This man left the whole ND to focus on Bayelsa alone. Fed Uni Bayelsa too

I don't get it.

thomasthomas:
I like your last sentence and that can only happen when you have a keen focused and visionary leader and not a media hype spend drift and election rigger!

Lack of intergrity on INEC's part fueled the election rigging tendencies of our leaders too. Could you imagine what would have happened if Akpabio and AkwaIbom PDP was left to the fate of the people? They would have listened to you and I, knowing fully that they can win our support but can't steal it and Akwa Ibom would have had her industries in full blast. INEC is highly culpable. Even though it took a Northern agenda for the Owners of Nigeria to counter election rigging tendencies.

OP is trying to say ben bruce had the total power to run NTA aground.

lyntiffany:
Bro all we want is a great and progressive nation and we can only do that in gaining access to this kind of information which will help us to keep our leaders in check.
Permit me to say that am a fan of akpabio and he has done tremendously well as regards to infrastructural development but in terms of industrializing akwaibom state he did absolutely nothing.
All the places the op pointed out are in existence but not functioning, he should have at least revived two or more so that the youths of the state can have something doing but as it stands now every graduate in akwaibom state only awaits for civil service or bank job to earn his or her living where as a whole lot of industries are allowed to waste.
Pls bro let's call a spade a spade , let us join hands and move this nation forward for our own betterment.

Thanks for the enlightenment. I am a fan of Aregbe and feel he is a top performing governor in terms of Industry based development and infrastructure but wouldn't stop criticizing him in a bid to get the best out of him. Akpabio ought to have revived those industry completely and turn Akwa Ibom to an industrial hub that can employ the unemployed, generate income via tax, and positioned his people for a life after and outside oil. It is funny how people think every politician must be given only 100% or 0% mark, a total support or no support in all things. Akwa Ibom is far better placed to beat Ogun state in terms of industrialization.

Very soon they will get Shekau. I heard he fled to ISIS stronghold.

Buhari to the final rescue.

I am against Cramjones on this one.
The message the messenger is preaching is too weighty for us to start muddling it with the identity of the messenger here, if it takes ex-thieves and usurper to liberate us from the shackles of 70% recurrent expenditure, then so be it. Murray Bruce ride on.

Ymodulus:
You are very right. Recently I have been seeing then for who they really are. I just don't understand why their hatred , and anger boils in them at no cause. If I wasn't atheist I would have said they are cursed people

They are like ISIS but they draw inspiration from no particular source but greed and glory.

Last minute projects. Where are Nigeria based construction company?

Point of correction this is not a 2 months project and can't be tagged a last minute project.

babajero:
there is no difference between ss and se, igbos cannot get biafra and neglect their brothers and sisters in your so called ss.

Everybody has the right to self determination abi!
SS don't want to share with anybody, they don't want to share 'it' with people who voted them into union one Nigeria . . . Lol

Really! How is marginalisation measured? Whatever they do they shouldn't forget to separate SS from SE.

Everybody has the right to self
determination and the SS don't want to share with anybody, they don't want to share 'it' with people who voted them into union one Nigeria . . . Lol

The Yorubas did not vote collectively but individually. OP, step up, your thread is wack.

The north once had tin and it is on record that the tin producing north willing gave what was demanded of them by the law, in fact most SE/SS (old Eastern region) liked the idea and voted against other regions leaving them alone in 'one Nigeria'.

Character is the keyword.
Many don't know the expectation of character part of their standards.

shadowgwalker:
illiterate! where did you see 'prosecute '?

Did u type this from the shadow brain or the real brain?
Did I tell u prosecute is what is written in the article? Otondo bigot!!!

They simply followed the national cake

I remember after a particular meeting by some key Northerners they came out and started hinting us abt the ungovernable next few years we will be witnessing.

He he he

What do you expect when you choose not to prosecute others.

talktimi:
Any state that depends on fg allocation to pay salaries should be scrapped. It's shameful for Aregbesola to be making noise in the midst of vast opportunities in Osun state

If Aregbe is in the midst of vast opportunity what do we say of Bayelsa were natural gas littered all over the state can power any industry imaginable? Aregbesola is still a top 5 or 6 governor any day any time

BlackTechnology:



Did the Osun governor tell you that Buhari rejected his call for more free oyelllll money


Guy you are about to become a cocoa farmer again.

What is wrong with cocoa farming? Look, there are no dirty jobs but dirty men.
The above can be deduced from the Nigerian oil romance story. Before oil came there was life, and by life, I mean a better life. So what's your stress about oil. If care is not taken that oil of your neighbor you so much crave will be will worthless than the pipeline and tankers carrying them going by global trends. How many of the so called owners-of-the-oil governors have done half of what Aregbesola has done in terms of IGR? Your bigotry may not let see what I am after by criticizing Aregbe here, but don't confuse it with him being anywhere near as clueless as your regional leaders.

Gbawe:
Look, don't believe the OP. He is one of those happy to work himself into a frenzy over "dem say dem say" gossip likely the work of mischief-makers. Same way some of us commonsensically insisted Soyinka could not have spewed all that ethnocentric bile against the Igbos is how any adult can deduce that Buhari would be unfit and unwilling to make any official statement , in favour of either the FG or State governors, about allocation to Nigerian States.

The fact is that Buhari is not officially part of the Government yet whereas the likes of Aregbesola are. In all the interviews Buhari has given so far he has made it clear he will always 'confer' with his Party and will only comment after being aware of all relevant information. It therefore makes no sense for Buhari to speak when he is officially in no position to comment on an issue as delicate as allocation to States of Nigeria. Disregard the OP and his kind. We must remember that they accused Buhari of running a "parallel Government" merely because he was receiving guests in Abuja. What will then be made of Buhari talking about allocation to States which happens to be information he should not be privy to yet let alone be commenting on?

Assuming even Okonjo-Iweala took the 'information' to Buhari personally, then what manner of President-elect would Buhari be if naively willing to comment on anything provided to him by the ultra-corrupt outgoing Government when he can simply wait till after May 29 to verify whatever information he has received and gauge reality for himself?

I think you made 100 percent sense!
Since it was officially a rumoured report, it will be safer to treat the report with some level(high) of care. That being said, I think most state are in debt because of lack of vision and zeal for the masses. Aregbe is an example but still far more better than most of his colleagues.

BlackTechnology:
Comrade

If voting a Buhari will lead to the complete destruction of SW hypocrisy, I will advice you to do so


The SW has shown their true colour of being the hypocrities who undermine the progress of Southern Nigeria


Comrade


The SW must be forced to eat this CHANGE they clamour for. A CHANGE I know will hunt and hurt them.


Comrade


We must help Jonathan finish this fight by encouraging Buhari to purge the SW dominated Federal Civil Service of corruption

We know those who can't build political ally beyond their nose. Those who are ready to make porridge with their vomit and go on a begging spree for political appointments. Those who have been recycling their political and economic vomit since before independence. People who will rather crash Nigeria to justify their mistakes.

BlackTechnology:
God bless you

The fact of the matter is that Yorubas will suffer so much in the next 8years or more for their hypocrisy

Despite OBJ first term failure, the Yorubas voted massively for their son during his second term bid to the point that they lost their party ALLIANCE For Democracy to PDP

Yet these hypocrites were shouting CHANGE despite the fact that GEJ out performed OBJ


God is not mock

Yorubas are about to really suffer for their treachery and this time around , the support they do get from SS is gone forever.





Buhari

Prove us wrong that you are not

BABA ONE CHANCE

BABA HYPOCRITE

BABA MAGICIAN


Prove us wrong by probing


Tinubu OBJ Saraki Atiku Rochas Amaechi


Prove us wrong by probing the corrupt Federal Civil Servant which is dominated by Tinubu's people


Sir

Tinubu's people voted you because they believe they can steal the oil wealth and presidency through you


They believe Tinubu through Osinbajo can control your government the way Idiagbon did


Sir

They do not believe in change because if they do, they would have voted you in 2007 and 2011


Remember that you are a descendant of Usman Dan Fodio


WISE UP

May you not run completely mad very soon.
Same Yorubas who you choose to accuse out of blind hate are the very who people stood up for Jonathan when he was relatively unknown to them in 2010-2011. They voted him in 2011 and 2015 massively. The fact that the contest in SW between both major candidates was a close one simply points to the fact the occupants of SW are much more independently minded and did not lay back for for few miscreant to help spite their percieved enemy with massive rigging.

Its nice to hear that states are not being owed allocations. @OP, I think Osun annual allocation is closer to N25B than N50B.
This is why the states must go beyond sharing of funds to people and start getting involved in industrial developments. Imagine if Osun had replicated the idea of Omoluabi Garment Factory the funds he wasted on Oyes, Feeding, OponImo and many other exorbitant expenses like ghost workers and political office holders salaries. The ultimate will be industries, even if it means creating small industrial hubs and powering them with diesel plants of 500 KW or more. Aregbe could have gone further to establish farms and food processing factories to compliment what's available in Osun state already.
I think it is high time the FG makes power generation flexible and allow more financially flboyant states like Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and co start firing power plants.
