Okay.

Desyner:
You are. If not you won't turn a blind eye to the challenges on ground. Restructuring isn't about just sacking people it entails sacking dormant people in redundant positions people and replacing them with needed hands and positions. It will lead to increase productivity and help reduce poverty, inflation, joblessness (cos there are many need hands).
You tell me which is better, a dormant special adviser to a governor earning N500,000/month or six active civil servants earning 83,300 each?

Those civil servants could be nurses, technician, construction workers serving me and you directly instead of one fake big man earning so much for contributing nothing.

.

I am actually concerned about civil servants in FG parastatals not politicians and their cronies.

Deprofessional:
For me, Nigeria should be divided into 6 regions namely:

1 south east

2. south west

3. south south

4. North east

5. North west

6. North central

Any of this regions can create as many as one million states and local governments if it wants and if it can carter for them.
Every region will pay not more than 10% tax to the central government for maintenance of the military and of course there must be equal number of military officer from each region.

Well, the north is saying no. If we must go back to regionalism then we must also go back to the four regions.

Deprofessional:
Mention the four regions.

North, East, West & Mid West.

Desyner:
What about the massive joblessness, corruption, starvation, and underdevelopment we have on ground? It is clear you are one of the parasites benefiting from the current structure.

I am not benefiting oga. So you want to add to the massive joblessness on ground already?

Desyner:
Parasitic mentality. Our current structure has already left too many of us shortchanged. So if people lose their jobs it is perfectly normal.

So you don't mind mass loss of jobs If you don't, others do. Thx

Truckpusher:
You lazy mofos with your warped mentality about changes are the reason why Nigeria is so backward.

How does restructuring turn people into cannibals ? You want to keep the unproductive unitary system at all cost - So when the oil in the Niger Delta runs out what happens ?

Oga, I never said we should keep the unitary system. I am only saying that we should be careful.

greatermax77:
Lets go back to regionalism of 1963 period.
There was more development & competion then.
The south knows what they want, is only the north that is confusing themselves

We had four regions in 1963 hope you know. The north is saying that if regionalism is the preferred choice then we must return to the former four regions.

Personally I recommend power rotation between the north and the south for a single term of six years to be included in our constitution.

Restructuring is the reigning word now all over the country.

I just want to say that we should be very careful what we are asking for.

I hope restructuring will not lead to mass job loss at the federal level.

I hope we will not have states where people will start eating human beings to survive.

Good Lord!

7lives:
Let us restructure the country, THOSE WHO asked for it don't even KNOW what they are asking for.

I think we should be very careful about this restructuring stuff. It might back fire if not well managed.

omenka:
An Igbo man would surely be but not now. We should be looking at 2023 and beyond if Buhari contests and wins.

If Buhari doesn't and another Northerner contests and and wins, out of greed for power, which is typical of ALL politicians regardless of where they come from, this Northerner would likely seek reelection in 2023 and if he wins, we would either have:

1. An Igbo Vice Presidency in 2027.

Or

2. An Igbo Presidency in the same year.

These are the likely outcome of events I see, ESPECIALLY IF they succeed in forming a good alliance with the South West. The Middle Beltans would have no problem with that.

I implore the Igbos to initiate the process of fence mending with the Yorubas.

Cc: Nairavsdollars.

Please help with fence mending by opening a thread.

We will support you.

Let's save this country.

Nigeria is a beautiful country.

Mr Attache By Force,

What concerns you? Are Niger Deltans complaining?

This information does not concern you as none of the 5 SE states will ever get a seaport,

Afterall, you are landlocked

Illiterate. Read below. Igbo land is not landlocked

Does It Mean That Southeast Nigeria Is Not Landlocked Like We Are Told? by petsam11(m): 2:29pm On Aug 26
Southeast and by extension, Igboland has access to the Sea, Rivers, Water Ways to Atlantic Ocean but some ignorant Nigerians cannot learn the geography and history that is evident and factual on ground in southeast and Nigeria. They love to be ignorant despite facts in their land. What a people with Nigerians and Africans mentality of denial of facts as long as it massages their ego and wishful thinking.

Lets use a simple arithmetic to teach the ignorants in these forums that Igboland is not land locked. Fact one, IkwerreLand/Porharcourt and Porthhacourt seaport was dredged 40 to 50 Miles to sea from the Bonny River to Atlantic Ocean. Onne SeaPort in Ogoni land was dredged 50 to 60 Miles to Sea from Bonny River for Larger ships to Atlantic Ocean. Calabar Seaport is dredged 45 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. Akwa Ibom Ibaka deep seaport is about 30 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean without dredging and the best seaport location in depth and width in Eastern Nigeria. Then open your dummy eyes and ears again.

PROPOSED 2 (TWO) SEA PORTS IN OBEAKU- NDOKI AND AZUMIRI SEAPORTS IN ABIA STATE.

Obuaku Ndoki Port in Abia State is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean from the confluence of Imo River and Azumiri (blue River) in Abia State, which is a large and deep body water of high flowing and rich rivers. Azumiri Blue River in Abia State is also 25-30 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean for a big Seaport and big ships. Many Igbo towns and villages in Imo State, Abia State, Anambra State and Anioma are within 30 minutes to one hour drive to the Sea Atlantic Ocean. That is not land lock you dummies.


7 (SEVEN) SEA PORTS AND POTENTIAL SEAPOPORT UNDERWAY IN EASTERN PARTS OF NIGERIA.

(1)PORTHARCOURT SEAPORT - IN RIVERS STATE ALONG BONNY RIVER IS 45 NAUTICAL MILES TO ATLANTIC OCEAN
(2) ONNE SEAPORT - IN RIVERS STATE ALONG BONNY RIVER IS 50 NAUTICAL MILES TO ATLANTIC OCEAN
(3) CALABAR SEAPORT- IN CROSS RIVERS STATE IS 45 NAUTICAL MILES TO ATLANTIC OCEAN
(4) IBAKA SEAPORT-IN AKWA IBOM STATE IS 30 NAUTICAL MILES TO ATLANTIC OCEAN
(5)OBEAKU-NDOKI SEAPORT- IN ABIA STATE IS 25 NAUTICAL MILES TO OCEAN (PROPOSED UNDER PLANNING)
(6) AZUMIRI IN ABIA STATE CONFLUENCE BLUE RIVER IS 30 NAUTICAL MILES TO ATLANTIC OCEAN (PROPOSED AND PLANNING UNDERWAY)
(7) ONITSHA INLAND RIVER PORT IN ANAMBRA STATE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.


Ever since the Abia State Government announced their intention to bring a Sea Port to the state, there have been many questions raised. I reached out to a source at the Government House, Umuahia to obtain clarity. I was told that the proposed location for the seaport is in Obuaku, Ukwa West, LGA. Right in Obuaku, there is a confluence point where the Imo River and the Blue River meet. The Obuaku confluence passes through Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom State. In Rivers state for instance, (along Bonny River) we have Portharcourt Seaport and we have the Sea Port located in Onne, Eleme L.G.A. Onne,This is Nigeria’s busiest sea port and ranks as the largest sea port in west Africa. Did you know that while Rivers State (Porharcourt Sea Port) sits 40 nautical miles away from the Atlantic Ocean and Onne Port in River State along Bonny River sits 50 Nautical Miles away from the Atlantic Ocean. Obuaku Blue River and Azumiri Rivers is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean? To some, this talk about a sea port in Abia state may sound unrealistic but, it is not far fetched. Even if it does not get realized by the T. A administration, this legacy project will come to fruition in no distant time.


Igboland is not landlocked according to United Nation treaty, International law OF THE Sea and African Union laws. Igboland has many Rivers, Canals, Waterways, Lake and bays in Imo State, Anambra state, Anioma, Asaba and Abia States which flows into the Atlantic Oceans and the Sea and many a distance of 30 minutes drive.
FACTS ON GROUND
Development of a Sea-Port at Obuaku-Ndoki: many Nigerians, even including many enlightened sons and daughters of Nd’igbo, had, out of geographical ignorance, borne the impression that the South-East of Nigeria is land-locked. But being a visionary leader, the truth is now being made manifest that the Blue River/Imo River confluence at Obuaku-Ndoki is only twenty-five nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean. We are thankful that your administration is working committedly to establishing a sea-port at the confluence town of Obuaku.
AN ADDRESS PRESENTED BY THE PEOPLE OF ABIA-SOUTH SENATORIAL ZONE ON THE OCCASION OF A GRAND CIVIC RECEPTION FOR HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR T. A. ORJI (OCHENDO GLOBAL) AT ABIA STATE POLYTECHNIC, ABA ON 1ST FEBRUARY, 2014.
AS SCRIPTED BY CHIEF (SIR) DON UBANI; KSC, JP (OKWUBUNKA OF ASA)

Chief (Sir) Don Ubani; ksc, JP 11/06/2013
"further inward by thinking of laying a bigger foundation of economy for not only Abia State but the whole of the South-East geo-political zone by formally conceptualizing the establishment of a sea-port at Obeaku-Ndoki, in Ukwa-East Local Government Area.
Embarking on a road map that will ginger his successor to see to the realization of a sea-port in Abia State, would correct the erroneous impression widely held by uninformed Nigerians that the South-East zone of Nigeria is land-locked. This is very far from the truth.The Imo River, which originates from Umuaku in Isuochi of Umunneochi Local Government Area meandered its way up to Obeaku-Ndoki, from where it emptied itself into the Atlantic Ocean. It is very strategic to mention that the distance between Obeaku-Ndoki and the Atlantic Ocean, which commences not far from Igwenga in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area of Akwa-Ibom State, is only twenty-five nautical miles.For the avoidance of doubt, any zone that enjoys a proximity of even thirty nautical miles to a maritime endowment such as the Atlantic Ocean, should not in any way categorize itself as being land-locked. For the benefit of those who do not know, Port-Harcourt wharf is about forty nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean. It was dredged and scooped during the Premiership of Dr. M.I. Okpara during the defunct Eastern Region for ships to berth therein. If Port-Harcourt wharf could be made accessible to ships despite its fourty-nautical-mile distance to the Atlantic Ocean, it justifiably stands to reason that Obeaku-Ndoki Wharf, which is only twenty-five nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean, could be more readily and profitably accessed by ships. Since Nigeria parades a galaxy of consultants in marine engineering, obtaining professional advice in this regards may not be far from reach."

FACTS ON GROUND BY Vincent Erondu
'Without Ikwerre the hinterland Igbos have many access to the sea. Port Harcourt came to prominence as from 1913 because of the development of the sea port and the Eastern Railway line. During the oil Rivers trade and the slave trade era Port Harcourt was not a factor in those trades. The trade route was through Azumini River through Ohambele via Opobo to Bonny (Ubani). At Bonny commodities were loaded and shipped overseas. Another route in fact the ealier route was through Cross River Aro chukwu to Calabar. Aboh, Onitsha and Ugwuta were also important sea routes to Atlantic ocean. Ikwerre is not wanted by the Igbo for any specific thing or need. The issue is matter of historical distortion and revisionism.

Talking about Port Harcourt, Igweocha is a common name for Port Harcourt, this name is a descripton of how the horrizon seems to be touching the ocean from a plain sea shore view. Its ancient name was odinaobu. We also have Igwenga. These names are spelt in various ways depending on the dialect of the writer.

They shld have burnt them by now!!!!

I am so surprised they are still alive.

Baawaa:
After confirmation and they are guilty,they should be sentenced to death
"Won jebi iku"

God bless you.

They should be dragged out and executed.

life2017:
US not recognizing a group as terrorist does not mean US support the group or will fight for the group over the country.
United State can be in complete support of a country with agreeing with them on classify a group terrorist.

Example is Turkey. Turkey is United State NATO ally. United state disagree with Turkey in classifying Gullen Movement terrorist.
Despite that, United State does not stop Turkey government crackdown on Gullen movement supporters.

A lot of Gullen Movement supporters have been sacked, imprisoned, killed by Turkey Govt with United State doing Nothing about it.

There are many problems in the world that requires United state attention. United State focus on selected few and ignore others.
IPOB and federal government issue is too insignificant for united state government direct involvement.

Oga where did we tell you that US is supporting IPOB?

We are only repeating the position of the US government that IPOB is not a terrorist organization to them, simple.

Why are you having seizures like an earthwarm sprayed with salt?

Good. So IPOB is a terrorist organization to Nigeria ONLY.

We are cool with that.

Una go die on top this matter o.

USA is the police/leader of the world today.

OP is a Yoruba man masquerading as Igbo.

How many times are we going to read this under different titles

The man the lead the 1966 coup was from the Midwest region aided by a Yoruba officer_ Ademulegun yet is called an Igbo coup.

When it is time to apportion blame the Midwest(now SS) suddenly become Igbo's but when it concerns crude oil they quickly remind us that they are SS.
