To Think you want to tax people for this kind of unaccountable spending ..

Richtaiwo:
Zonal development commissions are, by design, staffed largely by people from the very zones they are meant to develop. The SEDC cannnot be an exception to this rule of thumb.

So, in plain language, they were handed N140 billion to fix their own backyard and somehow managed to turn it into a bonfire of excuses, because, of course, there is always Tinubu to blame. Accountability took one look at the situation and quietly relocated abroad.

Anyway, this group has a rare talent for acrobatics in logic. They can twist reason into shapes that even a baby goat would stare at in disbelief. Just sit back and enjoy the show as they attempt to explain this spectacular mess with straight faces and mental gymnastics.

AI slurps

Is this the dearth of intelligence as we know it?

Meanwhile, back to the topic. Have Been wondering same myself. With your support though, we can investigate and report the full story.

Mightymanna:
The commission must be filled by federal character Hausa and yorubas. Nigeria should stop marginalization of Igbos

Those armed robber had already shared the money amongst themselves. The money is shared already now. Armed robbers politicians. Nigeria na big joke.

delpee:
NEDC has been functioning well. At least we've seen the commissioning of schools and other infrastructure. The others should do the same to make life easier for their people.

Waiting to see the impact of SWDC.

Na SW dey give una life? Why not focus on holding your own leaders accountable?

Be rest assured the DAWN-backed and directed SWDC, as Amotekun is the best regional complementary security force to the NPF in our entire nation, will be the best regional development commission in Nigeria. Take that to the bank.

Omo ur arsenal nor be here... u mean dem befòre

Some of you deserve serious flog...ging because you spend the whole day reading news, yet you don't know how your country works.

FYI, budgets are financial plans. Approving a budget is one thing while funding projects is another.

Let's wait for a response from the commission

NDDC and now SEDC.

Biggest blames on those who represents all Southeast simply because Tinubu government made it clear that every region and state have equal rights in his government

Since our leaders don't want to do anything with the money they allocate to them, is better federal government do the work themselves or share the money to Nigeria citizens, we can't continue like this, every year one particular people will steal money meant for development, it hs to stop, if it won't stop, they should share this money to everyone in this country.
This is my opinion

These unnecessary Interventionist Agencies are meant to compensate political patronage!

Ab initio, there was no need for South East Development Commission, because it has become Geopolitical affair. Every Geopolitical zone now has a Development Commission.

The original South East Development Commission was meant to be an intervention to ameliorate the losses and destruction occasioned by the civil war

IduNaOba:
What has others achieved with the own allocation

Stay off social media. It’s not doing your mental health any good.

Are you truly an Igbo man? What kind of question did you just ask? How could you?

Your reasoning is embarrassing for an Igbo man.

None of the development commissions is doing anything tangible
The NDDC is so corrupt that billions where paid from their accounts into a military officers account by instruction of a non member fSylva for a coup

Those people are corrupt. Same way Niger Delta could not account for anything despite collecting huge amount of money. Nothing can change this country. The masses are even the worst.

CorrectionFLuid:
.
How will it achieve anything when it's members are installed by whoever is the president. As long as positions remain political settlements, Africa will never develop.


Exactly


Nothing. We are only hearing that of sedc because HRW is kinda pro Igbo at the moment.

Are the people appointed not from your region?. You keep making excuses for those looting away your future while barking at the wrong tree. I no dey pity una.

Well, more reason why the USA should invade Nigeria to root out corrupt elements from our country. Can you imagine SEDC that was just set up yesterday? Development funds allocated to it has been allegedly stolen. It is well o

Arostar2023:
Yaa. You hand-picked APC men to handle SEDC and you expect results? Well the federal government is in charge of the EFCC, what stopped them for prosecuting those who wasted government funds?

To you everything is about APC, that's why you always have a narrow mentality. Is the MD of the commission a member of APC?. Were your Governors and lawmakers in your region handpicked by APC to warrant their abysmal performances?.

SeeWahala:
Mschew See who is talking. They think we do not know what they are doing 😏

How can you create a new parastatal and put someone like Orji Uzor Kalu to head it? someone that Igbos themselves know will never return your yam whole after you give him to help you keep it for 1 minute

That SEDC was doomed to die right from its inception. It was just created to share money to APC goons in the south east side of Nigeria 🤗

See the mobs we are sharing a country with, low mental capacity to read and understand is their common denominator.

The Nigerian federal government is a big,dysfunctional, corrupt mess.You have opaquely run government companies like NNPC.We have ministries for housing, works and everything under the sun and then you have all these useless development commissions. Yet the country still have poor infrastructure and high level insecurity after they claim to have spent humongous amounts of money every year.They have been stealing oil money and it is not enough, now the next big thing is taxes.

Pakute:
https://guardian.ng/news/huriwa-tasks-sedc-on-achievements-amid-n140b-budget/

that’s is y they need anioma in south east 😅

50% of such money should have been given to Lagos state since she is the one accommodating over 65% of the south easterners.

HURIWA shouldn't bother, the beneficiaries are still complaining about bad governance in Lagos and ogun state.

That is what I keep on harping.
We don't have an income problem.
We have a SPENDING problem.

Collect all the oil receipts (Saudi amounts), collect all the taxes (Finland levels), incur all the debts possible (to Japan's depths), recover all the loots and repatriations as far back as slave trade.

If you have a spending and accountability problem like this financially sick in the head country. EVERYTHING will be wasted and the intended development will remain a mirage.

Like someone was saying today.
The easiest way to steal public resources is the veneer of service. Do the things the public badly needs even at a million times the cost and you will get away with it. As a matter of fact, you will be hailed and praised.

That is why the social intervention programs have sprung the vilest cases of theft, followed closely by the almighty scams of public works, popularly known as infrastructure, where hyper inflated so called contracts are awarded, shoddily done and hopelessly supervised.

This is the reasons why even if Biafra is formed today, it won't make any difference in development.

Senate Committee Chairman on SEDC, Orji Uzor Kalu, and the Chairman of the Governing Board, Emeka Wogu,

And where did I make any excuses? Is everyone from my region a saint? Does nepotism drive the appointments for those who head these commissions or not. Everything to you na tribalism

helinues:
Hahahaha , even though the 2 years of sit at home was about SEDC yet nothing to show for it after approved.

Can people see the reason why Kanu won't be released anytime soon .

Kanu is yet to get his share, they have already squandered the money

Very funny 😆.

You are no different from the purported persons that you are hypocritically complaining about.
