When are the powers that be going to realize that the currently highly centralized police force has failed?

While we are it, isn’t it also time we realized that the current restrictions on firearms in this country only helps perpetuate the tyranny of both the uniformed thugs and outlaws?

As it stands, criminals get the weapons, while law abiding citizens are left with only prayers. Since, it’s now apparent that the state has failed in yet another area of monopoly, isn’t it time for some needed privatization? Isn’t time to allow an armed citizenry?

Igbos should help you promote mudslime religion in the SE?

It’s like your brain is “paining” you from too much head slamming.

Apeeshit is The Devil’s Own Party.

John 8:44 New International Version (NIV)

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Good move by the Chinese. Wish we can do the same here.

By the time it took him to pen this convoluted pile of horse manure, the nomadic wing of Mumuharri’s Apeeshit would have wiped out another village in Mr Ameh’s home state.

What's up with our rising debt though. As bad as T. A Orji was, he kept Abia debt manageable, now under Ikpeazu, it's shooting through the roof, yet civil servants are owed in the state and no good roads still .
Obi left Obiano no debt, now Obiano is stockpiling debt like no tomorrow. What sort of reckless governance is this?
And no one should tell me the borrowing is justified, as we all know that Obiano has in no way outdone Obi in infrastructural and all round development of Anambra.
This is too bad.
For all the stick we are giving Rochas, he had managed to keep Imo debt profile manageable, where as Ikpeazu and Obiano are accumulating debt.

That's the conumdrum. The states are not designed to actually work in any reasonable way. Additionally, most states inherited very a large (mostly unproductive) legacy workforce. On the other hand, it's politically suicidal to just sack most of the workers, on the other, paying wages with almost all the FAAC allocation leaves little for any of the showy projects ignorant voters call development. Governors are left with little choice but to borrow so they can be said to be "performing".

Recall that Peter Obi was not universally popular with his fiscally prodent approach.

This is exactly what I was thinking this afternoon. We have been talking for too long. Posting pictures and fine- fine houses here will not solve anything on ground. When do we start acting?

When we had the Ipob crises, Ohaneze set up some Igboland Development group.

Who knows what has become of it?
Do they have even a website?

I think a lot of normally intelligent people are taking an alarmingly casual attitude to the unfolding disaster called Nigeria.

The population is due to double again with the next 30 years. Apart from the fact that most our inland oil fields are depleting very quickly, oil is fast losing its global primacy as an energy source. You only need to imagine the effects of this on government revenue.

I don’t even want to talk about the fact that the current regime is borrowing like there is no tomorrow and spending all the money on daft politically motivated projects.

Climate change and associated desertification are having an increasingly calamitous effect on food production as well as an increase in strife not just in the NC but increasingly down south. Frankly, I expect massive population movements southwards. The fact that upwards of 90% of the population in some of these places are involved in agriculture should give any rational observer food for thought.

The day of reckoning is very, very near. I was thinking of these things today and I got very, very scared. You don’t need to be a soothsayer to know who the likely scapegoats will be as things get even more desperate in the country.

We need to build a proper economy in our homeland. We need to look at our peers in places like SE Asia. We should copy, borrow and if necessary steal ideas, technologies and markets from these people.

We need a healthy, educated populace. We need infrastructure. Our very survival as a people is at stake. Mere shaming people to invest backhome isn’t going to work. We need a world class business environment.

The issue is very urgent and cannot wait.

Trump is Captain Obvious.

Brain dead Mumuharri is lifeless, next thing he will tell us that water is wet.

Second base, jawe.

Rochas2023:
This is why atleast half of Igbo's need to support APC

We don’t have enough efulefus to give Apeeshit half of our support. Roaches, Tinubu-kwe and their co-travellers are not nearly enough to give them those numbers.

Apeeshit should try and go without us.

horsepower101:


Guy I know this might be unpopular opinion but you are right. They are beginning to change to more pro igbo but honestly a lot more needs to be done.

Since they're chameleons, when they finish changing to Igbo, they should let us know. Right now they're Bini and a random FB post isn't going to change it. Fool me once.

I hate this talk of building bridges and uniting. How were the Ikwere treated differently from any other Igbo tribe prior to the war? We haven't needed them for the past 50 years and we survived, I don't think we are going to start needing them now especially when thay don't bring much to the table. We should allow them settle issues with their Ijaw brothers and mind our own business.

Hmmm... can we also say Enugu/ph road is 59 out of the 69. It seems enugu/ph is no longer the one long express it used to be.

For lie mohammed to mention one road over 6 times, believe the other 63 at your own peril..

oga shut if you dont know the meaning of development please shut up.thanks

You should tell that drunk that pretends he’s your father to “shut up”.

If he had spent more time on your upbringing rather than staggering from one joint to another begging for free ogogoro, you would have learnt not to insult people for no reason.

If he hadn’t stolen all your mither’s asewo earnings, you would have had some education and known how to defend your arguments and not resort to daft insults.

Anu mpam.

Anything we put our minds to can be accomplished with determination.

We can have a battle force of 550, 000 personnel on control.

We can also care for them financially becos we wont be spending on second hand and outdated arms and looting of military budget like Nigeria.

Our mode of operations will be smart warfare and invincibility.

It will be over before u know wat happened.

You’re replying a monitoring spirit that thinks that running from one Igbo “trend” to another will enable it escape the massive thunder that Kamalu Ozuzu has been grooming since he was conceived by “accidental discharge”.

Kokolet11:
He should go and understudy peter obi?really?he should and understudy obi that left Awka to die?he go and understudy obi that left awka,onitsha and nnewi shopping malls to die and go to Abuja and river state to build his own shopping mall?oga go and get your sense where you drop it.

.


Oga,

Did he build the malls with state government funds or as a private business man?

How are malls are a priority for a state government? What percentage of citizens actually shop in these malls?

Governments don’t have unlimited resources, they have competing demands and have to choose programs that improve the welfare of the highest number of citizens. Prestige projects like the ones you seem to love are just crowd pleasers sand do little to improve the important things.

Kokolet11:
spyder are you the one saying this?see i am not from Ebonyi state but i can tell you that gov umahi has done more than anyother gov in south east,i hope you saw his 3 flyovers?please can you compare that to other govs?or can you compare his roads to other govs?what about the grass tunnel flyover his constructing? the same gov is building a shopping mall in Ebonyi state?or should i talk about abakaliki rice please note is not a paper rice but real rice.and umahi is about to start the 4th flyover in Abakaliki.what about the new govt house is building or you have not seen it or hear about it?and dont forget that he pays workers on 15th to 20th of every month and many other projects is doing for the last three years.umahi is the best in south east,my only problem with him and other are issue of biafria.

Oga,

If you look at HDI statistics from Ebonyi you would realize that 200 “fly unders” is simply misplaced priorities and playing to the freaking gallery. I will always prefer a governor that gets his priorities right. He should go and understudy Peter Obi.

Develpeast:


I stated this as early as 2015 when I saw the need to move on without Nigeria's federal government allocation and the meagre IGR we generate. Igboland needs solid infrastructures and system that will catapult us to the next 50years within the next 10 years. Without doing these we will keep managing the situation and not gaining anything from this country.

For igboland to develop, it is going to be all-hands-on-deck kind of development. Leaving the development for the government officials who think about the short term and not the long term will always make us go back to square one after every eight years. We need to create a body whose sole intention is to develop infrastructures and systems that will build the different sectors of the economy in Nigeria. Since the body wont be looking at the next election, they will be more focused in achieving their aims rather than gaining so much money from the system.

Our minds are faster than our actions. We need to unify behind one party. Let igboland be synonymous to APGA and we the youths and younger generations, infiltrate their ranks and make our own the people leading us. Let us forget federal politics and focus on the local things we can achieve.

Thanks. This has always been my exact thoughts. The key challenge will be how to go about this objective. The financial architecture shouldn’t be too difficult but getting people who combine integrity with wide acceptance will be key.

While I support your APGA idea, I think that waiting until all the 5 states are under one political umbrella before starting will only encourage opportunities for sabotage. I think a grassroots anchored approach might be better. The old Igbo Union made outstanding use of town unions.

Handsomegod:
I don't even know where to start addressing this mess you vomited up there. You implicated yourself all through. You stated that the North's exclusive long hold on power did not and have not helped them as they are being ravaged by poverty and turned around to blame Igbos who held appointments in the past for not developing Igboland. What da Bleep are you blabbing about Oga? You wasted a whole space yapping without even addressing the very cause of Nigerian crisis which is the structure. Sad to say. Again,the discussions here so far was never centred on blaming anyone for Igbo woes but strictly on optimising our human and material resources. And sir,there is systemic marginalisation of Igbos in Nigeria. It is not only shrouded in the extant laws but also a matter of covert federal policy.We still manage to overcome these odds nevertheless. Your infantile rants and denial of this obvious fact that even the so called northerners you appeal to have acknowledged clearly gave your rants away as another smoky noise. Do you want me to start giving you federal projects cited in other regions without an equivalent in Igboland? Let's start with the recent Railway masterplan which saw Igboland completely exempted. What about the recent concessions of selected international airports in the country with Akanu ibiam Airport exempted too? Infact Akanu Ibiam Airport was not even gazetted as an international airport for starters and oga,Mr alanlyser,it does not strike you as odd and premeditated? Attention should also be given to your silly analysis of Lagos! Have never heard or seen such blank ignorance and misfiring analysis on rampage! Please note: Lagos is Federal government and Federal government is Lagos! All the governors have been doing are window dressing. To even consider Lagos developed by any stretch of indices showed some of you really need to travel out and see what development truly is. Kualar Lumpur,New Delhi,Mumbai,Seoul,Karachi etc are all contemporaries of Lagos but your so called centre of excellence can't even hold a torch for those other cities today on any index of advancement bar none! For you to even compare the dynamics of Lagos to any other state,much less South Eastern states further gave you away. Please stick to the spirit of this thread(not trend.take note).

Thanks. Very apt.

Abagworo:


Welcome brother. Aniocha and Oshimili are our confirmed brothers on the West both by looks and deeds and we have photos of Asaba on this thread. The non-Igbo brothers are Ndokwa and Ika whom I personally don't welcome in Igbo affairs. I respect their choice of self denial.

See Ikwerre man dey decide who be Igbo. I done suffer!

Meanwhile, you will come and claim Oguta tomorrow. What’s the difference between the Oguta dialect and Ukwuani?

I hate to disappoint Patrick Lumumba but if Africa has to depend on Nigeria to realize her greatness then the continent is indeed doomed.

For the good of the unfortunate denizens trapped in this colonial prison camp, the synthetic contraption masquerading as a nation has to fail and ultimately dissolve.

Too many lives have been lost in the forlorn hope that this country will one day turn the corner. It’s time to give up this pipe dream and face the stark reality. This country was never designed to work as a nation. It was only cobbled together as a vehicle for exploitation and theft. When we say the leaders are thieves, they’re only using the country for its original purpose.

On my own part I am hoping that Mumuharri wins the election next year so that he can continue the stellar job he is doing (destroying this shytehole) because it’s apparent that the colomental people in this country won’t go their separate ways if they’re not forced by hard circumstances to do so.

By the time Mumuharri finishes with this 2019 elections, there will be no money to even fuel the presidential limousines.

Collateral free loans, huge minimum wage, massive election budget. Na war oh!

Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.
