PhenomenonVFX: The next person especially from the Southeast who insults the governor of Ebonyi will be in for the argument of his life with me. Like Seriously? Ebonyi has the highest IGR?
What are the governors of Anambra and Abia doing? It is either they are deliberately under quoting their IGR or they are not doing their jobs well. Either way, they should be hanged. Those states are capable of generating IGRs 10 times that of Ebonyi when we consider the commerce and the population there.
I served in Enugu. And the people there even made me believe there was nothing to boast about in Ebonyi. That is why I never visited the place. And nairalanders have reinforced that belief until I stumbled on this thread. This goes to show the power of the media.
I am just waiting for the next unlucky sod who will talk jack about Elechi.

Nnewi1stSon: When we Igbos advice your people to cut down on their intake of 'oily soup' you think we're insulting you. So as slow as your brain is, 1.72 million 'VOTERS' translates to 'RESIDENTS'? Pls i dont engage in arguements with juveniles, google up and get lost!

pazienza: Same applies to you, if you don't want to be called Igbo, fine, but please don't extend it to other Ukwuanis. The most popular ukwuani man i know was Ali Chukwuma, and he was an Igbo to the core.

tess22: It's funny how some Igbos feel threatened when another Igbo man or woman comes online to 'wash their dirty linen in public'. These people will call the fellow names and deny that he or she is truly from Igbo land. SMH. As long as Igbos continue with their Victim Mentality and refuse to acknowledge unpleasant truths about themselves, they will always be in trouble.

It is truth, not cover-ups, denials, and excuses that set people free. Igbos wake up to the truths about yourselves and your land. Don't always go into defensive mode when people, even fellow Igbos, make constructive criticisms. If you guys refuse to be humble and learn from your mistakes, you will continue to have problems!

Remember the Hausas don't like you, the Yorubas barely tolerate you, and your own land is inhospitable due to kidnapping, rituals, erosion, corrupt & inept leaders, etc. For your own good, Ndigbo youths, throw off that chip on your shoulders and grow up! Don't continue with that toxic mindset your parents had. You will end up losing in all ways like they did.

BTW I consider myself quarter-Igbo, by marriage!

kmariko: What's this fixation with the catholic church. Does that mean that according to the governor most services in the state cannot be performed without involving the Catholic church.. It is really a very dangerous precedent.

Keneking: Useless governor, the general hospital in Umuleri has been abandoned for more than 20 years now and he can not fix it.

Nonsense!!!

Onlytruth: I personally think that the governors (Anambra's for example) are ALREADY getting enough funds to pursue some of the projects of transformation.
The problem is that some of them are determined to steal and pull the whool over our eyes.
I would take ONE INTERNATIONAL CLASS research hospital sited in Anambra state to all these minor patches of old hospitals which are still left without transformative equipment. That hospital will create thousands of jobs and even form indirect partnership with other hospitals to feed it of patients who need "overseas treatment". Patients can come from other African countries too. Enugu international airport is there now, so the hospital can be sited in Anambra state and equipped with a helipad to airlift patients to the international airport whenever necessary.

I read somewhere that Anambra state got up to 2 Trillion Nairaland in the 8 years of Obi's leadership. That is a lot of money.

I strongly believe that HUB BUSINESSES are the key to economic transformation of states and regions.

AtlanticBreeze: Again olodo, what has your governors done with FG allocations. I see no govt financial input in all you listed. A certain Peter Obi has not even held LG elections with over 270 billion in just LG funds missing. What are your fraudulent governors (bar Chime) doing with their FG allocations

AtlanticBreeze: olodo tell us what your governors are doing with their allocations, innoson set up his factory in his hometown regardless of any govt input. Tell us what your governors are doing with their allocations.

danot1030: SE need 2 drop hate n tribal sentiment 2 join d progresiv, pdp encorag stealin n neva demand development 4 d states dey control. ekiti, osun, ogun n oyo under pdp wer in deplorabl state until acn govnt was electd in, go 2 all dis state nw u wil see.

AtlanticBreeze: keep deceiving yourself

Afam4eva: I'm writing this to register my displeasure with the almost absence of huge development in the South-East of the country. I have looked round the country and have discovered that, it's probably in the South-East of the country that you have the lowest numbers of development, especially capital development going on. I recently saw a thread on stadiums being built by state governments and none of these stadiums are been built by South-East governments. Governments all over the country are embarking on building New Airports in their states but none of these states are South-East states. States all over the federation are setting up tourism havens but not in the South-East and this brings me to the question, what do South-East governors use their allocation for cos i've not seen any project in the SE worth jumping up for save for a few mostly in Enugu. As an Igbo man, i find it embarassing that when it's time to even boast about what my part of the country has done, there's very little that one can be proud of. I'm even looking to see if something is going on in Asaba to even use that to boast but despite the fact that some things have been achieved in Asaba, it's still a growing city. Right now, Enugu is all there is to be boastful about in the SE and i think it's a shame that a people who pride themselves in commerce are lagging behind big time in a country that can't even be said to be developing. I think the major problem is one of leadership. We probably boast of the worst leaders that this country has produced. We have to make do with all these Ogbete leaders that our states keep churning out. For heaven sake, what business has Theodore has in becoming an LGA chairman let alone a state governor. is there nobody that can do better than Martin Elechi? Is Peter Obi the best Anambra can boast of? When will Rochas start attracting big time investors to Imo state who are not coming to setup up cheap hotels. The SE needs our attention and it has to be very fast.

geeez: Including people like Oba Otudeko planning to invest billions in Abia

Your foreign trip is to Lagos and the SW states

taharqa: Gas-processing Industrial Plant?? ... Good

wirinet: Biafra, you seem not to have any sense of justice and fairness. Only 400,000 fellow biafrans out of 1.7 registeted voters and you are here talking about credibility of APC. Should you not be questioning the credibility of INEC instead. Should you not feel sorry for Tony Nwoye and his family, the protesting Akwa women and hundreds of thousands of others were stood in the sun for hours but not allowed to vote?

Are you really proud that only less than 200,000 will determine who will rule Anambra state? a population of more than 5 million people.

The most reasonable demand would be for the elections to cancelled(even though I know inec cannot cancel an election once results have been declared), the voters register revaildated quickly and a fresh elections ordered. In advanced democracies, the judiciary would have stepped in and sort thr whole thing out before the present governors leaves, but in Nigeria, the judiciary would allow Obiano stay for up to 2 years before cancelling the elections. By this time the governors would have consolidated his hold on power.

iterator25: delusion of grandeur...

ogwumgbe: Antivirus92, saying that you are a zombie accord you some credibility since zombies were humans. In fact, you are a daft. Cross over the bridge to Asaba and compare your state with theirs. Blind fool

AtlanticBreeze: I'm happy Authur Eze, the major financier of Tony Nwoye has not chickened out. The fight is on

Pukkah: The poor man is in serious trouble in this country. To make matters worse for the hapless masses, there's no help in sight. Politicians waste money anyhow and are driven by selfish interest.

There is no adequate drinking water or sanitation. Yet these leaders continue to squander money.

This is the same state where a market went up in flames recently and some of the traders attempted to jump inside the raging fire.
