You simply need to be ashamed of ur self.
if u do travel then ur neighbour Akwa ibom is still a destination any day, calabar xmas carnival is by far d best compared to dt one road movenmt,Enugu is doing very wel, jigawa is not doing badly at all to mention but a few.
let look at how much d Governor goes home wt n now compare n contrast.......... The next time u post tins like dis i will b forced to post d pix of how sad port-harcourt is not forgeting how under developin n horrible looking the Governors village is......dont push me

Ricky_Ross: I am not supporting the extravagant lifestyle of our governors, but the way some fools are trash talking Rivers State is alarming. Can you all mention the names of your respective states so we can compare with Rivers State? Outside of Lagos State, which other Nigerian city is as developed as Port Harcourt? Someone said he spent 2 weeks in Rivers state and enjoyed only few hours of electricity? Which village is that? Thats what you get when you live in the ghetto... My own part of PHC i have standard road networks and we enjoy minimum 18 hours of power daily, sometimes the electricity lasts 3 days non stop...

I live in PHC, but someone comes from outside the state, spends 2 weeks in Port Harcourt and automatically he now knows PHC more than everyone else.

I must admit, Amaechi did wonders during his first term, and he is very slow now, but he is far ahead of most of your state governors hands down. What Amaechi achieved in the educational sector no other state governor can achieve in 8 years. Primary and secondary schools in River state are far more advanced and more equipped than many of your state universities, this is no joke. All over Rivers state, he built state of the art health centers.

If you are wondering what Amaechi is doing now, then take a trip to the GREATER PORT HARCOURT CITY. Thats where I built my house and that's where all the mega projects are going on. The World class hospital, world class roads, the best stadium in Nigeria, the Rivers state university of science and technology etc are at advanced stages of construction. There are too numerous projects in the GPHC to mention here. You either pay a visit to confirm, or you Google it.

Rivers state does not need this private jet, I am not from Rivers, I am not singing anyone praises, but I say things the way they are. From the way people are talking shiit here a stranger will assume PHC is a kinda shit hole. They should start by telling us what their own state governors have done better than Amechi. Akpabio should build the kind of world class schools in rivers bc that is what the poor masses need, not some Tropicana resorts and 5 star hotels that are for the rich only.

Ricky_Ross:

I am not from Rivers state, I am not Ikwerre man, I am Igbo from Imo State, so stop persecuting me. I have right to my opinion and you have yours. many of you ranting here didn't do nothing while Odili was busy looting and paying the media to rate him as the best governor in Nigeria. None of you said nothing, now someone is doing something and you guys are cryinghuh? I was here when Odili came to power and we all rejoiced and thought he was the messiah, but he wasted 8 years looting and stealing. He didn't do any road apart from the Eliozu road which collapsed last month. The state of road in PHC was terrible.

Tell me how any right thinking man would expect Amaechi to fix all the roads under 5 years? If you are honest you will admit Amaechi has tried as far as road construction is concerned, the problem is many of the contracts were given to Rivers people who are not qualified for the job.

Is Amaechi trying YES, is he perfect NO.
Did Odili leave any legacy in Rivers NO, apart from the fact that he was caught with 100 million dollars or so in South Africa and he later claimed the fund was for purchase of an aircraft.
Did Amaechi leave any legacy YES: He built the best primary and secondary schools in Nigeria. These schools are scattered all over the state for all to see. These schools are world class, more equipped than our government universities, maybe that is the part that is paining many of you? But these schools are on google for those too far away from Rivers. Amaechi has done very well in healthcare delivery, I don't know which governor that have done better than Amaechi in that area. If Amaechi can deliver on his promise of uninterrupted electricity come December then I will comfortably rate him among the top 3 best governors in Nigeria.

zeal500:


Odili- brought d 1st town bus,brt or moluwe
odili renovated schools just as Amaechi
odili did d slaughter bridge n Eliozu
odili did d Nlng road

Rick Ross simply go and hide......Odili n Amaechi are birds of the same feather(s). i will suggest u go and get ur facts right....'no bi to use billions dualiz road', we want change dt we can c
support gd governance n it will b well wt ur generations yet unborn

EPOMA:
Godswill just bought the second jet, so which lesson are they going to learn, Nigeria is messed up period

Nduson20: nawa 4 u o. Jst wondering d kind of mentality u have. We'r talkng abt a state where 90% of pple are sufferng,many displaced by flood,bad roads,hardship and u'r here supporting evil.may God change ur mentality.

ocelot2006:

The governor is not the cause of the flood. But he ought to have used those funds to aid those displaced and/or put in place civil infrastructures that will ease the plight of the people and probably divert the flood waters within the affected areas. That ought to have been his priority, not a new business jet.

Ricky_Ross:

Pray you will be opportune to travel as much as I do. Enugu people are crying like Rivers people. I have been in and out of Enugu. I hardly spend weekends in PHC bc there are no tourists facilities. Enugu governor did well in his second term, just like Amechi, we all know he is sleeping like Amaechi and the rest. I have no time to waste on animals like you. You are not worth my 2 seconds.

ibrokay: Amaechi's second term is just a scam. I went to PHC last month and i couldn't find any improvement, The roads are in bad shape and you can hardly point to any good drianage in the town.

Rooneyboy:

The state is in complete shambles my sister.

Prior to my visit, when ever I heard PH I used to think it was a very beautiful city, but on my arrival I was so disappointed.

Bad roads ,
Stayed there for about two weeks and saw light for about 45 minutes.

Dude,dats flexing. I recently moved cos in 7 months, I had light f like 1week.

Really, I DEY SHAME FOR MY COUNTRY.

Abagworo:

You insult me for making my views known, who then is the tout here? My challenge is still open to you Amaechi haters. Amaechi has done more in everything than all the past Rivers State Governors combined( From 1967 to 2007). That's 40 years against 5. Let us compare in length of roads constructed, primary and secondary schools, health care centres, traffic orderliness(TIMARIV).

The bad roads in Port Harcourt are Woji, Iwofe(under construction), Elelenwo and East-West road. This government has reconstructed Azikiwe road, Station road and most roads inside old Port Harcourt town and changing them to underground drainage with walkways. Same with Trans-Amadi and Amadi-Abuloma area. The entire GRA is under reconstruction with underground drainage and walkways too. Tell me what this man will do that will be enough. Let's not forget Okporo road(Rumuodara), Oginigba,Rumuomasi, Rumuobiokani axis. Can you recall how Rumuola road used to be? What of the kind of flooding at NTA road(Around redeemed Church) in the past. There's ongoing construction of a dual link road from Ozuoba to Ogbogoro.

Ricky_Ross:

You guys should be honesty with yourselves. Are you honestly trying to say Odili performed better than Amaechi? What is the exchange rate of naira against the dollar when Odili was in power? Compare a cup of garri then and now? How much does it cost to do a kilometer road during Odillis regime?

You said each secondary school costs 4 Billion Naira? How much will it then cost to construct a university? Where did you get your facts?

ccwizard:

Yes it costs N4b. The Governor said it With his own mouth during on on the end of the month meeting with stakeholders in the state. A state that has received over N1trillion within 5yrs and nothing to show for it.

ccwizard: Ameachi Was the speaker during odilli's 8yrs in office n yet he'll always say he knew nothing about what happen during that tenure. My problem with ameachi is the quality of the roads done. U hear billions spent of 1 road n in less than a year the road begins to go bad. To be sincere when it comes to stealing Ameachi is worse than Odilli.

Abagworo:

Why are you being mischievous? Some of those primary schools were awarded for 150million while the highest I saw was 350million. The cost depends on the size and terrain. The 4billion is a fabrication.

Yesterday, May 31, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi signed a bill which would basically ensure that he continues to enjoy the perks of the governor’s office after leaving the office. The bill, which is titled The Rivers State Governor and Deputy Governor Pensions and Fringe Benefits Bill 2012, is the brainchild of the executive and was forwarded from the Governor’s Office to the House of Representative for a speedy passage.

Despite protestations from pressure groups in the state, the Rivers State House of Assembly went ahead to pass the bill on the 22nd of May by an overwhelming majority. And the sweetened deal was finalised yesterday with Governor Amaechi’s assent.

Consequently, Amaechi and his deputy, Tele Ikuru are entitled upon exit from office to benefits worthy of Wall Street executives, including:

100 per cent of their basic salaries
Two choice houses in any area of their choice in Rivers State and Abuja.
Three cars, replaceable every three years.
300 per cent funding for any furniture of their choice.
20 per cent funding for utility, 10 per cent funding for entertainment and 10 per cent of same for houses of their choice.
Free medical expenses for him and his immediate family.
Security details that will include two officials of the State Security Service (SSS), one female officer of the same department and eight police officers for personal and domestic security.
Domestic staff including a cook, steward, gardener, and others. All the domestic staff, including drivers shall be pensionable.

In addition to the executive perquisites bill, other bills signed into law by the governor on Wednesday include the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Amendment Bill 2012, the Rivers State Senior Secondary Schools’ Board Bill 2012, the Rivers State House of Assembly Service Commission Amendment Bill 2012 and the Rivers State Water Sector Development Law 2012.
