Hogwash! Even going by your subjective standard, you had powerful governors from the East, wealthy businessmen, adequate representation in the legislative branch including its leadership. You even had GEJ at a point in time, who could have easily been manipulated to support Eastern agenda but NOTHING!

You can continue playing victim or you can wake up and start auditing your own internal structure. A revolution can't happen only on the physical level, it must also be mental/behavioral. I'm not here to diminish your claim but if you are honest with yourself, you would realize that even your own leaders don't believe in the Eastern agenda. It's all propaganda! How much is seaport? Do you know how many Easterners own oil blocks? How many Easterners are worth trillions? Combination of all Eastern governors and Senators alone can build a coalition that would bring meaningful development. E.g Instead of siding with a loser like Atiku, they could have bargained with Buhari, 50% of the SE votes for more federal allocations? 70% for perhaps a seaport? This is how it's done even in advanced countries but the truth of the matter is this, your own leaders are only after their pockets. Buhari is not your problem, your problem is the governor/senator/minister that you call brother/sister.

all these things are easier said than done.

You are the one trying to sound political, cause i never for once in yhis thread mentioning Buhari.

As for the sea port part state governments are not allowed to do that its federal

abbey621:
Yet we've had Senators, Reps, Ministers and other leaders from the East who did nothing to achieve this. You people cry partisan politics yet the people you chose to represent you ended up being sellouts. The problem is not the federal government or partisan politics, the real issue is within. If your own brothers and sisters sold you out, why the hell won't outsiders do the same?

is that what you think, Senators Reps and Ministers don't have much power over the development of there region only governors do.

If a senate needs to be balanced same as house of reps, right now in Nigerian NASS the north is the majority. in the past it wasn't so, when Nigeria was north and south we both had equal number of reps but now northern reps are majority.

Move a motion and they can go against it if it does not favor them, Ministers too dont have much powers, if Budget president gives to u does not provide for infrastructure in your region its not your regions fault.

i am not saying anybody is perfect but let people who have had an edge in Nigeria for ages don't come and start trying to compare with people who came from zero to something

g

Ambode deserves it 100percent. he disenfranchised Eastern voters during the 2019 general election, he allowed thugs disrupt and beat up citizens carrying out there lawful and constitutional right of voting.

He is also docile if u know say if u quit u die if u no quit u still die, why not fight for your governorship than just stepping down just because Tinubu says so

jrusky:
Don't mind him he is talking stomach infratructure bro you could have asked him what about *Kerosine Infrastructure* was it not one of our hovernor campaign strategy in the last election given bottles of Kerosene?

Bro I'm here I will fight this tribal demons yo a standstill I'm from that region but I have promised my self never to know or seen tribalism colour in anyway and they hate for it and bro I give no f u c k.

nobody hates you bro, naturally a time will come the people u are trying to fraternize with against your people would remind u that you are an ipob despite the face that u dont have anything to do with ipob or even support them, that time your eye will clear

imagine during my research i found out that as a strategy to deal with the easterners alot of Igbo territories were zoned to other region, then they add more salt to wound they now zone the ones given to the states into another geo zone.

its only in Nigeria that 2states bordering each other are sharing same people but different states and different geopolitical zone, how would Egbema be in Rivers state and in Imo state full blown igbo people, we don't want to talk about Oyigbo/Obigbo.

All these people talking nonsense in this thread use your head o, Igbos have been marginalized in Nigeria despite the crumbs they leave us we still make the most out of it, yet people who have been enjoying the system for ages would be trying to have a d1ck measuring contest.

Let the tables be turned lets see how much u would fare

the east is ready to compete, the east is ready for development, but partisan politics and infrastructure deficit cant let us achieved our goals.

Imagine none of the Eastern sea ports Aka southsouth ports are functional
Federal govt can invest millions of dollars to build a dry port at Kaduna and invest millions to make sure it works whether it is viable or not.

But Onitsha port has been on lock and key for years down, despite various firms bidding to manage it.

We pass una o, make una no dae do senseless comparison, if all things were to be equal una no go see our back

omenyili:
a typical Igbo man does not like to be indebted to anyone, so that he will be free to say what he wants when he wants , no matter whose ox is gored. when you are indebted to someone, the person owns you till you pay up. you have to bear all the faults of the person you owe till you pay up. if you look at it those who owe the federal government alot of money they are the ones who are least critical of the federal government

these people no know say we pass them, na just Nigerian situation dae make them think say we be mate.

Yorubas have had an edge in Nigeria over other regions in the south, despite that, despite so many things favouring them alone over other southerners, despite all that they still have a huge debt profile and not much to show for it.

NIGERIAS FORMER CAPITAL CITY IS GIVING THEM HOPE

Eastlink:
This is the internet age stop lying. The inventors of highway robbery, kidnapping and rituals originated from the SW. The early Igbo settlers in Lagos and Ibadan exported it to the east.
How can a son be greater than a father? The Yoruba's are the inventors of crass killings from cultism, ogboni, abobaku, Oro skull harvest, operation wetie, gbomo gbomo and Shina Rambo armed robbery crew.
Before Evans there was Gbomo Gbomo!

the guy is just highly ignorant or an illiterate.

Naturally amount of igbos comiting crime is SW would be higher compared to yorubas comiting crimes in the East, this is ad a result of the fact that Easterners in the west Beat Yoruba population in the East 3:1 naturally it would have a butterfly effect in every action in both regions both legal and illegal

IGBOSON1:
Without even reading the report i can tell you for free that it will be Imo and Abia that would be responsible for the lion share of domestic debt in the south-east! Those two states are the worst governed in the region!

lol... Abia own is worst at least Imo has witnessed significant improvement.

Abia state single handedly destroyed its own economy for reasons i don't understand and never will

EngrKem:
There has never been a time the sw or other region in nigeria has better education than the eastern region, the only set back was the war. B4 independence, the eastern region were the teachers in the north and the professionals (doctors,lawyers, engineers etc)in the south west

yeah i recall now , the south west had to declare free education to catch up with the East .

They called it IGBO DOMINATION

EngrKem:
Even with lagos in sw, right b4 independence till now,the eastern region still remain the most developed in the country
This is just the truth
Hold ur leaders responsible and stop worshipping them
The igbos u hate holds there leaders responsible always if u doubt ask Ekweremadu

one of the reason why i want the south east to develop like really develop, i want a day to come when igbos would start coming back home permanently. I believe that day would come, IGBO LAND IS ALWAYS OPEN TO ALL TRIBES, EVEN IF THEY HATED US WE WONT RETURN THE HATE, we are better than that

oziamaka:
nah! you are not up to date in terms of best universities and educational performance in the states. ehm, I used to hear about this thunderous number of professors in the South West until I went there myself. mehn the professors your have there cannot compete with ordinary PGD Student talk more of PHD. most of them are of very low calibre educationally. I supervised waec and neco exams and couldn't but wow at the rate of exam malpractices. so please please spare us the professors bulcrap. the quality of education there is at low low elb and thats to tell you the quality of professors you r breeding up there.

if Nigeria they remove quota system and decided that let everything be done in merit devoid of corruption, connection or politics a lot of region and there phantom stats and achievements would in a blink of an eye go extinct

EngrKem:
With all these nonsense stats from ur village kitchen..
Proper stats says otherwise
This stats on debt still says SE is better.
I wonder why u guys don't v shame! U guys just lie and defend evil like like it's a way to heaven! Hypocrites

the guy is deluded. Despite the gap the south west gap the south east pre independence in terms of education, despite the set back the south east also experienced as a result of the civil war, yet the south east has experience significant improvement so much that they now compare themselves with people who didn't have any of these set backs.

The south east has every reason to be the most indepted region and it would be justified, but not the southwest.

But they would reason it in a tribalistic stvpid manner without acknowledging the facts

NGpatriot:
You are basically saying there's lack of development in the SE because of their low debt profile on top of the fact that they are poor and still saddled with poor income in form of IGR.

Debt, when used properly, is an instrument for development so, when you are poor and have low IGR, if means you have poor credit ratings and you can not access credit facilities which means lack of development.

u sounded smart but lemme fault u, Southeastern states that have a higher Igr than most northern states yet how come the low Igr states with poor credit ratings still have higher debts?

this is one of the reasons i dont want Tacha to win BBnaija ever since Tacha got into that house and has stayed this long almost every young girl now wants to be like her. The amount of Nigerian girls Twerking on Instagram to gain followers has increased drastically.

If she wins she would endorse twerking and whoring as key ways to success in Nigeria

Neatboy:
I just want to ask. Shey because dem dey pay person e mean sey make the person no get sense again? nawaooo.

if them dae pay u over 10million every month to talk nonsense, u go get sense?

ornicus:
No real surprise. Soldiers and police have been outsourcing themselves to civilians as escort, debt collection, intimidation etc for years

There was a thread about a yahoo boy hiring a soldier to beat up another yahoo boy.

This is the other reason for the unabating spate of kidnapping etal. Plenty of iyamus ( I think that was his name) out there.

Of course one cannot even tell if police were going to arrest or shakedown

the worst i saw was when yahoo boys called a soldier to come and intimidate another yahoo boy over share of yahoo proceeds and the soldier boldly went.

what manner of indiscipline is that

The US released info about the Nigerian government not being transparent, and fools are talking rubbish all over the thread, if Nigerian government is transparent or not does it affect the USA? NO

Who does it affect most? US the Nigerian people

Yet all of u are okay, Buhari has been on seat for almost 5years and nothing much has changed, lets tell ourselves the truth, police still collects bribe, sars still arresting innocent people, light boy still dae, politicians are still stealing, most federal roads are still bad.

The worst of it, everybody seeing the rot is silent, mention it to the public thats the day u would receive your sack letter or Efcc would remember u.

and you all say its okay.

Imagine Fulani herdsmen killing people, just because of cow and the president and his party are defending it, one even said if u touch a Fulani man they must revenge no matter how long it takes, so police no dae again Fulani people have right to kill people.

MAKE ALL OF US THINK O.

During the early 2000's if person tell me say by the year 2019 there wont still be light ordinary light despite all Nigerian huge gas reserves, i wont believe. But its happening, before u know your Kids would be born into this same unchanging system to continue the circle of suffering and u are okay with it

i am beginning to see the beauty in what IPOB did somehow, but this time let it be like this instead of doing that with the objective of breaking the country, do that with the objective of fighting for corruption.

If a Politician goes abroad for medical treatment if u catch them stone them, so they are giving us low quality health care why they go abroad for something better.

If a politician embezzles our money and Efcc drops the case out of political reasons if u catch that politician abroad stone him.

If u see a politician vacationing abroad still stone him, they wont be giving us useless and suffering environment why they go abroad to enjoy.

The list goes on we are fvcking fed up, 80percent of Nigerian youths are unemployed or under employed and many people see nothing wrong with it, u would see a graduate thats over 25years still staying with his parents no job nothing no hope and it's okay to all of u.

if u say its okay it would be your portion

DJInfluence:
Is she seriously saying Nigeria is safer than Europe? i don´t blame her, i blame any gullible person that believes this crap she is saying. Nigeria is not even safer than Afghanistan or Syria.

Nigeria is so safe that she can walk around without Police escort ...lol the sarcasm

naijaboy756:
It is real...

Jesus Christ is Lord!

but thats a fake ring, with no international backing.

There's no conspiracy here, its just maybe a coincidence, if it was an original versace ring chances of it being possible would have been higher

Simplyleo:
Economists in the house, pls is this a positive or negative development?

But to me, this sound good.

Though can't really say, I'm not an economist.

its a lie...

just of recent Garba shehu was complaining about how tax revenues have reduced since 2015. He complained about how tax revenues prior to 2015 was higher, if tax payers have increased why are we having a down turn in revenue?

StrongandMighty:
Wonderful news!

If you've ever contributed in one way or the other to bring Nigeria to what it is right now, whether you're a politician or not, whatever evil and setback that comes your way take it with good fate because more is coming!

Whatever siasia is accused of that made fifa to ban him for life, I'm 100% sure he's guilty of it, and here are his corrupt colleagues and partner in crimes sympathizing with him as if they are saints.. Just a matter of time you all will reap what you sow!

Monsters disguised in human form!!

something NFF would sanction him too they are busy backing him. they are tarnishing our image in the international scene

of all the problems ekiti state has, its yoruba language thats there problem.

naturally if u see any community in Nigeria with oil companies that place is naturally supposed to develop because of the soil over of economic opportunities, of recent i heard they just discovered a new oil well in Akwa ibom and nobody died. Discover a new oil well in a community in Rivers give it one year and war would start in that community.

With all the oil wells in Omoku, its been deserted for ages its just of recent people started returning home thanks to Don wannys death
Ahoada another oil rich community started there own, Emuoha started there own, e never finish chop start there own, e still dae cook, ust start there own, e never done Khana start,

Ogoni own self na like normal thing, its just like Bornu state, the worst this same Ogoni has alot of companies at onne, u cant imagine how much these miscreants have frustrated those companies

kayalla:
i cant imagine how much these hooligans are being paid to destroy Nigeria and kill human beings like fly.
God please fish them and let them taste their pain

in Rivers state they pay them with Sqaudron, weed and whores... and they will be ok

pay them there money

Ekweremadu for President 2023.

any SS/SE thats reading this, i am not a Biafran supporter but never allow anybody call ipob miscreants, if u support them, right now they wont call u ipob but the day u receive any form of injustice you would be surprised at the speed they will declare u ipob.

The northern twitter guy referring to ipob as miscreants owe them an apology, unlike fulani herdsmen who maim and kill people yet we accomodate there excesses

When they were arresting in 2016 were you not amongst those claiming Buhari plans to militarize SS

i was being serious
