Just watched a news report on the tanker fire at Upper Iweka yesterday, and some of the victims and traders who were interviewed were lamenting on the poor condition of the road, saying its responsible for many previous accidents in the area! Thankfully no life was lost!

Fixing up that Upper Iweka (road, sanitation and aesthetics) should be one of the top priorities of the incoming Soludo administration!

is because of monopoly but if is dangote now your to people will shouting up and down as if he is the cause of their poverty

Shut up!

Tell us how Air Peace was ‘favoured’ or given preferential treatment over and above other airlines in the country!? I can tell you how Dangote was favoured....with easy access to FOREX, loans, sugar importation licenses and exemptions from the border closure that was biting everyone else! Wasn’t he the one that was challenging Ibetos’ court win few years back because he couldn’t handle any nyamuree competing with him in the cement business!? It was Yar’Adua that was fair minded enough to finally implement the courts ruling on Ibetos’ win.

More to the point....he should mind his business!

babasolution:
Southerners need to wake up,their evil leaders have sold them out for generations, if the oil and gas was found in the north,southerners will never ever,I repeat never ever benefit from it,they only will maybe if they agree to be converted to Islam. This is the truth,the northerners will hold on tightly to their oil.The south are the most stupid people in all generations on earth,their descedants will marvel how stupid their parents were.The satanic cheating that are being done to the south,is one of the greatest deception and evil on earth,all the south gets is soot,gas flaring environmental degradation. The south are the most FOOLISH people on earth

So Baba, what’s the solution!?

If oyel and gas was domiciled in the core north, it would have been curtains for this ‘one Nigeria’ experiment decades ago!

After they’ve declared their ARABA (i think that’s what they called their initial attempt at secession).....told the south to go fck ourselves in our own country, and slammed the door in our faces, we may knock on the closed door to try and negotiate some sort of ‘compromise’ with the oyel rich north. But the north will again slam the door in our faces....this time even harder, and with the warning that we shouldn’t disturb them again or we’ll feel the sharp end of their dagger in our guts!

Wouldn’t surprise me! But where are they getting all the money they’re spending on rent-a-crowd? It had better be from from their APC ‘crowd mobilisation’ contingency fund!

Steinmann:
I thought dokubo was sensible. I see senselessness and Fulani in him

To curry favour from the muslim core north and the Tinubu/APC part of the Yoruba, all you have to do is be as anti-Igbo and/or anti-IPOB/Kanu as possible....and bobs your uncle! It’s a tried and tested technique perfected by Wike, Igbokwe, Uzodinma, etc!

IF CNN, A REPUTABLE INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION WITH RESEARCH SPECIALIST REFERS TO INNOSON AS A CAR MANUFACTURER, THEN YOU, WHO MAY NOT EVEN OWN A CAR OR UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF MANUFACTURING OR ENGINEERING WILL BE SPEAKING ON TOPICS YOU ARE CLEARLY IGNORANT ABOUT.

ANYWAYS,LOSERS ARE KNOWN TO ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH COMPREHENDING OTHER PEOPLE'S SUCCESS

Hehehehehe

That dig suppose hurt...it was below the belt!

Any update on the court judgement on the disputed oil wells? Wasn't judgement delivered about a week ago?

I have to admit, Owerri is the city in the south-east....and possibly the entire southern Nigeria with the exception of Lagos, that has the most number of exquisite and eye-ctaching mansions and duplexes. But what lets the city down is the lack of....or poor state of the inner-city roads. Though i've noticed the effort the present state gov't is making in road construction in Owerri (makes you wonder exactly which roads Rochas built during his 8 year tenure)!

Take a look at the nice houses in this new estate. This should be the 3rd highbrow estate in Owerri i'm showcasing on this thread...previously was Udenwa estate and one other one i can't remember the name now. Of the 3, only Udenwa estate has a half-decent road network while this one i'm attaching on this post has the absolute worst.

Is it possible that, in future, the Imo state gov't could borrow a leaf from the way Awka Millenium City is doing theirs, by first constructing the inner road network and providing other services like electricity, water pipes and cabling, before the construction of houses by plot owners begins.

The architecture of some of these mansions, and even their walls and gates, are so top notch.

This one Asphalt has started scraping already, soon it will collapse before commissioning.

Good to see the pedestrian side walk is being considered, but one would've think it's supposed to cover th drainage.

This open gutter thing is not only a national problem, but a national disgrace as well! More than 60 years after the British colonialists left, we still can't construct major and inner-city streets without underground drainages, sidewalks and plant trees! Even if the drainage system would be surface gutters, why can't they cover them up?

Reno is spot on!

Biodun556:
Most of the countries you mentioned practice unitary system. Federal system is even better of.

That may be true...esp' of Singapore, but the main thrust of my post was trying highlight how we've been stuck in a rut.....been operating the same centralised political-economy since the 70s! Ordinarily, a country that claims to be a federation has no business operating a feeding-bottle economy where the federating units go cap-in-hand every month to the centre for allocation! Basically, in the Nigerian 'federated' union, the tail is wagging the dog!

JOemmy:
What does been landlocked have to do with this topic? Switzerland, Rwanda and many other countries are landlocked yet are far ahead of nigeria in almost everything but nigeria with all the access to seas and oceans including natural resources is still ranked as the poverty capital of the whole world what a shame.

Igbos' don't realize the intensity of the evil and jealousy facing them in Nigeria! Some may read that fools mindless post and think nothing of it, but it actually shows the evil intent and wishes they have for us! We look at all our region lacks, esp' in relation to the north-west and south-west.....how Igboland has been intentinally shrunk in size since colonial times.....how we've fared in national politics since the 70s in relation to the other two major ethnic grps....we look at all this and think it just happened like that!?

How can someone wake up in the morning, open this thread and immediately start thinking and salivating over the (erroneous) impression that Igboland is 'landlocked' if said person isn't full of wickedness and envy!? What has landlocked or no landlocked got to do with this thread!?

'Fellow Nigerian compatriot' my black ass!

All this sharing of allocation to the federarting units by the centre is so annoying and the major reason why Nigeria can NEVER compete with innovative, progressive and forward-thinking countries like Singapore, South-Korea, UAE, Rwanda and Israel! All these countries have been evolving and reinventing themselves, while Nigeria is still stuck in the 70s!

Noticed few more things being done from the video: Installation of the lifts and escalators are almost done; looks like they've started partitioning upstairs (from 17secs) probably for shops; and i noticed massive LCD screens have been hung up (saw two...one at 5.45 and another bigger one downstairs at 5.49), probably for the flight status board or for information and adverts.

But the best news is all the technical stuff the governor mentioned that makes the airport stand head and shoulders above its peers in the country. He talked of the lighting to be switched on soon, so i hope this means the airport can operate both night and day time flights. Full categorisation will come with the arrival of the firetrucks. Also, would be nice to have one or two international flights when full categorisation is attained....say to Europe, US or East Asia.

I hope they have maximum security at the airport with irregular patrols around the airport perimeter fencing, as there's a lot of expensive and sensitive equipment out in the open. There's a lot of jealousy in this country, so they need to secure the airport very well.

Hehehehehe

This is one 'achievement' they don't want, and so they're sharply passing the buck....batting the blame over to the long suffering and impoverished Nigerian masses!

But come to think of it.....isn't it gov't owned/controlled bodies like the civil service, NNPC, customs, army, DSS, olopa, etc, that are largely responsible for this poor corruption perception index? Who controls and appoints the heads of these bodies?

Golan007:
Na so him face be from time.

Hehehehehe

He probably popped outta da womb looking like old roger....all wrinkled and with a scowl on his face!

I wonder why the typical African woman always find it hard to maintain their body shape once they start swimming in money....

That’s so the african attire can hang well for body! Just kidding!

CUMIN:
Then you guys should relocate back there to decongest Lagos. We're tired of you.

You need to zip you mouth with this your sense of entitlement to Lagos! We talking of the same Lagos that’s the commercial and industrial capital of Nigeria, which ALL Nigerians...and a large portion of resources from Igboland contributed to its development!? What’s your own state, and when are you gonna relocate back there yourself!?

You have two options that could see to the exit of Igbos from ‘your Lagos’: you can either actively support the IPOB/Biafra bid for secession; or you can actively support a TOTAL and UNAMBIGUOUS restructuring of the polity and political-economy back to pre ‘66 settings! Outside of these two options, i’m afraid you just have to continue sharing Lagos with Igbos’

Kurumaru:
Rate at which Nigerians and Africans kill and eat snakes especially this specie; very soon they(pythons) will be extinct.

It’s very worrying! And these pythons are the least dangerous to humans.

As much as i can’t stand the sight of snakes, pythons are majestic creatures and it would be a shame if they went extinct in West Africa....because i doubt this is just a Nigerian problem.

These shots don’t do the village justice!

After watching a YouTube video few months back of a drive through in Neni villa’, i was mightily impressed with the modest achievements shown with their road network. They’ve done up not just the major roads, but also those in the interior ime-ogbe! Not only that, but the roads and gutters were clean and devoid of a build-up of sediment/sand and rubbish! This equally led me to declare the villa’ as the neatest in Igboland....and that’s quite some achievement seeing as we have the likes of Abiriba and Oguta in contention!

Shit just got real!

kingjiss:
You have shown the world how stupid and foolish you are

Quit talking to youself in the mirror fool!

You're absolutely bereft of any capacity to reason beyond the usual nairaland tribalistic insults....a total waste of space and fees paid for your schooling! Fcking weasel!

kingjiss:
What Mazi Kanu did in London before IPOB, pray, how is that any of your fcking business!?

A foolish member of an organization that doesn't have the data of his leader ....If he's not a fraudster tell the world what he does for a living before becoming your leader and also tell us where he's office is located in London

If you can vouch for him ,vouch with your life or the lives of your family? If you do this I will know how honest you are

See how you go about making wild and unsubstantiated claims? Overlooking the 'foolish' jab, who told you i'm a member of IPOB? You think just because i don't let you hateful schmucks get away with abusing Igbos', Mazi Kanu and IPOB, then that automatically means i'm a IPOB member!?

Dude, like i said earlier, had Mazi Kanu been in to criminality in the UK before IPOB was formed, you Igbo-hating bigots (that can go to any length to try and silence him) would have sniffed it out by now!

And just to reiterate.....i can vouch that Mazi Kanu hasn't enriched himself or stained his hands with the blood of innocents! Which is more than can be said for the imbecilic Nigerian political gods you worship! I think it's a bit rich that you....who's been as evasive and slippery as a eel for the entire duration of our debate, is now bestowing on yourself the power to declare me honest or otherwise! Like, dude.....seriously!? You have an over-bloated opinion of yourself, and this is quite ironic seeing as you're as empty as the proverbial empty vessel that makes the loudest noise!

SLAP44:
His mates in the North are still pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars

Can see you're trying your utmost to tribalise this thread!

Udele ozó is here to yaba his state too breed from uncircumcised parents Udele bad meat

He probably took a wrong turn and mistakenly found himself here! Can’t stand the fella!

Penguin2:
When has the Wawa expressed hatred towards Anambra?

If in 2021 you still have the mentality of the Anambra people of 1920s then you are what I wouldn’t mention on Nairaland.

If you are put side by side with Ndi wawa I hope you can stand.

Ignore him! He’s just seeking to stoke the embers of division and hate on a thread that doesn’t call for it in any way!

slivertongue:
If Anambra were to be a country. It will surely be better organized than Nigeria.

True! You get that same feeling with other states like Akwa Ibom and Umahis’ Ebonyi!

kingjiss:
Kanu made a grave error of judgement in deciding to travel to Kenya...He did because he wants everything for himself.. Everyone working with him is evil ,that what he always claim saint kanu..Want to be the striker, midfielder and goal keeper ...A leader with no good fellowers.What does that tell you ? That you guys are messed up ,no unity no trust what a shame

An igbo man is greed in nature ..A freedom fighter wearing a dress worth millions.. Spending other peoples hard earned money in the name that Biafra will come chia

Come to think of it ,I want to ask you what was your foolish kanu doing in London before he start this his fraudulent Biafra business ? He didn't have a job no business

Igbos are just dump ,really dump

Looks like i’m dealing with a intellectual midget as well as a evasive r’etard!

Dude, what part of ‘leader of IPOB’ don’t you understand!? He’s the leader of the secessionist group, so if not him then just who TF do you think will be going out to seek support for the cause!? Nobody was harangued into joining IPOB, so if the organisations way of doing things and chain-of-command didn’t suit any aggrieved individual, they were perfectly free to go form their own or ‘port to another secessionist body!

There you go again, trying to be evasive and diversionary by bringing up new and irrelevant rubbish that have nothing to do with the issue at hand! What Mazi Kanu did in London before IPOB, pray, how is that any of your fcking business!? Had he been a criminal before IPOB, i’m sure you miserable louts would have dug up his ‘criminal’ past by now! The much i can vouch for is that Mazi Kanu hasn’t enriched himself or stained his hands with the blood of innocents like some of the greedy and bigoted Nigerian political gods you worship!

Assuming, without conceding, we go along with your daft and unfounded premise that Mazi Kanu is a ‘fraudster’, it then begs the question: dude, is it your fraud....are you Igbo or a member of IPOB!?

You posit that ‘a Igbo man is greedy by nature’, and yet again i ask: what’s your own ethnicity!? Just so we can have an example of a exemplary and upstanding ethnicity to point to! Also, how did you come about this ‘finding’ of yours...that Igbos are ‘naughty by nature’!?

kingjiss:
B

I see your parents foolishness and stupidity in you..The shit hole you call Nigeria is where you and your foolish parents live ,You idiots still use their money , passports and banks and you have mouth to talk ...Shame on you ..The zoo you call Nigeria is where your foolish master is caged like the dog

Making mouth without back up..Was picked up like fowl in the potlery lol what a shame ...Where is israel ? Call them to come help you fools to release your dog master and give you your county

He lambasted world leaders such as Barack Obama, David Cameron, Tony Blair, for installing the present administration.

Foolish igbos like you always complain about buhari ,Do you fools like yourselves? You goats love money more than your brother,Can kill and betray your brothers what a shame

You idiots lost the civil war because you fools betrayed yourselves,what a shame and you idiot have mouth to talk chaiii

Now he's asking for help from this country ,you and your silly master are born fools and will always be

Mazi Kanu -as imperfect as he is- has more wisdom and honesty in a single finger of his than all you retarded ‘one Nigerianists’ could ever have in a thousand lifetimes! Don’t take my word for it...just take a look at the once promising country you nasty, miserable lot have had hegemonic and oligarchic control over these past 50+ years! Just look at the utter mess you greedy, power-hungry jihadist scumbags have bequeathed to the present youth and future generations! Even as we speak, you’ve not had enough of messing up the country and still wanna have another go in 2023!

I suspect you’re most likely from the muslim core north (less likely, Yoruba) as it’s usually you lot that obsess about Mazi Kanu and IPOB, and always get a boner as the very thought of Igbos’ and the agitation for secession being ‘contained’! But let’s just confirm from you, as i take it you’re as proud of your ethnicity as i am of mine! So i ask: what’s your own ethnicity? You’ve gone on to accuse Ndigbo of....as you put it, ‘not loving ourselves...loving money more than ourselves....and killing/betraying our brothers’! So i’m guessing Ndigbo have a thing or two we can learn from your own ethnic grp about how to be brotherly, morally upright and averse to money!

I asked you to cite instances when Mazi Kanu ‘insulted’ other countries, and all you could come up with is that ‘he lambasted Obama, Cameron and Blair for installing Buhari’! It may not have transpired as you say, but assuming, without conceding, that he did ‘lambast’ these three individuals for helping to install the resident evil in Aso Rock, i doubt there’s any neutral Nigerian (ie- not actively supporting Buhari/APC or Kanu/IPOB) that wouldn’t agree with him and wanna buy him a drink! These leaders would have had intelligence reports on the threat islamofacism and jihadist-inspired terrorism posed to Nigeria and the West African region...if they did their homework before either supporting him or deciding to sit-in-the-fence, they’d have been aware of his past remark that ‘an attack on boko haram is an attack on the north’ and the one he said ‘we’re committed to the spread of sharia’! So if this pathetic ‘proof’ is the smoking gun that shows Mazi Kanu was ‘disrespectful’ to other countries, then you have no point here mate!

Mazi Kanu made a grave error of judgement in deciding to travel to Kenya...or indeed ANY African, Arab or East Asia country where the rule of law and respect for human rights are observed more in the breach than in adherence! Uhuru Kenyatta has form in illegally handing over fleeing gov’t dissidents back to the oppressive regimes they were fleeing from, and Mazi Kanu should have done his homework before deciding to travel to Kenya! For Kenyatta to agree to this illegality, i’m sure Nigeria has given up something costly in return! I’m sure Mazi Kanu knew the enormity of the evil he was confronting in trying to free his people from the shackles of ‘one Nigeria’ and its ruling Fulani hegemony, so your weakass attempts at trying to mock him for being the victim of an abduction plot in which the despot Buhari went against all known international extradition laws and treaties....all that is DOA!

Dude, looks like your so called ‘victory’ turned out to be a pyrrhic one! I mean, just take a look at Nigeria today....a country that once held so much promise, but is now derided and the butt of all jokes! Countries like UAE, Singapore South Korea, and yes....even Rwanda (Rwanda that similarly once fought a brutal civil war) are all looking down on us! But i suppose that doesn’t bother you so long as you feel you ‘defeated’ Biafra in war! The fact you had to resort to using murderous Arab pilots to strafe Biafran schools, farms and markets...plus the fact you couldn’t defeat the Biafran soldiers on the battlefield, but had to resort to mounting a food blockade, and as a consequence, gave out the Bakassi peninsular to secure the cooperation of Cameroon’s’ Ahmadu Ahidjo (yet again another costly example of Nigeria having to give up a lot to hold on to Igbos’ and ‘subdue’ the Biafran bid for freedom).....all this means nothing to your shameless self!

Pray, if Biafra was ‘defeated’ as you stupidly brag then just WTF is your murderous army still doing all over the south-east...spending billions of naira in the name of all sorts of useless animal-themed dances and wasting innocent lives in the process!? Not only could you not manage the Biafran question, but you’ve now gone ahead to spark even more conflicts and agitations for secession from other parts of Nigeria!! Way to go mate!

Christistruth02:
The British also Created Azikiwe and Ojukwu's Eastern Region that gave them control of the Ijaw, Efik and
all the other non Igbo areas that Ojukwu went to War over and tried to hold on to as if his life depended on it

During the series of constitutional talks held in London in the 50s, in preparation for ‘independence’, can you refer us to links showing where any of the other ethnicities in the then Eastern Region tabled a request for a separate region from the Igbo?

Ikemba didn’t ‘go to war to hold on to none Igbo areas’! The ethnicities of the then Eastern Region decided to pull out of ‘one Nigeria’ when it became all to apparent that their safety could no more be guaranteed by the then Gowon military gov’t! Pick up a book and read you fcking m0r0n!
