Delta state, my state of origin is one those state that harbour oil producing regions in the Niger delta. it is one of those states that is blessed with natural resources good land for agriculture and also access to the atlantic ocean.

With all these u would expect the state to be one of the best and finest in nigeria,but the reverse is the case.

Delta state is a state that has been ruled by the people's democratic party (PDP) since creation. the state has been unfortunate in the aspect of politics. A state whereby anybody contesting be it APC or PDP are just fighting for their share of d money when they get to d seat.

A state where tribalism and communal conflict has been the other of the day. As a matter of fact if u want development in ur region in the state make sure the governor of the state is from ur region whether the development bring economic value or nt, even jobs and appointments are based on sentiments,a state where who no who is the way to survive.

Ovo mavo, so BBN don finish u come remember

Guy d state nor gt vision i'm nt done yet am preparing the other part of the article.

Them sey if we vote in Okowa, sey things go better..That he will be different but now i discover that to rule Delta state effectively is not by the regions the person comes from.We hope for a better leader with vision in the next election..I am really tired of seeing Delta State become a shadow of itself.I am really disappointed in Gov Okowa, i thought he would be different and more efficient like Gov Ambode of Lagos.i just tire for Delta state ..its like the state and as well as its people are caused with gra gra and corruption.

*Continues*
Delta state is a state where communal conflict is the other of the day. it's a state where the people don't welcome development. a maritime university is to be sited at a location. nw the traditional rulers are using their illiterate youths to fight for the ownership of land......criously in this modern era. Conflicts such as these has driven investors out of the state.

I believe one of the problems of the state is crude oil. cos jobless youths in the state are nw driven by the our oil mentality. This mentality has pushed the youths to resulting in militancy and oil bunkering. Tell me hw the state go take beta.


Delta state on the other hand has been unfortunate with leadership as the politicians will just loot and go FREELY. U would love to be a local govt chairman in this state. cos u pratically do nothing just loot n share with agberos. The leaders don't have the mentality of driving investement, they can't make the state attractive enough for tourism. Lack of water, good roads e.t.c

As in it pains me. don't be surprised that he is developing is home town agbor. i heard the man is a good and honest guy sha. but nothing to show for it. the BRT that the people at warri kicked against has been removed but the roads is nw scatered.

Delta state is nw a state where the youths are nw fighting for king of agberos. these set of people refuse to work for money, they prefer goin into any building site and companies to ask for what they call "DEVE" if a road is to be repaired 2dae watch this agberos invade the site for the development levy. if nt paid they will pursue the contractors.


Enough said the question nw is what is the way foward?

The state/local govt n the people e.g youth have a lot to play in the development of the state. The leaders need to come up with a plan on hw to restructure and drive economic activities in the state,which the people will have to comply. In this plan should be the development of the educational sector, agricultural sector,infrastructures,roads and bridges, eletricity, basic and social amenities.
The upcoming youths (teens) will need a change of mindset. They need to be tutored that the world doesn't revolve around oil as they have been made to believe. And the people should try to welcome development.

Militancy should be stopped and adequate security should be provided.

Drop ur take on the issue.

One of lucky state so far so good.. the state has been marred with a lot mediocrity..

No my brother education will go a long way to improve quality mentality but I thought they rank among the most educated nou? oh! education is not the problem SS needs general orientation I love them because they less tribalistic but a lot has to be done even GEJ is a dissapointment I'm not supporting APC because I campaigned for gej but the truth is to be told he was a failure as state governor.

Nothing is too late me also would like to become governor of my state Lagos in future I'm also young but I'm a politian if people like you become leaders tomorrow tribalism in SN will end instead will both think of collaboration for development. start now with hard working only successful men would become good leaders even though some one take up the task as governor youll still be relevant like dangote. I believe strongly most company would have love to stay at delta state if there was no militancy just imagine largest refinery in Lagos instead of delta state

M workin towards it i have so many goals. the refinery in warri is it even workin well. they are just show off. i think real-estate should be introduced to cities and towns in states. houses of the 1970's shouldn't still be in a city. scatter the houses build new 1's with good drainage. n sewage system end public toilets and rent to the people at cheap prices while providing job 4 them. den the development continues to other areas.

thereby makin the youth lead a hard life, that result into cultistism,prostituition,millitancy etc
despite this,there ar literates too bt they are affected too, so therefore, the major problem are the leaders both state,local,traditional rulers etc. the number 1 thing they do is how to create new office(avenue) to embezel cash meant 4 development.. they would stock themselves up with it and invest them far off(like uduaghans hospital in china, and ibori refinery in S.A or tompolos university dahomey) imagine if these organizations are here in the state, that would be employment 4 some jobless youth. and then they use the illiterate and jobless youths to do their biding. as 4 the ones that invest in the state, they only builds hotels (employin the young men as secuirities and the ladies as prostituites) and expensive shoping malls (that youths spend their last dime on their highly priced contents like memories owned by ben ibakpa) and i dnt thnk these contribute much to the states gdp.

it doesn't contribute at all cos they will evade tax. i just pray 4 a leader with a vision.

When we invade this thread to counter your hate and lies you will call us IPOB. wetin concern Igbo for this matter now. You craftily tagged in Igbo to suit your burning neo narcissist burning hatred against a tribe. Be warned.

these old useless leaders should hav been building factories in large mass in various L.G.A and communities in factors that generate income 4 D state and employment 4 D youths. like agricultural factories,, i.e palm product factories,(palm oil,palm kernel oil, raw materials 4 soap making etc) factories on cassava products(garri,cassava flour, cassava starch etc) rubber factories, and factories on cash and eatable agric products and factories that produce raw materials 4rm these products so they can be exported., build steel factories, and build refineries, and get lincence 4rm FG to legalise and improve illegal and local refineries to modern and safe standard. if there are 2 or 3 big factories in each community it would reduce unemployment in the long run., but these idiots wil rather buy keke 4 the young men, and sewing/hairdressing machine 4 the ladies and say i empowered the youths. if al the young men drive keke, who wil pay 2 take keke? or if al the young ladies sew/hairdressing who wil pay 2 sew/plait?

buying of keke and sewing/hairdriers is not bad, but it should not be the only resort, these oudated OS (leaders) are never versatile, they only knw how to embezel.

Truth is, u wont see one if the age range is above 40 and upward.. i would be planning a movement (in the nearest future) to enlighten the youths not to give in to the wiles of these leaders and their outdated lifestyle, and maybe work ways to see that younger men and women gets top positions in governments so as to implement and install what the youth need, i think only the youths of our time realy understand what this youths of our time realy need and want.
