Odenigbo Aroli: You are so naive,nwanne. Afam is not an honest person. If you were paying close attention you will notice he never cautioned his Enugu brother who were castigating Anambra.

lacasa: Straight and true to the point.

The North sustained the Nigerian eeconomy b4 oil.

Nigeria was progressing economically during thαt time b4 the cursed oyel came in .

Now, look where we at!

Abagworo: [s]The reason there aren't as much Universities in the Southeast is scarcity of land. We have the zeal for education and the resources to build schools but land is very scarce especially in Imo and Anambra States.[/s] Village lands could go as high as 10 to 40million per plot in some areas and we know the number of acres required for a university.

[s]As at present Imo is the most literate and educationally developed State.[/s]

Over to you. No name calling please I'm neutral here and just want to learn.

N/B: I agree with the topic, Enugu is d pride of the east who no like am make e go hug wet transformer

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^ACM10, thanks for the pic updates; if not for these latest pics you posted, we'd have thought 'massive' construction works are still on-going and are due to be completed. See how filth/durty has taken over and blocked some of the gutters in some of the pics you posted....why for fuc/ks sake can't they (even if work is suspended for the rainy season as always seems to be the case) clean their surroundings and make them neat?

And another thing: those intra-city roads you posted the pics.....where are pedestrians supposed to walk? ; will they be taking their chances with the crazy traffic when walking by the road? Honestly, the things we see as 'normal' and 'acceptable' is enough to get a gov't sued in saner climes.

Ohaneze1: Yea..

It appears you are somewhere near where I am..?

If you are chanced tomorrow, may we meet in my office @ fed. sec here in Awka..

Email me: chino.dyke@yahoo.com

Ohaneze1: ACM

I understand your position. The work is still ongoing due to rain, now that the rain has sub-sized the work will be completed before xmas. Already the major contractor handling the expressway will soon get to that point to ashphalt the road.

Ohaneze1: There is nothing wrong in siting it. It can even be sited a little bit off the major cities of Awka or Onitsha..

strangest: source??

GARRI (x7):
BPBS - Beer Parlour Broadcasting Service...

Ohaneze1: You don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you are talking of Awka of 10yrs ago, but recent findings has shown that you are talking utter rubbish. Awka has some of the most modern architectures in the SE. Its on record that one can hardly see a house in Awka that was not built with modern long span roofing sheet, instead of ordinary CIS that are common else. With the new UN-Habitat masterplan Awka is going to the top. Below is the same Unizik junction as at 2 months ago. Work is seriously taking place there, coupled with the reconstruction of the Onitsha-Awka fed. highway that will pass there.



[s]THIS IS UNIZIK TEMP. SITE JUNCTION UNDER-GOING MASSIVE RECONSTRUCTION AND REMODELING.[/s]

Odenigbo Aroli: How do you know that this mall belongs to Obi ? I need some proof and don't tell me someone told you. And when was that mall built ? Do you know Obi was already a wealthy man before he joined politics?

spyder880: its only a road protection work going on, but see the way they are making it look unique.

WHISTLE BLOWER: I was almost ignoring you till I found something. You said Ajali is Ezeagu. I know you are hardly an Anambran, little wonder you do not know the towns.

Anambra under Obi is doing great, with healthy financial status that cannot be found anywhere in Nigeria. He has created enabling environment to be able to attract FDIs and huge investments which no other Nigerian gov has achieved in the last 10yrs. He has working on all areas of the state simultaneously. He was not appoint Special adviser on finance to the presidency on political slot but on it merits. He has opened and connected all the community in Anambra, which is the actual development, than focusing only in urban centers like some govs are doing. Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi are getting attention on areas of road construction and reconstruction. I don't know where you get the gibberish, you are sending here, because all the stuff you wrote about Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi are quite opposite of what is on the ground. Why not tell us the truth..where are you from?

Odenigbo Aroli: Nwokem,jee kpuo ike n'oche; You are from Ogidi but you couldn't write a simple "Omanbala dielect". Says a lot about your orientattion. I don't have any issue with the progress of Enugu but I strongly disagree with the term "pride of the east". If Spyder has said Enugu is the most beautiful city in the east we won't be here discussing this BS because it is in actuality but for you lot to ignorantlly and erroneously term Enugu the pride of the east is inexcusably! Who made Enugu the pride of the east?

For you Afam,you can keep masking your hatred and jealousy for Umu-Omanbala but be assured that you can't fool me! You have constantly ignored the groundbreaking development Peter Obi has brought to Omanbala and the unity he has brought to the east since he became the chairman of the southeast governors forum. Peter Obi could be the most powerful figure in the eastern Nigeria of today but it hard for you to see that because you have been beclouded by the shameful veil of bigotry. You want Anambra to become like Dubai overnight disregarding that a mansion starts with a solid foundation. Today Omanbala is one of the most economic viable state in Nigeria. Omanbala doesn't owe anybody and we still have billions in our reserve.

I laugh when some of you say I'm jealous and I want to know why I will be jealous of a state that can't pay their dept. Running around borrowing money that you don't have the capacity to pay. Dumbtards!

Abagworro: ^
I agree with you. Its an insult to the sensibility of Ndigbo to make such assertion.

I have also wondered what made Enugu state the pride of Alaigbo? Because there is nothing significant about Enugu state or Enugu particularly.Its just a mirage as you have rightly stated. I do not see anything worth celebrating or being proud of by the entire SE in the so called Enugu state, its all mediocrity all the way.

Maybe its for Enugu state people who are singing praise over mediocrity show in the place. The entire SE should not be drawn into this show of shame.

DISCLAIMER: WE DISSOCIATE OTHER SE STATES FROM THIS SHAME, PARTICULARLY IMO STATE.

WHISTLE BLOWER: @NRI PRIEST

I thought I was the only one that ever thought of this. What actually made enugu state the pride of the east? Its a question that may not be able to be answered in the next 200yrs. We have more important SE cities that make the SE proud within and outside the country. This is a state that entire SE has given so much to but the only thing it can offer is gibberish as infrastructure. The last time I visited the same enugu state it was all a mirage, the poorly constructed roads are already washed away, dumps has taken over virtually all the streets from Achara layout, new haven, uwani even the so called GRA is messed. This is one reason Yoruba people will continue to laugh at us because we are celebrating mediocrity exhibited in enugu state as excellence. Since the 2nd term of chime he has barely done anything in the state, even the few ones he did in his first term are already eroded. enugu state remains timid, hugely under-developed and highlevel poverty in the land. We are not even talking about the poor security situation.

OP: change the topic because enugu state is nowhere near being what we the easterners can be proud of nor live in it.

one.east:
Stop it!! Now Abagworo is being forced at gun point to say the obvious fact?? Answer me?
We are okay with the position of Onitsha. Go on and talk about your own place mediocre Enugu state, don't talk on behalf of us and others. Onitsha is getting better by the day, it can only get better, foriegn investors are trooping in on daily basis because conducive environment. Stop mentioning Onitsha on the same page with Aba, because Onitsha is light years ahead of Aba in all its ramifications of development.
Good job Abagworo for standing up for truth at least for once.

candieangel12: Gotta go with Flavour since I know him personally.
