Jorussia:
From may29,mimiko himself should be preparing for is own impeachment. If he thinks he can use unconstitutional means to remove his deputy and go free then he is a big JOKER.

GEJ administration marginalized AND SACKED PEOPLE TO SET OUT HIS TRIBALISTIC AGENDA

Igbo man Ike Nkeremandu, Deputy Senate President

Igbo man Emeka Ihedioha, Deputy Speaker

(Imagine that in a country with 6 geopolitical zones, one occupies the two of the 4 major National Assemby leadership positions!!)

Igbo man Pius Ayim, Secretary to the Federal Government

igbo man Godwin Emefiele is the governor of the central bank of Nigeria

Igbo woman, Finance Minister and Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy

Igbo woman petroluem Minister

Igbo man Nebo, Power Minister

Igbo man Minister of aviation

Printing and Minting - Igbo

Nafdac -Igbo

MINISTER OF Health - Igbo

Jonathan removed other tribes from head of parastatals and put Igbos there but that would be addressed now. Bureau of statistics was filled up with Igbos.

Even the Hausas/Fulanis in military have never done this above show of shame and pure tribalism. And Igbos were quiet all through that administration cos others were marginalised.

ONYX5:

Dyt:

Only if your boss had convinced us enough

raumdeuter:
You failed to remember that you voted Obasanjo against the wish of Yoruba people

And you were repaid

emmatok:
Yes the most industrial and developed region in Nigeria ia Yoruba land.

peckhamboi:
Sometimes I wonder how Nigeria would be without the Yorubas

It would just be like Chad or Cameroon

We have given a lot to this country but we haven't got any back

TheGoodJoe:
Between GEJ and Gov. Amaechi, who fought for the Rivers People. If you say GEJ, tell me one meaningful thing he did for the Rivers People.

GEJ even took your Oil wells but you hail GEJ.

That is like someone stealing your land and you are angry with the Lawyer fighting to get your land back. SMH.

TheGoodJoe:
[b]What about the fact Gov. Amaechi fought against GEJ's removal of Crude Oil wells from Rivers State. Gov. Amaechi was fighting for them. If Gov. Amaechi stood with GEJ after he took Oil wells from Rivers State, he would have gained a lot from GEJ. But, Gov. Amaechi stood and fought for the same Rivers People who hate him.

Gov. Amaechi contributed so much to the development of Rivers State, especially Port-Harcout.

From his teachers training and employment, TIMARIV that created jobs for graduates without employment,
Development of the Dental Hospital at Garrison,
The turnaround development of Public Schools in Rivers State,
Agip Junction Flyover,
Ada George Road,
NTA Road,
Rumokoro to Elele Road,
The New Stadium at Omagwa,
Iwofe Road,
He moved UPTH to their permanent site,
Developed New Mile One clinic and Many more.

GEJ and his cohorts wasted money for generations to come, pardoned embezzlers, left our troops unarmed in harm's way, allowed the growth of Boko Haram that led to loss of tens of thousand lives.

Yet the Rivers People hate Gov. Amaechi and like GEJ, Patience and one of GEJ's corrupt cohorts Wike.

Baffling.

[size=18pt] YOU YOURSELF KNEW THAT APC CAN NEVER FAIL NIGERIA ESPECIALLY WHEN BABA IS THE HEAD. MIND YOU BABA CAN NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM ANY PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE. AND BABA WILL NOT HESITATE TO USE VETO POWERS IF THE LIVES OF NIGERIANS ARE IN DANGER [/size]

FregeneB:
Yeye dey Smell...We don leave that one for them, Make them use that one take dey sustain their PDP....It is well..We have 22 States...What more..

Blitz888:
It's obvious you don't know Rivers State beyond what the media feeds you with... A victory gotten at the expense of the blood of Niger Deltans is no victory to me. Armchair critics like you will do well to stop fanning the embers of discord.
Amachi/Dakuku should congratulate Wike so that peace will reign.

It's Ubima and not Ubiama.

Cuteamigo1:
amechi let ur haters go and hug transformer. u are an honest man and the reward for honesty is not always rewarded on earth. history will judge you well for having done well for the state.

No fewer than six countries have already refused to grant an asylum request by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, the Business Council for Africa (BCA) said in its just-released monthly report, noting that about US$ 1 trillion is the latest estimated figure of the looting of the Nigerian treasury between 1960 and 2005 alone.

The report, dated March 2015, focused extensively on Nigeria’s general elections. It said the notorious Minister, whose impunity is known to have been closely-protected by President Goodluck Jonathan, will be coming under the microscope for the first time in her Ministerial career.

“Given her reputation, it comes as no surprise to learn that 6 countries have already refused to grant her asylum to live in their countries as she now wishes to leave Nigeria at the earliest possible opportunity,” it said.

BCA recalled President-elect Muhammadu Buhari lamenting that the rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption, one where stealing is not corruption but a way of life, and that his administration will pursue all public offices and individuals who are believed to be guilty of corruption.

It observed that despite an earlier promise, it is now understood that Buhari’s anti-corruption fishing net will include Ministers currently serving under President Goodluck Jonathan. Alison-Madueke’s departure from Nigeria is likely to be followed by several other PDP elders, party members and supporters as well as some former Government officials, as Buhari's anti-corruption drive will be far-reaching.

“It will be very interesting to learn in the coming months exactly how far back in Nigeria's history his administration will go in the pursuance of those who have robbed Nigeria of US$ 1 trillion, which is the latest estimated figure of theft from the Nigerian treasury between the period 1960-2005. Given that President Jonathan's administration is considered the most corrupt of any of its predecessors, that figure is going to be considerably magnified, but whether the new President will wish to pursue former Heads of State is a matter of interest and considerable debate to Nigerian observers. It is this subject that is primarily responsible for Buhari's success in winning the election as well as his campaign promises to eradicate Boko Haram, revive the economy and rebuild Nigeria to make its position as the number one country in Africa.

While BCA agreed that the March/April 2015 were “the most credible elections in Nigeria's history”, it said they could not be called the most incorruptible.

On the contrary, it referred to them as the worst because of the amount of money that the PDP so freely and openly spent on trying to secure the re-election of Mr. Jonathan.

“The stories and reports from throughout the 36 States of the amount of money distributed by the PDP to elders, rulers, church leaders, unions and youth leaders amongst others in an endeavour to favour the voters towards the PDP has backfired badly,” the report said.

BCA said that if the 2011 elections were considered bad, the 2015 elections will undoubtedly go down as the most corrupt in Nigeria's history, certainly since 1999, as the amount of money being distributed as bribes primarily by the PDP so very openly would readily confirm.

It reported that since November when campaigning began, President Jonathan and General Buhari during their travels made no fewer than 109 promises of what they intend to achieve if given the mandate in the presidential election.

“President Jonathan's campaign continued to hinge on his party's Transformation Agenda and the achievements of his Government in the last 4 years, particularly in the agricultural sector, job creation and the empowerment of women,” the report said. In that regard, it credited Jonathan as having achieved a great deal during his tenure.

It said it was however Jonathan’s failures - rampant corruption, insecurity, inability to eliminate the Boko Haram insurgency, failure in such sectors as the economy, and power in particular, and the overall feeling that he was ruled rather than led - that have cost him his re-election bid.

The report also stated that in the 2015 elections, up to 250 Nigerians lost their lives, describing that deplorable record as speaking volumes for the control achieved by the Police at the campaign rallies by the two main candidates.

It described the cost of the campaigns of the two main parties as “simply staggering”, noting that by the first week of March, Buhari had spent some N332.58 billion as compared to the expenditure of President Jonathan which amounted to N1.05 trillion.

“This is without taking into account the cost of other expenses for such items as campaign rallies, where the PDP has spent N1.06 billion against Muhammadu Buhari's APC's N595.08 million, and clearly demonstrates the desperate lengths that the PDP have gone to in order to try and secure the re-election of President Jonathan.”

handsomenairala:
You seemed not to know what real war is. If Nigeria state wage a proper war against the militants which would affect the innocent Ijaws, trust me, the militants the will see their villages and refuse to believe it was the same place.

I wish a well trained military officer in person of Ojukwu is still much alive to tell you what war is all about. Obasanjo didn't want to declare a proper war on the Militants cos of media attention that was given to the Militants then.

And the whole nation was behind the militants' agitation/struggle until Jonathan became a president. However, Jonathan's presidency and all the incentives given to the Militants via Amnesty programs have destroyed their chances of getting any empathy from any quarter.

Did you see how Boko haram was dealt with? Did militant go through air bombing and all that? No......

The militants and their newly born children would regret their action by the time Nigeria deal with them.
