Ha ha ha. Jonathan, Obi and Tinubu will run. At the end, even an Almajirinchi from the north will win.

Ongoing Federal Projects in the South-East (2023–2025)

1). 17.55 km Access Road Linking Second Niger Bridge (Anambra Side)

A concrete expressway connecting the monumental Second Niger Bridge to major arterial roads in Anambra.

This project removes the bottleneck around Onitsha and opens up commercial access for the region.

2). Enugu–Onitsha Expressway (A6 Corridor)

107 km highway under full-scale reconstruction through MTN’s Tax Credit Scheme.

As of March 2025, 50–70% completed.

Expected delivery: May 10, 2026 (handled by RCC Nigeria Ltd).

Includes rehabilitation of feeder roads:

Ozalla–Akpugo–Onitsha

Nenwe–Nmaku

9th Mile–Orokam

Over 60 federal roads are being fixed across Enugu and surrounding states, executed by Arab Contractors, CGC, RCC, IDC, Setraco, etc.

[b]3). Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway (Section II: Umuahia–Aba)[/b]

56 km stretch currently undergoing total rehabilitation.

Earthworks largely done as of April 2025, with just 2 km remaining and 4 km asphalt finishing.

A key North–South commercial artery now being fully restored.

4). Other Major Federal Road Projects

Extensive work ongoing across the region:

Ihiala–Orlu

Oba–Nnewi–Okigwe

Owerri–Umuahia

Nsukka–Obollo‑Ikem

Bende–Ohafia–Arochukwu

Abakaliki–Afikpo

5). Eastern Railway Revival — $3 Billion Allocation

Under President Tinubu, the long-abandoned Port Harcourt–Enugu–Maiduguri Railway has received a $3 billion allocation under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

When complete, this will:

Connect Aba and Onitsha directly to the North

Unlock ₦50 billion annually in trade and logistics value

Modernize transport for millions of Southeasterners and traders

For decades, this vital corridor was neglected — now it’s being revived.

Unfortunately, our people choose tribe and sentiments over development.
Even if Tinubu turns the entire SE into a place more beautiful than Dubai, they will still not like him. They will prefer a Peter Obi as President who will do nothing for anyone in 8 years and have the bragging right that an igbo man is the President, than someone who will really develop our region.

For 6 years under GEJ a president the South-East voted for en masse none of this happened. Not one road of this scale. Not one railway. Not one billion-naira intervention of this kind. And yet, loyalty was unquestioned.

Time to Think Differently

If development truly matters, it should be acknowledged when it’s happening regardless of who is in power. PBAT’s track record in just 2 years shows that leadership isn’t about ethnicity it’s about results. But then hate will never allow my people to see this truth.

Biko for the shaded above I know verywell: , can you show where work is ongoing at Ihiala-Orlu road? Too many Lai Mohds on NL.

Omalicious1:
The owner of the whars app group has spoken...make admins dey careful

"There is no two ways about it " - Lawyer Wike.

Aify147:
When will this wike of a man realize that nothing lasts forever, even his current position? He behaves like he's gonna be there forever

No, not until Wike becomes bigger than Rotimi Amaechi in the political terrain of Nigeria. His struggle with Amaechi for political relevance has been driving Wike crazy.

So saud number 1 political buccaneer and vampire of Nigeria.

Brendaniel:
My annoyance now is Seun and his mods have disabled right click because of people copying and pasting their rules, they are just making the platform more stressful to use, they are behaving like Tinubu who will leave the cause of a problem and be fighting symptoms while damaging things because they are part of the cause of the problem.

You guys will keep going in circles till you get rid of political influence and tribal bias on Nairaland which you Seun and almost all your mods are part of...

NL now has a special moderation squad for deleting anti APC comments and banning the person who made the comment. Ridiculous.
Back to the topic. Go to the airport and see Nigerians returning from the UK. Some wear 1970s shoes and trousers. Do you blame them? They say rent or mortgage alone nearly consume their monthly pay,

ogugwa1992:
https://www.arewareportersng.com/police-retirees-protest-and-sowores-spectacle/

Author rightly stated first that protest is a legitimate instrument.
So when people are in protest and someone, whoever the person might be, obstructs the protesters, what else does author expect from the protesters?

Before nko? You don't understand that he can hardly live with you as wife?

louken:
Soludo has never supported Peter Obi's presidential bid.
He has in the past made statements to undermine Obi's popularity and acceptance.
Whatever reasons he has for doing this, only him knows. It's likely he's jealous of Obi or he's working for another political party against Obi

Soludo wants to become the first Igbo president of Nigeria. That's behind all his tirades against Obi.

DeepSight:
True, he may not have been referring to Obi. However anyone who understands political speech understands that innuendoes, side-blows, killing two birds with one stone, and other such things exist. Nonetheless, in light of POs one-term promise being simultaenously in the public space, it was natural and useful for him to comment on it.

Because Soludo had often taken swipes on Obi, the parrots of APC took to the social media with their comments that Soludo was referring to Obi.

owobokiri:
You are the one having a siege mentality here. You felt attacked when none of that was my intention.
To start with, I'm not from Anambra. I am from Imo state, and Imo state get all sorts of subliminal attacks from the same Anambra that you mentioned, so I can relate. We're framed as being way too cunny with an ITK mentality. Lol 😆
But it's all good. Anambra na our junior brothers so.we.can deal

I stand by what I said though because I was not trying to belittle Abakiliki people with that post. Tgat was never my intention. I was just trying dress the loquacious upstart with a fitting toga! I would have said something like "The Butcher of Owerri"

If we were talking about Hope Uzodimgba. Hope is from Orlu senatorial area, but he is the governor at Owerri-the state capital..

So don't lump all of us together. You can go through my post history as it relates to threads associated with Umeahi and Ebonyi state. I have never been a fan of Umeahi, but I have absolutely nothing against the great people of Ebonyi. I think he I way too opionated for his own good, very incapable of group think even when he leads the group as was the case when he was the Chairman of the SouthEast governors forum but was talking about Ebonyi being marginalized by other igbos. Who is marginalising him?

But I totally do understand where you were coming from and until I saw your "mention", I didn't see the post that way. So going forward, maybe to respect peculiar sensitivities associated with our people from Abakiliki/Ebonyi, I may need to couch my posts in related topics a bit better/calmer..

Do have a great day..

Bolded above.
Hope Uzodinma must be from Owerri zone judging from his pattern of governance of the state, from his day one till today. Nothing from his government outside Owerri state capital.

cosse:
She condemned the blanket stereotyping of Nigerians in Ghana, adding that while a few individuals(IBOS) may be guilty of illegal acts, the majority are peaceful residents, contributing positively to Ghana’s economy and society.

MGPU. When you started in the SW to victimise Igbos and officially took your campaign of calumny to foreign countries and foreign embassies, here is the result. Igbos are still Nigerians. If you don't like it, let them have their own country.

Goodluck Jonathan did not destroy opposition. If one in power is not doing well, what is the point trying to destroy the opposition? This is democracy. Only an illiterate who pretends to be a democrat would go to destroy opposition.

helinues:
Such can never be allowed again in Lagos state. Never

Nigeria's constitution states it clearly: [every citizen has a right to live anywhere in Nigeria, and vote, as well as be voted for, where they live]. Your lot must stop this display of ignorance because Tinubu is in power. He will leave one day.

PresidObi:
I think he's correct, They migrated to Lagos even before the war in 1960 to 1965. They thought Nigeria would have worked. Now they are living in Lagos legitimately, their children and grandchildren are all Lagos indigenous people. We cannot do anything against them now because their position is backed by the laws of Nigeria. They have come to stay, FOREVER

Ekene dili Chukwu agemates, Sir Louis Ojukwu agemates and even the regrettable Joe Igbokwe

Declaring Oduduwa Republic is the only way to end it. Nobody eats his cake and has it. Akinola Aguda recommended Abuja for new capital of Nigeria. Yorubas who occupied the federal civil service since the civil war began abandoned Lagos and trooped to settle in Abuja. Igbos who were mainly petty traders in Lagos remained behind in Lagos. They built Lagos in addition to money from crude oil.

seunmsg:
Make e try go Onitsha too so that he can showcase the city Peter Obi turned to Dubai to the rest of the world. No be only Tinubu Lagos dey Nigeria.

Will he embrace a certified drug trafficker/certificate forger?

Amaechi still in the struggle with Wike over who will be boss in Rivers stste politics. Same struggle made Wike accept ministerial appointment from APC.
Use and thro-way lot.

NgeneUkwenu:
In All these, I pity Peter Obi. He has been demystified by his association with those he claimed destroyed Nigeria..

Your Buhari destroyed Nigeria more than anyone else, right from Dec 31, 1983.

APC worse in old wolves in new garbs. And APC destroyed happiness and wellbeing of Nigerians.

Why Amaechi de always go to this man for interview? The man unnecessarily dragged Amaechi into his recent statement on his Igbo origin.

Putindbutt:
The President has signed a new amendment bill to the 2024 bill. He has fully decentralized power and removed the load totally from the federal to the states.

Fraud is in removing the load from the federal government and pass it over to the state governments while federal government still receives the lion share of income from oil and gas and from other sources.

Abandonment of responsibility. Nigeria's operating a quasi unitary government system where most of oil earnings go to the central government. What will the federal government be doing with its lion share of oil revenues aa it leaves states to use their paltry allocations to provide electricity infrastructures?

Nnamdi Kalu merely formed a secessionist group with no violence as its motto.
The IPOB people paraded the streets of the southeast for years with no fly harmed. Suddenly, Buhari government used the armed forces to kill many unarmed IPOB members praying in a church in Aba. The government followed that with Operation Python Dance by Nigeria's armed forces that killed many people in the southeast.
Buhari government's Attorney General stealthily went to court and obtained a judgement declaring Kalu's IPOB a terrorist organization.
It's no offence to seek for a new country from a mother country. So what's Nnamdi Kalu's offence?

RealLordZeus:
According to you, anyone that does not accept Jesus Christ as his or her Lord or Saviour, that person will perish..

Are you aware that nearly all your APPLE OF GOD'S EYE does not and will not accept Jesus Christ as such..

Simple query, are they going to perish or not?

Judaism and Christianity do not coerce people to join their religious faiths.

Unlike the religion of Iran which coerces others to join their religion.
Read between the lines at times.

What does it take to divide Nigeria into more manageable countries so that the sharia states will have their Islamic Republic?
Southern Nigerians are of sleepy minds. They allow Islamists kill all of them in one Nigeria.

Tinubu-led government has already told Nigerians to arm themselves. So who expects Tinubu government to catch the killers?
In 🇳🇬 Nigeria, it's to your tents O Israel. But crude oyel proceeds still hold Nigeria one.

gidgiddy:
Funny thing is that to import a Radio Transmitter into the country is not illegal

Only children can be incited to do what they did not plan to do. Adults act voluntarily. Nnamdi Kanu did not incite children.

Bamboo houses? When other African countries are building condominiums for the poor.
Russia has dismantled its condominiums as number of poor people diminished in Russia.
Poverty propagating APC
