Nuzo':
I like this kind of investigtive journalism. More should be done.

However, many Nigerians would find it difficult to accept and dilute cos of some resons:

1. The messenger has a similar name with a known monicker here...thereby making the whole reveltion look like a cheap blackmail and cowardly. Exactly the attitude we are trying to adress in out past and present leaders.

2. The op is only interested in Bayelsa while negleting other states where bigger frauds and abuse of office took place.

3. The op was concsiously trying to pin GEJ with scams that didn't take place in his 18 months stay as a governor.

Kudos to the op as we await reports of frauds from the other 35 states.

Knowing how sentimentally driven Nigerians can be, limiting this kind of revelations to only one state alone can only make people believe its personal vedatta.

Then why call GEJ at all when whateva the OP used as d Basis of his entire argument (many of which, unda sm scrutiny, wud even be shown to be incorrect, at least not in d way they were presented here) did NOT concern GEJ at all ie GEJ was not d Gov during that time.... The OP is just a Frustrated imp with access to d internet; and I still do not undastad how this cud hv made d FP on NL in dis present form, when it is clear to even an ijiot that the article is a shameless HATCHET job

4 Play: The article illustrates how political discourse in Nigeria is riven with mendacity and illogic. There is no doubt that GEJ is a thief like all Nigerian politicians but it's a crude insult to our intelligence to attribute state budgetary allocations between 2009 to 2012 to GEJ when he ceased to be Governor in 2007.

And this is just d CRUX of d issue. You accuse smone of a wrong when he was no where near d house at d time d said wrong was done. Isn't that the height of INSANITY??..... People shld ask themselves why for all d incredible opposition and open hostility by a tiny but vocal segment of d country/powermongers against d person of GEJ, NOTHING REAL has ever been traced to GEJ in of corruptn- no foreign , no company, no outrageous Property/real estate, etc. Only a trove of Nonsense put together by a group of Desperate LOSERS, that time and time again, doesn't directly link GEJ...

NASENI is a Govt Agency, right? If so, who wud be doing the actual manufacturing and assembling of the bikes? I hope the Govt does not plan to go into production.... Good move, though

Pataki:

Is this what NL has turned you into? The butt of jokes whose posts certainly makes all on the forum shake head in shame and disgust.

How you openly embrace the horror of clueless leadership which majority of PDP leaders have bestowed on Nigeria leaves me gobsmacked.

Come on SHUT that ya mouth tha...as in, SHUT UP

REHOZIBAH: Stoopid senile old man! Wen GEJ got d presidency d 1st tym,it was dis same Edwin Clark n his ilk dat appropriated him to themselves touting him as a South-South president

The most nerve wracking tyn about d bad product called GEJ is dat he didn't even do much 4his so-called people as I av it on good authority wt my SS friends dat dey av only bn keeping quiet in other not to send negative vibes across d nation n not 2 give pipo clue dat d SS is not united behind GEJ

D NDDC dat was established to cater 4d SS hasn't done much under GEJ.Monumental corruption n hundreds of abandoned projects evriwia

Rogues,Militants n Cultists av bn having a field day wt large scale bunkering going on unabated along d Akassa foreshore in Bayelsa n oda part of d ND

Now dat dey are staring down d barrel of d gun of defeat,dez elders av come again tryn to package GEJ now as a Nigerian president

Dey switch from ethnic bigotry n disdain 4 other part of Nigeria to enunciating lofty nationalistic ideals wen eva it suits dem

Yr boy can no longer claim he dosnt av shoes cos we kno dat d Mauri shoes he presently wears av bn used to trample upon our collective intelligence

Keep foooling yrself with long meaningless epistles online, whilst REAL people play theirs on d ground. Una eyes go soon clear..... Oh, by d way, did you just say dat NDDC has not done much unda GEJ and is abandoning projects?? Lawd! Such Ignorance spoken in arrogance...

exxell: IMO; Brown Ideye should be Loaned To The Tahitians.... that Dude is hopelessly; clueless!

Hehehehe....

dayokanu: Ideye is a goat

Na which one you sabi play?

CATCHYBLOGGER: THE NUMBER OF GOAL SCORING CHANCES MISSED BY EAGLES IS ENOUGH TO GO ROUND THE 36 STATES OF NIGERIA.

lol...

hercules07:
Let us start with the allocation and how the oil block was got.

How does d allocation concern GEJ?

Personally, am increasingly against Death Penalty. If I was a Gov, I don't think I wud be in any hurry to sign anyone's Death certificate..

nameo: After reading this, tell me why God would not PUNISH those persons, whose cos of silly political considerations and cos of their small-mindedness, opposed the President's move to declare States of Emergency in those 3 Northeastern states. People who do not mind using other's sufferings as talking points in order to advance their OWN interests.

May God deliver us from Enemies WITHIN.Ameen

Amen....

mu2sa2: The people of the north have at last risen to confront their common enemy, boko haram. let's hope the people of niger delta will also summon courage to confront MEND bandits.

And what were d 'People of d North' (yourself inclusive) been doing all this while, that 'they' are NOW confronting BH at last?? Did 'they' (yourself inclusive) belief that they cud achieve anytin from not confronting those killers b4 now (Power, perhaps), and hv now realised that 'they' wud lose (or rather, are losing) much more if they continued on their previous CHOOSEN path? Are we looking at 'they' having a true Change of heart, or are 'they' just looking for a Change in strategy?..... Forgive me for d plenty questions plz; just Wondering aloud..

naptu2:

Trains most likely. General Electric has had an agreement with the NRC to import train engines and coaches into Nigeria (mostly from Brazil) and refurbish the engines and coaches that we already have. However, late last year or early this year, they announced that they will build a plant in Nigeria where they'll manufacture trains for the NRC and for export. I suspect that this is the plant.

Train locomotive Engines and Engines for d many Power plants that wud be needed for what wud be one of d fastest growing IPPs in d world in d nx few years...

Where are d MODS? How do you people take thread to FP these days?

awodman: Yes ooo...Foreign investors pouring in like water...in GEJ's tenure investors keep setting up companies..WE NO LONGER HEAR ABOUT COMPANIES LEAVING NIGERIA like Dunlop and Co did..so that means something is definitely been done right...

Why wudn't they come. When you are undataking the Largest and most comprehensive Power Reform and Privatisation Program ever attemgted in d world (according to Harvard Business Sch), as well as undataking what is by far the most extensive Rehabilitation/Expansion of old and new Rail lines ever undataking at any time in yr nation's history, Serious Investors take note.. It is that simple

Rhino.5dm:


Stop this nonsense. I've been to Kano, Yobe, Borno, Bauchi, Plateau, Kaduna, Gombe and, few other north western states like Katsina. I did my nursery, primary, secondary and university education in a core north eastern state.

No Wonder...

@MODS, una still dey pretend say una dey sleep abi??

Garri the 1st:

Ayam not deceived!!

Jonathan can deceive himself and his wife, but not me....

LOL...and, who cares what are keyboard loving Lowlife like yrself thinks, anyways... STOP humouring yrself, abeg

So d MODS hv not seen this thread Or do not think it is FP worthy? If it was d other side now, they wud hv bn hyperactive about it..... It is bout time we started knowing who some these MODS are, and whose interests they really rep

gbanikiti: Senseless talk from a Clueless drunk! mtscheeew!

And this poool is smone else's wife...smh

Sincere 9gerian:
I created this thread and wrote the opening posts. Have you ever, ever criticised anything that has to do with ACN controlled states? That is the DIFFERENCE between chronic sycophants like @Gbawe on one hand and Sincere Nigerians on the other.

Appropiate response for a Pathetic GOON/Hypocrite...

The VC of UI just announced this week that its Fac of Pharmacy wud start a Post-graduate diploma programme on Herbal Medicine nx year....very, very Good moves and foresight all round

Good one Mr President and HOS....may we see more of such, and may it become a pattern we take for granted

Sincere 9gerian: The minister is currently speaking on the rice self-sufficiency policy. The target is to make Nigeria self sufficient in rice production by 2015. Already, there was dry season farming of rice this year FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF NIGERIA. About 1.2metric tonnes of rice was produced from the dry season rice farming. While Nigeria requires 2.5metric tonnes of rice to be self sufficient in rice. That is means, the 2015 target is within reach

Yap!!!

Oh Noooo...can't believe I missed my Favourite Minister's slot. Abeg, hw can I get the Soft copy of d Report for this Ministry?... When is d Trade and Investment Min doing his own? Wouldn't want to miss his too

It is really PATHETIC that there are actuali persons who believe this Concortion from Times..apart from d Opposition Rats, of course

bappahman: 16250 people will loose their jobs in the so called transformation...if Mr GEJ wants to reduce cost, he should start with his food (over a billon naira) nd other aso rock amenities (newspaper is bought a 250 per one)

Wudn't it be better if some of u just keep yr mouths SHUT, permanently if need be, rather than opening them and removing every doubt of your.....

juman: Best practice is that all level of governments should not sponsor anybody to hajj. nigeria is a poor country.

Anybody that want to go for hajj should pay by himself.

In complete Agreement. For both Muslim and Christain prilgrimages..
