It's good to let people know that this happened before the primary.

Most of the people supporting Peter Obi have no PVC. Its just online support

It's only you that have PVC! Rest

Sonyboom765:
How much debt did the fool left in the same state even when we can attest he as no signature project of any importance.

Obi is not your regular politician. He's far ahead of our political and social evolution. You're quoting an opinion by a politician. To put the record straight, Anambra was the least indebted state as at when Obi left office. Check DMO reports.

News flash: isiokpo was founded by Arochukwu men, hard core igbos.

oga that's pure lie , it won't cost 2b naira to get water in the whole of Enugu city.

I'm talking from professional point of view.
Getting water in whole of Enugu city will cost a trillion naira. 2b naira can't even build you a short span flyover

Water scarcity in Enugu metropolis is well established but people need to understand the underlying reason.
There's no single borehole in Enugu metropolis. Enugu is sitting on massive shale/extensive coal which is bad aquifer. It's simply economically impossible to drill borehole in Enugu, so that's why no private individual can develop borehole system in Enugu. Well water are common in some area but sometimes dry up during dry season.
The adjoining Ajali formation on the Udi plateau is quite a good aquifer and has been the source of water in Enugu through private mobile tankers. Enugu has water cooperation that source water from the area under Ajali formation which are outside the city serving small percentage of the people living in the city. Developing comprehensive water system in Enugu will cost a fortune(Billions of US dollars) which explains why the problem has lingered for so long.

I thought the man is from Nsukka, what stopped him from establishing it in his hometown.. He also left his hometown to build a car assembly plant in Enugu.. Nsukka people needs to learn one or two things from nnewi people..

Where is Agu Ekwegbe in? Is Igbo etiti not Nsukka?
What's wrong if he builds it any other part of Enugu State?

This man should keep quiet osiso.

For those thinking that South East has the highest prevalence should read the full report.
Above national average doesn't mean having the highest prevalence.

Premium Times (Abuja)
By Nike Adebowale
Two South-south states are among the three states with the highest HIV prevalence rate in Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom tops the prevalence rate chart with about 5.5 per cent of its residents living with the virus. It is followed by Benue which has a prevalence rate of 5.3 per cent while Rivers is third with a prevalence rate of 3.8 per cent.

The details were contained in the Nigerian HIV/AIDs Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) whose result was released last week in Abuja.

The result shows that about one per cent of Nigerians (1.9 million people) are currently living with HIV/AIDs.

This figure, according to the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, moves Nigeria from second to the fourth position among countries battling the HIV epidemic.

With an earlier estimate of about 3.2 million people living with HIV, Nigeria was second after South Africa which ranks first with about 7.1 million people living with HIV.



Announcing the NAIIS result in Abuja on Thursday, the Director General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDs (NACA), Sani Aliyu, said the percentage of People Living with HIV among adults is 1.4 per cent (1.9 per cent among females and 0.9 per cent among males.)

The National AIDS survey was launched in June 2018 to determine the true distribution of HIV and AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in the country.

The survey reached around 220,000 people in about 100,000 households and was conducted between July and December 2018.

According to the survey, the South-south zone of the country has the highest HIV prevalence, at 3.1 per cent among adults.

HIV prevalence is also high in the North-central zone with 2.1 per cent and in the South-east zone, 1.9 per cent.

The three regions with lower prevalence rate are the South-west - 1.2 per cent, North-east - 1.1 per cent, and the North-west zone - 0.6 per cent.



The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks cells in the immune system, which serves as the body's natural defence against illnesses.

Though the popular way of contracting this virus is through vaginal or anal sex, there are other ways. These include sharing of needles or syringes, piercings, tattoos, blood transfusions, semen (cum), or vaginal fluids into open cuts or sores on the body. HIV currently has no cure but can be prevented and managed with proper medication.

Below is the full list of states and their HIV prevalence rate.

THERE is no language like ekpotor in ette.

let me explain how the language is being spoken in ette.

Those that are close to full igbo town speaks igbo wawa nd those who dwell at d central part speaks idoma. Those close to igala people of kogi speaks igala.

Our own idoma is quiet different from the one that benue people speaks. Idoma language of benue people is quiet deeper than ours.

Don't make me doubt that you are not from there.
To start with, Ette is not contiguous to Benue nor Kogi state. Its in heart of Enugwu Ezike.
Their language is called Ekpotor by their neighbours. Ekpotor could be Idoma or Igala but I don't know whence my question.

jk200:
Idoma is generally accepted in the whole town followed by igala n igbo.

You said that you're from Ette?
I know that they speak Igbo and Ekpotor. Typically is Ekpotor Igala or Idoma?

Ette speak Igbo and Ekpotor

Psalm2423:
Well, I was more concerned bout the part where you said they speak Igbo, not really on the part where you said they have the names. Most people answer names which are different from the language they speak. It might sound weird but that’s the truth. I don’t know bout their surnames though, but they actually speak Ika, at least that’s what I heard them speaking for the six years I stayed there, they might have changed it shall And Ika is different from Igbo, so it shouldn’t be concluded that they understood it in any form. An Asaba man must use pidgin to discuss with an Agbor man, because he runs the risk of not understanding what the latter party might say. An Ika man fully understands Igbo, but an Igbo man won’t understand Ika (he will never understand a complete sentence). I’m pretty sure no Igbo person can argue that.

Igbo is diverse, Agbor man understands standard Igbo because he's Igbo, he would also struggle to understand some other igbo dialects like say, Nsukka, Ngwa, Mbaise etc.
I pick Agbor dialect but not 100%. I will struggle for sure but will pick some words and make meaning out of it.
It's not even argued because Ika is just one of the several Igbo dialects.

Lastorator:
Lying piece of sh"...
There is iindeenous igbo in Bayelsa ba ?
Oya mention the tribe.. You run.

There are indegenous igbos in akwa ibom that are older than even akwa ibom people... I adk you to mention the tribe and you run... Guy you are a nuisance.. I swear down

To help the guy
I know of Bayelsa where Igbo is indigenous like Abuetor, Osekwenike etc but I have heard of one community in Akwa Ibom in Ika local government though in minority. And in cross river, isobos are Igbos and proud one. You can follow their on Facebook page to verify. In Edo Igbanke are Igbo. Delta and Rivers are the only South South with Igbo as a major language. Other SS states just have few community and minority Igbo indigenous population.
Gracias

umuna:
It is your mother and father that is daft!

I'm sorry to ask if you are daft.
Address the point I raised.
Let's argue constructively

jamesversion:
So you believe what People in Ahoada, Emouha, Ogba etc speak is Igbo? Can you relate with them linguistically?

Of course.
Ogwu ikpelle in Ogbaru in Anambra will relate with Ọgba better than most other Rivers person, same with Oguta.
Ohaji person in Imo will communicate better with Emouha or Ikwerre LGA indigene than say Obio/Akpor or Portharcourt man.

jamesversion:
Be Sincere can you understand Ekpeye?

Ekpeye is Igboid just like itshekiri is yoruboid
But every other places that I listed are very clear Igbo variants that are intelligible with the rest of Igbo dialects.

jamesversion:
As for you, obviously you don't know what you're writing. Oyigbo LGA and Egbema community are the only self-recognised Igbos in Rivers. Pls avoid controversy. there's nothing you stand to gain by it.

We are talking about languages and you're talking about politics of expediency. Linguistically, are languages spoken in the places that I listed notvariants of Igbo dialects?
Talk true

kikake:
Lol. Igbo should have been written as the second major language in Lagos state.
It's like the author would write that the language spoken in Abuja is the language of the first settlers in Abuja before Abuja was made capital of Nigeria - falsehood.



Thus is what lust for crude oil and gas money from the east caused.

This could have been a good topic for knowledge sake if Nigerians aren't rabid tribalists.
The Op was actually talking about indigenous language and at the same time trying to be politically correct.

umuna:
I thought you will add Rotimi to amaechi's name? In Delta state, people from Itsekirri and Urhorobo bear Yoruba names. In Kogi and Edo states they bear Musa, Audu and Mohammed etc.

Are you daft?
Rotimi is Amaechi adopted name just like Buhari adopted Okechukwu, Itshekiri is a yoruboid language and I'm not surprised if they answer Yoruba names.
I'm talking of native names or are you saying the listed names are not indigenous to Ikwerre or is Rotimi also indigenous to Ikwerre?

umuna:
You zip your mouth! it is ikwerre language and not igbo. it is only those biafrud that will be claiming what is not in other states. Stay in your land locked state please. it is pronouced oyingbo and not oyibo! get that into that your thick skull! you guys have rushed into these LGA to claim that they are Igbos.

What does Chibuike Amaechi, Nyesom Wike, Elechi Amadi, Obi Wali, Dike etc mean in Ikwerre
You should know that these are native names of the aforementioned people.

Cc: Lastorstor

Your attention is needed here. He’s saying they still are a major language in Akwa Ibom. Only God knows who is right among you two.

Igbo is not a major indigenous language in Akwa Ibom but there are minority villages where Igbo is an indigenous language.

jamesversion:
Since when did Igbo become major language in Rivers. A language spoken only in Oyigbo and Egbema clan in Onelga is now a major language. See misguided report.

If you know rivers very well and know what language means, you will know that Igbo is the largest indigenous spoken language in Rivers.
Igbo and it's dialects are spoken in
Portharcourt lga
Emouha lga
Opobo
Ikwerre lga
Onelga
Etche
Omuma
Obigbo
Omuma
Obio/Akpor
Bonny
Ahoada East lga

Unbelivable, close to 99% from one region! Was Abike Dabiri right or not when she said 20 out of 21 Nigerians awaiting execution in Indonesia are from Anambra? She was speaking from facts while many were countering her based on sentiment and tribalism. Here is another proof, this is one of the reasons PayPal and many other online businesses don't want to include Nigeria in any financial dealing which is affecting many legitimate users from Nigeria. EFCC should intensify more effort locally while other countries around the world should collaborate with EFCC to flush out fraudsters and drug dealers in their midst. Nigeria, will be great again! And believe me, there is something in the east aside poverty that we are yet to understand, but pushing youngs and adults into drug and fraud related cases than other regions in the country.

This is probably Invictus network and that's why there are more Igbos. In other news Yorubas are more into Yahoo, so don't make seem like it's an Igbo thing.

ItsTutsi:
So Ekwueme Brown left Enugu state all the way to port-harcourt to teach them how to kidnap..mtsww dis ibo set!!

Just like Amaechi, Wike and Odili left Enugu state to become the governors of Rivers state.

Infinityk:
Pls people should disregard this news
Its not from waec
Having a1 parallel doesn't mean he is the best
Waec uses point system
A person who gets 90 is higher than a person who gets 75,but they are both categorized as a1
People should wait for original waec release to list the three best students in waec
This is another propaganda from a hungry ipobs blog
Kudos to him
But let's wait for official one from waec

You're largely correct except that 75 is not A1 but rather B2

DREAMZZZ:
they brought too many foreigners including a jamaican

Who be Jamaican there abeg? �
