I get your point......


But it is absurd, leaving your community to another man's own to collect "Deve" not to talk of state

He was employed by Obiano. The very reason we want BIAFRA, cos even in BIAFRA, all man must answer him papa name.

Obiano will be declared an Osu when BIAFRA comes.

Yoruba Muslims

The ports in the East are only goo enough to export Crude oil, but not good enough to import the finished products. Only Lagos port is where all of Nigeria goes to get their sustenance. So if a nuclear bomb detonated at Apapa, all of us will die of hunger abi?

Show us the picture.


We want to see it.

Ok Nah

When i show you a picture of a blind beggar checking his phone, you go bow. this beggar was "blind"right until he crossed my gate into our compound, then as he set down to devour the coke and bread he bought for himself, he dipped his hands into his shokoto and fished out his phone. His "minder/help" was seated outside of the gate when this funny stuff was happening. This picture was taken by my very self inside my compound. Since then, when they pass, i am not impressed at all.

Cultism isn't always by choice. I have said it here before! This one is lucky, the let her live even as she can still identify her attackers. Most probably, it was just a warning and they will come for her again.

I will like to say something. First, i am not aversed to development, but what happens to people's memories? I will give you some examples. I vividly recall a certain route my parents took us through while returning from church as a kid, I know that route was somewhere in Aguda, but that route no longer exists anywhere in Aguda again. I am talking about 1980s.

I was going through my bossom friend's pictures on facebook sometime ago, where one of his aunts posted her throwback picture of my very own street (A picture from inside of her church and which managed to catch a glimps of the building opposite the church) That picture really brought liquid into my eyes, just looking at childhood photos i had since forgotten. Both the Church and the building opposite it still exists, but have been so renovated and re-renovated/Re(re)developed that you couldn't possibly believe they are the same as the picture.

There are so many other instances, like my Dad's apprentice whose duty sometimes was to take and bring us back from church should our parents decide to attend 10:30 mass, there was also those hangouts where he will branch with the car and treat us to coke and fanta before returning us home; just like the first instance, those places no longer exists in Aguda, but it is still our memories.

A third instance being a certain curious route my mum took when driving me to St. Catherines Yaba in the 80s, now, i almost forgot this very area if not for one landmark that was left untouched all these while, even the double lane in that road has since been reduced to a single lane with residential houses springing up all over. I used to tell myself that that route was just a dream and it never existed until i chanced upon the said landmark, and all of a sudden, i could piece together what happened over there.

Taking a look at the picture i posted below, which i got from this very thread, when i saw this picture, what my mind remembered immediately was my Aunty's house in Awada. I was there as a kid to do "little bridegroom" for them during their wedding. This buildings wont cost much to transform them into modern looking houses. You know, just change those louvers to Aluminum casement windows, re-roof with the new style of roofing with parapets, repaint, and all of a sudden, it looks like a brand new house. All the city inhabitants could do the same, and all of a sudden, the 70s and the 80s will disappear from the east. These are people's memories!! and these are what attaches people to their roots.

Once again i am not averse to development and urban renewal, and one thing that is constant is "change" otherwise, we would stagnate, but memories are what they are and are just as important. Which now brings me to my main point.

There has really been a failure of Government at all levels all these while. It doesn't mean we can't start now to do what must be done. I am talking about a 3D imaging of our cities every month that could be archived each month for posterity. Future generations can see for themselves withing the luxury of their computer screens, how the city have been transforming. I mean, you could simply do a digital walk-through of your neighbourhood of when you were a kid, even after you are 80 years of age.

I can see a whole new vista of opportunities, like a "nollywood" of some sort springing out of this new "industry". There is almost limitless applications to this, from crime fighting, to Nollywood, to History teaching, to even a form of "tales by moonlight". There would be new programmers and associated ICT infrastructure to power it up. This is a whole new idea, a gift that keeps on giving!! Our memories captured for posterity and never to be lost and forgotten.

** I forgot to add..
If Government is talking about creating jobs, they need to put some enabling infrastructure in place for things to start happening. Imagine that this my idea is implemented, Graduate programmers will not be waiting for white collar jobs. They could start developing Video games since realistic graphics are already available. Those producing will be producing, those marketing will be marketing and those playing will be playing. Our video game brands could be sold all over Africa and beyond, bringing in Forex and associated advertisements inherent in such video games.
I even see business owners paying to have their premises mapped out properly for use in such video games. Imagine playing "Grand Theft Autos -Onitsha City Stories"

.... Virtual Tourism that could lead to the real one. Onitsha boys on display meehn, the streets!! these are the kind of ideas the white man with no visible "natural resources" still use to become richer than Nigerians with "Our Oyel" mentality.

Pray for me and my friends serving here in plateau state.
I am super scared here.

No enter bus go house, dey do "i dey serve there". I have not used my University Certificate nor NYSC certificate for anything whatsoever since i got them.

Nigerians can choose between being "dominated" by the Igbos, or being "exterminated" by the Fulani.

Na to calculate the Diameter of the D wey she fit size remain.

Nigerians are the only set of people who openly do evil and openly revel in it.

It is true we accept they should also immediately ban all cow meat sellers and suya vendors in the South East, & ipob should prescribe 1 year imprisonment without fine for any Ndigbo caught patronizing the suya spot and cow meat section of the Eastern markets?

Let the boycott & agricultural trade war start today if they have any guts,let us see whether CAN & the South East can survive on goat meat alone? Empty Barrels make the loudest noise,true talk like MTN.

Don't wait for us, stop bringing Cow meat to SE.

Obi1kenobi:
I have seen nothing in the policy that suggests that ranches would only be owned by herdsmen. Why not accept the ranch funding and ensure it is Igbos that operate the ranches. After the whiny biitches will be the first to cry "marginalization" and claim the FG is not doing anything for them.

I am a full grown Igbo man and I can rightfully make d assertions having schooled and worked in Nigeria all my life;
I don't know Ojukwu, Zik, Awo, or any saduana. I wasn't born when they lived all I have of them is history and history is past, but my future I can decide.

However, I know my friends; Abdulahi ishajobi, Sule Mohammed, Morayo Banjoko, Temisola Adewale, and I can easily say these amongst others are the finest human beings I know and their tribes hasn't stopped them from being good nor doing good.
I share not in the sentiments of the present Nigeria, cos it shall not be said of me and my family, that " the fathers has eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth is set on edge ".
YOUTHS RISE ABOVE HATE!!

You have no idea how stupid you sound. Pls next time, just tell us your name is so so so and so, and not "I am a full blooded Igboman"

What is this "Status of Lagos"?

rose54321:
Please say only things you're certain about so you don't misinformation the lay man.

Even with a diplomatic passport you still need to apply for visa to enter most countries.
When you apply you can still be denied by the host country.
Diplomatic Passport isn't automatic entry. Having a diplomatic passport just has few perks like immunity when in the country, free or low visa application fee, fast visa processing, separate boarding area, etc.

So you are wrong with your assertion above.

You have not said anything different from what I have said. I never talked about Visa,and the Crux of the matter here is whether or not a diplomatic passport holder can be arrested. okay?

You guys don't seem to know what diplomatic passport is. If Atiku actually has one, he can go to America anytime he wants and no one will touch him. Highest they can do is ask him to leave their country.

But then again, his Diplomatic status could be "revoked" by the FG while he is in America and like they say, " as the yawa gas, kasala burst join".

Fulani that isn't even indigenous to Nigeria, they came from nowhere and they have become the law in another man's land.

Malaria has different types. 4 years ago, I contacted the type that nearly killed me. Please, nothing like "ordinary malaria" If you take drugs and it is not working, go to a hospital and collect bed there!!
