Rivers born Music icon, Burnaboy with his team on Tuesday visited Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminilayi Fubara at the State Government House in Port Harcourt. The visit became necessary as the music star seeks government attention to lack assess road in his community in Ahoda West local government of the State.

Burnaboy had earlier visited Dr Samuel Ogboku, MD/CEO of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC seeking the commission’s intervention to the dilapidated infrastructures in his locality.

Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu popularly known by his stage name Burnaboy is from Ogbogolo in Ahoda west local government, Rivers State, according to VeryDarkMan, the community have no road, no school and totally underdeveloped.

A very nice move.
Hope the governor does something quickly

Will there be time to design, do procurement, award, construct and complete the road with less than 15 months left for Fubara as governor?

So, any community that doesn't have a celebrity, won't have access to complain to the government they elected. Rivers State has no excuse for lack of infrastructures and amenities in the entire nook and corner of the entire state.
Hope they react to it.

Don't see things in a negative way. It's must not be celebs u might have someone influential maybe in politics or materially.

The fact is one with influence can make doors open easily to him than one who is not known.

Unfortunately, the state government has wasted 3 out of 4 years over political crisis

Good one from Burna boy

Burna only cares about his Fancy cars not the masses

Good job African Giants. I think successive Rivers governor should take a cue from Lagos state on what state wide development entails.

Infrastructure allocation should be evenly distributed across the 23 LGA of Rivers state rather than concentrating on the already congested PH city and ObioAkpor.

Andoni LGA, community like Oyorokoto that is in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean can become the next Lekki-Ajah of Rivers state if not for inept leadership of successive government, only if the community can attract similar large scale investment like FTZ, deepsea port. The community is a very beautiful place to be if not for activities of who-goes-you boys. Other notable communities that can displace Lagos are the island of Bonny in Bonny LGA, Bakana in Degema LGA. Rivers state is so blessed with abundance of untap investment potential but WIKED politicians are the bane holding the state down

Burna Boy is only standing up for his people. He wants development in his community and also want to be remembered as the one that spearheaded it.

Underrate VDM at your own risk, if he had not pay visit to burna boy village maybe he won't have pay the governor visit. Is all good from both side.

Which Lagos state government? Have you been to Ikorodu? Especially the Adamo side? Abeg park well.

Who you the ask the question?
OK make I answer you, yes.

Nigeria is absolutely unbelievable!

A disgrace.

But at least, Fubara didn't travel to UK for vacation like his counterparts.

But even the work burna is doing in the 2 communities came as a result of that girl who was beating by the local gov chairman after she brought the condition of a school to social media. The girl in Lagos also did a video of the struggles people have to go through in her adugbo to enter brt buses, they threatened her, rough handled her but she insisted. Today they have more brt buses.
Na so, if ordinary people speak out, something will come out of it most times. Unless where you have bad people, Eg the CP in Lagos, where people have cried out over the excesses of one akerele, but instead of the cp to act he is shielding the officer. This is the same cp that declared sowore persona non grata in the state, court called it illegal and awarded sowore 30m.

.........................otherwise he would be advocating for Fubara to employ teachers for the free education of all children in Rivers

I doubt if he and his on/off godfather have employed up to 19,500 teachers in their 11 years as governor.

This is the number employed by Makinde in just five years.

Instead of doing that, ologogoro, land grabbing Wike is failing to pay teachers while building houses for judges.

Left hand on Richard Mille, stylist!

So had VDM nit visited his village and exposed the cave he's coming from in Rivers,he wouldn't have taken this step.

Fubara couldn't believe his eyes.

That you dislike a certain celebrity doesn’t mean ur brain shouldn’t process things properly….is it fancy cars that took him there? If he doesn’t use his influence it’s still you people that will complain. Smh

The activities of local jobless youths is what is hindering the development of most South-South and South-East states. How would you use your hands to make your own community so unfriendly to tourists, businesses and investors? Warri and Onitsha are Victims of these nonsense(Strong man cities). Yoruba have started it in Lagos and it is just a matter of time. Bigger and better American cities have seen decline so don't even think that Lagos is immune if certain behavior is not contained.

That one no fit build roads ..he think say Na t dey buy cars up and down and smoking

Burnaboy should be ashamed of himself.
He's one of the richest musicians in Africa and drives the most expensive cars in Africa.
Yet, he's going to his governor to fix his village road.

Apparently, his money is only good for buying exotic cars and squandering on loose women in nightclubs.
