Why are you just being mischievous? Those are federal government roads and before anything is done on them it has to pass through a lot of protocol and its messed up by dirty politics. If you are sincere you will know the government don't like the eastern region. Same mindset you have towards the east will be exhibited if someone like you get's to power. It amazes me we all shout one Nigeria but no love. If you love your neighbors, you will ensure that the federal government do the right things.

You are the one with the wrong mindset. Federal govt don't like east but this same federal govt has completed the highest number of projects in the south east till date.


You have an agenda that is fueled with bias and hate. That's your problem. It's also the problem of most igbos

Theunbothered:
This is why we need to prioritise education, so people don't come on Nairaland to embarrass themselves because they don't know the difference between state and federal.

Imagine expecting the state government to use the state budget to fix a federal road which is under the federal budget.

That what Lagos and rivers did. And they collected the money back from the fgn.

Ok even aside that, are your state roads anything to write home about

No State is poor in mineral resources in Nigeria, they should get to work and use it to bring income to their States. Time of hand outs are over,

Oh so u now agree that FGN is giving handouts rather that collecting Mind u 65% of VAT is generated by federal govt.

Also when u say get to work on mineral resources, hope u know that all mines and minerals in nigeria belongs to federal govt

Bigwig02:
Not just Igbo's but the entire Southern State... Benin - Warri was hell yesterday which I believe many motorist will be stock even till now on that road... Its has gotten to the time that all region's need to speak out...

Speak out to whom What does your state govt use their budget for Na only federal body una de get mouth. Smh

onumadu:
Anybody asking the Igbo to pray for Nigeria has a unique mental problem.

You didn't pray that why your roads are like this

I've never seen people that claim to be wise but yet curse the same grounds they walk, feed and live from! Smh

ogwumgbe:
Lagos State generated 49 billion and got 15 billion, If they use that 49 billion in their state, it will improve the lots of the masses, what we the masses need from you is infrastructure, we have been surviving without your help, so let the states collect Vats and build good road network, constant electricity, adequate water supply, we will be willing to pay for it period

Why are u only referring to Lagos Everybody knows Lagos is the only state that can survive on its own. What of delta, osun, Oyo, Kwara, etc Should the people living there perish? What vat did these states generate, abi it's only Lagos on the map of nigeria.

Im just looking at the ignorant folks clapping hand for rivers judgement. In few months time same people will cry blood. If your dear Lagos decide to increase VAT to 20% u will still be the ones crying to FGN.

When we told u pdp is a useless party una de make noise

From Fred Itua, Abuja

A new report has claimed that Igbo people in South East and some Nigerian tribes, share a common ancestry that is traceable to the lost tribes of Israel.

These discoveries are contained in a 738-page book titled “The Hebrew Evidence of Nigerian Jews: A Scriptural Insight” which is set for a public presentation.

The book is authored by a televangelist, Innocent Agu. The book describes Igbo language as one of the prehistoric languages, as it is the same as the Paleo-Hebrew, the original Hebrew language of the Bible.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja at the weekend, ahead of the launch of the book, Agu said it unravels the age-long mystery surrounding Igbo people and some other Nigerian tribes.

He said the research findings point to the fact that several indigenous Nigerian ethnic groups share a common ancestry that is traceable to the lost tribes of Israel and Edom/Iduma – the country of Esau called Edo and Idoma in Nigeria.

According to him, “The twelve lost tribes of Israel have been discovered in Nigeria. The tribes include those from Northern Israel that were captured by the King of Assyria in 722 BC and the dispersal tribes of Southern Kingdom after the invasion and conquest by the Roman soldiers in 70 AD led by Vaspasian in the Jewish-Roman war.

“The book unravels the age-long mystery surrounding Igbo people and some other Nigerian tribes.

“The research also revealed that the Paleo-Hebrew in which the Old Testament Bible was originally written is the same as Igbo language, both in words and dictionary meanings.”

Speaking further, he said over one thousand different Hebrew words, phrases, and sentences are recorded in the book to attest to this fact.

“The work recorded about a thousand ancient Nigerian towns from across Nigeria that corresponds to the same ancient Israeli/Idumean towns recorded in the Bible. Interestingly, while most of the listed towns are located in the Southern and Middle Belt of Nigeria, a considerable number is also found in northern Nigeria,” he added.

The author further identified many ethnic groups in Africa that are connected to the nation of Israel. He posited that the original people of the nation of Israel were black.

While tracing the origin of Igbo people of South East Nigeria, the author used linguistic and anthropological evidence.

He asserted that the name Igbo is derived from Eber the great-grandson of Shem and whose entire race is called Ebeo, Ebo, Ibo, or Igbo.


According to the chairman of the book launch committee, Dr. Sam Agbogun, the book is endorsed by several scholars and traditional rulers.

He said the findings in the book will surely open a new vista in the historical traditions of most Nigerian ethnic groups.

He said the book specifically solves the puzzle that has heralded the Igbo’s origin, tradition, and cultural practices.

Lol

ogwumgbe:
Well it will encourage industrialization, anything that will make the governors to stop being lazy and sit up is welcome. If Beer in Lagos will cost higher prize in Anambra, then Anambra should produce their own beer and boycott Lagos beer, that's development and creating more jobs.

You are mistaking production for collection of vat. State govts don't manufacture anything, they will just focus on increasing tax to make more money. The governor's don't drink ur local beers anyways. It's still the citizens that will suffer, businesses will close. And fgn will not be able to help u.

Modrovdeux:
And at the end of the day, many of you would pay higher for some of your favorite consumer products due to....higher VAT in some states, plus double vat collection (VAT being collected on goods sold in Lagos for distribution in Enugu..where another VAT would be collected)



Plus, it does not solve the issue of low level of taxation by state and federal governments.

Modified

Many companies have their HQ in Lagos. VAT would, under a state by state process, be higher automatically in Lagos, since many companies pay VAT on their profits, which are reported in Lag. Then the products they produce...will attract VAT in each and every state where they are sold.

At the end of the day...higher taxes in form of higher prices.

Don't bother. Many Nigerians aren't rational. In their mind, it's a tribal issue i.e north vs south

Cownu the criminal

SenecaTheYonger:
AbokiFx probably salty because his fellow aboki's were banned from selling forex. Just a little taste of all the suppression the government has been showing other tribes my guy wan tumble Nigeria.

Now you see what Igbo's go through daily and we're still forced to stay in Nigeria with all the oppression from every government.

Ffk is a typical example of naija politician. He is just doing in public what most of them do in secret

OChimex:
For you to say proudly that the best candidate for the South is Tinibu shows that nigeria has a long way to go because the youths are so stupid to make a better decision.

With what this present old analogue sick uneducated man is doing to Nigeria is not enough to reset una brain say you need educated, digital, vibrant healthy young man as a leader.

Sorry do you have PVC?

oluwaahmed:
Lol. I am really sorry for and pitying yoruba APC politicians.
E go shock una so bad, many of you will die of stroke.
GEJ will be consensus candidate for APC come 2023. You know what means for SW abi? If you don't know let me tell you. GEJ will do 4 years and hand it back to hausa. Hausa will do 8 years and hand it to igbo(the igbo politicians are currently paying their dues to APC with their numerous decampimg and with GEJ coming out as president in 2023, all SS & SE states will be fully APC) . SE will do 8 years and hand it back to Huasa. Hausa will then do 8 years b4 giving it to yoruba. So it will actually take SW 20 years b4 power gets to them.
What you yorubas don't realise is that by betraying GEJ you united the SS/SE. Forget ipob shenanigans the north knows if igbos want to leave Nigeria they would have left but the igbos have invested in Nigeria so much that biafra will be a mental thing than an actual reality. I have stayed in the North for years and I can tell you that Northerners trust igbos more than yorubas. You will see it this 2023.

Lol you sound so pained

Felimax:
Your pemutation is possible but not devisable. I am enjoying the card PDP is playing, in no distant time more party members will go to APC and trust me the party structure will crack. PDP should just remain focus.
Truth is Nigerians are sick and tired of APC and they need more clowns to saturate the party. My utmost hope is that the rest of the country can have APC if they so desire but not SOUTH SOUTH. So be it GOD!

Calm down. APC will determine the next President
