I love to look classy and well-dressed whenever I step out of my car. I take pride in my appearance and believe that dressing well speaks volumes about one’s personality and self-confidence.

The road is good. The only problem is the extortionists who call themselves police. Even when your vehicle documents are in order, they will look for other ways to intimidate you into giving them money. Just use recording glasses to capture their unlawful activities as evidence.

Bayelsa Is Nigeria’s Most Misgoverned State Under Diri — Donald Duke South-South Solidarity Group Berates Governor Diri

A FACTUAL RESPONSE TO THE CRITICS OF GOVERNOR DOUYE DIRI’S ADMINISTRATION

One cannot fairly assess Governor Douye Diri’s administration without considering the changes that have taken place in Bayelsa State since he assumed office.

Before Diri became governor, access to Yenagoa, the state capital, was heavily dependent on a single major road corridor. Today, his administration has constructed and completed additional roads providing alternative routes into the capital. This is a significant infrastructural development that deserves recognition when assessing his administration’s performance.

The argument that the gas turbine commissioned under his administration never worked is equally misleading in light of its current operational status. The turbine is now functioning effectively, providing electricity around the clock to the state. Rather than continuing to describe it as a failed project, critics should acknowledge its current performance and assess the actual benefits it delivers to residents.

Furthermore, Diri’s administration has procured cars and buses to improve transportation and ease the movement of people within the state. These are practical interventions that can contribute to mobility and public convenience.

His administration has also maintained the payment of civil servants’ salaries as and when due, while pension payments have been made to retirees. For workers and pensioners who depend on these payments to meet their daily needs, this is an important aspect of governance that should form part of any balanced assessment.

Donald Duke’s achievements as governor of Cross River State can be acknowledged without dismissing the developments taking place in Bayelsa. Every administration operates under different circumstances, and comparisons should be based on verifiable projects, measurable outcomes, and the conditions each governor inherited.

If anyone claims that Governor Diri has failed, the appropriate response is to examine the evidence: the roads constructed, the electricity generated, the transportation facilities provided, and the record of salary and pension payments. Equally, any allegations of corruption, wasteful expenditure, or abandoned projects should be supported by credible evidence.

Governance should be assessed on the basis of facts, not personal insults or politically motivated generalisations.

Bayelsa State still has challenges that require attention, and no responsible person should suggest that every problem has been solved. However, acknowledging those challenges should not mean ignoring completed projects and improvements that residents can experience.

The people of Bayelsa deserve a balanced assessment of their government—one that recognises achievements, identifies shortcomings, and demands accountability where necessary.

That is the standard that should guide every discussion about Governor Douye Diri and the development of Bayelsa State.

I did not speak for the governor. This is my personal view

Donald is someone I hold in very high regard in this country, but I respectfully disagree with his description of Bayelsa State under Governor Douye Diri as being poorly governed.

Bayelsa has had several governors since its creation, and in my assessment, Douye Diri ranks among the best of them, particularly in infrastructure development. The number of roads his administration has constructed and completed, in my view, surpasses the combined achievements of his predecessors in that area.

When it comes to infrastructural development, Douye Diri has made significant contributions that deserve recognition. While every administration has its strengths and weaknesses, it is unfair to overlook these achievements when assessing his performance.

With all due respect to Donald Duke, I believe he is not sufficiently informed about the current realities and level of development in Bayelsa State to make such a sweeping judgment. A fair assessment should be based on verifiable facts and an understanding of the actual situation on the ground.

He should not bother to come. The country they used to have their military bases did not know peace, let him let us manage our insecurity without him coming to embolden the terrorist

The 7th book of Moses is an occult literature. Reading the book itself doesn’t have problem, it is when you start practicing what you read, voices will start talking to you and you will think you have possess the higher power. Before you will realize it you have gone beyond and above

Between Israel and Poland, my advice would be to consider Poland, especially if your goal is long-term stability, career development, and a better future. Poland also offers access to the wider European job market, although your right to work in other European countries will depend on your immigration status.

Israel may offer attractive salaries in certain sectors, but the security situation is an important factor to consider.

However, don’t decide based on the country alone. Compare the actual salary, accommodation, working hours, taxes, job security, and the terms of your work permit. A good job offer in Israel could be better than a poor one in Poland.

Since your sponsor is covering your travel expenses, make sure the sponsorship and employment contract are genuine, and that you understand any obligations attached to them before making your final decision.

There is nothing bad in that. Let him also experience what he made others to go through

This one is not useful for anything

That man may not get the diesel he is expecting from Russia, because Ukraine has just hit one of the ports Russia use for export and they are ready to hit more

Why did they not come to tell Buhari to resign when he was in power?

That money would be better spent strengthening the fight against terrorism and improving the security of Nigerians. How many Nigerians can even afford airfare these days? Why spend such a huge amount on aircraft when their usefulness may become limited within a few years? There are more pressing needs that deserve the government’s attention and resources.

No wonder they say the world and everything about it is vanity. This man must have deprived himself of many things and even go hungry at times just to save this money, now he is no more to enjoy them

It seems like more than half of them are into drugs if not all of them

No. All of them have different kind of red flags but some of the red flags are more noticeable than others just like men too

Instead of setting a poll, you started asking anyhow questions. The subsidy that they hid behind while stealing our fuel and exporting it to other countries, causing serious scarcity every December—let the subsidy finally go.

Atiku, who is using the subsidy issue to campaign, doesn’t even seem to know what to campaign on. He appears very confused about the real problems facing this country.

Her message in French to me reads in English:

Tell me, James, do you know a good marabout in Nigeria who could help me find protection against evil spirits and the dishonest, ill-intentioned people around me?


I told her Jesus is my power and not marabout. Anytime she's ready to open up about what she faces spiritually she should open up.

I WONT BE THE PERSON TO TELL HER THAT HER MOTHER IS A WITCH.
PROBABLY SHE IS THE ONE SHE IS REFERRING TO AS "ILL-INTENTIONED PEOPLE AROUND ME" BUT ASHAMED TO OPEN UP TO ME.

God sent you to that place to open a church to deliver his people but you left them under the same bondage you met them. God will send another person very soon. The gospel has not fully penetrate that place

Tinubu winning will shock you people

That is when you are elected. But Nigeria youth are not ready to go back to farm now.

His family will see this now they will start crying. It is too costly to live a criminal life

NATO = 33 countries + USA.

North Korea, Iran & China na 34 countries abi?

Aside North Korea, mention who else don send troops to assist Russia?

For supporting a country which decides to invade another country to capture territorie, you are a person of particular concern and neighbors need to be careful with you

In your poll you mentioned Ukraine/NATO but out of your own sentiment you did not include Russia/North Korea/China/Iran.
Make shame Dey catch Una small. God will always support the oppressed

The father have spoken. Tinubu should be left alone to do his 8 years. He is doing better than his predecessor.
After all, the South still retains the presidency for another term

If you don’t want to die young, just dissolve the relationship. When they told you to leave single mothers alone, some of you started displaying ignorance, forgetting that what elders see, the younger ones may not understand.
