one naira, i understand the faca that u dont stay in nigeria thats why you are talking blindly. I also believe you left this country out of frustration the frustration that the people are facing today.

I thank GEJ for Engineering the Destruction of Useless dis body, the Governor's Forum.. Now, its diff fractions just read out their Mere OPINIONS. Next....

RealSleek:



I wonder why some people cnt project beyond ethnicity ....its sickening...

shut up

Symphony007: you see why i said you should keep off this debate because the cracks in your understanding of it will become glaring.

Firstly, ameachi has not abandoned his responsibilities as governor despite all he is going through. I was surprised to see him lastv week in old port harcourt township inspectng the new intergrated cultural center under construction and some roads, what about your president who went nigerian children are languishing at home, he is busy calming nerves in his party so he can be president again 2015. How many meeting has he held with ASUU? How many meetings has he held with PDP governor, party leaders, etc..get the figures and know where his priorities lie.

Secondly the head of police in rivers state and every state is a commissioner, not DPO, and the reason he is disrespecting the governor is because he is a tool of the president. Even the strongest jonathan supporter here can attest to that fact.

dude, do you reside in rivers state? If No, visit before lie to everyone. If Yes, continue with the lie.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

I don't live in Nigeria so anything political about the nation does not impact me but NOI have contributed to the development of my state. Thanks to her, the nation you live in paid off most of its debt. It was she that suggested to publish each state's monthly financial allocation from the federal government in an effort to increase transparency of government. It was she that suggested to remove the fuel subsidy scam that you all threw a temper tantrum over until some Hausa guy gave one a breakdown of how beneficial the suggestion was. She equally suggested a budget that would improve the unemployment rate of your nation.

Until Amaechi and his corrupt governors can achieve half of the ish this woman has done and helped half of the people and the nation this woman have helped, then they have the right to attack her. Until then he and his 13 corrupt governors should sit down and focus on their work. They are governors, not thugs.

bookmarked for future references

Symphony007: i suggest you continue keeping quiet because your voice has no effect whatsoever on this debate, so save us the rancour.

it is because of myopic minds like yours that country has not moved forward calling ameachi a traitor for picking a fight he dint start.plain bigotry shld an incompetent man continue to rule this country just because he's from your state or region such a sorry situation we have found our selves in.

Symphony007: you see why i said you should keep off this debate because the cracks in your understanding of it will become glaring.

Firstly, ameachi has not abandoned his responsibilities as governor despite all he is going through. I was surprised to see him lastv week in old port harcourt township inspectng the new intergrated cultural center under construction and some roads, what about your president who went nigerian children are languishing at home, he is busy calming nerves in his party so he can be president again 2015. How many meeting has he held with ASUU? How many meetings has he held with PDP governor, party leaders, etc..get the figures and know where his priorities lie.

Secondly the head of police in rivers state and every state is a commissioner, not DPO, and the reason he is disrespecting the governor is because he is a tool of the president. Even the strongest jonathan supporter here can attest to that fact.

Lol.. I can bet this guy has never been to Riverstate (in the last 4years).. Visit the state then say theses things again..

quote author=Symphony007] you are saying bigger rubbish! Ameachi has had three police commissioners as givernor. Non has fought him, there are 35 commissioners of police in nigeria except rivers. Non are fighting their governors. For this man to be fighting ameachi. Does it not show he has federal support. He closes down ameachi's new offices but wike's grassroot support movement office populated by thugs are not touched. How stupid do you have to be not to see this or are you just in denial. Ask your president was he can't govern his party. Why is he always fighting governors and other members of his party. If a man can't lead his party, how can he lead a nation. PDP is a mess, the country is a mess, and we're suppose to have a leader? Rather than you to point out this amatuerish way of leadership and thiuggish greed to hold on to power in 2015 you support him blindly.

Likewise. I advise you to talk to your president and tell him he suppose to lead. Not to hunt governors who oppose him, Shred the constitution, abandon a nation in disarray to chase a 2015 agenda. Once again. How many meeting has the president of nigeria held with ASUU so the youths of his country can return to school? How many meetings has the president of nigeria held with PDP governors and factional members to preserve his 2015 ambitions? Make the distiction and how the let's see what moral guts you have to reply me.[/quote]In your little mind,I'm sure you think you have madde sense!schewwwwwwww

Where is this certificated deluded discombobulated chronic goon coming from, you prolly dont know how much domestic debt NOI and GEJ has accumulated in the last few years with absolutely nothing to justify the huge debt running into trillions of US dollars.
Keep living the past, ewu hausa.

Okija_juju: But why would AMaechi want to sack my Aunty from her job?!

Because aunty Ngozi wants to kill us with excessive borrowing leave huge domestic debt running into trillions of dollars.

Babiloko: am a fyn gurl

no be person go tell you say you fine, which one you dey hail yourself? jus kidding

With the way this Amaechi is going, if he becomes the president of this country(God forbid) hunger and poverty will be the man issue oh. All those on NL will not have money to even pay for Internet subscription to blabb. Please Amaechi supporter go and warn him ooh. Daa Ngo has made us proud and if it's possible she should be the president in 2019, I will support her in every way necessary.

These Governors are simply jobless flying about with taxpayers' money. i wonder how their states are governed.they are greedy and selfish, always wanting to have their way nationally while their different states are languishing

boladez:

What has NGO done to better your life? Please say specifics, or if the question is above you , throw tantrums and leave the thread.

u wont know how, when ur life revolves around nairaland. every vital sector in this country is feeling her impact. talk of power, rail and road transport and more. federal roads (nt ur street cos its nt her duty)in all geographical zones are receiving attention. ve u taken a visit to our airports? hollow brain

chucky234: Because aunty Ngozi wants to kill us with excessing borrowing leave huge domestic debt running into trillions of dollars.

Oboy, sharapp there . . .Your talking nonsense as usual,

Which trillions of dollars?

they are bunch of clowns i must say. Look at the pot calling the kettle black and if i must say majority of tin governors have failed us and done that woefully. Do you call tick mal administration some governance. Lone ranging jones calling for the minister removed. I hope the delta state,abia ,osun and all those stupid northern governors are not amongst the ones clamouring for her head cos i know they have failed us. Are they working with their budget. Charity starts at home BASTARDS

Silly Amaechi . .NOI is untouchable

RealSleek:


Lols... you need to shut up .. Out of the whole write up, the only thing u can come up with is tribal segregatn...wow..u need to get out of dt village fast

sweetheart pls stop stalking me,i ain't got ur tym .did ur girlfriend abscond dis mornin leaving u high n dry?

They no fit do am.

Pathetic Governors.

Shut the f.u.c.king mouth up and focus in developing your states.

Bunch of disgrace.

Ifede chidex: My fellow Nigerians, why dont we take all dis time we use in raining insults on our leaders to pray 4 them... For christ sake, they are humanbeings like u, they dont have extra head... Lets pray dat God will give them d wisdom to rule us in the way of peace and righteousness instead of insulting them, my dear, it wont make any gud if we continue in this manner. Lets try something new like praying 4 them....

Hear ur own broken nd jarring sounds. Pple r causing us so much pain,all u can open ur filthy mouth 2say is dt we shld pray 4 dem. if only u knw how much thr salary,allowance,bonus,n allocation is, Now compare it to d rate of unemployed youth,decayed infrastructure,bad economy ,declining education n othr sectors,insecurity,e.t.c it may also interest u 2knw dt most developing countries r not as resourceful as Nigeria. bliv it or not, God himself has cursed most of ds our 'so-called' leaders. we're only lending our voice in credence.

One_Naira:

What debate? A useless man that refuses to focus on his job. The only thing he has been doing so far is running around fighting every politician he can think of like an agbero. Mtcheww. The behavior of that man is nothing but a disgrace and gradually his political career is going down the drain because of it. He is hated in his own region, hated in his own state (excluding his people), even the DPO of his own state had the balls to disrespect him (the governor of the state) and instead of the 1diot to try and save the little degree of strength he has in his political career, all his been doing is creating more problem for himself. Thank you but I rather not debate the act of a shameless man.

*singing* PERSONALLY!! PERSONAL, PERSONALLY I go deal wif u.....

Where are the khaki boys We need their intervention now!!!

karl max: I was expecting to see 19 governors attending his meeting since 19 governors voted him in his 419 election. The true picture of what happened in the ngf election is getting clearer amaechi never got 19 votes.

But th ballot was count openly for everyone to see. So are you saying the video is lying too?

Commissioners of finance in those states should resign for gross misappropriation of state funds in the name of funding Nigerian governors forum.

G7 Governors + 11 APC Governors = 18 Governors.

Imo Absent.

Oga Johna, u don notice say dis Amashit and him gang de tarket ur right-hand pupil? From Tukur to Akpabio, now na Ngozi.
Help me tell dem make Dem stop that shit, say na twenty-nineteen u go leave ASO rock oh, dat is if National Assembly no go amend Constitution again,dat time, make he allow U run for 6year single term from twenty-nineteen to twenty-thirty five.
Make Dem try borrow patience, if Dem no get in demselves.
The transformation Agenda MUST WORK- oh !
