$30bn Loan: Igbo Demand Inclusion Of 2nd Niger Bridge Project, Others by phemmyutd(m): 3:23pm On Nov 07, 2016
South East indigenes have called for inclusion of the Second Niger Bridge, Enugu Coal-Power, Maiduguri-Port Harcourt Railway, as well as the Adani-Anambra Rice projects in the list of projects lined up in President Muhammadu Buhari’s external borrowing plans.
The indigenes, who spoke at the weekend, through the Publicity Secretary of Enugu State chapter of the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO), Chief Eze Chibueze, commended the president for “his laudable and patriotic programme of infrastructure upgrade” and appealed that the listed projects be included in ‘Buhari Infrastructure Renewal.’
“We are making this plea for inclusion of Enugu Coal to Power, the Second Niger Bridge, Maiduguri-Port Harcourt Railway and Adani-Anambra Rice projects in the Buhari Infrastructure Renewal segment of the Federal Government External Borrowing Plan 2016, 2017 and 2018.
“This is because of our understanding that the creditors predicated their transaction on the Integrity Quotient of Mr. President.
“We are making this plea because most Nigerians are as well receptive of the loan because of the integrity quotient of Mr. President; knowing full well that the loan will be prudently managed. We also believe that president Buhari may not borrow again, in the next eight years.
“We reaffirm our support for the loan because of the truism that Mr. President is handicapped by the culture of impunity, the collapse of oil prices and the unprecedented looting which took place, hence, the general infrastructure deficit.
“We are gratified that majority of Nigerians have come to the conclusion that without Buhari’s Infrastructure Renewal, we will remain trapped in gross unemployment, abject poverty and weak infrastructure.
“Consequently, we appeal to the National Assembly and, indeed, all Nigerians, to support Buhari’s Infrastructure Renewal, the only patriotic and viable means to renew our critical social and physical infrastructure.”

A whole single $30billion loan unprecedented in Nigerian history is to be used and no single project for the SE. Not even the niger bridge project that is critical for mass movement of goods and services and has been a crucial infrastructure to the southern economy and Nigeria's.
Is that not madness? And some people expect sane human beings to support such an administration.

I can't believe these folks are actually begging the burukutu-sipping, gworo-munching dullard.

PMB really dealt with these maladaptive ones by pressing the exclusion and ignore button.

With the praises their brain dead offsprings sing about Jonathan on nairaland you would think the second Niger bridge would be constructed and delivered by the ineffectual buffoon undecided

Alas, 'Jonathan only gave Igbos identity', exactly as I heard from Peter Obi cheesy

It is really mind bloggling for nigeria central government to borrow $30billion without a single progect in eastern central(SE) nigeria,which make up 80% of the igbo land. We igbos from rivers and delta join our brothers from SE to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH. I am a proud rivers youth for senator olaka nwogu #RIVERS-southeast senatorial zone #PDP

The general antagonistic posture and negative vibes of South Easterners to PMB should be reviewed for any meaningful conversation to take place between them and the APC government.

Like the president rightly asked, why was there so much opposition to him and his party if GEJ has disappointed them so much that the whole infrastructure assets of the FG in SE is so much in decay?
They were not even willing to give him a chance in that part of the country

I agree that the buhari government need to set a plan for the completion of the 2nd Niger bridge.

From the last update I had I was of the opinion that the initial contract was being revisited.

Y'all had better march to Otuoke to demand for your second Niger bridge after all he spent 6 years in government.

And these same people will come here and be defending those people who stole the money meant to build them the said bridge.

Really?
So the politics of APC is for a PRESIDENT to develop only regions that voted for them?.And you expect poeple to have faith in your backward govt and whatever nonsense he has to sell.
Is that normal at all to you regardless of how bad afonjaism has degraded your brain?
Is it in the Nigerian constitution to practice a single party state? Is the opposition of the south east to buhari as vitrolic as republican states to obama the most powerful man in the world.?

Politics of vengefulness is not politics. Politics of shameless compromise is not politics.
I know afonjas like you believe spreading your as$ cheeks to the president is politics but that is an error.
Are you going to call republican states political novices because they don't support any democratic party president especially obama who is light years more functional and diplomatic than buhari.
You and your ilks don't know politics. That is why your country is a third world hell-hole.
When a president can be blatantly vengeful because a section of his citizenry don't like him, then that country is a banana republic. And with shortsighted afonjas like you in the millions egging him on, your country is a lost cause. Forget any meaningful devt. It is a mirage.
And the fact is buhari will leave at the most 2023, but the seeds of vengeful politics would have been set, and igbos may be the ones on the favourable end again, and nobody would give a damn and rightly so.[/b]

If you are not making conversations with him on the way forward in infrastructural development, but rather encouraging those blowing pipelines and platforms just because you simply want to make his government ungovernable, and yet still expect him to know what your needs are, then you are worse than an ostrich

Please will you kindly STFU.

The statement was made by Orji Uzor Kalu, a prominent politician and an Igbo man, I don't see any reason to tear yourself into pieces and scream or blame Yorubas for the apt description of your tribe by your fellow tribesman.

When it comes to spreading asses to the North, you folks take the candy, Azikwe was named by his northern lord as a beautiful bride doing the bidding of the highest bidder.

The country is already a lost cause thanks to the greedy and emotional crybabies your tribesmen are, you are quick to blame Yorubas when economic policies aren't favorable but he's your president when its time to allocate projects.

Bullcrap!

Orji uzor kau is a criminal and a thief. He is no diffeent to igboland than any average deluded afonja.
You are not smart at all for that nonsense in bold.
Igbos are the least responsible for whatever irreversible backward state your country is. The last time we had an igbo head of state, you were not born then.
Complaining does not destroy a country, bad governance do. You afonjas and your northern masters have destroyed your own country.
And yes, buhari is not our elected president. That is a fact. Dosen't mean he shouldn't follow constitution and precedence for national stability afterall he is supposed to be your messiah.

I dont get why some folks who claim to be sophisticated always bring up the argument "why didnt you vote for Buhari". Every Nigerian has a right to choose and should not be blackmailed by threats of marginalization for not voting your preferred candidate. We are backward as a nation because we tend to play bitter politics, I cant imagine if Obama did the same by treating those that didnt vote for him badly.

Where on national television or newspaper or in the national assembly have you seen any igbo man support militants blowing pipelines?
What meaningful discussions did the south west hold with him before including them in his loan?
Is he even supposed to be lobbied or told about the rot in the SE and the need for federal government attention.
Is the president supposed to be told that the niger bridge is a matter of national eceonomic emergency?
Is the president who has been lauded like winston churchill supposed to be told that manufacturing in the east need urgent federal government attention in funding and infrastructure for Nigeria's overall economic development and attainable industrial independence?

You are the unserious one here. NL and the whole Nigeria social media is littered with your negative dispositions to the President and his party.
You are free to keep crying or change your combative and demeaning attitude towards the president and his party.
BTW, what is the economic importance of your 2NB outside shipping you lot out and in of your hatefilled enclave mostly towards the SW you all love to deride on SM

If this story is true, then GEJ & his Minister for Works has a lot to answer for, because according to GEJ manifesto the contruction of the 2nd Niger Bridge should be nearing completion now.

Lots of photos were shown in NL in 2014 about the bridge, so what happened to the funds budgeted for the construction?

GEJ has really scammed the South East.

Opposition towards the president on a cybersphere does not mean the president should be vengeful. Only an afonja would believe that is what a good president does.
The people opposing him online may be not even be igbo, but that is not even important. And it is even online which i doubt is enough to actively stop buhari from doing whatever he wants to do.
Buhari is not the only president under a democracy with opposition. The most powerful presidents and leaders in the world have sizable electoral populations that hate them.
If you want everybody to like buhari, then turn Nigeria to north korea if you believe it is possible, or ask buhari to make the south east leave the ''union''.
You all claim to be sophisticated but it remains to be seen.
