First thing first.

Ipobs and NL gej booty lickers are saying, abusing and accusing the FG of neglecting them in favor of Lagos state by not giving them infrastructure a viable international airport, but the same GEJ who did everything in his power to deny the SE the 2nd Niger Bridge even after vowing the send himself into exile if he didn't build that bridge, the same gej who for 5 years did not do anything tangible for the people of SE is now a performer for developing the SW, for building infrastructures and airport in Lagos/SW.

So, you hate the FG for not giving you airport and marginalizing you economically, but love gej who represented the same FG that awarded the contract for the airport in Lagos state and not in your village?

See una life

You ipobs and mental confusion go hand in hand.


Make me too join help una celebrate GEJ sha for doing this in Lagos and for the people of the SW instead of your impoverished village.

citizenY:
Talking about ports, shippers/ importers determine where their cargo goes, carriers schedule vessels at agreed freight rates. Freight rates are charged based on distance,fuel consumption, port charges and risk factors, among others . Using Lagos ports could be attributed to inducement by way of volumes and availability of appropriate facilities. Security of vessel , cargo and crew determines scheduling. I honestly do not see revenue flight from Lagos for the foreseeable future and in any case this federal revenue .

IAs an aside, taking into consideration the foregoing, I have my reservations on any cargo movements on the Niger.

This thread , through mischief, is supposed to spur states lagging in IGR capture to sit up, for the overall good. Being wat we are, we have turned it into a kangaroo court.

1. FG neglect and lack of attention is not limited to any state or region in Nigeria including Lagos

2. Many states with sensible and capable governors saw this anomaly and pulled up their sleeves to find meaningful solutions to their economic problems and challenges like doing economic summits for investments, building their own roads, bridges, airports and even seaports.

3. The SE has a different problem that no man can fix because this is a region where they've been thought to always point fingers, never do anything to better, always blame people outside their region for their misfortunes and incompetent governors and elected leaders all the way to the national level.

4. The SE has a FG dependency problem, they think and believe the FG is their only way to economic salvation and not the governors they pay to look out for them, they don't even talk about their governors or act as if they have governors, but they know everything about governors in other states, they even know more about Osun state than their own state and governors.

5. How do you justify siting around and pointing fingers that the FG is killing you economically because they did not build airport for you when other states are building or have built their own airports with their own money without the FG?

6. They want us to believe that they are the best in everything and they own everything from Lagos to Abuja, but poorer states are building their own everything and getting better IGR, but you the so called most industrious can not do anything, can not even join money together to build a common regional airport.

7. The problem in the SE is not only a credible and competent leadership problem, they have a can't do anything and a systemic, societal, cultural and communal problem, it's a society with leaders with no vision or foresight, leaders who are not proactive or able to formulate any great ideas to better their people, but they all do agree that the FG is their problem and only FG can solve their economic problem when in fact this is not true and the fact that poorer states without seaports or airports are doing better economically clearly shows that they are proffering solutions to their economic challenges so why can't the almighty SE do the same instead of a sick and weird co-dependency problem with the FG.

let's see how long it will stand

Procter and Gamble is the world's largest manufacturer of consumer products, a major multi-national and fortune 500 company.

Their first manufacturing plant in Nigeria is in Ibadan/SW and it's still standing.


Bad wish and bad bele is bad for your health.

kenex4ever:
those regions are not having very big igr like lagos n Ogun.

...but larger than yours by far.

Theirs is as a result of large population and tax from many small business.

Makes no difference, still larger than yours and many of them built their own airports without FG help while you are still siting their crying and begging for FG handouts.

I am only telling d way things are and you know it.

You, you are not. All you are doing is making excuses and justifying incompetence and dereliction of duty by your governors.

Lunatics in Nigerian prisons are as follows; South South – 79; North East – 20; North Central – 44; South West – 121; North West – 45; and South East – 363; making a total of 672

This is seriously Odikwa risky risky o...

kenex4ever:
stop taking it tribal.
Ogun state is enjoying from lagos spill over, many companies are buying land in ogun simply because lagos is filled.

Also, i will say south west are blessed to be located at d entrance to nigeria and by d sea. Many developments from d outside world starts from lagos and ogun because of easy access and exit.

I know many oil companies dat prefer to locate their head quater in lagos instead of d south south where Dey operate due to ease of transport.

So the IGR is not about SW being d best or whatever but because virtually all oil companies and all major companies headquarters are in lagos and also d entire country is well represented in lagos.

Ogun in d next 20years may have dsame IGR with lagos due to spillage from lag.

What about the regions in the North with higher IGR, zero ports, no oil and not anywhere close to entry into Nigeria?

You people are full of silly and bogus excuses.

QUESTION::


Lagos as Nigeria's industrial capital and what it is today didn't happen by accident.

The industrial estates responsible for Nigeria's industrial and service output in Lagos state today were in the western region, built by the government of the western region led Awolowo, not by the FG.

Lagos as an industrial state was made possible by Awolowo for having foresight and vision to create industrial estates from Ikeja industrial to Apapa, Matori, Mushin, Ilupeju and Oluyole industrial estates in the western region

The question the ipobs in SE are not asking themselves remains why their leaders, specifically ZIK as the premiere of the Eastern region during regional administration when Awolowo was also the premier of the western region did and why he did not create industrial estates in the SE under his control.


The western region and specifically Awolow was responsible industrial Lagos, not the FG.

AwiLand:
And the state do not have share...You are the big illiterate here.
The ports Yoruba have used their wicked and evil politics to kill..... everybody knows what is happening in this country, very soon all will be history

Do you know what determines where people ship to.? Market forces, return on investments, large consumer market and disposable income and if such elements exists in other parts of the country like your village where your own people don't even want to stay or do business in., Lagos ports wont even exist.


The government can not force or determining these factors, but business environment does.

Now, if you are sure and determined to have your own ports and have your business people do business in your villages instead of Lagos or the SW, then build your own ports and have your people move back to your villages to patronize them.

Now, on the logical and intelligent front.


Nearly all the investments entering Nigeria ends up in the SW from Lagos to Ogun and Oyo states based on certain key factors.

1. Access to market and raw materials

2. Access to large consumer base and buying power

3. Safety, security and protection of investments

4. Welcoming and conducive environment

5. Local infrastructure.


All the above factors exists in the SW and not in other parts of Nigeria so even with ports in the SE, they won't change the economic dynamics in the SE.

The SE is so mentally crippled and unable to do anything to change and turn things around simply because they have a FG dependent mentality, a situation where the society ignore their local leaders and elected officials who are not doing anything for them and focus largely on the FG as the alpha, omega and ultimate savior when in fact it should be the other way around.

While other states and governors are busy taking their hopes and future into their own hands by building their own infrastructures like airports, the so called powerful, smartest, richest and the most industrious SE can not do anything, they need the FG to brush their teeth for them, tie heir shoes for them and even spoon feed them.

The FG can not create any economic situation for you, your own governors have to formulate their own economic policies and strategies like other states have done or are doing.


Thinking and behaving like kids and invalids that must be carried like babies, spoon fed and babysit like problem and special needs children by the FG.


Ports are the least of your worries because you have other serious, social and communal factors to deal with.

They want biafra village, but their IGR can not even buy guguru and ekpa..


What a travesty

Bridget95:
from Awolowo who died of rat poison to Adisa who knelt before Abacha begging for his life to all of una sucking Awusa balls for a piece of cake are all cowards.

[/s]



ipobs and their ignorant and unintelligent rants bore me.



Btw, the only cowards are your mouth only internet trolls and of course the biggest coward known to man, Ojukwu your uncle aka war deserter who ran off the battlefield like a pansy sissy in pink braid dressed like a woman to ivory coast and returned to Nigeria to beg and do bambiala for pension money from the same Nigerian government he fought and slaughtered millions of your people for.


When the word coward comes to your mind, think about yourself and your coward forefathers from zik to ojukwu.

LionDeLeo:
So this one has been running his mouth since the late 90s?

Who is he even trying to impress? Ipobs?

Bridget95:
RDEM SWEAR FOR UNA WITH COWARDICE? WHY CAN'T YOU COUNTER THE NORTHER INSTEAD OF SPEWING DUST AS USUAL

Look at this ipob joker. I counter facts, not fact-less rubbish and ignorant opinion.

In fact, you people spew the same ignorant rubbish that you own everything under the sun so what's the difference.

Btw, the only cowards are your mouth only internet trolls and of course the biggest coward known to man, Ojukwu your uncle aka war deserter who ran off the battlefield like a pansy sissy in pink braid dressed like a woman to ivory coast and returned to Nigeria to beg and do bambiala for pension money from the same Nigerian government he fought and slaughtered millions of your people for.

Internet trolls and ipobs are all of a sudden Nigerians.?


Useless ipobs..

GodIsBiafran:
So where exactly did I quote this aboki? Where? You have no case - you should be ashamed of yourself

[/s]



Why did you quote me, object to my post and who quoted me with the word aboki and why?


Even 1 day old baby get beta sense than many of these ipobs sef,,

GodIsBiafran:
afonjic thrash! keep kwayet. Go and meet the aboki that made the statement.

According to the shallow, unintelligent and illiterate ipoba, the same aboki Hausa people are illiterates, they are uneducated and they are the symbol of your marginalization, but all f a sudden, the words of the same Hausa illiterate without facts or any credible logic or sane reasoning are now golden and gospel truth to you...


What's wrong with you people? Una no get shame or any sense of decency ni?

Anybody, even the devil sef fit pull your chain like baby toy, even the devil fit play with your emotions and sentiments because they know ou have low self-esteem, inferiority complex and you must be massaged to make you fell good about yourself.

Igbos generally feel inferior and inadequate and compensate with false superiority. They think that they are superior to other persons.


If you are around the Igbo all you hear are boasts about his real and imaginary accomplishments. He is very vainglory seeking

In personality structure the typical Igbo has traits of paranoia, narcissism and antisocial personality. He is paranoid because aware of his lack of existential worth, and instead of accepting that reality, he masks it with pretended worth; he pretends to have fictional worth.

Nna, shut up abeg....

You are the smartest


You are the richest


You are the most industrious


You own the whole of Lagos and Abuja


You own all the insutries in Nigeria



....but


....but


....but



.....but you still cry every day that you are marginalized and oppressed.



You see why we should never take these empty and shallow chest beaters seriously?


They function, breath and exist purely in emotions and sentiments, but never facts and reality


They are so easy to mentally and emotionally manipulate

The Igbo is full of arrogance and braggadocios. He is always praising himself. He is not humble at all; his empty pride gives folk the impression that he is very childish.

If you are around the Igbo all you hear are boasts about his real and imaginary accomplishments. He is very vainglory seeking

Silly and delusional people.

Destined2win:
Someone is about to be recalled from south Africa

It's ok to do tribal affiliation, but she should have resigned her position first before fraternizing with illegal organization and an accused currently on trial for terrorism and illegal activities by the same government she's serving.

This is bad for her and the government she serves.

Very thoughtless and irresponsible on her part.


She should be recalled ASAP.

Drsheddy:
Bad news for AFONJA them

Must you people spew dumb and ignorant rubbish all the time?

Paranoia, insecurity and low self-esteem is really killing you people beyond repair.

kingzizzy:
For a people who cherish their freedom, both are the same thing

Fighting for your freedom is either working the system, forming alliances, securing support from powerful countries, the UN, ECOWAS and AU.


Or secure unlimited funds to buy weapons from guns to warplanes, tanks, artillery, uninterrupted supply of food, medicine and so on.


Or don't do any of the above and repeat what your coward, irresponsible and incompetent Ojukwu did decades ago when you were not only defeated but also lost millions of your own people which = SUICIDE.



Again, fighting for freedom is quite different from suicide.

What Ojukwu did and what the new clown is trying to do is either suicide or just dishing out false hope to you and your people.

Abusing Nigerians and calling Nigeria a zoo is is just being a nuisance and silly distraction, not fighting for freedom.

Making up rubbish and 419 nonsense no dey taya you ipobs ni?

kingzizzy:
Well if you call fighting for our freedom and sovereignty stupid them Im truly sorry for you. Not all of us are prepared to accept slavery without a fight. We are a people who cherish our freedom and we are prepared too lose millions to get that freedom. How do you think the peace, properity and freedom in Europe was achieved? It was got at the cost of over 50 million lives in the second world war. If people like you had been in charge then, by now, all of Europe would have been under German control due to the slave mentality you have imbibed.

Im proud of my people for fighting their freedom against impossible odds and holding firm for 3 years. Things may not gave worked out but no shame in fighting for ones rights.

But after Nigerias victory, what has happend? Nigeria is still as divided as the day Ojukwu declared Biafra. The country is still as messed as ever, nothing is moving. Other countries have raced ahead. So what did the so called unity you people were fighting for achieve? You people are still begging the Northern oligarchy for restructuring and control of your own resources.

The joke is not on Ojukwu, the joke is on you Nigerians who think Lord Lugard can give you your country.

There's a clear difference between fighting for your freedom and suicide .

I hope you and your people know the difference.

kingzizzy:
You need to brush up on your Nigerian history. All the things you said in the above happend after the war already started except that of Awolowo who visited Ojukwu before Ojukwu declared Biafra. In that visit, Awolowo publicly said that if Igbo leave Nigeria, Yorubas would do the same. When Ojukwu seceded, insread of Awolowo to rally the Yoruba nation and fighting for their sovereignty, Awolowo as the typical 2 faced Nigerian politician he was accepted political position and started saluting Gowon who was young enough to be his son.

Ojukwu did everything he could to avoid war. He went to Ghana and signed the Aburi agreement so that there would be peace, Gowon broke the agreement. Ojukwu offered Gowon referendum so that there would no war, Gowon said it must be 'one Nigeria'. Gowon then declared war and invaded Biafra. Ojukwu never went to war, war came Ojukwu. All Ojukwu did was fight to defend his people.

Stop repeating the same rubbish. Regardless when the war started, the only way to avoid war is not to go to war in the first place especially against a stronger, larger and better equipped enemy.

It was foolish, dumb and idiotic to go to war without planning, without weapons to fight with, without food, without medicine and lack of safety and security for your people.

You forgot too soon all about your history and the sad consequences of the war ojuwku fought on your behalf?

jude90:
REMINDER of what happened when......

A Yoruba friend asked me: Under what conditions would you support "One Nigeria" and let go of the Biafra agitation and let it die down and finally laid to rest for good?
Here was my response:
1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar, Onitsha and Warri ports.
2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to Lagos and Abuja airports only local connecting flights will be allowed. While this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights direct and major connecting flights.
3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to move their embassies and consulates from Lagos, Kano and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.
4. All federal governments’ agencies in Lagos and Abuja shall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC, e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja, shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
6.All oil companies must relocate their head offices to PH, as the oil capital of Nigeria.
7. Let the northern children gain admission into federal schools with 300 score points while the South Eastern Children should gain admission with only 20 score points .
8. Let all federal road projects in the North/SW should be handled by one local companies and the one in the SE/SS should be handled by Julius Berger and foreign construction companies.
If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented for 50years , we can try one Nigeria and let see if you the North and SW will like it for a month...
Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get international visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping and importing their goods, etc., etc.
The Yoruba friend replied: You can’t be serious, this is wickedness and I said...
Really? Don’t you think South Eastern part of Nigeria have been suffering and enduring this very same wickedness for over 50

Na delusions go kill you people. Even a day old baby get beta sense than you people.

[s]

kingzizzy:
You should go and learn Nigerian history before saying these things.

The important thing here is that Ojukwu and Gowon had an agreement called the Aburi agreement. Gowon broke this agreement and Ojukwu declared Biafra. Gowon then declared war and sent troops to the East.

Is it while Nigerian troop are coming down to the East that Ojukwu waiting for 'perfect time' to fight? Ojukwu simply had to give it all he had and that is what he did for three years. Ojukwu never went to war, Nigeria brought war to Ojukwu.

Now the person you are talking about that has no AK47, why does he need one? The same person is saying he wants peaceful referendum, you Nigerians have already started shouting war. It is you Nigerians that love bringing war into everything same as you people did with Ojukwu. How do you think that if we fight again, we will ever come together as 'one Nigeria'? Not possible. So what is the point of fighting over something other countries use referendum to settle? Even Britain gave Scotland referendum in 2014 and later used referendum to leave the EU last year. So what is all this fighting about?

[/s]


The only history available and also the one you and your kind failed to and won't learn is the one that says ojukwu foolishly led you to a foolish and reckless war that killed millions of your people while at the end of the day, he cowardly ran off the battlefield for you to die and rot.

The same clown came back to Nigeria after begging the same Nigeria he fought for his pension, rank and more good life at your expense.

That's the only history available for you jokers to learn and comprehend and that's even if you are capable sef.


The new joker is even worse because he's ignorant, crude, crass and unintelligent, even all his followers are equally shallow, crude and unintelligent just like him.

kingzizzy:
Sorry bro but most Igbos dont share your sentiments. The war was forced on Ojukwu. It was far more incumbent on Gowon as head of state to prevent war than for Ojukwu.

Ojukwu was faced with two options. Bow down and accept Nothern domination like Awolowo and Yorubas did or rise up and fight for your sovereignty and freedom. Now which option did you expect an Igbo man like Ojukwu to choose?

No entity can force war on you, it's up to you to fight or be strategic by accessing your options, pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages and your odds. Why not wait till you are well prepared, well supplied and strong to boldly confront your enemy?


Going to war to war without tools to fight with, no food for your people to eat, no medicine to treat the injured with, no moral and material support by friends outside your borders is pure stupidity, recklessness, idiocy, foolishness and mental incompetence.


The new clown don't even have 1 AK 47 or 1 single truck load of food to sustain any friction or event.


Going to war based on sentiments and emotions is nothing but death wish.

jpphilips:
What is Biafra's plan for electricity generation? if they have any, why are all the 5 south east states not have 24hrs supply?
Corruption is equally king in the South east go figure!!

By taking over power plants in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states according to billygoat.

Their biafra rubbish is all based on assumptions, warped and illogical dreams.

joyandfaith:
If majority of ibo are illiterates, then all yoruba, hausa etc are imbeciles.

Shouldn't you be facing your illiterate brother the statement came from or you are just one of the illiterate can't read and comprehend ipobs he was talking about?

ESDKING:
Even if there is no single educated person that is supporting Biafra ( which is a lie from pit of hell), opinion of those illiterates counts because they are majority not the enlightened ones that are in minority. Go and learn politics, its all about numbers.

Those people you called illiterates are really shaking this country which your Osibanjo confirmed when he went to calabar yesterday.
If their opinions are worthless, why do unity beggars always wee on their pants whenever they hear anything IPOB ?

Sad and shameful that you are confirming that majority of ibo people are illiterates. Not that we don't know this fact anyways.




You people no get shame at all.
