owk...... So am i or rather Ndi igbo justified on their cause?

No sir. I disagree with you. U've been blaming the FG since for the under-development of the east, just like other biafrans do. And dat doesn't make any atom of sense to me. Dat is not being realistic at all.

xyzhill:
we were operating a federal system of government with regions as component unit. After Ironsi took over he made nigeria a unitary state n made a decree dat made d central more powerfull n in more control of d regional resourses which made d regions a lesser surbodinate to dodan barack- Lagos. When Gowon took over he immediately change it back to a federal system without altering d decree thereby making d central government as strong as Ironsi's which is why 2day d central/federal government is powerfull and controls all resources produced by any state in d nation. which to me is nt right. Give d states dat produces a resource a large share say state government 60:4O federal government. Dat should be fair n make every state less dependent on FG by harnessing her available resource. why do u ask dis question?

I asked becos I dont know. Am not much of a history person. Am much of a realist, and I like to take responsibility for wia I am and wia am going.

This is very interesting. Mbok, make unu come chichunchin. Mbok somebody push dis to front page.

dat depends on your defination of WRONG. Yeah they seemed to have failded xo as every state government n d centre government. In so saying we live in a failed nation. Xo is a break up nt advicable? Or still, if the going of biafra will case alot of shock waves as the federal government thinks then i will advice a regional autonomy where every region is responsible for their army,police,immigration,laws revenue generation,health, foreign affairs and all concurent n exclisive list d federal government exercises except currency for a period of ten years at which any side can seceede after its expiration...... Xo it will be every region ur cross ur burden.......... hw about dat?

Wot system of government were we operating in when the war started?

xyzhill:
what u dont understand is that to embark on idustralization it must be highly supported by the centre government. Many things are to be in place to have a successfull expedition. U nid stable electricity, motorable roads, agricultural maturity or devolopment, good storage facilities, national industral policy dat can even entice foreign investors and a workable scheme to bring private investors into d scene cuz it hastens industralization. Also a pricing and industral worker salary scheme as well as a national regulatory body must be in place........ Which has d governmemt provided? pls state.......

I have pointed out to you how useless ur governors are but you keep blaming the federal government.

Well, der is no point continuing dis argument anymore. I actually tot u were different from the rest, but I was so wrong.

xyzhill:
hope u saw my reply

Yes I did. U spoke abt having an industrial plan.

Again I ask: Is the federal govt stopping Abia state from having an industrial plan?

Is the federal govt stopping Abia state govt from borrowing money from world bank and afdb and BOI to give to Aba boys to produce world class goods?

Abia state has received over 350 billion naira in the last 8 years, does the Nigerian constitution stop Abia state govt from building at least a world class shoe-manufacturing manufacturing factory for Aba boys?

You see, my brother, you have to first throw stones at your governors before you throw stones at the FG.

xyzhill:
in all of your essay u never mentioned any state that is carrying out an industrial plan....... Beautification does not boost the economy production does..... Xo has the government help them in terms of aide n in-depth follow up?

Bros do you know how much tourism fetches nations? Are u aware of dat der are some nations dat really solely on tourism for survival? Cross River was supposed to be a tourism hub in naija but the useless governor after Duke had no such vision.

Okay, let me ask you three simple questions: 1. Donald Duke transformed Cross River State. Did FG support him financially, yes or no?

2. Can Ikpeazu secure a 10 billion naira loan for aba producers, yes or no?

3. Can Ikpeazu build just one factory of less dan 2 billion for aba producers, yes or no?

Ur talking bib big talk. Am talking small small talk cos I believe in lttle realistic achievements. Wot u can do with 50k makes me predict wot u will do with 50milla. So wot has Abia State done with dia small 50k?

Am all ears...

xyzhill:
when a state is living off federal grant what do u expect them to do Dan provide some other social amenities that their pockets can cover.... N u knw pretty well industrialization is not any easy job for a state to shoulder alone.... we had a finance minister yeah right does that mean a ticket to economic prosperity to the easterners? Or is it not a post For the service of the nation?? N u need effective laws n policies to effect industrialization. Here none is in place..... When oil is in flow other means of economic growth n development are hidden in the hole n u expect progress? U expect naira to par with dollars by exporting a primary product unrefined n buy refined, laying the country on importation bed n expecting a favorable term of trade? Because they are easterners the government tend to ignore...''Suppress them,leave them in economic stagnation else they will dominate the economy then the nation's for the taking'' is their talks. Can u provide me a policy made to encourage industrialization? They won't cuz dey knw it will benefit more the industrious easterner.....

Bros! All u just sed is proof to me dat u also have the virus.

Governors are borrowing money up and down. Are you telling me that the Federal Government will stop Ikpeazu from borrowing money to pump into Aba production economy? Before u whine and wail like others, ask urself, wot has the governors of the eastern states done for the east? Wot has Ikpeazu and past governors done to promote aba made goods? For more dan 25 yrs, Aba has had a reputation as the dirtiest city in Nigeria. Really, is it the fault of the FG dat Aba will remain dirty for the next 20yrs? Is that part of the oppression? Donald Duke brought Cross Rivers State to the limelight with monthly State allocation plus some borrowed funds, when crude oil was less dan $100. Was Cross Rivers State's development a federal project? Was it not becos of his performance dat ObJ wanted him to president or vice? Okay Cross River receives more allocation dan all the states in the east put togeda. So wot have day done with dia little money so far? Obasanjo oppressed Lagos for years, yet Tinubu still found a way to make Lagos work with no allocation from the FG.

U guys like to blame the FG for everytin and forget that like the south, ur also blessed with heartless thieves as leaders. Or is it now the fault of the FG that 90% of the governors of the east are useless? Is dat part of the conspiracy theory? If all the state roads in the east are good and only federal roads are bad. If all the state parastatals are good and only federal parastatals are bad, den you have a point. Bottom line: THE EAST IS NOT DEVELOPED BECOS YA GOVERNORS ARE USELESS! SIMPLE!

Like Jesus said, remove the dirty for ya own eye first before u go go tell anoda man say him eye day dirty. Before u call anoda man's child wayward, check weda ya pikin no follow.

There's no point in administering a test for hand picked candidates. What's the essence of handpicking them if you can't vouch for them. A better way would be to make the positions of Commissioners open to the general public for application and testing.

Very correct reasoning jare. Ur brain day dia. To me this is just one of those publicity stunt to put cross rivers state back in the news like in Donald Duke's time.

Firstly, this news doesnt sound true to me oh.
Secondly, Transcopr Hilton na govt parastatal ni?

That's the point,trading is a no brainer anyone can do it.Its not the most noble of jobs. its meant to be a starting point not a full time occupation.In developed societies,traders are at the bottom of the strata.That's why i liken the red mud people to pakistanis not the people they want to be likened to because they share a lot in common with pakistanis .

See aba made goods, give them the support and aide n see products made of quality u can ever find in the world...... See innosons motors, grant them the monetary aide n support n see one of the biggest motor producers in the world n lot of others.

U had a minister of finance, power, and information, a deputy senate president and an SGF for four years. Why didnt u guys push ur needs to them?

Jonathan gave Innosson support, didnt he? Or if dat was a scam, whose fault was it?

Der is a governor in abia state abi? Why cant he give the aba boys loan to step up dia production quality? Or does the Nigerian constitution bar Aba boys from getting loans from the Bank of Industry, or other commercial banks?

I can agree with you abt being marginalised in this present political atmosphere. But when it comes to development of the east, it is not Nigeria's fault. Nigeria is not holding the east back in any way. Or can you prove to me that Nigeria is holding the east down in any way? Is der a constitution dat bars aba made goods? Has the federal govt stopped giving eastern states dia monthly allocation?

Its okay to whine sometimes, but one has to also be objective too.

Mbok wot was Awolowo's dream for Nigeria?

gurunlocker:


do u know its easier for a right footer to use left, than a left footer using right?

We are saying exactly the same thing. Messi hardly scores with his head. Ronaldo has more head goals than Messi.

But the fact still remains that both of them are legends.

gurunlocker:
Lol... that selfish dude?.... if he do 40% of what king leo is doing, I bet he can't be world best.

Messi score goals that makes u ask how it happen ( often)

Ronaldo score tap ins and penalty with lil work compare to messi, only few wonder goals.

dunno why people keep comparing the two

Messi cant score with his right foot. He cant score from 35meters distance. Ronaldo can do both.

I love Messi. I call him Obong Messi Etokino. But Ronaldo? He is totally in a world of his own. Am still cooking a name for him sha.

Both of dem are Kings in their own kingdom. One has sth the other doesnt have but they still remain Kings.

True federalism or biafra

I totally agree with you.

Everybody is calling for true federalism and we forget that the civil war occured when we were practising true federalism.

Until the hatred we have for each other is dealt with, no system of government can solve our problems.

kenny987:
Peace without equality at all levels will amount to a farce! This will only be achieved by autonomy of regions. Provided one central individual or govt calls d shots and involves itself in mundane matters like education, health, resource control, internal security et al, it will not work.

No one should be seen as more superior or having opportunities skewed in their favour and that is what our current system encourages. Until that anomaly is addressed, we will not have real sustainable peace necessary for development. Interests of some will keep overriding that of others and that remains a major problem.

I totally agree with you.

Yu lived in akwa ibom and yu dont know all the tribes in ur state?
What a shame rudebouy.

Abi lg in crossriver state is igboid speaking tribe,yu can google it..

U guys like to argue abt wot you have not seen and where you have not been. I have sed it over and over again dat it is only boundary communities with abia and anambra in akwa ibom dat speak igbo. I dont know natin abt cross river state but am pretty sure those cross river community dat speaks igbo wd be boundary communities too.

U guys sed etches are igbos but I was in etche last month for a town hall meeting and I asked the chiefs and youths in etche if day were igbos, and day all denied being igbo even when it takes just 100 naira to move from etche to imo state. Why dont you guys let others claim to be igbos, why wd u be claiming oda ppl instead? Its just funny I swear.

Now I have anoda question for you, which I wd like you to answer truthfully and not tactfully.

The Biafran project is 99% motivated by the deep hatred for the hausas/fulanis and the yorubas. True or False?

Why was Nigeria not doomed to fail during GEJ's tenure? Na now way Buhari don enta na him way Nigeria day doomed to fail abi?

Unam ikot mpo!

DeKen:

Well my concern is not about having many sea ports, but the history of rivalry between Akwa Ibom and Cross River especially after Cross River had to return some oil wells to Akwa Ibom of which Cross Riverians are still having grudge against Akwa Ibom. There is also the notion that Cross Riverians are not pleased with the siting of an Airport in Akwa Ibom. That is where my concern lies.

Make dem go baff on top transformer na. Stupid beef! Mtchew!

DeKen:
Hmm. Cross River with Bakassi Deep Sea Port and Akwa Ibom with Ibaka Deep Sea Port. Hope this won't be a source for another strife.

China has 2,000 seaports out of which 130, as in one hundred and thirty of dem are used for international business.

If Nigeria cant have more seaports den we are not serious.

Dats kood. The north needs education badly. Dangote and Danjuma and all Northern oil bloc owners shd help sponsor some kids, and not just the government alone.
