Igbos stopped the Islamization of Nigeria? How? What kind of nonsense myopic Mumurist assertion is this?

People that can’t protect themselves from ordinary cattle rearers stopped the Islamization of Nigeria?

Other Nigerian tribes have a problem with some igbos because of the egocentric traits they possess, always feeling that they are better than their fellow Nigerian brothers & when their brothers decide pounce on them, for the nonsense attitude then the wailing begins.

No ask me ;ask your brother Obasanjo ;He made that statement,I think he's ;well informed;better than both of us.
Yoruba, Ijaw, and other Nigerians should be thanking God for the Igbos, they are the reason Nigeria hasn’t been Islamised yet — OBASANJO.

I always felt it is unnecessary. Awka to Enugu is less than an hour albeit the bad roads. So if efforts are made to fix the roads,flights will be landing in Enugu for Anambra North and central. Then Anambra South will be using Owerri airport.

Say you land in this Anambra airport, the terrible state of Anambra State roads will ensure you spend hours moving from Onitsha to Ekwulọbịa

What concerns Anambra Airport and Onitsha to someone that goes to Ekwulobia?

Anambra airport is closer to Awka than Enugu Airport.

It's only people around Ihiala that live close to Owerri.

As a matter of fact, Anamb airport is almost at the center of Anambra State.

If you know what kind of sacrifices that Igbos have given to there southern brothers ;including the Yorubas ;you wount say all this;without Ndigbo resistance according to Obasanjo Nigeria would have been Islamitzed long time ago by the Fulanis;reason why they hate Ndigbo so much;
AD party (Action Group) was not even a strong national political party; prior to 2015; an Igbo man Ogbonaya Onu stepped down; a strong Igbo national party to help ;pilot AD to form APC to help the Yoruba race.the Igbo and Yoruba have a magic synergy that appears not to exist among any other nationality in Nigeria: in the work places, in housing estates, in shanties, in schools, market places, beer parlours, face-me-I-face-you and above all in the spiritual realm, mainly churches. Material and cosmic relations bring them together and even bind them almost in ways inseparable.

In the past few years, the number of inter-marriages between Igbo and Yoruba have tripled. The third generation of Igbo in Yoruba territories speaks Yoruba as their first language. Many of them when they travel to the East and are to return would say they were ‘going back home’. Even if Biafra emerges today I do not see how the cordial relationship between Igbo and Yoruba would be a minus. In Yoruba villages, Igbo have remarkable dominion.

To upturn this amazing cobweb for any reason is tactless, reckless and irresponsible. On both sides, there are extremists, . It is the responsibility of leaders on both sides, young and old, men and women, armed and defenseless people alike, to exterminate base instincts and advance values that protect and glorify the lowest and highest common factors of unity and prosperity between the two great empires.

This should be the stand of any responsible people or individuals. This is the position that will advance humanity and protect the heritage of the two great nations

Fula:nis hide behind is:lam they worship c:ows which means c:ow is their g:od...

was it the north that told K:aduna Nzeogwu to do the below ( gotten from wi:ki ):

"According to a Nigerian Police Special Branch Report, Nzeogwu executed at least 4 army and police security personnel including one of the men on his team (Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke). Nzeogwu also participated in the execution of Col. Raph Shodeinde, his superior officer at the Nigerian Military Training College and is reported to have shot indiscriminately at fleeing women and children.."..

the statement above shows pure hatred for Yorubas and a lot of igbos all have this similar behavior towards Yorubas..

leicestercamper:
Anambra has far better infrastructure than enugu and imo states. Enugu for instance doesn't even have portable drinking water. So what do they need airport for?

Anambra is the most viable state in igboland and needs the airport more than every other state.

Today it is proven that the airport is the most viable in Nigeria aside Abuja and Lagos international airports.

So airports in enugu and imo should be closed immediately to save money.

Anambra has the best road networks and portable drinking water.

Obata osu!

The myths about Nzeogwu’s coup




Exactly 50 years that a group of young and idealistic soldiers attempted to bring about a revolution in Nigeria’s politics via the barrel of a gun. The coup, a first of its kind on our soil, marked the beginning of a chain of events that have shaped the social-political milieu of this nation.

The coup was said to have been planned and executed by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, although some allege that it was indeed the idea of another plotter by name Major Ifeanyi Arinze Ifeajuna. Nzeogwu’s role in the coup cannot, however, be diminished.

The putsch sought to bring sanity to the Nigerian political landscape, some sort of cleansing for the Augean stables. The new country which had been birthed in hope of a strong and virile nation for the black race was at that point mired in what many would call a downward spiral of catastrophes. The nation was surely adrift, as its leaders sought to engage each other in a macabre dance laden with ethnic tones. Corruption was rife, democracy then was subjected to the whims and caprices of the ruling class, or should I say the ruling NPC? The leader of the opposition, Obafemi Awolowo, had been arrested and jailed on trumped-up charges, his rival Samuel Akintola was rigged in as premier of the Western Region sparking the crisis known as “Operation Wetie”.

And so on January 15th, these patriots struck and the rest, as they say, is history. One thing led to another as there was a countercoup, two senseless pogroms and a civil war. All these events did have reverberations of the first coup which can be understood given the myths that were associated with it. These myths (or should I call them canards?) about the real intentions of these soldiers have been sold to us. The date, January the 15th, has been marked as a day which will live in infamy, with a number of persons made to suffer as the scapegoats of our history. This I intend to correct!

Myth 1: The coup was an Igbo coup

The fact that of the five leaders of the coup, four were of Igbo extraction does not make the coup of January 15th an Igbo coup. This argument stems from the fact that the ultimate aim of that coup was to release and install Obafemi Awolowo as prime minister. Surely, an Igbo coup would have rooted for a Nnamdi Azikiwe or a Michael Okpara as prime minister and not an Awolowo.

Myth 2: That the killings were lopsided


Within this thread, arguments would also arise that the within the victims of the coup, only one was of Igbo extraction, the rest were either of Northern or Western extraction. But history tells us that the likes of Ironsi, who foiled the coup in the South, and Ojukwu were targets too. Michael Okpara escaped simply because of the presence of Archbishop Makarios and though a number of persons might make light this argument, it will interest them to know that the coup had been scheduled a week earlier but the parties involved shelved it owing to the presence of foreign dignitaries attending the Commonwealth summit in Lagos then; a coup then would have cast Nigeria and the soldiers responsible in bad light.

Myth 3: That the coup brought about tribal hubris

On the subject of the coup bringing about tribal hubris in Nigeria, pray, what did the defection of legislators elected on the platform of the NCNC to Awo’s Action Group bring? Or what did the forceful removal of Eyo Ita as premier of the Eastern Region bring? Now as prominent Nigerians with knowledge of the coup have asserted, and as I have buttressed here, the coupists had plans of making Awolowo prime minister. I then wonder if there was also some form of tribal hubris in such a plan.

Let me also state that it will be most unfair for anyone to affix the puerile suspicion of Ndigbo by the rest of Nigeria on Nzeogwu and his coup since such a suspicion is as old as Nigeria itself and Nigeria did not begin in 1966. The tribal hubris question waves at Nzeogwu later fighting on the Biafran side. Nzeogwu, however, is not to blame. This is because Biafra was never a secessionist agenda in the mould of Moi Tshombe’s Katanga. Far from it, Biafra was the last line for the security of the people of then Eastern Region; Biafra then was justified following the countercoup and the two senseless pogroms.

Should Nzeogwu have pitched tent with the federal forces? Had Gowon whether as a usurper or leader shown enough leadership to the battered people of that region? The answer is no!

Without these myths Nzeogwu’s coup, like every other coup (except the July 29th, 1966 coup) in Nigeria, was largely justified. Any attempt at its revision will obviously be in bad faith.

Firstly, Awka to Enugu these days is more than an hour.
I would rather stay in my state than take a bus to Enugu or Owerri just because i want to fly.

Do you even know the stress involved in moving across state with luggage?
P
I escorted someone to Asaba airport for Anambra in a Tracas vehicle and the fee was 15-20k (not sure on the exact). So i definitely prefer an airport in my state.

It is normal this time of the year. The turnover will be reduced significantly from February. Moreover, owerri , Enugu and Asaba airports will
Start registering lower passenger turnover.. this is not growth, robbing Peter to pay Paul. 4 airports in very close proximity to each other. That space should be 2 airports at most.

Speaktruth88:
But FG is not doing anything in Igbo land. So na spirit airport and passengers be this.

State airport?

I disagree with you. You emphasised on moving across states as if it involves crossing very high walls. If not for bad roads and insecurity, that Anambra airport will he registering very poor turnover. If things are ok, Owerri airport is closer to Anambra south people and more accessible than the Anambra own. Onitsha traders are by far more closer to Asaba airport. These are the major users of airport from anambra state.
Those 4 airports are too close to each other, it shouldn't be so. In some countries, from Asaba to Anambra and to owerri are all a city, serviced by one airport. Here, we have 3 in same land space, none of the airports is even handling a 10th of traffic being handled by other airports.
If not for political pride, the airport would be termed a waste, a misplacement.
People are using the Umuleri airport because of the festivities. You will find out people will return to the Asaba and other airports in the city.

adamsmith914:
Narcotics trade, NDLEA can give you flight schedule itinerary.

Even Pablo Escobar built his own airport in Medellin.

If na so e easy why dem no do same from MMA.?
Be reasonable

Chai !!. I missed this thread when first published. Otherwise my Omata friend "Chino" who is now "leicestercamper" for hear am.


Anyway, the airport remains a bloody waste of public funds. Like somebody mentioned earlier it's just for "Bragging rights" and an avenue to loot.

It's become an airstrip for the Uba's and others to be landing their private jets. None of those planes that landed there had more than 50 passengers.

After the festive season, only motocycle and auto parts will be landing there. Cargo.

MelesZenawi:


There was never a time awka to Enugu was less than I hour. Awka to Enugu is approximately 2 hrs if not more.
.

Those days when we still have good roads in onitsha I always drive from...
Onitsha to Enugu na just 45 minutes
Akwa to Enugu was less than 40 minutes

Good Old Days

myright:


https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenationonlineng.net/new-anambra-airport-records-142-flights-3865-passengers-in-1-month/amp/

How can this be correct ?

started 7 Dec

Airpeace and united fly to Anambra once a day even if every day that is 30 days x 2 airlines =60 flights
Where did 142 come from ?

Even if it was 142 flights with 3865 passengers that is 27 passengers per flight

something does not add up here even God is Good has more passengers in one bus

after4:
this your comment is as useless as you. How anambra take get road pass enugu? you no get sense

Anambra has more roads than Enugu...

No two ways about it. Pains everywhere.

fuckyouropinion:


you will be surprised that guy is from Anambra and he made that comment.

He is from Enugu state not anambra.

okwadatigbogal:
Anambra people and creating bad blood wherever they go. Just look at the comments and understand why there will never be unity in igboland. Because of airport, some people are behaving like bush fowls and insulting everyone. Someone has even bragged that it's the best airport after Lagos and Abuja.. what a joke. They are the only set of people who brag about foolish things, something others have achieved and moved on quietly.
In the end, na una go still use your airport by yourself. This is the same attitude they brought to APGA. APGA could have become a party for the southeast just like APC in Southwest, but no other state wants to be associated with their gragra and mess. Insulting everyone and bragging like illiterates. If truly you travel by air, you should know that practically ALL flights were fully booked to the southeast including portharcourt and Asaba. it is christmas, people are coming back. It is not particular to the anambra airport

Continue crying, your cry just started. Una wey dey pdp and APC we done see how una dey fare...lol.

Everybody should mind their business.

michlins:
you should be the person who should calm down. I live in Anambra myself and the numbers above are ridiculous. I know sales people earning 15,000 monthly in Nkwo Nnewi.

Lie with ease.

Owerri airport is not anything closer to Anambra.

Owerri airport is somehow close to aba and very far from anambra.

You can tell this lies to someone who doesn't know where Owerri airport is situated.

Too many lies on social media. Meanwhile let Imo airport serve Imo people.

MIKOLOWISKA:


MMA is said to have 3000 passengers daily

Envious bitter frustrated wawa bastard. Anambra international airport has rendered your motorpark airport in enugu useless. This is just one month figure, brace up because your enugu motorpark airport will soon be closed down because all the commercial flights are now moving to Anambra. Even the airline that land in at enugu motorpark airport are own by Anambra people. Lol

This is just figure for one month but it is more than what your useless airport in enugu records for 6months. Anambra international airport has become the busiest in igboland. Cry

I knew you wawa bastards were bitter and envious over Anambra international airport but brace up as this is just the beginning of una frustration.

Anambra has built a worldclass international airport with the tallest control tower and longest runway in Nigeria.

Ezi ofia go and battle with ordinary water scarcity that's ravaging your backward useless worthless shithole enugu state. Most of enugu people haven't bath in a week. No one saw you on this thread to defend your useless enugu.

Your calculations are wrong.. Akwa to Enugu 2hours? It's less than that bro..Except you mean since the dilapidated road. And Anambra to Imo is never 2hours as well, although, it depends on which location..

MelesZenawi:


There was never a time awka to Enugu was less than I hour. Awka to Enugu is approximately 2 hrs if not more.

Anambra to Imo is over 2 hrs and not even to the airport that is another one hour journey.

Meanwhile look at the way you are partitioning the state and allotting to other states...what nonsense. In essence Ndi anambra must enter their state through another state....Anya adiro ghu mma.

Let Enugu people land in Enugu airport
Let Imo people land in Owerri airport and let anambra people land in anambra airport. Stop splitting the state to others.

The airport is unnecessary but the one is Enugu and Imo is necessary. All these foreign invaders sef.
