Madam this your comment is weighty and unexpected from a high and respected person like you.

Its really bad to encourage blood shed because of politicians who dont have the intetest of the masses.

Please continue to preach peace because you are a mother to be and can never encourage your son to pick up arms because of a politician.

No offence ma, i remain loyal to you.


And it's good to encourage rigging eeh? I weep for you guys

guy forget d election was free and fair. I was PO in my polling unit. Edo PDP was not serious. Instead of dem to spend moni like APC they didn't. APC were paying voters behind d scene 2k -5k to vote APC. And u think ppl will vote PDP wen dey entice dem wit moni especially village ppl.


That is the problem we have in Nigeria, u sef think wat u just said is that not total corruption and rigging?

I am sure u also sold ur vote, the good people of Edo will also suffer with the bad people that voted this crazy, selfish and idiotic political party called APCSHIT

Opinion: Amaechi, Rivers is not Edo: You're missing the point


Editor’s note: Oraye St. Franklyn, a media aide to governor Nyesome Wike has attacked the Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi as the battle of who controls the oil rich Rivers state continues.

By Oraye St. Franklyn

The embattled Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, in a desperate effort to redeem his blighted ego and waned national standing in the APC, which were severely crushed by the overwhelming rejection he suffered at both the General and Rerun elections in Rivers State, as the leader of the APC in Rivers State, has again missed the point in declaring that the rejected Party will win the remaining rescheduled elections in the State that were deliberately postponed in a bid to undermine the stake of Rivers people both at the National Assembly and within the Nigerian federation.

Amaechi’s confidence springs from the recent controversial victory of the APC in Edo State as he said at a recent poorly attended rally in Rivers State. But he misses the point, yet again, as he did when for his personal political survival and vain glory he misled innocent sons and daughters of the State to support a Political party that has turned out to be the worst in the history of democracy in Nigeria.

The points Amaechi should note are that first, he has suffered an established defeat in Rivers State. At the last March 19 court ordered rerun elections in Rivers State in which Amaechi by himself led the hordes of hell and the charge against Rivers people, his political fortune was brutally crushed and his incapacity was effectively exposed to the whole world to see.

What didn’t Amaechi not do at that Election? The military was summoned and went beyond themselves to undermine the will of Rivers people. Supporters of the PDP were attacked and killed in the guise of mopping up arms that no one has to this day seen. Even the State was strategically demarketed by Amaechi himself as a hotbed of crises irrespective of the fact that Amaechi and his party were the instigators of the various crises that characterised what they condemned. Fortunately, every effort failed, including the plot to rig the elections in favour of the APC.

How can Rivers people forget in a hurry that the braggadocious Amaechi who flew into the State like an Emperor coming for a kill in the full glare of the media, had to escape the embarrassing defeat he suffered, in the dead of the night unannounced, dejected, rejected and humiliated?

But the point to be made here is that as Minister, albeit, a ‘super’ Minister with the ears of the President, who rather than attract development to the State, champions the extermination of his own people, Amaechi was defeated and remains so, without any homebase support; and the remainder elections, infinitesimal as they are, won’t change the fact of his defeat and rejection. He and his Party, the APC, would be defeated again.

Amaechi also needs to be reminded that the same will of Rivers people that rejected APC at a time when it had not sufficiently proved itself to be a national error as it currently is, has not abated any bit. It is the same will that will resist all efforts to undermine democracy in Rivers State regardless of whether the entire armed forces of the federation are deployed to the State. And the reasons are not far-fetched. No political party in the history of Nigeria’s democracy has displayed a lack of tolerance for diversity as the APC does.

No party has been motivated by the dire drag for fundamentalism as the APC does. No Party in Nigeria’s history has established a government without an iota of the understanding of the workings of government as the APC is doing. And if the people of Edo, could find no basis to prevent a hijack of their will, the people of Rivers, time after each, have consistently showed no stomach for the maddening malfeasance.

Amaechi’s recent boast is not being treated with levity, he must be informed, as his aversion for political tolerance and democratic tenets are well established facts concomitant with the values of his Political Party, the APC. While the People of Rivers State who have consistently rejected him and his Party are unrattled by his open boast of the deployment of military might to undermine their will, they will stand ready in the full glare of the whole world to ensure that Amaechi and his sponsors in Abuja are guided to answer for charges on genocide and ethnic cleansing at the Hague.

We are determined to put a stop to the political killings being sponsored by the APC in Rivers State with the cooperation of Federal institutions.

It is a matter of public knowledge that Rivers State is deliberately being prodded to be unsafe for anything worthwhile. While the Governor Wike-led administration has consistently made mileage in delivering the needed dividends of good governance to Rivers people irrespective of the distractions and the debilitating effects of the mismanagement of both the economy and governmental powers by the APC led Federal Government.

it has not gone unnoticed that Amaechi has personally stood in the way of peace in Rivers State by constantly inciting tensions with his immature and unsalted political rhetoric, especially in the lead up to elections in the State. The same game is playing out again. But this time around, Amaechi would be helped to sort out his misery. Watch out.‎

Re: Rivers Is Not Edo, Oraye Tells Amaechi by Carisma4U(f): 6:28pm On Oct 01, 2016
Crude Oil- a curse and a burden for the Niger-Deltan?
I am a Niger Delta woman! Yes, I can see the confusion as you look at my name again and you try to recall if today's date is April 1st. It's no joke, my lineage on my matrileneal side is from the Creeks in between the Mangrove forest and according to our tradition, our inclusion comes from our mothers. I agree with them, every child inherits the mitochondria of their mother in all of their cells and the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell organism within us. So your key building blocks are from your mother which goes to entail that a lot of you is from her.
I spent most of my youth in engine boats/speed boats going from Creek road waterside to Bonny waterside. I'd stare at the mangroove trees as we sped by on those boats, the waves trouncing us about and feeling the forceful rocking motions of the boats then. Watching the white waves swirl and then cascade in a crescendo if a bigger boat passed by. It was so mysterious gazing at the sea, imagining her containing the hippos my auntie had told me about in many tales. Wondering if I'd spot a mermaid finally as they were prone to desire adulation by us mere mortals.
Sometimes when it rained, they covered us with tent material to protect us from the heavy rain and it felt claustrophobic as we were encased within as the speed boats bounced about. My mother never went in a single engine boat, she always chose dual engine boats because she felt they were safer to cross with if one developed fault due to debris obstructing the oars/engine? It did happen once that we were in the open sea and one engine had a problem that had to be checked out and we stalled there as they kept trying to get it back in operation. My childish imagination kept wondering if a hippo would show up to capsize our boat. Back then, no one traveled with life jackets and I didn't know how to swim. I shared my fears with my mother who hushed me and told me that we never spoke of the hippo on the sea as that was a way of calling it. She also reprimanded me for talking of drowning, it was also another taboo when on water. My head reeled with all of this information as it was a lot for my child's mind but I had to accept it on a faith basis as my mother had water running through her veins as a daughter of the creeks.
I loved my mother's village, Oloma. She has a beguiling spell that she casts upon you once you get close to her shore. When I was a child, we didn't have a jetty there inspite of the fact that Shell had an oil well there. As a child, the only benefit I saw from there presence was cold, drinking water which my grandaunt would procure from their station in our village. We had no power or running water. No clinics for our sick folks and everything was very basic. Power came to our village eventually and an uncle got Shell to build us a jetty to make it more convenient for his highbrow visitors who visited the guest resort he built there. This same uncle took my siblings and I touring our neighboring creeks with canoes when we were little. He taught us to paddle and get our canoes to move. He took us to one of our little islands there and showed us the joys of fresh coconut meat and its water. I miss the simplicity of our villages in our creeksides.
When I chose to become a Chemical Engineer as a young teen, part of my desire was fueled by the need to clean up the mess the oil companies had done to our water and soil. I could barely see the benefits of the resource we had underground and I applied to the distinguished program at my alma mater, Syracuse University for a Master's degree hoping to address this issue. I stated this desire in my application letter and throughout my foray there, I was proud of my Niger Delta roots, all my Professors spoke to me about the politics of our situation and what were my plans upon graduation.
I had a lot of hopes then in my early youth, I was an idealist and believed that mere ideas- espousing them could change the world.
Fast forward to my return back home, the first time I visited my beloved Bonny, I openly wept. I wept for how she had been used by foreigners and her children, alike. How she had very little to show for how richly she had been blessed.
Yes, we have 24 hours power there but the standard of living is so high there that a lot of people starve daily. We didn't have a serviceable hospital until NLNG arrived on the scene in spite of the presence of Shell, Mobil and a plethora of other oil companies there. This huge gap has led to major loss of life including that of my wonderful, irreplaceable grandma who we miss with great pain.
Instead of being a blessing to us, the crude oil seems to be a blight to us. Our families are torn apart because of feuds having to do with the royalties from our oil wells. Employment is almost impossible to secure and insecurity is rampart in our creeks. It is painful because I visited Dubai and saw what their leaders used their blessings for. It hurts me acutely on so many levels because I love our Ijaw traditions. I love who we are; our warrior spirit, our pride, our strong survival instinct and our passion for life.
I loathe what the oil has done to our community and my heart bleeds for the irrevocable loss we have suffered. Sometimes, I wish I had the power to go back in time and ask for different blessings for us, not crude oil.

Edo election was manipulated and rigged.

1. Sharing money openly and even issuing ticket without the fear of security operatives around and using security personnels to
destroy and steal ballot box. What a tragedy.

2. 1st time result collation was prosponed to give way to perfect rigging.

3. Election observers, opposition party agents and Journalists driven away from collation center.

I think the best way to handle APC is the river and bayelsa do or die type of politics. Oshiomole and INEC used the quietness of we Edo people against us....

How can you go home happily that you have won election only to hear a different figure announced by INEC. It's a shame on the part of Buhari, INEC and Oshiomole who was the pioneer of one man one vote.
Oga don't say what you don't know. I was a presiding officer in Ovia Northeast ward 2 unit 5. The election was free and fair. INEC gave we Corps members a mandate that we must not make mistakes. There shouldn't be inconclusive election. Many Edo people attested to it that the election was free and fair.

Am surprised that Edo people are like the Yorubas. I have always taken them like the Izons. Very fearless people Why must you leave when results are not collated. When the date of the election was moved forward, they should know that apc will rig the election. Rivers, deltans, bayalsas will never allow Buhari, never, it cannot happen that Buhari should enjoy the oil.
