General Azazi To Be Buried in Yenagoa As Hometown Accessible Only By Helicopter

True talk my brother, African and our tradition must be respected. Let Azazi be buried in his home land.

This is now an eye opener to the Izon elite's; Pips like Hon Nicholas Mutu of Akugbene mein, Godsday Orubebe the minister of Nigerdelta, Kingsley Kuku of Bayelsa State..just to mention but a few

its a piety for Azazi not to be buried in his hometown due to lack of tarred road,wht a shame for Nigerian government.

You see now! The wind blew just a little and the rump is out in the open!!
Isnt there supposed to be a virile water transport system useable by all? What about the ordinary citizen who live there - how have they been faring? Has Bayelsa State not earned more than enough over the years to make travel on their waterways not only a pleasure but a tourist's delight?
Alamieyeseigha, Sylva, Jonathan, Dickson et al sure need a change of heart for the better before their turn comes round!
Too many times you find them strutting about the corridors of power all starched up forgetting the locale they hail from!! Sad to say they are bad custodians of the trust reposed in them by their people!!!!!

All the development in Bayelsa is what Alams did. they crucified him to developing the state. No other Governor has added anything to it till now. If he had been allowed to complete his tenure, these villages would have roads by now. bayelsans only have themselves to blame for selling out their own like judas sold Jesus.

A lesson learnt the hard way. I'm in no doubt that whatever one didn't learn from many of the tragedies involving many Nigerians in general, and dignitaries in particular.It's one thing to look at poor maintenance of Nigeria's resources it is another to realise that while many leaderships present outward credibility, their positions are 'unfit for purpose'. The general and a governor died amidst speculations that the aircraft was overused-ultimately,a lack of sound preparation for such 'to-and'fro' flights. And now, dignitaries feel scared to attend the general's hometown for his burial because the road isn't motorable. Well, how about the need for present and successive administrations to 'get their acts together', because 'it could be you next'. What you sow you reap. This is not talking ill of the dead. However, some are guilty to God, by association. A nation lacking vision can not strategise, a lack of strategy is a failure to plan and failure to plan is plan to fail.

What's the rush, why not wait until "a motorable road leading to Peretorugbene" is built (& named after him) in his LGA than burying him among strangers. I know it's an abomination to bury "Diala" (Bale) among infidels. He was an Army General & pogrom hero, NSA with a slew of accolades, I strongly detest a culture that negates someone in death. If there was no trouble accessing the burial site for his Death Partner, Gov. Yakowa (pbuh), I believe what's good for Aboki is also good for Aborigine! Even in death they want to cheat the S'South, SETRACO must be compelled to complete the East-West road pronto. It will leave a good and lasting memory on the humble settlers of Ekeremor. That the death of their Great Son Azazi brought them closer to civilization, and also serves a cogent notice to Government Officials that neglect their duty to the people. Two birds! A whole army General has to lease a tomb in a foreign cemetry. Shameful. Animals!

In America, they transplant houses on a truck. Aborigines must not allow his Abuja Mansion fall into the hands of Abokis. He stole hard for it. "There are no motorable roads leading to Peretoru"-whatever! Imagine Government afraid to go where there's No Government presence. Reptile-infested waterways are certainly out of consideration, the Goodluck Jonathan Bridge fell to erosion B4 the floods, so the Hubson's Choice remains helicopter! Flight to hell for choppers. I thought the Navy recently claimed their choppers are airworthy, let them prove me wrong.

It's a shame that a Son of the Swamps & Army General has to seek Asylum in a Cemetary, buried among strangers because in all his heroism he neglected to build even one kilometer of road leading to his enclave. Anenih & Diezani were once "Minister for Works"...for mouth. Orubebe (owns Abuja Mansion) is Minister for the Niger Delta. Oritsejafor, Asari, Diezani and others own private jets. Mtcheeew!

Drunkards!

That is 9ja for u! An area which produced over 55 trillion from their oil resources for the nation state of 9ja, cannot be accessed by car except boat or choppers-Yet the SNGs, Tinubus, Buhari, Ocuppy 9ja and the teamribadu supporters club from the Fulani emirate want Oronto Douglas to be court marshalled for allowing the navy come to the aid of late Azazi and Yakowa during his fathers burial. I have said it here many ties that the SS is just wasting time with the rest of Nigeria-the SS will remain the way it was when oil was discovered in 1958. Unless they secede from Nigeria-all these talks about unity is rubbish! oil is a wasting asset and will be gone in less than 20yrs time-its better for the SS to be free in an oiless state than remain slaves in the bonded whare-house of the Wazobians-whose only desire is to cage the ppl of the SS 4 anoda 52yrs-Gej or no Gej!

Sack NSa Azazi!!!! that was the song that went with every new bombing. Now bombing continous and more deadly in even the most secure of places as an infantry HQ and no one i mean no body is crying for the dismissal of neither the IG nor the NSA. So who was masterminding all the singing then to instal their sons!!!

If they had not sold and betrayed Alams to the cabal he would have completed all those roads by the time his second term expires. Thos who took over, we did not see any development and yet no money in the coffers of the state. All the development we see is what Alams did and where he stopped is where all development stopped.

Great Man.

...like Mark Anthony of Julius Caesar told Octavian in their match towards avenging the wrong in Rome, I also say to you.."We shall again meet in Phillipi". This time, not to avenge the injustice in Rome, but to avenge the injustice suffered by the Oil producing United States of the SS&SE.

You are a brave one. Even in death you are not diminished. My only grudge against you is that you did not plan a SS coup while in office as Mukoro did. But I have forgiven you bcos u made up for that in so many ways by damning the musings of the unproductive North & West that sponsor Boko Haram bcos they want to wrestle power from the SS.

Even your sneeze from the grave will send them panicking. Nothing do you.

Long live the United States of The SS&SE.

I can't believe there's no roads leading to Azazi's hometown. It's indeed a shame how far we have fallen as a nation. No one is accounting for the millions of petro dollars accrued in the past 52years. The only thing working in naija as of today is the entertainment industry, nollywood and co. This is the only thing that naija, home and abroad can be proud of as a nation. Thanks to the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Ramsey Nouah jnr, Jim Iyke, Tuface Idibia, D'banj, P'square, Ice Prince and the rest of them all. If naija were a sane nation the above names were the people who deserves any form of award so as to encourage young upcoming artists. But rather they prefer giving it to their co-looters. The gov't should invest in the entertainment industry as it has proven to be the only working institution over the years. Any other sector they invest in have been manipulated and the money siphoned. Naija it's on his knees, who will bail us out. Where's the messaih???

How much will it take Bayesa State and the Fed Gov to construct a road leading to this village na wa o. Even when this man was in power he never think of fighting for constructing road to his village. It is a shame to all who are in the power not to consider doing something tangible to their village. Adage says inside the black pot comes out a pap -(Ninu ikoko dudu leko funfun ti jade)
I dont blame these people who doesnt want to risk their life who know the next person to be targeted. God save Nigeria

'No motorable roads leading to Peretorugbene'. Just imagine this in Bayelsa, a state with only 8 local governments, with less than 2 million people, with half of the landmass in water, and with a monthly federal government grant of an amount equal to that of five states of the north. Still the people there think of themselves as enlightened, smart and educated.

stark reality...may be they'll start fixing te roads as air travel is becoming unpredictable.

Road oh! rail oh! Water oh! Pipeline oh! Cable oh! Abi na helicopter. When it comes calling we must answer. Just treat us rite. RIP Azazi sir.

What a shame , Late Gen. Azazi , was chief of Army staff , Chief of Defence staff , and NSA , and no road to his village ? . Our leaders can invest millions of stolen money in Ghana , South Africa , Europe , the Americas , but not the most basic in their own villages and their people .
May His Soul Rest in Peace .

lies lies lies. you cash on a mishap and blow it out of proportion. GOD IS JUDGING.

CAN WE SAY THAT THERE NOW A PHOBIA FOR AIR TRAVEL? If d late General will b buried in Yenegua bcos of a phobia 4 helicopter travel, what about aeroplane travel? Is it safe? What about d roads from PH 2 Yenegua or Warri 2 Yenegua or Owerri 2 Yenegua? Are they safe and motorable? U cant run away from ur shadow.

Once upon a time, d govts left d roads in shabby states thinking that they will always use d air since d roads are 4 d poor masses. Now, even d air is fast bcoming scary. If d rulers/leaders think d ruled/followers will suffer from their corrupt and insensitive leadership styles, they are making a great mistake. They shall all b victims of their actions either by chopper or jet. They should remember that bad roads, poor aviation policies, cover-ups of air crash reports, etc are all waiting 4 them!

Look what they did to my boy. I don't want his family to see him like this so I need you to use your skills and make him nice.

Why on earth should the idiosyncracies of guests determine where a man is buried? I think someone's deliberately & mischieviously obfuscating certain facts

TOTAL WASTE OF SPACE AND A DAMN SHAME. KARMA IS A BITCH.

That is how the region that has been laying the golden eggs that the Hausa/Fulani and their Yoruba collaborator technocrats,military personnel and politicians have been stealing since our independence.No road leading to Peretorugbene,is this justice? why are they afraid? only the guilty are afraid,I hope that they meet such fate quickly.

Why dem dey fear? Abi na only poor man reach to die? Not to worry, you can not hide from death especially those of you in the corridors of power who have the authority to right things in Nigeria. it will get you one way or the other.

A region responsible for producing the mostly squandered oil and gas dollars cannot afford access to it's towns,our leaders need to bury their miserable heads in shame,indeed the misfits don't deserve an iota of respect.
The Azazi family should kindly find a way and bury the late General in his home town,that is African culture,if the cowardly looters cannot find their way to the funeral that should be left for their conscience,if they have any.
This is an open lesson to all looters,stealing money meant for national development is like shooting oneself in the feet,it is penny wise pound foolish.God is angry at the thieves so Nigerians just watch and see,in future some of them would wish they were dead.

RIP, but it is very disheartening to learn that after being in government for many years, holding one of the best political appointment in the country and having the best career and position in the Military, knowing the problem/s associated with his village, he did not deem it necessary to tar the road leading to the place even if that is the only thing he was able to do for himself and his people through his position and affluence.
What is the essence of being in government if you can not help your people to have at least basic necessity of life which road is one of? people need road to transport both themselves and their produce.
Anyway Rest in Peace.

If una no go meet death, death go come visit una, at least death sabi una addresses. You refused as Deputy governor, Governor, Vice-president and President of Nigeria to fix our roads. We for Pere know say even for road una no safe.
