The soap doesn't wash all the microns of dirt from the body. Rubbing cotton wool dipped in methylated spirit on just washed body will still should some dirt.

PROUDIGBO:
^^^Inasmuch as there have been concerted efforts over the decades by the Bastards that've controlled gov't at the centre to deny Ndigbo an enabling economic environment that will give us the tools to develop and improve our lot, i'm of the opinion that -the pitfalls and diabolical scheming notwithstanding- we ought have progressed far better in all indices than is presently the case.

What we as a people have done is to rest on our battered oars, and be content with progressing at a pace dictated by the centre: a centre that until recently didn't give two shi*ts about tapping into the relative strengths of the human and material resources that abound in the region. I'm no Nostradamus but i can tell you for nothing that this nonsense WILL CONTINUE for as long as we collectively refuse to take our destiny in our hands, and chart a developmental course driven, managed and funded mainly by Ndigbo at home and in diaspora.

We have not been too bright (putting it mildly) in electing Sons/Daughters into public office that have the vision, zeal and mental capacity to take their respective constituencies to a higher enviable level. Of the five states in the South East, i can honestly say (and i'm entitled to my opinion) that i have a positive feeling for the state leadership in only two (Imo and Enugu), and i'm sure any nuetral observer will agree with me. The rest states just seem to have clueless gov'ts that haven't got the faintest idea how to manage and bring out the best in their people/resources. They seem to have no vision on where to take their states and it seems they ran for office just to be called 'Your Excellency'.

Also, our representatives in Assembly and Federal Gov't seem to be there just for what they can get out it, and it seems they're afraid to take the President to task on promises yet unfulfilled: like the Onitsha River Port that we were told would be commissioned in Oct' last year. Yet you hear of private and gov't projects being planned and commissioned almost on a fortnightly basis in other regions.

One of our problems seems to be the fact we don't have a 'leader'; someone that can knock heads together, tell it as it is and get things done; someone that would enable us think and speak with one voice, with everyone pulling in one direction.

Oh well!!! God dey.

This is over 10 years ago. Man, you are a prophet.

Very good tips.

I will add, Gbagada under bridge. I have been attacked there some years back around 9:00pm.

Wetin concern the old professor. He is just baying the moon and so needlessly.

Tunde835:
My ancestors didn't flock to your region to prevent Biafra. They stopped your troops at Ore in ondo state while they were headed towards Lagos.

what was Adekunle / Obasanjo doing in the east during the war.

Why is APC so bent on scattering LP with Abure and apapa?

Because they know they will fail if Peter Obi is on the ballot.

Very true. It would be a political blood bathe

geoworldedu:
Roben and Ribery look like Robbery and Bribery to me, lol.

Those two combined can be quite dangerous

Akpakomiza2:
Arsenal met Bayern last year

...and lost

Arsenal probably has a chance if Bayern is out of the way.

They know how to roast Arsenal especially during the days of Roben and Ribery

This is a childish critic of Peter Obi. Obi's made a bold and loud impact.

His political opponents will go to any length to discredit him.

Hope he has a plan B

When will our stupid compatriots come to recognition

This man behaves like a child.

It is very convenient and also putting food on the table of their opponents. There is no other reason. But it will end one day without any Igbo begging for it to end.

CyrusVI:
Its about the Northern votes, wetin carry Sophisticated People enter the Convo

You're just being your Igbo-self. Kachi, stay obsessed

Where tribe come enter this matter, my friend.

For the sophisticated ones I imagine it will be horrifying to contemplate Obi winning the 2027 election.

it's still passable but was more like a death trap. And you can easily get stuck on the road, so some people prefer using water to through Oron to Uyo.

But the government has started working on the road since 3 or 4years ago and much has not really been done though...

Thanks for this information. Between 2016 to 2018 I was involved in a pipeline project between Calabar and Creek Town. So, my residence was in Calabar, and I frequently made trips between Uyo and Calabar. The road was still good at that time, and I must say one of the safest roads in Nigeria. You can pass the road at any time without any issues.

jUeLiZ:
I remembered paying N500 from Calabar to Uyo during this time.

Now from Calabar to Uyo is N6500.

😭 😭 😭

Is the road still passable.

I heard the only route is through Oron and make the rest of the journey by boat.

SamIkenna:
Hmm ok. But I do not think there's any new info in the intel leak. Umunna, War is war. We lost, they won, so let the victors enjoy. This is their time, ours will come someday and maybe in my lifetime. Who knows, perhaps our time is unfolding as we speak. Umunne m, were eze guo ire onu.

I have read this gist before, but I don't believe it.

PDPdestroyer:
Abaribe knows his people too well, that’s why he keeps winning without any tangible constituency project to his name. He knows his people only adore chronic bigots and despise those Ibo politicians who are known to be moderate.
That’s why the likes of Ojukwu, Nnamdi Kanu, Obi, Abaribe, etc are hero-worshipped despite no significant legacy to their name while the likes of Rochas, Umahi and Soludo are despised.
Ibos lives depend and survive on hate and bigotry rather than food and oxygen

We love Rochas the way you love OBJ and co

Humphrey Nwosu was remarkable considering that his idea of option A4 made Abiola possible. With Option A4 Humphrey Nwosu beat the army generals in their game. Without Option A4 there will be no stolen mandate in the first place. So, Humphrey has his place in history as the man who created a flawless electoral process that sent the army back to their barracks. I know that history will remember him; even place him higher in time to come. He is immortalized already.

helinues:
This bill won't scale through

Why creating a new political office when the current ones are not yet to be felt?

That's backdoor proposal by the opposition

Think about the future. One day Tinubu will leave office.

No one knows the balance of the power equation; what it will be years to come.

Bicameral legislature (Nigeria's Version) is a too expensive and adds little or no value.

Commentor:
Why is it that some people would not be happy with this development?

This stupid mindset will also pass.

Decidetolive:
The first thing is to take Akpabio out as SP then impeach the Emilokan asap

Which can never happen under this dispensation

Pat Utomi Professorship is questionable

Shebi you have nothing better to say

Is it too difficult to obtain information nowadays. A simple search will show that Orient Oil is the company prospecting / engaged in production of Oil & gas in Anambra State. Though information is scanty with respect to their current operations. Who knows if they are still operating or not.

TheBillyonaire:
Having gone through historical knowledge of how Natashawo seduced and manipulated Akpabio to win over a $100 million dollars worth of contract at NDDC, a contract she and now husband never qualified for, and a 7 billion naira jezebel con job using her seductress strategy, I can say that this woman is one of the best female Iscariots in modern History,

Akpabio is actually the victim. He thought that by enriching this woman, and giving her access to power, that her pussy will always be oiled for his Annang strong dick, but he had no idea that this Jezebel was the Devil's arrangement towards his destiny.

Only his maturity and emotional management has helped him escape this bitch of a woman and every man should be careful of any chinese looking woman.

Will it be wrong grammar to say that 'her wife' can not keep her in check? Her fight with Akpabio is to ensure that she does not give that pussy to Akpabio, which he clearly deserves. And I have no idea why Akpabio did not fucck her before giving such contract to the so called husband.

Nnamdi Kanu should have as subtle, then our compatriots will think a bit to understand him.

KnowAll:
There are ungoverned places in this country move this military installation to such places like Zambezi forest, lake chad and by the border of sokoto and Niger republic.

What is Bonny camp doing in the middle of VI Lagos a prime land occupied by military installation have you ever seeing an army barracks in the middle of time square New York.

We need to send all military installation to far flung ungoverned places not in the middle of town.

Wherever you move them to will eventually become urban in future.
