Adaure babe...dreaming live!
Nice dream though...but the dream is fantastically ridiculous

mayorbch:
Good.
However, I beg to correct a notion. The senators and members of house of Representatives, according to your idea, are to contribute money from their purse right? This is the impossible part.

Do you think they would contribute a dime and allow a stranger to manage the bulk money? Mistrust and suspicion would destroy the commission even before it is commissioned.

Anyway, I like the idea a lot but where would the state government get money from since the remnant of the state funds embezzled or misappropriated wouldn't be enough to pay teachers let alone repair Port Harcourt road in Aba.

Assuming the Southeast is able to partner with an investor to tap into the coal deposits in Enugu to generate electricity, the country Nigeria that I know would fantastically frustrate such partnership. I don't even want to talk about what the "owners" of the coal would demand and hence a new form of militancy would be given birth to.

Though your forecast isn't entirely impossible, but considering the politics of the day, I daresay that it is impossible.

Ndo

the Igbos should realize that they are on their own in this country.
Our fathers did it by building sam mbakwe airport on their own without FG support, why can't we copy them?

EmmaFantastic:

That was because as we read in history and learnt from our parents, Nigeria at that time, was practising proper federalism which entails regionalism and goes with full resource control, so their destiny was fully in their hands. That's the only solution...really!

alade112:

When Nairaland had real Igbos devoid of Jonathan's paid agents and IPOB we engaged in fruitful discussions. People like Onlytruth, Asha80 not Chino's Asha90 clone and Ogbuefi alongside me were almost drawing out a good plan.

The most important thing is integrated fast rail system and optimal power generation for the entire zone. We have the money. If Igbos will ever agree I can personally donate 20million Naira as contribution for fast rail. I know others willing to drop 100 to 300 million here in Port Harcourt but the problem remains inability to agree on anything.

It is vital for us for Akwa Ibom to have a functional deep sea port.

OP, please include our brothers in Delta north and Rivers States.

You must realize that Igboland is bigger than SE as fraudulently defined by the Nigerian oppressors.

Abagworo is the spell on you affecting your empty stomach too? Someone that sleeps and wakes up on Nairaland is talking about money.

Please go and do something about that shanty you and your poor old mother is living in. Again don't mention me again or you want me to be on your matter. Hopeless poverty infested old clown.

By the way am in PH right now. Choose any location of your choice we shall come there and meet you. Public place..

wrong, they did that after the war, then regionalism have been destroyed.

Anything about S.E development dey always totori me. U made really good points but I dont think any state will agree to the payment plan. I rather think each state can key into those areas u mentioned individually while working together for road construction. Anambra already shows that t can be done, but then imagine Anambra and Enugu state governors working together to complete that express way. Imagine Imo state keying into Geometric power whatever at Abia state (hope I got the name right) to ensure constant power supply in both states. Imagine more rice mills in Ebonyi state (their governor recently released lands to members of the executive for compulsory farming) added to the agricultural development ongoing in Anambra state. Imagine Imo state upgrading its university to international standard while continuing the policy of non-indigenes paying more than indigenes..... added to the Las-Vegas-like environment being created in Owerri considering almost everywhere is being taken over by hotels. Imagine Abia government cleaning up the markets and creating befitting places for those industrious artisans. I just wanna say while t may b hard to get them to pool money together for the development of S.E, individual states can develop themselves n when this z done, d whole S.E will b developed. Anambra have shown us that its possible if our leaders want to, so I think leaders in other states should emulate that for the overall development of the S.E.

One Of My Deep passionate dreams is to see a well developed South East Geopolitical Zone.
South East comprise of 5 states, Abia, Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and for this states to be developed, they need to be centralized and united in planning.

Number 1
Setting Up A South East Developing Cooperation(SEDC) that will be sponsored by the 5 SE state governments.
