asha80: how do you know about their shares?

asha80: abia state(aba and environs) need this type of investment.

Unemadu: Hehe Abagworo u just dey shift goal post

spyder880: Bros, I also live in Port Harcout o

OreMI22: Alert!!!: Don't be deceived. This is not Abagworo, he is an imposter!
You are arguing with an abo.ki that likes to pretend he is Ikwerre. Be on the look out!

Unemadu: You got it wrong! Im not creating any false impresion

Im taliking about new constructions not the old roads

Any new road constructed in Asaba for instance has closed drainage

Even Lagos has caught on

Same with most south south states

U cannot tell me portharcourt has 100% covered drainage

Unemadu: o

But what is the rational behind building open drains in modern times

OkijaAmaka: YEA, if we will get the accurate census of Igbo cities and towns, we will first of all discard anything from hatefilled and tribalistic Nigeraia Government.

i think by landmass Enugwu is the biggest followed by Aba.

Onitsha is populated but the layouts and environs are very close to one another, then Asaba, Nnewi and Ekwulobia are there taking away its population, Onitsha has many towns to contend with but its populated.

I have not been to owerre wela shaa

Unemadu: Enugu got it wrong with this open drains nonsense. I mean i can forgive the old constructions but not the new ones. Open drains are so old school. This is one edge Asaba, Calabar, Uyo has over Enugu

spyder880: Presidential road roundabout , to Obiagu Enugu.

Radoillo: The Isu factor is (to me) one of the biggest enigmas in Igbo history.

It appears to me that Isu could have been an ethnonym for a large, ancient Igbo-speaking group that formerly occupied much of the northern section of what geographers call the Awka-Orlu uplands. A number of communities in this northern section of the uplands still bear 'Isu' in their names... Isu-Aniocha, Isuofia. I think there is also an Isulo (Isu-Ulo?) somewhere in Orumba area. Perhaps these represent surviving enclaves of a culture group that was formerly widespread in that area before the immigration of a different Igbo-speaking stock from the Anambra Basin colonized the area and pushed the Isu farther south. My hypothetical immigrants from the Anambra River Basin probably introduced the dialect strain which is now considered the 'stereotypical Anambra tongue' (with Ani/Ana for Ali/Ala and Ife for Ihe). The dialects spoken by the ancient Isu (going by evidence from the southern section of the Awka-Orlu uplands, i.e., Northern Imo State and Southern Anambra State) would have approximated what we would now consider as 'stereotypically Imo'.

In some Nnewi traditons there seems to be some remembrance of the conflict between the (hypothetical) 'Anambra-speaking' incoming groups and the Isu who seem to have preceded them in that area, and whose leaders were referred to in Nnewi traditions as Eze Isu. Even today the dialects spoken in that general area seem to be a cross between the stereotypical 'Anambra' and the stereotypical 'Imo'. According to some oral accounts, it was some of the Isu expelled from the Nnewi area that went west and established Igbuzo.

Perhaps it was the Isu who moved south that congregated in the Orlu section of the uplands and became the Isu-Ama. And I think Afigbo was right when he translated 'Ama' in this instance, not as 'centre/square/town', but as 'outside'. Thus Isu-Ama (according to Afigbo) means 'The Isu who have gone abroad'. Isu-Ama (in more historical times) would become a source of population pressure on the Southern Igbo groups.

This is all just a hypothesis pieced together from scant traditions and an imperfect understanding of dialects. But perhaps you guys from the Southern Igbo area who have been in more contact with the Isu in recent times than we in the north have been may have an enlightening perspective on this. This could be educating.

*Apologies if this post does agree with your intentions in creating this thread. I realize I may have gone off tangent.*

Radoillo: Is Mbaise reckoned as part of Isuama/ Isoma?

Ihuomadinihu: All views or perspectives are welcome. The study of the ISUS could probably reveal the true origin/identity of Igbos.
I found a controversial article written by Ndagi Abdullahi, which claims that Igbos originated from the Gara kingdom around the Niger-Benue valley....probably one of the many pseudo historians out there. I will post it later.

Bobbystanley: Anambra state has the worst Building constructing Engineers on planet earth.

Collapsed buildings aren't new things in Anambra.




Buildings collapsing in Anambra since Nigeria's Independence!

Faun: Imo State is far better and more developed than the pictures of the slums on this failure of a thread.
At least in Imo, there are functional street lights, well swept/marked roads, CITY MASTERPLANS, beautiful flower parks/gardens and signs that human being actually live there.
What have you been able to show us here except the glorified slum houses with questionable foundation?

brownlords: Fayose beat up a Judge, and APC killed someone,

How come liar muhammed din't address the issue of the guy killed?

millionaireman: Charty development? For example, govts in those states do not build today's urban roads with open gutters, with the hope that in the near future, another govt must damage the open gutters in order to build the modern and appropriate closed drainage gutters.
