abdeiz: Same reason why SS can't use their international airports to travel out or use their seaports. We all have to go through Lagos and Abuja to fly and to Lagos to ship and clear our goods. Have you tried to fly from Enugu or Port Harcourt to America, Canada, Europe and Asia? You can't. There is something we call systematic marginalization that you yorubas are unware of. 1 Like |

obailala: @bloded I don't know the side of the divde you fall but by "our" you may be implying am Igbo. I am not, I only feel for their plight in the hands of the Nigerian lead Fulani government. You may not know it but there are strategies and policies to keep these people subjected due to their boldness to fight a war. When this administration came on board the manufacturing sector was strangulated by imposing restrictions to the needed imported materials by the FG, this is a section mostly dominated by the Igbos. Do you know how many companies closed up due to that hasty implementation of such policy? Up in the north these folks have been mainly targeted by the Muslim fanatics for maiming and destruction of their livelihood not once or twice over flimsy reasons as the drawing of Muhammed and the loss of election by a northerner. You say they refuse to align with APC but the Yoruba's who have, how has the appointment of the APC lead government favour them? Just recently tinbu an APC chieftain was crying out for restructuring. Yesterday a minister said the Igbo's should expect nothing because they didn't "invest" in buhari! What was the investments of the ijaws or the ikwerre man, yet they single out the Igbo's for persecution and trash talking to agitate them further. I have many more to say but then I would be saying too much. It's those that wear the shoes that know where it Hurts, so you might never get it. Peace! 1 Like |

fkj950ax: Good point but your post is innocent...unaware of systematic marginalization of Igbos. Even if Igbo billionaires say to federal government we will use our money to build these ports in SS and airports in both regions, federal government will frustrate it. Because there is somebody in UK telling Hausa-Fulani how to keep Igbos marginalized because they see Igbos as their obstacle to the Nigeria enterprise. 1 Like 1 Share |

I am Igbo, but what baffles me is how people are seeking for political relevance and employing some instruments of cynicism to appeal for public pity and compassion. This man Reno was active in the past government for more than 6years. This airport he is wailing for now, why was it not done when him and his boss were in power? 6 Likes |

xcolanto: Why can't you rule Nigeria?Because there is no sense of unity among you.. The Igbos had the Senate presidency from 1999 to 2003..They ended up removing themselves till Aiyim Pius Aiyim came in..Infact the PDP Leadership had sworn to give the Senate Presidency seat to another tribe if Pius is removed too.. You Guys need to stop.playig ethnic Politics and ask for your right in a non violent way..Until then you guys would be swept aside.. You should ask yourselves why the smallest state in Nigeria could become President while a Major ethnic tribe hasn't being since our return to Democracy in 1999 9 Likes 1 Share |

Real2020: Trust me , if people have the need to fly to Abia and Anambra like you and Reno claimed , more people will patronize the Enugu international airport and the local airport in Owerri . You can't force airlines to put planes and services where there is low patronage . Does that make any business sense ? This is the same thing happening in ibadan . Ibadan has an airport but people coming there will rather fly to Lagos and drive to ibadan . Airlines can't come if its not profitable . I won't comment on the Awolowo issue because its not a fact . You have to argue with verifiable facts |

Also, it is important to point out that what Omokiri is saying is not only limited to the past 16years alone, it exceeds that. He generalized and cited one instance alone. Thank you. 1 Like |

Real2020:::-- Stop blaming other tribes for your woes. The problem of ndigbos are self inflicted. They develop other lands but abandon theirs. Tell them to be united, they bring osu clan dichotomy into forefront. Advice them to present a candidate for a position, you will see petition flying up and down. Instead of ibos to make their governors work for them like former gov. AKPABIO, they prefer to collect crumbs and stipends and give chieftancy titles with "I" attached to it. Ram O-mockery was and still part of the problem. 2 Likes |

Origin:The wisdom of Solomon has nothing to do with the old age of Methuselah. Your words are hefty with good sense. Unfortunately in times of political fervour like this, it is not the voice of reason that prevails but the siren calls of the charlatan, the poisonous doses prescribed by political quacks and the journey to know where advanced by wild eyed dreamers, the empty rhetoric of rabble rousers and the lustful offerings of political prostitutes and the slimy morsels served up by the purveyors of hate, that dictates the pulse of the masses. |

xcolanto:I always like to view issues from the other perspective, hence I totally do not agree most times with general beliefs no matter how long it has been peddled. The Hausas hate Igbos so much and would kill even their own brother who as little as smiles at an Igbo man; that is not in doubt. But while there is a sort of Igbo marginalisation in existence, what we see today is majorly a thing of the mind and this paranoia is exactly what has kept the Igbo nation down for ages. Firstly you claim policies were made against importation to strangle Igbo businesses, this is a very perfect example of the paranoid mentality which keeps ruining the minds of Igbos. Take a look the chart of Nigeria's foreign reserves below: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/nigeria/foreign-exchange-reserves From the chart above, you can see how rapidly Nigeria's reserves dropped when oil prices began dropping from mid-2014. Do you know what happens to an import dependent country when it runs out of reserves?... If you go study the Venezuelan situation, you will definitely not swallow the story that forex restrictions were done to punish anyone; only a paranoid person would study the Venezuelan situation and still return to say forex restrictions was a strategy to target him. I personally do not believe in the marginalisation theory which has been peddled since I was born; as a matter of fact, every single thing which the SE lacks today and which is termed as marginalisation, every other zone in the country lacks them also; the only exceptions being Lagos (former FCT) and Abuja (current FCT). For the current administration, the only area I see a clear marginalisation is in terms of appointments, something which to me is totally useless when we consider how the numerous appointments did not help the SE zone in the last regime. If you disagree with me, kindly point out the areas of marginalisation you know and I will explain my point. |

Yes, but when your master GEJ was in power, he was busy building invisible almajiri schools inside people's pockets and he never thought of 'de-marginalizing' the Igbos? Mr Wendel, have you forgotten so soon that it is in this same PMB's regime that Nigerian army and other paramilitaries started patronizing Aba made? Maybe you should ask Sam Hart on twitter first before spewing rubbish to your dumb followers(Not the reasonable ones). I won't be surprised if Reno Omokri also turns out to be thesame person as Onye Nkuzi on twitter. He has a record of fake online identity. 1 Like |
