South East voted for more than Fifty years, and here are the benefits:
1. Only 9% of total power generated in Nigeria is accessible to South East and South South put together- wonder how industries and airports, let alone homes are supposed to function in those regions.
2. NO visible presence of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, anywhere in the South East
3. As we learned from the South East – South South Governors forum, it is no longer possible to make an international trip from anyone of the International Airports in both the South South and South East without connecting a flight in Lagos- meanwhile, Kaduna airport was upgraded to International Airport within weeks! It is a stone throw away from Kano International Airport and Abuja International Airports, all functional!
4. A petroleum college has been built and completed in Kaduna within two years and will be functional in about a week or two, but Maritime University at
Okerenkoko in Ijaw land- South South had to be scrapped and kept in the cooler.
5. Federal Roads in the South East of Nigeria aren’t just the worst nationwide, they don’t exist anymore!
6. Recently, South East was excluded from the $5.8 billion loan from China EximBank for the construction of Standard Gauge (Rail) Lines. In the end, it was all blame game and of course nothing to show!
7. Second Niger Bridge? You know the whole story. Until the old bridge collapses with scores dead, no one is going to move an inch.
8. Recently, numerous voices of reason including Elder Statesmen, Religious Leaders and Politicians alike have been calling for RESTRUCTURING as a means of addressing the injustices against marginalized regions. The ruling APC which had RESTRUCTURING in their manifesto suddenly said they didn’t understand what it meant. To add salt to injury, the Nigerian senate voted a few days ago but failed to secure a majority in favor of RESTRUCTURING. So the STATUS QUO is hereby maintained! Who's fooling who?
9. Don't even talk about the quota system and Revenue Sharing Formula which the lame senate has declared ILLEGAL! Yet it's in application.
THE LIST IS ENDLESS...
Nigeria as currently constituted can never favor the average South Easterner or Igbo man or even the south southerner. So, no matter who’s in power, if the country remains as it is, people of the old Eastern Region will forever be slaves in this FAKE UNION, Nigeria. So, why should I continue to VOTE?
In all honesty, anyone who questions the rationale behind #NoElections in Anambra State and all Biafra land needs an urgent psychiatric analysis.
If 50+ years is not enough to know the taste of a union, a thousand years will not be enough. It's time to ACT!
