Please I need advice. I lost my Dad over 2 months now and he hasn't been buried due to the pandemic. My Uncle's are all in Lagos and can't come back.

So after the lockdown was over we decided to go to the village.. On getting I discovered that his shop was open and all the money going into the first Uncle (first son) account.. So I called my uncle because he told me it was locked and he was saying did he need my permission before to open the shop and i decided to just control myself because i like peace and i decided to go to the house in the village...

On getting there I called my uncle and he told me the keys are with them in Lagos ... That it was waybilled and i said ok and went back with my brother and sister.

Fast forward today... I got a call from someone in the village that my Dad's burial death has been fixed and i was wowed because as the first son i haven't been told yet by my uncle's. So right now i am about acting but i need advice.

Kai, this is too bad. Why will a brother wants to cover a brother property while he had children.

Looooooooooooooooooool, I used to tell people that FUTO is like that primary school song we use to sing and say "BIG FOR NOTHING"

All their buildings are just scattered like the teeth of a hundred years old drunkard. Annoying part is that they keep dragging for more land with their host community

Indeed Futo is scanty.

SmartPolician:
Hope needs to improve on Rochas' lofty but disorganized ideas

I strongly believe that when he's spent 4 years in office, Imolites will gladly vote for him again

Given the questionable circumstances that brought him into office, Hope has to impress the people

For years, Okigwe Zone has been relegated to the background yet they don't come online to constitute nuisance like some people

Nice one. Okigwe people are peace loving. I wish after Hope Okigwe man shall take over so as to develop the town more.

BREAKING!!! President Buhari Petitions International Community Over IPOB & Biafra

By Wisdom Nwedene

President Muhammadu Buhari has petitioned the International Community over the activities of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB and Biafra campaigns.

In a statement made available to IGBERE TV on Sunday by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President Media & Publicity, said a very deep and wide investigation by an agency of the Nigerian government, working with international partners have made them to become aware that there are two, interconnected campaigns being run concurrently by the IPOB.

According to the statement, "both are using the cover of Christianity – and calling for a US Special Envoy to be appointed to stop the “genocide” of Christians in Nigeria. But the real purpose is to drive a wedge between the Nigeria government and its US and UK/European allies."

He advised the International community to ignore this campaign as" they have disregarded similar past campaigns originated by this group which has been designated as a terrorist organisation by the Nigerian State."

The statement reads ;

"The Presidency wishes to draw the attention of all citizens and the international community to a most misleading campaign spearheaded by the so-called Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) using false allegations of persecution of Christians against the Nigerian State."

"A very deep and wide investigation by an agency of the Nigerian government, working with international partners have made us become aware that there are two, interconnected campaigns being run concurrently by the IPOB in this regard."

"Both are using the cover of Christianity – and calling for a US Special Envoy to be appointed to stop the “genocide” of Christians in Nigeria. But the real purpose is to drive a wedge between the Nigeria government and its US and UK/European allies."

"IPOB leadership of course self-proclaims as “Jewish,” a position not shared by the generality of the members."

"For reasons of convenience, he claims to have an interest in the welfare of Christians – but this is a ruse: the case for independence, the leader believes, is strengthened by “proving” the government of Nigeria is “autocratic”, engaged in a “silent slaughter” of their own citizens along religion and ethnic lines – and that therefore the only viable option for the unique religious and ethnic minority is a sovereign Biafra separate from Nigeria."

"Nigerians and the international community are advised to be wary of this divisive campaign, which available evidence shows is being funded with a monthly spending of $85,000 USD since October 2019, with no records of the source of this largesse."

"The campaign consists of producing articles in the names of the alleged Christian NGOs’ leaders (of campaign groups created at the time this PR contract with a US lobbying firm was signed) and letters to and from members of Congress to the White House."

"Unfortunately, some Members of Congress have clearly been persuaded there is indeed a “Christian persecution” underway in Nigeria – and do so quoting the campaign – and they are known to be taking up the case directly with the White House to appoint the special envoy."

"The American charity secured a meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and has made presentations to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom."

"There is also a UK and European angle of the Campaign, which is more opaque than its US sister campaign – given there is less legal requirement for public filings – but what is known of this at the moment is that their Budget is sufficient to hire four PR firms in the UK, Belgium, France and the US (the latter additional to the above)."

"They have founded an “NGO/Charity” and a linked web-based campaign named “Stop the Silent Slaughter” which is well designed and complete with video “evidence”-completely concocted."

"Members of the alleged Christian NGO have had multiple Op-Ed articles in conservative news websites promulgating their message of a “Christian Genocide”. Some of those articles have also been used as “evidence” in the sister US campaign."

"Two of those conservative news websites were co-founded by the owner of the UK PR firm they have hired to generate their publicity as well as an OP-Ed article in the name of a British MP who may have been convinced by their campaign under false pretences."

" They have secured additional coverage in France, EU and Germany."

"They secured a MPs debate on the “Christian Genocide” in the House of Commons in which staff member of the UK PR was referenced as the “private secretary” to the leader of the UK-based Charity."

"It is clear from all of the above that the IPOB’s extraordinarily and dubiously well-funded campaign in the US and UK/Europe is misusing the issue of the welfare of Christians purely to further their own political ends, and it seeks to damage inter-religious dialogue in Nigeria as well as to damage the international reputation of Nigeria."

"Nigerians and the international community are hereby advised to ignore this campaign as they have disregarded similar past campaigns originated by this group which has been designated as a terrorist organisation by the Nigerian State."

"International groups and societies are welcome to send representatives to Nigeria and give a lie to the false claims made by these terrorist groups who are duping them of their money and involving them in conduct and activities disguised to destroy the harmonious relationships existing between their home countries and Nigeria."

Please let Biafrans go, are we not tired of this country?

ChimaAdeoye:
Red Alert!!!

Villages between Nsukka - Enugu are in severe danger of being attacked and massacred!

More than 60 new Fulani herdsmen settlement have been counted clearly via satellite imagery. Go to your google earth now and see these exploding herdsmen territory for yourself in these areas identified with yellow thumbnails!

Governor Ugwuanyi should be made aware of these growing new illegal settlements on people's farms and places mapped out for building residential estates. Why can't these people join the other legitimate Fulani livestock dealers in the designated cattle markets etc, instead of hiding in people's farms in the bush and building new permanent Fulani villages in people's farms? What is their true intention?
Is this their RUGA through the back door and unannounced on TV, while they quietly annex people's villages under the pretext of being nomadic herdsmen? Meanwhile, they are building new permanent structures on people's land!

You can clearly see the herdsmen are now building permanent structures illegally on people's farms and forcefully occupying them. There is every intention for a bloody conflict with the villagers now that Miyetti Allah plans to even arm them more than they already are.

The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo has openly boasted that the Fulani ethnic group own Nigeria and will rule it forever in an interview with the Sun.

In the usual power-drunk tirade that comes from the organisation on a regular basis, the President of the Herdsmen association also revealed that plans had been concluded to flag off a Miyetti Allah vigilante group with 100,000 members which will be deployed to every state in Nigeria.

Bello Abdullahi said the Fulani did not need permission to settle in any part of Nigeria because they own it.

He said further that unlike the Amotekun outfit that needed the backing of the law to function, their own security outfit does not need the backing of the law.

My organization, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, we are trying to set up our own security outfit.

“We are considering starting with 5000 personnel. While their own is Amotekun, our own name shall be unveiled soon. We have not decided on its name, maybe, it may be called, Miyetti Allah Vigilante.”

He said the outfit has not been launched yet because of social distancing restrictions put in place by the Federal Government due to the coronavirus even though “the Fulani cannot by affected by the virus.”

“We are meeting, anytime from now, we make our plans public. We will first start with 5,000 personnel.“It is going to be across the country because there is no any angle you cannot find the Fulani in this country.”

“It is going to be across the country because there is no any angle you cannot find the Fulani in this country.”

Interestingly, he said the new outfit will only use sticks instead of guns as weapons to fight cattle rustlers and bandits.

“Fulani has the rights “to go and settle in any bush in this country without asking anybody for permission.”

“It is not against the law in this country. Who would they go to take permission from, is it the animals in the bush?”

He said nobody can drive the Fulani away because they produced Nigeria.

“They produced the first prime minister. If they produced the first president, another president, another president and so on, are they not the owner of the country?

“Fulani are ruling Nigeria and they must continue to rule the country forever. That is the truth.”

Face your cursed dilapidated filthy shithole Abia state for once.

Who is this guy sef? Is like you are overcrossing the line.

sevo:
Ogbeni, go sleep...how many poverty did you tackle when you were governor of IMO state...

He tackled many. He was my governor. Leave media and come to Imo state and see for yourself.

Is it raping or fucking?

superlightning:
I hope to give UdechiHD and pazienza a rude and dirty slap if I should meet them in person.


Their lies and idiocy disgusts me.

Face your 60% poverty striken enugu state, you won't.

You would have rejoiced if it was abia that had such high poverty index of 60%, but glory be to God, YOU WERE ALL SHAMED!!!! LOSERS!!!!

Me too.

Chai, RIP Majek Fashek that sang: anyi gara birthday, richa rice nuo mmanya, ma chefuo Kanda.

Nothing is vanity. Good thing is good. Don't lazy, hustle definitely you will make it one day.

sage:
Dude you don't need to convince me or anybody else of anything. Its something that T.A Orji, his son and Ikpeazu don't seem to understand. Reality is a very stubborn thing that an army of propagandists will eventually bow down to.

To continue their criminal enterprise with impunity they have invested in a vast propaganda machine that believe they can alter reality and pretend that Aba and Abia State is better than it is and deceive people. All while Abia sinks below Zamfara, and the worst Northern states in Nigeria.

What they don't know is that not only can the criminal enterprise not last forever, it is a completely wasted effort that is destroying the most talented and promising city in the east.

Igbo intellectuals and rich industrialists who used to live in Aba now all live in Lagos. Igbo land is desolate. Our language and culture is being lost and our people are dispersed all around the world.

All so some criminals can keep enjoying the loot that they did not work for

An imposter, we've heard. It's ok, now can you face your side? Leave bureaucracy and media blackmail. Abia is still better than most states in Nigeria especially Southwest.

eduj:
so I guess that the owners of shell, innergalaxy steel mills, marketsquare, Genesis cinema and a whole lot of others (including the fg) are fools because they have invested massively in Aba since last year and 2020 ?. The other companies like geepee, Pz, Seven-Up, NB, Afribev, Glassforce, Vitafoam and many others are not reasonable for still operating in Aba?.
Apart from the ph road axis, I can comfortably say that no section in as is as dilapidated as you seem to think, it isn't propaganda since these year, I know how many pics of road construction in and has graced these thread, but some of you choose to glose over it.
To put all these to bed, choose a weekend to come over to aba and check out things for yourself then post pics on these thread.
Saying all the spoilt roads in aba metropolitan area can be done in a year is simply a fallacy

I love this

Umueme:
So you that has a working governor, does your state road network rival Abuja's own?

Hypocrite

Don't mind these people continue what you are doing.

Arinze96:
You all saying come to Aba to withness development;

1. Are you saying Okezie Ikpeazu has performed more than any of the governors in the east?

2. Do you realize Abia state allocation is more than that of Ebonyi state?

3. How would you rate Okezie and Umahi?

3. Are you insinuating that you're comfortable with the status quo in the state?

4. Can you make us see reasons you praise Ikpeazu the way you do?

5. Do you realize Aba used to be among the most beautiful cities in the east, if not the most beautiful? If you agree then, can you mention any city in the east Aba is presently better than?

If you can't sincerely answer any of these questions, I think it will be safe to conclude that you guys are the ones cheering bad governance in the state and therefore, enemies of the Igbo people.

Cc: B2mario, Umueme, Xander etc

Bro, the yardsticks you mentioned here is totally irrelevant to me.

What's the size of the population of Ebonyi compared to Abia? Though Massob influenced the 2006 census results of Abia state by issuing the boycott policy coupled with political tussle between Orji Uzor kalu and Obasanjoas at then.

How many cities are in Ebonyi and what is their sizes compared to the ones in Abia? 3 or 4 new roads dualized in Ebonyi State will be more noticeable compared to Abia state. The picture below was dualized in Obingwa LGA by Okezie while those of us from Osisioma don't even know.

What's the total number of dual carriage roads in Ebonyi compared to Aba alone exclusive of Umuahia?
How many heavy duty trucks ply the road of Abakiliki compared to Abia?


Dave Umahi is trying notwithstanding, but media promotion is equally helping to promote his work. While there's a sort of Abiaphobia where so many people really want to pull Abia and Aba in particular down due to its commercial and local industrial prowess. They don't want to see or hear anything good coming from Aba and southeast in general. The name and stories of Aba local industrial prowess gives them nightmare. I have observed it when I was living in Lagos and even now I'm living in the north.

Aba glory is not lost in any matter, the problem of Aba is not the past governors as portrayed here (because even Orji Uzor kalu tried during his regime) but Nigerian factor. Aba and Igbo politicians have been soliciting for the construction of another drainage system in Aba city from the federal government since I was small, long before they used 6billion naira and constructed new one in Ibadan in 2006. Without the new drainage system, roads constructed in Aba will not last because the city is now 5x of it's initial masterplan.

This country needs to be restructure. Enugu, Owerri and Portharcourt are facing the same problem.
Why did they close the eastern corridors of Nigerian seaports allowing only Lagos to be operating?
Why are they playing politics with Enugu international airport?
Why is Owerri not given the full status of international airport?

Umueme:
Nwanne na hypocrisy. They can never see good things even when its right before them

Infact, bro I tire oo

pazienza:
The same cheap Ngwa/Ohuhu folly you use to promote and defend mediocrity.

Okezie Ikpeazu became governor same day as Umahi, but the difference is clear.

Okezie Ikpeazu and his supporters are still all in bed with T. A orji their benefactor. Yet any criticism about mediocrity of Ikpeazu, his army of media attack dogs would resort to the old tested and trusted Ngwa/Ohuhu dichotomy in Abia.
Ndi na enweghi amamihe. Soon Ndiigbo will start denouncing Abia and her disgrace.

There is media promotion of Umahi work while no one is interested in promoting Okezie work. The young man is trying. Aba and Umuahia are swallowing his works. Umahi work is concentrated on small Abakiliki town and a less town of Afikpo. Abakiliki is not up to the size of Umuahia. But Okezie is working in a 6lga of Aba, Umuahia, Ohaofia, Abiriba and Arochukwu. When he's working in Obingwa LGA those in Osisioma or Ugwunagbor will not know.

Everybody is seeing Aba as the worst city in Nigeria due to media blackmail whereas Aba is one of the best. Travel and see. No commercial city in Nigeria is better than Aba. Aba is far better than most capital cities in southwestern and North central part of Nigeria. Travel to cities like Okene, ife, Abeokuta, Osogbo, Ogbomosho, general area of Ajegunke Lagos, owo, and rest of them and see for yourself. No road, no proper planning, people are building on top of stones and hills with poor architecture.

Aba has at least 85% past mark on town planning and good and decent houses. Aba roads are not bad and dirty as being portrayed on social media. And you hardly see ghetto in Aba as seen in most Nigerian city outside southeast. Aba till tomorrow still remain the pride of Igbo land.

Umueme:
Your Afonja mentality to divide ndi-igbo in this group will not work. Ara na agba gi, ya agbakwala gi maka Abia steeti. Anuofia

Just hapu ha ka ha na ekwuheri. The guy has not been to Nigeria since past 8yrs and he's believing everything he read on nairaland.

Umueme:
......well it (Immaculate avenue) is taking shape gradually. Okezie is working. Forget propaganda.....

Thanks bro

Umueme:
36km road which joins Umuikea to Obikabia junction completed. The road leads from Owerrinta (in Isialangwa south L.G.A) to Obikabia junction ( Obingwa L.G.A.) Drivers from IMO can ply the road from Owerrinta to Ikot-ekpene road without entering/passing through Aba.

Good one bro

XANDERBOY85:
Don't mind the guy and his ilk! I know what exactly their intention is....try to make it look like the genesis of our problems as Ndigbo is Ndigbo and not 'one Nigeria' and all that goes with it! See how they say don't blame so and so but blame the likes of the Orjis', Ikpeazu, etc The major problem facing Ndigbo today is the status-quo that's cheated us and is presently holding us down in more ways than one! We know those who actively or passively support the status-quo and are known to actively work against Igbo interests whether in business, politics or the media! The likes of the Orjis', Ikpeazu and co are just sympthoms of the problem and their like arise when we work with the status-quo and political-economy Nigeria has foisted on us! Look at what happened in Imo to understand where i'm going with my argument!

One of them (a impostor) is here already, trying to run the image of Aba down!

My brother I'm just watching them, starting from Chino to the rest of them.

sage:
Dude stop this silly trash you are doing. For a few peanuts from the people holding Abia state hostage (who think through foolish propaganda they can forever rip off the state) you are selling Igbo people down a river. They think they can perpetually run this criminal enterprise without consequence forever because TA Orji got away with it for 8 years.

There is a reason TA Orji’s sons enjoy Abia money in Abuja and don’t spend their loot in the state it was stolen from. Abuja is a real city while Aba is a embarrassment to Igbos and an absolute shitty filth.

What the state propaganda machine doesn’t recognize is that they are destroying what was once the pride of Ndi Igbo. They are harming Igbo people irreparably and erasing our identity as a people.

So many Igbo people around the world would bring investments and prosperity to Aba if only the people holding the state hostage understood how they are throwing away the jewel of Igbo land and it’s massive potential.

Shame on people who collect small pennies from the criminals ruining Abia state and post pictures of wheelbarrow cement mixers as evidence that the “governor is working”

These people are worse than Fulani’s/Yorubas/Buharis etc. that they complain about. Absolutely despicable scum

Thunder fire you, what do you mean by small peanuts they are giving me? Is like I'm through with you, imposter. I just posted the current and real pictures of Aba, and you are there vomiting nonsense.

[quote author=Austine1213 post=90037864][/quote]Oga, we are talking of Nigerian standard here. Where are you from?

More of Aba

More

sage:
Aba used to be Lagos of the East. If an Igbo man came back straight from USA or a Europe, he could relocate his family to Aba and raise his kids there. 30 years later Aba is an uninhabitable filth. Most big Igbo men lived in the city. Foreigners doing business lived in the city. Today it’s a ghost slum unfit for human habitation

Fulani’s and Yorubas are not the reason why a big city like Aba doesnt even have a single mile stretch of good road.

The governor has his media propagandists post him with wheelbarrow cement mixers and call it working on roads.

I weep so bad for our Igbo people. The foremost industrial Igbo Town is a shame on all Igbo people today. All so TA Orji and his son can keep the state hostage as their fiefdom.

If Aba doesn’t return to what is used to be and even better Igbo people are going to struggle in the south east. Hotels in Owerri and Enugu are fine and all but don’t an economic juggernaut make. The productivity of Aba of the 1970’s and 1980’s makes a productive juggernaut

Who told you this rubbish you are talking about. Stop believing what you read on nairaland. No commercial city in Nigeria or Africa in extension is better than Aba. Aba is far better than most Nigerian state's capitals.

PortHarcourt1st:
Kinematics PORT HARCOURT is a cursed town. Na true

Kee kwa ihe onye ara na eme in this thread? Always destroying everything relating to Igbo. This guy is a Fulani agent, divide and kill.

sanctity454:
The road is dual carriage, what you're seeing 8s the median which is very wide

Ok

sanctity454:
Chief Tony chukwu was also on site

Uzodimma should be widening these roads na, there are enough spaces by the sides?

Attention seeker always seeking for my attention. I can't waste any of my precious time responding a lunatic who's not an Igbo but always claim to be Igbo. If I see a right thinking person, definitely I will respond to him not the lunatic about me.

Amadioha fight anybody that is fighting Igbo. Destroy his or her happiness, make him/her to know no peace.
