Only a yoruba would actually believe they can fake being Igbo on the internet without ever been in SE, don't speak the language,don't understand the culture and still wonder how people didn't fall for his too obvious lies. Why don't you also fake being Chinese, when you don't know where their capital city is located ?
I have come to realize it is the most dumb amongst human beings that usually believe others are dumb. Intelligent people are often aware that there are other intelligent people in the world.

When the news broke that Enugu ranked 3rd in the IGR table, i became very apprehensive. Over taxation is not good for any business. In fact one prominent Enugu man was complaining bitterly that businesses are closing down in Enugu and moving to other states due to multiple taxation. Somebody had once complained to me that he closed his business in Enugu because of taxes and levies.

The major problem we Igbos have is that we are always eager to have a return on investment at the shortest possible time, if not we close down the business. Igboland needs to attract as much businesses as possible, both small and medium scale, and taxation and levies should not be used to close scare them. In fact no business should pay any tax until it's viability is ascertained. We should learn from the wisdom of the Yoruba man. The Yoruba man made his land so welcoming that once you come in there no one troubles. They leave you to grow your business first before thinking of taxing you but the foolish Igbo man would rather close down your business even before the business starts. Today Lagos state makes more 200b naira from IGR, yet waxing stronger.

Yes one may argue that the state government needs money to deliver infrastructure but what is the point building houses if you have no one to live in them after completion. We should first attract and encourage businesses before taxing them. I received the news about Enugu IGR moving up to 6billion because i was wondering which business in Enugu contributed that amount except the already overburdened ones.

Please, we must understand that once you overtax people and their businesses, they will quietly close down and move to other states and you will never be able to have them back again.

The white people who attract tourists to their country are not foolish. We must emulate them.

The large gray area to the left in the second pic is the ogbete main market.
Also in the second pic, to the left, the well organised layout is the coal camp, at the left bottom of same pic is a part of old site of UNTH.

The third and fouth pic gives a wider view. Note: the third pic is in a different orientation but the same area.

haffaze777: ABUJA—The military has arrested a foreign computer
expert who is said to be behind the several video shots
sent to online media organisation and foreign media
houses.
He was said to have been arrested with some
sophisticated equipment and copies of some of the
videos the terrorists had sent to online media houses on
their escapades, including that of the abducted Chibok
girls, it was learnt.
Military sources disclosed that the computer analyst
who is currently being interrogated was responsible for
configuring computer images website and internet
accesses for the group.
Sources said he was arrested after a shoot-out when a
group of the sect members mobilised and attacked
Konduga with a view to recovering the body of the
impostor of Abubakar Shekau for burial in a site they
would later earmark as their shrine.
Vanguard further gathered that the foreigner has made
shocking confessional statements about the terrorists’
plans and modus operandi as well as their backers that
would aid the troops in their fight against Boko Haram
insurgency.
“We have made a very big breakthrough; the computer
analyst is opening up and has made very big
revelations on the modus operandi of the sect.
“We also discovered that the ICT expert is the
backbone of the signals and communication links of
late impersonator, Mohammed Bashir, who always
posed as Abubakar Shekau, whenever he is talking on
“youtube”.
With the breakthrough, the military is said to be better
informed on how the impostor of Shekau was able to
reach out to the world and claim victory over Nigerian
troops after several attacks.

passion007: ^ It's 'Abakpa' rather than 'Agbakpa'.
You need to get the spelling right so we don't mistake you for ndiofe.

Yes, Enugu has her fair share of slums. With rural-urban migration, it is inevitable that such slums will crop up to cater to immigrating persons who want accommodation on the cheap.
Abakpa is a village of the Nike people, and the trouble with such land is that it is owned piece by piece, square metre by square metre. As such, any Govt that attempts to raze the slum must be ready to spare no expense. To put things in perspective, when houses were demolished around Ozalla to give way for the Ozalla-Udi Highway, our neighbour's grandma was paid N3.5m to offset her expenses. Now, Abakpa is not on the outskirts but rather it sits on a choice area bordered by New Haven, Trans Ekulu, and is in fact the home of the 82 Division Army HQ. That's a lot of value in real estate.
Theroretically, I support that the place be razed and rebuilt, but can our government do that? The cost of buying back the land alone is daunting. Now add that to the cost of relocating the myriad of persons who own land there, even if such land is no larger than a square metre. And then the cost of rebuilding. Plus, the governor must be ready to wear the toga of "Heartless and Elitist". Abakpa is home to very many persons. It is probably the densest part of Enugu. Considering these, I think it is safer not to raze the area. The Gynecologists have a saying about some tumors : " if it's not symptomatic, leave it alone!"

lonelydora: With the recent comments by Nairalanders on ''First Ebola case in America'', it is obvious that not all Nigerians(in this case, Nairalanders) like America. Is it because of the way they treated Nigeria when we they refused us Zmapp or is it just natural hatred??

Mine is because they use propaganda in almost everything they do. But I still love the way the citizens cherish that country.

What are your reason(s) for hating America?

standupguy: Aba started off very very well but like you said poor infrastructure, power and anti people policy's has kept the city from growing.
My father used to be a major distributor of philips electronics assembled in Aba in the 70s.
I have an uncle too who had more than 5 factories in Aba in the 70s up till the mid 90s, factories making (crown cock for nbl, nails for carpenters,processing of plastics raw materials, make shoe sole, and assembling electronics). All factories are dead today but only one.

Like you said hospitality is an industry of its own but i am talking about that man in ariaria making shoes refining his products to world class expanding to an industrial scale.

dekronik: I promised not to create any BH related thread again, due to constant bashing I get from some NLers who think I support BH. But this news is so funny and true I can't help but share it.
