Even if this escobar wants let him create abortion development commission, we know who our votes belong to period.
We are waiting for 2027.

Mtchewwww.... That was what they said about NDDC that year.

The rest is ancient history of endless shocking corruption and embezzlement.

The governments across the East must collaborate with their various house of assembly to make laws to sanitize religious practices. The recent shenanigans must be tactically stopped.

1. Before you are approved to work as a junior pastor in any church, you must have a masters degree from a reputable theological institution with other stringent requirements including clean character, you can't just go and interpret what you don't know in the name of "calling this and calling

that".
2. Before you are approved to work as a senior pastor in any church, you must have a PhD from a reputable theological institution with several years of experience and other stringent requirements.
3. Before you are approved to open a church or prayer ministry or any religious organization, you must have a PhD from a reputable theological institution with several years of experience, mentorship from a respected church owner, clean character and other stringent requirements.

4. Before you are approved to work as an assistant native doctor in any shrine, you must have a masters degree from a reputable witchcraft/traditional institution with other stringent requirements including clean character, you can't just go and do whatever you like and get away with it.
5. Before you are approved to work as a senior native doctor in any shrine, you must have a PhD from a reputable witchcraft/traditional institution with several years of experience and other stringent requirements.
6. Before you are approved to open a shrine or any traditional religious organization, you must have a PhD from a reputable witchcraft/traditional institution with several years of experience, mentorship from a respected shrine owner, clean character and other stringent requirements.

7. Before you are approved to work as an imam or Muslim cleric in any mosque you must have a masters degree from a reputable muslim theological institution with other stringent requirements including clean character, you can't just go and interpret what you don't know in the name of calling this, calling that.
8. Before you are approved to work as a senior imam/clearic in any mosque, you must have a PhD from a reputable islamic theological institution with several years of experience and other stringent requirements.
9. Before you are approved to open a mosque or any Islamic prayer ministry or any islamic religious organization, you must have a PhD from a reputable Islamic theological institution with several years of experience, mentorship from a respected mosque owner, clean character and other stringent requirements.

Existing religious institutions and preachers should be given one year to meet these requirements or close down.

Even foreign guest preachers invited to preach or foreigners who want to open any religious organization must meet these requirements with more scrutiny.

This will not in anyway infringe on anyone's right to worship. It will not work against the existing constitutional rights to association or worship rather it will strengthen it.

If there are requirements to become a banker, lawyer, doctor and all that,  they should be requirements to become a cleric.

They actions of the clerics, priests and pastors have direct impacts on men, women, youths, families and the society at large and thus should not be left for anything that goes, as it is right now.

Note: I'm a born again Christian but what we have witnessed in recent years calls for check and balances in these religious  institutions.

This is quite an ambitious target, $200b in 10years. If you ask me why I'm screaming, you may soon find out. As I was saying, this could be likened to "project rebuilding the SE". Going by the figures in the article, SE economy is currently at $40b, which means the plan is to increase the GDP by 20%, an average of 2% a year.
The FG's projection is a $1trillion GDP by 2030. That's a 5year plan ( medium), compared to SouthEast's $200b in 10years, which could be estimated at $100b in 5years. Therefore, in 5years, SE is projecting a 10% of Nigeria's total GDP in 5years, that's quite ambitious, bro.
To settle pretty well into this, therefore the start off approach has to be holistic, aggressive and effective. First off, the economic activities in the SE has to kick back up, which literary means that the unending sit at home has to come to an end immediately before other set goals will have to follow. Investment in the SE is absymally low both for local and FDI, that would have to improve and accelerated by every means necessary, more internet penetration, more bankable residents, and all of that, inorder to spread inclusivity to the far remote areas. More importantly, the larger majority have to change and redirect their mindsets towards Government's projects. The negative insinuations motivated by political colouration have to be reduced to the minimal. An instance where some group of people describe a costal project the neighbouring SS states as an highway to fraud, is nothing but absolutely ridiculous. A $200billion regional economy will encourage as much as possible any infrastructural projects as massive as the coastal road project that will potentially open up the SE region to more economic attraction. Pls, you need to stop the pessimism about the project henceforth.
Then again, the SEDC board must be independent off the whims and caprices of the Governors. There will be a hell amount of pressure to shares around some funds but they need to grow some ball of steel. The NASS members who nominated them will also be having a thirsty throat, wielding their power to remove and reshuffle the membership if they don't play ball.
I hope they will be able to handle all of these in the interests of the SE people. Hopefully, the new kids on the block (SEDC members) will prove to be different from the old salt ( the Governors).

Which useless votes?. Three elections back to back to back, your votes were useless, nobody needs it, keep it or waste it. The President is not doing what he has to do because of some useless votes.

Afrobasic:
$200 billion? 200 billion dollars kwa?

Can we be realistic for once in this godforsaken country

viodemus:
Nzuzu people (nde nzuzu). Stark aloof.

First point of failure is believing and totally in cohort with those the real nigerians (sw and core north), remember their islamics affiliations. How can you manage the show with them, and they are the ones with mean toys, while you are the only sincere hardworking one. Then if they are loosing, or decide to be arrogant, they can overturn your success in no time. But if they know that an Igbo nation is solid with the people and have very mean sophisticated toys -- they will be humble; They might secretly try to destabilize the igbo nation, but when they have tried and seen that the great region is covered with people with foresight and have the igbo nation interest at heart, after a while, they will respect theirselves, and learn to coexist as border nations.


200 billion dollars in 10 years sounds good, but that is too small and a timid type of hope, for the future of an igbo nation.

In a wise Igbo nation, by 10 years, igbo nation without war, can be a 2 to 3 trillion dollars economy, without war. With ongoing war, it can be 500 billion economy,


Without getting into too much perspective, due to the ndi iro and igbo haters around, a 2 to 3 trillion annual economy is possible. Am not even hedging this on resources extraction and sales, am basing it on a serious, planned, simple, clear, and respectable economics; while respecting the limitations.


The igbos can't build ships, planes, cars, data centers, space shuttles, military, etc all in igbo areas; but with smart respectful alliance, you can do it all.


A few ideas,

-build passenger and cargo trains from Agbor to ph, with the possibility of it extending into edo. Because if Nigeria breaks, and yorubas claim an inch of edo or indigenous igbos there are discriminated or face genocide, then the igbos will push the line to protect it's people. when all the dust settles, the trains can start from there, and go all the way to Rivers, with plans to extend into Cameroon if there is mutual understanding for the program.


- for someone like me, I will push for laws where you can't buy land, but you can lease land for business. Residential areas will be residential areas, except for some essential exemptions. For me, I will say, build same types of luxurious apartments that can be pieced together in 3 months or even 1 month. These apartments will be large with a storage sites beside them, they will have lifts, etc. Anyway, without saying much, it will be well planned. The point is, knowing you have enemies around, you will be a fool, to go and spend your 200 billion building skyscrapers. What if hausa/fulani or yorubas attack you with correct toys, that means they will wreck you to disarray; but if you are well planned, they will wreck, but it will be easily redone in no time.


Then, knowing that there is an igbo nation, do you know how many people like african Americans, europe, Caribbean, Americas, around Africa, even yorubas, even oyibos, that will want to come and visit, to enjoy themselves, working, etc. Many blacks and others worldwide want to come, is just that right now, igbos are still primitive in thinking, in vision, in many things; So, they just hold back with their disappointments.


Places like Jamaica, haiti, Trinidad, etc even other african countries, can have mutual manufacturing agreement.

Anyway, let me stop here for now. Is deeper and detailed than expressed here. It will still go over some aloof heads.

He acknowledged the enormous task ahead, citing the World Bank’s requirement of a $10 billion annual investment for 30 years to bridge the infrastructure gap in south east.

IGBOPROMISE1:
There's a lot in your post i agree with! A large part of our problem as a people is our excessive trusting nature....feeling too comfortable sharing the same country with groups who hate our guts passionately! Now we're clapping our hands thinking we can get a $200 billion economy (which as you pointed out is even a poor ambition) in the Nigeria of today where certain groups and individuals have it in for us and have it as their lifes ambition to sabotage Igbo economic and political interests while at the same time cornering a disproportionate amount of projects, benefits and economic enablers to their own regions and to companies owned by their own kinsfolk!
