FreeGlobe: Mr. Femi Adedeji who spoke on behalf of the traders..................

Ekomumu, are you referring to Mr. Femi? So discombulated fashola wan send mr femi back to ogbomosho. Very soon fashola will ask you to remove the Eko in your id and replace it with oyo where you come from.

Classicalman: Excuuuuuuseeee me..... Oyo state more developed than all states in the east? What does Oyo state have to show apart from the dirty smelly Ibadan and the numerous motor parks lorded over by NURTW minions? Negro pleazeeeee!!!!!!! Sit your ignorant, lazy Yoruba ass before your computer (that is if u have one) and do your research. Or better still, take the next available flight down to enugu and see things for yourself. I'm tired of replying to these Yoruba lowlives.

Beaf: IMHO, if the country were to split today, the SS would do best followed by the Middle Belt and SE (the Western parts of the SE would do exceedingly well). The core-North will really suffer and the SW will see a lot of brain drain, port business, oil coy hq's, banks etc following the money and heading for the SS. They will fare much better than the core-North though.

The SS will either stay together or form three countries; Cross River, Akwa Ibom and parts of Rivers could form one; Bayelsa, parts of Rivers and Delta could form another; parts of Delta and Edo could form a third.

FreeGlobe: ^
Charity they say begins from home hypocrite start with your pay masters ACN, Tinubu and Fashola.

manny4life: My friend, I strongly disagree with you. People don't go borrowing not because they can't fford it, neither did Anambra not borrow because it can't afford it, heck, Anambra is economically sound, however, it called financial prudence and responsibility.

I disagree once more that development in third wold countries can be hastened if financed through debt. You say these things very loosely, we're talking about govt borrowing here, or is govt ONLY responsible for development? Aren't private developers involved? If they borrow, we should count it towards the government?

There are types of financing which doesn't result to debt to a govt. The irresponsibility of governance for not generating enough revenues to cover cost is what leads to borrowing. Borrowing doesn't ask you where you're a G5 or third world nation, the bottom line is the responsibility. There are developments where it's equity financing, where you and I are stakeholders in a project, the govt doesn't really have to borrow.

For instance, in my state, there's a major Toll road that led to Dulles airport, guess what, VA govt did not spend a penny on it, rather VA gave the FFX, Herndorn, Mclean counties a contribution - all these counties own the more than $2billion road to Dulles, and YES they collect toll.

Just like the Dulles Rail Extension, this is pure equity without loans -this is between WMATA and other counties. The counties I listed (thru tax payers) build the rail track (by WMATA) and WMATA operate the trains. Technically WMATA isn't really contributing anything other than trains. Although, VA govt did give about $250million subsidy due to Virginians will ride it.

My point is, regardless of third world or not, if top states in Nigeria maximize their potentials (rather than govt trying to own everything resulting to borrowing), let the public invest in it, development will skyrocket. It doesn't mean that govt have to borrow to do everything

Nwa_Nimo: . . I can no longer take being refered to as a Nigerian.

To me the other tribes that make up this entity are an embarrasment.

I will stand up for anything good or bad an Igbo person does.

But as for the other tribes I just no longer want to be affiliated with them.

manny4life: Nope, Anambra doesn't owe.

He has nothing to prove to you Rhino, firstly, the onus is on you to prove his claims wrong, after examining the evidence, then he'll in turn prove yours wrong.

I don't know if you recalled few months ago, perhaps months after the subsidy saga, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released their reports of healthy states and non-healthy states, and serious indebted states. Though I'm not good at this, perhaps, Nairaland searches can help, Anambra was amongst 4 healthy states out of 36 states that were debt free, Anambra DID NOT, and I repeat, DID NOT have ANY DEBT on it's books as of the time of the recent report. As a matter of fact, they had reinvested their earnings, and even took a large chunk of Sabmiller SA (which obviously I opposed). So please, if we're to go by any stats at all, Anambra does not owe money. Nevertheless, the FMF and CBN data is there, perhaps, they can shed more light on your inquiry.

FreeGlobe: mumu, God forbid those crumbs are recorded in my region, Am a south Easterner where there are the likes of Okororocha and Chime not loud mouthed crooks like fashola and aregberascal

kaeto: No! This is not lagos state, this is Anambra state. The funds used in executing the projects were generated from savings, it wasn't borrowed from IMF like your lagos state. The last time I checked, lagos under fashola's regime is highest in both internal and external debts. Now the FG stopped the lazy lagos borrow culture, fashola has started constructing gutter, not even drainages, to even complete the gutter is big task so they are inspecting for now, pending when the borrow ban is lifted.

Demdem: i dont support this crap. It would have been cheaper to bring in the facilitators here instead if indeed they needed any training at all

Ogojohn: SOUTHWEST MY FOOT. THE FACTORY IS OWN BY AN IGBO MAN AN ANAMBRA MAN. I KNOW HIM. DO YOUR OWN HOME WORK WELL. IDLE MINDS.

pro01: Don't you ever get overwhelmed by the sheer scale of your stupidity? Don't you ever get tired of this "your state" blah blah blah, "Yoruba" blah blah blah foolishness? So you are the one to tell me about Adekunle Fajule Way that I ply daily? In a bid to defend the indefensible, you resort to telling bare-faced lies on the internet?

I couln't resist the urge to point out how silly you are with your clannish nonsense. However, that is something I would never deign to do henceforth.

kaeto: you are not only a big fool if you think you are more successful than the IGBOS but you also are, a deluded deranged yoruba tout who thinks we are pained by your public charade, we IGBOS don't beg investors to come invest in the east. We lead, you follow, though not well. IVM,SABMILLER, ORIENT REFINERY, GEOMETRICS,NEAST GROUP. You poor fuc.ks can't stand a chance, what biz have we with you lazies? Get off the way or you get your silly as.ses kicked to yaba left... To hell with all who liked the quoted comment.
