The Coastal road — Lagos State.
The £746 million UK loan deal for Apapa & Tin Can Island Port complexes — Lagos State.
Is Lagos the only state with ports in Nigeria?
Huge federal government resources & other interventions have been poured into the “Lagos corridor” under this administration, making one wonder if Lagos is a region or a country of its own. Is he planning the secession of Lagos from the rest of Nigeria? Are we witnessing the pretext for the eventual annexation of Eko?
Everything went to the state & now Ogun State.
The Niger Delta is the goose that lays the golden eggs. Yet, my region lies in ruin; we have no serious economic & maritime activities going on. Regardless of that, I am still the one who has to pay most of this humongous debt.
We have the largest & deepest contiguous coastlines stretching across Ibeno, Ibaka, Calabar, Warri, Onne, & across the region.
None received a kobo from all the loan deals.
Wike is not bothered. As long as his “yes men” can get VC appointments, Ezenwo is fine!
Festus Keyamo is even worse. The man from Effurun in Uvwie LGA of Delta State is less than an errand boy. They’ll come back to the region & ask the Niger Delta to vote for their papa.
Janjaweeds abandoned my zone completely.
This haphazard allocation of national resources is hampering growth & development. When all regions grow together, Nigeria grows. We need a president who can think holistically & allocate our common resources equitably & judiciously.
Decentralize freight & maritime operations, open up the entire country! We have no standard-gauge rails connecting the Eastern corridor to the rest of the country. No other country was planned this way. You don’t site projects based on proclivities & regional considerations. You don’t do things on a whim.
This wicked marginalization must stop!
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a tribal bigot. He has taken everything to Lagos State. Come January 16, he shall reward him accordingly. 😡
David Umahi and CC Soludo should cover their faces in shame. The SE leaders that supported Buhari, hoping that the presidency will get to the East, where are they today? Same SE leaders are supporting Tinubu hopelessly. The SE leadrs do not learn.
You take FAAC and develop ONLY one region;
When these are pointed out with facts and figures, you call everyone a tribalist and a crybaby. Buhari did this nepotism, but Tinubu has taken this to a whole new level.
I remind you that N20 trillion, TWENTY TRILLION NAIRA, was the total resources available to the FGN from the removal of the PMS Subsidy, yet the ONLY expressway from the SW to the SE of Nigeria is a shithole as you head East.
I have not asked that other ports and airports be stopped; I have asked that FAAC be shared proportionally, so the economy as a WHOLE can grow. You cant go to the gym and exercise only one arm; that's madness
I hate Federal Character; I hate FAAC, but if you are not going to implement Federal Character, then scrap it. Scrap exclusive lists, distribute FAAC in USD as earned, and allow States the power to negotiate projects with international partners.
Why should some States BEG the FGN for Federal support for critical infrastructure, and the same President sit and give a press conference derisking another State infrastructure Project?
Is he not President of ALL STATES IN NIGERIA?

Listen and hear the truth and FACT about most the things they accuse Peter Obi of. False narratives don't last long.
I wish his campaign team can come out and be loud on this.
@Mimi_yakigar@CCSoludo what development have you brought to the east? Keep being a stooge while destroying your own. At least, get tired of being a servant to others.
“Crude oil is in the South, yet refineries are built in the North. Cattle are in the North, yet ranches are pushed South. Terrorists operate in the North, yet the South is militarized. Importers are in the East, yet seaports are developed in the West while Eastern ports remain neglected.”
@ARISEtv The incompetent Nigerian journalists and media houses would not go the extra mile to investigate and get the account draw down from the @WorldBankAfrica. @PeterObi is a SAINT. Nigeria does not deserve this man. The drug peddler has yet to submit himself to any kind of scrutiny.
@MamaPee__ The South East is very politically aware and does not take government responsibilities as favours to the people; government is there to provide infrastructure.
@jcokechukwu The Igbo are a great people with an ancient civilization and culture that must be taught to generations in schools and properly documented for posterity.
We invented the Igbo Apprenticeship system. Harvard came to Nigeria to learn and study it. We invented Omugwo (traditional Igbo postpartum care practice), today, this Malaysian Doctor is telling the world that Omugwo is the finest care a child could ever receive in its infancy, regardless of race.
The whole world is re-learning cultures and traditions that make Igbos stand out from the crowd, yet some misguided Igbos are busy trying to subconsciously replace their cultures with all manner of borrowed weirdness, just to “belong.”
Embrace who you are with pride.
