You are truly an illiterate, your own Peter is a disgrace to all sane Peter, you dont even have any sense and truly proud of it. What has the name of a journalist got to do with his tribe, I am ashamed on your behalf cos you are a disgrace to your people.

Bayelsa that is not even as big as Yaba local govt area is supposed to be the most developed state in Nigeria given its size, small population and oil derivation they collect.

If jonathan has taken money illegally from CBN and use it to develop bayelsa to be like dubai, Nigerians would have pardoned him. But he was a vice president, acting president and president, yet his people don't have drinking water and passable road.

And he's busy telling the world that part of his achievement was that he meet dangote as the rishest man in Nigeria and when he got into power, dangote became the rishest man in Africa. Is that an aChievememt?


I was expecting him to list his major achievement as uprgrading his state to a world class city like dubai and china.




Even an helipad, he didn't build in his town, meanwhile, the man they call "dullard" has built an helipad in daura in his first 3 months in office.

Jonathan is a shame.

Nonsense!

TPAND:
This is a stupid article.

You measure a states economy by Hotel price and pepper soup joint. For crying out loud, where did Nature position the brains of most Nigerians, certainly not in their head

mightyfada:
When Obasanjo was the President, what did he do for his state(Ogun State) talkless of South West as a whole?

Stop blaming Jonathan for everything.

HopeAtHand:
I want truckpusher, tonyebarcanista, phockphockman, dearpreye et al to read this.

mu2sa2:
So because Obj did nothing for his home state (according to you), Gej is therefore right to to have left no legacy for Bayelsa despite the huge windfall he presided over as governor and president? What illogical statement!

I think such situations is obtainable currently in every state except u guys wanna deliberately deny the obvious. Nigeria currently is a joke....
Aside my earlier point, its actually good the ijaws lost the centre so that they will realize wat it means to rally round their very own even if he's"the ineffectual buffoon" like some very foolish Nigerians put it. You don't kill or throw away a bad child, u rally round him, support him and encourage him to be a better child. The Northerners and southwesterners are better in that e.g obj and tinubu, obj and gbenga Daniel.

We told them.

Invest the wealth in human capital.

Enrich the minds of our people.

Manage the youth, create factories (certainly not hotels), improve the general well being of the people.

Enact laws that make local power production easily achievable.

We had the power and might. The finance and connections. Yet, we mismanaged everything.

We encouraged militancy, we distributed guns and munitions. Reacted angrily to opposing views.

Now we live in penury... Once again.

Ok we'll revert to militancy once again. Burst pipelines, kidnap foreigners and locals alike.

The ultimate loss would still be ours.

Sustainable development appears alien to us.

We despoil our land and waterways.

Simply Irritating and repugnant.

I weep for my People.

DropShot:
Long time brother. I'm ashamed for many of our leaders. Surely, Bayelsa, Rivers and a few other states don't have any business being poor.

Abagworo:
Don't stay in your enclave and judge others faraway. The challenges of Bayelsa State is enormous and has very little to do with population. Jonathan and his wife's overbearing influence destroyed what could have been the gains of hardworking Dickson. No society can develop by empowering criminals against hardworking law abiding citizens including academicians. Jonathan's government made militants lords of Bayelsa and impoverished the law abiding ones.

Amaechi helped Rivers State escape the Bayelsa stigma. He refused to empower militants but chose to use the money to empower law abiding citizens in the communities. Today Rivers people own businesses and compete favorably with Igbos in every sector because of Amaechi's wisdom.

freshdude99:
The thing with you ijaws be say Una no get sense at all, you inclusive. So bcz a yoloba bigot wrote this silly article, u think u conducted research? Probably maybe the silly journalist is from osun, which is closer to Lagos but he cldnt offer such article to arebes...
You guys should wakeup, ijaw nation be wise for once

distilledwalex:
Wailer spotted!!! Am certain you knew not what you speak of. . you think people here will just swallow ur lie hook line and si... .. Whats the square mile of Bayelsa... Am very conversant with the state as ive spent over a year there.. The ineffectual buffon and the so called war lords collectively destroyed Bayelsa.. Go to their local govt offices on monday morning and see what goes down there.. Damn you can lie oo

Babalegba:
You are wrong on several counts,The Economist a well respected international news magazine called Jonathan an " ineffectual buffoon" other people simply echoed it.Secondly south westerners don't support someone just because they are from the south west, it is a wrong ignorant and trite thing to do.Obasanjo was not even supported with votes for his first stint as Democratic president, this only happened during his reelection.Fayoses support base is in iboland while Gbenga Daniel is derided in Ogun.Poverty and ignorance is what makes people vote along tribal lines. Wages are still being paid in Ogun state despite Ogun getting considerably less money from the F.G

Bayelsa is 10,773km square. Lagos is 3,345km square. Bayelsa is 3 times bigger than Lagos by landmass.

IzonOwei:
this is not about a yoruba man or shittt.... My dad and mum who are retirees both called me to update me on the present madness in the state... That article is not even detailed enough to express the backwardness in bayelsa state... People are suffering in that state...

A pastor friend who has been in Bayelsa for more than 10 years called me 4 days ago to send N5k into his account because the economy of the dominant civil servant state is down completely. Church members are not giving offerings and tithes again.

I have been doing dredging in Bayelsa for d past 3 years. 3 years ago I supplied sand Danta-Danta Sawoe through Alams brother because Alams has interests in the company. Uptill now I have not been paid. The land owner asked me to bring more money in order for me to sell the remainibg sand last year but I refused. He is the one chasing me to come sell the sand at my own terms provided he gets something. Bayelsa is a state that if they have visonary leaders as Lagos they would have sand-filled the stretch from mbiama to patani but instead Goodluck empowered the militants. They were the ones calling the shots such that no reasonable business men will come there. Last year Dickson organised an economic summit calling on investors to come and invest in Bayelsa including agriculture. He gave very enticing incentives. The key questions to him and his team from attending investors was how will they address issue militancy and security.

Even if the Yoruba tribe never liked the choice of Obj, no problem but the moment obj there they had no other choice than to support his else Na Abba and his cronies would have impeached him in 2003. Secondly there was a feud btw obj/gbenga towards the tail end of both tenures, few people knew abt this, they managed it in such a manner that the media did blow it up. Wen u got to know the real story was wen both have left their portfolios and the end result was pdp's monumental failure in ogun state. The same state that produced the then immediate past president. Then talking about fayose, its insane for u to Say that his fan base is Igbos bcz its not igbos in the SE that voted him into power in ekiti. My point is the SW and N understands wat blood relationship means better than other regions. Really round your own wether its bcz of poverty or share foolishness, your own is your own SIMPLE!

The sufferings is everywhere presently and ofcz bayelsa shouldn't be an exception. Here in delta state, primary school teachers have no been paid for the past 3mnths not to talk of local government employees. Federal government allawee for copers for march managed to come in 15th of April only God knows wen that of April will show. People are suffering everywhere so blowing bayelsa's trumpet loud to me is a plot by apc and their goons to blackmail pdp led govt and also to ridicule the ijaw nation. Aregbesola of osun and amosun of ogun aren't any better in there second stint but did u see anyone not even the Sw media saying anything....
I rest my case o bros after am not a bayelsan, am a core Anambarian. I just wanted u to have a clue of d soft politics they are playing

masterblogger:
One slowpoke just commented that Yaba in Lagos is bigger than bayelsa. What a lie from the pit of hell. Please you all need to be informed, Bayelsa is over two times bigger than lagos state as a whole. Go get your facts right!

Why are APC supporters so hateful and deceitful. They are after bayelsa now.

A similar situation happened in Enugu, the moment the government declared Enugu airport free to fly to China, USA etc, the lagos APC supporters rushed to the media and start writing thrash claiming the Enugu runway is bad. The airport I just landed yesterday that is in a perfect condition.

For the same reason the LAGOS APC political touts did every possible and boost Jonathan out for the single reason that he said he will build seaport for the igbos in onitsha. They beleive this will draw importers to onitsha against lagos.

Jonathan tried a lot in bayelsa, South south, southeast, South West, and most especially the north. A man of equity.

Thanks

don't mind him. Southsoutherners think that much with their heads.

Babalegba:
I'm sorry that you are not getting my point which is that a bad Nigerian politician should not be supported by his people solely for tribal reasons. It is an uncivilised thing to do and grotesquely ignorant.There should be a difference in the worldview of an illiterate man and an educated man. The north would at the moment always side with their own because they are mostly uneducated but eventually education will correct them.Most of the people defending Fayose now are from the south east and that's a fact. He somehow managed to get to the governor's seat and now Ekiti people are poorer for it.Unfortunately Jonathan was a very bad leader who lacked ideas.The Ijaws should nurture a resolute principled leader and jettison that disgrace called Jonathan. The economist is an highbrow newspaper that normally use words selectively, they called him an ineffectual buffoon in exasperation
