Ttipsy, are the above Owerri roads what you are yapping about? Hehehehe

The bitter truth is that Owerri or any part of Imo state does not even have roads to start with. See more of the Owerri roads you are talking about..lol

When people are talking about roads, people from Imo state are not supposed to talk pim.

See more of Owerri below.

Kiss the truth

Oga why are you displaying stupidity, the nature of the road might be bad, that's not even the issue here, take a close look at the road, you notice how wide it's. tell your governor to dualize roads..

Chri08102702694:
Why are you crying like a fool? Hehehehe

The argument here is that all the roads in Owerri and Imo state in general are all bad and unmotorable.

So how can a people that doesn't have roads talk to a people that have roads? Is it not insanity?

Even your gov accepted recently that all the roads in imo state are terrible and horribly bad.

Please tell your useless incompetent gov to fix these Owerri roads and Imo state in general. The whole state sux.

Kiss the truth

okay suit yourself Mr

nnamdijonathan:


lol. Its like you also know those guys very well. Every wealthy Igbo man is a greedy ritualist to them.

Abagworo every wealthy Nigerian is also a ritualist, including your Tribesmen

No no no..this is not the time to suit yourself. Let us finish this up. Anu mpama

Ttipsy:
okay suit yourself Mr

Now they stop clashing igbos with Anioma and Ikwerre to stop any alliance. The next thing is to change monikers and post gutter images and trying to curse Imo and anambra with different monikers
Abagworo , you must get tired one day.

investnow2013:
This is a major road that originally was ment to be 4 lanes but like other roads in The state was left to be a single lane.I believe that whenever this road which is a federal road and also known as Obosi bye-pass is dualized by the State govt up to EZEIWEKA starting from Nworah Obosi and Nkpor,Onitsha City status will look greater!

The dualization of the road is a matter of when, and not if.
It must be dualized, it just has no other option but to be dualized.

Onitsha people need to paint their houses. These dull colours isn't making the place as beautiful as what it should be.

The future of Nigeria belongs to the East
February 25, 2011

– by Azubuike Ekwueme –

Earmark $200 billion Dollars to rebuild the East –

Be bold and resolute, and mighty forces will come to your aid - Basil King, on overcoming fear.

Since the end of the civil war, I’ve prayed for this moment. A moment when God and providence, have heard the prayers of the Easterners in Nigeria. Today, the presidency is in the hands of a another capable Easterner since Ironsi’s regime. Indeed, it is fantastic to be alive in 2011, the year of the East. The exhilarating thing about all this, is that all the former members of the former Eastern Region is in full support of the this presidency. For the first time in the history of Nigeria, the owner of the barn, has the yam as well as the knife. Folks, this is our time and it is here to stay.



With good luck and a president named Goodluck, and with the sun still rising from the East, this is the time, our time to tackle our most pernicious and vexing problem – disunity. This aggressive cancer has been left to metastasize and grow since the end of the civil war. We need an equally aggressive treatment to curb it and get rid of it entirely. Therefore, Truth and Reconcilliation summit of all the Eastern States (former Eastern Region) is urgently needed. The heavens could not have aligned itself any better for this august event. With a transformative president, a member of the former Eastern Region, GEA Jonathan, – the Obama of Nigeria, what else could the East be waiting for. President Jonathan will give us his ears, if we ask it of him.

Our Eastern ethnicities, the Igbo, Ibibio, Ijaw, Efik, Oron and others, this initiative is for you. We must rise and come together to implement this peace project. In this bid to repair the damaged Eastern third let of the Nigeria tripod, we must never be seen to be afraid or perceived to be afraid. We, the Eastern democrats are not alone, and will never be alone. We need to listen Basil King, when he advised that; Be bold and resolute, and mighty forces will come to your aid. The East being natural democrats, should entertain no fears whatsoever. Democracies all around the world are waiting for us to begin, waiting for us to just say the word. They do understand that East has been hurt in Nigeria, that Niger Delta had been robbed, decimated, poisoned and irreversibly harmed. They understand that the East had been eviscerated, mocked and dumped. We have friends, we have to have our nerves and our thoughts.

Fixing the East

The future of Nigeria could have belonged to the East. But the civil war robbed the East of its future. With its ebullient and hard working citizenry, economic drive, a natural democratic DNA, the old Eastern Region could have become the Dubai of Africa, even without OIL. We could have become the shinning region on a hill. However, that was not to be, we have been robbed. Instead of becoming a Dubai, we’ve became an Ajegunle conclave. When compared to the Western or Northern Nigeria, Eastern Nigeria has returned to the bush. We were and are still defeated, marginalized and robbed. The East has been denigrated, divided and poisoned. Nigeria milked our OIL and decimated our land. They stole from us and allowed us die hungry in the midst of plenty, in our marshes and creeks. So, they deliberately kicked in the eastern third leg of the stool, and dared us to say a word. Soon, they are down in delta to kill and destroy our villages.

Now, we are going to address these problems with a view to fixing the East. This clear-sighted epiphany was imbued in us by our creator, when he made us natural democrats. We have the imprints of Democracy in our DNA. It is a fact.

The time has come for the Igbo ethnic nation to hold hands with Ijaw ethnic nation, Ibibio ethnic nation as well as Efik ethnic nation across the East. Our purpose is to each send a powerful delegation for the unity of the East. Our brother the president, GEA Jonathan will be listening. It is time to fix the broken third leg of our national tripod. This is the time to rebuild the East, all the East. This is the time to uproot the evil tree planted by the last war. Folks, this is what the doctor has ordered.

The Delegation
Delegation members will include all the constellations of stars and great men and women of the East. Great names like, Ambassador Uwechue, Pat Utomi, Donald Duke, Rotimi Amaechi, Oyibo Odinanmdu, Gov Akpabio, Gov. S Chime, Gov. Obi, The Obi of Onitsha, The Obi of Asaba, Obi of Agbor, Sen. President Nnamani, Jim Nwobodo and our Catholic, as well as our Protestant Bishops. Let us point them to the reconciliation bar. Let us send these people to President GEA Jonathan to talk unity, unity of all the East. We will fix the East. If necessary, Obama people might be able to help. Fixing the damaged third leg of our tripod is job number one. Tam David West, Edwin Clarke could be invited if they promise to be statesmen in good behavior.

A necessity


Take a look at the INECS statistics of registered voters below.

South West Nigeria 15 Million
North East Nigeria 8 Million
North Central 8 Million
South South Nigeria 8 Million

South East Nigeria 7 Million

Total 64 million

What do you see in the statistics below?

Northern and Western Nigeria are absorbing population from the S/South and S/East at an alarming rate. That is intentional policy to under develop the East, to depopulate the East, and make them inconsequential as a conquered region. The people that fought the war are still paying for it.

Why is fixing the East vitally necessary at this point in time? With respect to time, there can be no better time than now. Jonathan is key. With regards to why, we must uproot the evil tree planted by the defeating army. It has held the East down from real power. This evil has forced us to become second class citizens. We must refuse to become thirsty in a stream of flowing natural water. Nobody has the right to break up the East. They do not have that right. We will take our East back. Nigerian army destroyed the Eastern region and handcuffed our cohesion. They did this not because of the coup majors, but for the sake of OIL. When they got our OIL, they did nothing for us. Instead they built Abuja, and they built Lagos, and nothing in the East. They took the golden eggs from the Eastern goose. As far as I know, before the war, there had been no major instance of misunderstanding between the ethnic communities of the East region. If there were any, they would be very minimal indeed. The East has got be fixed for the

future of the East and its people.

$800 BILLION FOR EASTERN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR

The people of the East are going to ask the president, Jonathan to literally, drop $800 billion dollars to rebuild the East from the ravages of the civil war. Eastern region has paid an inordinate price for the war it did not cause. This initiative is vitally important for these two reasons;

1. The quickest way to redevelop Nigeria is to help Lagos with its aggravating population density. If we effectively develop the Easter part of Nigeria, the crowd of unemployed youth will evacuate Lagos or Abuja and head for the East. Employment seekers will have another alternative other than Lagos or Abuja.

2. All Southerners and Middle Belt people in the danger zones of Jos, Plateau state, may now relocate to the East, to jobs and to businesses without fear. Depopulating Lagos and Abuja is vital for wider economic development of the nation. High unemployment index in the East, makes “kidnapping” attractive.

This initiative will manage our problems and keep it to acceptable levels. Eventually, problems will go away as the things of the past. The East would then bounce back as the beacon region again.

http://www.nigerdeltacongress.com/oarticles/opening_up_the_nigerian_eastern_.htm

This commission will advise and persuade president Jonathan’s administration to give the East a much needed infrastructural development. The northerners and Westerners had this odious policy of starve, and humble the East. They blatantly refused to build any infrastructure in the East. Take for instance, the much needed second Niger Bridge at Asaba-Onitsha. This is a federal project for interstate commerce. Because if connected Igbo people across the Niger, it was denied. It took an Easterner, an Ijaw man to make Enugu and international airport. The ethnicities that won the war, that had ruled Nigeria since after the war are bad for the East.

So, from the Onitsha river port to Onne port, from Port Harcourt port, to Calabar port, all the ports in the East will have to be re-developed to the same level as the Lagos ports. Tinapa to a world class destination must be revived. Akanu Ibiam International must be rebuilt to reflect the new status. Enugu Coal mine will have to be resuscitate, and made to provide alternative power source. Mega Mall of the East will replace Onitsha market. Second Niger Bridge, which ostensibly had been a federal neglected project will have to built.

Let us then, ask GEA Jonathan for the first time, to look eastward, and then let it rip. It is time to spend $800 billion dollars, not Naira, to develop the patched, hungry, and marginalized Eastern peoples. The Eastern Airspace, and Eastern ports must be completely up-developed. The north has got theirs. The West has got theirs. It is the time for the East, all the East.

Minorities not to fear

One of the great things that emerged after the war is the 36 states structure . This state structure of Nigeria shall remain inviolable. It gives every ethnicity the sense of belonging. They can now better manage their own people. It has to remain sacrosanct. The states has made each ethnic minority masters of their own domain. There no longer a question of the majority riding rough shod over them. Having own state frees up the East for political, economic cooperation. Such venture will be in the task of creating a fresh ideological based polity. What we are talking about is willful participation in an arbiter summit, to bring the people of the East back together. The East is the fertilized soil from which true Democracy should rise and flower to all Nigerians. We remain the only proto-Republican region in all of Nigeria. We’d hone in on our DNA and become a sub regional Democracy. This is a matter for another day.

A Plea to the Igbo


Umuigbo, in God’s name, please do not ridicule this article, or tear it to shreds, do not call anybody any names, do not insult anybody. Let us remember that if the Igbo ever expect to reconcile with our minority brothers and sisters, we must be seen and understood as “not threatening” either with our words or deeds. We, the Igbo must show the world that we are a compassionate people, as the older George Bush will have it, “kinder, gentler” Igbo people.

The Igbo will find it harder to prosper without Port Harcourt, so reconciliation is extremely vital.

Let the Igbo understand that ” a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still” . So, verbally beating an unconvinced Ikwerre man or Ibibio man over the head repeatedly, will never make him or her see things our way. The opposite is the truth. It’ll drive them further and further away from us. Let us become more adroit, more compassionate, less confrontational, and while doing this, keep our site on our goal. Our goal is or should be, establishing the Eastern Economic Corridor with Port Harcourt, Calabar, Onitsha as key ports. On the internet, please let us hold back our fire and become less pugnacious. Think of it this way – Ndigbo must understand the burden of being a big brother, a prudent big brother, with the knowledge of how to handle intra-ethnic human relations.

I have said it before, I’ll say it again. Let the Igbo become a kinder , gentler big brother, to the Ijaw, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Efik and other minorities of the East. It is in our vital economic interest. Imagine if your brother or sister runs away from home, and says he or she no longer belongs to the family, what’d you do? Prudence will will demand that we go the “kinder, gentler” route. Dragging them by their hair, slapping them, cursing them is definitely NOT the way to go? That is illogical. A thinking person will choose his or her words carefully, obviously. Ndigbo gee nti.

There is no better time than now to rebuild the East. 2011 is the year, our year.

As far as i'm concerned, even Port Harcourt is not good enough b'cos Ndigbo wouldn't feel free to go all out to invest/develop the city and have a sense of belonging as was the case pre-1967. Once bitten, twice shy!

Ndigbo need to identify a city with a few comparative advantages over others (could be the new Enyimba Economic City planned for Abia state; Enugu; Onitsha;Owerri or Abakaliki) and make it our own economic capital. This city MUST be placed on the world map with a state-of-the-art int'l airport, and it must have a rail link to at least one deep sea port. Also, it should have a dedicated and guaranteed power supply to power it's industries. If these three key investments are made in the city, i can guarantee you it would give Lagos and Abuja a run for their money within ten years. And if envious, bad-belle, so-called Nigerian 'compatriots' leave us the fuc/k alone and don't work against our interests, this city would become a reference point for FDIs in the West African sub-region within 15 years max!

Other things like adequate security and tax holidays/concessions would also have to be in place for the city to be a success.

yeah...i see what u mean...but we must never forget that ikwerres who own more than half of ph are actually igbos.

Having said that, i would say that ENUGU is the city u are looking for. Enugu is a planned city...the european colonisers founded and planned enugu and ph themselves to become the 2 hubs of the old eastern region.

Enugh has gone ahead to maintain a level head and develope significantly...its also a cosmopolitan igbo city. The anambra, imo, abia and ebonyi folks are all comfortable and familiar with enugu.

Enugu has an international airport already. Enugu already has a rail line linking it with ph port. Enugu is coal city...this means it can comfortably power itself 100%. Enugu also already has the oji river thermal station. Enugu also is home to the premium university of nigeria (biafra).

And hey...lets not forget...enugu was the capital of eastern region and of east central state....so in earnest, enugu is actually the capital of igboland!!
