Abagworo: From skyscrapercity.

quite frankly their is no need this.

sheyguy: The Remix of Reality ! ! ! . . . . . . . . . . . . Gbagaun!
Maybe . . . . Maybe not

when substance is lost desperation brings about clutching at straws

sheyguy: how come Igbos on NL never acknowledge those other guys you 've suddenly remember now? Before now it used to Rochas and Ojukwu. . . How come the sudden U-Turn in who and who is a past heroes or outsanding Leader

and you see the reason i call you ignorant?so they should be shouting dee sam amd okpara up and down like their lives depended on it right?maybe if had an open mind you probably would have seen their name in passing in some threads.

Okija_juju: ekwesili e ma na Anuofia a'nwa na pko onwe ya Rick Ross bu ezigbo nnuku apka Amu da ibi..

Anambra state na Imo aburo ogbo na ife obuna.. Biko gba chie ya nkiti. Even Aba ka Owerri mma..

yes o

cretin like thinking lol.at least you are coming out of your shell which is good.

sheyguy: So what happens when the host community of the traveller is always churning out reformed visitors ? . . . Wouldn't it be more fair to say the positives of the host community out weighs its negatives? Hmmm?

ermm.. you do not give what you do not have.if an environment is churning out so called reformed people nay leaders then it would simply defy logic if the indigenes of that community on getting to leadership do not show the same traits.

sheyguy: The attack on my person deepens after some unbearable silence . . . It took him some time to come up with his weak aarse reply and when the reply did come, i could easily tell what he was going through . . . Mental torture.
Again, the thread seeks to exploit the common traits of the relatively performing leaders of the South East in a bid to harness more Good Leaders for that region. SE is not a tribe and should not be treated as the opposite of any tribe . . . . Getting personal will only expose you more.

and the usual 'igbo thread' troll reels out the usual ignorance again.

he said rochas and ojukwu till now and you wonder whether dee sam mbakwe and m.i.okpara never existed

pure unadulterated ignorance.


as for nduchuks if you know the level of deprivation and abject poverty your leaders up north have inflicted on the talakwas up north you would be more worried on how to castrate former(except ahmadu bello) and existing northern leaders

chino11: Ofcos, we don't need any of you to achieve anything. That is why we are monolithic. Anambra man can go all the hog to get all that he needs, that is why all the great names Nigeria can boost of are mostly from Anambra state.

hehe cementing the ignorance i was talking about you do not even know what i meant and you jumped in as usual.

chino11: I don't care where you are related to, the fact is that we Anambrans are not in any way related to any part of imo state. All of you in that imo state, whether owerre, njaba, orlu, ikeduru you people are same and one people, we Anambra people has nothing in common with you lot. We are a monolithic state in the SE.

this guy is pure ignorance lol

Okija_juju: My brothers.. No need for all this na..

This mess is not necessary..

Nwanne ka anyi ncha bu..

i guess you probably should have thought of that when you 'entered' imo peeps instead on focusing on rochas.


btw i the thread is approaching 8 pages

One_Naira: @ the dudu negro opc punk

^^ ^ either you have a reading problem or you are dumb the core. Someone brought out an article where the group in question (i.e: ohaneze ndi igbo of kano) commented they weren't involved in the protest neither did they send anyone to represent them in the protest yet your ridiculous sef can't even spare us with your stupidity and read that small article.

Some people love displaying their ignorance. awo free education in full display. Clap for yourself sha, you won the award. Ignorant man of the year. Clap sha, clap wellu wellu

someone is obviously playing a fast one.imagine carrying ofor to a protest march and involving kids.who are they trying to deceive?

ndu_chucks: Continue to deceive yourself. These are Igbo muslims who live in Kano and their participation in this protest may be a good move to purchase good will which can be cashed in whenever there is an uprising against igbos in the area.

talking trash as usual good will indeed that they have to dress in a an attire that is strictly cultural for a demonstration.

The Muslim Protest in Kano

The Ohaneze Ndigbo Kano State chapter has distanced themselves from what it termed a mischievious attempt by persons in Kano State to use the name of Ohaneze Ndigbo to achieve a criminal objective.

Today, September 22, 2012, a group of Muslims protested in Kano against the American film that depicted the Prophet Mohammed [SAW[ in a negative light.

The President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Kano State Chapter, Chief Tobias Idika in reacting to the protest rally held by Muslims in Kano over the film on Prophet Mohammed [SAW] told 247ureports.com- that a group of persons dressed in Ohaneze regalia joined the protest match [see picture above] carrying placards indicating that Ohaneze Ndigbo Kano had sent them on the match. The group held placards stating “Ohaneze Ndigbo na sopulu Mohammed“.

Chief Idika was quick to distance the kano state chapter from the actions of the group claiming be from Ohaneze. The Ohaneze Ndigbo Kano State chapter president made it clear that he was not aware of the said protest. “We have no part in this"

rafhell: something is definitely wrong about those pixs.
those guys ain't igbos. some of them are corpers pretending to be igbos. check their shoe

that is why i earlier wrote this

1)if they are really igbos why would they have to dress like that for a demonstration that would likely lead to a confrontation or outright riot?to prove what?is it a cultural display huh?to even think they even carried ofor [/b]to a possible riot?who are they deceiving?

2)with the crises going on in the north ie boko haram and the caualties that have affected the igbo population there [b]it would be foolish to join majority northern individuals for this kind of religous demonstration in which igbos often are even main targets in the north.


somebody must be really pulling a fast one here

ndu_chucks: Our Kano indigenes of Igbo etraction are represented in this protest.

I await the spin which our very own Eze Ndigbo Gburubguru of NL, Onlytruthprotester, will put on this one. Igbo Kwueze nu!!

Anti-Islam Film Protesters Burn US Flag In Kano
Posted: September 22, 2012 - 18:30
By SaharaReporters, New York

A large crowd of protesters took over Kano streets earlier today to protest the US made low budget film that portrayed Prophet Mohammed in a bad light.

The rally which began in the Fagge area of Kano was organized by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, a pro-Iran shite group.

The protesters sang anti-US and Isreali songs while marching through the city of Kano from a mosque in Fagge eventually ending the protest at the palace of the Emir Kano where they burnt the American flag before dispersing peacefully.

Heavily armed Nigerian troops kept a watchful eye on the protesters throughout the march.

ULSHERLAN: Ebute metta west used to be very peaceful before only God knows what has come over the youths living there

joblessness,gangsterism and turf wars.

Three killed in Ebute-Metta gang wars
Residents estimated that over ten youths have died in gang fights in the area since last year
Article | September 21, 2012 - 9:15am | By Patience Ogbo

Three persons have been allegedly killed at Ebute-Metta in the last two days by gang members fighting for supremacy.

The latest casualty was a student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, identified as 'D1', Dayo Olaniyi.

Residents said the gang war in the area took a frightening dimension on Thursday, when a gang known as 'Otto boyz' went on rampage in reprisal for the alleged killing of some of their members.

Olaniyi, 26, was allegedly killed in retaliation for the gruesome killing of Akeem Omisore and Wasiu Alarape, on Wednesday.

"D1 belonged to a rival gang known as the Apapa Road Fagbayimu group. The two gangs have been at logger heads over the control of petty business parks, transport and traders unions at Ebute-Metta; the killing is a show of supremacy by the gangs," a resident who requested anonymity said.

It was gathered that the gang members, numbering about 30 and clad in T-shirts and Jeans, stormed Moshood Abiola Way along Apapa Road, shooting indiscriminately.

They were also said to have been wielding machetes and other dangerous weapons.

Olaniyi was reportedly shot to death at Iya Agan Street in the area, while gang members escaped before the arrival of the police.

The gang war has however, thrown the four communities at Ebute-Metta into a state of panic as residents have also been caught in the clash in the past.

Some residents are said to have fled their homes, but meanwhile, a combined team of anti-riot police officers have been drafted to the scene to quell the violence.

It was gathered that the police presence has brought some calm to the area, but residents claim that the relative peace may not last considering the repeated experiences they have had with the warring gangs.

Agbodimu Musbau, Chairman of the Otto-Ilogbo Slum-dwellers Association, Mainland chapter, said that the ceaseless attacks by the gangs have become unbearable for the residents.

"We all appeal to the authority to come to our aid as the gangs are regrouping to cause further mayhem. Now that the police is after them they will calm down but in a few months, they will come out to retaliate the killing of their members," he said, adding the violence had continued in spite of community efforts to quell the crisis.

"And when this battle of supremacy starts, it is the residents that usually count loses of various valuables as they will smash vehicles' wind screens, loot shops, houses and attack passersby and residents. Anybody they see will be dealt with mercilessly."

Musbau said the gangs agreed on a ceasefire last year, following a meeting involving leaders of the community, the various warring factions, and the police.

According to Musbau, the factions involved were Lion Junction, Fagbayimu Boys, Otto Scorpion Joint, Otumara and Ayewa Boys.

"We identified the problems and a ceasefire was agreed. The police warned the leaders to maintain peace but the boys have started again," he said.

"The community is appealing to the State Security Service (SSS), Police and other security agencies to arrest the perpetrators of this violence and restore permanent peace to our area."

Residents estimated that over ten youths have died in gang fights, with property worth millions of naira destroyed at Ebute-Metta, since the violence started in August 2011.

ACM10: Majority of Owerri residents lives in old Owerri. It seems unplanned. I think they can do better. The traffic is something else. Moreover, tram and mono rail are too expensive for a government that is struggling to pay its workers. The options left are flyovers and expansion of roads. But, where are the spaces to accomodate these projects in old Owerri? Houses may have to be demolished to inorder to embark on such projects. And Rochas is well aware of its political consequence(s).

owerri is actually planned.it is just that it is getting over populated.you probably would not have said the same thing if you lived there in the eighties and ninties when go slow was rare in the town.

Pergrace: With the absence of Dana Air, Air Nigeria, Arik Air and Aero Contractors which is the last man standing is now in debt crises...Lord have mercy.
na road transport be the koko for now..

hit the road!

centje: rochas is serious on that. Work is on goin in orlu, same with some other satellite towns. he promised to transform okigwe,dnt no whether his magic stick has touched that part.

do you know of the towns in question?

Ejiné: I know right? The original masterplan was designed as a low-density city, similar to Atlanta. And just like Atlanta, this has led to an unbelievably large sprawl... But unlike Atlanta, the roads are taking more traffic than they should.
I think a railway system should be 'explored' for a place like Owerri.
I chose to use the word "explored" because I sabi say railway costs no be beans.

i actually think other parts of imo state should be developed to reducae the inlux of people into the owerri town.i do not know the government's plan on this?

PROUD-IGBO:
Another pic of the new model school being constructed:

is this one different from the earlier one you posted?i know that the one in township school is almost completed.

seriously ouk has been making a lot of noise lately.what is he up to?

hehe this thread go reach 8 pages. on a more serious note i do not think these(apart from maybe the school) are what the average man wants to see.

sleekcm: Let me just share this briefly. I took a bus from Aba to Lagos on Tuesday and there was a journalist who came on inspection/fact-finding mission to Abia State in that same bus. He made some mind-blowing revelations. I never knew the problem of Abia was that big. T.A Orji is a major reason why Abia is backwards but he isn't the only one. It was T.A who made Orji Uzor Kalu governor. He rigged him in - when he was Abia INEC chairman - or whatever they called it back then. It was T.A who introduced Orji Uzor Kalu to Okija Shrine things. T.A also taught Orji how to be mean. It's only natural that Orji Uzor Kalu had to show appreciation by rewarding him with Abia State for 4 years. Jonathan ensured he came back through massive rigging using the shameless traditional Ezes' in the state. Now, this journalist alleges that there is a list of about 150 prominent Nigerians that T.A Orji and his army of bandits pays monthly to keep quiet about what's happening in the state. Top on this list is no other than the first lady - Dame Patience Jonathan- who is paid an unbelievable #300million/month.
[b]
Abia State receives a monthly allocation of #6billion naira + IGR of #3billion [/b]but T.A and his government of touts shares it out among themselves and uses the rest to keep some people quiet. That's why it's almost impossible for him to undertake any meaningful capital project. Unless you count sharing Keke Napep among his party thugs!

Now this journalist also confirmed a story I've heard severally in Aba and swept it aside as a common rumour. T.A recently bought a ship but had some problems. He involved Orji Uzor Kalu to help secure the transaction by paying a LITTLE sum of #45billion into his account! Well Orji Uzor thanked his stars and banked the money! End of story! Money lost. No ship.

These are just some of the reasons why T.A Orji can never develop or construct the roads in Abia State. His government is a giant corruption circus, well backed by Jonathan and his wife.

These NBA Aba branch members were not just protesting against the state of roads in Aba but also against the arrest of a member who dared to write articles against the poor state of governance in the state. Trust T.A and his thugs, they quickly arrested him and accused him of trying to stir up the people against his government.

This journalist might have a very difficult task cos he appears alone in the fight to expose the decay in Abia State. His colleagues who came with him on this inspection were quickly bribed by T.A and awarded lucrative contracts to keep them shut. But he plans to involve the BBC and CNN to beam the story of Abia to the world s

hmmmm

only god knows what goes through the head of t a orji.chai!

Promolysis: abia pple are suffering 4 their ignorance, even the holy bible posit dat my pple perish cuz of ignorant. During the last election majority of dem are making fool of demselves dat dey can only cast ther vote 4 gej aftawhich dat wot eva t.a orji wnt 2 do he shud go ahead n do it

why would they have said that?don't they know that whoever is there governor has more impact on their lives that who is president?

katsumoto i think we have had this argument before.for us to have a restructuring of this country there has to be monumental crises of the nature of pre-67 or June 93 effect before it can happen.expecting political leaders existing within the present political structure to change it is like wishing pigs would fly.

Abagworo: Look at these pictures and tell me whether it wasn't Aba.

haven't you noticed that it seems to be one road you are posting here?

as for the topic too bad aba residents have to put up with this for 3 more years.

Disputed Anambra oil well: ACF joins fray, backs Kogi

Posted on Thursday, September 20th, 2012

•Photo: Peter Obi, Anambra state Governor

By Baba Negedu, Reporter, Kaduna

Apex northern socio-cultural organization, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has thrown its weight behind Kogi state in its quest to wrest the disputed oil well from Anambra state.

This was the hand of fellowship extended to the state when Kogi indigenes under the aegis of Network of Kogi State Associations (NOKSA) yesterday stormed the headquarters of ACF in Kaduna to press home their legitimacy of the oil they said was discovery in their community

The oil field is presently being contended by both Kogi and Anambra States.

ACF assured that it will support the people of Kogi State in the fight towards recovery of what legitimately belong to them and ensure that they become the 10th oil producing states in Nigeria.

The ACF Chairman Aliko Muhammed gave the assurance after the group made their presentation and position known on the oil deposit in Kogi state to the body.

NOKSA led by the coordinator Chief Umar Aku Goodman had told ACF that the oil wells are located in Ibaji local government area of Kogi State thereby debunking the claim by the Anambra State government.

He said President Goodluck Jonathan referring to Anambra State as the 10th oil producing state in Nigeria as opposed to Kogi state is very wrong and should be redressed.

According to the Kogi group, “it is on record that the said exploration activities leading to the successful access to the crude oil were carried out within the following communities in Ibaji local government area of Kogi State. These communities are Odeke, Ihile, Echeno, Anocha, Omale, Uchuchu and other communities in the local government area”.

The group also emphasized that Kogi State does not share boundary with Anambra State instead at a distance with Enugu State and wondered why Anambra State could jump over Enugu State to own location 1 of the oil well in Kogi State.

It also stated that, “aside the field tracing and demarcation, there exist a communiqué signed by the three respected Royal fathers representing the three States namely Kogi, Enugu and Anambra States as at 13th April 1994 which clearly indicated that the area where the oil wells are located belongs to Kogi State,”

The Kogi group therefore urged the ACF to examine critically the issues presented before them with a view to prevailing on the Federal Government to reconsider its stance and declare Kogi State as an oil producing state.

It also appealed to the northern umbrella group to reach out to all well meaning Nigerians and “most importantly President Jonathan to right the wrong which it said is a product of well calculated deception that is being perpetrated against Kogi State to create unnecessary tension”.

ACF in his remarks by the Chairman said, “certainly you can count on the support of the ACF in the respect of the Oil well, know that the boundary commission which is a Federal government commission knows the truth and everybody will rely on them, so if there is oil well in this place, everybody knows where it is, the local government, zone and so on.

“We will certainly support you and anything that is northern; we will ensure that it doesn’t go anywhere, part of the reason is the fact that the oil company is from Anambra State and the got the license. We will certainly work with you, support you and also make sure that nobody takes away the oil from the north.

“Other states have always said they are the one who have oil, now the north has oil and therefore the northerners are going to be considered as an oil state, be rest assures that we will support you and that your oil well cannot be taken away,” the ACF boss said.
