The thing is, our leaders and governors are not creative they don't make use of their heads.
All they know is looting and greed

horchukoh:
I have seen a lot of thread here about akwa ibom and I have followed developmental strides in the state since akpabio's tenure. akwa ibom case is still better than that of Delta state. definitely their politician also steal their money but alot of project are going on there.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Delta state has the worst political office holders you can ever think of. The state isn't blessed with good leaders at all. The last time we saw real infrastructure development was even during Ibori administration. Even though that adminstration threw the state into debts.

Uduaghan was the worst. Nothing to show for his 8 years, aside the Asaba airport. He practically wasted the state resources on white elephant project that even saw the light of the day. (Oleri park, BRT, Modern bus terminal and warri industrial back comes to mind).

The current administration is constructing 1" thickness road and he's calling himself road master (I shame).

Thuggery, Development fee and all forms of youth restivensss finished that city

OVB123:

webmaster99:
warri is a city or so,
that place hardship is times 5 compared to lagos

shugabasbn:
Every state capitals and some towns suppos to have bn a mega city if our resources have bn channelled for good used

I went to my state capital after like 10 yrs absence I was just like why now? No single change, in fact some areas were even worse than before. No water, no light, the traffic lights were no longer functional, many beggers, people are now more angrier than before. The only development were small eateries that just opened

OVB123:
It is very factual.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Warri men/women waiting for your contribution. I have heard James Ibori is still regarded as the best governor, despite Nuhu Ribadu stating he was stealing 50% of the state allocations.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Corruption has killed Niger Delta.

RuudVanNisteroy:
They use substandard materials to continue eating from the road. Corruption in Delta no be here.

nairaman66:
Most people would laugh at this your analysis! Though Warri does have a slight shot at being a better city than the way it currently is. But Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria. How many roads do we have in Lagos today?

Secondly, most northerners are put in offices like the IGP, EFCC, DSS etc. Do you expect them to convict fellow northerners are corrupt? Obviously, the SS, SW and SE leaders will suffer in the hands of these organizations!

Please remind me how many Northerners have been convicted in the hands of these organizations, does it mean there is no corruption going on there?

Olakunleyakub:
Waooo..I never knew warri is so beautiful and pretty like this oooo


I need to be their soonest.

yom2:
them go gree!!!!

RuudVanNisteroy:
Every one I know in Warri has either been robbed,obtained or kidnapped at some point.

Timfreds:
Guy it's not true that Uduaghan did nothing. Infact it's Uduaghan that turned Warri from a town to City. Enerhen junction, Avenue, ShopRite, Roundabout flyover,etc. So please give the credit to him. He played his part, let Okowa take it from there.

valarinz:
No it doesn't, except you meant south west and south south.

I'm fairly certain you will buy your plot of land and build whatever you want at Anambra state without the inidgenes harassing you for any 'deve' fees

Okwuguru:
Scam! All those places that's been shown is where the White have their stay.
Go on deep in and you'd see horror in Development in ND

Seerade029:
Not only Niger delta bro.
Nah every state.

If we also receive that type in my state (Ondo), those useless leaders will steal am.

delkuf:
That is the word obtain

RuudVanNisteroy:
The other side of Warri-James Ibori is considered the best Governor since return to democratic rule in 1999, even though according to Nuhu Ribadu he was stealing 50% of the states allocation.He has the best record in road construction both in Warri and across Delta state. After he left office his successors, just focused on looting and sharing money to their cronies.

sweetgala:
And paying their godfather Ibori. It's ridiculous how Wike n co can talk about godfatherism in Edo while still paying James Ibori godfather money monthly to keep the creek boys at happy

RuudVanNisteroy:
I tried to highlight mostly the good and affluent side of Warri. Majority of Warri is not well developed.

When Lagosians showcase their city they display:Victoria Island,Ikoyi,Lekki,Banana Island and not Mushin or Ajegunle. I tried the show the best areas in Warri.

The politicians and military generals have ruled Delta state since it was created have failed to create what should be one of the best cities on the African continent.

whirlwind7:
You're not totally right. Depends on the part of Anambra though.
For places like Obosi, close to Onitsha, you will pay "deve" (though they don't use that term)

This "deve" is short for development levy. What make places in the south notorious is that different factions of youths (or thugs) could keep coming one after the other to demand for it. You just need tact and be familiar with their leaders to wriggle your way out of most of their silly demands.
This levy is tasked in almost every part of Igboland. You may not get to pay it if you are an indigene of the location. But once you are not (even if you are from that state) you would be levied.

I'm speaking from experience. I've paid such fee at places like Owerri, Awka, Abakaliki and Enugu.
