I am very sure some children of hate will soon invade this thread to raise curse on Gov. Dickson for saying the truth. The same Bayelsans complaining of giving their work to foreigner. May God help our Oyel broda.

the mad man should v=have said this before the election

madridguy:
Ok

Bayelsa are good loving people and are not lazy, i just think they need the needed platform to flourish.

Why won't they be lazy? Most of them rely too heavily on Oil and have a penchant for free money cos of "Our Oil" syndrome.

our oyel syndrome will surely backfire

someone is beginning to say the truth after all

There you have it . . . straight from the horse's mouth.

let tonybacnista catch you

The surprising fact is the state is owing salaries despite the huge monthly allocations. They lack leaders honestly.

If you've lived in the riverine parts of Bayelsa and Delta states, you'll notice that the people are not used to paying the bills for the power they consume. In order to ward off disconnection, in some places, their representatives (in the Senate, HoR and state houses of assembly) in the communities pay for their bills as constituency projects.

they are not seft efficient

GOVERNOR Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa State has expressed dismay over the practice of selling employment slots to non-indigenes by youths of the state at give-away prices. At an interactive session with the Bayelsa State Elders Consultative Forum, the governor lamented the development, saying "it is saddening to note that indigenes of the state are selling their employment slots in reputable companies at give-away prices of between N20,000 and N70,000." The governor, who gave a graphic description of the thinking of an average Bayelsan, noted with sadness that they wanted everything free, bearing in mind that the state remains the only state throughout the federation where the electricity is generated free. His words, "An average Bayelsan has also believed erroneously that we have money and that is why they want everything for free. In the education sector we pay nothing. The craze now is that everybody wants their children to be sent abroad by the government for free. In the health sector we pay for nothing, everybody is expected to be treated for free. The electricity we produce is for free. Even nobody wants to work; they prefer handouts. "When I first came as governor, my belief was very different. My belief was that if you create jobs, people benefits from those jobs. And one of the things when I came in was that I paid all contractors that were on site. I paid N900 million and we decided to complete all on-going projects before we plan new ones. "The idea was to stimulate the economy so that our people can do small jobs. And I was happy when I paid the money and there were many people working on the site. I went to those sites personally because there were still a lot of complaints on the streets on Yenagoa. sites personally that more than 500 people working on the sites they were all non-Bayelsans. I asked if there was any Bayelsan, there was none and I was shocked. That was when I know we have a problem. Because no matter how much you tried to stimulate the economy it would fly over the Bayelsan because our youths won't work. "I would give you another example - the community around Saipem protested that they were not being given jobs. We intervened and Saipem decided to give 70 quality jobs to boys from that community. The community nominated people to go and work there and I was happy that through our intervention we were able to create the jobs. Later I saw one of the boys and questioned him why he is not at work. "I later found out upon enquiry that he sold his space to an Igbo man for N40, 000 a month out of the N 70,000 he is being paid and that is what all of them did. They sold all their spaces to Igbo people. You would send Bayelsans for training through oil companies; they sell their spaces to Igbo people and those acquire the necessary skills. They are happier to be on the streets of Yenagoa claiming every day that there is hunger. There is no economy that can grow like this. It is a very sad situation." Earlier, the chairman of the forum, Chief Francis Doukpolagha had called on the government and the elders in the state to map out developmental programmes that would be aimed at improving the lots of the people in the state.

They are used to free money from Jonathan and his PDP members in Bayelsa

It has nothing to do with Jonathan or PDP. They suffered systemic manipulation from their elites aimed at controlling the vast myopic majority for the continued enrichment of few. It has been that was even before colonialism.

The solution is total reorientation.

Av heard of this before o

Aren't you even happy there were people willing to buy up those jobs and even pay your people for it?

Nnah! Lespect yourself there!

If their Governor said so then it must be the truth.

I believe the governor is saying the honest truth

Don't mind them. Soon we'll be hearing them say that the Igbos are stealing all of their jobs and property as if they weren't the ones who were responsible for it.

An average ijaw man is a drunkard and a womanizer, he is only good at sharing sperm to different women. I respect their women so much, they are the breadwinners in most of there various homes.

I never knew Nigeria is this messed up.What a great pity

Ngozi123:

Nne, na true talk. They will sell their fallow lands for a plate of porridge; and later come back to beef you on how you turned the land to goldmine.

I served in that state way back 2001/2002 and the story is very true.................All the private school teachers were from the Southwest, most of the canteens were run by S/Easterners and Calabar/Akwa Ibom, cab drivers were mostly from Osogbo and Ife. Is the Governor just waking up, all they do is share the local government allocations at the end of the month.

Gbam !!! Anoda one chance .

Sorry to d bayelsans

Its pathetic that the Governor is just realising,its been like this for a long time,they like freebies and hate to work,serving in bayela some years back was an eye opener

this is not matter of bayelsans alone is the ijaws generally

Who needs work when we have our oyel



Our oyel ooooo.


Like someone said, oyel supposed to be a blessing to naija deltans but now, they have turned it to reason for their existence..


Everywhere, na our oyel Oyel.
