THE N5BILLION THAT MARK OKOYE AND CO ALLEGEDLY GUZZLED ON CONFERENCES AND SUMMITS AT THE SEDC OVER THE LAST ONE YEAR, WOULD HAVE COMFORTABLY SET UP THE FOLLOWING:
1. 2 AGRO INDUSTRIAL PARKS OF HYV ORGANICALLY RAISED MORINGA OLIFERA AGROCITY with processing factories to support it in 2 LGAs in the South East ..
2. These two Agrocities set up under the Missions Communities Diaspora Private Public Parrnership Arrangement will create over 1,000 direct jobs, 5,000 indirect jobs and generate annually over N10billion/$7million
But, they chose to blow it on conferences, summits and stakeholders engagements
These people enwero ako, uche na uchu
Mark Okoye is using our money to spend on other regions, whilst ignoring the Southeast he claims to be working for.
What exactly is he using the 153million naira office to do in Abuja? This is criminality!
Senator Nwoye took out time to counsel him and the team publicly
Imagine N10billion budgetted for CCTV and street light, just like NDDC
APC/APGA Anambra e rats abused him and ridiculed him
Did they heed his good counsel ?
These guys think we all have amnesia
Now, they want us to shush up and watch iberiberically, so that SEDC will become like NDDC
NDDC in almost 3 decades wasted over $40billion awarding street light contracts and chasing shadows , while their major East West Road stood abandoned and uncompleted ...
Every single kobo appropriated to the SEDC belong to Ndi Igbo of the SE
We deserve the best and demand for it
Anyone, who is not pleased with our sincere and honest advocacy and demand for the best for Ala Igbo, can go and hug the nearest transformer
We remain resolute
He is saying between 11bn and 12bn; meanwhile, CBN is saying 13.something billion.
The vagueness on all sides is traumatic.
point something billion could be 700m naira. These guys are treating our commonwealth with such levity that a proper collective outrage is needed.
Look at 13% dérivation for years
A year 13% dérivation is more than enough to build one refinery each year, one in rivers, one in delta, one in edo, one bayelsa......
A year 13% dérivation is enough to connect the whole oil 🛢 producing states in south with modern trains 🚆, metro 🚇, tram
But what happened, all the money looted, no single projects
Put the funds directly in things that will create jobs, manufacturing everywhere, processing...
I don't understand, INDUSTRIALISATION IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE
just look at the monumental waste 🗑
What is the Man doing in ABUJA office
They should be in one small lodge in ABIA,,ENUGU, IMO..... indigenous gathering engineers, industrialists.... putting heads together to see what they can best possible achieve with the funds together
Develop the region. I just don't understand what's it with
LOOT,LOOT, LOOT😡🤔
I don't understand, the thing making me annoyed and cry
Build power plant
Build refineries
Build industry
Build cassava processing industry large scale
Build palms 🌴 processing large scale
This are job creations
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY LOOTING
DON'T WASTE THE FUNDS,
DON'T LOOT THE FUNDS
DON'T BREAK THE FUNDS INTO SMALLER UNITS
USE THE FUNDS COLLECTIVELY FOR ONE MASSIVE PROJECT EACH YEAR
They've started looting the funds
Instead of settle down organise develop south east
What are they doing in ABUJA ❓️
Is it ABUJA DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION ❓️
What are they doing with offices in ABUJA ❓️
My advice
All these developments commissions shouldn't be splitting the funds into smaller units
Instead, each year they should the funds in building one solid infrastructure or company
SEDC
can for example
Build one refinery every 2 years
Build one gas plant
Build one electricity generating center
Build one palm 🌴 oil industrial producing center
Build one industrial GIANT Cassava processing center
Invest the massive industrial agro businesses , animal, fish, chicken....
Forget all these small, small useless projects, 2 km of substandard roads, one primary school, no, no ,no, those are for state governors, local government, council
Use the funds collectively to to build solid industrial projects, to create jobs, from refineries to agriculture, from electricity to seaports
DON'T WASTE THE FUNDS⚠️‼️
on useless administrative frivolities
collectively use the funds for tangible job creation projects
In 2017, I traveled to China to source automated agricultural equipment for a commercial farming project. My focus was on battery cages, feed milling systems, and silos.
After a week of visiting different Manufacturers and Factories I couldn’t find a Battery Cage System that wasn’t Power dependent- They entire world was using Fully Automated Battery Cage System.
One young CEO became genuinely frustrated with me when I told him-His Automated Battery Cages (with sensors and temperature regulators) wouldn’t work for me because I didn’t have Electricity.
When I explained that reliable electricity was not available in Nigeria, he thought I was exaggerating. To him, uninterrupted power was such a basic requirement for business that the absence of it seemed impossible.
He asked, “How do Survive”? So I showed him on Baidu and he genuinely felt sorry for me.
Even my translator, Cherry, struggled to understand what I meant. We eventually had to research it online before she accepted that a country of over 200 million people could have such a fundamental infrastructure gap.
After further investigation, she helped us locate a manufacturer in Henan Province that produced semi-automated systems specifically for African markets—equipment designed to operate despite unreliable power supply.
Nine years later, the situation remains largely unchanged.
I still do not have Electricity in any farm I own or have helped develop.

₦3.6bn spent, but the only visible project is “categorization issues” and a very expensive one-room office.
At this rate, the next budget line will be: “₦500m for clarification of previous spending.
