I apologize if it sounded harsh to you, perhaps I was just so disappointed to see your handle associated with all the disgusting and disgraceful afonja/ipod rants on nairaland. You've worked hard to forge a reputation with that moniker, why damage it so cheaply.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your kind gesture. However about the bolded, I don't think so. It's difficult to explain especially base on my reputation here... I hope when you read my past comments though atimes I go off hook but on rare occasion, you will know my stand.

Once again thanks brother

Not true.

States own Airports in this country
There are private airfields in this country.
The entire Senators, House of Reps, Ministers and Governors from the East, ND, SS can speak with ONE VOICE in Abuja demanding for approval for an Airport and a Sea Port.
With 100% funding from PPP.

The FG and these "SOMEBODY(IES)" cannot stop it.

Please stop believing hearsays. Name these people or the somebody.

Have all these billionaires come together and I will import my next shipment through your port in 2 years time.

Again, you are not getting my point. I agree with most of the things you said with respect to state government playing an active role but you are not getting my point of systematic marginalization of Igbos. This supersedes the points you raised. It's just like racism, where some whites would openely say...we hire all races but behind the scenes, that is...systematically, they may not hire Blacks.

Reno is just stupid. Was he not in governor just a little less than 2 years ago? What did his principal, the adopted igbo do to help?

Always trying to use ethnicity to bring down this government.

Some of what he has said is true but certainly HE is not fit to say especially as he and his principal had their chance.

Governor? Really

Freetech:
ok, which of the Igbos, Biafrans or Nigerian?

First thing first,u can't claim to be a stranger in Nigeria and expect to enjoy citizenship rights

The victim mentality of the Igbos and politics of hatred must be dealt with by the elites among them.

Stop applying poor strategy at political dispensation and making yourself available for ditty job like senseless Ipob agitation.

Nobody take Igbo serious in Nigeria bcs they are not united, put personal interest above tribal interest.

all you have just said is the evidence of your low intelligence

konfused:
So why the hate.

.

Cuz the first ever military coup was spear headed by IGBOS...

Aguiyi Ironsi was made commander in chief..


instead of that idiot to surround him self with his people or at least listen to his people.., he didn't..

Rather he from the snake Gowon and TY DanjuMa to his cabinet and they finally killed the idiot called Aguiyi Ironsi...

Azike Iwe was the president but he traveled abroad to give way for the coup...

Aguiyi Ironsi brought this on igbos...

We Igbos till date prefer Other tribes to our selves...

When I was out side Nigeria... the guy housing me sold my passport to people to carry drugs to Thailand...

and he was my Igbo brother..

guess who saved me.. and sheltered me before I know xup, was a Ghanaian..

Ayim Pius Secretary to fed govt...
Okonjo iweala..
Ike ekweranmadu..
first lady that has blood links in Imo state..
and they no fit fix Niger bridge
No airports..
no see ports..

Abeg make we hear word. When Jonathan was in power for 6 years he didn't think of doing anything tangible. No airport, no nothing. Rather he squandered all the money. You igbos were not complaining then o, it's now y'all wanna complain. Ka kul fun yin

GEJ is not Igbo,but he was working side by side with Reno who is. Reno failed to mention all these things until now. Ikan to fe je koje kan gbon. Ish. Instead of you guys to hold your leaders accountable and you people are now screaming tribalism up and down. Reno clearly likes all this divide and conquer stuff. It's working sha cuz the igbos in this forum are eating it up.

Funny beer parlour talk. You don't want us to be strangers yet you treat us as strangers. We don't just want to be strangers to you, we want to be alienated from you by letting us be.

bkool7:


Igbos can't be in all places

The custom controller general is a post of heirachy, until Buhari decided to appoint someone outside ...which is within his jurisdiction. I know Shagari too appointed someone from outside before .
The same reason is why no one from the West has ever been a Senate President in Nigeria. Does that make the West shout Marginalization ?

And it doesn't bother me because I see no direct impact from someone from my side holding a political office . The only ones that benefit are the friends , families and relations .

What you people call igbo marginalization is the way the political elite marginalize all citizens of nigeria.
You see it as igbo marginalization, but its general

Did you notice how convenient it is to say yoruba's have never been senate president ?

Very convenient right ? especially since they can and have been number 1 and 2 at different points in our shared history.


anyways let us not derail here; am talking about is Customs here and It is strictly by appointment.


How about you tell me why the easterners haven't been appointed Comptroller general of customs ? I mean every one can explain why yoruba's have not been senate president but who can tell us why no easterner have ever been appointed but from outside and inside the force.

Stop deceiving us you were aid to GEJ why you no tell him that, plus they is airport in enugu there is no much distance from enugu to tge place you have mentioned the north is very big you need more time to cover 2 states. Stop being a fool.

You politicians are friends of the devil because you were kicked out of government you want to bring it down. MONKEY MENTALITY CHAI EVEN MONKEY BETTER

Tribalism and hatred sometimes affect peoples reasoning.

How can A small town called Nnewi have more manufacturing than an Entire Geopolitical Zone that contain the duo states of of Kano and Kaduna plus others?

You'll be surprised what goes on there.

You're just naturally stupid.
Can't claim to be a stranger in Nigeria and expect to enjoy citizenship rights? Yet resources and revenue from igbo land is constantly being sent to the federal and being used to develop nigeria, and you're saying this bullshit

I thank God that righting thinking Nigerians are coming with the truth about the deplorable situation of Igbos in Nigeria. The truth shall prevail.
BIAFRA MUST BE FREE. Many do not know that before the inception of this struggle, it was handed over to the mighty Hands of Almighty God at Onitsha in 1999. The actualization of Sovereignty Biafra is sanctioned by Heaven.

Governor? Really

If you have any thinking capability, you will know it is government I meant not governor. No one is in governor and I talked about his principal.

raker300:
Apc and Amaechi are a shame..

Instead of contrstucting the rail lines to include these manufacturing hubs, they rather play politics of hate

The project spanning 1402 kms was previously awarded by the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan at $11.97 billion. But after a review, the contract sum dropped to $11.117 billion with some $800 million saved.

https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/business/fg-reviews-lagos-calabar-coast-rail-contract-saves-800m/153536.html

Sadly for you people, Jona your hero and the PDP you voted for and follow like as if na juju den place on you awarded he contract that left out all your towns and villages, but the same Amaechi you hate so much included Onisha.

Blame yourself for your errors and quit blaming other people.

Hate and bitterness and no go let you people see light.

I thank God that right thinking Nigerians are now coming up with the truth about the deplorable situation of Igbos in Nigeria. The Bible says that truth shall prevail. Many do not know that the struggle for the actualization of Biafra was handed over to the Hands of Almighty God in 1999 at Onitsha. Believe you me Heaven has given us Biafra

eltalentino:
2019 is upon us and we would keep blaming ourselves and go to the polls with no realistic alternatives to these pdp and apc breed of politicians who are one and the same. I will keep saying that until the younger generation, I mean the saner ones come together to participate squarely on national issues we won't go anywhere.

These politicians know how to manipulate us. OMOKRI didn't find it worthy to tell the then government to do all these. My take, let's stop fighting for these politicians.

They have schemed out the younger generation with the age restrictions. Until they remove age clause, it will difficult for younger people to hold political office.

I heard on the radio this morning that the deputy Senate president is pushing to remove the age restriction on political offices.

If Jigawa can build their own international airport, why can't the whoile of SE join money together and build theirs if Internationale airport is so important to them.


This omokiri clown and the same worthless and incompetent clown are doling nothing but enabling and making dumb excuses for the incompetent and vision less governors and leaders in the SE.

Other states are not sitting around begging and waiting for the FG to do everything for them, they are building their own airports so what's wrong with the supposedly smart, richest and the most industrious people in Nigeria building a common airport for their own use?

Was the PDP and GEJ not there for 16 years or marginalization only applies to a less than 3 year old government?


The same North this clown and the jokers in SE love to abuse and call names everyday are building their own airport with their own money so what's stopping you from building yours since you are better and smarter than the North?


The joke is on you.

Fact is, the SE has a dangerous dependency syndrom, they act as if their faith and future is always in the hands of the FG and they don't have to lift a finger to do anything on their own.

Roads, face and blame the FG

Bridge, face and blame the FG

Airport face and blame the FG

Lack of development and progress, face and blame the FG as if they don't collect taxes and allocations like even poorer states spending their own money to build whatever they need including airports.


This is why I laugh when they beat their empty chest because their is nothing there, it's empty and shallow and all they have is mouth.

Correcting someone and to ridicule someone are not the same.

Osus people are mad honestly they should know it will take another 100yrs for that red mud region to develop because of their hatred to towards others region. tell me now who want to esteblishe a company n think of going to that lock region.

who are the people that govern the ibo states, are they not ibos?

obc:
Oga all you wrote here is nonsense and you are part of wicked minded individuals whose activities lead to a one direction development of the contraption called Nigeria. Before you blame Igbos, do you know the amount earned by Lagos state from the Sea Ports, Air Ports and tax from all coporate offices located everywhere in Lagos which boosts lagos GDP higher than all the Eastern States put together? Do you know the number of workforce that pays tax in Lagos? In fact Lagos state is under-developed considering retinues of income enjoyed by the state. If you have access to LIRS you won't have the hand to type this thrash. Lagos can carry out any capital project without assistance from the FG because of its GDP. Put up a functional Sea Port and Airport in the South East and see what will be of Lagos in less two years. It cannot continue. There is an expiry date for every empire.

How old are you boy ? Your comment is too unintelligent n undeserving of a response. The entire SW is also battling to neutralize or tap from all the advantages accruing to Lagos. It is not an Igbo problem alone but you do not slit your nose to spite your face.

I never expected you to write any good thing about the Igbos...The Northerners that claim to be united and fight for their people are they north the less civilized region in Naija?
Northern leaders are the worst they have ruled more than 30 yrs and still ruling but Northern people still languishing in poverty you cant compre them with the Igbos.

Heheheh...He is pained. How old are you boy? Answer: Age doesn't matter when issues of national interests are discussed. Take it or leave it,
your glorified heaven (Lagos) is performing below ebb considering all the resources at her disposal. Omorkri just stated the obvious and you jumped to write bullshit to mislead the gullibles. Exclusion of all South Eastern States in the ongoing FG rail project is one out of many. You lack wisdom which is of greater value than intelligence. Keep defending evil. Afonja warrior!! i

You should stop this already?

Yes the federal government has its shortcomings, but how many of your governor's do you hold accountable? The proposed second airport at Lekki is and initiative of Fashola and Chinese investors.
Gombe built a beautiful airport on its own without federal cash. Same for Dutse, with an international standard airport.
When will you demand such from your governors?

Real2020:
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 think 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!

I've answered your question
Its not compulsory that igbo must be everywhere . Its the president perogative to appoint people . You can't mandate Buhari to appoint an Igbo man as CGC just because Igbos have not serve in that capacity before . Is it Buhari fault? why are Igbos just aware they never serve in that capacities before and its now they must ? What's so speacial in it ?
Do you know we have about 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria ?

Lets concentrate on govt performance rather than our son must be there

Igbos allow politicians to play dirty jokes with them all in personal interests. Every politician in the opposition (even those who are not from the south east) now look for cheap popularity by claiming to have the interests of the Igbos at heart and the Igbos themselves clap and cheer these people by adopting them as "sons and daughters.
My question is these strangers that now cry more than the bereaved, where were they all these years when Igbos were being marginalised or did the Igbo marginalisation just started in the Buhari administration? The likes of Fani Kayode, Omokri, Fayose and the likes are just mocking the Igbos in disguise. I've not forgotten when Fani Kayode demeaned Odumegwu Ojukwu's personality by telling the world of how he slept with his wife, Bianca.
Nobody actually cares for the Igbos, even Igbos themselves do not even care for themselves (else they won't believe that these people are really protecting their interests). All these men claiming to 'love' Igbos were directly or indirectly part of the Goodluck Jonathan administration. How did they better the lots of the Igbos? Now, they sing to high heavens, crying more than the bereaved as if they did not contribute to the injuries they Igbos suffer today. I pity those who patronise their stinking wares. For me, I don't care because I know that all these gibberish is just to serve as a lift to their next political ladder. Nigerian politicians are wicked folks.
