The script by El Rufai exposing the transfer of N146.14 billion from Federal Budget to Ministry of Finance as counterpart funding for the Lagos State Government owned Green line is  a very interesting article and exposition. What is the National Assembly that scrutinises budget doing?

South East and South South are denied of standard guage  dual carriage rail line but there is one from Lagos to Ibadan to Kano and Abuja to Kaduna.

The same way for gas reticulation,  the gas that comes from the East and Escravos are  piped to the South West to the Industrial Estates through Onshore and Offshore pipelines to Ghana just  the same way  to Ajaokuta and now AKK to the North. No gas reticulation from the source of the gas, South East and South South are intentionally left out and their industries and infrastructures left to rot away.

“Take the eggs and to hell with the goose that laid them” Just like the legendary dictum from a great  leader when asked about his relationship with his combatant Father-In-Law: “He said “Out of the bitter sting of a bee the honey developes, I have tasted the honey, it tastes good, I have taken the honey, I have no need for the bee”

Lagos – Ogun Mega City Commision was established and sponsored by the Federal Government, World Bank and the States with World Bank depositing  £9billion to the Commission. The giagantic Rice mill construction, National  Arts Theater and National Stadium reconstruction and rehabilitation from CBN National Budget, all in Lagos. All ports in Lagos are being constantly developed with new ones in existent and developed in  Lekki and  Badagry whereas the Eastern ports are left moribund and sabotaged.

Federal Secretariats have been constructed in almost all the new states except in Abia and Ebonyi States. Politially it is a  national decision that the President of Nigeria  can never come from South East and they must be kept down not to grow and develop.

To think that there are igbo senators,  members house of representatives and governors. And you wonder, who made them deaf and mute?

Still, we are condemning Slavery and Imperialism by the West.
