With the derivation from Agriculture proceed accrued to them pre-state era i.e during regional government.

Why Awolowo was busy developing the Western and mid-western region with University and free education and creating institutions for them. Our so called leaders (Eastern region) then was busy collecting tax and oppressing the minorities (Ijaws, Ikwerres Efik etc). They made sure the minorities suffer. When my Grand Dad, a fisherman then, sail all day and night only for him to be apprehended by this selfish leaders at the shores for unnecessary tax without providing any amenities.

Awolowo helped in establishing the University of Ibadan in 1948, it took Azikiwe and Co more than 15years after to established a University in the eastern region, even later than Ahmadu Bello University.
They seized all our lands in Port Harcourt, imposing heavy fines on our people.

They (Zik and cronies) only developed the Igbo region ala Enugu. Citing all FG structures there. PH and the rest were left to the mercies of God. Untill Gowon created Rivers State in 1967. Your Azikiwe made sure the minorities suffered for been part of you people.

Now you want us to join you to actualise Biafra, so you can resume where your fore fathers stopped. No way! No way!

Who built Presidential Hotel PH? Who constructed the Trans-Amadi Industrial layout? My memories are kinda vague.

Even my grandfather, a palmwine tapper/seller paid taxes and mehn suffering no be small thing. If only Enugu was developed, how come my father and his mates could not afford to pay their school fees? Why was it that most families in Igbo land usually had one educated person only during this period?

Kel4soft, you don dey make me vex seriously. I expect you to attack the corrupt mindset of our past leaders instead of the entire ndi Igbo.






BTW, I know this thread will hit FP.
