A high-wired plot to obstruct the actualisation of the Ibaka Deep Seaport project within the deep waters of Akwa Ibom State, by some highly placed persons working in tandem with some officials of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has been uncovered...

He said it would be counter-productive to the ongoing Transformation Agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan and a great disservice to both the South-South and West Africa’s hope for economic renaissance.

The Eastern bloc should have grand master plan on how to have
steady power supply with little federal input and also support the deep sea port in ibom even if the fg do not sponsor it financially

Yujin:
I'm in to this discourse. This has always being my dream. If we come together we can achieve much and give our children a homeland to be proud of. Though proud to be Igbo I'm not an ethnic supremacist. Barcanista and Truckpusher take note.

psalmizt:
Dear Barcanista,

I love this thread and as one who believes in the unity of Nigeria there's need for the regions to be evenly matched. Your quote on being strategic and avoiding violence is so so apt. The SS and SE are a united block that must look to draw closer.

psalmizt:
The biggest worries of the SSner is the dominance of the SEners. Unless people find a way to take that threat away the dream unification will not work.

psalmizt:
That said, we must all remain one indivisible nation under God.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

kevinberry:
@ barcanista so far I don't see anything wrong I the decisions and journey you guys are about to embark on....

But one thing I will like to point out is that...the fact that EDO STATE is grouped among the SOUTH SOUTH states does not mean they will support this your course....

Am from DELTA, itshekiri to be precise I don't know anything about DELTA on this matter..

But one thing am sure of is that of EDO STATE

My mum is from edo state.....

The yoruba's are the BINIS greatest,loyal and most trusted allies...and they will support any motion or decisions the yoruba's make....

If this should be put to a vote in which only the original people of EDO STATE can only participate in....majority or if not all will vote against your motive

Gracias

...i see nothing wrong if the aforementioned choose to merge but only with the aim of developing their respective region SS and SE...

This is the part of your comment that appeals to me, which I believe is the core reason for this thread, not what every other dissenting voice has mentioned.

I refuse to see this thread as an aftermath of the outcome of the elections.

Some of us responding on this thread have not grasped the full understanding behind this thread...

This is about coming together to DEVELOP not to become an opposition!!! [A house (or country) divided against itself will perish].

To demand accountability from the in-coming elected representatives of the respective States in this Eastern bloc.
Do we allow them to continue with their chop-and-go as usual?
Nigerians are WISER now! (Aren't we...?)
We have to start the "fight" internally by demanding the best from the government in this bloc.
Some out-going state guvnors wasted 8 years of our development by their greed, funds washing down into their pockets and accounts; nothing to show to our children tomorrow.
Zero - poor infrastructure;
Zero - poor education;
Zero - poor Healthcare;
Name it...!

Now a question to everyone that has posted a comment on this thread either in favour or against:

So what will you and I do about it?
What will we do about our respective zones?
We go siddon look...?

This is our WATCH!

Guy, Girl; Lad, Lady; Man, Woman; Boy, Girl; WHAT is your own role in making this Eastern bloc better?

Instead of throwing up yabbis or unfounded insinuations and conspiracy theories, why not pick one area you contribute in, bring in your suggestions to make the Eastern bloc a GREAT PLACE to be!

Perhaps, the older generation have failed us, perhaps we can still salvage things...!

I see a time in the near future when I will be proud returning home to the Eastern bloc, with everything working well, because we all made efforts to make sure our govt are held accountable and that they utilize the funds to create a developed Eastern bloc for me and my great great grand children.

For me, I am still ready to join in...
WHAT ABOUT YOU...

proudlyhandsome:
You are not smart at all. The SS people are not part of any arrangements with SE period.

Jonathan is from SS and having lost election to the Northerners in collaboration Western region, it is natural for the bigots among them to feel offended.

Igbos voted for Jonathan out of self hatred and bigotry.

SS voted for PDP out of massive rigging and not cos they love Igbos but cos they want to make a statement

Truckpusher:
First step is to take email addresses,screen them, contact them to create mini units in different cities for a start ,then we can start scheduling meetings in different cities to stabilize and know our membership strength and individual follower-ship and after we can schedule for our first general meeting.

This might take up to 6 months to 8 months .

No agenda would be discussed online but we will encourage members to have an online interaction forum (we will also create interaction groups in the social media) where people can discuss ideas and admittance into such forums would be strictly controlled to an extent.

These things won't happen overnight without efforts and different forms of sacrifices.

But we must start from somewhere and we need to start it NOW.

Truckpusher:
They can't do jack



Well, we are going to be contacting people, we would be careful and whoever wants to try anything funny can bring it along - I will be waiting.

Ezemust:
did the Igalas and tivs abandon theirs too?or are they not part of the north too?

atlwireles:
Truckpusher be careful who you PM on this forum. 99% of people seeking your PM here are up to no good. People should be free to meet in person, in their different states, as the agenda of tomorrow gets off the ground. The task ahead is not online.

django1:
This is redundant. Both south east and south south are already politically united as evident in the last general elections, what else do you want?

double0seven:
Very funny;

.....the PDP that rigged the elections and almost rigged out Buhari now complaining of being the one rigged out. Please let them go. it will just be a waste of time, because the elections in those states they are complaining about were free and fair. The results were going all over the social media as they were being concluded in individual polling booths.

Much unlike what happened in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Delta. Nobody saw the beginning, the middle; all we saw was the end.
