Udenu ring road

Yankee101:
Trying to compare origins of Igbo vs Kano trading is a no brainer. It's a historical fact that trans saharan trade developed in earlier before Igbos came or developed their own trade


It's like Mark Zuckeberg and Microsoft. If you know their cross stories.

we are in agreement in the bold..trans Saharan trade in Kano started way before igbos heard about Kano self..my issue is your assertion that igbos went fully into trade in kano after the civil war..no.. their population has increased no doubt but before the war the igbos in kano(of course way after trans saharan trade) were already into their own versions of trading

Yankee101:
In the 40s and 50s most Nigerian tribes were already in Kano too doing business. The war drove most out. The Kano riots of the 50s were targeting Yorubas but the Igbos were hurt eventually. That shows you distribution of others in Kano then.

The grand dispersal of Igbos was as a result of the civil war. The US especially granted many Igbos asylum. That's how the international aspect of Igbo trade developed.

After the effort of this airlift (link below), human cargo was the last they took out as the war came to an end.

Yankee101:
Read the history of Igbo trading and Kano trading

i have actually read lots of history about igbo migrating to Kano to trade..not saying they set the pace for trading in Kano no but saying it was after the war that igbos started gaining momentum in trade in Kano is false..in the 40s,50s igbo traders in kano had already started making their in their trade businesses in kano

Yankee101:
That's "historic' and colonial Kano.

It now boasts of one of the States with the largest number of millionaires.

They started trading with Arabs in the trans-saharan trade long before[b] Igbos went into full time trade after the war disenfranchised them from government jobs and appointments[/b].

you are wrong here..igbos were fully into trade most especially in kano even before the war happened

mayim:
Yeah right, they have a Bsc in zoology abi. I can imagine what your comment would have been if the topic of the threat was ‘hyena kills soldiers at army base’....As a soldier, it’s kill or be killed, u have split seconds to make those decisions

I am actually not angry at the soldiers as it is obvious they are ignorant of which is which

6digitscomrade:
lol...that animal u are trivializing has one of the world's fasted biting force alongside the Tasmania devil...Those canines grinds bones within seconds..

you are talking about the spotted hyena not the stripped hyena that is killed here

KingKingKing:
Don't be sily!

Zenith bank isn't tribaliatic hence their good standing!

Diamond is what it is today cuz of how greedy nd tribalistic dey are... The only bank "CEod" from the other side doing so well is Zenith,

And your claim that is the biggest can still be argued

kids everywhere..I guess fidelity is 'ceod' by your uncle

Avedonn:
Since when did belching cream becomes in legal in this country?

i tire

shadyLP:
Augustine Chidi who warned importers to desist from bringing in illicit drugs, as it affects the health of the youth and tease them into criminal acts, stated that the arrested suspects linked to the 13 containers of Tramadol and Bleaching Creams would be made to face the wrath of the law.
Illicit drug??

Tramadol is not an illicit drug..
Nobi person wey wey dey sick dey take drugs??
its only meant for the sick patients who needs it.. the only problem is d regulations and how it's been consumed by the useless wasted idiots who don't appreciate their good health conditions..

i dont understand the country any longer..are we operating on a moral level or legal level?i thought it was codeine that was banned?so what is it with tramadol now?have they banned bleaching creams? the way we do things here is funny as hell

i don get it has bleaching creams being banned?

You expect me to know every hole in Nigeria?

ok enjoy

aguiyi2:
And where the Bleep is Ibaka?

if you do not know then i wonder why you are arguing

this otamiri is still doing its thing ?swam there back then and there was always this palpable fear that something can happen after several incidents before and back then

aguiyi2:
Have bothered to check the haulage distance between Aba and Calaber on one hand and between Aba and Onne on the other hand?.Which importer will not want to cut haulage cost?

calabar or the one we are talking about in ibaka?

Blue3k2:
The port is supposed to be ready 2021. Lekki port is also going to ready before Ibom anyway.

construction starts from tentatively 2021 from the article

Esusustuffs:
You guys don't seem to know anything about shipping business. That area is very notorious for piracy,kidnappings and militant activities. This will make shipping insurance cost very high. The same way people talked about calabar free trade zone back then.
Upon all the noise and investments, ships don't come anymore. The cost of shipping 40ft container from US to Lagos is about $1500 while from US to Calabar is about $4500. Ask me why, it is because of the high level of piracy in that particular side of the Gulf of Guinea that makes the insurance cost shoot up.The same area Ibom deep sea port will be located.
Make your area safe so that investments will come to avoid divestment.

this seems like absolving the govt of its responsiblity..not like there was any issues with militancy or the likes in the 70s,80,and early 90s

aguiyi2:
I will really love to know who will patronize the Port?.Getting cargos from Onne port makes more sense to a south easterner while hoping for a lighter port in Onitsha.

guy open your mind..so aba is not in the sounth east?is onne a deep sea port like apapa?

Vicboi1:

Xander85:
Just imagine!

there has been a whatsapp message spreading for 2 days now that rochas and his son in law have put properties they acquired or built from proceeds of embezzlement in certain parts of owerri and environs on sale after realizing the uche nwosu guber candidacy can no longer sail through...I initially waved it aside but it seems it it true judging from that tweet and some other info I got today

imagine

Vicboi1:
Honestly speaking ROCHAS doesn't love imolites imagine destroying a solid drainage to build this

where is this?
