Why does this look like Biafrian kids during the civil war?

They will definitely look better than you if God could grant you the same circumstance. During the American civil war of 1863, the men, women and kids looked the same as Biafrans due to malnutrition. In most recent wars in the east Africa, Ethiopians and Somalis did not look different from servitude by hunger

The people of Imo State must be aware of the ills in accepting what is rightfully belonged to them as handout. 

manny4life:
Exactly but you have to look at things into certain consideration. Like I stated before, it's the sole responsibility of the state govt to provide the basic amenities, however, let's call spade a spade, we are not in the west. It's obvious that the state govt rather than pulling their resources together, they're interested in the national cake; development WILL NOT come that way. For instance, you mentioned REW (Road, Electric and Water).

Good point (amenities) like I talked about, in the part of the country where I stay stating with roads, the toll roads are built through a partnership contract with private firms, or solely govt owned. I can give you examples in my city if you wish where the govt has partnered with local corporations. Then again, I agree with the above you stated.

On the issue of Electricity, I use Dominion Electric Power (privately held company), that should tell you the rest. Then again, the company is bound by Virginia law NOT to decide who use it or NOT; since they operate in VA, it's an Equal Opportunity Electricity for all so is Pepco serving the District of Colombia. Dominion, don't just increase their bill, they follow procedures such as submitting a request before the state assembly, obviously they will approve it, and then they have a public hearing, it goes through a process before finally increasing just $0.03 per KwH.

Water, we know that this can either be provided by the county treatment facility or supplied by local company who have water treatment plants. The company transmits the water on behalf of the county. The treatment plants owned by the company get their payment directly from county or company bills customers directly.

In other words, I strongly believe that state govt can work harder to provide these amenities and if they cannot provide them, let the state govt allow firms to provide them but let the govt as well regulate them to make sure that companies are not deviating from their contracts. Then again, please correct me if I'm wrong or off course,

Bros, I enjoyed the well presented and articulated facts with such example as Dominion Electric Power or PEPCO. Sometimes we tend to forget who is actually at the other end of our deliberation. We are talking about Nigeria and certain states that recently sacked good workers because of the crap known as “state of origin”. Hell will freeze over before Nigeria could create conducive meeting points of Inter-State laws as found in USA.

Amambra State, with Nnewi in particular, has shown example what individual efforts could bring to the economy of a nation. However, both state and federal governments in Nigeria have dropped the ball in providing leads and encouragements. Many flaming lights have been blown off in Nigeria because of the endemic bigotry at the highest and lowest places in Nigeria. I am often amused when people think tribalism is a lesser evil than corruption in Nigeria. The alleged purchase of vehicles from China instead Innoson is a clear case that would have led to sacking of certain individuals in countries heading to the right direction.

There is no doubt in my mind that the ugly nature of tribal practices and its manifestation hence marginalization of certain section of the country was the amalgam of this thread. Nigerians lacked sincerity and would rather foolishly tow along the rudderless country such as Nigeria than embrace a practical change. Everything done in Nigeria has no essence of unity yet we naively pontificate about growth and greatness of the nation.

would the industries not create those amenities you mentioned since there worker would be there ?[/quote]It is not the function of privately owned industries to engage in constructions of roads and other social amenities in town or country. When such occasion happens, the private companies could decide who uses the roads and amenities or not. In order to remove any silly ambiguity of who or what owns the public passageway, the government of the people takes responsibility for providing such enabling factor to the economy.

In developed countries, governments will build a throughway and declare certain section along the road an industrial park

@POST

If Diezani Allison-Madueke and Christopher Aire were lifting only 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day, I should say emphatically Diezani Madueke was/is blatantly dozing off on duty and should be replaced immediately.

Also, if the so-called award on investigative journalism given to those named hack writers is based on the Diezani, Aire and crude oil episode, then the award is a deliberate show of idiocy.

The federal government has monopoly on ports (air and sea), interstate roads and somewhat electricity. It has colossally failed in such endeavors. In addition, federal and state governments are responsible for water resources and electricity both have failed too. Any attempt to engage in activities enabling economic vitality of the entire region without good REW-Road, Electricity and Water shall amount to practical joke.

When I look at the so-called Port Harcourt International airport, I feel the ugly nature of marginalization of certain section of the country from the center. It is even worst to perceive certain ethnicities from this section of the country had silly thought the neglect of the region was directed exclusively to their neighbor. I guess stupidity can not be cured.

When Harold Wilson said, through Gowon, keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be done”, he knew there was a sucker to be marooned.

Going by certain behaviors of few loudmouthed dumbasses on this forum, a person would never think kidnappers are Yoruba.

My brother, normally I would agree with you on the bolded words.
But our recent experience with Abia state has opened my eyes in a very big way. I now understand why Enugu International Airport has been a butt of politics from other Nigerians. Enugu did something similar in the past, and I am sure other Igbos are not as enthusiastic in supporting a resurgent Enugu. Meanwhile, I have to continue flying into Lagos or Abuja because of some silly Igbo people at home.
I was reading where they listed some possible new states, and I saw that some of my beloved towns in Anambra might be carved into some new state. I became alarmed because Enugu/Abia state stupidity can repeat there. Now tell me, what do you prefer first? Some extra state that undermine our group strenghth forcing us to eat humble pie at every turn, or a strong united group? For me, there isn't even a question about my choice. Let them take the states elsewhere. I want a strong Igbo that can attract international airport and other economically viable federal presence.

T A. Orji is a known marooned ingrate and had been declared political non grata in Igbo land. Actions such as sacking of non-indigenes in any state in Igbo land is sacrilegious act that must be resonated at the presence of the individuals that perpetrated such action throughout Igbo land.

I would have followed your line of political thought if Nigeria is an entity worthy of a second glance. We must reason beyond the dysfunctional state of Nigeria. If there is any political zone in the cesspit known as Nigeria with seven (7) states, there is no acceptable reason why southeastern zone should have five (5) states within the democratically setup Nigeria. Few of the so-called states in northern region of Nigeria constituted only one town yet it is a state to the jaundiced eyes of Nigerians.

•We’re working at increasing it -Fegge, Internal Revenue boss
From DESMOND MGBOH, Kano
Thursday, November 03, 2011



The Chairman of the Kano State Board of Internal Revenue, Alhaji Habu Mohammed Fegge is not one man to be envied, going by the huge challenges of revenue generation before the Kano State government. But in this interview session, the man who is saddled with the task of changing the face of revenue generation in the Kano State maintained that the board is equal to the task. He spoke to journalists in Kano State on the journey so far. Desmond Mgboh was there.


Sir, how has it been since you assumed office as the Chairman of the Revenue Board in the state?
Let me state that I took over with a lot of problems every where. For now, what I am trying to do is to do is to solve the problems that we inherited when we came in. We are trying to link up things and at the same time, we are trying to improve the level of revenue collection in the state. So, we are now embarking on an enumeration exercise, house -to- house enumeration. This enumeration will enable us to capture tax payers from the Direct Assessment, from Pay -As –You- Earn and from things like Withholding taxes among others.

The former consultants in the state, when their contracts were terminated, they left with all the information and the data base of the board. The data they extracted from here, all the information and the new once they built, they left away with them once their contract was terminated. They shut out all the system. So, what I am trying to do now is to build new information base from the scratch. All these time since I was appointed , all these time from June to date I have been trying to build a new set of records, bringing the lost glory of the board and the staff and at the same time trying to maintain a certain level of growth in terms of revenue collection, which I have been doing.

If you remember, the consultants were making N318 million, N340 million and a maximum of N400, but since I took over in June, it is a different game. The month I assumed office, I collected total revenue of N 622million. In July, I made N 705 million and in August, I made around N800 million and I think by this October , I am heading to One billion Naira or over a billion Naira. But I must tell you my target is not a billion Naira , but something very reasonable that can even be used to complement and cushion the salary challenges of the state government by the grace of God.

What are your challenges in the course of this collection?
I must put on record that we are running the most difficult job in the state. It has not been easy. I have 546 staff and 28 area offices. Yes. But I must say that Government is giving me all the necessary support. A hundred percent support from His Excellency. You see pumping money and equipment and vehicles is not going to help with out the personal support of the government. And I must tell you that Government has given one hundred and one hundred percent support to us. One interesting thing is that we are guided by laws and we are established by law.

The mode of collection is guided by laws and there are other laws that go with our activities. So, we as much as possible, go within the content of the provision of these legislations. That is why we are closing companies and we are closing banks. You will be surprised. Last week, we even brought out the file of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and we found out that the Central Bank had settled all its taxes. Had it been that it defaulted in any form, we would have closed down the Central Bank of Nigeria . I telling you this to show you the power of the law that we have behind us.

http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/nov/03/national-03-11-2011-005.html[/quote]In a recent report about Nigerian states in financial insolvency and posted on this forum, Kano State led the pack of states in financial disarray. The article concluded with a statement requesting for rearrangement of revenue-sharing formula.

In the aforementioned post, all the listed states were from northern region of Nigeria except Osun State. I responded by calling the story a deceitful and treacherous attempt to lure Nigerians into a doomed sleep so as to get most revenue to northern states in any measure to restructure revenue allocation.

The above post validated my suggestion that states in northern region of Nigeria were not in any form of financial distress. It is all about gimmick such as “educational disadvantage” tag when in fact most positions in Nigeria that required the leverage of education are held by folks from northern region.

so dont say wat u dont know

focus on your topic

I am not a dumbass such as you to be fed with unfounded falsehood by my parents. I was born and raised in the so-called riverine area of Igwe Ocha and there was no friction between Igbo and Ijo or Ogoni real or imagined before Nigeria/Biafra civil war. It is on record that group of Okirika people risked being shot by Nigerian vandals by smuggling foods and materials into Biafra.

Sons of current Bayelsa State were prominent personalities in Biafra. One was a commissioner for land and natural resources and the other was a brigade commander whose brigade was at the verge of recapturing Igwe Ocha as the war ended.

I suggest you live peacefully with the deeds of your family and remain haunted by the spirit of the innocent folks you and your father killed. Also, get your stinking mouth off the di.ck of Ndigbo.

Imagine tomorrow if Ihiala and Orumba from my own backyard in Nnewi are carved into "Etiti" or other states, suddenly my people working in that state will be asked to go back to Anambra state. Meanwhile current Anambra governor is not from that area and he has been developing that area with the hope that all Anambra would benefit.

I am against creation of extra states in Igboland.
We can survive without Nigeria handouts. Only lazy people wait for Abuja handouts!

Bro, do let the stupidity of T A. Orji becloud your well-informed social order. Democracy is a system that defiantly hinges on numbers and sense of equality and justice. Most of the so-called political zones have six or seven states while south-seat zone has only five. Based on the old fact that majority carries the day in the present political dispensation in Nigeria, it is absolutely necessary for south-eastern zone to produce the same number of senators as northwest zone that has seven states.

you do your research very well, wat u just listed are ikwerre as 1 tribe (ibo descendants), i am from rivers state, lived in rivers state most part of my life and u cant tell me wat i knw or wat u ve been assuming u knew. rivers state it made of so many tribes and d ibo desendants are parts of it but not majority, gosh u pple should read and assuming things.

Are you not this same dimwit that idiotically stated your Kalabari father joined Nigerian forces to prosecute a war against eastern region or Biafra? I guess idiocy is pathetically inherent with you since your father took up arms against the same very land that fed him. I never expected anything different from you but time is fast approaching for reality check.

@POST

UN and most Nigerians are inherently goofy. The thread is soundly unintelligent. Does poster mean Lagos to overtake Cairo as Africa’s most populous City or County or State or even Country in 2015? The status of Lagos has long changed from city to state. The juxtaposition of Lagos and Cairo with reference to estimated 2015 population is very infantile.

sheyguy:
From Nzeribe to civil war, The same civil war that was triggered by Nzeribes folk as a result of failed coup and declaration of Biafra. Dude, why not try to be bold and come out honest so we can move forward in nigeria.

As for the Nzeribe claims does he have any form of hard evidence against those he accused or he his just trying to attract attention and stare something up.

I have zero time for offspring belonging to the inhabitant of southern Nigeria who showed stark case of visionless by joining forces with northern region to create present and useless Nigeria yet had effrontery to cast aspersion on Nzeribe.

You are free to wallow in animalistic idiocy as your reference to Nzeribe and coup of January 1966 had suggested.

I am not surprised a dullard such as you were blinded to seventh (7th )  respondent who actually introduced the plank of Nigeria/Biafra war to the thread and 25th respondent who foolishly injected inconsequential June 12, 1993 election into discussion. Yet an undomesticated Osaka swine such as you were able to muster twisted thoughts to respond to 26th respondent.

Again, Nzeribe is not the problem of Nigeria but the haunting spirits of innocent Biafrans.

T8ksy:
Ol' boy, easeup on the personal attacks na! what's my parents got to do with this little public forum discourse? Not in the mood for that today but rest assurred you do not hold a monopoly in foul mouth. Am not trying to dispute the essence of carpetcrossing with you. All am simply asking for, is theElection results which led to this shameful carpetcrossing saga. Have you got it or not? Why are you focusing on the relevance of a culminating event when you have not even proved the existence of the event yet? Na wa, prof ! Your obfuscation skills are duly noted!

I did not create ambiguity when I wrote your mental stability begs for the concerns of your folks. You have been wittily free in calling names on this forum. It is not surprise to read your attempt to connect my reference about you being capable of denying your parents to derogatory form. It was a dry joke limited to your mental feebleness and it was not intended for your parents.

I suggest you drop any attempt of shameless “Yoruba blackmail and propaganda” when ranting with me. I know your folks are good at claiming anything about Nigeria including the amalgamation.

samuelorija218:
Those he (senator Nzeribe) reported to will not take Him serious because they all know themselve better than what we are made to believe.

Birds of a feather; flocks together!

History will not forget that He was an active player in the event which aftermath led to June 12, 1993 crises in Nigeria!

Above post is a typical example of moronic and classical idiocy that trails all Nigerians of ill-informed background. If you are so twisted out of human form simply because Nzeribe participated in innocuous polity to saw to the annulment of June 12, 1993 election, what would have become your silly self if Nzeribe had joined forces to precipitate war of attrition against you and Abiola whose forbearers did against Nzeribe’s folks causing death of millions during Nigeria/Biafra war.

Again, step out of your infantile stream of thought about June 12, 1993 because it was not a crisis but simply annulment of rigged election by one of the biggest crook Nigeria has ever produce in the person of MKO Abiola.

T8ksy:

Prof, here you are again asking someone else for veracity of their information and calling them all manner of derogatory names for not authenticating their information before spewing it on a public forum.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you have yet to respond to my request for authentication of the information which you Dede, have communicated repeatedly, here on this same public forum. Information, which was solely aim at tarnishing the image of an opposing major group in the country and did achieve its objective, too. You ibos have perpetuated and nourish this fallacious tales for so long that it has now been incorporated into our political lexicon. Yet this information has never been authenticated by you ibos. Just late last week, you were still parroting “carpet-crossing” but when asked for verification of the election result that allegedly culminated into this infamous carpet-crossing saga, you went into your robotic malfunctioning mode-kept regurgitating genesis of “carpet-crossing”, essence of “carpet-crossing” etc, but no verification forthcoming!

I believe all the denigrations in the statement accredited to you above equally applies to you, my dear prof. Is that what you see every morning when you look in your mirror? Erm, could it be you have been afflicted with a high dosage of self-hate? Seek help, prof!

I am beginning to wonder the level of your mental stability. You simply can not be only Nigerian who seemed oblivious to the tribally induced carpet-crossing on the floor western regional house of assembly after 1951 polls. For the sake of intellectual honesty, I urge you to conspicuously clarify your stand on the issue of carpet-crossing in western region. Are you insinuating there was no act of carpet-crossing in the western regional house of assembly after 1951 regional election?

I know you are a slimy and conniving weasel who would rather turn actual fact onto its head. Anyway, pathological liars such as you would sometimes tend to deny their parents at a given situation. I am not even surprised you attempted to dispute the essence of carpet-crossing in western regional house assembly because of the noticeable traits of uncontrollable loudmouth and silly perpetration of falsehood in you.

Even in 1994 on Zik’s ninetieth birthday ceremony, late A.M. A Akinloye apologized to Zik on behalf his fellow carpet-crossers.

I guess you might be a better loudmouth and, of course, human being than the son of a dirty bi.tch named bk.babe97y. Do not slide into this same dirty-gutter path with miserable clod such as bk.babe97y who will be cut down soon in his or her attempt to snatch an old lady’s bag full of paper clips.

If there is no food to sustain life, there is no growth. I still wonder how growth shall evolve when there is no factor of sustainability. In USA, where people have their social order in right positions, every project starts and ends with “how is the project going to be supported?” I am talking about a country, not a geographical expression, which has every capability to manufacture all the parts including nuts and bolts needed for the project.

muyoto:
Nzeribe of the infamous ABN that sought the prolongation of IBB's despotic rule and the annulment of June 12 is what Dede describes as ''one of a kind in the political arena in Nigeria''

pity.

The differences in interest among political operatives are what make politics fun. I guess we must agree to disagree, smile.

How can you say Nigeria cant produce anything? When last did you pick a call from Nigeria? Be honest!

There are world class companies building mega structures right here in Nigeria. For government not be supporting due to bad governance and corruption is another thing all together.

Do your research about what companies are producing in Nigeria. We are talking about local guys mounting on projects worth billions of dollars.

Do you know that , several Nigerians that started as local guys are expertriates in various countries? Bruv! We are not in 1966!

Without commitment no single progress. If truely Nigerian government is committed then, we can build all its war ship here with ease.

I know we have to outsource or import some part but, the chunk of the project shall be done by local guys. I have met tons and tons of guys with perfect CAD knowledge and i have trained loads and loads of them.

But reality of technological progression as seen from the real life makes Nigeria’s case a juvenile folklore.

There is no doubt Nigeria and required institutions in it do not have an educated base for R&. I appreciate the fact you teach kids in Nigeria the basic aspect of Computer-aided Design or Computer-aided Design and Drafting but such endeavor is a lost effort when there are no rudimentary sources of means and materials.

Please when we talk about the wealth of nation via industrial knowledge, the issue does not center on what software or computer program or assembled goods and services the country can import such as in case of Nigeria. It is centered on the process from the field to finished goods sometimes without assistance from a foreign country.

In your usual infantile rant from the previous post, you rambled about how your goofy firm and Nigeria erected or erecting a phantom underwater superstructure never equaled in the annals of technological fit yet from the rubber cloves and steels were imported from China. I am insinuating if there is any such nonsense termed underwater structure by Nigeria outside drilling companies and expatriate firms.

Nigeria co-owns crude oil producing wells but functioanl refineries. Talk about refinery, it takes steel and iron to build such structure. Even if it takes woods, Nigeria does not have Sawmill. There was a time Nigeria produced tons of raw rubber from Para rubber trees for tire industries in Nigeria. Today, all the tire industries have closed down. I am not asking Nigeria to leap into advance technological sphere, I simply ask Nigeria to advance and modernize the production "bows and arrows" for game hunting.

@OP

When did your bosom become a sight of death? What is wrong in sighting a bosom, woman or man? The world is turning into something trivially idiotic that seeing a bosom or a woman breast-feeding a baby is now sacrilegious.

Sometime I am amazed at the level of intellectual laziness Nigerians exhibit. Arthur Nzeribe has not held a ministerial or gubernatorial or presidential post in Nigeria. In fact, he has never led any Nigerian parastatal unit yet ill-informed dimwits cast aspersion on his personality because of his stance in Nigeria politics.

The only visible association Arthur Nzeribe had with the government of Nigeria was as a senator from Imo State. I must add that during his term as a senator, his name was not associated with rampant embezzlement of public funds that made rounds at the national assembly. Hate or like Arthur Nzeribe, he is one of a kind in the political arena in Nigeria. He does not give a ratarse about what numskulls think about him.
