TonyeBarcanista:

I still don't understand what your problem is. You talked about Odi but you forgot what pre-empt FG action(perhaps you don't know). Though I Condemn the action of both the criminals in Odi and the FG in strong terms.

What is your business and problem with who owns oil licence? Oil licence is simply a meal ticket for government allies and their corrupt friends. Our Demand is RESOURCE CONTROL not a common OML.

Whoever call Jonathan drunk fisherman is referring to Jonathan. The election is OVER and we have moved on to the next phase.

I don't know how the above makes one helpless. If you are 'helpful' why not stage a showdown with FG?

[size=14pt]80% of the Oil well are owned by Northerners, but we get the 13% derivation...

the Northerners who own the oil well pay tax to government who pay us tax in derivation..

secondly, IF THE OIL WAS IN YORUBA LAND, 80% OF THE OIL WELL WOULD BE OWNED BY FULANIS..

i am done with you...[/size][size=8pt][/size]

You sound like a very foolish guy, sorry to say. Na spirit go buy wetin those Igbos wey dey do 'business' for Yorubaland dey sell? No be pesin wey get money and purchasing power you Igbos dey sell to? Without us spending our too-much-money on those goods, your traders will be out of business in no-time. #FACT!



Bullshyt. Igbos are in Lagos for the same reason they are in Kano, Ibadan, Jigawa, PH and everywhere else in Nigeria -- TO TRADE. Kapish!



Another fantasy from a deranged Yee.boman. There are about 15,000 civil servants in Osun state and these are the only folks affected by the salary crises in a state of over 3-million. In other words, until Osun citizens start migrating to the East for economic survival, they're still better off than your economic migrants all over the SW.

MrsNgoziKalu:




As usual. Mr. victim.
what's the igr of your Japan last year? coz I thought your Anambla is economic viable than China.
Anything that doesn't favour you villagers is rubbish. Enugu is the most developed place in the world na. I don't just get it, while you guys are typing it, do you want others to believe you people?

Flyoruboy:


Yinmu. Me sef get my own link for you: http://newsnownigeria.com.ng/ranking-of-nigerian-states-by-poverty-rates/ Anyone can pick and chose whichever favours them, abi na?

There it says:

REGIONAL AVERAGES
1 = South West - 19.3% Poverty (+ Average)
2 = South South - 25.2% Poverty (+ Average)
3 = South East - 27.36% Poverty (+ Average)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
** National Avg 46.0%% Poverty
----------------------------------------------------------------------

4 = North Central - 45.7% Poverty (+Average)
5 = North East - 76.8% Poverty (- Average)
6 = North West- 80.9% Poverty (- Average)


Leave matter for Mathias. We know the REAL poor economic migrants. They are still queuing up to catch the next Luxurious bus to the SW as we speak, while others are just disembarking at Ojota

jstbeinhonest:



Lol,i knw u wud try so hard to discredit those facts,britanica pages r regularly updated.cocoa remains the sw major agric export.Hope u saw the poverty rates i posted earlier?...the worldbank,nbs and un al confirmed that the sw has a lower poverty rate than the se.

Cjrane2:

Regional Integration has always been talked about, but never implemented. See our vehicle for regional integration here: http://www.senec.org.ng/senec/index.php
http://www.senec.org.ng/senec/index.php/news/36-news-events/57-imperative-of-south-east-nigeria-economic-commission-senec

Our problem in nigeria isn't a lack of ideas, but we don't implement anything.
The need for a close regional integration led to the SENDEF launching last year headed by Dr. paschal Dozie to source funds for specific key projects. i don't even think they have held any meetings since then! .http://allafrica.com/stories/201411150084.html

We should pursue 3 Agenda; [size=13pt]
--1.They should pursue the SENDEF dream they launched last year to pursue precisely what you are saying and secure funding for key regional infrastructure projects.

--2. Develop railway network in the zone.Extend a line from Enugu to Onitsha and another from Enugu - Abakaliki. The FG under Buhari APC won't do it, but we can get individuals to invest and charge toll fee.

--3. Develop the Coal Industry by creating industries using our coal for power generation and steel production etc. Develop the oil and gas sector by creating industries to use the product. Again, the FG under Buhari won't do it, so we need our entrepreneurs to lead the initiative. The way Dangote is investing in refineries and power plants in the north.
We can approach the world bank or AfDB for assistance with the infrastructure funding[/size]


South Africa still use their coal powered steam engine train to transport people and goods across that great country. The cross country train ride is also one great tourist attraction in South Africa.


Just imagine if we had a cargo & passenger train with this number of coaches carrying all the agricultural produce, yams, livestock,tomatoes, industrial raw materials etc from the Abakaliki to Onitsha and when its going back, it hauls all the petrol, imported goods etc back. Each of these coaches in the size of one 18 wheeler trailer truck. Imagine how many 18 wheelers were taken off the South African roads just by this single trip. Also a line from PH ONNE seaport to Onitsha via Enugu can haul all the goods from that seaport directly to Onitsha if we extended the present Enugu-PH railway line to reach Onitsha and Abakaliki.

The second use of the SA rail system is tourism and basic transportation of people around the country.

PROUDIGBO:
Was watching the National Geographic channel the other day, and the programme was on the Panama Canal....how it was conceived, built and plans afoot to expand it to be able to take the biggest ships in the world!

It occurred to me that if those engineers, having been faced with the bigger challenge of the Panama Canal, were presented with Obuaku (to deepen and expand its waterway to the Atlantic so as to accommodate ocean-going vessels), the engineers would wonder what all the fuss was about and why Nigerian engineers can't handle such a basic project!

If i find the programme on YouTube i'll post it here for all to see!

Tex42:
southeast economic summit comes to mind. Pitifully, our leaders, governors are too busy scanting for FG peanut cum allocation when they should be looking inwards for revenue generation.

Sweetguy25:


Are these not the most developed areas of Lagos state till today and where all administrative and commercial/economic activities are centered?

What are you talking about?

Flyoruboy:


Facts don't lie Freeflobe.


If Una only go to Lag, why are you fighting for title in Oyo and getting flogged on Ondo?

Guy, why are you deceiving yourself? Fact: you Biafran igbos are contributing nothing to the Nigerian commonwealth which explains why inspite of your attention seeking noises the FG is calling your bluff. In other words, economically your region ain't shyt. And those fake stats about industrial clusters are nothing but mere fantasy coz even your own folks have long since admitted that y'all are lagging behind other parts of the country -- http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/rivers-state-others-have-overtaken-s-east-in-commerce-industry/

Ogun currently is the number 1 most industrialized state in Nigeria (attracting over 70 new manufacturing industries in the last 3 years with more still waiting in line for approval), followed by Lag. The SW contributes more non-oil revenue to the commonweal than any other region. The North contributes Agric. Pray tell what SE contributes? ?

Lol. Una hero Jonathan himself said it that the SW controls 55% of Nigeria's economy.

Excerpts:




And he wasn't lying when you consider the indices from Manufacturers Association of Nigeria's last report as follows:
The SW virtually controls/accounts for atleast 70% of industrial activity in Nigeria.

Truckpusher:
Lol, you deluded folks are amazingly foolish to say the least.
The man who had counted it all but lost do not need a savior but the man who was beaten down to the back bench of national politics with all his greatness surely do need a savior now.

Your attitude is akin to a man who's in the ocean and he can't swim but he's much more bothered about the man in a bathtub at home that can't swim.

Truckpusher:
I do not blame them at all but I blame all the gluttons like Asari Dokubo and all the charlatans that hijacked the genuine struggle of the Niger Delta people to enrich themselves.

I do not blame them at all but I blame all the Niger Delta myopic politicians and Governors like Odili and Amaechi including all the thieves that have managed the NDDC who felt that the only way to become relevant in this cesspit called 'one Nigeria' is to play along using our money meant for our self development and sustainability after oil to go on a wild goose chase.
I do not blame them but I blame all the parents that birthed all the people that have decided to be used by these poiticians to cause mayhem chasing away investors and plunging the entire region into oblivion.

I for once will never blame these three big parasites, but the truth remains that a day will come when the real Niger Deltans will rise up and demand for accountability from our own elites and the oppressive Nigerian state and we will do it by any means necessary at all cost.Nigeria has date with reality it is just a matter of time.

Twistaray:


Bring the news down here let me see mr man. Don't being emotional.

Did the new specified any tribe,exempted yoruba and include Igbo instead?

Problem with you people is that you always think u are the best why others are nothing.

you must be from aba or anambra, often the part of iboe tribe argue blindly. Mtcheew

Twistaray:


And you just want us to swallow that because you said so?
Keep deceiving yourself.
Yet SW top the lists on forb

You people just enjoy deceiving yourself you always think that the world is centred at aba and anambra.
Ok, I belief because you say so

jstbeinhonest:



LOL,'lagos is the saviour of sw'...lol.....SW-LAGOS generates about the same money as the SE.The sw has more mineral recourses than the se.the sw has a better soil than the se,the sw has better infrastructure than the sw.The sw attracts more direct investments than the se,has lower poverty rates than the se.....No one is saying the se aint gud...but stop downplaying the sw.

Twistaray:



Iboos are always the best while the rest are nothing isn't it?

You people just love to brag yet you contribute nothing to the Feb acc.
If you want to argue provide facts, don't just come here to bombard with aba made stories.

What you wrong with you people exactly you always think you are better yet you are worst then them when provided with facts and figures.

Oya, pray tell us with prove that the bolded is true.

Tex42:
That should be the mind set and aspiration of every progressive Igbo...

Tex42:
The importance of a seaport in SE can not be over emphasized. Having a functioning seaport seated in that region is synonymous to an economic revolution, in the sense that Igbos can do business with other part of the world without the involvement of other regions in Naigeria...

Bishop42:


It's really shocking to know that Northerners own Onne seaport. This is one of the reasons I encourage our people to invest outside of their region too. Business is all about risk. Insurance companises are there to minimize risk

The goal of igbo investing outside igboland is to produce revenue (through taxation) within our region. Someone beautifully suggested that the Headquaters of all igbo companies must be located in Igboland. Now if company A with head office in igboland invests in Kaduna or Kebbi for example, it mean that the overall profit of the company will grow. This profit will be sent back to igboland resulting to more revenue for state government. Other benefit is that the company will have more market for their goods and services. Our State governors like Willie Obiano,Nyesom wike, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Okezie Ikpeazu
,Ifeanyi Okowa etc should focus on attracking these Head offices to Igbolang.


Lagos,Kano , Kaduna and Abuja have one of the largest growing Middle class population in the in SW,North and Middlebelt respectively and provide us with large consumer populations.Our companies must sread in these places and bring profit back home. Indigenous companies like Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing and others must spread fast before the markets become saturated

The bane of the Blackman is myopia/shortsightedness and quick-fix to problems
Every state/region in Nigeria has squandered real opportunity for development.
The govs with SE inclusive lacked foresight and most had no economic plan.
Assuming the SE region had an economic team by 1999 with foresight , with focused investment in 3 critical areas such as transportation(railway system and a seaport), agriculture and industrialisation by now region would have been a haven for foreign investors.
I believe that if each governor contributes about 100 million Naira per month since 1999 towards a railway system that will effectively link each of the five eastern states , that by now the project would have been very advanced if not completed.this would have brought regional integration , ease in the movement of goods within the region and would have been the preffered means of transportation as all federal roads in the region is in state of disrepair.
With current decline in global oil prices, most state are running helter skelter seeking for funds to pay ordinary salary with absolutely no money to engage in any serious infrastructural development. The future is really bleak.
I pray that God would give us a second chance.

QuotaSystem:
Are you suggesting we then live in carnage and anarchy because the legal system is not perfect? Even Britain with one of the oldest and most advanced legal systems still battles its own demons.

QuotaSystem:
While you might be disposed to running in circles over a clear issue, the facts are sacred and the law is supreme.

Nnamdi Kanu is liable for treasonable felony against the Nigerian state under Chapter 6 (Subsection 42) of the CCA 1990 by calling for a violent secession, and inciting violence against other tribes and innocent Nigerians such as Pastor Kumuyi. He is captured here calling for guns and bullets to fight the Nigerian state.
