Stop deceiving yourself, enugu has more slum, water scarcity and poverty than all the states in southern Nigeria

Answer the simple questions, why beat around

0bjpmb:
Stop living in denial. Enugu is a backward town

answer the simple question pls

0bjpmb:
Most areas in enugu have rustic brown roofs just like obiagu. Abakpa, uwani, emene, coal camp, ngenevu, asata, ogui, etc,are even worse

How many urban areas are in Enugu city and what's the size of Enugu city?

0bjpmb:
Enugu has more brown roofs than ibadan. Also enugu has the largest slum in Nigeria

What is the size of Enugu slumps and what's the population of people living in those slumps, ? Do you know makoko a slum in Lagos has the population of half a million people living in there? Ibadan city is a slum with 3 million people living there, the entire population of people living in Enugu city is not up to 500 thousand, so why console yourself?

tamdun:
Common man, don't you people have a particular pic u use to represent the whole ibadan

Cause that's how Ibadan is everyone knows Ibadan city is covered with brown roofs, it's a brown roof city, this is obiagu in Enugu it's an old settlement in Enugu everyone knows

0bjpmb:
This is Enugu, almost the whole city is covered in rustic brown roofs

So obiagu is almost the whole Enugu city?

Congrats MTN!

The states that will witness the first launch, the company said, include Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Owerri, and Maiduguri.

Just like the clean data from INEC, JAMB data etc, I see population consideration at work again.

The 5 SE Igbo states have a minority population.

The clean data do not have emotion and that may just be one of the emperical basis to site major developments.

MTN is not FG that one can blame for using politics to site development, MTN is in it for business so MTN had really factored in real data to choose the take off states.

I am not surprised. The 3 super major tribes in Nigeria by population are the Hausa, Yoruba and Fulani. Part of the push factors for developments like this is low population.

The current low population and low urbanization of Igboland is largely due to environmental factors ( e.g natural disasters like gully erosion,hostile weather conditions caused by climate change etc) lack of security especially in those large unoccupied bare lands, low Igbo population, too much blood letting, emigration of indigenes and the fact that non indigenes are not attracted and incentivised to migrate to Igboland to urbanize it.

Luckily, all these push factors currently being witnessed by the 5 SE Igbo states can be reversed if the folks and leaders in SE are honest enough to admit these problems and deal with each of them. For God sake, the whole SE is just like the size of Oyo state in Land mass so if a single Governor like HE Seyi Makinde can administer Oyo state, having 5 Governors to administer such equivalent Igboland land mass should be easier and bring developments far closer to my Igbo brethren. Haba!

In my whole life, I have never seen or heard a non-Igbo saying he is relocating to SE. As a patriotic Nigerian, I am genuinely concerned that something is really wrong with SE. Igboland can not be left behind.

This long article cause a 5G network is to be lunched in owerri? Stop contradicting yourself Ibadan should have 5 different type of 5G network lunched there going by its landmass, the entire Yoruba land should have 10 different 5G network lunched there going by the landmass?

internationalman:
These white people especially the Americans keep enjoying and exploring God's through their own brilliant man made creation while we in Africa can't even have full dominion over God's creation like he wants.

I don't think God created us equally.

No God created man, man is God in his own right, the imaginary God is man made it doesn't really exist, they might be other living beings out there in different planets yes but the logic on one spiritual being created all the universe is false, who created God then? How did God come to be?

The monkey that is jumping about,proclaiming himself as the king of the jungle on the day of coronation the Lion will be there ,so wise up if you nor wise

No matter how powerful an alpha male lion is, he will one day be overthrown by a younger lion and sent into exile

BabaO2:
Ofcourse, naturally he will support peter obi it is understandable on ethnic ground, but why coming to manipulate a clear minded person that has already spoken his mind on the issue .
For your enlightment, you dont know the health status of anyone by mere seeing them physically. Your mind is your health status.

You can't know a sick man by physical examination? Your mind is your health status? Where did you learn this garbage from?


But you can know a manipulative person by just looking at him?

NuclearWinter:
And you think Obi is a new kid on the bloc?

Same Obi that was this same Atiku you are castigating running mate in 2019?

This is how you idiots said the most despotic military head of state had repented and will change Nigeria to heaven.

Obi has been in the PDP that you ate castigating since 1999. He left because he didn't get the ticket only to decamp after he completed his tenure to return to same PDP .

You people should stop being naive and see this Obi as a grifter that he is.

He only left the party when it became clear he wasn't going to be the running mate or the substantive nominee.

You have not answered the simple question, you said we will start with atiku, what are we starting with atiku? What's new with the former VP?

PandoraObi:
Kuti have been attacked and threatened

And you think femi is a coward like you? The man simply cleared the air on what you tinubu thugs were masturbating on

NuclearWinter:
The main agenda is to get rid of the APC from our national space

Only PDP can do this .

Tinubu's campaign is already flattering in the north where he hoped he will get at least 60% votes but as things stand now he will be lucky to see 5% votes from there.

Obi is getting zilch from the north . His only base is the SE.

The SS will continue voting for PDP as that's the main party there so no chance for obi and tinubu there.

SW will be dicey with Tinubu having a very marginal win over Atiku . Atiku will get at least 35-40% votes from places like Oyo, Osun and Ondo. Obi will try if he smells 5% from the SW


This is a repeat of the 1979 elections and it is split even between SE, SW and North

Every other noise is from the exorcised demons of IPOB driven to posses Obi's campaign. Ignore it.

That's not my question, my question is what are we starting a new with atiku? Is this atiku a new one or the old one we all know?

NuclearWinter:
It wasn't a hostage negotiation but a final cash out to their terrorists.

APC is evil and must never be allowed back to power.

Say no to Thiefnibu the bastard of Alausa

Say no to the serial liar and IPOB candidate that is meant to split votes in favour of APC

Vote Atiku and lets start from there

What exactly are we starting with atiku?

Born2conquer:
Bold of you to think the. Government is foolish, what if they're all playing to a script?


No government can be foolish enough to meet terrorists needs without putting things in place to have their own needs met

Lol playing to a script indeed, did you watch the documentary of the zamfara bandits? The government has no plans at all, ending bandits and terrorist attacks in the North will be the most difficult thing for Nigeria since the creation of Nigeria, it's way worst than the Biafra-nigeria civil war

Abdul05:
Why is he dressing in Black most times..?


Is he possessing uncanny spiritual power to serve the devil or what.. 666

Maybe ,he is an antisocial ritualist..

A black man thinks wearing black is evil and wearing white is holiness? mental slavery

aribisala0:
There is no joke bro.
In Yoruba land dobale is serious business. It is a Ritual of humility. You do not know and I corrected you not just for yourself but for others reading the thread.

It is a very important ritual in marriage , religion and even in the coronation of kings. A king traditionally in some places would perform a dobale for every single person he encountered during a set period never to dobale again after coronation

So when you say it is not a sign of humility you are displaying ignorance. That is the ONLY purpose of idobale
It has no other function

What he is trying to say is that, humility that does not come from the heart is no humility at all, it's eye services, and an act of cowardice, a traditionally imposed act of humility does not portray ones true character rather it's just an obligation, that's why a Yoruba man can prostrate before you but insult you immediately you turn your back to leave

I won’t say more than I’ve said.

You’ll get prove when the opportunity to choose is no longer there

How do you know that?

That's not Peter obi's official Facebook page

Microwhy:
So pastors are making polygamy look like a sin.
Those girls are Christians either you like it or not.

Every pastor is preaching what he thinks, but the so called Bible they preach from never condemned polygamy, you can't force those girls to be Christians or not it's their personal choice

Kingpele:
Nonsense in this life we need to make sure we are ready for the consequences of our decisions..this couple left City to live in a mud house in the village of another country..lesson sin can take u to places of influence, power and pleasures but if u don't abandon it with time it's will slam u to the mud ...even wild animals can never allow themselves to be attracted to same gender of their kind because it's unnatural but a human being who is supposed to be more intelligent than animals are celebrating same sex marriages..humanity is sliding into great level of madness only God through our savoir jesus christ can saved this lost world

How can Jesus save the world, the world was here before Jesus came and the world is still here after Jesus left some 2000 yrs ago

Iliveforever:
HEAVEN IS REAL.
HELL IS REAL.
You only have until DEATH to make your choice.

Any proves?

He could have several good reasons for not showing up it could be for safety reasons.

Why always him? He did same thing in Zambia

Zonefree:
The complete table shows 9ja no try at all. A country of over 200 million people struggling with just 35 medals. Scotland with just 5 million people got 49 medals.

Nigeria took only about 50 athletes, they won 35 medals that's a great achievement, it's not about quantity it's about quality, how many did India get? Rest kid

Microwhy:
Hypocrisy is truly a big deal..
This very beautiful Christian young girls see no wrong doing with polygamy. They say its baby mama and no religion head is addressing the issue of baby mama especially among Christians which is at its peak.
Very stupid people.

Can you point to anywhere in the Bible where they said polygamy is a sin?
Plus a person is a Christian only when he or she accept to be a Christian so don't force Christianity on anyone those girls are not Christians

mach7:
It's ok. I can see that we are on two different spectrums. I don't see the issue the way you do and you don't see the issue the way I do.

Yes, I don't want a controlled media report that will tell me half truth, I want the whole truth, don't tell me, hey your life is not really in danger when in fact my life is indeed in danger, Nigerians as a whole deserve to know the whole truth not a half truth

mach7:
You are not getting my point.

Scenario 1: Terrorists have attacked ABC village, 3 were killed but the military is currently hunting the terrorists and have assured that they will be dealt with. Our correspondent is currently at the hospital where the injured persons are being treated. Those killed were two men and a woman. The State Governor has promised to cover the hospital bills, while assuring residents that all is being made to keep them secure.

Scenario 2: Terrorists have attacked ABC village, 3 persons were killed and the entire village is in panic with people running helter-skelter. The military are currently trying to engage the terrorists, but considering that 6 soldiers were killed last week, we are not sure they will be successful. The terrorists are becoming more and more bolder by the day, and very soon they will overrun the entire LGA and maybe even take over the state. People are evening considering self help, there is disaster everywhere.

Please out of the 2 scenarios, which kind of reporting is better for the society?

My point is that the press should not magnify or glorify the situation as it is not hopeless. We are in the fight together as Nigerians and the pressmen and presswomen are Nigerians too.

If you still don't get my point then....I give up.

The first and second report are the same

1) first report, terrorist attacked ABC village, 3 people were killed. The question is, was it only 3 people that were killed or the number was reduced to 3 just to give keep the people from knowing the actual number of how many were killed? The military is currently hunting the terrorist and have assured that they will be dealt with, the question is where were the military when the terrorist attacked ABC village and operated for 24 hours with no military intervention? How many times has the terrorist attacked same ABC village with the military doing nothing about it? The government pays bills and assures residents that all is been made to protect them from the terrorist, yet the attacks are coming in every day, what explanation has the government given to the people why the attacks are still coming in?


2) report 2, is the same, were 3 killed? is the village in panic? Are the military trying to engage the terrorist but falling? Are the terrorist getting bolder? Are people considering self help?

So both report one and two left unanswered questions
That's where report 3 comes in, report 3 is not just a report but and investigation, and they were able to answer all the unanswered questions by speaking directly with the terrorist and the victims , that was what the documentary was all about, report the truth as it is

mach7:
If the press doesn't report what the terrorists do, how will you know? Furthermore, did I claim that kidnappings and killings done by terrorists is a lie? Because I never said so, neither did I imply such. See, I will summarize by saying that you are entitled to your opinion if you are not getting the points I raised.

Then why attack the press for doing their job?

lexy2014:
So what has the govt done all these years to prevent bandits from destabilizing it?

What exactly was said by the bandits that isn't true as itemised by jimyjames who you responded to?

Are the bandits ghosts? Does the govt not know where they are?

I know why they are against that documentary, the main reason they are against that documentary is because it has exposed a weakness of northern unity that we were made to believe was untouchable,
they can't just accept the fact that Fulanis and the Hausa's are now turning their guns at each other, and even if they accept, they don't want the rest of Nigerians to know this weakness cause the South might take advantage of it just like they themselves have taken advantage of the southern political disunity

mach7:
And what makes you think that what the bandits said is the ultimate truth? I hope you realize that the aim of the bandits/terrorist is to destabilise the government and sow panic. Remove your bias against the government and re-analyze the situation again.

The bandits don't need to lie to the press to destabilize the government and sow panic, cause they have successfully done that without the press , so what are you talking about? Is the kidnappings, killings and destructions carried out in the North on daily basis a lie?

It's rather evil and wicked for the government to keep lying to its citizens that such things don't exist when they do, and innocent people are paying the price everyday, covering up the bandits by the government won't let it go away

mach7:
This Farooq Kperogi of a guy will just sit abroad and be writing what does not profit us.

Kadaria Ahmed was on Arise TV sometime this week and she clearly explained her reasons for condemning the documentary.

None of the Western countries which we are so quick to praise will ever allow their domestic terrorists any form of airtime or promote them in any way. What did we gain from watching the documentary? That bandits are powerful? That the bandits cum terrorists are making a lot money from their evil activities? That Fulanis & Hausas are fighting each other? What exactly in that documentary is meant to help us as citizens overcome the menace of these bandits/terrorists? What was in that documentary that could help us heal from the scourge that they have brought on our land?

Focus should always be on the victims and how they are struggling to cope through the situation and never on the terrorists who gloat when they are the focus of attention.

But then trust my fellow Nigerian youths not to reason things properly. They all went online to start insulting the women and tagging her a "lover of terrorists".

It is just sad.

P.S. If Oga Farooq is such a press freedom advocate, let him as a Nigerian journalist write articles or present a documentary on school shootings in the US and focus on the perpetrators instead of the victims. Let's see if they won't revoke his visa and sent him back to Nigeria on the first available flight.

We gained a lot of truths from that documentary

1) yes that they bandits are powerful and they are fellow Nigerians not foreigners from Mali as federal government said
2) that government is paying them anytime they kidnap people not the other way round which government has denied payment of ransom
3) yes that the Hausa Farmers and Fulani herdsmen are fighting each other cause of territories
4) in the documentary those bandits clearly stated why they are doing what they are doing and if the government cares about this country they will take steps to look into it and solve the problem instead of just given the Nigerian citizens false hope that they are doing something about it when it's clear they are funding this bandits


Every Nigerian is a potential victim including those who left their farms and cattle to fight for themselves , so even the bandits are victims

Clown! You sit on your azz, watch dstv, see folks in Ghana tv talk about Ghana and Nigeria movies, and suddenly you become an expert on what Ghanaians think generally about their movie industry? I guess I gave Nigerians more sense than they deserve

I'm not talking about Ghanaian citizens here, I'm talking about Ghanaian movie industry and what they did differently to outshine Nigerian movie industry but failed, comprehend
