I personally think the OP raised some pertinent issues which are worthy of consideration. We really need to hold our leaders and representatives more accountable if we must see more development in the SE. Even though you did not write it in black and white, your first comment on this thread implies a clear and needless resentment for the Yorubas as if to say they are responsible for the problems of the southeast.

[/s]
Face front, go and solve the problem in your region first.

obailala:
@FKO81,

Why do you think the Yorubas are the problem of the southeast?

What did you mean by " Problem of Southeast" and please can you point where I wrote that?

chinolization:
Its okay! Give it up! Since they didnt first post pictures then you shouldn't have done so, please remove those SW pictures. Thank you

Cheers!!

MayorofLagos:
To those posting pictures, OP says you have visionless and incompetent leadership. Your villages are no comparison to cities in the West. You have a warped understanding of what a city is. Let's even say you have a city....how does it translate to good governance?

Ok, so you have the best cities in the world but you have been squeezed out of political relevance and slowly displaced from 3rd to 4th majority by those whose cities are far less developed than yours and moreover their cities sustain you, not yours....so what have you really gained in this country? To survive in Nigeria you must have power. Where is your stake?

I believe these are cities that is better than eastern cities? OBJ spent 8yrs in power, what did he achieve in Ogun state?
1 and 2 Abeokuta city
3 Ogun state high court Ota, not too far from OBJ's house

disumusa:
my brother no economic power without political power i.e ibos are rich but sw,north are wealthy go and consult economist for meaning.

After spending 38yrs in power and still counting and initiating policies that favors your people what is the state of northern economy? Poverty is still ravaging north, Education=0 Health=0

disumusa:
stop tribal issue if i refer to obj am talking about civilian era , pls am not a yoruba and yoruba are not complaning or disgruntle they rather talk about true federalisim rather than war.

So you'r Hausa and your leaders are better than southeastern leaders

disumusa:
my brother ibo leader are just the problem, they are selfish and corrupt including all the governor etc. Let me tell you ibo occupied position than yorubas i.e during the millitary era the eminent sw that surpose to be taking contract or occupied position are busy with human right actives i.e gani fawemi,falana,taisolarin,wolesoyinka,beko kuti,fela, fela mother. While ibo dyning and wining with fg, also during civilian regim all sw are in oposition for like 20yers. [b]Infact obj was busy fighting yorubas,[/b]so ibo chek your leaders b/4 you blame f.g

Never knew OBJ was Igbo leader, and your progressive leaders mortgage your furture with indebtedness and can't pay salaries.

OdenigboAroli:
Nwanne,don't let these fools turn you to a triba9.

No problem bro, I'm having discussions with brothers from west, I just want to challenge their media war against us, I know my limit, Thanks!

show us Oyo skyline

Rilwon:
I'm not a photographer, I don't go about shootinh pics. I have been around oyo state, and confidently say that those pictures you upload are hogwash compared to what is here.

I can help you, Ibadan pics

radgenez:
all this postings do nothing but prove inferiority complex what is the point of showing gorgeous empty mansions when there is no govt presence or city planning fr that matter..u can choose to ignore it if you want but in the next ten years you will understand the importance of what i am saying...

No government present in southeast and they are best in Education, poverty reduction, health care etc. why some states in southwest can't pay civil servants for months, southwestern states are highest indebted states in southern region and poverty is growing at high rate in that region

Rilwon:
Some part of oyo state are far more better than this.

which Oyo can we see that part? I have more than enough pics to chase you out from this thread,

Ebonyi state

Few pics from Abia state

Few Pics from Imo for those that think Nigeria start from Lagos and end in Osogbo

investnow2013:
River Niger Bridge at Onitsha

GEJ really tried on that bridge, the contractor finished the maintenance and painting be for the end of his administration, this is the short I took last 2weeks

liberty300:
The truth is that no south east state is underdeveloped

Op weldone, all Ebonyians in the house pls maintain this thread let us monitor the new administration, don't allow critics to weigh you guys down.

teebabsman:
Osogbo is quite better

Which Osogbo? Osogbo I know to well, can you open Osun thread let us campare the two states

DankemzI:
My brother the truth be told Ebonyi is a backward state.
Way back 2005, Ebonyi was far more better than Akwa Ibom State.
Thanks to Akpabio, Akwa Ibom now ranked top 10 must visit states in Nigeria
It takes passion to get the job done. Come what may Abia as at now can be compared with Akwa Ibom ?

I.k-town: A town in Akwa Ibom, not a capital city o!
Abakiliki: A major town(Capital Town'city') in Ebonyi state now compare and contrast

You reason through your anus, how can you compare Ebonyi state to Awka Ibom, Awka Ibom monthly allocation surpassed Ebonyi four years alloction from FG, it will be right to campare Ebonyi state with Osun,Ekiti and some northern states that where you will know Ebonyi is not backward for what media made us to believe.

MayorofLagos:
This OP is sn Igbo son and opened a thread to vent his concerns, all of which are relevant and precise, instead of responding to his address, monkeeys jumped in and started blaming Yoruba.

Ediot I know you are the one that used another name to write that rubbish, I know you guys like back of my scrotum.

This is Anambra state, Go to Enugu,Imo, Abia and Ebonyi to feed your eyes not to stay in your region and think southeast states are deserted

can you show me any state in your region that is better than this state except Lag which was develop by all Nigerians

[s][[s]quote author=radgenez post=34503324]Over the years the cry for sovereignty for the igbo nation has been intensifying but now it is reaching a peak and should not be ignored. there are many reasons why people should seek to be independent but does that necessarily mean that their problems will end, the real problem with the igbo nation or ndigbo as we are now fondly called is not because of our people but our leaders and the lackadasial attitude we display towards our governance.

THE PRE BIAFRA ERA
This was the period when we were completely devoted to the nigerian project. then we were the eastern region and in a temporary state of happiness we had good governance and the reason why was because we held our leaders responsible it was during this period we truly saw development in the south east. Enugu was beautiful and bubbling with economic activities, Ph was ongoing and UNN was established. But since that dark period of the pogroms and the civil war everything we achieved was either destroyed or stagnated.
we have truly become worse off than we originally were all the multinational companies, oil palm plantations and almost everything that made that era great were destroyed. Infact it was the civil war and division of Igbo land into states that started this spate of Igbo disunity today. we are ika, ngwa mbaise, etche, ikwerre before we are igbo.
a people divided on all fronts can never progress. we need to have a united front can never progress we rather need to become united with both the SS and the rest if the country we will not gain anything in a democracy by becoming isolated.

LACK OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH EAST.
The title speaks for itself, has there been any significant capital devt. in the southeast for the past 50 years, honestly this issue makes me emotional sometimes.
which federal universities, airports, roads,seaports,hospitals, industries can we point to in the south east. our region is the most densely populated in nigeria and maybe even WA and this alone doesn't even give the FG any reason to act, this issue alone is responsible for the massive emigration from the SE to even hostile environments.
FOR GODS SAKE, we have been screaming for a damn bridge for the past 30+ years and uncle jona didn't even bat an eye to build a more expensive project(abj-kd railway).
Every parent in the south east major concern is which university will my child go to, it is no wonder we have the largest amount of illegal private universities in nigeria, i mean besides UNN (which has even been destroyed) what else is there.
Every month we all gather to celebrate our kinsmen who have" made it in lagos."
while the roads to their villages are not motorable. AND LATER SOME PEEPS WILL WONDER WHY WE WANT TO LEAVE NIGERIA. GOD HELP US!!!!!!!.

THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
One thing i learnt from GEJ government is that we should not allow familiarity to come before competency. we are currently in a dilemna because we are the only region with no representation in the ruling party we should not keep quiet about this because we need people who can pressure the current government. Even with all he influence we had during OBJ rulership here was no devt. in SE what can we then gain if we do lack political influence. The PDP we are currently carrying on our heads is gradually losing grounds in the SS.
As it stands our children living in other parts of the country have acculturated and hate the prospect of returning to the SE. Our language is currently going extinct even within the confines of our villages. Recent population statistics show that the south east is not up to the population of kano+ katsina.and with the constant emigration and increased birth rate in the north kano will soon become larger in population than the whole south east i.e: we are gradually becoming a minority in this country. IF WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT OUR CURRENT STATE NOW WE WILL REMAIN STAGNANT FOREVER.
CONCLUSIONS:
we need to take a consensus and know if biafra is feasible or not because if we dont we will continue to divide our attention and the government will continue the systematic rape of the SE.
We need to create political awareness in the south east and stop electing effluential personalities who will live off our allocation but rather innovative technocrats we need a more widespread but convergent representation in national parties including a strong regional party(a Reformation of APGA).
We should also stop the attitude of giving blind support to the FG at all times and by all means because we are just motivating them to ignore us. we all know the north was highly favoured in GEJ administration because they were his stiffest opposition,we may not have any significant political weight in this country but our resolve will pull through.
If this is not possible we should then push for the actualisation of our own country with or without support from the SS.

PS: i am an igbo guy through and through and do not need ur approval[/s] to speak my mind.

Ewu this is one state in southeast can you show me any state in your region outside Lagos that was developed by all Nigerians that the development surpass this state

SpaceTour:
Yeah! Going by the pix and if they maintain this tempo the Shoprite facility should be ready even before September. I think the Awka and Nnewi malls will be coming on stream much later in the year. Good job!

Not sure about Awka and Nnewi malls although works are going on but they are far......
