I was set to clinch the ticket through the progressives before Obasanjo was released from prison into PDP to run. Obasanjo’s entry swayed the whole interest because of June 12 and the need to address the unrest in the nation as it was in the Southwest then. A lot of us, including Ekwueme knew this. The general thing was to give the Southwest a chance that even Ogbonnaya Onu, another Igbo man that won the primaries of the APP had to step aside for Olu Falae of AD to run on APP platform as the joint candidate of the two parties to make it possible for candidates from Southwest zone only to run for president. With that June 12 sentiment and the need for the military to diffuse the tension, we all knew what the outcome would be.


SO MY PEOPLE.. IS IT SAFE TO SAFE THE PRESIDENCY WAS MICRO ZONED TO THE SOUTH WEST??

We need history lessons in this country, the yourba's will still not accept that they micro zoned the presidency to the southwest in 1999

All these Orlu and Okigwe people should please go and sit down in one big bush, your brothers have lead our beloved state for years and still leading, so why these wailing?

Who go emulate poverty?

Poor economy that got you at the bottom of the stats.

Comedian

Why do we like to deceive our self, you posted a graphic deception of oil based economy . Which is even making us more poorer, they have told you guys time with out number that SMS's is the engine that can power our economy to our desire destination, you people don't want to understand, That is what China did , and the Asia tigers , not oil.

UdechiHD:
Lol! Tinubu’s popularity ends in the SW! Pair him with Rochas or Kalu in the north and you'll understand the reality on ground.

Exactly, Rochas will beat tinubu in the north in a free and fear election, that is why they are trying to put clog on his wheels of progress

BrownLondon:
This analysis doesn't make sense,

Someone from Kaduna might choose to take the kaduna-Abuja train, or anyhow he likes....that doesn't change anything... Does it?

Does the choice of ones mode of transportation change anything?

I personally would prefers road transportation to Air...

Have you forgotten that these Igbo Airport data you've been yarning dust about isn't even up to 1/50 of Lagos Airport?

The choice of transportation of someone from calabar or Kano or anywhere shouldn't be a problem.

Even the most popular airport in the world, London Heathrow is not even in top 5 busiest..

The last time I checked only 3 or 4 Airports were viable in Nigeria which none is Igbo airport, so why all These noise?
https://m.guardian.ng/news/17-fg-airports-not-viable-may-shut-down-over-losses/

Owerri and Enugu airports are also not viable, so why are you barking?

That's is not necessary @bolded
Viability have levels of am to take your point, Owerri, Enugu airport are more more viable than Ibadan, Kaduna, Ondo airport. Take a look at the table below

BrownLondon:
An average(most) indigene of Ibadan has nothing to do in PH, Kano and Kaduna.

Most of the flights from Ibadan are always Ibadan-Abuja (I may be wrong)


The final destination of domestic flights are always Lagos and Abuja with huge chunk of it going to Lagos

Just as yeebos can't do without Lagos, check below.

Please, let tell ourselves the truth,
Owerri airport to PH airport is less than 2hrs, by road
Owerri airport to Enugu airport is like 2hrs or less than 3hrs by road and they still command high air traffic than lbadan, Kano, Kaduna, Ondo, Sokoto, Calabar airports

Owerri even nearly double Kano
Owerri triple Kaduna
Owerri octuple ibadan i.e 8x Ibadan, or even more
So what are you saying?

BrownLondon:
One more thing, I think you are the guy who said Igbos runs Ilorin.

Apart from Selling clothes in challenge, sport wears in stadium.

Can you tell me other things Igbos owns in Ilorin?

Ok you said Ibadan to lagos is 1hr, what about

Ibadan to Abuja?
Ibadan to PH?
Ibadan to Kano or Kaduna?
Since your Oyo state is the best and has a viable economy, what stops them topping those rout? Or you think you are talking to a year old boy.

Even come to land transportation they are no where to be found, very poor people, what you guys do is to stand on the high way flying down cars and buses for cheap fear, go to GIRI junction by 6am in the morning, along Abuja - Kaduna express road, and see them shouting oshogbo, Ibadan, Ife with their bags on their heads. You can never see them in a bus terminal like GIGM, ABC etc , very poor set of people.

Anambra State has 63 major markets, that's a fact,
The economic activities in that state is second to Lagos, but the second highest to Aba in SMS's in Nigeria, tough not properly captured by NBS in their employment data, well God know why. I am one of those who buy stuff in Onitsha and Nnewi, a state that you go to by night bus get your goods and return same day by night bus. No state in Nigeria except Lagos, why is that possible? Simply because they have designed a very sophisticated ways of doing business which is worth emulating.

Jealousy and hatred is on display, Some people are talking of airports in Oyo state, airport that is only use by the governor, Kano is also talking, with all the resources the FG have been committing, can't even compete with Lagos, interms of air traffic coming 5th after Owerri, Awka ibom of yesterday, well I don't blame them, but they know the truth.

Dont be deceived Anambra state is what the OP says it is, Nnewi, Onitsha, Awka are three cities model you can not find in any state in Nigeria except Lagos, even in Abuja here, remove Amac Area council, Abuja will be competing with nassarawa State and Osun State.

FemiMaduka:
It's almost a waste of time putting in any effort to make Nigeria sane. How can the legislature of the country with the largest number of poor people globally choose, almost biannually, to expend scarce FX on buying expensive foreign automobiles at the expense of a budding Nigerian brand (however "inferior" they think it is). This is nothing short of madness!

I was watching a program shot around 2008/10 on Aljazeera about India and the struggle to gain admission into the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). To my amazement, a senior police officer of a rank somewhat equivalent to a CP had a Fiat Padmini as official vehicle! Up to the early 2000s, the PM of India was using the Hindustan Ambassador (an iconic car) for state functions. This is an India with an economy almost 7 times the size of ours!

Ideally, what should be the business of officials of a country with over 100 million poor people (highest globally) with expensive foreign automobiles?

When some dunces want to make excuses, they'd say Innoson is not a proven brand, or that it is an imitation of a Chinese brand. So what! It employs Nigerians; pays taxes and duties into the Nigerian coffers; it is making our auto industry kick and it is putting us on the map of automobile manufacturers! Commonsensically, against what some lunatics would infer by saying "moving coffins", if the IVM brand of automobiles were not safe, foreign countries wouldn't even come near it.

China kicked off by imitating Western automobile designs and concepts, exactly what IVM is doing. Today, it is leading the US in the race for 5G technology and breaking new bounds in other areas.

This is a country of foolish, myopic and ignorant people.

Honestly speaking what stops the federal government from at least make IVM their official car? I don't want to sound tribal here, but if it's were a northern coy, they would have make all Nigerians buy it, Dangote Cement, local rice, suger, wheat coming to mind, because it favours them

proeast:
Your region has a high standard of living yet they're so poor that they can't afford to travel by air. Your region has good infrastructure yet you don't have a single viable and functional airport except the one Nigerians use in Lagos.

Here is a comprehensive table on Nigeria's flight statistics. Not even a single airport in your region is in the first ten. Igbo cities dominate it and that's a good pointer of which people has huge middle class and high purchasing power.

Aregbese wasted billions of borrowed money in the guise of building an airport in Oshogbo but today grass has overgrown the sight. The one in Ibadan has been converted into a warehouse with animals roaming all over the premises. However, in Igbo land we have viable airports in almost all our state capitals. There is one in Owerri, Enugu, Asaba, and P.H while the ones in Awka and Abakilike would soon be completed.

Igbos are far ahead of you guys in every aspect, the only thing hiding your backwardness is Lagos.

You they mind them this is a more clearer one from FAAN, Ibadan can't make top 10.

All is well, the choice of Imo State is good, please dont go far away from your base, going west is a no no!!!!

helinues:
They are doing more than badly

Anambra state, the acclaimed billionaires state is less than 5000km/2 in landmass, please could you point out to any significant development happening there.

Note, no region or state is doing fairly not to talk of better currently in Nigeria..

The post is about southeast as a region and it's land mass , you are talking about a state, and please go to Anambra thread to see what is happening their or better put your questions across to them

Blackking98:
Two packs of indomie

Yes, just two packs and they sell their future

It's not by land mass, southeast is not doing bad, as a matter of fact they have their economy in their hand, do you know that southeast have two airports that are 4th and 6th in terms of air traffic(passenger), after Lagos, Abuja and PH, been 1st, 2nd, 3rd , Owerri airport is 4th while Enugu is 6th, so where is Niger State, Yobe State , Ondo State, Kaduna State or Oyo State The answer is on the FAAN website, A region that is less than a state in land mass outperforming big for nothing so called state in economic development. It's a shame.

let's even look at this closely, it means that Oyo State should have two airports, likewise Yobe, Ondo, Kaduna,, Kano and Niger State, shame on you guys and your big for nothing states

Some citizen are using this landmass as a yardstick for development, yes southeast is small in landmass but the truth is that they are not doing badly, as a matter of fact they have their economy in their hand, for example, do you know that southeast have two airports that are 4th and 6th in terms of air traffic(passenger) the same "Smallest region" after Lagos, Abuja and PH, being 1st, 2nd, 3rd , Owerri airport is 4th while Enugu is 6th, so where is Niger State, Yobe State , Ondo State, Kaduna State or Oyo State? The answer is on the FAAN website, A region that is less than a state in land mass outperforming big for nothing so called state in economic activities. It's a shame.

let's even look at this closely, it means that Oyo State should have two airports, likewise Yobe, Ondo, Kaduna,, Kano and Niger State, it's really a shame and not by landmass

In land transportation they are doing very well, they control that sector because it is tied to their economy, all the top transport companies have a strong presence in the southeast, servicing their interests, yes their interest, take a work into any of these companies check their rout, you will understand what am talking about.

1. GIGM (God is Good Motors)

2. ABC Transport

3. Chisco Transport Company.

4. Young Shall Grow Motors Ltd

5. GUO Transport Company

6. Cross Country Motors

7. Ifesinachi Transport Ltd.

8. Peace Mass transit

9. Ekesons transport

10. Bonny Way Motors Nigeria Limited,

11. ITC :- Imo State Transport Company

12. Abia line : Abia State Transport Company

13. ANIDS Mass Transit Company - Owned by Anambra State

14. Ekene Dili Chukwu Transport company

15. Libra Motors Nigeria Limited

And many more.

The owners of these companies are from these small region and their customers are 80% from same region, that is in the size of Oyo or Osun or Yobe or Niger State. They are cashing out due to the economic activity (commerce) in that region. If only the government can allow them to build their train tracks it would have been another ball game, they know what them can do and suppressing them amount to suppress Nigeria, AirPeace is another prove of their can do spirite.

More sectors coming

I can bet Ogbomoso, Ife E.t.c are far better than your Nsukka, Arochukwu Okigwe e.t.c

The reason why you don't see their pictures is because Yorubas are not competing with anyone...

Actually, the Abiriba or whatever you guys were celebrating yesterday or so isn't better than my village in Kwara state, now tell me why I should just wake up one day, take the next available bus to my village and start taking pictures, to proof what point exactly??

You guys can only decieve your fellow uninformed Igbos with the pictures of your new town where the elites lives, why not show us where an average igboman lives (the old town)?

Kwara waitin!!!! I beg stop that joke please, after Ilorin noting again, Offa try small, is it Omuaran, Isanlu, jeba or those igbomina areas of Kwara state, malete, or those Nupe areas ? where again? All thoss places are confirm rural areas now,
Can you imagine Kwara dey talk, na waint man no go see for nairaland.

I beg no need to go to your village we already know what is there

for your information my primary education was at Trinity Nursery and Primary School, GRA Ilorin ,while my secondary school was St. Anthony's Ilorin, please don't lecture me on kwara or should I say Ilorin afonja, a town igbo dey control, from Taiwo Rd, to Unity Rd, to Saw-Mail, to Olorunshogo, to Surulere down to emir's palace, to Challenge/Post Office area, igbos are running things over there.. good night and sleep well

As for the FDI, I think we are not doing badly, information from FAAN says Lagos, Abuja, PH, Owerri, Kano, Enugu, are the busiest airport in the country interns of air traffic and if you check very well PH is 3rd, Owerri is 4th and Enugu is 6th , these three airport are close to each other like 2 or 3hrs yet they outperform other regions, as small as southeast is, they have two airports performing more than order regions with larger land mass, and you say our economy is not doing well because of FDI, no region can beat the southeast in the transport sector because we dominant that sector which is the backbone of commerce, with our transport companies like ABC, Chisco, God is Good, Peace Mass, The Young, Ifysinach, GUO, etc our economy is in our hand and we are going well

Nwanne m nwoko. Ndi nga onumara ke gi no n'mbaise? Awum onye Amumara no n'ime Ezinihite LGA.

Ahiara will definitely be called a city in Osun state. At least virtually all the banks in Nigeria has a branch there and there are nice buildings and built up neighborhoods.

I always wonder why places like Ede, Ogbomosho, Ife, modakeke and so on are still backward in term of development, you can hardly see southwest people show you pictures of these places like how the southeast are doing, these places have been in existence for God knows when but shock to see nothing absolutely nothing to show for, everybody is calming Lagos, this is very shameful

If an average igbo man tells you he is going to his village don't think it's your type of village in southwest, this is exactly what he meant by village

Guys, seeing is believing...... Was in that town last two Christmas mennnnnnn, I blow for them and very proud to be born an igbo

.....tinubu na the bigger thief....

tinubu be Baba Ole

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Lool
Orji has more clout than Rochas in the east.

Rochas pulls more weight than orji, the guy is loved all over Nigeria, if not the corruption stuff against him as governor, the man is a phenomenon

hollah123:
are u talking about d same Rochas that was disgraced out of imo with his daughter humiliated

We are going to choose the lesser evil which is Rochas, mind you Rochas is a good politician and has been in the game for decades, with the support of south east leaders, tinubu will find it difficult in APC

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Exactly.. It will be Orji vs Tinubu.

If Rochas start his campaign, tinubu go run ooooo

Innoson when are you opening Imo state plant in Naze, in Owerri, as you promised?

Hunchogee:
Funnily the have calabar route already.. So get expose abit

Calabar and other southern rout will mean ibom air will need to up their game or charge less because bigger air line are already on that rout, they cant make much in the south except awka ibom.
PH, Owerri, Kano, Eungu are 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th busiest airport s in Nigeria right now interns of traffic

He just need more endorsement from top brands in the country.......he surely get there

Airpeace have locked down PH, Owerri, Calabar, Eungu the best for them is Kano or Kaduna
