Ok, perhaps I misread him.


I don't deny that the federal government has recorded abysmal failure in many areas, under both civilian and military rule, that would be crucial to aiding the growth and development

A good example is the massive amounts of natural gas in the southwest and the coal in the southeast not being used for energy/electricity despite being right in front of us. It makes no sense to me. Perhaps specialists know something that I don't about this, but I've thought about it for a while and haven't been able to figure out why nobody is doing anything with all those resources in front of them.

As per the roads and buildings, I still maintain that outside funding is needed to build and maintain all of that until such a time where taxes are enough to maintain them + build new ones, there's no way a (non-Abacha) federal government will just decide to focus on any one large city over hundreds of others if it can't also pay for improvements in the hundreds of others at the same time.

It's great that they even have a city/state/or regional master plan. That shows the kind of seriousness which is bound to produce results regardless of outside help. I doubt I could say the same for my own home city or state with regard to having a coherent, systematic plan.

Benin no get masterplan?

_{off topic. physics can explain to me how auchi came to be a moslem town?was their an islamic invasion there?}

PhysicsMHD:

As far as I can tell no. I mean Oshiomole is definitely putting in some effort though. When last I visited, they were demolishing/removing and marking for removal homes and businesses that were blocking the expansion of new roads.

@Kalu Akanu

Are you not embarrassed or ashamed of the bolded?- that the clever, self determined, republican/democratic Igbo, are victims in their own 'home', >, WHY? What happened to the power of the people? or so called community spirit? Is it dead?

Mobinga:

Yoruba tribalists are foolish.

Abagworo:

IMAO I think the best solution to all the problems in Nigeria is true federalism and absolute resource control at least on state level.

kildran:

What abt Ibo tribalists Are u makin any sense at all. A piece of logic, yr post is tribal, tribalist are silly, So automatically u are silly.

Kalu Akanu:

The best solution to all the problems in Nigeria is to split the dammn nation. We have to be honest with ourselves. No one likes each other.

And to be honest, Nigeria needs the Igbos more than we need them. The entire East doesn't need Nigeria.

Abagworo:

Frankly I would rather want my people(clan) as a country of ours or remain in Nigeria under true federalism.I prefer not to be part of your proposed Igbo country.

Kalu Akanu:

The best solution to all the problems in Nigeria is to split the dammn nation. We have to be honest with ourselves. No one likes each other.

You will be surprised that 10% igbo will never return home even after breaking the country, dont argue with me, I have igbo colleagues and friends who have never prayed for biafra cos they are not likely to step that land (except for marriage purposes) due to . . 

Then in a maximum of 10yrs, 60% of the ones that returned to biafra would have been back or willing to go back to their various biz states, places and investments. Leaving the nation as deserted as it used to be.

Then, who will you hold responsible?

Mobinga:

I said Yoruba Tribalists Are Foolish.  If you don't have the common sense to comprehend what a 4-letter sentence means, then I'm sorry for you and I'm calling the psychiatrists to lock you up in an asylum, as only someone with an IQ of less than negative 10 would fail to comprehend what that sentence means.

raycomray:

AS AN IBO MAN, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DISAPPOINTED BY THE WAY IBOS HANDLE LEADERSHIP. THAT "JUNGLE LIKE-SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST ATTITUDE" IS A PROBLEM WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO HUNT OUR CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND POLITICAL RELEVANCE IN NIGERIA AND BEYOND.

THE PROBLEM OF THE IBOS IS NOT WITH THE CIVIL WAR, HAUSA'S, YORUBA'S, ETC. LET US FOR ONCE DISCUSS ISSUES AND DISALLOW ETHNO-RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS FROM BECLOUDING OUR SENSE OF REASONING AND OBJECTIVITY. THE IBO NATION COULD ACHIEVE MORE EVEN WITHOUT OIL REVENUE IF WE ARE A BIT MORE ORGANIZED WITH A PURPOSEFUL SENSE OF LEADERSHIP.

THE GOVT OF ANAMBRA STATE SHOULD LOOK INWARDS VIA IGR( INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUES) AND LIFT NNEWI OUT OF THE DUNGEONS OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT. FURTHERMORE, THE SOUTHEAST "LEADERS OF THOUGHT" SHOULD COME TOGETHER TO DRAFT A 20-YEAR DEVELOPMENTAL PLAN FOR THE IBO NATION. MAYBE, OUR FUTURE LIES IN OUR HANDS AND NOT IN OIL REVENUE, HAUSA'S, YORUBA'S ETC

Eko Ile:

Only tribally foolish and misguided people like you label everything, even obvious historical facts tribal, too bad you're yet to figure out and comprehend that the so called Yoruba tribalists are the least of your worries.

What ever shortcomings and lousy state of affairs in your towns and villages emanates from the actions, inactions  and decisions of your leaders and people in general, not Yoruba people.


lol @ Nigeria needs the Igbos more than we need them. What a foolish and ignorant statement. A great percentage of your people can't even make it without venturing into other parts of Nigeria, especially Yoruba land, same Yoruba folks you love to hate.


Abeg shut up sometimes,

Abagworo:

I would want to believe that you are not calling Lagos Yorubaland.

alj harem:

no no no

lagos is igboland just like abuja and kaduna

fstranger1:

And isreal and London and anywhere else that is flourishing
