PoliticsRe: Awakening The Sleeping Giants. (A Message To The Progressive Youths) by figoperch: 1:24am On Sep 04, 2017
verygudbadguy:
Recently, I saw a movie "Winnie" and I was moved by the passion and resilience that characters like Winnie and Mandela displayed. I must say we are a big disgrace to our generation.

Our generation watch the government maltreat us. We allow them take us for fools. Greatness is never achieved by cowards. It is either now or never. They call us leaders of tomorrow. Well, tomorrow is here already. They say we do not have the capacity to lead, let us show them that we live for something much more important than designer wears, cars or luxury.


The time is now brothers and sisters. I may not totally subscribe to the idea of secession(Biafra), I think those brothers are no cowards. I would rather we channeled our energy towards making the government more accountable. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

I recommend that you ponder on this quote by the great Plato; "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors". Arise Nigerian Youth, Wake up from your slumber. Arise sleeping Giants.

As progressives, we should develop tactics, gather resources, ideas to equip and sensitize ourselves that our education would be a waste if we fold our arms and watch these politicians enslave and rob us of our future.

That said, hate speeches and secession preach would not help us to achieve these objectives. I would advise that we desist from name calling, cursing or using abusive words against our leaders. It will not portray us as Ready -To -Lead but I would rather we focused our collective frustrations and angers towards breaking these chains of slavery. The country is already rooted in nepotism, religious sentiments and tribalism. Let's try and bring on better ideas to actualize the progression that we desire for this country of ours.

Just look at the youth around your area. What do you see? People who celebrate poor performance. All they need is their daily dosage of booze and highness.


Let's start from our hood.

The JJ crew land and everybody hails. Honour! Honour!! What is honourable about them?

You were there at the polling booth during last elections in 2015 if memory serves me right. It was an avenue to wind down, flex and booze with lots of pepper soup going around.

The youth you are calling upon now sold their rights to the highest bidder that day. Some said they may not benefit beyond the plate of soup and the bottles of beer from the ruling class but 'make dem chop this one first'.


If you stand up in Onike/Fola Agoro today to motivate the youth as you have highlighted, how much followership do you think you will get? On the other hand, arrange some bottles of Hennessey, order some barbecue from Awele and see how fast the crowd will gather.

Look at your circle of friends, what is of priority to them? Is it not cars, luxury lifestyle and designer wears?


If you were to engage your senator or representative in a discussion, what direction will you focus on more?

Mandela and Winnie believed in the cause they stood for, suffered for it and bled for it. In the end they came out victorious.

How many Onike youth can stand and hold their ground to such a cause and not compromise in order to save their neck or feed their stomach.

Very few.

I hope to engage you more as time goes on. It's gonna be a jolly ride.

Na wao! It's really true a yoruba person cannot talk to another person without using insulting words. The vehemence that accompanies your words puts you at high risk of ulcer. He who alleges must prove. You can prove those are not the outskirts by giving us a birds eye view of the area you allege to be part of the main city.
Since you are on ground you can climb a story building and give us an elevated view of the area.
You don't need any birds eye view mumu. With the GPS coordinates, you will get satellite view with clear resolution.

Stop bringing your ignorance to the world.

What is the significance if birds eye view when you have access to satellite view in 3D self.

Mtchewwww.

Hahahahaha! I really enjoyed the argument between the guy exposing the shanties of Awka and the guy hyping Awka! grin grin But truth be told, that Governor needs to repair the roads in the interior parts of Awka! A lot of buildings needs to be demolished to expand the roads! Once good drainages are built, it will grately curb the erosion menace! The same thing applies to Onisha!!!
Sir, you got my point.

I'm not here to compare cities.

Awka as a whole is small enough for the development to go round. Those places these guys call old Awka are the real people of Awka.

If anybody says he's from Awka, he will not say I'm from Udoka Estate or I'm from Ngozika Estate or I'm from Abakaliki street. No! He will mention any of the 33 villages that make up Awka.

All I clamour for is a little infrastructural investment to better the lives of these people.

Good drainages, good roads and the people will be better off.

I appreciate your sincerity.

[quote author= post=55689218]It shows you know little about Awka, if you are honest to yourself you will know those areas you mentioned are old Awka, if you don't know ask people around you, the problem they are having is bad road, I'm 100% sure you can't see mud houses there unlike Abeokuta that's 85% mud houses and brown roof, have you been to Ngozika, Udoka, Awka GRA, Esther Obiakor, Abakiliki Street, Okpunor three arm zone Agu Awka etc huh These are new Awka, Anambra is not Ogun, Anambra is second urbanized state after Lagos this is fact which you know, 60% urbanized, Onitsha, Nkpor, Obosi, Nkwere, Nnewi, Ogidi, Ogbunike, Enugu ukwu, Abagana, Ekwulobia, Amauobia, Oko, Agulari etc, the government has many areas to cover, the state is one of fastest developing state in Nigeria, imagine the little allocation coming from federal government, FG abounded that express road it was Anambra state government under Obiano that reconstructed, expanded and erected the flyovers, which FG yet to pay, if you really know how Awka was looking because of that road, I don't think you will have guts to be writing rubbish, had it been FG performed their obligation we would have channeled the fund else where[/quote]Who are the people of Awka?

If you ask anybody to mention where they come from in Awka, they can never mention Ngozika Estate, Udoka Estate, GRA, Abakaliki street.

They will mention names like Umudioka, Umuelechi, Nkwelle, Ichide, Amenyi, Umuogbunu, Amikwo yet these places are not enjoying any government patronage.

Is anybody an indigene of Udoka Estate?

Stop using the phrase OLD AWKA.

Awka is Awka.

My friend govt cannot tar every road. Provision of infrastructure is a process but you should consider the quality of the housing all the pictures you are showing. Can you match it in your area. Those are undoubtedly the outskirts and govt will take care of them in good time.

You are really insane. I wonder the type of school you attended. Go back to school and ask your lecturers to teach you what is called the outskirt and core. All that you listed are old part of the city which some of them dates back to 1500. But today they are considered as outskirts because they are no longer in the core, that was why I posted the core areas consisting of highbrow areas even where I live etc. Take a look at this areas, na humanbeings like you dey live there and not going to hole up in one outskirt and keep yelling.

[s][/s]
Mention the highbrow areas. Abi them no get name.

What gullibility. You consider the largest markets in Awka as not being in the core?

What can you buy in Awka without getting to eke Awka?

How can you say the largest market in Awka is in the old part when the people on your so called high brow cannot buy their items without getting there.

I repeat. You are not from Awka.

You are a bastard.

[quote author= post=55679430]Pictures you are posting are not bad just bad road which is obtainable in all Nigeria cities, can you show me Awka skyline huh
This is Abeokuta skyline[/quote]Unfortunately I don't have time for that.

At the onset, my simple point is that Awka, anambra state capital is too small for development and government presence not to go round.

Show me anything new in Awka that isn't situated along the express so that passersby can see and start lauding the govt when people on the inside are wallowing in sorrow and bitterness.

Just 1% of the cost of your so much celebrated bridges is more than enough to repair the roads I have shown you so far.

In simple terms, let your people benefit from your government. Of what use is a bridge that you construct with billions and cannot carry trucks and trailers.

Peoples homes are inaccessible due to erosion and you are asking for skyline. Iranu, abasha.

I thought u were smarter than that.

As for me, soldier go, soldier come, barracks remain.

You guys are real suffer heads.

You are truly a bastard because you don't know the difference between an outskirt and core of a metropolis. It is like counting Epe and even Ajegunle as the core of Lagos. What you posted is an area at the outskirt with some of the roads untarred. Untarred roads are even in Abuja. Look at the metro areas.

[s][/s]
Is Eke Awka market on the outskirt?

Is Nkwo Amenyi on the outskirt?

Is Dike park on the outskirt?

Is St Faith on the outskirt?

Is Amikwo on the outskirts?

Is works road on the outskirt?

You are not from Awka. You are just a bloody settler in Awka.

Umuogbu is not any outskirt of Awka. It is one of the villages that are the foundation of Awka.

You are only proving your bastard status by saying Umuogbu is on the outskirt.

My points here are not for comparison if you have observed. My point is that within a week, I traverse the whole of Awka and the level of underdevelopment in these parts I'm showing you the pictures is too much.

When your government comes out to showcase anything, its usually along Enugu - Onitsha expressway. What have the people in these parts of Awka done to be so neglected.

Awka is too small for government largese not to reach these people.

They have to use scrapped tar to salvage their roads.

If you are close to this administration, fight for these people.
