Not only are you a complete ode, now you have shown from your very poor English that you are a complete olodo.

Even the minutest of animals in the forest make more reason that you and your entire paraga drinking generation. Anyway, you showed yourself off as a bus stop boy popularly called agbero.

No be only “film in busstop”, na fideo in busstop.

A poorly trained youth from a vagabond, igbo smoking, worthless father.

Please get off comments on social media. All you do is fart with your dirty stinking mouth. Get to elementary school first, pass through secondary school and insist that you are taught ethics and proper English. And by the way, rather than disgrace yourself with your poor English, no rule stops you from writing in your language… that is if you can.
PoliticsRe: Igbo Land Is Not Landlocked – We Have The Shortest Access To The Atlantic Ocean by Cantonese: 9:32am On Dec 14, 2023
Ikaeniyan0:
This is the most funny thing about you people grin

If we are to make a research now, you're likely an ngwa man from Abia state or osu from Imo state.

Ogwashi, Agbor and Kwale is not Igbo land.
How old are you by the way?
Ask your grandpa for clarification please. And if you grandpa fails to tell you, ask the grandpas of others from wherever you claim to come from.

People like you are from Ashama, Abala, or one tiny community and claim to come from Ogwashi, Agbor or Kwale, where you know nothing about.

You do not understand what it means by the word “research”. If you do, get that your small ass up and find out.

And by the way, what is your business talking about the SE. How have you left your communities in the SW? Face them please.
PoliticsRe: Igbo Land Is Not Landlocked – We Have The Shortest Access To The Atlantic Ocean by Cantonese: 8:58am On Dec 14, 2023
VoiceOfTheSun:
Since the Biafran War of survival, Ndi ÌGBÒ has been hit with a barrage of lies concerning the access of ÌGBÒ land to the ocean. In a condescending but rather popular phrase, our detractor says: “The South East Is Landlock.” 

But is ÌGBÒland landlocked like this generation has been made to believe and sometimes profess? The answer is NO. And in this article, we will sufficiently restate all the lies and propaganda.

What Is A Landlocked Country/Region?

To start with, we must first define what a landlocked country is. 

A country is considered landlocked when one or more countries surround it and therefore has no immediate coastline providing access to the oceans. This simply put, means that a landlocked country is a country without access to sea/ocean; a country that is inside another country or countries.

That been established, I will go ahead to mention and discuss the major ancient ÌGBÒ regions and peoples, showcasing the reach of the ÌGBÒ race, irrespective of the new tyrannical geographic displacement of ÌGBÒ lands, by the Nigerian government. This will help us grasp the vastness of the ÌGBÒ landscape, without viewing ani ÌGBÒ in the light of the recently created 5 South-Eastern states.

The ÌGBÒ People And The Areas They Dominate:

Ndi ÌGBÒ can be divided into five geographically based subcultures. We have the northern ÌGBÒ, southern ÌGBÒ, western ÌGBÒ, eastern ÌGBÒ, and northeastern ÌGBÒ. Each of these five can be further divided into subgroups based on specific locations and names. The northern or Onitsha ÌGBÒ are divided into the Nri-Awka of Onitsha and Awka; the Enugu of Nsukka, Udì, Awgu, and Okigwe; and those of the Onitsha town.

The southern or Owerri Igbo are divided into the Isu-Ama of Okigwe, Orlu, and Owerri; the Oratta-Ikwerri of Owerri and Ahoada; the Ohuhu-Ngwa of Aba and Bende; and the Isu-Item of Bende and Okigwe. The western Igbo (Ndi Anioma, as they like to call themselves) are divided into the northern Ika of Ogwashi Ukwu and Agbor; the southern Ika or Kwale of Kwale; and the Riverain of Ogwashi Uku, Onitsha, Owerri, and Ahoada. The eastern or Cross River ÌGBÒ are divided into the Ada (or Edda) of Afikpo, the Abam-Ohaffia of Bende and Okigwe, and the Aro of Aro. The northeastern ÌGBÒ includes the Ogu Uku of Abakaliki and Afikpo.

It’s important to note that Ndi ÌGBÒ are located on both sides of the River Niger and occupies most of Old-Eastern Nigeria. Ani ÌGBÒ measures over 41,000 square kilometers and includes the old provinces of Onicha, Owerri, East Rivers, Southeast Benin, Western Ogoja, and Northeast Warri.

Now that we have enunciated the far reaches of ani ÌGBÒ, let us get into geography to further provide proof that ani ÌGBÒ is not landlocked.

Continue reading the article on our website HERE, to see all the pieces of evidence that prove that Igbo land is not landlocked.
Thanks for this clarification bro.

1TrippleCee:
Whatever, Anioma, Agbor, Kwale, Ogwashi isn't igbo land


Good Day
Don’t talk about what you know nothing about please.

Get home and ask your grandpa where the name Ogwashi was coined from. Ask your grandpa to tell you where Adaigbo migrated from. Ask you grandpa to interprete Ogwa and the Nshi that make up Ogwashi to you. Ask you grandpa to tell you how Ikelike in Ogwashi came about.

When you hear the history, never wrongly claim that Ogwashi uku, Ubulu uku, Igbuzo, etc are not Igbos. By the way ask you grandpa why Ogwashi has Umu Onicha as part of the villages that make it up.

PoliticsRe: FG Officially Presents 4Ds As New Foreign Policy Documents by Cantonese: 6:49am On Dec 14, 2023
Hmm.

Where is the democracy in the elections where the conscience of the people is bought with money and the people left in abject misery and poverty?

Where is the democracy when the votes of the citizens do not matter?

Where is the democracy when those in power use the security agencies to perpetuate themselves in power?

As the most populous black nation, where are the good democratic examples that we show to the other nations, when it is impossible for us to get it right?

By the way, Liberia just came of of a very peaceful Presidential election and handover. We need to learn from them.

If our disgraceful democracy forms part of our foreign policy, something must be out of place. You cannot give what you do not have.
PoliticsRe: Rivers Lawmakers Whose Seats Were Declared Vacant Lack Sound Legal Advice–falana by Cantonese: 6:38am On Dec 14, 2023
Difrent:
It's going to be decided by election not selection.
Don't be too sure Fubara will have absolute majority.....they try if they get simple majority.
This is where Wike will show who is the grassroots politician
Let's keep our fingers crossed
No fingers crossed.

Wike advised wrongly to his legislators. The legislators or lawmakers as they are called, should have reminded themselves of the danger of decamping, especially as they are the lawmakers. You do not make laws and break them on your own willfully. Those of them who were first term lawmakers became the worst losers, following a reckless and greedy Wike.

Wike has been struggling to retain his structure in Rivers state. The governor is supposed to be part of his structure. No wonder he boasted that he purchased the tickets of the whole lot of them. His structure became an issue, when he thought that he could control the finances of the FCT and Rivers state together. He put a governor who licked his feet, but showed him exactly who he was a little later.

The governor may be new, but he obviously is not a novice. He understands the importance of controlling the political structure in the state.

Wike may have lost his so called structure. No politician has been so openly desperate in Nigeria as Wike. Even Tinubu sponsors candidates from other parties, yet he keeps it secret. Wike is the FCT minister. He has refused to decamp from PDP, from where he claims to have been made. Now he has also hijacked APC Rivers state from the likes of Amaechi, who brought APC to Rivers state. He has all his hands in his mouth and may choke himself.

While Wike was rooting for APC at the Presidential election, Rotimi Amaechi and co., APC members, rooted for PDP. When the buy election holds, expect Amaechi to give support to PDP. Expect LP to take advantage. Do you expect SDP to go to sleep? What about the citizens, seeing the monuments catastrophe inflicted on Nigerians by APC. Do you expect them to vote for APC?

Wike is fast becoming irrelevant in Rivers politics. His so called political empire up in flames right under his watch.
PoliticsRe: Senators Fume, Demand Scrapping Of AMCON Over N5 Trillion Liabilities by Cantonese:
Jimoh Ibrahim keh?

Of all people he is demanding for the scrapping of AMCON? Wonders shall never end, as they say.

He has had running battles with AMCON for years, with a debt of 69.4 billion. He also had a case of tax fraud to the tube of 6.8 billion. He became popular during OBJ’s regime, after having controversially acquired NICON insurance, etc.

How do we expect fairness from him, when he has oversight functions over the same organization that he is hugely indebted to?

The same goes for Ifeanyi Ubah, whose indebtedness stood at 135 billion. After several years of litigation, settled out of court this year, with him making refunds to AMCON and subsequently defecting to APC.

Pervasive poverty and destruction will not stop in this country until these horrible politicians are shown the way out. It will not stop until the citizens come to the realization that those they vote for simply share their common patrimony among themselves when they meet.

PoliticsRe: Isiguzo Praises Seriake Dickson On Managing His Relationship With Governor Diri by Cantonese: 5:26am On Dec 14, 2023
OP please tell us about infrastructures in Bayelsa.
What has government done to deal with poverty. Bayelsa as a small state has produced a President who served for 8 years; a minister of state for petroleum; with one of the highest allocations from the center, yet in all its years as a state, remains backward.

We must not eulogize politicians who get into positions of power to serve personal interest. The primary reason for all the agitations is poverty. What’s the government doing about food security? What’s happening to the roads? What’s happening in the health sector? Can the people access health facilities at reasonable costs and with ease?

These are things we need to hear. We have heard more than enough of politics, politicians and political parties please.

The court will interpret if there is any chaos or not, if PDP takes it to court for interpretation. Those 27 members cited the crisis surrounding the position of the party National Secretary as what engineered their cross carpeting.
Well their seats have been declared vacant by the presently recognized speaker. The instruction immediately would be transmitted to INEC and in turn INEC expected to set a schedule to by elections in their constituencies.

Expect PDP to ensure that they never return to the seats. Expect the 27 to fight in the courts. Expect Wike to use his contacts to fight. Expect APC to fight on their behalf. In all we all expect the people of Rivers state not to suffer any negative consequences of poor governance from irresponsible politicians.

And why has he not honored their invitations?
Or do you think that EFCC will just declare him wanted without making first efforts to arrest him.
Where is the politics in the fact that there is a case of embezzlement of public funds.

Will Wike’s men call it illegal?
Will Wike’s men say their seats are intact?
Will Wike’s 27 declare the seats of the other 4 vacant?
Will Wike’s men use the courts to keep themselves?
Will Wike’s 27 still wait for funding from Funbara?
Where will Wike’s men sit in another venue?
Do Wike’s 27 have a mace?
Who now controls PDP Rivers state between Wike and Funbara?
Has PDP national reclaimed the structure from Wike?
Will Fubara physically harass Wike on the streets as Wike physically harassed Amaechi?

In all Rivers state, just as other states must move ahead progressively. The citizens must not be made to suffer for the the irresponsible acts of their politicians.

cyrusmillz:
Self made billionaires in naira or dollars ?
Are we talking about those that became billionaires through government contracts or embezzlement of public funds with no accountability?

Or is it the one through government monopoly or individuals that were awarded oil blocs ? Or even the ones that were given the Niger delta security contracts, contract so huge that he could afford to build a university in another country . Let's not even talk about Fx round tripping billionaires or even the religious billionaires ?

To only a few are truly self made. Those who have a traceable history and can actually tell their own story and not just tell us " na God oh "

Believe any so called self made billionaire at your own risk sad
Mike Adenuga was busy in America driving taxis until his friend who was the son of a Brigadier introduced him to his father. He returned to Nigeria, got connected to IBB and got army contracts to build barracks, etc. Thereafter he ventured into tomato puree importation, got money, purchased Devcon merchant bank and Equitorial trust bank. They sold former national oil to him, which became Conoil, as he through his military contacts, ventured into oil. The rest became history. He made his riches through the military.

The same with Dangote who got a loan from his maternal Uncle, Dantata. They used the advantage of their region and the military too. He has always been in the news using government to support himself, while fighting other to stay at the top.

Folorunsho Akakija, known in the eighties as Supreme stitches. A popular fashion designer with military connections. Story of her rise through IBB, who gave her the oil block is not hidden.

Which one of them can you address as “self made”? They made it through government please and not through skills or industry.
