Then the name should be changed from ECOWAS to ECONWAS. North and west African countries.
N.B: Looks like another north and west alliance.
We are also leaving this contraption called Africa.but we will take southafrica with us.

You needed to see the way one policeman nearly shot me at that awada area. I was just returning from kaduna with my load after service, infact herdsmen in army uniform waylaid us at okene and robbed us blind. The kabukabu i entered with my load was even on credit, i was going to collect money from my granny and pay him when we go to the village, we were just coming out of the garrage when one trigger happy policeman stopped us at awada area. The guy was at best unhinged and at worst drunk. He was just ordering me here and there, shouting on top of his voice as if i was ever going to settle him sef, he becamr angry when i was just looking at him like a lunatic despite all his bragado. That was when he cocked his gun and trained it on me. God, that day is unforgettable. All he had to do was pull his trigger and i would be gone.

Maybe you are talking about producing tools for skull mining.

Portharcourt local govt is jointly owned by ikwerre and ijaw people.. All these old stories dont cut in.

even if PH is jointly owned by Ikwere and Ijaw, is there no boundary where Ikwerre parts ends and where Ijaw parts begins?

House of Representatives was again thrown into a rowdy session on Thursday, forcing a hasty adjournment of proceedings .
The cause of the rowdiness was the rejection of a bill seeking to establish a South - East Development Commission
The bill failed at the session , which was presided over by the Speaker, Mr . Yakubu Dogara, after it had been debated.
A similar bill to establish the North- East Development Commission had since been passed by the National Assembly, awaiting the assent of President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, South - East lawmakers immediately protested the decision on the grounds that the House could have, at least , allowed the bill to pass the second reading for more views to be collated from Nigerians at a public hearing.
Tension had built up in the House since Wednesday when the bill was billed to be moved for second reading .
However, it was stepped down on Wednesday because the lead sponsor and Deputy Minority Leader of the House , Mr . Chukwuka Onyeama, was unavailable in the chambers .
He returned soon after the bill was stood down.
The bill was re -listed for Thursday ( yesterday) , but again , Onyeama was unavailable just as the bill was to be taken and it had to be stood down a second time in line with the rules of proceedings .
But South -East lawmakers began a loud protest, insisting that the bill must be taken.
In the midst of the rowdiness , Onyeama reappeared in the chambers, just like he did on Wednesday after the bill had been stood down.
Dogara had to bend backwards to approve a motion for the rescission of the earlier ruling stepping down the bill .
The speaker said , “ Let me clarify that it was not as if the bill was stopped . The sponsor of the bill was not around and we followed the rules to step it down.
“ Now that he is here , we will take it. Nobody will shut out anybody because we don’ t have the right to do that. ”
Dogara calmed frayed nerves and opened debate on the bill.
Onyeama, while leading the debate , said the South - East geopolitical zone needed the commission to develop collapsed infrastructure and the damage suffered by the zone as a result of the Nigerian Civil War .
“ The war led to massive destruction of critical infrastructure in the region , including roads, houses and environmental degradation , ” he said .
Onyeama added that the region was worst -hit by erosion and other ecological problems.
The lawmaker stated that the commission would be funded from seven sources.
The first is through “ 15 per cent” of the total monthly statutory allocations due to member states of the commission from the Federation Account.
The second source, he explained, would be from “ three per cent ” of the total budget of any oil - producing company operating onshore and offshore in the South - East states , including gas processing companies.
The third source is from “ three per cent ” of the total annual budget of any solid mineral extracting or mining company operating in the South - East.
The fourth source will come through “ 50 per cent ” of money due to member states of the commission from the Ecological Fund.
Five to seven of the funding sources are ” Such monies as may , from time to time , be granted or lent to or be deposited with the commission by the Federal Government or a state government , any other body or institution , whether local or foreign.
All monies raised for the purpose of the commission by way of gifts , loans, grants - in-aid , testamentary disposition or otherwise .
“ Proceeds from all other assets that may , from time to time , accrue to the commission. ”
All South - East members , who spoke , including Mr . Uzoma Nkem- Abonta, Mr . Henry Nwawuba and Mr . Toby Okechukwu, said they gave “ 100 per cent ” backing to the bill.
For instance , Nkem- Abonta argued that he believed the bill was the solution to the renewed agitation for the Republic of Biafra .
“ We have to stop the crisis that is building up in the South - East before it turns into something else, ” he said .
Members from the South -South , led by the Minority Leader , Mr . Leo Ogor , also supported the bill .
“ Every zone deserves a commission because this country needs to be restructured. We cannot continue this way, ” Ogor told the House .
Mr . Kehinde Agboola , who spoke for the South -West, said , “ History will not forgive us if today we fail to support this bill. ”
However, trouble started when all the lawmakers from the North spoke against the bill .
Members from North -West , North- East and North- Central , all opposed the bill .
For example , Mr . Mohammed Sani -Abdu opposed the bill on the grounds that it was a move to “ divide Nigeria in piecemeal. ”
He observed that coming soon after the government was trying to address the devastation caused by Boko Haram in the North -East, the timing of the bill was wrong .
Sani -Abdu recalled that after the civil war ended in 1970, government made concerted efforts to rebuild the South -East and re -integrate the people into the rest of Nigeria .
He argued that funding of the commission, using “ three per cent” of the annual budget of oil companies operating in the South - East was indirect funding by the Federal Government .
Another member from the North, Mr . Karimi Sunday , said some South - East states were already benefiting from the funding of the Niger Delta Development Commission by the oil companies.
“ Are we going to ask the same oil companies to fund the South - East Development Commission again ?
“ Are we saying that every zone should come up with its own development commission?” he asked .
When Dogara put the bill to a voice vote , he ruled in favour of those rejecting the commission. For clarity purpose , he called the votes twice before bringing down his gavel .
But South -East lawmakers began another round of protests as Dogara handed over proceedings to the Deputy Speaker, Mr . Yussuff Lasun , and left the chambers .
Lasun quickly adjourned the House as the rowdiness worsened.
Outside the chambers, South -East lawmakers continued the protest.
Onyeama threatened that he would resign his position as a leader of the House .
“ I am a leader in this House ; you can’ t just kill my bill like that. I will resign , ” he fumed.
Another member from Abia State , Mrs. Nkiruka Onyejeocha , said her colleagues were not happy that the bill was rejected.
“ At least , they could have passed it for second reading .
“ At the committee stage , more work could have been done on it to remove the grey areas, ” she said .
One member from Rivers State , Boma Goodhead , joined in the protest, saying the North was not fair to the South - East.

“ They are using our oil money to address the issue of Boko Haram . Now , they are against this bill . It is not fair, ” she shouted and walked away angrily.

Just imagine !! three southern regions favoured the bill, 3 northern region went against it, yet the northern region got their way, over a bill that does not even concern their region.

NO INYA OKU THERE.

Let me go and be coming first

Yansh dey pain a lot of muzzies of this thread. I feel ur pains like a father.

Every nation has the inalienable right to deport all illegal immigrants from its territory. In fact, Nigeria will have the right to build a huge, lengthy, southern border WALL to protect itself from Igbo immigrants, just as Trump is doing in America to keep out the Mexicans.

we are counting on that. Keeps us safe from Fulaniherdsmen and Skull miners.

Ikenna0b:
Very true.

I wish others will ignore their attention seeking. Like a typical wh0re, they'll seek another Avenue to get their fix

it is very naive of you guys to be advocating ignoring these hydraulics.

Just recently, their propaganda was that a cow was named Buhari. if you let these guys be, they will formulate all manner of lies against you, such that even you will doubt your innocence.

This generation of Igbos knows better than let their lies go unchallenged, and they lie effortlessly and with inhuman gusto as well.

Until we get our biafra, eternal vigilance is the watch word.
