Why can't you develop your state?

The Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, Ossai Ovie Success, has expressed disappointment in a post on X, claiming that the Igbos developed Asaba, the capital of oil-rich Delta State.

The claim was made by a user named Chinee Okoloigwe, who alleged that Asaba was developed due to the migration of Igbo men from neighbouring Onitsha.

@chineekol said, "Asaba is like that developed extension of Onitsha by Onitsha residents that they abandoned Onitsha for.

If not for the Onitsha residents, Asaba wouldn't be the developed Asaba of today."

In response, Ovie Success wondered why Onitsha people cannot develop their state but choose to migrate to Asaba.

He said, "I am disappointed in you for this statement. Why can't you guys develop your state?"

In another post, he wrote, "Asaba is more developed than your state at the moment. Best place for business, Health, Tourism, Education and security."

Other X users also waded in to disprove the claim that Igbos developed Asaba.

@davovia said, "Igbos are their own undoing. There is something typically wrong with the way you are all wired mentally. Arrogating what belongs to others and finding yourself always interfering in people's affairs is why you are hated everywhere."

@IgnatusOnianwa said, 'The postulation that Onitsha boys developed Asaba is a shallow argument that jettisons other important factors. The question is what attracted the so-called Onitsha boys to come to Asaba? There is something unique about the town that warrants them to come."

@papacharlesoge said, "Did we build any roads or hospitals? We give ourselves too much credit. Ndi Onitsha simply capitalised on the developmental stride of the Delta state government and the safety in Asaba. I know a couple of people already coming back to Onitsha because of the bad road."

@gozie_recon said, "This is a false submission, though recent findings by Realtors show that there's a good percentage of investors from Igbo tribes. A lot of people from other tribes have a good amount of investment in the city. You can't say Nigerians developed the UK just because of high immigration."

It's a big problem which Chinua Achebe alredy described in his book 'There was a country' about the flaws of his own tribesmen and women.

When a country is populated by an enornous number of foolish souls from a particular section of it territory foolish n senseless submmission such as this is what you get.

That's why the Asaba man no gree for her. At all, at all.

And those that supported Buhari for 8 years and rewarded Tinubu by supporting him for his role in supporting Buhari to destroy Nigeria will now be called what?

The bigger question people like you should be asking is why a whole state government is agitated about an unknown person's tweet, terrorists are throwing party with threats on Tik Tok and the government isn't concerned, a lady tweets her own opinion without threats but they are agitated and you people are here t o promote it.

For those who have been mentioning me

The girl never mentioned any state in the first place not even tribe, go back and read it and see, she was specific with just 2 cities that are close in proximity but the SSA saw it to drag the whole state for comparison and Yorubas decided to drag the whole tribe...

Awon Developers 😂😂

So giving her a reply is now an agitation. Some people are inherently silly.

You want to tell me that you didn't hear Tinubu talk about the need for state police to curb the menace of insecurity, Mr Developer. 😁

if they were not agitated would they reply her ?

A government that has time to be replying mere tweets by unknown people ?

..FDL's..always crying ..drinking Panadol for other people's Problem..

..when Bwala..the new messiah of the front desk Laptop crew..said a place is a no man's land..they were silent & licking their wounds..quiet..because he is a Northerner...

..i will not be surprised that they created that fake Profile to gaslight the people they llve to hate...

..like you can see..they are nöt even from SS..but crying more than the bereaved..

That is how they are, accommodate them is either they claim ownership of your property or they are the ones that did everything for you. Very unfortunate beings

Has he done it? he has promised so many things, how many has he done? wait till he does it before you praise him for it...

The Nairaland Laptop collectors who are not from Delta or the ND in general are now speaking for Delta State.

An official has has released a statement to that regards, but you see those creatures who supported Tinubu & Buhari to chase GEJ out of Office are now showing how much they llike us more than ourselves.

They will soon tell you that our neigbours from the East are not indigenous to Delta state

He wasn't silent as you had claimed. That is the point.

So you are telling me Tinubu only came to talk and not do anything as president concerning insecurity?

He doesn't want to set up vigilantes so we don't experience what was experienced in Anambra. Institutionalizing State policing takes time.

Yes!

Is that what Tinubu promised Nigerians that they will keep dying and getting kidnapped till he sets up state police?

So why was he in a hurry to be president if after 2 years of him being in office he has still been unable to setup state police?

Chai , na you take your mouth agree o

The argument is not necessary,either way,we the people of Asaba, we are aboriginal Igbos,we,plus our brothers and all others from every parts of Delta state developed Asaba. The past and present government did well to make Asaba a priority.
