u r d empty one here.

id911:


This your comment makes me to sometimes doubt if some Nigerians who claimed to be educated are actually educated and enlightened or even have common sense. NJC recommended Justice Onnoghen for appointment as CJ, without any reason whatsoever, instead of the President to forward his name to the Senate he refused but later made him acting CJ. Funny enough, nobody see any wrong about it. All d evil una dey support go come back to hunt una soonest

now listen to urself is the CJ the first appointment that comes with acting first? or do u mean to tell.me that ur hero didn't appoint anyone in acting capacity before confirmation? and finally tell if the constitution is against the PMB's action... if u can answer these questions correctly then I will give you my attention but right now u don't deserve it.

Ahmeduana:

JUST SHUT UP IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TANGIBLE TO SAY, INSTEAD OF YOU TO ANALYSE THE OBSERVATION OF FAYOSE, YOU LEFT THE MESSAGE START ATTACKING THE MESSENGER, NOW YOU YOURSELF READ AGAIN WHAT YOU POSTED, IS THERE SINGLE SENSE IN IT, UHNM?

oh yea I just read ur comment and it has no sense in it....so u shut up

fayose is trying to make himself relevant whereas he is already useless. ...common Ekiti state u cannot govern but u ll be poknosing everywhere...aproko governor.

hello guys, help me check out this CV I made by my self. do you think its OK for a fresh graduate?? is there any correction that I can rectify??

perfect one..well constructed and pls don't let nairalander scatter ur well arrange cv with dia badmouth

businessMODE:
Everyday, men of the Nigerian Arm Forces loose their lives in bid to secure us. Most often, thousands of them go without any form of recognition for their selfless sacrifice... Patrick Paul, Col Muhammed Abu-Ali and other soldiers who were killed in Maiduguri, Borno state last week in a Boko Haram ambush...

Paul lives close to my home and though i may not be close to him, i know him as a very hard working young man. The fist pix below was taken when he came home two weeks ago for a friends wedding.

What i keep wondering is if Buhari, Saraki or Dogara can lay down their lives for Nigeria like this young persons did...

Despite their oaths,Nigerian leaders are NOT willing to sacrifice EVEN minor pleasures like girlfriends for Nigeria talk more of their lives...

he took the part of life where the survival rate per day especially in war zone is very low. .. PMB took same part many years ago abd sacrificed a whole lot to keep this country as one as a soldier boy and making sure the country remains as one is another sacrifice PMB has embark on but as for saraki, dogara etc I really don't know if therr can even sacrifice anything for this country. ..
rip soldier boy.

I always ask is ben Bruce representing a constituency in lagos or Bayelsa?

bingo pure breed

well said bro..very sensible post

before u come here to condemn ganduje..u should ask ur state governor or government if there have any initiative like this in their four or eight years tenure before u open ur cavity to rant trash abt a governor dat have the interest of it people at heart. ..if a government can do dis in abt 15 months into power imagine wat will come out by d end of four years. .. we should be more concerned abt the payment method than the selling price. .

bionixs:
maybe your father was

why call my father on ur post?

GEJ was never president. ..ask PEJ she will confirm it.

these are the people condemning this government. ..well militants hope u guys are reading all this?

wailers will not read it oo rather they will wail dat it's a long post.

gben ghen

better sef....

license illegal refineries when there never got there crude supply from genuine source? licensing these guys is more or less giving amnesty to them cos there r criminals. .... there activity alone has cost government billions of cash... maybe if the word "amnesty" illegal refinery operators would convince me but not licensing them....

my opinion though.

I have always known this but the blinded wailers with hate all over their life will never see beyond their hatred for PMB neither will they agree with this statistics and yet there can't counter this post with facts. ...

shut up... this is not a point. ...Does that mean all politicians should be political scientists?

realmindz:

The denial begins, they were not christians right? ?

exactly. .lolz. .. we r on d same page... news like dis hardly makes front page but if it were Muslims stoned an elderly man to death nw eh... d new go be breaking news

church goers or church worshippers?

mrvitalis:

How dumb can one be... Niger Delta is different from south south
Get ur facts straight

exactly wat I was avoiding. ...u have been misled already. ..imo and Abia are south eastern state and were never part of the Niger Delta region ok. it's fair enough to call all the states mentioned as oil producing states than niger delta. . go back to ur geography before u reply me again

“Not minding the appropriate reaction by the APC on the misguided statement by the Rivers State PDP, the aim of this treatise becomes imperative as I attempt in this write-up to present the facts for you the reader to ascertain out of these three great sons of Niger Delta (Jonathan, Amaechi and Wike) who truly betrayed the Niger Delta region and her people. I am carrying this task after working at close quarters with these three key characters and most importantly being propelled with the burning patriotic desire to always educate the public on related issues and politics of Niger Delta region but before I go further on this task, let me take permission from you the reader, particularly those who may not know these characters properly, to present them to you accordingly”.



Who Really Betrayed the Niger Delta Region? Jonathan, Amaechi or Wike?



By Eze Chukwuemeka Eze



Preamble:

The main aim of this treatise is to unearth, among (Jonathan, Amaechi and Wike) three key sons of Niger Delta region of Nigeria who is or are the detractor(s) and betrayer(s) of the region. For avoidance of doubt, Niger Delta region comprises nine states, namely: Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Imo and Abia.

On the other hand, this treatise will concern itself with the major political actors and actions in Rivers State, as the state was the main theatre of the political war in the Niger Delta region, both now and in the past. The State is one of the 36 States of the federation, while its capital, Port Harcourt is the largest city in the region and is economically significant as the centre of Nigeria’s oil industry.

The fact remains that Rivers State has over the years evolved as the oil and gas nerve-centre of Nigeria. It has a growing population of about 5.1 million (the sixth most populous state in the country) and an impressive GDP of 21.07 billion USD – which is bigger than that of most African countries, such as Botswana, Rwanda, Nambia, Lesotho, etc.

The enviable economic and socio-political scorecard of Rivers State has made it a war theatre, occasioned by some unscrupulous politicians that use the youths to cause deaths and mayhem among the citizenry of the state and the region at large. Because of the significance of this city, the Niger Delta region is confronted with security challenges, especially illegal bunkering, piracy, cultism, oil pipeline destruction, kidnapping, armed robbery, political killings, etc.

In this treatise therefore, I will be relying mainly on three key releases: the Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) press statement alleging or rather accusing Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as betraying the Niger Delta region; the reaction of Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) refuting the PDP stand, stating that instead it is Dr Jonathan Goodluck and Governor Nyesom Wike, that are the main culprits in this regard.

I will also present the communiqué issued by the Amaechi-influenced peace imitative aimed at finding solutions to the restive state of the Niger Delta region, which was the issue of confrontation between the PDP and APC promoters. At the end of your reading, you will be left to judge who among these three key sons have actually betrayed the region.

PDP’s allegation against Amaechi

Now that the aim of this study is defined, let me for avoidance of any doubt state that the idea to write on this issue of betrayal stemmed from the PDP statement of Tuesday, September 27, 2016, issued by Jerry Needam on behalf of his boss, Bro Felix Obuah, chairman of the Rivers State chapter of PDP.

Though the statement was not titled, it was the party’s reaction to the peace initiative engineered by Rt. Hon Amaechi, erstwhile governor of Rivers State and current Federal Minister of Transportation, to restore peace to the restive region of Niger Delta.

According to PDP, “The vaunted Niger Delta Peace Initiative by the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, is another hidden device to test the waters for his political ambition in 2019.

The purported peace initiative is a ruse, as the forum is an assemblage of All Progressives Congress’ members put together to try to see if Amaechi’s huge credibility problem could be redeemed.

The people of Niger Delta whom Amaechi has grossly betrayed can never be deceived again and need not be told that the purported peace initiative is true to speculations, the mechanism Amaechi hopes to use to actualise his 2019 political ambition.

“Though he is day-dreaming, we are however, shocked that Amaechi, who has shamelessly brought so much insult to the people of Niger Delta, playing a major role in pushing out the son of the Niger Delta as the president of this country, in preference to his new-found love, and killer of his kinsmen (no thanks to the military invasion of Rivers State) will, against all odds, be nursing the ambition to launch a come-back to the region, after inflicting so much pains and agony on the people.”

Rivers APC’s reaction

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress aptly replied the venomous statement of PDP – on a man well known for his peaceful disposition – in its release of Wednesday, September 28, entitled “R/S PDP ‘Basket of Deplorables’ Must Leave Chibuike Amaechi Alone’ – R/S APC,” issued by its state publicity secretary, Chief Chris Finebone, which reads: “The attention of the Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has been drawn to a press statement by the Chairman of Rivers State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, Felix Obuah, and signed by his media aide, Jerry Needam, claiming that the recently convened Niger Delta stakeholders engagement meeting under the auspices of the Initiative for Peace, Governance and Development of the Niger Delta, was a platform for the Minister of Transportation, Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to burnish his political agenda. Ordinarily, the temptation is to ignore this PDP basket of deplorables who delight themselves with all manner of obscene immoderation every now and then. However, it is important to protect innocent Rivers people and Nigerians from the malevolent propaganda these diminished characters shamelessly place in public domain, by rolling back their mischief with discreet facts. A cursory reading of the PDP statement reveals an incoherent and disjointed write-up that can only come from authors who so urgently require medical look-in by the best hands that can be found around here.

“The few issues that can be pieced together from the statement point to the fact that Obuah and the PDP in Rivers State are still hurting from the exit of former President Jonathan from power. The APC would like to advise the PDP people to take another look at the national voting demographics of 2015 elections, and it will dawn on them that nothing [including massively rigged votes from Rivers State] would have saved the former president from defeat. Much more than that, the statement, in some ways, underscores the nexus between the hurting of 2015 election to wailing wailers, the spate of destruction of oil installations by the Avengers and other restive youths in the Niger Delta, and the recent blowing up of Shell trunk line to Bonny Export Terminal. Little wonder the PDP in Rivers State fails to see the need for peace, which the Abuja meeting was meant to bring about in the Niger Delta. Is anyone still wondering those behind the ongoing bombing and bursting of pipelines in the Niger Delta?

“The only other issue that can be deduced from the infantile seven-paragraph statement makes reference to betrayal of the Niger Delta by Amaechi, because the latter joined the APC and contributed his bit to the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. It is sad that an individual that sold his soul to Satan and connived with Wike to steal a political party structure in broad daylight could muster the courage to talk about betrayal. What betrayal can be more than that exhibited by a man that was shot and left to die but was rescued and flown abroad to save his life. The same man turned around later to bite the hand that God used to save him. Indeed, Obuah should not forget to tell his children the true story of his miserable life.

“For the avoidance of doubt, let it be known to all that Amaechi as governor of Rivers State never had differences with former President Jonathan over personal matters. Whether on the vexed issue of NLNG Train 7, which the former president refused to approve or the matter of Soku oil wells that were taken and handed to Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Abia states, and many other touchy issues, Amaechi was only driven by the oath of office he took to protect lives and property of Rivers people as governor. No more!

“If really the issue is about betrayal, it was, indeed, former President Jonathan that betrayed Amaechi, Rivers people and Niger Deltans. His betrayal is typified by the state of the East-West Road during his administration, the Bomu-Bonny road, the Port Harcourt International Airport, Soku oil wells, refusal to refund N105 billion spent on Federal Roads by Rivers State Government, and many other issues too numerous to be listed here. On the ridiculous reference to Amaechi’s supposed ambition for 2019, such contemplation only exists in the terribly deluded mind and helplessly battered imagination of Obuah and his cohorts. Amaechi does not harbour nor has he told anyone that he is nursing any political ambition come 2019. That is not how the minister is wired politically.

“The APC wishes to advise Bro Obuah and the PDP to find a more meritorious pastime to engage themselves in, so as to subdue the cheap craving to drag an innocent man down – a task that is clearly beyond their station and reach.”

Below is the Communiqué issued at the end of the Niger Delta Stakeholders Engagement Meeting Under the Auspices of the Initiative For Peace, Governance And Development of The Niger Delta Region on 24th September, 2016 at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja to discuss pressing issues relating to peace and sustainable development in the region and collectively fashion out pragmatic strategies to chart a way forward.

Imo and Abia are not part of Niger-delta make the correction fast before u mislead our young ones.

well said.... if our judicial system can be cleanse then Nigeria will be born again. .. The only way to get these notorious criminals is by 'operation commando'... if we want to go by the books or law of the land, these guys know the laws and even the loop holes of the law than anyone so COMMANDO STYLE is d koko...
carry go PMB
carry go DSS
Nigeria must be great again.

someone asked an important question here instead of providing him with the required answers with reference u guys are bitting abt the bush which obviously means u don't have answer to his question..

Tolubory:



First, we like to reiterate the position that importation of Rice remains banned through our Land Borders, and we have the commitment of Partner Government Agencies and Stakeholders to enforce this restriction. While this restriction is in force, Rice imports through the Ports are still allowed subject to payment of extant charges




So
Ki ni difference ?

guess u need some clarification bro.... over 95% of foreign rice u see in Nigeria are being smuggled into the country through land boarders hence the smugglers don't pay their tax and charges to the government that's why only sea and airport boarders are only allowed for rice import but this same smugglers refuse to do the right thing till date that's y we r facing this hardship.

NB..
u must not agree with me on this but it's a genuine truth cos av been through it via niger-katsina boarders before.

tolugar:

How exactly is this buhari's fault.

bros na wailing things oo.... u knw we must wail na ..lol

Uniben4sure:
