Funnicator:
He has animosity against Anambra and he gave Ibeto license to take over management and ownership of Nkalagu cement in Ebonyi state?

One of the oldest cement clusters pre-independence and huge revenue source were government to take control of it.

Mind yourself, Mr Umahi just wants better image perception of SE towards Ebonyi state.

Same reason why he was upset when Anambra changed Abakaliki street because it was booming and developing and they took the Abakaliki street to a less booming street.

OK we have heard but tell umahi to remove his eyes from anambra and turn his security light on abia, enugu or Imo.....or are these ones not states in SE.

[s]Igbos has gain economically in Buhari Government than any other Government.

1. An igbo man is manufacturing and supplying military arm trucks(Innoson motors).

2. After 58yrs military boots are been manufactured in Aba.

3. For the first time after 58yrs Arara market in Aba has 24hrs electricity to boost their production.

4. For the first time after 58yrs Abakiliki Rice is been sold in supermarkets like Shoprites and many more shops.

5. Buhari has made Igbos importers transactions with China easy with the Naira deal with yarn.

6. Buhari has constructed more roads in igbo land than any other government.

7. 2nd Niger bridge is on going by Buhari.

8. Buhari reelection 2019 will produce an igbo Senate President in the 9th Assembly.

9. Only Buhari reelection 2019 will guarantee igbo Presidency 2023.

10. Buhari is more of bless to Igbos than a curse.[/s]

I can tell all insults but not a cross river man ( onye monwu) insulting igbos.

Open a thread and campaign and not here.

I wonder what a youth will be campaigning for a lifeless irredentist....an irredeemable on for that matter.

Constrain ur campaign in cross river and calabar and not for igbos.

What a lifeless write up.

OMANBALA1:
The real problem Dave Umahi has with Peter Obi's pick is never because South East leaders were never consulted but because 1.Obi is from Anambra, 2. No Ebonyi person was on the original shortlist of likely VP candidates. Dave Umahi has animosity against Anambra, in particular. But Ndi Anambra is not responsible for the way Ebonyi people are perceived around the region. Yes, people look down on Ebonyi because of the impression they get upon dealing with them. How can a man travel from the village to Lagos just to sell chewing gum in the traffic?

Dave Umahi need to shut up and fix the mind of his people. Even, there are serious problems facing him because he is so bent on beautifying Ebonyi just to up the confidence of his people but he is totally neglecting every other sector and part of the state. Low self esteem is a fat BBITCH! It will make you to lose the sight of the real problem staring you in the face. I smile when people say Umahi is the best performing governor.

U nailed it.

achi4u:
It seems you don't know what development is all about.
A place you can not breath a fresh and full of Crack roads.
Oga the Anambra soil is bleeding.
If you can understand me.

Na deportation go end am.

If u know u know.

achi4u:
I still don't know where you are getting ur own info from. Most of the things you said here are not true, most you tell lies to appear strong?

His analysis is far more acceptable than the other.

achi4u:
Thanks very much. You just ended this topic.

Imagine coz the lies suit ur style.

He is just living in ebonyi...forget the rest of his write-up.

Mandeyy:
Bro, stop insulting your bro. I live in Abakaliki, but i'm from Anambra, Anambra Central (Idemili North LGA) precisely. I detest Umahi's utterance about Peter Obi. This is cos nobody from Ebonyi State can match Peter Obi's pedigree. Obi is a man of the people, very humble and honest. However, Ebonyi doesn't fight Anambra. Our attitude towards them caused it. I was born and brought up in Abakaliki, and attended UNIZIK. Do you know that they hate Ebonyians seriously? They don't want to hear anything about Ebonyi State. Ignore the lie they always tell people that an Abakaliki man is brainless. It's not true. Poverty and neglect they experienced when in Anambra and Enugu made them dislike some Anambra people. You know that poverty can make a person reason awkwardly. But if you see an Ebonyi man now, the difference is very clear. They're now brainy, sensible, exposed unlike before. They have always been brainy, but poverty masked it before. Every civilization started like that. Some were civilized before others. Afterall, the Whites looked at us (Blacks) as brainless and senseless human beings, even till today. We are worth nothing to them even though we (blacks) have got some education.

The change of Abakaliki Street to Club Street is not good. Afterall, most of the streets in Abakaliki were named after Anambra people. Abakaliki Street seems to be the only street bearing Ebonyi name in the whole of Awka, if not Anambra entirely.

Concerning Nigercem, it was owned by five South Eastern States before. In fact, Ojukwu's father lived his last days at Nigercem, Nkalagu, and even died there. The issue there is that the other 4 states abandoned it later. In fact, they disowned it. Initially, Ibeto was allowed to start operations there, but he mismanaged everything. He and Ebonyi State Govt went to court. So, don't say what you don't know.

Ebonyi State is better than Anambra in welcoming strangers. Ebonyi people don't discriminate unlike our Anambra people who like to insult Abakaliki and Nsukka people as if they're the most sensible and intelligent of all people. You even exhibited it here. Ebonyi State has had 3 anambra people as comissioners and special advisers, one Imo person as a member, Ebonyi State House of Assembly, plus other lesser positions. Even in this Umahi administration, An Anambra man is a commissioner. My cousin was made a commissioner for Commerce and Industry. He was later made commissioner for Information during Elechi administration. He was handling the two portfolios concurrently towards the twilight of Elechi Administration. He would have continued with Umahi, but he had a problem with Umahi due to the fact that he's an Elechi man. We're from Anambra as i said earlier. Ebonyi people are good. Bad and greedy people are everywhere.

Oga stop this screwed analysis

achi4u:
guy wake up. Ebonyi people don catch up since that's why most of you are pained cos you don see where to carry maid or nwaboy again cos all of them are engaged.
I don't understand what you mean by Ebonyi people bearing grudges?

Catch up fire?


Two of our house maid na from ebonyi and the last a boy was brought few weeks ago.

Even simple English he can't speak...well....english dey hard am...but atleast he can write and hear.na one igbo wey I no dey hear...na wetin the guy dey speak...

But Las Las dey guy dey work and is obedient I mean cool.
Currently in primary five

Make una try to dey send una children to school.

UgwuAghachi:
Osita Chidoka who attended and revealed the outcome of the meeting while calling himself an 'Igbo leader' is from Bauchi state right?

Campaign of calumny against chidoka.

Even. Chidoka visited obi and congratulated him.

Umahi and his co are cursed.

Liars everywhere.

achi4u:
The real Anambra people I know don't carry hatred for head like gala, it is the 'never do well' like you and your likes keep harboring and keeping a dark side in ur heart.
Yes, I earn my living here, any problem with that?
Most Anambra people full Ebonyi state as well.

None of my business but tell ur brodas to stop discriminating with his fellow ebonyians.

Is not healthy at all.
Good day.

achi4u:
As for you nwa Igala-Anambra, Ebonyi issue will one day eliminate you.
Maybe Ebonyi person rape ur mother.

How far ur sokoto wife??

achi4u:
guy go hang yourself.
Ebonyi and Anambra has nothing in common, we parted ways the day Ebonyi state was created.
Leave in ur fantasy mansion, let me mange my little farm.
You can't use one man assertion to lump all of us together. Get lost.

I believe we making a headway.
To your tent o isreal.

Secondly there was never a day we were together.

UgwuAghachi:
Nobody discriminates in Nigeria like Anambra people. That's a fact.


Anambra people do both inter and intra community discrimination

Nnewi man discriminates Onitsha man from the same Anambra state and vice versa


Nnewi man will also discriminate another Nnewi man and call him OSU


Anambra man will discriminate other Igbo from IMO, Abakaliki, etc and call them wawa Igbo

Lolzzzzzzzzz.....

Omanbala is unique...we don't do shit.


Look at how u rubbished abakiliki....chaiii
Chaiiii.

Eberechi24:
you guys are problem you have, imagine discriminating his fellow ebonyian because hes abakaliki. ebonyis go and fix your life!!
Thinksmarter come and see your problem.

My sister I thought am the only one that noticed this....

Chaiiii

UgwuAghachi:
Sharap there. That's the problem with Anambra people, they see power and they begin to lose their minds. That is how you fools plunged Igbo into civil war.


I'm from Ebonyi south. My people have been in the center of Nigerian politics from day one and since this civilian era started, we have been involved more than your whole Anambra state combined. We don't need your claps and encouragement, we are not Imo or Abakaliki people, we will get into the thick of the politics like Umahi is doing, whether your weak Anambra ego likes it or not.

In same state someone is denying his own brothers...

Chaiiii....too bad.

bestviewer:
Ebonyi people are not even regarded as Igbos. They are at best considered 3rd class inferior Igbos from Niger Republic.

Lolzzzzzz

UgwuAghachi:
Oga I'm from Ebonyi South, old Afikpo province of Abia state.

Ebonyi south home of Akanu Ibiam and Uche Azikiwe (wife of Nnamdi Azikiwe, first first lady of Nigeria)


Ebonyi south home of all the Ebonyi people making Igbo proud from Tekno to Jude Nkama (the first black judge of New Jersey) to Anyim Pius Anyim to Patoranking to Aja Nwachukwu



I don't need a spare part selling OSU from Anambra to tell me my worth. Spare it for Abakaliki people

Do u really think this introduction matters...

gbemishile:
When someone says “One Nigeria”, many Nigerians internally scoff. Some even go as far as doing it on the outside.

This is because Nigeria is full of many tribes who do not seem to have a lot in common.

But when you look closely, many Nigerian tribes have many things in common such as culture, food and even languages.

The Yorubas and Igbos may seem to be as different as the sun and moon. But they have lots in common, especially in language.

Here are 7 words you’d find in both Yoruba and Igbo languages , although they may have different meanings and pronunciations:

1. Ile
Any Yoruba person will tell you that this word means “House”. In the Igbo language, this word means “Tongue”.



2. Enu
In Igbo, enu means “Up” while in Yoruba, it refers to the Mouth.



3. Owu
Can you believe this word means the same thing in both languages? Yes, it does. Owu is both the Yoruba and Igbo word for Thread.



4. Ede
Ede is the Yoruba word for language. It is also the Igbo word for Cocoyam.



5. Olaniyi
In Igbo “Olaniyi” means “Someone that has no value, a waste!” In Yoruba is a name, not just a Name,perhaps it’s a name per excellence which means “Wealth Has Value“. But imagine what the meaning was in Igbo language, someone can’t bear Olaniyi in the east in peace �



6. Aja
Aja is found in both languages albeit with different meanings. In Igbo, Aja means Sand. But it means Dog in Yoruba.



7. Jide
It’s pretty amazing how two different tribes can have the same name for male children. Though to be fair in Igbo, this name is the short form of Jideofor.

In Yoruba, Jide is the short form of Babajide, Olajide etc. In Igbo, Jide means to hold. While in Yoruba, it can mean “has come/resurfaced”.



8. Oja
When someone says the word “oja” in Yoruba, they mean market. In Igbo, Oja is the name given to the flute.

Which Other Words That Has Meaning In Both Tribes, Do You Know?
Drop your comments..

Op u forgot Olanike

Let her take her repercussions to enugu state.

This woman should have made a good representation of her people in ngwo enugu state.

Moreover the apga primaries was free and fair.

Bianca should not try to work against what her husband built.

UgwuAghachi:
Umahi said he talked to Obi, (who is his good friend) after the declaration by the south east governors was made. He said he has nothing against obi but he condemned the process with which it was made. If Hausa man installed Peter Obi for us as our candidate, then what is the difference between Peter Obi and Rochas Okorocha.

He talked to obi and still releasing such press statement?

Hard to believe.

UgwuAghachi:
I'm not measuring dvck with everybody. Igbo fvckd up by publicly rejecting Obi's candidacy. But to put all the blame on Ebonyi and Umahi without blaming Obiano, Obaze, Chidoka, Una, Anambra; Ekweremadu, Ugwanyi; Enugu, Ikpeazu, Abia is wrong

HmmmMm

Enugupikin:
[s]SE has 5 states and if one decides not to attend, he is highly inconsequential, or his failure to attend does it stop decision making for the zone, mbanu, he is highly inconsequential and a nobody in SE affairs..get it into your skull[/s]

Story

Have a nice day

Enugupikin:
[s]i wonder when Ebonyi people came out to tell u that they are aginst obi or was it only umahi that opposed him, if u can be sincere to yourself u will understand that they have been a reduction in momentum since SE leaders rejected not been consulted and not like they do not like OBI..Anambra has 1.8m registered voters, Enugu has 1.6m and Ebonyi 1.4m.....Anambra alone can not make obi vpresident


i doubt if Atiku would even win Buhari[/s] anyway

Have a nice day.

Ok

UgwuAghachi:
[s]You are just an illiterate spare part selling OSU from Anambra.


Under Obasanjo, Ebonyi occupied the Senate Presidency, the highest occupied political post by an Igbo man in that regime

Under Goodluck, Ebonyi occupied the SGF, the highest occupied political post by an Igbo man in that regime
[/s]

Am not here to measure dick biko......infact ebonyi occupies all positions I hope u OK by now.


What an assertion of gigantic pro-bush.

No diick measuring but ebonyi is free to support whosoever they want to...dats all.

UgwuAghachi:
Even Anambra governor Obiano isn't supporting Peter Obi, an Anambra citizen so what are you saying. Anambra isn't even united behind there own son. Charity begins at home

All the PDP eastern governors were in the meeting

I see it is the attitude of Anambra people to lump all the problem of Igbo people as Ebonyi fault

Obiano has already been deflated and he knows that and is on surest term he is already doing the needful by keeping mute...

Ekweremmmadu has congratulated obi.

Chidoka has visited obi same as obazee.
Anambra pdp has endorsed obi same as ohanaeze.

Even sw elders olabode Georgee has endorsed obi.

But is clear that umahi and his people are still pained by continous release of his divisive statement. But the truth is nobody is stopping ebonyians from voting buhari and umahi for mobilising for Buhari since that is where their heart, body and soul lies mana agbachaa oso, aguo mile.

Is simply dave umahi and his people.....no other persons.


Umahi has been having sleepless night since few weeks ago.


They have declared war on us but there is a sense that th God we worship never sleeps coz they are doomed to fail.


His statement has sincerely shown that they are fully against igbo progress and unity and I wonder why they should be retained in south-east.

Am submitting here that Ebonyi be shipped to north central so that we can have peace.

ThinkSmarter:
i kwusigo echiche obi gi.
then watch out for the consequences of ur unguided statement.
we will rather vote HausaFulani rather than the #proud and #arrogant anambra.
2019 ga eme gi vaam na anya.
adighi asikwa ndo.
u and ur likes will pay darely.

Ebonyi can't do nothing...I mean nothing.

U can vote hausa fulani coz is obvious u guys are not igbos in all ramifications. A state that has over 60% Muslims can never be an igbo state.

So voting ur hausa fulani brothers is not new to us igbos.

UgwuAghachi:
Did you read his statement at all? If tomorrow presidency is zoned to the east and we can't sit down and pick a single candidate for ourselves by ourselves and Hausa pick 20 igbo okoroawusa people come out to contest.

I read and understand fully and before we talk of president, let's talk of vp.

Did u read Umahi statement at all and saw the gibberish gushing out of his mouth??

Nobody is against Obi vp candidacy xcept ebonyi people and umahi......why??

That means is obvious we are seeing the section the problem will com from if presidency is zoned to SE finally.

Megapixel:
It's like this bushman is from the land of uncivilised people. His mother must be buried in her fathers compound when she dies and if he marries his wife must be returned to her fathers house for burial.
Imagine the bushman saying primary was free and fair. In which land is busload of thugs with guns, police firing teargas and people dying called free and fair.

Her husband iss dead, so she is free to re marry
