hammerF: His wife is not from Rivers. I Know exactly the game he is playing. Don't think for once that he loves Rivers state. His single aim is divide and conquer. He praises Ebonyi airport when it suits his division games too. It's actually becoming too childish, because, he is not being subtle about the whole thing. He is being too transparent. 4 Likes 1 Share |

onuebonyi: U have been here fighting with us unending but everytime u come with that Port Harcourt bullshit, u get about 4 Igbo men telling you that it will not work, everyday. Ndiigbo have already sited Enugu as the aviation hub for Southeastern Nigeria. Port Harcourt should not be draging airport with SE that is landlocked. They should be dragging seaport and oil company with Southwest. I dont know if am making sense here. 5 Likes 1 Share |

onuebonyi: What the hell does indigenship status have to do with transportation? Surely the fact that Enugu has more "outsiders" than Imo should only boost its air traffic seeing as the non-indigenes would be traveling in and out. And no, there is zero evidence that Imo has more resident "rich indigenes" than Enugu. 3 Likes 1 Share |

$29.96B FOREIGN LOAN: FG leaves out South East in projects In what appears a further marginalisation of the South East zone, the Federal Government has left out the region in projects which President Muhammadu Buhari plans to execute with the proposed $29.960 billion infrastructure loan. A breakdown of how the loan would be spent on infrastructure between 2016 and 2018 shows that none of the projects contained in the government’s document is located in the South East geo-political zone. President Buhari had on Tuesday asked the Senate to approve the loan from multilateral financial institutions to enable his administration execute critical infrastructure and other social intervention initiatives across the country. The Finance Ministry said the $29.960 billion loan is designed to address infrastructure deficit in the country. But in a statement released to journalists on Thursday on the projects to be funded by the loan, there was no single infrastructural project allocated to the South East - an area most acutely hit by poor infrastructure and an acute shortage of various social amenities. According to the statement, issued by the Special Assistant to the Minister of Finance on Media,[b] Mr. Festus Akanbi, infrastructural projects are allocated $18.3 billion. The projects to be embarked upon are the Mambilla Hydro Electric Power Project ($4.8 billion), the Modernisation Coastal Railway Project (Calabar-Port Harcourt-Onne Deep Sea Port Segment) valued at $3.5 billion and the Abuja Mass Transit Rail Project (Phase 2) put at $1.6 billion. Others are the Lagos-Kano Railway Modernisation Project (Lagos-Ibadan Segment Double Track) estimated at $1.3 billion and the Lagos-Kano Railway Modernisation Project (Kano-Kaduna Segment Double Track) valued at $1.1 billion. The balance of $11 billion will be expended on Eurobond ($4.5 billion), Federal Government Budget Support ($3.5 billion), Social Support for Education and Health ($2.2 billion), Agriculture ($1.2 billion), and Economic Management and Statistics ($.2 billion). According to the statement, the borrowing has a three-year plan covering proposed projects for 2016-2018 and is expected to be phased over the three year period.[/b] The ministry said that the borrowings are highly concessional (non-commercial), with low interest rates and long tenors. The Federal Government affirmed that the funding is being sought from multilateral institutions such as the World Bank, the Africa Development Bank (AfDB), the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and the China Exim Bank. The planned Eurobond issuance in the international capital markets, the statement pointed out, is the only commercial source of funding. But when The AUTHORITY contacted Akanbi on the apparent omission of the South East on the project allocation, he said that the loan has nothing to do with regional consideration. He said that the government would still reflect all the regions in the 2017 Budget. Akanbi said: “I don’t have an answer to your question. This is just a Federal Government thing that was presented today. It’s not a regional thing. There are other projects like agriculture. “These are strategic things just like intervention for three years’ programme. That does not stop the Federal Government from planning for all the regions next year and in the 2018 budget. It’s just for support. It’s not the main thing, just an ad-hoc initiative. “The government is going to sit down and work on the 2017 budget and all the regions will be covered. It has nothing to do with regions. These are specific projects on ground”. http://www.authorityngr.com/2016/10/ $29-96B-FOREIGN-LOAN--FG-leaves-out-South- 1 Like |

A little retrospection on how far we have come under this Buhari regime. Phew! It was really a very trying time for Ndiigbo. We never had it that rough since after the war. We had finally managed to come through it. But are we stronger now? Did we learn any lessons from it? 4 Likes 1 Share |

onuebonyi: Could be due to the bad interstate road network between Enugu and other states. Could be because of the interruptions in service the airport has suffered. For sure, it has nothing to do with who has "richer indigenes". 1 Like |

pazienzai have read all what you said, you wrote well to some extent with some pun which i would obviously ignore, i need to clarify a few thing. Firstly, just as you said every village can not be a state but believe it that regionalism keep places away from development as it is easier for states to look inwards to the different locations within their states unlike in regionalism which is very difficult to do.I will still use Ebonyi to give you example, there were few roads built in Ebonyi as at when it was carved out from Enugu and Abia states respectively , but be it as it maybe Ebonyi has by far more better roads than Abia today just because the state was created and government was now closer to the people,.you can take a tore to Ebonyi and its LGAs and not just the capital city to understand what i am writing about. Good to know. Which means you were formerly from Abia State, and should know how well Ohafia, Abriba people, despite not being close to Enugu, had developed their lands, through human resources development.This your assertion only tells that you are 100% ignorant about Afikpo people as all those neighbours you mentioned are never ahead of Afikpo education wise and wealth wise, you can go do the research on your own on human capital development of the Afikpo people as i have no time to school you on that.No one is envying anyone, Afikpo people never complained to anyone about anything as we are up in our game 1 Like |

hammerV: We don't need to confront the original chino. Ife agba n'aka, anaghi eji ugegbe enene ya! The old chino fought only Yoruba tribalists who denigrate Igboland. The current impostor never, I repeat, never fights Yoruba tribalists. He's only interested in starting Igbo inter state fights with his multiple monikers claiming to be from different Igbo States. He isn't even good at playing the impostor part well. Because that's the main Chino (real Chino) trait, anyone that wants to claim Chino, should mimick. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ebonyi has by far more better roads than Abia? Whoa Whoa! Hold it there. Do I sense a large dose of arrogance and vain unsubstantiated pride creeping in there? Just because Umahi built one on Two good roads here and there in Ebonyi , doesn't translate to Ebonyi having "Far more better roads" than Abia. It will take long term investment in infrastructure development in Ebonyi and infrastructural stagnation in Abia, for Ebonyi state to surpass Abia. Ebonyi is like new money, while Abia is old money. I know Ebonyi inside out. Ebonyi still have many remote unmotorable parts, vain arrogance will not get you anywhere. There is more to Abia than just Aba. Which by the way is an industrial and commercial city, Ebonyi can't boast of. You are not better after all than Ndi Anambra you resent for looking down on you. Small infrastructural development, and you are already feeling like this? Inukwa!
What don't I know about Afikpo people? Afikpo never had more human resources than Ohafia/Abriba/Bende zone in Abia state. I have been to Unwana poly, I know Afikpo very well. Your people even feel bitter about Abakaliki people, and feel cheated for not hosting the Ebonyi state capital. I know the vain arrogance of your people, how you haughtily look down on Ikwo/Ezza/Izzi/Mgbo people who you share Ebonyi state with, your condescending demeanour towards them, driven by your egoistical claim to better educational enlightenment than them. And those people in turn get angry with your arrogant attitudes, they express this with resentment. It was only with the ascension of Umahi, that you lots started feeling as part of the state. There is nothing you will school me about Afikpo, I know your place and your idiosyncrasies. It's my duty to do so, as I'm pan Igbo in outlook, and must understand sentiments prevalent amongst all Igbo groups, to do a Better job at it. I would advise you change your ways. As you are no better than the other Igbo groups you begrudge in your arrogant attitudes too. By the way, I'm by no way talking about regionalism here. I'm talking about pan Igboism. Where all Igbo groups manage their resources while contributing to our centre (Enugu), as well as fighting to ensure FG associated infrastructures are sited in any part of Igboland better positioned for such, than outside Igboland. 3 Likes 1 Share |
