Bia, take time o, don't even provoke me further. Stop misleading people. Mention any HOA member that doesn't have a car good enough to attract respect. Must it be 2016 Prado, did you know how much each of these cars cost? Should that be his priority as a governor?

You talk of him asking ebonyans to come home, to where exactly? has he prepared any place or done anything so far to assure them that if they come they'll be protected?

Aren't you stupid to think that he is right to buy such expensive cars for people that can take care of themselves. Didn't you hear of what Ayade did in cross river? Buying over 20 coaster buses to subsidize transportation.

Haven't you heard of the increased tax rate imposed on house owners and transport companies? Does he has to place a yoke upon the poor for the rich to benefit from? Is that what governance should be?

We're coming for him, we'll remind him why we voted him if he has forgotten.

Mercysam23:
I'm starting with Afikpo. I'm in a project to rally 2000 women to protest for high transportation cost fueled by increased tax on transport companies in ebonyi. No light in Afikpo too. Very annoying to see light in Ai to Abomege and Ohaozara to amasiri yet Afikpo will be cut off.

There are several areas that has been affected by flood even the very road that leads to the senators house is in deplorable condition. Yet nobody is doing or saying anything. We're beginning to consolidate our various groups. On Saturday we will be meeting maria. Then kick off the noise. Enough is enough.

comrChris:
as in eh anytime I see a writeup like that I feel sorry for the persons ignorance or rather lack of sense...nl has indeed turned into a child play,a place where people fantastically showcase their ignorance, imagine people like op did not care to know the reasons/ conditions behind the giving of those cars and now he has come to nl to show his foolishness and his types here are pitying or consoling him lol what a deluded set of people

op those cars are not free,the money will be deducted from their allowances for the period of 3 years they have to stay in office and beside ebonyi is not the first to do this,as a matter of fact its legally right for fg n state govts to provide cars for their legislators which to the best of my knowledge has also been done at the federal level earlier this year..umahi is one of the best working governors among this set of governors

jokwa dinwa Bros, its as if we are from the same place Ehugbo( Afikpo North)?

sharonbaron:
You made reference to the budget but you failed to understand that there is hardly a time where budgets are 100 per cent implemented the highest you can see is 60 per cent implementation you can as well ask the house of assembly to probe him for failing to implement the whole budget. The problem with Most of you is that instead of criticising evil you finding ways to support it.
Tell me how this so called biafra will come to reality when we can't call our present leaders to order.

CyerSeries:
what are you talking about? I'm from Ebonyi state and since I heard the news yesterday, I was so shocked that I don't even know what to say.. Why is the ediot wasting our money buying expensive SUV for legislators that does virtually nothing? Why didn't he buy one of these Toyota sedan cars that is cheaper? What happened to Inosson? With 5m each, innoson can make a very nice official car for them.. I support the OP, the governor goofed on this one.. So all the tax the masses are paying through their is just for them to live a luxury life? We will mobilize and send a strong message to them starting from the legislators.. Anyone seen driving that SUV should be dealt by the masses.. Nonsense

Wisdomkosi:
listen , am not here to exchange words with you am here to lecture you with facts. Now, why can't the governor patronize innoson? Why can't the governor go for cheaper cars? Don't lie that this house members don't have car each, Nigeria polictians that I know very well like luxury lifestyle and buying cars to showoff with be problem to them. Now listen again, so that next you won't rant on social media like nairaland, I didn't say 75%,i said 95 percent of hawkers are ebonyians if you doubt me, enter road and inquire from them. Mr man, listen again what provisions have the governor made before making the announcement? So they should come back to Ebonyi state and start watching Telemundo? You say am not from Ebonyi state, I laugh in swahili because I don't rant Like you Mr man.

sharonbaron:
Young man i don't think you understand the op's grouse. No one is against the governor buying cars for the lawmakers but why will he spend 15 million for a car when he can buy cheaper vehicles.
This is a state that recieves the second lowest allocation from the federation account.

Wisdomkosi:
After going through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3213384/umahi-presents-2016-prado-suvs where the governor of my state donated 2016 Prado suv which cost 15 million Naira each I wept bitterly because I know the poor condition of my state. I am from ebonyi state and am not a shame to tell people my state of origin. I am writing this article with tears in my eyes because even our South East brothers consider or see ebonyians as fools because of ebonyians don't go to school. People like me who are willing to go to school can't because no money but the governor prefer giving out 2016 suv to house members that already have many cars. Please my governor, what happens if you use that money which you used to acquire 2016 prado suvs for scholarship? I went to Lagos of a recent to pay my uncle a visit, believe me I discovered that 97% of the people hawking on the street are ebonyians. Why can't you Mr governor use this medium that street hawking has been banned in Lagos to call those ebonyians back home and relocate them to the newly built international markets which is now a den of criminal activities in the state please?

It is a slap in our face that we ebonyians can't assess loan to even farm which we are good at my governor. I still won't forget a day an ebonyi guy met me and discovered that am from ebonyi in Lagos, he asked me to follow him and start doing Street hawking that I will make it. I told him, I can't because am here for a visit and even if I want to follow him my uncle won't let me hawk even though I need money seriously for my school which am still struggling to enter because no money. What's the fate of that guy now that street hawking has been banned in Lagos? Why can't you from that money and give loans to farmers in ebonyi, give scholarship to those willing to further their education, call those ebonyi hawking in different streets of every Nigeria state home and give them that international market to make use and pay a little money to the state government? I am not a politician and I will never put my hand into politic. I am in my 20s but I weep bitterly for this state because there are many talents wasting in this great state. I am writing this article to you my able Governor, Enginer David nweze umahi like a son to a father because am just 20 years old. Ebonyians in diaspora hawking, let's come back home and make a ebonyi a great state. Nothing good comes easy but I believe we will get there one day.

Mrpoker:
Once the state is safe and he stabilize the power generation then inventor will come and job opportunities will be created.
Area I think will attract investor include the Nkalagu cement company, the Amasiri and ezzamgbo quarry, the uburu and okposi salt lake and host of others.

I also read there oil deposit in Ebonyi(though not huge) I think the federal government should also beam it searchlight there just like they are doing in lake Chad basin.

scholes0:
OK I will go with your definition 1 just for the sake of that.
Because Abakaliki can only be a metropolis to Ebonyi people.

Stupedinluv:
Why do corrupt people think everyone is or must be like them?
The onus lies on pdpoos to prove she is what they say she is.
Give us evidence that she is guilty of corruption like you or shut your sagged mouths.

HungerBAD:
Akpabio finally has seen the light.

Gradually the numbers of Senators needed to throw Saraki out is increasing.

In Politics,there are no permanent friends or enemies,just permanent interest. Akpabio should do the needful,by bringing in some of those in the PDP ,so that the numbers can be added up for the impeachment of Saraki.

Nice one there Akpabio.

dinachi:
How could a "brave" man who was returning fire have bullet wounds at the back? It is more likely he was running away to save his life when he was cut down. He is not a hero, he was just a victim,sadly. RIP to him!

AdaNri1:
Lucky boy, if he were an Akwa ibom boy who will see him, Seems like the only way to get the attention of this government is to be norther that has been abused. All the children abused (including the one abandoned by his parents for being a witch) the First Lady did not even acknowledge. Nobody should quote me to say anything ignorantly.

The First Lady should champion the cause of ALL vulnerable children not just a select few.

Kasimaramma2:
I know this post would provoke many Nls but i dont care.
When i was younger i dated a guy for three months he left me for my friend because i was not perfect and quiet immature. For two years the sore remained.
It was an inception of a new ideology ;that people who claim they are in love Stick with you when the grasses are in green and when they have something to gain.
I decided to follow that thread,date only wealthy guys. Yes, i was rejected because i had no perfection so i decided to use the same standard used on me by the guy who broke my heart on other fellows.
God understands my past pain so he is no furious with me for sapping guys financially and dumping them. My reason? I was hurt so i have to hurt.

agarawu23:
the past govt is from your soil so u will definitely defend him.

The past govt stole all our foreign reserves.
the money the past govt stole where all in dollars and you expect the present govt to shitt dollar for u so u can buy 200#/$ abi?

We are still suffering from the mess the past govt put us tru.

Olisah me-thief the once vocal pdp attack dog now pleading and singing like a bird after his attempt to eat paper evidences got him no where. May God strengthen buhari to fight this corrupt people. Am sure Nnamdi kanu must be thinking of begging buhari too when it is obvious the igbos have abandoned him and his useless biafra. God punish biafra, God bless Nigeria
