Thank God you used the word supplementry, with the major promises made you can not ask for funds of such magnitude...so the only way it will work is to cut recurrent expenditure which he has been doing towards a new budget. 2016 is here, hold him accountable then .

i would want to know how they are cutting the recurrent expenditure with this lofty promise

Jesusloveyou:
go for supplementary budget, are u ok, without having a proper plan, they should just start dashing out d supplementary fund out just like that, u must be insane

read what i wrote completely

dondo83:
plenty graduates and yet so many illiterates, you all ask the present administration to fulfil its campaign promises, will they do that with their teeth? abi with 13percent capital expenditure in the 2015 budget? Before any sane person can write off these administration you have to wait until the 2016 budget is out, by then we will know what apc has instock

with the huge recurrent and little capital expenditure in 2015 budget, and someone is telling you he will add more liability to the govt in 2016then all you could come up with is that we have many illiterate graduates right?
Ok mr intelligent graduate that is what I am waiting for, since the so called messiah govt cannot go for supplimentary bugget or at less fulfil/uphold fully the already laid bugget.
For now 2015 is out for intelligent ones like you. Isn't it?

Fynestboi:
I will call this hasty generalization. Why not let wait and see if truly because what if?

hasty generalisations? Have apc and buhari lead govt fulfilled any of their promises... They should first fulfill the ones they made previously only then people can take them serious else we keep waiting as you said

B2mario:
Oga, there are many world class things in this state more especially the multi-national industries.

Come to Aba with unbiased mind i promise you won't leave again, the city is well-planned with sweet buildings, and there's life in the city.

Besides, Abia does not receive huge allocation like other Niger-delta states, Ondo, Edo, and Imo receive more than it, while Akwa-ibom, Rivers, Delta, and Bayelsa are the almighty in Niger-delta region in terms of monthly allocations.

He should come to aba with biased mind and watch the biases clear

relchange:
there is no SE governor with that type of sense, foresight, love for Igbo, or even vision to see this through
they are all hausa slaves

i think you are wrong? The problem should be finance and some administrative bottle neck

With no blinking of eye most igbos will choose village

AnamCity:


You are right there concerning Abuja. Awka already has beautiful well laid out estates with well paved roads. Obiano is not joking with his ongoing planning and infrastructural developments in Awka.

He is setting up Greenwood city with equally well planned roads/streets with pedestrian walkways/streetlights etc. Obiano has set his ball rolling with a very high target- and he has been. He has equally grown the IGR to about 1.3b to enable him implement more capital projects and has again set another target of 3b.

i will so much like to see the picture of greenwood city. Can you get one?

vizboy:
You just shot English in The Head

did you understand what she/he wrote? If yes, then face front

I dont know wat to say order than laugh

Christ!!!

nkomafaith:
Cowards like you die many times before their death, so you don't matter to Nigeria but nevertheless remain an ungrateful burden!

hahahaha. I can never die for Nigeria of today but will be glad to perticipate in any thing that will make it better if i feel not short changed... Can also take pleasure in some vices that will hurt her

Nice

Enugu? I think there are making a mistake here. It should be Nkalagu

Abagworo:
I was surprised that Igbos chose to support Jonathan whose regime we were actually reduced to appointment seekers. I prefer we become infrastructure seekers under Buhari instead of appointments. Onitsha-Enugu expressway, Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway, Nnewi-Okigwe road and Owerri-Elele road in good condition is better than appointing same old people to steal and keep money for their families.

I don't know why buhari and his supporters like claiming what they didn't start... Just wait and see if these projects will be included in next years budget

Abagworo:
We are at disadvantage because we refuse to grab opportunities as a result of political immaturity. If Igbos supported Odili, he could have been Nigerian President from 2009 to 2015. Even Ekwueme was backstabbed by Igbo politicians. It is same with Rochas Okorocha who could have been VP now if not for all out war against him that made APC realise its of no use fielding an Igbo as VP when they won't vote for APC.

you arguement looks so politicaly matured... If PDP had won will you say the north was politically immature? That aside what have apc leadership offered us that can make us envious?.
__Because majority didnot support APC in ss/se then everyone/the regions have to be marinalized in the hem of affairs? Remind me again was it still why se/ss have been grossly neglected by the fg for the past 45 years or so?

Abagworo:
Things are being done the right way for the 1st time. Our institutions like EFCC, DSS, Army etc. have started functioning again.

Let me ask you just some few questions... Do the army still bit up an terrorize innocent civilians? Is EFCC still used for politically fight as usuall? How have the intelligence of the DSS Improved when the dont even have clue of how to cub terrorism,militancy,among others?

Power has improved greatly and petrol is now being sold the same price in Imo, Lagos and Abuja. Before Buhari Imolites never bought fuel at PPPR approved rate except through long queues at NNPC Station. This has happened in 4 months. I will make my first real assessment after 2 years. However for now I'm highly satisfied.

you never bought pms at approved price in imo? You must be kidding me
were you been discriminated against or what? Abeg stop peddling lies here. I personally do buy at pppr rate when it was #95 @ okigwe

@ lygn19... You have no right what so ever to speak for your village talk more of imo state.
Next time don't come out openly to discredict your own. There are other possible ways to air your view without been too divisive. This loose end is what people like you keep creating to make us (igbos) look divided.
If you dont champion biafra why not tore the path of constitutional reform as both of us know very well that igbos are highly at disadvantage in this present Nigeria

Abagworo:
They seem not to understand politics at all. While the Orlu area is very Biafra, they aren't part of Nnamdi Kanu's nonsense. Buhari has rekindled hope for Nigeria and we Imolites will support him to make it work.

list your rekindled hopes am very much interested in it

lygn19:
Now my main reason for this thread is the recent call for Biafra and there so called leader Nnamdi Kanu.
We all know about this adage, an empty drum makes the loudest noise, Nnamdi Kanu is not just an empty drum a very loud one for that matter.

i am forced to agree with you a little here, yes his approach is wrong but we cannot over rule the fact that we have to restruct nigeria of today or go our seperate ways

Someone sets up a radio station and he starts insulting everybody through it, making empty threats, making ignorant boasts that only ignorant people would fall for and fooling those who want to be fooled that he is raising an army that would fight against what he calls "the Zoo".
When he mounts the stage and spits out missules and nuclear bombs filled with ignorance and lies his ever jobless and ignorant listeners who believe and see him as someone superior because he stays abroad starts saying "its true its true, I knew it, I said it"... let me give u an example of such ignorance to show you that you are being followed by nothing more than a media propaganda;

boiling down to what i said earlier, "his approach was a lit bit wrong as his enemies could manipulate his too many loose ends technically

(1) Some months ago a picture that any right thinking person that knows a thing or two about phones and gadgets would know was photoshoped was busy circulating around the Internet from the internet to phone galleries and bluetooth sharing devices and the rest and the photoshoped picture was an aeroplane with Biafran airlines written on it parked in an airport and the ignorant Biafrans actually started believing that they would soon get there that Biafra now has an airline, maybe to some of them they actually believe that if the problem starts the Biafran airline that they actually believe exists would fly them out, but they would be so disappointed when they find out they have been scammed.
(2) Another photoshoped picture surfaced the internet and one of the jobless ipob people photoshoped a passport and told there ignorant followers that Biaftan passport is out that they should go get theres, i thought it was a joke until I was repairing a phone and the phone repairers and another guy who sells shoes and there other allies started arguing over this Biafra stuff and one was saying"u no know say Biafra don get passport, u think say we dae joke one of my friend get am" me that was conversant with things like this thanks to Nairaland politics section asked him if he has a picture of it and he said yes he brought it showed his friends and when he showed me it was that photoshoped picture on Nairaland, ignorance everywhere.
(3) Nnamdi kanu went to the world igbo Congress to hold a meeting in America and he went with his Biafran story and how he wanted to go about it saying he needed there support, the videos are on youtube type Nnamdi kanu on youtube and watch it, he answered some questions but the real questions that was asked he kept beating around the bush, fat man from the back asked him that since he says Nigeria is a zoo and he oesnt want to have anything to do with it what passport was he using, the Nnamdi kanu changed the question was talk rubbish.
(4) when Nnamdi kanu was arrested Biafrans didnt it dawn on you that u were being played when all the threats he promised to carry out if he was arrested, none was carried out instead they started begging stylishly saying there was freedom of speech, his so called foreign allies none of them even sent a letter and u people were busy risking your lives protesting for someone that wants to take u people to a mass grave.

nnamdi kalu took the wrong approach simple... Fact remains that we are heavily at disadvantage in nigeria today unless you have other options for the betterment of your people else keep burying ur head in the sand

lygn19:
First I want to clear all misconceptions about igbos being marginalized

if actually you are from SE or SS then stop playing an ostrish and tell me if your region or even yourself stands equal chance with you fellow counter part from other region.

and I want u people to be the judge, despite how stubborn, we igbos have prooved the Nigerian state

elaborate more here pls... So you tag igbos stubborn? On what ground

has still managed to accommodate us

thank God you are been managed,

check the following facts out;
(1) The civil war ended by 1970 in less than 10years an igbo man was able to ascend to tye federal level back then in the person of Alex Ekwueme and become the vice president with Shehu Shagari as president.

with who ending up in prison? Who in house arrest? Keep speaking through both mouths

(2) President Mohammed Buhari before he became president made use of different igbos as his running mates though the attempts weren't succesful but is this not the man that some people claim hates igbos.
(3) If we igbos have some setbacks in political positions its because of some wrong political calculations we made that landed us here, e.g it was obvious Gej was a failure but instead of us to shift grounds while there was time we instead preferred to go down with him, even so much as becoming more of the supporter than even his southsouth region at our own detriment, even till now the Ijaws has moved on, but we igbos still bear a grudge that I dont know where its coming from in heart and this actions are making us loose out big time.
The list goes on but let me stop here from now as that is not my reason for this thread.

Mr igboman or will i call you mr imo speaker what happened in 1999 presidential election? Guess people just come out from prison to become magical president

lygn19:
Nigeria is an African country located in the west African region, it is a heterogeneous nation with diverse culture and identities ranging from the hausas, fulanis, kanuris, yorubas, igbos, ijaws, itsekiri, isoko, etc. This different people lumped together gives us a huge diversity which is our strength[b]("UNITY IN DIVERSITY". [/b]

this only applies when there is equity...now tell me is there any equity in ur most populous nation in subsaharan africa?

Now the reason for this article is to try and educate some people and clear there ignorance about some issues that might have been discussed in the newspaper stands, restaurants, bars and on our various homes and that thing is called "BIAFRA".

we are listening

Biafra is a country that was born in 1967, 7years after Nigeria became an independent nation, when the people of the Igbo tribe came to the conclusion that they were no longer needed in the country based on some grievances and some misunderstanding from both sides as a result of the coup, the counter coup and the progrom. The proclamation of Biafra led to a 3years bloody civil war that led to the death of over 3million people, mostly Igbos with most of the casualties being women and children. At the end Biafra lost the war and they were accepted back into Nigeria with the clause as quoted by Yakubu Gowon "No Victor No Vanquish".
As time went on the Igbos who had left other parts of Nigeria to igbo land as a result of the war relocated back and went back to there various businesses, even Ojukwu the man who led the war was granted amnesty and was accepted back into Nigeria 100percent, so much that he later contested for presidency under one of the parties in Nigeria, though he didnt win he performed remarkably well.
Even to the extent that when Ojukwu was old and now full of age, wisdom and experience he demanded that the people his people continues with Nigeria.to be cont...

Nnewi is littered with Industries!. I am concentrating on Onitsha just to correct age long view that it is only 'buying & Selling' that is done often in Onitsha!.Nnewi is the Home of most Nigeria's Billioneer Industrialists!

Thats very...keep up your good work

investnow2013:
...

I'm very much impressed with these developments

FOLYKAZE:
Miscreants would be shot

That is a known fact

thank God you said Miscreants not peaceful protesters.

FOLYKAZE:
Freedom is not nuisance.

Where was Amnesty International when America was massacred Iraqis

i believe the country called nigeria cannot be foolish enough to tour that path

FOLYKAZE:
I thought he has been released on bail.

If this is true, the military should move in and permission to shoot miscrant be given to them.

Protest from now till next year, dont just take law into your hand or someone who is gullible enough to leave his job for this senseless protest wil have bullets in his body from our military gun

what does amnesty international stand for again?
