What a terrible news. I feel so sad hearing this news. Obadaih Mailafia is a bold and courageous man who stood by his people and spoke truth to power so fearlessly. He risked everything to defend the defenseless and speak for the voiceless.

The people of middle belt needs to declare mourning because they just lost a great man. Men like him are not up to 10 in Nigeria today.

RIP Obadaih Mailafia. Posterity will judge you well.

Wow, from this Ebonyi just receive just a little more than twice than it generated as allocation, which means if it should delve more into its solid minerals it won't need those allocation.
Ebonyi even performed better than Abia and Imo in revenue generation, yet they make it seem it is Ebonyi who badly needs the allocation.
Inside life

Something doesn't add up in these figures. Ebonyi actually generated far higher than any other SE state How is that even possible?

Lol, classic case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Rivers generated 90b but received 46b while Kano generated 24b and got double

Zamfara generated far less than 100m but got a whopping 4.7b

This is sad to say the least, height of injustice.

Lol, he said "...Ghana is an embarrassment and a total abomination to the creator.." If he is waxing lyrical in such unflattering manner about Ghana, a country we Nigerians use as an example of a better run country, then it means Nigeria needs to be nuked out of existence

Nigeria is rotten, decayed and a hobbesian state of catastrophic proportions. Nigeria is not just an embarrassment or abomination, it is worse than that. It is a holocaust straight out of hell

Yes.There are conditions somewhere that support life.


There is no way that the Universe will be so vast and the Earth happens to be the only place with intelligent beings.

No way.

The same way that the Earth is positioned in the right place in our solar system,

there are planets in other solar systems that are also positioned in the right place.


There are billions of solar systems in one Milky Way.

And there are millions of Milky Ways each with billions of solar systems, and each of the solar system has many planets.


That supposed to tell someone that there are millions of planets situated in positions that will support life and intelligent beings.

Also because we do not see other beings on this Earth does not mean that they are not here.

They could be seeing us, just like we are seeing plants but plants do not see us.

The problem with human beings is that we define everything according to our own realities.


What we see and hear around us is not all that are to be seen and heard.


We only see/hear what our eyes/ears allow us to see and hear.

Our eyes are too big to see bacteria, but too small to see higher beings.

Maybe ants can see bacteria because their eyes are at that level, but their eyes are too small to see human beings.

The eyes can only see something at a certain level.


There are higher beings with better eyes than our own which are seeing us, but we cannot see them.


Hearing and seeing is level by level.

A plant may be blind to us, the same way we are blind to some higher beings.

I remember one woman who claimed that one day, her interior eyes got opened and she saw beings who were moving around on the Earth.

Their heights reached the sky.

That is what an ant would say if their eyes were opened and they see human beings.

So everything should not be defined based on our own realities, because we are only a small part of multi realities.


Even scientists are beginning to think in this direction:We are only a small part of multi realities and existences.

My brother, you may run mad if you continue trying to push your brain to understand things that are far beyond your capacity to comprehend.

We have the best and most advanced organizations like NASA, CIA and the rest that should bother about all these and inform us of their findings.

There is too much trouble already in Nigeria enough to occupy my mind, body and soul, trying to add all these will only complicate things.

Look at what poverty and ignorance has reduced them to Even with all the self claimed IGR and sophistication

Of all the federal universities of technology, including the ones in the North, they had to settle for my Alma mater? Why FUTO? Why would they use FUTO to accord someone with criminal and terrorist tendencies a title he doesn't merit?

What rubbish!!!

MARKone:
They are paying militants already na, if worse comes to worst, and to avoid more problems with Niger Delta Iron men, Niger Delta Thor, Hulk and the rest, collectively known as Niger Delta Avengers, the Fulani led Government will increase the Allocation to the Super Heros, and everywhere will be calm.

You understand the game, pay their militants with a couple of Ghana must go bags that will be delivered in a private jet to Tompolo by akpabio. He in turn will settle his boys across the Niger Delta and they will now be the ones to ensure there is no disturbance anywhere in the region. Who says abo.ki no get sense

This is the first time in the history of Buhari presidency that SE won't be getting the least number of projects. Maybe he has realized his folly all along.

Meanwhile, Igbos shouldn't cry more than the bereaved here. Let's pretend as if the loans he is collecting isn't bad for once and see what happens

Abia, Anambra and Imo States have got huge potentials and if properly utilized will propel the economy of Igboland and beyond.

Abia is grossly lacking good and ambitious leadership with foresight while Imo has no leadership at all. Sad!

illiterate=ignorant or having less than expected familiarity on issues

You're so dum.b and ignorant yet so proud.

Maybe, ignorance is actually bliss to you, so enjoy your fool's paradise.

Illiterate is someone who can't read and write. Don't thank me please.

So an abo.ki from North, who goes by name Alhaji Sanusi Fari will tell IPMAN not to supply products to SE because police attacked Enugu depot and Igbos in IPMAN will comply?!

This aboki should ask for the ban to be placed on NW and I will take him serious. Just imagine rubbish, this bastard wants to hurt SE economy and Igbos, so no sane Igbo man should comply with such evil directive. Let him ask for national ban if he wants to be taken serious.

Ndi Igbo ibem, uche unu dirikwa ya. Ndi ugwu choro iji brain unu anu garri

Mysticwebb:
God help you comot from this country, you still no won rest.
Umu Chineke, zukwenu ike.

That is why you can never defeat an ideology. No matter how rich, educated or traveled you become, it wouldn't change your belief if you're passionate about it.

Nigeria is a rogue country that needs to be broken up ASAP. How can a government agency be acting like terrorists?!

In sane climes, such agency will be acting based on intelligence. Knowing that a hotel is a public place, they will discreetly cordon off the premises then calmly swoop on the room where the suspects are staying and arrest them without disturbing the peace of others. However, these ones with zero professionalism and low IQ will attack everyone on sight including management and innocent lodgers, and while harrasing them will equally be releasing gun shots in the air to ensure they get the maximum effect. Was it not in Sheraton hotel Abuja they did similar thing too during the last court hearing of Nnamdi Kanu.

Nigeria is a disgrace that must be dismantled as soon as possible.

Anyways I'm waiting for Wike to come and put this shameless sycophant in his place.

Reliable data shows that Ebonyi State generates more IGR than many states, including those that are not averse to VAT, so his reason for being against VAT earnings going to state has nothing to do with Ebonyi State but rather his disgusting ass licking nature. He just wants to always show his masters in Abuja that he is 100% loyal to them no matter what.

This shameless man won't mind going against the interest of his state and region if only it will prove his loyalty to his masters.

If he continues in this show of shame, he will risk losing any good reputation he has left.

He can't continue undermining and sabotaging our interests because of selfish reasons.

People should stop giving this foolish man attention. His irresponsibility is now a serious cause for concern to sane minds.

He may have tried in the area of infrastructure but that doesn't mean we have to contend with his gross stupidity and madness.

On behalf of all Igbos, we totally reject this man and his supreme Court puppet colleague, whatever their sycophantic nature stands for is strictly their own view and the good people of Ebonyi and Imo States have no part in it.

They're efulefus raise to power 100.

DuduParaPara:
Sad. Very sad.


But imagine a man with 3 wives and 16 children??
In this economy?

Well, FG has been giving them free money that's why they don't have problems producing children.

I read that part too and shuddered. It's gross irresponsibility to have such number of children on top poverty. It's such widespread nuisance attitude to life that makes the North a horrible place. Boko Haram, extreme poverty, Illiteracy, malnutrition, high mortality rates, insecurity etc that pervades the region is directly traceble to such irresponsible mass procreation of destitute children. Yet their leaders don't care, to them they're giving them political power.

The more reason why Southerners must fight to either breakaway or totally control their resources.

Rubbish!!

hisexcellency34:
I know Supreme Court governor won't attend

Why would you expect a house nigger to attend a meeting of emancipation. His fellow slave, the number one sycophant in Nigeria, Umahi didn't attend too. Also I couldn't find Obiano yet this meeting took place in their backyard?!

Fools, they're all fools and posterity will treat their names with derison.

Lol, this old man is obviously too old, too timid and too cowardly to be a freedom fighter.

All I see here is a man so afraid of stepping on the toes of his adversaries. Then the question is, why bother in the first place when you know you lack the courage to fight for Oduduwa nation.

This one is just an attention seeker and would naturally fizzle out in no distant time.

That he couldn't even decipher the federal government's shenanigans in trying to blackmail IPOB as a terrorist organization, a desperate attempt to take the sail out of them when every other attempt has failed shows he is either dishonest or lacking the courage and intelligence necessary to be freedom fighter.

In Nigeria today, the only group that government sees as the biggest threat to Nigeria's existence is IPOB. That is why they are channelling all resources in fighting them while ignoring or dismissing others. The day this old man and his group becomes a threat to Nigeria like Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, that is the day they will face the same attacks IPOB is facing today. And I can bet a million naira that these guys won't survive 10% of what Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB has experienced without scattering into oblivion.

If this old man and his ridiculous cum pathetic drivel is what the Yorubas have to offer, then it goes to show they're not serious yet.

ajericho:
So that one na Yahoo boy problem?

Is it even normal that a 18 yr old boy can't afford to rent an apartment unless he's into fraud?

I still dey wonder what these boys would have been doing if not yahoo

That is what I also think about sometimes. The number of youths doing internet fraud now is so high. More than half of undergraduates seem to be doing it and many graduates that ordinarily would have been jobless and hopeless seem to have found solace in it. If a census of Yahoo boys are conducted today, maybe it would reveal that up to 15 million youths are into it!

It's a vicious circle indeed.

Nnewi industrial layout

Good development!
Create automobile industrial clusters in Nnewi and hopefully attract other foreign brands alongside Innoson. This project if it becomes functional to its optimal level will double the economy of Anambra state.

They should also create consumer goods clusters in Aba, especially in the Osisioma/Ariaria axis that would make the mass production and marketing of goods like footwears, clothings and furniture easier. Such would also boost the economy of Abia State and create massive employment.

These gambaris really think they're smart. So they have made a u-turn to use same Jonathan they abused and attacked to stupor all because of selfish reasons?!

This has always been the game plan all along. They want to use one stone in killing 3 birds:

1. Allow South to rule for only one term and power back.

2. Use Jonathan to scatter Southern unity and put the region in disarray. They will give Jonathan APC ticket and pair him with a devil Northerner like El Rufai and surreptitiously hand over PDP ticket to Atiku with an Igbo vice president. Either ways they win! If Igbos decide to vote PDP and the North rallies round Atiku, PDP wins. And there would be animosity between the Jonathan camp and Niger Delta that we didn't vote for them thus neutralizing the fact we were his backbone during his first term. If we decide to vote for Jonathan and he wins, knowing he is a weak man, they will then use El Rufai to check mate him.

3. With Jonathan as president, and with everything already bastardized by Buhari, the IPOB challenge becomes a fight with Jonathan and in essence pitch brothers against each other.

I just hope this country breaks up before 2023 because things will get messier post 2023.

Las Las, SW are the biggest losers here. The North has used them and are about to dump them. SMH

Obamaofusa:
Hateful bigot,which one has he finished in the SW.The second Niger is the most expensive singular project going on in Nigeria but that has not stopped Fashola or Buhari continuing some other projects in the SE.
This is the kind of hatred and greediness for other tribes that made you and your ancestors plung Nigeria into this mess we are in today that the Fulanis are benefitting from.
Igbos have very deep and greedy long throats.Very pathetic.

Stop with the deception already, please!!
Second Niger bridge is the first and only bridge being executed by developers who would toll us for every dime spent on it. A bridge we would have to pay for ultimately with our OWN MONEY is now the posterboy of achievement. Secondly, that bridge is wrongly projected as a SE project because it's actually for beneficial for both SE and SS.

This idea of coming there to snap pictures of it every month end with fanfare and media razmattaz is nothing but grand deception.

LegendHero:
[s]Fashola owe you Ibos nothing!!

Everybody is complaining of bad road whether from SE , SW, or SS.

If he doesn’t add it to the list now, they’ll add it later.[/s]

Getat my friend!!

Who says he owes Igbos anything? He is too small to owe Igbos abeg. The point is that he shouldn't be biased in his official duties. He is a mere employee of the government and should discharge his duties with all fairness and decency!!

Reporting an employee who isn't doing his work properly is the normal thing to do so his employer will know where his problem is coming from.

Rubbish!!!

Na wa o. Chiboo anu ozo. Odikwa egwu.

The parasites are really afraid of losing their host. Their desperation is now something else, little wonder they're now fighting IPOB with all manner of propaganda and utter fallacies.


Anyways Nigeria is gone, everything now points to it.

This ranking actually looks awkward, any which way we still represent

oilyngbati:
[s]Watch as Ipob/ESN terrorists bingos will attack their once darling Fani Kayode Lol!
Ndigbo ntooorrrr! 2023 is around the corner and Fani Kayode knows the Yoruba needs the north to ascend the presidency, so you mumu Ipob/ESN bingos, remain in the cold aka political wilderness for another 40 years[/s]

Now that Tifnubu has been rubbished and discarded, who else do you have on the table?

Meanwhile Rochas has taken the fight to North already. Anyways it's non of my business but just for you to know.

Nonsense man!
This guy is now exhibiting the legendary afonja way of life. Anywhere belle face syndrome.

Rubbish and idiotic news without substance. There is no way a state like Imo with an extremely highly educated people and joints/bars in virtually every street corner will rank so high in drug abuse. It is common sense to expect that when people are into alcohol that is intoxicating, they will hardly need other stimulants. That's the reason why Kano and other core Islamic states in the North are mostly into substance abuse. Beer is often out of reach there so they make do with whatever drug or stimulant they can lay their hands on.

Those that made this ridiculous claims are imbeciles!!

Europe never ban fossil fuels and it's already like this, then I wonder what the situation will be when they finally does so in a fews years time.

Hahaha, wither Nigeria

Nice one. Everyone should speak up and distance themselves from this Umahi and his show of shame.

theTranscriber:
do you know that even if all south south states improve their ports
Lagos ports will always be the most productive
because of the transportation systems

Lagos is more central

right
Lagos income will reduce but it won't be much

How is Lagos more central abeg, central to where exactly?

Warri, Onitsha and P.H are all closer to the North, particularly Abuja, Kaduna and the entire NE and parts of NC than Lagos.
