deomelo:



You mean you Igbos don't pay taxes, you are anti social, you are lawless, you care not performing your civic obligations and you steal from yourselves.

Why are you disgracing yourself.?

And you wonder why your states a re poor like dirt, why you have the lowest budgets in Nigeria and why your incompetent village governors can not build or commission any project

Ok why not transfer 90 percent of your money to wasteful politicians / government so that you can have even bigger IGR?

Awolowo “free” education has cost you dearly

EvilMetahuman:
amen.


more poor people fall on south east.

let them generate less than boko haram ravaged north east. iseee

Low IGR means we keep more of our money. You and your high IGR yet your debt profile is up to your neck.

That said, the China of Africa (Aba) or the Japan of Africa (Nnewi) will remain blessed.

EvilMetahuman:
explain to us how northwest that is about 1000 miles away from nearest sea port is shitting all over south east?



why must parasites have excuse?

I hope the IGR for the Eastern region is even less. We only need govt for police, army, judiciary and a few other services.

kayfra:


Revenue is socialism. LMAO

Wetin man no go hear for nairaland. So the northern states that are equally unproductive as yours are capitalists?


Buhaha

Yes Socialism means big government taxing and wasting resources. Ariaria market traders association (the China of Africa) or Onitsha market traders association Generate more revenue than Ekiti state.

kayfra:



So the productivity of the flat headed ones is literally half of Omoluabi's even when you remove our crown jewel (Lagos)!!!

You didn't even factor Kwara

Diaris God o!!!


We need our own country

See this Cone head.
IGR does not mean productivity. It only means socialism which means big govt & high tax. Pls when was the last time Osun paid her govt workers??

We Igbos are republicans and capitalist. We like small govt and low tax.

Honor10:
.

Shut up! ode! the IGR is still higher, is it not?
that is the highest IGR in ur useless regions o, it is still lower than the states with 3rd position in IGR in SW.

when I become a senator, I will sponsor a bill to annex all that useless 5 tiny states and convert it to a single state, the allocation those states are receiving is useless, even Niger states alone has more land area than the 5 States combined, so I don't see the reason why it shouldn't become a single state, and stop sucking allocation needed for viable states.

Last I checked there are 7 State Capitals in Igboland- PH to Enugu to Abakaliki to Asaba etc. Also, so - called big Lagos IGR means that Lagosians (not Yoruba) but Lagosians are taxed to death just to pay the Big Debts.
In terms of human capital development which is what matters, the Igbos are doing okay, we still live in our houses not underneath bridge or red roofs

Olawalesmarter:
So they have Good Father after all

The difference is that Yoruba are socialists and will revere and bow down to leaders. We the Igbo are capitalists and republicans and that is why Okorocha failed totally. That said elections are expensive so you need sponsors.

Ginalex:
ASwear down, the anambrarian superiority mentality is so very annoying

Nwanne, easy bikoo nothing to do with superiority complex. Just money and politics. Omambala just has more money and the most billionaires that can sponsor elections in Igboland and that is why within 24hrs Ihedioha visited the man that made things possible for him. Same Arthur gave Obiano billion naira Cheque on TV for re-election. Same goes to Ebonyi. IMO is the Igbo heartland no doubt but it is ultimately a civil service town like Enugu, so not too much money.

If you look outside Igboland. Look at the Kwara Governor elect visiting Tinubu in under 24 hours. It is just money and politics my brother

Rochas Okorowusa trying to replicate Lagos here forgetting that IMO state is The heartland of the Igbos.

Congratulations to the man USMAN
Hard work pays. Proud of you!

JasonScoolari:
No Love Lost!!!

I wanna use this medium to thank the citizens of Oyo, Ondo and Plateau for the overwhelming support, I felt it sincerely. You guys have my respect from now henceforth.

God bless you.
God bless the PDP.

Seconded.

Oricha79:
maybe olanishakin is a northerner too...I weak for this people.

He has no real direct command.
Is he the COAS?

naptu2:


Yes, northern faces like Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas.

That one is out in the water. Are they doing election in the water ? No. So he is correct. Only northern faces

Thunder fire that Kangaroo court.
After Dangote pays taxes then Tinubu then we talk.
God Bless Okocha

Scandinavian02:
After Zik Memorial day, we will now have:

Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Day

Dr. Obafemi Awolowo Memorial Day

Alhaji Tafawa Balewa Memorial Day

Alhaji Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola Memorial Day

Ken Saro Wiwa Memorial Day

Isaac Boro Memorial Day

and on and on. . .

That is how you igbos cause problem for our dear country.

Note: I am neither Hausa/Fulani nor Yoruba

There is only one ZIK OF AFRICA.

Nnamdi Azikiwe has Major roads named after him in likes of the capital of far away African country of Tanzania for a reason. Maybe go to his mausoleum and learn about the legend that freed you from Britain first and then come here and hate.

The people that you mentioned are local politicians or activists. Not African statesman stature like ZIK

Thank you Baba Obasanjo

TKO
Game over for the lifeless dullard and his herdsmen

engreddy:


The day you achieve what Mr. President has achieved in his life, then you will earn the right to call him a disgrace.

What did he achieve? Coup plotter?

Buhari is a govt baby his whole life. Always living in govt house and eating govt food.

Mere barrow pushers have achieved more than him bc they have survived without govt.

SternProphet:


He is a looks stern, spartan and does not have you people's weakness which is thinking of your stomach first. This Buhari's secind term will change Nigeria. All the soft, corrupt decadence will be pressed out like dross. If your nurture is to steal, loot and cheat to take care of your needs your life will be hell between 2019 and 2023.
The most painful part will be that you can't avoid it and there is nothing you can do agpbout it.
There is the path of hardwork, discipline and prayer. Take it

Shettap. We are seeing one thing and you are here spewing another rubbish. Jubrin is a confirmed Arabic Sudanese clown. He only promotes his fellow Islamic Arabs despite the fact that they are less qualified.

Anyways, my joy is that long term the chicken will come home to roost

What is this one doing in Igboland? Back to sender pls

emmysoftyou:
they are not up to a state but their population is more than the state...

The population of ndigbo does not end in the whole south east state..

Don't forget after the population of each state in Nigeria igbo came 2nd ...

If you don't understand..

Jikwese Nwanne..

Why waste time with that one ?
The North is hot Sahel.
Dry useless desert land and boko Haram.

Siberia is also big but do they live better than Switzerland?

Kanurii:


Why are you talking like this guy!!?

Do you think its only Northerners that work for Inec or The Southerners there are just there to look.

Buhari niece is in command
Useless zoo

The entire population of Niger Republic is 20 million.

Inec Counting little boys & diseased cattles in the poor arid sparsely populated desert North North Nigeria pretending like that desert region have more people than coastal South?

Fake news everywhere

Rigging preparations more like

Anybody that votes for APCheats can expect to become the next job loss victim

LastDance:
This is not about igbo.
They are Nigerians and are all legends in Nigeria entertainment industry.
We as Nigerians are proud of them.
stop relating everyone to tribalism.
How can Nigeria grow as one when everywhere on Nairaland is filled with Igbo amaka.

The truth must be told, The yorubas, the Hausas and those from south south will not in anywhere be found shouting and praising their notable men and women on nairaland.
It is the igbos that are fond of shouting igbo amaka all over Nairaland, thereby indirectly promoting tribalism.

The truth is bitter but the igbos online or some igbos online are tribal nuisance.

You are still the reason why tribalism grows in nairaland.

I am from delta state and i am not blind to see that the yorubas and hausas are more loving and free of tribalism, unlike the igbos.

You all need to change for a better Nigeria.

Go and drink 3 cups of water and after you shout:
IGBO AMAKA three times.

life2017:
5 southerners 4 Northerners

unfair to North.

Go and count the service chiefs ratio. I think it is 16 Northerns to : 2 Southerners. Hence the incompetence we see

michlins:
I hate these charades. Governance is serious business. Stop all these playing to the gallery

Oya go and become governor first and then show us

EzeIgbo Ojukwu

Continue to Rest In Peace bc your People - the Pride of the Black Race are on course

Juliusmalema:



In simple explanation


Ur ethnicity is anioma same way my ethnicity is igbo.

And pls and pls remove onitsha from any damned history.

Anambra of which onitsha is a region has no link or sharing with u guys....

Omambala has gone far for such distorted history and new records needs to be set.

The Niger bridge is enough demarcation.

Anioma was merely coined from local govts. Greater Asaba is 200 % IGBO. Besides Anioma is IGBO for good land. Anyways, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, with his red cap has spoken. If you are soo pained reread his post.

Igbo Amaka
Afonja Ajoka

dingbang:
Why do Igbos like to claim..

Asaba founded by IGBO woman NNEBISI is an Igbo Town. If you don’t like it go and drink petrol

resurgent2019:


The South South is not igbo speaking so keep off. The Nigerian Government should not show mercy this time if you guys try nonsense. A brutal assault will be tolerated to ward off your land annexation antics.

So -called South South is 40 percent Igbo to begin with. Besides Edo and oshomonkey who can choose to be with the mudslimes if they want, the rest are Indigenous Biafrans whom Nigeria has branded 5 percent.

resurgent2019:
Python keee you there!

The Nigerian Government should however leave these people alone, grant them a referendum and expel them from all parts of Nigeria.

Their wahala is too much. We can give them the 5 eastern states and continue with the country. They should just be confined to their states for the sake of peace Abeg.

11 States
