The most noticeable federal presence in South East Nigeria is Army Check Points and Police Road blocks on federal roads that looks like high way to the grave. The Nigerian government needs to take practical actions to reassure the people of the zone that they are not being treated as second class citizens because of the #Biafra secessionist war that ended in 1970.

The root causes of the present day agitation for Biafra is anchored on the lack of infrastructural developments across the East and the complete marginalization of people from the zone in federal appointments by the APC led federal government,  good example is the recent composition of the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC, that saw the appointment of 10 directors from President Buhari's Northern Region and non from the South East Region, other examples abound.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES... NIGERIA ECONOMY 2016; ECONOMY SLUMPS AS... Nigeria has entered a recession and it's largely the work of the oil industry.  The country's economy contracted by 2.06 percent in the second quarter, between April and June, this year, according to figures from the  Nigerian Bureau of Statistics  (NBS). That's the second straight quarter of declining growth or "the usual definition of recession," as  the BBC  pointed out.  Declining oil prices have hurt a number of countries worldwide, like  Brazil  or  Russia , as well as  U.S. towns that saw massive growth  amid a fracking boom. Nigeria was hit especially hard by the decline in oil since crude oil sales account for 70 percent of government income... http://www.ibtimes.com/nigeria-recession-2016-economy-slumps-oil-woes-continue-2409859   CNN MONEY....
