Xander85: The day there's no doubt about Port Harcourts Igbo identity is the day i'll start investing some emotional capital in it like i do with cities like Enugu, Abakaliki and Onitsha!
NICE ONE, IGBO IS IGBO NO MATTER FROM WHERE.
POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION AND PROGRESS OF IGBO LAND IS WAT WE ALL WANT AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
Xander85: I don't normally humour otimpkus like you (together with all your multiple monikers), but i'll respond to your post just this once!
See how you're quick to absolve the Obiano admin' of any iota of blame! That says a lot about who/what you are and your intentions on this forum! You say the video was 'not shot today' abi? So when was it shot (it's the first time i'm seeing it) and if you want us to believe the problem has been tackled, where is the follow-up video of the exact same spot showing a cleaned-up environment? Or you want us to take your word for it just 'cause the otimpku-in-chief lasgidiowner has spoken?
Fact of the matter is that if the gov't was working as it should, that heap of refuse shouldn't have built up in the first place! If, as you would want us to believe, it's a gov't agencys' dereliction of duty that brought about this embarrassment and health-hazard and that Obiano (whose desk is the last stop for the buck) shouldn't be blamed for it, pray tell, has he sacked anyone for this? If so, who?
I'm posting this rubbish (literally rubbish) on here, not minding whose ox is gored because we need to hold gov't accountable for all their actions and in-actions! Otimpkus like you do Anambra in particular and Alaigbo in general more harm than good!
If by posting this, it gives Igbo haters ammunition to use in mocking us, then tough....so be it! I care more about the welfare of Ndigbo and the environmental situation of Alaigbo more than putting up a false front just to score brownie-points in the ongoing senseless dick-measuring contest some of you peeps like engaging in with others!
Was watching the news yesterday, and there was a report on the launch of the one-person-four-trees campaign in Abuja! The reporter said that commercial cities in Nigeria like Kano, Port Harcourt, Lagos and Onitsha in 2016 had the worst air pollution in Africa! Doesn't this bother you and Obiano that Onitsha was listed? I'm aware that the Nigeria political-economy as presently set up is unfair and unfavourable to a huge commercial city like Onitsha that gets not enough attention from the federal gov't in relation to its size and importance, but what has the Obiano admin' done to mitigate some of these environmental challenges? Has a adequate, aggressive and sustainable refuse disposal and management system been put in place for Onitsha? Has there been a concerted effort to fill up Onitsha with trees that will help mop up the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? If so, care to share the links or youtube videos to support your assertion?
The only areas the Obiano admin' has done relatively well is in agriculture, security (the Ozubulu massacre largely lowered his points on security in the state), and to some extent the aku-luo-uno initiative! Other areas like reticulated water supply, guaranteed gas-powered electricity supply to industrial clusters, urban renewal and real-estate development and plugging of loopholes in IGR collection.....in these areas and more, the gov't is yet to pull its socks up and deliver as expected!
The Obiano admin has about two more years left to finish its second term! Where is the Dubai and 2 billion dollar airport he promise Ndi Anambra? I hope he supports either Soludo or Chidoka to replace him, as Anambra needs a bit of cerebral, out-of-the-box thinking to help it achieve its full potential! Right now it's not firing on all cylinders, no matter how much you, your other multiple monikers and your fellow otimpkus would want us to believe otherwise!
DONT WASTE UR TIME ON ALL THESE AFONJA INVADING THIS THREAD.
THEY MONITOR US AND WEN THEY READ US ADDRESSING ISSUES THAT CONCERN US, THEY WANT TO SCATTER THE THREAD.
BuhariAdvocate: Well for the sake of equity Apc should give position of majority leader to southeast just for the peace to reign although they don't deserve it but for the sake of equity apc should consider that. God bless the federal Republic of Nigeria God bless president Buhari Long life APC.

kindness44: there is no place in the Bible that mentioned payment of bride prize, it is man-made not biblical. there is different between diary & bride price.
AFONJA GO AND CONTINUE MARRYING YOUR WOMEN FOR FREE.
AND WOMEN LIKE TONTO DIKEH THAT PAY THEIR OWN BRIDE PRICE AND LATER SHAMELESSLY, CRY ON YOUTUBE ABOUT IT.
Ryan03: Lol, you make sense o but that is the tradition, nor be me put am. I think it is the money paid that binds them in the traditional setting so once the money is returned, the lady is free
EHN, THAT ONE NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED.
NO WOMAN WANT TO LEAVE HER MARRIAGE, UNLESS SHE IS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY OR ABUSE.
WE NEED CUSTOMARY COURT TO SERVE CERTIFICATE OF ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE INSTEAD OF REFUNDING THE MONEY.
Pinuc: Talking about bride price, some communities does not collect the so called bride price but you have a long list of items to buy, at the end of the day, you are the one who will entertain your visitors on the day of traditional marriage which will take place in the family home of the bride which most time makes the marriage exorbitant. Looking at the whole arrangement, you will see that, marriage and process of marrying in Africa should be revisited and redefined. The truth remains that the man will always be the head of the union whether their is price or not. All I will suggest is that the cost of marriage should be brought down to the barest minimum where everyone who wants to marry can do so conveniently. In that case, it will be a win win situation for all. Even in Europe and America where there is nothing like bride price, the man is still the head of the union but respects his wife. Remember also, that these countries have laws that protects the woman from being cheated or molested.

IF U ARE NOT READY FOR THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH MARRIAGE, DONT GO THERE.
YORUBA NEED ODUDUWA REPUBLIC, BECOS IN THAT COUNTRY, I WILL HAPPILY COME AND MARRY UR WOMEN AND EXPECT HER TO SHOULDER THE MARRIAGE EXPENSES, AFTER ALL, I AM DOING HER A FAVOR BY MARRYING HER, THEN GO AND MARRY ANOTHER ONE LATER.
IF WE LOOK AT NIGERIA TODAY, BRIDE PRICE IS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED A PROBLEM, YET THAT IS THE ONLY PROBLEM YORUBA MEN HAVE, NOT THAT IT IS THEIR CULTURAL REQUIREMENT OOoo.
NOT HERDSMEN KILLING, NOT POVERTY, NOT PEDOPHILIA, NOT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, NOT UNEMPLOYMENT, NOT INFRASTRUCTURE DECAY, NOT POOR PROVISION OF MEDICAL FACILITIES, DILAPIDATED EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, NOT POOR EDUCATION SYSTEM, AND STANDARD, POOR HEALTHCARE PROVISIONS, NOT LACK OF BASIC AMENITIES PROVISIONS, NOT CHILD FORCED MARRIAGE ISLAMISATION OR KIDNAP, NO.
I SAY IT WITHOUT MISSING WORDS, THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS YORUBA MISDIRECTION OF THE AFFAIRS OF NIGERIA VIA CONTROL AND PROPAGANDA THROUGH NIGERIA MEDIA AIRWAYS.
THEY DID NOT BEG FEMI GBAJABIAMILA TO STEP DOWN FROM SPEAKER, SINCE OSINBANJO IS ALREADY VP AND BUKOLA WAS THE LAST SENATE PRESIDENT, PLUS YORUBA PRODUCED THE LAST DEPUTY SPEAKER OF REPS ALL TOGETHER.
IT IS IGBO THAT WILL GIVE UP DEPUTY SENATE PRESIDENT FOR DEM.
