Yes I am fully aware that our hands are tied and the federal government is obsessed with control of so many things. I have read the federal exclusive list in details and it made we realize how much backward the federal government has kept us because of it.

BUT

That should never be used as an excuse. The state governors need to use the little powers that they have effectively and to the fullest capacity.

It's just like trying to solve a problem from the surface. If you don't address the root cause, you would end up showcasing what seem to be appealing just for a while.

horsepower102:
We Igbo have come to terms with the fact that Nigerian federal government will never do that. That's why our only option is the state government.

Brother. People(not just government) are willing to replicate whatever you see overseas here in the south east. But the problem is technical restrictions from the center. Do we really have power to do anything around those water fronts?

You can't even regulate anything concerning crude oil without the so called PIB bill. These are the things Nigerians should sit down and address if they are willing to embrace any semblance of progress

GeneralDae:
You are still not making sense to me here, Sincerely I'm lost. Maybe you should speak in plain language.

It's okay to be lost

GeneralDae:
And how does this tally with my response to the post I was responding to and where did O say frowning at Jungle justice is a new thing? I don't get the point you are making.

I responded because you are making a big deal of a biblical character common to some people as old as the world and unaccounted for

GeneralDae:
There was a need for the jesus character. The Jesus character taught the jews the most important tenets of the law. Stoning people for not keeping sabbath makes no meaning in today's world or burning the promiscuous daughter of a priest alive is a barbaric law.
If we follow Jesus, we can just live by his moral teachings, and we do not need the law and the system it was meant to govern.

Your other points about sin sacrifice are not the major reasons jesus himself gave for coming into the world. This is the reason the Jesus character himself gave:

And even the son of man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Mark 10v45.

The crowd hailed Jesus as King when he rode on a donkey in Jerusalem. The Jewish leaders became scared that if it continued that way and the Romans hear about these things, the Romans would come into their land to destroy so many in the nation ( who have now become disciples of Jesus). It was therefore fitting that Jesus alone ( one man) should die than for this mass destruction in the city in the search for those who proclaimed Jesus as new King of the Jews. Jesus was delivered to the Romans, and he gladly became a Ransom to the Romans in order to spare his followers who continued with his message. The message we hear today all around the world even though a lot has probably been corrupted down the centuries.

And he said to them, I have told you I am he. If you seek me, let these ones go their way.
John 18v8

If you study the gospels well, you would see that Jesus was also scared for his disciples and beckoned on them several times to pray so that they too would not fall into temptation. He prayed to God to preserve them.

He was quick to present himself to the Roman guards who came to arrest him, saying: I am he, let these men go.

Stop getting played by different philosophers in the good book

As old as human existed, there are people who support jungle justice and there are those who don't(even in same area). But the constant there is "justice"


It still exists till today. So when the biblical Jesus frowns at jungle justice, it isn't a new thing.
Hope you got that Africans!

Abagworo:
Getting pictures of bad road and then making it an issue of politics is quite wrong. The aim of most people that post images of bad roads on social media is to bring attention of the authorities to them and not to abuse the Governor or President. There have been Governors in Imo State since 1914 therefore you cannot single out any particular one for indictment.

You wouldn't really blame people in a country alien to development. Primitivity is at work; (What I call the elastic limit of tribal/political jibes)

MrGerald:
Story, that road is in the village, go around rivers you'd see worst

If not for social media eeh

But Nigeria mainstream media will not tell you that you can't find slum areas in Owerri like you would find in Lagos,Ph and Even almighty Abuja

Akuruoulo:
Thats my home bro. Formal GOVERNOR IHEDIOHA WAS DOING THAT ROAD PERFECTLY BE4 THE SUPREME GOVERNOR CAME

Yaa.
But you know everyone can't be satisfied at same time and it's not like other roads in the state generally are not being attended to currently. So
the road will surely be attended to

Akuruoulo:
I GUESS THIS KIND OF ROADS OR EVEN WORST CNT BE FOUND IN THE WESTERN STATES.

Yaa...
Africans and mediocre comparison.
We have worst roads in the west. Check that road the op posted.. at least it has a template for construction(drainage)

You see why I say Africans are a special type of continent

UOBEN:
Eastern state has one the worst road networks in Nigeria..yet we carry Tinubu and Yoruba matter for head..me I believe every Region has its own setbacks..

Which of the Eastern states have you been to?

This is nothing short of civility in passing
a message to the concerned authorities. So it should be encouraged. Those laughing ignorantly show how much primitive the African mind is.

Owerri still remains the most beautiful city at least for South East. Quote me anywhere

Ken4Christ:
You are invariably saying that you don't believe in Christ for he brought the gospel of grace.

You see. Shifting goal post again. I bring facts you bring the blame game for what you don't fully understand as an African (I presume)

Ken4Christ:
Grace is not a license to sin. The advantage it has over the era of the Law of Moses is opportunity to ask for forgiveness and make right your wrong.

If not for grace, the woman caught in the very act would have been stoned to death.

If not for grace, one of the thief who was crucified with Christ would not have received mercy.

But grace has expiring date. One day, the opportunity given to mankind to embrace the gospel of Christ will be over and you will be doomed for life.

In other words there was no grace when biblical ananias and Sapphira were struck to death
Just for not bringing small "change" from sales. Something our people pack from the pulpit on a daily..
What you call grace by any logical reasoning had existed for as long as the world existed. Just that some people ain't lucky in getting away with whatever they do.

Queenlovely:
let the argument begin

Sorry
DOA

Just say Imo is blessed.
Don't allow Invaders pit brothers against each other

Ken4Christ:
You said nothing. Please, go back to school and read English language. You don't even know what it means to be justified.

The Scripture simply said that we are not justified by keeping the Law of Moses. What justifies is our faith in Christ Jesus. Please, stop frustrating the grace of God in your life.

If you want to keep the Law of Moses, you must keep all. I am sure that you are not even keeping the Law of Sabbath.

Those who attempt to live by the Law of Moses and don't keep all are under a curse.

Since you prefer to be under a curse, go ahead.

I am cruising on with the grace that Jesus brought. And his grace is sufficient for me.

Very funny.
But you can commit sins like adultery and still ask for forgiveness because you are justified by faith, you won't be under curse o for breaking it in the first place. But when you try obeying all the law and mistakenly break "thou shall not commit adultery", that's when you will be under curse...
Can Africans hear themselves?

MaxInDHouse:
As you're also typing in African dialect!

Simple question. Is that Yoruba.? Before you turn this one too to those abstract stuff

MaxInDHouse:
Butter kìí se oúnje lágídò.
It's FAITH, not a possession of all kinds of people! 2Thessalonians 3:2

What a foreigner told a Nigerian friend
Is that Yoruba dialect?

MaxInDHouse:
The everlasting punishment is another topic that you need to learn before you can grasp it's meaning, but whether you avail yourself to learn or not millions have vowed to be his disciples and live their lives for him, you worth noting more than mere dust {Genesis 3:19} so you can keep your soul to yourself! Matthew 10:28

Another avenue to add one and two as usual

MaxInDHouse:
According to the book he will come with angels {Matthew 25:31} so is it the humans who will be separated that will do the judging work or the angels? Matthew 25:46
Just ask us, we will TEACH you what our book says {Matthew 28:20} we will keep our calm while JEHOVAH use Jesus and his angels to do the needful! Exodus 14:14 compare to Isaiah 30:15

I know where you are driving at but the context is still not the same. The enemies in Luke will be killed, while in mathew, they will suffer everlasting punishment. It's nothing short of fictional

MaxInDHouse:
According to the book he will come with angels {Matthew 25:31} so is it the humans who will be separated that will do the judging work or the angels? Matthew 25:46
Just ask us, we will TEACH you what our book says {Matthew 28:20} we will keep our calm while JEHOVAH use Jesus and his angels to do the needful! Exodus 14:14 compare to Isaiah 30:15

According to Luke, you should kill his enemies before him

MaxInDHouse:
Go and tell them out there that Alexander never walked this earth and see how many will agree with you. As for Jesus JWs across the globe are WITNESSES of the fact {Act 1:8} that there was a Wonderful Counselor {Isaiah 9:6} who taught them how to drop harmful weapons when all the others can't find any tangible reason why they keep killing one another! Isaiah 2:2-4

Who also instructed people to bring his enemies and kill them
Luke 19:27

Amujale:
There was never a person who walked this Earth called Jesus Christ.

The story is solely based on fakery and falsehood.

Any person who takes time to study same book knows this

Valkan:

That's what you guys keep saying till we reach the finals

Hmmm

Wao! Nice exposé
When I studied geography in secondary school, I had wanted to be more inquisitive about longitude and latitude lines. I stumbled on a point where zero longitude meets zero latitude, then I had a rare feeling there was something hidden about the old Eastern region of Nigeria. That point was so close to the "Bight of Biafra"

bobogoat91:
How could Biafra have produced its own food when the Nigerian air planes piloted by Egyptian mercenaries subjected the farms and food producing areas in Biafra to ceaseless bombings? surely you can't be this daft.

You even have time explaining to that comedian

Coldie:
War time is the excuse until you find out that nothing gum u

Comedian.
Until you find out. Until you find out
Allow them to find out in the hard way you wish nau

Coldie:
Till today nobody can answer this question.

What do u want to restructure in the east.

The way it's beginning to clear in your eyes that restructuring is not the problem of the east, is the way it would clear in your eyes when you find out BIAFRA cant stand on its own

What other clearing of eye are you looking for when nothing has changed since 1967

You are really a comedian. I'm enjoying it

Coldie:
I have asked this question to almost every igbo restructuring agitator, once u ask them they start beating around the bush...

I ask u this right now what does south east want to restructure u can't still answer.

If you must know the only thing keeping south east in Nigeria is not resources or anything, it's just the fact that we the true Nigerians know other regions are seating back watching u fool around once the east goes west will want to go too.

Apart from that, if not for that reason Nigeria would have let u hv ur BIAFRA

I just realized you are a comedian.
"We the true Nigerians."
I can't engage you in a discussion.
