You are actually the one that sounded dumb and stupiddd. If not how would yiu even make such dumb comment that a rural nsukka is more strategically located than Onitsha. It can only be an illiterate that would ever reason like this. He even went further to state the FG chose nsukka, how many Nigerians knew nsukka before 1960s if not for Zik that chose it for the school.
Localemperor: You sound really dumb and stupid at the same time.How do you manage to survive with this type of reasoning your submission is not in line with what is being discussed.I will not be replying you anymore, do have a wonderful night.
Will launch with okada or barrow ? Are you crazy? No Nigerian airline will go to Ebonyi because it is a useless worthless venture.
Ebonyi amusement park airport will never work because no airline will ever agree to go there. Flight ticket is almost 200k, it is only your governor and his commissioners can afford it, almost everyone in ebonyi cannot afford it because ebonyi is the poverty capital of Nigeria.
Ebubu: Ebonyi airport will launch this December with state-owned aircrafts. Frenemy, be prepared to cry more hot hot tears.
Please go and study your geography since you are too dumb to have this discussion.
As for UNN being federal project, without Zik there wouldn’t have been anything called UNN today. If you know how Nigeria is configured you would be sincere enough to know that Zik was the singular reason that school came there in the first place because of his position as the president and firstly Governor General of Nigeria.
Lemme go back to geography. Onitsha is the most strategically located city in Igbo land. The city before the coming of Asaba and Anambra international airports had access through land and sea, there is no other Nigerian city with such access except Lagos and Port harcourt.
Due to the strategic location of Onitsha, it played a major role during the colonial era, that was why the first Igbo bible literature was first written in Onitsha dialect because the city was the first place the Europeans first berthed when they arrived in the eastern region.
Onitsha is the only Igbo city that links all the regions in Nigeria. It links SW, north and Niger Delta.
Nsukka was considered by Zik because, firstly Zik was a detribalized Nigerian that saw everywhere in Nigeria and Igboland in particular as his constituency, not because any federal government knows anywhere called Nsukka prior to Zik bringing the school there. Without Zik backing there wouldn’t be anything called UNN today. For you to get anything in Nigeria it depends on who you know , and that was exactly what played out when Zik took that initiative .
Stop arguing nonsense
Localemperor: First of all UNN is not an Igbo project, its a Nigeria project.
Now lets look at the Nigerian map, Onitsha as a city has no direct connection with the Southwest, It has no direct connection with Northern Nigeria and most importantly it does not have a close state that brings all the region together in one.
Now this is why I think Nsukka was considered the best location, Zik never want the university to leave the Eastern region and at the same time wants it to be accessible to all Nigerians.
Kogi state borders Enugu state from Enugu North senatorial zone which also serves as Nsukka's location. From Kogi state alone you can access the South South through Edo State, you can access the South West through Ekiti and Ondo state, you can access the North through Nassarawa, Abuja, Niger, Kwara and Benue and you can access the South East through Enugu. All this states has a boundary with Kogi state and Kogi state is not far from Nsukka where the University is situated.
Ebonyi your state was picked because it is the poverty capital of Nigeria haha
Ebubu: Rubbish post Why always picking on Ebonyi? Is it a crime to be ambitious?
I'm sure when Enugu airport was built in early 1960s there was massive poverty in Enugu and it was solely used by British expatriates and Politicians but your idiotic father of the Journalist didn't complain like his son is.
How’s timid nsukka that hasn’t seen civilization even after 50yrs of having UNN more accessible than Onitsha where the missionaries first established western education and missionaries(Catholic and Anglican) in the entire eastern Nigeria, a city that was mostly occupied and used by European businessmen and women that were importing and exporting during colonial era , that was even long before Nigeria had independence. Zik was a detribalised Nigerian, that’s why he did what he did. Zik was the only nationalist that was detribalized among all the founding fathers. There’s no Igbo city more strategically located than Onitsha, because it’s the link between eastern Nigeria to western, southern and northern Nigeria both by land and sea . The truth is that Zik wasn’t a tribalist like most Nigerian politicians today .
Localemperor: When Zik was citing UNN, he put into consideration that UNN was the first indigenous University in Nigeria and needed to be accessible by all Nigerians. that was why Nsukka was used. Nsukka is more accessible to Nigerians when compared to Onitsha. If the University must be situated in the South East, then Nsukka is the only suitable location. Onitsha is down south, Aba is down south, Nsukka is the only location that allows the project to remain in the South East and also accessible to Nigerians.
There is a reason it is called University of Nigeria and not University of Eastern Nigeria.
Definitely not in LP cos the authentic INEC and APC recognised recognised of LP will never allow Obi get the Presidential ticket. He has been warned already of not getting automatic ticket for Presidential election.
Definitely not in PDP too cos APC is using Wike to control PDP NWC to ensure he retains the National structure and prevent Atiku to emerge as Party Candidate who Obi hopes to Vice.
Ebubu: It just takes a little division and pokeness from the owners of Nigeria for it to happen. After all you lot discriminate particularly Abakaliki people calling them Non-Igbo and their dialect non-Igbo
Ebonyi people are not igbos. You people are almajiris from Niger republic. Stop deceiving yourself Ositaufere
What’s this one yapping about Biko? Ebonyi pill? lol . Gala hawkers are they the ones you are referring to? How can people that are hawking gala everywhere in Nigeria serve anyone pill? How can almajiris like ebonyi people serve any one pill? You people are the scum in igboland abd no one rates or reckon you people. Ndi awusa feeling funky haha
HighTension80: That's to sacarstic! You must have been served the Ebonyi pill for you to sound this bitter.
The current minister of works is an Ebonyi man. And he's not doing any badly.
Biggest and best entertainment center in Igbo land and Nigeria at large
Bestmanfornow: The ongoing Solution Fun City which is situated at the heart of Anambra state capital Awka is gradually taking shape, the governor of Anambra Prof Charles Soludo is determined to transform Anambra state, this Fun city comes with Water Park, Amusement park, Country Club, Sports complex, Family Park, Arcade, Cinema, Food court etc when completed it will be a very big boast to Anambra state tourist sector and boast the state IGR
Watch the video of the project through the link below
Anambra is the America of ndi ebonyi. Anambra is the dreamland destination for millions of ebonyi people.
Anambra has the best infrastructures in igboland but single and double lanes. Anambra is the economic capital of igboland.
If Anambra start deporting millions of ebonyi people that ran to Anambra to live because ebonyi is a useless worthless backward state full of dilapidated obsolete infrastructures, poverty infested people, miscreants, etc. ebonyi people are more or less almajiris in igboland. So it’s an insult to even put a cursed useless state like ebonyi in the same sentence with a progressive state like Anambra.
Ebubu: White elephant project. This is not the need of Anambra state. This is supposed to be private sector driven. Government has no basis to be engaging in building hotels or recreation center. Is thriving landmark owned by govenrment? Some things are better left for private sector Anambra's single lane and dilapidated, narrow roads need to be dualised. Tiny one lane roads yappa for Anambra state. And they're not even tidy .
SmartPolician: For the first time, I agree with you. Alternatively, the state government can get a private investor to manage it....like a PPP arrangement. If not, that project will die the moment Soludo leaves office.
Imo bitter basstsrd we know you can agree with him but when Roaches built statues you hailed him
Abagworo: Nnewi still neglected since 1999 and their hope of producing Governor already dashed. Soludo should try and give Nnewi required attention
Anambra is giving attention to Onitsha, Awka building more infrastructures to upgrade Ekwuluobia to Anambra 4th city. In imo state the governor is not giving any attention to any area of imo state not even Owerri. Ozodimgba should give attention to Owerri the town is in shambolic state
Ebubu: if Anambra had it or Enugu you wouldn't be complaining.
You all just hate Ebonyi but we don't care and we will never be part of Eastern Region or Biafra because we know you will close down our airport and say we don't need it.
You people only want good things for the other 4 SE states.
It is because ebonyi is a useless worthless backward almajiri state hahaha
