ekt_bear: What on earth does this thread have to do with Igbos?

I swear to God, the way some of you reason brainlessly makes me angry.

What the hell does Anambra vs Abia thred has to do with Yoruba?

Me_Aboki: ^^^LOL, no problem; but in the mean time while you are still enjoying Kainji power you guys must be ready pay us our 13% derivation.

he he he
Remember that Kainji dam is a hydro power source. In essence, can be listed as an offshore asset(since it's not located on land) . Therefore no one can lay claim to it as far we are in one country.
Therefore, 13% derivation is debatable.

Abagworo: Port Harcourt airport is there already, why the need for Enugu when Port Harcourt is easily accessible for most people?

Haba! Why why talk like this now. What is wrong with Enugu having an International Airport.

Let me rephrase your question.
Why the need for Port Harcourt when Enugu is easily accessible for most people?

NRI PRIEST: Chino nwanne,biko dont find what the Ezeigbo said to be offensive but as a way to prevent unnescessary animosity between brothers. You are a true son of your father and Anambra love you too just like you love her. I dont see anything wrong in defending your state but we must not forget that na "ofu onye sielu ora nni fa elisia ya mana ora sielu of onye oma elisi nni afu". Lets keep calm and act like we dont know how some people feel about us. I chose not to discuss somethings here just because of what people might say regarding my state of origin. Hapu fa maka na ubosi nta ayi ga achu na owelle nchi.

May God bless the womb that nourished you for 9months for this good-natured advice.

Me_Aboki: Kai, see how some people are enjoying oo: To best of my knowledge no area in my state (Kano) enjoys 18 hours of power; in consequence most of our factories and industries have been forced to close down. In my area (also in the G.R.A.)we are lucky to have 1-3 hours every two other days or so, our light bulbs serve only as decorations but for the few of us who can still afford fuel for our generators, in fact my car boot is perpetually laden-ed with fuel jerrycans.

So this is how you people in the South have all along been enjoying our Kainji generated power from the North; while we in the North are being kept in almost total darkness - and yet, you are still complaining, na wa oo .
Well, enjoy it while you can (anyway, na una broda dey Aso Rock); but soon we too will have to start our own campaign for resource control (yes,50%) so make una dey ready to pay more for future Northern generated electricity

No probs bro, remeber that we have the option of coal(remember Coal City) and hydro(remember that river Niger flows through our region too). Besides we have a sizeable deposits of natural gas in some southeastern states. So we can easily switch source.

Don't shout marginalisation yet because it's only some parts of Enugu that enjoys that prolonged hour of power supply. It's a diffrent story in some other parts. Moreover the power situation is very bad in southeast in general. If you doubt me, seek for the opinion of Onitsha, Aba or Umuahia residents

jbaur24: o


Must you always say something just to make yourselve feel better, even when goats and cows knows that you are talking jargons and gibberish. The only Fed uni comparable to the great Ziks University (NAU) in the entire east is only UNN.

Infact its amazing the level of academic and infrastructural development in that citadel UNIZIK within a short time. You can't even begin to mention the likes FUTO and so on, alongside NAU and UNN, its an insult to the pschye of the people of this great country. Apart from federal grants, Anambrans are pumping personal funds into the university in making it a world class. Anambrans as Ekwueme, Soludo, Andy Uba, Coscharis, Oby Okoli of Emzor, Juhel pharm, May & Baker, Emeka Offor are some of the numerous Anambrans that sunk their millions into UNIZIK. Its not a child's play at the level of development in the school.

At best FUTO can be compared to Federal Poly Oko, Fed Poly Bida, ofcos you need to go to Fed Poly Oko to be able to appreciate what is on the ground. As for ANSU, its a purely new university, which from all indications, are building their massive perm site at Igbariam near the Refinery site in Anambra.
http://www.anambrastate.gov.ng/press-release.html

In all this your braggadacio atitude of yours, you never mentioned your own state university to prove some points. Till today your state does not have a state nor federal university/teaching hospital just like Anambra and Enugu respectively.

Boy, I will always advise that you get your info correctly before you unleash garbage in the name of contributing to NL.

I thought that you are from Akwa Ibom?

Then, why are u poking nose into another states affair?

Are u done solving the problems in your state?

OR are u one of those with online multiple personality disorder?

Abeg face your front joor. No swallow panadol for our migraine.

Nnenna1: Chino and Roadstar please if u're also going to join in this sleazefest keep Anambra folks out of it and restrict the comparisons to yourselves/families.

Nwa Ada daalu!

Ejine, Abagworo, and others should bear in mind that Chino does not speak for us Anambrarians. We condemn and disown his unguarded utterances. He's completely on his own, and any attack should be directed at him

afam4eva: @Roadstar

It's such boasting that makes other Igbo people(Abagworo) to attack Anambra. While i think the people that Anambra state has produced are the very best in the country, i also think it's an insult to say that they're better than other south-eastern states put together. Let's learn to show respect so that it will be reciprocated.

Word

Respect is a two-way street, if you want to get it, you've got to give it.

afam4eva: I don't stay in Enugu. What i meant is that i'm from Uwani area.

ok

Good to know that some of my favourite posters like Afam4Eva, OneNaira, Bashr stays in Enugu. I thought that I'm lonely here.

My area in GRA used to have light for 18hrs of the day. But since the Kainji dam issues came up, it has dropped to 8hrs of the day. The most painful one is the prolonged power outage in the night. Especially now that the weather is so hot. It's been a regular occurence for 1week running.

Ejiné: this is a state that doesn't even have an airport; doesn't even have a reputable state university (ANSU is a freaking midget when compared to ABSU); doesn't even have a reputable federal university (UniZik is an artisan kiosk when pitted against Imo's FUTO or Enugu's UNN); this is a state that ranks to nothing when it comes to Polytechnics (Imo's Poly Nekede scatters it);

Oh God! When will my brothers be wise?
You are quoting a reknowned yoruba tribalist. This comparison wont get us anywhere. What do u stand to gain in this debate? SMDH

FACE: I posted aerial views of the industrial layouts a while ago so I will not post them again

You and Abagworo were able to provide th satelite picture of Aba. Why can't u provide the satelite picture of Onitsha and its environs too.
But pls we don't want to enter this debate that you guys are dragging us to. Brothers, Y-O-U W-O-N-T L-I-K-E I-T-S O-U-T-C-O-M-E! All of us will lose.
I've been pleading with Abagworo to stop these childish comparison. But he wont listen. Till Okija_juju gave him a serious beat down. Now he wants to push his luck further here.
BTW, both cities are unique Igbo cities that are the livewires of both states. It will be a mistake if we tear down those cities in a bid to win an online debate.
I'm proud of the resilience of the people that makes those cities thick

emindu: abia state is more better than anambra state. in terms of development and good roads.

Abagworo: An intelligent man does not brag even if he actually does have an edge but empty barrels make the loudest noise. Notice that I have used only facts and not assertions in my arguments and I am yet to steep so low to the level of addressing individuals negatively. Kindly show us information that will prove that Anambra is ahead of Abia and stop attacking my personality.

Dude, you are the one bragging here. You have already bragged in Awka thread that you have amassed $3M in your 29yrs sojourn on earth(supporting the inferiority complex theory of Nri Priest and Chino). We choose not to engage you so as not to hurt the feeling of our Imo and Abia brethrens. But you misunderstood it as a sign that we have no evidence to support our assertions. Well, we'll continue to hold fire, 'cause we can't cut of the neck because of the sins of the ear.

ekt_bear: What nefariousness can there be from one learning that Aba and Abia are not as insignificant as some make it seem?

How does this serve an ulterior motive?

Look, if you like, kindly ignore my posts. The point of this is for my own knowledge...I could care less what impact it has on you and the rest of ya'll.

Perhaps you should suggest to Seun an ignore list that will allow you to ignore the posts of certain folk (including "tribalists" such as myself), if that will reduce your stress.

Pls can you quote any Igbo poster that mentioned overtly or covertly that Aba is insignificant OR you forever SHUT UP!

Okija_juju: BULLSHIT!!

City Planning ; Lets start from Borokiri in Port-Harcourt, to Old-Gra (emphasis on Old), to D-line, to Odili road Trans-Amadi to Forces Avenue. These places are PORT-HARCOURT technically speaking and Owerri dosent even come close when compared directly to "PORT_HARCOURT" (not Obio-Apko). EVEN Diobu (Mile 3/Mile 1) is planned. .

Decorum: Another useless talk. Orderliness is relative to population density. Compare a city like Paris (which I lived in for over 4 years) and a City like New York (which I lived in for 8 months) and you can see the difference in decorum. Lets bring it home. Compare Lagos and Kano city in terms of decorum and lets see what you get. The bigger a cities population, the harder it is to control and regulate. Port-harcourt may be mad, but it is nowhere near Lagos. Owerri may be saner, but its only because Owerri's population isnt even up to 3 quarters of Obio Apko local government area alone, talk of the entire port-harcourt. If places were switched, Owerri would not last a week under the pressures port-harcourt has to deal with.

Advancement: NIGGA are you shitting me right now?! Now let me school you son, Owerri is a student town. The highest employer of labour is Government. The rest of the town is filled with petty traders. Owerri is so backwards that despite the fact that they are an Oil producing state (irrespective of how ridiculously small the oil might be), there isnt a single oil company in the freaking state ( not just Owerri). Presently, Port-Harcourt has started making most of the drainages on their roads underground, Owerri is yet to embrace the concept of open pit gutters sef. How many fly-overs does Owerri have to boast of?! (Using fly-overs as a yardstick to measure how advanced a city has come to dealing with traffic congestion to ease the flow of traffic). . . Moving forward, how many manufacturing companies does Owerri have?! Scratch that, Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport got its highest airplane traffic when Port-Harcourt International was closed down for rehabilitation in 2007 and even then, no international flight would land there. Still on advancement, Port-harcourt has started sinking Billions of dollars into a monorail system to help decongest traffic, Owerri is yet to even have ground moving train tracks let alone think of a monorail. Port-Harcourt has so Advanced and grown from its colonial days that it has fully engulfed over 3 local government areas outside of Port-Harcourt, what is Owerris actual span?! I heard people talk about hotels and I laugh, is it those 10,000 - 25,000 Naira per night hotels that you are bragging about?! ONCE MORE MY NIGGA GIVE ME A BREAK!! Lets start from the oldest Hotel in Port-Harcourt "PRESIDENTIAL HOTEL" and work our way up. . . . to the Le Meridians, Proteas, Novotels, Golden Tulips and the list goes on . . . If those things littered around Owerri is what you refer to as "5 STAR", then the Hotels in Port-Harcourt are the Burj Al-Arab. Speaking of Advancement, How do you talk shi't about a state that has Two refineries with more being built as we speak, Three functional independent gas power plants, a sea port, an International Airport that actually hosts international flights on a daily basis, multi-national companies and hotel and businesses and the list goes on and then try to compare it to Owerri?! In what way biko?! How?!

Aba Road issue: Without a doubt most businesses are centered around Aba Road as it should be. Reasons being its a major road, ease of access and all, but for you to say take out Aba road and Port-Harcourt is dead shows that you know nothing about Port-harcourt. Lets now take a census of the MAJOR businesses on Aba road; A few banks, NDDC H/Q, Presidential Hotel, Happy Bites confectioneries, Intels Camp, Protea Hotel, Oil Mill Market, and thats about it. . . I'm sure these are not the businesses holding port-Harcourt up, If you had said Trans-Amadi, then you may have been up to something. If you used Aba Road in terms of major road, then again you would be right but only for a little period. . As we speak, we have Airforce road which is a multicarriage way, East-west road which is being expanded to a 6-lane highway, Stadium road and even old-Aba road. . . INFACT, you can move around port-harcourt without even getting onto Aba road for more than a few kilometers. . . Everything is centered around Aba road only to a JJC. .

CHOBA is Obio Apko not Port-Harcourt. Why didnt you add Obigbo to the list. . .



Once more sir, STAY IN YOUR LANE ELSE YOU GET RUN OVER. . . An Owerri Big Boy is toy when he enters Port-Harcourt. Go and ask the people that know. . . . Like someone pointed out, just because your town (Owerri) has an endless supply of cheap whores that attract low lifers into the city dont make it a mega city or more than it is (a civil servant State). Even Aba boys make more money than Owerri Boys. . .

he he he
This is exactly what I've been avoiding. Exactly why I've been pleading with Abagworo to rest this issue.

RoadStar: I am not into the game of comparing states but Anambra needs to live up to expectations.
A state that produces the highest calibre individuals in all walks of life is not being served well.
Stop lying 2 urseleves, I was in Anambra over the xmas period, apart from the well durable roads in the Idemili axis
which was done by the Ngige, the rest areas was full of bad/decayed infrastructure with poor quality work all over the place.

U need to have seen these roads in idemili b4 ngige. They were not even roads.
I believe Obi is the problem. This man lacks vision and is not fit 2 be a leader of any sort.
How can they vote in a mere visionless trader as governor.

This is why I believe that Rochas can deliver on his promises if he plans and executes well.

I agree with you 100%. But it seems like the OP is stretching it further by attempting to downgrade the economic importance of Onitsha and supplant it with Aba. Truely, Peter Obi is performing below expectation. But bear in mind that he is not the worst performing governor in southeast.
Just like many Anambrarians, I'm disappointed that Peter Obi was still occupying that seat after the last election. So we hope to hit him hard in the eye just like we did during the Anambra-North senatorial contest between Dora and Ngige.

Abagworo: I will like to know on what grounds Onitsha is 5 times Aba because from google earth, Aba seems much bigger. Available info shows there are more multi national companies in Aba, more SMEs, more IGR and even more cottage industries.

Onitsha market is more than 5x bigger than Ariaria market. Onitsha market comprises of Main market, Head bridge, Upper Iweka market, Awada spare parts market, Iweka Rd. electrical and electronics market, etc. Due to congestion, the market has expanded to Nkpor(motor spare parts), Ogidi(building materials and bakery), Oba(electricals), Obosi(motor spare parts). Therefore business activity in Onitsha is not solely concentrated in main market unlike Ariaria market.

bittyend: @chino11

Why are so uncouth and aggressive?

I think that Abagworo deserves such treatment

Mr. Globe:
Exactly, bro. Notice I subtly stayed away from the topic so as not to allow Peter Obi and his agents take the glory when I say Anambra is better (as they always do). It is stup!d to compare Anambra and Abia. Anambra has onitsha which is 5 times > than Aba the only pride of Abia. Ok, umuahia will compete with rickety Awka but then, there is still Nnewi, ALL individually developed even with govt neglect. Anambra is light years ahead of abia. What they just need is the right govt (I hope they vote soludo in 2014) who will expand and dualize roads, demolish illegal and crappy structures, plan the cities, AIRPORT, provide infrastructures to allow standard economic activities to flow. I bet, with that in place Anambra will overtake rivers and even compete with lagos. Peter obi is just a setback

True talk

Da infamous: good talk the thing is that these people don't no anambra state very well,do you know that anambra state is the only state that you will never see huts and mud houses unlike some states in SE and other regions they all still got huts etc.Anambra is well organised full of potentials too many young and old self made millionaires and billionaires most of the infrastructure in anambra were build by individuals onitsha is one of the richest city in SE/Nigeria main market onitsha is the biggest in Africa so why comparing the two

I would have joined the bandwagon. But I gains nothing by pulling down my fellow Igbo town or state. As I mentioned earlier, the intention of the OP in starting this thread is malicious. The facts are there online. Just google them. Abagworo got so frustrated with the paucity of the replies to his thread that he resorted to calling Onitsha businessmen 'petty traders'. In an effort to rile us and extract an angry response from us.

The best that we can do here is to ignore this thread. As for Peter Obi, we'll tackle his f/u//ck up in 2014.

Enough said.

Mr. Globe:
Dear adviser are you not ashamed of these crappy projects you posted here that looks like the achievements of a local government chairman? Cheap house without aesthetics making the environment more ugly. Anambra needs a governor that will bring these crappy projects down and get to work. You need to visit imo. Bye

This is one of the reasons why I want everybody to hold fire until 2014

joeisreal: MOST FEMALE SECONDARY SCHOOL IN ANAMBRA HAS A FUNCTIONAL BOREHOLE WITH GENERATING SET COURTESY OF PETER OBI SO AS TO REDUCE RISK OF RAPE FOR FEMALE BOARDERS WHO GO TO FETCH WATER FROM THE SURROUNDINGS EARLY IN THE MORNING. THIS TO ME IS A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT.

joeisreal: SECONDARY SCHOOL HAS A COMPUTER LABORATORY WITH OVER 30 FUNCTIONAL PC'S ALL CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET THAT IS EVEN OPEN TO VILLAGERS TO COME AND USE FOR A TOKEN.

Are u posting from Peter Obi's cybercafe?
Chei! I can't wait for 2014 to start this debate.

joeisreal: IT'S A RARE PRIVILEGE. ANAMBRA STATE IS THE FIRST STATE TO EMPLOY 1000 COMPUTER TEACHERS

manchy7531: "The Hausa-Fulani north has no ideals, no ambitions save such as sensual in character. He is a fatalist, spendthrift and a gambler. He is gravely immoral and is seriously diseased that he is a menace parasite to any community to which he seeks to attach himself".
- Lord Lugard in a Letter to his colleague, Walter H. Lang on September 25, 1918.

Bro, this your quote na die. you have effectively summarized and closed this slow thread with that quote

RoadStar: Let Anambrains say the truth, Obi is getting away with murder.
Nothing is functioning, all aspects of the civil service is in one form of strike or the other.
The few small projects he has executed are so poorly executed with inferior materials that u wanna cry !

This is a guy who believes that government is all about paid commercials and no spending while he banks the state funds in Fidelity Bank.
I will say it again [size=14pt]POST PICTURES[/size] of Onitsha, Nnewi or Awka Dont be Asahmed !

Abians have been critical of Orji from day one that you can see that the guys is getting affected by all the critics.
He is being forced to do some work
Anambra ought to take a cue from that.

Ol boy! Relax. . . We'll debate this issue exhaustively during 2014 political season. We are aware of all these issues you raised. Cursing each other and inflaming emotions here is not the best course of action. Let's debate this issue in 2014 and channel our desire for change appropriately.

freecocoa: So you call picking pockets at the slightest chance,smoking igbo,drinking recklessly,womanizing,inability to make one complete and correct sentence in english,[size=20pt][/b]no zeal for education[b][/size], spending money with reckless abandon,teenage pregnancy etc being wise?hmm i must be missing something.

Did u say whaaat?!

Really u are missing something.

Onitsha boasts of DMGS, CKC, Saint Charles Special Science School, QRC etc.

I've never lived in academics conscious city as Onitsha. Apart from business, Onitsha is also the powerhouse learning in Anambra.

Students that did their primary and secondary education at Onitsha, on average are above their counterparts from other parts of country(visit the top tiers universities in the east and the country to confirm this).

Your comment shows that u have a warped outlook of Onitsha.

Onitsha is not all about business. It also leads in academics(think of Chike Obi, Emeagwalis, Ikpeazus, etc).

I will advise you to enrol your kids in schools at Onitsha during their primary and secondary school level.

Your children will be grateful to u for your wise decision when they enters university

The aim of this thread has been defeated. I can see Yoruba posters like Eko ile, Ekiti beer, Alj harem, Shymmex etc lurking around and waiting for Igbos to fight among themselves. Guess what?! It did not happen(much to their disappointment). Chino ignored the thread. Major Igbo posters ignored the thread too. The ones that did post did not play to Abagworo's concealed game plan.

At this juncture, I want to ask Abagworo a question. Do u enjoy watching Igbos fight themselves, all in the name of healthy competition?

Also, Onitsha was totally unrecognisable to me from the photo u posted above. Nothing could explain your intention in this thread except mischief.

Finally, let me reiterate the modified excerpt from Onlytruth's comment. . .

Onlytruth: [size=20pt]IGBOS
