Curlieweed: It’s interesting that the two states you mentioned (Enugu and CRS) are older states. These states had better infrastructure for tax collection than the newer states which in most cases have not developed such systems. It goes to show you that most of these issues are structural. I guess that also kind of gives some credence to your “oversight “ assertion.
I don’t think the state executives are too enamoured with “restructuring”. Why spoil a good thing? Of course we have already talked about their short term focus. In the SE, it’s mainly Ohaneze ( with frustrated political ambitions and have the luxury of being outside looking in) as well as ordinary citizens that are more in favour of restructuring. The whole country will gain from restructuring in the longer term despite real short term pain in many areas. Actually, that is the only solution to our myriad issues. Hopefully, state (or regional) political executive offices will be less attractive to the kind of carpet baggers we have currently and we can attract people with some vision. Accountability should also improve because there is no one else to blame.
I think the tenement rate is a local government tax. That is the tragedy of the decision of most state executives to literally abolish that tier of government. In most countries, local governments (or municipalities) are responsible for streets (road maintenance), sewage, some utilities, basic education, waste disposal, police and a number of other services. They are usually financed mainly by property taxes. In Nigeria, the LGs do almost fvck all. Citizens have to provide these services for themselves while still paying taxes to state government which is very unfair especially to wage earners who can’t escape PAYE.
That is also why the effects of restructuring (not withstanding the loss of revenue) will have less an impact on the lives of ordinary people than you may expect. Currently, the actual impact of state governments on the lives of most ordinary Nigerians is very limited. For example, I saw people praising Mr Umahi for building flyovers and “glass tunnels”. In Kano state, they built the longest flyover in the country. Amaechi left a half completed monorail system in Rivers state. How do these help the ordinary person who is struggling to make $1:00/day?
If we get an opportunity to create one more state, let us push for Adada.
Obi1kenobi: Nigeria is far too fragmented, with far too many states and far too many ethnicities (where similar groups like Isoko and Urhobo, or Efik and Ibibio, or Igboid groups claim distinct identities). Something like 30 states in Nigeria are not economically viable. This states-creation obsession only serves to further entrench the status quo of states sharing money from Abuja rather than looking to stand on their feet as viable economies in their own right. Enugu was ripped in two to form Anambra. Provided a big chunk of land for Ebonyi, and now people want it balkanized farther to form another state? Why? Only reason that makes sense which I've heard is the extra National Assembly seats. But that is not good enough reason to override economic considerations.
How does giving a region with just 5 states, one more state, to put it on equal footing with its peers, going to solve or create more issues?
The SE is in critical need of at least one more state.
Adada is the best and safest option. It provides a unique opportunity to capture our people in the middlebelt into the SE
THIS IS THE TOPIC THAT WE ALL LOVE TO TOPIC ABOUT BUT NOBODY IS SURE ABOUT WHERE TO START.
IN ALAIGBO TODAY, IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO RESTRUCTURE, ARE WE CERTAIN OF WHICH STATES NEED TO BE STRATEGICALLY CREATED FOR NDIIGBO?
LET US DISCUSS STATE CREATION AND FOR THIS WE WILL CERTAINLY NEED SOMEONE WITH LINKE TO PETER OBI, BECOS HE IS THE MOST RELEVANT PERSON IN SE POLITICS AT THE MOMENT.
ckenneths: THE ORIGIN OF IGBO LAND PLS KNOW YOUR ORIGIN IT IS WISE AND EDUCATING TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY AND FAMILY TREE LINE AND WHERE YOU ORIGINATED FROM . They documented some of our history in your bible but you don't know. IGBOS BIBLICAL GENEALOGY. Let's begin according to Genesis 29 verse 30: JACOB had twelve (12) sons namely: #1. Ruben #2. Simeon #3. Levi #4. Judah #5. Dan #6. Naphtali #7. Gad #8. Asher #9. Issachar #10. Zebulun #11. Joseph #12. Benjamin. The 7th son was GAD. and according to Genesis 46 vs16. GAD had seven (7) sons namely: Ziphon Haggi Shunni Ezbon Eri Arodi Areli. Sometime in Middle East, famine struck and Jacob moved with his family and about 70 other relations to Egypt. But before then Joseph (which was 11th son of Jacob) had already been sold to Egypt by his brothers, where he was made Governor General under a King Pharaoh. As time goes on when the Pharaoh that knows Joseph died, they started suffering persecutions from the hand of Egyptians but ERI the 5th son of GAD foresaw the danger, persecution, and wickedness coming and he decided to leave in time with his two younger brothers, ARODI & ARELI with one of his half brothers. They travelled through Ethiopia, Sudan and down towards West Africa through river nile and landed at a place known as AGULERI today through Omambala river in Anambra state, around 1305 BC. (I) ERI established and lived close to the Omambala river. He was wealthy and wise like his great grand father (Abiama) Abraham. That is why Anambra state has the highest number of rich people in Africa. ERI; had five (5) sons: (1) Agulu (2) Atta (3) Oba (4) Hebrew/Ibo (5) Menri (1) AGULU; as the first son stayed back and established in the place known as Agulu-ERI (Agulu son of ERI) in Anambra state. (2) ATTA; moved to upward North and established a place known as "IGALA Kingdom " and that is why their overall KING is known as "Atta of IGALA" in Kogi state (3) OBA; left and founded a place known as Oba Kingdom in Anambra state. (4) HEBREW; which have been changed to mean Hibo or Ibo. He was very powerful spiritual man and that is why people from this area are always very spiritual. He left and founded Igbo-Etiti, Igbo- Adagbe, Igbo- Eze (within Nsukka and parts of Anambra). (5) MENRI left and founded a place known as ""AgukwuNRI". NRI Kingdom. (II). ARODI moved to a place known as "ARO- CHUKWU". Very industrious and good at arts and crafts. (e.g: Aba Ngwa people of Aba). ARODI gave birth to: (1) Nembe (2) Ngwa (3) Abakaliki (4) Ogoni (5) Afikpo (6) Aro-Ikot Ekpene (Akwa Ibom ) (7) Aro- Echie (Rivers state) ( Arondizuogu. During slave trade Aro spread all over the world. America, Cuba, Brazil and "ARO-festival" is always been celebrated in CUBA. (III). ARELI was a man with a lot of Wisdom. The native tongue of his descendants is today known as "Central Igbo". And people from this Area have the highest number of graduates and professors in Igbo land. ARELI gave birth to: (1) Owerri (2) Umuahia (3) Diobu (River state) (4) Okigwe (5) Orlu (6) Nkwerre (7) Elele (Mba Ise) (9) Mba Ano, etc... ERI half brothers moved and founded IJAW nationality and some parts of Edo State and many other parts of Niger Delta. EVIDENCES and SIMILARITIES: Now to verify some of the things I have said above. (1) If you get to Aguleri there is a particular house known as OBI GAD (house of GAD). Remember GAD was the 7th son of Jacob (Gen 29:30) and GAD had five (5) sons of which the last three (3) who were ERI, ARODI and ARELI and some of their half brothers left Egypt to West Africa). The OBI GAD was the resting or relaxing place for ERI and his brothers and they named it OBI GAD in order to honour their father (GAD, the 7th son of Israel). This OBI GAD was the first house built in Igboland. This is the reason why every Igbo man always build a place called OBI/OBU in his house in honour of his father and mainly for relaxation and in the olden days, there is always a family shrine or little oracle, and why they worship Oracle then was because they left EGYPT before GOD gave 10 commandments to Moses for the Israelites, of which one of the 10 commandments is against idol worship. (even though modern day Igbos now build OBI as outside BAR without any Shrine, while some Christians don't build OBI anymore because of their beliefs). It can also be Called ERI TEMPLE. The Obi GAD also serve as a Consulting place for some royal fathers from other community that have Direct root to ERI. ANOTHER EVIDENCE. (2) At the Burial place of ERI, there is a TRINITY TREE standing on the grave site. These are three Trees but are strongly United and connected by Single Tap Root. (3) "ADA" means first Daughter in Israel (Gen 4 vs 19- 20) and it means the same thing in Igbo language. (4) Before an Igbo man makes a contribution in a public gathering, he will shout "Igbo kwenu " and the people will respond "Yah" and "Yah" is short form of " Yahweh. Yahweh is the name of Jewish GOD. (5) STAR OF DAVID AND some bronze medals Encrypted with Hebrew Codes were found in many part of the Igbo land. (6) Israelis (Jews) manufactures 80% the world weapons and 70% of USA weapons. Just like Igbos manufactured 80% of all the weapons used during Biafran. Which no other African nation has done. Igbos were only defeated during the war due to Hunger policy. By now, we would have manufacturing war weapons for Africans, and no country will have to go outside Africa to purchase weapons to fight Insurgency, if not for the bad policy of Nigeria. Igbos are the most highly technologically inclined people in the whole of Africa. You will also notice that Igbos always handle the post of science and technology and industry in most Nigeria ministerial post. The first West African billionaire is from Nnewi: Chief Sir Louis Ojukwu. The black Indigenous Vehicle Manufacturers eg: INNOSON MOTORS AND COSHARIS MOTORS, Indigenous MOBILE PHONE AND COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS eg: (A) SLOK MOBILE (Orji Uzo kalu).. (B) ZINOX COMPUTERS (Leo Stan Ekeh). (C) SLOT MOBILE (NNAMDI EZEIGBO) (D) Father of internet and founder of the fastest computer in the world (PHILIP EMEAGWALI) etc. (7) We carry home our dead ones just like the Israelites (Gen 49 vs 29-50). (Just like the Israelites, we were led or ruled by Elders and Priest. There was no King in Israel until Samuel appointed Saul as the King of Israel and that was why Israelites were led by Prophet Moses and so many other Prophets. CONCLUSION: Isreali Ambassador (Noah Katz) Confirmed that Igbos are Jews. (Check Daily Sun Newspapers 28th March 2004). Therefore, Igbo are the Engine Block and Japan of Africa , no wonder an Author with international reputation, "Emefiena Ezennia" said that "In Biafra Africa Died". We are good people, we love our neighbours, we accommodate anybody. We can live everywhere and develop anywhere. It is in our blood to develop. We need Igbos to develop Nigeria, Africa and even the world as a whole, we are God's people, a chosen generation! Nigeria should stop the marginalization of the Igbos and the Biafrans or let them have their freedom. For the Igbos we should know who we are, dream and think bigger, for you are the son of the most high God, the God of Abraham (Abiama) believe in yourself and work harder as it is in your blood, every Igbo parents should endeavour to teach their children Igbo language and culture all the time!

This is the concluding part to the first video, i posted.
pazienza: Dalu Nwannem. I decided that he's an attention seeker with intent of derailing our thread with meaningless argument. That's why I decided to ignore his later posts.
U are indeed an asset to this gathering of Igbo progressives union.
Obi1kenobi: Oh, it's no more only Gad that fled to Igbo land. All the Jewish tribes flee come here join. Israel don finish for Nigeria be that nah. No wonder we are 40 million and they are only 8 million. Na here most of them run come. You mugus cannot even stick to one line of inquiry.
horsepower101: Ok HammerFC, with all due respect, your point has been made. Repeating the same arguments over and over again wont change much. This is now borderline trolling.
Enough of the Jewish Arguments. It has been laid out over the last 20 pages for all to see. STOP repeating yourself over and over.
Its now becoming irritating and nauseating.
ACTUALLY 3 PAGES AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT IS PART OF THE IGBO DISCOURSE.
ChinenyeN: It means nothing to me, since we have now affirmed that this entire reauthorization is centered around Nri, and as an Ngwa, I have no ancestral affiliation with Nri. Consequently, I have no connections (falsified or otherwise) with the Jew moonlight tales. My many thanks for your assistance in providing that clarity to this Jewish shinama. In keeping with my word, we can move on amicably.
WATCH THIS VIDEO, AM NOT THE PERSON THAT MADE IT, BUT FEEL FREE TO SEE EVEN MORE COINCIDENCE.
basilo101: Before Saul/David era, Isreal had no king. What they had was "Judges" who are circumstantial leaders who rise to solve a pressing national problem. This was akin to igbo society without centralized government. Originally this was God's plan for them but they later asked for a king and Samuel (the last Judge) was particularly angry about this. When the monarchy was firmly established by David there was rebellion against Rehoboam , David's grandson, who insisted on carrying on with Solomon's heavy taxes. This lead to break up into northern and southern kingdoms. Igbos generally have this attitude of rebellion against oppressive regime
ChinenyeN: So, here is what I have learned from these Israel-lovers:
Nri people are at the center of the Jew shinama.
Well, I guess that settles it. We now know who the Jews are in Igbo and they are Nri. Now, since we also know that many many Igbo groups claim zero ancestral affiliation with Nri, it is safe to say that the majority of Igbo have nothing to do with the Jews. So, a simple proposal is in order.
Nri people should speak only about themselves. If they are ashamed of their Igala ancestry, then that is their own problem. They should leave the rest of us out of their BS.
These are the names of Jacob's twelve sons (in order of birth), Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin, become the ancestors of twelve tribes, with the exception of Joseph,
Zebulum. We have Ozubulu in Anambra and Ubulu in Anioma.
