[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8130299#msg8130299 date=1302838283]I'm going to look deeply into the history of each one of them over the weekend, if I have some free time. Origins of Enugu have been made clear; will be interesting to find out who founded each of the others.

Anyway, don't get me wrong. .  .there is nothing wrong with inheriting something nice that someone else built. Just don't try to lord it over someone else.[/quote]do you know how many places are called enugu even within enugu state? enugu city was never founded by the white man but enugu  where the coal mine and gra is maybe there are other cities in enugu as a state like Nike , nssukka ngwo , these cities date back to 3000BC , no single igbo city was founded by a white man but some names where changed like igwe ocha became ph.

what do yoruba want from or of the igbos? why are they soo bitter with anything igbo and become professors in igbo matters even when we are minding our own buisness ?
what can we do for you to stop distracting us and dragging us down ?

pls i need answers cause i didnt come to nairaland to become an igbo warrior.

Eko Ile:
I always have to educate these ignorant people.

Lagos state as an economy and commercial heart of West Africa was developed by Awolowo and his hard working and forward thinking crew.

He created Ikeja industrial estate which remains Nigeria's  main economic and industrial giant, same with Apapa, Matori and Ilupeju industrial estates. He created all these including many of his other achievements while Zik was siting under the tree feasting on Akpu.

We both know who the lazy label fits and it's very obvious,  LAGOS STATE'S economy is not and has never been about spare parts, gala and puff puff peddling on eko bridge.

lol @ GEJ. You can not save yourself, your leaders can not save you, you need an ijaw man to correct decades of ibo laziness, incompetency and lack of direction? The tin go do you like film trick, Where is the ibo nation in all this? Oh, I guess it's boy boy and second fiddle as usual, lmao



Suxs to be ibo,

bla bla bla , you can only boast of lagos, portharcourt alone cancels out lagos .

about our lack of direction , what where you doing for over 40 years the north was in power? where you not supposed to share the spoils of war how come you were schemed out of power even after playing an active role in the civil war and it took an igbo man to endorse obasanjo now your comin to brag about politics, i think you people are clowns.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8130129#msg8130129 date=1302834209]And on that note. . . I'm out 

Wasted too much time on nairaland today.[/quote]none of the cities i mentined was founded by a white man

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8130082#msg8130082 date=1302833144]A people that had no major cities before colonization are now telling me they built Enugu. All of those towns in the SE were founded by Mr Whitey.

So get off your high horses and stop acting superior or better than anyone else.[/quote]your talking about enugu north , its just a portion of enugu city , but i dont blame you after all you know nothing about the east also onitsha ,asaba, aba, ibuzo , igweocha(later changed to ph) ,okigwe , owerri ,nri, nnewi , omambala( current area from awka to aguata part of anambra) were vibrant cities before the white man came.

Eko Ile:
Though this is the usual meaningless nonsese, but let's just pretend and set aside your fallacy for a min.

Of what use is your education when since independence, you got your a'ss whooped, you are still behind everybody and at the bottom of things, your leaders are mindless bickering fools with no sense of direction, the highest igbo public official is 6th place behind not only Yoruba and Hausa, but even the minorities, you've always been second fiddlers and you still are.

You are irrelevant in Abuja and that's why your leaders are back east fighting with each order like morons.


Again, of what use is your sorry backside education?

ok but why do you so many beggers, illiterates, poverty,jobless touts, almajiros even with your fictional political stance? justasking

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8129824#msg8129824 date=1302828712]Isn't it better to have an asset worth 0 than one that will go bankrupt unless electricity arrives?

Anyway, some enormous amount of Nigeria's manufacturing industry is based in the Lagos-Ogun axis. So not quite nothing.[/quote],
really? everything you use in southwest from slippers ,shoes, sandals, belt, books, hankie, bedsheet,boxers,suits, deodorants , motorcycles, automobile spare parts,building materials i can go on and on are produced in the south east and even their foreign substitues are imported by south easterners. now half of the manufacturing comapnies in lagos and ogun are owned by igbo . take the south west away , the igbo manufactured products are sold across the remaining parts of nigeria and west africa.

really sucks to be igbo.

Desola:
Ezeagu Ajani,

why are you letting yourself down like this now?

Look at those pictures closely and tell me how many of your brothers you see there.

Oyinbo man colonised you, Yoruba people are doing so in SW and now the Taiwanese have invaded your territory to take from you also? O ma se o.

You are all signed to a life of servitude.

are you on drugs , go to any manufacturing company in the south east and tell me if you will see a single white man there. you think we are like you that bring in foreign companies cus you dont have the IQ  to manufacture them, we built oweeri airport from scratch without help from federal government or foreign companies.

i love this desola , we need more yorubas like her in nigeria to notice our efforts and hardwork, unfortunately she does not even reside in nigeria. its important that igos dominate all the commercial and important cities in nigeria  like onitsha, nnewi,aba, abakiliki,portharcourt and those outside their region like lagos,abuja  and kano.

chino11:
@Laalamed u must be silly to call the revered Great Zik and Ikemba Nnewi. U cannot even compare the Great Zik to a mere awolowo whose only stock intrade was tribalism. Little wonder he did not achieve anything. He had to beg to rule nigeria for just 24hrs. Thank God the Great Zik never allowed him. Apart from lagos which use to be capital of nigeria, mention any other states (caves= oyo, osun, ekiti, ondo, ogun) in the SW that can match the least town in the SE. The least town in the SE is like New york compare to any SW state (caves). The most corrupt pple in nigeria are all from the SW. The bane of nigerian nation is the SW. We will never allow your dirty acn into the heartbeat of Igboland (Anambra). I wonder who are the real slaves here. SE has the lowest poverty rate in Nigeria. While the SW trails there almajiri brothers up north in begging with plates. The worst crime and evil are domiciled in the SW the records are there

abeg tell them, see them boastin about politics when the average yoruba man never see food chop, imagine ofe mmanu comparing the west to the east.

all haters of ndigbo can burn in hell

anybody that thinks ribadu and buhari will get more votes in lagos than GEJ is a clown , the votin formula for lagosioans whether igbo, haus or yoruba is fashola ACN for governor and GEJ PDP for president .

vicenzo:
A group of people decided who they want to vote for and somepeople are having headache over it,initially i was unhappy with ohanaeze's decision to endorse GEJ,but now i know better.GEJ has won the heart of ndiigbo,and nothing can change that,the easiest way to get yourself lynched is to go to the streets of owerri,enugu,abakaliki,onitsha,umuahia,aba,awka,and start talking ill of GEJ.
Come election day we will bury the EYO ITA SAGA and the myth that ndiigbo are only out to dominate our eastern brothers,GEJ is one of us.

trust me their problem is not GEJ ,its just bitterness,hatred , jealousy and obsession for anything igbo , if not tell me why put igbos on the headline even when GEJ has more support from his tribe ijaws, itshekiri, efik, edo ,urhobo even yoruba ,hausa and other northern tribes.

UNITED MAN:
the irony of the whole issue is that few months after the elections there will be influx of people in lagos and othey acn states. why not vote for liberation?

i dont understand why you people are soo stupid, no matter how we educate you you still talk like im.beciles. make sure you bring your people back from the east ,north where they are being slaughtered alongside other tribes, south and diaspora now you have your liberation or what ever you call it. anu mpama.

nice, eastern nigeria rocks

jason123:
LOL. Are you from Heaven Why will Nigeria be prosperous ONLY WHEN igbos control the economy Speaks volumes about what would have happened if you had your country with the SS . . .  (personal opinion)

we are part of the south south so be specific, if your talking about the ijaws ,they can go their own way if they wish but trust me they wont have to cus they will be in control of their oil wells and thats the only thing that matter to them.

Alj Uche:
your point about the wealthy men of the society supporting Jonathan is not surprising because JONATHAN IS THE CURRENT PRESIDENT. globacom and onado oil have always worked together as business patters. the onado oil is owned by Tinubu's cousin who happen to be give tinubu some % of his profit, but that is another story.

the other policies u said about ACN has to do with the population density of the state. the more people for all over the country flock into to lagos the harder it is to implement some basic amenity and pay teachers salary. even the teachers are over worked in lagos and that is why they always demand increased salary every 2 years just in lagos.

I do not think buhari is given power to the NW in any form, I believe we are one and if the NW, SW, SS NC and SE gets better the people of NE would enjoy from it.

i mean i was born in lagos but i am a kanuri man and i have enjoyed ever single advantage of being a SW can have in lagos so i do not see him dymystifying the NW

(i hope  dymystification means giving power because me i do not know grammar ooo)

ok just leave people in the sSoutheastand south south to vote who ever they wish to vote, some of them are also  voting ribadu  like my mum and some of my friends but majority will vote GEJ cus he is popular there and they are fed up of northern  rule abi u never tire after 40 years  ,we should more concerned about having a free and fair election.

EzeUche:
Haven't you realized Igbos do not give a dammn about politics? Igbo elite only cry about the presidency. Igbos are out there hustling.

it will take them 1000 years to realize that, they can eat aso rock while we colonize them economically

Alj Uche:
has ACN been voted for in igboland

are you suffering from attention deficit? we dont need do or die politics but if they present a good candidate like Ngige and conduct their campaign peacefully like every other party does in the south east without bringing in rascality like they did in akwa ibom then those that want to vote them can do so. so far ribadu and buhari are not serious with campaign in the southeast and south south, the average market woman in the south south and south east dont even know who ribadu is the rest will never vote for any past military dictator especially hausa/fulani one.

if buhari or ribadu wins we are still goin for presidency in 2015 but if GEJ wins the north can complete their tenure after GEJ then south east after the north its no big deal.

nobody will comment on it they are busy looking for igbo threads to spill their stupidity

OYINBOGOJU:
Kidnapping has the proof to take care of their unborn child as long as those foreign companies remain in Nigeria.

The best lagacy you can leave for your Children in Igboland is HOW TO KIDNAP SUCCESSFULLY

better kidnap for money than use people for rituals as seen in yorubaland.

Orikinla:
Awon Yoruba ronu, Olorun ti gbo adura won.  Ndigbo kwesiri ma onye bu odoziobodo dika Fashola.  I am totally a universal spirit. Dame Patience Goodluck is even related to my Umuahia family, but I am not a tribalist. What Igbos should think of is who has the proof of truly caring for them and their children. And not who is bearing an Igbo name. I told Amb. Raph Uwechue, the President- General of Ohanaeze Idigbo that asking Idigbo to support and vote for the PDP and GEJ, because he also has the Igbo names of Ebele Azikiwe is childish and foolish.  Let us compare and contrast. What did GEJ achieve as a public servant in the last 20 years against what Nuhu Ribadu achieved as a public servant in the last 20 years? Then again what are the capabilities of VP Namadi Sambo compared to the leadership qualities of Fola Adeola for the administration of Nigeria in the competitive world of the 21st century?

ewu so its ACN that is feeding all the igbo people in southeast and southsouth and other parts of nigeria. or its ACN thats giving out scholarship in imo,abi,rivers,enugu and delta.

your talking of adenugu, what of mtn , rainbownet, visafone igbo controlled  telecoms that have been employing nigerians  and supporting nigerian  artists.

maybe its ACN that made nnewi the japan of africa .aba,onitsha, portharcourt,abakiliki the manufacturing and buisness hub of nigeria.

was it also ACN that made south east the least region affected with unemployment, illiteracy and poverty in nigeria?

to add pepper to injury you mentioned ACN is based on awo's policy, maybe after voting ACN we should expect the igbos to be striped of all their money and property and given 20 thousand naira.

i tire for nairaland.

another jobless poster

fstranger3:
Misplaced priority really

Another avenue to steal our money


hmmmm

hahahha when i call you a dummy your fellow yoruabas will think am insulting all yoruba people , now they have confirmed how silly you are.states like ,bayelsa,delta,imo,abia,edo and  rivers have been doing the same time for a long time now

seal777:
Wonder why elections were free, fair and reflective of peoples choice in south west and rigged wit violence, corruption and inconclusive results in major part of south east.

A house divided against itself is bound to fail.

are you on drugs? which part of southeast did you witness violence and corruption during elections? in your empty skull not voting for ACN means the results were rigged .

Desola:
You sing the same tune; change the record, please!

In 12 years of government, you can only boast of an airport and what again? When will you start asking for what you deserve and not be appeased with crumbs? An international airport should be a thing of the past! Tell me what other substantial developments the Ndigbo have enjoyed and I dare you to name 10!

on the contrary the only thing they are not enjoying is the same thing the whole of nigeria is not enjoying and that's electricity, railway, good roads, decongestion of Lagos port by opening onitsha port , incompetent police, apart from that we are tackling the rest of the problems ourselves with good governors and entrepreneurs. there are more airports in igbo land than anyother part of Nigeria including owerri airport built by imo indigeins. with the high manufacturing and buisness activities in  portharcourt ,onitsha,aba,abakiliki and nnewi we seems to be doing great economically.

wetin concern you with SA you should be worried the problems in nigeria

hehehehe i love my igbo people , lets not be distracted by what this people think about us after all the united nation and other international organisations are going around preaching the power of one and individual development as the only way to tackle absolute poverty , illiteracy ethnic and religious violence in the world , something we the igbos have been praticing since existence,that's why you never hear of religious ,ethnic or political riots in igbo land , every man is special and important.

we only need to kick out T.A orji of abia, ebonyi ,delta and imo we will get the right people in all our states soon irrespective of the party they belong to.

wats the point of him contesting since the south westerners are voting ACN ?
