Ask Jonathan how he spent 5 years as president and his people still travel like this.

THAT ONE IS A LONG STORY. MOST TIMES, D ENEMY OF THE MASSES PROGRESS IS FROM D SAME AREA. OIL RICH INDEED, USING URINE TO WASH YOUR FACE WHEN THERE IS CLEAN WATER CLOSE TO YOU. DO YOU KNOW THAT MOST OF THESE OIL RICH COMMUNITIES DON'T HAVE BASIC SOCIAL AMENITIES & MOST OF D SO CALLED RULERS FROM THAT REGION ARE NOT UNITED IN BRINGING DEVELOPMENT TO THEIR PEOPLE, BUT ARE UNITED WHEN IT COMES TO STEALING OF D PEOPLE SCARCE RESOURES & WEALTH. DO U KNOW THAT WHEN MONEY IS BUDGETED 4 PIPE-BORNE WATER, BRIDGE. ROADS ETC IN MOST RIVERINE COMMUNITIES, D PROJECT IS EITHER NOT DONE OR UNCOMPLETED. IT IS A SAD DEVELOPMENT. DUBAI IS AN OIL RICH AREA. THE LEADERS THERE ARE NOT SAINTS BUT THEY ARE USING THE RESOURES/ WEALTH TO POSITIVELY TRANSFORM & TOUCH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. D RULERS IN NIGERIA SHOULD LEARN FROM THE LEADERS OF UAE AS REGARD DEVELOPMENT OF D NIGER DELTA.

eyeview:

If we are to use such yardstick, then all former heads of state from the north will be crucified.
They have been in power for over majority of our post independence life but most of their people live in abject poverty and backwardness.

IT IS SO BECAUSE OF STEALING OF THE PEOPLE RESOURCES.

oduastates:
The main gold of the entire southern part of Nigeria ,from Lagos to Akwa ibom,is not the black Gold (oil) . The gold mine is tourism .
The picture ought to be showing ferries transporting tourists and not a rickety boat transporting refugee-like citizens .
With criminal militants,kidnappers , armed robbers , herdsmen,yahoo yahoo,corrupt unions ,thugs ,,terrorists ,religious extremists,corrupt armed forces ,pirates and corrupt,incompetent dunderhead politicians ruling the roost, NO HOPE.
Even Turkey in spite of all the terrorist attacks still attracts tourist

THE FUTURE IS TOURISM. THE OIL & OTHER RESOURCES MUST B USE TO DEVELOP ALL AREA. NIGERIA MUST LEARN FROM UAE (DUBAI).

Duara is composed of mainly mud huts, donkeys, sheep and skinny cows.

Ask Wetin buhari do for duara

you see how misinformed you are... I stayed in the north for close to 12 years. Even attended FGC Daura.. The northern politicians have their people at heart. Even as the PTF chairman then, Buhari transformed the whole of katsina state using ptf funds, all major roads in katsina town, funtua and Daura(these r the towns i know of and i am sure there are many more) were tarred under the PTF scheme, All my text books and exercise books were free via PTF, the road from Katsina straight down to Abuja was dualised via PTF funds, the inscriptions are still there till date..infact PTF was used by Abacha and masterminded by buhari to create and develop the several infrastructures in d North.. I might not be a Buhari fan ohh..but one sure thing is is this, a northerner with power would touch the lives of his people and his environment(though d almajiris will always b dere,more like a curse).. while a southern and western politician will only steal for his pocket.No impact on his people whatsoever or his close environment.. e.g is OBJ and GEJ..

highpriest4:
but people living across water in places like lagos islands; victoria island, banana republic island have bridges ba?

don't compare Lagos island with bayelsa. a friend of mine from bayelsa once told me that they used to travel for up to a week on canoe from their community before they get to mainland.
Bayelsa towns and villages are islands far apart from another. Connecting them by bridges is almost impossible

paulsir:


IBB constructed roads in Minna and almost turns it to small heaven, buhari constructed 98 roads in the north when abacha made him his minister. OBJ refused to do Lagos-Ibadan express for 8 years he spent there? likewise GEJ? he should have used that opportunity to construct many bridges at least some governors constructed their states bridges.

God bless you..i was just explaining this to someone on this thread also..u can check out my reply post also.. The Northerners are much better when it comes to touching lives and impacting on their environment(even if they loot funds also, cos all politicians are thieves)...but we southerners are just selfish.. we can't even use our position to do good roads for our people,create jobs, develop infrastructure, all we care about is to steal and steal senselessly..Imagine the money found with patience and Diezani..That money can go a long way in transforming their region, but na lie..they would rather steal it and enjoy it alone, while their people keep drinking water from the same place they piss into..shame shame shame..

whose fault? Primitive form of transporting luggage! Despite the 13% derivation? These people have never enjoyed the so called dividends of democracy I swear. Niger delta governors God dey ooo!

Do not deceive us. This pic was taken during Jaja of Opobo century else Jonathan suppose to have fix it for them after all the jumbo excess crude oil money he made...

what did GEJ do for the north ?

Look at this young man! The parts of northern Nigeria that are beautiful were built by the whites because hausa's just gave in to their colonial administration. They found it hard to get direct administration in the South East and South South. Apart from Lagos which was the capital of Nigeria during the colonial administration, which other part of South West is presentable??

are we talking about the north right now ? MUMU read and understand before commenting.

Fremancipation:
GEJ administration tried so many times to Pass the PIB law which would have been a game changer for states and host communities producing oil but the Northern dominated senate and house of reps wouldn't allow that to happen.

If you want, continue blaming GEJ while the facts are in front of you and easy to look up.

WE DONT NEED TO BE BLINDED BY POLITICAL SENTIMENTS. WHAT A LAME EXCUSE! Nigerians are the problems to Nigerians and Niger Deltans are the problems to Niger Deltans.
Question one: DOES GEJ NEED PIB TO AWARD A BRIDGE CONTRACT?
Question two: IS IT NORTHERNANTS THAT ALSO RAPE THE WOMEN(INCLUDING PREGNANT WOMEN) ON THOSE BOATS AND TAKW AWAY ALL THEIR POSSESSIONS BOTH FOOD AND MONEY?
Question 3: WAS IT NORTHERNANTS THAT KIDNAPPED THE WHITE MEN WORKING ON THE NEMBE ROAD AND KILLED THEIR ARMY ESCORTS(A PLACE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY WATER AND ITS CONSTRUCTION WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT

When you travel within this country, from one region to another, you will appreciate how large it is and the onerous task of leading it!!!!

Im telling you. Niger State has produced 2 Head of states but the state is nothing more than a vast land of backwardnesss and void

I am sure Niger state is 1,ooo times better than your Ebonyi and Abia states put together! The monthly revenue from the two privately owned generation companies for 1 month will feed the two states for generations

kikikiki from your trash you have admit, to read and understand is a problem to you .

Development in the Niger Delta region would not have come so just by having a president from the region but would have been a continuous thing if the dividends of Nigeria's oil production had been duly paid to the area from inception and again properly utilized by governments in the region all this years.
However GEJ could have started something and ensured that the right policies to sustain Niger Delta development were put in place especially with the arms struggle in the region.
Instead the federal government glorified militancy through the period and never structured any strong sustainable policies towards development.

Nigerian people can be as stupid as a donkey,pls what is wrong with this mode of transport? their are several communities in Europe and America with boats as their mode of transport,people should pls go grow some more brain cells so they can reason properly,the terrain makes it difficult to build bridges here,its too long and will be very expensive,little kids that have not left their lagos before are the very people talking about places they don't even have money to take a trip to.

Just "8yrs" and Ijaws are like this. Bt 40yrs of Northerners in power they still have the poorest,beggers and least educated people in Nigeria. Majority are homeless,sand dunes are wiping out their lands.....mak I continue?

That's why I shake my head when I see some Ijaw folks screaming one Nigeria and still waiting for resource control after 50 years of begging.

Only the rich amongst them will still be well-to-do. Nothing will change.

what is the purpose of their state budget? That is why I have a problem taking them seriously, because they will never blame their governors. What is bayelsa budget....but they are squandering the budget and then complain to the FG "we are neglect", Comot jaw!!!

You don't get it, do you?
Give that ebonyi state you mentioned two presidents like ibb and abdulsalaam and see if it Niger state will come close to it in terms of devepopment.
Do you get the point now?

The point being made here is that even the 13% which has accrued to the region for almost 2 decades has not been converted to any single form of development because of the useless leaders the region (and the nation at large) keeps producing. When the 50% or even 100% resource control eventually comes, it will even be clearer that the real problem is the sort of leaders in the region and not necessarily the lack of resources.

Whilst the leaders cannot account for the 13% being received currently (except of course their personal private jets and opulent lifestyles), these same leaders conveniently deceive the mass of people that there isnt development because there isnt 100% resource control.

Taking this very Bayelsa as a case study, this is one of the least populated states in the south which has barely 8 local governments and very few cities. The allocation to this small state dwarfs the allocation of most states in the country with far higher population, landmass and cities. But what do we have on ground after 18 years of democracy?... we have a state which cant even pay salaries and which has about the highest poverty indices in the south.

Until the true cancerous cell (i.e. useless leadership) is identified and tackled, even with 150% resource control, the rich elite will keep becoming richer with more elegant jet lifestyles, the boys in the creeks will up the violence and get some more payouts but the poor law abiding ordinary citizens will keep getting poorer.
