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.

omonnakoda:
According to Wikipedia it is 29 385 square kilometres

and Nigeria is 923 768 square kilometres

i.e the SE is 3.1% of the land mass of Nigeria

To put it in further perspective

Cross River State is 20 000 sq Km

Kwars State is 36 000 sq km
Niger State is 76000 Sq km

Oyo State is 28 454 Sq km

It is important to have this sense of perspective when people start agitating for projects to their zones
The is a very tiny place and is less four 4 percent of Nigeria but want an equal share of projects with zones that are 10 times their size. This is wicked and this attitude should change

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.

if only the north has the same soil texture and torrential rainfall in the east

You are presume (or hope) that Igbos in in Rivers and Delta would opt to stick with Nigeria. Even then, what are the land masses of the following countries:

Guinea-Bissau
Lesotho
Equatorial Guinea
Burundi
Rwanda
Djibouti
Swaziland
Gambia
Cape Verde
Reunion
Comoros
Mauritius
São Tomé and Príncipe


Belgium
Armenia
Albania
Republic of Macedonia
Slovenia
Montenegro
Cyprus
Luxembourg
Andorra
Malta 316
Liechtenstein
San Marino
Monaco
Vatican City
Armenia

Israel
Kuwait
Qatar
Lebanon
Brunei
Hong Kong
Singapore
Bahrain
Maldives

Smaller countries are easier to manage.

-FG built your ports and made them exceptionally functional thereby triggering economic growth which will lead to greater investments from foreign and local investors which will lead to infrastructural development.

In simpler terms
Port->Economic growth->Investments->Infrastructure->More Jobs

Caseless:
apart from Israel, which amongst these nations are respected when giants are talking? Israel is only mouthed because of the US, if not so, they would have been looked down upon too.

vedaxcool:


Reading with your eyes close is not considered reading, it is called imagining, Lagos State is a city, as a city in Nigeria it has the largest land mass compared to any other city in the country.

somegirl1:


I don't even know where/ how to even begin to educate you.
Belgium, Qatar, Brunei, Kuwait, to mention a few, are not respected?
You can't expect to be spoon-fed all the time. To be in the know, you must invest time and effort.


There are several massive countries "without respect" e.g Nigeria, which is presently only a giant in landmass and population.
Better small and relatively insignificant than big for nothing.

Caseless:
maybe you are missing something.

cheruv:

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!

Caseless:
landgrabbers, una don start.

sarutobie:
The igbos who allow themselves to get sucked in and worked up by these devious beings on this forum are to be given a knock on the head..why waste time replying nonentities like the Op and his iks? Well unless you're new to this forum..

Or some of us just go through phases where we thoroughly enjoy debates

If only they learn from such debates..the Op and his gang are incapable of learning anything..

Caseless:
and which part of the north are you talking about? The amount of rainfall in the east can somewhat be compared to some parts of the north.

asha80:
it cant be compared guy let us not deceive ourselves..go and google annual rainfall charts fir different parts of the country..this is elementary Nigerian geography
