Umuhia I dey laugh I can't even compare umuhia to Nnewi not to talk of the city of Awka. As a land economist, Umuhia is too rural and more like a council area, I insist. Awka is too beautiful, organized, planned with good architectural designs, bubbling social and night life and awesome hospitality far above umuhia. As I said earlier umuhia could best be compared to Ekwulobia.

do u want me to start mentioning names of some ezes that have messed kingship? Have u asked urself why ngwas are hated especially those abala guys in obioma ngwa? Have u asked urself why abians sold their conscience to t.a orji?

kasiem:
Have u asked urself why chima nwafor's corpse was taken aloft to his father's compound? Have u asked urself why seventy five percents of the properties in abia state are owned by anambrarians?

Ogbonaikenna:
[size=14pt]This would not have have been happening if the yorubas have said yes to oduduwa republic in 1967[/size]

kasiem:
what can u say of the way ngwa people uses charms? We see elephantitis in your, always selling their lands to make up money for bicycle and sapele water, standing on all the major streets looking for who to dupe, lazying about in search of where building are being erected to forcefully collect money from them, moving from one pool office to another, their kings using okadas to attend official duties, doing one menial job or the other such as bakassi boys or tax collectors. Infact, the let pour out the venom that i have for some abians here on nairaland

Muslcar:
Not very wise statement. Somebody criticize a state gov for failing and outline problems. U go on an envy trip. The fact Anambra is the head of Igboland in everything and dat naturally brings envy. First President and even Ojukwu hails from Anambra. Enugu u talk of was the former capital of Anambra. Don't let envy get the better of you.

thank god aba is the cleanest city in the wide world. Thanks to lack of roads that made my parents to rent their house to other people aba.

chino11:
Onitsha is like New York compare to aba-ngwa. If you have visited Onitsha recently you will see the wave of transformation sweeping thru the commercial hub of Nigeria. Onitsha is cleaner, more organized, planned 100x than aba. Aba has no roads, no government, no infrastructure, everywhere flooded like hell, name it.

nakedall:
1. Tribalism killed it. Ibos/Calabar are still not ready to see people of not their type in their backyard. to turn around things, nigerians must be encourage to relocate to that place, you need people for show/market business. only your people cannot do it alone. Yorubas never develop Lagos alone, thanks to their open hearth and acceptability.

chino11:
The greatest criminals comes from your state abia. They even kidnap for a mere 5k. Remember at a time banks has to close shops for months in aba. The greatest kidnap kingpins that brought bad name to the Igboland and Nigeria at large (osiskangwu and co). I think you should be more concerned with the disaster in aba and how to tackle it, it has really brought ugly image to the SE.

chino11:
Am wondering advancement and Umuahia   ,  My brother lets look at this with elders view. I was in that town few months back so I know what am talking about. Do you want us to mention roads and post pictures. The estates in Awka with good infrastructure is un-countable. From Abuja estate (where you have Orient Petroleum HQtrs) to Udoka estate to Liberation estate to Amansea estates to Iyi-agu estates (where you have Silverbird TV & Radio communications).

kasiem:
Bia ezeagu, if this a joke better stop. How can u in your wildest dream compare any part of abia state to anambra? This like comparing ghana to usa.

chino11:
^^^^ See the 2006 census result before start frustrating yourself.

Abia state is the least in population in the southeast.

chino11:
You arguement is baseless and devoid of any facts. Why in the world will you compare Awka to a small Umuahia.  However nothing could have taken me to umuahia few months back except for a traditional marriage of a friend. On approaching Umuahia one hardly know its a state capital. I can tell you that umuahia is more like an improved local government council. You mentioned population, apart from state civil servants in Umuahia nothing more is happening in the town. Awka is more balance, organized, planned and bigger 3x the size of the umuahia. Awka has the much needed population from civil servant to the students population that add to bolstering social life to it. If have been to Awka recently you won't have the moral justification to post trash on this thread.

EzeUche:
Aba is the opposite of Umuahia, but that is because Umuahia is the state capital.

ChinenyeN:
Ezeagu, na wa. Also, what do you mean proper Igbo?

odumchi:

@ Ezeagu

I try my best to speak unadultered, Englishfree Igbo. If people try abd think they'll find out there is a word for everything practical and precolonial in Igbo. If you'd like to prove me wrong I want ANYONE TO POST A LIST OF NON-MODERN AND NON ENGLISH THINGS that they think aren't expressed in Igbo and I'll be happy to answer.

ChinenyeN:
Oh okay. I know what you mean. I've noticed it to (the conjunctions and the Engligbo). But me, I've managed to eliminate all (if not that, then most) of the English conjunctions and replace them with the proper equivalents. On the non-modern words, how exactly do you express computer, phone, and internet?

Horus:
No Nigeria is not overpopulated, far from it. We have to look at the population density of Nigeria, ( people per square mile ). The population density of Europe is higher than in Nigeria, (more people per square mile than Nigeria), so in fact Europe is overpopulated and Europeans are not complaining about it. We have to create more jobs for the youngs and build more skyscrapers in Nigerian cities.

OvieE:
My thought exactly.  Nigeria is a waste of time. One will drive from Lagos to Benin city all you see is bushes, from Lagos to Ibadan all is bushes, from sapele to Warri all you see is bushes, from Warri to Asaba all you see is bushes, from Asaba to Benin City all you see is bushes. development and lack of thinking is killing nigeria. You know how many cities can develop between lagos and Benin city if you give that land to USA or other develop countries are in need of land etc.

namfav:
it is just empty promises, it happens alot with the ibo youths, ask yourself, what can the ibo youths do? can they fight? are they trained to fight? are they willing to go nowhere fast and die for nothing? who do they want to fight, do they have names, do the people they want to fight have uniforms, how will they approach maiduguri? empty buckets make the most noise

Obiagu1:
They should start selling lands to Igbos first.  Tinapa cannot succeed with few people in Calabar.

EzeUche:
I do not mind Ethiopia producing more people. This means more Ethiopian women.

ChinenyeN:
EzeUche, wetin? Is it that serious? Just relax.
