Clowns.
The whole of the South East region is smaller than Borno, or almost the same size as Oyo state.

I remember when port hat out youths forced you to get your Ndigbo day out of their city. The SS normally does not like you due to land grabbing manners and the shege you showed them during Biafrian war despite all the attachments by force and unity begging 😂

It will be in the line of equity if the SE region is granted an extra state from their existing five states but in this case , the agitators are looking at carving either from Delta or Rivers .

It's a land grab .


Let them point to us from their own existing states were a new state can be carved out but they won't. It's either Rivers or Delta .

Now this is paradoxical because even in their root villages they are plagued with seccionism in the form of so-called Autonomous community. I can tell you that if they wanted a hundred states from their five existing states they will be pushing for it given the autonomous community syndrome that plagued them. Instead this clamour for a 6th state steps right out of their existing boundaries.

Normally I will object to this but the dynamics of unchecked migration by these people into Delta north especially Asaba has totally disturbed the peace and sanctity of Delta state and looks eerily similar to how the misguided generation of Delta Ibos during the dark years presiding the coup sided with Enugu instead of their fraternal brothers in old Bendel.

I believe this calls for deep retrospection because the harmony Delta enjoys now is sitting on a keg only compared to that we'd suffered during the civil war.

Now just imagine the audacity of these idiots demanding trillions .

This is based on lost revenue from sitting on Delta north and Rivers .

Banzas.

Obidients were wailing few weeks ago because HITECH is in charge of constructing the road. They claimed HITECH won't be able to deliver like Berger.

I'm sure they will construct a solid road like the Oshodi Apapa expressway.

South-East Assembles Igbo Lawyers To Sue Nigerian Govt, Demand Additional State, Trillions Of Naira Lost Through Imbalance

The President General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu has revealed that South-East will sue the Nigerian government over the marginalisation of the zone in the state creation.

Iwuanyanwu, who disclosed this on Wednesday, at a one-day retreat of Ohanaeze Ndigbo tagged “Ako bu ije” held in Enugu, reiterated his call for the southeast to be given additional state.

Lamenting that the region has lost trillions of Naira due to this imbalance, Iwuanyanwu said it was unfair for the northwest to have seven states while other regions have six states and the southeast is left with only five.

"A team of Igbo lawyers are being assembled to drag the federal government to court to ask for extra state and also demand the trillions of Naira Igbos have lost because they’ve lesser number of states," he said.

On the call for the amendment of the 1999 constitution, the Ohanaeze chief said that Igbos support the dissolution of power and allocations to be shared between the federal and state governments alone and for every region to develop at its pace in their various local government areas.

According to him, they support the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in January 2018 known as “Awka Declaration”.

"So no constitutional amendment can be made without bringing Igbos to par with other regions in state creation," he said.

Speaking on other issues affecting Ndịgbo, he said that efforts were being made to stop the hawking of awards with the names of late prominent Igbo sons.

He also issued a stern warning to those who have turned the name of Ohanaeze Ndigbo into a money-making venture and assured that he will use everything he has to protect the integrity of Igbos, adding that he won’t allow rascals to destroy what Igbos stand for.

In his speech, the chairman of the occasion and former military Governor of the old Anambra and the old Imo states, Admiral Allison Madueke said it was time for Igbo people to take a step backwards and rebuild the movement because any movement without tact will fail.

The former Chief of Naval Staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces added that Igbo people need to ask themselves where they missed their step and begin to make amends to achieve better results.

In a communique issued at the end of the retreat, the Igbo leaders resolved that Ndigbo have the enormous human and natural potential to initiate a “made-to-fit” regional development agenda that aligns with the current global reality; but also observed that Ndigbo had not exploited the opportunistic media space to identify the power centres in the region and galvanise them for collective action.

The communique reads in part, "The various specialized Ohanaeze Committees were therefore urged to swing into action to ensure the realization of the new Igbo agenda in sync with 21st Century socio-economic realities.

"The Igbo leaders also resolved that insecurity in the Southeast is a major hindrance to the development of the region and urged the southeast governors, security agencies and civil society organizations to redouble efforts in the security sector.

“The general consensus here is that the provision of security will unlock our great potential, especially in agriculture. The Retreat also resolved to intensify its drive for the unconditional release of the detained leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

"The Igbo leaders emphasized the imperative of collaboration between Ohanaeze leadership and Igbo Governors for the realization of Ala-Igbo Transformation Agenda.

“The retreat also harped on the capacity of Ndigbo for self-sufficiency in food production and urged the Igbo Governors to key into this vision and also ensure tight security in the region to earn the confidence of intending investors.

"The Igbo leaders also endorsed the proposed N10 billion Naira Endowment Fund from the Igbo in the Diaspora to give Ohanaeze a reasonable degree of financial stability."

Lol. This is shocking, and Penguin2 is bragging about the dictatorship.

opamoses1:
Try to hide your corruption at least by organizing a sham primary election. Although, even if Jesus was to contest with Peter Obi, you will drag Jesus and call peter Obi the saviour instead

You don't care about how corrupt that party is. All you want is for Peter Obi to get the ticket by crooked means with total disregard for integrity, honesty, and an excellence process. Like Peter Obi , Like Julius Abure, birds of the same feather flock together.

Rolings:
So why were you people claiming to be different?
You clearly are not different from those you want to displace
You just wan grab power like the others ....all the blackmailing, gaslighting and making enemies of your neighbors and friends .... While lying that you want to be different.

Last last the wind has blown and the Nyash of the cockrel is exposed

Saint Obi should not be caught in a mess like this but that's what you get when you try to take over a party that people have been building for over 20 years illegally using money while lying that "we no dey give shishi' and bribing Abure and his crew to give you the LP Presidential ticket.... We know a party gives it's ticket to those it feels could win and that's why LP gave the ticket to Obi but you people are hating on others for doing exactly what you did..... Hypocritical bunch

See, I have told you to stop involving me in your mass generalization. Was I part, if no stop the ropping

justified007:
So you keep track of who Tinubu felicitates with and who he didn't? Is that not the height of uselessness and unproductive? Go find work abeg and keep yourself busy with something meaningful.

I like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Bassirou Diomaye Faye for his victory in the Senegalese Presidential election. This triumph stands significantly as a testament to the beauty of democracy and the unwavering power of the people.

I commend the Senegalese people for their active participation in the polls and their dedication to shaping the future of their nation.A refreshing aspect of the Senegalese outcome is the relative youth of the president elect. If this trend towards youthful leadership takes hold, we may be heading towards the era of a new youthful leadership in Africa. The successful outcome of the election in Senegal serves as an inspiration to us all in the sub-region and indeed all of Africa, in reaffirming that the democratic process is anchored and rooted in the will of the people. I eagerly anticipate witnessing the progress and prosperity that this new leadership will bring to Senegal and the wider African continent.

This victory is inspirational and it is a huge boost to Nigerians who are resolute and tirelessly working to ensure that the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people are realized without hindrance in the years ahead.

Once again, congratulations to Bassirou Diomaye Faye and the people of Senegal. -PO

All these gibberish should have been perished in your fantasy


No amount of, propaganda, wailing or gnashing will make an Igbo man to become Nigeria president

helinues:
Would his congratulatory message put food on Nigerians or Senegalese table?

Why do you guys always find fault where there shouldn't have been one.

Is it to seek unnecessary attention?

Has nuclear reactor,Obi congratulates the new elected president in Senegal?

Btw, is public congratulations message a must, how about private phone call?

Akpabio should suspend him for 6 month without pay

Ofodirinwa:
nooo, not at all. The last primary she was the first serious contender to be eliminated. Biden just added her as VP in the end regardless. But even since then her popularity as sunk. There are not enough indians to matter in any election, and blacks don't like her. Her current approval rating is 37% https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/kamala-harris/

This is the second lowest approval rating on any VP in history, only lower than Dick Cheney to sent the country into a war in Iraq.

In Nigeria you guys get news from CNN which is just Democrat controlled propaganda, so they will make her look better and more viable than the rest of the country sees her. At the same time, Fox news will make the republican look good.

Black people are generally indifferent about her, some educated black women like her, but the average black person is indifferent or doesn't like her.

Ofodirinwa:
no she can't. She's unbelievably unpopular in the US and Obama/Hilary etc don't have much political capital left to lend. Nobody is going to listen to the wife of the president for 30 years ago, Biden who is already very unpopular. Maybe Obama, but she would get destroyed by Trump in the general elections and they all know it.
