Tribal bigots will not see anything wrong with this just as they don't see anything wrong in forcing other regions with guns and bullets to answer "One Nigeria"

Jonathan administration was filled to capacity with Igbos and Igbo was an aviation minister...

Don't make it sound as if your region was forced into the position it's today

You have international airport in Enugu young man

i would choose nnamdi kanu to buhari

jonathan was the first president from the south south yet you people did not allow him the north used boko haram to force him out of govt ,we all know what tranpired so stop bringing up jonathan after all you people that do soak dogs and baboons in blood didnt allow him.
the born to rule north should allow southerners to rule for 20 or 30 years just as they have ruled and lets see if the south will not develop.

Mickop:
This government has failed Nigerians.
I just cant wait for this nightmare to be over come 2019

So u think votes couns in Nigeria.... Mko abiola should thought u what u vote is not what u get....in short am tired of explaining this to people

ericsmith:



when it comes to development of the east ,,easterners channel there hope nd wait on FG,, but talk of any develop region in the west,,they (igbos) will cum n boast how they develop lagos frm nuttin to sumtin.
dear igbo fellow citizen make una develop the east just as una single handedly develop some part of south west..

Guy, the ibos re not in lagos because they enjoy ewedu soup or they love big waist yoruba women. Its the business climate that that brought them here. Let the fg open up onne seaport or dredge river niger and see if they won't relocate. Why import and traansport from lag to s/east - s/south when you can dispose the material in lagos markets. Its business acumen that has kept ibos in s/west

Where's MBAKA

you claim to be igbo but i doubt that so much,the north have ruled nigeria for so many years,just imagine if all the northern past presidents with hatred for the igbos have been give world bodies such as imf,world bank,usaid and other numerous groups not to focus on the east do you still doubt why the east have been negleted? some of you come here to claim i too know meanwhile you know nattin,lagos is booming because the environment there is conducive which was made possible by the govt. you need to check your origin well and ask your parent if you are truly igbo.

Why should the north allow such for the south?
Are southerners united in the same way that the north is for political action?
Are Igbos and Yorubas not constantly abusing themselves even here among youths who are supposed to be educated?
Who gives unserious people anything?
Which foolish person will do that?
At least you should know that the northerners are not foolish otherwise they will not be holding power over all of us since forever.

.

THAT SHOULD TELL U GUYS THATS NOT BUHARI AM NIT SAYING BUHARI CAN'T MAKE THESE MOVES IF HE'S ALIVE BUT HE WOULDN'T MAKE IT PUBLIC.....THE FULANIS ARE CARRYING OUT WHAT USMAN DAN FODIO THOUGHT THEM.....THE FULANI ARE MAKING MOVES NOW.....NOTHING IS BEEN DONE AGAINST IT.....THEY WILL SOON LUNCH THEIR FULL FORCE..... NAIRALAND WILL SHUT DOWN COX THEY WILL SHUT DOWN INTERNET AND U WON'T HAVE SPLACE TO ARGUE AWAY UR TIME INSTEAD OF DOING THE RIGHT THING....

softwerk:
Oga but why always you?!

not all men have balls

the country is divided, if a President can make such statement,
we all kmw the north is relatively poor, but never the less

Gullible ffk and mumu Nigerian youths are already masturbating on an unfounded story.. they will surely look foolish as usual when Kim comes out to clarify the rumour..even if Buhari had actually asked world bank to focus only on northern nigeria, Kim would not have come out to say such a thing considering how fragile nigeria unity is at the moment. I don't know why naija youths cannot read inbtw lines.

where are the buhari supporters? let dem come and read dis news oooo

i said it before that buhari is the president of the north not Nigeria unlike Jonathan that was doing everything in the north and forgetting he came from the state

Hunger don catch FFK again. He needs to dance for his supper o.
Buhari, are you dier??

If I could remember when I was growing up, other nationals from Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana do come to Ariaria international Market and aba shopping center to buy commodities such as foot wears and clothing materials and other products. Today, everything has crumbed.

aka afonja muslim.

How does this change the stamped fact that the northern part of Nigeria must remain the poorest region till thy kingdom comes?

Did Buhari actually say this?

d problem of southern Nigeria is the southwest.

TheFreeOne:


Any southerner who still support the bigot in his maladministration needs to have a brain check cos Buhari will never change.

He's a northern president with northern agenda only.

You talk true...

Shocking.... Can't support this guy... Never, his administration is getting worse.....

SLIDEwaxie:
why must he debunk it? KIM clearly said the motive was to make food more abundance and cheaper since the North clearly faces more of agriculture.

Your zombiesm is incurable.

I kwn currently that the World Bank is under taking Transforming Irrigation project in about 7 state of the north making use of various major large Dams in the areas. This project is worth billions of Dollars. The reason the project is not done in the south is because the governor's refuse them lands in the required areas claiming they want to collect their lands. So u see

Obasanjo focused on the entire country during his 8yr tenure. Jonathan focused on northern Nigeria and he also supervized financial embezzlement with friends.

the whole tribes were evenly represented

Not holding fort for the President but he may have said that because of the situation in the Northeast.

The link below is to all current and past World bank projects in Nigeria. A simple examination will show that all of the projects in Northern Nigeria from 2015 to date are all aimed at the "Northeast" as a way of ameliorating the impact of the Boko haram scourge in that zone (apart from the Kaduna one that is a KDSG initiative).

I am sure the FG and the World bank president will soon issue another statement clarifying his statement seeing the furore it has generated.
