the yeeboo that are in brothels in Ib is more than 10000, those selling CD,yughurt, chips,Otapiapia and gala etc many die... 80% of yeboo leave outside their region

Most of you guys are silly and you think your brothers and sisters are not in the east? I don't want to drill this thread I would have shown you pictures, your people are here selling Agbo, traditional medicine, Okada, Baba Ijebu, bricklayers, carpentry work, tailoring, texi drivers, even Jide Taiwo is among the estate agents we have in Anambra. The Okada man that took me to harbour industrial estate last 2 weeks was a Yoruba man, one of your brothers just open new office Surbet close to my office, your people will stay there from morning to night betting and making noise nobody is harassing them, so save us that crap.

Flyoruboy:
The guy is right FKO81. Let's take sentiments out of it. It's is an unofficial policy in that region to build multi-storey buldings due to the land constraints: #FACT. Hence the high cost of land. Infact, go to the Agric section of this board, while other regions like the SW are selling acres and hectares of land for as low as 20k for farming purposes, SE brethren are lamenting that they can't even get a single plot for 300k. That right there is a pointer. Look, it's an understandable policy which I commend too, but must you people illogically beat chest about everything? ?

Anambra state with clusters of highrises still have enough land for Agriculture and industries, you can go through the pages to understand or better still come down to east, I have been to all western states, I just relocated to east early this year, sentiment apart there is no state in Nigeria you can see highly concentrated of four/five storey more than Anambra state

Use your head now. So far habitable land is available just close by at a reasonable price, it doesn't make sense building an expensive storey building.

Till today, you can still get land in some parts of Ibadan at very economic price.

In places where land is limited and very expensive, building bungalows is a big waste.

Oyo state with a little part of Osun is geographically bigger than the entire 5 eastern states. You can check the map urself. Almost all states in the North are each geographically bigger than the entire 5 SE states.

Now i'm not talking about development oh, just land mass before u start unnecessary arguments.

Landuse in SE because of its small size can never be same in other parts of the country except wt those of similar population in relation to geographical landmass.

your write up is illogical, who told you that southeast don't have enough land mass for buildings? Have you been to any southeastern states before? All the states with big land mass is as well as big for nothing, Lagos is the smallest in land mass with the highest population in Nigeria and boosts of more structures than those big for nothing states, and been a coastal state still there are empty lands towards Ajah/Lakwe, Ikorodu etc.

VickJames:
It is only some people who don't know the psychology of igbos that will say its land constraint that's making igbos build tall buildings.

They are deceiving themselves, when you travel to those states with big landmass you can hardly see decent building, what you will see thick forests and shanties

With the wisdom of an elder admonishing his children in parables, Professor Chinua Achebe yesterday spoke to the Igbo nation, using proverbs to challenge them on the issue of unity and development.

Achebe arrived at the Owerri Cenotaph, venue of the lecture, on his wheel chair in company of Governor Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State at about 12.50p.m, and chose his characteristic narrative style to lecture the Igbo on “Igbo Intellectualism and Development,” pointing out how they can benefit immensely from creativity.

He noted essentially that his classic book, “Things Fall Apart,” as a story of his people, actually tasked them on their creative ingenuity, stating the need for Igbo to look inwards for solutions to a myriad of problems confronting them.

Achebe, who occupied a central position as guest lecturer for the 2009 Ahiajoku lecture, said he was glad to heed the call of the five governors of the Igbo speaking states, who invited him, and reasoned that the vision of Ahiajoku was synonymous with the celebration of “Things Fall Apart,” a novel which he wrote 50 years ago, but which typifies the joy and happiness of the entire Igbo nation.
The literary giant described “Things Fall Apart” as a celebration of the Igbo worldview and urged his kinsmen to consider such a celebration as priority.

He lectured that there is joy and happiness in the lives of the people, which they must celebrate, adding: “I want us to celebrate our lives through our stories, because our stories can’t celebrate themselves…we have a responsibility to make our stories known.”

Professor Achebe also recalled that when he started writing “Things Fall Apart” in the 1950s, it was a personal obsession which sought to put the story of his people correctly, especially as others decided to write the story wrongly.

He explained further that there was no man or a people without stories, hence people, particularly, the youths must learn how to document the stories of their ancestors.

Achebe, who chose to heed the African maxim, “proverbs are like oil with which elders eat words,” also cautioned Igbo on commitment to the work at hand, adding that there was no short cut to success other than hard work and creativity.

The literary icon cited the stories of creation from Igboland, Fulaniland and the Bible to illustrate the essence of creativity and concluded that throughout the world, there is a fascination for creation stories, which depict how human beings were made and were created.

He cited similarities between the Ahiajoku and the Ibiejoku in his hometown, Ogidi, noting that the latter has a creation story, which celebrates an ancient farmer, who is reputed for cultivating yam in a special way.

Yam, according to Achebe, is considered king of crops in Igboland, owing to the myths and stories surrounding it.

In his address, Governor Ikedi Ohakim, chief host of the Ahiajoku lecture, commended Achebe for his outstanding literary works, including “Things Fall Apart,” which tells the story of the Igbo nation to the outside world.

According to him, Achebe was a pacesetter for other literary icons, such as the late Cyprian Ekwensi, Elechi Amadi, Chukwuemeka Ike, Ben Okri, among many others, adding: “The world celebrates you because you gave it a profound story, but we celebrate you because you told our story in ‘Things Fall Apart.’”
[b][/b]
Also Professor Chike Edozien, chairman of the occasion, observed that Achebe has brought to Igbo honour and recognition as a result of his achievements.
Edozien, who is the traditional ruler of the Asaba kingdom (the Asagba of Asaba), said: “I am particularly happy to receive Prof Achebe. We all should appreciate him for what he is and for all what he has achieved which have brought honour to Ndigbo.”

The monarch stated that one of the ways of promoting the Igbo unity would be through the creation of additional states from the Igbo speaking states, adding that the Igbo should seek regional autonomy within the context of one Nigeria.

To ensure Igbo unity, Edozien said that the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership should be given the necessary assistance to operate, calling on the South East governors to make annual subventions to the organisation.

Among dignitaries on the occasion were Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State; Minister of Information and Communication, Prof. Dora Akunyili; Minister of State, FCT, Chief Chuka Odum; Senator Chris Anyanwu, Senator Arthur Nzeribe, former Minister of Information and Culture, Dr Walter Ofonagoro; former Governor of Anambra State, Dr Chris Ngige and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Major Gen, Ike Nwachukwu (retd).

Others are Senator Osita Izunaso; former Education Minister, Ikechukwu Madudike; former Minister of Health, Prof. A. B. C Nwosu; Professor Pat Utomi of the Lagos Business School, the Catholic Bishop of Owerri, Most Rev Anthony Obinna, Ohanaeze Ndigbo President general, Amb. Ralph Uwachue and former Ohanaeze president general, Dozie Ikedife.

Yet others are Prof Adiele Afigbo, Prof Catherine Acholonu, Prof Michael Echeruo, Prof Ernest Emenyeonu, Prof Chidi Ibe, Prof Anthony Anuka, Prof Emmanuel Iheagwan, Prof Green Nwankwo, Chief Chris Asoluka, Chief Hope Uzodinma and King Jaja of Opobo.
To our enemies when the time comes then you will understand that Igbos are more than the political Igbos Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba thought, blood is thicker than water.

Opobo–Nkoro (also spelled Opobo/Nkoro) is a Local Government Area in Rivers State, Nigeria. It is part of the Andoni/Opobo/nkoro constituency of the Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Rivers. The capital is Opobo Town.[1]

The Opobo–Nkoro people are mainly farmers and fishermen.They are of Igbo extraction. They speak Igbo language. Just like the neighbouring Bonny, founded by Ndokis of Azuogu, slaves from the hinterland transformed the demography of the area when the Transatlantic Slave Trade was abolished. Ijaws who came in as porters also settled there and the Igbo language was adopted. Although, there are no indigenous Ijaw communities there, most Ijaw migrants and porters have fully been integrated into the original indigenous Igbo communities.

Pro-Natura International Nigeria has been assisting in community-led development in the LGA.[2]

[s]I am from osumenyi in Nnewi south local government area and my mom is from Ihiala, so I am Anambara all through, You are a Yoruba masqurading as a Igbo man, BTW we Biafrans are not against anybody but you people who do not want us to be free because of little chicken change you get from your white masters. Is it the director that put them in that condition? They are in that dire condition BECAUSE OF THE ZOO! for God's sake! IPOB was in the fore front in making sure this stupid man was installed as governor and not ApC Chris ngige, now he wants to join ApC, he can join Aqim or al-Qaeda if he wishes but he should not drag IPOB into it. An average ZOO person cannot reason properly, it is very evident.[/s]

Sorry! You sound very silly, I hope you are aware what happen to Raph Uwazurike,when they tried their nonsense on Peter Obi at Ojukwu's father-in-law burial in Enugu. We are not against achieving Biafra republic, what we are against are: brainwashing Igbo youths and exposing them to danger, causing nuisance in our state, extorting money from innocent citizen all in the name of supporting biafra. I fully support achieving Biafra republic through permissible means not violent.

Txonyi:
fear of radio biafra
[s]OBIANO YOU ARE A DEAD MAN ALREADY
we will get you

for keeping silent when your own people IPOB members were killed under your watch, death must VISIT your family
