It must be pointed out that when a people misplaces priorities, they begin to live a confused life. Since the loss of President Jonathan at the poll, there are insignificant few who does not want to come to terms with the reality on ground. These persons have cashed in to the misguided message of a man based in London and who might not suffer any consequence of his unguarded utterances and resurrection of a painful experience over 35 years ago.

This misguided few go by the Name Indegeneous People of Biafra. (IPOB) they have been engaging in protests. What they are protesting for is unclear to me. But here are lists of what they should channel their energy into instead of the present one they have embarked on.
________________________________________________________
1. GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THE SOUTH EAST: Imagine these IPOB supporters carrying placards that they demand good governance from all Five South East Governors. That they want the allocation that is received by South East Governors to be judiciously used to develop the area. That the available resources should be harnessed for the betterment of the people. This will be lauded than wearing black and blocking the only road that connect your region and others.
________________________________________________________
2. GOOD LEADERS : Are you kidding me? After the poor leadership exhibited by T.A Orji he was still voted into the senate? The South East is lacking in terms of quality leaders full of integrity and ready to work for the people. These IPOB supporters should demand that they be represented by leaders of proven integrity.
________________________________________________________
3. EDUCATION OF THE POPULACE: Many believe that a particular region are the ones that are more uneducated in the country or has more illiterates. This is erroneously erroneous. Someone stays in London and ask you to stockpile arms for war, you should kill other tribes, and many heeded to his wrong command and even started disturbing the peace of a Nation cos such person was arrested? In 21st century? I wont say much on this.
_______________________________________________________
4. STATE CREATION: The time and energy used in blocking Onithsa bridge, imagine channeling such energy in demanding from the legislatures one more State for the region. Have a conference where they will mandate all their representative to push for at least this singular agenda even though its their only achievement in four years.
________________________________________________________
5. POLITICAL RESTRUCTURING: The south east is always miscalculating politically and this the end product of bad leadership. Ojukwu contested and they voted Obasanjo, there was a candidate of Igbo extraction in Lagos and they left him to rally behind Jimi Agbaje how? Seriously how? You saw a man whose six years in power was a disaster you decided to throw all your weight behind him. Just because Ngige was in APC you left him and voted Ekwunife thereby losing the senate presidency. There is need for serious overhaul of the political structure of the south east party sentiments should be replaced with outstanding individual qualities of integrity, accountability and believe in the development of the people.
________________________________________________________
6. PURGING THE PEOPLE OF UNECESSARY POLITICAL SENTIMENTS: The South East needs to be purged of some meaningless, unnecessary, irrelevant and unprofitable political sentiments. APC is an Islamic party, they are Bokoharam party. Do you mean it? No wonder APGA has not gone beyond Abia State because it should be regarded as Yahoo Yahoo , Ritualists, and 419 party. No party was registered in a particular region they were all registered at the National level and should serve as platform to actualize anybody's political ambition no matter your tribe or religion. The South South should be weary of this type of sentiments and avoid it because some discord creators have started creating this impression on the region and it should be resisted. You want the presidency of this country and you are demonizing a party? What if that party is your only sure way of climbing to that post will you get there? IPOB supporters should use their energy to pursue this course and change this type of sentiments in the SE.
________________________________________________________
7. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH EAST: I would have left my duty post to join the demonstrations if it was for development of the south East. Such developmental issues like Second Niger bridge, a seaport, building of industries, etc should have formed the basis for the protests. Business men and women from the region prefer to invest more outside than in the region. Go to Trade Fair, Alaba Market, Computer Village, Kano Main Market etc. They form major stakeholders in this places. Development of the region is needed more and should be vogorously pursued.

Op must you wait for ipob...
Why can't you start one.
Or are there no groups that can take it upon themesleves to start it.

I still believe that the full meaning of IPOB still remains indigenous people of Biafra.

If I were a promoter, I would only promote people who voice the tone of their hearts against those who sing the tone of their pockets.

MORNDEW:

Believe Whatever you like, the message have been passed and only your friend will give you a good advice.

My message has also been passed. And if you don't answer me, people will know you as an hypocrite.

You are a good friend. You can only advise but can't start or do what you preach.

You are fking mischievous. And no one will take you serious.

IPOB still remains indigenous people of Biafra.
Not indigenous people of south east.

The IPOB youths will come for you when they see this thread. They'll fall on you like locusts on farms.










Are you ready for the inevitable onslaught?

This Apc zombie doesn't even know the actual name of the people he is writing about.

MORNDEW:

The problem of the south east is ignorance not the civil war or islam or Nigeria.
I wonder how a set of people would avtuall believe that a man on radio that says he has over 20 certificates would break a country like Nigeria.
Most of them believe that since they have fought a civil war before that a war cannot be fought again but this time according to them the country will just break up.
To make matters worst any right thinking human being dat saw what happened in Zaria would use there heads, the Nigerian army is on a shoot out spree they keep no a prisoners.
Some of them dont know that they themselves are the main cause of the civil war, to some of them northerners just woke up one day killed Aguiyi Ironsi and started killing there people in the north.
AM IGBO AM FROM THE EAST, IMO state to be precise its not about APC or PDP am just not ignorant.

Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and eight-four pupils, comprising 10, 807 males and 3,977 females, sat for the examination in the state.

Who should we blame?

Do I know them?

MORNDEW:

It's for you that is informed to let them know.

waking up without mentioning Igbo people or ipob name will make some people mad

MyGeneration:
The problem of the south east is ignorance not the civil war or islam or Nigeria.
I wonder how a set of people would avtuall believe that a man on radio that says he has over 20 certificates would break a country like Nigeria.
Most of them believe that since they have fought a civil war before that a war cannot be fought again but this time according to them the country will just break up.
To make matters worst any right thinking human being dat saw what happened in Zaria would use there heads, the Nigerian army is on a shoot out spree they keep no a prisoners.
Some of them dont know that they themselves are the main cause of the civil war, to some of them northerners just woke up one day killed Aguiyi Ironsi and started killing there people in the north.
AM IGBO AM FROM THE EAST, IMO state to be precise its not about APC or PDP am just not ignorant.

Thanks bro. They think we that don't support this fruitless venture are not igbos.

Anything we suffer now i blame ourselves for it not even Gej or anybody.
I wonder who sees a sinking ship and yet still sticks to it, Gej was sure to loose the election any right thinking set of people was it not to abandon ship but some certain people not igbos but i prefer to call them former Tan ambassadors present and presently IPob, that believe secession is by trekking from PH to Aba to Onitsha.
I watched the scene on Nairaland how people like Abagworo, Beremx, lygn19 and others told u people to support Apc and Buhari but its either u Ipob people called them traitors, or okoroausa or that imo state people are traitors and back stabbers.
APC won it didnt reach 3months even Ijaws started joining APC, even Igbo senators tried to transfer to APC, when the time for appointments came to show how silly and ignorant most of these people are they were saying they dont need political appointment... Tomorrow Igbo land is under developed and u wud blame Nigeria.

My last advice for igbos let's start kidnapping or killing our leaders one by one, they are all stupid imagine that of all the Igbo senators no one has ever argued or moved any motion thats pro south east or pro igbos, u hardly hear that igbo senators involve in any argument in the national assembly, why because they are just seating statues whose only work is not to do anything for our people than just to receive salaries and still use that same money to oppress us in the east.

Frank Ojukwu, Typical gala seller, They will always blame yoruba for there own misfortune, no wonder you continue to blame your yoruba landlord for your family problem. Face your pathetic life and leave yoruba out of your misfortune.

MORNDEW:

It's 2015, the deadline for the first set of the Millennium development goals.

[b]Download the complete report here: http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/pages/download/254

GOAL 1: TO ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER

Target 1c: Halve between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

Indicator 1.8: Prevalence underweight children under five year of age.

In the year 2008, the proportion of underweight children going by the national average was 23.1%. It went up to 27.4% in 2012 but declined to 25.5% in 2014. For lack of data, concrete trend cannot be established with this report. Although Nigeria has attained the hunger target according to other reports, yet more interventions are needed not only for the under-five children but for their mothers in order to alleviate them completely from the scourge of hunger.

GOAL 2: ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION

Target 2A: Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.

Indicator 2.1: Net enrolment in primary education.

In 2014, The states with very high attendance ratios included Anambra (94%), Delta (92.80), Imo (90.7), Lagos (92), Ondo (92.4), Osun (91.6), Edo (91.0), Ekiti (93.6) and FTC (94.1) while the least were Bauchi (29.9), Sokoto (24.80), Yobe (23.7), Zamfara (37.80).

At the national level, the net attendance ratio was 61% in 2008 and it increased to 71% in 2012. In 2014, there was a shortfall of 2.3% and the net attendance for 2014 thus dropped to 68.7%. When classified by sectors, net attendance in the urban (84.3%) was much higher than in the rural areas (62.2%). Across the geopolitical zones, it was very encouraging in the South East (90.5%), South South (88.1%), South West (87%) and North Central (80.2%). But in the North West (50.5%) and particularly North East (42.5%) net attendance was not impressive.
Although 100% attendance is expected, the result shows that Nigeria is on track.

Indicator 2.2: Primay Six Completion Rate

Nationally completion rate according to fig. 2.2 in 2004 was 82%. It increased to 87.7% in 2012 and dropped to 74.0 in 2014. Within the 2014, the completion rate was higher in the urban (84.4%) when compared with the rural (69.7). In the zones, completion rate was highest in South East (98.7%) zone, followed by South West (94.1%). Primary six completion rate was poorest in the North East (49.5%) zone. Nigeria is also on track.

Indicator 2.3: Literacy rate of 15 – 24 years, women

The literacy rate of youth women between 2004 and 2014 at the national level increased from 60.4% in 2004 to 80% in 2008. In 2012, it declined to 66%. Although it slightly appreciated in 2014 (66.7%), but that is insignificant. At the state level, literacy of youth women aged 15 – 24 was very encouraging in states like Rivers (98%), Enugu (97%), Imo (95%), Akwa Ibom (95%), Delta (94.1%), Anambra (93%), Ekiti (92.7%), Abia (91.3%). Conversely, literacy rate among woman of age 15 – 24 was poor in Sokoto (10.7%), Bauchi (13%), Yobe (16%) etc.

Sectorally, the survey showed that there were more literate youth women (85.3%) in the urban as against the 57.8% recorded in the rural areas. In the zones the literate youth women in the South East (93.5%) were much higher than the rest of the zones. North East (33.0%) and North West (35%) had the lowest percentage of literate youth women in 2014.

GOAL 3: PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN

Target 3.A: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels of education no later than 2015.

Indictor 3.1: Ratio of girls to boys in Primary and Secondary education

Nationally, the gender parity in the primary school in 2008 was 0.9. The interpretation is that in every 9 girls in primary school in 2008, there were 10 boys. It increased to 1.0 in 2012 implying 10 girls in every 10 boys. The parity index increased to 1.02 in 2014. The rural (1.01) and urban (1.01) were equal. The GDIs across the zones were exceedingly encouraging. In the secondary schools in 2012, the gender parity index was 1.02. The decline to 1.01 in 2014 was insignificant. There were no disparity in both the rural (1.0) and urban (90.98) in 2012. Nigeria has already achieved gender parity index as illustrated in fig 3.1a, being a chart of gender parity in both primary and secondary schools distributed by state in 2014.

GOAL 4: REDUCED CHILD MORTALITY

Target: Reduce by two thirds between 1990 and 2015, the mortality rate among children under five years old.

Indicator 4.1: Under five Mortality Rate (U5MR)

About ten years ago specifically 2004 (201), Nigeria’s average under five mortality rate was very high. But right from then, there has been a steady decrease till 2014 when there was a record of only 89 children dying before their fifth birthday in every 1000 live births. See Fig4.1. Although the national average in 2014 was 89, yet some states had numbers much higher than the national average. The states include Kogi (169), Katsina (155), Kaduna (167) etc. The death prevalence in 2014 however was much more in the rural areas with 98 deaths against the 66 in the urban. North West zone with 121 and North East zone with 78 had the highest under five mortality rate than the other zones. South West zone had 45 as the least. If the rate in 2004 is adopted as the base value, it implies that some zones and states would have met the MDGs target on under five mortality before 2015.

Indicator 4.2: Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)

The deaths of infants under one year per 1,000 live births in Nigeria was also very high in 2004 where 100 children died without seeing their first birth day in every 1,000 live births. The deaths of infants have been on the decrease since 2008 in which 75 infants died per 1000 till 2014 with a record of 58. The prevalence of infant mortality in 2014 was more prominent in the rural areas with a record of 63 deaths than the urban with a record of 46 deaths per 1000 live births. Across the zones, the North West with 77%, followed by South East with 69, had more infants dying without seeing their first birth day in every 1000 live births.

Indicator 4.3 – Proportion of one year old children immunized against measles.

Measles vaccination is becoming popular and the coverage is improving though slowly. Fig4.3 shows that between 2004 and 2012, the measles vaccination of children under one year of age staggered between 50% and 55.8%. In 2004, there was a record of 50%. It went down to 41.4% in 2008 and appreciated again to 55.8% in 2012. There was a significant increase in 2014 in which 63.1% of children under one year were immunized against measles. The analysis of the survey result by geo-political zones showed that over 80% of one year old children were immunized in South East (82.4%), South West (81.2%) and South South (80.3%). Although North Central (77.0) was not bad, yet North East (42.4) and North West (35.4%) were not encouraging. One year old children were predominantly immunized in the urban areas (56.2%) than the rural areas (39.95).

GOAL 5: IMPROVED MATERNAL HEALTH

Target 5.A. Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the Maternal Mortality Ratio.

The 2004 Maternal Mortality ratio of 800 in every 100,000 live births crashed to 545 in 2008. The performance tracking survey of 2012 recorded a further decrease to 350 per 100,000 live births and the downward trend consistently maintained its course to 2014 with a record of 243 per 100,000 live births. As a remark, the 2014 estimation was strictly based on women within the age bracket of 15 to 49 years, as opposed to the 2012 age bracket of 15 to infinity. The rationale behind this is that the child bearing age for women is within that bracket. Based on this, Nigeria is at the verge of meeting the target on maternal mortality.

Indicator 5.2: Proportion of Births attended by skilled health care attendants.

A zonal disaggregation of this trend shows that of the children born within the period of reference, South East (89.1%) had the highest record of delivery assisted by skilled birth attendant. Eighty three percent was recorded in South West. North Central and South South zones respectively had a record of 67.2% and 64.4%. The least were in North East (30.8%) and North West (24.8%). Sectorally, the urban areas with 79.2 had higher proportion of deliveries assisted by trained personnel’s while the rural areas had 46.6%.

Target 5B: Achieve universal access to reproductive health by 2015

Indictor 5.3: Contraceptive Prevalence Rates:

This is the percentage of women aged 15 – 49 years that use any method of family planning. The use of contraceptive is gradually gaining general acceptance. In 2004, only 8.2% of women within the stated age bracket used contraceptive measures for family planning. The percentage increased to 14.6% (about 78% increases) in 2008. It appreciated further in both 2012 (17.3%) and 2014 (18.5%). Contraceptive prevalence was highest in South East zone with a of 43%, followed by South West (24.0%). The prevalence in the urban areas (16.7%) was higher than that of the rural (9.7%).

Indicator 5.5: Antenatal Care Coverage.

In 2008, only 8.2% of the pregnant women attended antenatal for one visit while 44.8% attended for at least 4 visits. In 2012 66.3% of them attended for at least one visit and 57.8% for at least four visits. The record in 2014 was that about 25% of the women that were pregnant never attended antenatal visits. At the same time, 68.9% attended at least once while 60.6% attended for four times and over. The number of visits for antenatal was encouraging in the urban where 75.9% of pregnant women had at least four visits. The rural rears were no exception as 51.6% of the pregnant women visited over four times. With regard to the zones, South East (88.3%) had the highest number of visits. South West (78%), South South (64.1) and North Central (65.80) had encouraging number of antenatal visits. But very few pregnant women in North West (38.1%) and North East (32.9%) attended antenatal up to four times.

Indicator 5.6: Unmet Needs for Family Planning

In 2004, there were about 17% of women in this category. They increased to 20.2% in 2008 and 21.5% in 2012. However, there was a marginal increase in 2014 (22.2%). The prevalence of unmet need was more in the rural sector (22.4%) than the urban (21.8%). Across the zones, there were higher incidences of unmet need in North West (27.4) and North East (25.8%) than the rest of the zones. The experience was very low in the South East (11.4%).

GOAL 6: COMBAT HID/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER MAJOR DISEASES

Target 6.C: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases

Indicator 6.3: Percentage of Young Women aged 15 – 24 years with comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDs

Knowledge of HIV/AIDS and related diseases among the young women is increasing. There is a general consciousness that HIV/AIDS is real. In 2004, only 18.3% of the young ladies within age 15 – 24 years had comprehensive and correct knowledge about HIV/AIDS prevention, and transmission and others. There was a rise in this percentage in 2012 (33%). There was not much difference in the record for 2014 (32.8%). Thus the trend remained at the national level. But in the sectors, the urban areas with 37.8% showed that there were more young women with comprehensive knowledge than the 30.5% in the rural. At the level of the zones, a large percentage of the young ladies in North Central had comprehensive knowledge. Besides the North Central zone were the South East (37.3%), South West (34.3%) and South South zone (33.2%). Both the North West (26.5%) and particularly North East (23.2%) had little proportion of young ladies with comprehensive knowledge about HIV/AIDs.

Indicator 6.7: Proportion of children under 5 sleeping in insecticide – treated bed nets

It has to be recalled that only 2.2% of children in 2003 slept in insecticide treated nets. The percentage went up to 34.6% in 2012. The trend showed no difference in 2014 as 34.7% of the children slept in insecticide treated bed nets in the night preceding the survey. Across the sectors showed that the urban areas (41.7%) had more children who slept in insecticide treated bed nets than the rural with a record of 31.2%. In the zone the percentage of children sleeping in insecticide treated bed nets lingered between 47% and 17.8%. Similarly, 28.5% of pregnant women slept in insecticide treated bed nets in 2014 against the 30.3% record of 2012. Majority of the pregnant women were from the South West (45.3%) zone as compared to the least in North East (16%) zone.

GOAL 7: ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Target 7.C: Halve by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation

Indicator 7.8: Proportion of population using an improved drinking water source

And Indicator 7.9: Proportion of population using an improved sanitation facility

Fifty seven percent of Nigeria households had access to improved water source in 2004. In 2008, there was a slight decrease to 55.8 percent. Fifty seven percent was recorded again in 2012 while in 2014 there was an increase to 62.2%. Access to improved sources of drinking water has been unstable in Nigeria. Although in 2014, the urban areas recorded about 74.6% against the 57.6% of the rural, yet access within the zones showed that it was only in South West that a 70.6% access to improved sources was recorded. The rest of the zones lingered between 68% and 53%.[/b] These are are basic things in life and south east is leading
