Three South-east states are now oil producing States, and Igbo tribes doesn't end in SOUTH-EAST, they still have largest gas deposits

Igbos have more stake in oil and gas especially gas than your ethnic group.

Even in the south south where I come,their communities have the highest of onshore production.

Also remember imo ,abia and Anambra are now nndc .
Soon Enugu will join the list

ASAPFERG1:
anambra i know is a shithole

Please which state are you from ?
One thing I admire folks from Anambra is that you see them posting pictures and videos of their states ...out of the state capital city. In remote local communities and those places will look like estates in state capitals in other zones .

ASAPFERG1:
i have been to anambra not once or twice

Aside former and current capitals Lagos and Abuja... Anambra is actually one of the most urbanized States in Nigeria.
Even in remote local communities, you will still find decent economic Living.

ThatFairGuy1:
This OP is fun of comparing his underdeveloped Anambra State with every other States in everything.

Yet Anambra State still remain a shit-hole

This level of insecurity of yours is indescribable

You lied here bro.
Anambra,The state and people isn't shithole

Unless you have not been there .

Even I'm not an Igbo guy but saying the truth won't take anything away from me.
Compared to what the region has been through and FG attention, they're seriously thriving

post=122239454:
These are states producing oil in commercial quantities, check their 13% derivation and debt

I didn't see Lagos, thought they said Lagos produces 40,000 bpd ?

OreMI22:
Exactly the same thing is happening in the music industry. They are frantically frustrating Hi-Life genre of music and now call fuji "afrobeat" ;

My only problem is WHY Southeastern producers cannot borrow a leaf from their northern Kannywood counterparts and just totally do their own thing independently? Northern movies continued their own thing until they finally polished themselves and even made it into Netflix!

Why must southeastern producers attach to someone else to feel complete? ? ? ? ? ? Is it a sort of complex or lack of self-confidence in their own ability?

You raised salient points.

The stakeholders from southeast made a mistake by not consolidating the movie industry in the region.
Places like Onitsha,Asaba and Enugu were/are movie hubs by now they should be modern film villages and world class studios set up in those areas...even movie awards ceremony should be created and hosted in the region.

Igbo guys have the capacity to do it because nollywood is like their hand bag.

The leadership of the region have neglected the industry too.

EMERGING FILM INDUSTRY IN ANAMBRA STATE






https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lstCxT2svrc

I'm disgusted and ashamed by this reportage from the presenter.

How can she call Anambra an unknown hub for movies?
This is a quite unfortunate.

Back in 2000s ,most nollywood movies watched here in Cameroon were mostly from Onitsha .
You can't decide movies in WestAfrican sub region without a city like Onitsha.

I think there's an implicit agenda to hide treasures of Igbo region to the outside world.

I made some research and I found what I expected

thebosstrevor1:
i am not from the southwest, stop labeling everyone that does not agree with you, south westerner

btw most south west industries are in Ogun state and Lagos.

innoson is just one of the few car assemblers we have in Nigeria

there is Nord Automobiles Limited with its factory in lagos
Kia Motors Nigeria assembly plants is in lagos
GAC auto assembly plant in Ogba, Lagos, Nigeria
Scoa Nigeria Plc assembly plant is in Isolo,Oshodi, lagos

funny enough innoson target market is in lagos too.

You're a funny guy.

Innoson is exporting cars to Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia , Mozambique and you're talking about Lagos.

That's one thing I admire the Igbo people.
They've seen beyond Nigeria economic space... while most people like you think Lagos is everything.

Supreme monkey of biafra ti lule pii, naming ceremony gets crowd pass this nonsense.... Mind you, Jagaban is the next president, he will rule over you and your kindred

BAT is a local champion whom his candidacy in built on Yoruba consciousness and interest.

APC no get level for akwa ibom and Cross river...... knowno this and know peace

post=117597513:
Where are those attacking Anambra Airport can you compare this to Anambra International Airport

Wow Anambra is quite underrated.

This facility is amazing...looks like terminal where international airlines connect several flight.


I love the steel and glass they used.

AdakaBoro8:
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is a Nigerian who fought on the opposition camp against Nigeria during the civil war.
It is safe to say he started the civil war with his declaration of a biafra as a
federation.

What many people don't know is that before this civil war, there was another, that was short lived. As a matter of fact, it lasted for only 12 days. This was led by Major Isaac Boro Adaka.

Major Isaac Boro Adaka popularly called Boro, was born on the 10th of September, 1938. He is the son of a missionary school head.

So Boro had a formal education up to the university level. As a matter of fact he was the SUG president (number one student) of the university of Nigeria Nsuka as at then.

Isaac Boro was from the oil rich land of olobiri, in present day Bayelsa. Then, those areas were all under what is called the 'eastern region', which was then headed by the military governor 1954.. Guess who the millitary governor was? Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu. Yes our very own Ojukwu.


the capital of the eastern region was in Enugu state. Despite the fact that the Ijaw region produces the oil, they were sidelined by the Aguiyi Ironsi military led administration, Irrespective of the fact that Adaka Boro niger delta region laid the Golden egg, dim Ojukwu didn't mind or consider them.
This caused major Isaac Boro to abandon his studies in his finals, to lead an arm protest against the government of Aguiyi Ironsi, over the poor treatment melted out to his people...

before this, Ijaw elder, Dapper Biriye had moved a motion to carved the niger delta or Rivers state out of the Igbo dominated eastern region just as the Yorubas carved out the other niger deltas from their western region to have their midwest, but the Igbos rejected it...

When all political peaceful movements by Dapper Biriye went abortive, the declaration of the niger delta Republic became the only means...

Adaka Boro see the only way to freed Ijaw from the eastern region was to leave nigeria entirely, so he declared the niger delta Republic on february 29 1966,
This republic lasted only 12days because aguiyi ironsi and ojukwu ordered the whole Nigeria military strength on them...

Aguiyi ironsi the military president of nigeria and Ojukwu the military governor of eastern region killed 150 Ijaw youths and arrested Adaka Boro and sentenced him to death by hanging..

two brothers, of ironsi and Ojukwu won the short war for nigeria...unknowing to ojukwu he will also declared republic..

Boro was in prison waiting for his death, but
God heard the cry of Ijaws as counter coup from North killed aguiyi ironsi and brought Yakubu Gown to power, released Adaka Boro from prison... not did Gowon released Adaka Boro, he also created the Rivers state out of the Eastern region for Adaka Boro and his people... This was a dream come true for Adaka Boro..

Later the Igbos massacred in The north and the creation of the old River state out of the eastern region by Yakubu Gowon made ojukwu and his people got angry, because they felt, the oil rich Oloibiri was no longer part of their eastern region again.....

The frustrated ojukwu got angry at Gowon for breaching the aburi accord, by creating the oil Rich Rivers state out of his eastern region, so ojukwu without blink of eyes declared the Republic of biafra and forcefully included the already created Adaka Boro's Rivers state...

This criminal act from ojukwu made Boro got angry, so with help from Gowon, Boro trained his 1,000 Rivers soldiers of Ijaw extraction and fought the biafran forces.
Boro and his 1,000 Rivers men got lot of success in the war as they killed thousands of biafran forces and evicted all biafrans out of the River state...

10 months into fight Adaka Boro already got lot of success. he recaptured all territories captured by the conquest biafran forces in River state.... but the mighy hero was killed on a mysterious circumstances at Okrika...

No one know who killed the hero, opinion were divided as some said it was a lone biafra soldier who shot him from hideout, while others said it was adekunle Benjamin the nigeria military leader who ambushed him for jealous of his success in the war...

Who really killed the hero?

Adaka Boro was not just hero but a prophet because he saw today nigeria which everyone refused to see...

Adaka Boro was not just hero and prophet but also a saviour..

Adaka Boro will forever lives in our heart.

He freed us from biafra and the demonic eastern region.

Adaka Boro will forever be remembered in history.

For the clarification of History;
Ijawland were not the biggest oil producing areas in 1960s.
Aside Oloibiri, I doubt if there was a another ijaw producing oil field especially in eastern Nigeria.

Most ijaw oil fields were discovered after the 1970s .

Secondly bro, I don't think it is healthy for a contemporary ijaw man in 2022 to blame igbos for the tragedy and predicament of Noble ijaw Nation.

The northern oligarchy and their Yoruba allies cornered ijaw natural resources.

This is the truth every ijaw man must come to terms with.
Igbos are not people who environmentally degraded ijaw land.
Igbos were not the people who deindustrialized ijaw blue economy to favor Lagos.

Igbos were not the people who sabotaged ijaw seaports to favor Lagos.

Just look at NNPC today, its now Northern Nigeria petroleum company... yet you blame igbos?
A refinery was sighted in kaduna not in any ijaw coastal town yet you blame igbos.

NNPC refinery in warri looks like an estate in Sokoto, filled with Fulani folks yet you blame igbos?
Should we discuss how northerners military dictators shared oil blocs to their cronies in North and Southwest....

If boro was alive today I'm sure he would not be happy how the North and Southwest he supported in 1967 are treating ijaws in Nigeria.

Bro, igbos are trying for themselves.
Igbos are the people who have been championing opening ports in South South,where my state and ijaws can benefit from.

Remember that Igbo have their own oil especially natural gas.
It's no more a secret that they hold Nigeria's biggest gas reserve

It's time ijaws face their own enemies who are giving them crumbs me. And we know who they are and they're not igbos

post=116733350:
10,000 capacity

OMG!!!!

This is like the biggest in West Africa and one of Africa's biggest.

I believe Anambra State will put it to best use

post=116731441:
More from ICC Awka
Lalasticlala
Mynd44

Wow!!!

I never Anambra has a massive structure like this
What's the capacity?
This is definitely biggest in Nigeria,

Wow I'm impressed.
This is bigger than my home state Calabar ICC and bigger than Abuja ICC ....and likely to be bigger than Eko center

eternallyfocus:
you are a criminal that ibos are known for.....you are using 1 term yardstick for Lagos 2003 - 2007,and you are using a yardstick of 2 term for ananbra 2007 - 2014
Mean while Lagos under bat was from 1999-2007.....you are a shame to ibo... South west people....we are the most educated in Nigeria so you can't easily do this nonsense analysis and get a cheap score.....foolish ibo
person

It's obvious that you are living in the past.

The South South where I come from has topped Southwest in education not to mention of South East.

Wake up and smell the coffee, your association with the core North has lowered you to their level.

Chikeluba25:
Yes

Wow quite impressive

Chikeluba25:
Anambra International Airport which is not up to One year seems to be the busiest in the entire region being the only airport in Southeast that works 24/7 day and night.

The runway light which makes it possible for flights to land @night place the airport on advantage.

The runway is equipped with CAT 2 lighting system. This implies that a plane can be guided by the light to land safely even in adverse weather conditions.

The arrival and installation of the Avio-bridge ordered by the former governor "Willie Obiano" will further make the airport outstanding.

Is this a night flight to the airport?

Chikeluba25:
No doubt Anambra International Airport is the busiest in the entire region being the only airport in Southeast that works 24/7 day and night.

The runway light which makes it possible for flights to land @night place the airport on advantage.

The runway is equipped with CAT 2 lighting system. This implies that a plane can be guided by the light to land safely even in adverse weather conditions.

Wow,
Is this a night flight??

thundafire:
it will stall the Yorubas are strategically having everything to themselves. The dangote refinery was supposed to be built in Delta state but the useless greed of the people made him go to Lagos just imagine dey revenue of Lagos will increase again

As some from SS.

I have lived in Lagos and Ph.

Believe me, the yoruba elite class are smart.

They are diplomatic and that's ibos are pouring investment in Lagos.


Meanwhile states like Bayelsa and rivers see ibos as there problem.

Imagine the rift with woke and Ibos.

No Lagos governor would do that.
Only akwa ibom has potential of providing that coastal alternative for ibos looking at long term relationships between Igbos and ibibio-annangs

Difrent:
Your father is a dunce that gave birth to an slowpoke like you through a harlot. Idiot.
When your mates are going to school you dey play tyre. Why not call an airport a riverport too since it has port in its name . Foolish goat

Stop misinforming the public.

The propaganda against ibos is coming to the end


The attached picture is a river port... Bigger than any seaport in nigeria

Amojii:
Do Anambra have sea?

Anambra has a channel to the ocean.

Just like Germany, Switzerland and Austria

georgeakins:
There's no way South East can be developed like other regions.

You will recall that during the era of regional government in the 1960s, South East was the most backward in Economy. It was the reason Ezeogwu planned the Ibo coup of Jan1966, to execute the leaders from other region.

Ibos should also.embrace people from other tribes to live among them, otherwise that place will remain backward till the second coming of Christ. How come it's only Ibos that live in Iboland? Too bad!

There are no develop regions in nigeria, stop deceiving yourself. Nigeria suffers heavy infrastructure deficit.

As for in 1960s, it is on record that eastern Nigeria had the fastest growing economy -in world in 1964.

thundafire:
Nigeria don't want to diversify so that other regions will help put over reliance on Lagos. Nigeria leaders are useless Calabar seaport not working, PORTHARCOURT not working to capacity so that the crowd in Lagos will be thoroughly decongested

Don't blame nigeria on this.
The governors of coastal states in South South lack business acumen.

A state like rivers should have gone into partnership states in SE (where most international traders come from) for strategic planning and partnership.

Bayelsa or Delta with anambra
While rivers state of talks with aba.

I'm hopeful about the ibom deep seaport,
Promoters of the project are looking to bring in Stakeholders in
Aba

Sammy07:
They can only have a river port maybe in Anambra, Kogi, Benue, Niger etc.

Buh to dredge it
It'll affect the flow of water etc.

If Niger county should dredge there's, it'll affect the flow of water to Nigeria, and might even affect the power generation in niger state.

There river port out there that handles more good than seaports in Nigeria.


Actually, the lower Niger area upto lokoja needs dredging to help flooding.

The Niger has been dredged before

guru90:
Why Lagos again..... What of my own state sea port Anambra.

I think dredging is holding onitsha port

But barges can be explored

Difrent:
Theres a huge difference. I never said the seaport is useless....i only ponited out you cant build a seaport on a river....all these your explanations is useless

You're sounding redundant.

There is nothing unique about seaport and river.
A port terminal is a port

DuBLINGreenb:
Anambra has no access to the sea and as such can NEVER have a SEA port.
Name the sea that is in Anambra?

Are you sure you are from Nigeria?

Even Niger state has access to the ocean.

Unless of Baro isn't Niger state anymore

Difrent:
There can never be a SEAPORT in anambra....the best they can have is a RIVERPORT

Is there really any different?

Going by your analogy Germany, Austria, Switzerland have no seaports but river port.


Has this ever hindered their international trade? Hell no
River ports in Rhine River, Elbe handle more volume of goods than any seaport in nigeria

Sammy07:
Lol



It's nearly impossible to tamper with river Niger and Benue. No be only Nigeria dey use am




It's not a federal government project oga

But the Niger River has been dredged before.
During colonial, in the 1950s.

Northern Nigeria considered the channel as its only access to the ocean.

There's a paper on it

First to comment.

Btw Goodluck to him

aribisala0:
Oyigbo is Ogoniland it is not in the SE

Afam is not in the SE stop lying

This shows you don't know the places you are talking about.

lightskinnigga:
Only well travelled and intelligent people know this

From the high storey buildings.
Itsc somewhere in Igbo Land
That's one place with such build up.


I bet my money on Onitsha.

obynzo:
You are not making any point here. You tried to play mischief in using Ironsi and Ben Nwabueze for 66 now you saw that it didn't work so you are shifting to 99 like as if Ben Nwabueze single handedly wrote the consitution without input from others.

Blame Abdulsalami abubakar for 1999 constitution


While you hold OBJ for 1979

Abacha constitution conference didn't see the light of the day.

These are constitution history under military regime

Ironsi and Gowon have no business with constitution in nigeria.
