Ayekotoo: Igbos equate pidgin English as the real English. A little look at media houses will make you bow your head in shame. how many igbos are columnists, editorials, presenters, broadcasters compare to the yorubas? reading champion newspaper can make someone have F9 in English language.

Ayekotoo: what has JAMB scores got to do with being educated and literate? All tertiary schools in Ogun outnumber Southeast tertiary schools combined. what does that tell you?

Ayekotoo: This is pointless!


How many igbos are barbers? moreover, I typed that to rubbish your perspection about Igbos are more entrepreneurial



if this is true, how come ebonyi state trumps Anambra in term of IGR or is Ebonyi not a typical Igboland? like someone said, its either your leaders have failed woefully in discharging their duties or they are milking your revenues dry.


someone had responded to this



most of the people that own mansions live in outside igboland but only come home occasionally to use them. they are always empty but fill during festive season

St_Black: @MajeMedia

I wouldnt faulr your posts as to A REASONABLE EXTENT, It looks true.

However, what I just see as faulty in your theories here is the motive behind them. ! . A good government, irrespective of the mantle of expectations & responsibilities that is required of it by its people, must show its qualities of "good" through the delivery of the adequate standard of welfare & good life that the people of a nation (or the government) are entitled to OR should boast of.

That the people of a nation or government do not actively depend or rely on the government IS NO EXCUSE for the government to be a Nonentity.

Be it Socialist or Republican, or whatever character & way of life the people of a country may portray, Its Government must be Reliable. !!!

The BITTER truth here is:

I'm sorry if you feel offended, but I just have to put it straight that the Government/Leaderships in Igboland are the BEST examples of the WORST kind of governments that ever occured in human history. !! .

But please hope you remember that "the home of the people IS the picture of the people themselves. "

The reason for been Republicans is the reason why your homes are what they are today

...Also, the reason why we Yorubas are Socialists is the reason why our homes are what they are today.

MY 2 cents. !

ChinoElects:
You missed some points. How is Enugu and Imo outperforming Anambra infra-structurally? Are you deceived by the comestics done only in the state capital or what exactly.

Anambra surpasses all those states you mentioned on road infrastructures that traverses the entire state and communities not just the urban center and state capital.

Omo_Tier1: Show me one school in Anambra that looks like this:

Ayekotoo: in as much as I like your write-up and analysis but its highly biased.
yorubas are great entrepreneurs. infact, they are the largest entrepreneurs in Nigeria.
Yorubas are the largest welders, barbers, carpenters, butchers, hairdressers, artists, bricklayers, plumbers, traders, mechanics, vulcanizers et all in the country, these can be seen from their associations' executives in nigeria. These are just semi and unskilled professions. in other hand, igbos exp their men are the largest importers in nigeria. They just love importing anything whether good or bad due to the numbers of their ignorance for economy.

Sloan: You are obviously deliberately spinning the debate and topic in your self-chosen direction to satisfy your ego and come up with justification for the abysmal economies of Ibo SE states. That said, those buildings in Yoruba land were built in the 1700 - 1800s, MOSTLY! The Yorubas lived in urbanized settlements by the 1800s, go and check history! You therefore cannot compare those houses to the ones built by Ibos in the 1970 - 2000s! You already know that Yorubas outnumber Ibos in Nigeria alone by not less than 5 - 10 M but what you fail to mention is our cities are far bigger than Ibo cities! If you go to Ogunpa to go and take sample pictures to post on NL but you ignore that the first churches in those areas were built in the 1800s! You ignore Bodija, Oluyole, Basorun, Agbowo, Oju-Irin, Iwo Road, Idi-Ape, Jericho, Dugbe, Ashi, etc to post pictures from Ogunpa and Agbeni does not mean those places don't exist but you actually seek to misinform your fellow Ibos who prefer to hear and see the type of misinformation you posted!

akins56: Enugu has highest crime rate -Report
DECEMBER 12, 2013 BY KAMARUDEEN
OGUNDELE, ABUJA
1 Comment
A civil society organisation, the National
Working Group on Armed Violence, has
released a report which indicates that
“Enugu has the highest incidence of crime
in the country.”
The report released on Thursday in Abuja
entitled, ‘The violent road: An overview of
Armed Violence in Nigeria’, lamented that
armed violence had damaged the economic
and social wellbeing of Nigerians.
Presented by the chairperson of the group,
Mimidoo Achakpa, the report reviewed
impacts of armed violence on Nigeria with
focus on 18 states in the six geopolitical
zones and the Federal Capital Territory.
It stated that the North Central region had
some of the highest national levels of
violence with communal militias being
involved in over 40 percent of political
violence and over 73 percent of conflict
related fatalities.
The NWGAV blamed porous borders within
the North East zone for the influx of
weapons from different countries.
The report revealed that “the South South’s
conflict was inextricably linked to oil
exploration; that armed violence in the
South West largely manifests in the form of
political violence; that across the nation
there are frequent and often under-
reported clashes between nomads and
indigenes.”

ENUGU—The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar, yesterday, declared that Enugu State has the lowest crime rate in the country, explaining that this fact was buttressed by statistics and empirical evidence.

Abubakar, who spoke while taking delivery of 100 brand new vehicles donated to the police by Enugu State government, stated that this was largely a result of the tremendous support that the administration of Governor Sullivan Chime had been giving the police and other security agencies.

He said: “Today, I can confirm, as the Inspector-General of Police, that Enugu State has the lowest crime rate in Nigeria. I also confirm that Enugu is one the safest places in Nigeria. This is the result of the wonderful partnership between the Enugu State Government, the Police and other security agencies.”

He commended Governor Sullivan Chime for the gesture, saying it was an example that his colleagues should emulate.

He said: “I commend you (Chime) for this gesture. This is a shining example for your colleagues to emulate. This is a practical demonstration that you love and care for your people and you understand what it takes to provide security of lives and property”.

” he said.

The Inspector General said the latest donation of vehicles by the government was unprecedented in the sense that it included both patrol vans and sedans (saloon cars) adding that it fell in line with the new policy objective of his administration to move away from vans as is the practice in the advanced countries.

He also praised Governor Chime for has massive road development programme in the state, noting that the provision of streetlights on the major roads of Enugu metropolis was of great assistance to the police in their war against crime in the state.

Alhaji Abubakar promised that with the vehicles, “a new brand of policing would commence in Enugu State because police officers would be adequately trained in the use of the vehicles.”

Noting that the gesture was a challenge to the police, he charged officers and men of the Enugu State Police command to use the vehicles only for their stated purposes to rid the state of criminals and warned that any abuse or misuse of the vehicles by the officers will be sanctioned.

Earlier, while presenting the vehicles, consisting of 50 patrol vans and 50 cars, Governor Sullivan Chime remarked that it had been the policy of his administration to partner the police to maintain security.

He disclosed that the vehicles were provided in partnership with local government councils and were fully equipped with modern communication gadgets. The Governor added that the saloon cars would be used for patrols within the metropolis while the vans were to cover inter-government routes and the borders.

The governor said that his government was determined to ensure that the people will feel the presence of the police wherever they are and in the event of any incidence of crime, the police will appear within five minutes of receiving any alarm or emergency notice.

It would be recalled that Chime’s administration had over the past six years variously donated over one hundred patrol vans to the Police and other security agencies in the state.
