Akaujaa:
Politics in Nigeria is really dirty. Our politicians only play on our collective intelligence. I stay in Asaba and am yet to see a road completed by Okowa. The Traffic Light/Cable road he initiated is a pending contract awarded to him when he was a senator. They only come to thief and go.

krasican:
"In line with the realization that road development and construction is the backbone for the achievement of the SMART agenda of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa's administration, the Ministry has embarked on [color=#000000]seventy one road [/color]projects at a total cost of N32. 905 billion for construction between May 2015 and November 2016 covering over 282 kilometres of road and 136 kilometres of concrete lined drains," he said.

WHICH ROAD?

FOR WHICH STATE?

The Works Commissioner however, disclosed that "[color=#000000]the terrain of the state also results in additional high cost of constructing roads[/color] with respect to the swampy nature of some parts which require the replacement of quantities of unsuitable materials and several hydraulic structures on the one hand and erosion prone parts of the state where drainage structures are necessary."

Dannidom:
The coup in question failed in the east as a result of incompetency of officers assigned to that affect in the region which I am made to understand were yorubas so stop bleating and oozing ungrounded fallacies

typical of an afonja youth

dishing out half baked stories without proper research just to feel sophisticated to uninformed audience

GEJ crashed the economy. Nothing happening now that was not predicted by eminent Economist.

Oke would win ondo polls marginally just like I predicted apc to win in edo state.oke would win the 6 lgas in ondo south by aa landslide.in ondo central,jegede would win 4 or 5.he would only have a landslide in akure south and mimiko's lga.oke or aketi would win 1 lga.in ondo north,boroffice and abraham would deliver the 4 lgas of akoko land to oke.he would win 2 or 3 by a landslide.in. The remaining two lgas which is ose and owo,aketi would win.

krendo:
Nigeria was making tremendous progress electorally under PDP and that progress led to APC winning elections at the centre in the first

It appears we are now going backwards under APC who simply have no grace to at least keep the integrity of the electoral process they met or improve it

If the people vote don't count then election mean nothing, if election mean nothing then democracy pointless. That scenario my friend is a fertile ground for a military coup!

This is danger of what APC are doing, they are preparing the ground for a justified military coup

It is not about PDP vs APC, this is really about the future of democracy itself!

Freedom2016:
A good friend(Senior Assistant ) was involved in this project under Akpabio with the surveying aspect, so when I speak of people frustrating it I know because I witnessed it. Akpabio was threatened to abandon it or he will be dealt with. I still suspect Udom will be warned to leave it soon or else. There is a reason why none of the ports in SS and SE are fully functional...Calabar, Warri, Port Harcourt, Onitsha and Onne. And Port Harcourt, Warri, Onne, and Calabar are all owned and controlled by Dangote and Atiku....is it a coincidence? It's not by accident, it is by design. All of of SS and SE have no clue what they are doing to us. Same with airports...Only Lagos and Abuja are fully functional in terms of direct international flights.

Zedoo:
Ojukwu is better than all the military heads of state put together.... The war was only lost because Gowon in his sinful hatred ceased ALL food supplies to the east back and forth and even shot down planes carrying supplies....else....my brother no be this same story we go dey talk today.... .

gidgiddy:
I've watched this video a number of times and the hypocrisy is mind blowing. I give props to Major Taffy Williams, my father fought alongside him on the Biafran side and he was a great motivator. It should be noted that mercenaries were used on both sides of the war, infact, Nigeria used far mor mercenaries than Biafra.

As Ojukwu rightly said in the interview "war is the price of freedom". Every war has one side that is fighting for freedom and another side that is fighting to take freedom away. When it comes to the Nigerian/Biafran war, every Nigerian knows which side was fighting freedom and which side was fighting to take that freedom away.

I'm happy that people like Gowon, Obasunjo, Buhari, IBB who all fought against Biafra and went on to be presidents are all still alive today. I'm happy that they all alive to see the faliure that same Nigeria has become.

Ojukwu has been vindicated, the Nigeria he fought againt turned out to be a monumental disaster, proving that Ojukwu was right to try and get him people out.

Dottore:
So many economic theories, so. Many economic policies. All trial and error by square pegs in round holes. Look at the way Kemi Adeosun and Emefiele were contradicting themselves in the presidential meeting.
I don't know who amongst them is worse incompetent.

QuotaSystem:
[b]Left to wailers, they'd be thrilled if elections could be next week so they can finally force it down everyone's throat that "PMB has failed!". Unfortunately that dream declaration will never come to pass, just like their dead, buried and decayed GEJ till 2019 chant.

President Buhari remains the best choice we had in the 2015 elections and I remain absolutely confident with logical reasons, that PMB is the man to pull Nigeria out of the downward spiral that the failed, defeated and dying PDP put it in before handing over the reins of leadership. There is this creeping belief that even the wailers and triPODS know that Buhari has the integrity, experience, resolve and determination to make Nigeria work which is why they are in a haste to declare his administration as 'failed' just one year into his 4 year tenure.

With the Dangote refinery and gas plant coming into operation in 2018 solving our petroleum and power supply issues, the agricultural revolution going on across states particularly in the North, the ongoing tax reforms and efforts to develop our steel industry and the exploitation of solid minerals etc; it's only a half educated and severely ignorant bigot that will fail to see that Nigeria is moving in the right direction and Buhari's presidency is on course to be a resounding success.

Let them wail, time will tell . [/b]

Obiobi8:
Mental handicap..

Adaure4ever:
in as much that I oppose IPOB, but I will not fold my hands and watch you tell a lie about 1966 coup.
The military officers sent to kill M.I Okpara failed woefully, he went out for a conference.
It was a coup that was misintepreted as an Igbo coup as if other tribes were not part of the coup team.
Igbos occupied key federal positions before the coup, so say that the coup is for greediness to rule is a Falsehood and a Silly postulation.
Don't spread falsehood.

Adaure4ever:
this "aguiyi ironsi" excuse is boring now.!
You people hate justice and love this suppresive lopsided System.
If not parasitism, why are you descendants of usman dan fodio scared of Nigeria breaking up?

newbornmacho:
Goodluck Jonathan did one thing which resonates, should and does resonate with the igbo : fair play. The igbo I know are not asking for any undue advantage in this country... We just want a level playing field. Let the top security positions be equally available to all... Let innosons of this world get the same encouragement that built the dangotes etc let a femi adesina shine as brightly as a Mahmud jega is encouraged to freely do his work without intimidation. I voted Jonathan because he represented fairness as against nepotism, freedom and fresh air as against suffocating tyranny. Every Ibo I know still would vote for these qualities.

onepluone:
U just insulted IPOB with no prove that they ever insulted Attah. Why?


Nnamdi Kanu is the only person that can speak and be held as word from IPOB.


A yoruba mod has a job to hide any comment that calls for a restructed Nigeria and Hausa threaten war yet u still think that is possible?


Wake up! Sooner or later, igbos in lagos and abuja will not only lose their property but their life, it happened much closer to home in Port Harcourt.


Listen to the threats from Yoruba directed against igbos. Listen to threat from Hausa directed against igbos. Be wise!


Igbos need a new direction. Nigeria holds only death. Nigeria is a death card and Igbos have died enough.


Dont play to the gallery but be truthful to yourself. A word is enough 4 the wise.

ikechu1:
First of all iteskiri, urhobo, binis, etc WERE NOT included in Biafra by IPOB. Only ibibio and Ijaws were and the igala and Idoma community in Enugu and Anam bra were. If you going to blast others, do best to actually KNOW what it is they speaking about.

Secondly, Attah displaced cluelessness regarding the history hence they reminded him. You stay on NL degrading Buhari, who is your elder, as well as other APC leader and yet lambasting others for the act you are guilty of. What a hypocrite.

Lastly, I keep saying it..the problem with Igbo land is SE Igbos like yourselves. With EVERYTHING Nigeria has done to Igbo, especially your area and yet you still want to be part of it shows what a docile slave you are. For someone to still want to share a nation with communities that HATES them and do so proudly and aggressively shows you truly the a house negro.

As Harriet Tubman stated " I would have saved more slives if only they knew they are slaves".

That describe you to the T. The only person embarrasing igbo is you, not IPOB. In fact IPOB is looking out for igbo way more than you are.

blazetitov:
Oga ade, What's is your point? Why are you ranting up and down like a rabid dog?

Can the governor fix all the roads in the state at the same time?


You kept on insulting people because you are frustrated and suffering from low self esteem.

Grow up and stop your senseless arguments.

blazetitov:
Whether FG or state government, will the road not benefit nigerians that passes through on a daily basis?

jfking2005:
You need to change the way you reason to progress in life.
That Road belong to Fed govt but he choose to make life easy for the people and not wait till fed govt is ready.

obailala:
Was just passing bye and then I saw this. Please which roads are you referring to?... which roads did the predecessor build and maintain?

Bolustic:
This is long overdue, I think a bill should be forwarded to the National Assembly in this regard, if a state is rich enough to construct and/or maintain a federal road, why should it be stop in the name of one exclusive law? Some death traps federal roads, particularly in the opposition controlled states, could have been rehabilitated since but the unhealthy rivalries between the centre and states delayed such motives.

At least, the common man will benefit at last.
