And being from Niger Delta makes you an expert on this subject?? Talk of being clueless! The Cross River deep sea port project will be majority private owned. So, if it actually sees the light of day, it will be prohibitively expensive to use compared to 100% government owned ports in Apapa and maybe this one in Ondo. It will therefore die a natural death! Educate yourself please! Oh, I AM FROM NIGER DELTA too but that's neither here nor there!!! martineverest: |
chuksmad:So, by your warped logic, if an Ijaw man becomes president tomorrow, he should ignore the seaport Buhari is building in Ondo and build a new one in his own area, right? It is thinking like yours that has kept this country where it is. You are correct, GEJ worked on things he thought were more expedient for Nigeria and not just his village. He expended a lot of resources building almajiri schools in the North. He permitted Adesina to heavily invest in irrigation in the North. He built the Kaduna-Abuja railway. He modernised nigeria's airports. To mention a few. Goods imported into Ondo will still be ferried by road to Aba, Onitsha, PH. It makes no sense, but then again, you are not engaged in this discourse to make sense. |
[quote author= post=79927337]So this is the first thing that came to your mind immediately you saw this topic? .......but why are some people life filled with so much TRIBALISM this way. Is this the way you live your life everyday? DEEP TRIBALISM! You deserve a 2nd chance to live o. What a life! These politicans have been so successful in using tribalism and religion war to mess up with y'all brain since 1960![/quote]No, you are the one being tribalistic and supporting evil due to irrational hatred. Why Ondo? That's a sensible, patriotic question to ask. PH, Warri and Calabar have ports already which are deliberately neglected and dilapidated. It will be cheaper to develop these ones than build a new one in Ondo. Onitsha and Aba based businesses have the highest need for a seaport and PH, Warri or Calabar are much closer to them. The question, why Ondo? is therefore legitimate but YOUR tribalism and hatred wont let you see the logic in it. |

bestdudes:An individual CANNOT expand a car plant without state support. A company like Innoson should not be boorrowing funds from commercial banks at market rates! Every Chineese car plant is part state owned and today they are dominating the world. Nigeria should work with Innoson! Give his business easy access to low cost longterm credit and other incentives even if it means taking a nominal stake in the business. A country that masters car production techonology has conquered high tech because to make a car requires electrical, mechanical, structural, glazing, etc,. Innoson is capable for employing hundreds of thousands of Nigerians if well supported. |
Las las, Ala Igbo is still far more developed than the North and large portions of SW.. Which northern state capital comes close to Owerri, Enugu and Awka in developemt terms? We can hold our own in education, commerce, finance, etc. So, no, Ndi Igbo doesn't want your presidency or political appointment if it means prostrating before people we consider less able/capable than us! All we want is for merit to prevail everywhere - from school admission to employment. Finally, and most importantly, we want our destiny to be decided in Enugu by an Okechukwu and not in far away Abuja by an Abubakar with whom we share zero affinity or apiration. That's all! |
okonja:Easy to say when you are not on the plane, experiencing the purbulence yourself. All your rational reasoning capability will desert you ![]() |
CoolAmbience:Please read Cambrige's Paul Anber's Modernisation and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos published in 1967. He's not Igbo or Nigerian so presents, i hope you'd agree, an unbiased assessment of Nigeria's status quo pre war. This extract summarises my point: “With unparalleled rapidity, the Ibos advanced fastest in the shortest period of time of all Nigeria’s ethnic groups. Like the Jews to which they have frequently been likened, they progressed despite being a minority in the country, filling the ranks of the nation’s educated, prosperous upper classes… It was not long before the educational and economic progress of the Ibos led to their becoming the major sources of administrators, technicians, and civil servants for the country, occupying senior positions out of proportion to their numbers.” Have a great day, brother. |
CoolAmbience:With due respect sir, you are a very poor student of history. At independence, Ndi Igbo were at the helm of EVERY facet of the Nigerian society. From education (we actually produced VCs and SU presidents of most Nigerian universities then) to commerce. From military to civil service. Engineering to medicine. Ndi Igbo were at the top. We occupied high echelons of civil service even in the core north. That's where the resentent started. This comment of yours "Our country is awakening herself to the dynamism of nationhood, which rests more on the inclusiveness of negotiations, partnerships, common good and sustenance than on ethnicity and other biases that bear no real significance in our national project." is so detached from reality and manifestly false that I'm not going to dignify it by responding. |
CoolAmbience:By 1967 Igbos were above the rest of Nigeria in every thing. Then the war happened and Ndi Igbo were criminally and systematically reduced to nothing and dispossessed of their livelihoods. But then, 48 short years later, Ndi Igbo are back again at the top. It says alot about our indomitable spirit. |
Danwakae:E don pain am ![]() |
femolii:Ogogoro seller, yes i'm going to sit at home. E dey pain you abi? |
For me and my household, 30th May is Ofe Nsala day and I will sit at MY OWN home to enjoy it. If you don't like it, go and hang yourself. |
Demainman1:You really think those 'igbo villages' you see in Nollywood films are really from Igbo land? Have you ever been to the east before? Ndi my papa say we be Igbo! SMFH!! |
sobodetitilayo:That's in Nigeria. Most caucasian medical doctors in the UK are atheists or at best agnostics |
What zone has Nigeria presidency really helped? The North is still the poverty and illiteracy capital of Nigeria, despite years of producing Nigeria's leaders. What did the average Abeokuta person or Bayelsans gain from OBJ or GEJ's presidency respectively? Similarly, Igbo presidency will only benefit the Igbo elite who are already in bed with their northern puppet masters. For the majority of Ndi Igbo, what we ask for is a reformed, fair and just Nigeria or outright independence. I want my future to be shaped in ENUGU by an Okechukwu, who shares my dreams and aspirations rather than in far away ABUJA by a barely educated, fundamentalist Abubakar whose interests and mine are not aligned. |
Again Kalu is fighting for his stomach using the name of South East. Very typical of Nigerian hearltless thieves masquerading as politicians. Do not be deceived! The vast majority of Ndi Igbo doesn't care who becomes what in the zoo. Most of us want one of these two things: 1. A restructured Nigeria where our fate will be decided in Enugu (by an Okechukwu) and not in Abuja (by a Muhammad) or 2. A proud independent Country called Biafra Nothing more, nothing less! THANK YOU |
I wish her luck! I hope she knows that Poland is probably the most racist European country! She better belt in for a long turbulent ride. Again, I wish her best of luck. I was engaged to a Polish lady for 1year. I had a quick change of mind after visiting my wouldbe in-laws in a town called Tarnow. Their overt racism is incredile!! Their women like black xoxo sha ![]() Having said that, that it didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont work for her though. I'm happily married today to a black beauty from my Imo State ![]() |
You are a clear example of dumb Nigerians. His post makes perfect sense. dhestiney: |
Meanwhile Innoson is being hounded by the same Government... |
Nansense! According to her, they were already on their way to a nice place, which will invaribaly end in ikwokirikwo. Why would the guy need to drug her? A beg, go and learn how to lie. |
Bikonu oo, owuzi onye raa nwa governor oburuzie governor?? |
Quite frankly, other Nigerians should act like Igbo people and particularly IPOB. Why should you sheepishly agree to pray for a peaceful election when we all know that it is a mere transition from one set of uncaring, insensitive thieves to another set? Nigerians have been voting since 1999 but still their lives have got much worse while a handful of politicians live in immoral opulence. Infact all Nigerians should boycott this election to show they are unhappy with the status quo and the viable alternative on the table. |
PassingShot:Could have... Would have... Those are conjectures and innuendos or alternative reality, at best. Let's face the things we know to be true. That he entered Nigeria without travel documents is neither here nor there. If 'war wongering' as you put it is against the laws of the land, then you should demand that the government put him through a trial and convict him. That's what will make Nigeria a civilised country and not the zoo Kanu calls it. Benjamin Franklin said the first responsibility of every citizen is to constantly question authority. Robert Novak also said always love your country – but never trust your government! Wish you Godspeed as you reflect on these. |
PassingShot:What evidence are you looking for? These are known facts: 1) He was INSIDE his residence when the army surrounded it 2) The army forcefully gained entrance 3) Nnamdi Kanu hasn't been seen since that date. Given the above sequenece of incontrovertible events, the only reasonable conclusion is that only the army can account for his whereabout. Instead of sowing seeds of doubt, you should be alarmed that your governement extra judicially infringed on the rights of your fellow citizen, whether you agree with that citizen's believes or not. |
[quote author=RealNaijaQuin post=70090415]Lol I'm an Igbo but that doesn't make me Biafran This Biafra of a thing is one of the weirdest things I ever seen... Let's work had to make Nigeria better I'm proud of the nation I was born into ![]() "I'm an Igbo..." No, you are not. I bu otele okuko. |
So this kpengele guy came to your office, locked you up and all your staff said and did nothing?? Oga lawyer, continue lying. We are listening... |
"A working class lady..." Sounds very weird and ancient to me! |
justtoodark:And you are enjoying your "Delta" today aren't you? |
"Guys think logically, and women think emotionally." is probably the most chauvinistic and outdated thing anyone could say. Are you from the stone age?? |
Na today? Second Niger bridge is as jinxed as Lagos - Ibadan expressway. All governments from Abacha have used these two projects to hoodwink the masses. Ndi ara! |
Favbolu:Be careful what you wish for |
