Bayelsa: Is This State Developing At All? by DisGuy: 9:09am On Dec 15, 2010 |
Does anyone from Nairaland live in Baylesa? Seems all the stories from this state is about Goodluck Jonathan, Alamaseigha**, Sylvia and Alaibe then the militants . . . No business, no real estate or sports news, just contracts contracts contracts One would think being one of the state with the highest revenue and lowest population this state should be the envy of all Southern states in the country Apart from the state budget, there is the Ministry of Niger Delta and then NDDC are the northerners still holding it down? 1 Like |

I suspect that that state is in a state of dependency, but more so than the rest of the Nigerian states. |

Only thing I know about Bayelsa is that one of my favorite artists (Timaya) is from there Yeah, I never hear anything about development there. |

I seriously don't think so.Its still same,just as Alams left ,most of the stuffs they commission today are his projects. 6 years ago,I went to a village not too far from Yenegoa,named Ikibiri.There was no light,tap-water,tarred road,school.The townsfolk use the flowing river for everything;wash,cook even shyte inside. I was there 3 years ago,nothing much have changed.They NOW have a school(no roof),mobile connection. Folks fish and cultivate plantain all year round,nothing else to do.ooops,breed like rabbits,drink kai-kai. Shame. |

God will never forgive Obasanjo for what he did to Alamiesigha just because of politics.He will forever be his peoples hero.A comparison cannot even be made between this man and GEJ in charisma,strength and leadership impact.Yenagoa is still as Alamiesigha left it even after Jonathan and Sylva have ruled the oil rich state. |

^^You mean he should have allowed him continue the looting after there was development- the benevolent looter abi? |
Re: Bayelsa: Is This State Developing At All? by DisGuy: 11:45pm On Dec 15, 2010 |
Even though the community we visited is a four-minute boat ride from Yenagoa, there was no sign of infrastructure in it. The boats we rode on were very old and shaky while the stinking river also served as a refuse dump. Community members had no access to pipe borne water and so most of them depended entirely on the brownish and heavily polluted water from the river with the unbearable stench coming from it. I saw them bath with it, drink from it, brush their teeth with it and take some home for cooking. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5652970-182/story.csp |

In terms of human population, Bayelsa State is the smallest of the 36 states in Nigeria (population of 1.7 million in 2006). In the 2008 boom year Bayelsa State received about N116 billion, roughly three times the national average, from the centre. The state depends entirely on oil revenue and has a paltry 2 percent of internally generated revenue. I cannot believe someone actually suggested removal of Alams was a hinderance to development. |

^^^ You dont live in Bayelsa, do you? Stop making baseless assumptions It doesnt look good on you, especially for a female like you! |
Re: Bayelsa: Is This State Developing At All? by Abagworo(m): 12:23am On Dec 16, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: I did and stand to be proven wrong.Alams was not there at the height of oil boom when oil rose to $150,GEJ was.Alams wasnt there in 2008 either.Sylva was.Alams was set up and still lives under blackmail till date because he was meant to be Atiku's running mate.Bayelsans still appreciate the man.If you say na lie,go Bayelsa go yarn opata with him name see wetin dem go do you. |

Abagworo: you want us to believe he was falsely convicted? lol . Are we speaking of the same Dipreye here? Governor of Bayelsa State http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diepreye_Alamieyeseigha |

. These included an expensive new government house, an airport in his native town of Amassoma and an Olympic-sized stadium in the state capital, Yenagoa. These achievements are his crime.Okay after these infrastructural developments mentioned above can you please tell us what new things his two successors achieved. |
Re: Bayelsa: Is This State Developing At All? by Kobojunkie: 12:43am On Dec 16, 2010 |
^^ Dude, dude!! You of all people should know that I don't believe in measuring mediocrity against mediocrity. I don’t engage in such ridiculous, time wasting exercises. And I have in no way absolved those who came after him for the part they also played in looting the state. But I can’t get out of my mind the part this man played in also looting the state. You mean we imagined that whole fiasco in London? I mean the one with him fleeing back to Nigeria, to continue as governor, dressed as a woman(I can still remember where I was when I heard that story)? |
Re: Bayelsa: Is This State Developing At All? by Ibime(m): 12:52am On Dec 16, 2010 |
Bayelsas lack of progress is not due to lack of able people or human resources, but due to PDP armed robbers who run the state and the thugs they empower. |
Re: Bayelsa: Is This State Developing At All? by 9ijaMan: 1:24am On Dec 16, 2010 |
Kobojunkie:While I agree with your point that it makes no sense to measure a mediocre perfomance against another one, the fact remains that Alams did a lot for for his people in Bayelsa than GEJ & Sylva combined. I know the place very well 'cos I worked in some of the towns such as Nembe, Gbaran, Kolo Creek, Opokuma for several years and noted that Alams pursued some developmental projects which are either decaying currently due to lack of maintenance of halfway completed. Alams was a crook who should be prosecuted no doubt, his thievery pales in comparison to GEJ & Sylva. That's the reason I keep asking team GEJ cronies on NL to point out what GEJ has achieved in his 12 years in governance. |

Bayelsa is the only state where ijaw is the majority and this is what we see,the average ijaw man is lazy and lacks enterpreneur spirit and this reflects in the state of yenegoa,go to anambra,we dont have the best of leaders but the people have enterpreneur spirit and are hardworking, in onitsha people build new structures on daily basis,in my cousin's town of awka etiti every part of the village road was tarred by people,even in ogidi,peeps do the same,the governors in the east are not the best but people are making things to work by building structures,when the ijaw was in the east they accused enugu of neglecting their area and giving land allocations only to igbos hence their justification for abandoned property saga,but forty years later we can see the truth which is (1) ijawland wasnt neglected,rather peeps are lazy and couldnt develop their area as evident in bayelsa state, i wonder if ndiigbo are still leading the ijaw,most buildings in enugu,onitsha,awka,owerri,abakaliki was not built by the government but by hardworking igbos,even though government couldnt tar the roads.(2)nobody stopped the ijaw from owning property in ph,they were simply lazy and dont have the money hence the property in ph went to the highest bidders the igbos,now the igbo own 70% of the lands in abuja,i wonder if they allocated it to themselves.Why should bayelsa look better when peeps are shouting oil,oil,oil,oil and more oil and none wants to work. Go to uyo and see how that city is changing for good,ijaws hatred for ndiigbo have brought them nothing but misery,they should look at ibibio whose relationship with ndiigbo has brought them prosperity,God bless the ibibio nation. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie:Not a hindrance in any way. If we shld talk abt development in Bayelsa,no one honestly wud exclude his name.He might be a crook but he actually did one or two good things while in office . Every good thing in Bayelsa has Alams written over it,and since he left nothing new has happened. |

@babatosy. You are a slowpoke like all your people,state in that context means condition,of course i know that yenegoa is the capital of the damned ijaw state of bayelsa.Thank the devil u agreed you people are lazy,always screaming oil,oil,oil,oil and more oil,governor sylva have once complained about lack of science graduates in the state,how the hell is he going to perform magic with lazy folks,even GEJ cant.Go to oguta imo state,they have oil more than most ijaw towns but most of them dont even know the amount of oil wells in their town,they are too busy studying or doing business,it is only in ijawland that folks are at home doing nothing but screaming OIL,OIL,OIL,OIL and more oil, and blame the igboman for his misery,i feel for sylva,it must be a hard job leading these folks. 1 Like |

I served in Odi. Honestly, u need to visit BY. Yenogua is a one street capital (Melford Okilo road). No sign of development. Like someone said, the visible structures their, were the ones done by Alamco. Odi is about 30 minutes drive from Yenagoa but they are still to be connected to the national grid. There is no commercial activities going on their. The only successful dudes their are megalomaniacs called politicians. BY is really in a sorry state. |
