For the person that talked about delta igbo n co, I aint against adding them as Adaure stated, but if one does so now, ull start seeing various disparaging comments on how one shouldnt force them into what they dont want. So I'll say lets, let's work with the current S.E configuration, then if other close groups wanna join, they can.

exactly my point. B4 they start saying that we are forcing them to be Igbos. Biko.

Adaure4ever:
I love ur point, An Abia/Imo combination, Enugu/Ebonyi combination, Anambra/Delta North combo.
Then Aba/Oyigbo lga, Egbema, Etche, Omuma development combo.
That will be terrific

Yeah, that will be better managed... then d success or otherwise of such will b d determine the establishment of d SEDC.... in another word, starting small then going big

Scholes007:
This should be done by the state govt not governors. The governors should just be a catalyst to that. The mandate of the ministry should be founded on planning the south eastern development. The should put up a plan of the infrastructural development of the region especially rail and electricity. They should bring up policies at the same time reflect on some of the policies that are of bottle necks to the development of the region (including lobbying the fg in terms of policies) . The rail should be trans-regional one where it should run like a circle. It should start from PH-Aba-owerri-Onitcha-Asaba in the first phase. Then another one from Aba-umuahia-Isuikwuato-ivo-Afikpo-Abakaliki. Then the upgrade of the enugu rail route to standard guage. The final phase should include covering the onitcha-awka-enugu-Abakaliki line.

This idea if actualized will b really great though it's gonna cost a lot considering d rail road in Imo state isnt working cos I had to stop at Umuahia n took a bus to Owerri when I boarded a train from the north last year

Adaure4ever:
Igbo Republican nature sometimes have its disadvantages like lack of centralization.
But that should not be a hinderance, there are Rich Igbo Men that can pay donate bountifully to this dream.

One does not necessarily have to be rich to contribute. When Imo Airport was built people contributed what they could afford and with present day situation anything from 500 Naira is good. The important thing is to make everything transparent.

Adaure4ever:
One Of My Deep passionate dreams is to see a well developed South East Geopolitical Zone.
South East comprise of 5 states, Abia, Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and for this states to be developed, they need to be centralized and united in planning.

Number 1
Setting Up A South East Developing Cooperation(SEDC) that will be sponsored by the 5 SE Governors and will have their branch offices in every states in the south east.

Number two
Opening Up A Joint saving Account Of The 5 SE States where
a) a deposit of atleast 200million per state governor will be made every month.
200million x 5 states=1 Billion per month
b)50million per month by the 15 senators in South East.
50million x 15= 750million per month
c) 10million per month by the 30
Federal house of reps from South East.
10millionx 30= 300million per month.
----
NOW ADD THEM UP TOGETHER= 1 Billion plus 750million plus 300million= 2 billion,50million naira.
----
Then if SEDC realise approximately 2 billion per month, multiply it by 12month= 24billion naira.
Multiply the yearly 24billion naira by 10years = 240Billion naira.
Thats means that 240billion naira will be in South East Development Cooperation(SEDC) account in just a span of 5years upon establishment.
---
- With 240billion invested in South East, will it not develop the Geopolitical zone the more, make it a hot investment zone and attract Igbo business men back.
For example,
- 1. If Akwa Ibom state completes its seaport, SEDC can build a Light Rail project from Aba to The seaport in Akwa Ibom, in order to boost up a close importation and revive south east economy.
---
- 2. SEDC can build a multipurpose industrial park in Nnewi, investors are on ground to key into the project.

----
- 3. SEDC can pull investors to invest in Enugu Coal inorder to Power up the South East. Enugu coal can serve the 5SE states in constant electricity for up to 100years.

----
- 4. SEDC can launch and build an Agro-industrial and processing zone in Ebonyi state inorder to tap into their Agricultural potential and create jobs.

----
- 5. SEDC can turn Owerri into an Educational and Tourism base in SE.
A University that will be international standard can be built in Imo and the tourism potential of the state harnessed like the oguta lake.
----
- 6. SEDC can fix SE federal roads by itself.
IGBOS, We are a unique people, let us look inward and develop the south east.
We are on our own in this country- Adaure4ever

This is why I am happy to be Igbo ...always thinking out of box and for a lady to thought out this ...the. It means we are thinking


Now we should hsve specialised clusters

Enugu can be administrative zone with emphasis on energy
Ebonyi can key into agricultural sector
Anambra can key into commerce
Imo will look towards eduction
Abia can focus on manufacturing and fa fabrication

Your Sims can be wonder takes all

I had a feeling this chick is one of those SE supremacist people. Why am I not surprised? See how she included Akwa ibom in her equation but Asaba, Ogwashi uku, etc were excluded. I guess we are inconsequential in her mind. Mschewwwwwwwww. This coming from the girl who claimed to be "fighting for igbo". We can clearly see where your "fighting for igbo" starts and end.

Worthless thread...only you stay opening useless thread...clap for yourself

Our people like talking unrealistic nonsense. Everyone should go and develop their own state at their own pace. Enough of all these useless threads here and there that does not reflect reality.

Abagworo:
When Nairaland had real Igbos devoid of Jonathan's paid agents and IPOB we engaged in fruitful discussions. People like Onlytruth, Asha80 not Chino's Asha90 clone and Ogbuefi alongside me were almost drawing out a good plan.

The most important thing is integrated fast rail system and optimal power generation for the entire zone. We have the money. If Igbos will ever agree I can personally donate 20million Naira as contribution for fast rail. I know others willing to drop 100 to 300 million here in Port Harcourt but the problem remains inability to agree on anything.

You Rochas puppy wehn never chop belle full wan donate 20 m. You wan take laugh wound persin?

Adaure4ever do you see what I was trying to tell you? Igboland is not limited to SE. Please adjust your original write up to include Delta north and Igbo parts of Rivers State.

Did I say Delta North as in all? Since when did ika and ukwani having identity crisis within their communities now the voice of all delta north? Oh in your head, Asaba, ogwashi-uku, etc have identity problem? Within your community, don't you SE have dilemma as well? Didn't aguleri and umuleri fight amongst themselves. Aren't they still fighting? Aren't few set of onitsha people claiming non igbo but you ignore those few because most onitsha claim igbo but don't do the courtesy for us. Hell i didn't see you excluding the idoma amd igala communities found in Enugu and Anambra state...last I checked, they aren't claiming igbo. But for us, "you have identity crisis" so inconsequential. Just look at you. Move!!!!!! SE supremacist. Na only you be the igbo community. Onye Ara.

I am so disappointed in you Chino. At your level you should be thinking about the good of the entire Igboland but all you care about is Anambra.

What a shame.

Don't suffer the foool gladly. According to her logic, Osun muslims should be carved into the north since Osun muslims are clashing with the Christians there.

ok sorry o, I was just trying to be cautious. No pun intended.

First se thread I'm impressed with
thinking outside the box
op kudos!

They are proposing to form SEDC when they even find it a tall order to unite.

Anambra with their supremacist swagger will always make other igbos feel like osu caste to them, in their usual practise.

Stop this shitt and respect yourself, damnit.
The US did not become a nation of 50 states overnight. Many of the states had to apply to join the union. Pueto-rico is still today trying to become the 51st US state even though it is already a US protectorate.
Stoping forcing people and creating enmity where it shouldn't exist. Develop the SE first and see if others would not want to join.

It is a tall dream but not unrealistic. The problem with some of us is that we identify a problem, propound some solution and without testing or weighing options we run it down as unrealistic because of some personal feelings. I know my people, when we come together forge a course ahead we always gain a goal against all odds. This zeal can only be harnessed with proper organisation. Look closely to investments flowing into the region lately you will notice it is because of self reawakening of our people and govt. For example Take a look at the number of power stations (both proposed and on-going) in the region, you will notice it is still been done on unorganised manner, this is because there is no body or institution managing it to include a region wide approach. That is why i supported what ada wrote on the need to form a development agency that will for see to these kind of regional developments, but I am not in support of the financeing part were she tends to place all the burden on the state or on the possible agency. Such approach will clearly be a clog to the wheel of the agency as some states will be unwilling to under take such. But a more realistic approach is were

i. This agency has the obligation to identify,harness, plan, and enforce some of it plans.
ii. States within the agency will work according to the regional plan as well plead for some modification if there be a need.
iii. The private sector then has to take over most of the capital projects in collaboration with the regional govt.

I just love this OP. How I really wish to meet her in person to discuss business.

ndo.

International standard like Lagos

EmmaFantastic:

That was because as we read in history and learnt from our parents, Nigeria at that time, was practising proper federalism which entails regionalism and goes with full resource control, so their destiny was fully in their hands. That's the only solution...really!

Wrong. Nigeria practised Federalism but NEVER Resources Control.

Nice post! Well I heard a seaport cn be built in abia. Nt necessarily that ur akwaibm calculatn.

Nice one OP. Buh I doubt it will work, not when you guys still do d 'Osu' thingy making some inferior.

Igbos are actually like jews, designed to flourish buh lack of unity is a big problem, one saying this, d other saying that.
That's by d way tho.. much love for SE #cheers
