Are you sure we're talking about the same person? Did you say He was a grandfather then? Are you talking about the owner of Leone star or the father to the owner? blink182: |

Raiders:OKOWA is coming to set example. Forget PDP and APC matter here . Everybody knows very well an Igbo speaking person has never rule Delta State. Is only Urhobo people that has been ruling and the corrupt ones has to be them.Vote Okowa for governor Delta State. God bless Delta State and Nigeria as a whole. |

aspirebig:delta has problem with leadership. I don't understand why edo, rivers, delta, awka ibom, ondo, abia and imo shouldn't be rubbing shoulders with lagos and abuja by now. Compared to the billions of naira they receive monthly. Nigeria has all it takes to be great but poor leadership is a major obstacle. If Nigerian can hold even their community coordinators, local government chairmen and representatives at state house of assembly as accountable as they hold their president then development will be even accountable cross Nigerian. Especially development at the grassroot and local government level. We only criticise the president and forget the local leaders in our communities. Until we take these local champions accountable and responsible for every lack of amenity in the villages, nigeria will not have wholesome development. The issues you mentioned aren't existent in delta state only. Nigeria entirely suffers same fate. Pathetic much!!! 2 Likes |

chronique:Lol, you see what I said earlier, your facts are not right. Lone star drilling is owned by Late Chief Humphrey idisi and he was the one running it in the 80's. His house in Sapele is very close to the first house of Chief Barr. Obule- another oil mogul. He is the one that held some white men hostage during the Abacha regime for trying to dupe him. After he died, a struggle ensued between his 2 sons and wife over control of lone star-the multi billion drilling company. Currently Edirin is CEO of Lone star and he also just won the pdp ticket to represent ethiope east at the Federal house of Representatives. There are so many rich oil moguls in Delta no one knows about. Everyone knows Ayiri because he's a noise maker, he can't even cough in the presence of people like Chief Ereyitomi. Things are happening in this state. |

I won't trade words with you. I was born in Lagos and spent my childhood in Bendel. Lived in Sapele for several years before my family finally relocated to Lagos in 1997. I never lived in that region,yet Dr Efeturi,Dr Patona and Dr Salubi were our family doctors? I never lived in that region,yet I lived in Omoraka estate close to Eternit estate(which is also owned my Omoraka)? I never lived in that region,but I lived in Inikoro estate(the one with blocks of 4 flats each along otite road;the second one on the same road,had only bungalows). I never lived there,yet I know about St Malachi,Okpe grammer school,Chude girls high school,Ziks grammar school,Ajogodo nursery and primary school,etc? I never lived in that region but we used to go shop at Kigho stores along Okpe road rd? I never lived in that region but I know where Nepa staff school in Ogorode rd is? I never lived in that region but I know Tima guest house along Ugbeyiyi rd like the back of my hand? I never lived in that region yet I know my way to the naval estate and the Nepa estate at Ugbeyiyi? I never lived in that region yet I know Okonmah gardens along Sapele-Warri road and had friends living there? I never lived in that region and I know del rosca motel(the popular motel on Okpe rd)? I never lived in Delta,yet Mitchelle farm used to package yellow garri in their yellow sack with their name written on it,and we used to buy frozen chicken(full one) from Mitchelle farms?I could go on and on and on. The only exception to your claim,would be if the person I actaully used to see as the owner of Leone star drilling then,was His son and not the owner himself. I already told you where I lived and where He lived. Maybe you should dispute that. I'm not here to argue about who had more money between Odebala and Him. All I did was to point out in my write-up,the popular people who had money as at that time. And if for any reason the owner of Leone star wasn't so popular to me,then He must have lived a kind of quiet life. And like you must have noticed in my piece,I couldn't piece His name together. I knew him more by His company name. One more thing I'd advice you on,is this: learn to be civil in a public forum and stop insulting people. You would have been able to state your point without calling me a liar. And to think that you feel I never lived in that region,is just simply ridiculous. For your information,I didn't even spend too many years in Benin/Ekpoma where I come from;I lived most of my life in Sapele. blink182: 9 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=atlwireles post=30289489][/quote]. I am from Delta,married to a lagosian. All the big names you mentioned like the dafinones,rewanes,okotie eboh,odogwus,etc had the opportunity to make delta one of the most beautiful states in Nigeria with their connection and influence,but because of their selfishness and greed'the state is no where near states like akwa ibom and cross rivers. 1 Like |

Seriously,I was pissed off when the other dude said I never lived in that region,but was narrating stories told to me. It is ridiculous. Dr Efeturi of St Thomas hospital on Okpe road was my Dad's friend for God's sake. You remember how that A.T&P clock used to notify the whole town when it clocks an hour? Not forgetting that man that started Opkobrisi nursey and primary school. He used to use that bicycle they use in selling beer then,that has a carrier in front,to take his students to school. Holy child,tender kiddies and international,were the big primary schools then. ogorkojo: 1 Like |

Ibos,ijaws,urhobos,istekiris,binis,ishans,efiks,ibibios might not me exactly one but there is a higher probabilility of them living together peacefully. Don't forget that there are igbos in delta known as delta ibos. Apart from the many fights between the ijaws and the itsekiris from way back,I do not think we had so much problem then. Most of these fights then were usually around warri and patani where the itsekiris and ijaws are highly populated. phransix147: |

Most of our parents made mistake of leaving delta to other states especially lagos in those days, though it was favourable then until shagari government came in power, buhari government all in the name of curbing corruption blocked many avenue of employ ment opportunities. Most non indigenes were not privy to have civil service job also many deltans were affected by tribalsm now most are like strangers in our own land, having stayed long away from our state. Proudly deltan. |
