I am so glad that my dad John Onobrakpeya and my uncle, Isiorho, Okuma and Edewor are nor alive to see what these young politicians are doing to Delta state, they've turned the state into their personal bank. A former governor of Delta state was prosecuted in the UK and incarcerated. When he was released and came back to the state. He was welcomed back with parades like a king. As if stealing is an honorable thing to do. Delta state has to be the most currupt state in Nigeria.

Delta people are one of the most dishonest people have dealt with. They so comfortable with fraud and corruption. When I went to Asaba I was shocked at the level of underdevelopment. It was just so bad. You hardly see paved roads or well maintained public buildings. How can we develop with this mindset. Our people are just interested in stealing and not development.

My only grouse is that the huge FAC disbursements received by Delta state from the FG have always been embezzled by successive governors. Whatever projects they claim to have executed are not comvincingly visible and proportionally equal to the income generated by the state which ranks highest in Nigeria after Lagos, Rivers and possibly Kano. Delta state has not been judiciously spending her huge income. That is worrisome.

If Delta State's financial resources are not being misappropriated, why does the state remain impoverished? Furthermore, why is there still a noticeable lack of adequate infrastructure? This raises questions about the effective management of the state's wealth and the transparency of its expenditures. Despite being rich in natural resources, the developmental progress of the state seems to lag behind. Are funds being channeled to the right sectors, or are there systemic inefficiencies hindering growth? The absence of visible improvements in public services and infrastructure underscores the need for accountability and better governance to ensure the state's resources benefit its citizens.

Okowa said he is Igbo 100% without knowing the implications of it. With Tinubu in power, Igbo must be destroyed, that was the major assignment seem to have been given to Tinubu and Shettima. Shettima what had earlier voiced it out in phone conversation with former governor of Ogun state, "Amuso". Let's see how far they can go without destroying Nigeria completely. Allen Onyema has been battling with the conspiracy within Nigeria and the West, he was repeatedly framed up and lied against in the past, he was repeatedly cleared by US courts, yet the conspirators are not given up. Even when he recently cleared in US, yet the Yoruba Ronus under Asiwaju refused to accept that, they go on saying it's a lie. Adenuga, Femi, Dangote, late MKO, who clearly committed illegal deals in Nigeria with the govt agencies, can never be mentioned bc they are the "chosen ones" from "Afonjo and Arewa".

The roads were worse and very bad. The whole community in Eku was so hungry. The funeral was time for them to eat properly and to be given some money. This is a state that should be wealthy with the best infrastructure. So what have the politicians been doing with the allocation to the state? The idea of not prosecuting governors while in office allows them to move and hide the stolen funds. You can't wait until a governor leaves office before they're arrested and prosecuted. A true democratic country, doesn't wait for a governor to leave office before they're prosecuted.
