this war has really exposed the Russian military, their tech isn't state of the art, their planning for logistics during combat is poor, economy is weak. The only tin keeping them as world power is if the vast amount and number of amunitions, planes, warships add nuclear war head they have accumulated over decades

You underrate nuclear armed Russia at the peril of makind.

They are soldiers with political conviction. They are not like some of the zombie soldiers in one Big West African country who can even wipe out their family members as they obey one General Alhaji giving orders.

He's useless hence that woman turned him to houseboy. You think if he's providing security that woman will condescend him that low?

Dirty and useless olopa!

The type that acts macho extorting civilians on the police roadblocks called checkpoints in the east.

SmartPolician:
IMO, internet penetration is low in the east because most young people from the east don't reside in the region.The SE leaders haven't made effort to create opportunities for our people in order to keep them there. The implication is that every young Igbo wants to migrate to Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt or elsewhere in the world in search of greener pastures.

People often say that anywhere you go and you don't see an Igbo man, you know that nothing is happening there. Funnily enough, our people see that as a good thing. The truth is, there's nothing good about a region's most brilliant minds leaving in droves.

Southeast governors are busy with what they call building state capital, but abandon rest of the state to decay and depopulation. They compete with building flyovers in the state capital while common pipe borne water does not exist in their states.

In Imo state for example, "I am building Owerri state capital to international standard, or to designer's delight," is what we heard and hear from former governor Rochas Okorocha and present governor Hope Uzodinma respectively. The two demolishing and rebuilding in Owerri but causing decay and depopulation of abandoned rest of the state, has been the situation in Imo state in the last ten years.

mumu afonja man is bony port in SE? Buhari is constructing standard gauge railway from kano to niger republic when there's no one connecting south east, u call second niger bridge igbo project but the ones they are building in yorubaland and hausalands are Nigerian projects, no region is greater or more valuable than others why can't you ask your self why there's agitation of biafra

Agitation for restoration of Biafra is not connected to exclusion of the east from standard gauge rail project.
Sharaap, and get yourself informed, before coming online to expose your ignorance.
Why call Afonja? Because you first consider where a person who drops a comment comes from before you think of what reply you give to the comment, the same stupeed manner you talked about "ur Orlu," as if Orlu is a strange town you would want to get rid of from the face of the earth.

Ur lamentations are becoming stale baba. Old man, rest! I am so sure that u have a disorganised family, u can't keep ur family together but u come here every day to spew trash.

My so-called lamentations can only be stale before pimps like you who live on the hotels being proliferated everywhere in Owerri profiting on the fleshes of the hundreds of thousands of young students massed up in Owerri area by location of all state and federal tertiary education institutions in Imo state in Owerri alone.

Nigeria's election and democracy are falsehoods given the skewed and lopsided political structure in which northern military dictators sowed states like seeds (19 states), in the former northern region. With the electoral law that a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 24 states before proclaimed winner in Nigeria's presidential election, there is no southern presidential candidate who can win Nigeria's presidential election if northern region supports a northern presidential candidate.

Those in Onitsha who complain of roadblocks by Nigeria's armed forces should watch how Ukrainian civilians blocked the convoy of Russian soldiers entering a city in Ukrain. Nigeria's armed forces on road blocks are not doing their constitutional duty. Even police don't mount roadblocks to apprehend criminals in developed countries. Police in developed countries use intelligence networks to apprehend criminals on the road or wherever.

Aufbauh:
It is also asserted that the worst side of democracy is better than any form of military rule.
However I feel that Nigeria in particular and Africa in general still need the military rule cus of the peculiarity of our politicians.

You want Nigeria's disintegration? Anyway, it may be better.

Rumours have some elements of truth in them.

Let it not be another coup by Hausa/Fulani soldiers to prempt power return to the South in 2023.

anselem87:
that guy like posting nonsense. FG said since last year that they will rehabilitate the old Eastern narrow gauge which received massive condemnation from south easterners and some south south, FG can't be constructing standard gauge in other regions then they will be rehabilitating old narrow gauge in the south east.then why posting it now as if na new better news

Orooo.
The same way they use the federal allocations to IMSG and its LGAs to build and demolish and rebuild in Owerri since 2013, that's similar to what you condemn the federal government for doing, as it uses Nigeria's income and loans to build standard gauge rail lines that exclude the east.

I condemn what's been going on in Imo state, you and others like you yab me for talking about the arrested development in Orlu which you called "ur Orlu."
I emphasise on Orlu because, if IMSG gave Orlu its commensurate urban development infrastructures, Orlu should have been developing at the same pace with Owerri. Little differences in urban development existed between Owerri and Orlu in 1976. But for the sabotage by the last two governors from Orlu senatorial district, it's been stagnation in Orlu since Rochas Okorocha took Imo state to APC. Only fools from Imo state enjoy Imo state of Owerri as the only modern place, but turn round to condemn the exclusion of the east by the federal government in its provision of modern development infrastructures to rest of Nigeria.

rtdCivilservant:
But u made us believe that Orlu is the worst place to live in, that all past and present governors have neglected ur people. Now u are again saying ur place is not too bad to be described as a village, indirectly saying governance is felt by ur people. Hope u are OK sha?

Is that all you understood from there?

By 1976 when Imo state was created, there were hardly any huge differences in the levels of urban development between Owerri and Orlu.
Bad governance and primitive greed of an Imo group arrested development in Orlu.

Two governors from Orlu senatorial district reduced Orlu to rural area status.

goodheart01:
Stop all these nuclear arm threat shit and talk like a human being for once. Is Russia the only country with nuclear arms?! What nonsense!! The US has almost the same number of nuclear war heads as Russia does. Other countries have their fair share too. If Putin dares nuke any country all NATO nuclear powers will Nuke Russia to dust. If he thinks he’s mad then there are people who are crazy

If Russia triggers the other nuclear-armed countries to also deploy their nuclear weapons anywhere, you may not be alive after to insult me to talk like a human being for once.

You sounded like one on a vengeance cause.

rtdCivilservant:
Amah70, go and become a contractor in ur village so that u will stop crying like a loser. Old man.

What you have in mind for "village" is a rural place not attractive for modern or rich persons to live in permanently.
FYI: lots of settlements in Paris, London and other traditional cities in the developed countries are officially called village. The rich and modern also live permanently in those villages.
In your mindset, except Owerri, every place in Imo state is the type of village you had in mind, and should remain like that. I am not from that type of village you had in mind. I am from Orlu.

Idiko1:
You are one of the reasons Nigeria is called basket of fools. A dumbass jackass such as heads a government ministry and appoint either his wife, daughter, son or his brother, the issue of conflict of interest is established. The government ministry where the dumbass jackass is the top guy is not his private property. Otula, you do not need to convert anything into a private property to raise the issue of conflict of interest. This is one reason you do not have job. The case of Rochas Okorocha is fraud. The conversion of public property into personal interest or ownership is a major aspect of corruption. if this allegation is remotely true, Rochas Okorocha should not be a senator but a prisoner by now.

For the umpteenth time:
You don't know what Conflict of Interest means.

See the definition of Conflict of interest:

"a situation in which a person is in a position to derive personal benefit from actions or decisions made in their official capacity."


FYI, it's not the amount of insulting you made that wins you an argument. Your insulting means nothing to me because I know your level.

EmptyGarden:
Great move! This would definitely enrage Putin.

Putin is nuclear armed.
If this enrages him, the world is on a keg of gunpowder.
Common sense: Ukrainian president shouldn't be doing things that can enrage Putin.

The comedian has acted again.
How does Ukraine joining the EU stop Russia's massacre of his people in Ukraine? This president has been chasing shadows,
his ineptitude is partly responsible for the war Russia levied against his Ukraine.

Idiko1:
I guess you have low level of comprehensible ability. The dumbass governor hails from Omuma. If he locates Imo State Polytechnic in his village, it raises the question of "Conflict of Interest". Otula!!!

You don't know the meaning of the term: "Conflict of Interest."

The man you call dumbass governor did not say that the Polytechnic he located in his hometown is his private property. If he says so, Conflict of Interest comes in.
His hometown, Omuma, is a part of Imo state; therefore, can host any government development project.

Conflict of Interest applies to former governor Rochas Okorocha's attempt to partly own the university built by IMSG in his hometown.

Idiko1:

You reshaped your comment. It becomes understable. Good.

The man you call dumbass governor is lavishing the federal allocations to IMSG and its 27 LGAs rebuilding your Owerri home area to his taste, while floods drown humans and buildings in my Orlu urban LGA with many dilapidated roads. You call me a fool for voicing out the abnormality in governance.

No more of governors contesting senate seat? If so, thay will be good news.

Akudaisi:
Using NK to get relevant lol

Yeah,
Another name for it is name-dropping.

Foolish president, the EU being abandoned by its principal member countries.

MARKone:
Bloody good for nothing liars, police were on their trail indeed. Armed robbers that operated for close to 2hrs, robbing five banks yet these extortionists in uniforms, as usual failed to respond, not even a "banger" from the Police. NPF should give credit to Ubiaja youths that barricaded the escape route the Armed robbers wanted to take.

A Police helicopter gunship from Benin or Asaba would have dispersed the robbers after 6 minutes or so of their operation.

Instead, armed forces are trained, and armaments are acquired by Nigeria principally to protect crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta.

Because you know that the skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria created by northern soldiers is on your favour.

Let's see how this false democracy in a forced country pans out.

seunmsg:
Game on. We will walk majestically to the polling booths on 25th of February, 2023 to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president of Nigeria.

Tinubu is well educated, very exposed, understands the economy and how to generate revenue, has an eye for spotting the best talents and deploying them appropriately, very good at developing infrastructure, understands how to secure the country, has a good working chemistry with the private sector and most importantly, he’s a NATIONALIST.

No part of the country will feel marginalized or neglected during his tenure as he will carry everybody along. It’s going to be a period of unimaginable economic growth and shared prosperity. Fellow Nigerians, the choice is yours. Vote Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for president.

Your Banana Republic looming large. You can't use your parochial interest to draw the progressives in Nigeria to that your looming Republic. Enuf said.

Idiko1:
If the Polytechnic in Omuma is the outcome of the present dumbass governor of Imo State, it is a matter of conflict of interest. I do not expect you to reason in that direction because you are lacky.

Nke a o si gini?

Why didn't you write in Igbo language since you can't communicate meaningfully in English language?

With all due respect Sir, your fitness is a
big problem.

If Ukraine president is not fit, how will he be able to lead over 40 million Ukrainians to war against Russia?

One need to be fit, both physically nd mentally to lead the most populous black nation in the world.

He will tell you that he will employ younger people to do a lot of the job.
So why don't he give way for those younger people to become president while he goes to rest during this his old age?

But the task before a sprinter is easier than the task in the job you are applying for.

The Ukraine president contributed more than half of the causes of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

He wants Ukraine to join war fighting NATO. But these days, its hard to get a leader of a Western country who will choose war to peaceful methods.

He wants Ukraine to join the European Union. But the European Union is no more in vogue, as foundation members seek a way to leave the Union.

See how u have been disgracing ursef on the thread. U are very unintelligent, every where must not have equal level of development. Even in the US, New York is the commercial nerve centre and most people look forward to living there. Even though I have an idea of the point u are unintelligently trying to make, but the way u are going about it makes u sound stupid, u talk like someone that is selfish and wicked, u don't want to see or appreciate anything good in others because ur village is not developed?, that's the trait of an evil person. U write so unintelligently, saying people from Owerri don't think of coming to invest in Orlu? Are u sure u are OK? Must it always be that way? Everywhere must not be an investment hub, it is like that all over the world. U talked about Asia having about 3 developed city, are u trying to say 3 developed city judging by ur yardstick) is sufficient for a State with about 5 million people, a state with more than 15 local government areas? Even me I will want to see Imo where every where is developed

Floods kill kids, carry away people's houses in a part of Imo state, because IMSG refuses to build common gutters and the mostly affected roads in the place. Go to Orlu urban LGA to verify this.
Instead, IMSG builds underground gutters, and roads into the rural areas of Owerri using the federal allocations of the people in the area affected by the flooding.

You tell me that one place in a state is supposed to be developed while others wait.
Evil man is a kind word to define you and others supporting the development pattern in Imo state. IQ level: you are a dumbo.

RareDiamond:
It is your house that is a crime scene not Imo State. You are evil, selfish and unreasonable person.
Shut up if you have nothing sensible to say.

Orlu zone now have a State University, University Teaching Hospital, State Polytechnic, Schools of Health and Nursing, a Federal Government College, two Federal Government agencies etc. Orlu zone have ruled Imo State for about 20 years out of about 24 years of democracy, yet you are nagging unintelligently.

You are worst than the people you criticize, Only Okigwe zone has right to justifiably complain of insufficient government facilities and presence.

Go and create your Orlu thread afterall you have never made any sensible contribution to this thread.

You need a deeper understanding of Imo state. Abusing me doesn't help you. One instance:
in Imo state, it's rare or impossible to find an investor from anywhere in Owerri senatorial district investing in landed properties anywhere in Orlu and Okigwe zones. It's even rare to find a person from anywhere in Owerri zone taking residence in any part of Orlu and Okigwe zones.
But practically every one from Okigwe and Orlu zones dream to invest in landed properties in Owerri zone. People from Orlu and Okigwe zones migrate daily to live in Owerri area. It's a dream to nearly every young person in Orlu and Okigwe zones to live in Owerri area. Why? Because successive governors of Imo state, worse, since 2012, have not invested in infrastructural development in Orlu and Okigwe areas. Where goes the funds to have been used in infrastructural development in Orlu and Okigwe areas?
Anyone who condones the ongoing evacuation of Orlu and other places in Imo state to Owerri is EVIL himself.

rtdCivilservant:
Yes. It is like that with all the states in Nigeria except Lagos.

You are not serious.
A state Government spends loads of funds to maintain urban infrastructures in its cities.

For example, in neighbouring Abia state, we have thriving Aba and Umuahia cities.

In neighbouring Anambra state, we have thriving cities in Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi.
In neighbouring Enugu state, we have thriving Enugu and Nsukka. In Delta state, multiple cities like Warri, Asaba, Ughelli, Agbor.
In Imo state, only Owerri thrives. Where have the funds for infrastructures in Orlu and other urban centres in Imo state gone to?
Imo state is a CRIME SCENE since 2011 when IMSG abandonement of the other once thriving cities in Imo state outside Owerri started; the abandonment has gotten worse since 2020.
