This is one of the concrete evidences that Papa Awolowo was a patriotic and visionary leader God blessed us with. Apparently, if Bomadi could be this undeveloped, now imagine how difficult it would be to access the place yet Papa Awolowo remembered them and practically took government presence there.
Despite all the lies concocted against him, even in death, he has used posterity to judge those his enemies. I pray that Asiwaju will carry on with Papa's legacy.
Sun re, Oko Dideolu, Baba Wole, Baba Tokunbo, Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo (I am going to listen to that evergreen Ebenezer Obey's album dedicated to Papa Awolowo right away) .Awooooooo! Awolowo!!

You are another deluded Edoid.

"In Enugu State, Nsukka people behave more like their Benue neighbors, While in Anambra Northern they behave more like Igala, Also in Abia state Sub groups close to Cross river adopted Cross river culture, even in my mother's Clan "Arochukwu" they speak Efik, Ibibio, Ekoi and Igbo, they have Ekpe and Ekpo "

It's obvious that "they" the writer was referring to are Igbo speaking groups at the borders of Igboland territories with non Igbo speaking people, he gave examples of Nsukka and Aros.

Only a deluded Edoid would interpret his use of "they" in the case of Anambra North zone, to mean non Igbo speaking Igala settlements there, when it's obvious he was talking about Igbo speaking groups with Igala influence.

@ bolded how about writing it in your cursed language?, all these katakata because Yoruba no gree play opposition again?'
History ranked your fore fathers as the best in the business of akobata of Hausa-Fulani, i guess Yorubas understudied your fore fathers and now
doing it, they learned the best YOUR FOUR FATHERS.
From the grand master Akobatas Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ekwueme, to worthless akobatas like Chukwumerije, Arthur Nzeribe, Daniel Kanu...... the list is endless you want me to sit down and dig more names for you?.
In fact history has that it your entire council of elder in your enclave decided to FORM THEMSELVES INTO( AGIP ), ANY GOVERNMENT IN POWER JUST TO SERVE AS THE OBEDIENT SERVANTS TO THEIR ONE AND ONLY MASTERS, HAUSA-FULANI.
I will stop here, if you use Yoruba language to post TRASH about Yoruba do it YOUR LANGUAGE OR ENGLISH, or shall come back to whip you into the line again.

Igboid:
And where did he speak anything about the Igalas in the Anambra Kogi border? But you rushed to tell us about that, like we don't already know.

You Edoids should mind your own business and stay away from Igbo matters.

Igboid:
And this is supposed to be a new information?

Get out! Towns like Ossomala, Nzam, Obeagwe, etc are proud Igbos, yet with Igala influences, that's what the writer was alluding to.

Why is it that you cursed edoids can't stay off Igbo matters?

SUNNYsparkle:
At what time did Agbor indigenes start answering Igbo names like Emeka and Chukwu Ebuka, having names of towns and villages as Agbor nta, Ali prefixes in. their villages names, Ekuku etc. Why is Agbor dialect mutually understandable to the. Ishiagu's, Akaeze's of Ebonyi and some Nsukka people. You wrote Bini phrases as Ika but that's not Ika, there was an Obi of Agbor before inferiority complex made you change it to Dein. And to sum it up in your write up, You rightly and deemed it fit to describe or is it call Ika "Proto Igbo - Bini". Now for your information, that your subgroup of Ika is close to Bini doesn't make you Bini. In Enugu State, Nsukka people behave more like their Benue neighbors, While in Anambra Northern they behave more like Igala, Also in Abia state Sub groups close to Cross river adopted Cross river culture, even in my mother's Clan "Arochukwu" they speak Efik, Ibibio, Ekoi and Igbo, they have Ekpe and Ekpo societies, they make use of Cross River Nsibidi sign language and have a Powerful monarchy similar in pattern as those of the Calabar areas. That doesn't make them Cross River people. You just exposed yourself that you are a foreigner in Agbor. The last time I checked Ika is not Edoid Culture/Language area but Igboid, so go back to Edoid since you are from there. Edoid doesn't include Igboid culture/language area. Teacher don't teach us rubbish!!!

Good afternoon,one of the Greenland Estate gate is beside Finishing Touches and the second one is opposite Readington School, Olokonla. It is not close to Mr. Biggs junction.
Thank you

darelar:
this response is coming late. There's concrete jetty in Iwopin, the distance from Iwopin to Epe is less than an hour with speed boat and about 2 hours with big local boat of about 100 and above passenger. I don't know the distance from epe to Otta through waterway. There's nice motor road from ijebu Ode through benin Ore express road by J4 junction. The river depth is ok as Ship's do come to the town when the paper company was still functioning be FG sold it. If you're into fish business, you can make better money from there as the do supply Ijebu Ode and Epe with fish. If you also want to do garri Ijebu business, that's a good place to get the product also.

Calabar, Oct 12, (THEWILL) - Nigeria’s politicians of note have continued to identify with Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State and commiserate with him over the death of his mother, Mrs. Comfort Imoke.

Among those who called on Monday to condole with him at the Governor’s Lodge, Calabar, were the 2nd Republic Senate President, Senator Joseph Wayas (GCON) and the Chairman Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and leader of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South-South, Chief Tony Anenih.

Wayas, who called earlier, remarked that there are always two days in a man’s life and that he can testify that losing a mother is one of the most painful things in any body’s life, adding that "Mama is gone but her warmth shall live for ever" and thanked God that she lived old enough to see the fruit of her labour.

The elder statesman wished she should have stayed a bit longer but condoled Imoke that he should take heart as he has grown older while his mother had achieved her purpose on earth, explaining that he called personally, on behalf of himself, wife and members of his family, because the death is a great loss to the state as words sent through a letter would not be enough to express the grief.

Responding, Governor Imoke on behalf of the Imoke family, described Wayas as a distinguished leader of Nigeria noting that his visit and kind words would go a long way to soothe their feelings as they go through this period of bereavement while thanking God for the life of their mother.

Imoke said they would take comfort and solace from the visit which was a reflection of the life she lived and promised to keep him informed of the obsequies.

Chief Anenih said though there was no notice of her illness, he was happy that she lived a fulfilled life and that she brought up her children in an honourable manner, stating that it is the wish of every parent that their children should bury them.

Adding that she had a respectable person like Governor Liyel Imoke as son and that he is one of the two persons people always look up to for solutions when national issues are discussed, which he attributed to the upbringing he received from his mother.

The one time Minister of Works under President Olusegun Obasanjo as well as former Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) PDP, who was accompanied by a two time Military Governor and former Minister of Defense, General Godwin Abbey, assured Imoke that they were behind him in his period of grief and that he should be informed of every detail of the obsequies to enable him brief President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that he expressed the sympathy of the leaders of South-South, leaders of Edo State and Abuja.

Governor Liyel Imoke in his response, described the visit as special because his mother was from Edo State and that the condolence from his in-laws was gratifying for the family because it is family and friends that give them the strength to bear the irreparable loss.

He thanked them for the visit and support and requested that they continue to keep the family in their prayers and that the Almighty should receive her souls.http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/36201/wayas-anenih-condole-with-imoke-over-mothers-demise.html

Another yorubaa mercenary as Sen Akpabio said. Cross River and Akwa Ibom( Ibibio means a part of Igbo) are the biggest supporter of Igbo in SS...I know as I'm from there. So stop your divisive nonsense...leave us alone yorubba! Yorubba leave us alone!

uduak2016:
Op....well said. This is why I dedicate my account to attacking them every day because I'm aware of their propaganda mercenary tendencies to disrupt other regions as Sen. Akpabio said. Most of them don't even know that former governor of Cross River Lyel Imoke is an Igbo man from Igbo speaking part of Cross River state. He even married an Igbo woman from Enugu. Yoruba...your time is over!

OP...most of the likes are always from the same person with 15-20 monikers...like user below called Hundredhunndred. Watch how he will reply me now and then use their other monikers to like it to gain sympathy for likes...all the likes came within a minute of his posting, how is that possible if not the same person? Sick people!

7lives:
You mean Cross rivers and Akwa Ibom were also left undeveloped during GEJ'S tenure?, hope you remember a certain man named DONALD DUKE in Cross Rivers and another one called AKPABIO in Akwa Ibom.
Comparing an EFIK/IBIBIO WITH AN IJAW IS LIKE COMPARING A FERRARI WITH KEKE NAPEP, no wonder things are the way they are.

Yes the peace agreement I meant was the Aburi agreement. You can imagine the level of acrimony that was around to necessitate Ojukwu and Gowon meeting outside Nigeria. Whatever account you heard about Aburi, the most important thing which everyone will agree on is that an agreement was signed by Gowon and Ojukwu in front of the then president of Ghana, General Ankrah. Now you said that Ojukwu got 80% of what he wanted? Yes this is true. He got it on paper in Aburi, Ghana. He did not get in reality in Nigeria. Do you know why Ojukwu declared Biafra? Ojukwu declared Biafra because Gowon broke the cardinal rule of the Aburi agreement rendering the entire agreement useless. The Aburi agreement stated that Gowon would not change the confederal structure of Nigeria agreed in Ghana unless all four Military Governors of the four regions also agreed. It didn't matter if three of them agreed, all four must and had to agree. On the 27th of May 1966, Gowon violated this agreement by announcing the abolishment of the 4 regions and the creation of 12 states. Gowon acted in direct contravention of the agreement he signed because Ojukwu never agreed to repealing the regions. In response, Ojukwu declared Biafra 3 days later. Ojukwu never got what he negotiated and signed in Ghana.

PenSniper:
You mean i don't know Nigerian history a la Ibo propaganda you mean ?

Hello Pal, i was a living witness of all that happened in Nigeria right from the time of "weti e" in the SW to the end of the war. I kept myself abreast of the goings-on by avidly listening to our wonderful WNBS through another of our unique asset of those days, thank to the great Awolowo, called the Redifusion as well as reading the "Daily Times".

PenSniper:
The fact you need to ponder upon is- is regionalism synonemous with unitary system of government ?
As of the time Gowon took over, the regions existed without their powers of autonomy which had been taken away by decree 34.
Isn't it funny that so far you are the only one i know of that has ever denied the import of decree 34 by Ironsi ?

AdiscoPele:
I appreciate your sincere contributions and i wont argue with you concerning the number of deaths on the federal side since you are only concerned about the biafran 'propaganda'.

What we are trying to say is that Ojukwu new, as a senior officer in the army, before the war that millions of souls will be lost because he was ill prepared. The deaths could have been avoided.

Let me ask you a question, Azikiwe, Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello fought for Nigerians independence right. Ahmadu Bello was killed in a coup by young Igbo soldiers, Awolowo was at the front of the situation trying to queel the civil war. Please, where was Azikiwe all through the civil war. Why didn't anyone hear of his contributions to ending the war.

Your people should stop being ungrateful to a man who stood for your fathers when there own ran away.

I have never heard any Igbo youth mention Zik or when call him a coward. That I believe is because the stories told by your elders never mentioned him, and no one has the guts to ask.

To the 20pounds issue, note that most Igbos who had accounts in Nigerian banks withdrew all their savings before going back to the east. Let your elders be sincere with you for once.

gidgiddy:
The OP made so many mistakes:

He said Ojukwu started a war: How could Ojukwu have started a war when it was Gowon that came down to east to start fighting?

He said that Ojukwu executed people like Victor Banjo, Ifeajuna, Alale and Mr Abam for opposing him: I would suggest to him to find a book called 'No place to hide: crises and conflicts inside Biafra' by Ben Odogwu. In this book he will read the ful text of how these four men were tried for plotting to topple Ojukwu and how they were secretly recorded planning their coup.

He said that Ojukwu didn't consult anyone before declaring Biafra when it is a historical fact that it was the Eastern Nigeria consultative assembly which was comprised of all the representatives and Chiefs of of the 20 provinces that made up former the eastern region that mandated Ojukwu to declare the Eastern region a separate country on 29th May 1967.

The OP said that Ojukwu rejected aid for his suffering people. Ojukwu never rejected foreign aid. What Ojukwu rejected was Gowon trying to control the distribution of the aid.

Ojukwu may have been highanded, brash and condescending but it was war situation. Hardley the time to be Mr nice guy.

The OP also failed to take into account that over 50,000 easterners were slaughtered in broad daylight and that Ojukwus signed a peace agreement in Ghana with Gowon which Gowon decided not to honour.

Ojukwu did what he had to do to protect his people and I commend him for standing up to fight northern Nigerian hegemony at a time when all others decided to be cowards and submit themselves to Nothern slavery.
