igbo man?

Yes, he said he is.

TheGoodJoe:
It is the other way around. GEJ used his office to influence Amaechi losing his role as head if Governor's forum. GEJ used his influence and got Amaechi suspended from PDP. GEJ used his influence to make it hard for Amaechi to continue delivering as a Governor, including using military.

Amaechi had to leave to APC to save his political career. Even though GEJ betrayed Amaechi, everyone turned on Amaechi for betraying. I ask, who betrayed who?

You are distorting history! It was Amaechi who picked up a fight with GEJ because people like Tinubu promised him the presidency or vice presidential slot.

Most of you are not from Rivers or were not resident when this happened.

You are nothing but a brain dead brainwashed DOTARD. You have been brainwashed to the extent that you drink up any trash thrown at you. You lack the simplest of capacity to decipher complex issues yourself.
Just listen to the trash you posted, blaming everyone but the incompetent Jonathan govt for fuel lines and borrowing money just to pay salaries.
It's buffoons like you that will be wailing and crying that Buhari wants to borrow to build you bridges and rail line but it was ok for Jonathan to borrow just to pay SALARIES.

Hey dumd dumb, my best suggestion for you is to head to the Lagos Lagoon and put yourself out of your miserable existence. Pls do us all that favor.


STFU and GET LOST.

It is you and your type that will perish in Lagos lagoon!

I am a child of God, I don't suffer, my life is not miserable, was not miserable and can NEVER be miserable.

Your suggestion just tells everyone the kind of low life you are, if not for reforms the PDP embarked on in the 16 years they were in charge, your type will NEVER have access to cyberspace, let alone be rude to me.

Osidazz19:
The sad thing is that unfortunately we have too many delusional retarded brainwashed idiotic monkeys like you on social media posting trash.
In 2015 before Jonathan handed over to Buhari, there were fuel lines all over the country, States were unable to pay salaries, Jonathan and Nwela both have stated that they had to borrow money to pay salaries towards the end of the administration. Yet, delusional brain dead monkeys like you will come online and be posting rubbish for your fellow brain dead idiots to clap for.
I have included some links for you, that's if you have the capacity to read and comprehend simple articles.
Imagine a govt borrowing money just to pay salaries, not to execute capital projects BUT TO PAY SALARIES. And this idiot calls that a fighter jet economy. Dumb ass monkey.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/05/150506055148505.html

The sad part is that we are forced to share a country with brain dead beings like you!
According to you they borrowed to pay salaries, so?
What difference does that make?

People like the being you want us to believe is a solution, instigated anti subsidy protests, making the country vulnerable.

Ironically, 8 years after, those same brain dead, power hungry beings have promised to remove subsidy.

How about the multiple exchange rates by the Buhari government? Search for oil in Chad basin?

Failure to adhere to rule of law? Etc

I won't be responding to you again, it is obvious you don't come from a place one could call a home.

If you are enjoying Buhari's loot with him, know the blood of millions is on your head and that of your evil principal.

It is 5 years since he took office, till date he has no achievement he could count on.

Osidazz19:
He's asking the govt to takes these measures in 2015 when the govt was barely able to stay afloat and meet its financial obligations. Salaries were not being paid, oil was around 28 dollars a barrel by end of 2016 to 2016.

If you give a broken down car to the best F1 race car driver, there's nothing he can do with it. You cannot give a F1 race car driver like Hamilton a Honda car and expect him to compete with other race car drivers driving Ferrari cars built for racing.

It is just unfortunate that there are many ignorant Nigerians like you! Buhari didn't get a broken down car! He got a fighter jet but when you give a maiguard( gateman) a supersonic fighter jet to pilot he is bound to crash if he manages to figure put how to take off by accident.

Buhari was bound to fail, he lacked knowledge for the task and surrounded himself with equally ignorant folks. A man that failed in 1984/85 can't do better NOW!

Racoon:
Of course this is happening because crude oil is our only source of foreign exchange with our mainly oil dependent mono-economy.

It is happening because stupidity is the only currency in Abuja! Nigeria is not the only oil producing country. All the others have handled their challenges much better.

Davash222:
Agbero said he don't want to be a Governor or Senator...such effrontery!

People like him are governors now!

Make I no mention state before some people ask of my governor.

platido:
Dear Mr. Mike Adenuga


If you can improve in your technology and network band. and also be truthful to we your indigenous citizens, makes your data last, good network anyway you go and be reliable to your megabits..1g is 1g.... please be fast about it so that we can stone this criminals call MTN out of this our country... money they've extort from us is much.

There's nothing they'll do that will please me.

Too late!

MTN is more of a Nigerian company than Adenuga's Glo

oyatz:
Nearness isn't the only consideration when picking a residential place.

What about the amenities, conveniences and ambiance of Port-Harcourt?

That's an illusion! Many of these places are better than PH.

virginchaser:
Umph! Nice advice for newcomers. Do you read news from Eleme of recent and over the years?

So?

Amya:
Are you African? Are Nigerian? If you're, then youre looking down on yourself too. You're not different, you're not better. You're a total and complete dolt like the rest of us.

If being black makes me African I am African.

Well, I don't want to argue on if I am better or not. Even if I was, the rest of the black world weighs people like me down. We are viewed in the same lens until after closer examination.

24SEVEN:
You have stylishly added Ogu name to the port.. I think that is irrelevant. No need to know that.

That is the name of the port.

Like Nigeria, I guess El-Hadji Diouf was talking about potential not the outcome.

Dantedasz:
There is no lockdown of Onne area but people working in Onne Port that live in PH and Obio Akpor local govt areas and commute to Onne everyday cannot get to the port because of the task force!
The port is open but workers cannot get to the Port.

It is only in Nigeria people will live in Obio/Akpor or PH and work in the Ogu/Onne port.

What about staying in Eleme LGA, Ogu/Bolo LGA, Okrika LGA, Oyigbo LGA or Bonny LGA?

These are the closest to the Ogu/Onne port.

Amya:
Looking down on others. Feeling you're better than others. That phrase '"You Africans" is a very condescending phrase.

Tell me why anyone in his or her right from of mind choose not to look down on Africans in general and Nigerians in particular?

She is ABSOLUTELY right! I support her...as much as it isn't easy, it is the right thing to do.

Amya:
If you happen to be African with this level of condescension, then you're right there with us, swimming in a pool of ignorance.

What do you mean by, "condescension "?

AsawanaDgreat:
As usual, you people will borrow the rest from China to finance the budget.

I doubt China would be cooperative this time.

In essence this woman is saying, close to 50 percent of the budget would be used to finance debt. When Buhari and his bunch of "association of present criminals " take their cut, what would be left?

This country is being messed up on a massive scale!

I guess that was what they meant by; "next level ".

DexterousOne:
Well said

Very accurate, But not 100% accurate sha


Crony capitalism is what you just described
Which unfortunately America and Nigeria practices

Capitalism in the real sense does not give room for this

I wish I could thank you a trillion times!
Very few of us can express it the way you did. I would differ a bit, America practices crony capitalism and Nigeria practices outright cronyism.

Bayodiamond22:
Most business owners are capitallists. Bezos is a hardcore capitalist is a fact...

Is there anything wrong with being a capitalist?
I am a hardcore capitalist, perhaps in favour of capitalism more than Bezos would be.

Tell me what Nigeria has gained from this confused and convulsive system she has been operating for close to 7 decades.

ClassicMan202:
Naija na scam.... I repeat Naija na scam

Seconded

By the way, if we should not ask you, mister health minister, who should we ask?

jazon:
One human being. Richer than many countries....hmm
This capitalism sef

That human knows what those countries and their people refused to know! That's the difference.

People's failure to improve their economic situation has got nothing to do with capitalism. No one stopped you or your country from embracing capitalism.

The problem most of you Africans have is unbridled ignorance.

Kayharry:
did drogba play in laliga?

Don't mind them! Some of them NEVER read, so disappointed in that attitude.
