Bayelsa State Airport land owners have blocked the main entrance of the Airport as the State Government failed to compensate them.

According to reports, the saga all started when the state government failed to compensate them as agreed last month. They said Seriake Dickson, the current governor of the state - is unrealistic and cannot be trusted in any agreement as he has not even given them hope if the compensation will be paid sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the protesters landed at the area with mosquito nets, bags of rice other food stuffs and cooking items.

As the situation was so intense, security agencies were deployed by the State government to douse the tension but to no avail.

Lol.

Them forget say plane dey fail break for Nigeria

What if the state government decide to relocate the proposed site to another town. Government can decide to neglect the place if peace is not guaranteed Sometimes we act funny. So many communities have lost opportunities and developments like this due to some claims by some indegene's (land owners).we need to get rid of some baseless claims and ideology if we are to move forward.

You forgot to mention those ugly looking trucks/trailers...

This is NIGERIA

looks like a fuc.kery site

I don't know the truth behind the whole thing but one funny I know over years of living in south south is that, you will be amazed their elders and chiefs have collected the so called compensation funds and siphoned it. That is what a natural occurrence over there. Also, if truly the state govt hasn't compensated them, it should. And they should also make their demands reasonable cos you could be hearing them demanding for 50million naira per plot. I will never forget the day Ameachi awarded the elelenwo - Apajo junction repair contract and sentraco were to rush it overnight for one day, my south south brothers all came out in the middle of the night with wrappers and towels round their waists at 1.00am demanding sentraco compensated them for their bad roads government paid the contractor for to fix. I couldn't stop laughing.

Government should do the needful please. this people are just trying to make a living with the little they have

Good one

if baba call them lazy Nigerian youths now

HOW AEROPLANE GO TAKE ENTER WHEN IT'S BLOCKED?

All I could see is the lady in blue jeans.. A hardworking lady

But there's so much money in the state, settle them na!!

I know to others outside the state, building an Aiport by the state government is a big achievement but I want to categorically tell y’all that this airport is just an avenue to launder Money by the governor.. Dickson is a failed governor becos this is not what the people want. Tell me how many bayelsans can afford to fly a plane.. I have never seen a governor so wicked and heartless that he doesn’t care about his people. There’s is little to no light in yenegoa which is the capital city and at the end of the month outrageous bills still come in . Cultism is at his highest peak in the town .i have a lot to say but let me end here

Dem go fly over dem

What's the problem if the government compensates them.
Do u think the other community will not ask for compensation.
Its simple agreement and the government should honour it.
Avoid all this drama that are avoidable.

the land on which the airport was built is theirs and they rightly deserve to be compensated. it is their right and not an omo onile tin like we have in lagos

So Government should just snatch the land or what exactly are you projecting?

If this information is true, the Bayelsa State Government should pay what is been owned to the Land owners.

siting of an airport there is a life time entitlement if they are not lazy and can think with their brain.
