A member of the House of Representatives speaking on Channels Television said the entire five states in the South East are not as big as Oyo State yet they have five governors while Oyo has just one (Mr constituted authority). He said if Igbos are crying of being marginalized, Oyo too should be talking of marginalization.true is this claim?

Bede2u:
I disagree completely that buhari is misunderstood in se... but for the sake of education, tell me what and what he has done in/for the se in 2yrs 4months to show that igbos verdict about the man was all a big misunderstanding.

Also that the 1st coup was plotted by sotherners is irrelvant because we will never knw if their intentions were for the betterment of the country seeing that they never ruled. But we can say that juntas headed by northeners all failed to develop d country but only succeeded in giving the north undue advantage. That we are all sharing ss oil today ws because of aguiyi ironsi who believed that the oil was big enough to go round. Otherwise prior to him, the old eastern region only gave 50% of oil proceed to the center...pple still say igbos are selfish.

Let me educate the illiterate OP.

Singapore landmass = 719.1 km²
Borno State landmass = 70,898 km²

I'm sure you prefer the bomb blasts in Borno than living in Singapore whose GDP is 297 billion USD in 2016.

Everything about Nigeria is number number number! Big|! Large! Quantity! No focus on quality. That's why they have so many graduates yet one of the countries with lowest intelligence in the world.

Big for nothing country with big wasteful population and big wasteful landmass yet begging small unknown Jordan for alms/crumbs of weapons.

Here is Singapore. Here's how a country should be.

moninuola65:

but you are more ignorant than any one!
are you ever been to school!
if you represent igboland in a case as a lawyer and present this cardinal as an argument to counter claimed the existence of SS you had shoot yourself not on foot but head.
if this cardinal point is put on Nigeria geographical map it will wipe out igbo land from Nigeria map.
we go to school for knowledge not education.
prove me wrong and show me the South east of Nigeria with this cardinal point!
am waiting for you.

Bede2u:
dont be nonsensical. Igbos dont defend criminals anymore than yorubas do. Call out tinubu for stealing from lagos and i will call deziani for stealing from nigeria. Buhari once claimed that Abacha never stole. We are all part of the same hypocrisy so dnt quote me talking trash. Fashola is building website for 70million and i dont see u calling him out. All d big thiefs of pdp are now in apc and i dnt see u calling them out.
Babaa dont quote me again if ur iq is low

CaptainG00D:


U be mu.mu how will it wipe oit the entire igboland...
Oboy travel out u refused.

oladeebo:

I challenge you to prove me wrong not to insult me!
here is your cardinal point:

bakila:

I will qoute because I have a better IQ to know that Yorubas and Hausas did not demonstrate against the trial of George FFK, Igbos demonstrated against the trial of Dasuki, Saraki, FFK and others. A criminal case is activited on charge. You my friend is on a deficient IQ (not iq as you type) to discern, that once a charge is brought it differentiate a suspect from an accused, only a discharge will clear his name.

CaptainG00D:


Prove u what... the one i challenged u have u proved it..
Tell me what is south south..
Im waiting.

oladeebo:

daft
people should come and rescue me here!
Put your ignorant cardinal point on Nigeria map and show us where igbo land is indicated?

bakila:

Please tell from where to where is it 2 hours without a town.

Alariwo2:
Very true..

Some Northern states with just one governor are × 3 of the entire SE combined. Yet they don't cry for creation of states.

When people are greedy, yet contribute nothing to National purse but want the largesse over all other tribes.. That's what you get.

Max. they should have had in SE is 3 states or even 2 sef.

GoldNiagara:



You are the idiot, a look at the map of Nigeria can tell you the size of each region. You can do it right now, just use google.

deji17:


There are some work going on the Enugu Onitsha, Enugu Aba Portharcourt road repair. 2nd Niger bridge is still in the front burner. Unlike the previous Govt where lips service were paid to these things, this Govt actually means business. But for the paucity of funds and drop in oil price, progress might have been slow. But slow and steady wins the race. On appointments Igbos are still occupying important positions. That is why I write about miscommunication. Take for instance the recent NNPC appointment where 55 people were appointed or redeployed, the Igbo man who is the General Manager of NNPC Group Public affairs division released only 15 names, that contains no SE individual, thereby creating confusion. Who are the remaining 40 people? A look at the individual websites of the NNPC subsidiaries will reveal South East names as some of their Board of Directors members and Managers.

As time goes on, his achievements will manifest and that should clear all doubt. No amount of explanation will do. Time will tell

kn23h:



Maybe you should travel out of your brown roof in Enugu before talking nonsense.

Oyo - 10,986 mi²

Igboland: 16,000 mi²

Slightly.....

GavelSlam:


That's not the reason.

From Abakaliki to Onitsha is approximately 2 hours.

Is it because there are buildings?

ofeco:
@op there is a clear difference between landmass and population, there is no part of this country that you will not find Igbo people in hundreds if not in thousands but in the East you can count the number of other tribes, I believe that Southeast agitation for more states is based on their population, comparing Oyo, Kano etc. with southeast is completely illogical.
in Africa Algeria and Sudan have the highest landmass but the world hardly talk about them the way they talk about Nigerian issues, Russia and Canada are blessed with landmass but China, India and USA have the population.

junketer:
ok let me use taraba and adamawa states as example. Numan in adamawa is a small town between jalingo and yola. From jalingo to numan is approximately 2 to 3 hours. There is nothing but empty land between those two towns and numan only has 1 junction that makes it look like a town but when you get past that junction to yola its another 1hr 30 minutes to 2 hours drive through empty lands to yola.

olawalepopoola:

Bad road my dear not landmass

AfonjaConehead:


that the map of injustice..Cross Rivers is clearly a South Eastern state. Nigeria is such a nation of oppression. How can a clear south eastern region like Cross River not be an Eastern state?!

And these a4onja ppl are just confused n making noice themselves upandan shouting igbo igbo igbo...Whadda4K is ur problem with SE?
Do u ppl dream of SE every nite?

For the record, I'm itshekiri.

I have been to Abidjan and I insist it is not even comparable with Molete in Ibadan.

You even have the nerve to suggest Lagos.

Maybe you have only woken up in Makoko.

bakila:

You are right geographically, but Socio- culturally and politically they would rather die than be part of any Igbo set-up. You may read history to find out why some part of English-speaking Cameroun voted to be part of Cameroun, instead of Eastern- Nigeria.

GavelSlam:


The heck?

What brings the thought of SS going with SE in this discourse?

Are we related by culture?

What is the common bond?

Even now every group in the SS has poopooed and renounced the Biafra dream yet your opening suggests a possible collaboration.

Nna, take us time o!

Wetin bring that kind of rough play?

CaptainG00D:


Mu.mu..
Hahahahah show me south south...
And explain what it means.. i presented the challenge to u first... ubare trying to dodge it.
Hypocrite .

are you around?
ok
I said you are daft in reading cardinal point!
cardinal point pointing to a point yah, but in reality an area is bigger than a point make it impossible to fix an area in a point, it will be an estimate, as your cardinal point didn't have south south, the same cardinal point didn't locate igbo land in south east!
example:
when you are talking of South and North in a map, you've killed west and East!
if you are talking of West and East you've killed North and South!
if you are talking of North east and South East there is no East!
if you are talking of North west and South west there will be no West again!
the majority population of igbo land is never find in the South eastern Nigeria! with cardinal point indication!
are you get it right now!

You go school but you no learn anything.
