more avenue to loot the country dry. when will the arab uprising reach naija?

When Nigerians turn Arab.

Martass:
What do these beautiful African women see in this ugly, bad teeth, short and monkey-like chinese men. Is it desperation or what? shiaa!

I wonder if there's a Chinese forum quoting this post and getting outraged at the racism. Funny.

ZnO:
These are the Boko Haramites of southern Nigeria. The other week it was 20 killed in good ol' Ibadan.

*Boko Haram of Lagos, Boko Eko.

Hardly any of the websites you people are drawing up to support your claims are from any notable or reliable sources. I can open a couple of websites and begin a history of how the Igbo are native to Burundi and that will become evidence right?

[quote author=High_Chief link=topic=695260.msg8558101#msg8558101 date=1308614964]If this was happening in any other part of the country, the soldier boys would have ravaged the whole place. So far GEJ has failed with security issues[/quote]That was if this was happening in a place where the puppeteer corporations that run Nigeria made a profit and the actions of Boko Haram were affecting this their profit.

[quote author=EzeUche! link=topic=695042.msg8558057#msg8558057 date=1308613926]I have never heard of such nonsense happen in the South-East. In Port Harcourt. . . Yes, but never the South-East.

Igbo man will not tolerate such indignities from a German, Lebanese, Arab or fellow African. It is too much to bare for us to allow something like this.[/quote]How many expatriates are there in the southeast compared to the delta?

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=695102.msg8557093#msg8557093 date=1308600666]why are these chinese men aiming for beautiful black women, or am i seeing mainly photo ops.

the naija marriage syndrome has spread everywhere else? [/quote]Why would they aim for ugly black women?

KnowAll:
I am expecting the Igbo’s to come out all guns blazing on this one, but we cannot ignore hard historical facts and figures as per who the top 3 royal fathers are in Nigeria. 

I guess you flopped at that, they didn't have a powerful lord that decided life and death because they were intelligent enough to decide that they didn't need one. Anyway, you're idea has been rejected it seems.

Nayah:
Tpia actually i know bamiléké people very well and actually, they wouldn't say they have some similarities with igbos, trust me.

What are they known for?

Stop that thing. Tribalism is the natural reaction to Nigeria.

What's that got to do with this topic?

They use pit toilets in Japan.

African jacuzzi part. 2.

Who asked to be accepted? As what?

I think I saw this type of thing near Port Harcourt a few years ago, there really isn't any excuse.

Nigeria itself is a curse, not Islam. Senegal is an Islamic country, so is Tunisia.

Lagos is looking like Aba.

tom28:
Who ever said they are setting up such military bases peacefully?
Such bases are meant to monitor africans and dominate the african trade.Its like someone pointing a gun at your head.

If you think the US isn't already monitoring Africans, then I have bad news for you.

Idoma has nothing to do with Igbo.

Who's people?

tom28:
You really dont need to be like Saddam before you have a fall out with the Americans.Sometimes disagreements over policies could lead to beef which might result in war or political assasination.Remember President Lumumba?
He was assasinated by the Western powers and branded a communist because he was against some of their unpopular policies.Now if for example Goodluck Jonathan is against the Americans establishing  an AFRICOM military base in West africa this could lead to the americans having some sort of resentment against Goodluck and this could result to anything.

. . . .then again, this isn't 1960 (thank God) and the fact that they are setting up base peacefully wouldn't call for any problems to rise up. Obvious.

bashr4:
well names like attah are popular in southeast, kogi , benue and cross rivers. even idibia is popular among igbos ,idoma and even igala , if you think am lying use facebook profile search to research it, we are not trying to posses you am only trying to point out your social and cultural ties with the southerners.

Ah-ah! He's saying he has not ties with southerners. If you aren't southerner what are you then? He's a northerner now.

Uche2005:
Igbo run propaganda during and after the civil war. this is how the anioma propaganda started.

Mmm, that's how Anioma soldiers will go and kill other peoples leaders and they it's Igbo people, when war come now all of a sudden it's Anioma. Anioma still gets slaughtered in the Asaba massacre so they if they weren't Igbo before, they have spilt human sacrifice to attain that identity in the 60's massacre. Blood Bond! Look at these Nwa Nshi of an Anioma.

tom28:
If America occupy Nigeria and the east una Igbo made products no go ever see the light of the day. Na american made products go come flood the nigerian market.We go dey use american made phones,(no china phones again) american made shoes,american made furnitures,american made electronics,american automobiles and even sef our Queens English go come turn to american english slangs like yo muh nigga, wassurp my ho! etc.

Were you not here when the Americans were asking Igbo to go die for them enter their army. They are Igbo furens. Which American product imported by who, distributed by who, and bought by who? When I'm telling you this thing you're not listening. Igbo guys in the cities will kuwaria those electronics and with the new stable environment given to the land by the Americans the Igbo will copy the products, first of all who is going to be buying all those products when there will be cheaper made products by indigenous copiers? And how will Americans influence Alaigbo that much when there will be only one or two bases there? Think please.

Nze Nwabueze Akabogu (JP)

The Enugu-Onitsha dual carriage high way was constructed about thirty years ago to facilitate the socio-economic activities of the people of the old Anambra State, now Enugu and Anambra States, as well as other Nigerians who daily ply the ever busy high way. The construction of the high way which was embarked upon by the former President Shehu Shagari’s administration became a subject of misguided opposition and political vendetta by some highly placed Nigerians who vehemently opposed the project on the ground that the proximity from Enugu to Onitsha was too short a distance (104 km) to warrant the construction of the dual carriage way hence in their myopic thinking the project was a misplaced priority on the part of the Federal Government.

Nevertheless, work on the project commenced in earnest and two renowned foreign construction firms were subsequently awarded the contract with the completion period of about thirty six months. An Israeli firm – the Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) - was awarded the contract from the Enugu end to Oji River end while an Italian firm – The Loggiani Construction Company was awarded the contract job from the Oji River end up to the Onitsha Niger bridge.

However, it is a sad commentary that this ever busy highway, which was constructed primarily to enhance the socio-economic wellbeing of the people, has now become a monumental tragedy and a nightmare to the people due to its criminal neglect and insensitivity by successive Federal governments. It is no gainsaying the fact that the Enugu-Onitsha highway is one of the busiest highways in the country in view of the heavy vehicular traffic that daily plies the route. The highway has long become a death trap to motorists hence many fatal auto-accidents with the attendant loss of precious lives and properties worth millions of naira occur daily on the highway due to the present deplorable condition of the road.

However, in its genuine desire to put a stop to the daily carnage on the highway, the Federal Government, in apparent response to the cry and numerous representations made by the people about two years ago or thereabout, awarded the contract for the reconstruction of the Expressway to two supposedly “foreign firms”.

The contract for the project from the Onitsha Niger bridge head to Amansea end was awarded to CCC while the contract from Amansea end to the 9th mile corner Ngwo was also awarded to NigerCat Company. The contract from the 9th mile corner Ngwo to Enugu was equally awarded to CCC.

It is a matter of great regret, therefore, that after more than two years of the contract, no appreciable result was achieved on the road reconstruction as work on the project was carried out on a snail speed ever since resulting in yet many avoidable fatal auto-accidents which often claimed many innocent lives and loss of valuable properties worth millions of naira. Commuters who ply the road are daily subjected to untold hardship and unimaginable trauma and the life span of the vehicles that daily ply the highway has drastically been reduced to almost zero point due to the deplorable condition of the highway. As at the time of writing this piece, work on the entire stretch of the highway from Enugu to Onitsha had stopped and the two construction firms had since abandoned their sites and removed their equipment from the highway. The rains are already with us and the fate of many commuters who daily ply the highway is presently hanging on the balance, thus the consequences of this criminal neglect and insensitivity on the part of the relevant authorities could  better be described than imagined.

It is with the highest sense of responsibility and without any fear of contradiction that this writer make bold to affirm that the blame for this inhuman and unpardonable treatment meted out to the people by this ugly situation lay squarely on the doorsteps of the members of the recently dissolved National Assembly from both Enugu and Anambra States. It is the sacred responsibility of the elected members of the National Assembly to protect the interest and general wellbeing of their people at all times in accordance with the oath of office they swore to uphold on assumption of their sacred mandate.

It is the contention of this writer, therefore, that if the members of the outgone National Assembly had worked in collaboration with both the Enugu and Anambra State governments and made strong and persistent representations to the Federal government on the deplorable condition of the highway since the highway in question is the exclusive responsibility of the Federal government,  the present situation could have since been remedied. The people, no doubt, would have been saved the unimaginable agony and untold hardship they were subjected to all these years. One of the central tenents of democracy is for the elected representatives of the people to work for the common good of the greatest number of the people.

The present pathetic condition of the Enugu-Onitsha Highway under which commuters are daily subjected to unbearable hardship, definitely calls for urgent and decisive action by the two neighbouring State governments and therefore this writer hereby urges both State governments of Enugu and Anambra to handle the current situation with the highest sense of responsibility and act with utmost dispatch to save the people from further agonizing and traumatic experience on the death trap called the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway. They should immediately call the attention of the Federal Authorities with a view to ordering the run-away contractors back to site to complete the reconstruction work on the highway as speedily as possible in the overall interest of the suffering masses who daily ply the ever busy highway. A common adage says that a stitch in time saves nine.
