Can't nigerians build their roads without the input and assisstance of foreigners? In a country of millions, we depend on foreigners to build roads, find, drill, sell and refine oil, we depend on foreigners to manage our national football team.
This country sucks big time.

What Amaechi could not achieve in his two tenures, Wike has done in less than a year.

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.

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.

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.[/b]

Thanks for that observation.

It's a shame white people exert intellectual superiority over us in our own country. And it's the same no matter what African country you go.

It all boils down to wrong model of education in Africa. The system of education we run in Africa is still the same we inherited from colonial Britain. The education was originally meant to keep us dumb, unfortunately, it's still achieving it's purpose as you can see. It only allow the creation of follow-follow leaders and follow-follow citizens. So, we see airplanes fly and we even enter it, but we don't want to know how it was made. We see ships travel on water, but we don't care how it was built. All we want is buy the latest Prado jeeps, but we don't care about how it was made.

Our education system disables the African mind to want to explore scientifically, and it was intentionally made that way by Britain. Same for Francophone African countries.

The purpose of western education in Africa was created to do exactly what you saw in the pictures. I'm even surprised you noticed that, because many so called educated people who has been condemned by the system by default lacks the mental capability to ask such question.

Africa cannot develop until education is restructured and science taught in our native languages across Africa to enable children have inquisitive minds; like start building robots even from primary schools.

Africa cannot develop without investment in grassroots science

How come PDP did not do as much work as Amaechi did in Rivers State. Show me GEJ's list in Bayelsa. Is he not PDP? All were achievements of Hon. Amaechi.

searchng4love:

As a PDP governor. How come such a "wonder working" man became virtually non performing under your APC?

TheGoodJoe:


“If we go by proportion, say Jonathan take what you have done in any area at the national level, and take what Amaechi has done as governor of Rivers in that area, Amaechi scored better in education, health, security; the governor scored one million times better. In Rivers before now, security was bad. In Port Harcourt, which is a garden city of joy, nobody was going out. Amaechi stopped all that. Now you can go out in Port Harcourt and stay till anytime.”....Prof. Tam David West.[/b]

God forbid Bad thing. Tell Ameachi your idol to complete It since he is now minister of transport. A 50naira drop distance that had already taken billions of Naira. Wike don't try it, leave it there so everytime Ameachi sees it he will realise how he failed Rivers people

OAFMods:


Wrong, the black race is just not ready for emancipation. Education is the same from Europe Asia Africa n the Americas. Anytime the black man is ready to do away with greed that is when Africa will progress.

The Europeans succeeded in taming their greed having realise there is no new land to be exploited or conquered, Africa is far from realising conquering n exploiting its populace will not augur well for its development. Its not about educstion, its more of common sense / intellingce of the Africa leader.

"Colonial missionary schools curriculum was Euro-centric, and that it carefully excluded African religion, culture, and history, and that under such a system of education the youths of Africa are not prepared to meet any definite situations of the changing community except those of the clerical activities and occupations for foreign commercial and mercantile concerns.’’

And he concluded by saying ‘’any educational program which fails to furnish criteria for the judgment of social, political, economic, and technical progress of the people it purports to serve has completely failed in its purpose, and has become an educational fraud’’

[b]"The world of Africans and descendants of Africans and the world of scholarship about them is still the only one at the end of the Twentieth Century that retains a 'colonial' signature whereby experts and authorities outside African communities control knowledge creation and exceed experts inside those communities. This does not apply to Europe, Asia or the Americas. This has led to an unfortunate predilection among Africans to concede expert knowledge to outsiders. African people have tended in the past to surrender the right to academic self affirmation to others, thereby accepting conclusions of a Euro-centric framework that have assigned a permanent peripheral role to the Africa centered perspective in the world's growing knowledge industry. Indeed, many of the 'authorities' who study and write about the African world and exercise great influence over the outside world's perception of Africa and Africans, the understanding of its value priorities, the vision of its future and the capacity to define its very essence for insiders and outsiders alike, often are not burdened with the knowledge of single African or African derived language."[/b]
