MayorofLagos: We have to respect Ibo tradition here...cant just burn them.

Typically when an ibo dies on foreign soil it takes two to three months in morgue before his loved ones collect enough money to transport the body home. Then his wife must go through the ritual of shaving head and when the body arrives and is washed she must drink the waste water.

If no one claims the bodies we will declare them abandoned and invite Obiano to make arrangements to receive them at Onitsha.

emiye: Nice development, i guess there would still be sizable enough quantity for local consumption within the state though.

I will also prefer a pineapple fruit juice company(ies) be set up in the state, to prevent a situation where the pineapple exported from enugu is later imported as pineapple juice in to Enugu.

barcanista: because I am not a bigot. You igbo man I owe you no explanation.

Remember what boro said...?
Ask ojukwu

UnknownT: Inasmuch that Arthur1000 is right, but the refuses are being dumped discriminately by the citizens of the state. The years we lived in Aba, there used to be a burrowpit along Aba PH exp way, but must people will leave the burrowpit and be dumping refuses on the Aba PH exp way. Look at how they have turned Osisioma park axis. Look at Alaoji, people count millions daily there but the environment is nothing to write home about. Any bad portion of the road in Aba is quickly turned to a refuse dumb. An Aba Nairaland resident will come here blaming Govt, afta he must have sent one of his children or househelps to go dispose dirts, does he care to know where the dirts are dumped? The blame wouldnt go solely to the state govt(maybe he shd be blamed for the poor state of infrastructure), the citizens deserve some too.

barcanista: that is If nigeria is to split.... But its not on agenda of d ijÀws
Anything biafra is a BIG no...that's it

glory2glory: Punch newspaper is ignorant. The people are under surveillance with their movements restricted in their homes, they are communicated to daily. They only move them to quarantine or isolation centres if they develop symptoms. This was how it was done in Lagos. Presently, 3 persons have symptoms and have been moved to the isolation centres.

Collynzo16: Reading the parts in bold, I just wonder whether South East leaders are averse to development.
It is very easy to castigate Igbos who invest away from home without hearing their own side of the story.
Everything should be done to encourage those who choose to invest in the South East rather than frustrating them.

abagoro: Aba is not rusty but Igbos need to stop being naïve and demand Jonathan's action on federal roads. If the federal government maintained the Enugu/PH expressway, Aba/Ikot-Ekpene highway and Aba/PH road, the State Government would have been blamed completely. But the case today is that as a result of neglect of the highways transversing Aba by FG, heavy duty vehicles were forced to use residential quality roads as alternative routes thereby inflicting heavy damage on the roads constructed for light vehicles.

numericalguy: Olu Ibukun Koye is an terible human being with no conscience.

But that Dr. Iyke Enemoa was a criminal doctor. He was the kind of doctor that secretly treats criminals like armed robbers and drug dealers with bullet wounds. Because, if you look at the scenario, you would realized that he was quite experienced in such secreet treatments and probably has a history and network of such illegal treatments. If not why did his name pop up when Koye was looking for a shady doctor to treat him. The link from Koye to Lillian to Dr. Enemoa in Port Harcourt is quite suspicious.
Also, he really was a bad person like Patrick Sawyer, because even after he went to meet a fellow doctor for treatment at Green Heart Hospital, he lied to the second doctor. That man was evil.

The Government should also arrest the said LIllian because she is also an accomplice in the crime.

Tazmode: No venue in Nigeria to hold the congress?

cjrane: Sweet panoramic shot!
Wish the roads were marked in that section too, it's even finer than obodo oyibo!

Great photographic work Oga m!
Thank you for remaining focused and pointing the way for the thread, while the pre-pubescent boys compete on who will out do the other in stupidity.

Emmalot121: So 65.92% to you is a great job, what happend to the remaining peeps?They failed .Considering the population and exam malpractice,though South West is not excluded and I'm in no way happy or supporting the failures.The Nigerian educational system is one that craves for deligence over intelligence.To show you how wrong you really are about using your ill prepared fact deficient and unrealistic assertion,can you compare the cut off of southwestern universities including the prestigious unilorin to the below par schools in those regions mentioned,not to talk of the rate of investment in Education in southwest.
A lot of factors can hinder students,as some students might have been failed due to inspector's remarks on a school,examiner and a host of others.Not to talk of the fact that C6 and C5 are also used in their grading of credit.And also given the fact that no matter how much you have passed,an ordinary pass disqualifies you(not even minding if you need the paper or even minding if it is your 20th time of writing the paper,that you might have had GCE and this is a mere formality or if you eventually passed Jamb and most importantly Putme )
The fact remains that exam malpractice is on an alarming rate in South East and SS and also the fact that many southwesterners prefer schooling abroad.When this factor and many others are considered,I think it is saver to cling to the end result which I think South West(The most industrialized region in Subsaharan Africa ) is at its peak.

OrlandoOwoh: If you don't know how WAEC scripts are shared in all the states, ask to be told. Scripts are taken outside the geo-political zones of where the candidates sat for the exam. I marked scripts from outside the South West, where I was.
On leniency, I don't cut corners, I abide by the rules which have come to be abused by some examiners.

OrlandoOwoh: I was among the examiners who marked last WAEC. I know what I'm saying. I still remember how a team leader reacted when I was so strict in my marking.

OrlandoOwoh: Are these not the same people that are withdrawn from various higher institutions on the ground of power academic performance?

babyosisi: No
We are told the patient is only infective at the time they are very sick not at the incubating period
