The parents should sue whoever owns that school.. this is a very big risk in the name of excursion.
The guys paddling those canoes are mostly fishermen, very good at swimming and they know how to maneuver their ways inside water in case of emergency. The passangers or tourists or whoever should be provided with life jackets in case of boat mishap.

@OP Don't be fo0led, such women are usually the ones begging men for love, they pay the bills, do all the chores and still give their body to men.
Just like the ones doing feminism, all of dem dey husband house now doing 'yes daddy", 'ekaro sir' up and down.. awon 'men are scum' geng don humble.

I understand the angle that Prince Eke is coming from.. while others were in grief on the sad death of their colleague, the Jerry Amilo guy was busy making video to post online with intention of making money from views.
No respect for the dead again.

Such is life.. not everyone that smiles or laughs with you is your friend.

DMerciful:
Show us what your family has donated!

You're just everywhere defending what is making people feel bad..
Despite the "New Nigeria" noise, your messiah is commissioning Stone age projects and you want people to be quiet. Nawa for you o.

I can imagine the heartbreak for Tonto.. na so the thing shock all of us.

Na so so substandard roads and boreholes for full everywhere.. the funniest part is that the same loudmouths that insult others at any slightest chance they get are the ones defending the eyesore of a project.

callmevirus:
Safety matters alot.do you mean a Nigerian man took you out? I guess that guy is not here on Nairaland

Whoever is behind that handle might actually be a very fine girl.. too many clowns are on this forum.

ManishSmith:
No life jacket, no floaters, no divers? What a shame

We risk too many things in this part of the world.. then when accidents happen, we rush to blame witches and wizards whereas such accidents could have been prevented from happening.

Eyah.. So sad.
He should have used a life jacket in that kind of boat na... even speed boats have life jackets talkles of this open one where they use packer to throw out water in middle of boat ride.

Why are you guys so unbelievably benighted?

A whole enugu you keep yapping about has a sitting governor,some set of senators and HOR representing constituencies and LGA chairmen!

These set of politicians receive Faac allocations directly or indirectly to better the lives of citizens in their domain but your problem is a philanthropist who decided to assist the impoverished communities with basic amenities like clean water with his own money!

The narrative before now was the quality of the borehole but since that has been played down and condemned,you decided to ask how many boreholes he has installed in enugu as if he is the current LGA chairman or governor of the state!


Walahi e go hard for una to get sense because of una miserable 30k stipends!

You are contradicting yourself sire.. you asked why the rich ab0kis in North didn't dig borehole for the community and yet still shying away from my own question on reason why igbo billionaires can't dig boreholes for every street in Anambra and Enugu battling shortage of water supply.

So if someone like Kwankwaso for example from the North start erecting this type of Obi boreholes all over Anambra and Enugu States because he is looking for Igbo votes in 2027, you'd be happy?

SeeWahala:
The only thing I know awolowo accomplished during the war was to invent RATAK kill & dry.

He tested it on himself too a very meticulous man he is

Stale..

Awolowo died peacefully at his Ikenne home at the age of 78 years and was laid to rest in same Ikenne. He died a happy and fulfiled man.
Stop peddling lies and falsehood around.

AlexBells:
It is not very accurate to blame Awolowo, Ojukwu knew from Aburi that the West had been defeated. However Awolowo did take some mischievous steps afterwords like advising the Eastern blockade and taking Igbo money in the bank but we rose from the Ashes and became the best

You're not being truthful..

After Aguiyi Ironsi was killed in the Northern counter coup barely 6 months into his Military rule as Head of State, politicians sat down and decided to hand power over to North to pacify North not to exit Nigeria.. then the Northern elites back then settled for Yakubu Gowon to become Head of State at barely 31years of age (still the youngest ruler in Nigeria's history till date).
Ojukwu of course kicked against this move and refused to recognize the Federal Government under Gowon, instead was finalizing plans to exit Nigeria together with oil rich Niger Delta region including Port Harcourt (without the consent of Niger Deltans). The meeting at Aburi was to call Ojukwu to order and remind him that declaring biafra would amount to treason (as Nnamdi Azikiwe and his fellow Igbos had kicked against secession clause earlier, claiming Nigeria's unity was non-negotiable). Ojukwu still went ahead regardless to declare Biafra with hope that France and co. he promised crude oil would support him. Little did he know that there was more to world politics especially when oil is involved.

The Igbos started attacking Lagos first, infact Pen Cinema then was attacked with bomb killing Yorubas in large numbers.. As if it wasn't enough, Ojukwu ordered his biafran soldiers to march into Mid-West with the motive of taking over the region and subjecting it to Igbo rulership which they did. An Igbo Military officer was appointed President over what he (Ojukwu) later termed Republic of Benin (including present day Edo State and Delta State). It was after that "success" that the biafran soldiers marched further into South West hoping to take control as they did in the Mid West but met fierce resistance from gallant Yoruba soldiers at Ore in present day Ondo State where scores of the biafran troops were killed and they had no option than to retreat back into the Eastern region. That marked the beginning of the 3 long years civil war which Yorubas got involved in seeing all the moves of Ojukwu that he didn't have genuine intentions about secession. The rest is history.

bentenny:
Yet 70% of citizens in that region with the so called professors, mineral resources and wealthy abokis cannot provide a simple access to a proper drinking water in mostly rural areas!

Walahi una nor get sense!

I guess you're living in Mars..
As tiny as Anambra State is (let me not mention South East), do you know the number of communities there without access to water?.
The whole of Enugu has been battling with water shortage for a long period now, why can't Igbo billionaires as they claim dig up boreholes in every street in Anambra and Enugu States?.

Obi wants to go and be using ab0kis to catch cruise in the name of politricks.. dey play.

Where I knew Awolowo was free and fair to all was in his free education policy for Westerners which even the Igbos born and bred in Yorubaland enjoyed.

Indeed all is fair in love and war.. na who get tactics pass go win war.

Arutan:
The fact that a Niger-Deltan, a Southerner was made for the first time FCT-minister was just too hard for them to take. Also the Lagos-Calabar super highway project is a technical knock out for them. Tinubu is strengthening the south and placing the south to national reckoning rather than to be dictated to by the North/northern elder forum. Tinubu is changing everything and trying to ensure everything works for this nation with the hardworking south at the forefront of it all.
PBAT election was outrightly divine. God blinded their eyes to enthrone someone who will be bold enough, rich enough and polically strong enough to call the bluff of the north. God enthroned PBAT for the sake of the nation’s wellbeing because he cannot be dictated to by the north and he has no political godfather. He was not bankrolled by anyone and above all he is wealthy enough not to need Nigeria money nor cower to dangote for assistance. PBAT is old and has nothing else to live for than make a good name for himself which can only be achieved by a determined rebuilding of Nigeria.
Everyone feels the pinch including myself but it’s worth at this moment the pain. PBAT is the forerunner to Obi presidency. PBAT is building and nurturing a new set of political leaders for a united south. If Obi had come in at this time, it would have been completely premature. Even Obi has been politically advised to go round the country ahead of 2027 to make himself visible. 2027 will be a sucker punch for the north as PBAT is not interested in second term. The 4 years he has is enough for him to make the right impact and reposition this country on economic success, growth and global reckoning. If the next president from the south fritters away all these gains, the. we have ourselves to blame. The south is the strength of our national economy therefore the south must be strengthened while the insecurity in the north is resolved. Focusing at this time on the north that is at war with Boko haram will be a complete waste. Even Dangote will not risk focusing his investment in the north at this time. To get Nigeria out of economic crisis, 60% of effort must be on the south while 40% on the north. To ensure we have a secured country, 60% of security resources and votes must be on the north while 40% for the south.
We must remain united to make it out as a nation. We must pray for the success of the leadership not our leaders. Nigeria remain ours and we all must bear with it all as other nations have done in the past.
God bless us all. Happy Eid-el-fitr.

You've said it all..

The godfather himself is President so no way any politician in North will pocket him. They know the dangers of toying with a man of Asiwaju's calibre. They know it will spell do0m for not just the North but the entire country.

They should go and wait till after 8 years when power will return to North.. For now, we are happy with the reforms and proactive steps taken so far by our amiable president.

God bless Nigeria.

I saw this coming.. a region with more professors than South East wouldn't tolerate such nonsense from Obi.
North is a blessed region with mineral deposits, example is Zamfara with gold mines everywhere. Obi deserves to be cautioned so he won't keep portraying Northern Nigeria as beggars enclave.

amaridigital:
No mind dem. Igbo often forget they are dealing with their masters here-The Yorubas and in the game of politics forget. Who NEF EPP? The whole northern establishment including their political leaders, the former president, VP, powerful ministers, Senate president and all the apparatus of Government and a whole major tribe were against Asiwaju in the last election yet he defeated them all. The only thing that can work against him in the next election is the economy. Once the economy improves, a billion NEF can never convince a malam to vote an Okoro as president. Quote me anywhere.

When 2027 is around the corner and calls for a separate Yoruba country intensifies, it's the same Northern elders that will come and beg PBAT to continue so that the country won't break..

I'm happy PBAT is living up to expectation with his economic reform policies that have started paying off.. the Northern elders turned Central Bank of Nigeria to their commercial bank umder Emefiele, something they can't try now under Cardoso. I learnt they have started sacking many of the workers from CBN and I'm pretty sure they are also affected.
The era of indiscipline in Governance and jamboree looting for Northerners from Government coffers is over.

As for the Igbos, let them continue to worship North because of votes, it's not the first time they would be doing it. An Igbo man with PhD once deputized a Fulani man named Shehu Shagari with lesser educational qualifications in this same Nigeria while Yorubas were in opposition.

Slytiger:
We have seen Arya Starr's project and now below is a from another local government in Lagos.

Peter Obi wants to bring Anambra's level of mediocrity to Nigeria 😂

I'm sure Soludo when looking at the pictures of boreholes credited to Obi would be shaking his head.

Obi is looking down on the North just like most people from his side.. It's still part of ethnic bigotry that is manifesting in his behaviour.
Well, it's not his fault sha but the bad leaders in the North who love impoverishing their people in order to enrich themselves.
Emir Sanusi recently said that a State Governor in one of the Sharia practicing States in North stole so much money and bought hotel in Lagos.. most of them have properties and estates in Dubai and other muslim countries around the world while their people keep on suffering, engaging in street begging, almajiri child begging and whatnot.

This guyman don too soft o.. see him looking like butty.

Back to topic, it's good to forgive and it's also not good in certain scenarios such as paternity fraud.
Nedu Wazobia na correct man, move the fvck on with life and never look back.. all guys should emulate Nedu a.k.a Officer Jato.

No NASS to be padding budget and be inserting non-existent projects in the nation's budget during Military era.. ours is democrazy in this part of the world, not democracy. Corruption at its peak.

Objectivist04:
The question is when did northern masses start voting independently without the direction of their leaders ? .

He who lose the endorsement of northern leaders have lost the votes of northern masses

Tinubu might be stoned in the north during campaign.

Just chill, you'd marvel at the level of support PBAT will get in the North come 2027.. the masses there are not chickens or goats without brain o.

Moreover, majority of the noisemakers calling themselves Northern elders supported either Atiku or Kwankwaso, they want to make it look as if they worked for PBAT's victory which is false. The Northerners themselves are tired of their bad leaders.

Ehhh.. so Jackie Chan has clocked 70yrs.
Good old days of Drunken Master, Dragon Fist, The Forbidden Kingdom, The Medallion and many others.

Jackie Chan the living legend who constantly sustained injuries on movie sets.. he ruined film trick for most folks. Happy birthday to one of the finest martial artists and entertainer of our time.

Someone should please remind Mr. Obi that whatsoever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.. this is just like mocking the people living in the area up North.
You are doing something others may want to copy and be replicating all over the place.. you're not in their minds to know that they'd construct something better than yours.

Donaldoni:
Nonsense!

Northern masses voted Tinubu!!

Exactly.. the Northern masses that desire positive change voted for the right man to do the job.
I see revolution coming soon to the North.. this crop of Northern elders will get the shock of their lives soon.

Of course they'll regret as things are beginning to take shape.. State police is coming on board soon and herders attacks will soon become a thing of the past. Oh I almost forgot, a Niger Deltan in person of H. E Wike as FCT Minister is a bundle of sadness for them. No more cash out from FCT coffers.

nobaga:
This will keep on coming up. But the questions are:

Are the Igbo the only ones that lost money during the war, what about Rivers and Midwest even some Hausa?

How much did the average Igbo that collected 20 pounds bring when leaving their towns and villages?

How much was standard six salary? 10 pounds, school cert? 14 pounds.

House rent in proper Lagos for one room 5 pounds, Surulere 2 pounds ten, Mushin one pound or ten shillings outside.

Yet, they talk today as if 20 pounds was 20 naira.

Awo's distractors called it a bribe to Igbo to vote for him.

Look, no matter what you do for Igbo, they will call you names.

God bless you for this.. the £20 Awolowo paid each one of them was even a jamboree that other tribes didn't benefit from.

I look in awe when I see how the revisionists try hard to paint Awolowo in bad light.. as if £20 then is #20 in present day.. This was after they exchanged the currency we had as legal tender to biafra pounds (mere paper without value). Calling them ingrates is an understatement.

iamtoofan:
These matter again ! i was surprised when kanayo.O.kanayo in afamefuna movie made reference to the £20 insinuating Nigeria govt short changed them, and £20 was what they had to build there entire life upon,

Most of us were not there but we can ask rhetorical questions to unveil the truth

It is a known Fact, Biafran currency was printed, on what bases was the currency given out ??
when Emiefele printed new notes, Nigerians were ask to deposit there Old note in there respective banks. isn't ?

The most logical thing Biafran bank at the time could have done is ask igbos to deposit there Old naira notes in xchange for new Biafran notes equivalent.

My guess is most igbos withdrew there money from Nigeria banks and took it to xchange for Biafran notes .. after the War no one will accept the Biafran notes from them, dem enter One chance !

what Next they resulted to sentiments and play the victim card, it worked ! they got free £20 they never appreciated lawason land and Alaba int'l were given

During the biafran war, i am sure Non-igbos died and some Nigerians suffer loses as well what did those ones Get ??
Ojukwu despite commiting treason, came back to Nigeria and got all his gratuity, was even allowed a befitting burial .. ki le tun fé


IGBO Amaka anywhere you no see igbo gurlz .. run nothing dey tha place

In all fairness, Nigeria owed Igbos nothing during and after the civil war because most if not all of them exchanged the currency at the time to biafran pounds (a currency that wasn't recognized anywhere in the world and had no value)...
My guess is that some Igbos took all the currency notes their people exchanged and stashed them in bank accounts abroad to be yeilding interests for them to pick up later on. History has it that the Igbos looted the Central Bank vault in Benin and took away all the monies saved there by other ethnic groups in Nigeria. The same Igbos blew up the Niger bridge that Nigerian government is spending billions to fix now.

They never asked Ojukwu and his lieutenants questions about the whereabouts of their finances and the fate of their offsprings after the war.. the hunger to fight and kill other Nigerians was too intoxicating for them that they left their feeding in the hands of the enemies they were fighting. You bought arms and ammunitions but didn't plan for food, then you turned around to blame Awolowo for not feeding you during the war.

They'll do things without thinking of the outcome and then turn around to blame others. Those in Port Harcourt took over all the Igbo properties in their city which they termed abandoned properties and spoils of war.

Attimes I imagine.. what if Pa Awolowo wasn't the Finance Minister back then?. Would a Northerner still nursing the pains of Ahmadu Bello's brutal murder in the hands of Nzeogwu grant Igbos a dime not to talk of who0ping £20..

Yorubas are the only ones that returned Igbo properties (plus rent collected in some cases) back to them in South West after the civil war, yet these people keep displaying bitterness towards our people and are always after Yoruba downfall in Nigeria. It's the Hausa-Fulani they prefer to play second fiddle to for reasons best known to them.
Person wey you dey play second fiddle to no go ever deem you worthy for presidency.

Obi should face Anambra first before going for charity works up North.. some of the richest Nigerians are from the Northern part of the country, let nobody fo0l you that they don't have wealthy people there.
This one would have been another GEJ that was busy building almajiri schools all over North that have all closed down while his own Bayelsa State and South South region in general lack basic amenities and infrastructure.

I don't think all these so called foreign airlines can go and misbehave in Niger republic or Burkina Faso the way they are doing in Nigeria.

Minister Keyamo should wake up and slam multi-billion dollas fine on all of them,the ones that can't pay should pack and leave, not as if they are useful like that.

So if Air peace didn't join the international route, the foreign rascals called airlines would have kept on extorting millions from Nigerians using dollar rate as excuse.
