Your post is rather pathetic since you are blind not to see the sidewalks on both sidesof the road.

Building a closed gutter requires a central underground system of where the gutters would be channeled to.

you can only achieve that 100% before properties are erected. it is difficult where properties have already been erected and demolitions must occur if you want to achieve that.

Soludo is doing his best and must be given kudos.

callthefred:
You're very right though. However are you saying this is sincerely or out of hatred for Soludo because if Obi had fixed a major town like Nnewi Soludo wouldn't be needing to do that.

sulaak:
At least Peter Obi didn't waste $400 million on a monrail to nowhere like his ADC colleague Rotimi wasted on the PH monrail.

Pope Leo XIV is currently on an 11-day tour of Africa, with stops in Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea. The visit has taken him into some of the continent’s most politically and socially sensitive regions, including Bamenda in Cameroon’s troubled Anglophone zone, where separatist violence has raged for nearly a decade. The Vatican has framed the trip around themes of peace, justice, and solidarity with suffering communities.

Yet one glaring omission has not gone unnoticed: Nigeria is not on the itinerary.

For Africa’s most populous nation, home to one of the largest Christian populations on the continent and the largest Catholic population in Africa after the DRC, such an exclusion is remarkable. It is difficult to recall a major papal visit to Africa in modern times where Nigeria, often considered central to African Christianity, was entirely bypassed.

The symbolism is impossible to ignore.

While no official reason has been given for Nigeria’s omission, many observers will understandably interpret it as an indictment of the Nigerian state. A nation plagued by chronic insecurity, failed governance, and relentless persecution of Christian communities, particularly in the Middle Belt and northern regions. For years, churches have been bombed, priests kidnapped, seminarians murdered, and farming communities attacked with alarming regularity, often with little meaningful response from the federal government.

That the Pope has chosen to visit neighboring Cameroon, including conflict-ridden Bamenda, but not Nigeria, sends a message whether intended or not.

Cameroon has its own instability. Equatorial Guinea is no model democracy. Yet Nigeria, with its enormous Christian population, strategic importance, and worsening record on religious violence has been left off the list entirely.

This should be deeply embarrassing for the Nigerian political class.

A country once regarded as the “Giant of Africa” is increasingly viewed internationally through the lens of insecurity, elite corruption, and state capture and incapacity. Under successive administrations, Nigeria has normalized mass killings, communal displacement, and brazen attacks on houses of worship, while officials offer little beyond recycled talking points and empty condemnations.

One cannot help but ask:

What does it say about Nigeria’s standing when the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics visits the region but deliberately or prudently keeps his distance from Africa’s largest Christian nation?.

Whether by diplomatic caution, security calculation, or quiet protest, Nigeria’s absence from Pope Leo XIV’s itinerary is a sobering reflection of how far the country’s image has deteriorated.

The Vatican may never publicly say so. It rarely does. But actions speak louder than press statements.

A papal tour through Africa that includes Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea, but excludes Nigeria, amounts to a statement in itself.

Nigeria should not merely wonder why it was omitted.

It should reflect on what it has become.

THE FACT THAT JULIUS MALEMA BAGGED A 5-YEAR JAIL TERM FROM THE LAW COURT, SHOWS THAT SOUTH AFRICA IS A FUNCTIONING STATE WHERE THE RULE OF LAW RULES!.

IN NIGERIA, BY CONTRAST, DETERRENT LAWS ARE PROTECTIVE AND PALLIES OF THE ESTABLISHED CRIMINALS WITH INSATIABLE APPETITES, BUT ARE HARSH TO, AND SWORN ENEMIES OF THE PETTY, STRUGGLING, POOR THIEVES.

IT IS A COUNTRY WHERE THE SECURITY APPARATUSES CORDON OFF THE VENGEANCE OF LAW TO PROTECT THE HIGH-CLASS REAL CRIMINALS, SEATED AT THE HIGH TOWERS, DISPENSING POWER FROM WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT, TO INFLUENCE EVENTS ACROSS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND RELIGIOUS STRATA OF THE SOCIETY.

THEIR KINGDOMS ARE DOMICILED ACROSS ALL REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY.

INDEED, THE COUNTRY IS A KINGDOM OF THE JUNGLE!

LagosOrigin:
Sounds like something an impostor would say.

Let me tell you something you haters of South East, so many good things are happening in Igbo land this days . This set of south east governors are working so hard to outshine the other in development and we are happy.

Buhari led APC government did everything to destroy south east by God disgraced him instead.

No more sit at home in south east.

Peace has returned all around the south east region.

MrPresident1:
Eru esu means the load or property of the devil.

The enriched uranium that Iran is holding tightly to confers no strategic advantage or leverage to them. The people of Iran have been bombed, they are suffering, there is so much pain for them all because of 450kg of somethingbthst isnutterly useless. You cannot cut a piece for example and say that you want to sell to Belgium. It is not useful for any single thing in the world. It just focusses all Tue wrong ebpnergy and attention on you. By possessing eru esu , Esau will not admit you into its exclusive club of wickedness; President Trump has been very unequivocal that you will not be allowed to have nuclear bombs of mass destruction, and you will not have thst exclusiveness that belongs to only the prime nations of this satanic world.

So what use is eru esu to you?

Agree to transfer the eru esu to Russia, don't even agree to dilution. Just hand over the devil's property to his children an fee yourself from satanic yoke.

Look toward your Kurdish brethren and form a strategic no limits alliance with them in the rebirth of Medo-Persia and reclaim your pride among the nations.

This is the only way forward.

QuinQQ:
We are not talking of ancient history.
Islamists came to power 1979. That's long enough time to get your act together, NOT always trying to build nukes and hiding it

QuinQQ:
Start from the beginning. It started with Iran sponsoring terror groups, then Iran killing thousands of protesters ignoring Trump's warnings, then Iran refusing to allow UN to inspect their nuke facilities

writetopoka:
Without American this world would have ended by now.

Islamic country are just tormenting the whole world front and back

fineboynl:
After the war. Things will not remain the same for the middle east. The world have learnt a critical lessons. That region is on stable and unreliable.

America will be back for Iran after proper planing. And cutting the world dependance on the hormuz route

LagosOrigin:
Russia that couldn't defeat small Ukraine 😂😂😂

You're a clown

BlackAdam65:
Both Black and White groups at different points have tried to associate themselves with the identity of the biblical Israelites and this is not by accident There is always an underlying motive
On the part of many Western and European groups this identification has often been reinforced through religion and later politics This even extended to the establishment of a modern state built around that historical and religious identity However from a historical and genetic standpoint the situation is not that straightforward Many modern Israelis especially those of European origin have mixed ancestry due to centuries of migration conversion and intermarriage during the Jewish diaspora So it is inaccurate to present them as having a completely direct and unchanged lineage from the ancient inhabitants of the land
On the other hand some Black narratives claim that the Middle East is essentially an extension of Northeast Africa and that the original Israelites were Black Africans before Arab expansion While this argument is popular in some circles mainstream archaeology historical records and genetic studies do not support the idea that the ancient Israelites were sub Saharan Africans They were Semitic people indigenous to the Levant
Evidence from genetics and archaeology consistently shows that many present day Middle Eastern populations Arabs and other indigenous groups retain significant ancestral continuity with ancient Levantine populations including groups closely related to the Israelites This suggests that they are to a large extent descendants of the original inhabitants of that region even though like all human populations they have experienced some level of admixture over time
At its core the motivation behind these competing claims often goes beyond history It is rooted in the desire to associate ones group with a chosen or divinely favored identity which can then be used directly or indirectly to assert a sense of superiority or special status
The reality however is more complex No modern group can legitimately claim exclusive pure or untouched descent from the biblical Israelites Human history is marked by migration mixture and cultural exchange making such absolute claims difficult to sustain under serious scrutiny

Parachoko:
How's Atiku more competent than Asiwaju?

What's Atiku saying he will do that Asiwaju has not done?

Nastrademus:
This is a good development but the project should be handled by an independent foreign contractor, don't give the money to the government else they'll embezzle it

BlackAdam65:
one question are you a Christian?

BlackAdam65:
this show the UV rays is not high enough to make someone's skin tone as dark as us Africans so how can the ancient Israelites be black
