Within 6 months of 2014 i.e. January to June, federal allocation to Rivers State was 99.47 billion as shown below. With this type of allocation, Rivers State should atleast be like Akwa Ibom state, irrespective of the difference in population cluster.

What is Amaechi spending the federal allocation on? Rivers State is in a horrendous condition.

AMAECHI IS A BIGGER THIEF THAN THE THIEVES THAT HE KEEPS ACCUSING?

IF HE IS NOT, please show me what he is doing with Rivers State's funds?

2. I'm not sure what you mean by 'Rivers state should be like Akwa Ibom'. What exactly makes Akwa Ibom better?


I can't wait for 2015 to roll past. GEJ will most likely be re-elected and PDP will have dealt a mortal blow to APC. And then you lazy rascals that are paid to post propaganda and spread misinformation will be thrown out in the streets

No, we no go tire until all of them, irrespective of political party, account for all the money. Why is Rivers State not reflecting these billions?

This has nothing to do with partisan politics. Thief na thief irrespective of party, ethnicity or religion.

Model Primary schools

At the inception of his administration, Governor Chibuike Amaechi placed a state of emergency on Education and took over the responsibility of Primary schools from the Local Government Councils. The Governor came up with the idea of building new model Primary schools to the standard of the United Nations and obtainable in developed parts of the world. With a target of 700 Model Primary Schools, the Amaechi administration has completed 500 across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State. They are equipped with ICT facility, modern library, science laboratory, football field, basketball pitch, volleyball pitch and Nursery playground.

Model Secondary Schools

24 model Secondary Schools are being built, 1 in each Local Government Area, well structured and fully equipped with modern day educational, recreation and boarding facilities with standard housing for teachers, these secondary schools have grossly been referred to by observers as Universities.

Governor Chibuike Amaechi has consistently regarded power as key to economic development of the State, thus his administration has worked fervently in the areas of Power Generation, Transmission, Rural electrification and intervention schemes to achieve 24 hours power supply, while negotiations are on with the Federal Government to facilitate distribution which constitutionally is the sole responsibility of the Federal Government.

On Power Generation, the government targets 715 megawatts of Power to ensure adequate power supply in the State. 460 mega watts have been completed, 130MW at Trans Amadi, 150MW at Omoku, 180MW at Afam. 75MW at Onne is still ongoing while another 180MW at Afam is underway to make a total of 715 Mega Watts.

Rivers Songhai Farm
DSC_0755

Songhai is a center for training, agricultural production, research and development of sustainable agricultural practices.

The programme was conceived when Governor Chibuike Amaechi visited the Songhai Centre in Porto Novo and was impressed with the model and decided it would work well in Rivers State.

Work began at the Rivers Songhai farm in 2010, before then a group of 105 young men and women drawn from the 23 Local Government Areas of the state had been sent to Songhai International Centre in Benin Republic for 18-month training in various specialized Agric and Agro based areas as well as develop entrepreneurial culture.

The farm project sits on a 314-hectare land in Bunu-Tai, an agrarian community in Tai Local Government Area of the state. It is about 20 times the size of the Songhai model — an integrated farm which combines livestock, arable farming, fisheries, snail farming and poultry.

I lived in Rivers State until recently. All I see is the same under-performance that is in every single state in Nigeria, including the Akwa Ibom you hold up as an example.
Doesn't mean there isn't anything going on, though. There are areas such as education where amaechi has done much better than his predecessors, and some effort is ongoing to get roads in the Woji-slaughter axis refurbished or replaced.

Can you please post the amount Akwa Ibom has received from 2011 to date and tell us what that amount has been used to do?

You need to do this... Your OP held up that state as a model for others so it would be nice to see what makes that acceptable to you. Thanks

And there you go. This is the attitude that gives room for thieves like Amaechi to go free without being questioned. You stayed in Rivers state, did you feel like it was a place that takes up billions every month?

In no time, he'll start dancing and telling you that he was possessed by an evil spirit when he was in PDP, and you will believe him.

No no, don't shift the focus here. I'll talk about the thief in Akwa Ibom too, although that one is a learner compared to Amaechi. Amaechi's case is most painful because he is claiming to be an angel now.

FYI, I never implied that Akwa Ibom is a model state. I just said that Akwa Ibom has shown more focus on development than Rivers State.

Can you compare Rivers state to Abia state or Imo state. Rivers state is heaven compared to those two states.

Mr op is this because amechi asked the fg to show one project started and completed in rivers state by the fg?

Instead of you to answer the question you and yor friends are making banana noise.......

I will ask this question again like i have done severally......

What did gej do as govrrnor of bayelsa state for almost 2years
Since every govrrnor that disagrees with the ptesodency is termed a failure

You don't have to compare other states with Rivers State to justify Amaechi's robbery of The State. This dude is overseeing one of the only three states to surpass the trillion Naira mark in 9 years, yet he is showing nothing outstanding like Lagos state and Akwa Ibom state. The guy is a thief. Other thieving Nigerian politicians are learners when compared to Amaechi.

If you are from Rivers State and you are eager to divert attention from this thief called Amaechi, then I weep for you and your future generations. Your oil advantage is fast disappearing. It will be a shame that you achieved nothing with it.

This has nothing to do with partisan politics. Clear your mind from bias and look at things with a clear view of the reality on ground.

Governors like Amaechi have responsibilities and should be accountable to the electorates. He needs to be held accountable. Holding him accountable does not mean that one is from another political party.

If you think that Amaechi is not a thief, show me what he has done with the billions that he has controlled for 8 years. Show me, I promise to shut up and apologize if the projects are really worth these billions. SEE MONORAIL, the dude could not complete. Upon all the free money.

There are many Akwa Ibom people in Rivers State as they are also in other parts of Nigeria, can't say if there are more Akwa Ibom people outside the state. There is this particular family in the area and every time we will not hear word, Akpabio is working wonders and all they say. Some of us ignorantly start repeating what we have heard and few others who visit Uyo even want to say something. Recently this family relocated to stay in Uyo and we were all happy for them. They say light is almost near constant and the roads have no potholes, house rent is cheap and food too so we should give God praise. That was last year, 2 months ago they returned back to Port Harcourt that is always in constant darkness and the point was simple. There is population and money here in Port Harcourt unlike all of Akwa Ibom, the opportunities here are second only to Lagos. So for those shouting Akpabio, keep on shouting. The family in question trades in selling of smoked fish and plantain mainly.

I guess you did not know Port Harcourt before Omehia/Amaechi. Rivers State has witnessed so much infrastructural development in all sectors from roads, monorail, schools, drainages, water channels, several long bridges, flyovers, mega farms, international scholarships etc.

There is a difference between business opportunities and development. Portharcourt is a part of Rivers State that is densely populated. So, preference for Portharcourt over Uyo is not surprising. That does not however imply that Rivers state has seen more development in 9 years than Akwa Ibom.

Rivers state have received enough money to develop beyond where it is now. Why is it stagnant? AMAECHI IS STEALING THE MONEY LIKE HIS PREDECESSOR, ODILI.

The best Governors to me are simply Rochas Okorocha and Rauf Aregbesola. My reason is that they met little on ground and have meagre resources to work with but yet achieved a lot.

As for Amaechi and Akpabio they cannot be compared. Eleme is one of the most developed places in Nigeria. Try to visit FTZ and see for yourself. Visit Rainbow town.

The truth is that most of these things that you call state projects are within the jurisdiction of local government areas. How can you be telling me that in 8 years, Amaechi used over 3 trillion Naira to build flyovers, schools, drainages, scholarships......na wa o.

I was excited when he came up with the monorail idea. Now, where is the monorail? Lagos state is moving on with theirs. He even promised a world standard stadium and a brand new city like Eko Atlantic called some'n like new Portharcourt or so? Where dem dey?

....and mind you, we are only talking of federal government allocations here. Other billion billions in incomes still dey enter as a result of the status of the state as a major oil producing area. WHERE ARE ALL THESE INCOMES GOING TO?

You are uninformed I guess. Everything you wrote there are in place at the moment. The underground sewage of the new city has been competed as well as sandfilling. Bridges have been put in place as well as flyovers where designated. Housing development has not commenced but the sports complex is completed.

All the ones in bold are not worth using to justify the income that I mentioned.

The mono-rail project is stagnant at the moment. If it is still going on, it is way long overdue. Amaechi needs to explain why it is taking him years to do.

The sports complex with its stadium that you said has been completed must be below the world class that he bragged that it would be. Please, can you show me the picture? If it is what I am finding in google, then I am very disappointed. Amaechi have got some explanation to do there.

In your own sincere view, without pride of political affiliation, are all these projects worth the amount that Amaechi has received since he became a governor?

The independent power project was started by Odili back in the days. Amaechi added capacity. There are also independent power plants developed and launched by Akpabyo. The amount received by Rivers State in 9 years is way way more than 50 times enough to power Rivers State, especially as Oil Companies made lots of financial and human contributions. So, that is not enough justification.

I go to City like my kitchen. So, don't ask me about staying there. I don't have to stay there to demand for accountability from Amaechi. I am a Nigerian.

Let Jonathan first tell us where is our oil money going to plus let him declare his assets.

[b]op is brazenly silly and utterly uninformed. equating rivers state budgetary forecast as the federal allocation to the state shows that you are a jocker and needn't be taken seriously. Am very sure you dont stay in R/S because if you do you shouldn't be asking of the 40,000 capacity stadium that is completed and recently hosted a political rally. the rainbow town that is awashed with up-risers and the greater ph city are on advance state and they remain a future revelation.
just few question for you:
1) how many dual carriage road were in Ph before Amaechi came in.
2) can you show us the public schools in Akwa Ibom let compare with the ones in R/s
3)compare their health centers
4) has any government in the history of Nigeria employed more than 13,000 unemployed youths at once before?
5)which government has sent students(both indigene and non_ndigene) for both undergraduate and post graduate foreign scholarship more than Amaechi
you think governance ends with constructing few roads and water fountain [/b]
