Wonderful event. I however think Nigeria will be better off having Federal and States of which STATES will represent the fusion of current states into bigger regions to form mega states e.g. Alaigbo state comprising all igbo people and willing kinsmen, so also will be Oduduwa, Arewa, Izon etc into like 14 states seven in the north and seven in the south and the FCT. Each of these states will have autonomy, be it internal security, economic and resource management, tax and business laws, have their own constitutions , courts up to supreme courts. States will be responsible to all their citizens and residents, education, minerals and all infrastructural developments. Means of national income for Nigeria will be through various taxes from VAT, the same across Nigeria at 5% shared 50-50 with states based on income generated from each state, mineral exploration taxes etc will follow the same trend. There will be no need for agitations under this system as every ethnic group within a state can form a local district, kingdom, principality, region , emirate, or whatever they want to be known e.g. The Urhobo in say a Bendel state will be an autonomous region in the state so also Etsako, Ishan, Bini, Isoko etc Such political structure across ethnic, tribal and religious lines will give various groups their own cocoons within the larger Federal Nigeria. Local taxes will differ, although the same education system but approaches, systems and funding will differ e.g. Yoruba may become a compulsory subject/ courses across Oduduwa. This I believe will not only answer the Biafran/Alaigbo question but also preserve the rights of minorities and usher in serious developments |

[quote author=LoveMachine post=48805841]http://guardian.ng/news/igbo-move-to-boost-southeast-economy/ Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu A move is underway by leaders of the southeast geopolitical zone to forge economic integration and reposition the region for development.The initiative will have five governors and an array of prominent Igbo leaders from religious, economic, educational and political platforms rubbing minds together to tackle decrepit infrastructure and leadership void in the region. Under the aegis of South East Leadership and Development Initiative (SELDI), the move stems from “a near state of hopeless that has befallen the southeast since the end of the Civil War and in particular, since 1999, when the present democratic experience took off.” The leaders, it was learnt, reviewed the state of the zone in the past 17 years and concluded: “The present democratic dispensation has not helped the area.”Besides governors of the region, the initiative is also being driven by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu; former Commonwealth Secretary General, Emeka Anayoku; former Ministers Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Prof. Charles Soludo, and Prof. Barth Nnaji. Other include Dr Idika Kalu Idika, Mr. Tony Elumelu, Prof. Pat Utomi, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Prof. Pita Ejiofor, Prof. Elo Amucheazi, Rear Admiral Ebitu Ukiwe (rtd), Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), former Governor Peter Obi, Dr Orji Kalu, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Prof. Philip Emeagwali, and author, Chimamanda Adichie. A source told The Guardian: “The assumption that the Federal Government should play a leading role in reactivating the moribund infrastructure that stares the zone in the face is the greatest undoing of the region.” If you look at it, critically, you will know that over 80 per cent of our active youths have remained without jobs, thus wasting their productive age. If we have the quantum of investments that have remained moribund working, we won’t have the level of unemployment existing in the southeast.” A document obtained exclusively by The Guardi fostering the development of Nigeria, especially the southeast region, focusing on leadership development in order to change the fortunes of the people, and giving hope to present and future generations. SELDI is the response to the developmental gaps and challenges that confronted the southeast after theGood move |

i can see the excitements that follow this development as if we have gotten our Biafra Independence, this shows that Igbos are really tired of nigera state as it were.the enjoy of any an average Igbo man is to be freed from the enclavement we find ourselves in ngieria.govts over the world gulvanise their investors to grow strong in their territories but in nigeria Igbos investing in other regions are hated,maligned and denigrated while our federal govt keep wasting our money gallivanting across the globe in the name of wooing foreign investors,OBJ did that alot and this cluessless Bubu is still on it right now. then i ask myself who is an investor? must an investor come from outside nigeria to be appreciated? while are they wasting our money seek foreign investors while the local investors of Igbo extraction are not appreciated and efforts are made to pull them down? so when i came across this Igbo global economy development initiative i was very happy.really i just wish that it becomes a huge success.i pray that participants would go beyond personal grudges and party affiliations.let us for once be sincere to commit to developments that can uplift and transform our region and our people. honest i am tired of hausa/fulani barbarism and yoruba tantrums and jealousy. this had made me and all my friends not set up any investments not even a structure outside Igboland. please the participants must to see this move as the last hope for us all to develop our region without hoping on nigeria govt. let us in embark on PPP schemes for all infrastructures in SE such as sea port,railway,power generation. we are ready to pay for cost as tolls. yes we can do it.Anambra state has started it and Anambra people are coming home to invest heavily but we need enabling infrastructures like i mentioned above. we have people we just need direction. enough of this shit.Igbo kwenu! 2 Likes |

This is a good move with the category of people whose names are on the list, especially Prof. Phillip Emeagwali. He is an inspiration to many serious-minded students from the region, myself inclusive. I think it is a good thing if he should get involved and bring his wealth of knowledge home than wasting in America. We need him here and now. |
