E be lyk say u still dey read King James, no insult intended

well i know i read such style of books including shakespare. okay let us forget about the grammar thing

musKeeto:
Lmao. You are corruption and dishonesty with account, 

mscheew
The Governor took the decision becos the operators are corruption and dishonesty with account.

The Governor took the decision because/becos the operators are corrupt and dishonest in handling the accounts.

i already know that the second statement is what the critics are thinking the GWSLIM ought to have written(maybe that is what he intended to write) but i know i have seen such style of writing and speeches in books before.people who did english language as a course in university have what they call that sort of statement.

Otu nne:
i dont ve any link now, but if u know orlu and owerri very well, i can help u by listing some of the road projects that i ve seen.

i do not know orlu well but i know owerri like the back of my hand as i grew up there.

i am still suprised people still think GWslim's statement is wrong grammar(apart from the becos)

i just watched channels tv where the governor was touring road projects in okigwe and the reporter said he awarded contracts for repair of 100 roads and contruction of 42 new ones.this must cost a lot of money.

is there any link to where i can get the list of road projects going on?

Abeg no make matters worse

see i might be wrong but i still do not see much wrong in it unless it is the 'becos' people are looking at.

GWslim:

i do not see anything wrong with this statement though.at first glance it looks like nonsense grammar but it seems like someone saying something like 'those people are wolves in sheep clothing'.

emmke i simply meant they cannot survive there because your people have to be recongnised in a kind of business easterners are not into to survive there like the numerous hausas there.

Otu nne:
well itc has not been sold, but given to a private transport consultants to manage, for more productivity. I cant believe that itc remits less than 10mn to the state govt monthly.

Areosapien:
As we have all come to see from past efforts by Nigeria's government, Federal/State-owned revenue generating facilities usually suffer from poor maintenance as well as epic embezzlement.
For this reason, just like Ada Palm, ITC has been assigned to a private foreign company to manage properly. The company's serious neglect from previous administrations sha. Hope it resurrects with this new development.

i know how government run enterprises are run ineptly but my questions are

what is the name of the firm that has been assigned to run it?

what is its reputation?

is there a law to back it?

emmke:
Gowon your people love u. We are with u cos we understand your actions in the 60's. Now to all those shouting plateau people are killed on a daily basis, ah, u dont know what u saying. Dont have time to explain all that is happening here, but tons of your brothers are still here. And i bet u would hardly find a plateau man in the east, except on national duty. Simply means your brothers still find here more livable and we know our plateau is just too beautiful. We are fighting and we aint losing, a more reason why your igbo peeps are still hanging around. If we are losing, they'd have fled long ago. Plateau man through and through

cannot really survive there so is expected.

i am not sure about this story i just heard but is it true that ITC has been sold? Can Imo people here confirm this?

ib55:
follow the link and pls tel me if what this man did can be justified. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

what is in the link you want me to see?

you are using wikipedia  on something as serious as this 

infact if you are serious go and read about the war.

ib55:
ïm serious. just tel me what caused him to declare a republic Biafra in summary.

you seem to be genuine.

ojukwu was governor general of the then eastern region(i hope you know the states that comprised of this) in 1966 after the first coup and counter coup(i hope you know about these 2 incidents).

there was a pogrom of southerners in the north mainly igbos in may 1966 by northeren civilians who were not happy about what happened in the first coup.

most igbos fled the progroms in the north back to the east.ojukwu secured them then but he later sent them back to the north when gowon gave him assurance the assurance that nothing will happen to them again.the igbos went back only to witness another set of progroms.

ojukwu angry at this had to meet with other governors of other regions on what the future of nigeria should be.the meeting was held in aburi ghana as no where in nigeris at that time was considered safe.

after the meeting in aburi ghana and agreements reached,gowon reneged on the agreements on coming into nigeria.ojukwu then no longer trusted the nigerians state hence the declaration of biafra.

note: this is only a summary.some salient and root issues are left out due to time.

ib55:
educate me pls? dont hv time to google

sorry do not have time to type 2 pages.if you are really serious to find out you will.

ib55:
Abeg help me understand this!He was born in the northern part of Nigeria, and had his early education in the western part.After all this he wanted to divide the nation!

you seem not to know the history of what led to that civil war.goggle is your friend.

Akan:
My only spite with Ojukwu (and may his sul rest in peace) is him having to dump General Effiong in the sh.it.That was not cool and Akwa Ibomites should learn never to trust the Igbos.

the military command in the biafra then actually encouraged ojukwu to escape including your effiong. go and read about the ending days of the war.

19 pages already on ojukwu?i just knew it.

very funny gorilla like 2 chest beaters

ezeagu:
Why the would that be a joke?

Ha gbaliala, let them not complain when their kids turn Boko Haram and Al Qaeda or is it Hezbollah and Mujahadeen. In fact are they also in the Bermuda circle, the fountain of youth and at the Holy Grail?

if you can find them in chad and burkina faso why do you think they would not be found in niger?

ezeagu:
What the are Igbo people doing in Niger republic?

is this supposed to be a joke?

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=811499.msg9633509#msg9633509 date=1322257090]@Onlytruth, you are completely free to express your opinion. Unlike you, however, I will not jump into any conclusion about your motives for expressing the said opinion. It suffices to say here that  Ahmed Ezimakor is Igbo and belongs to a terrorist group, fullstop.

To equate all Christians or Muslims with the extremists among those religions is at the very least narrow minded, bigotted and dumb. When another Eziimakor, bombs one of your Abriba villages, you'll realize that we have a common enemy. olodo

#Relax101, I read it, lets hope Onlylies did the same.[/quote]who is the common enemy?

aba has not always been a dirty place.

maybe tinubu has had her wife in mind when saying this.not sure t a orji will agree with him

wesley80:
^^ Maybe "found" isnt the right term I give u that, but you're yet to convince me Abohs influence was not that overpowering that your kinsmen thot it appropriate to name a huge administrative district over a small town along the Niger. Whichever way u choose to look at it, your ancestors were awed by a certain "Aboh" people and I can only think of one!

high level of self deceit mixed with delusion of the highest other. 

the bolded alone  shows how highly ignorant of the people on the other side of the niger 

yes mbaise people were awed by the great and the mighty aboh kingdom they probably started knowing by reading articles in 80s. 

i seriously need the number of your weed man

Bamaguje:
Warning: this post is filled with self-deprecation and it could be depressing for anyone who read, this is nothing but flat-out honesty

Im going to talk about my difficulties in relationship with females, since im anonymous and nobody knows me, so if you gonna make fun of me or whatever then do so if it makes you feel better because i wont even pay attention to you but at least im admitting that i have a problem

Before, i used to bleep ashawos wherever i go, im not going to say how long but its been quite a long time that i have been doing so until recently one day a condom burst and i was worried that i might get AIDS,so i went to the general hospital for HIV test which fortunately for me its free compared to western countries which i was told its expensive.For two days i have been filled with fear over the possibility of getting one, i did my silent prayer before i went there in the morning and checked for the result, to my relief it was NEGATIVE.It happen 4 years ago

Ever since i never bleep ashawo again,not only because of that but because there is no satisfaction,you may enjoy it but in most cases she wont as because to her its just a job, and dont get me started on how they will be rushing you to precipitate, i mean WTH how do you expect me to precipitate faster by constantly bugging me every minute from the time we start, its quite annoying and i feel like slapping one of them whenever they do that.I prefer to make love to a woman that im in sync with, someone who enjoys it as well as i do which made me to try dating but my experience has been a failure, i have been rejected in many ways, worse some girls were just after my money by deceiving me of taking them to fast food joints to feed their hungry stomachs or buy some stuff for them(which i never did),some were fooled by my looks only to find out there is nothing they like about me which even offends me most, i got to a point after Being Intimate with a girl, she then told me she has a boyfriend but she is breaking up with him to be with me which made me reject her later on because i dont trust cheating women. It kept goin on and on, i cant even count how many times i got rejected, i felt like the ugliest person in campus

Until one day i met this girl who i loved her very much and likewise, if you see the way this girl is tripping over me you will think that i have cast a spell on her but later on as she start seeing the real me and doesnt like what she sees, she started playing games with me by bringing another Man into the picture and that was what made things worse. silly me i got extremely jealous and made a complete fool of myself that im even regretting for falling in love with her in the first place, i should have just walked out of the relationship and move on.tbh i was hurt really bad and it was such an emotional draining experience

It was at this point that im starting to believe that im incapable of having relationship or talking to females for that matter since i cant even relate with my sisters,even if im rich, i doubt if that will help and at the end i may likely attract Gold diggers. I decided to quit chasing and focus on what matters to me most in Life since i only got one to live, if Konji catch me i will either self-service or bleep Ashawo/Escort with at least 2k to enjoy the night. Its cheaper than taking a girl out to restaurant or joint who will just suck you dry and live you without even holding her hands because all this relationship wahala can be draining and tiring so im leaving it to fate. Being Single and not interested in relationship is best for me at stage of my life.

Lately, there is this girl in University that is expressing interest(if there is one thing i know am good at, is knowing if a girl is interested in me), she's nice and i like her as a person but due to my experience im not really interested in pursuing her and im thinking of keeping a distance from her because im having trust issues.

Yup, thats the story of my life, I suck when it comes to women. If you have read the whole thing then i applaud you for having the patience ad time to do so, Thank you.

errm . . .have you tried men?
