warri and ughelli are not part of any 'east'

SS/SE, they are all thesame, they are intertwined and share thesame philosophy just like NW/NE.

'Purnish' SouthWest?'

How do you square that with reports that Tinubu may be offered 2 ministerial slots in the new cabinet as payback from Jonathan.

Also, why do people equate a big port in Port Harcort as purnishment. Shouldnt that be part of the national economic plan anyway?

Port or no Port elesewhere, Lagos has immense unique gravitational pool for people & businesses. The big Banks, Insurers, leading Law firms, and virtually all the dealmaking institutions as well as most of the multinationals are headquartered in Lagos. Even the multinational oil companies are mostly headquartered in Lagos. They are hardly going to start moving to PH because of a new port.

There should be other ports, but Lagos is too far ahead to worry too much.

@topic
GEJ isn't planning to punish anybody. What for? He won in the SW for goodness sake!
The core-North is the section that was defeated in the elections, so how can they be planning anything with the South, especially as the SS and core-North are not on friendly terms? The article doesn't make sense.

There are ports in Warri and Port Harcourt that were deliberately killed by past govts. They need to be open for business, why would anyone that wants some shipping (in or out) need to travel all the way to Lagos from Warri or PH when there are local ports? The whole country needs to be opened up, including ports on the newly dredged Niger river etc. That amounts to developing the country, not punishing anyone.

I hate to see all these tribal war you people are doing here. Every tribe is important in this country. The yorubas have voted those they want as leaders and they shouldnt be disturbed for that pls. I even want my state, imo to vote apga. Nigeria must not be one party state pls. Let the economy of all zones be given a boost and Nigeria will be better for it.

You can't eat your cake, and have it too. 

I remember the Yoruba braggarts were stating how the SW would be rewarded for their lackluster support of GEJ and how the Igbo lose again.

Who is losing now?

seanet02:

the Ibos of Course!! They will never be able to Attaain the Office of the President. I am so sure about that
To hell with Mainstream politics that does not connotes Development and Progress

GBAM!!
Ezeuche and co don't have Common sense, don't mind them

Sometimes, I wonder where your common sense goes. Do you not know that if the Yorubas did not join the South in her support, then GEJ will not be there. From OBJ to the populace. Once they feel cheated, you can forget Southern unity and the North will ALWAYS rule. Btw, the So called NC is simply a mixture of Yorubas and Fulanis with other MAJOR groups. I would really advise you not to make them feel cheated. The North offered them and the SS VP positions but they chose the South. Did they offer you anything NO! The point is, let us work together to actualise Chime/ Amechi and Fashola presidency. Its the time for the technocrats.

EzeUche_:

Now you all are trying to preach Southern Unity? GEJ did not need the SW lackluster support. The SE, SS, and MB is now the true power.

The East has been cheated for over 40 years. Now the time for our ascendancy is NOW.

Preach your Southern unity to someone who cares.

jason123:

LOL. See you 2015!!!

Man mi , GEJ has no choice but to build bridges . It is only feudalists like EzeUche who are keen to portray him as their local champion. Their naiveness will not allow them see that the reality is much different to what they think.

Am amazed at the way some pple launder tribal sentiments on nairaland. For your info 20 years from now the SW will still be a frontrunner in many areas in nija,Have u ever imagined why the almighty abuja has not been able to match lagos in many areas?

Yeye people, I even pray they close up the port finally, maybe some of you will go bak to your home states and let lagosians have a breath of fresh air. E ko oni baje ooo!

seanet02:

O Baje Ti!!

EzeUche_:

Jonathan is a child of the East. He knows the wrongs that have been committed against the region. His region just like Igboland has been mistreated by people from not only the North, but the SW as well.

It is time to correct past wrongs.

seanet02:

O Baje Ti!!

Gbawe:

"correcting the past wrongs" can never include the vengeful nonsense you now support that can only cause division and ,subsequently, needless problems for GEJ. I don't think a President keen to keep everyone happy will , for one second, pander to the favouritism you are drooling for . You are free to keep dreaming. Things will soon become clear to you.

EzeUche_:

President Jonathan cannot forget the tribalistic remarks of Tinubu said about him.

The SW people only care about themselves. They do not care about others and definitely do not care about the Niger Delta.

Remember it was an Igbo who created the 'SS' political region.  

SE/SS onward progressing!

EzeUche_:

Who is being vengeful? I am supporting a focus on economic prosperity in the East and Niger Delta. Do you have a problem with that? For far too long, the SW, has benefited economically from Awolowo trickery.

Now it is time to correct past wrongs.

EzeUche_:

Yes. . .

O baje titi or however you say it.  

step1:

Who are you ?. Are you a politician or are you in PDP. Obasanjo destroyed PDP in Lagos and the whole of SW yes he did but it does not mean PDP will punish the SW, for what reason if I may ask ?. If the SW is punished by PDP, then that's it. There is not way they can win the SW again. Then again, you post like a child I do not expect you to understand this things.

I said the SW will be punished. Let see how they react.

step1:

Correct what ?. Let me tell you that the port built in port Harcourt and others are good for the nation. Even as a detribalisted man, I want you people to leave lagos. Need I tell you that so long as there are companies's HQ in Lagos, it would still be an economic hub. Ezeuche think a bit so that you may see. All this moves has been planned but YCE and that is why PDP in lagos and other SW are not bothered about ACN winning. From what Akala did if you are intelligent enough, you would see that PDP in SW gave ACN the power.

The other day I was talking to my father about why they fielded Dosummu in Lagos, knowing full well that he would not win. His response was not satisfying that speaks a lot about the SW.
