You need to learn how to read to understand.

Most of you are to emotional.

Fashola said that we need to ask ourselves real and simple questions like "why is the noise for separation louder than than say 20 years ago?"

The answer is obviously the growing rate of poverty and limited economic prospects for the Youth.

We need to restructure our economy.

No. It is not your hunger or anything.
It is bound to happen.
We were never made to be one. We share nothing, we have conflicting cultures and idea about life, economy and future.

Answer me these few questions.

1. From your nation's perspective, where do you see your people in the next 100 years?

2. Does it align with the way the other nations view it?

We are just wasting time forcing ourselves on each other in order to make white people happy or see us as "civilised" according to their own definition.
The same definition they couldn't practice in Europe

Meet - Miracle Izuchuwu, 23-year-old Nigerian born Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot (candidate) and Flight Attendant at American Airlines. She recently joined the elite group of 7% of females and 1% of black female Pilots in the world.

"I who grew up in a society that did not encourage young girls to dream big, career-wise. I remember watching lots of TED Talks to give myself more insights on possible careers that might interest me...to no avail," said Miracle.

In 2019, she had an encounter with an Airline Pilot while working as a customer service rep. He opened her eyes to the possibility of becoming a Pilot. A few weeks later, she went on a discovery flight that sealed it for her.

"I came home that day, called my father, and told him I was considering becoming a professional Pilot.

He said, and I quote: "if he gets on a plane and sees a woman as the Pilot, he would get off the plane" words cannot explain the pain and confusion I felt. I needed that validation," she narrated.

"What if, in raising children, we focus on ability instead of gender?

In a world that wants us to whisper, I choose to shout," concluded Miracle.

All I can say is "She is the hallmark of beauty"

Soludo: Industrialist wants revenue touts off Anambra roads
By Chinonso Ihekire

[FILES] Soludo

As the good people of Anambra State continue to bask in the euphoria of the just concluded governorship election won by former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the Chairman/CEO of MACDON Group of Companies, Chief Mike Emerah, has called on the governor-elect to get ready to bring his expertise to bear on revenue services in the state and by so doing flush out touts and those milking the treasury.

Speaking on his expectations from the governor-elect, Emerah decried the method of revenue collection in the state, observing that the way touts parade tickets and demand for payments from motorists, traders and wheelbarrow pushers at the markets, motor parks and bus stops was very crude and unacceptable.

He wondered why the job of revenue collection should be left in the hands of touts, noting that the involvement of touts in revenue services amounts to corruption and economic sabotage.

He blamed the menace of touting on the agents contracted by the state Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce, noting that the Commissioners for the two ministries shouldn’t allow agents to engage touts as revenue collectors.

“Soludo has to stop the crude way of revenue collection in Anambra State and ensure adequate supervision of the activities of Ministries of Transport and Trade and Commerce to prevent corruption and economic sabotage. He has to ensure that the revenue of the state is safe, secure and used for the purpose of executing development projects on education, health care services and roads, among others,” he said.

He stressed that touting was not supposed to be seen in Anambra State, which prides itself as the Light of the Nation, in this digital age.

Emerah also drew the attention of the governor-elect to the plight of investors and industrialists in the state, noting that he has to create a conducive environment for them to enable them to sustain, expand and create more jobs for residents.

“The clamour to attract investors into the state is a welcome development, but attention has to be given to us that is existing so that we can expand and churn out more jobs. We need government’s support for sustenance and expansion,” he added.

Endorsed.

This is the main thing we should be clamoring for in Anambra not chasing shadows.

There has never been development without ease of business and movement.

The Crimals and Fools empowerment program called Touting by the Government should stop.

This is Juliusmalema, aka Osagyefo8. In the whole of Nairaland from the past 10 years, the only person that have used the exact phrase the guy is using here is Yyseke aka Juliusmalema aka maleszewani aka osagyefo8.

@bkayy @slayerforever

Holy gram. That dude has been moving around the Internet like a wandering evil spirit sowing discord among Ndigbo for the past decade.

Geez, this is freaky.

But anaghị eji utu eyi akwụna ụjọ. I am active now, so his evil mission has come to an end

We can keep fooling ourselves for as long as we like but the truth is that Nigeria is not a Nation.

A Nation can be defined as people united by common ancestry, language and culture.

Who ever calls Nigeria a Nation is simply an educated Illiterate.

If Europe can achieve peace, stability and tremendous development by restructuring their wretched barren land into Country's made up of nations, why can't we?
Are we not human enough like them?
Or do they have two heads in Europe?

Ekealterego:
Well, the problem is, Ndi Ngwa are way too Igbocentric to go towards the direction you are seeking. Too stubborn to even go towards the direction you seek. Another problem you might encounter is that Ngwaland is now too cosmopolitan and weaves well into the ethnic progress.
Ngwa is too obsessed with IPOB and MNK to even entertain your dreams. Generally they don't share that sentiments.
Ngwa are also one of the most Igbotic group out there, most behave like Abaribe. I guess this is what you are rebelling against.

What is happening here is exactly the problem with Abia state. The tribalism I have been advocating against.
I wonder why they haven't seen that this tribalism is the main problem why their state is in shambles.

Honestly, left for me I will advocate that they repartition the state except that I don't see much difference except if Ngwá might be partitioned with Ikwerre but that will bring about the case of two captain in one ship.

I don't know what brought about this Shameless tribalism they allowed to eat deep within them.

Mr ChinenyeN, I have two question for you.

1. Do you see this tribalism within you guys in Abia ending anytime soon?
2. Don't you think that this tribalism is the rock blocking the development in Abia state?

Ekealterego:
The problem is that you assume that these are exclusive knowledge of yours.

Now, I see where your problem lies, you don't actually read history or much aware of cultural evolution no understand the evolution of ethnic cohesion. And even if you know, you do not know how to apply that knowledge.

For all history, no ethnicity started as one homogenous, mono-cultural creation. However, things events in history like a common enemy, famine, rise of a dominant religion or powerful empire can arise to bind these people together. However an underlying factor behind the success of such ethnic powers and it's sustainability is usually "language".

"Italy" were just kingdoms with no sense of national cohesion until the rise of powers in Europe made them see the need to unite based on the similarities that bind them together. Same with the German ethnic group. The English people understand their differences very well.. from the Northener in Newcastle to the Scouser to the Southerner in London.
However, England as a cohesive ethnic group conquered the world.

Nice one. Absolutely on point

Landmack:
Honestly I am not happy with this reoccurring issue. This is what the northerners use to insult and rubbish our tribe...making us a laughing stock.

I believe we can put an end to it forever.

It is a culture me imitated from Lagos. We don't even have an indigenous name for it, so we call it "Agbero".

Since it is not indigenous, its foundation is not strong and because it is maintained by Government (unfortunately) with the right pressure it can be scrapped.

Thuggery is not part of who we are.
Ego ani, ego ibu, ego "whatever" is not how we do business.

Agbero/Thuggery is a clear "Fools and Criminal empowerment program by the state Government.
The same program that nearly robbed us of our state few weeks ago..
The same program that robbed us of our night life.
The program that robbed us of our comfort while travelling or shopping in our state
The same program that robbed us of our mental and emotional health.

Landmack:
You pple are here talking about tax. Most Anambraians don’t take govt tax serious because of this rubbish carried out by touts. Like I used to say Anambraians are peace loving and law abiding pple if only the govt will organize themselves.

Why are touts of Onitsha disturbing and harassing Anambra sons and daughters on their father land? Why all these illegal collections and the govt is so quiet. Why are our pple always complaining on social media about these touts?
Who are these touts?
And who in devil’s name is backing them to continue to harass our pple?
Why must Onitsha always be in the news for the wrong reasons because of these touts?

Just look at

I must commend this your comment.
This is the first thing that needs to be addressed in our state. If there must be physical means of collecting direct tax from people and motorists then it must be in a civilised way.

One can't empower fools and hope for no destruction. The use of touts for any purpose by the government should be abolished. It is already a stain in our history as a state that we should terminate and use to reflect as part of the mistakes we made.

Most of our people criticise toll gates but have not presented solutions to the use of touts to collect what the Government see as tax from the motorists.

I believe what happened in the last few months should have taught us a lesson. The main contributor to crime in Anambra is the existence of Government sponsored touts
At day, they are government informal workers but can any of us tell what they do at night? Or what the peers they keep with them do?

The main thing needed for a place that wants economic improvement and development is ease of doing business, (something I don't think is achievable if we keep harbouring touts as Government workers), then followed by long term projects. That is projects envisioned for a long term purpose.

"Open Defecation"

We know those they are talking about.

Ans for the record, I didn't call names. Quote me and Amadioha will strike your left balls

Igboid:
Anambra shares boundaries with Abia at Isuochi area. Between Isuochi (Umunneochi LGA) and Orumba South (Owerre Ezukalla).

But nwanne I understand your point though.
Pay these lots no attention dear.

Yes, you are correct.
People used that route to get to Abia during lockdown.

The more any reasonable nation stays with these Nigerians, the more they become corrupted.

The existence of Nigeria is a threat to Black peoples future

Idafire:
Sense is far from you.
You don't know that sometimes or most times they use position to entice people.

Does the Anambra man love the Ebonyi man??
Stop foaming in the mouth like you love each other.
Such love online exist online.
Now, run along boy.

Ngwa is not ibo

How do you measure love?

Kai kai sef

Idafire:
Before, Una love unaself.??
The Anambra man don't even know the Ebonyi man as Ibo man and you are here foaming in the mouth.

The Anambra man hates the Abia man and you claim love only online.
No such love exist among you lots.

Anambra neither share borders/boundaries with Ebonyi nor Abia, so one would wonder where your theory is coming from.

I guess your kai kai didn't allow you to notice that

States that share borders with Anambra are Enugu, Imo, Delta, Kogi and Rivers.

SlayerForever:
The guy is a real comedian

Na drunk people na, they are naturally funny.

Idafire:
Keep quite there you non Ibo boy or you think I don't know you.
You are suppose to join the OP in separating yourself from anything Ibo.
Speaking Ibo alone doesn't make one Ibo.
Slayerforever you are not Ibo. I know you very well.
You can't do ish. Ngwa man near you, you haven't dealt with him na me Ijaw man,?? Hahahaha

If he is not Igbo, then why are you attacking him?

Lol, Ndi kai kai sef

angelEmade:
If God and nature created us this way, to be unique and different, why are they forcing us to stick together? France, Portugal, USA, Korea, England, Germany, Russia, many more!...everyone in each of those countries speak their own unique lang.

Because to them, Black people are not human enough to live the way they (whites) do in Europe.

Waterysperm:
Agulu is not an Igbo town, it belongs to we Aguluans.

Nna, obi gbarikwara gị oh. Which kind one be "Aguluans" . You funny like mad.

Anyways, Okigwe is not an Igbo town, it belongs to Okigwe people

aremuforlife:
Was it as great as today?
Calaba was formal capital of Nigeria
Abuja is the present capital of Nigeria

Lagos was better then than today if you must know. Statistics say as much.
I think this might help you
https://www.nairaland.com/929914/pictures-lagos-before-crude-oil

As for Calabar and Abuja, are they in anyway bad?
Even Calabar that wasn't capital for long is still as beautiful.

aremuforlife:
Whatever happens in lagos start from Tinubu, I don't when you are born, but I was of age when Tinubu took over from the military in 1999, go and check lagos state master plan, who plan it and when was it plan, go back and check how much lagos state generates before Tinubu and how much Tinubu change it to.
Even Fashola will neve agree with you.

Lagos was Nigerias former capital remember?
Planned by the whites.

ImembaN:
..
For your information Ikpeazu is ruling Abia from Obingwa...
and yes Umuahia belongs to the Ibeku people...
When Abia state was created we Ngwa people protested against it...we wanted a separate state for our self...
It is you Umu Onhunhu that was begging for UNITY... we are still asking the federal government for ABA state...

Note: we don't belong to the same ethnic group with you Igbos... most of us (like myself) don't even identify as Igbos...we are more related to the IKWERRE people than the Igbos...

Whatever you said doesn't change the fact that Igbo-ukwu is not an Igbo town, it belongs to Ụmụ Nri people

ImembaN:
I still get amazed why Igbos love drinking panadol for our (headache)...
Igbos please focus on your village and leave our village for us...
It not our fault that our village is attracting immigrants faster than the govt is developing it...
If you are not comfortable with our son OKEZIE IKPEAZU then make use of the ballot box.. but remember we are the extreme majority... and we will prove it again just as we did before...

Osagyefo98:
Garrout.


Na this shit or filthy u want Igbo to claim?

Carry the Aba plus Ngwa Waka go

Inukwam

Both of them are now here to act film for us.

Watch as Juluismalama representing Nigeria's move to destabilise Igboland wrestle with the funny dude

Enugu is not an Igbo town, it belongs to Enugu people.

Join the chorus if you know the lyrics

She is beautiful.

Those that say otherwise are intimidated for a valid reason and that reason is because she is not among their group of ugliness.

It is natural for some people to hate those that are more appealing than them.

A friendly reminder that she is Ẹdo so that you people can face your fear directly

aremuforlife:
Go back and check all what fashola did was continuation of Tinubu

The same way whatever anybody that will later save Abia state will be termed as continuation of T. A Orji and OUK by their urchins.

Oga give honour to whom honour is due.
Whatever happened is Lagos is Fashola's sweat.

Tinubu transform lagos?

Lol. This is the Funniest joke out there. I never knew Fashola's middle name is Tinubu

Anyways, if Lagos is the hallmark of what you Nigerians call development then my promising people have nothing to gain from wasting any more time with you lots.

Most humans have looting gene in their DNA. It is not about status.

So if you think rich people are wicked? Try poor people.
Imagine dividing both the cost price and profit into two, pocket half and hand over half to the establishment that employed her, then expect to be paid from the remaining half which the profit and half of the cost price has been removed by her.

You still pity poor people? Give them a chance.
If you are an employer.. Don't take chances with anybody no matter how innocent they may look

flokii:
What is lie there?

Onicha that is now called Onitsha belongs to binis, it's a widely known fact. So the area Igbos cover in Anambra is just a small part.

In SW the only place that doesn't have much Igala influence during the centuries of Igala colonisation is Ekiti axis, parts of Ondo and Awori because Bini had total control of them especially Adọ-Ekiti which still trace her ancestry to Bini.

Till date what Ekiti people speak is totally different from the lingua Franca imposed by Igala on what later became Yorubas of today and subsequently the lingua Franca turned to Yoruba language retaining most of its original Igala words.

This is why Yorubas have difficulty understanding an average Ondo person, Ekiti and Awori

The prey on defenseless targets. Right now they are not pushing towards SE or SS.

Normally, their route was mapped out to be Adamawa to Calabar then occupy the uninhabited forests of Cross Rivers but the Cameroon Civil war and IPOB thwarted it because if they do they will now be in between Ambazonia and IPOB's ESN. This will be like sacrificing themselves for nothing so they mapped out another route.
Now they are heading to the next defenseless nation outside Middle Belt and that is SW
