[size=14pt]Kagame, others for South-South economic summit in Nigeria[/size]
PANA

President Paul Kagame of Rwanda is among the guests who are expected to attend the 2nd South-South Economic Summit in Asaba, Delta State in Nigeria's oil region 26-28 April.

Also expected to attend the summit, to be declared open by host President Goodluck Jonathan, are former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, ex-first Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) John Lipsky and the 17th Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen.


The private Guardian newspaper reported Wednesday that the summit, which has the theme ''investment, development, security'', was aimed at underscoring the fact that the South-South is developing and is ready for investment.

The organizers said President Kagame would bring the perspective of a freedom fighter and that of a leader who rebuilt his country from the ruins of genocide, against monumental odds.

“Under his leadership, Rwanda has been called Africa’s ‘biggest success story’ and Kagame has become a public advocate of new models for foreign aid designed to help recipients become self-reliant.

''He is billed to give a development keynote address on ‘Post-conflict Development Policies’,'' said summit spokesman Chike Ogeah.

The summit is being organized by the BRACED Commission, an acronym for Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, and Delta states (the states in the oil-producing South-South region).

The first edition of the summit was held in Calabar, Cross River state, in 2009.

This is what is meant by "economic integration" and this is the quality of aspiration for the various regions to strive to. It is cross party, multhi-ethnic and dynamic.
The SS is really raising the bar. cool

Why did you guys invite neo-cons like Rudy Guliani and US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen?? And P. Kagame the Cia stooge in Rwanda?

It seems SS is going to be the new Biafra - and please don't come back crying genocide to us in 40years time. Bunch of crazy people, keep planning for your Republic of Niger/Delta which will never see the light of the day. undecided

for once i will agree with you even though you are an unrepentant apologist!
zonal economic intergration should be top of the agenda on the table of states in nigeria and it shouldn't be just talk but action as well.

How stupid can you be. this is not an economic summit but political summit.

Why, because south south economic zone is not a worth concept

You see, there is what we call mutually exclusive events and independent events. And this state are not mutually exclusive events to each other.

The western Niger concept is a worth concept, it is not possible to have an economic zone in the west that does not include kwara or kogi or delta state. anyone who tell you that is dull person.
Every economical concept for the west have to terminal in kwara state and delta state for the west, and lagos and kogi state in the other direction.


There are concept that is economical possible and some that are not economically possible. Waste of public funds.


It is a show of hate for the igbo people . This is what is wrong. and I am a person that does not support hate. Event happen during the civil war and it is wrong anyone hold it against another.

It is more of fighting a land war between them

but here is a prove, the igbo own the place call port harcourt. and even British document show it.

It is about time if u ask me. Oil will not be lucrative once renewable energy gathers momentum. GEJ needs to make haste and every year of his presidency count, so he will remain an asset and an example of Presidency.

We want action and momentum on our development not more talk. Port-Harcourt is a mess for a regional capital.Tourism in Akwa Ibom and Cross River need to be well thought out and ambitious. Delta State and Bayelsa needs specialized industries. Edo needs to develop as a center for arts, craft and culture. So much to do very little time.

Nigeria should develop jooor, so we can feel safe wen we come home.

the issue is if he does not want to go with the east, they can be in the west. but they must know there is a river inbetween.

The eastern part of the south-south should be cooperating with the south-east while the western south-south should look westwards. It's 1diotic that there's something called south-south economic summit even when this people have nothing in between then except for oil.

You might think divisively, but we are pressing ahead, so its best to live with it. The SS as a whole is in alliance with the SE and it will not be splintered.
As is obvious from the calibre of attendee's, the aspirations of the SS are very high indeed and a beacon for every region to aspire to.

I wonder what in your mind constitutes reason for ethnic groups to look beyond primitive boundaries and unite for their common good? We have both PDP and ACN states involved; there are Annang, Edo, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Ijaw, Isoko, Itsekiri, Urhobo etc etc. That, my friend is the true definition of unity; it is something the nation lacks to its developmental detriment. The SS has unity, so it will grow.

Tinapa failing has nothing to do with the project itself but the planning. It is like a child running before it learns how to crawl. Absolutely nothing ambitious about tinapa. Very poor planning. There are key sectors that needs to be developed before u talk about establishing any kind of resort.

Cross River and Akwa ibom need to decide exactly wat type of tourism they aim to become and to attract. Infrastructure/infrastructure cannot be overemphasized.

I am even beginning to think that it is not oil, after all Cross river is not an oil producing state. So, it has to be something else. Well, whatever it is will not survive without Igbo support. cool

The only thing SS has in common is the political bs called SS. Bunch of lazy people inviting neo-cons to their bs propaganda, we're watching all your moves. There is no SS or ND - half of that political creation is Yorubaland, period.

Mutual respect and strong alliances are key.

Beaf, but seriously, how do you explain the fact that there is no SE/SS economic forum (never mind political forum)? Isn't it self evident that any economic development talks in SS should involve SE because of territorial intertwine(of tribes)?
I have thought about it and all I get is that something is amiss somewhere. I don't know who to blame because I don't have insider information. All I know is that current SS has a huge chunk of Igboland. So whatever happens there must be supported by the Igbo in SE. I don't see it any other way, because I know that Igbo has no ill intents on the rest of SS groups. So, it is no longer safe to assume that things are happening, when nothing may be happening, and I know the end of it would not be good for either zones.

So, why did you guys invite Rudy Guiliani and Mullen?

Do these people even have money to invest? The only thing these neo-cons can help with are weapons of mass destruction. You and I know this bs is not about integration and investment - but the militarisation of the SS. It's just like inviting John McCain and David Petraeus to a Biafra investment summit or the SW inviting Stanley McChrystal and Hilary Clinton to an Economic summit.

Listen, GEJ is going to cause the downfall of the SS - we can see through him - from the Tompolo contract and then this. We're watching! lipsrsealed

Cross River does not produce oil, dummy.
If it was about oil, would be just Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Delta. Relative to these states, others produce negligibly. It is about deeper things like Onlytruth mentioned.

It's not about influence, it's about getting a strategic BUFFER ZONE in the so-called SS - in case Nigeria disintegrates - we don't care about their oil.

states: Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers.

The SE held their own economic summit in September last year, but they did not invite the SS.
These things are mere regional groupings, I wouldn't read anything into it.

BRACE has been going on since 2009 it isn't something new. Such cooperation as you are thinking would ideally be between the organisers of the two groups. Indeed, there are too many developmental and cultural overlaps between SE/SS for there not to be future cooperation.
