kernniejay: The fire trucks and personnel are only meant for taking photos and all the paparrazi to deceive people like Anambra10000thSon, after that they move the trucks back to where they belong and everybody goes back to their baby factories.
Nwanem take it easy on us. Our Anambra is a sh*th*le, don't make it worse. There was fire outbreak even as at yesterday. But these photoshopped fire fighting trucks were nowhere to be found.
Chino and his multiple handles here like , jcoleworld911 and the like are here defending nonsense.
Jogs1900: This Anambra state truck wasn't there yesterday. It was a federal fire service truck that was there. Still the same location. Anambra state fire service no try.
Jogs1900: Does it mean Anambra state can't maintain its fire service? There had been. two fire incidences in Onitsha this year, the first one, it was Delta state fire service that came to their rescue. The one that happened yesterday, it was the federal fire service that went there. What is Anambra fire service doing?
When I saw this mumu thread by chino this came to mind. He's here posting mumu pictures and chest beating with lies and dirty environment, while when the need arose it was Delta and FG fire trucks that came to the rescue.
Second, instead of wasting your time to write this long epistle, why not simply enunciate the projects that Awolowo sited in the Midwestern Province when they were under Western province let it be that it was only Yorubas that were in charge?
Again, is it not to Okpara’s credit that he saw every territory under the Old Eastern Region as Igboland which made him want to develop everywhere evenly?
Would you compare him to Awolowo who saw minority territories as not Yoruba land and therefore not worthy of being developed?
First of all I'm more Igbo than you are.
The deeds of Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello in their regions of control are well gazetted. I'm not here to spoon feed you, rather I'm here to burst the lies from empty chest beating fellows like you and the OP.
Calabar was a bigger city as at then than Port Harcourt which was only formed around 1912. So what stopped M. Okpara from doing these things in Calabar?
No, he only focused on Enugu which of course was the capital and located deep in Igboland. Then Port Harcourt which was growing at that time, also boosted by the discovery of crude oil in Oloibiri, with it's sea port already built by the British. So M. Okpara had no choice but to focus on Port Harcourt too, because it's under Owerri Province and as at this time the natives have been fully subdued by Igbos. So to him he's expanding Igboland.
Ask yourself why will an average Ikwerre detest being called Igbo? Why will an Etche man, even an Omuma man detest being called Igbo? Why will an Ogba man detest being called Igbo? Why don't Ogba people sell lands to Igbos? Why are we Igbos naturally careful around Ijaws? Why did Ojukwu immediately arrested Adaka Borro? Why don't you see threads on nairaland by people from Bayelsa & Rivers, Akwa Ibom & Cross River attaching themselves to the SE? Why is it only we Igbos opening threads on a daily basis to force a relationship that the other party is not showing any interest in?
maintenant: The load of baloney you just put up there just turned history on its head...
The north was the worse culprit in the marginalisation of minorities...
Read your history, Mr Fake Igboman...
The Middle Forum is probably the oldest minority political platform in the history of Nigeria so what are you talking about?
Southern Cameroon did not opt to leave Nigeria because of the ridiculous reasons you adduced but because they enetered into a kind of confederation with Francophone Cameroon with the option of seeking full independence after a short period of time...
The crisis in Ambazonia or Anglophone Cameroon today is an attempt by Anglophone Cameroon to call back the agreement that was reneged by Paul Biya in the 1980s...
Before you post these childish opinions, I suggest you do your research first...
The North was the worst culprit, yet Northern British Cameroon voted to join northern Nigeria because they felt they were treated fairly by the north.
The north was the worst culprit, but the north has been more united than the south since the onset of this country.
The north was the worst culprit, yet you don't see northerners opening threads everyday to force themselves on minority tribes of the north.
The North was the worst culprit, yet since the creation of this country voting pattern of the north has been uniform on average.
The north was the worst, yet the level of uprising by minority tribes against the majority has been overwhelming in the south as compared to the north.
The north was the worst, yet you'll never see a northerners insulting minority tribes of the north online and offline.
OP during the time of the Eastern region there was nothing like Port Harcourt Province. Port Harcourt was under Owerri Province. Okpara just like every average Igbo man felt he was developing Igboland.
Read and digest your info first before spewing trash on nairaland. Minorities were subdued especially after Nigeria gained her independence. Only the north treated her minorities fairly, hence their level of unity till date.
In the South all the minorities opted to leave. SW Cameroon eg Bamenda province, Mamfe province, Kumba province and Victoria province left the Eastern region to join Cameroon, because of oppression by the Igbos.
Midwest region left the Western region to be on their own based on the same feeling of oppression.
The Ijaws tried leaving the Eastern region, but Adaka Boro was arrested and jailed by Ojukwu and our Igbo grandparents.
During the civil war, the military president who was Gowon had to grant the minorities their wishes which weakened the strength of the Igbos.
So stop opening thread of lies. Even till date minorities have it worse in this country.
Building a hotel and an industrial layout does not mean Igbos were good to the minorities. Ask yourself who were the people working in the hotels? Igbos! Who were the people heading the affairs of the hotels? Igbos! What factories/companies were allowed to operate in the industrial layout? Igbo owned.
Or you want to tell us that the Yorubas and the Hausas never built any meaningful infrastructure in areas of their minorities? Then you lie....
shortgun: Tinubu simply doesn't have what it takes to lead this country.
Tinubu snubbed and humiliated over 300 ably qualified military generals to appoint their junior all because he wants someone from his ethnic group in position.
Other presidents before him appointed Service chiefs and CDS from other tribes according to seniority. Tinubu is a bigot
Odibembem: U are wrong, SS and SE have never been one right from time. We in Midwest axis of Edo and Delta were with d Western Region till 1963, we were never with Eastern Region. CRivers, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa were only with Eastern Region when d Richards constitution divided Nigeria to regions in 1946, before then they were separate on their own. The SW after d creation of MidWest stopped making claims to MidWest, why is d SE still claiming SS? Intermarriage is not perculiar bw SS and SE, lots of intermarriage also bw SS and SW. If u want to be subsumed and subservient to d SE, that's your business but no true son of his father would allow his identity to be subsumed by another no matter how small maybe. In Delta d Itsekiris are very small in population but they would never subsume themselves under Urhobos or Ijaws or Yorubas who are close to them. Learn to stand and maintain your identity. There are Fulanis in NC and NE but u never hear NW claiming that NC and NE does not exist. It is sacrilege for a Berom man from Plateau or Tivi man from Benue to claim that cos they were all once in Northern Region, that they are same with NW and that NW should come and subsume their identity. Sacrilege!
The way my Igbo people keep attaching to the SS is sickening. Before 1946 we had only northern Nigeria and southern Nigeria. After then we had 3 regions, then by 1963 it became 4 and finally in 1967 states were created.
Everything was created out of something. Midwest was created out of the Western region. Bayelsa/Rivers & Akwa Ibom/Cross Rivers were created out of the Eastern region. Others region have moved on, but our people of the SE don't want to move on.
complexstuffs: Beggi Beggi SE have been begging to form friendship with SS for years.
SS have every reason not to want to associate with SE because SE love is fake. SS have natural resources including oil, and SS can access the sea unlike landlocked SE.
SE are Conny and dubious people who are only interested in getting their hands on the resources of SS and dominating SS
The begging from my people is sickening. Most of my people can't go a day without thinking of the SS. People that don't give a damn about us.
Sharap there, didn't you see were Orji Uzor Kalu was weeping in public after Ohaneze Ndigbo asked SE Senators to support Akpabio and not him, Akpabio received 💯% SE Senators votes
Tell this to the kids... My Igbo people voted for Yari. The list is there.
proeast: I'm trying to understand if your problem is ignorance or just mischief. Kaduna has no business building seaport because it's completely landlocked.
Edo is building a seaport because it's very close to Atlantic and thus will be viable. Abia can also build a viable seaport because it's even better positioned than Edo.
The Imo river in question is not under the control of any particular state because it forms a boundary between three states.
Policing our waterways is done by the federal government.
Do you still want to continue being myopic?
Your problem is worse than ignorance. How much federal government presence do you see in the creeks? Abi na wetin Dem write for book dey fool you.
It's sad but no port built in the SE today will be viable. Only Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom or Cross River can build a viable sea port if they truly want to do it.
I'm done with your ignorance. All you've been writing is just wishful nonsense. We Igbos better start using our brains and start building lasting bridges with our southern neighbors, instead of this empty chest beating you are doing.
proeast: Are you aware that Edo state is building Gelegele seaport?
Are you aware that Edo state has no maritime boundary with Atlantic ocean, they would have to pass through Delta state before arriving Atlantic ocean?
Which bilateral agreement did Edo state sign with Delta state?
Are you aware that Imo river forms a boundary between Rivers, Abia and Akwa Ibom state? And it's only a mere 18 miles from Obuaku to Atlantic ocean?
Abia state only needs permission from federal government since building ports is on exclusive list.
Below is the map of Nigeria showing states, so compare Abia with Edo and gain knowledge.
Are you aware that for Edo or even Kaduna to build a port they must have done feasibility studies which includes an agreement with the FG and other states where their vessels may pass through?
Are you aware than Obuaku has no direct access to the sea, rather just has access to Imo river that empties into the sea via the waterways of Opobo and Eastern Obolo which are in Rivers and Akwa Ibom respectively.
Abi you wan tell another man how to police em own waters?
Go ask transport companies that run interstate and the difference fees/charges they pay to the different states their buses pass through.
proeast: Okay, you now accept that Abia state can build a sea port just like Lagos, Rivers, Akwa Ibom etc. So, what is disgrace again?
Or you can't help being bitter at that realization?
The disgrace is you writing that ports in Imo and Anambra(which I can see you've edited the topic and excluded Anambra which as at early this morning was there) states are closer to the Atlantic than PH port and Onne port.
That's a lie from the pit of hell. Even the northernmost part of PHC is way more southern than the southern most part of anywhere in Imo or Anambra. Not to talk of Onne.
proeast: Okay, you now accept that Abia state can build a sea port just like Lagos, Rivers, Akwa Ibom etc. So, what is disgrace again?
Or you can't help being bitter at that realization?
Abia state just like Niger, Kogi or Benue state can build a River Port. These states just like Abia has no direct access to the sea, rather through a river channel that crosses through other states before emptying into the sea.
For Abia to build a port they must have bilateral agreement with the states and communities that have direct access to the sea, in this case Rivers and Akwa Ibom. Because whatever vessel that's going to Abia must pass through the parts of Imo river that's bounded by Rivers and Akwa Ibom. If these 2 areas decides to make the channel unsafe, Abia will be left at the mercy of either the FG or the governors of those 2 states.
proeast: Study the two maps below critically. You will see that Obuaku is at the southern tip of Abia state, at the boundary between Abia, Akwa Ibom and Rivers.
The Imo river that flows from it is what forms the boundary between these states. This section is closer than both Onne and P.H port to Atlantic ocean.
Did you see me mentioning Abia? I'm talking of Imo and Anambra.
