[size=18pt]Jonathan forgot his own people in Bayelsa state and went on to plan for abuja centenary celebration. Politician like secretary to the federal government, ayim pius ayim, former senate president talk him on to this illicit project just to eat money. when the chips are down it is now reality time. He never thought of any major developement in his own area apart from the federal university which he establish in his own community of Otuoke in Bayelsa state. He was thinking of a second tenure until power slip away from his hand. Jonathan was a fool. But what do you expect from a man who was given power on a platter of gold. He was never expecting power, Obasanjo saw qualified people like Donald Duke of Cross River state, Adams Oshiomole of Edo state, etc he dished all this people only to give power to a nonentity called Ebele Jonathan Goodluck who was just a mere deputy governor. Of course, you should expect the worse. [/size] 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Our politicians need to take mentorship lessons from Roman Abramovich. When Roman Abramovich became governor of Chuktoka in Russia, he turned the fortune of that city around using his own personal funds. After his first term in office, his people begged him to go for second term but he refused and stepped down..................The rich in Nigeria have a lot to learn from this man. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigerian leaders and politicians should invest in the youths and not be too selfish and greedy because that's their only problem. They should give them key positions in politics as they are the leaders of tomorrow 1 Like |

All the 13% derivation, federal allocation etc. that Bayelsa earned since 1999 was totally mismanaged and looted. If it was well managed Bayelsa with her small population will be competing with the likes of Dubai, Kuwait etc. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Babalegba:I think such situations is obtainable currently in every state except u guys wanna deliberately deny the obvious. Nigeria currently is a joke.... Aside my earlier point, its actually good the ijaws lost the centre so that they will realize wat it means to rally round their very own even if he's"the ineffectual buffoon" like some very foolish Nigerians put it. You don't kill or throw away a bad child, u rally round him, support him and encourage him to be a better child. The Northerners and southwesterners are better in that e.g obj and tinubu, obj and gbenga Daniel. 1 Like |

some comments here are purely annoying. must everything be about apc this, pdp that?? here is a scenario painted by eye witness telling how deplorable things are in bayelsa and some people are already seeing it as an apc/pdp thing!! I am not bayelsan but I am pained and ashamed that a state who earns so much from monthly allocations is owing workers for 5months!!!! by now one would expect bayelsa to be a haven of some sort considering the advantage of having had GEJ in the seat of power for so long. only God knows when our youths will start to see things from a normal perspective. hold your leaders accountable while casting aside sentiments based on party affiliation,tribe and religion!! 12 Likes 2 Shares |

GudluckIBB: I think anyone that has a bit of common sense would reflect on this. May 1999 - December 2005 - Jonathan was Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state December 2005 - May 2007 - Jonathan was Governor of Bayelsa state May 2007 - May 2010 - Jonathan was Vice President of Nigeria May 2010 - May 2015 - Jonathan was President of Nigeria According to Wikipedia Bayelsa State has one of the largest crude oil and natural gas deposits in Nigeria. As a result, petroleum production is extensive in the state. However, the majority of Bayelsans live in poverty. They are mainly rural dwellers due to its peculiar terrain and lack of adequate transportation, health, education or other infrastructure as a result of decades of neglect by the central governments, state governments, and petroleum prospecting companies. This has been a large problem in the state since its creation and successive state governments have not been able to address and repair the issue. The state, as a result, has an almost non-existent commerce. Jonathan was given a decade and 4 extra years - Global oil prices were up - but the poverty of his own people seemed to worsen. To whom much is given, much is said to be expected. Much was expected of Jonathan - and he delivered nothing! Zero! Zilch! Nada! I am convinced that Nigerians made the right decision to boot him out of office in 2015. If he couldn't change the life of Bayelsans, why could he be of any good to Nigerians as a whole? 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Bovis: See what I said about brains obviously not being in people's head. Will you blame misplaced priorities and inability to pay salaries on government part as wholistic economic woe of the state. To lambast your point, have you heard about the city called Ordos. Bayelsans predominantly are civil servants. You can barely count up to 10 private organizations in that state. So just because the government owes salary means their economy is bad. Bayelsa never attracts investors in anyway. It still doesn't spell bad economy. 1 Like |
