Nwokem just shut up..you chatting nonsense with those boastful lines. I am not interested in your useless unfounded explanations. I only quoted the fool that was unsettled by the marketing guy. That was why the whole thing started.

Boastful lines indeed! I see the insults as a byproduct of weakness, so i prefer to ignore such especially if it comes from a fellow Igboman on this forum. Just as i told Chino sometime ago, you guys should lay low. Each state in our part of this world is abundantly blessed, but as it is in all federal settings, we shall all develope gradually. An Igbo adage says "onu na ebe akwa, imi esoro ya na ebe"!

You don't seems to understand my point. I don't have any problem with you nor your state, go up on this thread and see where it all started. I only commented based on what some of your people posted earlier about 2pages backward. Do a little search up there. Let us be mindful of our comments.

Enugu is not mainly divided into Enugu and Nsukka, Enugu state is divided into many local governments of which some notable groups are distinct.

Enugu capital
Nike area
Udi area
Ezeagu area
Nkanu area
Nsukka area
Oji River area
Awgu area

Enugu capital is a center made up of many parts of the different groups, and no group can claim it. Enugu south is made up of mainly Nkanu west parts, Enugu North is mainly Ngwo/Udi parts, Enugu east is made up of Nike parts. The Ezeagu, Oji River, Nsukka, Awgu and Nkanu east areas are so far away from Enugu that claiming any kind of grounds there is not feasible.

But we understand that we all own the center, Enugu. Land ownership is spread almost equally as all parts of Enugu are fully represented in land ownership and distribution.

Nobody should use Enugu capital development to excuse the neglect of the inner towns, because they are very different. For example, people living in Nsukka can get to the government house much faster than somebody coming from either Okpanku (Aninri) or Inyi Achi (Oji River). But this does not mean Nsukka or Oji river is more important than the other.

when chimaroke was governor..he did three major roads across the three senatorial roads..{opi/nsuka road..agwu/ndiabor road..agbani amagunze road} all these roads i mentioned have all been rehabilitated and upgraded expect the agbani /amagunze road.why the hatred towards nkanu people?nkanu people should learn to appreciate their own,,we need to put our house in order...

I have said this before on this platform, that Nike(Nkanu people actually) , male up a huge part of Enugu metropolis including the north.
While Udi contributed Camp area, New market side, etc.
Ogui ,Asata, Obiagu, Njemanze, etc are all parts of Nike land and Enugu north. I don't know who contributed Independence layout, Ekulu, GRA, New Haven though.
But I can say that Udi and Nkanu contributed to the City .

Finally Nkanu is vast. Enugu south, East, North, and the core Nkanu hinterlands

Bro, I think Independence layout, Ogui (Ogui Nike) and Abakpa are all Nike/Nkanu parts of Enugu. Legend has it that Nike is the elder brother of Nkanu. Ekulu on the other hand is on Ngwo side of Enugu.

There was an old man who told me a story one day, he told me Ngwo used to occupy all the expanse of land now called Trans Ekulu, till the last war was fought a long time who where Nike people chased Ngwo people across the Ekulu river. I don't know how authentic the story is though.

talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face

somebody(probably a yoruba) came here to divide you guys into enugu ibo and ebonyi ibo and even claimed enugu ibo is different from other ibos and you guys are shamelessly showering him/her/it with likes

Part of independence layout is owned by Ugwuaji (Nkanu) New haven & the other remaining part is owned by Nike (Nkanu).
Ekulu and part of GRA is Ngwo the part is Nike

Lol, but one of your brothers here is claiming that Enugu city should not be considered as Nkanu and crying about some remote villages as if such places does not exist in other zones, seems Nkanu remains the largest beneficiary in Enugu state then
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by igwebuike01: 8:31pm On May 29, 2017
I thought Nike people are distinct people, i am surprise hearing that they Nkanu sub group. well they own a large part of Enugu, but Enugu was primarily Ngwo (Udi) land but the Udi hill could not allow expansion into Udi hinterlands, thereby pushing developments towards Nike and other Nkanu lands

Unfortunately, this is the same line of argument the northerners have been using as justification for marginalizng the South east. To them, Nigeria is divided into two, North and south. They don't care that there are Yorubas, Ijaws, Edos, and Igbos in the south.

Is this right, is this what you want for our Enugu state? Should we cry Federal government neglect if we support same thing in our own state?
Abuja is not in South East but Enugu city is in Nkanu land. how can you claim marginalization when you host the capital that takes lion share of all infrastructures?

On side track, UNTH's Ituku- Ozalla construction was started by NPN, during Alhaji Shehu Shagari's administration - 1980\81.

Law School Agbani was established by FGN in honour of Justice Augustine Nnamani, of Supreme Court of Nigeria.
In that case, Nkanu man (Jim Nwobodo) terminated the establishment of UNTH in Nsukka and took it to his Nkanu home. So what then is the complains of Nkanu people here

Thank you my brother, what I always say about democracy is that, "While the majority should have their way, the minority should have their say" I have every right as well as any other person to demand that my town/local government be remembered. I also have every right to align with anyone who can help further the cause of my area, that is politics.

I get happy when I see progress in form of ongoing projects in Enugu state. I travelled to Nsukka to bring us pictures of the ongoing road by the governor Ugwuanyi. I also showed us roads by Ugwuanyi at Ogbaku, Awgu and Ugwuoba in Oji river. I see it as good progress. But every part of Enugu state should be remembered. Small allocation is not an excuse why we can feed only some of our children and starve the rest, because there is not enough food to go round.
What is your definition of "part"? there is no way a government can work in all villages

He hasn't said that his people are targeted and he's aware that his community is not alone but he has to fight for his own. Though we all know the government cannot construct roads everywhere but there's no harm in ringing in the ears of whoever cares to listen. For instance, i'm from Enugu-south LGA but there's nothing wrong with me complaining about the neglect of my village in particular (Amechi-Uwani).

you really need to go through the thread and stop trying to be his mouthpiece. we really need to evolve away from this village thing. Cities and satellite towns should be mapped out in every zone and given utmost priority. Your Nkanu brothers should stop comparing their villages to Nsukka town too. Nsukka town is equivalent to Enugu city apart from Enugu's status as state capital. The way you have Nomeh, we have numerous communities in Uzo uwani LGA too that are disconnected. Resources are limited and there must be prioritazation

You're the one needs to open up your mind and entertain different opinions because it seems to me that you want to shut him up. He has the right to complain even if his father is Chimaroake Nnamani.

Check this out, pay attention to the underlined. Is the section of the state he is complaining about in the same category with his village? Is his own section of the state not the highest beneficiary in the State? Even if he want to complain about his village why always dragging with somewhere that is not mate with his village?

I really wish Nnamani had won that election.
Gil Nnaji is as ineffectual as he is inconspicuous. It constantly puzzles me how that man was re-elected to represent an area as sophisticated and diverse as Enugu East.
Whatever little (town halls and youth 'development' centers) he has achieved has been in his native Nikeland. We at Isi Uzo have benefited nothing from Gil's over 10 years in the upper house, and I'm sure the situation is the same in Nkanu. So laid back that Ekweremadu is even more popular than he (Gil) is in his (Gil's) own constituency.
A part of me swells with anger whenever Gil is mentioned too often. angry
Dear Gil Nnaji, Three-time senator representing Enugu East, Isi Uzo and Nkanu have yet to feel your impact.
The Obollo-Ikem-Eha Amufu-Nkalagu(Ebonyi) Road is a federal road in your constituency, and while the Obollo-Ikem section has been done by your Enugu North counterpart, you couldn't be bothered about the Ikem-Eha Amufu-Nkalagu section, thus the Federal College of Education, Eha Amufu has remained inaccessible for a decade, under your watch. Eha Amufu, a once thriving agrarian railroad town, has turned into a backwater area where no one wishes to visit, and you couldn't be bothered about that either.
