Your very foolish. So we should raise funds for Second Niger Bridge whereas monies from The SE will be used to build Lagos mainland bridges, Lagos/Ibadan rail etc? That means second class citizens while pretending all is well? Very foolish mindset.

Abagworo:


[s]That's the major problem holding Igbos. People like you that hope on FG for development when you can do it yourself. The 2nd Niger bridge has taken basically 19 years with the little physical work only done by the present APC administration which I could easily have used in playing stupid politics but this discussion is about the truth and the truth is that we can develop well even with the orchestrated neglect by Nigerian FG.[/s]

... udele rie osu gi, anuofia ...Are you the only one concerned about what nnamdi KANU says? if he does not speaks for you then he speaks for the majority.. your a minor and your opinion does not count .. TO HELL WITH YOU

nnamdijonathan:


May God bless you. I have been following all their annoying comments here against Nnamdi KANU, one even said he was released by Buhari. No election was declared by Nnamdi Kanu even before Atiku decamped to PDP so why would a person who claimed to be very updated say that NK is working for APC? NK speech this evening is an automatic loss for that AtikuObituary or whatever you call him and his running mate. Atiku should not waste much money on campaigns because, he is going back to Adamawa in 2019. No matter how bad you feel NK's speech was, it will surly have its effect on over 20% of all PVC holders in the east and that is "bye bye" to Atiku in 2019 because, Buhari's supporters are solidly behind him while Atiku just lost over 20% of his' without any hope of getting any reasonable amount of votes from the SW. I humbly declare #AtikuObituary dead on arrival after today. Wailing on nairaland can't save #AtikuObituary come 2019.

nnamdijonathan:


How many people even have their PVCs in Ebonyi state? Disturbing ourselves over the number of votes from Ebonyi is total waste of time.

Atikus ambition is not a SE affair

UdechiHD:
Nnamdi Kanu's resurrection is really dividing opinion now.

ezeagu:
What some are getting at in terms of participating in politics merely to fill key positions with 'Igbo people' is actually not the way forward that many people here a relooking toward, if IPOB has done one good thing, it's exposing the power of the Igbo populace. Step outside of Nigerian communities for a second, a Nigerian cannot name a single Chinese politician in any African country, yet we known Chinese immigrants have a powerful presence in every country, obviously backed by a budding superpower no less, so also is there a presence of people of Jewish descent in key industries in the US, and a few other examples like Indians in Kenya.

The mode would be to escape this one-man fixes all idea that hasn't worked for the common man in all other regions, and to instead utilise population, like IPOB has done, in political situations when trying to achieve a particular objective, and to practice group economics wherein there is a sphere of influence based on the political and economic unity of the people.

Nobody should be resting their groups destiny on 8-16 year "windows of opportunity," it's a loser game, if the Igbo region wants a Niger Bridge, use the Igbo body to get that, and this is the natural state of Igbo politics and Igbo people are very good at coming together on an issues that has been well articulated to them as a whole.

Nnamdi Kanu rose up because of Igbo people banking on GEJ. It's enough of the warrant chiefs, all of these politicians are compromised and it's better that they are used and tossed by the populace than for the entire destiny of the people be invested in these individuals.

Nice write up

Ekweremmadu wants to be vice president

Can't u see he is a greedy man.

Bede2u:
and any igboman who wants an independent igbo nation should support him.

If u feel u dont like his methods, reach out to him and tell him ur own views...u might be surprised that he would listen. Pazienza

Kanu himself abandoned his career and joined massob. Wen he got tired, he formed his own.

U should never feel that being an online critic to a man who has the support of millions of people is a smart strategy..his supporters wont hear ur online noise o...not wen they themselves are on ground

Nnamdi kanu's full speech...dont choose heresay...listen if u didnt listen yesterday

UdechiHD:
No need sharing this speech. We will vote in our numbers whether or not IPOB headquarters like it. For this is the only way to keep our aspirations alive. God forbid we fail to vote! Kanu know that no one but his die hard followers will pay heed to such suicide mission. Not voting will give Buhari the edge and that will still not count in our favour unless an underground negotiation has been agreed. The Igbo nation is voting massively in 2019. Kanu should take that to the bank.

basilo101:

Where is the greed? Igbos owe ekwremadu a big gratitude. It was his zoning recommendation that made igbo VP sacrosanct otherwise yorubas would have highjacked it. But since Obi is favored, he should calm down. I recommend he negotiate with buhari and move to APC in case buhari wins again then he will likely emerge Senate president since saraki is now in PDP. Let us not assume that Atiku has already won. We can't afford to put all our eggs in one basket again

UdechiHD:
You reason well bro. I wonder why people are putting all our eggs on the Atiku/Obi ticket. Why is the north, middle belt and SW who will still be favoured by Atiku if he eventually emerges President not sacrificing all their votes for him, why only us? Ekweremadu, Umahi and Obiano should be left to play their cards. Who says Atiku won't emerge President without their support. This idea of gifting Obi a soft landing should be totally discouraged. Let him prove his political mettle at this point and win the south east. Even if we agree that Ekweremadu or Obiano are working for Buhari, no law says thry shouldn't. Buhari emerging victorious with the aid of these folks may turn to our table to our favour still come 2023.
If Obi and his party are smart enough, then they should start politicking underground to sway these men to their side fully and assure the SE of a better share in Atiku's government if he emerges. I'll start taking Obi serious only when he beats the tide and help lead his party to victory come 2019. It's still early trying to label him (Obi) the liberator of the Igbo nation. For now, let the show begin and whoever wins should be crowned King.

Funnicator:


Umahi and Obiano should work for Buhari for all I care.

At the moment he has higher chances of winning due to voter apathy in South East.

The duo should seek soft landing for us with Buhari in exchange for support at the polls especially via AIIA, 2nd Niger Bridge and the rails.

We should learn to play politics like the Yorubas who have learnt the calculate idea of dividing votes.

UdechiHD:
My brother you just nailed it on the head. Block voting in the SE is good but most times it may have bad consequences if the opposite emerges. We saw similar scenario in 2015 and how Buhari dealth with us. Buhari and Atiku are sons of the north and if the north wants Atiku as President, then let them gang up against Buhari and vote him in. The north will decide how the result will sway. We in the south are only assisting.

Exactly.

The two are sons of the north; it's best we lay still. When we discover who the north supports ( since they determine winners because of their multitude numbers and voting strength),we would rally along and give our support in exchange for important projects instead of sinking with the losing ship.

Unfortunately, our people are castigating Umahi and [b]Obiano [/b]for sabotaging ndiigbo where as all they are doing is for our own good in case our candidate fails, 2015-2019 sufferings won't be repeated.

pazienza:
Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Imo will all have airport.
The main aim is to make sure no Igbo man uses Airport outside SE when coming to Igboland from abroad.
This also mean that PH international airport can only serve Ijaw and Bini people and not Ndiigbo, as we are too big a people to be wagged by a minority group like Ijaw-Ikwerres.
So those impostors here can cry all the want, but it changes nothing. Igbo traffic must be diverted away from Ph to international airports in Alaigbo. Once we do this, the traffic in AIIA will be too much that the proposed airports in Anambra, Ebonyi and other parts of Igboland will suddenly become a necessity.

So, first thing first. Ph international airport must be made to serve SS people for whom it was built for.
Ndiigbo already have one International airport in Enugu, and several other ones are in the pipeline.

OMANBALA1:


I am saying that as long as the South East is divided into states AIIA will not thrive, Enugu is not a business hub. That airport should be made local, its logical. You can scream Enugu is the capital of Igbo land all you want but it wont change the design of the town. Most of these people championing and,pushing Enugu down our throats are those born or school there. People like myself, Obiano ,Okoye brothers(Psquare), Mikel Obi has no affinity to Enugu. I love Plateau state where I was born and raised more than Enugu. I dont want to fly to Enugu, it doesnt appeal to me.

You cant divert all the traffics to AIIA because it doesn't offer the same options. Be reasonable for a second, the business hub in the East favors PH airport for obvious reasons ,but what is the attraction to Enugu. The only airport that will compete with PH is Umuleri

A cargo cult is a belief system among a relatively undeveloped society in which adherents practice superstitious rituals hoping to bring modern goods supplied by a more technologically advanced society.

Develpeast:


I find it funny that we are building airports because we are trying not to use our neighbour's planes.

Isn't it funny to you?
