IAMBlesssed:



You need to travel out of your region for once..

Honestly, I always laugh my head off at the crass ignorance the average skull miner exhibits here. These primitive lots due to lack of awareness and travel, actually believe that life starts and ends in Lagos. Lol, they fail to understand that Igbos are like the Jews and the Lebanese who are all over the world making exploits but never forgetting their homeland!! Igbos may be in Lagos, Abuja, P.h and elsewhere across Nigeria, but they are also in large numbers across SSA, Asia, Europe, America etc. An Igbo adage says that "onye ije ka onye isI awo nma" "a traveler is better than an old person who stayed at a spot all his life". What these envious afonjas are displaying here is nothing but unbridled envy!! There type are those that hate on successful people and call them ritualist, drug pushers or Yahoo guys just to feel good and accept their worthlessness.
I have been to several cities, towns and villages in the SW, and the kind of old and decayed mud houses these people live in always shocks me to the bone marrow. If only they could come to the East and see the type of houses Igbos live in, both in the cities, towns and villages, they would instantly feel sorry for themselves. I am in Owerri, and the type of houses I see springing up in the suburbs always me wonder if Igbos are immune to the poverty currently ravaging Nigeria.

Pastor Of The Lord's Chosen Beats His Wife To Death On Christmas Day Over Feeding Money, Charms Also Found In His House
An ex-boxer who is now a pastor with the Lord's Chosen, Mr. Everistus Ezehiri has beaten his wife to death over feeding money at their home in Uli, Ihiala LGA of Anambra state. According to reports, trouble began when his wife who was a petty trader at the local Ekeagbagba market asked him for money to enable her cook on Christmas day. Rather than provide the money, Mr. Ezehiri turned her into a punching bag leading to her death. Youths of the village and neighbouring community caught him, beat him up and set his home ablaze. They also uncovered various charms in his home.

Chai, buhari why

We love you Nnamdi Kanu, your exploits is already permanently etched on marble!!

Oh my God, this is so outrageous to say the least. The picture speaks volumes indeed!! For any discerning mind with at least an average IQ, you will know that this is a classic master-servant scenario. For the old Malam who may even be semi literate and completely ignorant of fiscal due process to be sitting like a Capon/drug lord of a cartel while the head of the Central Bank of a country, a sensitive position in charge of all monetary transactions, stoops so low with a meek, subservient and absolutely loyal demeanor, and calmly taking instructions from him shows how bastardized and hopeless Nigeria is. This is the kind of sh!t that happens in banana republics or countries ruled by despots like we had during Idi Amin's Uganda, Abacha's Nigeria, Hugo Chavez's Venezuela etc.

Any Nigerian who doesn't see anything wrong with this picture is an irredeemable bastard, whether they are paid zombie or not!!

Even if that old Malam in that picture orders that apology of a CBN Governor to wire $1 million to his account, do you think that servant I'm seeing in that picture will object??

Little wonder why this country has gone to the dogs and has become the world's poverty capital.

A return of this ridiculous government of re.tards will see people scavenging from the dustbin in order to find what to eat while insecurity will be worst ever in history! I'm not a prophet but the signs of the coming disaster should buhari/Jubril return is very clear on the wall.

Bros, Baga is a border town between Nigeria and other countries. That's why they have a MNJTF (multinational joint task force). Boko haram now ISWAP can come in from bothering countries to attack and leave if they succeed or not. That's is what is referred to as gorilla attack. Hit and Run.

After the attack of about a month ago were more than 30 soldiers (I'm using more than, because I'm not sure) were lost, PMB had to visit Chad because they had their own part to play in those border town but withdrew their troops causing a huge loophole for ISWAP to attack our troops.

Give the troop a break. It's not easy to be fighting and giving your life while others are enjoying in the comfort of their home.

No be only "Gorilla attack" monkey attack nko?
Continue making excuses upon excuses while the whole world laughs at your gross stupidity as a nation and a so called army. The NA continues to wait in their camps as sitting ducks while the boko Haram continues to attack and decimate them on a weekly basis. What happened to all the billions budgeted for the fight against boko Haram?? What happened to the so called jets they are supposed to have bought from Pakistan?? While don't they go on a steady surveillance and be proactive to ensure they always rout boko Haram before they could do any damage?? What's the need of soldiers even remaining there since they have become target practice to boko Haram?? Can they ever win this war even in 20 years time if they continue at this pace??
Those policemen that ran away are wise indeed because only a fool will allow himself to be sent to an almost assured death!!

Such a ridiculous government and army.

Hmnnn, interesting. Padlock is also called Igodo in Igbo.

Yea. The last time I went to Owerri, I was so impressed with how orderly the main city was. So orderly. I av been to many places in Nigeria. Many cities, north, west, south south, east, u seriously think Owerri beat them all in terms of orderliness. I was shocked how the people there are so orderly. Lol I felt in love with that city o. I posted it on my fb. I never knew Owerri was that organized. I hope to build a house there some day.

You are not alone bro, I already have a land in Owerri, but it is situated in a students environment so I'm mapping it out for a hostel structure while I'll buy another one around Spibat where I'll build a duplex once I have the cash. I enjoy living in Owerri, I relocated from Lagos in 2013 when I became fed-up with that urban jungle, after an earlier brief stay in Abuja after my NYSC. I can only leave the city if I'm migrating from Nigeria to stay abroad. The other alternative would have been Abuja but the rent there is crazy.

Princedapace:


Bros no be lie o. Same with Enugu. Though not every where but the few places look really cool and unique. I was at Owerri the other time and I was so in love with the orderliness of that city.

The only city in Nigeria without the menace of bikes and Keke napep!! Also, what helps Owerri in being an orderly and beautiful place is the fact that the city and adjoining suburbs has a very high number of educated people, intellectuals, and a relatively large presence of people who have lived abroad but now resides in the city. Almost every Igbo man who has stayed abroad but wants to come back home always liked to stay in Owerri or Enugu so all these has contributed to make the citizens very critical and relatively exposed.

ararumeteam:




don't be deceived. i am in owerri now everywhere look is filth and bad roads. i took dis pix just last month. ararume will fix owerri and imo at large.

Did you say Ararume? God forbid!! Rochas will be a million times better than your Ararume!!! That dude has nothing reasonable or tangible to offer Ndi-Imo and he is going nowhere. Ihedioha is the right person Imo needs now to solidify all the China infrastructure Rochas built.

Incredibleme:


I don't think PH is an aesthetically pleasing city. It's merely a highly populated place with more businesses. Ph GRAs are child's play compared to new owerri.

You are right, Owerri is more aesthetically appealing than P.Harcourt and Lagos, and is only second to Abuja. I guess I was mixing it up because those two other cities are traditionally regarded as Nigeria's pioneer cities along with Abuja. However, P.harcourt is really underperforming seriously, and I don't know if it was the effect of the abandoned property saga that made mainland Igbos to look away from the city which resulted in its stunted growth. P.H was miles ahead of any other city in Igboland as at 1950's to 70's when it was famously known as the garden city but Owerri, Enugu and Onitsha have all caught up with it considerably and this is despite the fact of it being the oil capital of Nigeria. If P.H has been growing optimally, it should have been a lot more developed than it is already. If Owerri has the sort of money that P.H has, it certainly would have been rivaling Abuja by now. Abandoned property saga did a lot of damage to P.H because the large middle class and rich Igbos would rather invest in Owerri, Enugu or even Lagos and Abuja than in P.H.

eaglechild:

Owerri aesthetically pleasing?
It has the potential definitely, if its fertile land that can support greenery and relatively good planning is explored but for now it's a long way off.
If I may as which are the first 2 cities?

I hope you do know what aesthetically pleasing means? If you do and you know Owerri very well, then you wouldn't be asking such question!!
I have lived in or at least visited almost all the major cities in Nigeria, so when I gave it Owerri, I know what I'm saying.

Owerri has this abroad looking feel. It has a Beautiful weather and clear airy look. More lush green vegetations would make it a lot better.

Very true, I was strolling along Whetheral road this Sunday morning and the atmosphere was really superb and very lovely: wide road, covered drainage and beautiful houses all around!
Owerri will soon knock off P.harcourt to become Nigeria's third most aesthetically pleasing city!;

Rhatti I think I've heard that name in a movie or something

Lol, that's a popular phrase back in the days when we were small. Ratti... Ratti-gbuai.... Characters that were called Ratti-gbuai then were usually funny and cunny

Oshigun:


Lol. So funny how you lot always shout ICC as if it is an extension of IPOB. You think the ICC backs proscribed terrorist groups against democratically elected Governments and leaders who have the mandate of their people?

Is it ICC that voted Buhari and APC to lead us or Nigerians from all States of our nation? Una mumu suppose to don do na. Shey na curse? Perhaps ICC should ressurect Osama Bin Ladin and jail Obama. R.etard things.

Why are you so re.tar ded and unintelligent?? What has IPOB got to do with calling out the terrorist and incompetent id1ot in aso Rock whom you ret.ar.ded zombies keep worshipping??

Yes, ICC will jail the terrorist in aso Rock for crimes against humanity. For all the thousands that were massacred in Benue, for the hundreds of shittes that were gunned down with 50mm caliber weapons, for all the IPOB members that were murdered in cold blood etc, the id1ot will answer for them and he will spend the rest of his bloody life in prison!!

Look at the illiterate talking about proscription, bingo it may interest you to know that IPOB is a global body recognized in virtually all the countries that matter, and they hold rallies and meetings whenever and wherever they want, so your zoo government can go to hell and burn to blazes for all they care!!

Malnourished and poverty stricken re.tards in their hideous and dirty slum homes in the waste think they have an opinion. Lol, the joke is on you bingo!!

deomelllo:





So, corrupt people like Ekweremadu with unexplained wealth and properties all over the world and violation of the laws of Nigeria should never be investigated or punished for violating the laws of your own country simply because the governor in Kano who the government can not prosecute because of constitutional immunity is yet to be arrested?


See how senseless, ignorant, illogical and corrupt you ipob sound sometimes?

You must be a re.tard.ed and incurable zombie. The least person among IPOB members is still far better than you can ever be!!
Does immunity still cover the incompetent chief of army staff who has properties worth billions of naira in Dubai and other foreign countries? Does immunity still cover the id1ot that cut grass at the IDP camp with millions of naira?? What about the numerous others in his cabinet and within the APC that has been caught red handed stealing, how many of them has been probed??
I know you don't have any grey matter in that thick skull of yours and that is why you re.tards keep supporting a total failure and terrorist like buhari.

Shame on you, bingo!

Not just Southerners but only Easterners as there were 4 Igbo senators and 1 Ibiobio yet gandollar and the rest are being shielded by these corrupt bastards claiming to be fighting corruption!!
They forgot that this is UK, a country that won't be selective like them but will rather probe anyone found culpable.
They even gave the same Hope Uzodinma the APC gubernatorial ticket for Imo state!!
Buhari/Jubril will not escape ICC in due time.
Worst government in Africa!!

GenOrumov:
I watched a 1935 filmed british movie and in there, there was electricity already. There were many tarred/interlocking paved streets.

While pictures in Nigeria around the same period and beyond showed people still unclad, no electric power lines connecting homes, mud houses etc. Even the 10 lane popular Ikorodu road had not even existed in 1947.

My point is present day Nigeria can be likened to the Britain of around 1935. Nigeria/Africa and the West should not be compared as they started developing long before we started. They even contributed to our underdevelopment as they stole from us, forcefully took our resources and took us as slaves to build their countries.

What we see happening in Nigeria is what i liken to a child (remember we gained independence just in 1960 while Europe and America were already adults at that time while we are babies newly born) just growing up and you are asking it to run or behave like an adult.

You may say but Malaysia and Indonesia were also born around the same time as Africa. Yes!!!! But do not forget that children from the same parents grow differently not to talk of children from different families. Africa had to contend with religion, tribalism etc.

I would say that there is something wrong with the black man (Africa) which i cant explain. I don't know if its God that cursed him to be slaves for the whites or to play second fiddle to the whites or God made the whites to conquer the blacks. I do not know or be able to tell.

What i know is that given how long America/Europe had developed and still developing, Africa too will grow at its on pace to where its counterparts are. Its just a matter of time. Its just that we are fortunate (or if you say unfortunate) to be in this era where Africa is just developing. The developed America/Europe enjoyed today was not created by the current generation but by the sacrifices (tears, blood, hard work etc) of their forefathers which is no different from what we are presently doing. The America of today may be what our grand children and the generations after them will enjoy here in Africa based on the sacrifices of we the current inhabitants of Africa. That's why its important for us to contribute positively to nation building.

Or is there anyone here working for only himself and not for the people they call family (which may include neighbours, friends, siblings and children)?

I may be wrong in my submission. Its just how i see it to all be.

Yes, you may not be absolutely wrong but you are largely wrong. You are trying to give logical reasons why Nigeria is still a sh!thole donkey years after, while most others have left us behind. The point you failed to grasp is that Nigeria has remained stagnant in many areas while others kept developing and I will give you instances.
1. That Kano primary school picture shown there, several decades ago is better than 70% of public primary schools today in both Kano and across Nigeria!!
2. China, India, S.Korea and the Asian Tigers were largely at the same level with us back then but today, S.Korea has become a first world country and the other countries have all developed and almost closed the gap completely between them and the Europeans that had a headstart.

3. It is not about who started first rather it is about who maintained a steady growth and development over the years. That is why despite the fact that Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Ethiopia and Italy who were once technologically advanced are no where today.

4. If these pictures were taken with the advanced camera we have today, complete with HD colors and high pixels, you will be shocked to discover that there is very little difference between then and now except that population has ballooned. Which means that 50 years from now may not look much different from what currently obtains in Nigeria but believe me, other countries would have become light years ahead of us!!

5. Do you even know that Lagos of 1970 is almost the same with the Lagos of 2018, almost 50 years later!!!

6. These pictures has overwhelmed me, and it shows how much we have sunk against time. Do you even know that there groundnut pyramids in the North, Cocoa, Palm products etc of which we were topping global production in the past??

7. Did you even know that trains, postal service, ferries etc were functional back in the 1960's??
Did you even know that there were far lesser number of poor people in Nigeria in terms of percentage in the 1960's and 70's than today??
Did you even know that graduate unemployment was non existent in the 1970's?? Now some do argue that population was smaller then but that is not an excuse because as our population is growing, so should our economy and if China and India with over a billion people apiece are not having massive unemployment then why should we with less than 200 million people??
At the rate we are going, a time will come when graduates will be doing menial jobs just to earn peanuts!!


8. Maybe you are right about the black man being cursed because I can't see any explanation why we like suffering and going in circles when we know what to do to change our situation!!

9. Let every state or region manage its own resources and grow at their pace which will engender patriotism and healthy rivalry for development or break up this country to more manageable units rather this archaic system we are running that keeps everyone perpetually down.

10. The truth is that we are doomed if we fail to act fast because all these tribalism we are currently facing will get worse because they are actually caused by mass frustration and hysteria, and we will end up killing ourselves in the future if things continue to deteriorate like this in Nigeria!!

Baselm:
Why are all these organizations biased in their report? Everybody watched the video of when the guys started stoning the military men when they asked them not to proceed. what about the ones arrested with petrol bombs by the police. That particular stoning video trended most during the time, I'm surprised its not in this video report.

Look at one of them, such a stone hearted barbarian!!
Even if the protesters were hauling stones at the military, now means the military must retaliate by shooting them with 50mm caliber weapons??

Have you seen were protests are happening in sane climes? The use of rocks or clubs is almost normal in protests but using 50mm caliber firepower against people hauling stones is the worst savagery ever!! And for you to be supporting these barbarians equally show how wicked you are.

Oh my God, what the hell did I just watch?? How are those bastards in uniform different from boko Haram?? These terrorists in uniform did same massacre against IPOB in Umuahia during the ambush on Nnamdi Kanu. They did same massacre against the shittes in Zaria and now this one in Abuja!!
Thank God that a world renowned media like New York Times are the ones reporting these crimes against humanity, by God's grace the terrorists beginning from the idiot in aso Rock down to those doing the shooting, non of the will escape ICC and hopefully end the remaining of their miserable lives in prison!!!

To even imagine that these same terrorists are promising next level of deaths and destruction leaves me speechless!!!

He was arrested for intent to defraud and incriminating documents found on him. He didn't get 12.5M Pounds

Yea, merely looking at him you could discern that the guy is probably yet to pick a dime from Yahoo but may be frolicking with other successful Yahoo guys who are teaching him the ropes.
I'm not in support of fraud, but if I'm to be the judge here, I will give the least acceptable sentence because he wasn't trying to defraud individuals who could easily commit suicide but big overseas companies that can only shrug off the loss and move on. There are many Russians, Indians etc who are even more into these sort of fraud than Nigerians.
A good lawyer should be able to get him free from the allegations because merely having the documents in his computer doesn't prove anything since he could claim to have bought it second hand and never knew it had such contents inside it.

And when you think you have experienced the worst form of absurdities under this unfortunate APC government, another crazy one will still emerge from them!!
Do these re.tards even understand the implications of what they are doing to this country??
How can a so called government spokesman come out openly and so unabashedly tell the whole world how they just ordered the head of a very sensitive agency to go and doctor figures!!!
Even if they are so desperate, where is the wisdom in telling the world how figures are arbitrarily churned out by order and not based on real life statistics and facts!!!
OMG, this is so unbelievable and even the likes of IDI Amin Dada and Abacha regimes weren't this crazy and stvpid.


ANYBODY STILL SUPPORTING THESE VAMPIRES NEED TO HAVE THEIR HEAD REEXAMINED!!

Wait oo, are my eyes deceiving me? Are those not South Westerners bashing Aregbe the rascal and indirectly praising Obi? Reading zombies comments on nairaland will make you think all SW people are like them.
Truly hunger knows no religion or tribe.
LET'S GET NIGERIA WORKING AGAIN.

Lol, I was literally rolling on the floor with laughter at all the hilarious tweets.
These are almost Yorubas all through condemning both Aregbe, APC and even Osinbajo but here in Nairaland, zombies keep making noise about how popular APC is in the SW. Any opposing argument against the evil regime of Buhari is immediately tagged IPOB just to hoodwink the gullible ones into believing it is a we against them contest but they failed to realize that hardship knows no tribe nor religion.

These waste people are the worst tribalists in Nigeria!!
Last time was Fashola, a serving minister making divisive statement about why Yorubas should vote for Buhari for selfish reasons, now is a serving governor in a despicable show of shame!!
Nigerians are being elected into positions in UK, US etc but here in our own country, what do we have? Primitive I'd!it's saying nonsense everyday yet they want us to remain as one country when there is no basis at all.

sw is the most developed region in Nigeria. the region that generate most from human resources is the most developed. You can't compared it with region that depends only on natural resources.(1) the highest number of most and best functioning institutions and religion certers are in the sw. (2)the most popular , the most beautiful and best AIRPORT with highest incomes IN NIGERIA IS IN THE SW( THE MOST POPULAR AND THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT CENTER IN AFRICA ITS IN SW. (3) NUMBERS OF MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE IN NIGERIA EITHER YORUBA , IGBO OR OTHER TRIBES RESIDE IN SW.(4)THE NIGERIA'S BEST SEAPORTS IS IN SW. (5) HIGHEST NUMBERS OF RICH PEOPLES IN NIGERIA RESIDE IN SW.(5) THE RICHESTS AND MOST POPULAR CELEBRITIES IN NIGERIA RESIDE IN SW. (6)80% of x governor's in the southern Nigeria reside in SW.(7) The most beautiful city and local governments in Nigeria is located in SW .( the best and most beautiful pedestrian bridge is located in SW.(9) the best hospital in Nigeria is located in the heart of SW. (10) the second best and most expensive estate is located in SW . ( highest numbers and best television stations in Nigeria is located in sw. (11) All head quarters of banking industry in Nigeria is located in SW. (12) 95% of goods consume in Nigeria is manufacturered in Sw. .( 13) 95% finished goods and raw materials coming into Nigeria through either airport , seaport or land border passed through SW. make I stop here. triberlism don kill us for Nigeria. to say the truth dey hurt us , most especially my brother of the other side. hatred no go make unna say the truth. if all dis i mentioned above are located in one region and you're still saying they are in third position then , I am short of words.

You people keep making the same mistake of thinking that SW is Lagos and Lagos is SW, that's very wrong. 99% of all you listed takes place in Lagos, so what about the rest of the region? Same way NC will not base its argument on Abuja because there are several other states in the NC and when you aggregate all and subtract the average, what you get becomes low.

Cheii
People just throw IgbereTV aba figures about

Perhaps , you you meant , you meant , WAEC No be ya fault if not NL that allow anybody to just open thread and throw figures about.

Shm

You think I have time for propaganda and empty talk?
All the SE states especially IMO, Anambra, Abia and Enugu are always in the forefront in terms of literacy, school enrollment into primary, secondary and university levels. Check all the data available for JAMB, WAEC, Unity schools etc. Even Ebonyi that used to lag behind is now always in the first 10.

PS712:
I pray this war ends soonest!

How is that so, I mean how can you have such optimism after seeing everything that is going on??
The truth is that going by what is happening in the NE, this boko Haram crises will never end, and I will give you reasons.
Some members of the elite including the military hierarchy are feeding fat from the crises. This is why the soldiers are always being sabotaged every now and then and the tactical arming of boko Haram each time the NA abandons their equipment. Also, each time the government pays them ransom for kidnapped victims they become more fortified to buy more sophisticated arms and also to pay their fighters.
Lastly, with the biting poverty and mass illiteracy in that region, they will always have a large pool of locals to recruit.

It's a close call between SE and SS, for the top and second position. SW third, NC fourth and lastly NE (already a failed region in all ramifications).

When you talk about development, it is all encompassing and includes the following:
1. Educational development
2. Infrastructure
3. GDP per capita
4. Human capital development
5. Access to healthcare
6. MDG attainments etc.
In the light of the above, SE is the most educationally developed region followed by SS. Same in MDG attainments and others.
However, the truth is that the system of government Nigeria is running keeps everyone down but if we are to go back to regionalism, it will become more glaring.
On the whole, the South and to a lesser extent, the NC if not the insecurity in the region, has got huge potentials to grow massively.

Let us go back to regionalism, the healthy competition will certainly spur growth.
