All of Africa is run from Europe, the only reason that airport was built is cause it serves a particular need for the Europeans that run Nigeria, And if you and or your children think anything about Nigeria is cause of you, you and or your children are dreaming.

As one European Scientist who is among the scholars the rulers of the world consult for advice put it, dont be fooled into thinking we are going to allow everybody in the world to achieve European standard of living, and his exact words were "that will be like a pack of locusts descending on the earth "

If the Europeans have thier way those kids are more likely to get the poison jab well before any state support for normal life.
But they need the infrastructure, not the people.

Dafresh:

That means you don't know what you're saying.

Politicians are hypocrites. Believe they have the interest of the masses at your peril.

Lifestone:
Our leaders must be ready to be accountable to the people. If you can't stand the heat, what are you doing in the kitchen?

Accountability to politicians is like crucifix to vampires.

legitnow1:



AT LEAST, YOU GET IT.


HE JUST POSED A GROUP OF KIDS IN FRONT OF THE AIRPORT AND TAKE PICTURE TO WRITE HIS RUBBISH.



HOW IS THE PICTURE FAIR ON THE KIDS?

He should have shown the merit or demerits of the Airport rather than playing it down the achievements of the administration that built The Airport. Unprofessional of him



Not fair on the kids either.


If you wait till there are no poor ones in the society before you build an airport, you will wait forever to build any infrastructure.

Bhella5:
Are there beggars in Ebonyi?

The most dumb are senseless question of the Millenium. I wonder how you people's brain work... SENSE DEY PAIN YOU?

Bad policies of APC have introduced Almajiri system of hunger management to the southeast, what APC cannot mismanage does not exist.

Let's look at it from this perspective...
Imagine you are the journalist...
You saw children eating from crumbs,
You took out your camera,
You snapped the poor children,
You posted it on internet, and then turned out to blame the "government" for what exactly?
Can't you take responsibility for once in your life?
Imagine if you dipped your hands in your pocket and brought out at least #5000 (which is very small to you) and gave those children to eat without making noise,, won't it be more humane than publicising the faces of those poor children?
And everybody here is even blaming Umahi that he should not have built an airport...God have mercy. See the kind of people I'm sharing the country with and we expect to have any kind of development...

Does anyone here remember what happened to that photographer that snapped one child that was about to be eaten by a vulture?
If that photographer had taken responsibility, how would the story have turned out to be?

GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO EVERYTHING FOR US. IT IS HIGH TIME WE STARTED THINKING OF WHAT WE CAN DO FOR NIGERIA INDIVIDUALLY!!!
That journalist should be sued for defamation of minors and be made to pay heavily to their families.

helinues:
Why should they suspend the journalist?

I did not see anything wrong with the photos. Poverty is everywhere except if we want to be deceiving ourselves

That's seen through hypocrisy on the part of Ebonyi State government.
Never been an occasion while children are allowed to seat at high table to dine with adults, never during my village growing period.
For us then eating leftover was a relish.

BluntCrazeMan:

The INEC and the National Assembly (NASS) should know this:
“If the Nigerian Laws can allow Voters to download and login to a Secured ‘ONE-USER-PER-DEVICE’ Type of Voting Software or App, where ONLY ONE voter can login and synchronise his details on one device alone before the election day, and also vote ONLY on that same device he had already earlier logged-in before the election day,
then Nigeria can achieve a perfect REMOTE Electronic-Voting Option for Voters In Diaspora.”

Clap for yourself. You think you just discovered a way of doing electronic voting now that is foolproof.

Just to burst your bubble.
If you do this, someone will vote multiple times on the same device by changing the MAC address of the device after each voting. And this can be automated to generate millions of vote in a short time.

And someone like bala blu might not even need to campaign again, he might just host IT experts in a room to deliver the millions of votes on election day and may even go the extra mile of making sure you are unable to vote on your on computer so that the IT experts can vote with your credentials after changing the MAC address of their device to your device MAC address.

Coly2012:
Oga am igbo, and am telling you that we have high number of beggers here most expecially of ebonyi state.

You are wrong for saying we have high number of beggers in ìgbo land.
Every state in nigeria has some less privilege that are hungry and begging for food but it is minimal in ìgbo land.

Meanwhile North has high rate of beggers especially north east zone, may be because of the chaos going on there for the past 10 years now (terrorist attack).

N/B: I'm an igbo man and base in Igboland but had traveled to more than 15 states in Nigeria and I'm still open to travel around the 36 states in the future.

How did they got into the arena in the first place, because structure like this are distance from residential area where children hardly walk into

Mitchy49:
The hungry young kids there are not indigene of the state. They are from Kano, Borno state. Nobody from the southeast can ever go hungry. I'm not Igbo but I have never seen an Igbo Beggar.

Of course that's a well orchestrated propaganda.

Mitchy49:


Are you sure about this?
If true, what are u doing to take them off the streets?

that's not his responsibility

RecentHistory:
Most of those insulting Umahi and talking down on Umahi are fellow Igbos.

The enemy of any Igbo man anywhere is another Igbo man.

No, in this particular case, the true enemy is the one who resorts to tribalism to defend the indefensible. What excuse can there be for suspending a journalist for doing his job by documenting the truth? And how can anyone defend squandering huge sums of money on an airport while leaving children so hungry they are eating leftovers on the tarmac? Do you not feel even the slightest empathy for those children? Don't you ever stop to think "There but for the grace of God go I"? Or maybe you think their suffering and deprivation will magically go away as long as nobody reports on it or criticizes the governor who allows it to fester, all in the name of "tribal solidarity".

Nigerians started eating on the dung hill since the 80s after Shagari and his NPN party embezzled almost everything. But when you want to be stupid you will criticize anything your enemy does. That journalist was just being mischievous and I hope he learn some lessons from his incarceration.

I have seen alot lol.... Ask celebrities about the modified and disguised beggars who always slide into their DM. Go and check. However, go to Europe and see how white people spit on them (nyamuris) and turned the females among them into sex slaves. Lol I'm not even talking about about the prison inmates o, we are just on the issue of begging.

Dafresh:

Ebonyi mall is even better you need to see the gigantic mall he also built in his home town UBURU plus that big for nothing University the school fees can build three bedroom flat school fees is 4million

Some of these poto poto region people will still link this issue with Tinubu.

what Nigeria needs is industries.. nothing all this white elephant and useless projects like airports or flyovers..


we need alot of industrial cities and private power plants that will power this industrial cities...


we need what will create jobs and not useless meaningless projects

Wow 😲😳😲😳

MetaPhysical:


I believe the photo journalist was suspended more for revealing ibo children performing rituals their elders deny exist, than for questioning the discretion of the government.

Na only Hausa and Yoruba get almajiri, Ibo no get....at least till now.

PeachtreeReside:

Abakaleke clown claiming yoruba woman. This ebonyi people sef 🤣

emperor4love:

My uncle is in Eke Ekwulobia I leaved with him for fives he kills cow so what I see is Ebonyians hawking not begging

Why don't u stick to what you have seen rather than assuming nonsense

But it's not only the Igbos that slide into celebrities' DM to beg na. I've not been to any European country to ascertain the veracity of this claim

Whose responsibility is it then?
