At the just concluded SouthEast Economic & Development Summit, Gov Soludo Calls For A SouthEast Plan And Homeland Consciousness.

Reflections upon reflections, Soludo’s heart-warming and thunderous speech at the concluded Southeast Economic and Security Summit has provoked thoughtful conversation across the world, raising the right questions and challenging the understanding of the Summit that was held in Owerri, the Imo State capital. His eloquent assertion manifests a subtle distinction of a philosopher thinker and great stoic leader when he took center stage, he made no mistakes in driving home his points highlighting the ‘needs and the benefits’ of his clarion call for homeland plan, homeland consciousness, partnership, and self believe.

Soludo speech is guided by the thought that “ideas without action are empty, and actions without idea are blind, ideas and actions without a plan are destined to fail”. Yes, there are beautiful ideas and projects to be implemented across the homeland, but these cannot be achieved without a well-thought-out documented plan. This thought made his call for the eastern region to come together in unity to map out the region’s long-term working document a necessity - - a 100-year Development Plan that will serve as a guiding step. From this viewpoint, it is only a united homeland that will reclaim the glorious past of Dr. MI Okpara era which built southeast as the fastest-growing economy in the world.

Other measures he highlighted for the southeast to attain the desired development include the emphasis on the gains of the people desiring to move forward despite challenges and the fact that people must stop lamentation, and as an itinerant people, the region cannot be intolerant. Easter region must seek a genuine partnership across Nigeria and the rest of the world. As John The Baptist, unity, partnership, and self-belief remain in his sermon. The proof of this pudding will be in the eating and if Ndigbo must unlock the benefits of this act and be fully seen and appreciated by those it is meant to serve, then we must start to rethink, and be reborn by having homeland consciousness. Everyone must be committed to the Southeast agenda, and believe in our ability.

Good advice

I pray for the South East to have a turn around in the next 8 years. Else they are Benue State may not be too far from being compared to some states in the far North of this country.

I am happy they are demanding for Kanu's release. That's all.
