film3four: I don't need to go there to know that they have just 2 or 3 needless flyovers, if you doubt me, then post the pictures let's count it
If I upload all the 23 pictures of the flyovers both complete and uncompleted it will not be satisfied to a jealous doubting Thomas like you. As I said go to Ebonyi to see for yourself.
[quote author=film3four post=110662597]Liar. Ebonyi doesn't have more than 2 to 3 needless flyovers, if you doubt me show us pictures and stop lying to yourself
[/qu
why not you go to Ebonyi to find out instead of calling someone a liar. Just watch the video this is another one under construction and one of the tallest flyovers being built in Nigeria today. The best thing about what Umahi is doing is that he is using Nigerian Energeers majorities are Igbos.
Zoharariel: Write today’s date down. No Igbo man will rule Nigeria. They’re only wasting their time & resources.
If your wife is always threatening you with divorce, will you ever buy a house or property in her name?
If your wife is threatening you with a divorce, that proves you are a terrible husband and she has been working so hard to make the marriage work but you continued with your stupidity and you are the one trying so hard not to let the divorce happen, she cannot continue to waste her time with you and I'm 1000% sure she can buy for herself any type house she wants to live in.
Proudlyomonna: I wonder what you guys gain from peddling fake news. Yes the army are shameless and have in times without number faulted the rules of engagement unrepentantly,but this fake news!!! To what extent. What do you intend to gain??
What is fake about the news that the security agents did not carry out a raid or they did not burn the house?
Simplythebest: Come oooo the same Egbema of Ohaji Egbema LGA is not rivers state. Egbema has always been in ohaji infact the headquarter of Ohaji Egbema LGA Imo state is in Egbema. So what is rivers state dragging.
Yes, it is the same Egbema, what the Nigerian government did was, they went and divide them into the north and south because the south has more oil than the north they did that because they wanted to strip the southeast of resources to force them to abandon the agitation for Biafra. Obigbo, Etche, Obiakpor, Egbema will rather be in Imo and Abia state than in Rivers go and ask them that is the truth.
IT is a laudable achievement and nothing can take away that, but the train can not be operated at that speed, because the track was not for the speed and will operate at the normal speed of maybe 150/160.
freshkpomo: if this guns really belong to ESN, then those guys are joking.. na this one them want take fight herdsmen? Them go just die Sara. Na this kind gun you go shooting, him go catch fire for your hand or him go throw bullet from back go hit your eye lol.
I understand you are making a joke, but the truth is that Nigeria Amry is being economical with the truth they are displaying Guns and bullets but no one has looked closely that the bullets are not meant for the Guns on display, pump-action guns use shotshells and in that picture, there were only four shotshell bullets even the dumbest criminals will not purchase AK47 and go buy shotshell bullets. If they are ESN why try so hard to cover up.
adamsmith914: They got the Biafra flag from where?
Do you have a Biafra flag @ home?
The problem people like you have is that you lack intelligence, you are questioning where they get the Biafran flag? If you have a little brain you will notice something in the pictures, there were seven pump actions and three locally made guns in those pictures, and all use Shotshells but there were only four. Please ask yourself this question, how come there were so many bullets on display, but not a single gun can support those bullets?
Omicron007: This particular fruit makes me remember childhood. We had the tree in our yard and in the school premises. I and my friends got into trouble severally while throwing stones at this fruit both at home and in school.
We all called this fruit 'fruuit of frunt'.
Do you remember this fruit? What is the English name and how do you call it in your native language?
Why will someone put out information that they are not sure of, I'm not disputing whether there was a kidnapping but at least try a little research before putting out information Y-junction is in my hometown Nkume, Njaba LGA, in Orlu. While Ubomiri is in Mbaitoli local government in Owerri.
SaudanaofSokoto: People may want to ask why? Simple,you cant eat your cake and it and an Igbo candidature will loose even between two Igbos. As the 2023 general election draws nearer,the governing political party as I prefer to call them,would be so profoundly foolish handling over its presidential ticket to any aspiring presidential candidate from the South eastern part of the country. The reasons are not far fetch,they are alighted below:
1. There may not be APC anymore,if this great injustice should be done. Which is what most of the people from the South east wanted. 2. There will be disaffection among party faithful who will feel that they have been hard done by. 3. I can bet this with everything I have,that the election will be a colossal failure for the APC,if an Igbo man is on balot paper. 4. APC,as a political party is not popular in the SS,fairly popular in the S
Wow, Oh God, English has just been murdered and buried.
sanctity454: Umezuruike hospital road by westend receiving attention
It is commendable when our roads are getting the attention they needed but truly it is time for our governments in Igboland to abandon open drainage, in layman's terms penny wise pound foolish, it doesn't make sense. Truth be told our people are dirty the drainage will be filled with garbage in no time.
This boy's brain turned mud immediately he joined APC, Keyamo, how the mighty have fallen, Keyamo is your memory failing you? you forgot the federal government was the one that set up the penal in the 36 states of the federation.
PDPGuy: The Federal Government has budgeted N500 million in the 2022 budget for the ongoing construction of the international terminal at the Enugu airport
Really the federal government doesn't want to finish that airport terminal if you convert the money that is just one million dollars to me that is just a joke, for how many years will it take to complete just 500 thousand capacity a year terminal.
I agree that governance in Imo state is worst than a nightmare but the road that brought about the thread is a federal road and will blame Buhari for the condition of that road.
AmericanDad: Hey guys, I just found out my colleague at work iv been sleeping with is pregnant. We were'nt dating tho we were just having fun together. We both came into the organization the same time and we earn very well like well above 500k per month. I'm 33 and she's 28. Shes having double mind about it and thinking of abortion but I told her No. Her reason is what will our colleagues say and how her family will react to her being pregnant out of wedlock.
The issue is she's from calabar and I'm from anambra. I'm the only son of my parents. Iv not told my folks yet but they definately would prefer me to marry an igbo girl. Also guys, we have started talking marriage plans but now that she's pregnant can the church wed us? or should I just do Traditional and court then after the baby is born I do white wedding Time is ticking oo.
Please don't see this as an insult, but please grow up for God's sake you are a 33 years old man. Igbo, Calabar, only son are all irrelevant unprotected sex has consequences thank your God it is pregnancy and not a deadly disease. Go ahead and build your family love has no boundary.
presidency: THEY SAID NOTHING WAS HAPPENING...HOW ABOUT THESE?
By FEMI ADESINA
As you read this piece, President Muhammadu Buhari and his team are in the French capital, attending the Paris Peace Forum, a gathering of about 30 Presidents and head of governments from around the world. The Nigerian leader is among the few that were asked to deliver a speech.
On Wednesday afternoon, we had been at the Palais Elysee, the seat of the French government, where President Buhari paid an official visit to President Emmanuel Macron, who himself had been in Abuja in 2018. Impressive is a mild word to use for the spectacle.
Earlier that Wednesday, President Buhari had been at the Shangri-La Hotel, to give a keynote address at the Nigeria International Partnership Forum, put together for Nigerian and French investing community. It was a roll call of the brightest and best in the Nigerian business firmament, including Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman BUA Group and head, France-Nigeria Business Council, Mr Tony Elumelu, Chairman Heirs Holdings and UBA, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, Chairman, Oriental Energy Resources, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, Chairman/Editor-in-Chief, ThisDay Group and Arise News Channels, among many others.
Now, the narrative that some people have labored to paint over the years, either out of hatred, or cheap political reasons, is that nothing was happening in the country, other than wanton killings and massive insecurity. They trumpet and magnify insecurity to the exclusion of any other thing. Yes, Nigeria battles grave security challenges like many other countries, particularly in the Sahel region, but then, many other good things are happening, while evildoers are also being given a pounding by agencies of state.
Mr President spoke to the galaxy of Nigerian and French business people and investors, to a massive applause. And what did he say?
The government in Nigeria was on the right path to achieving multi-sectoral progress. It has re-assessed and updated the national security strategy, which has contributed to success in fighting insurgents and terrorists, and also countering violent extremism.
Still firing from the hips, Mr President told his audience that there was a link between modern infrastructure and the overall economic development of a nation, “hence the massive infrastructural expansion programme we have been executing in various sectors.”
He gave examples such as railways, seaports, roads, renewable energy, housing, and many others.
Petroleum is the cash cow of the Nigerian economy, which is now being heavily diversified. But for more than two decades, the enabling law for the industry crawled through the legislature. Till the Buhari administration gave it a fillip, and out came the Petroleum Industry Act, the liberalizing force of the oil industry, with incentives as tax holidays, zero interest loans, development plan for host communities, and easy repatriation of profits, among others.
On agriculture, President Buhari spoke about the Anchor Borrowers Programme, which gives loans and technical support to small holder farmers, leading to expansion of rice mills from 10 in 2014, to 40 today. The result is that we no longer import rice enormously, and now save billions of dollars, which can be utilized for other things.
Fertilizer blending plants were about only five in 2014, today we have 46, with the result that the commodity is widely available and accessible to farmers, at modest costs.
Many other facts and figures did the President adduce to justify the fact that good things were happening in Nigeria, and investments were not only safe, but also generating handsome returns. And that makes one to challenge those engaged in the paroxysm of ‘nothing is happening in the country’ to countermand or controvert any of the stated developments.
Has security not been jigged up in a way that bandits, terrorists, insurgents have been put on the back foot? Are evildoers not being daily sent to God to answer for their crimes? Is the country not being cleaned up, and it is just a matter of time before the sanitation is completed?
Don’t they see the infrastructure? Roads, bridges, airports, pipelines, awesome projects like the Second Niger Bridge, Bodo-Bonny road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway, Loko-Oweto Bridge, AKK gas pipelines, Lagos-Ibadan rail project that is up and running, other rail projects under construction round the country, brand new airports in Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, new runway and terminal building in Enugu, and many others. Which will the wailers, caterwauling all their lives point to, and deny its existence? Yet they keep repeating like broken gramophone records that nothing was happening in the country.
The truth is that no single government will solve all the challenges of a country in its life span. It will do its level best, and yield space for others to continue. Muhammadu Buhari has touched Nigeria in diverse ways. Our armed forces have been equipped, trained and motivated like never before. The economy has successfully been diversified, after more than five decades of lip service. Corruption is being robustly fought, stealing is something to be abhorred. And Nigeria is being rebuilt. Projects, projects everywhere, with a good number of them slated for commissioning next year.
The apostles of ‘nothing is happening, except insecurity’ should look for other music to sing, and for other dance steps. Honest Nigerians can see and feel the good things happening. It was unfolded to Nigerian and international investors in Paris on Wednesday. Those who have consigned themselves perpetually to the complaint counters should wake up. The market is over. It is time to go home, and do something better.

All most six and half years in office none of the projects mentioned is 100% completed not a single one.
samwriter: What is happening to my little brother. What is this thing on is body?
Take your brother to the hospital for a proper test stop listening to people who are not doctors, the symptom may be kidney failure as a result of diabetes, it may be small pox, just go to the hospital before it's too late, please.
So you mean the eze's don't have personal security attached to them or vigilantes to be on ground on the said meeting..
The LGA chairman need to answer some questions about him not inviting police or vigilantes to cover such a meeting of royal kings...
Maybe you didn't read the article before typing, Daily Trust had reported, A source, who attended the meeting, countered the police, saying the security agency was adequately informed.
He said the Police also sent some men to the venue of the meeting to provide security.
The source said that men of Operation Search and Flush were deployed there with their team leader but left less than an hour into the meeting.
According to the source, when the police were prevailed upon to stay until the end of the meeting, they said that they were summoned by their commander.
He said: “The chairman was even seen telling them they cannot leave after agreeing to provide security for the event.
“They eventually left. They said they were summoned by their commander. About an hour later, the hoodlums struck.
Chikeluba25: My fear with Maduka is that he may end up being a 2nd Rochas. Which one is 21universities in the 21LGA. Ozigbo is good but not better than Soludo. He may end up being controlled by PDP forces.
He never said that what he said was satellite universities in 21 LGA there is a difference, that is campuses. I'm from Imo state I wish Maduka will turn to an Imolite to rescue my dead state.
AnambraTerror: Shut up he's an iponk terrorist and deserves the death,u too as a terrorist deserve death. Most iponk terrorists are okada riders, keke drivers , mechanics and welders just like u and the monkey killed
In the name of Jesus, I pray that the death you wish to others come to you first before this year run out 'AMEM'
presidency: President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in Abuja assured Nigerians that the 11.9km Second Niger Bridge, 120 km Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and other key projects under the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) will be completed within the second term of this administration.
The President gave the assurance at the opening of a two-day Mid-Term Ministerial Performance Review Retreat organized to assess progress made towards the achievement of the nine key priorities of this Administration.
He used the occasion of the retreat, the third edition since the second term of his administration, to highlight some of the Federal Government’s notable achievements in the last two years.
He listed accomplishments in the areas of infrastructure, transportation, economy, electricity supply, the petroleum industry, among others.
‘‘On transportation, we are growing the stock and quality of our road, rail, air and water transport infrastructure.
‘‘The PIDF projects are also advancing remarkably. These include the 11.9km Second Niger Bridge, 120 km Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, 375 km Abuja – Kaduna – Zaria – Kano Expressway and the East West Road. Most of these projects are expected to be completed within this 2nd term of our Administration,’’ he said.
President Buhari expressed delight that over the past two years, Ministers have rendered reports to the Federal Executive Council on their activities related to the achievement of their Ministerial Mandates.
‘‘Some of the notable achievements include the establishment of InfraCo Plc in 2020, as a world class infrastructure development vehicle, wholly focused on Nigeria, with combined debt and equity take-off capital of N15 trillion, to be managed by an independent infrastructure fund manager.
‘‘The Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund was also established in 2020 with more than USD 1Billion in funding.
‘‘In addition, we have launched the Nigeria Innovation Fund by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA). This is aimed at addressing investment opportunities in the domestic technology sector: data networking, datacenters, software, Agri-tech, Bio-tech, and more,’’ he said.
Furthermore, President Buhari noted that his administration had made tremendous progress on railway projects in the country, noting that upgrading of the railway network is being extended with the recent completion of the Lagos – Ibadan line.
‘‘The Itakpe-Ajaokuta rail line has finally been completed and commissioned after 30 years of its conception.
‘‘Work is expected to commence very soon on the Port-Harcourt Maiduguri line and Calabar – Lagos Coastal Line to connect the Southern and Eastern States of our Country. Progress is also being made on the upgrading of our Airports, with the state-of-the-art facilities in line with world class safety standards,’’ he said.
On the economy, the President said the nation witnessed three consecutive quarters of growth, after negative growth rates recorded in the second and third quarters of 2020.
‘‘The GDP grew from 0.8% in 2017 to 2.2% in 2019, but declined in the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the downward trend in global economic activities triggered by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
‘‘As at Second Quarter 2021, GDP growth rate was at 5.01%, the highest since the inception of this Administration.
On security, President Buhari announced that the Ministry of Defence has been instructed to create a modest military industrial complex for the local production of weapons to meet some of the requirements of the country's armed forces.
The President explained that the establishment of the industrial complex would address Nigeria’s over-dependence on other countries for military equipment and logistics.
He said the project is being implemented under the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON), a military department responsible for arms manufacture.
On other efforts to strengthen national security, the President said it was gratifying to note that Nigeria has received six A-29 Super Tucano.
He said the propeller-driven aircraft are being used for training, surveillance and attack by the military.
‘‘As part of the efforts towards strengthening our national security, we have increased investments in arms, weapons and other necessary equipment; expanded the National Command and Control Centre to nineteen states of the Federation; and established a Nigerian Police Trust Fund, which will significantly improve funding for the Nigeria Police Force.
‘‘We have also approved the sum of N13.3 billion for the take-off of the Community Policing initiative across the Country, as part of measures adopted to consolidate efforts aimed at enhancing security nationwide,’’ he said.
On the Power Sector, President Buhari noted that the implementation of a ‘Willing Buyer-Willing Seller’ Policy has opened up opportunities for increased delivery of electricity to underserved homes and industries.
He expressed the hope that the execution of critical projects through the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme, will result in achieving the national goal of improved power supply by 2025.
On the Petroleum Industry Act signed into law on 16th August 2021, the President reiterated his directive to the Implementation Committee to complete all processes for the successful operationalization of the Act within 12 months.
On efforts to empower the youth and other vulnerable groups by enhancing investments in the Social Intervention Programmes, the President said he has approved the expansion of the National Social Register (NSP) by 1 million additional households.
The NSP is the official database for the implementation of the Conditional Cash Transfer programme.
‘‘We have established the N75 billion Nigerian Youth Investment Fund created to boost the Nigerian economy through leverage and access to finance for youths.
‘‘The Fund should serve as a catalyst to unleash the potential of the youth and to enable them to build businesses that will stimulate economic growth and create jobs. These accomplishments are a testament to the fact that all hands are on deck in establishing a solid foundation for even greater successes in future,’’ he said.
The President warned all ministers and permanent secretaries to take seriously all issues relating to the implementation of their mandates towards the attainment of the laudable objectives of this Government.
The President concluded his address at the opening of the retreat with the unveiling of the Presidential Priorities Performance Management System.
He explained that the Performance Management System and Dashboard, which has been in effect since January this year, had provided him the opportunity to track projects in real-time with live data.
‘‘In our continuing drive to ensure accountability, we have incorporated a Performance Management Framework into the functions of the Central Delivery Coordination Unit for ease of tracking of the Ministerial Deliverables along the lines of the 9 priority areas of this administration.
‘‘This initiative has provided me the opportunity to track the performance of all Ministries and by extension my Administration.
‘‘ This process has been in effect since January 2021 and today it gives me great pleasure to unveil the Performance Management System and Dashboard to track projects in real-time with live data and early warning system to proactively resolve bottlenecks,’’ he said.
In view of the importance of this year’s retreat, President Buhari announced that he would sit through all the sessions to listen to the cumulative assessment of this administration’s performance over the last 2 years.
Equally, the President would join in discussions on the best approach and strategies to implement planned policies, programmes and projects that can significantly diversify the economy away from its dependence on oil revenue, while sustaining the current economic growth trajectory.

Buckeyemedia1: Then you think you can defeat that same majority by use of force? When it comes to using intellectuality mind over matter, you have already accepted defeat?, when they face you with force, you will also accept defeat.
A short memory is very real, I did not know that flying Biafran flags and peacefully protesting in the streets of southeast and south-south demanding for a referendum was called (FORCE) wow. Nigerian government of Buhari brought force, they brought war they brought guns and they started the killing.
Originalsly: Knowing the insecurity .... why would he be even trying to get away from security operatives ... in a car with tinted windows? I can't blame the security. It was OK for him to lose his life because of his foolishness....but not that of his wife.
