for Lagos to do it, there is a political angle to it...being that it was approved and licensed by the so-called Federal government.

Anambra state built an international cargo airport (under governor Obiano) but up till date, the federal government has not given them full approval for operation.

sincerely yours, the Igbos and stackholders are really trying their best to get things done. But the powers that be are truncating most efforts

We should try being nice.. As i said.. You cannot call me names, threaten me etc and ask me to allow u park ur car infront of my house.. I have said it more than 100 times we need to change political pattern.. We have been using hostility. It is not working let us change.. They will call me names but i am only saying the truth.. Only a foolish man does tge same thing over and over again and expect a different result.. Ndewoo

If they are not constituting nuisance, you can park your car comfortably and repair when you are ready

Why are some Nigerians in love with their oppressors

You guys love to celebrate mediocrity in this country

Can u do this in Anambra?

peter0071:
if the Igbos decide to focus on Imports only, how is that a problem to you? i ask humbly

secondly, to do export, you still need a point of Exit. so when Igbo want to export their own Products, which port should they use?? Laos Ports?? every country needs a point of Product exit. So many products are being exported from Nigeria and Igboland...but most of these products use Lagos Sea Ports are their exit points.

Give them what they want and see the economy boom in that region.

I am Igbo...not Ipob

It is a problem to me because i am a bona-fide son of the soil a royal one at that so you get it.. I help lots of people till today, my WhatsApp message and Facebook is loaded with good day bro,. How far how u dey? I do not ask how they are doing anymore.. Cos that initiates the billing direct. So anything to get the employment rate up is good for me.

Secondly having a seaport is good and i never saw where my write up said it is bad so i am saying you dont have to wait for FG. Lagos did it alone and i see no reason the 5 southeast states cannot do it.. If it is that important to us. I also mean for the economy of the southeast. the mentality of importation should be replaced woth exportation.. So please which part of my messages did you not understand?

1. Lekki Seaport was a total Lagos state project.. Uou cannot tell me the 5 igbo states can't come together to build just 1.. Na so Biafra want to be successful?
2. What is thos whole seaport seaport talk like is the only way to success.. No it isn't.. There are eurooeacountries doing well without port... This whole port is being talked about solely for importation in most igbo people head, why not start thinking of exporting.. You want to continue import and export jobs out when we are still under unemployment... Ndigbo should focus on export cos if u continue this your import mentality biafra too will die quicker than Nigeria.. My 2cents

Owologbo:
I said what I said based on my community experience.

.. Ok.. Maybe those are criminals.. But the normal ones we have in our state have where the settle, they roam and come back there.. And the pay for the place thry stay..

Brendaniel:
Oga it is like trying to compare Adenuga's son and with a poor man's son starting the same business at the same time with their father's wealth and expect the poor man's son to just overtake the Adenuga's son, be calming down abeg, other states especially Lagos already had head start after the war....

So how far Adenuga son and wizkid, psquare, burnaboy etc has it not happened?

Brendaniel:
That one is not my problem if you are Igbo, I am just telling you facts, Lagos is the only place the south west can brag about and that is because it was former FCT, besides south east was ravaged by war and yet still competing with south western states.

That is why I am saying what I am saying....

Again i tell you, no 1 want to know ur challenges they want to see your results.. That is real life.. If u want to succeed u will imbibe what i am telling you.. The world is not fair... That is a fact

Brendaniel:
I've argued this in the past with some of you, only Lagos is what you guys can boast of and that is because it was former FCT....

It is not i am an imo man but i am not blinded by truth.. If the tell u truth u say you guys as in i am yoruba. I am more igbo than u can ever be.. The truth will set u free

Ireportlive:



Ole


.

Don't mind them.. After mocking uzodima for years... We didn't know Obi was yhe first Supreme court governor in Nigeria, now he wants to be supreme Court president.. I thought the said supreme court doesn't know what it was doing before?

Brendaniel:
Please let's not start this, Lagos is the only state the south west can boast of and that is because it was former FCT....

No stop saying..that
i am from imo.. And i tell u.. Lagos will take out anambra handsdown
Ogun beats enugu hands down
Oyo beat imo handsdown
Osun beat abia
Only ebonyi beats ekiti so what are saying.. Face truth oga..

And stop this nonsense FCT excuse please.. Fct has nothing to do with ordinary BRT that anambra does not have.. Fct has nothing to do with ideas that lagos profer for problem solving that anambra does not.. Quit giving excuses, it is not in our blood to give excuses and allow failure.. I dont know wat is with ndigbo of this generation.. Wizkid should have folded his hands na, and say davido is from rich family he has an advantage so therefore he won't work to achieve.. Very lame excuse and many of you are imbibing it.. Is kano fct? Can you compare kano and anambra?

Brendaniel:
But they were all better than the one we did not support....

No they weren't... The governance is southeast as a whole has beenworse compared to southwest.. Who has been voting the onve in the east?

Brendaniel:
And how did Buhari's government the Igbos tried to prevent turn out to be?

You guys don't learn...

How did the ones the supported turn out? You have no superior moral right..
You sef don't learn..

Deprofessional:
For those asking what's so special about Abuja.

Abuja is special for 2 reasons:

1) It is the Federal Capital Territory, ie the seat of power

2) The president is it's governor.

Thus, the constitution is clear that you must have at least 25% of the votes in Abuja. This shows acceptance by the people you intend to govern.

If president is there governor, they should have a house of Assembly to make laws. If the governor should be accepted by the people he tend to govern, how come the people dont even get to vote who makes their laws(National Assembly and House of representatives) ? The rest of the 36 states decides who makes their laws (National Assembly) and governor not the other way round, you get it now.. So they cannot hold the decision of the rest 36 to install a president to ransom that ahain shows you that your 25% in any way yoi look at it is against the spirit of the constitution.. Yhe constitution is prpposing democracy with spread and 25% etc suddenly the same constitution cannot suddenly become tyrannical and say abuja can hold the rest of the 36 states hostage.. Monority over majority.. No way..

In my earlier explanation i gave you.. A kano scenario can ocvur.. Some wins 34 states and kwankwaso king kano in this case King of Abuja wins Abuja landslid and has less the 25 % in 30 states are you saying 34 states cannot be declared winner winner and he will go into a run of just because of the king of Abuja? Oga you don't even understand the spiof yhe constitution then..

Wiseandtrue:
When we say that Buhari doesn't know anything about management, e go be like say we dey abuse am

He came to ruin Nigeria!!!

N300B gone down the drain, prevented Nigerians from accessing their money, killed and still made a mess of the election

The very worst since the independence of Nigeria

He is leaving the country worst than it has ever been and no one is calling him to order

It's now very glaring why he was nepotistic for his selfishness, he destroyed the better structure we had oh Lord have mercy!!!

. Obi supported the policy, tinubu was against it.. Doesn't it show that tinubu knows his onions as what affects the masses and a good or bad policy.. It show obi is a selfish man and Nigerians dodge a bullet..

CaaseStudy:
You did great with your robust explanation but sadly decided to end it with a condescending comment. Too bad

I was not actually talk to Op but the people actually trying to burn the country who actually know these fact.. And this why i said i don't know if...

favor914:
No mater how you try to explain the fact to them, these oblivious Obidient knuckleheads ie newton2024 will always be disillusioned.

Stupid Judas Peter Obidient & his gang of Zombies.

I have done my best for them.. No be me tell them not go go to school.. The heartbreak go dey devastating..

xevove2061:
If they come to carry you to substantiate your claim, you go dey cry injustice.

They should first arrest Labor party chairmen who cried out that the fund went to Obi personal account..

It is not mandatory.. English is used in context. And according to the constitution is used conjunctively meaning to bring 2 things together. 36 states of the federation and Fct Abuja mean the two brought together.. Examples abound : Bread and butter, rice and beans, taye and kehinde, peter and paul used to show 2 persons are together 1 in the cases of twins. So it shows the provision of the constitution applies to them together.. Let me kind of explain it you mathematically...
The constitution says Fct all provisions will apply as if it is a state.. What this means in constitution is Nigeria states are from Abia to zamfara (36 states of the Federation) and Fct abuja.. Apples and oranges = apples together woth oranges, rice and beans =rice together with beans.. Taye and kehinde together as twins. 36 states and fct is 36 togetwith fct.
Nigeria states = 36 states of the Federation and fct
Let Nigeria states be x
X = 36 states of federation and the fct

So the provision of the law in the constitution applies to X.
25% in 2/3 of X = spread.. Where X= 36 states and fct Note the aim of the constitution here is to achieve a spread and not that a candidate votes only from a particular region acquire their votes... Fct is North central.. So your compulsory fct requirement immediately nullifies the reason the constitution wanted a spread. That means if i get my spread in other states of the Federation say i win and get 25% 34 states of the Federation a candidate who does not make 25% in say 30 states and wins abuja like kwankwaso won kano abuja maybe he is from abuka and popular, he immediately renders such a spread null amd void, that is against the spirit of the constitution..
Let me make it clearer..
If you sell food and i ask you..
Madan please i need 10 plates of Rice and beans.. Will you give me 10 plates of rice mixed with beans or will you bring 10 plates of rice and 10 plates of beans..

Another example.. Please give peter and paul 500 naira.. Will you give a total of 500 naira that the both share or you bring out each 500 to make 1000 naira in both case you will do the formmer 10 plates of rice mixed with beans and 500 to peter and paul..

I dont know if you are trying to be mischievous or you natural ignorant of use of English... Seriously you guys should not burn the country because you lost an election..

CaaseStudy:
Chatgtp from it's response also agrees with your position that Abuja is seen as a state but still goes further to say that scoring 25% there is mandatory maybe because of the word AND. (Look at the response again)

Tinubuwins2023e:
When you read 1 Kings 3:16-28 then you will understand who the Obidients are.
They don't love the country, they never did. They don't mind if the country burn down after all they don't care.
Just like the judgement of Solomon in the case of the stolen baby, God will judge the case appropriately and Tinubu will triumph

You have saod it all.. Na lagos i pity. The yoruba that are falling for pretence of good governance they came under.. I be igboman and that think they know me sef know am.. That is why i dont support them.. I will support when i see a genuine one...

benheaven:
THEY COULDN'T RIG ABUJA BECAUSE PEOPLE THERE ARE TIMBERS AND CALIBERS. PETER OBI WON THIS ELECTION IN A CLEAN SLATE. LET ME TELL YOU WHY FCT IS NEEDED IN THIS. YOU CANNOT LIVE AS A PRESIDENT IN FCT WHEN EVEN ONE QUARTER OF THE PEOPLE THERE DON'T WANT YOU.

So the national assembly that makes laws for fct who voted them? Not even 1% of fct voted them so what is your point?

a4cube:
They should made it 2/3 of 37 states. The constitution is clear 36 states and Abuja. Just like 5 credits and including English in the case of jamb.

I corrected you on waec.. It is 5 credits in subjects including maths and English..

My brother na for people wey mo understand English that will be making noise.. The constitution is clear.. And is conjuctive.. Meaning joining.. In that sentence "AND" simply joined FCT Abuja to the states meaning the requirements applied to sumation of both..

If i think bread and butter is delicious means when butter is on breead it is delicious.. It does not mean when u. Lick only buter or eat only bread is delicious..

And is used to join things to give an impression of togetherness. Taye and kehinde, peter and paul, bread and butter, Rice and beans, 36 states and fct.

If i tell you please i want to east 5 plates of Rice and beans.. What will you serve me be honest? You will give me 5 plates of a mixture of rice and beans not 5 plates of rice and 5 places of beans apply it to 36 ststes and fct and you see people who lost election are just trying to cause problems in Nigeria... Obi has no case with the rice (36 states) and beans.(Fct) .

Owologbo:
I know fulani herdsmen don't rent house.
If they pay for the places they stay in the bush?
I don't think so; if not they won't be evicted without them calling out whoever they paid to mount their tent.

Oga the pay when they come to communities.. For example.. The herdsmen in obinze have been their for Generations.. The roam and come back there.. You are sayong what you think go back to your community and make enquiry before you engage..

richidinho:
So why do think you are different from the over 700k votes he got from the southwest or the over 150k votes he got from Adamawa the home state of Atiku

I am different because we still have those who can be swayed by bigotry, ethnic and religious sentiments. Not me bro... I see things objektively.. So for me was
Tinubu
Obi
Kwankwaso
Atiku if u add sowore atiku goes further down.. Infact i will vote GRV as President beore fAtiku

richidinho:
Elections are over sir, you claimed to have won, reduce your hatred on that man

His only crime is majority of Nigerians including your kinsmen wants him

I am his kinsman and i dont want him. He is a fraudmi orefer real people.. Obiano or umahi

domDva:
We all do. Chinedu and his supports must pay

Childish rants like chinedu unexperienced policies wont affect everyone.. It is better to pay this one than the brt anf trains zo pack up

Great2017:
25% spread does not necessarily mean you have to win Abuja

But it i keeo winning it convincingly others won't make 25%

Great2017:
Not a win in Abuja but a 25% spread in Abuja and in an acceptable spread of the States of the Federation

So why are the other states u dont have spread not important?
