Gbawe:
Bro, why do you think I ignored the idiot? If what I said pains him, he can go and jump. As someone who never concerns himself with the business of others, I am justified telling others to leave the Yorubas and their affairs alone if all they can contribute is negativity, insults, general malevolence and an obsession with badmouthing everything to do with the ethnic group. If anyone is pained by that common sense advise then it shows you how childish they are because it is mainly only little children who get angry and throw tantrums when you tell them to stop doing something that is wrong.

Simply put it this way, They are impervious to correction grin grin grin

The fact is Govt isn't doing enough and the population is increasing daily and instead of thinking aggressively towards this direction, the reverse is the case, the comrade is only trying to let the Government know where needs to be prioritized for now instead of frivolous spending

Sincere 9gerian: I think whether old or new, we should analyse all the issues just like we'r currently doing in the case of minister of aviation. What is obvious is that when the N600 millions vehicles were purchased in 2011, there was complete LOCAL MEDIA BLACKOUT on the incident. The question is why? Why is there always a BLACKOUT when certain people 'commit' and an UPROAR when those on the other side engage in similar act?

This SELECTIVE outcry is also a form of corruption

Sometimes i wonder how futher low can this GEJ apologist go, if it was Sahara reporters that came up with this type of news without evidence....you will simply tag as Junk Journalism, Now that a paper took the pain to do an investigative journalism with facts and figures...the spokesman of stella Odua denied it at first but later accept when they realizes they been caught pants down.

Now all you can do is open another thread to say Tinumbu and Fashola bought a 600 Million Naira Prado Jeep with no[b] single[/b] evidence.

well, the internet is faceless, and gives access to every tom dick n Ali to spew rubbish. but for once even if you are a blind supporter of someone...Agree when you see the truth,...no body will beat you

Politics / FCTA To Construct New Abuja City Gate At N64bn by sesanrota(m): 8:25pm On Oct 12, 2013
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Friday said it would soon embark on the construction of a new city gate, to cost N64 billion.


The Director, Public Building of the FCTA, Mr Bernard Lot, who made the disclosure while speaking with newsmen in Abuja said the gate, would serve as a symbol of cultural heritage for the nation’s capital.
Lot said that the gate, to be located at Kuje

Junction on airport road, would replace the existing one close to the National Stadium.
He said the new gate which would be designed to have the Northern, Southern and Central axis of the country was expected to be executed through Public Private Partnership.
“The Central axis will have pedestrian bridges; the Northern axis would have conference rooms, parade ground, botanical garden, five star hotel and hospital among others.
“The Northern axis would also serve as a place where a new president would be given key to enter the city.


“The Southern axis of the project, to be sited close to the Centenary City, will be used for commercial activities, such as shopping, amphitheatre, among others.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the FCT Minister, Sen. Bala Mohammed, during his 2012 media tour, had said the project was meant to restore the city’s original master plan.
The minister said the old city gate was wrongly located, adding that the project would also serve as a tourist attraction.
He said that the project would also have social and economic significance to FCT residents and visitors to the city. (NAN)

Politics / Don’t Force People To Support Jonathan’s Second Term Bid — Sen Abe by sesanrota(m): 10:38pm On Sep 24, 2013
Don’t force people to support Jonathan’s second term bid — Sen Abe

on September 24, 2013 / in News 9:12 pm / Comments


The senator representing Rivers South-East senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Abe, has said that the people of the South-South geo-political zone should not be forced to support the second term bid of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Abe, who spoke in Port Harcourt, also said that there was no need to heat up the polity ahead of 2015 general elections since there was freedom of association and choice of who to support under the constitution.

He lashed at those who think that because President Jonathan wants to contest the 2015 general elections, no other person from the South-South zone should seek any other position in a democracy.

He said that the ascendancy of the South-South zone to the Presidency was as a result of zoning arrangement and that the people of the region do not constitute majority in the country, hence the need not to abuse the benefits.

He berated those attacking Rivers State governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, for not supporting the second term ambition of President Jonathan, saying that while the President has the constitutional right to seek for a second term in office, Amaechi also has the constitutional right to support whoever he wants.

Senator Abe said: “Those who acknowledge that the President has a constitutional right to contest must also acknowledge the constitutional right of others to support whoever they want. The constitution is for everybody.
“The best thing for us to do in this country, whether North, East, South, West or South-South, is to allow our politics to be driven by ideas. Those who feel strongly enough about something, regardless of where they come from must be allowed to canvass their opinions and express their feelings.”

The senator said: “Governor Amaechi remains a leading light in the country as a performer under our democracy,” pointing out that his developmental strides will speak for him at the appropriate time.”

He said: “Amaechi has already achieved a lot for Rivers people in different sectors. A leader with a focus and we will continue to support him under rain or sun. We must leave a legacy for the people of the state through the projects of this government.”

Politics / Amaechi-a-traitor-or-survivalist by sesanrota(m): 7:25am On Sep 24, 2013
Uche Igwe sculpts the person of the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, within the context of his current travails

Driving around Port Harcourt city in the evening can be quite enjoyable. With an impressive new set of macadamised roads and bright street lights, one will freely explore the garden city even at dusk. However some of the streets could become unusually lonely especially when you turn off from the Aba road end into the old Government Reserved Area (GRA). The popular night life which flourished over the past few months had reduced significantly in the face of rumours that security in the city might have started declining.

I was warned by a close friend to stay indoors because a popular Rivers-born politician that is Abuja-based had returned home that night in a private plane packed full of ex-militants. But who knows me? My jalopy is almost worthless and I am not yet smartphone compliant, I murmured as I sped towards a popular Cinema House known as the Genesis, to visit a friend who lives close by. My friend is a typical Port Harcourt boy and I felt that his company would be a useful guide at least about the dos and don’ts of the city life. That gave me some confidence.

I decided to park my car in his house and drive with him to a popular pub in the city. We managed to park the car in a faraway place from the pub entrance to save us from the mild traffic of people queuing to buy assorted roasted meat popularly known as (suya). Our entry into the drinking area was very smooth and uneventful. No one even noticed or greeted my friend who is a top bureaucrat and so I felt at ease and melted into the corner as we placed our orders.

Before I could go halfway with my energy drink while I awaited the rest of my request, two men and one lady joined our table. We managed to exchange pleasantries before I started devouring my hot spicy plate of giant snails which had just arrived. Come and join me, I reached out to my table mates as is usual in our culture. I requested for more drinks and brought my snail meal to a more central position on the table. The young lady took the first shot and her friend later joined. In less than ten minutes, we were all eating and chatting as if we had known each another for ages.

The subject matter of our conversation centred on politics and security. We started by a general appraisal of the current turbulent political atmosphere in the country before we zeroed in on the political faceoff between President Goodluck Jonathan and the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, both of whom are of the Niger Delta extraction.

The central question was whether the Rivers State Governor had betrayed the Niger Delta cause by his current political posture. One of my new friends explained what he described as the position of the average Niger Delta person on the matter. For him, they feel that Governor Amaechi had betrayed the Niger Delta struggle by openly disagreeing with the first President of Niger Delta extraction. He made some street sense.

For many people from the region, the Jonathan Presidency is the most potent result of the struggle and whosoever becomes a potential and actual stumbling block to his re-election must be declared a traitor and an enemy of the Niger Delta cause. In between his passionate explanation, I retorted thus: “I may not be from the core Niger Delta but at least, I am from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) state and have been an academic activist for the past fifteen years.

I know that the issues that the struggle in the Niger Delta were based on. I saw the Ogoni Bill of Rights of 1990 and Kaiama Declaration of 1998. I know that the struggle agitated for true federalism, cleaning up polluted ecosystems, sustainable development of the region, resource control, reparation for oil activities and environmental remediation.

Now, one will expect that all these concerns will receive accelerated political attention under a president from the region, however very little has happened. Both the Amnesty program and the Ministry of Niger Delta were initiated under late President Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua. What specific benefit has accrued to the Niger Delta region under Jonathan for the region to support him for another term?

Is it not uncharitable to continue to break our neck and threaten others with fire and brimstone for someone under whose presidency, the region has continued to suffer neglect? I queried” Most of the people around the table were nodding their heads in agreement while I was explaining the issues after which I felt very relieved.

On the part of Amaechi, my friend took us through a lengthy overview of the list of calculated wrongdoing against Rivers people which sounded like a laid out plan to punish the "much orchestrated Amaechi rebellion". I know that there was an on-going controversy surrounding the ownership of oil wells between Rivers and Bayelsa State. However, I and others around the table did not know that it was a plan to unconstitutionally redraw the boundaries between the two states in order to deprive Rivers State of their oil revenue and hand over same to Bayelsa, ostensibly under the solid backing of the President Jonathan led federal government.

Not many people knew that the monies that accrued from those disputed wells which was hitherto deposited in an escrow account over the years pending the final determination of the constitutional owner was allegedly disbursed to Bayelsa State on orders from above without recourse to the other party in the conflict before the final resolution of the dispute. We never heard that before that incident, some other Rivers owned oil-wells had been unjustifiably ceded to Abia and Akwa Ibom States and that there were further attempts to cede some to Imo state.

We also heard about the reluctance to honour the agreement reached between federal government and Rivers State to refund monies expended on federal roads in the state but we did not know that it was up to 105 billion naira. In addition, my friend told us about the deliberate diversion of funds meant for the LNG project in Bonny to the Brass LNG and the halting of any form of federal presence in the whole of Rivers State. The Rivers State portion of the popular East-West road is a popular example. We were grieved about hearing all what had befallen a state all in an effort to hurt an individual.

Again, for the second time, I heard of the alleged counsel by close confidants of President Jonathan to teach Amaechi a lesson which led to a water-tight plan code named ‘The Sylva Treatment’. I first heard about this plan in Coventry, the United Kingdom, among some Bayelsa students but I made little of it. We were told that under this plan, the state owned aircraft was going to be grounded after which the governor will be forcefully impeached and sent to jail. I started to take the boasts seriously when the aircraft was successfully grounded by the Ministry of Aviation apparently based on spurious reasons. The impeachment sub-plot was aborted midway.

However, we learnt from the explanations that the July 9th aborted impeachment had the blessing of the President, his wife and their associates. It was revealed that a high level combined squad from the office of the Inspector General of Police, the office of the National Security Adviser and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) were already in the state fully mobilised to whisk Governor Amaechi away to an already prepared underground cell after the expected impeachment the next day.

But fate took its turn and the impeachment was aborted and the said security men secretly flew back to Abuja in frustration in the face of unanimous condemnation from across the world who termed it a civilian coup.

Listening to the whole gist that evening, I began to see reasons why the Rivers State Governor had found a new alliance with those governors from the North. I am sure Mr. Ameachi discovered that if he does not act quickly, the presidential sledge-hammer would fall on him and he might end up in jail on trumped up charges. He (Amaechi) had to hurriedly mobilise a coalition that President Jonathan cannot afford to underestimate. The Rivers State Governor should be seen as a fearless and courageous man who is somewhat politically savvy.
Many observers argue that if he had not gone into the alliance with the Northerners and the Westerners, he would have been crushed by the presidential might by now. But whether this new alliance will save him remains a discussion for another day. The case between the President and Amaechi is clearly that of take out a guy who wants to take you out? Except one wants to be sentimental, this is pure politics of self-interest that has nothing to do with Niger Delta cause on all sides.

Interestingly, the man referred to in the plan against Amaechi is the former Bayelsa State Governor Timipre Sylva. When he disagreed with the President, it was reported that he went with his wife and a top clergy man to prostrate before President Jonathan and ask for forgiveness and the President agreed to give him a safe landing. But what happened, the Nembe-born politician was taken down to political cemetery and the rest they say is history. Should Amaechi have allowed the president, his wife and loyalists to disgrace him out of office like Sylva and dent his political career irredeemably? Probably!

Those who know the details of the conspiratorial dynamics of the on-going saga have become very cautious in trading blames and arriving at hasty conclusions. As I stood up fulfilled about a well spent evening now early morning, I began to ask myself several questions about the political crisis in Rivers State and the current tribulations of Mr Amaechi.

Are all these actually about conviction, selflessness or vaulting ambition? Will history at the end judge him fairly, as a villain or a hero; a saint or a sinner? I cannot gaze into history as I do not yet possess the power of clairvoyance. The only question I want all of us, keen observers of the on-going political conflict to ask is this: If I were in the shoes of Amaechi, would I not respond the same way to targeted hostility?
