Not like the thread concerns me but the truth is that South East leaders don't have developmental plans, save for Umahi and Ebonyi state.

I used to think Obiano had plans for Anambra but the man fancy propaganda beyond true developments.

Abia state is a write-off despite walking the path of an economic state.

Enugu state governor had just one mandate; maintain the good deeds of Sullivan Chime, but no, he towed the path of neglect and would rather organise fasting and prayer alongside every Phyno concert at the Stadium. Refuse dump centres are fast showing up in strategic areas in the only two developed local governments in the state and no one is saying a thing.

Just recently, a sink hole surfaced at New Haven junction and forces all vehicles into using just a route. Rotary club fixed the road with all diligence while 'Gburugburu' came all out after two weeks to 'commission' the road!

Imo... Well, I don't need to say a thing about that one.

I don't know how else to best describe a people so fortunate to have been blessed with the kind of governors they have now.

In plain English language, the South East has no developmental blue print. Umahi might have one but I sure as hell believe no other South Eastern governor has one.
The reference was not just about the present governors but their leaders in general and in history. You are just referring to governors of just two years apart from Rochas. Even with the present govts, give it to anambra and ebonyi. Enugu, Imo have had past govs who had clear blueprint for development

Imo is developing well. There is clear blueprint which Okorocha is working with but not well covered by media. He has built a new cargo Airport with cold store warehouses for perishables and has earmarked an area in Ohaji/Egbema for modern industrial park which was one of the reasons President Zuma came with South African business men. There is also an ongoing power plant at Egbema.

SUBJECT: GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA EXPLAINS WHY SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT, MR JACOB ZUMA IS VISITING IMO

The governor also explained the reasons behind the expected visit of the South African President, Mr. Jacob Zuma to his state on Friday, October 13, 2017, stating that the important part of the visit is that Rochas Foundation and Zuma Foundation will be signing MoU, for them to jointly work on education for the indigent children in Africa.

He continued “We are also looking at partnership for the Egbema Industrial Park. We are also looking at the possibility of the Africa Union University which has a lot to do with Rochas Foundation. We are hoping that by the time he visits, arrangement must have gone half way into the management of the International Cargo Airport which South African Airline has indicated interest in its management. The chairman of South African Airline is also coming to look at the airport.”

He added “My dream is to see the International Cargo Airport kickoff. I pray it kicks off because when it does, half of our economic problems would have been solved. The International Cargo Airport and our green farm project which is coming up now with the Mexicans. And with the Industrial Park coming up, then we are fine. It will be easy for investors to proceed to anywhere in the world. One of the major conditions investors are giving is that they will like the cargo airport to commence, especially the Mexicans who want to invest in the green farms”.

He further explained “South African Airline will do us a lot of good if they will take up the management of the Imo International Cargo Airport. This is one of the reasons for his coming as you know, presidents do not go where they don’t have business interest.”

He said “The most important part of the visit is that Rochas Foundation and Zuma Foundation will be signing MoU for us to jointly work on education for indigent children of Africa. As you are aware, Rochas Foundation College of Africa has commenced and the foundation will be signing MoU with Zuma Foundation to cater for the education of the under privileged African children”.

Show me stats.

Stats suggest that Yorubas are comfortable and rich people.

It's not everyone that lives in a mansion is rich neither are those that live in small houses poor. This is a lesson in life that every man must understand.

Your mentality is deeply disturbing.

Don't mind them, whereas we know that the level of poverty we see in osun, ekiti etc oh I forgot

Every Yoruba man is a lagosian

That's why most Ibos don't want Biafra. An Enugu man can never govern Imo. Unlike Lagos where an Ondo man is currently the governor.

I have never seen or known a governor who plays the media game like Obiano.

Anambra had the potentiality to excel as a state but with a man as Obiano at its helm, believe me, it would be one vicious cycle.

Our play field is beyond Igbo land. We will develop Igbo land definitely. But we must get our politics right. Our politics is currently burdened by an oppressive Nigeria state that hates core Igbo values of merit, fairness and equality. Very soon Tony Nwonye will take over in Anambra and it will be a 50/50 chance. We pray he walks the part of Ngige rather than Rochas. This way our opponents will be disappointed. Otherwise we will still await the opportune time to get our true leader not the one influenced by Nigeria. Meanwhile we will continue to migrate to other parts of Nigeria where opportunities abound.

If the migration continues without developing igbo land, then igbos would continue to be looked upon with suspicion and scorn. Already, igbos are referred to as 2nd class citizens. It is very important for igbos to go back home. Well, I think the igbos would never listen so what is my own? Just continue the payment of taxes to the governments of other wise ethnic groups.Future generation of Igbos must pay for the folly of this present generation.

The topic was deleted for no reason, but I will recreate the clean version.

Today, Ibadan, Lagos, Ogun and even Osun all have masterplans to develop their land. Why don't Ibos have the same plan? Why do they rely on FG to come up with a plan to develop the SE?

Which region in Nigeria has leaders who "develop" their place? South West and Northern leaders are the most guilty of under developing their regions.

What develops a region is private sector efforts backed up by Federal and State government infrastructure such as power, good roads, railways etc. The federal government has been giving and still giving roads, railways, dams, irrigation etc to the north and south west yet those two regions are still largely backward and underdeveloped.

In a place like Anambra the state infrastructure is generally good and the private sector is vibrant. There is almost no existing federal infrastructure there...Is there any place in the south west as vibrant economically as Anambra? No call Lagos o!!

No long tin. Your attempt to spin a soul searching article by an Igbo son is dead on arrival. It has no bearing on development, the article is referring to vices among igbo political leaders who as events and current news has shown are not half as corrupt as their south west or northern counterparts.

Ibo leaders neglect their duty to develop iboland because there is no demand of responsibility from the people because at the end of the day, Ibos will end up blaming Yorubas, FG and Fulanis for their retrogression.

I have visited 3 SE states and what I can say is that region is disserted, the population there is very small. Ohaneze should do something about the migration 70% of Igbos live outside the SE. The SE is not any better than the SW or SS.

Have you been to Abeokuta to see the massive world class roads and over head bridges the Governor built.

Anambra has 3 Overheard bridges and Abeokuta alone has about 6 overheard bridges, 1 overhead bridge in Ota, 2 in Ijebu-Ode. What of Akure? In terms of Infrastructure SW beats the SE only the SS is in competition with the SW.

It's just a lofty and easy idea to see Igbo as second class citizen. In reality they are the only ones currently undergoing purification for the world of tomorrow which will take all of you buy shocking surprise. Meanwhile it's your future generations that will condemn your lack of foresight for selling all your land and refusal to venture beyond your immediate vicinity.
