WHY IS SOUTH EAST NOT IN TINUBU'S RAIL AND ROAD PROJECTS?

I am Igbo, and I will be brutally honest: Nigeria’s economic map does not respect sentiment — it respects structure.

Many of us are shouting:

“Why are president Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s railways and inter-regional roads linking mainly the North-West to the South-South and South-West?”

Let’s drop emotions and face economic reality.

Nigeria’s strongest economic triangle today is simple:

North-West/North is food production (grains, livestock, onions, tomatoes).

South-South is oil & gas (over 80% of Nigeria’s export earnings historically).

South-West (Lagos axis) is Nigeria's hub for markets, ports, finance and consumption hub.

This is not politics — this is economic geography.

History already showed us this formula works:

During colonial rule, rail lines like the Lagos-Kano Railway (built between 1898–1912) were designed to move groundnuts, cotton, and tin from the North to Lagos ports.

That single logistics backbone turned cities like Kano into industrial trading giants in the early 20th century.

Even today:

Kano’s Dawanau market is one of the largest grain markets in West Africa.

Lagos accounts for over 60% of Nigeria’s commercial activity.

The Niger Delta still generates the bulk of forex earnings.

Now look at modern projects:

Lagos-Ibadan Railway – boosting trade from Lagos ports inland.

Warri-Itakpe Railway – linking iron ore, inland trade, and southern ports.

Ongoing coastal and inter-state highway expansions connecting Delta, Edo, Lagos corridors.

These are not random.

They are trying to rebuild Nigeria’s economic arteries to facilitate trade.

Let me say the hard truth as an Igbo man:

The South-East is not being punished — it is being challenged.

Where is our regional economic integration plan?

Where are the rail links connecting Aba–Onitsha–Nnewi–Port Harcourt at scale?

Aba alone was once called the “Japan of Africa” for manufacturing.

Onitsha has one of the largest markets in West Africa.

Yet:

No functional high-capacity rail evacuating goods.

Poor federal highway connectivity.

Fragmented regional lobbying.

That's no one's fault.

We abandoned the politics of alliance and continued to show that we're not interested in Nigeria.

No one on the table of decision making on our behalf.

Igbo politicians in the government are weakened and can't negotiate on our behalf because they don't have our backing.

That's to our disadvantages not to them. We play politics of bitterness and emotions.

This is the consequence.

But one truth we can't deny is that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has an economic development plan that's working.

Countries that exploded economically followed this exact pattern of ...

The American Transcontinental Railroad (1869) unified U.S. markets and economic boom.

China’s rise accelerated after massive rail/highway expansion under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms.

Infrastructure ALWAYS goes first.

Inclusion comes later — if you position yourself.

So what is the real issue?

Not “why are they connecting North-West, South-South, South West with South East?"

The real question is:

Why is the South-East not aggressively positioning itself inside that network?

Economic power is not given.

Instead we must plugg into the grid.

Let me say this again...

If agricultural belts, oil hubs, and mega markets are already being connected…

- You don’t complain.
- You organize.
- You demand inclusion with strategy, not emotion.

You don't win in Nigeria by pity or agitation .

You win by strategically connecting with others.

Nigeria is gradually transforming into an economy of logistics, production, and movement of goods.

The earlier we understand this, the faster every region — especially the South-East — will take its rightful place at the table.

South East quit Agitations...connect.

Nigerian stocks have delivered the world’s second-best dollar returns this year, climbing 31% in 2026 and recovering $21 billion in market value lost following a sharp naira devaluation in 2024.

Total market capitalisation on the Lagos Exchange now stands at about $84 billion, roughly 58% higher than before the naira’s collapse.

As reported by Bloomberg on Tuesday, Nigeria’s “benchmark index surged 31% this year, delivering the world’s second-best dollar returns.

“The rally far outpaces the 11% gain in the broader emerging-market index and the 6.4% advance in a gauge of frontier-market stocks.”
