MelesZenawi:
Remove Umahi from that list.

He is a media Governor.

Sullivan Chime did well likewise Obi.

Nnamani is a disaster... ugwuanyi had out performed him.

All these people shouting remove Dave Umahi are just envious of his giant strides. In fact, Umahi will make a fine Igbo president.

It is Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State

Ebonyi state is a cursed land. Igbos rejected ebonyi state and dashed it out to herdsmen because igbos don't consider ebonyi people as igbos.

Ebonyi people are almajiri-igbos, they are 3rd class igbos.

Ebonyi is cursed. Just look at their equivalent of Niger bridge and mainland bridge

Ebonyi is cursed meanwhile their village governor is busy deceiving them with disco light in abakaleke village. Ebonyi people are not igbos. Ebonyi is almost 100% illiterates.

Where's Anago0147 ?

1. It is your ancestors that are cursed, which is what is manifesting in you.
2. Your type is not even happy with our governor's disco light and you would probably be heartbroken should sth drag your cursed self to Abakaliki, because you would not only be amazed but be transfixed at how far Abakaliki has gone infrastructure-wise. Pls mind your god forsaken and cursed state and leave Ebonyi matter for Ebonyians as we are very pleased with our governor's disco light.
3. Abakaliki people have agreed that they are not Igbos. We are from Kaduna... sorry..... Plateau State. Make Ebonyiphobia kee u there.
4. If not for your 100% illiteracy, you probably wouldn't have spewed your rubbish.

Excursion to Ebonyi?

Anya odikwa ha mma??

RIP to the dead, but isi odikwagi mma iji si na anya odikwaha mma for going to Ebonyi for excursion? Don't we wooden bridges in other parts of Nigeria? Your lot is one of the reasons Biafra will take more years to actualize. Though my governor @ Dave Umahi should do sth urgently so that more lives would not lost.

Why won't he commit suicide?

Pls can I get Motorola droid maxx screen?

Good one

Anambra and building collapse are 5 & 6

Ugwuanyi, the Enugu State governor is a colossal scam. Always deceiving Enugu people with " ENUGU IS IN THE HANDS OF GOD". Kwontinue...

bonnylight003:


No deyy mind omenka...the guy so hate igbo..but gat no choice..cos soon..he will have an igbo governor..
Even if he want make he dibia..e no stop Dem..

I don't even send them, after all, they said Ebonyians are not Igbos. I have agreed with them that Ebonyians are from Kaduna State.

murphyibiam15:

they're native umuezekonna(Ezza) people in Benue who are 100% Igbo that should have been in Ebonyi that were included in Benue..I think that's where the igbos in Benue come from, you can verify..gracias

My dear, u are very correct about Umuezeokoha Ezza of Effium in Benue State as there are also Izzi people in Benue State. In fact, half of Izzi people of Ebonyi State are trapped in Benue and Cross River States.

Abia State is a shit hole state. They should have remained under Imo state, the bigger shit hole.

Very backward set of people. Remove oil and nothing good can ever come out of Rivers state.

These are indeed the gods of automobiles

congratulations

Very backward set of people

Good one Corper

BlueRayDick:
What nonesense is happening in this RUGAslavia we call Nigeria?

So employment has turned to padi padi now. Whh can't Eboyin first class graduates take the same rigorous recruitment process along with their peers?

Like what the helll

Nepotism has been institutionalized in this country. A whole central Bank of Nigeria. Whatever arrangement Eboyin state government has with CBN is Nepotism at best.

The CBN is supposed to be an institution where every Nigerian have equal opportunities to work. Not a particular set of Nigerians from certain states.

So what happens to the first class economic graduates from other states?

If Eboyin state civil service commission had planned on taking all first class graduates and absorb them into their civil service it would've been commendable, but a Federal government institution openly endorsing Nepotism for whatever reason is not acceptable.

It is Ebonyi State and not 'Eboyin'

The booming frog business in Kaduna
tribuneonlineng.com Sep 8, 2019 1:38 AM

Frogs for sale. INSET: A frogs seller
MUHAMMAD SABIU writes on a market in Kaduna where frogs are now attracting buyers from far and near, an item that is now a delicacy in most part of the North and a clear departure from what it used to be years back.

MANY Nigerians who were in secondary school in the 70s and 80s would easily remember the novel authored by Chukwuemeka Ike entitled Toads for Supper. However, it is a delicacy that many people would not touch even with a long spoon much less having it for supper.

Long time ago, in the Northern part of the country frogs were only seen during the rainy season. Whenever it rained, just like everywhere surrounded by ponds, cacophonic sound of frogs dominated the space at night. It is most often not pleasant to the ears.

When residents wake up in the morning, they sometimes find out that some of the frogs had entered their house. It is also not uncommon to hear housewives and children raising the alarm and asking the man of the house to come and remove the amphibians from their doorstep and other parts of the compound.

A housewife, Hajiya Rabi Abdulsalam recalled to Arewa Live how as a child she and her siblings used to jump at the mere sight of a frog. “It was our father who usually removed the frog before we could continue with the house chores,” she said.

However, today, the story is different. There is a booming frog market in the Northern part of the country.

Located at Unguwar Gwari, Kaduna North area of Kaduna State, the frog market is often besieged by hundreds of youths bringing the frogs they had caught from surroundings ponds.

Investigations by Arewa Live indicated that the soaring number of the unemployed people in the country had contributed to the booming trade in frogs. It has also been discovered that some parts of the frog are medicinal and traditional healers come to the market to obtain them for their clients.

Some of the frog traders whose ages range between 26 and 34 in an interview with Arewa Live attributed their interest in the frog business to poverty.

One of the frog traders who pleaded for anonymity remarked that he was idle and having nothing to do, hence he decided to join others in the business.

“We are five in the family and we were finding it difficult to have three square meals per day,” he said adding: “when one of my siblings fell sick and nobody could pay for his medical bills it dawned on me to look for something to support my dad’s income.”

Today, according to him, the story has changed because on a daily basis, he smiles home with at least N8,000 which he uses to support his age parents.

For Felix Peter, one of those who ply their trade at the Unguwan Gwari frog market gave a graphic account on how he started the business three years ago.

According to him, “it was lack of employment that made me to start this business, and I have enjoyed it because there is big market for it all over the 19 northern states including Abuja.

“It was a difficult business for me in the beginning, but now I have become very versed in the business, because every day, I usually go to the pond to catch some frogs which I normally bring home and preserve for sale.

“After catching them from various places, we dissect and roast them, and then we package them inside the carton. We put some in some bags for sale to our marketers who usually come from various states.

“I was a mechanic before I abandoned it and joined this one. Our customers told us that frog meat is delicious and that is why we like eating it always. We sell each frog at the rate of N100, but we sell three for N200.”

Felix also told Arewa Live that through the business he has become a more responsible man by being able to take care of his wife and children. He added that he makes at least N5,000 daily and that makes him happy.

Felix however expresses fear over the issue of insecurity in the state as it indirectly affects those in the business because they are always in the bush. He therefore called on the state government to provide all the needed security in the bush.

Abubakar Shelang is also one of the frog traders. He was also into another vocation before changing to his present business. He said he had to switch business because the frog business was booming and that means more income.

“I was a bricklayer and I also repair bread mixing machines, but the business was not moving, that is why I left it and joined this one.

“We take our roasted frog meat to many places across the entire North because the demand for it is high and we are making money every day through this business. Every day I go to catch frogs. I make good money and that takes care of all my needs,” Shelang said.

He, however, called on youth to shun idleness and embrace skill acquisition and other forms of creative vocations so as to reduce dependency on their parents and guardians.

Felix also appealed to government to help them with modern equipment for catching frogs so as to overcome the challenges they face when catching big frogs and other aquatics animals in the river.

“There are millions of youths that are wasting their time looking for white-collar-jobs, but I am advising them to be creative and fight poverty,” he said.

A woman, Madam Mercy John trades in frogs. She buys them from the youths and transports them to many places across the entire north.

She has the youths to thank for the business she is into. They not only make the product available they also link her with customers from many places including some from neighbouring countries. The business of frog trading is so good for mercy such that she has built her own house in Abuja.

She is of the opinion that government should support the youth with capital so as to enlarge the business and make it more profitable. She also advocated for frog farming just like we have fish farming.

“I am calling on women like me to come and start this business so as to stop disturbing their husbands,” she said.

For many people eating frogs may sound unsavoury but for Musa Dan Auta who buys frogs from those catching them for food at home it is a familiar delicacy that he has come to love including other members of his family.

According to him, eating frog is not strange to him because he has been eating them since he was a youngster. He would like others to try it too.
