I think all states government should build big psychiatric hospitals that are well equipped for these people...no mad person should be on the road cause some of them can be very violent...The government has the money for this...they should be in the hospitals not on the road so as to improve the standard of each states and also to keep them safe from the streets...


My humble suggestion.

I said Igboland not SE
The SE is just 60% of Igboland, and an Igbo nationalist I'd not entertain the thought of seeing Igboland restricted to the SE alone
Igboland is 43200km², so hang yourself if you don't like it!

somegirl1:
Did you quote my comment in error?
I don't recall making any comparisons, direct or indirect.
Or do you struggle with the concept of percentages and how they contribute to the whole?

masterpower:
And there is an Igbo deputy governor now in Kogi. How about that?
Yorubas always claiming smart.

Teddeebear:
shut up, that is what you are being told, but You have no prove.


a Yoruba was supposed to be the speaker house of rep, tinubu and his crew fought it, and you are claiming sidelined …

what do you even know about Nigeria or politics

somegirl1:

20% of oil revenue amounts to zilch using your self-derived formula?

EteEdoho:
How about allowing each zone exploiting its resources and using it to develop at their own pace?. Lets agree, Kwara and Niger state are 36 and 76 respectively, and SE is 29385sqkms. Is that why you parasitically clinge unto ONE NIGERIA,because you want to take the resources from SE to feed the barren north?. If they are smaller in your imagination,to be developed by Nigeria,why not allow them use their resources and develop at their own pace?. BTW, it's only in Nigeria you hear useless logics. All around the world,developmental projects are channeled where they are most needed. And not based on the geographical size.

Emekamex:
Your excuse that it was built in 1896 by the British is a flawed logic, in that the British then were the equivalent of the present day FG; Nigeria was their colony and they used our wealth as a country to carry out those projects.

obailala:
Bro, everything in life mustn't be seen as a competition. This is just the first out of 4 budgets to come, we still have the 2017, 2018 and 2019 budgets. The budget for the SW dwarfs every other region because of the priority given to the Lagos-Ibadan road. Priority was given to that road for 3 main reasons, it's the busiest road in Nigeria (in terms of vehicular traffic), it's the most economically viable road in Nigeria (given that it leads into and out of the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria) and its construction is already ongoing and at an advanced stage; the idea is to complete already progressing contracts instead of littering the nation with incomplete projects.

Once again, this is just the first out of 4 budgets to come, we still have the 2017, 2018 and 2019 budgets.

kayfra:
When you've participated in international trade, you will understand the concept of insurance. For any shipper to agree to ship goods out to those ports, they have to pass the cost of increased insurance premiums to the people that want to ship goods to that region. Increased insurance means increased shipping fees and also the dangers in the water means more chances of a force majeure.

Nobody wants to play emotional politics with their containers, not my igbo business oriented friends. They'll rather use Lagos for obvious reasons coz it's a lot more cheaper landing cost. If you and I both sell product X, I ship to Lagos and you ship to Onne and we both sell in the SE markets. I'll out compete you every damned day, 365 days of the year.

For crude shipments, the cost of high insurance is already factored in and we also don't have any other feasible port to ship oil other than those ones. This increases our cost of crude and it's one of the reasons we can't sell crude as competitive as Angola. Those sea pirates and miscreants have jacked up our costs!

OreMI22:
There is a concerted effort by Hausa and to an extent Yoruba to frustrate any project outside their zone

whiteboyswag:
Pls house let's have a matured and sensitive discussion, pls I'm here to learn no base.
In the past years we have seen lagos grow and still growing into a mega city where every local government area have benefited heavily and even neighbouring States benefiting from its overflow because of major activities happening in the state one of which is the tincan port apapa which generates more than 60 percent of internal revenue for the state.
My question is with all the traffic gridlock in the state why is it that most goods(cars mostly) still come in only though lagos.

Teddeebear:
liar,
liar …


the answer is simple, Yoruba agenda politics

millionaireman:
That saying that Half education is a disease is a perfect fit for you.

Without the south east, your Nigeria crumbles overnight. Why then do you struggle to keep the south east in Nigeria since according to you, south east is irrelevant in the economic and political equation of Nigeria.

Well, pity those Igbos, if there still remains any, who doesn't get it that the south east must leave Nigeria for good
