Igbo Economic Goals For The Eastern Region by SonOfEl(m): 9:26am On Feb 04, 2018
Igbo have made their mark economically in Lagos, Kano and most parts of the country. What about alaigbo specifically?

Late Michael Okpara, the premier of the former eastern region oversaw the rapid growth of the region then adjudged by international economic observers as Africa's fastest growing region economically.

Enugu and Owerri were the major Administrative centers while Aba, Onitsha and Portharcourt were the commercial centers. Today things have changed. Things fall apart.

But can the goals of our fathers still be realised? YES!

- Enugu city is still the first class administrative center we have. All we need to do is to involve in urban expansion. Enugu is "bae".

- Owerri, if worked on, can still be the crown beauty of the east if we sustain a high level of maintenance culture and urban renewal. It can also be a major holiday destination center.

- Aba is in dire need of infrastructure to catch up with the rest of the economic cities. These deficiency has led to some degree of environmental degradation. The human and financial resources are already there. Aba urban renewal can help sustain Uyo (an Ibibio town), whose economy is still largely oil dependent.

- Onitsha is relatively stable and sound, but its polluted air being the most affected as adjudged by international analysts calls for rapid environmental policies. If well attended to, its economy can expand to Asaba, an Igbo town and the capital of present day delta state.

- Port Harcourt is stable. But to survive as an economic center, it needs to diversify its economy from being too oil dependent. Oil is losing its value internationally.

Towns like:

- Nnewi, is quickly becoming an industrial center. Thanks to companies like Juhel, innoson, orange drugs, etc.The government needs to fix infrastructures befitting of a modern town there.

- Abiriba, also dubbed "small London" by the late zik can be upgraded into a major administrative center. Abiriba is a quiet beautiful residential town. It has the potential of being a holiday or exotic place of destination.

- Umuahia (a former biafran capital) can be a major agricultural center. It once was. With the presence of a University of Agriculture and Arable land, It can be the major center for industrial research in agriculture.

- Awka if well monitored and nurtured can rival Enugu as a major administrative center in the east. The infrastructures are currently rusty and outdated. But with a little effort, it can roar back to its rightful place as a major administrative center.

- Abakaliki can rival Umuahia as an agricultural center if well nurtured. It has arable land and enough workforce to man the fields.

What's your take?

Anambra and it's cities of Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi are doing perfectly well in all indices of infrastructure and development. Instead of you to focus more on your filthy, dilapidated and most backward Abia state but you are busy thinking about the East.

Thank you. You have been noticed.

Abia state is the worst state in the southern Nigeria, it should be your main focus and not trying to lump other states into your useless nonsense.


Even the mighty Lagos with trillion budget is like this pic below...why burn your soul with Aba that is not even a capital city...

Can't you see you are deeply paranoid and need help?

There are too many tribes,towns and settlements in Nigeria.Nigeria will never develop that way. Those towns and settlements all have to be demolished and used for agriculture. concentrate resources and build 4 world class mega cities ( mostly coastal cities and about 5 inland towns )and move everyone to the city . my opinion .

Just forget about your tribes . Africa will never develop with that method .

The best way to start is to return to the region first.

Imagine that the combined budget of the SE being around N700 billion for the year...and the states are scrapped with one capital city..All the monies spent in other states to manage their state assemblies, government houses, judiciaries, and other departments that can be merged will save as much as N150 billion to 200 billion...The money saved can go up to N2 trilliion in 10 years...Do you know what development infrastructure that would come to the region with that?

ABIA STATE is a dead state, there is no amount of propaganda and lying that can save you. Go home and push your people to develop your state. This video below tells the whole truth without bias.

I know you want to derail this thread. I really don't know your age or experience (not that I care though), but I know ndigbo will never move forward with people like you. If you hate abia state that much then quit talking about abia state. If it hurts you that other Igbo (in this your case, abians) are moving forward, then that's your problem. Quit derailing this thread. Take your "anambra complex" elsewhere.
