If otti can’t beat David umahi records of ebonyi

Building several world class projects then Nigeria youth are just being emotional about support

Not necessarily world-class. Put the basic things all round the state. Umahi is clueless. Construction is not the yardstick to measure good governance

paramakina202:
Sharap if you are not from Abia state.
Is no more the kerosene governor?

Suddenly, yorubas now love him. Lol

nedu666:
Ikpeazu as your name represents means you will always carry last. For 7 years and 5 months, you did not employ people, owed salaries and pensions. Then suddenly in January 2023 you realised that you need employ 10,000 persons. When was these jobs advertised, when was test and interview done. How come you realised towards the end of your tenure that there are vacancies that need to be filled. The truth is that you employed those people out of malice and intent to sabotage otti.

Abia no be Lagos

Afamed:
All eyes on Alex Otti. He must perform miracles and wonders

Nobody is talking about miracles and wonders. Just perform better than your predecessor. Unlike the clueless people you support at the center who are always worse than people before them

izonborn098:
And u said otti is a saint

Who is talking about saint? Like I said before, you are very CORNfused

LegendHero:
What is Abia building? Show us.

What? Have you not been following recent events? Feed your eyes on this thread. Pictures no gree upload
https://www.nairaland.com/5939661/abia-state-development-thread-pictures/61

We are back to smash agbado head after small break to allow them gloat over their criminal state capture. Make nobody cry of hate as we progress

LegendHero:
So that is what he did?

Even for Kano bulldozer dey roll too. Even Wike that is just a few weeks old is rolling bulldozer in FCT.

No be to enter the bulldozer, then start the engine and roar it?

Kano and FCT are destroying. Abia is building

izonborn098:
tinubu can't blame buhari because he support him, then what give otti the right to blame ikpeazu when he didn't even support him...
That means peter obi would have blame buhari because he didn't support him' can u listen to urself.... And u said he is the messiah...

Omo. You are CORNfused

LegendHero:
Can you show us the inner street transformed by the governor? Except maybe I’m wrong. The only thing I saw is one of those less than 1km of road he built with the gutter photo .

Maybe they are more than what I saw shar. Coz even a local government council chairman won’t brag with that road I saw let alone a governor.

Otti's bulldozer are roaring all over Abia. This is why you should uninstall the structure of corruption from your state

izonborn098:
asking that question alone shows u are so bias....

Tinubu can't blame Buhari that he supported for 8years. Unlike Otti who fought PDP and defeated them after being robbed twice

LegendHero:
Is it not the same governor that built ordinary gutter and less than 100m of cement filling that his minions are celebrating the other time?


I don’t believe this one. How can one sack 10,000 workers just like that? What is Abia state workforce count and what percentage is that 10,000 workers which was alleged to be the number of ghost workers according to this report.

Those are PDP stomach infrastructure boys draining Abia purse. If another party win Lagos you will understand

LegendHero:
Is it not the same governor that built ordinary gutter and less than 100m of cement filling that his minions are celebrating the other time?

The governor is transforming all inner streets in Aba. We are yet to see anything from other governors

izonborn098:
In their eyes it's acceptable for there only governor to blame ikpeazu but jagaban can't blame buhari, selfish set of people...

We have Otti's projects. None from Jagaban yet. Secondly Jagaban and Buhari are from same party

tollyboy5:
I think this IBEDC are the ones supplying Akure in Ondo state. They're worst.

Ibadan and Benin are not doing well according to reports. Lagos and Enugu disco are leading

Normal thing always throughout EEDC catchment areas.

Racoon:
And what that also responsible for the 1954 gruesome killings of Igbos in Zaria, Jos? Keep on glorifying the killers and have retrograde amnesia of who commit what atrocities in the history of this failed contraption which have never made any meaningful progress even after their warped exclusion from the politico-military affairs of this nation.

Yorubas were greatest casualties of 2011 post election violence by Buhari supporters, they still licked Buhari ass and keep pointing at Igbos in everything

aremubabs:
Nothing would have happened even if Obi had said anything.




What happened when Nnamdi Kanu's home was ransacked and his whereabouts unknown for a long while?




He was later bundled into Nigeria and his followers sacrificed him for the presidential ambition of Peter Obi.




One thing I have noticed about the Igbos is chest-beating. Never let an Igbo man encourage you to do something unlawful because he would abandon you as soon as trouble comes.




However, on the contrary, if Obi had won the election, there would have been a civil war because the Igbos are never magnanimous in victory.





We saw it during the 1966 January coup. How the Igbos in Kano went about referring to the highly revered Ahmadu Bello as a bleating goat. The Kano indigenes were so angry that they began to slaughter the Igbos and to destroy their shops.





Supposing Obi had won, the Igbos would have gone ahead to mock other tribes even in these people's lands.

But you can mock Igbos abi? Note that even your so called victory won't save you from our hands. After few days, reality will dawn on you and we will continue from where we stopped

Pakute:
Those nattering nitwits would have been threatening Sanwo Olu right now. I can't even imagine what they would have been doing to yorubas right now.

But you have been celebrating and calling us names and we don't care

Lol, you win you mock Igbos, Igbos keep quiet. But if igbos win and mock you then you start a war? Did Portable not release "obi is a boy" after election? What a very weak set of people

flokii:
This is the second time a true Yoruba son will defeat a Northerner in the North fair and square to win presidential election in Nigeria.. the first was in 1993, exactly 30yrs ago when M.K.O Abiola won. One scenario that played out in both is they didn't need Igbos support to win.
Yorubas know your friend and ally in Nigeria.. E get why.

Lesson I have learnt so far is that politics is won at the grassroots, not through unruly behaviour online or through propaganda.

Yes, through northern poverty ridden grassroots. We know very well. Just be a Muslim, join the northern backwards poverty ridden Islamic way of Life. Please yorubas can enjoy. Igbos will never do such. We bring a message of economic liberation for prosperity which Northern establishment hates. Ask yourself, why are the two yorubas you mentioned all muslims? Same primitive feudal warlord mentality that multiply poverty

JASONjnr:
You people are deranged......


If Obididients decided to make a protest against the judgement.... Same set of deranged people will come out to accuse them as being violent and committing treasons and so on.

We decided to be civil and you are being childish about it....


The day you will experience revolution, you won't even see your phone to type this rubbish...

All protest and violence so far is always from APC camp.

Mayhem exist only in your imagination. Only north and SW cause election violence

This is what we expected from PEPT

Reflect7:
NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU WOULD DO.

Other sensible people around the world glorify their history and ancestors except you brainwashed-to-self-loathe mentally colonised, self-hating buffoons in Nigeria, who believe yourselves to be inferior beings.

You're disgusting and an utter disgrace to the black race in the way you reason. Proudly proclaiming your inferiority.

I mean, who did this to you?

Both Umahi and Otti fixed inner streets through direct labour and local contractors. But some still uses Chinese and Lebanese and later gloat over fabricated fake history

Reflect7:
IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE TWO IMAGES OF ACTUAL PAVED ROADS I POSTED, THEN GO AND USE A PROPER COMPUTER IF YOU HAVE ONE, RATHER THAN THAT CHEAP PHONE.

It's not showing, post again

Reflect7:
STUPID DUNCE WITH NO BRAIN.

THE FIRST TWO IMAGES ARE OF REAL LIVE PAVED ROAD REMNANTS.

IFE HISTORY IS ACTUALLY SEPARATED INTO THE PRE-PAVEMENT AND POST-PAVEMENT ERAS BY HISTORIANS AND ARCHAEOLOGISTS.

STUPID ILLITERATE. DON'T RESEARCH YOUR OWN AFRICAN HISTORY, YOU HEAR?

SO YOU CAN KEEP FEELING INFERIOR.

MUMU.

I will rather work hard to achieve something today than spend time inventing ego massaging tales by moonlight.

Reflect7:
SHUT UP THERE, YOU DUNCE.

What is false?

I just posted images of the ancient paved roads of Ife which are still visible even today, unknown to your mumu empty head.

Why all the cursing? No paved road in your pictures. Meanwhile, it's a painting from imagination

Sizwezi:
In other words you believe BBC Igbo. Whichever suits you, no shakes.

Your comment is unnecessary. OP has clarified everything

Reflect7:
I am very happy you raised this history of paved roads in precolonial Nigeria.

We had our way of paving roads, and even courtyards which was by using raised broken potsherds. See below:

Ife Paved Roads dated 800 AD

The categories given to the distinct periods of ancient Ife’s artistic production center around the paving of the city’s courtyards and passageways with terracotta bricks sometime around 1000 A.D., marking the beginning of Ife’s Pavement period.

This practice is thought to be associated with the urbanization of Ife.

The origin of the pavement is explained in a popular story: according to Yoruba mythology, Queen Oluwo ordered the construction of the pavements when her robes were muddied in the dirt.

A centre of political and religious power, Ife has been a formidable city-state through much of the second millennium A.D. The flowering of Ife art coincided with the commercial expansion of the neighboring city-state of Oyo, a strategically placed trading centre, that channeled goods coming down the Niger River from the Songhai empire to Ife and other centers. The aesthetic style developed during the Pavement period of Ife art has been an ongoing influence in Yoruba sculptural styles since its inception. ...



Excerpt:

http://historum.com/middle-eastern-african-history/71640-potsherd-pavements-ile-ife.html

''Ile-Ife is the most ancient Yoruba city, and is still venerated today by the Yoruba as their main cultural and religious center. It's practically a holy city. You may know of Ile-Ife due to its highly sophisticated terracotta and bronze castings, but did you know that the city had a complex system of paved roads? Evidently, an oral tradition concerning the distinguished Yoruba ruler Ono Olowo, apparently she was walking around the capital when her regalia was splattered with mud. Very upset, the Queen ordered the construction of pavements around all of the public and religious places of Ife(courtyards, shrines), made of ceramic tiles from pots. A quote concerning how potsherd pavements are created:


How The Pavements Were Built

''The pathway or courtyard to be paved would be prepared by leveling the ground. The potsherds were then prepared by breaking them into pieces. The soil was then well-kneaded to make for a good sub-base providing the working platform. The soil base was mixed with residual water from the palm-oil industry and left to ferment for two to three days. In the absence of residual water from the palm-oil base, the soil was mixed with palm-oil. Where there was no palm-oil, the soil was left to ferment longer, say, one-week. Mixing the soil with palm-oil was done to provide uniform heating when the pavement was being "baked'.

After the base was prepared, the potsherds were then stuck into the prepared soil and then arranged into whatever design was desired, be it herringbone or straight-row design. The pavement was then left to dry out before being "baked". In the baking process, dry wood and shrubs were packed on top of the pavement and set on fire''''.

What concern courtyard with road? Meanwhile this is painting not real picture. Same Benin has been claiming all sorts of things with painting

Christistruth03:
Nigerians really need to develop their own indigenous Road building Technology

There was road building and Paving Technology in Ile Ife during the days of Luwo the Only female Ooni in the 15th Century because we were told she made them pave Ile Ife from top to bottom but the Technology seems to have been abandoned along the line

Traditional Rulers should be able to organize the locals to build roads even if it is only broken Rocks and Gravel that they use

Some Communities have waited for over 50 years for the Government to pave their roads and they are still waiting

Una don start again oo. Always making false historical claims
