₦airaland Forum

realhumanity:
I now believe that Igbo's have finally accepted the tag, second class citizens in this country. They have lost so much ground that they cannot even stand on their own but holding on either the south south or the north to have a sense of belonging.

The N500billion naira you guys are yapping about should be directed towards buying the ibaka seaport from Akwa ibom and creating a rail transport around the entire southeast. This will make our businesses grow faster and get better returns on business. Imagine a purely commodity port which will serve the entire southeast, south south and many parts of north central being under the control of Igbo men. it will shoot the region up and every exporting commodity will not pass through the bureaucratic bottleneck in Lagos.

The time to change thinking is now and we should start pushing.

You better understand nigeria n politics, even with 1 trillion dollars you can't put one block on any federal controlled facility if they don't want it. The first step is to install an igbo friendly presidency, not necessarily an igbo president. Only then can you talk of these things

CFCman:
If the group ends up raising the said N500bn, they could give each of the 5 SE states N100bn.

The N100bn can either be invested in capital projects or kept in an interest-yielding account to guarantee the future solvency of the states.

I believe N70bn will be sufficient to construct an 8-lane highway linking all the major towns of the SE, battling the gully erosion problem, or even upgrading the infrastructure in the public-owned tertiary institutions and secondary schools, and setting up a scholarship fund for Natives of the 5 states who can barely afford to attend a tertiary institution. Alternatively, N25 billion could be used to construct another terminal, taxiways at AIIA.

You can do these things if the Feds say NO

OreMI22:
I have always known chima in this forum and defunct anambra forum as a hifhly cerebral individual that objectively analyzes a situation without sentiments. Those children hoping that fulani will suddenly give them igbo presidency should WAKE UP! It is simply a ploy to prevent igbo from focussing on biafra so fulani have more years to loot Nigeria

For me, we should focus on Biafra and forget the gimmick fulani are playing paying lip service to Igbo presidency. They hace no intentions for that and it serves as an emotional distraction to igbos. While fulanis continue to loot Nigeria and search for oil in ths north as part of their ultimate agenda for their AREWA republic.

Igbos don't need to produce the president, what we need is an igbo friendly presidency. Even if you raise trillions of dollars right now and want to embark on development of igboland with it, FG can frustrate you. we have nothing to gain in igbo presidency, he will be busy trying to please others who will want to pull him down, we saw it in GEJ, secondly, yorubas and other southern group will take advantage of it to align with the north and produce vice president, we saw it during GEJ"s reelection bid. What we need now is an igbo friendly northerner. Who says Biafra and Nigerian politics are mutually exclusive??

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Can't they use the 500b Naira for SE development?

You people don't get it, you can just start "development" without approval from the Feds

Very correct

afroniger:
Na wah for you o. See as you carry the matter for head like gala come dey spit fire. Oh well, at least now you guys would have no more excuse not to relocate back home en masse. Infact now is the time for the SW and the 'insecure' North to be decongested. Yes oooo.

The report nullifies your "Accomodating" mantra. Business minded people do business everywhere even war fronts, its about being adventurous not your accomodation bullshyte. DO you know the number of Chinese trooping to Somalia and Afganistan on daily basis?

Henrydone:
Yeh those are legacy building existing for aeons, still there to showcase the cities ancient civilization when u still build hut and cover them with tahtch roof.Try get through niger bridge and get to c residentials in SW u just can't beat the reach.

bros, we are tired of this line already. most of us have traveled the lenghth and breath of this country

aresssa:
Any government overstretched by these ordinary village houses or any kind of houses is worthless and should pack up shop.

The OP obviously just want to see the houses in his village.

Very senseless and meaningless thread I must say.

Of course, he want to show you that all the villages are experiencing serious growth and transforming into and urban sprawl and conurbations, that's a sign of economic growth
pictures of Obosi "village" now a suburb of Onitsha and part of the metropolis
most of these places were bushes 4 years ago. When bushes suddenly become aggressively built up, it will definitely take the government unawares and overstretch the provision of infrastructure

Henrydone:
All this na huts for where lagos and ibadan dey.

you should encourage your hinterlands to grow and stop boring us with Lagos

Henrydone:
Which state does'nt have residential building, i still don't get the essence of this thread, i really expect to c infrastructural development not all this residents that can be found even in the most remote village.

These are the kind of residential building you find elswhere
1. Sagamu
2 Ekiti
etc etc

lol, i can see some afonjas. they have started shouting Lagos and Ibadan, we are talking about Nkwelle ezunaka village and they are talking about Lagos and Ibadan. are they not insulting their cities?? where is Ogbomoso, Owo, Ife etc??

Fremancipation:
You made really good points. Not all borrowing is bad especially if the money is invested in the right areas such as Bankable infrastructures. If Anambra government is scared about borrowing from Nigerian or International Banks, they can start their own state Bank called Anambra development bank. It will be funded by both state and private sector. State government needs to be more creative in their approach. No excuses in the 21st century.

they should be careful not to go the way of Osun. Where is Osun"s airport with longest runway in the world?? No airport yet state is under heavy debt burden

Nnysher:
Great thread.I think it should be renamed and given a more appropriate title so that Lalasticlala can push it to the front page.

front page ke?? ordinary personal observation??

jaymejate:
Just like a secondary school i know

They still have a long way to go seriously

Not bad for a start. 8 of them were approved today, show us the rest of the seven lets see if they are behind them. All the big university you see today started with few blocks. others as squatters at a temporal site

This thread is five months old. Any new improvements from those on ground in Enugu??

plenitude:
Imagine what Nigerians are showing to the world as development.... how many hours supply of electricity Can that community boast of??

This your comment no follow at all. what has electricity got to do with the thread?? These are people's "villages" yet bungalow is going into extinction, while mudhouse that litter other regions can never be found

KwaraRat:
Guy I am quoting every zombiod who doubted what I posted about their buhari being a western puppet.

I will mention all of the fools to remind them of their gross foolishness

are you the OP? kudos

where is Buratai?

KwaraRat, take it easy on the zombies.

Heffalump:
I smell the action of IPOB.

Honestly the surveillance team is not helping matters. JTF is a waste and endless drain of resources.

you have been smelling IPOB since the militancy started. Are you saying IPOB has overpowered FG. Greatest IPOB

where is Tonyebacanista. part of nigerian project destroying nigeria??

buhari no give am contracts and kickbacks as he expected

BakireBulmaker:
Isn't this madness?

When will the yeasterners stop behaving like abokkki slaves?

What do they intend to achieve by this?

A loan that is said to be of no benefit to the same SE

since when did dead APC become the mouthpiece of SE? who know them??

lefulefu:
most of the shoes we wear are aba made no doubt but most dont last.look at the sneakers i bought 4 jogging.within a month the sneakers don open mouth dey laugh.same with their trousers.if u wear their trouser after some months u will notice the underneath wearing off.the brogue shoe or cover shoe my uncle sent to me frm italy in 2010 is still with me.which aba made shoe fit last frm 2010 till now.to be honest the group in nigeria that make gud leather products are the hausas.

Aba has grades, stop looking for cheap things

tiger28:
I really thought you Biafrans decided to port to during the election when Seun said Nairaland does not support Biafra agitation. Alas,tons of you negros are still on nairaland. So much for empty threats.

Must your survival always depend on total exclusion of Igbos?

is it a crime to fvck under mutual consent??

If Northerners had tamed Buhari and Westerners Tamed Tinubu, the way Easterners tamed the like Orji Uzo Kalu, we would not have been in these problems. all these political megalomaniacs are serious burden to the well being of the masses
