tit:


why are you making noise?
are you the only one who governor is squandering his money?
please, cool temper.
my state, nassarawa is the same.
our governor has eat all the money alone but want to pay 50% salary.
if you ask him about scholarship, he will use fulani herdsmen on your head.
so my sister, do not give yourself a bad name.

I'm pained because I'm affected. And the cry of the poor is equally my cry. This is not party issue, I voted PDP though I wished it would have been Paul Okorie.

Hon victor don't have a car you said? Let me put my facts right I will come to that.

Now let's assume its true, what's wrong with innoson cars? After all they're less expensive.

After going through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3213384/umahi-presents-2016-prado-suvs where the governor of my state donated 2016 Prado suv which cost 15 million Naira each I wept bitterly because I know the poor condition of my state. I am from ebonyi state and am not a shame to tell people my state of origin. I am writing this article with tears in my eyes because even our South East brothers consider or see ebonyians as fools because of ebonyians don't go to school. People like me who are willing to go to school can't because no money but the governor prefer giving out 2016 suv to house members that already have many cars. Please my governor, what happens if you use that money which you used to acquire 2016 prado suvs for scholarship? I went to Lagos of a recent to pay my uncle a visit, believe me I discovered that 95% of the people hawking on the street are ebonyians. Why can't you Mr governor use this medium that street hawking has been banned in Lagos to call those ebonyians back home and relocate them to the newly built international markets which is now a den of criminal activities in the state please?

It is a slap in our face that we ebonyians can't access loan to even farm which we are good at my governor. I still won't forget a day an ebonyi guy met me and discovered that am from ebonyi in Lagos, he asked me to follow him and start doing Street hawking that I will make it. I told him, I can't because am here for a visit and even if I want to follow him my uncle won't let me hawk even though I need money seriously for my school which am still struggling to enter because no money. What's the fate of that guy now that street hawking has been banned in Lagos? Why can't you from that money and give loans to farmers in ebonyi, give scholarship to those willing to further their education, call those ebonyians hawking in different streets of every Nigeria state home and give them that international market to make use and pay a little money to the state government? I am not a politician and I will never put my hand into politic. I am in my 20s but I weep bitterly for this state because there are many talents wasting in this great state. I am writing this article to you my able Governor, Enginer David nweze umahi like a son to a father because am just 20 years old. Ebonyians in diaspora hawking, let's come back home and make a ebonyi a great state. Nothing good comes easy but I believe we will get there one day.

wisdomkosi I feel your pain as I'm currently serving in izzi LGA. if I tell you that there is no single ATM machine in this LGA most people won't believe. but this state is having a #200bn potential income from agriculture. as most locales are proud farmer. only that the government is not doing its part to make it marketable.

Have u heard dat One of our HOA members was publicly disgraced by d CP citing reasons dat She didnt know because the police does not know their cars? Do you know dat some of our HOA members use their Friends and relatives' cars? Do u know dat these HOA members have not recieved any official car which is dia constitutional right as contained in d laws of d State? Do u know dat those cars were included in d 2016 budget which he is executing as well as other developmental projects? Do u know dat he has not bought any car for his cabinet members(commissioners and Special advisers)? U say Ebonyi people make up 75 percent of those hawking in Lagos, have u heard all d announcements dat Ebonyians should come back home? Should he go and arrest or bundle dem back to d state abi those wey dey d town dey hustle na mumu? U talk about poorest state, do u know how much IGR Ebonyi state Generates in a month? If u want to talk Sh*t about ur So called state Ebonyi, visit am 1st..... Peace.. Unu jokwa

Dgaffer:
At op, you're right to some extent. I'm from Akaeze in Ivo LGA of Ebonyi state, i did my Degree program in Ebonyi state Uni but I'm here in Lagos state for my National Service....i must say that the state govt is trying in infrastructural development which is necessary but what abt human development which is essential as most of our Eboyians are hustling in the streets of Lagos and Onitsha with no place to lay head on..
The Govt should reduce the school/tutution fees in their state Unii so as to encourage the indigens to opt out from their minal jobs on Highways. Just as Senator Dr Sam Egwy did duribg his era as Governor..

I believe and know that Ebonyi will be better soonest considering the fast growth it has received so far within it's creation year

Seun, lalastical, please don't let this thread die. I want the governor to hear the cry of the masses please not only that of the house members

CyerSeries:
what are you talking about? I'm from Ebonyi state and since I heard the news yesterday, I was so shocked that I don't even know what to say.. Why is the ediot wasting our money buying expensive SUV for legislators that does virtually nothing? Why didn't he buy one of these Toyota sedan cars that is cheaper? What happened to Inosson? With 5m each, innoson can make a very nice official car for them.. I support the OP, the governor goofed on this one.. So all the tax the masses are paying through their is just for them to live a luxury life? We will mobilize and send a strong message to them starting from the legislators.. Anyone seen driving that SUV should be dealt by the masses.. Nonsense

in case u havent noticed, Maria sings Praises about our Governor(DNU) as she calls him.. She equally accepted her own official car with open arms and smiles... Follow her on Fb (her page is NWANYI AFIKPO)to get 1st hand info abt Ebonyi not depending on poor bred information like dis thread.. About d light issue, is he EEDC? Abi u no hear say na private Establishment? I have no problem wit protest and demonstration of disgruntlements but channel it to d ryt quaters.. Dont blame d Government at any level for everything dat Goes wrong in our society.. Jokwa nee

nwakibe:

Jokwa o nna! Ehugbo omakaejali. So you are from Ehugb. But the Governor could have gon for a lesser car.

Rochas Okorocha forfeited his security votes and equally allocates substantial amount of Imo States monthly federal allocation but many Igbos have been attacking him for that. They claim free education is not important. Sometimes I wish I was Rochas Okorocha. I would have gladly stopped free education and chop my security votes like other Governors as well as increase my IGR by charging school fees.

Wisdomkosi:
I totally agree with you that ebonyi is the poorest state in Nigeria

Mercysam23:




Again its not about maria siding with the governor, its about recognizing her office and role in Afikpo. We are meeting her as a fellow woman, we are starting the fight from her doorpost.

No, he is not eedc now that he is governor, but he was during campaign. And is still not for carryout power projects for Ai and Ohaozara zone. Jokwa nna.

bejeiodus:
This is the best advice. Mobilize disenchanted youths like you and "occupy Ebonyi". Whining on Nairaland won't have as much effect as a mass demonstration against such improvident act.

Vendoor:
Its not Just about Ebonyi state....


The entire citizens of Nigeria are frustrated and feed up of these stomach infrastructure leaders that parade themselves like bags of backward premitive old fools; whose only ambition is to squander and loot any available funds and impoverish even the unborn generations.

My dear that of Ebonyi should be a case study...we are the ebonyians so we wont relent untill some thing is done....
So sad

You guys are just good in discouragement. This guy is just 20 and he did what he can with his capacity but all you will do is to run him down by your mobilizing advise. Haven't you noticed injustice in your own state of origin or in Nigeria generally? How many times have you mobilized. Is it that easy? A boy that can't even afford transportation fee back home is going to mobilize who? If you don't have anything to say keep quiet. Must you comment on every topic. Let the guy keek writing until he develop a capacity to mobilize joor
