honeric01: Hehehe, you mean the gala hawker get loans from the whole village? a loan from the whole village can only raise funds to hawk gala which brings in 1k profit daily at most? loan to sell gala? my igbo brothers are wiser than this man. stop insulting my friends.

All in all, my igbo bros are industrious but those selling gala aren't doing themselves any favor because they are really slaving away.

ayo011: Anambra is one SE state that I love with passion. It can only be compared to Lagos and Rivers economically in the entire Nigeria.


[b]"National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) shows that Anambra State has an unemployment rate of between 10 per cent and 11 per cent which is about that of the United States of America and less than Greece which is about 25 per cent."

kingoflag: Yup, lets blame the lack of competing power on the loss of the civil war. smh

one.east:
Thats the point am trying to make. Nkwo is my home town and my mom is from Isikwe-Achi, do you know that the road from Oji River to Achi is highly inaccessible and unmotorable. Infact I couldn't even travel in my car to Achi to see my maternal home because of bad road. Until we have a governor in Enugu state that will develop the rural areas enugu state will continue to be 75% rural and poor.

fubbyy: Mr man, I was born in owerri (ikenegbu) grew up in owerri, did my primary and secondary sch in owerri, I sch and graduated in unical, this is 8 years for me in this cally town so I'm the best judge to comapre the 2 cities

No money in calabar, am sure of that but you saying that cali is boring made it clear to me that you have never crossed itu bridge let alone coming 2 calabar or maybe you didn't have any money nor know any1 when you visited

Owerri is a refined village, its ok but not 2 compare it liveliness with that of cali, I dislike that town, I even wonder why people are mentioning it here, maybe I feel its this bad because that's where I spent much of my time, "2much familiarity makes the price go down" .....robert green

jarkatá: Victorial-island
Ikeja
Abuja
Calabar
Portharcout
Uyo
Kaduna
Kano
Asaba
Ilorin
Akure
Minna

Spirit of Okija: I stopped reading after Aba Second to Lagos in terms of money.. Like which Planet do you live on sef?

vladimiros: man, Let me give an example. My family has shops at MCC, every Calabar Carnival we double price and sales don't dissapoint

sinc eth Carnival passes through my house, during normal holidays some people just pass by to see, and ask and most times foreigners who are just visiting

Orikinla: [size=28pt]There are only two.
Lagos and Calabar.
These are the only safe cities in Nigeria.
And without safety, a city cannot be good enough to even be called BEST![/size]

Spirit of Okija: Actually!! I absolutely agree with you..

However, one of the things about Calabar is the NNPC depot & the Cement company (UNICEM) has created jobs for many young guys.. However I want to believe that the cashflow in Calabar thrumps that of Owerri (Yahoo Yahoo town) and Enugu (civil servants town).

one.east:
Which youth? Can the youth be more powerful than government, more especially on a project that will turn their lives for good. I mean the governor should stop immediately this deception in enugu urban.
I asked earlier have you been to Udi? Udi is over 100years old, but today their is no hospital nor a commercial bank in the entire Udi. Its all because the rural areas has been left to rot away. Most people does not even spend holidays in enugu rural areas because of inaccessible nature of the place. I have a friend from Abagana, I spend my xmas every year in their town. Atimes I wish to be from the place because of how development has reached the grassroot.

Mr.chippychappy:
[size=14pt]
I see you've been trying to get back at me since i whupped your behind in that "Nigeria ranked #14 in failed states" thread.[/size]


[size=14pt]well i would love to but in case you haven't realized Nigeria is a "cash at hand" economy meaning if you don't have money no institution or bank would be willing to loan it to you except you are some influential individual .[/size]


[size=14pt]Do you know how MANY youths could gain employment if the south east experiences an agricultural boom ? Tea (yes TEA)keeps Countries such as Burundi afloat and its actually their major export ,Cocoa=Ivory coast and for your information these are COUNTRIES surviving off agriculture now imagine how rich and economically attractive a STATE would be if they invest in agriculture? If the east invests heavily in Agriculture INSTEAD of neighbouring regions / states in the SOUTH SOUTH to wait for products to come from the North they would easily buy those agricultural products from the south east and we can also export cash crops abroad. Mr Rossike i hate to say this but everyday you keep making me believe you are an ape with downs syndrome . [/size]

Aigbofa: When I mentioned this on Nairaland, I was labelled an Igbo hater. You don't have to be Nostradamus to see this, it will be gradual but it will surely happen.

Beaf: AIDS problems are highest where babes are finest.
In parts of Benue state, the babes are bloody sexy, with arses that roll to inaudible music.
I remember one girl called Ladi...

Ileke-IdI:
So the bride price guarantees a long lasting marriage?
LOL!

Omo, stop selling your sisters

Ileke-IdI:
Indeed.
Even your men can't marry your women lmao.
E get as e be.
Glad I'm Yoruba, I can marry man man on our time. Which village kinsmen wan tell say I no go wed because dem wan chop?

Omogbhollahorn: even him own wedding suit and bride price would be added to that list lol

Ileke-IdI:
LOL bashr8 cant wait for his sisters to get married.

Bet the dude has already added Mercedes Benz to his sister's bride lists

Ileke-IdI:
You're being corrected in your misinformation, yet you decide to direct your anger at Yorubaland.

Are Yorubas the one ones on this thread.

You have inferiority complex.

Women shouldn't have to be sold, they ought to marry without these traditional shackles.

Shoit the girl might even have to shift her wedding to next year just because of some hungry community kinsmens wey wan chop lol

Omogbhollahorn: you are a big fool when d husband borrow loan for wedding to fulfil kinsmen need hw he go take pay am after wedding and is that the measure for being able to cater for her needs after marriage * f*ck kinsman doz palmwine tapper where never feed wel go help u when ge happen abi

Ileke-IdI:
So you want to keep Igbo men from Igbo women?

This is what happens when you come skipping into a thread without reading the content.

It seems like a lot of Yoruba men are getting by this tradition sha lol. Maybe the poster should ask Ayodele how he does it.

Whitehorse: @Spyder,
Well done. Pls show the good, the bad and the ugly o. Though born and bred in Lagos, I'm from Enugu state and had my university education there.

Was also pleasently surprised at how much the city had developed compared to what it was in the '90's.

Looking forward to all the pics!

J12: The only thing that keeps enugu alive is the student/youth population, the state is filled with old civil servants with rickety vehicles. Enugu is usually boring whenever the students are on vacation. Owerri is the place to be men. . .

Aigbofa: No, they were wrong in siding with the North not to include a secession clause in the constitution from the start. What they could have done with a pen, they attempted to do with a gun.
