On the topic, the FG deliberately left out the SE on projects ..

What baffles me though is that people are still surprised with this trend after we all heard about 97/5% Dy/Dx differentiation

FG?? I'll pretend I don't see that. When we tell you that your dumbass legislators are perfect representation of your region, you'll be looking for something to bite. Sitting pretty like fools during budget debate. Stupid people.
Kiss the truth!

SamuelAnyawu:

That is all u have to say?

South east and south south are one.

omofunaab:
South east and south south are one.

You might want to reconsider that.
The truth has spoken!

Simply put,if south East is excluded from those projects,then the loan should be paid back by just the various regions that benefited from the project,according to the amount the benefited.
It can nt be a Nigerian loan when it is only meant for some regions.
One would also wonder why the uproar when Lagos-Calabar rail project was omitted in the budget,the south-west in there usual on the fence attitude shouted blue murder,but now watch them defend there fulani over lords.

Only an evil person will not see how successive government have been working very hard to remove the SE from anything they are doing

[size=20pt]Successive governments of the PDP ba? Including that of GEJ?

But GEJ commissioned the second Niger Bridge now!!![/size]

Why do some Southwesterners on Nairaland twist and obfuscate facts when it got to do with Southeast?

Everyone pays tax especially those doing businesses in places where the economic activities are at the peak which Abia and Anambra States are among top ten in Nigeria. Why should their taxes not be invested in their region is a question for those shouting "they are Biafrans" - Will Nigeria be stealing from them to compensate the Northeast?

The most ridiculous thing to read from this thread is from the self acclaimed Iyadoja of Nairaland who always proclaims to be Yoruba centric is now forming pan-nationalist.

Hypocrisy stinks on this thread.

Jonathan marginalised Southwest while Buhari is favouring Northern Nigeria for the benefit of Southeast. What a foolish analogy and points of view we read here?

Shame on you all that call black, white and vice versa.

No, makes me wonder if there is saw dust inside their brain

sainty2k3:
Why do u have to stress ur self this much. It doesn't matter what is done or not done wailers must wail

I think I would just go to bed with this your statement of hard fact.

Wailers will always wail and if wailers don't wail, who will?

BankeSmalls:
There is no reason for this defence of rubbish. The ppl of the south east are sure this will happen. Only a matter of time.

If this had happened in my south west region, the whole region will be crying by now.

What exactly has happened?... that the FG decides to borrow money to build a 3050mw hydro power dam which has been in the planning stage since 1981 and which has the capacity to almost double Nigeria's power generating capacity?... ANd then some divisive characters decide to incite people by claiming this hydro power plant isn't in a particular section of the country?... What exactly is wrong with our people?... Is it everything we must wail about?

If our power supply problems is fixed in Nigeria today, do you know the powerful knock on effect this would have on the industrial cities of Aba and Nnewi for example?.. Why does it have to be a problem where the electricity comes from?.. Why can't we just be objective with our criticisms?

See I have tried to reason with those people but find that useless. Afonja people need to be hated. They're a severe enemy to Igbo people. During the 1960 pogrom, these Afonja were chanting, 'Hausa kill Igbos like Malo' and 'Igbos should leave Lagos so that there will be heaps of garri'. They hate anything Igbo or SE. So,they can twist anything anyway to suite their deranged mentality entangled in animosity.

I created this thread with one question on my mind, 'is it every thing we have to wail about?'.... How exactly is the SE excluded from these projects?

Are you irredeemably lost? We are talking about a region that was devastated by three year civil war that was never rebuilt being left out from long term National Economic Development Plan and you are here writing rubbish.

The same outcry that followed the initial delisting of Lagos - Calabar railway from 2016 budget is what I expected here and not this scrap.

Get lost. You got no shame.

Get lost. You got no shame.

From all indications, you are the one that is very lost here. The thread I responded to talks about how the FG government plans to borrow $29.9 billion for projects and how the SE is totally omitted from all the planned projects. This claim is a demonic lie peddled by devils to just further pitch the SE against Nigeria, against the FG, against Buhari and against APC. The idea is to make even unconcerned south easterners to also hat the government. For crying out loud, why must you have to use lies and propaganda to promote your silly tribal politics?...

Of all the projects listed so far to be executed from the loan, kindly point out one single one which doesnt benefit also south easterners?... Is it the Mambilla dam project which would inject 3050mw into the national grid or is it the Calabar-PH rail which even goes through Aba and connects an industrial city of Aba to the 2 main seaports in the region (Calabar and Onne)?... Even the Abuja city rail project, the last time I checked, a large percentage of Abuja residents and landlords and businessmen are Igbos, so how exactly does this project not benefit Igbos?

Then a large chunk of this project is also meant for education support, agric support, health support and budget support, how exactly did some of you divisive souls come to this ridiculously divisive conclusion that the SE is omitted from these developments?

If a Coal powered power generating plant is sited in Enugu,will it not benefit Nigeria?
If Awka-Enugu-Makurdi-Abuja railway corridor is created, will it not serve Nigeria? and etc..
Afonja!

NnaaGuy:

That is all u have to say?

Of course he has nothing else to say because he knows the wailings over the proposed projects are needless, useless and silly. That's why he has no further words after seeing it from another angle.

The question actually is, 'how exactly is the SE excluded from those projects?'

I'm yet to see anyone explain or substantiate that claim. But it seems no one is interested in whether the claim makes sense or not, a lot of people are just happy to swallow the baseless claim and wail as if wailing puts food on their tables.

SLIDEwaxie:
I thought these people are biafrans and not Nigerians...why weeping? Are they this confused?

Have they assumed the full independence of the Biafran nation? Has there been any effort to convene a referendum to determine the choice of the people for or against? Are the territories making up the region not still forcibly included as part of the FRN? Does the picture of Muhammadu Buhari not adorn every wall as President side by side with those of the Governors?

Why then should a region that ticks these and many more indices of being part n parcel of the entity called Nigeria have to be shortchanged for any reason? Try being truthful or at least objective, it's best at all times.

You got no morals nor objectivity left in you. Can you tell us what Southwest or Northern Nigeria will define this arrangement if it was on the reverse during Jonathan administration?

Why don't you tell FG to build a Seaport in Abia State through the Azumiri blue river into Atlantic for the benefit of Northeast.

Do you know what even distribution means in Economic Development Plan? Go get yourself educated.

You aren't more Igbo than me, the only thing that separates us is the presence of common sense. There has been a rail modernisation masterplan in existence all along which includes the Lagos-Calabar railway. There has also been the mambilla hydro dam project on the drawing board since 1981. All I care about is that we have improved power supply in Nigeria, actualising the mambilla project is a very welcomed development and I can't be bothered if this very important project is given priority. I am not foolish enough to be only concerned about sectional projects or the location of power projects

Firstly, you're not an Igboman.
Your argument pattern is filled with intent to maneuver and deceive people by dancing from one area to another. In one of your shenanigans, you claimed that Calabar to Lagos railway route touched Aba and that means the project is in Igboland/SE and now you're saying you don't care where the projects is since it serve Nigeria. we are not new to SW political machinations. You claim seaport Lagos belongs to you now but I am sure your forefathers called it Federal project the time it was sited. Lagos was developed with Nigeria wealth but today,You people said it is Yoruba people that owns Lagos and not Nigerians. You still want me to tell you why I want a Nigeria project to sited in SE?
Afonja!

All I got is common sense and lots more wisdom. I should be asking you what you got in you, cos it's definitely not morals. I ask again, the Mambilla dam has been on the drawing board since 1981, if it is finally executed and it adds 3050mw to the national grid, kindly explain to me how that does not benefit the entire Nigeria including the SE?

What reverse case under GEJ are you talking about?... The Lagos to Calabar rail goes through the SW, SS and it passes the SE city of Aba. What 'reverse' case are you talking about exactly?..

What do you mean by economic distribution plan?.... Probably, the money meant for Mambilla dam should be shared and used for mushroom sized projects in every state of the federation and that probably is your moral definition of 'proper economic distribution?'.. Madam or Oga or whatever you are, please park your divisive self in one corner.

The world is moving away from coal. It is a disastrous energy source that is bad for the environment

The western Nations that told u this nonsense developed their country with energy from coal.

Till tomorrow, China,America etc still get their electricity from coal.

Even God must be regretting now for all he's given us yet we are like this.

Like I said earlier, the definition of an Igbo man mustn't be a someone with a display of needless victim mentality, endless wailing or some pointless arguments as you claim. You aren't more Igbo than I am so kindly keep your senseless opinion of my origins to yourself. The projects listed mainly benefit Nigerians as a whole, and we mustn't sectionalise everything before we know we're making some progress in this country. Enough of this nonsense!
