That's good to know. Being a Rivers State indigene, I assume Herbert Wigwe would want to set the world-class Uni over there in Rivers State. On the other hand, it could be in Lagos State since he is also professionally a Lagos big dude... A part of the original Guaranty Trust Bank employees who moved on to set up Access Bank.

I read years back how Herbert's father who was then a Nigerian military officer in Abeokuta survived being killed in the aftermath of the counter coup of 1966, and how he was tipped off by a colleague who asked him what he was still doing in the West when some of his military colleagues had relocated. He miraculously made it back with his nuclear family to their ancestral home town near the Port Harcourt area. It was a very fascinating story of survival and the triumph of the human spirit... I never forgot that interview.

What exactly do you mean by "professionally a Lagos big dude''?

Anyway, the university has since commenced at Isiokpo his hometown.

Thank God everyone is now having a mindset if giving back to the society. I hope this investment is in ikwere land

You are funny. So, you think if Biafra was created today, they would allow Ngozi Iweala to lead them? Joke of the century. That is when you will see the real nature of Igbo men.

Do you think Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala would be World Trade Organization director if Igbos were in control of the organization? Lol.

you are clowning. Igbos have more women in political position and public service more than any other ethnic group. The value of properties Igbo women own or control in marriage is worth more than those of all geopolitical zones put together.

Learn from better people to be a better person instead of senseless grandstanding.

How does commitments to marriage Stop a woman from owning property/wealth?

the same way it stops her from continuing with her father's surname.

you won't understand. If you did, your region wouldn't have such high numbers.

EazyMoh:
A divorcee in the north doesn't get one inch of her ex husband's property after divorce. She just carrys whatever she came with.
So your point of divorce falls flat!
Also the issue of polygamy, how many people (women) have money to by property in the poorest sections of the country?
The obvious answer is inheritance.
A woman in the north (especially Muslim North) inherits land from her father, husband, brother, mother, sister, .... etc.
Whereas in contrast ita totally opposite in say SE.

if you are thinking properly you will know you just proved his point. Divorce rate is high in the North unknown to many. If they are entitled to nothing upon divorce, it makes property ownership in their own name more plausible.

Data reflects commitment to marriage institution among regions.

What is their excuse this time?
Nollywood?

I knew the idiot was the one organising it. He hasn't gotten attention he is seeking online. He might not be lucky offline.

Peter Obi missed the chance to leave an indelible mark in Anambra.

He is the one planning the so called hangout.

Report by the nations

If I were a Yoruba I would be damn ashamed. Same Igbo girls that openly make fun of Yoruba guys and their feminine vibes.

Yoruba people are at the periphery of cultural integration of the south. Hence the need for constant reassurance of self worth.

Empty barrel makes the most noise.

jamesversion:
I'm from wherever I want. Actually im from Isuofia town in Aguata local government area of Anambra state.

congratulations on the few minutes attention you have gotten from me. You can carry on with your sad life.

jamesversion:
You over estimate Riverine people oh. If they were that formidable why did it take 24years for them to become Governor in Rivers state since 1999. They are not as many and influential as you think. Everything is not by noise making and gra gra.

The issue on hand is not a tribal one but a reneging of agreement, whatever the agreement may be. Please this ethnic coloration being painted chiefly by Igbos is unnecessary and uncalled for.

I know the SE is in shambles due to IPOB, but don't drag others to your level. We know how to sort our issue in Rivers state

Thanks.

clown. When did you start hailing from rivers state?

You and you brother are not as important as you think to deserve even the faintest assurance of safety based on your tribe. If you feel insecure you can remain in your state and serve or move to any other of the 35 states and FCT.

They won't survive competition with Aba.

IGR people over to you.

EmeeNaka:
the best governor anambra has ever had is Gov Peter Obi. If Soludo perform, we will praise him too. Obiano is criminal.

Peter Obi is the worst governor after mbadinuju

fuckJones:
see how they will rebuke Biafra now

as they have refused to rebuke I hope you'll rebuke for them.

Idiot..If we want to follow it geographically, then there will be nothing like South South. Most states of the South South are geographically not Niger Delta.

The Niger Delta region consist only of Bayelsa state, the riverine area of Rivers state and the warri area of Delta state. The largest city in Niger Delta region is warri not Portharcourt.

Upland rivers (including Port Harcourt) Delta north in Delta state, Cross River, Edo and Akwa ibom are not part of the Niger Delta region.

The crafty old man wants to define Niger Delta region in a half -correct fashion that includes all south south states, knowing full well that if the non Niger Delta regions of the south south are excluded, they will lose claim to majority of crude oil deposits in the country. He wants a Niger Delta region where Igbo speaking people and other ethnic groups will produce oil while his ijaw will have the loudest claim.

Frustration has killed Reno. No evidence the person who replied him was Igbo.

laudate:
Who is talking about Igalas and the North? I said Igalas have nothing to do with Biafra. Can't you read?? And there are several Igala historians. Can't you look for others and compare notes?

This one wants Igala to hate Biafra by all means.

For your info, overwhelming majority of Idoma and lower Igala are madly pro Biafra. These places would've been in the East if not for British colonial antics and anti Igbo gerrymandering that carved Igbo related groups into the north to increase North's influence over the rest of the country.
