If you hear wailers talk, they would say Jagaban is afraid of the West, he's afraid of the US, they had his balls, he dare not step on their toes. Meanwhile, several times, Jagaban has voted against US interests and her allies at the UN Assembly. Many of these wailers are still eating from their mother's pot, they're kids, I can't really blame them. Jagaban has also took Nigeria into BRICS, Baba no send anybody.

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has emphasized the need for the South East region of the country to align decisively with the centre.Â
He made the call while unveiling the Renewed Hope Partners (RHP), a multipurpose vehicle aimed at realizing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's second-term bid in Umuahia, the capital city of Abia State on Thursday.Â
Kalu said that RHP will play a crucial role in translating the national achievements of the President Tinubu istration into regional gains.Â
The Deputy Speaker who represents Bende Federal Constituency of the State highlighted an array of legacies the President has recorded in the South East particularly and Nigeria at large in the last two years, assuring the people of more dividends of democracy from the present government.
He said: "As we approach the midpoint of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s tenure, the South East must align decisively with the centre. The Renewed Hope Partners (RHP) is a formidable vehicle that is demonstrating our seriousness for this cause by translating the national achievements of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu istration into regional gains, and by delivering the majority of votes in the South East geopolitical zone for our dear President in 2027.Â
"My dear Ndi Igbo, the time for token has ed. The President’s leadership has fundamentally improved our economy, empowered our youth, and begun to bridge the development gap in our zone. Now, RHP must channel these achievements into electoral victories, ensuring the South East sits at the heart of Nigeria’s renewed hope, as we expect more from the current istration. By embedding these structures, strategies, and ambassadors into every household conversation, Renewed Hope Partners will transform policy wins into popular mandate, guaranteeing that the South East not only benefits from but also drives the continuity of this istration."
To ultimately achieve the mission, Kalu explained that RHP will launch “Renewed Hope Councils” in all South East LGAs, linked to South East Development Commission (SEDC) outreach teams to turn policy wins into grassroots programs.Â
"We will launch “Renewed Hope Councils” in all South East LGAs, linked to SEDC outreach teams, turning policy wins into grassroots programs. Align each of the seven pillars with local town-hall campaigns, ensuring every citizen sees the direct benefits of President Tinubu’s agenda," he said.
The Deputy Speaker said that the achievements of the President Tinubu's istration included, attracting proposed investments worth $50.8 billion, doubling aggregate national revenues to over ₦9.1 trillion in H1 2024, and achieving a GDP growth rate of 3.4% in 2024.
Kalu added that the government has recorded a significant increase in foreign remittances, with an estimated $23.4 billion received, representing a 61.1% year-on-year increase.Â
The Deputy Speaker also recalled the Compressed Natural Gas initiative, saying it will save over ₦2 trillion per month in petrol imports.
He said: "In 2024, Nigeria experienced a significant increase in foreign remittances, with an estimated $23.4 billion received. This substantial growth, exceeding $4.22 billion through International Money Transfer Operators between January and October, represents a 61.1% year-on-year increase.Â
"President Bola Tinubu has so far attracted proposed investments worth $50.8 billion into the country, according to ongoing compilation by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment—evidence that investors trust President Tinubu’s vision.
"The Compressed Natural Gas initiative will save over ₦2 trillion per month in petrol imports. One million low-cost conversion kits are currently being distributed."
Kalu emphasized that the re-commencement of the Port Harcourt–Maiduguri corridor, will ultimately link Aba and Onitsha hubs to northern markets, unlocking ₦50 billion in annual trade throughput.
He also underscored the importance of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), established in July 2024, with a constituted board and executive management team.
 "President Tinubu has recommitted to finishing the Port Harcourt–Maiduguri corridor. Once operational, it will link Aba and Onitsha hubs to northern markets, unlocking ₦50 billion in annual trade throughput.Â
"The SEDC’s “Triple-R” mandate (Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, Reintegration) is already off to a great start with steps taken under the able leadership of the commission’s board with its recent MOU g with the UNDP for a South East Integrated Development Masterplan", Kalu said.
The Deputy Speaker also highlighted several other initiatives, including the construction of housing units, fertilizer distribution, and mechanized equipment for farmers.
 "The first 3,112 housing units in Karsana will soon be completed. Six geopolitical-zone cities and 36 state-level estates will deliver over 100,000 homes, generating tens of thousands of construction jobs across Nigeria", he added.Â
Kalu appealed to the Federal Government to prioritize several high-impact interventions, including constructing key gas pipeline infrastructure across the South East, ing capacity expansions at the AHL and ANOH plants in Imo State, and dredging and rehabilitating the Onitsha River.Â
"To leverage the South East’s comparative strengths and fast-track President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the Federal Government can seize the following high-impact interventions to accelerate the construction of key gas pipeline infrastructure across the South East to spur industrialization in Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia, and Anambra states, ensuring affordable compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and industrial feedstock reach transport hubs, agro-processors, and SMEs.
" further capacity expansions at the AHL and ANOH plants in Imo State, reinforcing the zone’s energy security and creating thousands of construction and operations jobs.
"Green-light urgent dredging and wharf rehabilitation, linking the Niger inland waterway to regional and international trade routes. Fast-track the Onne container-terminal upgrade under the Port Harcourt corridor plan, integrating South East logistics with South-South hubs.
"Identify and develop sea-ports at Bonny/Opobo and Bakassi to relieve Lagos congestion and unlock export pathways for South East agricultural and manufactured goods", Kalu said.

Nonexisting1:
I know one of the names mentioned there and she is a Niger Deltan who I have heard many times claimed she was not Igbo. Why are Igbos always defending and fighting for these people who will at the end of the day deny being Igbo? If your brother says he is not your brother, let him go fight his battles alone. To me now, everybody dey on im own.
Because Igbo are inferior tribe naa by force to be Igbo

Jeremiah 49:34-38
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them towar[/i]d all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.

Adebisi444: Don't worry...if Iran mistakenly acquired nuclear weapons..I hope you won't be crying here when nuclear war starts because Iran will stop from nothing to destroy Zionist. You people won't cherish the little peace una have naw
God1000:
Iran can never be deceived, and let Israel dismantle its nuclear weapons first
This same Donald trump withdrew US from the 2015 nuclear deal ( the t Comprehensive Plan of Action) that was reached Under president Obama, under its , Iran agreed to dismantle much of its nuclear program and open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for lifting of sanctions, Iran was complying until trump came and ruined it
Iran should also learn from Ukraine and other countries US has abandoned, America is no longer a stable and reliable country, you will make a deal with one istration and another president will come and rubbish everything
No country should be at the mercy of another
Iran was once the Persia one of the world power in those days, they are smarter than America.
It's the same everywhere in the world. You can't disassociate them especially the Igbos and their Southern siblings i.e. those that answer similar names with other Igbo groups. The USA can never disassociate from the British no matter how much they have tried, I have heard people refer to "London" as America. The Germans cannot disassociate from Austrians, an uninformed outsider would always see them as one.
Heck, even an average Nigerian refers to Asians as "Whites" even though Europeans and "White" American would laugh at that. Yesterday, my lil bro was watching a Filipino movie (I hate that shĂt) and my momma kept referring to them as "Ndi Ocha" which is a term used for white people (and also light skinned people by the way). The point is: Even if I explain why they are not "Ndi Ocha" to an average American white Caucasian, my mother wouldn't stop calling those Filipinos "Ndi Ocha."
Finally, whether we like it or not, to outsiders: Austrians would always be connected to Germans, Americans (which are already mixed up with different ethnicities), Australians, and Canadians would always be connected to the British. The South African Boers would always be connected to the Dutch, and the same thing with Igbos and their Southern siblings with similar names.
As someone who grew up with different ethnicities and in the North, I never knew there were any people different from Igbos but answered similar names. I used to look up to a man in our hood, I called him "brother." I liked that man a lot and had huge respect for him maybe because he was confident with women . His name was Onyema and all of his kids answered Igbo names. We Northerners didn't care that he said he was different from an Igbo person, we still saw him as one even though we nodded when he'd explain that he wasn't Igbo.
Funny enough, he had Igbo friends and felt safe with them when things got usually crazy in Arewa (North).
So boss, until the end of the world, people would always do that shĂt. I have an Igbo mother and I have never heard her talk about some "Igbo" people in the south south. I learned more about this people on NL and the internet. Lol.
Those who claim to be south south that bear same name with Igbo, are đź’Ż% different from Igbo because no 1 it's hard seeing them residing in other regions apart from Abuja the FCT capital.
You shouldn't have called the Igbos in all you said. That's the foolishness.
Before the Biafran war, Chiefs from all part of the South assembled at Enugu and agreed on the best way forward.
No matter who commits the crime, we all will be classified as the same when violence erupts. So far as you are not a Muslim or dress like them, those violent people won't be patient enough to interview you.
It is not an Igbo attache as you claim for anyone to know that Kaduna Nzeogwu had a Delta State promiscuous mum and an Hausa dad.
It is not an Igbo attache that led to Asaba Massacre
You and your immigrants tribe will be classified not the Niger Delta indigenous people.
Tell me how many Deltan that is living in the north?
