Well, for a region devoid of natural resources in comparison with their southern counterpart,and a region overwhelmed with the most influencial and volatile set of people since the civil war it shouldn't come as a surprise if demographic figures are overbloated in their favor in order to attract more monthly allocations.
Now, the issue of amnesty is a bad idea, when this bloody appeasement tool was initiated it wasn't such a bad idea to compensate murderers for being murderers, I might as well just initiate my own group too and focus my attacks on the political class.

As for the issue with that boaster Amaechi, you wonder how such a guy was able to win best governor of the year some time ago despite how terribly "unbeautiful" portharcourt has become under him. Asari, conspiracy is here to stay and a person such as yourself are of a questionable persona as well. GBAM!

Icetech:

I wish GEJ and his crew could start with option 7, 9,and 10 with IBB and Buhari included in option 10.

Knowing the kinda country we are in, these 3 could take a rly long time, that's why I began with the short term responses.

payless:


Tell us why the Governor should not continue to be the Governor of the state. Was it because he sent the policemen there? I blame no one but the incompetent police force. This could have happened anywhere in Nigeria.

Being a leader also requires taking responsibility for the incompetence of ur surbordinates in this case the governor as the leader and commissioner as surbordinate.

MrNigeria.:

After a very long silence, The Honourable has decided to speak about the political brouhaha going on in Rivers state,Hear him :

I am in perfect simulacrum with you Mr Governor that there is indeed no quarrel between you and Mr President but you won't deny the existence of a state of political roforofoism and the difference between the two is one of a tweedledum and tweedledee....

Would like hear the asseverations of my friends on the political malodorous saga that is putrescently cocooning Rivers State,just now and thus precipitously corralling it into an eschewable socio-politico asphyxia...

Please can someone translate this to English for us?

"Roforofoism? Wtf? There we go again with people thinking their over-educated or something. I have completely forgotten what the main point was.

1.Create a special military unit trained by isreali intelligence, integrate them into the society.
2. Seal off the terrorist strongholds of borno, nassarawa and maiduguri.
3.Issue a warning to all suurrounding countries "if any are suspected of nonchalantly harbouring terrorists against the interests of the federation, Nigeria shall consider severing all ties with such nations that would ofcourse include all aids and grants.
4. Put both of the chinese made nigerian satellites to better use in intel gathering and have Japan create a new one for exclusive military use (ofcourse this would not be officially anounced)
5.Boko haram must agree to an unconditional surrender.
6.Strengthen and sanitize the customs service in order to prevent illegal importation of arms and IEDs from land locked countries and beyond.
7.Have the maiduguri state national assembly pass a vote of no confidence in their governor (the deposition of a northern governor would make the others more aware of their grim situation, this should hopefully boost performance)
8.Illegalize religious gatherings held at late hours of the night or suffer a 3 year jail term.
9.Clamp down on the nations warlords by winnning over their support using every means possible and striking them (legally) when they are most vulnerable.
10. Have shekau killed
Estimated time of accomplishment: 5 years

Elements in the Niger government is sponsoring boko haram,that is an act of war.

If this country were like that great country in south east asia that nassarawa governor would have taken responsibility and resigned for failing as a chief security officer of what has recently come to be known as one of the top 5 most dangerous states in the federation.

If the police had considered this traditionist to be so dangerous to have stemmed the deployment of 12 truckloads of officers, why didn't they have air support, why didn't they have a unit to gather intel about civil activity within the area as well as the ammunition available to the traditionist's supporters, if they did have such a unit they could have discovered the so called superstitious activities of the militia and taken the necessary steps to curtail them. Its no news that the strategem the nigerian police work with is outdated and faced with the current deteriorating security situation in the nation its only a matter of time before another group shows up to embarass the entire security outfit of the nation once again. Needless waste of security resources, inadequate funds, insufficient use of common sense, naivety are just some of many words that could be used to describe the nations police force. How sad for those lowly paid officer to have stumbled unto the afterlife unannounced because of the blatant misconception of their superiors.
