Politics / Re: Has Anyone Considered Ibori For President? by sirify(m): 6:00pm On Aug 29, 2006
Who is talking about IBB being the president what has that got to do with me. Pls spare me the trouble or has anger made u to lash out at anything.

I think u guys should take ur case to abuja to get another state or can't we learn to live in peace. What difference does it make where the capital is or would you make a case becasue the Capital of Nigeria is Abuja ( a dry land that produces no resources). Let me tell you something you don't know and that is why the southern part of the country fails to produce a president (except there is a concencus by the North to give it to us for eg 1999) because they have sowed the seed of seperate southern region and an indivisible nothern region that iw why when there is a political conference the north comes as one indivisible part and the south would come as the 3 different region.

The problem really is how we see the problem. Answer this questions trully and you would see that no matter where the capital lies the niger delta people would suffer teribly until it gets to understand that the common igbo, yoruba or even hausa man is his problem.

What really is keeping the Niger delta from developing 40% Government 60% south south leaders.
Alams was gaining my admiration because of the way he was fighting for the cause of his people alas what happens he takes the little one he ws given away (if he had total resource control what would have happened).

Again apart from derivation policy (other factors such as landmass and population contribute to the allocation so you would agree that the igbo speaking part at least has a share in the allocation of the state. I was never and would never ask the state givernment to use the 13/25% derivation in the non oil producing area but the left over should be shared. But i assue that both the left over and the derivation is squandered so much that the problem still persist.

The leaders of the NIger delta contribute to the problem and until they are made to face and brace up to the challenges the situation would not change no matter how the states are realligned.

PLS what is wrong is wrong even if it is the norm. Ethnicity is bad enough

Better tell your son to make a first class and learn how to manage his success than teach him to be a failure and sturggle to make a name or something out of himself.
It is not enough to look at popular figures from outside and just conclude so many things about them. If u ask Gani I'm sure he would have loved the first class more than the 3rd class, at least I am sure he would scold his child if he/she comes home with A repeat the class result.
I tell u the most important thing in life is managing success and not getting it but u can't manage it if u don't have it. So use all the strebght you have in you to seek for the top. That is why my principle/motor in life as always been "NO PAIN NO GAIN"

I wonder how people reson and say things they are not sure of. How can Sunny Odogwu be the inlaw to IBB when he is not from the same village as his wife in asaba. Or is that you don't know the difference between Odogwu and Okogwu (IBBs wife maiden Name is Okogwu and the brother is Sonny Okogwu different from the industrailist sonny odogwu) better check your facts next time before you deceive those that are not aware.

You said Asaba was a village by the Niger before the creation of delta state. Well if u don't know history then keep quiet (I'm not a historian anyway) the first Premier of the whole mid western region was Chief Dennis OSadebe (an Asaba man), One of Nigeria most popular and influential perm sec in the 1970's was Chief Philip Asiodu, Hope u are also aware of the lander brothers ancorage in asaba. See I'm not here to join issues with you over unnecessary matters, the truth is that we are not suppose to be promoting ethnic and tribal interest at this age, this is the major reason Nigeria has remained backward because whoever is in the helm of affairs is right as far as he/she shares the same tribal affiliations with us.

As a matter of fact that Asaba is the capital of delta state or that IBB redefined the meaning of Delta by including the Igbo speaking part has absolutely nothing to do with the underdevelopment of your region and if the core things are left undiscussed and treated holistically then even if Asaba and other igbo speaking part are removed from delta state and handed to Cameroun or Ghana the problem would still linger.

Ibori has done nothing of note in the igbo speaking part of delta so if you can go round the non-igbo speaking part I want you to check the infrastructure and other developmental projects he has carried out and compare it to his monthly allocation.

Take a look at the governor of CrossRiver state. He has taken crossriver to the envy of most people. He takes an intellignet man to know where the potential of his state lies and to utilise it. If there is any present serving governor that would win my vote its is only Donald Duke. You don't have make noise and celebrate your achievements, achievements by Nature celebrate themselves.

I love my brothers from the core Niger Delta, (I have very good friends from there well reasoned ones anyaway) and I always try to defend their actions when i am faced with the question OH YOU ARE FROM THAT TERRIBLE STATE, THOSE HOSTAGE TAKERS. (though sometimes I am embarrased. But when I am made to feel like a second class citizen in my state coupled with the embarrasment i am faced with daily then I pray everyday for our own state.

I REST MY CASE COS I WOULD NEVER READ THIS SECTION AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
LETS LEARN TO DROP ETHNIC COLOURATION TO MATTERS IN THIS COUNTRY

Mobil is just slightly higher than that.
Politics / Re: Has Anyone Considered Ibori For President? by sirify(m): 8:40am On Aug 28, 2006
Asaba might be an aberration or whatever u guys like but the capital of delta state is asaba and they is absolutely nothing u can do about it. Just wait for 2007, the governorship of Delta State would be coming to Delta North Senatorial district.

As for Ibori becoming the president I have only one thing to say. “Who dash Monkey Bannana”

Politics / Re: What Do You Think Of Malam Nuhu Ribadu? by sirify(m): 3:18pm On Aug 22, 2006
Because, he is selective in his action.
Politics / Re: What Do You Think Of Malam Nuhu Ribadu? by sirify(m): 2:35pm On Aug 22, 2006
What has Ribadu done? When was globacom started, Adenuga, IBB, Atiku has all been existing since 1999 why is it now that there is a noticable enemity between Baba Obasanjo and Atiku (and by extension to all those close to him) that EFCC is now beginning to root out different things and allegations.


What about other corrupt government officials and businessmen or is that EFCC is not seeing them or is not aware that they exist.


What is EFCC waiting for, to throw those that ran down SGBN (lets not call names) into jails and throw away the keys. Those guys used pple money to run election.


Examples of corrupt officials/businessmen are everywhere but until EFCC shows it is impartial I guess we look at other pple for the award of Times Man of the year
