Hmm if you go to any igbo village meeting, you will see argument! I marvel at the level of their debate, it's same with that of parliamentary system, when people will endorse, majority will support or kick.. it's very compelling...

You didn't lie Nwanna. Igbos are very good with argument. They argue about every single thing. If you are a keen listener, you'll cherish their points and if you were elected to be a judge, I tell you, you will get confused.

Rapubazia, let's talk about our beautiful state nna.

Yes, I want to say something about igbos. This past week, I was opportune to get in touch of how school fees are paid in different "big" private schools in Lagos here. I found out that our brothers are spending huge sum of money to educate their wards in the west here.

Taking a particular school as a case study. I don't want to mention the name of the school for security reasons. The number of igbo kids per class is 80percent of the other kids. How much is their school fees, just above 500thousand naira per term. To be sincere with you, this school has as many students as in some public school. They can boast of 600 students or more.

If you multiply that amount by the number of students who are igbos, you'll understand what that money can do in the east. The funniest part is that the school is a boarding school and a missionary for that matter.

We're spending too much in other states when we can invest such amounts in our system. I am not saying they should bring such money, but if they can bring their wards to the east and let them school there. I think the money will make a lot of sense for us.

Arguments brings out the best as we all share our views and can pick from the best.
Alaigbo principally has no main city though Enugu remains our eternal capital. We argue and try developing all parts, same as of old when different villages have their different market days of eke, orie, nkwo and afor. No single village takes all market days as it must be shared to make all parts of the town viable.
This is one of our republican nature that can never be taken away, it's a gene thing, we must argue to agree on the best way forward.
You can never lord it over an Igbo man, never.

Ok.

Me too, congrats to Anambrians na Ndi-Igbo nwemu! Love to Igbo nation!

My own is total development of the eastern region. I have not rested and I still use my data everyday to research on ways to make the region world class. Sometimes, I leave my office very late, not for any official reasons but for the sake of research.

It is painful that many people are not taking this thing seriously but they remain adamant and stay put in their own world. The number of importers are increasing everyday and it will get to a time, the whole Lagos will be Jampacked. Before you let the federal government choose another region for development, we have to start ours now and force the ever-increasing businesses to relocate to the juicy-east.

If you relax and say God will do it, but u do not do anything about it. Then its a pity that things will not always come your way.

This land is not for sale!! I was rooted here,too!! #team400pages#

Umunnem How can we quickly restore public water supply again to our major cities of Ihiala, Ekwulobia, Otuocha, Onitsha,Oba, Nnewi & Awka?.

How can we repackage the republican lifestyle of Ndigbo?

Do we have water boards in those places?

Investnow, I will really want to raise something about block tiles on our street.

We all must come together and speak of the way forward and not someone telling us how and what to do, our ancestors had never done it and it wouldn't begin with us.

Work at the three fly over has not stalled. It only slowed down because of the persistent down pour these past few weeks.
Work is still in progress...
Shalom.

We must continue to hammer this to the govt that because our people are sinking Wàter borehole should't prevent them to Take Public water supply seriously because of the health implications!.

Cool, we should start from the umunna, ndiobodo, ndibeanyi, Ndigbo meetings all across the globe. Attend your umunna meetings around xmas in your villages though might not be too convenient for those in the diaspora.

E don happen. We made 400....Proud of you Frankie and Umu-Omanbala. Nya gazielu unu,umu nnem.

I wish to congratulate all those who are contributing to make this thread a success. One year and we are at 400 pages. We are Anambrarians Light of the nation, Trail blazers and Giants among men.

That beside, I want to point out something that has been eating away at my heart. I know this fact that Anambra state is the second smallest state by land mass after Lagos state and I am therefore appealing to the present state Government let by His Excellency Willie Obiano to map out like 2 or 3 areas in Anambra state as Forest Reserves not to be tampered with, not to witness any tree felling and bush burning. Or create an arboretum within the three major delevoping territories namely Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi. I do not mean the size of park besides Zik's home at Onitsha but someplace the size of Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil . We should take care of our environment and it will in turn add to our general well-being and longevity.

Please those of you close to the powers that be or who can voice it somewhere it will receive attention @FKO81, @investnow2013, @uduokirika1, @Chino11 and others...who are not less regarded should take this to heart.

All those high profile yoruba pastors with their jets,....which group do you think constitutes the highest ratio of contributors to their coffers?

My bro, these are genetic/environmental things indeed. This "arguments" is one of the core elements that made Nollywood the magic it is today. It's cultural too. Igbos are "blesssed". Strong, vibrant and energetic arguments have always being the bane of Igbos from the beginning of time. These strong, organic, vibrant and energetic arguments become hypnotic to those not involve in it. Nollywood Igbo root is directly link to this hypnotic effects. Although, other natural attributes like, the beauty of Igbo women, a uniquely concentration of light skin individuals (photogenic) and Igbo's architectural tastes cannot be over looked as well.

where am I now? on d page 400? chukwu daalu!
