Politics › Re: Army To Stage Operation Python Dance 3 In South-East, Warns Pro-Biafra Agitators by Cjrane2: 11:09am On Aug 17, 2018
This another classical case of misuse of the national army to oppress whoever Buhari does not like.

Apart from extorting money and trying to muffle voters, why would the army go to a peaceful region with the highest number of road blocks and set up even more road blocks to extort money from commercial bus drivers and kill those who refused to bribe them?

All these actions taken to brutalize people of the SE should stop.

There has not been any IPOB demonstrations or outbreak of violence, so why is Burutai deploying troops to the SE when Boko Haram is defeating our army in NE? Our troops in the NE need help from reinforcement to stop Boko Haram.

I hope Aba recovers and pulls Abia state up to become the giant it was meant to be.

One unfortunate mindset of Abia rulers had been to neglect Aba in preference to Umuahia, which had no industrial or economic capacity possessed by Aba.

I hope the successive governments of Abia will recognize that Aba is where they need to fix to pull the state up. Just like Anambra recognized that Onitsha was very important in pulling the state up than Awka. Imagine if Onitsha was abandoned as a sh*thole and Awka is made a London, the entire state would still be a sh*thole because its biggest city is terrible.

Aba must be planned in a way that all it's roads are tarred with gutters on both sides of the road.Trees and greenery must return to Aba the way Owerri has taken greenery with planting of trees seriously for a few years now. If we eliminate the flooded streets of Aba due to lack of gutter system, and make the entire city accessible and decent, the people will naturally reclaim their manufacturing ingenuity and enterprise.

To fix Aba might require two or more dedicated construction companies permanently stationed there to go from street to street repairing the roads and fixing gutters that are well interconnected to other gutter systems of adjoining streets. Tarring one street and leaving the town isn't a strategy to fix Aba because of the many decades of neglect the city has suffered.
Aba is one of the most important cities in the SE.

it is heartbreaking that the city belonged to Abia state where it was mercilessly abandoned and ruined by the disastrous regime of Orjis and Kalus.

I wish Aba had a better fate. It would have truly been close to Port harcourt in economic importance by now.

With a bit of smart engineering all the flood water should be channeled to a rivers or lakes which are often nearby cities. Most planned cities interconnect drainage pipes to take storm water off the roads and channel it away. These underground pipes are the first thing laid before roadwork.

For Anambra cities they need to incorporate drainage in masterplan and not wait to become another Lagos.
Exactly!

If we keep developing without any thoughts about how to channel flood away into nearby streams and Rivers, then we are doomed to be a flooded state every rainy season.

Like you rightly pointed out, a little engineering can solve the issue very well. My preference for big concrete drainage channels for Anambra, instead of the type used by Americans reinforced only with grass is that we are unlikely to plant and maintain the grass on the flood channel, therefore the whole flood channel will lead to a gully erosion site very quickly unless it is made of concrete.

I ONCE LOVED THE EAST BUT WITH THE WAY THEY ARE GOING WITH GUTTERS EVERY WHERE, I FIT NO GO EAST AGAIN.

THERE IS NOTHING, I HATE MORE THAN GUTTERS.

I DID NOT GROW UP WITH SUCH AROUND AND WEN EVER I VISIT A PLACE WITH OPEN GUTTER, I DONT FEEL LIKE EATING ANYTHING THERE.
I also hate open gutters, but its better than no gutter at all. Else we will be washed off by flooding and erosion. Even the open gutters are sometimes too small to contain the volume of water required. i bet you using storm pipes in the east, they will use some tiny pipes which will be blocked by sand because we love to do substandard stuff.

Eastern Nigeria is within a belt of some of the heaviest rainfall zones in the world. Therefore, it MUST rain in SE Nigeria whether we prepare for the resultant flood water or not. Thus, we must take the issue of providing gutters in every road and every street very very seriously.

Safely channeling runoff water and demarcating flood channels in the SE is a priority that must be taken more seriously than our people realize, else land and lives will be lost to nature and rainfall perpetually.

In America, areas and cities with very high rainfall which are prone to flooding have deep canals between major roads passing through the city. That way, flood water is contained and safely channeled into the nearby river or stream. In Nigeria we don't make provision for flood water to flow into the river because everyone is building like crazy, until the floods wash away homes and kills people.

All these agriculture based products should be encouraged. Also building factories to package these things in modern packaging packets for sale in Super Markets in Nigeria and abroad should be taken seriously to make the product of high quality even for export. That is how to make a business good paying and sustainable.

They should build a park around that stream.
Nwanne,

You and I think exactly alike! Wow! Almost what i wanted to say!

I like that they are developing the plots very well before selling to the public. The gutters must be carefully done and gentle flow of water into the Iva river. If not, when there is heavy rain, that area will be highly prone to erosion and landslide.

Planting a lot of trees on along the roads in that estate and along the bank of Iva River will help secure the environment from erosion.

I was about to say the same thing. Investnow has made serious sacrifice to go round and get pictures for us just to get this thread moving.If you have ever tried to take pictures to post in NL, you will know the effort involved in this task. Not to mention that folks will be looking at you like an idiot.
Last week, i flew to Enugu and could only take one picture on the rainy day. I couldn't even take pictures of the new airport. I went to Ozubulu on the old road and couldn't take pictures because it was odd for everyone in the vehicle.

Please praise these guys like investnow, Tundebricklayer, Spyder etc that have made huge sacrifice to take pictures for all of us. If their camera isn't good enough, buy him one and mail it to him from America to his postal address in Nigeria. That way, you will be supporting the growth of decent Anambra pictures on the web even if you don't live in Anambra.
Politics › Re: Atiku: ‘I Will Rule Nigeria For Only Four Years’ by Cjrane2: 4:42pm On Aug 12, 2018
Kwankwaso is more acceptable in the north, although increasingly a lot of southerners are beginning to seriously support him

Atiku is more acceptable in the south than the north.

Let PDP figure out how to utilize the best qualities of these candidates to defeat Buhari. A candidate who can sweep southern votes with landslide victories and can defeat Buhari in key northern states.

Kwankwaso was governor of a great northwest state- Kano. But i fear he might not get the massive support he would need from the south to win unless he is able to get key southern politicians now to begin campaigning for him. Also he seems to have some incorruptible character and being able to be his own man, than be pushed around.


Atiku also has more experience at the Federal level about how to unite Nigerians again, and will likely get the needed block votes from the south, but might not do very well in the north in defeating Buhari in at least northeast states. So he also needs key northern politicians now to begin campaigning for him in the north.

Bottom-line, we need a Nigerian President who is sensitive about the diversity of Nigeria and has courage to unite Nigerians. We are tired of a President of Nigeria who thinks he is only a Daura President.

I have studied the inner streets of Enugu using google maps and I noticed that most of the city "Inner" roads are tarred. How was the various Enugu governments able to do this when other Igbo state governors are struggling to do the same?
Enugu was also the capital of Eastern Region. It was well planned by our founding fathers and developed orderly.

Many cities in the SE today were hamlets or towns without any type of planning in 1960s. Worse still, the subsequent governments after independence paid ZERO attention to city planning and general decency of our cities. The result is what we have today.

We need to create NEW planned towns just outside the current cities because the cost of re-shaping the current cities into pallned cities will be too high in the number of demolitions that must occur. I commend Rochas Okorocha for creating NEW Owerri in the concorde hotel area and planned it as a modern city. Perhaps when Greenwood Estate Awka takes off, it will have the same ambiance if attention is paid to layouts planning with dual carriage roads as major access roads into the layout. Onitsha can do same and create modern new city along Nkwelle Ezunaka and towards Oba and Nteje axis. Aba can create a new city outside alaoji along Aba-PH expressway and another along Ikot-Ekene highway.

I am a little disappointed that Independence Layout Phase 2 Enugu was left to estate developers and they are currently making a mess of the brand new area. They are building beautiful homes quite alright, but they have distorted the roads masterplan by putting their gates haphazardly in the middle of main access roads and forcing traffic to divert. Currently, it is a mammoth task to get to the houses behind the Goshen estates through Enugu-PH expressway entrance. You have to access the area through tiny streets from Abakaliki road after the airport flyover exactly at by the NNPC depot junction in Emene! I sadly refused buying land there just because of difficult access to the place.
Again in Enugu, all the flyovers along Enugu-PH expressway have all sorts of illegal structures and even homes built inside the road ramp! Enugu state government must do what Anambra did at upper Iweka flyover by demolishing any illegal structures built within the ramp of a flyover. The area should be planted with trees and beautifies and not used as markets or prostitute brothels. These anomalies should be corrected now than wait for the future when they become too difficult and painful to fix.

SE governors MUST emulate Willie Obiano of Anambra in demolishing ANY structure that distorts the master plan of the city. People typically embark on such behavior of building illegal structures because they know that government will condone the structures and does not have enough commitment to decent city planning to demolish illegal structures.

Dude, don't volunteer what you cannot deliver.

The cargo port you guys are talking about is meant to be regional. FG will never built 5 cargo ports one for each state, particularly in a region with short cross-span. Buhari wants regional victory in SE and you ask Okorocha to approach him fraternally to approve cargo port in Imo. Guess what Buhari will say? How does other governors and leaders in SE feel? In return for approval what will they yield?

Can you deliver what Buhari wants?
You people are shameless. You must blackmail them to get Federal presence? What about those that have been voting APC in Imo state? Don't they deserve some encouragement to atleast say it was because of them that APC did something positive in Imo state? You can keep your cargo runway. Exactly as IMO Airport was built without FG, we shall build that Cargo airport ourselves. This is the same wicked attitude Buhari and APC used to wipe out, instead of grow their support base in the SE after 2015. You can keep all your projects away from the SE, it still has not made you better off or has it?

Buhari owes some of his supporters in the SE including Rochas something to save their face as APC people. Rochas was promised Igbo Presidency and he too daft to see it's all a scam. Besides, Buhari can ONLY get support in the SE by being a true statesman not by holding people to ransom. People will come back to him if he is fair and not because he compels them through threat of blackmail not to approve their airport or road projects. It gives them even more incentive to vote for the opposition who will give them a sense of belonging in Nigeria.

I don't expect you to understand what i'm saying because your hearts are filled with hate against Ndigbo. So again, i tell you truly, Buhari can keep his approval. In time, the airport will still be built without his help.

Let's leave politics out of this to prevent the usual deadlock associated with politicizing Igbo issues. Okorocha will soon leave and even if he does not get it rolling, we now have the infrastructure while we seek for runway extension and the political pronouncement.
Oga,

Read my name again. I have told you guys i don't care about petty local politics, my concern is the overall development of Igboland and for us to recognize Nigeria for what it is and not what we wish it to be.

Yes, It is very good to build the cargo warehouses, you can even build a brand new terminal building larger than Abuja airport terminal. It is ok.
However, without the FG officially gazetting of the airport to approve cargo operations and extension of the runway to encourage international airlines to operate into the airport safely, the warehouses or massive terminal building are useless if the cargo planes don't come. Thats all i'm saying. Do what will bring the planes first, then worry about terminal buildings and cargo buildings

At least, Rochas is lucky to belong to the ruling party as the FG. He has good relationship with Buhari. So he could ask his friend a little favor to officially gazette the airport now that APC controls the center and IMO state. It will be their powerful legacy in Igboland which will be undeniable.

wat about the actual cargo airport?
Building the warehouses are cool. But they are more like putting the cart before the horse. Two keys things must happen for cargo planes to land in Owerri, which are my two main concerns.

My two main concerns are:

1. When Okorocha wil utilize all he has done for Buhari and loyalty to his administration to get SMICA gazetted as an international airport.
2. When runway extension to 3KM will happen to allow large bodied cargo planes to land comfortably in the airport.


Unless these two critical pieces are done very quickly, building of 30 cargo storage rooms is a senseless investment because the plane will be unable to come without these key approval and runway extension done.

Whether Buhari builds railway to Libya, it is their business. They will finally realize that it is better to fix Nigeria, than look for solace with other nomadic tribes in the desert. I don't believe having children we cannot take care of is a way to survive in Nigeria. Nigeria will ultimately dismember either through violence or peacefully unless it restructures. It is likely to restructure as soon as oil runs out. So either way, it does not make sense to breed like rats because northerners have done so.
I support restructuring of Nigeria if that will bring peace. I don't know if it will. Time will tell.

But restructuring should be based on regions and not states. Certain states might also want to move from one assigned region to another depending on where majority of their population feel their kith and kin reside.

Nobody can do anything to Ndigbo. How are they sabatoguing us but we're living better than them. Will you send 22 kids to a university or will we stop going to school to compete too
GBAM!

The people we are asked to copy have run down a wealthy nation like Nigeria. Stolen all the wealth to northern Nigeria, yet remained the poorest region in the world. They cannot stand the Igbos in 30 days of serious warfare if they didn't get help and arms supplied by Britain etc.

We must not copy the folly of Fulanis in things like breeding children they cannot take care of. It is silly and against Igbo tradition and civilization. The same Fulanis have tried everything in their power to marginalize and destroy Igbos for decades, yet they could not. Even when Igbos decided not to retaliate and push forward with building a "One Nigeria" for all. That is where our own silliness is bigger than stupidity of other Nigerians. We have fed ourselves bogus lies about Nigeria and have failed to wake up from those fake illusions we conjured about Nigeria inspite of glaring evidence to the contrary.


The question every Igboman should ask himself today is "Who benefits more from my sweat and business?" Is it my homeland in Igboland or the same Fulani and some Yoruba collaborators that have left no stone unturned to annihilate and impoverish me and my relatives. If something happened in Nigeria today and i am forced to suddenly leave this place, do i have enough wealth elsewhere not to end up a poor man for the rest of my life? If after a careful assessment, you realize that you are working for your enemies to benefit from your sweat by simply issuing a "QUIT NOTICE", then you must take steps to redress it ASAP!

As other Nigerians do, Igbos should learn to patronize their own. Buy with pride products of factories based in Igboland, use banks that have Igbos in their highest positions or better owned by Igbos, invest in businesses that will profit you and help our people overcome the dangerous dependence on Fulani herdsmen for food and animal protein.


The time to think strategically and pool resources together to benefit yourself, your family, your state, your homeland and your people has come.

Igbos be alert and strategic in your thinking and actions today. Tomorrow might be too late for us to reverse all these mistakes we have been making thinking of Nigeria as perpetually "One Country". There are several reasons to see that it is indeed false hope that we have fed ourselves for decades.

Let us wake up and have a deep re-think.

India' Population = 1.3 billion

If India and USA were in an armed confrontation, who would win?

Technology and training are the winners of modern warfare and not population as in the B.C period. Therefore, instead of pursuing huge populations, Igbos should pursue technology.

Now, today, if the true population of Nigeria were counted, Igbos are DEFINITELY MORE than Hausa/Fulani. The Hausa/Fulani have just lied and manipulated the Nigerian statistics simply to steal more resources than everybody else. Look at anything that gives you an idea about population such as number of cell phones, bank accounts etc, you will see where the real population centers of Nigeria are.
