Pls, can somebody tell me how on earth the SE is marginalized, they have 5 states with governors, yet nothing to show for it and they claim they will turn Biafra into mini USA.Stupidity is really genetic.

Yet, Okorocha decides to owe salaries and pensions to dying workers and pensioners by donating millions to build IDP schools.
Who took his brains

WHOcarex:
The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, was in Adamawa to inspect the plot of land allocated to him by the State Government to build a secondary school for the internally displaced children.

“This is a clarion call to all Nigerians now to think about the displaced persons in our society and those who are disadvantaged from going to school.

“Most great men of the world are people from poor homes and nations that have neglected their poor ones are nations not willing to grow because there are more wisdom in the families that do not have than the families that have plenty.

“Let us not forget these poor ones because we do not know who is going to find solution to HIV, the hunger in the world or who is going to redeem Africa,” he said.

While Governor Okorocha plans to build a school for the children and the less privileged in the state, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has also donated drugs to the IDPs in Yola.

The agency’s representative explained that they were aware of the possibility of health challenges setting in at the camps and felt that it was important to make such precautionary move.

Both governors of Imo and Adamawa have asked other Nigerians to assist in rebuilding the state.

According to the Internally Displaced Monitoring Centre, Nigeria has the highest number of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa, totaling about 3.3 million.

Over 2.3 million have been displaced in the northeast, including over 1.4 million children.

If we from the south east all voted against Buhari, he wont have been the president... Only say what u are sure of


Let me educate you

Is Buhari still contesting with Jonathan? Why drag Jonathan into every discussion? ROCHAS is complaining that the APC for which he made serious contribution towards their victory in the last election has not rewarded him, his state (IMO) and his region ( SE) fairly. Is ROCHAS now a PDP advocate or a Jonathanian?

To be candid with you, your obsession with Jonathan is toxic and could give you HB pressure if not checked. Stop running from thread to thread to attack someone who's grace you'll never get till you die. God makes and deposes kings. In the meantime, pray for Buhari.

rochas is just waking up from slumber unfortunately he woke on the wrong side.

Sha any time person wake na im morning be dat.
So Okorocha don wake now
Ok

EternalTruths:
Political illiterate

Nnamdi Kanu told Igbos not to vote Jonathan because he is weak in breaking up Nigeria

Oh, you mean like in this topic here?

https://www.nairaland.com/2726858/further-evidence-nnamdi-kanu-campaigned


Nonsense.

..... what can I say. After running around they all come back to THE POINT. And after flattery they all speak THE TRUTH which hurts and cuts across party lines, interests and advantages. This is the bottom line. Rochas is positioning himself at the centre because he knows time is gradually slipping away. At the end of the day this is the problem with Nigeria, a structural one which administration after regime has failed to address but they pretend to.... and expect Nigeria to get better.... which it simply can't.

TPAND:
Okorocha is right South-East has been marginalized in this country. But with Osinbajo as president, I am confident he will put things right and redistribute the Buhari's 95% to the four cardinal regions of Nigeria

*97%*

Owelle have said something good,this time....Kudos

owobokiri:
Few days after calling a meeting to rally igbo elites to support buhari till 2023, then this Is this man thinking at all?? Rochas brought this to himself and should be held totally accountable for this... The marginalization of the south east under buhari is now getting out of hand and those of them that supported him and fought for him and rigged elections for him in the SE have to be held TOTALLY responsible for what is going on. They carried on against all advice as if there was something they knew we didn't know, but events have proven that they did what they did for personal gratifications. To mortgage the interests of the SE just because you want to support your political friends is not the reason imo people elected Okorocha. Onu, Okorocha and Ngige need to explain what came over them..

The marginalisation in the SE today, is it worse that what happened under the last admin which many brainwashed people in the zone still revere as God-sent? Kindly mention the projects that were built in those 5 years of massive income of the last admin which makes you think it was better than this one with regards to the SE?... And please dont tell me nonsense about appointing Igbos to go fill their personal pockets in govt offices, I need tangible projects.

If you cant name at least 5 tangible projects then we would know who the real fools are between the many who wanted to kill themselves to perpetuate Jona or the ones who said they were tired and wanted to try something new.

That's the more reason we are clamoring for restructuring or better still, an INDEPENDENT STATE BIAFRA.

HungerBAD:
Sad.

The clueless one released Billions Of Naira to the East, for the develop of the region. But unfortunately the Clueless Otueke Drunk, released the money to.

A-PIUS ANYIM
B-CHIEF IWUANYANWU
C-EKWEREMADU

Let us start first from the aforementioned names, before we start naming the other Eastern Contractors. The problem with the East is not the Government, the Yoruba or even the Fulani.

Questions should be asked from those collecting money on their behalf.

The Easterners are their own Problems.

Guy, i tire o. The East and the South-South gets its own share of yearly allocation. What are they doing with it?

Yet they would blame Buhari or the Hausas and Yorubas when we are all getting allocations.

You are on point bro.....
the self centeredness in the region is alarming...all they think of is their pocket not minding the masses

Studies have it that Jonathans administration ballooned the middle class more than any other administration since the war... Essentially, Jonathans administration created the biggest middle class growth in this country through pure free market instruments and you know what? The biggest quantity of people that moved into the middle class full time during this time was the igbo. That was due to their activities in the informal sector of the economy were enhanced liberal policies that deregulated a lot of trading/manufacturing areas favored them to no end. That, you can notice by the recognizable improvements in the living standards of the aveerage igbo during this period.., new houses, new cars and greater ability to provide needed consumables to their families.

I wont go into his across the board "open-minded" policies that favored the igbo a lot in those areas as recruitment in the army, immigration and the civil service.., something that never happened since the war. . In the end, the igbo didn't vote for him because he is igbo, he is not! Neither did they vote for him because the other ghoulish guy is a fulani, Yaradua was! Igbo voted for Jonathan because to a relative level, he resembled a candidacy that wanted a level playing ground for all ethnic groups in the country. Igbo culture thrives on fair competitions.

Those of you that always heckle the igbo for voting Jonathan haven't explained to us how/why you voted against buhari three times, only to see the angel in him the fourth time! Osibande

This just goes to show that Rochas has some good in him. He has been lying all along with the hope the government at the center will prove his words to Igbo people but unfortunately the man from Daura doesn't give a flying fvck about Igbo people and Rochas eye don clear and now we expect him to keep saying the truth instead of telling us the opposite of what we already know. I wonder what Abagworo will say about, seeing that he started supporting Buhari and APC because of Rochas.

Jeffboi:
“Given the roles that I personally played as a sacrificial lamb in the South- East during the elections, my state deserves a better deal. There is no Federal Government presence in the oil-producing areas, and none of our youths benefitted from the Federal Government’s Amnesty Programme. I also use this opportunity to ask for the quick refund of the money spent by the state on Imo International Cargo Airport and on some federal roads in the state.”






The role he played in rigging

Why must the state be the driver of the economy in such a large country like this? Do our policy makers know anything about free enterprise? Na wa o.

nonaira:
So okorocha knew all this all along yet had the audacity to condemn young men and women that wants to disassociate themselves from the nation they don't belong to nor treated them right. Had the audacity to even applaud the sh1thole killing them in cold blood.

Okorocha, Okorocha, Okorocha, how many times have I called you? See your life. So you knew this thing all along yet you dey there dey attack Nnamdi Kanu that said the EXACT same MF thing you just said and accused him of "brainwashing the youths." all because of your greediness. So you knew this all along eeh? My despise for you just intensifed I swear.

And yet you wonder why No igbo in your side of igboland likes you. You wonder why igbo in total hates your guts. You wonder why men and women are ready to attack you when they see you.

So you knew all this after all. We all thought your brain got eating while living up north or that your northern blood destroyed your braincells hence your clueless but alas, we see it is because you are a fat greedy bastard. Sometimes I wish you are anioma cause what SE fear to do to your likes, we would gladly do it. Ewu!

But look at it from his perspective now, if he pushes for secession and the ibo and he succeeds that means no more allocation for him or his state and why would he want that? We are talking about a massive loss of income which his state desperately needs as they hardly generate there own revenue and are on life support like pretty much almost every other Nigerian state? How would that make sense to him.

Very true

Rejected thrice by Afonjas only to become an Angel overnight.

That is a stupendous miracle

TPAND:

But they get outrageous sums of allocation like pretty much every state in Nigeria so why has that not made a difference yet?

highrise07:
marginalised, accepted... but who is swallowing the billions accruing to the region in form of federal allocations .

I tire o.

wordcat:
At least there are federal prisons, Army barracks, federal Inland revenue offices and police barracks in d south east.

One Nigeria is a fraud.

Do you want to test the alternative and risk losing all your allocations and monthly revenue?

EternalTruths:

malton:
Sad, but true. I thought the same too. Besides CBN, FIRS and federal unis, there is hardly anything else that will remind you the SE is part of Nigeria.

A lot has to be done to change the situation on ground.

Forget IPOB, there are lots of people in the SE who deserve to share in the dividends of democraZy.

Nobody should be neglected like that.

But what are they doing with the large sums of money in the form of allocations coming in every year? Where is all of it going to?

First of all, it is not only yorubas that supported the removal of Jona, I am from the land where the sun rises but I dont buy into the GEJ-is-God euphoria which resonates in the east. Also, whilst you myopically think osinbade was the reason the SW voted against jonathan, how does this your wisdom explain the SW voting Jonathan in 2011 against the very same Buhari who ran with a 'TUNDE'?

Now to answer your question about why a Buhari who was rejected thrice was considered the fourth time, the answer is commonsensical, it is the same reason why an Atiku who has been rejected for over a decade is now being considered by a large section of people. The answer is simple, GEJ flopped and his weak leadership was disappointing and uninspiring.

Without having to digress too much, I asked you to name the projects done by GEJ in the SE which makes you think the south-easterners who supported his removal are fools, I didnt ask you for on-paper statistics and economic indices which were purely a reflection of high oil prices. Oh Yes! the economic indices looked good in GEJ's time despite the unforgivable monumental lootocracy that prevailed, but that was all a function of high oil price and excess forex in the system. The consequence of the prodigal handling of the economy then could have only been seen when the oil boom subsided, and unfortunately for Buhari, he's simply reaping the consequences of those indiscretions.
