A single anti igbo policy can wipe out in a few days all the gains that Nnewi has made since the end of the Civil War.

If igbos give heed to my saying then government policies will not affect their business.

Part of the problem I had with obasanjo regime was his closing igbo businesses and seizing their assets, this can be mitigated when igbos have core businesses in igbo land and leave the peripheral businesses in Abuja and Lagos and port Harcourt

Do you know that the Nnewis industrialization activity is helping to insulate and strengthen the SE economy

Pls watch the documentary

The Men Who Built America

mapet:
Now this is some of the weirdest thinking I have ever seen. Please explain how you can "Insulate" eastern economy from Nigeria's policies. The eastern economy is at the bottom pedestal on the based on some recent analysis. Majority of Easterners are transacting business outside the east, Natural resources from the east contribute near zilch to the national treasury........

You are very funny

Have you not seen Rich and Poor Regions within the same country

benuejosh:
I bet to disagree with that striked out line. And you sounding like you pained about something @ bolder

Pain over TIV


Guy quit joking

So funny


Newspaper report



Why not National Population Census report

benuejosh:
msugh! Upandeve is evening. Well I guess the tivs are more than the ijaws. Even in political sphere the tiv are in more positions than the Ijaws however that is not my basis or justification. Let's talk of populations and lands occupied. We have in benue,kwara,taraba,nasarrawa and they also make up majorities in this states. though minorities in some states in nigeria. And on records even. Now if we decide to go on positions occupied since independence, the Tivs have been on the helm of affairs in the country even before the ijaws. As it is currently the Tiv still own much positions than the ijaws.

Define the words Population Density


US Russia Canada Brazil are bigger than China in land size but vice versa in population


Gwaris are found in more states than Igbos Ibibios Binis but we have more population than them


Think well like one who saw the 4 walls of an elementary school.

benuejosh:
check the records.

Which record

Please provide link

oluks05:
If they are APC loyalist then what is the "disgrace"? Buhari is the president-elect on APC platform! Frankly I think is the media that exaggerates this visits for the reasons we all know. I can bet Buhari gets visits from all sections of this country day in day out but the media just tend to more concerned with the groups they feel wld grab the headlines!

Godfullsam:

sebali:
Its an Igbo culture to be Shameless. Thats Y Ohaneze speaks from both sides of their mouth.

phlemzy:
Igbo chose to be fooled. Nigerians enmass chose not to be fooled for another 4years,hence their refusal to give him their mandate.

eazisky:
Now, who are the back stabbers? he failed u yet u all voted him for 2nd term

SkyBlue1:
And you still supported him and gave him your lump vote, are you not a contradiction? Slowly, the myopia of bigotry is beginning to clear from the eyes to allow some people to see . . . When he was still fully in power he was the best thing since sliced bread and now he is a disappointment. This cowardly culture of sycophancy needs to stop, we need to learn how to be brave and tell our leaders the truth instead of this 'any where belle face' politics. It is called integrity.

raumdeuter:
No be today dem don dey deceive Ibos

Zoharariel:
The stiff-necked jewish people of Nigeria that will never learn to admit to the truth

Remarkable:
how can the same Ohaneze that said Igbo politicans begging Buhari for posts are a disgrace now complaining to Buhari
it seems a certain group of Igbo politicans and I agree with you its the APC loyalists that want to keep on disgracing Ndigbo by such useless lies.

focus7:
One of the problem with the Igbos is that their voices are never one, while some go about identifying with new government to be install, we read yesterday of one of the leader berating those asking or begging Buhari for appointment for Igbos.

benuejosh:
while the three major tribes keep hating each other. Mine remains the best. PROUDLY TIV fourth largest tribe in Nigeria

How did you arrive at this.?

kettykings:
How really can he marginalised igbos, by denying them fair share of projects or killing their businesses.

If igbos can form a think thank that can insulate the eastern economy from Nigeria policies apart from that I don't see much buhari can do to the igbos.

Igbos should warm up for the worst and prepare for the best just in case.

We don't need a think tank to insulate the Eastern economy from Nigeria policies


All we need to do is to encourage those parts of Igboland who are not industrial conscious to start thinking as industrialists just like the Nnewis

If every Igbo community strive towards industrialization like the Nnewis, we will build a technological Biafra within the Nigerian State


So my dear the steps you and I should take are


1) Educate our people towards industrialization

2) Encourage Micro financing that has low interest and long term(7yrs) loans

3) Community infrastructural projects


4 ) You and other people can add more

To be sincere, GEJ should have done this a long time ago.



GEJ to tell you the truth


YOU FU CK UP

tit:
nobody want to buy ebonyi and edo.
why?

Akwa Ibom go soon buy them.

bjbbt:
pls what is true federalism? and fiscal federalism?

True federalism is encompassing in other words, the States/LGAs determine how their social financial political economic religious etc lives flows


Fiscal federalism is specifically financial/economic.

Jorussia:
so if you declare fiscal federalism today,d mineral resources will start yielding revenue that will b enough to sustain these states?

Yesoooooooo


A journey of a thousand mile begins with a step.

Whynotthetruth:
You mean FG and all other state's debt put together... Mind you, APC tops the list of debtors...
I keep saying it here that Anambra template as instituted by Peter Obi and sustained now by Obiano shows how a sincere government can run the state leaving behind great infrastructure projects, development, increased salaries etc without a single debt even in the midst of so-called scarcity or reduced allocation; while less developed states with more allocation than them are wallowing in debts with nothing on ground to show for it except lies and propaganda...

Gbam

True talk

atlwireles:
That's their problem, we are waiting for May 29.

And a very big problem

PassingShot:
You're not making any point. Are you suggesting that there is no division of labour without fiscal federalism?

What's your point pls?

My point is


Empower the LG and States to be the vanguard of development through fiscal federalism

atlwireles:
Calling for fiscal federalism is against everything APC and the incoming government represents. That's not going to happen, their leadership is preparing to run a collect and share "allocation process". 2.3million barrels of crude oil is all they know. Anybody expecting anything different is wasting their time.

May God help them if militancy returns

Rawani:
No doubt, I agree. Nigeria however in its current state is not sustainable practicing FF. Putting the cart in the correct order entails complete diversification of the economy is first pursued and attained with a sustainable framework for exploitation of each regions resources such that there will be no necessity for the "special fund" the OP recommended for struggling states, and there will be healthy economic competition among regions.

The fastest way to

diversify the economy

strengthen the economy

Etc

is through Fiscal Federalism

Whynotthetruth:
I am for good governance not blackmail like you do mostly here hence I pointed out your hypocrisy to you...Rochas of Imo state, Aregbesola of osun state etc has messed up the state treasuries notwithstanding Rochas huge allocation while aregbesola gets a modest allocation as compared to states in their cadre like Anambra which isn't an oil producing state yet but doing far better than these APC states with no single debt and is even increasing salary of its workforce by 15% more in the midst of so-called scarcity...

When these APC states mess up, instead of the masses holding them accountable as grassroot government, they shift the blame to FG to hide their lack of leadership and sincerity to electorates...To me, What reason has Rivers state to borrow and even owe workers Lagos state has no reason borrowing as much as it is doing now with nothing to show for it eg $1Billion loan for light rail whose delivery date was July 2013. Till now, there's nothing to show for it and the loan is there to be repaired...But APC and its minions can't see such...they only see Jonathan...ndonu

Perfect

God bless you

Jorussia:
What are the mineral resources in d se that is currently being adequately annexed,apart from IMO and Abia with some amount of crude oil?

Sorry to inform you.

There is no state that is not rich in mineral resources.


Please goggle the resources of each state

Rawani:
What do you think was the problem with the NDDC & co? The name or the characters within? Until the SS stops to glorify thugs, militants, bunkerers and looters like Tompolo, Orubebe,,Dokubo etc. as regional leaders, the looting, impunity and mismanagement that has plagued and ruined these interventionist agencies will still manifest in whatever fiscal structure you desire.

Be sincere for once


If Awolowo had rule Western Nigeria on the present fiscal system , do you think he would have achieve anything .


True federalism is better

socialmediaman:
And the Niger Deltans will get back to square one where the process started. Where leaders will embezzle most of the money and tell you the money is not enough because other states are sharing it with you. You guys should insist on good governance for once. These governors are too corrupt to effect any development in their states even with 100% derivation

Why didn't Awolowo embezzle the cocoa wealth of Western Nigeria

It is better the blame goes to the son of the soil than it goes to an outsider

Do you know why.?


Because the indigenes will start a revolution against their thieving sons

PassingShot:
See the other path below:

Do you know why your ideal is wrong.?


Development , Success , Victory etc are achieve easily when division of labour is encouraged than when one person, arm of government etc handle progress alone.

Jorussia:
I support fiscal federalism, but what about our south eastern brothers?

Explain more


How does Fiscal Federalism affects SE negatively.

barcanista:
The Amnesty program will not be necessary if the government implement FF. In fact, with FF, ND Ministry and NDDC should be scrapped along with the "Amnesty".

Perfect


Once true federalism is implemented, amnesty Nddc etc should waka go

PassingShot:
Nah! It's not and can never be the ONLY way out.

OK

Tell us another path

Aminat508:
Mama peace shame dey catch her or what

For wetin

We go see the English wey GMB wife go speak.

Barcanista


The only way out is


TRUE FEDERALISM
