Ezi okwu?

But he equally posted a picture of a federal road in Anambra that was just awarded for reconstruction. Let him be warned that I have a bucket of pictures from his laid-back state to show-case here.

Hypocrites..

St_Black: @MajeMedia

I wouldnt faulr your posts as to A REASONABLE EXTENT, It looks true.

However, what I just see as faulty in your theories here is the motive behind them. ! . A good government, irrespective of the mantle of expectations & responsibilities that is required of it by its people, must show its qualities of "good" through the delivery of the adequate standard of welfare & good life that the people of a nation (or the government) are entitled to OR should boast of.

That the people of a nation or government do not actively depend or rely on the government IS NO EXCUSE for the government to be a Nonentity.

Be it Socialist or Republican, or whatever character & way of life the people of a country may portray, Its Government must be Reliable. !!!

The BITTER truth here is:

I'm sorry if you feel offended, but I just have to put it straight that the Government/Leaderships in Igboland are the BEST examples of the WORST kind of governments that ever occured in human history. !! .

But please hope you remember that "the home of the people IS the picture of the people themselves. "

The reason for been Republicans is the reason why your homes are what they are today

...Also, the reason why we Yorubas are Socialists is the reason why our homes are what they are today.

MY 2 cents. !

MajeMedia:

LOL you don't get it, Anambra has the highest JAMB test scores in the entire nation! So what does your painted desk really mean? Imo has a number of jamb applicants that's double the next closest Yoruba state. It's great that Edo and APC states have focused on making school presentable, but schools in igbo land focus of competition between students, and displaying achievement and talent. When the governor visits the best students present their skills, they compete for this honor, and so when it's time to take a test they maintain the attitude of competition. Everyone wants to be the best, desk, bare floor or mansion, it doesn't matter the terrain.

Ayekotoo:
in as much as I like your write-up and analysis but its highly biased.
yorubas are great entrepreneurs. infact, they are the largest entrepreneurs in Nigeria.
Yorubas are the largest welders, barbers, carpenters, butchers, hairdressers, artists, bricklayers, plumbers, traders, mechanics, vulcanizers et all in the country, these can be seen from their associations' executives in nigeria. These are just semi and unskilled professions. in other hand, igbos exp their men are the largest importers in nigeria. They just love importing anything whether good or bad due to the numbers of their ignorance for economy.

Ayekotoo:
This is pointless!


How many igbos are barbers? moreover, I typed that to rubbish your perspection about Igbos are more entrepreneurial



if this is true, how come ebonyi state trumps Anambra in term of IGR or is Ebonyi not a typical Igboland? like someone said, its either your leaders have failed woefully in discharging their duties or they are milking your revenues dry.


someone had responded to this



most of the people that own mansions live in outside igboland but only come home occasionally to use them. they are always empty but fill during festive season

Ayekotoo:
what has JAMB scores got to do with being educated and literate? All tertiary schools in Ogun outnumber Southeast tertiary schools combined. what does that tell you?

Omo_Tier1:

It is a FACT that Edo state is more prosperous and is developing faster than your Anambra.

Show me one place in Anambra that looks like this:

MajeMedia: Another myth i would like to debunk.
Again, Imo, Delta, Anambra, and Abia EVER year trade places for #1 in Jamb scores, and WAEC. These are facts. Literacy in all igbo states, except Ebonyi, is 94%+. You have never met an Igbo man or woman that doesn't speak english, every well, and english is taught in schools. I met Yorubas Edos and Hausas that don't speak english, the language of education in Nigeria. You will never meet a homeless igbo man or one that isn't feeding his or her family.

Ayekotoo:
Igbos equate pidgin English as the real English. A little look at media houses will make you bow your head in shame. how many igbos are columnists, editorials, presenters, broadcasters compare to the yorubas? reading champion newspaper can make someone have F9 in English language.

MajeMedia:
LOL so now igbos speak more pidgin than yorubas? After Warri who is the champion of pidgin in Nigeria?
You're going to now tell me that Igbos aren't writers?

doc sholz: Sorry to ask when did allocation become part of IGR?

MajeMedia:

And it's also the reason why there's homelessness and begging in yoruba land and no such a thing in igbo land.

It is absolute madness for an igbo man to expect the government to build his house for him, build his business for him, pay him money for no reason, etc etc. You'll never meet an igbo without a life plan and government assistance is never a part of it. As much as yorubas have advocated for social welfare, and igbos haven't, ironically the welfare of society in igboland is better than Yoruba land. There are no slums, no shanties, no thatch roof mud villages, no beggars, no homeless, no sleeping under bridges, no makokos, no almajiri, no agbero etc etc. Everyone is expected to take care of themselves.

Igbos are definitely in Yoruba land, but they're also in Somalia Haiti Niger Republic and Afghanistan. They're in Bayelsa, they're in Jigawa, they're in Lagos they're in Abuja. Were they see opportunity, they're there, and they're still in the east in heavy enough number to build enormous and productive cities. Nobody is going to Yoruba land because of social welfare (lol). They're going to Yoruba land because they see 40 million people they can sell things too and collect rent from, simple.

MidasT: OOOOhhh my brother, God will bless ur so Much. I was thinking they taught me rubbish in the school i went to. OP, please explain in ur own skewed analysis when does Federal allocation becomes Internally Generated Revenue. And this ur report is contradictory to what was carried recently by majority of the reputable national dailies, that placed Lagos first, Rivers second, and Delta somewhere in third position. OP, i think u are HIGH on CRACK!

Ayekotoo:
you meant there are no Igbo almajiris? did u type this with your tongue? There are Igbo beggars in Lagos. moreso, by getting to Niger bridge, you will be welcome with Igbo touts that we called Agbero here.


if socialism is what you called madness in igboland, no need having government in the first place. so much to say par your education in igboland

agbameta:

You don't expect the government to do anything for you, but you cry and beg the FG to do everything for you. You begged and cried for 30 years for the FG to build the 2nd Niger bridge for and its still not built and you still won't do on your own. On the othe hand, the folks in the SW don't beg or wait, the build their own infrastructures including bridges.

You are not known for doing anything on your own.

Nigeria’s Tope Folarin has won the 2013 Caine Prize for African Writing, described as Africa’s leading literary award, for his short story entitled ‘Miracle’ from Transition , Issue 109 (Bloomington, 2012).
The Chair of Judges, Gus Casely-Hayford, announced Tope Folarin as the winner of the £10,000 prize at a dinner held this evening (Monday, 8 July) at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
‘Miracle’ is a story set in Texas in an evangelical Nigerian church where the congregation has gathered to witness the healing powers of a blind pastor-prophet. Religion and the gullibility of those caught in the deceit that sometimes comes with faith rise to the surface as a young boy volunteers to be healed and begins to believe in miracles.
Gus Casely-Hayford praised the story, saying: "Tope Folarin's 'Miracle' is another superb Caine Prize winner - a delightful and beautifully paced narrative, that is exquisitely observed and utterly compelling".
Tope Folarin is the recipient of writing fellowships from the Institute for Policy Studies and Callaloo, and he serves on the board of the Hurston/Wright Foundation. Tope was educated at Morehouse College, and the University of Oxford, where he earned two Master's degrees as a Rhodes Scholar. He lives and works in Washington, DC.

LOL at how many igbos are barbers. So how is cutting our hair? Chinko? hahaha
Ebonyi state is very much not typical igbo land, every igbo knows this. It doesn't make the people of Ebonyi better or worst but culturally everyone know Ebonyi state is different.

You're not an igbo and thus wouldn't know who owns what mansion in what village. The igbos you know are the igbos that come to your state. If you believe they're the only igbos that exist or that everyone in Imo state with no port is a professional importer that one is your own, but if I were to judge the yoruba from the yorubas that come to igboland i would assume all yorubas are market women.

MidasT: Am neither from the east nor west, but i think the Ibos have a system that works very well socially and economically. And that is the beauty of FEDERALISM. If only we would be allowed to practice it to the full extent, it will be much more better in the SE and SS than any other part in Nigeria. The Ibos are by far the richest ethnic group in Nigeria, because they have majority of their population doing well economically than any other part of Nigeria. They have this American mind set of independence and hardwork. They always seek the ability to derive from the economy the livelihood that would give them a maximum degree of choice. I presently live in a "VILLAGE" in Enugu state, but the houses i see here is better than what u will find in SW "CITIES".

Ayekotoo:
Typical Igbo chest-beating! not surprised

warrior01:

but you asked for it. Wish Yorubas can leave their enclave and to be frank, yorubaland is far behind.

ichidodo: ^^^^Chino and Majmedia have put you yeribas in your places, so the long epistle you churned out can termed as empty rants from a frustrated yeriba piisshead
