Useless politicians!... Always fanning the embers of discord for their selfish political reasons.

Now PDP had been in power for 16 years and Reno can his boss sat in power for 5 good years when Nigeria made more revenue than every other Nigerian regime combined.

Now can Reno kindly point out what he and his boss did for the SE zone besides appointing plenty thieves to just go fill up their private pockets and oppress others?... After all the noise made about resuscitating the Enugu airport, did they not embezzle the billions meant to fix the runway?... Today the runway is still riddled with potholes and international airlines have refused to land there but APC is to be blamed according to the mocker.

I wouldn't even want to go into details of the PH international airport which is barely 30 mins from Aba (PH airport is closer to Aba than abuja airport is to abuja), the only international airport in the SS zone where Reno and his boss hail from. By the way, Aba does not need an airport as prove for anything, if the short road linking Aba and PH can be fixed, and if the PH airport can be fixed, ABA DOES NOT NEED AN AIRPORT. But can someone remind us of the state of PH airport even when Reno and his boss ruled for 5 years with all the revenue in this world?

Now regarding airports in general, the FG hasnt being in the business of building new airports in a long time. An international airport was built in every zone in the country, all other airports built are by state governments, if the state governments of Anambra and Abia have refused to build airports, how can this be used as an example of marginalisation?... so who then is marginalising who exactly?... Why cant we just exercise our brains by sticking to only the meaningful arguments?... I'm sure some slow brains would soon come attacking 'Obailala's Igboness' because of this comment.

raker300:
Apc and Amaechi are a shame..

Instead of contrstucting the rail lines to include these manufacturing hubs, they rather play politics of hate
In defence of Amaechi regarding rails, leadership is a continuum and current railway masterplan wasn't drawn by him, Amaechi only inherited a railway modernisation plan from his predecessors and the last I checked, it was Reno's people who decided on the current railway map. Now the fraudsters are conveniently playing on the gullibility (or should I just say intellectual blindness) of the people by playing the ethnic card to pass the blame to the 2 year old APC govt still struggling to come out of recession. Meanwhile the last time I checked, the rail modernisation plan passes through Aba (I'm not sure why you chose to ignore this known fact).

Please answer this question

Who is marginalizing south east people between PDP that spent 16yrs in government with active Igbo people or APC that have spent 2yrs in government in which South East (Igbos) refused to embrace?


Where was Reno Omokri for 5years when his Hero was President and Igbo Adopted Son? Where was his senses to request for a airport for the south East

Remembered we have recent two past Aviation ministers from South East Stella Oduah and the other man, why are they not bothered about having international airport?

So it is when Buhari won Presidency that their dead brain wike up to know what they want?

SHAME on all the Igbos that are dying for PDP for the past 16years and do not know their priority.
SHAME on all the Past Aviation Minister from South East
SHAME on Reno Omokri for working with Igbo adopted son for 5yeras and can't give them international airport

The guy's comment you quoted and yours are flawless.

It's magnanimous to see how these set of human beings wail to heaven when their very own in power could not fix the needed infrastructure in their region for consecutive periods of power in aviation sector due to unimaginable corruption on their path.

It's very shameful when they lost their relevance at the helms of power, they are wailing like frustrated baboon.

I am disappointed at the Igbos, for goodness sake you the Igbo tribe is a major tribe in Nigeria. A major stakeholder in the creation of Nigeria and it's independence from the colonial government. Align with other major tribes and get your own share of the cake stop crying marginalization up and down. If you crying marginalization what should the minority tribes be crying of? Stop practising politics of hate, you hate Yoruba and Hausa the other two major ethnic group and you expect to get rewards.

I respect Rochas alot, also the likes of Ngige they are very matured politicians who know to get your fair share out of Nigeria you have to forget the bitter past of the Civil war and align with the other major ethnic groups.

Ijaws are fast overcoming the Igbos in Politics of Nigeria and are getting their share out of Nigeria.

Sometimes I wonder what is it about the Igbos that makes every other tribe in Nigeria hate them.
When it comes to all ills associated with Nigeria, all other tribes re not exempted, so why the hate.

Name any crime associated with Nigeria, you will not fail to see an individual from every tribe that's has been involved one way or the other.

So why always the IGBOS.

What is funny is some Nigerians particularly yorubas think it's natural and okay for Lagos to have 2 seaports and largest functional international airport by design and for SE to have none. Some actually think Lagos has all these ports and airport by merit. When you try to to reason with them that why are Port Harcourt, Calabar, Warri, Onne and Onitsha ports not as functional as Lagos ports, they come up with all manners of excuses but you tell that that Dangote is using Calabar seaport to import most of his goods into SE, and then they keep quiet.Lol! Same goes for the airport, why are Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna and Kano the only functional airports in the country for international direct flight services? The fact is if you go right now, I mean now, to Lagos and Abuja, count and interview those traveling to international destinations, I assure you over 50% are Igbos. Then why can't they travel directly from Enugu, Uyo, Calabar, Asaba or Port Harcourt? Same goes for their goods...all these companies Reno talked about in Nnewi, Aba and Onitsha import their goods via Lagos port, that's over 1000 kms drive and paying all kinds of customs fees and bribes on the way to finally make it to SE, and you tell me this is fair?

Yorubas...how will you people feel having to drive 1000kms to SE to fly and clear your goods? Not only do you do this one time only but a constant thing for the past 50 yrs? And you tell it's ok? Yorubas....where are your conscience? Do you people have feelings at all? Do you have hearts? I commend Fayose and Fani but more yorubas need to come out and condemn this evil and wickedness!

Are you blaming Yorubas for the inability of SE politicians to get an international airport from PDP 16 years government?, Yorubas are in opposition for 16 good years na.

If nothing is working in your state blame your leaders both past and present, if Fulani herds men are killing your people blame the state house of assembly for not making laws. It's time to call a spade a spade, Igbos holds the economy of Nigeria and yet they are not united. Very shameful, with all their wealth they can't build an airport, what are your governors doing? Where are the Igbos that Queen Elizabeth met in the 1950s , marveled by the type of structures they have in the east? Instead they are busy developing the north with 5star hotels. Please, lets stop blaming Federal government or political parties, blame your leaders.

They need to make money now. Don't blame them for building hotels that will generate revenue for them. A business man will always move to places where he can either sell his goods or produce it cheaper. However, people should start holding their leaders responsible (e.g. House of reps, Senators, govs etc).

Why are you waiting for more yoruba's to help you cry your cry. What has igbos having a seaport got to do with the Yorubas Abeg.

Wasn't the former president of 6years closer to you people than the Yorubas? Why didn't you cry to him then, instead you wait for the Yorubas to help you in lobbying the government. He couldn't even provide you guys with the second Niger bridge he promised.

It seems no tribe can actually achieve a meaningful feet in Nigeria without the Yorubas. Hausa man want to win election, he will summon the Yorubas. South South GEJ wanted to be the president, had to lobby soyinka and obj. Nnamdi kanu was in prison for almost two years, he needed the efforts and supports of FFK and FaYoSe before being released.

Now ordinary seaports, you guys can't achieve on your own without calling out the South West. I wonder how easy it gonna be for you guys to get the Biafra you dream of without the Yoruba support then.

This is how a typical Igbo man his...has zero tolerance for evil and marginalization even when done to his enemy.

So all your problems in the SE is caused by the yorubas? If only you know how little we bother about you guys. We just look at the central Govt and strike deals and negotiate with them. We were unable to negotiate favorably with the PDP presidency so we went against them in the last election, but you guys don't practise that kind of politics, you just throw insults and sit back and expect love.

Your leaders in Governorship, senate, reps and presidency are in the best position to change the situation but you people hardly question them.

You just cheer them on for showing disdain for the APC govt instead of negotiating with them and later wonder why things aren't working out.

Lagos has the ears of the Presidency now, the result of rooting for the APC in order to align with the center, not because Buhari a Fulani "Master" as you guys love to mock Yorubas ........you need to see how projects are being approved now and ongoing ones experiencing continuity.

You had your chance when PDP was in power but didn't seize it, you can now either align with the center or keep on voting PDP with the hope that they'll get back into power and right this wrong.

Re: Igbos Are Being Marginalized And This Is Evidence - Reno Omokri. by petsarena: 8:46am On May 26, 2017
Marginalization of SE affects the whole nation, you may say that suits them after all they didn't invest in Buhari just as Ngige said. The fact remains that when you concentrate amenities in certain towns people will troup to that city leading to population pressure with resultant effects like crime increase, unemployment. When SE gets some of these things people from all parts of the country will go there to work or do business easing the population stress in places like Lagos that has made it hypercompetitve with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.
