If Buhari can go as far as buying a waec certificate just to increase his chances of re-election, you can be sure he would use the full powers of his office to get re-elected.

Personally I had no doubt Buhari would be re-elected.
NW and SW have the greatest voting strengths and turn outs.

Guess who they're strongly rooting for.

Anyway, just focusing on my small Ebonyi state.

oyatz:
The problems isn't much of 'the other peoples' but largely within.

The States won't develop to their maximum potentials in as much as they still laregely depend on 'Federal allocations' from the Abuja.

How can Kwara, Ekiti, Anambra,Abia, Benue or Zamfara run their 2019-2023 budgets if there is no more Federal allocations?

These are the pertinent questions that Nazi Nnamdi KANU and IPOB don't bother to answer.

Any state can actually be developed without too much government funding.

Anambra for example can be a well developed state under 6 years with zero allocation.

All I need as a governor are Investors and a strong Law.

Our cities should only be developed by recapitalized/large or serious Real Estate developers. People like spyder could be encouraged to merge with other medium size property developers to form a large company. Only the large companies will be allowed to build in cities and they must follow the City's Masterplan.. The state will emphasize more on quality and aethestic. Masterplan will have a more organized and uniform buildings..

Police will be empowered to deal with roadside trading and other city lawlessness.

This method can be replicated in most sectors (education, health, agric, manufacturing, mining insurance, etc) with pretty good results.
We need serious Companies in businesses for more organized and quality work.

This means:

* Good revenue for state government inform of taxes.

* Educated, healthy and wealthy citizens

* An organized, and strong state.

* Beautiful and wealthy State

* Serious local investors who will eventually become global players

But your Edo people never accepted Albert Okonkwo appointment. You called him. IGBO and termed his appointment Igbo imposition on your people.
Have you forgotten how many Anioma people were killed in Bini City by you Edos? So Anioma is now Edo overnight?
Either way, I shouldn't be replying you, since you are not Igbo.
This thread is strictly for Igbos.

Why do these people invade our space and start typing pseudo historical bullshit. Anyway, good job in your efforts in enlightening us all. Joined cause of you.

Same here! He's the only Governor in the south-east i'm interested in seeing his return for a second term, despite the fact i can't stand the way he tries to curry Buharis' favour!

What of. Wike?

Let us send out a message to all u imposters that have invaded this thread with fake Igbo monikers just to sow discord.


U have all failed.


The Igbo family is united and we are forging ahead of our adversaries.


We cannot be stopped, we will not stop and we will never never look back, onwards together umu-igbo.


Igbo bu ofu-obi

It is very important that we Igbos learn something from wat have been happening here.

One imposter will first of all, write Chino here to create an impression that Chino is here and then u see them posting dirty pictures.


That person is an Afonja, using Chino as cover to attack Igbo people.


He does not want to come direct becos he knows wat Ibadan looks like.


We can always as Ndiigbo agree to disagree but never get carried away to the extent to ridiculing all we share in common.


Dalu nu!

Why would you "hate" Umahi because he does not share your Biafran vision? Which Igbo governor, senator, Reps member or even LGA chairman has a different stand on Biafra from Umahi? Why would he support a fruitless venture that would impoverish his own state which generates barely N5billion a year in IGR? You're the one that will pay his workers' salaries or give him money for projects, abi? You think Governors have the luxury of agitations without practical considerations?

He can generate over 100billion if given power over mineral deposit in his state but abuja has declared it exclusive list

Easy to assert in the abstract. Prevailing realities are very different and the fact remains, in the whole of ala Igbo, no single prominent son running for elective office supports the Biafran cause. I've been asked a few times here what I have done to progress Igbos because I was critical of IPOB. Maybe I should start asking why all these people with their radical solutions don't seem to be running for even their Ward councillorships to make a real difference. Then I would really start believing they have real plans, rather than vague abstractions.

OreMI22:


Exactly!

That yoruba iidiot Obi1kenobi wants a conclusive evidence for a migration of Jews that occurred more than 2,000 years old. Yet he can't prove that Oduduwa was father of Yorubas which is less than 300 years old. Research is still ongoing to reveal the migration of the jews in Africa and the proof that the group called Igbo are a big part of the Jewish descendants on that migration. Right now, we have the remnants of Hebrew language to Igbo and cultural practices as the guide. Eventually more evidence will make the link clear.

Anyhow, as you said, it cuts a typical yoruba man's intestines that Igbo links to their Jewish heritage will be proved sooner than later. I have never seen a group that will despise you, yet they will want to remain in the same country with those they despise. It's simply amazing how contrary the spirit in those people are.

Do you even take the Obikenobi Afonja serious? He is just a skull mining afonjigijigi

I have no good or bad method cos the Biafran agitation holds no interest for me. I'm far more concerned with the quality of leadership in the SE and holding them to accountability and transparency than pretending the FG is the cause of all our problems. I remember my visit to Aba a few years ago. I was traumatized at the abject level of the infrastructure. A failed state government with successive failed leaders since '99 is responsible for that and not Abuja.
One of the biggest failures about the Biafran agitation is failure to look inwards before looking outwards.
I followed the Catalonia and Scottish independence movements. Both being the most prosperous administrative regions in their countries, they were motivated by the fact they were putting in more to the national accounts than they were getting from the center. They were highly successful local governments who didn't want to keep on subsidizing failed zones with their hard-earned money. Biafran agitators overlook the massive failures of their SE governments, and their Federal representatives who failed to put the region's interests first in national politics. Failures in infrastructure. Failures in attracting investment. Failures in economic vision and administrative efficiency (where a state like Anambra still generates less than N20 billion a year in IGR).
I wish I could say we've done our part and the FG is holding us back, but we haven't. Not even close. If the political revolution doesn't start with domestic politics, it is ignoring the real problems to chase ghosts. IPOB supporters in a state like Ebonyi or Abia for example ignoring their local problems to be railing against the "zoo" is no different from having people from Zamfara or Yobe blaming their problems on the FG.

When is Dr Maduka going to launch this building?

It's been about two years now since they finished the main structural works, yet we're not hearing anything.

So since this is a thread we celebrate Our Igbo pride and fashion ideas for better future.
I'm thinking it's time we acknowledge modern Igbo musicians in the Nigerian music industry, selling IGBO language mixed with English in form of music, to the rest of the world.

Phyno, Tekno, Runtown, Flavour, Patoranking, Zoro. These are our top men.

Never heard of Zoro!

Looks like our females are not pulling their weight like the males are! The top Igbo female musician is Sinach, and she's into gospel music!

It's safe to say that phyno have been an outstanding ambassador of the Igbo language and Igbo street culture to the rest of the world.
