PROUD-IGBO:
I think of all the geo-political zones, the south east has the worst federal roads.

Please can somebody tell me what OBJ did in/for the south east from 1999 to 2007 (apart from Onitsha-Owerri road)? Besides what we got in the general scheme of things (like GSM), that pot-bellied bastard did next to nothing: not 2nd niger bridge, not Onitsha river port, not upgrading the status of Enugu airport and reconstructing it, not Benin-Ore road, not Port Harcourt-Enugu road, not siting any federal industry/factory in the south east, not attracting nation building institutions to the south east like you have in Zaria/Kaduna/Lagos.....that man and his friends in the core north are the problem of Ndigbo, and have just been acting out the script of holding Igbos down and ensuring nothing happens in the south east.....and you wonder at the social/economic problems our youth are facing today?

It's only with the coming of GEJ that we finally have some sense of belonging.

God is watching, and no wicked deed goes unpunished!

dedeike: I don't know the document you read but I will chronicle my own assessment for you.

In roads, Zaria-Funtua-Gusau roads, Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works, dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, re award for reconstruction of ENUGU-Onitsha, completion of OWERRI -Onitsha, 9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 26km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation. Keffi -Akwanga-Lafia, Auchi-Okene being handled by Setraco. Loko-Eweta-Karishi bridge, Kolo-Nembe -Brass to mention but a few.

.

mikeywise:
what sense of belonging are you talking about? please if u have not, try and visit that Enugu - PortHarcourt road and see things for yourself.

ZUBY77:

Tell me any good thing a Yoruba man has done for an Igbo man.
Awolowo, OBJ and Tinubu. Even the lowly seun Osewa bans Igbos here on nairaland however he wants.
Those cowards hates Igbos as if we are their enemies while fulanis butcher their women in Ogun state.

Imagine how fast OBj and his two yoruba friends sold out Bakassi without care, i wonder if they could have done the same with Badagry or any other town in South west. Thieves and murderes

Rhea: [size=16pt]We can start an enlightenment campaign by taking pictures of these sore sights in our environment and uploading them here for the world to see.
In addition, I also suggest we take pictures of both the good and bad sights around us and upload them for posterity. Let us put the cameras in our phones to use. [/size]

mens dept: Yep, the truth is the SOuth East is nothing more than a local region in the sense of it being Villagistic.

No world class Int'l airport
No world class Cargo airport (for all those fools wanting to build cargo awpts everywhere)
No world class highways, bridges, roads, railways, seaports, nor bus system
No world class stadium, university, or mall
No world class city, clubs, libraries, churches, recreation centers, parks

Nothing but heavy pride price, Red caps to wear with feather, buying and selling, buying property in Abuja and Lagos and cry when Boko Haram takes what is theres...

Meanwhile Abia State alone has a yearly budget of US $800 Million, Imo $700 Million, Enugu, Ebonyi, the rest the same.

They are a disgrace compared to even the arm stickened Biafran Regime that operated an International Airport and stood against hell fire for 3 years.

amor4ce: If I remember correctly, contracts were awarded during OBJ's civilian regime for he rehabilitation/(re)construction of federal roads in the south east geopolitical region, some Igbo people accused him of marginalization because it appeared nothing was being done about those roads, only for him/his administration to reveal that the concerned contracts (not sure if ALL) were awarded to Igbo contractors. Perhaps Nairaland Ndigbo (I hope I used this term correctly) should investigate the contracts that have been awarded since 2009 for the roads, the contractors, and make public their findings so as to get to the root of the matter rather and avoid making unfounded allegations.

centje: you beef is really blinding your judgement. What has this thread got to do with election. The election waz won by GEJ the earlier you live with it the better for you.
Now dude most state that will undertake federal projects get or mobilize huge revenue monthly. Check how much a state like ebony gets annually and compare that with some other states including lagos. Same with other south east states.

On the other hand,has lagos state been able to recover their money since then?
Its nt as simple as you think,dude!

geez*:

Any governor that is serious about developing his state will fix an economically important federal road and make claims from the FG later. Lagos has done this severally.

liberty300: . if you would remember,state governments were banned from construction of federal roads during ngige/obj saga.now state government in the southeast require express consent from the fg to construct federal roads. take the enugu/onitsha road that has been constructed for nearly five years nw
