I always felt it is unnecessary. Awka to Enugu is less than an hour albeit the bad roads. So if efforts are made to fix the roads,flights will be landing in Enugu for Anambra North and central. Then Anambra South will be using Owerri airport.

Say you land in this Anambra airport, the terrible state of Anambra State roads will ensure you spend hours moving from Onitsha to Ekwulọbịa

Please for your own good teach your brain to be happy when you see positive infrastructural developments in a place and also teach your brain to be happy that someone is progressing and that people are successful.

remove negative thoughts and opinions from your mentality...

Think about the economic wealth; Nigeria could have earned ;by constructing a railway line ;from Onitsha commercial city; to Lagos another commercial city .;Rather they are building a railway line from Kanu to Maradi -Niger republic.
Hatred;ethnic bigots ;The reason why Nigeria will remain; the poverty capital of the world;
We borrow money for consumption;other nations borrow money to invest; in her people; giving small business loans to-Tailor's,mechanics,local furniture makers,farmers,;creative innovators;scholarships for students,doctors,nurses,pharmacist,engineering, etc;building avenues for the future ;and a better taxpayers; for repayment of loans.
Think Economy not a Caliphate.

what you're writing is for the two major ethnic nations ( Igbo and Yoruba ) in the south to key into and bring into reality..

it is wrong to think that someone of a different ethnicity wants what's good for another person from another ethnicity...

it will be better if the SE first builds a railway connecting all the SE states together, the same for the SW to build railway connecting all the SW states together before thinking about building from one ethnic nation to another ethnic nation.

Eriokanmi:
Wow! Why not complete your ignorant post by also saying Jesus never existed ? Oya complete it. This is worst than living in bondage

Je:sus never ever existed..

Christistruth00:
They were the Sons of Isreal (Jacob) and called the Isrealites



Exodus 14
New International Version


14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.

Isra:el didn't exist in that era.. is:rael was created in 1948.

The b:ible and other religious books are not history books..

Eriokanmi:
They were implemented worshippers. They had slaves. Joseph was sold by his brothers as slaves to Egypt. Later Christianity entered egypt. Islamic Religion later entered Egypt. Sheik Ottoman Turks overpowered them in a jihad war asnd forced them into Islam.

Was Jesus born in Europe? I can see where you belong.

The bi:ble and other religious books are not history books and should never be used as a reference when citing history because they are story books. Joseph never existed.. ottoman is not as old as ancient egyptians..

J:esus and m:oh are europ:ean creations... The same way Indians worship Buddha.

Eriokanmi:
I'm telling you. Those generations really suffered....raw human labour. Without them, there wouldn't have been the future, which us now. The whole world built on the Egyptian architecture for generations, which we're all applying today. They were so powerful in magic, science and idolatry that, they never believed in God, the creator. They even believed when one dies, the person continues to live in the afterlife. They Bury them with all manners of gifts, including slaves who would be helping them in afterlife, especially if that person is a notable person like their Kings.

They believe in God... Just not the Eur:opean gods jes:us and mo:h that you worship..

They didn't have slaves.

The way you spend time to watch TV series, football and other TV shows in 2022 is the same way they also spend time to practice and master their crafts and skillsets everyday in their era..

If kids are registered in football and other sports academies at age 9 and below in 2022.. that means in their era kids were also learning blacksmith, cutting metals , block and stone building,
sculpting and other skills at a very young age and by the time they become adults there will be at least 1000 adults with this skills and craftsmanship..

Unlike the theory you and millions of people are focused on in 2022 they in their era started doing practicals from a young age.

2kurupt:
They had millions of slaves at their disposal to do their bidding. Let's not forget they were also the world power of their time and they had no Geneva convention to contend with

I reckon this is about the same period the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians

Jokerman:
The Israelis worked a lot in Egypt, and also learned a lot

fineboynl:
The Israel where they workers and builder's.

All this act where the 400 years if slavery in Egypt. Imagine 400 years. Alot must have been done. That why it was hard for Egyptian to allow them leave. Like who will build and do the works for them.

christistruth01:
Most likely Carried there on the backs of the Isrealites

May be it was dumped after Egypt ran out of Slave Labour because of Moses and the Exodus after God Almighty delivered his Children from Slavery and bondage

Israel only started existing in 1948... In that era there was no place called Israel.
It wasn't built by slaves.

Reference:
Good one.
We should think green energy particularly renewables.
With a coastline of more than a thousand kilometres we have enough offshore wind resources to power this country.

The coastline is in southern Nigeria so northern Nigerian politicians and power mongers will kick against such ideas because it will empower the south..

It's the same reason Nigeria doesn't have massive coal power plants and gas power plants because coal and gas are majorly in eastern Nigeria.

Unless they own companies, same reason they support d:angote refinery in the south.

ensamy:
We have Agbokim waterfall in Cross River state year in year out wasting, why can't federal government with all this Chinese loans site a hydo electric power station there
The power of the waterfall is stronger than any such in Niger state. Clueless.

Rivers supply the land with nutrients to maintain the vegetation of the land.. if many dams are built in southern Nigeria then many parts of southern Nigeria will start experiencing desertification..

Hammyaladin:
most of them don't even know that Niger water is from neighboring African countries. And if those countries decides to dam them.... We are bleeped.

Northern Nigeria will be f**ked not southern Nigeria..

Your response is as a result of a classic case of the black man's disease: that of quick forgetting.
Forgetting that:
- he is the weakest race on earth
- every other race wishes to enslave him
- NO OTHER race is in a state of economic and spiritual darkness like ours
- that the white man and Arab do not intend that light of knowledge and progress comes to the land of the African without acute struggle
- that in our relationship with the pale skins, we always have the lower end of the stick, unless wisdom and cunning becomes imbibed by us.

If black people are the weakest race on earth, diseases will have killed every black person on earth, all the wars the eu:ropeans waged against Africans will have killed off all Africans but the eu:ropeans realized they needed traitors among Africans to penetrate Africa.
If every other race wishes to enslave black people they will be killed off..
there are many countries that are in a state of economic and spiritual darkness.
Africans already have their native languages so they already have knowledge and progress from their own languages.
Africans have never gotten any thing from eu:ropeans not even the lower end of the stick... the only thing Africans have gotten from eu:ropeans is how to self-destruct...
Africans are wise and cunning so it doesn't need to be imbibed by Africans..

adoyi8:
One important way to reduce unemployment is by attracting foreign investors. No matter how many foreign workers they employ they must directly or indirectly create jobs for the locals and pay taxes on top. So lets look at the big picture and not let tribal instincts control us.

Foreign investors who ensure majority of their employees are foreigners are not reducing unemployment they're increasing unemployment..

Foreign investors take the profits back to their country.. profits are always higher than taxes..

taxes are crumbs compared to profits.. which means taxes are lower than profits.

adoyi8:
No company will like to overpay salaries when they can get same value at a lower amount. I bet you there must be some special values these companies are getting from their foreign workforce.

Not when the foreigners share the same ethnicity as the C.E.O of the company..

Overpaying is not a problem as long as the company continues to make profits.

It's not about getting the special value it's about empowering their countrymen.

adoyi8:
please before you sow the seed of xenophobia remember that nigeria also have a high number of people in diaspora and we hold these people in high esteem because they send us dollars.

ogagusps3:
It's always a thing to blame foreigners working in your country but they always provide more jobs than they take generally. We have way too many poor people to be worried about the very few jobs these foreigners take. Driving foreigners away from jobs has never worked out well for any African country. Its only always popular cus the indigenes think they will take over their jobs. Kinda hope pursuing igbo from some areas in the north only made those areas poorer.

A foreigner is paid $3000 ( ₦1,233,600 ) per month. while a more qualified Nigerian is paid ₦90, 000 per month in Nigeria...

that means the monthly salary of 1 foreigner can employ an additional 12 Nigerians who are paid ₦90, 000 per month...

you say we have to many poor people yet to be worried about " few jobs these foreigners take"... from the above explanation, the foreigners are the ones making sure Nigeria has many poor people because by bringing in these foreigners they are helping the foreign countries by reducing the foreign countries unemployment situation while increasing Nigeria's unemployment situation which leads to poverty.

Aganju849:
That dude is right.

Go read up and stop arguing blindly, this is the information age

that dude is wrong..

this is the mis-information age..

OneCandleAway:
So you don't know humans are stubborn, that slavery was declared abolished doesn't mean people didn't try to find ways to bring in slaves into the country. Free labour isn't what they were willing to let go of easily.

These are facts, documented facts

so now your evidence is "So you don't know humans are stubborn" ...

for your information, owners of sl:aves were compensated by the U:S.A after sla:very was abolished so your "So you don't know humans are stubborn" comment is nonsense...

OneCandleAway:
You see this woman below, she was a yoruba slave brought in when she was 2 years with her mother and sister in 1860 in Alabama. She has yoruba tribal marks and could still speak the native language since she was brought in with her mother.

She was renamed Matilda McCrear.

She died in 1940 at the age of 83.

you can't even see how wrong you are with your own information

slavery was abolished in 1834 by the bri:tish.
slavery was abolished in 1865 by the U.S:A.

you claim that the woman was brought to the U:S in 1860 with her mother.. but according to history, slavery was abolished in 1865, so that means if people follow this false news you're spreading, then it means there are meant to be Yoruba speaking communities in the U:S.A and other African languages communities in the U:S.A... since the woman won't be the only African to have arrived in 1860 ...


I've told another person already and I'll say the same to you - "you lack the intellectual capacity and intelligence to use your brain to decode things... you rely on goo:gle and eur:opean version of African history.....

cj4humanity:
If Google and other stories are not saying the facts, write your own story, but it's gonna take a lot of research and money and time, maybe your lifetime, anyway Goodluck with whatever you decide

such fake "facts" are written by eu:ropeans and Afric:an coll:aborators who have several educational degrees in history, philosophy e.t.c.. which validates their fake "research" and fake "facts"... so even if I write anything it would be termed "conspi:racy theo:rist" and will never ever be validated...

even with thousands of virology, pharmacy e.t.c. PHD holders in Africa.... eur:opeans will never ever validate and accept a vaccine or cure created by Africans...

even when travelling abroad to study or look for job as Nigerians who speaks english... Nigerians and other countries who have e:nglish as an official language still have to write and pass several e:nglish exams, for them to validate that you understand en:glish..

Aksnoopy:
He is speaking the truth, just shut up if you don't know the story.
I grew up in Ajara badagry so I am veryuch familiar with all he said and it's the pure truth.

he is speaking lies..

I don't care if you grew up in bada:gry, even you yourself called it "a story".... which means everything you heard was hear-say and someone's story....

If slavery happened in Nigeria, the amalgamation of Nigeria would have happened in the 1600s or 1700s not in 1914.
If slavery happened in Nigeria, especially in southern Nigeria, all the indigenous languages would have been extinct..

OneCandleAway:
Women were sold as slaves. This is a fact and evidence are plenty.

Even some of the Dahomey women warriors were taken as slaves also.

you're wrong and I'm sure If you have any evidence to use prove your point it will be evidence gotten from eu:ropeans or their African collaborators..

Women are more than men... it will be impossible to capture one Afric:an woman in that era because all or at least 96% of them had military training...

BKayy:
You could have just searched the name (seriki of Badagry) on Google instead of disgracing your ancestors like this

I don't need google, you're the one disgracing your ancestors because you rely on google to tell you history...

the Yoruba nation and the other ethnic nations that were surrounding it were policed and controlled by women... the seriki of badagry doesn't stand a chance against them...

like musicwriter already said on this thread "that place wasn't a slave market"...

google and "the history" you read was written by e:uropeans and their African collaborators to support the eu:opean version of African history...

If eu:ropeans brought gu:ns and gu:npowder to Africa then every African language will not have a word for gun...

but like I said, It is you that is disgracing your ancestors because you lack the intellectual capacity and intelligence to use your brain to decode things... you rely on "goo:gle"...

BKayy:
They should make the statue of Seriki of Badagry exclusive.
A very famous slave trader that sold 20 young ladies for one umbrella, 40 men for a gun and 10 boys for gunpowder.

He sold 10 ladies for a snuff box amongst other record breaking sales.

Seriki of Badagry, his descendant is into politics. I won't mention his name.

Stop spreading false information...

During that era, 96% of the women were warriors and soldiers it was impossible to capture women or a single woman because they moved in groups.

TheGoodJoe:
Messi will find it difficult today gumming the ball and skinning players. Today's game has seen most top teams adopt to the modern game. So it is not easy as it was when Messi was in his prime.

Same with Denilson.

TheGoodJoe:

A well coordinated press will nullify any top player. It is far harder today to just skip past players. That is why people feel today skills is dying. The truth is that defending is far better now.

benardo silva, emmanuel dennis, chukwueze , ejuke, reece james, saint maxima, ben arfa, mbappe, vinicious junior, salah , mane, nicolas pepe, foden, jadon sancho e.t.c. all skip past players easily and are not even on Messi or denilson's level...

fabyom:
Oshimen needs to watch players like Benzema, Lewandowski and Kane to learn shooting techniques. For me, Aribo is our most technical player. Shooting, ball control, touches, body movements etc. However, I think he needs to improve on his passing!

Osimhen does not need to watch Benzema, Lewandowski and Kane to learn shooting techniques..

Osimhen is playing for Napoli, while 2 of the players you mentioned are playing for 2 of the best teams in the world with very good midfielders and chance creators, If Kane was playing for Man City he would score more goals than he does at Tottenham...

same goes for Osimhen, If Osimhen was playing for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Man City he would score more goals than he does at Napoli.... but it also depends on how the coach plays him..

Its the same reason Oshoala scores more for Barcelona than Super Falcons even though she misses opportunities when playing for Nigeria..

Lukaku is also playing for a world class team but his not scoring regularly... does that mean he should also watch Benzema, Lewandowski and Kane to learn shooting techniques

Osimhen has scored more goals than Kane this season so its Kane that should learn from Osimhen.....

TheGoodJoe:

So to you 2003 is not early 2000 era? Robinho was already a brilliant talent in Brazil by 2002 and was part of the brilliant talents of Brazil in the early 2000.

he wasn't part of the 2002 world cup squad..

TheGoodJoe:


I don't need YouTube to know about Denilson. I recently pointed out that I believe the Brazilian team of the early 2000 were the best and most gifted. I listed some of my favorite players in that team which include

Kaka, Adriano, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Robinho, Ze Roberto and Denilson.

Denilson played for Real Betis with Finidi George and I got to watch him well.

However, Finidi George openly criticised the tactical acumen of Denilson and pointed how poor his timing was.

What I am saying that on today's game, Denilson will need a lot of work despite his flair and would get nullified with tactical defending.

robinho wasn't in the team of early 2000 at least not until 2003...

In today's game Denilson will never get nullified, Denilson's and most players with his type of playing pattern will destroy today's team same way Messi destroyed teams in his prime...

Players like Denilson drag opposition players out of position and create space for the striker or any player in the box or outside the box to take tap-ins or shoot... In the past midfielders covered for defenders that were dragged out of position unlike todays teams... there's so much space in defensive side of football in 2021 than in the 1990s and early 2000s.

TheGoodJoe:

I believe the birds today fly better than the past but the defending is too good for you to notice it. How many wingers of the past are better than Hazard in taking on players. Watch the swarm of players around Hazard then. Today, it is even fiercer.

I disagree with players not being good at dribbling. There are loads today. Watch Joao Felix, watch Veratti. Watch Salah. These guys are crazy. However, it is wrong to dribble in tight spaces. You are losing the ball. Counter attacks are insane today. You just don't take thiat risk. It is suicidal.

Bring Ronaldinho today and he can not try it. Have you seen tricks from Vinicius? They are brilliant but you must limit it and abide by tactics to succeed.

go to yo:utube..

In search bar type the words denilson skills..

Odidigboigbo:
maybe building of refinery is like building market that you will just wake up and build, if is that easy why is it that FG that is benefiting from it didn't build any since more 50 years? For your information, more 30 companies has been licensed to build but till today, non of them has managed to build one. Ask Dangote that has been build one how much it has cost him so far. Please understand government, it's not a business sector.

Dangote is building a 600,000 bpd refinery at a cost of at least $7billion and it takes at most 4 years to complete such a refinery as long as funds are available.

In my comment, I said 500bpd or 50,000bpd refinery which would vary in cost from a 600,000bpd refinery.

In fact the comment below from Google proves it's cheaper:

"The capital outlay for any 100,000-barrel per day (bpd) refinery is about $1.5 billion or more, while a 24,000 bpd modular refinery is roughly $250 million".

This means that a 500bpd refinery will cost at least $6million to build while a 50,000bpd refinery will cost at least $600million to build..

Refineries are not expensive to build.

Cost of building a bungalow is cheaper than building a one story building or an estate.
