If every region start showing churches and schools in their region, will this forum contain all of us?

This is what is deceiving these people that they are the best and first. Even in the north where Islam is prevalent, church properties and schools litter everywhere but our noisy neighbours no go allow us hear word.

Na real wa o

Our story, your premium tears.

Leave our story for us, or rather bore us too with yours. Nigeria is in need of beautiful stories, be bold to tell us yours if you have.

Unless you are a terrorist, then keep the gory details to your self.

Its only an onye Anambra that would understand why this is a big deal. For a state that loved education so much, producing some of Nigeria best academic exports in the past, our educational structures and system sank so low at a point that our children and wards lost Interest altogether. There was a time that students in Anambra stayed at home for one year because of strike.

Peter Obi saw the decay in the system and decided to clear the putrid table by handing over the schools to the mission. The beautiful outcome of that administrative master stroke is what we are celebrating today. The church both Anglican and Catholic mission has restored our pride of place in education in Nigeria. 20 years from now, the whole nations will understand the education revolution that is happening in Anambra state.

What Azikwe actually ended up doing with his 'sell out', to the Imperialist British, was selling the Igbo race to perpetual slavery, first to the Imperialist British and later, to the Nigerian state.
His deliberate greed and avarice, in collaborating with the British, to scuttle the genuine demands of both Western and Northern Nigeria, for a secession clause to be inserted into the 1955 constitution, is what is responsible for the endless travails of the Igbo race in the Nigerian Federation.


Were your fathers to have been contented with Igboland's God given natural resources, back then, in the 50's, 3 million innocent Igbo souls would not have perished during the Biafran civil war and all these perennial cries by Igbos, of being in perpetual slavery in their country, would not have happened either.

You also have a sitting President making reference to the whole Igbo race as being inconsequential in the Nigeria state and drumming it to your ears that he was part of the tormentors of your fathers in the 60's and threatened to give worst treatment than was given in the 60's, if you guys did not behave as expected as 'perpetual $lav€s' of the Nigerian state.

I am sure your fathers that outsmarted leaders of both Western and Northern Nigeria, by 'selling out' to imperialist British, in 1954, are regretting their actions of selling the Igbo race to perpetual slavery, in their graves.

More gibberish from a low level zombie. You just proved that your fathers were useless, the reason why the voice of one man drown all their collective noisy murmuring.

Igbos continue to outsmart you all till today. We got ya all independence from the British and today the you guys somehow cast expectation towards the east to lead your liberation from the new colonialists in town. You shall all wait for a long time. Igbos will fight for Igbos alone, carry your load oga.

You are not ashamed to admit that you and your entire tribe can not change anything in Nigeria. That because of Zik, you have handed over your destinies to almajiris foment futajalon. The history of the world is replete with the stories of great men and women who changed the trajectory of life event. Siddon look is not a virtue, it is mere cowardice.

Your mannequin president, threatened the entire ethnicities in Nigeria who are not Fulanis. He is forcing down Ruga down your throats by force. But the only thing you picked up from his speech is the his snide remarks on Igbos. Guy is your life so worthless that it is no longer news for someone to announced national television that your ancestral land is a passage way for his terrorist brothers. That they have his support to visit mayhem, rape and destruction upon you. Is this still part of Azikiwe fault?


Was Azikiwe the person that led the Yoruba elders and Kings to run to the colonialists and begged to be colonised when they got tired of killing each other? While Azikiwe tribemen held off the brits for 13 years fighting to be left alone, you guys voluntarily gave up your freedom. What, clause then are you talking about.

Goke7:


who will you blame for that? me? You guys are not serious, no be their colleagues dey push for grazing routes all over the country? You are living in alice wonderland, your national assembly members are not just telling[b] you guys the truth that secession will not pay you guys cos there's nothing much in the SE region. And if your're waiting [/b]for others to join you to push for referendum, una go wait tire cos every region has their agenda and don't care about you guys

Anything that makes you sleep at night. Dream onn! !!

Goke7:


@ the bolded, you have just indicted the pdp you guys are still supporting till today with this statement, you mean they were there for 16 years and gave no infrastructure support? remember you guys have been senate president, deputy senate president, deputy speaker and SGF all these times o, even same person has been senate president and SGF, chai what a shame.

It only tells a story that you guys have yourselves to blame and no other

The usual boring rhetoric. Igbos did not start migrating to other parts of Nigeria from 1999 when PDP took over. If anything, the PDP era saw massive u turn towards investing in igbo land.


Secondly, we are a business oriented ethnicity. Up coming business men with little cash who wants to grow, look for virgin markets where the services he renders are not common, so as to have an advantage. That is why you see Igbo of business men in remote villages of the north. They are simply looking for virgin markets with less competitors. Business 101

Goke7:


do you guys lack education? am I the one that will conduct a referendum for you guys? don't you have representatives in the national assembly? is abaribe not man enough? why is he not pushing for one is it remi tunubu that will push it for you guys?

Igbo political leaders would not be the one to push for referendum. They have learnt to behave like ostrich just like the rest of dumb people occupying the geographical space called Nigeria.

Nigerians will all run together to the national assembly in unison to demand referendum when the time comes. Fulanis herdsmen are ensuring that everyone sits up for the impending catastrophe.

Igbo leaders will continue to appear unserious until every other Nigerian gets sense. Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu will continue to send their regards to you people.

esnbrutality:
Something very disgusting about you people...and it sucks.

Now i want to know something ...

Did you say all this when endsars protesters where killed?

Did you say anything when "Peaceful Ipob" members were used as target practice by the same police and Military??

Did you say anything when DSS went to a a primary school field and killed 14 people that where practicing their religious beliefs without insulting anyone??

Did you say anything when the same police killed innocent people and tagged them terrorists?

Did you say anything when the boko haram members and Fulani herdsmen went on a killing spree in all regions of the country ..killing police/army/civilians and even kids??

ESN was formed to protect our people from useless desert dwelling bastards from the sahel...who the Military protect!!!...as seen in Ibadan!!...

No matter the level of emotional blackmail you think you want to use in making up useless stories about ESN/IPOB...be rest assured that in the international community ...your Government are the terrorists.

You are not deep in your thinking...and it gladdens me that being myopic is a blessing to you.

They are fools. Lacking courage of their own, they are always eager to see if Igbos will cower in the face of tyranny.

djon78:




Why should you even invest in his domain in the first place?

I believe the South East leadership has failed woefully

All this one they are talking to other regions are a waste of time

They should just creat enabling environment
That will enable the igbos to repatriate the wealth they have in the other regions of Nigeria
Back home

How many other regions are investing in the East
The way Igbos invest in other places?
Is it not foolishness

The leadership needs to wise up
And do the right thing

It is this there attitude
That made Nnamdi Kanu to gain strong foothold in the East
To the extent
Many youths are giving there life for Nnamdi Kanus course


It's a failed leadership
And foolishness also on the side of the people
To invest in other places
Apart from home


Igbos be sensible
Don't be foolish
Don't be deceived by anybody at all

Pictures of Onitsha, Awka, Enugu, Owerri and Aba has been displayed thousands of times on this forum. Igbo cities built up 100% by indigenous population.

The kind of houses Igbos build in their remote villages will put to shame some houses in Lekki and maitama.

Anambra industrialisation is wholly indigenous and latest statistics show that it is the state with the highest employment rate in Nigeria. This is despite being the 8th most populated state in Nigeria. So investing home is never our problem.

The issue is that FG by default has decided to abandon infrastructure support for the east there by taking large chunk of our collective wealth as a nation to other areas outside south East. They want to keep us away from the bazaar but we no gree. Since, you don't want the money to flow in East we must follow it where ever it is.

We do not carry money from the east to invest in any place, instead we leave the east to tap the resources of a place, make the money there and reinvest in the same place for the sake of posterity. We hate poverty dear. You guys cannot force us to have your kind of mentality. We like to live in beautiful houses abeg. This life na once. We own properties even in Afghanistan if you check well. Go figure

flokii:


You're pathetic... you draw first blood and now you're jittery over what comes after.
Winter is coming.. sit down and be forming yeye committee

You are the pathetic one and the only person jittery has to be you. Igbos are not shaking. You can't divert our attention with your reverse psychology.

The winter that is coming is going to consume the terrorists and their blood thirsty supporters like youself who think Igboland is Benue and plateau where they commit all kinds of atrocities and get away with it.

You guys has been crying "Igbo leaders should talk" for weeks now. They have spoken oya make una carry that one masturbate. But deep down you know what just happened today at Enugu was a mere jamboree. Power belongs to the people.

My opposition to secession-Zik
Sunday, June 25, 2017 8:28 pm

By Nnamdi Azikiwe

When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.

That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued.



The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level.

So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded.

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason

We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable.

The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? The Colonial Office came to our rescue. You know, the usual principle of Britain – ‘divide and rule’ (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us.

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason and that was what led to this war, because Col. Ojukwu seceded and so violated the constitution.

— Excerpt: Nnamdi Azikiwe’s interview with New Nigeria in 1975.



Your fathers forced 'one Nigeria', down our fathers' throat in concert with the British, in 1954 and the consequences of your fathers' greed and st€wp!d!ty is what the whole country is going through as a Nation, today.

Your fathers, in concert with the British made it a treasonable offense, punishable by death,for any one, who makes an attempt to break away, any component part of the country, from the Nigerian Federation.

The main reason we are all hooked today, as a Nation.

You just confirmed that your father's were just mere spectators when it mattered most in the history of Nigeria. If your father's were not slow, Nnamdi Azikiwe would have been stopped in his tracks.

Opportunity was presented to your fathers between1966-1967 to chart a new destiny for their generation. Brits and Fulanis wouldn't have fought wars on two fronts. Guess what they did? They ran back to Nnamdi Azikiwe position and chanted one Nigeria on top of their voice. Igbos through Ojukwu presented an opportunity once more and the ever scared westerners ran back to Brits and Fulanis tail between their legs without a fight.


Now 50 years after, with 3 years as military head of state, 8 years as civilian president and 6 years as civilian vice president, the cries continue. "Why didn't the igbo man Azikiwe, save us"?

Goke7:


oga, you guys should stop overestimating yourselves, there's nothing special about you guys. If your elites know that biafra has enough resources to survive, even zik would not have opposed the idea of secession clause in the constitution in his days, even the odimegwu still came back to aspire to be president of the country he wanted to break out from with all his earlier misadventure.

No one is holding you guys, you can even see that the north has said if you guys want to, oya go. Get your national assembly members to push for a referendum cos no one is holding them back not to do so abi na yoruba senator na im go do am? We don't really care much about you guys and that's the truth, it's your misbehaviour especially to your hosts where you are not indigenes that can bother us cos we need to protect our land abi no be so?

This is main thing eating you up. I know we can be too confident to the point of intimidating everyone else. That is why someone without a gun, knife and bomb can give you a scare in your own domain.

You need to protect your land from someone who is just armed with his hard earned money ready to invest in your domain? Lord Lugard, it will not be well with your soul.

Goke7:


You're living in fool's paradise, what are you guys really contributing to the economy to deserve such and what if every other person in other regions ask for theirs too or are you guys the only tribe in Nigeria? make una deceive una sef. The guy who quoted you earlier was right, lazy youths indeed, rubbish.

Secondly, you guys believe the guy in also rock is an impostor so why are you still expecting anything good from him, are guys not confused or deluded?

You are still off the mark. Even when I have broken it down to kindergarten level.

Igbos that CBN has been complaining that they don't want to come forward to access FG funds.

Here it once more, Buhari should hold unto the fake promises coming from the southern east leaders. 50 million people dey by the side dey watch the show.

Goke7:


cos they need the country than the country need them, don't you get it? You guys don't have the resources. You leverage on other regions to get by, abi you no sabi simple english?

Same way you need enough mental capacity to understand that right to citizenship is not dependent on whims of stupid people who populated a particular arid area scorched by sun.

May be the Brits did not explain to Almajiris, when they were urged to go and bring back the Igbo people who have renounced all the leverages to return to their domain in 1966, that you can't ask them to leave again.

You wanted to see our faces back in your backyard so much that you committed the sound of more than 400,000 soldiers to make it happen. Enjoy your market

MARKone:
How are South East leaders protecting people from other regions

Have any of your brothers or sisters been harmed in the east? Or are you a Fulani herdsman?

Nigerians are dumb Eziokwu.

Goke7:


I thought you guys are the richest in Nigeria, na so una poor rich? I told someone today that the igbos don't have enough resources to develop their region, you have just proved me right.

Just like the first Zombie that quoted this post, you clearly lack comprehension ability.

I was simply telling the mannequin at aso rock that he has to share the contract he intends to use to buy the Southeast leaders to every single person in the Southeast in order to have any hope.

Buying off or threatening few leaders to dance to your tune in Igboland is a waste of energy. Power belongs to the people.

Goke7:


this is not speaking up, this is begging cos you guys know that with all your misdeeds you're going to pay for it. Your Governors are using style to appeal to other regions not to retaliate your madness

Which misdeeds. Look at these cowards. Using reverse psychology to make Igbos look like the aggressors. Why have the whole country not turned against the terrorist Fulani's killing and displacing indigenious populations in Nigeria.

I understand, this is the kind of tone that makes you guys feel like warriors in Nigeria. That it why the almajiris including Buhari has been threatening southeast leaders for weeks now. Nnamdi Kanu is scaring the shit out of them, so they want to be comforted.

Well, Eastern leaders has giving you comfort. Sleep tight.

Good question..

There was a time Igbos, ESN or whatever were stopping buses looking for Hausas, Yorubas and other ethnic groups to lynch.. where were these so called leaders to caution them.

It's because of imminent reprisal attacks on their people that they are coming out now to say this.. if not they don't care, all they do is play victim with their yeye victim mentality

Liars! You guys can peddle falsehood. When has Igbos ever turned against or Lynched Yorubas or other ethnicities in the east?

Imminent ethnic reprisals against Igbos by whom? How many reprisals have been carried out against Fulani terrorists ravaging the entire nation and causing large scale human carnage allover.

You are a shameless coward Eziokwu.

OnionBandit:
Na now Una dey wake up?

Hypocrites! So they now agree there are violent secessionists in the South East and will engage them soonest...

When these untrained children where displaying the nihilism in them, almost all the so called leaders kept mute..the likes of Abaribe even claimed it was Fulani herdsmen burning down and looting Government facilities and killing security agents , unleashing never-seen-before terror on innocent people with views contrary to theirs..this is despite the countless evidence all over the internet nailing IPOB...

Now wey be say both the innocent and guilty dey suffer for the crimes of IPOB, the leaders finally found their voices. Una for wait till IDP camps full all the South East states

Shebi you are competing with North East

Your tears are too early. Fulani terrorists can't ever get a foothold in the east. Your jihad ends at the door steps of those whom has been in hot romance with you since the war ended.

All other peaceful northerners are free and safe in the east. But you see terrorists, their name na sorry.

Igbo leaders are catching cruise with the centre . Shebi una wan hear their voice abi, there you have it. Yet deep down they know they have no real power to influence any thing. Power lies with the people in Igboland.

Buhari should prepare mouth watering contracts for more than 50 million Igbos if he wants to buy our voice. . That is how it works down here.

In addition to sponsoring the Olympic-bound Nigerian national basketball team, AFA Sports kits teams in more than five African countries, and sponsors different football leagues as well sports camps and academies.


“Sports can become a real economic force for the entire continent,” says Udezue, who has recently been appointed chairman of the Anambra Basketball Association in Nigeria’s eighth-most-populous state.


Now this is commendable. The guy is doing well for himself and going places. Kitting five national basketball teams no be moi moi. At this rate he might rival Adidas, Nike and Puma in the sports apparel market.

Public Utilities Commissioner, Engr. Ezenwanne Carries Out final inspection of 2×60MVA Injection Substation in Awka

Anambra state commissioner for Public Utilities and Water Resources, Engr. Emeka Ezenwanne alongside officials of Niger Delta Electricity Distribution Company and NIPP earlier today carried out final inspection of an expandable 2×60 MVA built in Awka and ready for commissioning later this month of June.

The power injection substation project which was built by NDEDC and NIPP when commissioned according to the Commissioner will help increase hours of availability of power in Awka and environs. It will boost businesses and power industries.

Moreover, Engr. Ezenwanne informed that the 2×60MVA is different from the ongoing construction of six (6) injection substations in the state which is a partnership between Anambra state government and NIPP.

The Commissioner thanked Governor Willie Obiano for his continuous investments in the power sector which he noted is key to unlocking industrial revolution in the state and Southeast as a whole.

See me already salivating about the prospect of more 6 injection substations to be built in Anambra state. This is Obiano matching his Akuruo uno drive with action.

You can't ask Igbo industrialists to bring home their investments without providing the right infrastructure. This is good.

Please, I hope two of those new injection substations are sited at Nnewi. Nnewi needs all the power it could get.


My question is why Niger Delta Electricity Distribution Company and NIPP. What happened to EEDC?

post=102722216:

Governance is a continue process, Anambra is not one city state, it is foolish to compare Ebonyi to Anambra state, roads construction and developments cut across the state, Anambra is second most densely populated state after Lagos, I live in Lagos for years before relocating to Anambra 2015, the area I reside then was Lagbasa Lekki in Eti-Osa lga? the pictures of the access road you posted is far better than Lagbasa in Lekki, there are many areas with deplorable roads in Lagos even Abuja, Anambra state governor has done well by providing the capital projects across the state the incoming governor will concentrate on new access roads across Anambra not just Awka

A very intelligent response. Very well said. More could be achieved in Anambra state, but considering paucity of funds with several capital infrastructural development on going, leaving out some areas is inevitable.

Kudos to the Anambra state government under Obiano. He is positioning the state well economically and in the future we will all enjoy it.

That said, I believe he could still do an ameliorative intervention on the said access roads to ease the pains of commuters if he wants. Somebody close to him should bring it to his notice. You never can tell what will happen.

Persecution complex is more pronounced in your DNA but with a combined dose of delusion of grandeur is absolutely a recipe for collective disaster.
With NNPC granting licenses to oil and gas operators in SE, it's therefore an authorization to tap every ounce of energy resources both oil & gas in every nook and cranny of SE. The proceeds thereof goes into the federation account where it will be shared across the states. To the remote of Maiduguri and Ibadan, the gas in SE will be piped into the homes of every Nigerians.

So there is enough gas to pipe all the way to maiduguri and Ibadan from southeast afterall. If you want to hear summersaults of funny contradictions, hit a zombie in his emotional soft spot, fiam he will vomit the truth.

Do you even understand the concept of oil blocks?? How do you think oil blocks are created?? If you understand this and then understand the difference between oil and gas and their relationship with respect to the creation of oil blocks then you can talk. And by the way the oil multinationals in this country are mostly concerned about oil, natural gas is largely used for power generation, the likes of Agip, Chevron, Exxon etc are interested in oil, they're not trying to generate electricity for Nigeria.. they only want oil, federal Government is not allocating blocks with large gas deposit even if they do, these multinationals will still bid for oil-rich blocks.. they're after something they can export real quick but the narrative is changing. I hate when ppl talk so boadly about things they know nothing about

The guy you quoted is a spam bot. Thank God they kept their oil while allowing Ndiigbo to build up her human resources first.

Now we know exactly what to do with our gas

We have trained enough manpower to be able to benefit largely form our God given natural endowment. 50 years of tilling, now is champagne time.

God please bless Igboland with visionary leadership. Banish all the efulefus to oblivion so that the sun might rise again.

Having some skirmishes of gas projects do not amount to being the largest gas reservoir. Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta have tons of far bigger gas projects than you can ever find in the SE.
