If you don't understand the topic, exit the thread, the topic is about IGR in Nigeria, so why are you asking irrelevant question about IGR in South Africa? You don't know how to read or what?

Simdyofficial:

You can counter it but not insult the ones that just had an observation

Well, the North may wallow in underdevelopment but they are NOT the reasons why Osun, Ekiti, Delta, Anambra, Bayelsa ,Abia and all Southern States haven't developed as they should.


What are the majority of the people in the above named States doing that can catapult their States into the ranks of developed world in the next 5-10years?

Simdyofficial:
The KANU you are mentioning is 100% better than your mentor in head slamming and General overseer of rapist, Mohammed history will not forgive him for bringing up terror loving children

AlexBells:
How do I know you, if you don't allow contrary opinion but resort to insult on people for having an opinion, how far do you think you can go when you think people must ascribe to your fantasies to seem sensible what right do you have to judge someone ignorant that's the most closest word I can use to qualify the infographic you used in the context and I tell you I'm more Biafran than you but I I don't subscribe to face saving propaganda

plaindealer:
The topic is about IGR in Nigeria, not in South Africa.

If you are going to compare, compare Kano with SE states. Kano's IGR is larger than the whole of SE, face your precarious situation in Nigeria and stop lamenting over a foreign country.

AlexBells:
If Biafra ever comes in our time, I shall still cap the highest rank and you would be recognized as the one with the most clueless insult lol, and still in Nigeria I shall make my mark, I'm prepared for life whatsoever

oyatz:
What percentage of the citizens of Nigeria act and work with the right ethics like the citizens of South Africa do?


No country develops on its own. Their citizens make the countries what they are.

AlexBells:
It is 10th November, I guess there is supposed to be a Court Appearance of Nnamdi Kanu today but unlike before in Nairaland and other places there seems an unnatural calm.

Honestly IPOB suffered some set back with the Anambra election which depleted the camp but the tempo MUST be sustained, so that Kanu remains relevant until 2023/2024.

The shabby cancellation of the sit at home did not go well with many ranking IPOB interest this had depleted confidence and the overwhelming fire power and security presence in Anambra had further improved the people's confidence in the East that we may jettison sit at home orders further.

There is imminent disarray in the camp of high ranking IPOB members however the morale of the Nigerian law enforcement seems to be improving especially after the incoming governor of Anambra had signalled a support in morale of security officials as he dedicated his victory to 3 slain police officers.

People like us don't give up even when it seems like everything is collapsing under our feet we keep sitting on the Fence and Keep asking FG, if you had decided that fair hearing would not be observed then be fair in your actions while we wish both parties all the best.

Personally I wish President Buhari should reach out to IPOB members ensure them that Kanu is fine but I personally don't advice the release of Kanu right away, even IPOB as a body had gone really sour that Kanu maybe disappointed if he is out now, FG should keep him safe for now, if you ask me, Kanu is in a good hands.

plaindealer:
Kaduna is also one of the top 5 IGR states so who gave Kaduna ports and suppressed other states to give Kaduna larger IGR than 31 states in Nigeria?

Kano at number 7 nko? Who gave Kano seaport to give them more IGR than the whole of SE?

You are not helping yourself by playing the victim and coming up with lame and bogus excuses to gloss over your poor states and incompetent leaders.

wallrichy:
One eye man is the king in the land of the blinds.. That's the story of Lagos State..You said it all....No states in Nigeria is doing well at all while the Nigeria as a country has become a regional entanglement of Fulanis and their Hausas slaves. I really wish this country will work but wishes aren't horses for beggar to ride anyway.

Gunmen suspected to be members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the militant wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Tuesday afternoon engaged joint security operatives in a gun battle in Ihiala Local Government Area.

The attack came as the supplementary governorship election holding in Ihiala was under way.

It was gathered that the the gunmen were seeking to enter Ihiala through Imo State, as Mbosi and Orsumoghu where the attack happened are border towns with communities in Imo State.

THISDAY reporter who was covering the supplementary governorship election in Ihiala ran into a barricade set up by joint security operatives at Mbosi/Orsumoghu junction.

The joint security operatives comprising mobile policemen, Army, Navy and other security agencies stopped journalists, and after a brief search, turned the journalists back, disclosing that a gun battle was ongoing ahead.

Two unidentified police men and a soldier who spoke to our reporter said: “You have to go back for your own good. For three hours now, we have been exchanging fire with your IPOB brothers.

“Our men are in the bush now, and it will be risky for you to take this route,” the security operatives advised journalists.

When THISDAY reached the Anambra State commissioner of police, CP Echeng Eworo, he refused to confirm the development, asking that the reporter should call back later.

THISDAY also noticed a team of security men loaded in 10 Hilux vans, heading to Mbosi/Orsumoghu junction as reinforcement, as of the time of filing this report.

contigiency:
Igbos pride themselves as the most educated, enlightened and exposed ethnic nationality in Nigeria. They do not hide their notion that other regions especially the Hausa/fulanis are backward in terms of their thinking and their socio political engagement.

The last weekend gubanatorial election in Anambra State has, as in the past, exposed the Igbos as rather direct opposite of the qualities they attribute to themselves, especially judging by their political maturity.

The Fulanis have on the other hand, shown that when looking for a leader of their choice, political party platform is immaterial when compared with the quality they are looking for. This they have exhibited on several occasions. The case of president buhari is still fresh how the Fulanis have on several occasions voted him in their millions irrespective of the political platform. The height of the point is when buhari formed CPC within 7 months to a general election, and still went ahead to ganner above 12 million votes in a general election. This proves that they vote individuals and not a political party.

The above scenario cannot be said about the Igbos because, on several occasions, they have chosen to prefer and voted for political party rather than the quality of the individual. It is still fresh in the memories how on two occasions, the Igbos ignored and abandoned the almighty Ojukwu to his fate on the two different occasions he contested for the presidency of Nigeria. It was so bad that he came a distant second in his state of Anambra. The same measure he was given in the entire Igbo states, because they choose PDP as a party not the quality of the party flag bearer.

Other few examples include when buhari ran on joint tickets with two different prominent Igbos in the persons of the late Dr Chuba Okadigbo and Edwin Umezuoke in 2003 and 2007 respectively. On those two occasions, the Igbos also chose PDP and abandoned these their brothers to their fates. Of recent, Kingsley Muoghalu and Obi Ezekwesili, contested, none was able to win a single political ward not even their own.

Coming to the just concluded Anambra State, the fact that Dr Maduka got a mere 1,793 votes, highlights, the point this article is talking about. What it means is that, even Dr Maduka's kinsmen chose to vote APGA and not the man who has single handedly, transformed their community. A man who has given numerous scholarships and empowerment to numerous households in his community and beyond. I stand to be corrected, the candidate of APGA Soludo has no record of reaching out to the needs of others, not even when he was the governor of Centeral bank. That shows that the choice of Dr Maduka's kinsmen was primarily for a political party and not the individual who has been their benefactor on several measures.

No doubt Soludo is a good candidate, but I am sure that Dr Maduka's kinsmen would have preferred to vote for him in preference to their own son should both of them swap political party platform in the election.

This woman don't have sense. She will just die for nothing..

I wonder what makes her think she's more special or on a higher level than a maid.

Abi is it not the same vagina both of them are carrying, or does her own taste like strawberry and smell like fresh roses?

Wonderful!!

I've said it before and it's a fact that women look down on other women than men looking down on women.

IPOB has won our hearts...

A former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, has said the cancellation by the Indigenous People of Biafra, of its planned one-week sit-at-home in the South-East, had proved the group was not a terrorist organisation.

According to the former Presidential Aide, the decision of IPOB to cancel the one-week sit-at-home was indicative of the fact that it believed in the principle of justice, equity and self-determination, for its people.

Okupe stated this in a statement he personally signed, a copy of which was made available to The PUNCH, on Friday.

According to Okupe, in the statement, “It was heartwarming to learn that IPOB cancelled the Sit-At-Home order.

“This decision of IPOB is a very reasonable one coming from an organisation, whose major concern is justice, equity and self-determination for its people.

“By this singular act of compassionate and progressive civility in furtherance of our democracy, IPOB, to my mind, has proved unequivocally that it is not a terrorist organisation, rather it is one that can be called to a round table to reason with.


“It was in my own realisation of this fact that I made a call a few days ago that in the interest of peace in the South-East region, it is now time for the Federal Government, to open a window of opportunity for peaceful negotiation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB.

“I wish to appeal to all peace-loving Nigerians to add their voices to persuade our government to show magnanimity and make this all-important move now! Peace talks and sincere negotiations can resolve in weeks, what violence, war and its attendant bloodshed may not achieve in several years.

“May God help and guide our leaders to lead us alright,

Elder statesman and Northern Leader, Prof Ango Abdullahi, an octogenarian convener of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) bemoaned what he called the “excesses of the present generation, saying ‘it is time to decide whether to keep the country together or whether to disband it so that everybody can go in peace”. In pangs of regrets, he said the founding fathers must be shifting uneasily in their graves at what the nation has turned to. He blamed the elite for the squandering of the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the sexagenarian nation. He spoke on the diversity of Nigeria, and the predisposition towards disintegration. He said the current security measures to keep the country one is misplaced and wild- goosing. “Do they care about the root causes of the agitations?”, he intoned.


Finally, he gave his nod for the carving out of Biafra out of Nigeria, advising that clamping down on the agitators of the separatist enclave without addressing the root causes is delusionary and futile. He spoke with CHIDI OBINECHE

It is for the elite to be responsible once more. The crises in Nigeria have to do with the elite. They are irresponsible. It is not the ordinary Nigerians that have created the problems for us. It is the elite. When the elite who are supposed to know, by virtue of their advantages in education and everything else, choose not to toe the path of decency and good moral standards, then there will be no solution.

Does it then mean Nigeria will keep going like this?

No. it cannot keep going like this. It will get to a point where it will stop and then we disintegrate. That is the direction it is going now. You can feel it. It is very palpable. It is very sad indeed. The founding fathers will be restless in their graves. They have laboured for us. They got nothing in return except the honours we give them. We keep honouring them because of what they did. But there is nobody who is going to honour our generation because we have done nothing. We are quarrelling among ourselves because of our self interests.

But the current regime is battling to ensure that there is no integration?

Battling what?

There is an ongoing security onslaught, especially in the South-East, to clamp down on agitators for a separatist state of Biafra.

This is where people misunderstand this term ‘security’. Security for what? Is it done physically? Are they looking at the causes of the agitation? Are they interested in the root causes? When you’re sick and go to the hospital, the doctor will not just give you medicine and say take this, this is for you. He will ask questions. What is happening to you? How is it doing you? The questions and answers will determine the root cause of your problem. Then, his prescription will be right and it will fight the problem or illness. That is not what we are doing in this case. We work from the answer to the question. For me, I have given up.

But the country has to be rescued one way or another…

Oh well, we are looking forward to that magic day. My younger brother Kingibe spoke the other day. That is why I say that it is the elite that are responsible for the problems of Nigeria.

Who wrote the constitution of Nigeria? It is the British and we the elite that wrote it. Were we not the ones who did it? And we decided in our own thinking at the time that we should insert certain provisions that Nigeria is indissoluble, is indivisible, whatever, whatever, whatever, as if we were not the ones who created this.

And we forgot the history of countries that started as one and ended as many. India started as one and ended up as four. Soviet Union, only some years ago was a super power. They are now 11 countries. So what is so sacrosanct about any country deciding to take another look at itself and decide what to do?. That is why I am amazed at what is unfolding today. That is why I told the vice president, Osinbajo I support Biafra when he called us for discussions. He said to me, ‘Prof Ango, what is your view’? I said, ‘Mr Vice President, with due respect, I support Biafra’. He was shocked. He said again, ‘you support Biafra?’, I said, “Why not”? He did not expect it from me. This is a people who want self determination, and the United Nations charter has made it absolutely clear that people should have the right for self determination So, if indeed it is true that Biafrans want to have self –determination by having a separate country out of Nigeria, why not? All we need to do is to work out the modalities and have a referendum as it happened in Sudan. It is very clear,

BeeBeeOoh:
Pan–Arewa socio-politcal group, Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has rejected special treatment and trial for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group advised the Federal Government to ensure his trial proceed in accordance with the laws of the land without any special treatment, adding that elite who want special treatment accorded to him for peace “are merely inviting more threats on the people.”

It also charged government and security agencies not to allow IPOB truncate the Anambra State governorship election on Saturday.

NEF’s spokesman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, in a statement, yesterday, after a meeting with its leader, Ango Abdullahi, said the region would cooperate with other regions to produce a competent president in 2023.

According to Baba-Ahmed, the elders suggested the state independent electoral commissions should be scrapped and the powers to conduct local government elections transferred to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“IPOB’s plans to frustrate the governorship election in Anambra State this weekend must be resisted.

“The ongoing trial of its leader should proceed in accordance with the laws of the land, and elite from the region who demand that he is accorded special treatment in return for peace should know they are merely inviting more threats on the people they should help to protect.

“The people of the North want to work with other Nigerians to produce a competent and committed Nigerian leadership that will restore confidence in our country’s capacity to survive and rebuild itself for the next generations.

“The forum notes that Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress dominate the political landscape. It further notes that Nigerians will benefit from additional options, both to improve competition and to broaden the leadership selection process.

“The forum looks forward to the emergence and consolidation of other parties in the political environment. The continued existence of state electoral commissions which conduct elections into local governments is severely damaging the democratic process.

“The forum advises that the ongoing constitutional amendments should include the scrapping of these commissions and the assumption of their duties by INEC,” he said.

He lamented that Borno State has not had electricity supply for over 10 months because of the insidious activities of Boko Haram insurgents.

The spokesperson said if labelling bandits as terrorists would quell the onslaught ravaging the region, the elders would support it wholeheartedly.
