I think you need deliverance from this your mindset,how could you be so silly,pls go and hug transformer,iidiot,just like someone had said earlier,it seems as you are jobless.

you are not current with the new development in uyo. you need to go and see it now.

ROSSIKE: Stupi.d dunce. Who is talking about New York? We are talking about Nigeria where the English ruled for 60 years and left you with bush. Dummy dum dum. As at the time that picture was taken, they had already been ruling non stop for 37 years, so why was Uyo still like that? And please save your racist epiteths for your fellow ill bred siblings, you dirty animal.

What are u trying to prove? I don get you.
It was colonialism (Slavery)! What did you expect.
Well! If you are talking about white's governance compared to Nigeria's look at South-Africa today and compare it to Nigeria. Whites made that country what it is today.
Do you even know what year oil was discovered in Nigeria? Have you seen what dubia was like in the early 90's compared to now.
Bro! You are not a good critic honestly.

ujoinme: [b]When i went through the trouble to get those photographs which were right protected on flicker to be released so i could share with you guys on the forum i had promised the original owner of photographs British guy that i will share your reactions to the piece of historical heritage (photograph) with him.

But now am so ashamed of the reaction here that i dont know if its worth sending him the link to this thread.

the reason being that like nigerians we have reduced this to a tribal/ethnic group divide, governors vs other governors + whose fraudulent or not.
There was no political agenda for this thread but purely historical

This was about our history as Akwa ibomites/ Nigerians and to showcase how ibom connection was in 1930 when most of us were not born and what it is in the present time.
I even solicited for a more recent picture of ibom connection to be posted alongside the pic as am presently not in uyo to take pictures. but you all ignored those and went on a tirade instead.

We as Nigerians should be very conscious of what we put out on the web. [/b]

You have spoken well!

NnamdiN: truth be told, you guys really fvcked Africa up. No hard feelingz

We f**ked ourselves up and are still f**king ourselves up.
Look at dubai and some ignorance infested beings are here arguing over a mere round-about. Smh

ROSSIKE:

Get your facts right Mr.

Firstly, there is colonialism and there is COLONIALISM.

In the first type the colonial power actually puts the nations's resources to decent use by building railroads, universities, roads, power stations, lasting institutions, etc etc. (This happened in India, South Africa, Egypt, America, Canada, etc etc.) In the second type, the COLONIAL power plunders the entire nation, strips it of its resources, evacuates same, and puts almost NOTHING BACK into the country. This was what happened in the black African colonial territories. Go to India and South Africa etc. Their oldest universities were built in the 1800s by these same British who refused to lift a finger in Nigeria to build any university until they were about to be kicked out in 1960, when they built one ''university college''. Read that again: It took the British 63 years in power to build one university in Nigeria.

The north-south railway they built was not to integrate the Nigerian economy but for exports - to evacuate our resources. They built not one single power plant. They imported huge generators to power select parts of a few cities. Not one single freeway or expressway was constructed. Literacy rate was at 10% when they left in 1960. That figure has risen to 75% under indigenous rule. So essentially we had to start from scratch at independence. Unlike the other non-black countries that were colonised. So the argument that ''we were all colonised'' HOLDS NO WATER.

Secondly, my interjection was not to ''blame the colonialists''. It was to blame those Africans who still regard white rule over them as something that would somehow benefit them, even against the backdrop of gross historical neglect they were subjected to under colonialism.

Such people need to be shown the HISTORY of colonial rule on this continent so they stop embarrassing the rest of us with their ignorance and stupidi.ty when they call for whites to come back and rule. That's the point of my interjection.

One advice, GET A LIFE.
Even Ghana would have a better economy if they had our resources.
Failure is not getting knocked down, it is not getting up again.

@levelszik:
look here mr man,you can say all you like but the fact still remains that FG development is always a stark contrast compared to state development and any region that host the fct always has an upper hand with fast infrastructural development.lagos,calabar and abuja are evidence to that fact.And by the way,is it a tradition in yoruba land to always introduce curses and abuses of all sorts amidst discussion?SMH

Close ur smelling mouth n stop vomiting nonesense in dis honourable forum. Who told u Akwa Ibom is wat it is bcoz of FG? Instead of telling ur governor 2 develop ur state wit all d monthly allocation he has been collecting, u are busy giving a blatantly unfair judgement.

Bro! You are not a good critic honestly.

Actually you are the one who lacks basic common sense, unable to follow a simple reasoning process, in your zeal to play Mr Inferior to whites. For the umpteenth time you dullard, THE REASON SOUTH AFRICA IS MORE ADVANCED THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN AFRICA TODAY is that the colonialists RE-INVESTED the profits made from selling the natural resources of the country back into the country since the first day they set foot there in the 1800s, building schools, universities, power plants, and lasting institutions. The reason they did this was because there was a substantial white population in South Africa to whom they felt obligated to empower/develop etc. By 1945 South Africa was already a developed nation. In fully black territories like Nigeria, there was no such re-investment of export earnings in the local economy by the colonial power, with nearly all export earnings siphoned to Europe. This is what accounts for the disparity in development between South Africa and the rest of Africa today. It is not because ''oh... whites ruled in South Africa and blacks rule in Nigeria!!'' as your simplistic, inferiorized mind tells you. There are real, strategic and historical reasons accounting for the disparity which you can only appreciate if you open your brains to learn and stop thinking in terms of ''white is good and black is bad''.

One advice: GET A BRAIN.

Ghana is the LAST country you should be mentioning here.

Ghana has just 25 million people yet is Africa's second largest producer of gold after South Africa, the world's largest cocoa producer, and now are producing oil and gas. If you're going to criticise Nigeria, what do you say of Ghana with so many resources and just the size of Lagos to feed? Their people really should be asking their leaders why they're not more prosperous. Nigeria can claim they have 170 million people to cater for on pretty average oil reserves. (We only produce as much oil as Kuwait (2 million pop)) What's Ghana's excuse? You should be ashamed to mention Ghana here. The good thing about them is they seem to be on track to at last making use of their resources to their peoples' benefit. But you could say the same about Nigeria as well, unless you're a stranger to current affairs in this country.

NnamdiN: I agree with you as well. I still maintain the whites could have made a better impact.

Because your brain is on holiday. You do realise the British ruled Nigeria for 63 years in which period they built you just one university and no power plant. Yet you still think they could have made a better impact than the Nigerian govt that built 135 universities in the last 50 years, scores of power plants, and thousands of miles of road, where before, all was bush. Is that not a sign that you are an irredeemable dullard who would rather be a deprived slave so long as he is ruled by whites, than a free, developing person under black rule? I wonder if it is that imported Christianity that makes some of you so mind numbingly st.upid and blind, as to not know what is in your own best interest.

Garbage. Dubai this Dubai that. How many liveable cities are there in the Middle East apart from Dubai? Africa is filled with numerous beautiful, modern interesting cities from Nairobi to Dakar, Abidjan to Maputo, Harare, Dar e salaam, Abuja and Windhoek amongst others. But your anti-black inferiority complex will not let you explore those cities in your haste to kiss Arab asss in Dubai or white asss in London. Meanwhile the people there regard you with open disdain for worshipping them and hating yourself.. Shameless.

rooftech: give us a pix of 1987 when the state was created.

Right on POINT, bro!

take it slowly bro I actually meant they could have made a better impact after ruling for 63 uninterrupted years.
