was gej d govr of cross river state?

did d govr said federal govt will execute d job?

d super highway is it fed govt project? is it in buhari's padded budget?

seaport, power plants, mining license are all in federal govt exclusive list. u cant undergo any of these projects without federal govt being involve. am part of ibom deep seaport, at least am privy to some info concerning that project, once it comes onboard will be d first to break d news. dont wanna sharp mouth yet. I can categorically tell u singaporeans r the contractors, they promise to deliver the job in 12months time once they start.
the problem is howfunding considering the paucity of funds in d state, another problem is the former consultant took the new govr to court that she still wants to continue with the job afer they paid her off.

buhari is not putting a dime in bakassi port, fact. they only job of fed govt is to approve.
the super highway is strictly state govt project.

So in essence the ibom port project is still on course?

This present fg is not frustrating it?

Funds in the issue? Where is calabar getting its fund then?

I ask these questions so as to know whom to hold responsible in the future in case it no longer materializes.

Wen they wanted to build railroads tru SE, rather than u guys to come up with a logical roadmap on what to be included in the budget, u pple turned it into political drama. Everybody has just ignored u pple. Wen u guys r ready and see that u r being left behind maybe some senses might emerge. Even in Bayelsa, they said "We can't allow this to happen. If GEJ did not do PMB now wants to do it. What will pple say?" Wat sort of mentality is that. Abeggi. u pple should stop disturbin jare. Tell ur govs to bring back ur money from their accounts

you went ranting without making any point or answering my question..name a project blown up in the se?..it was the executive and legislative chamber that were throwing tantrums about a rail project that passes mostly sw and ss a tiny part of it passing se(aba)..bayelsa is not se in case you do not know nigeria so please go and brush up your current affairs ..too many kids on nairaland these days

Chiwude:
Nice Update! Which road is that?

orji flyover

cheruv:
He's right actually
Rivers comprise of three ethnic stocks viz Igbo, Ijo and Ogoni and to the best of my knowledge those ethnicities are 99% Christian

what is the economic benefits of sponsoring pilgrimage? Look at it from that angle not emotion..well I always said woke will finish rivers state from my experience of him being obi akpor LGA chairman

AkoEja:
This country is so hard to rule, I really pity our leaders. There's so many moronic comments on this thread. How do you expect a government of just one year to fix all the problems of over 50 years? The people in this government seem to have good intentions, and they seem to be doing a few things right. They are still unsettled, as the country is facing an economic meltdown apart from so many security and political issues. This is going to take any government sometime to solve this.

There are so many unpatriotic Nigerians who only think about their own personal gains even if it destroys the country. People from the East are hellbent on destroying this government, irrespective of their best intentions. Boko Haram is another issue. Easterners(so called Biafrans) want to make sure that this government fails, mainly because the government is blocking the source of their stolen funds. Unfortunately Nigeria does not have enough infrastructure to deal with these rogues calling themselves militants. Irrespective of the degree of militancy, Biafra is no more and cannot be resuscitated, the rest of Nigeria will not allow it. The sooner people get this into their thick skulls, the better

why are you confusing Biafra and militancy?

senior123:
Its not Taraba Hmm. Havent u noticed? All development plans r going to SW,CENTRAL,NE,NW states. If the put in SS/SE now, they will blow it up. Then start claiming marginalization.

name a project blown up in the se

Funny because on saharareporters twitter page last week they tweeted that fuel pump would rise to 140naira per liter in the next two weeks and I thought it was just a cruel joke

worksmart:
No provision for subsidy in the budget, therefore it is fair to assume that no subsidy exists.
There is going to be need for fuel prices to fluctuate relative to international fluctuations in crude and fuel prices since we are still importing significant proportion of our fuel.
That is why it is necessary to periodically adjust fuel prices, as the government may be about to do.

fiizznation:
asha80 my friend. I told you tompolo was behind the recent pipelines vandalism and you thought I was lying

well I am inclined to believe this because I have studied the whom scenario

Musiwa419:
Is the same event not playing out again now?

well they have failed to learn

Warri got it all wrong when big spenders like shell and other ioc started leaving the city due to militant activities and also that ijaw/itshekiri clash

Abagworo:
Jonathan messed things up by empowering criminals instead of intellects thereby discouraging education and hardwork. Yar'Adua started the nonsense though. Bayelsa and the pure Ijaw found only in Bayelsa and Delta States need a lot of reorientation to solve an endemic social crisis similar to Northern alimajiri. The Ijaw speaking Rivers like Kalabari are advanced and well positioned in the business world and academia.

work ethic of the average bayelsan is to honest poor from my experiences

olujastro:
Lemme educate you. When huge amount of money is transacted in a bank: excess of N1m for an individual, and N5m for a corporate body; the bank is supposed to report such to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit. The bank probably didn't.
Secondly, Diezani had no account with the bank but brought in $23m cash alongside funds from four oil companies for the MD to keep for further disbursements to INEC officials.
Thirdly, the MD got his share of I think...N20m for a Job well done
All these are brazen acts of corruption!

I am not sure if you can categorically say diezani has no account with the bank though unless you have records of all the bank acc owners

Hehe food don do for Freeglobe

barlinbuchi:
[i][/i]Guy Gerarah here,what do u mean.go and ask questions, Aba boys started it.militants were kidnapping not for Ransom.

I guess those whites kidnapped were released without ransom payment abi?

Abagworo:
Because the place has changed drastically. That bushy fence opposite the St Josephs Church is the Umuna school as shown in this pic.

ok I get it now

fiizznation:
You guys didn't proof anything on how "Fulani herdsmen" graze your lands with their cows around that nimbo-uzo community. And that was what I asked you guys to proof, rather you resulted to insults and calling me names. I don't say what I don't know. Most of what i usually post online are backup with proofs my friend.

you believe tompolo is behind these nda?

Yyeske:
Nna sure of others but help me check cross river, not too sure leaving my brothers when time reach

now the problem is do these people we see as brothers see us as brothers? I have had countless experiences with them and what some spew here does not really match what is on ground..now how do you assuage people with this mentality http://akwaibomvoice.com/igbos-have-taken-over-our-economy-president-uyo-chambers-of-commerce-cry-out/

CyberWolf:
That is what I have been saying, nobody is talking about this people's demand. Their demand is very easy and inline with what sane minds has been saying.
Restructure this country to regionalism or true federalism where laziness and parasitism won't be tolerated rather we keep playing the ostrich and shying away from the main issue. Anything that will bring about restructuring of the country is welcomed by me.

the problem with restructuring is that it has to go through the legislature ( your guess is as good as mine what will happen there)..i dont thing that conference dealt with it

Abagworo:
That was in 2012. If you look very well you can see that 3 stirey penthoused building in the background in this 2015 picture of same place.

to be honest I dont really see the similarity

Yyeske:
Must the state be an Igbo state before we talk?

I dont understand this question

betterABIAstate:
I pray he doesn't also, I'm just tired of been called a Nigerian.

are you ready for the other option? I mean really ready?

Yyeske:
Bring up LGAs or communities in the stated states with no Igbo indigenous population?
States stated have sizable Igbo population in those States and LGAs

ok I get you now but crossriver state? ( I thought you were about going the nnamdi kanu way lol)

betterABIAstate:
this also goes a long way to show how he's not in charge of his cabinet.

I don't really think that is the discussion here though as I dont believe he will accede to mmm most of what those guys are asking for

betterABIAstate:
he served as a spokesman for buhari

buhari that has denied what some his party or even executive members have said before? I dont think you know buhari well

Yyeske:
Allow those winshes, we know them. Igbo bu ofu anywhere. Ofu obi. Abia, Anambra, Benue,Cross River, Ebonyi, Edo , Enugu, Imo, Rivers, Delta,Akwa Ibom.

any reason you mentioned some states that aren't igbos or Igbo speaking states?

betterABIAstate:
the general just said he's willing to negotiate with them

he didn't.it was boroh ( the man in charge of amnesty or something like that) that said that

These were the words of SSA to the President on NASS matters. Today the budget was signed, at 12:00pm, and although, skeptical I still held some small hope that immediately or in a few hours, a lot would change, which would brighten up my day and bring smiles to my face. But alas, it's now 9:37pm, and nothing new has happened. As I speak, I haven't seen my bulb flash, not to mention staying on for hours, the water pump outside my house is still not running. As I was driving back from work, I noticed that most of the fuel stations which were selling fuel yesterday, were all shutdown , and had no fuel. Earlier today, at 3:00pm, when I gave a lift to my Oga's kids, from their school, I asked them if they were given free meals today or provided Nasco biscuits, but they replied "FOR WHERE".
So I would like to ask Senator Enang, when will I experience the happiness.
Before I forget, it has started raining, well atleast that is comforting.

you are plain stupid ...eod

Abagworo:
The pirate radio is turning hitherto hardworking Igbos to people who no longer believe in themselves. Many youths don't know hardwork pays as they blame Hausa and Yoruba for their misfortunes.

Meanwhile who can tell me this location? Millionaireman come and shame yourself.

I dont believe in them not believing themselves any longer as I mingle with most but I slightly agree with the blame thing...what is there to look at the pic? Nothing fascinating just that is umuna from the signboard there

Omenanwanta:
Good governor good response. But warn the igbos selling igbo land to them in Afikpo, Okigwe, and Lokpanta.

those ones in lokpanta are Hausa traders not Fulani herdsmen

Blizzy9ja:
Like I said the kidnap den was to press home their demands which was not always financial

it might have started like that but it truly derailed..i mean as at 2007 people dey waka ph dey raised hand.
What did you think caused the army to tell people to do that?when expatriates started leaving ph who did the militants turn to and what was their motive then?

Blizzy9ja:
The Senate minority leader said it all... The militants kidnapped oil workers and expatriates to press home their demands which of course we condemned but was done as a last resort... But the Aba guys changed it to business, they could kidnap for even recharge card.

I guess those expatriates were released without money being paid for their release..you must think those were living in ph those days are fools

I thought a moniker LadyExcellency Said this statement accredited to akpabio was not true but propaganda to cause dissaffection btw ss and se..case of allowing emotion to becloud ones thinking
