superstarDikk:
where are the projects that middle belt got? Or is middle belt not a region?

I don't see any scripted plan anywhere Bros. Asides Road, which mega project is there in SE that we have been unable to fund of recent? Mambilla is a project we have known of for decades. Lagos rail makes sense as it has 40% of Nigeria GDP. Kano kaduna makes sense also. Kano is a huge commercial town too and distances in the north are much larger than in the east. And they are poorer up there and have less vehicular traffic. Don't forget a lot of Agricultural produce comes from up north. No insults please! Just put your views across like a mature adult o!

O I see, your nerves is calmed now!

Nothing do. 1 love

d solution to all dis nonsense is to recall all senators n HoR members for SE cos dey are of no use. first it was d NEDC bill passage with it's 3%vat now dis.

bankyman:
I think the SE not being captured in this spending speaks a lot about the country and the government (Good or Bad). Because there is a region called the SE means that when we spend on infrastructure they must be captured? But yes they should....

Looking at the spending, there is nothing in which the SE is asking for that is new? They are all projects initiated before this government, abandoned and now its being looked into to be revitalized and completed. If there is no project to be completed in the SE, it means their leaders have been playing with their future and they were dancing to the rhythm played by the bad leaders blindly or this government is reaaly bad and trying to sideline them.

So whats the noise for? Is it that none of the project wont benefit them? They claim to be the commercial capital (Topic for another day), so if they really are what they say they are, they should be the ones jumping for joy as it means quick and super access to raw materials across the federation.

Now few questions for Ndi Igbo

1. Why the support for GEJ who left you in this impoverished state?
2. Why support for anything anti PMB govt. yet cry for attention for him?
3. Why can't there be a regional organisation from all the SE states with the aim of putting infrastructures across the region?
4. Why situate most of your organisations in Lagos when you could have developed the SE and get the FG looking at the region?


My piece of advice is that Ndi Igbo should look inwards to come out stronger, you claim to be the best and have nothing to show for it. Take a cue from Lagos, if you develop yourself others will come looking for you (you didn't develop Lagos, all you guys did well was to swell the population with people who prefer substandard in bulk than little in quality, I'd really wish you guys got Biafra and leave). One of the reasons this borrowing is devoid of the SE is because there is nothing there to boost the economy really (not completely absent though), Population you don't have, resources is scarce, infrastructure too is devoid, you are intolerable to visitors, and the best brains are either in Lagos doing good or bad and the rest committing one form of illegality or the other thinking they are growing the economy.

Really I ask and I beg for answers What Is There to Invest In In the SE?

N.B

Lagos = ports, diversity, good governance, self dependency, "Oil"
North central, North West, North East = Population & Large expanse of Land
SS = Oil
SE =

u most b stupid for dat comment .if time for repayment comes u will now Remember one Nigeria.

Nice points Mr Mature Adult. But you should have read the comment i quoted before quoting me.

Who cares! Useless 5percentile, let then go and die!
On a serious note, the main infrastructure deficit in the SE are roads, and almost all federal roads in the region are captured in the budget and are currently been repaired. There hasn't been a viable rail project to the region due to its location. Also no dam project is viable in the region. So don't expect PMB to do things just because of your wailing. You people should have learnt something, its same with appointments and projects, so long he's satisfied it's the best decision, he goes for it!
And there are projects like financing the budget, social interventions and agricultural projects with no specific region, meaning the SE will benefit from those. So its not like the region isn't benefiting anything from the money.
Anyway like I said, who cares?

u will frist die before se just like boko h they kill ur family member in the north

Nobody is marginalizing igbos but instead they are the architect of their own marginalization and inferiorty due to their greedy acts. They benefited most during the GEJ era so they shouldnt be pissed off if they aint benefiting in this current administration. And besides they never gave buhari any form of support during the last election so whats the fuss.

The bigger question is, what does the super developed biafra want with Nigeria's money?

They want us to believe that the govt doesn't have conscience. NASS should correct this imbalance before approving this loan.

Are they still part of Nigeria ?

I think this is Nigeria building and thinking of life without the igbos, the only bone in contention is that of the other part of the south south. the igbos should stop complaining and forge ahead and prove to the rest of Nigeria that they can do without the money coming from their federal purse. in so doing they are also telling the world that they are ready to be on their own. the world is watching this Biafra vs Nigeria issue. it a test of the biafran resolve. we have survived for years without federal government presence up east.we can do without them. Igbo kwenu, rieh nu, muo nu, zuo nu.

and the north didn't benefit equally??

Ignorant folk all over NL. Projects that are purely infrastructure and some ppl are haggling over how a region will not benefit. Is the infrastructure for trees or immovable objects? Railways, electricity and roads can be of benefit to anyone from any part of the country as long as you have a choice on where to live. Even if the project (e.g. rail) is in your region and you live elsewhere, what good has that done for you personally than to simply feed your myopic sentiments.

I am not surprised even their ancestors planned it to be so, read the txt below

Discrimination of the highest order

Infrastructural Projects ($18.3 billion)

- Mambil­la Hydro Electric Power Project ($4.8 billion)

- Lagos to Calabar Coastal Railway Pro­ject: Calabar to Port-Harcourt Segment ($3.5 billion)

- Lagos-Kano Railway Project: Lagos to Ibadan Segment ($1.3 billion)

- Lagos-Kano Railway Project: Kano to Kaduna Segment ($1.1 billion)

- Abuja Mass Transit Rail Project Phase 2 ($1.6 billion)


Balance of $11 billion Breakdown

- Eurobond ($4.5 billion),

- Federal Govern­ment Budget Support ($3.5 bil­lion)

- Social Support for Educa­tion and Health ($2.2 billion)

- Agriculture ($1.2 billion)

- Economic Management and Statistics ($200 million).

Another needless thread to wail endlessly; the slavery is all in the mind and many have taken to wailing as hobby.

A very quick look through the list shows the projects are purely projects that benefit Nigeria as a whole, but to some, every single thing must be sectionalised for it to make sense to them. One begins to wonder whether the 3000mw of electricity that would be produced from the all important Mambilla dam project will be distributed only in Taraba state. One also begins to wonder whether the all important Calabar to Lagos Rail would not also be used by Nigerians of south eastern origins. Meanwhile this rail connects the Calabar Seaport and the Onne Seaport in Port-Harcourt and the rail goes through the industrial city of Aba; I never knew Aba had been erased from the South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Or maybe, when it isn't convenient for wailing purposes, Aba can be regarded as South-South.

Anyway, if wailers don't wail, who will?.. Nonsense!

Bros,

It is a case of idiocy multiplying and propagating at a surprising pace. I mean, how on earth could people be willfully daft? but I believe we shouldn't give up on daft wailers after all. Even the useless Authority took the jaundiced reportage off their website

Thanks Bro One love

No he means snakes from the wasteland brown roof republic who will betray their brothers from the south, snatch presidency from the south and deliver it to the cold hands of the North only so the South can be doled out crumbs and remnants of whatever lame scrap the govt gives them

Who betrayed u? Do we have any agreement to vote the same person. Even the SS ppl wey get pikin don move on teytey. The said person fumbled and to u that doesn't matter, he must be reelected irrespective of his performance because he's from the south...Continue crying u hear..

Hypocrite. You lump S.E and S.S. when it suits you then jump to another thread or forum to argue that SE is different from SS. Ain't you one of the most vocal guys here who call SE landlocked or use the term 'expansionist' to describe them when they ally with people from Rivers and Calabar areas? Like Buhari, you'll brand certain people Igbos even when they've rejected that identity.

South East was built on the sweat and blood of the Igbos. It exists because of the toils of the indigenes.

There is nothing wrong in asking the government to execute projects in that region. I'd rather the govt get the roads and other transport networks like railways working than bother with govt appointments. Lots of regions can't function without govt appointments. SE can function without that as long as there is fairness and equity in distribution of amenities.

Business men from the east have to come to Lagos to clear their goods then face the perilous adventure of moving them down with corrupt police, army and even the custom and excise men competing to empty their pockets.

Must everything be politics to you guys, why can't fed govt get the railways working like it's done in most part of the world to ease transport. These people contribute a lot to revenue.

Not a lot of people depend on sending multiple CVs to businesses. To those who want to establish businesses, fed govt should encourage and support them by creating friendly environment...provide steady power.

Not everyone is ipob, lots of people down in the east despise that movement and it's wrong to tar everyone with the same brush.

Buhari was asked by journalists about Igbo 'marginalisation'...he replied that he appointed Igbo men in key positions while mentioning emefiele and amaechi.!! Amaechi I'm sure would not like to be identified as Igbo.

Your submission is compelling. Nobody with a feeling will dismiss those issues you've raised.

I've always maintained that Mr. President hasn't done quite well making those careless remarks.

Even those agitating for Biafra aren't really after it, all they want is to be heard. Everyone deserves a look at.

Had things been going the way they should, they wouldn't even bother clamoring for self-governance.

In every government policy, there are winners and losers, but it calls for questions when the loser is always the same man..

May God guide us aright.

I appreciate your perception.

if that's the case, then let them go or stop collecting tax from that region

You captured everyhing but you were so foolish to say a lot of people in SE despised IPOB movement. You're the first person that have used a dregatory remark on this forum. You might be learned but you're a complete fool.

Clinton9000:
It's obvious this government has a scripted plan to marginalize and strangle Igbos to death. What these mofos don't understand is the more you marginalize Igbos, the more successful they get to be.

With all their success dey tend to b d ones hu complain d most

Just because you support it doesn't mean others do.

Yes a lot of people do not support IPOB...
Where did I use derogatory remark in my post. Kindly point it out.

Not a lot of people support ipob. Do you have problem with? I don't and I know people who don't.

Talk about 'oganiru ndi igbo'...I am all for it 100% and will devote resources to support its success not listen to people spreading g lies and embarrassing the Igbos.

Hope you are one of those claiming to have the best fighter jets, tanks and millions of well trained soldiers?

The younger generation should stand up and reject this bill.
They have listed what the loans will be used(though we know they lack integrity to fulfill that) but they havent told us how they plan to repay it.
They just want to collect the billions and settle their generations yet unborn while we and our kids continue to pay for it.
They are literally mortgaging our future and we are too sentimental to see it.
What happened to the trillions they claim they have recovered from TSA? What happened to the trillions they claim they got from diezani?
