I am thinking that the Mod pushing the activities of Okezie Ikpeazu to the front page has been compromised.

No amount of propaganda will save Ikpeazu from the tribunal.

Abia will not be Ikpeazu, Abia ga wu ndi mbu

TeamMidasTouch TeamAlexOtti

Oga don't say what you don't know. Alex Otti can not get it because Ikeazu truly won the election.

Beside, Abians are comfortable with PDP for now.

coollaw:
I don't think this place is ABA talk less of being the worst road,i called my guy that stay s at ABA yesterday about the ongoing work in ABA I was surprise when my guy told me they are not doing any work even single he said I shuld call other guys to confirm so let's be sure ooo

what do u gain from lying?

virus04:
..na haters ..dey talk all dose nonsense

I wonder oooo.
I stay close to Imo state, and i can testify that the man is trying for his state that was why he got re-elected by his learned people.

We all know that all these criticisms are coming out of envy, they want to tarnish his image just to kill his presidential aspiration. But that can't happen, God is greater than them.

Baba God everly dey.

AnambraDota:
Looll, I know this is what he will list now.

Kaduna- Capital of Northern Region since time immemorial.

Kano- the economic nerve center of Northen Nigeria with 19 states.

Jos- Capital of old Middle Belt region and still capital of old plateau and current plataue state.

Maiduguri is older than Awka and its the only city in the state with life.

Katsina have no other city to channel development.

Minna is home to two former presidents of Nigeria, bigger than the entire Eastern region but with small economic activity and few or no industries.

Awka was a sleepy village before the creation of Anambra state, Awkas was destroyed during the civil war, the only Federal presence in Awka is UNIZIK but Awka has better standard of living and good economic activities than cities that predates her.

Awka have Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia to contest for meager fed allocation yet Awka is good, secure and decent to live it.

hmmm, some people has not been to anywhere but will always like to say what they don't know. Who even told you that katsina has only katsina city, what of Funtua which has the size of Awka but has more infrastructural development than Awka. Beside Katsina and Funtua, katsina still has Daura and malumfashi.

Even Bornu state has Baga, Bama, Bui beside maiduguri only that it does not have much population compare to its landmass.

abagoro:
I define it as the regular 4 storey building frequently seen in most Igbo towns and cities or sometimes equally built by Igbos in Lagos, Kano and other major cities. I will give samples from some Igbo towns.

Once more, thanks for showcasing Aba pictures. I love them.

Abagworo in as much i always like to respect your views, i totally disagree with you here. Every nation has their uniqueness and every city of the world can't look like New York, Chicago, Hongkong and Tokyo. Rome, Madrid, Lisbon, London, Berlin and Bonn are not in that form but in their unique forms. Even your said Igbotic building was copied from Germany by our Igbo travellers and it emanated in early 1990s which replaced our initial 1 storey public buildings.

Those your wished buildings will come soon but will take some times. Today, nigerian cities like Marina, Abuja, and Ph where we see highrise buildings use them mainly for office purposes.

We will develop to this but it will take time. For now, our cites remain the best in Nigeria in terms of housing due to these Igbotic buildings.

oneeast:
When I said that abagworo is evil, demonic, envious, frustrated and cancerous you guys didn't believe me.

Until abagworo is caught and stoned to death this will not stop. This is why I usually have problem with that old jobless hag. Whenever I sight that guy is as though I have sighted faeces. I detest that old dirty wanderer with utmost sincerity.

How can one condemn and call 3-4-5 residential buildings bad whereas PH he is talking about is at least 85% shanties, filled with the Ikwerre-type dirty low bungalows.

Every corner of PH has an element of disgusting rural outlook except maybe old GRA and new GRA. FACT!

The 3-4-5 residential blocks as seen in Onitsha and Enugu remains the best and most majestic low and middle class housing in Nigeria today if you are a traveller that have seen other parts of Nigeria. The comparison is like night and day.

I have some pictures of most neighbourhoods in PH, will share it soon on the imo thread to embarrass that I.dI.ot.

This is not what we want you to say, he only made his view.
Must u sound like this everytime, you always like to incite division.

The 3,4,5 and 6 storey buildings are seen everywhere in Igboland not only in Onitsha and Enugu. It's seen in Aba, Owerri, Orlu, Umuahia, Abakiliki, Nnewi, Okigwe, Nsukka, Afikpo, Awka, Ohaofia, Mgbidi, Ekwurobia, Orji-river, Oyi Igbo and even in PH.

If you have problem with Abagworo settle it within yourselves, stop looking for a chance to downgrade the respect of the young man on a public forums like this. It's inhumane.

centje:
I really don't know why you rate PH so high. Ph was once a garden city but not anymore. Recently, I compared Ph and Enugu in terms of size, the difference is marginal in favour of Ph. And Ph doesn't have the pattern of house zoning you find in Enugu. In Ph what you see are disordered mixture of bungalow, duplex, storey building...even plenty of your so called igbotic building.
You can't find this type of layout in Ph, developed by individuals...the houses are almost at the same level.

https://artsymoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015-05-06-11.47.24-1.jpg
Enugu

The only place you can find such pattern in PH are in very few government layout, developed by government. Am quite certain you don't know Enugu very well, you can't erect such storey houses in places like trans Ekulu, or erect duplex in Achara layout, that's the zoning pattern in Enugu, you can't find in Ph. Ph is Economical more advanced than Enugu, more congested and more populated, but these factors coupled with poor planning made Ph chaotic and it eventually lost its garden city theme.


Now to your usually 'igbotic building' and 'solid office block looking houses' as you put it ...I also advocate for such houses you desire, but there are factors that that bring about such houses or make developers go for lower storey houses with corrugated roofing sheets...on several occasions I discussed with my cousin, an architect, he will always tell me that such style of roofing you usually describe is very costly to maintain. Secondly, considering scarcity of water in most part of the east especially Enugu, the need to collect rain water requires such roof. Thirdly, taking the storey building to 16-20 levels will require elevators, to be powered and maintained by how many residents, how may people can afford it. I think developers will begin to make such investment for middle class when we have stable power, otherwise such buildings in nigeria are mainly for bussiness and government purposes. Fourthly, most of those buildings you see in Lagos, and Abuja are government houses or private companies, don't tell me you want to similar architectural design of the new Enugu secretariat or that of Golden Royale replicated in every part of Enugu Fiftly, have you taken a look at other cities, big Countries like France has cities with similar pattern...

https://joinusinfrance.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Marseille-France-1.jpg
Marseille, France

london has similar building pattern...

North London

You probably don't understand Urban planning, and how cities evolve. Those houses you're seeing will either be redesigned or destroyed to build a more contemporary architecture as the city evovle...below is beginning part of Ogui Road Enugu, this area was once lined by archaic low houses with brown roofings, some can still be found there. But at a rapid rate, these houses are being replaced by more modern houses, in future it's probably skyscrapers that will replace these ones being built now...

Here's a new house replacing those low houses, flanking the house under construction are those old houses,...that's the evolution...and it's a gradual process. As the economy improves so will our architecture and other aspects of our cities.

.

Wonder! U made a good analysis.

emmysoftyou:
bro i totally agree with your reasons above me but imo state polytechnic is not in orlu zone but in owerri zone around poly road,owerri...
i maybe wrong though...

Imo-polytechnic is in Orlu zone, Ohaji/Egbema lga.

Any new update> customized13
Or is there nothing to show?

Yes nothing to show, so submit whatever u have.

SonOfEl:
Like it or not, abia state is a big boy amongst states in naija, trust me. The criticisms on us is good for our development. Aba is being unfairly treated both by state and federal Govt, it needs resuscitation. Abriba stands out on its own just like nnewi in anambra. Umuahia needs seasoned developers, and all these cannot be solved overnight. Rome wasnt built in a day. I dnt like ikpeazu, but if the electorate truly voted him, then lets allow him prove himself. Igbo kwenu! Abia kwenu! Abia mmamma nu o!

nwanne mmamma!
Mazi!
Kakwa nka!
Juo kwa!

Where is Abagworo, is he hiding because Rochas lost in his Oguta LGA?

Bro, relax we all know that Oguta result was rigged in favour of PDP just like Oru East that gave them 1,000 plus after the re-run instead of the initial 48,000 votes.

customized13:
just wondering, everything about abia is usually different.

My brother how?
Pls don't talk like that, you and i can make it here.

We don't have much Abians here and we've allowed our state to be painted with bad names which we are not.

But together we can change that wrong perceptive here on Nairaland. Abia is well blessed in all endeavours, from entertainment to politics, history, banking, sports, commerce, banking, tourism, industry, education. Infact we are everywhere but because of our carefree attitude people are under-rating us.

Our state is one of the most developed states in Nigeria. Atleast in the whole of SE and SS our state is the only state that has two advance developed cities many small towns.

Does it mean dt without me and customised13 this thread can not move?

oneeast:
Did it pain you? Yes you are a dirty pig! You are so dirty that I can see it through your post.

Ignored post

MzJackBaueress:
ignore the deranged ediot. He doesn't belong in the same class with you. Am surprised you're exchanging words with him.

Will be back to this thread when abagworo shows up.

I'm through with him. I just want 2 be little mad like him because of over happiness about Rochas and Ikeazu victory.

Bye dear.

MzJackBaueress:
I am not new on nairaland B2mario. I am berem using my alternate moniker.

Where is Abagworo btw? We need to do an e-party for Rochas's victory.

Lol Berem, I'm already celebrating Oro Oro landslide victory oo.

But that stupid idiot wants 2 spoil my day 4me, soon I'll be out of here cos I'm almost through with him.

If he mess any more up, I'll send some bottles across to him as a poor guy he be na.

oneeast:
Useless born throw-way. I am sure that your useless harlot mother that gave birth to you during prostitution will be very proud of dirty pig like you.

Like as I said your state is a useless one, so I careless whom you elect to rule over that useless state..

Foolish dirty pigs that we came to rescue but they chose to go back into the ditch. Continue, as for me I wish you and your state no good, so I am happy with what is going on right now in that useless state. My prayer is that you pigs continue with orji and his likes because it gives me joy whenever I see you pigs moving aimlessly without direction.

Pigs

yes, we like am like that. We don't like you, so leave us alone.

MzJackBaueress:
This is berem.

is like u ar new on nairaland, so u don't know B2mario?

MzJackBaueress:
well I trust my General. He knows who is for him and against him.

How are you doing btw?

oga, I'm on top of my senior poisons. Your brother is so much made in obiadimma.

God has vindicated me and few truthful nairalanders.

MzJackBaueress:
Serious? Lol!

yes na, read yesterday PUNCH and VANGUARD. It made headlines, i can't lie with issue like this.

oneeast:
This useless ba.stard I hope you do not want us to help derail this thread. Dirty pig

you stupid lier, na ur mama TOTO be useless dirty bar.stard.

Go and hang urself, Rochas and Imo is blessed and has set the pace 4 ur state to emulate.

I'm happy with the outcome of Imo election, this will show the world that you are haters and intruders of another man's affair.

Unlike Anambra, imolites are wise and can not buy the cheap propaganda of 'Hausa party'

you campaigned against Ngige based on this, who would have been picked as the next senate presido and now your governor is begging 4 ordinary cheap minister.

Oya, wise man tell me, senate presido and ordinary minister which one supersede?

Chai, God is flogging some people!

emmysoftyou:
well...it s one those things in life..

But God pass them...


Rochas has won and i pray he perform excellently well this time...

What i expect from them is congratulatory message and they should wish the humble governor well instead of castigating...

But it s well...God will see us through..

Gov. Obiano is making move to join APC, their said Hausa party after all the criticisms that was raised by them against Buhari and APC.

He visited Buhari yesterday and was even begging 4 appointment 4 anambra indigenes.

Lol, we've now known the truth!

millionaireman:
Virtual world, Real world - pls try to understand the difference between the two. Do not suffer heartburn for what you read on the virtual world, including NL.

You don't seem to understand the UNHEALTHY and UNHOLY factors that drive TOURISM in Owerri.

There is hardly any tourist sites in Owerri.

There are tourist sites in much of every one square mile of Las Vegas.

Millionaire, I'm laughing ooo. Chai u failed, so Rochas finally won in Imo after all ur propaganda and campaign against him.

Abagworo and Berem are better campaigners.

Imo is better under Rochas(oro oro)!

ak47mann:
Alex Otti is the best for Abia State:
As a retired banker, I know what it takes to attain the height that Alex Otti attained as a former Managing Director of one of Nigeria’s leading banks. That achievement is possibly the best preparation for the arduous task of running the affairs of a state. I want to assure Abia people that their future is more assured if they give Alex Otti the chance to lead them as their governor. I have no doubt that Otti will transform Abia in a matter of years

We've agreed to erroneously give Alex Otti our support in a peaceful matter, but hope tomorrow your people will not say that they were the ones that give Abian a governor just they did in Rochas and Imo state.

Beside, all the aspirants are Abians, whoever that wins will have our support.

musing2:
Ndewo To support thid thread I'm still looking for someone to write briefly in favor of an Igbo section, preferably in Igbo, and Ideally with a very short English summary.
To support an Igbo section I think we simply need to support and promote Igbo threads.

ok, i will play from my own perspective. It might not necessarily be writing in Igbo language but other things that can promote/project Igbo culture and heritage.

musing2:
^^^bigfrancis21 The Idea i'm promoting is not about me learning Igbo. It's about a section where threads and posts, everything (or most of it) is done in Igbo. Where Igbo stories, and igbo videos, music, news, etc are shared, and even where the threads you've talked about could be located.
Thanks for your encouragement though , your points are noted.

Nwannem daalu 100x, I'll try my best to support this thread.

stanogb:
he is a hustler.
he became useless as soon as he joined APC

lol, illiterate with cheap propaganda.

What's wrong with him joining Apc?

lygn19:
Abagworo, Owelle has done it o...

Oga, we all know that Owelle must win. Even if they conduct the election 20times in Imo he will still win.

Forget all the false criticism they laid against the innocent man thinking that well learned Imolites will buy their cheap propaganda of Owelle belonging to Hausa party.

Bet me Owelle is the next president of Igbo extraction. The man is good and he's working.

His work is visible to the blinds and audible to the darfs. See how the propaganda of Hausa party has made us to lost senate president.
