Of course. Igbos are the cause of their problems. Not stoning corrupt elites like OUK and their likes who had mortgaged the future of region is the cause of our problems.

OUK is right.

All these rants because your folks are "I BETTER PASS MY NEIGHBOR "types, @ bolded, Yorubas actually had Jim Nwobodo,and Chuba Okadigbo to thank for OBJ's ticket at the Jos convention, at the expense of Dr Alex Ekwueme.
Don't you think its more important to worry about the progress of Your people collectively than HOW TINUBU AND FASHOLA ARE FLEECING US?.
I rest my case, EOD.

Even if the entire SE PDP caucus voted for Ekwueme, it was never going to be enough for his emergence.

No, I think it's more important that as a Yoruba you stick more to worrying about your people than coming here to spew trash about Ndiigbo.

Attack the message and ignore the messenger, MKO only pay for not heeding his wife's warning, Mulika wey gave us a transformer wey no dey work despite all that was allocated to her constituency, abeg na who Mulika help for her constituency?, why do you guys like trivializing serious issues and turn around to blame others.
If Yoruba's collectively had abandoned MKO as you claimed, how come three political parties picked two Yorubas as presidential candidates in 1999?.
You guys still don't get it do you?, that every successful football team is made up of a quality striker, talented midfield, a no nonsense defense and a coach who can use his players to destroy the opponents game plan CHAI.

Yorubas abandoned Abiola. That he died in the prison with no fan fare is no longer news.

Oh! Never knew Mulikat was a PHCN official to be providing transformers. How much has your Jagaban and Fashole embezzled from Lagos?

We get it perfectly. Obj coronation in 1999 was the decision of powers that be, it had nothing to do with Yorubas as he wasn't even a Yoruba candidate.

It's a pattern that when ever a stubborn Nigeria ruler is assassinated by powers that be, OBJ was always a "go to" man for the neo colonialists, as it was for Mutala, so was it for Abacha.


We all saw how Awo schemes to emerge president ended up with him committing suicide, we are watching Tinubu. Don't take yourselves seriously, cos no one else does.

You have bigger issues than Ndiigbo,go solve them and stop coming here to talk you trash.

I am not a Nigerian. I do not even live in Africa. I am bemused and astonished by the way Igbos are regarded and treated in this forum, and in the nigerian politics. I always ask my dear friend Johnydon22, if this enmity reflects in the real life of nigerians.

How can this be? Why would a region with such huge potential and proud people, be completely marginalized, under the monitoring - and sometimes pleasure - of other tribes? I am completely amazed.

I understand there was an attempt to secede from Nigeria and form Biafra. Is it the reason for such hatred and marginalization? In Germany where I live, and many other european countries, there are regions who want(ed) to secede. it has never led to such pitiless horrible tribalistic policy against those regions. Whether it is Scotland, Bayern, Catalogne, L'ile de corse (in France) and so many others. I have lived in several european and african countries. In ALL of them they were always groups and tribes who at some point in time wanted to secede. But I have never witnessed, such systematic organised marginalization of those groups, under the watch of the rest of the population.

Worst still, Igbos, as I perceive it, are neither welcomed to stay in Nigeria, nor allowed to to go away and have their Biafra. What nonsense is that? It has gotten to the point, even igboic tribes are fighting here to claim they are not igbos, as if being Igbo is a curse...
Even people who I somehow admire, like my Chief Sukkot, are day in day out insulting the tribe...

I know Igbos have their flaws. But what on earth could justify such common behavior? I think, the igbo problem, is the single problem between Nigeria and Greatness.

I am not a nigerian, nor am I a specialist of nigeria. But i have been in Nairaland for a very long time, and I silently scrutinize most trending threads almost every day since 2010 (reading is my forte).

Please Plaetton, Hahn, Sonofluc1fer, stephenmorris, jackbizzle, Bigfrancis21, Johnydon22, Hardmirror, Benodic, Sarassin, Deepsight, Mrpresident and others, do enlighten me.

Greetings

The answer you seek is complex. It's true that the only uniting factors for Nigerians are football and common shared hatred/ suspicion of the Igbo man.

The foundation for Igbo current condition in Nigeria was laid in 1970, when this quote was made:

"The war aim and (final) solution properly
speaking of the entire problem, is to
discriminate against the Igbos and in their
own interest. Such discrimination would
include above all the detachment of those
oil-rich territories in the Eastern Region,
in addition, the Igbos' freedom of
movement would be restricted, to prevent
their renewed penetration into other parts,
leaving any access to the sea to the
Igbos, is quite out of the question,
"(Federal Nigerian Minister speaking to E.
C. Schwarzenback, Swiss Review of
Africa, February 1968).



Successive Nigerian govt had stuck to that policy, and Igbo elected( selected) politicians had played along to marginalize their own people just as long as they receive crumbs from the FG for themselves and their immediate families. The only miracle here is that despite the fact that these politicians had sold out the region, they still receive support of the Igbo grass roots and commoners, which leaves one wondering what sort of people the Igbos are.

Our political class can't speak for us, because they like all Nigerian politicians are corrupt and had fed off the public fund, but unlike other regions, there is a conspiracy against their( Igbo region) that must be challenged by them( the Igbo political class) but it remains a universal truth that he who comes for justice must come with clean hands.
These Igbo politicians are all corrupt from A to Z, non is clean, and those who control the FG has all their corrupt deals with them, with which they continuously use to blackmail them from speaking against institutionalized marginalization of their people and whip them in line into silence. So they can't challenge the injustice against their own people without being destroyed.

Their( Ndiigbo)people who should know better and vote the old eggs out of power in exchange for New breeds that can't be blackmailed know no better, they even praise the corrupt leaders to the chagrin of other Nigerians, they (Ndiigbo) had refused to look in ward's to see that their problem is an internal one, that once the internal enemies( the corrupt political class) are radically voted and pushed out of power by a new order, that not only can they challenge the institutionalized marginalization against them
by the Nigerian state, they can also take their destiny into their hands.

In the final analysis, the Igbo commoners take solace in the cheaper alternative ie resurrection of Biafra, for Biafra represents a period in their history in which they fought against forces bent on rulling over them, Biafra on the other hand evokes more hatred on the heart of Nigerians against Ndiigbo for myriads of reasons, who now feel that Igbo marginalization is justified since they had constituted themselves enemies of Nigeria, they reason it's only logical that the Igbo be marginalized for her own benefits and be beaten if necessary into submission and total allegiance for the Nigerian state, where the post civil war central policy will be continuously be applied on them.

. I am not a stranger to these acts of marginalisation to the SE and I suppose these are the kind of things we should lament about. But on this issue of actualising the Mambilla dam, the LAgos to Kano rail and the Calabar to Lagos rail, I totally have no qualms; this is my personal opinion though.


And right here in your impish mind. You are trying to make a devil out of Ndiigbo, for crying out for fairness, justice and equity.

You are trying to subconsciously and subtly bend our cry for equity, fairness and Justice to take the form of bitterness, jealousy and hate.

You are trying to make it sound like Ndiigbo are against the FG plans to site projects in Taraba, SW,SS,NW and Abuja, like we are not happy that those projects are sited there, like we don't know that those projects will not only benefit the host community but also the entire Nigerians.

When in actuality, what Ndiigbo are saying is that those similar projects in spirit of equity, fairness and Justice be also sited in our region,so that it will benefit both us and other Nigerians.

understand that the SE has been unfairly marginalised by successive admins for decades, I understand the Onitsha-Enugu roads, the PH-Enugu roads,the PH-Owerri road have no reason being the disaster they are today, I understand the SE was terribly cheated by the PPP tolling arrangement on the 2nd Niger Bridge, ironically this evil was perpetrated by a supposed friend of the SE (GEJ), I remember lamenting this PPP arrangement on this forum sometime in 2014 when it was first announced but I was shouted down by some dumb persons who claimed I was just a GEJ hater and didn't want the SE zone to progress (a very foolish allegation from people who had no clue who I was).


No, you don't understand anything. You are only being annoyingly cunning.

What you are trying to subtly imply here is that since the region had been shortchanged since 1970, without massive out cry from the people, there shouldn't be reason for massive out cry now that your principal( Buhari) is about to continue the tradition of shortchanging the SE invented by his predecessors. You expect us to understand and take it on the chin without complaints.

Also, the Lagos to Kano standard rail and the Calabar to Lagos standard rail are very important projects which have been in the books for over a very long time; I agree that the Calabar to LAgos rail passes only a single SE city, but then, I would be very glad if this projects are actualised. Maybe if they can be actualised, then the spur from Benin-Asaba-Onitsha-Awka-Enugu may also be completed one day.

Oh yes! The ever infinity waiting game. How long does the SE has to wait.

So a whopping 18.3 billion is to be spent across the entire country, and the region wasn't considered worthy of having even 1billion invested on it. A region that was devastated by civil war and not a dime set aside to re develop it, will have to wait, while regions that had enjoyed massive investments by the FG for the past 4 decades are once again first in line, and you expect this to go down well, on the promise that in am infinite future, a similar project MAY be sited on the region, while the other regions will still get lion share during those infinite future.

You are not in any bit making any sense. But I don't blame you.

HonabFaj:
On thursady the President and the state minister of petroleum launched a $10 billion infrastructural rebirth investment programmes in the Niger Delta region.
The launched policy document is couched in ‘The 7 Big Wins,’ theme, which borders on policy and regulation, business environment and investment drive, gas revolution, refineries and local production capacity, Niger Delta and security, transparency and efficiency, as well as stakeholder management and international co-ordination.
He said each time he projected a rise in the country’s oil production to 2.2 million barrels per day (mbpd) and 3mbpd, they were based on the fact that the JV structure had been reviewed and funding issues sorted out.

ANd sorry if it pains you so much that an Igbo man has chosen not to tow your retrogressive line of thought.

If it pains you so much that a person like me exists, you know exactly what to do to end your misery. GD night

So says the Afonja impostor whose idea of progressive thought for Ndiigbo is justification of the plan of the FG to totally ignore the region in a 18.3 billion infrastructural investment plan. While the rest of the 5 regions gets to enjoy such infrastructural investment with the multiplier effects that come with them

Ofcourse, such Igbos like you only exists in Ijebu-Igbo.

And where is the common sense in your write up? Cause all I see is load of faeces coming from a non Igbo posturing as Igbo.

18.3billion was to be spent on infrastructures and not one of those to be invested in SE, except one meant for SS that scraped through the southern tip of Abia, and in your warped logic, there is explaining of this away?

Do you even listen to yourself.

Yes, your last Statement is true. But sometimes, some reactions must be catalyzed to reach the end product at a shorter period, otherwise, it might still reach the end product, but might take a century to do so.

What you can do? You can start by enlightening Ndiigbo around you. Awake the sleeping ones amongst us. It might seem little, but a match can create an inferno, all it needs is to properly applied on the right material.

You think they don't know this? everyone among them " na sharp guy " what you are advocating will require a lot sacrifice and " mumuism " which non of them is prepared for.
No be this country we dey watch as they pull each other down because of selfish interests and personal ego?, ordinary senate president position na so dem dey drag am among themselves.
The Yoruba's who made sacrifices for their brothers to get recognition are called mumu, lets see how Igbos will organize themselves without the greater majority among them playing mumu.

Now this is the type of grand posturing by Afonjas that irritate me.

Where were the Yoruba leaders and Obas who were supposed to make sacrifices for Abiola, but instead collected money from IBB and betrayed him?

Where was Jakande and his greedy Yoruba leaders that connived and exposed Awolowo secrets to IBB? Where was the sacrifice?

Is Tinubu not being currently cut to size by Yoruba betrayals, where then is the sacrifice from Yorubas?

When Yorubas were given the speaker slot, how many speakers did they produce? Were they not all fighting themselves over the slot?

Where was the sacrifice when Tinubu and his band of Yoruba scavengers in AC connived and ganged up against a Yoruba sister, Mulikat, by denying her the speaker position PDP allocated to her, and instead, they( Tinubu and his gang of Yoruba Hyenas) decided to lick the Northern ass of Tambuwal, only to turn around in future to accuse PDP and GEJ of marginalizing the region?
Where was the Yoruba Sisterhood sacrifice for Mulikat?


Why is it that Yorubas are yet to remove the log of wood in their eyes, but it's always the pebble in the Igbo eyes that give them headaches . What' wrong with you people?

"What exactly has happened?... that the FG decides to borrow money to build a 3050mw hydro power dam which has been in the planning stage since 1981 and which has the capacity to almost double Nigeria's power generating capacity?"

I noticed the OP keep repeating the above line, in attempt to subtly imply that the project was not a new one, but an old and abandoned one, and as there are no such old and abandoned ones in SE, the SE should accept it.

It's almost like saying: "Hey, since mambila hydro project was sited in NE in
1981 and no serious project was sited in SE then, it's enough reason ignoring SE again is cool, since it's already a tradition started in 1981".

Seriously, is this OP for real?

The poverty index trash I had debunked time and time again here.
It wasn't even conducted by the UN, but by Oxford university, who probably collected their data from the same NBS that said that Anambra state has a higher poverty index than Niger state.

I will always be around to debunk those your stats, any day any time.

obailala:
Obviously this one did not read the original report (he read only the title and comments), he did not read what I wrote or did not comprehend a thing I wrote. He's just stuck in the typical retrogressive paranoid mentality of 'FG is marginalising my place.'

Sir, I have not a single iota of hate in my heart for anyone, I only have lots of common and rational sense and more. I have also learnt to put meaningless sentiments aside when judging issues because I know these sentiments don't help nobody but only keeps one in perpetual bondage.

I asked a simple question, if the FG completes the 35 years old Mambilla hydro power dam project and injects 3050mw of electricity into the national grid, will it benefit only the people of Taraba state seeing that the project is located in the Mambilla mountains of Taraba?... Must a project of such nature be located in your village before you accept it is a good project and not unfair?...

Secondly, as the topic says the SE was excluded from all projects, don't you think this is just a sensational title, A LIE also, which is meant to arouse a feeling of resentment and sadness in people like you?.... There wer 4 main infrastructural projects listed; the Lagos to Kano rail, the Lagos to Calabar rail (which crosses the SE), the Mambilla dam and the Abuja city rail, kindly tell me which of these projects is specific to any particular zone of tribe and kindly tell me which of these projects isn't beneficial to the SE?

Finally, almost than half of the total money was planned for Agricultural support, education and health support, budget support and Eurobonds. Kindly tell me how you came to the conclusion that these projects exclude the SE?... Can't you just see the point that the author is sensationally trying to deceive you and make you feel bad?...

Stop talking trash. The rail doesn't cut across south East. It touched the tail end of Abia state. That's not Good enough and will never be acceptable.

If the FG build another railway line that transverses throughout the major SE cities on its way to Lagos or Abuja, will not benefit the Rest of other Nigerians?
Will only SEners use it? Will other Nigerians not make use of the rail? Are there no other Nigerians living in the SE?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander too.

No North Central state was mentioned but some with pass through North Central so what's the problem? The routes only show the start and end stations.

SE would happily welcome to host the capital of Nigeria as NC had done with commensurate capital that Nigeria had poured on Abuja poured into this new Capital to be hosted by SE.

You are not a wise person. That train route totally avoided the SE only touching the periphery.

After reading this and all the comments in this thread i was so sad.

God turn the above news and actions of the Nigerian President, Buhari to the favour of The Igbos and Igboland.

God if the actions of the Federal Government of Nigeria unto the Igbo, South Easterners is justified, then remain silent. But, if it is not justified, then God stand and show the whole nation that you are still God.

God if the actions and all the actions of the Federal Government of Nigeria unto Igbo people are justified, then GOD remain silent but if it is not the Oh God turn the above news to Igbo people's favour.

God can not do for man, what man. must do for himself.

If Israelis sat waiting for God, they wouldn't be where they are now, the Arabs would have devoured them.

Relegating problems with practical solutions for God is not the forte of the wise men,


Our house is not in order. We need a total clean up of all the political jobbers representing us in Abuja, and the governors. How can such injustice be perpetrated against a region they claim to represent and not a single dust raised by them, how do you explain this?
Who do they represent? because obviously, it's not Ndiigbo. If it be true that they don't represent us, why then do we still have Obiano, Ekwerewmmadu, Gburugburu, Ikpeazu, Umahi, Abaribe, etc supporters in our midst.

Isn't it obvious that those political jobbers had failed the region?
Our problem is a practical one, not a spiritual one. We need a radical in-house cleaning. This next election should provide us with that platform, but I'm in tears when I remember that the youth wing IPOB/MASSOB who should usher this paradigm shift are as delusional and clueless as they come and can't seem to set their priorities right.

It's a pathetic situation Ndiigbo found ourselves in, my heart bleeds just thinking of it.

COMPAQ:
I don't see any scripted plan anywhere Bros. Asides Road, which mega project is there in SE that we have been unable to fund of recent? Mambilla is a project we have known of for decades. Lagos rail makes sense as it has 40% of Nigeria GDP. Kano kaduna makes sense also. Kano is a huge commercial town too and distances in the north are much larger than in the east. And they are poorer up there and have less vehicular traffic. Don't forget a lot of Agricultural produce comes from up north. No insults please! Just put your views across like a mature adult o!

If there are no mega projects in the SE, it's because the FG never started one. So because SE was deprived of those mega projects, is now a justification not to start one?

As for the Agricultural myth. Nigeria is a net importer of most of its food needs. The SE is doing good agriculturally, and there are stats to back this up.

If the North has huge landmass, then it's their albatross to carry, as the same landmass had ensured they got more federal allocations and the SE lesser and lesser farmlands to their natives, as opposed to more for the North, the SE must not be made the bear the blunt of the North landmass, when she also bears the blunt of her own smaller landmass with its attendant population density and Erosions from human pressure.

The larger distances in the North should be a disadvantage to them in this case, while those of SE should for once be its advantage, as the North will require more funds for roads than the SE.

Aba and Onitsha are bubbling Commercial centres with Urgent needs, Aba in particular, and Enugu is a standard city, so I fail to see why we should be shortchanged for Kano.
