Bishop42: I thought Enugu was building Mono rail?

biafrandream: My brother I have always thought the same way, but the issue of the airport being controlled by the federal govt. is purely for the purpose of economic strangulation of the south east. Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium was initially managed by the federal government but was later handed over to ENSG because it has little or no economic value. Why not the airport, because it will offend Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba slave masters. It will impact adversely on the revenue of the Lagos state govt.
Imagine what the airport would look like if Sulivan were to be in control of it's management, I bet, Mohammed intl airport Lagos would have been a joke compare to Enugu by now. Do you know that Enugu shoprite is the largest in Nigeria? This was confirmed by the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria when he visited Enugu.
Sokoto Caliphate has mandated Badluck Jonathan to make sure that no meaningful infrastructure is built in the south east or there will be an outright war. This is why a miniature project of a paltry sum of 13 billion is taking so long to complete. Even the 2015 deadline is to get Igbo votes as usual and unfortunately, the gullible Igbos who have accepted slavery as their destiny in Nigeria have fallen for the antics.
How long did it take Sullivan to build nike to Opi Nsukka road, the Shoprite shopping mall, the State secretariat, Zik Ave bridge and so on. These are mega projects that cost tens of billions of naira. Does it not bother us that the federal government with an annual budget of trillions of naira has not construct a single road in the south east. I mean a single road. Sullivan with a paltry budget of 3 billion naira has built hundreds of kilometers of roads in the state.
We Igbos must accept the fact that we have no place in Nigeria. We voted GEJ enmasse, the consequence is that we have suffered the second worst genocide after the civil as a result, yet GEJ cannot build common Enugu-Onitsha road for 6 years running.
If I have my way, I will gather all the Igbo efulefus who support GEJ and those who want to remain part of Nigeria, tie them to a tree shoot all of them.
You guys should wake up and accept that the so called Enugu Intl Airport is a huge joke, used by the imbecilic Ijaw man called Jonathan to curry Igbo votes.
Have you people realized that since Ethiopian airline started making a stop over at Kano that APC and some of their Igbo slaves no longer make an issue of it. Their goal have been achieved.
Biafara is our right and our hope!

TamzyTamudo: I keep wondering if the apapa port is the only seaport in nigeria not until I realized that we have also onne,porthacourt and warri sea ports etc. Now my questions are? 1)is the federal government so clueless that it doesn't notice apapa sea port is highly congested? 2)is nigeria cursed to remain a failure that it doesn't make effort to develop other sea ports e.g warri,onne,calabar etc which will bring development into this cities? 3)is the FG not aware of the potentials of this cities if their water ways for sea port is well dredged and developed which will open ways for containers to come in there by decongesting lagos? 4)don't the FG see how develop countries manage their costal cities and make them the economic power house but here in nigeria reverse is the case,they are only after lagos and abuja abandoning the niger-delta where the major player of the economy comes from? Now if the federal government can unlock the potential of this cities tell me how on earth lagos will keep having mass influx of people daily from other places most especially people from this places that needs this seaports so much,tell me how on earth the economy won't grow,tell me how other major and world class cities won't emerge,tell me how a new middle-class won't emerge. So sorry for nigeria and those people that has always drawing the country backward with different riots and insurgents,that would rather have power remain with them as born to rule people shall surely see the wrath of the almighty God. THERE WAS A COUNTRY

Many see Wasila Tasi'u as a victim: a 14-year-old girl from a poor, strictly Muslim family in northern Nigeria, who killed her 35-year-old husband using rat poison after a forced marriage.

But those closest to the case, including the girl's father, described her as a consenting, age-appropriate bride who dated Umar Sani and expressed a clear desire to marry him.

The trial, which is set to begin in the coming weeks, has thrown the spotlight on Nigeria's deep religious and cultural divides, especially the influence of Islamic law in the mainly Muslim north.

"To us, she is not a child. It is the norm here to marry off a girl at 14," said the dead groom's father, Sani Garba.

"We can't forgive her for this," the 55-year-old added.

According to police, Tasi'u confessed to putting poison in food she prepared for a party two weeks after her April wedding in Unguwar Yansoro, a remote village some 60 kilometres (37 miles) from Nigeria's second city of Kano.

She did so "because she was forced by her parents to marry a man she did not love", Kano state police spokesman Musa Magaji Majia told AFP.

Tasi'u has been charged with the murder of Sani and three others who ate the contaminated food.

Her lawyer Hussaina Aliyu said any admissions made by Tasi'u are inadmissable because she is a minor who was interrogated without a guardian or a lawyer present.

A judge rejected Aliyu's bid to have the case transferred from the High Court in the town of Gezawa to the juvenile system.

The defence lawyer insists the case is not a debate about the acceptability of child marriage in a Muslim society.

Instead, she has tried to focus her defence on the fact that a 14-year-old cannot be tried for murder as an adult in Nigeria.

The trial had been set to start on August 4 but a judicial staff strike caused a backlog in Gezawa and a new date has not been fixed.

- 'Not a forced marriage' -

Nigeria has no minimum marriage age but anyone under 21 who wants to marry must get parental consent.

Child marriage, rampant in the mainly Muslim north, is extremely rare in the predominantly Christian south.

To outsiders, the notion of a normal courtship between a girl of 14 and a 35-year-old man may seem abhorrent but Tasi'u's father said there was nothing abnormal about the lead-up to her wedding.

"My daughter was never forced into marriage. She chose Umar (Sani) from three suitors," said 50-year-old Tasui Mohammed.

He told AFP the couple began "dating" when Tasi'u was 13 but the family told Sani he had to wait until her 14th birthday before they could marry, in keeping with family tradition.

Tasi'u was the seventh of his daughters to marry at 14.

According to the custom of the region's dominant Hausa tribe, a girl notifies her father of her choice for marriage through an envoy, typically a close friend.

Mohammed said he learnt that Tasi'u had selected Sani through a friend named Fauziyya, who visited his sparse mud house to formally deliver the news.

Tasi'u then approached his daughter to make sure her decision was final.

"She gave me her word that this was her choice," he said.

Asked about his daughter's possible motives for the alleged murder, Mohammed said: "It is devastating and I don't know why she did it."

- Victim of a crime? -

Nigerian criminal law was shaped by British colonial-era measures and penal codes in the north and south vary slightly as the two regions were governed as separate colonies before 1914.

Both regions technically outlaw "carnal knowledge" of a minor but enforcing that measure is complicated in the north as police must strike a tricky balance with sharia, which some say permits sexual relations with minors.

Human rights lawyers, especially southern Christians, have called for the charges against Tasi'u to be dismissed, saying she should be rehabilitated as a victim and noting the possibility that she was raped by the man she married.

Underscoring the dramatically different viewpoints surrounding the case, a close friend of the poisoned Sani said Tasi'u must face severe punishment to dissuade other women from thinking her actions were acceptable.

"Four other women have tried to poison their husbands' food," Husseini Yansoro claimed.

"We believe they were encouraged by the legal support Wasila (Tasi'u) is getting and the rumours that... she will soon be freed."

AFP could not independently verify his claims about other poisonings in the area.

The uncle of the accused said those who are now paying attention to the case have no understanding of life in the cripplingly poor area.

"Our girls don't go to modern school because we don't have one, not even a primary school," the 44-year-old said.

"Once our girls reach the age of 14 we marry them off... What do we keep them at home for?"
