You guys in Nenwe has given a bribe to Sullivan

The new road to Mgbowo is on the right from the express, the new road to Oduma side goes in through Nenwe town on the left of the express and still another new road through the village (pictured today) You guys are lucky man.

i thought the nemwe-oduma road is a fg road being handled by setraco that was awarded late last year(ekwermadu's influence)?

Sam Milla:

You and afam are both right.
Amechi people from Eke otu area down to obuegu and on call it Nya. Thats is where they get their sands for building.
My town Ihe up to Agbogugu and Ituku call it Nyaba. Meanwhile i want to know where the river joined abia state.

Atavo River(1.2km from 4corner juction)joined and flows with Nyaba River towards Amagunze/Ihuokpara area into Abia state. Or perhaps the area after Amagunze could be in present Ebonyi state. What i know is that it passes Amagunze which is a border town in Enugu state.

Where did this Atavo river cross the major road?

I ruled out 4 corners - udi hill. Ruled out 4corners- awgu route. Ruled out 4corners - agbani route. That leaves us with 4 corners - Garriki route.. I guess its the small river you meet before nyaba bridge. Where did the two rivers join?

Bro, it's not a small river as one might think . If you see the powerful current of Atavo during raining season, you will know why it has over decades consumed many lives especially in Southern Nkanu. Some families have also fallen victim to its ravaging floods as well. Atavo gave my home town Akpugo its unique demarcation of Ndiagu and Ndiuno Akpugo, as it runs through the middle of the town on its way to Amagunze. I made a mistake yesterday, Nyaba River joined with Asata River(Nike people call it Ekulu River), not with Atavo River. This joining happened in a place between Obodoo Nike(a big farmland near Eke Obinagu) community and Onichagu- Akpugo. I think the two rivers joining created the biggest freshwater lake in the state sandwiched between Amechi-Idodo, Ubahu and Akpawfu communities in the newly Nkanu East. All these rivers play a big role in our ecosystem. Virtually all the bushmeat consumed in Enugu is supplied by forests and bush farmlands that stretch around those rivers.

All those powerful rivers also play a role in religious belief of Ndigbo. From Asu(Esuu) River at Agbani to Nyaba, shrines were established by many communities to pay respect and offer sacrifices to the different water goddesses inhabiting those rivers.Even some children in Nkanu communities were either dedicated or named after these rivers. In Southern Nkanu, it's not unusual to hear people named 'Nwa Atavo, Nwa Esuu, Nwa Nyaba etc. Whether river worship impacted positively in Igbo culture or not is a different matter.

I wish that Enugu state government opens those great rivers/lakes treasures scattered across the state by constructing good road network to those places. From Adada to Oji Rivers, amongst others; a trip to Akuke will avail one a multi-billion dollars treasure donated to the state by nature. The scenery there is breath-taking; that place could offer Enugu state a Palma de Mallorca(Spanish tourism Havens) kind of a tourist resort. The lake i mentioned earlier is another goldmine. School children should be encouraged to tour those important rivers and lakes. It's a shame that many of us know Lagos more than our home state.

Nightshift: It's called Nyaba River. It joined Atavo River which runs through some communities in Nkanu, extending into Abia State . There is another one called Aruga by Akwunanaw clans.

I think it's Nyama and not Nyaba like you suggested. I know the area well.

spyder880: I never thought this road will be done in my lifetime. But whatever touched them to reach this point should please urge them to get to my village at Nomeh Unateze, a mere 2 kilometers away, somebody should please help me tell Sullivan.

You are from Nomeh? Chai! You lots need urgent help,the state of the road in Nomeh was very bad,the last time i went there,Sulli nwamama should do and come back,more work is needed.

Now you are correct cos i know Nyaba stretched down to Nike/Ekulu area.

Enjoying this thread....As Nwa 042. Here are a few pics of mine of the Coal City starting with Ebeano Tunnel by Chimaroke ( I'm still wondering if this is the best he could offer his people after spending many years living in the US before becoming State Governor )

To be fair to Chimaroke, he performed above average, maybe not up to Sullivan but he still tried. Aside that tunnel crossing which was a brilliant virgin idea, Chimaroke should be commended for decongesting Enugu urban and pushing development into rural areas.
Of special importance is the relocation of ESUT to Agbani, this move removed thousands of students from Enugu urban and freed flats and hostels for poor families. Chimaroke developed satelite towns like new GRA, Independence layout phase2 and other places. Chimaroke built the ultra modern ESUT teaching hospital (Parklane) and brought the Law school to Agbani.
Chimaroke re energized Enugu politics by introducing brilliant young men into the center of activities, he chose erudite young men of high intelligence to run things, see the list of Chimaroke boys, Ekweremmadu, Frank Nweke jr, Ken Nnamani, Sullivan, Ayogu Eze, Dan Sherre, etc.
Chimaroke has so many negative sides, he overheated the polity with his numerous fights with notable politcians and Men of God. Lastly, Chimarake discovered Sullivan for us

Doing local stuff under the mango tree at Nkwoagu Udi, pammy things

It does not hurt to chew one hand of "nchi" and some other bush meat as you drink your pammy

The increasing number of European tourists that come in to drag this local pammy with us might soon hike the price! These people should be paying higher, so as to discourage them from hijacking our local drinks

spyder880: It does not hurt to chew one hand of "nchi" and some other bush meat as you drink your pammy

No envy, but i wish i can equally do same in my Nike joint soon. Looking forward to storming Coal City soon. Enjoy!!

What does Sherre mean? Is it an Igbo or English name? I know Dan sherre is from Nsukka zone.
