@ , those were lovely pics from Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium.

oh, you're right! upon looking at them the one in Enugu isn't that big or colorful, my apologies i was misinformed.

I passed thru Albertina/MFM today. The bridge and dual road construction is in serious progress. The dust on that road sha is heavy.
When would that project be thru? With their pace i'm putting their LFT August 2013. Is it feasible?

That picture of the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium in Enugu was during the under 17 world cup some years back. I wish they could pull that much crowd during Enugu rangers home games.

they are really on a snail pace

spyder880: I think its time our Eze on this forum says something to all these people diverting attention from my work in this thread. Eze, my respects, iga ano n' ulo ewu amuo nwa na eriri?

There is a limit to the level one can take provocation.

Oga spyder880, you fail my hand my brother. Is this the first time we've dealt with these types of issues on Nairaland? Even earlier in this thread, the issue cropped up. lol. Just ignore it.
Should we all be intimidated by personal views of individuals (some of which are very baseless)? Who in Igboland doesn't know that Enugu CITY (not the state BTW) -which this thread is really dedicated to -is our collective (Igbo or even Eastern) heritage, just as is ONITSHA, ABA and OWERRI? It is self explanatory: ENUGU CITY IS THE PRIDE OF THE EAST. If it will make some of these guys feel better, each person can plug his own town into the "variable" (to use a computer programming term), in this case the city itself, which can even be Awomamma in Imo state. To all baseless critics I say repeat after me, " "variable" (which is your town) is the pride of the East". Okwu agwu!

Please let's all calm down and celebrate a beautiful city given to us by God, which we are all jointly building (any Igbo who does not own a property in Enugu is yet to "arrive" ) . Let's all pray that current governor Sullivan Chime continues to do a great job for this city, and that the city will continue to make us all proud.
BTW I pray that other governors of towns which we all build together borrow a leaf from Chime to develop infrastructure which makes it attractive for us to go there and build.

Anybody who doesn't like my stand on this should wait for the next Eze who is just a little over one month away.

lots of fools here indeed. if Enugu is a mirage, show us then the reality that is your own state.

Bunch of overgrown !diots who have no idea how stup!d they sound.

Fact remains,Enugu is ahead and the rest are playing catch up.

Enugu is the pride of the East and Igbos. Don't like it? Off yourself.

Umu enwe.

With all due respect to your position which I Nri Priest played and integral role to bring you to and keep motivating and encouraging you I will emphatically say that you all WRONG ! Chime is working on the foundation that the past governors of Enugu has built while Obi is setting Anambra up for a greater height. You have started to compromise your identity because of your position here and that's not good for your image. I don't think you have been well educated on the condition of Anambra governance before Obi took over. There was absolutely no signs of government presence before Obi came in. We need to cut this man some slack. Anambra was created in '91 from the old Anambra and everything went to Enugu being the state capital. The fired all Anambra civil servants and left them with nothing. So much for the Igbo unity!

I reiterate, you are a big fool with no substance. Just enough empty boasts and chest beating to go around.

How exactly you want to drive your points home without being able to spell baffles me. I engage only smart peeps worthy of my attention not !diots like you.

Now run along retard and come back when you can live up to your threats.

Its ok now. No fighting anymore. Lets play some jokes now. All these people you mention are great ibo men. They represent the ibo nation as a whole. But all are living in Enugu right? Excluding Mikel. Its play time though. We don't need quarel here plz my brothers.

If you are living in Anambra, plz post pictures of current projects. I will be there soon. Am not in east though but i love to settle anywhere in east and feel free as air. But i ask my brother spyder to do me one more mercy and go to the international airport to take new pictures there. But take it codedly to avoid arrest. Do as if you are going to book arik airline. Hold your camera on your left hand. Do look at you camera. Just take anything you see and take many pix. I am waiting with great eagerness to see if i could fly direct soon.

...and where are 80 percent of them living or raising their kids. Piggy backing off other people's name or achievement is so 1980s.

Look, nobody has got any beef with anambra peeps. They are just there doing their thing while we are also doing ours. They are no more important to us than say Ebonyi, Abia, Imo or even Lagos state but anambra people have got to start learning how to respect other people because ain't nobody seeing them.

The era of empty boasts and mentioning dubious millionaires are long gone and people are smarter now and more outspoken and can easily see through all those bullsh!t now.

Maybe others might shy away from countering those fallacies but not me. I am Bandit C. and I bring it to any body's doorstep unrepentantly.

Enugu people cannot be intimidated anymore period.

Somethings are left unsaid.....But dont forget i am from Anambra and that alone should send fear down your spine. I dont wanna insult the whole Enugu but just wanted to correct a false impression. What will i achieve by engaging you in e-fight? Dude,go do something meaningful with your life. And if you wanna continue this we should start with the list of projects Chime's government has brought to Enugu and compare them with what Obi has brought to Anambra. Again,Enugu is not the pride of the east and can never be! A state with zero human resources....nonsense!

@james ibor
You realy captured all the heavy weight champions of Igboland to be from Anambra state lol

But,again,this is not we are discussing....

We all need to love one another bcause Igboland is too small to be divided by tribal line.

Keep insulting yourselves on this forum. Enugu is livable and most successful Anambrians live in Enugu more than Anambra because they are same people and consider Anambra as a place to hustle and Enugu as a place to relax.

The list is unnecessary. As an Anambrarian, I feel so ashamed of your action. If not for the cooperation of other Ndigbo, would Zik, Ojukwu, Ekwueme have achieved much? We all need each other to progress. We should not play this politics against our fellow Umuigbo. I feel so ashamed to boast with someones achievement.

Odi ka oge mga ejii pua na threadia e rugo

The supremacist abnormality and inability to control emotions is why i have issues with Nri Priest, Chino and Okija Juju when it comes to Igbo matters,. When it comes to the political development and beautiful environment, Enugu State is the pride of the East. When it comes to educational development and tourism, Imo State is the pride of the East. When it comes to manufacturing, Abia State is the pride of the east. When it comes to commerce and trade, Anambra State is the pride of the East. When it comes to agriculture and solid minerals, Ebonyi State is the Pride of the East. LET IT BE MADE KNOWN THAT NO IGBO STATE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER BUT WE INDIVIDUAL HAVE SECTORS THAT ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHERS. ENUGU IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT TO ANY IGBO STATE BUT HAVE AREAS IT DOES BETTER THAN OTHERS. Pls all uninformed supremacist hawks should keep off from this thread and any Igbo thread. Udo diri Ndi Igbo. Isee !!!

NRI PRIEST:

Somethings are left unsaid.....But dont forget i am from Anambra and that alone should send fear down your spine.

Are you not ahsmed to utter the bolded. Don't you feel like a foool just reading the rubbish you just spewed. At times i wonder whether some of you were born in a motor park. Can't you live and let others live? You guys have been the only Igbos causing trouble on this forum. If you're not insulting Abia, it's Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi. Do you think you're better than other people. It's your boastful nature that will lead you to your grave. Bastarred. Anambra boasts of the mkost succesful and recognized Igbos worldwide and nobody is disputing that but when it comes to the livability in the SE, give it to Enugu. I wonder why it's paining you guys considering the fact that a lot of Anambrarians contributed towards what Enugu is today. Do you think if Enugu was left to just Nkanu people, they would have achieved this much? Tufikwa gi.

Nah mate, you can only send chills down your own wrecked spines.

I am more than a match for you and can take you all head on.

Some of you anambra peeps are simply annoying on these boards and need to be called out, and that is my pleasure to do.

For more than 58 pages of this wonderfully crafted and presented thread, you lot have been bickering here and there, staggering all over this thread like a wounded lion for something as flimsy as it's title because your worthless ego has been hurt.

In all these, people have begged you touts over and over not to derail the thread and if you so desire, open your own thread and name it whatever the hell you like but you refused.

To you !diots, it goes, how dare Enugu, be ndi wawa, in your usual condescending tones declare their home state the pride of the east? common wawa kwa? Did I get that correct?

Well, I have had it up to here and would like to remind you peeps that you are trash and that for now, Enugu remains the pride of the east.

We have zero human resources but we have come quite a distance with our "zero" human resources.

How are you guys fairing with your millions of human resources over there mate?

Do not make me laugh. Bloody natural born haters.

Lolllllll, what did I read from Morenike and Bittyend? I'm Crayola and Onila? I actually think Londoner, Crayola and I sound and think alike. Must be an Igbo girl thing. No iota of razzness, just impeccable class. So it isn't farfetched to assume such. But, Onila of all people? You think I'm you and Onila's age/playmate?
So Morenike you can't say it to my face, you're hiding in an over-50 paged thread, where there's a possibility of me not seeing it?

Can d moderators please clean up this thread.

Like who and who did such or you are just peddling hateful rumours just because you find it difficult to achieve what they have achieved. There is nothing like "money rituals" but hardwork and business acumen,which you probably don't have. Lazy and weak fellows think like that because they are jealous and can't achieve what the people they accuse of money ritual has achieved. Get up from your lazy a..ss and go to work, or else you will die a wretched loser. Stop hating and hail the Igbo with guts!

Got you there, no money rituals no superior Igbos, there are still very dirty poor peeps in Omanbala and very rich and pretty Ebonyi citizens. Your superiority is a fallacy bestowed on you by your elders and you are now crying because other igbo states are overtaking you.
