honestly though education has to reviewed in the country

Archangel15:
Each continent has its own style of play, Western Africans are very muscular and energetic but less tactical, Eastern Europeans are defensively disciplined and play a lot of team football. Western Europeans are tactical and play with flair, North Africans are very fast on the ball.

tbh honest if we are to go strictly on this parameter then we should be playing Serbia not Poland since Serbia and Croatia were formerly part of the then Yugoslavia .

abescom:
We play France and Poland coupled with the afcon, nice preparation for the eagles this time which is good.

Hope the friendlies don't get cancelled though.

no afcon before world cup and there hasn't been any scheduled friendly with France yet

Join us next week as we commission our latest housing Estate in Enugu, made up of 120 housing units. Infrastructural work is 98% completed as @ 31/11/2017

your company should consider the greenery of their estates and not having them look like concrete jungle.

Duru1:
Do you think what you said and thought really matter in human nature? Most idiotic Nigerians tend to take themselves too seriously. Who gives a ratass if anything is cult or not. Is there any cult in the world bigger than religion?

you guys have lost the plot if you don't know but continue

justmevon:
The project itself started 10 years ago but as of now, shell has acquired the land and compensation is being paid to land owners, so by january construction should commence...

is this from a right source?

nanizle:
Do want me to start mentioning some of the atrocities committed by deeply religions groups? Including the Roman Catholic Church? Isis? Boko haram? Al Qaeda?

Hint: It completely dwarfs and completely overwhelms the 'suicide stat' you just mentioned.

Even the God for bible dey commit mass murder.

Guy... Let's not go there cos you sef go fear.

funny the guy refused to acknowledge that the countries with the highest atheists per head of their population also have the highest standard of living..Denmark,Sweden,Norway

TheKingdom:
2 things:

Well 3,

1: I like Phyno and Flavour and dem

2: If these people, those in the crowd particularly, used this same energy to protest against their crying and weak governor and governors, then maybe that airport would have been "International" by now, and someone would have asked about the whereabouts on Kanu, or probe the medical bills for Ekwueme.

3. That stadium, Zik stadium, is so poor and outdated, that it is a pity to even be using it for anything

not sure what kanu is doing in this your assertions but i agree with others

mangood74:
follow JESUS not phyno biko nu umu igbo

funny statement

spyder880:
From Nenwe , yesterday evening.

is it road construction?

cjrane:
Please those in Owerri,
What happened to the promising Aladinma Mall? I have never heard anything useful of it since 2011.
Does it have any international anchor as SPAR or SHOPRITE? Does it have any notable restaurant of event center? Was the exterior and parking lot area ever beautified with palm trees etc to create an ambient shopping environment and make the place alluring?

Is it even still functional? If not what happened? If so, why can't it modernize and attract anchors to help boost it's reputation as a true mall? It is one of the biggest malls in Nigeria, so what happened to it? Does it lack proper central air-conditioning ? Is it priced too expensive for anchors and local boutiques to find it attractive?

The location of the Mall was very poorly thought out. However, Is the road to the place even tarred to make it accessible to the public? The Aladinma Hospital road must be well tarred or even dualized and the Ngwa road connecting the Mall to Aladinma hospital road must also be well tarred with sidewalks & gutters on both sides.
Is electricity connected to the place? Does it have borehole facilities to keep the toilets clean? Please somebody should update on this potentially great mall

mall is not fuctioning..only the hall is being used as a reception for weddings

Abagworo:
One of the new markets built for the Douglas traders to relocate.

will cause traffic around fire service and increase traffic around relief market road

Abagworo:
Okorocha today inducted over 3000 newly employed graduates into Imo State civil service.

lmao it is finished

senatordave1:
This is magnanimous from owelle.this is what governors should be doing,sharing our commonwealth together not them embezzling them in the name of phoney projects and useless skill acquisition/empowerment schemes.i wonder why imolites hate rochas upon all the goodies hes doing unlike other governors.i think he should do more by sharing more money to thousands of imolites instead of amassing the wealth alone.up apc,up owelle

you do not know anything about govt if you feel this good...and no i don't advocate governors to embezzle money

senatordave1:
Please dont misunderstand me not arguing ibo population and migration.but let me add that being ubiquitous and conspicuous doesnt make one the most numerous ethnicity if not the jews and the israelites would be the most numerous groups.meanwhile,i think that the ibos are the 2nd largest tribe in the country

i was referring to your thought about no way population of a group would be more outside their hometowns than in their hometowns except the Jews..i can bet you population of ozubulu people you were using as argument would be more outside ozubulu if you combine the ones living in lagos,kano,ph and abuja alone..migratory patterns of igbos tend towards more economic buoyant centers so abagworo was right in what he said..heck even if it is onitsha or aba a native of these places would not think twice to migrate to somewhere less economically vibrant if his pocket is going to get bigger than remaining in onitsha or aba.

senatordave1:
Sir abagworo,i am one of your ardent admirers and followers.i dont want to argue with you based on my fervour towards you but i must.how can all the natives of ekwusigo be 400,000 worldwide when much of its present population is non indigenous and all ibos commonly state that 40 to 50% of ibos are outside their homeland.no place in this world can have more of its native population outside than at home(except israelis,jews) except war torn countries.i will agree with your earlier assertion that anambra and imo have the highest natives only in southern nigeria but that doesnt make the south more populated than the north indigenously or otherwise.kano,katsina,kaduna,borno,niger,bauchi,benue has more natives than anambra.even akwa ibom,oyo,delta,osun,edo,ogun rival anambra and imo

i dont think you understand igbo migratory patterns

funny how some peeps believe ethnic slurs started from east..if not i have been here since 2008 i probably might have believed that too

Imo abandons 26 hospital projects

Imo abandons 26 hospital projects

Three years since Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha began the construction of what he called “world class hospitals” in all the state’s 27 local government areas, only one of them has been completed while all the others are uncompleted, unequipped and abandoned at various stages, according to a report of the Eastern Nigeria Governance Tour by development consultant Bamikole Oluwafemi Adeleye.

Bamikole Adeleye is a researcher, social advocate and active citizen working with a coalition of other active Nigerians in a Citizen Governance & Media Advocacy Programme (CGMAP).

While launching the projects in 2014, the report said, Governor Okorocha promised that all the hospitals will be completed and made fully functional by January 2015. But a recent tour of the project sites showed that only the Airforce Hospital in Owerri North has been completed. The General Hospital at Aboh Mbaise, which serves three local governments, is abandoned. The report said “Njaba hospital has no equipment, no gate, is not functional and has bushes all over the yard.” The good governance tour found the same situation at Orlu, Nkwerre, Ahiazu and Ikeduru. At Ahiazu, the report said the main general hospital was demolished by Okorocha’s government to make way for a timber market but the new one being built to replace it has been abandoned with bushes all over the site.

The report said the uncompleted or abandoned hospital projects have cost the state dearly because billions of naira was sunk into them but citizens have not reaped any benefits. The report also noted that construction of new hospitals was embarked upon even though Imo State’s existing general hospitals have no access to clean water or regular power supply and they suffer from an acute shortage of medical personnel.

According to the report, Okorocha launched a “Free Health For all” program in 2014, with pomp and fanfare. Under the program, he promised the treatment of aged citizens at no cost, improvement of medical services in the state and upgrading of health facilities. Three years afterwards, the report said respondents in all local governments surveyed said there is “no improvement in the employment of quality workforce,” that quality of service in the hospitals have declined and that out-patient services for citizens are very expensive. The report described the decision to set up the new hospitals as “impractical, wasteful, and not based on sound policy qualities (e.g. technical efficiency, equitable distribution of health welfare or allocative efficiency).”

When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Okorocha, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, said four of the projects have been completed, equipped, and handed over to the Army, Navy, and Police. He did not say why others have not been completed.

Onwuemeodo said: “All those telling you lies about the Imo State government should go and repent. I am talking to you not just as the Chief Press Secretary to His Excellency, the governor of Imo State, but also as a child of God. The PDP ruled this state for 16 years but they used the state funds to organise parties and merriment. Today, we are talking of Governor Okorocha’s administration that has completed over 1000 projects, and you are there listening to people telling lies against the government.”

Incredibleme:
I have read his profile online and it is very impressive, he is a trained economist. If he happens to be the next governor I just hope he is not going to be a boy-boy to rochas and other politicians or be intimidated due to his age. However, the decision lies on the electorates, there might be someone better than him. Its good the younger generation put those old men in their place (as advisers).

that is the real issue

Abagworo:
Who knows the profile of this man? His name is Ebere Uneze.

forseeing a showdown btw ararume and rochas because of this man

Schematics:
Ash80, your parents or someone dear to you shall die in 1 week time if nonsobaba is neither schematics nor chino. Say amen if you are so SURE of what you just said. I think that will settle the identity crisis once and for once


[s][/s]

parents already dead..try harder

funny how people do not know nonsobaba is the same as schematics and the same as chino

Ifebazz:
It therefore means that that African who claimed to have scored a hundred + goals in one calendar year is true. Would you also document those 66 + goals were scored in one match in a Nigerian league? I don't doubt them much but documentation and unofficial games should be well stated.

romario played in the 80s and 90s so i dont think documentation was an issue then compared to 40s and 50s

Mckandre:
not sure if that bird is black sef, if ve seen the bird up close u will see its dark brown.

you are right it is actually dark brown with yellow beak

dyn1800:
incomplete info.... how on earth Romario did not make the list with 772 career goals

look well romario is on the list

Ifebazz:
Bros, that time strikers dey hide for back of keeper, collect ball for hin hand score. No offside, no foul, nothing, just goal.

including the romario era abi?

Dindondin:
No. According to sports statistics, the quality of defenders in the Messi-Ronaldo era has improved a lot unlike the time of Pele & Arthur where there was no offside, defenders were less skillful, no standard tactics etc

actually defenders of this era are shit compared to defenders on the 80s and 90s..defenders of now are only faster but far less rugged and mean than their predecessors..moreover tackle from behind and sliding tackle were only outlawed after usa94 unlike before then when they were fair game

fatiaforreal:
1) African Grey parrots. In rivers(Ahoda),Bayelsa, Delta, and even Lagos(Unilag, Ikoyi, Railway compound, Military hospital tabs)
2) Senegalese parrot. In Lagos, you find them in all the places above in addition to Surulere, Luther, VI. They're far more widespread than the grey parrot.
3) Ring necked parakeet. They're the green parrots with long tail. They share environment with the Senegalese parrots.
4)Canaries (both yellow and the grey singing finch). They're abundant in the north but I've also seen few in Ikorodu in Lagos and in University of Benin.
5) Lizard basalt. It is aspecie of falcon. In Lagos, they specialize in snatching lizards from the walls and attacking birds in cages and those flying around.
6) African Fish Eagle. I saw one life in Ojo, Lagos, which is an area with forest and creeks.
7) Woodpecker.
Humming birds. Common in Lekki-Epe axis.
9) what about the elder brother of the laughing dove? It is grey with thick black line at the back of its neck. Yorubas call it Adaba while the laughing dove is called Odere
10)Weaver bird. Yellow with black on the wings and sometimes on the head

no 9 is called kpalakuku(named after its singing sound) in igbo

for no 5 is that the real name?

Dare2Try:
Well I've forgot the name but I know they do feed on monkey

well the harpy eagle is the largest eagle in south america and eats monkeys quite regularly so i guess it has to be it..it is the same eagle its talon is slightly longer than a grizzly bear's claw

Dare2Try:
Giant Eagle which is found in south America and Congo Brazzaville in Africa do carry monkey and one day to one year old babies

you mean the harpy eagle?

UrennaNkoli:
That laughing dove should be the most common in nigeria. They are everywhere

yeah i wondered why they wrote found mainly in semi deserts and scrubs when they are also numerous in southern nigeria that has thick vegetation too
