“From what the Federal Ministry of Works has told us, there will be no stoppage until work is completed; meaning, funding will not interrupt the project or slow it down,” the source said. However, the source said the issue of compensation on affected communities cropped up occasionally, noting however, that the Federal Ministry of Works had equally promised to resolve the issue
JUST IMAGINE, A PROJECT WAS STOPPED BY BUHARI IN 2015, CLAIMING HE WANT TO COMPENSATE LOCALS.
IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE, LOCALS ARE STILL NOT COMPENSATED
NOW HE IS RESTARTING GEJ ONGOING PROJECTS AND WANT PRAISE FOR CONTINUING A PROJECT THAT HE STOPPED.
omonnakoda: Did we take your houses the last war? This is the real problem you folk don't know the difference between fantasy and reality The Ikwerne whom you want to claim by force are the only ones that took your houses. You believe your own stupid lies that is why you are treated like children You claim Orji Uzor Kalu is so rich the CBN begged him to take his money to the World Bank which could only take half while the other half went to the IMF imagine! Onitsha market is the largest in the Milky Way and the US Army buys drones there. Those are the kinds of stupid claims you make with a straight face Building which houses? From Okrika and Rat poison? What bank accounts These are stupid lies that were busted here on Nairaland Not one Eboe man has come out with bank books to back this claim not one
[/s]
There is evidence to back my assertion.
I rarely speak without back up.
Unlike your emotional rants.
Cry from now till tomorrow, unless u change, u will remain backwards and keep blaming igbos for their success.
So how is this some kind of plus to igbos?? Dt some yoruba men are marrying ur girls. You seem to see it as an achievement. You guys really don't think deep.
So those ur women dt came to yorubaland and married Yoruba men, hope u know they've WILLINGLY given up their igboness to become Yoruba. I mean she's now "mrs adewale" forever. Her daughters will become future "yoruba women". The husband and wife wont be visiting any eastern village for holidays. They are officially a minus from ur land.
omonnakoda: You are talking tangentially and off point. Ebola are amongst the poorest in Nigeria. Most cannot even marry till they are in their 4t0s because of the mercenary attitude and culture. Is it the ones selling rat poison or Okrika clothes that are better off or the conductors? How many Yoruba conductors are in Eboeland? You like deceiving yourselves about how well off you are when you are empty barrels ,when we deport you again you will start screaming like pigs
Till this day, even with murdering 3 million Igbos.
Destroying their land.
Diverting their resources.
Closing all their bank account and allowing some of them only #20.
Take a close look at urself and the igbos.
U are still threatening to collect their houses. Is that not funny?
Fun enough, igbos today build same houses in the city, that is driving u into rage, as village houses.
zendy: Igbos generally dont like Yorubas. However, the fact that an Igbo man does not like an ethnic group does not mean that the Igbo man cannot live amongst that ethnic group in peace and do things that are mutually beneficial with them. The Igbo mans mind is "business like",thats why he can live anywhere in the world.
But can the Igbo nation and the Yoruba nation come together to do anything? Not a chance!
Igbos and Yorubas are very different people and they dont understand each other. How a Yoruba man sees things is very different from how an Igbo man sees things. What made this even worse is that Igbos and Yorubas had little or no contact before the coming of the white man. The white man brought two strangers together hoping they would connect, doesnt always work out like that. But the two tribes are very civilised, thats why they havent killed each other yet
[/s]
Honestly, I am of the opinion that Yorubas hate Igbos.
They actually enjoy hating igbos.
It all comes down to envy and jealousy.
Igbo tend to marry one wife, struggle and succeed on the family front, business and generally seen to be progressive even in foreign land.
Now their host with more than one wife and a battalion children, just keep sinking and they take one step forward only to take ten backwards.
So they just decide to hate the foreigner that appears better off than them.
Remimadrid: Shut up mister man, that is ur own opinion. Igbo's don't hate Yoruba, evident by the high number of inter-tribal between the two tribes. Am a Yoruba boy, but I have more Igbo friends than Yoruba friends, and all my babes are Igbo girls.
BiafraIShere: Hate and bigotry coupled with crab mentality is what made Nigeria a sh!thole! United States built on the strength of all its tribes and races, and that was what made it the greatest nation on earth today! The Jews were allowed to control certain sectors of the economy, the blacks controlled the music and some sports ditto others that were allowed to give their best and the country was the better for it, but what do we have here? Envy and primitive tribalism, if an Igbo is competent to man a position or to control a sector, then he must be under an abo.ki regardless of whether the abo.ki is as dumb as buhari, then tell me how such a place won't have ended up as a sh!thole? Would China or America call a man who is incompetent from the North to come and control a position when there is a better person from the South? The world won't wait for us, they will continue to advance while we continue to discuss cattle colony, potholes on Lagos-Ibadan expway, no power supply, bunkering, herdsmen killings, ethno-religious crises, almajiris, militancy, Boko Haram, suicide bombings etc. I was writing a report on the development going on in Dubai and Abu Dhabi right now and I was shocked at how far these people have gone! What is support being given to people like Innoson that could help reposition the country through technology? Rather support is being given to savage herdsmen! Nigeria is cursed, and the earlier the citizens of the sh!thole realize that, the better for us all.
They wonder y the Igbo man want a separate country.
They will keep wondering, like Alice in Wonderland.
Slavery beckons in Libya for those that escape the herdsmen.
BiafraIShere: This picture justifies the reason why this sh!thole should, would & must be broken up. I bet you with buhari's blokos that Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, even China, India, South Korea wasn't more developed than what was shown in that video but where are they today and where are we today? Dubai was even a desert wasteland then, but now all these countries have transformed into great countries in all ramifications while we have remained stuck or even going backwards! The same way the fulanis were herding cattle in the picture is still the same way they are doing it today except that they now use AK47 as sticks to kill those that question them for any damage! If I have access to North Korea's nuclear weapons, God knows I will just nuke this sh!thole immediately!! For those that keep hoping that Nigeria will get better, I have one thing to tell you, YOU ARE DUMB & HOPELESS!!! NIGERIA WILL ONLY BE WORSE IN 20 YEARS TIME!!! What was shown in that pic twas vestiges of what the British left behind and that video showed that competence was the watch-word before Igbos were sacked en mass, the abo.kis then smuggled in federal character and nepotism, and even deliberate state sanctioned policies that will retard the growth of the country so that abo.kis can pace!!! God please scatter this country with immediate effect!!!
The next best thing to the white man is the igbo man but will the monkeys allow him?
No!
Even the things he put together in his land they want to tear it apart. i.e innoson
Had they not gone on igbo killing rampage carefully set up by the imperialist.
Those machinery and industry would have been sustained.
But no, the looters and vultures went about murdering 3 million people with the technological ability to keep the industry going.
soon after that naira collapse and since then, the country have continued to sink, even with oil and gas.
Efewestern: The argument wasn't necessary, Urhobo and isoko dont bear anything like that, that's pure yoruboid name, itsekiri might bear something similar but definitely not urhobo/isoko .
We are learning everyday thou.
[/s]
Ur tribe is not relevant stop this futile attempt at promoting ur littleness!
we cant even see u so i have to keep highlighting so they can see u.
Efewestern: Lol.. be like you they vex this afternoon o.. where Sanchez01 , come and carry your wife.
back to the questions, "Fikayo" sounds yoruba, i can't really find any urhobo meaning to it.
If you know someone bearing the name you can also spell out the full name so I go give the real meaning.. but Fikayo doesn't has not root in edoid language.
Bitterleafsoup: People are finally getting it. We are all from the human race. Mixing culture and ethnicity brings excitement to the marriage.
Learning and accepting each others culture can be a challege, but life is boring without challenges. Plus bi-lingual children have higher intelligence studies show. Happy married life!
U know see say na only seven people like all that gibberish ur writing.
Complete trash! Intelliegence is now based on mixed breeding.
Guy, even the bible dont support that. Let us stick to our separate culture, learn and respect each other.
olasco18: igbo guyx wit stupidity are lik 5 and 6....intead of u to wish dem d best u ar busy commentin rubbish frm ur leaking brain....say no to tribalism
We dont want your yoruba women in our backyard.
This is a one off and let use this opportunity to warn those Osu about not bring their Afonja people to Alaigbio.
