[quote author=musiwa.,. link=topic=778422.msg9324678#msg9324678 date=1318436126]ezeugu, i dont think you are nigerian.

Asaba or azagba was a refugee camp during the war,   Can you see nigeria army distributing food. Do you see them wear biafra logo. No. get that into your head.

Instead of your continue to ask me question, get your people to safety.  we are trying to get our save into safety, my young man, we know our history and where we come from.[/quote]Again, what do you know about Delta state or its history? Who do you even know in Delta state for you to even know if some of them fought for Biafra or not? Were men not lined up by the Nigerian military in Asaba and shot? What do you even know about "Azagba" and Ahaba? Stick to your Yoruba empire and correspond with those that want to be ruled and overseen by your people, because Anioma is not the one, and has never been the one. I can speak with an Asaba or Agbor man in his native language, you cannot. I know the customs and taboo systems of all the Igbo communities to Agbor, you do not. Your online recruitment mission for Odua republic will stop at Benin, anywhere in Anioma is frustration for you and a waste of your time, because kam gwa kwa gi ugbua Anioma communities can't even join Edo state let alone Odua Empire.

Bawss1:
Hmmm. So that article was false. Why would anyone do something like that?

Failure of a thread filled with even more failures.

[quote author=onye_ngbu* link=topic=779812.msg9323400#msg9323400 date=1318426335]Hmm.

When will some people grow up. Seaport ko![/quote]Can you explain to us how a seaport is childish? You do know there has been a seaport at Onitsha since the 1800s?

EDIT: I didn't notice "seaport".

asha 80:
if i may ask what is wrong in builiding river ports in selected spots along the river niger and benue(dregded of course)?do we know how much pressure it will remove from our roads?

It seems like nobody knows what to comment so they complain about nothing.

Challas:
This another SCAM by d FG, The Asaba airport has been commissioned with nothing happening there,Enugu International Airport with no international flight uptill date and now Onitsha Port, I DON'T KNOW WHY OUR GOVT. FINDS JOY IN COMMISSIONING UNCOMPLETED PROJECTS, PR I GUESS?

Are you complaining about uncompleted projects, or you talking about projects with no traffic?

feelamong:
COME O, EZEAGU OR UDI DEM DEY CALL U, 

WETIN BE ALL THIS RUBBISH FOTO? GEJ PAY U FOR THIS POOR PR JOB?

AM OFF TO TINCAN PLS,  BY 2014 WHEN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN START AGAIN, ABEG NO 4GET TO WAKE ME UP, 

Is it by force to comment?

Owere and Port Harcourt are the places to be right now. Enugu needs people.

Anymore buildings?

ChinenyeN:
Also, I don't believe Igbo had any name until we became "Igbo".

You'll have to prove that.

A lot of Japanese can look African or European, it doesn't mean they migrated over the Pacific.

We have at least one on nairaland.

Eko Ile:
Obviously, SE just got 419ed all over again,

Eko Ile:
Btw, is there any reason to put out a fake story about this port? Don't we all know the sad and unending sorry history of this port?

It's been decades of  unconscionable lies, re-awarded contracts, looting and deceptions.

Eko Ile:
I like your sense of optimism, but it sounds like you don't know your own country. That project was abandoned months ago,


lol @ main newspaper? Your main newspaper publish lies and propaganda everyday, they are owned by the same crooked and corrupt politicians.

Outlets like Elomba are more credible simply because these are unfiltered voice of the people and facts on the ground.

otokx:
When you say a project was abandoned then you imply that they even started which may not be the case.

Two harbour cranes to Nigeria

Liebherr has delivered two LHM 180 mobile harbour cranes to the Onitsha River Port, Nigeria. The machines have a maximum lifting capacity of 64 tonnes and a maximum outreach of 35 metres and will be used to handle a wide variety of break bulk cargoes including iron billets for the steel mills, building and construction materials, spare parts, wine and spirits, tyres, cements, cars and the occasional container, an area where growth is expected. The cranes can also be adapted for bulk handling if needed.

The ports on the Niger River in Nigeria are undergoing a program of dredging and refurbishment in line with Nigerian government policy. The Onitsha River Port has been refurbished and up-graded over the last year adding warehousing, port accommodation, storage space and the two Liebherr cranes.

The project was coordinated and carried out by Inter-Bau Construction Ltd. Owner and chairman of the group Sir Nath Okechukwu said: “Building something like a river port for the benefit of the local community gave me great pleasure. Working with international companies such as Liebherr, assisted us in the equipment selection part of the task and we hope to work with them again on future projects.”

Emmanuel Aguda, resident engineer from the National Inland Waterways Authority said: “The cranes give us great flexibility allowing project cargo up to 64 tonnes, a variety of break bulk cargoes and even use of a motor grab for bulks later. They can also transit to all areas of the port.”

Wikipedia:

There seems to be some demolition going on around the port, and there's a large sand mound next to it.

nairaland, I bring to you the "abandoned" Onitsha River Port:

There's seems to trouble with understanding.

Not all the dialects are intelligible, but most of them are and with experience someone can understand the other a little.

There is no completed port, if you read, you will see that the deadline is October, and obviously all deadlines are not met. All we have is nothing from people with limited information.

This is (one of) the cranes at the port as it was before the renovation:

This (one of) the cranes now:

[center][img]http://www.marinelink.com/images/show.aspx?aid=6247&width=310&height=500&/dsc_0505.jpg[/img][/center]

Doesn't seem abandoned to me, especially with the mounds of sand and construction crew infront of the actual port. So either 1 of 2 things has happened:

1. The river port hasn't been abandoned, is possible late, and the "newspaper" is full of shit, or
2. Someone had bought two replacement cranes, hired a construction crew, and suddenly abandoned the project.

I'm glad Onicha port is recognised as a threat.

Anyway, generally, the more experienced somebody is in one dialect, the more they can understand dialects that are different to the one they've learnt. As I said before, the dialects are not strictly defined in the words they use and a lot of places use a lot of different words. The place where people can get lost is when the words are rearranged in another dialect or extra words are added.

[quote author=musiwa.,. link=topic=778422.msg9319765#msg9319765 date=1318372304]where did you get that nonsense from. edo state and Delta state fought against biafra, they resisted the East or biafra, when biafra invaded edo and delta state. What nonsense are you talking about.

they are going with us. dont worry, as long as they allow the united nation to conduct the vote.[/quote]Are they going with you before or after Anioma state is created? Also, what are you going to do about the other groups in Delta that are enjoying ruling a state such as Delta only to be lumped with the people who were ruling over them before state creation?

You have a huge task on your hands, especially in convincing Anioma indigenes to be subjects of your Yoruba-Bini empire.

By the way, do you even understand any language, culture, customs of Delta, or even Edo State?

jason123:
What does Biafra war have to do with Edo and Delta state, if you don't mind me asking? Why are you lumping issues together? Or did Biafra not make Rep of Benin the shortest lived country in the world? I can go on and on . . . Look, its better not to "Join" us with this war issue, thanks!

Uh, people from Delta State fought for Biafra. And Benin Republic being "the shortest lived country" would be enough to associate Edo and Delta with Biafra. In all, the poster you're replying referred to the "Niger Delta" which in fact has been cheated considering their fight against Biafra.

At least, a full life.

Who are those with no recognised kinship with Isu?

I don't understand.

I thought all Igbo people were Isu connected.

Andre Uweh:
Isinweke, Ihitte-Uboma LGA, Etiti, Imo state. Our culture must not die.

It seems Okonko is more watered down in Imo than is Abia. see Oho Ebi with a woman by its side! In some places women aren't even allowed to see the masks.

From Ogwashi to Arochukwu and then from Enugu to Owerri is where people find it easier to understand each other, the people on the outskirts have a harder time understanding everyone else. But the Igbo dialects themselves aren't strictly defined, people do say a lot of different things and some dialects are similar despite being miles apart.

winpecheux:
You people are busy saying something that is not true, You are making a big mistake by thinking anioma state is an igbo state, Never.
Ask anioma people around you, Look let me let one fact clear to you, It'll be better for us to join hausa than to join igbo, We can never be igbo, River niger is the boundary,
You people should wake up from your slumber and face reality, Have you ever seen any ika or ukwani man claiming to be igbo?
We need urhobo people more than the igbos, Igbos should find their square-root, They should not look up to having our area at all.

Delta North is marginalised because you are seen as Igbo people by other Nigerians. Why else is Anioma state being proposed.

farleft, are you planning provisions for users to be able submit their own dictionary entries wich can be approved by moderators? It would broaden the dictionary. Also, do you have plans on expanding the website into other fields/updating it, like we have the web 2.0 looking http://dictionary.reference.com/ with 'words of the day', 'quotes', mini-encyclopaedias, or even links to other languages, and, importantly, links to social networking? If I were you, I would make a facebook page and twitter account as soon as possible if you haven't already.

Can somebody give the correction? What was she supposed to say?

I know African women shake their ass, that's why I didn't like Nigerian dancing for a long time. I actually prefered Caribbean dancing, like the moves you'd see the men doing, that's until I started seeing more Nigerian/African dances and saw where the diaspora got it from. Like the Zaoule dancing.

(If you pay attention the masker does a "moon walk"


The nyash shaking is appreciated.

MsDarkSkin:
how about an I.O.U? 

You'll have to bring your Obeah man, I'll bring my Dibia to settle the matter. According to that video they speak the same language.

MsDarkSkin:
ok gotdamit!  


i owe you an apology sir.

i stand corrected about the UNIA and Biafran flag's relationship.
i saw this in a video @ around 5:44

That will be a white sheep, two pigs feet and the fingernails of an unborn black parrot, thank you very much.

[quote author=k.o.n.y link=topic=191038.msg9233555#msg9233555 date=1317168913]Not even that. Look at the bust of king tuts grandmother. The most afrocentric black person couldnt even think of this lol. Egyptians were black

[img]http://billygambelaafroasiaticanthropology.files./2009/04/tiye1.jpg[/img][/quote]A lot of the facial features are similar to those in the African Diaspora.

saiyaman:
I think Egyptians were a mix of people some Black in appearance others more Arab due to geography

Arabs didn't exist at their time (well while they were at the top). The people you should say are Persians and Mesopotamians, like the Sumerians and Babylonians (now Iraq). This is probably why they look like the African diaspora.

koruji:
For one, we would not have brain like ezeagu's that is completely brainwashed to hate the self

But the real answer is no African Military Plane.
