Barely 10 metres from where the children were defecating in the waters on that warm Tuesday evening, some middle-aged women stooped and scooped some water into empty buckets, at a distance not too far away from where some men were having their baths - in the riverine community of Angiama, a 40-minute speedboat ride from the capital city, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. http://www.punchng.com/feature/communities-where-residents-use-same-river-for-cooking-drinking-bathing-and-defecating/ |

The blame is not on Jonathan alone. What happened to the local government chairman, senators and councilors from that ward? All our leaders are a disgrace to this nation. While on IT, my friend visited some communities in Abj and their condition was more than pathetic. When I saw a picture of what they drink, I realized I can't even allow such water touch my body. 54 Likes 2 Shares |

Federal and State Government should immediately do something about this. Where is NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta, the State Government, etc. The fact that this is in the capital of Bayelsa State, President Jonathan's home front is very insulting. With trillions spent in the last 6yrs and huge allocation to the State, this is a big insult. 15 Likes 1 Share |

teufelein, I see you have a credible story here. Don't get too emotive about these things. Criticise we can, but I think your title is way overboard. I beg you, edit it. 3 Likes |

Dont blame Jonathan or anybody. The blame should first go to those people for voting incompetent people into various positions from local government chairmen, councilor and the likes. It is common knowledge that many people will prefer to vote for people because he is their kin or because of political party affiliations rather than competence and achievement from past positions and responsibility. Besides that is not suposed to be the work of Jonathan but the work of the Local Government Chairmen, people in positions of authority whom they call their sons whom they voted for during elections. These are the people who are supposed to provide them with basic amenities. In other news, some Group of people called Ijaw Leaders are begging Jonathan to grant some International Criminal called James Ibori Presidential pardon so he can come home and receive a presidential welcome. Can you imagine that? When i see things like this, i do not blame the leaders because we deserve the leaders that we voted in power. Also, some region in Nigeria wont stop to blame the Federal Government for not doing enough to develop their land but had refused to challenge their Governors and task them on their responsibility to develop their states. You see these people will always blame other people for their underdevelopment rather than blame their Governors. Besides, i think you should edit this your title. It is rather too harsh 21 Likes 1 Share |

This is really terrible. Yet these guys insist Jonathan is a victim of a gang up between power brokers in the country. This guy damn failed his own "brothers"! Can someone give me a good reason why he should have been retained?? 20 Likes |

Op u have got to modify the topic. Jonathan is your president and he is old enough to be your father, so he deserves some respect. Even though i voted for Buhari, thats cos Mr Jonathan performance is below xpection. 1 Like |

Jonathan failed woefully and this is another evidence. But OP, you're too harsh with your title. Please edit it and hope it gets to the front page. 9 Likes 1 Share |

[size=15pt] This region produced a president for 6 years and still his people lives in such terrible conditions ? Why are our leaders so wicked? Where are the Niger delta freedom fighters? Instead of improving the lives of the average Niger deltan GEJ chose to empower militants and ignored the common man. This people still voted blindly for him recently because he is their son. They prefer to suffer till death than vote for a valuable change. GEJ is very heartless and I thank God he is now history in our politics[/size] 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Op, why put all the blame on the doorstep of the president? What have the state governors been doing for the past 16 years? What have these people been doing with '13% derivation' accruing to the state all these years? The question the op should also ask is why the people themselves have continued to vote for underdeveloped infrastructure? The Niger Delta people need to start asking a lot of questions about their leaders. The president cannot just be blamed for everything because he is from Bayelsa! 1 Like 1 Share |

No. This is wrong, very very wrong. I've finally decided to believe that the problem with Nigeria is not leadership or corruption. What is the big deal in constructing boreholes in these areas? 1 Like |
