Ndigbo have contributed positively by and large to the development of Lagos like other ethnic nations! Playing politics is one thing but coveting the assets of Ndigbo in Lagos is another thing! One good thing about Nnamdi kanu's IPOB is that he has created a huge Igbo online demography in virtually all social media! The story of Yoruba oppression is out and Ndigbo have taken "CAREFUL NOTE" of your shenanigans.......Igbos are fast learners too!!!
gidgiddy: To my fellow Igbos, I want to thank all of you who have started listening to what some of us have been shouting for years, to relocate a portion of your investments back home. Im into properties and I can see the impact our people are making by deciding to no longer buy or build houses where they are domiciled, but to do so in the East.
However, I want to sound a note of warning to our people in Lagos, the businessman, the trader, the artisan, the entrepreneur and those in private or public sector
Relocate at least 1/3 of your investments and savings back to the East!
Those who claim to own Lagos have told to your face that you are a visitor, in other words, you are a visitor in your own country. You have been disenfranchised, told you have no stake in Lagos and warned not to be part of the political process there. What more evidence do you need, to know that "one Nigeria" is a fraud?
Let the mentally slow Igbo people in Lagos continue to sleep......it is the stubborn fly that follows the corpse into the grave! I do not know whether they buried their birth placenta for Lagos! The older generation of wealthy ndigbo are even more circumspect than these younger ones.....that are forming 'One Nigeria' all over the place! Many older igbo business men bought houses in Enugu years ago.............I know one young Alaba market trader that has 3 houses in Lekki and 2 houses in okota............forgetting that Lagos state has one of the most sophisticated land registry in Africa! They know exactly who owns what in Lagos!!!
So our people need to treat Lagos as what it is, a "place of business", it is not home. Dont be discouraged by those who talk of insecurity in the East, the amount of killings, murders, armed robbery, thuggery, theft and other criminalities commited in Lagos alone is more than the rest of Southernern Nigeria combined
Do not wait until those who claim to own Lagos come one day to pursue you out before you know there is nothing like 'one Nigeria'. Act now and relocate your fall-back to the East
What bemusement is making them laugh this hard while prayers are on going,
Indeed their god is their stomach
I hope the country is in good hands o! After the infamy and Ignominy of Buhari's administration....anybody will do better! Buhari wasted 8 years and dragged Nigeria back 20 years!
Greetings Anambra1tSon........I have always agreed with nearly all your posts concerning Anambra but your attempt to defend the lacklustre performance of Soludo administration is not just disjointed but largely misguided as well! There is no doubt in my mind that Soludo lacks the managerial competence and leadership skills to pilot the affairs of Anambra,His administration has proven to be a "damp squib"......that is a "a wet knock-out firework".....Soludo will never "blow" !
It is time to begin the search for a competent,bold and visionary candidate that will deliver an Anambra of our dream! Soludo does not have the magic and he is surrounded by "theorists and paper tigers like himself.......how many of them can leave their cosy offices and tackle the touts they unleashed on the masses in onisha in the name of revenue generation! abeggg!
back2sender: Port Harcourt should have been named after a son from the south south. Thiw would have given more mileage!!!
The south south forever sucking up to yoruba and fulani interests.........it is good they have forced Awolowo on them but I do feel that Awolowo deserves to have a major regional airport named afrer him......Afterall Murtala airport is in Lagos and Azikiwe airport is in Abuja........equation balanced.
He sat comfortably in London and asking his Riffraffs in Nigeria to dey cannibalise Nigerians
o you wanted and desired that Kanu sits with arms crossed,while the so called fulani herdsmen went on an orgy of industrial scale massacre of Igbo citizens! o you know that hundreds of innocent men,women and children were killed in the south east including 4 catholic priests! Today you still have not posted nothing encouraging to the millions of middle belt xtians that have been sent packing from their ancestral homes!
BigIyanga: Nonsense . Igbo states are losing $bn to Delta via capital flight. All the biggest hotels in ASB are owned by mostly Anambra men.. none of the $$ was made in ASB.. all capital was imported in to ASB.. so Igbos are losing bigly
You talk like the moribund south east states were posting stellar performance before the sit at home...........carry your nonsense back into your own home! Do not be rude,I made a post,it is within your right to rebut my post not to exhibit infantile petulance!
FreeStuffsNG: It's from saharareporters to sahara. This is more reason for them to appreciate other Nigerians who give freedom to those fleeing the South East. Check my signature for free stuffs!
aya mma ! Have you been appointed minister of finance yet?
FreeStuffsNG: 80s started with Operation feed the nation, then war against indisisi and SAP now finished the decade with most parents out of job!
80s and 90s were military years and aluta of June 12 annulment! Even the Eyo Festival was not spared of fights and bloodshed in Lagos.
Real life of back to the drawing board progress started in the year 2000 and upwards. That is why Lagosians suffered the most and when we demand for respect and reciprocity from Igboland, give us o. We can not suffer double jeopardy of having visitors cheat us by keeping their own 100% from us after all we went through to build , defend and revive our city to a place that welcome them in droves today.
God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. God bless him for the renaissance of our city under his leadership. Col. Marwa tried too but too much filth , bomb blasts, OPC/ Hausa war and assassination of our Yoruba leaders remain a blight on his tenure.
so you do not even remember the days of 1979 election! UPN and NPP.........with their danfo campaign vehicles! even before then the days of the Igbo Lagos military Governors.....Cppmander Kanu and Captain Ukiwe, say what you want about Obasanjo,you simply cannot take away his true nationalistic disposition,he was the one that appointed those solid Igbo men to Govern Lagos!!...wonderful Yoruba man!!! As for Freestuff I do not blame you,you are just an immature man....so you do not even know of the days of Mobolaji johnsonas Governor of Lagos ...chai see the babies I am contending with on Nairaland!
Christistruth03: As if Ipob has not Already sent it's men out to kill themselves
IPOB that gave a 17 year old boy in Imo a gun and told him to attack and kill Police
Thank Almighty God that the Police had Mercy on him and Captured him alive
Is Kanu not begging everyone for his own life as we speak
Kanu sef no want die
What you want is for the Nigerian security forces to turn unarmed IPOB members into canon fodder and target practice for those who passionately hate Ndigbo for no other reason aside unmitigated envy! The condition you want ndigbo to be in is the condition hapless middle belt xtians are in today..........they are like ileya rams,waiting to be slaugthered by your partners the fulani hordes! To your surprise the once timid and docile Igbo populace rose up to defend their lands.......You simply cannot fathom Ndigbo standing toe to toe with their opressors...........Bros we are the great Igbo race .......UmuGad !!......! the seed of Eri and Arodi !!! You do not know the people you are dealing with......Go and read the blessings conferred on Gad by his father Jacob!
Christistruth03: It is because Ipob and Simon Ekpa have used their useless Monday Lockdowns to Chase industry and Businesses out of the SE
Asaba is far safer for them
Mandela's ANC used sit at home to peacefully agitate against apartheid.........do you want IPOB to use suicide bombers to agitate? The southeast governors should meet and go tell Tinubu to release nnamdi kanu that has been discharged by the appeal court! Stop supporting the evil work of a parochial Buhari administration!!
ANSMEDIA: Projects are ongoing almost everywhere in Anambra. The good thing about Soludo taking on almost all the projects at once is that it will be overall brand new statewide all at once.
Just watch !!!! It is hard to feel optimistic about Soludo's performance after visiting Anambra! I visited Anambra last summer and my visit to Awka and Onitsha were the lowest points of my summer vacation! I got some encouragement before the election in March but for some reason the soludo admin seem to have gone back to sleep! He seems to be micro managing his admin to the detriment of the whole state....who is his sanitation czar? who is his points man for works and housing? He should know that Ndi anambra are very emotional and perceptive lot, people feel that soludo considers his Anambra role as just a stepping stone for his badly hidden presidential ambition! He should set up a strong Public works department and a strong environmental sanitation agency.........all these 2 km road contracts awarded for 1 billion naira will not lead us anywhere o!
abuzz33: Kenya gets around a million wealthy European and Asian tourists because of their easy climate and their pristine natural environment (they did advantages. Things our people are already doing that has global connections.
For example, Anambra is known as a place of trade. There are over 18 markets in Onitsha. Yet there is absolutely no policy for growing the place as a trade hub in Nigeria. What do I mean? Every single one of those markets in Onitsha are PRIMITIVE and UNPLANNED. The organization from not eat all their zebra and kill all their lions and elephants). There are also between 50,000 Oyibos living in Nairobi working for the UN (who has its regional headquarters there). It has no comparison with Nigeria talk less Anambra state. For Anambra we need to build on existing their "committees" is made up of people as backward as them. Many do not have adequate parking, no organized warehousing, no conveniences, no food court area, no central electrical supply or water system, bad roads, no signage, no marketing, trailers and trucks clogging the roads. Their shops are not even online. Thats called low-hanging fruit for a serious government. You identify markets with great intra-state trade and you organize, expand and revamp them. You make it easy for people from around Nigeria to come shop and leave safely or to have goods delivered to them. Nigeria imports over $30 billion worth of goods, a trade hub in Anambra with retail value add of 50% can easily be pushing 20% of that or around $9 billion with government getting VAT revenue.
The second thing Anambra is known for is education. There are already a number of schools, universities in the state. The state government needs to have a policy on the education sector to maintain standards, improve quality and promote the state externally to increase investment in schools and related areas (books, uniforms, classroom furniture and equipment, accomodation). The UK promotes its boarding schools everywhere and now its universities. Anambra should do the same. The demand for quality education in Nigeria is high.
Thirdly Anambra is known for industry. Obi established the brewery and assisted Innoson to scale and Obiano helped launch the footwear industry at Oba and Rice mills. There needs to be a lot more targeted investment in industry. Things that can substitute for Chinese imports. Again for a clue to what is possible one only needs to go to Onitsha to see what is happening there. To me, three areas that the government needs to focus on for scale in manufacturing are clothing and garments, building materials and agroprocessing. Like Lagos that partnered with a Singaporean investor they need to partner and establish proper industrial layouts with power, roads, warehouses, security, access to transport routes. incentives such as tax-free zones.
Soludo has been impressive in his inability to articulate a single policy initiative, he seems to have his hand in every soup pot! I am begining to doubt the competence of his team and cabinet! Peter Obi never failed to mention his policy focus...millenium development goals.......and he was just a trader o! Obi really tried sha!
God1000: Putin has been finally humbled and humiliated, this will surely go down in history.
He wanted this kind of chaos in America under stupid Donald trump, now it's happening to him.
With Wagner pulling out of Ukraine, it's over for Russia, I don't see how a poorly trained and inexperienced Putin's boys will continue to defend Bakhmut and other cities Wagner forces captured for them
Wagner have been drafted to Bolgrod the Russian border town near Kharkiv Oblast.........Bros read wider and broader!
You can't make an omelette without breaking an egg. We all have to understand this.
We will be fine.
God bless Nigeria.
God bless the lion of bourdillion.
God bless the NW, NE, NC, SW, SS and the Middlebelt
The hatred in some of you will even embarrass Satan himself......on Sunday this one will still go to church to praise and worship God! No wonder that country never makes progress! Do not worry Tinubu will make you a billionaire!
2mch: You are the one fighting for one Nigeria and blaming or lying that others are preventing you from leaving. Go home and fight for Biafra in a sane way. Not by raising UGM and IPOB to kill innocent Igbo’s. No one is holding you in Nigeria, but Igbos who know Biafra is a death sentence.
Yes.......the same UGM that Security agents have used to no ends in instigating violence in Igboland! I sometimes blame IPOB for being naive in critical times! The government almost succeeded in running them street sef!
mdimefields: Nigerian political scene is really interesting. Not quiet long, Asari Dokubo accused the military of oil theft in the Niger Delta before the entire world, using a press conference, in a venue that is exclusively reserved for the Commander in Chief. Regardless the weak rebuttal from both the Army and Navy, one will not expect everything to just go down without some show of drama. Less than three days later, a video of Asari Dokubo brandishing a weapon and threatening to wipe out the Igbo nation surfaced online. Take a moment and observe the timing. That video was done last year, during the heat of the electoral campaign, last year. Check the date and verify. Why did it suddenly resurfaced online again? Why Now? what is the purpose? It's simple, to stoke up ethnic tension, using the Igbo as a smoke screen, while they strike from behind. This is my personal deduction to the whole charade. There could be some very aggrieved fellows who could be angling for vengeance, but wouldn't want to do so because of the consequences or possible backlash. Remember, Asari has Presidential backing now. He is 100 percent backed by the government. Watch that his press conference again, observe the insignia behind him, it was a complete authorized and signed by the powers, press conference. So, these individuals knowing if they strike, all fingers will be pointed at them, had to activate plan B by resurfacing an old video and trending it again. Once the Igbos are roped in a feud with Asari, then they can strike, without trace, and then all eyes will be on Igbos. Remember how they eliminated Adaka Boro, then pin it on Biafrans. Till date, the average Ijawman believes Adaka Boro was killed by Igbos. My suggestion to Igbos, please, Ignore Asari Dokubo. Let him rant on. Don't get yourself embroiled in a battle planned and prepared by your enemies. Whoever that is trending that video is an enemy to ndi Igbo. This is the reality. Whatever that will obliterate ndi Igbo and make them more hated is a living sacrifice to this people. They love it and desire it so much. We should be smart to avoid unnecessary baiting. Sometimes, we act like we are deaf, just to stay focus. The objective is the Tribunal. As for Asari, his time will come. Any man that plays god on earth always have his time. Nebuchadnezzar, Hitler, Mussolini, Napoleon, etc, were men that played god, but when the heavens remembered them, their judgment was swift and precise. Let him keep insulting Igbos and claiming super man , when his time comes, he will go like a mere mortal that he is, the sure way of every human on this planet. Leave him to nature, so it takes it's course. Igbos, avoid online banter. It is for our own good.
Very perceptive observation! I wish the leadership of IPOB had your nuanced views on happenings in the geopolitical space called Nigeria...especially under Nnamdi Kanu, it is not every battle is worthy of prosecution ! Our adversaries are very sly and are ardent users of guile,smoke and mirrors to get what they want.........especially Ndiyoruba! The whole unknown gunmen issue in south east is about wresting control of Imo state”s abundant oil and gas deposits..........especially gas!
I want you to kill yourself fighting for your fake biafra
fighting for fake Biafra because men like you sought it fit to defend their wives,daughters and mothers from ravagibg bandits from the sahel ! you want us to be dying like the hapless middle belt xtians...............waiting and praying for miracle from heaven to rescue innocent igbo folks from the hands pf the nomadic sahelians.............you should know that Ndigbo no be middle belt nah!!
pandax: Having the sports facilities and academies as you stated is good (Soludo will develop park B of Awka Stadium to have the facilities you mentioned), but we also need to make sure that Anambra is livable by investing more in other leisure activities, aside from sports facilities. The idea of Anambra being a transit state have to stop, we need to attract our populations east, north and southwards of Onitsha and not west wards.
The only issue i have with the project is that a similar project(Agulu Leisure Park) is less than 10km away from the site of current project. I expect the state to plan similar or even better Leisure Park on the bank of River Niger or a point between Onitsha and Nnewi.
We Anambrarians continue to underestimate the earning power of the hospitality and tourism industry................see how years of dedicated investment in Tourism and travel has transformed Kenya's capital city Nairobi! yet we have miles of Rivers Niger and Omambala that we can build a resort city for travel and living!
Oya.......the "leave our Lagos clueless crew" make una waka come see Nairobi Your mate! You people are heavily deluded!
The Lord of the Universe is a JUST GOD, he will always look at the intent of a man's heart before giving him his worthy dues! Ndigbo are Isrealites of the Bible.......so if you Bless dem you will reap the rewards If you curse dem.......get ready and stretch out your arms and collect woto woto............Go and ask the parties that conspired to kill millions of innocent Biafrans, where are they today? Yorubas had better not break the hedge for their own sake!
DSoj: I thought ipob boasted that they will relocate Alaba to the East. The same people castigating the LASG were the ones saying those people must move to the East in an arrogant hope that Lagos economy will crumble.
I do not care if its electoral vengeance or not but if it is, it serves them right. They were the ones shouting Sanwo Olu must go, they promised to win Lagos for Obi and Gbadebo. They claimed Lagos is no man's land, at a point they claimed they built Lagos. After all what Tinubu did for them.
They should have done their political jingoism quietly, it's their right but rubbing it in the face of the people that have been perfect host to you, they can go to hell.
Oga go and sit down Abeg! You talk like Lagos is Las Vegas! Our people reserve the right to live in Nigeria so far you dyed in the wool one nigerianists hold on to the union for dear life! If you like expropriate our property via high taxes,you are doing yourself...the international investment community are watching CAREFULLY!!
Oga...Onitsha is booming so much so that Asaba has falling into the sphere of economic influence of Onitsha! The instability that you guys instigated in southeast has dissipated and the hostile forces have been chased back into the creeks and sahelian regions from whence they came!
