Lol I can bet most didn't read all this. Guys just download a text reader app. This article is pretty interesting. I recommend @voice aloud. I'll share some of the highlights the op should consider bolding. Today, it is difficult to travel from Enugu to Port Harcourt, following dearth of roads in the region. 5% only that's crazy. How much do they produce? Have talks with FAAN to correct that issue with flights. Invite him to next meeting. Umahi noted that there are assets in the zones that are presently redundant in the areas of roads, seaports and industrial expansion among others, explaining that the desire was to do something new and differently. Yeah if you want regional integration you need to have easy access to each other. In terms of economic integration, we need the ports in Port Harcourt and Onne. Our Imo River in Owerri crossed into the Atlantic Ocean at Opobo, and if we can dredge the river, we will boost business in the regions. We will no longer need to go to Lagos to clear our goods. There is a bigger market in Onitsha and Aba, and we will grow the eastern cluster. I always told people on this site a lot of eastern ports are shallow. The only deep on is Port Harcourt. Akwa Ibom needs to capitalize on it opportunity to serve region as well as its industrialization drive. These are most important factors. The river dredging could be done through regional cooperations or just pusing for it in NASS along with other states that want same for their rivers. Build bridges were possible in politics. |

POINT OF CORRECTION. They are not Trying to Recreate any Old Eastern region RATHER They want to form an Economic alliance between the Two Geopolitical zones. Thats All. Okowa did not attend because he was out of the country, his daughter put to bed. Next meeting at Portharcourt he will attend. Lets not misinterpret facts here pls. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Basic123: The Southwest is actually a politically savvy Hoe. I respect their game. No permanent allies. If their interested is understood and protected, they go in and deliver. Smart Game but the downside to this is that the Southwest has no loyalty. 7 Likes |

Dredging of the Imo River to Port Harcourt and Onne seaport leading to the Atlantic Ocean would be the among the most important project in the SouthEast and South-South region. The economic benefits would be huge. 9 Likes 1 Share |

He told The Guardian that the defunct Eastern Region voted together under the now rested National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), a political platform formed before independence, adding that the1963 incident, where the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe colluded with some Igbos to remove Eyo Ita from headship of the Eastern Region, sowed the seed of discord between the two regions. if Namdi Azikiwe could have done that imagine what Namdi Kanu would do. What has voting an Ijaw man got to do with how an Efik/Ibibio man was betrayed? 7 Likes |

MadCow1: Loyalty in politics and democracy? Well southeast can be loyal to whoever they like irrespective of performance. Election is not about loyalty but about assessment of government base on people's approvals:That is the philosophy of the sophisticateds! Osun west election is a perfect example of how yoruba play politics....NO EMOTION All other regions vote with emotions except NORTH CENTRAL! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

SouthWesterners are too advanced for this trash. IPOB is landlocked and as such has a very bleak future. They need SS for their economy far more than SS needs them. I'm sorry for SS people who support these greedy people because they will soon cry for emancipation. IPOB are very oppressive people , far worse than the Hausa/Fulani given a chance. Try it and time will tell. 7 Likes |

Nikbaebrown:Delta & Edo have recreated Mid-West/Bendel stuff before in a similar meeting. Remember that was the only Region created democratically in 1963 referendum. The only genuine region not carved by colonial masters or military dictators. And Anioma was always part of it. Until Anioma is carved out as a state, it will remain so. Midwest Region should be it. Otherwise it would be short changing from a historical perspective. Cooperation with SS/SE is crucial though. But the political goal has to be clear. 3 Likes |
