For the first tenure, ok. i will give it to him but he seems to be sleeping after he won his re-election bid. aren't seeing anything here in PH yet abegiii

I think Amaechi has been very busy, but he is working on behalf of the people.

Ogoniland is receiving massive investment worth billions of Naira thanks to Amaechi.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=703136.msg8630356#msg8630356 date=1309533482]According to the write up,which I find kind of fishy, it seems like eventually the Ijaws domineering but later became dominated. If anything, it seems like a case of the worker becoming his boss's boss. The inlanders were prevented fromtrading directly with the Brits but later the inlanders became the controlers/administrators of the shores/port/rivers derived its benefits and decide on how to allocate it. I guess this is a great example of the saying, "who knows tommow?". The ijaws should stop crying over something that they once did to others. [/quote]Gbam!

Many Igbos tend to forget that these "middle men" controlled the trade and became very wealthy.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=702977.msg8630505#msg8630505 date=1309534552]^^no need to mention any other governor, if no other governor is mentioning you.

just post what you need to post without instigating trouble.[/quote]Did I mention another governor? Simply stating how he is quietly working on behalf of his people.

Now this is not for publicity unlike another governor.

Quietly working to make Enugu a better place.

Publicity! Publicity! Publicity!

This messiah worship of Fashola pisses me off. 

He simply has a good publicity team.

The way you all defend your messiah is hilarious!

Such zeal. . .

This will be an opportunity for APGA to make inroads into Abia.

Okorocha must do a good job in Imo state. The people of Abia are watching, but it would seem that anyone would be better than Orji.

Maybe even ACN.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=703354.msg8630032#msg8630032 date=1309531235]it just pains me that fashola seems to be the only governor who is actually working? [/quote]That is a lie. He just have a good publicity team.

You have quiet workers like Amaechi and Sullivan Chime.

While Okorocha is transforming Imo state.

The Ijaws are such troublesome people.

Chukwumerjie save us!

Randumb.

Hush! If you read the article, it also discusses Ethiopia.

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

Yes it is very serious. You give them an inch. They will take a yard.

[size=18pt] And the term "special Igbo" that [b]Knowall [/b]used to describe the Anioma and Ikwerrre is a slap in our faces. All Igbo groups are unique, but we have commonalities in language, culture and beliefs. Even villages in a particular area are diverse. That is the beauty of being Igbo. The diversity of our culture. Not something codified like our Hausa neighbors to the North and Yoruba neighbors to the West. 
[/size]

[size=18pt] Port Harcourt is integral to the Ndigbo, because we need an Igbo SEA PORT.
 [/size]

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

[size=18pt] Let me tell you all the truth of the matter. The Ikwerre would be simply another insignificant Igbo clan to the majority if not for one major reason. They and some other groups are blocking Igbo access to the sea. It is not about oil. It have never been about oil, because the Igbo hinterland has plenty of oil from Anambra to Abia.

Access to the sea is not negotiable.

[/size]

KnowAll:
[size=18pt]The Anioma or Ikwerre man would most likely speak in English or better still pigeon English to a stranger or unassuming august visitor than our friends from the East Central areas,  who many a times think everyone understands their language. Salient differences like this in the act of social cohesion and accommodation of others are the attributes these [/size] [size=18pt]two Igbo sub groups has which the East Centran Igbo lacks.[/size]

[size=18pt] Why concern yourself with Igbo affairs? You Yorubas have your own problems when it comes to identity issues so stop worrying about Igbo clans.

Have you ever been to the East or even lived in the East? If you haven't, then you should shut up because this does not concern you. Do you understand?[/size]

The Ikwerre have no say in the matter. This confused bunch are an Igbo speaking people and if it was not for oil, they would still be considered Igbo. This is for their own good.

If you have Igbo names, your culture is Igbo and you speak our language, then what does that make you? An Igbo. . .

I could understand if they were a distinct group like the Ibibio who have a separate language, naming and culture from the Igbo, but these Ikwerre are IGBO!

Of course Kobojunkie would want Walmart in Nigeria. Anything Americana is good to her.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=703265.msg8626862#msg8626862 date=1309493968]why did this thread turn tribal

we are meant to be encouraging each other [/quote]Eko Ile meant it to be tribal by highlighting Igbo names and states.

I wish we had a Yoruba nation and a Igbo nation.

Then we can settle this once in for all.

I think we would be in a perpetual cold war.

Abia State's Own!

We bring glory to Nigeria on the WORLD STAGE!

Well it is better to do wage war in sports than actual wars.

hercules07:
Excelling at sporting activities has nothing to do with your ethnicity, our brothers in the east dominate the national team because they have more people taking up the sport, we have had people from all over the country winning medals for the country, if we put in place proper sporting infrastructure, we will be dominating world sports.

You must not understand genetics. Some groups are are physically superior to others thanks to natural selection.

Muki you rejected my advances. It could have been you!   

seanet03:
We have always been the best, the over age syndrome is giving the people bordering cameroon on its western side undue advantage. That is why Nigeria can never win the world cup.

Jealousy shouldn't be your friend. We already know the people East of the River Niger excel in such activities.

Eko Ile knows what he is doing.

Seeing our national teams dominated by one ethnic group is too much for him.

Why the competition with the Igbo man?

We already know who is superior at sports. Just look at our national teams.

igbo boy back off. 

I claim this Yoruba babe in the name of Arochukwu.

Wealthy Nigerians believe traveling out of Nigeria is a sign of their wealth.

Unfortunately, some people in my family is of this opinion.
