Lagos State, the only progressive state.

Sine Igbo start supporting fubara expect more bad news

MadPolitician:
He wanted the Niger Delta Republic? So what was he doing when he led Adekunle and the rest into the east through the creeks? To fight for the Niger Delta Republic or to to fight for one Nigeria? Folks moan about how Ironsi stopped Boro and all that, but when Boro had the best oppurtuinity to fight for his socalled Republic, ethnic vengeance and petty hatred beclouded his reasoning. He was more interested in decimating his perceived enemies, than in advancing his cause, and ended up being packed off to hell by the same "foreigners" he loved and fought hand in hand with, outt of hate for his neighbors. All his present followers haven't learnt either.

gidgiddy:
Lol

There no such thing as SS but a mere geographical expression. Grabbing several ethnic groups you have no connection with and calling them one fictional name 'SS' doesnt make them a people. Thats what Nigeria is, a land grabbing exercise since the days of the British till now

It's the Biafran agitator that wants referendum so that people can choose who they are, and where they want to belong

MadPolitician:
And then your type killed Ironsi because he arrested the January 15th coup plotters but waited for a looooooong time to put them on teials. A whoooooole 6 months without killing them. I bet if Boro was let loose by Ironsi without the trials and conviction, it would have been added to the reasons for which it was necessary to kill Ironsi. The same Ironsi that stopped the January 15th coup! Get this; When you're motivated by village hatred, your target will always be wrong, head or tail..

It was a joke, but Ojukwu arrested him and Ironsi sentenced him to death.

Anything done by others is a joke, but whatever yanmiri does is authentic

MadPolitician:
Can you tell us what and what they took to Enugu that were supposed to be in Portharcourt? I mean apart from things that were supposed to be in a regional capital. Road? Hospitals? Schools? Industrial layouts? Banks? I mentioned things that you didnt know were built by MI Okparas regional government. Mention things that were built in other parts of the southwest by Awo, apart from Ibadan. Mention things that were built in Borno, Gboko or Lokoja by Ahmadu Bello.

The truth though was that resources were not big then and the regional government post independence, lasted for just 5 years plus. Go and read former governor Donald Duke of Cross River state. He has said a lot about Okparas achievements in agriculture. MI Okpara might be the best regional governor of the first republic. But how would you agree? Your worldview revolves around Awo and Awo alone.

confusedlady:
Please provide a link showing that the Trans amadi industrial layout was conceived and built by Michael Okpara.
History on the contrary informs that the industrial layout was the brain child of Lord Frederick Lugard and Lord Harcourt in 1912 but I am willing to learn if you can provide a credible link. Thanks.

MadPolitician:
Port Harcourt was out competing Lagos in commerce during the the days of regionalism. Abd this was the regional leaders in the east, primed the city for greater commerce.
Ports in Portharcourt were booming. Portharcourt was without contest, the commercial hub of the east.

Trans Amadi industrial Layout, Presidential Hotels and all that in Portharcourt, were built by MI Okpara. He started Obudu cattle ranch in Calabar. All these within 4 years, with cash from palm oil mainly grown in the hinterlands.

What do you guys want from the igbo man? Portharcourt was thriving more than Aba, Onitsha, Owerri and Umuahia. Enugu was doing good as an administrative center of the region, but the whole action was in PH.
What else do you want?

Deepocean:
So, existing Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC is for what? We joke too much in this country.

yarimo:
FUBARA the Baby governor, obaseki said more than this. Today he is regretting.

Biodun556:
Ajayi crowther is one of them. And he is from Oyo

0bjpmb:
It is the most aesthetically pleasing multi storey building cluster in Nigeria. Mind you this area of Onitsha is the area where the poor live in Onitsha. Onitsha is the greatest city in igboland

damkin24:
Cry more please

damkin24:
Let's check Calabar a once Federal Capital position on the list?

helinues:
Because leaders from other regions were killed except the Igbo leaders.

And eventually after the coup, it was an Igbo man , Aguiyi Ironsi who benefited from the coup.

So it's Igbo's coup

It be like some of una missed history class in secondary school

muykem:
That's a capital lie. Ironsi killed regional government by unification decree of May 1966.

coputa:
There's nothing of such,this a big lie.
PORTHARCOURT is the only city in rivers state
