Sincere 9gerian: SEE-NO-GOOD and HEAR-NO-GOOD propagandist can say whatever they like. What did the southeast get from 8yrs of OBJ and 3yrs of Yar Adua (11 solid years in all)? The very few roads that we saw their construction began were uncompleted in 11yrs:
1) Enugu-Onitsha road started, uncompleted (after 11yrs),
2) Onitsha-Owerri road, uncompleted after 11yrs.
Can anyone remind us of any other project that was started or done in the southeast in those 11yrs of locust?
GEJ is less than 2yrs in office: Onitsha-Owerri road and Aba-Owerri have been completed.
Several other highways in the east are either being repaired or re-constructed. The Enugu and Owerri airport are being re-modelled. Workers at the Enugu airport may have gone on christmas break but nobody can deny that work has been going on there for sometime.
Arrangement has been made to build international terminal at 5 airports, including Enugu(after re-modelling work is completed).
Onitsha port was also completed and commissioned recently be Mr president.
Serious work is going on the eastern rail line.
Construction of 2nd niger bridge will commence next yr.
Unlike under OBJ and Yar Adua, incompetent PDP governors were not imposed on the southeast. Under GEJ, Peter Obi won election for 2nd term, defeating PDP and other parties(Ngige formula was not used). Rochas won in Imo state, defeating an incumbent PDP govt. The president did not step in to make it a do-or-die affair and impose Ohakim on Imo people, whether they liked it or not.
Anyway, when GEJ completes his first term come 2015, the HATERS can come so we can compare notes

ak47mann: THIS IS NOT ME HAHAHAHA ITS MY FRIEND HE SEND THOSE PIXS TO MY PH

babapupa: See crocodile tears. After all the election noise, abuse and 99% support for the dumbest president in the world, the chicken is now home to roost.

Lesson number 1, never put your eggs in one basket, look beyond your nose especially with your history of supporting losers and getting the end if the stick as usual.

Most importantly, only foolish people beg and wait for the most useless government to do things for them. Shebi you people are Jews, you are Japanese, you are Koreans, how come you are really not like them by doing for yourselves instead of always crying and begging?


Smh....

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^You're sounding daft, with all due respect!

Given the alternatives, i'd vote again for GEJ tomorrow in a heart beat; his shortcomings notwithstanding, Ndigbo have been treated much better and much more fairly by GEJ when compared with all other leaders this country has had since the late 60's; and that's saying something!

Are you just waking up?....the chicken you're talking of came home to roost since the end of the civil war.....for ALL Nigeria (minus the greedy thieving elite) and not just Ndigbo; or you wanna tell me Yorubas' have had it good in Nigeria until the coming of GEJ, and he's just come and put sand in una collective garri?

Could you explain a bit more on the "supporting losers" premise of yours?

So you want Ndigbo not to expect ANYTHING from the centre (a centre that takes the lion share of our collective wealth every year, and distributes it as it deems fit), but to depend solely on its states allocation, IGR and private initiative?; this would be ok for other ethnicities/regions i suppose as they'd be able to share amongst themselves that which would have been the due of the south east.....which we've rejected just to please Babapupa and show him how industrious we are; nice one .

One thing you forget is that the Jews, Japanese and Koreans are a free people.....free to chart and determine their own destiny, and not held down with.....and their fate linked to that of vile hateful bastards that hate their guts yet can't seem to imagine living without them; for instance, do you imagine the Jews would have made the giant strides they've made in technology and science if they were made to share a country with Palestinians and other Arab countries against their will.....a country where quota-system is enthroned over merit and where their fellow compatriots scheme behind the scenes to hold them back and torpedoe any chance they have of making progress in politics, business, education and other aspects of national life?

Dude get real!

PROUD-IGBO:
If you want to put an end to each region agitating and clamouring for a bit more from the centre, then the right thing to do would be to restructure the country in such a way that there's at least 80% resource control, and the centre is weakened considerably with less power over the regions/states......let everyone should answer im papa name; let states like Akwa Ibom for instance get the benefits of their God-given wealth, and states in the south east can enter into business partnerships with foreign firms/countries to sell their own oil and gas without waiting for approval from the centre; also states in the south east could build 'proper' and functional river ports for the easy evacuation and importation of goods, and team up with south south states to build an intergrated rail network and a deep-sea port at Ibaka; also, south east states would have the resources to build a world-class int'l airport in cities like Enugu, Owerri and Onitsha without having to wait for funds from the centre.

The possibilities for greatness are endless!

babapupa:
It's the same silly and re.tarded excuse. Who is holding you down? Are you people slaves in chains? Do you not have governors, ministers, reps, senators, senate and rep leaders and heads of government agencies? Are they all in chains and bondage too? You've had president, head of state, you've had vice president, you've occupied all leadership positions more than any other group in Nigeria so who held you down again?

You can not alter your history and realities with excuses . Your leaders collect allocations and taxes like other states in Nigeria, they have heads and thinking brain, they are just too lazy and visionless. They can come up with vision and ideas to move the region forward, they need to get beyond apathy, victim syndrome and mediocrity.

You had total control during the regional administration era so please tell me what your leaders did and accomplished.

BTW, you people need to stop the ignorant noise about igr because going by your budgets and lagos states budgets and population, your states are far richer per head. Lack of vision and ingenuity is what your leaders don't have and you the next generation don't have it either because you already have your own excuses....

babapupa: Dude, you are boring me with the same pointless excuses and rubbish. You people are full of excuses and victim mentality. Your leaders are weak, visionless and incompetent just like you the next generation making excuses before you even get there.

Talk about hopeless situation.

spyder880: Workers were still in the airport working on that day.

mens dept: Those pictures are nothing more than shameful. Since 2001 that OBJ began his "Approval" of the International Airport in Enugu, along with Kema CHikwe (who tried to smuggle herself into the senate last year and lost) who was the then Aviation Minister, to the current GEJ and his Igbotic Aviation Minister, the airport is just a joke.

Meanwhile we've had (stupid) governors from all the Eastern States who cared less about this project, along with Orji Kalu who is known to operate quack airlines in neighboring African countries paid for by funds belonging to the complacent Abia people.

The APGA governors nko, they dont care as well, and frankly, maybe FIFA or Obama will have to come and do the job since the current Easterners arent shyyyyt (despite what they think).

People wake up and follow in the footsteps of the Aba women of 1929 and common Imo people that built their own dayum airport. Again see the airport built by people who we thought were less promising: Czech Rep

ezeagu:

Czech Republic split 20 years ago from an oversize oppressive failed state with rivalling ethnic groups. Figures.

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^Care to tell us the weak, visionless and incompetent leaders in the south east you're refering to?

Cheers.

ngozievergreen:
Just go and sit down, u hear? D igbos complain because dey want d very best and not mediocrity. Never overestimate any grumbling dey do cos as u said dey are d japanese, koreans and d americans of d country.
Guy,bone o. An igbo man is more concerned with his personal achievements and dats why dey are making it in dis country (on an individual basis) , cos looking up to d govt is bullshit.
So wrap up your talk abt dem complaints. Dere is no happier tribe at d end of d day.........

Mediocrity is crying and begging everyday for what you can do on your own instead of the dirty crap they commissioned on your behalf..

ezeagu:

Like you do about Federal projects, especially roads and ironically MMA in Lagos, now move on.

ezeagu: No because I don't really follow what you do, but I do regularly see you going on a march of frustration all over threads talking about how Lagos would be Singapore if it weren't for the FGN and GEJ. If you deny that, then you have to watch yourself from now on.
