Boko Haram and the North are already doing enough destroying Nigeria, nothing unites the rest of the country than the voice of the Igbo man. Let us take the back seat and let the wickedness of these people be obvious to the rest of the world.

If anything all I will expect from South East Governors is to encourage Igbos in the North to come back home and start a new life. Thats about it.

We are doing just fine. They are already digging a hole for themselves. There is no need engaging a drowning man in a fight!!!

Nigeria bidogo da ba!

Onye ga edu anyi?

alj_harem:
I would like to say my condolences for the lose. It is a very very sad event and time for Nigerians.

I would also like to tell afam4eve and ezeuche to please control their anger and should not make it an igbo problem but Nigerians.

We are in a period in our nation were people are using this ethnic thing to cause discord among brothers.

I am really sorry for the lose once again

South Africa's President, Jacob Zuma The South African Preident says his country is ready to patner Nigeria to rid Africa of terrorism

South Africa's President, Jacob Zuma, on Thursday condoled with the Federal Government on the death of some Nigerians in the Christmas Day bomb attacks on some churches.

A statement by the Department of International Relation and Co-operation said Mr. Zuma also condemned the series of attacks which killed many people and damaged property in the country.

“Following the attacks of December 25, President Zuma has conveyed his heartfelt condolences to President Goodluck Jonathan, the Government and the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria particularly families of the deceased and the injured, ’’ the statement said.

The statement recalled that Zuma had during his recent visit to Nigeria pledged South Africa's willingness to work with Nigeria, within the ambit of the AU, to rid Africa of terrorism and other related ills.

Meanwhile, the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) of South Africa has also condemned the Christmas Day bomb attacks.

In a statement signed by its leader Abdul-Khaliq Allie, the Council said the act of violence by the militant Islamic group Boko Haram, who claimed responsibility for the attacks, was against the teaching of Islam.

“We condemn the killing of Christian worshippers. These killings can never be an act to be recorded in the name of Islam,” the statement said.

What is the mixture of Ondo State? Eating dog is not about any mixture. Dog is an "eran" Ògún from time immemorial, so when the blood has been offered to the Orisha, the meats are shared. Same things go for the other "eran" Orisha. I have eaten dog before both the ones offered to Ògún and the none ritualized ones. Oma Ilaje mo de gha rin.

ShangoThor:
Chyz, the only reason why the Nation State is not working is because of how it is structured. Are we so arrogant that we cannot agree to let the people decide in a U.N. Sponsored Referendum?

Andre Uweh:
I also followed the events at that conference in Lagos. Most of them who spoke reiterated the need to join Anioma. I have copies of the speeches delivered.

Andre Uweh:
Why do you not want them to be with their kits and kins in Igbo areas or states?.

Negro_Ntns:
Hey Chyz, we sent that swagger dude to his grave using a decoyed poussie. lol! Swagger pass swagger!!

Anytime you mention Yoruba in your post, its like an open invitation. If you dont want us in your discussion then dont discuss us.

what will you use to demolish us again?OPC or IHEJIRIKA  every other tribe in Nigeria are begging for forgiveness Yoruba remain, or are you more sophisticated than those groups that said they are sorry for joining Hausa/Fulani

Bliss4Lyfe:
Obiagu1 were is your source?

DRANOEL:
gutter nonsense! why are igbo's always trying to play the victims here?

history cannot be denied! flash back 1966, a group of igbo soldiers(mostly anioma) out of no just reason decided to murder cold bloodedly(if u've read the story well, u will knw how they massacred their victims) northern officers and politicians including lt.col pam(a middle belter) thus establishing nigeria's 1st tribal hate war! aguyi ironsi(after cajoling the ministers) assumed office and refused to bring the murderers to book instead made military appointments with igbo coloration thus establishing nigeria's 1st nepotic administration! igbo traders out of sheer stupidity taunted the northerners around them celebrating nzeogwu as a hero and the result; july 1966, which eventually led to the civil war! the rest of the country having been inroduced to this inhuman violence called 1st coup or revolution(depending on your bias) fought the igbos and history was made!
nobody(these middle belt groups) should try and re write history because of current convenience! with out a doubt the misadventure of jan 1966 introduced mlitary rule,unitary system of govt(what we mistakenly refer to as federalism),nepotism and tribal hate!

no one should try to re write history because of current situations!

[size=13pt]Nigeria: IFC to Finance Second Niger Bridge[/size]

Michael Eboh, Favour Agbi And Olabisi Moshoba

15 November 2011




The International Finance Corporation, IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has said it will finance the construction of the second Niger Bridge.

The IFC in a statement made available to Vanguard, said its decision to finance the project is coming on the heels of a request by the Federal Government of Nigeria to that effect.

The IFC also said that it will provide advisory services for a new public-private partnership to build a hospital in Cross River State.

Speaking at the opening session of the Africa Regional Public-Private Partnership Conference, sponsored by IFC, the World Bank's Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility, and Nigeria's Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, in Lagos, Jean Philippe Prosper, IFC Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, said the financing of the second Niger bridge is in realization of the fact that Africa requires more than $90 billion annually in investment in maintenance and new projects, but is spending less than half of that.

According to him, well-structured Public-Private Partnerships in physical and social infrastructure are a priority for IFC because they can help African governments raise the large sums of capital required to meet infrastructure needs in energy, health, logistics, transportation, and water and sanitation.

Prosper said the IFC Advisory Services mandate will help the Cross River State government identify a private company to build and operate a new hospital.

"It builds on a successful mandate IFC received to help the government of Lesotho attract a private investor to build a world-class hospital in Maseru that opened in October. IFC will also consider the feasibility of a public-private partnership that would lead to investment for a second Niger River bridge crossing," he said.

Also speaking, Yolande Duhem, IFC Director for West and Central Africa said, "There is a large body of economic research that shows infrastructure investment results in more growth and poverty reduction. We thank the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility, PPIAF and the government of Nigeria for working together with IFC on this conference to promote these important partnerships.

"The impact of the infrastructure deficit is enormous. The World Bank, for example, estimates that the Nigerian manufacturing sector must bear additional indirect costs amounting to 16 percent of sales because of bottlenecks in the business environment, much of it related to infrastructure. Losses due to power outages alone amount to 10 percent of sales."

May God slaughter IBB very fast. Amen.

alj_harem:
we can also say everyone is mixed with Igbos, or can't we ?

As Abagworo rightly said, no ethnic group is pure but all we do is just use our immediate environment to call ourself so and so ethnic group.

Chyz, you might even have Kanuri and Ijaw blood in you without realising. Or better still yoruba blood.

Do you see my point, also delta is a mixture of all groups. Iwere aka Warri is a yoruba enclave

alj_harem:
haba chyz, how ?

Today's midwest has yoruba groups in them, also Igbos

midwest was caved out of the west. so why are you angry by the statement ?

tpia@:
^You're alarming yourself over nothing.

Nobody is claiming anything you're saying here so try to sheath your sword.

[s]The midwest through the southwest [/s] is a mixture of people who are mainly creolized- that's a well known fact.

That's why pidgin is a common lingua franca there.
