Germi9:
Bastard
You don’t know nothing,afterall you are a true reflection of your government (cluelessness)

So instead of you to appreciate me for enlightening you instead you restorted to insult.

Read this article to eschew your ignorance

dorodee:
Hmmm, trains "Made in china"

Apart from Japan.Any modern train is made in China regardless of where you see them.

Do you know what South Africa are using Chinese train? Do your research

Germi9:
I said it,nothing good can come from the Chinese except substandard stuffs, covered with fancy paintings and decorations…i knew these trains can never stand the test of time,i recommend Russia kind of locomotives which are strong and durable but my people say dem want cheapatiko wey dey run belle

mumu
Russian locomotive are built by China.
they gave you what you requested for

captainamiedi1:
we go owe china tire. i nor kwn how we want take pay back the loan with these kind train. but wait nor be china give us the loan?? China is a bigger criminal in Africa

that's the one we can afford bro
goto South Africa, Nairobi, Egypt and northern Africa and see the kind of train and railway China installed for them

the nature of soil in China can it grow cassava?

princemedico:
Why do you think so?
I don't think Maduka ever had a chance. The guy has nothing to offer, he is just a social media politician.
Also, politics aside; when you listen to the guy during interview you will deduce that he is just a noisemaker. No idea or plan to govern just unnecessary fanfare.

You calling him a noisemaker is testament to the fact that apparently you haven't been to orumba south or bereft of his developmental strides

like1:
I was thinking same too about Mmaduka, but then I just heard he is a pentecostal was thinking he is a Catholic, not Catholic nor Anglican. This really matters a lot in Anambra, those at the grass-root know this but you won't see people saying this on social media.

Pdp denied him the ticket and put him far behind to avoid court cases because of this, all the parties know that being a Catholica or Anglican is the first criteria to win election in Anambra.

He has built 2 Catholic churches and 1 Anglican church in his town

shankara7:
All of you expressing pity for Maduka are jokers. The money he spent was budgeted to be spent and has no effect on him.

no mind them...
I am sure he didn't spend more than 100million.


This maduka has build roughly 120km of road in Umuchukwu ,biggest hospital in south south/south east among other developmental projects

WhatCanIsay:
Maduka is a poverty alleviation programme for his supporters. Every election year he comes out, shares the most of cash, and makes the most of noise. At the end, with a hand you can always count the number of votes he gets during the primaries.

It seems someone cursed him with politics as a way of impoverishing him.

this maduka would have been a better candidate

SenecaTheYonger:
She’s not. She’s just a wanna be. She’s an introvert so she watches a lot of movies. No one smokes like that except in movies. She’s just trying soo hard to be a bad girl.

"No one smokes like that"
How do real stoners smoke?Are you sure you're not a smoker?

Vinnie2000:
If you re a Male, den you are under Category 1 on his List!!..
A Pussy Nigga..

Nobody is supporting the Man!! Or even the girl!!
Wat some persons are saying is that 'A Rich married man Befriends a Young girl, Gives her Cash, Gifts, etc, They have sex..
Suddenly, the Cash is not steady or he thinks of Quitting d affair, d only thing dat crosses d girl's mind is STABBING/KILLING!!
Dat is cool to You, Abi??

leave that guy.Don't stress yourself explaining to him.He is simply a pervert,he is one of those pouring encomium on the girl's beauty on the other thread....

seguno2:
Please what set of people are supporting the dead philandering adulterer

is Adultery a crime in Nigerian constitution?

Renforce:
The 3 set of people that support this bitch.
1. Simps who can't think outside their joysticks
2. Fellow hoes that are sympathising with their comrade
3. Serial killers & psychopaths

You are.a wise man
Even if she is my relative (God forbid)I won't support her

I thought smoking is prohibited

shogsman:
Just tantrums the USA and RUSSIA will never I repeat NEVER GI TO WAR, because they know too well it will be the end of both of them and probably the world at large,the international community will never let that happen,so it is basically impossible,the same goes for China,all this is just a little shuffle between international powers,it won't amount to anything.this is not the 16th century, there is too much at stake.

there is war going on in the south China sea between China and USA

Fanuchi007:
How i go forget you, you na my boss. That boss part na defensive strategy against billing.

na my line be this

Trust me,I haven't been to Abidjan but that place is better than Nigeria especially if you're business oriented person or an entrepreneur.
I know one Yoruba guy,he is a Tailor.He makes roughly 10k everyday there.I can post his contact for you to confirm

Don't be discouraged, go there and do your findings.

kingthreat:
The family and she owes us an explanation of what really happened. You cant just alert the sympathy and interest of the public then suddenly not at least say what happened.

Abi
maybe she went to visit her friend

**NOTES to IPOBians
From ;Nnoruka Udechukwu SAN**
"I, like many other Igbos have stood on the side lines for
far too long, wishing this Biafran breeze fizzles away, but
it’s now dangerously turning into a major storm that
constitutes an existential threat to Igbo civilization as we
know it. Those of you IPOBians, Sympathizers, Rumour
Mongers, Facebook Warriors, Facebook megastars,
Opinion Leaders and Propagandists escalating the
already tense situation must understand that in the end,
you'll all be losers, victims and at the same time in more
bondage than you ever were. Not my wish anyway, but
the perceptible reality. No war ever got won by emotions.
Preparation and strategy does, ask any battle-tested
soldier. Even the best of them get eaten. Little by little
you guys are doing everything possible to attract
avoidable conflict to our region hoping that the
international community will intervene. You'll be in for a
shocker when this meal you've cooked for so long is
served up.
Understand this, I have monitored many revolutionary
conflicts around the world and know this for a fact, the
international community foot-drags at less than a snail
pace, if at all, before attempting any interventions in
internal conflicts in a sovereign nation and that includes
America and Israel you're hoping on. War is a huge
liability and no Country wants to meddle. The best they
give these days are reliefs not military aids and that is
after many must have died including those who started
the fire. I watched it happen to Libyans, Yemenis, Syrians
and till now they still don't have peace. Besides, you’d be
stupid to believe that those countries, if ever there is any,
promising to support Nnamdi Kanu are really in for it.
Some of them want to use him to initiate conflict and sell
their weapons to both sides and make blood dollars. War
is an all-comers affair and all kinds of demonically
vicious players come to the slimy field to play the hellish
game of blood and death. In this case, Boko Haram that
has largely been caged by the army will break free to
roam with ambitions to finally establish their Caliphate
across Nigeria, all because the Army now fighting on two
fronts can no longer concentrate on them having become
too stretched. Guess what, they’ll come with ISIS on their
back. Nigerian Army will be fighting to keep Nigeria
together on one front, Boko Haram (ISIS Nigerian Branch)
with Caliphatist ambition on the other and Biafra with
secessionist ambition on yet another front.
That was how Syria got so complex till date and any war
in Nigeria today will have a similar picture. Whoever gets
overwhelmed will face the other. It will be a long and
difficult journey and unlike the first civil war without Boko
Haram in the equation, no one can predict the tortuous
end. Other Jihadists from across Africa and Middle-East
will join in as they always do wherever there’s instability
to advance their different brands of Islam. In the end
you’ll leave Nigeria and discover you’re fighting other
strangers you don’t even know how they came into the
picture.
The big boys (international players) like Iran will be there
to get there pound of flesh from Nigeria in revenge for
the Shiites, Saudi will be there to defend Nigeria, and all
will play. Weapons merchants will the start smiling to the
banks. Guess where the theatre of war would be,
Igboland. We must not allow this! Libyans thought they
were fighting Ghaddafi but after Ghaddafi, they
discovered other strangers fighting them to establish their
different brands of Islam. Same thing in Syria. The words
of Saif Al Islam Ghaddafi (Ghaddafi’s first son) keeps
ringing in my ears as he forewarned Libyans of these grim
possibilities, but okuko nti ike nánu ife n’ite ofe. I never
took him seriously at the time but in retrospect, I now
see he knew better because it panned out just as he
predicted and Libya still isn’t out of the woods.
That’s the way it is these days of jihad consciousness
across the world. If you ever experience war, you'll never
take peace for granted. War is not a movie as some of
you think. You could be the first victim. Can you stomach
watching your loved ones maimed, killed, raped, tortured,
starve to death under slow and painful circumstances?
Those are the grim realities of war and in Africa, it is
executed with luciferous savagery and psychopathic
sadism. The worst of peace is still better than the best of
wars.
Funny enough, most of our chest-beating IPOBians will
likely die off within the first month or two of the conflict
leaving those who knew nothing or are on the sidelines to
defend themselves. There will be nowhere to run to as no
country in West Africa will agree to accept the ocean-
sized volume of refugees. When the Rwandan genocide
was looming, everyone was running his mouth until the
death hurricane they courted so hard swept across their
country, they wailed and shouted for international
community to intervene but none came. That's the way it
is. Paul Kagame, their current President it was who ended
it. And they vowed to “never again”. They learnt from
history and have completely removed tribalism from
every facet of national life and are admirably making
astounding progress as one of Africa's best.
My advice, agreed, Buhari hasn't treated us as well as we
wanted, but wait till 2023 and make amends. I have
listened to Nnamdi Kanu on several videos and my
conclusion is that he is plain naive on how things roll in a
conflict situation. On one occasion he bragged that it
would take him only two weeks to reach Sokoto in the
event of war. I don't know what weapons and extra-
terrestrial strategies he has to execute that. War is an
unpredictable undertaking that you'll be ignorant to
estimate which direction it goes. As it is, he has no
weapons just yet and is bragging. Many of you believe
him and even ascribe infallibility to his words. I have
lived a couple of years abroad and what some of you
don't know is that many of our people there egging you
on don't have immigration papers and are praying for an
outbreak of hostilities in Nigeria so they can claim
asylum on the back of it.
We must advise ourselves on this current path of self-
annihilation. Some of you think Biafra will be the end of
all your problems, so South Sudan thought, as did Eritrea,
but sorry it will be the beginning of new ones. Now take
this to the Bank, it will even be far more difficult for any
country to touch any conflict here with a long spoon than
it was in the sixties. Reason? Then there was the
prospect of oil but today oil is out of fashion and even as
it is, Nigeria is begging for buyers and nobody's buying.
Osinbajo said that much a few days back. Now, tell me, if
they spend their money intervening in your conflict to
save your asses, what will they get in return? The best
they can do for you is to condemn what is going on, then
more out-pouring of condemnations and then more
unleashing of floodgates of condemnations, but NO
ACTION while you die in numbers.
You often argue that a call for referendum is not a call
for war. I agree completely! Very true! Referendum is a
right not a privilege. Even Buhari asserted that much in
favour of Palestine when he addressed the UN. However,
it is plain naivety to assume that all that is enshrined in
international law is enforceable. UN has no mechanism of
enforcement. Countries and Dictators constantly flout it
and nothing happens. Even if something were to happen
you’ll all have decomposed in your graves by then. A
show of bravado will not lead you anywhere Umunnem.
Call me a coward if you like, but Chinua Achebe told us
that we often stand in the house of a coward to point at
where a brave man ONCE lived. In any case, isn’t it
foolishness to challenge an army that has been
stockpiling arms since 1960 when you on the other hand
haven’t bought a bullet just yet?
Papa Achebe puts it this way, “Only a foolish man can go
after a leopard with his bare hands”. As impulsive and as
tempting as it may get, tone down your rhetorics,
invectives, acerbics, and cursing on social media. Cherish
the peace you now have at least Igbos are not worse-off
than other regions despite never being in power. While
there is grinding poverty in other regions, the highest
income per capita in the country is posted by Anambra
and other Igbo states ain’t doing badly. Our people live
well, build better houses compared to other regions and
it's all a miracle given the scratch we started from after
the war. Why do we want to throw all that away because
of ego and start all over again? Is it a curse? The Hausas
though having been in power do not even live a better
quality of life than Igbos. Let's be wise and not give
opportunity to destroy all we've achieved as a people.
I condemn in the strongest of terms the killing of
unarmed people by Nigerian soldiers, killer herdsmen,
and do not by any means say Nigeria is what we want it
to be but understand Biafra wasn't Ojukwu's first choice.
At Aburi his choice was a return to true federalism which
he knew was a better deal for us than secession. Nigeria
failed to honour that agreement and continued the killings
forcing him to declare a Biafran Republic to save his
people from slaughter and it's understandable. Nigeria
owes us tons of apologies, I agree. But brothers, let's
think again! A Biafra today will even be far less
economically viable than it would have been then. Reason
is because then we would have used oil money to jump-
start the new country but today oil is so unsellable to the
extent that Venezuela with arguably the largest reserves is
grappling with severe economic problems. Kick-starting a
new country from the basics would be painfully slow and
may outlive our generation to even get the basic things in
place. Arewa youths know that, the reason they have
asked Nigerian Government to let Igbos go, only for
Nnamdi Kanu to start asking for Benue and Rivers
because he knows that Igboland alone isn’t viable.
Asking for Benue is laughable because they were never
part of Biafra and have made it clear to all, as did
different Rivers groups that they don’t want Biafra. A
handful of his collaborators from those regions pledging
allegiance to him does not equate to an entire people.
Majority of their people hate this Biafran idea and have
made that much clear. Some funny IPOBians are also
hoping on Asari Dokubo and FFK. What a funny bunch
being used to fight other people’s fight. Why won’t they
take up the gauntlet or is it only us that is suffering
injustice? Don't even think corruption will suddenly
disappear in a new Biafra as some naive IPOBians hope.
If they give you Biafra today, your eyes will open up to
new unpleasant realities many of you haven't even
factored-in in your agitation but then it would have been
late.
I know voices like mine are often loathed and cursed by
IPOBians but some of us who know the truth can no
longer keep quiet while you drag us all into avoidable
chaos. I owe our people the truth as I see it. Curse me all
you want, it's OK. Umunnem, ka ako’n’uche na udo
chianu biko! Patience solves all things, with time. Let our
people think again and know what is looming. Stop your
facebook and social media vituperations, cursing, grand
standing and join me to educate others. De-escalate this
situation and speak words of kindness to others. Even
mighty America de-escalates after tensions with Russia.
It’s called wisdom. North Korea provokes South Korea
most times but the South always de-escalates tensions
knowing that the North hasn’t got anything to lose in the
event of war but beautiful South Korea will lose quite a
lot. In our case, all the beautiful houses and streets in
Igboland will be razed to the ground. Why should we be
starting afresh all the time? It will even be more painful if
we lose again as was the case in 1970. As it is, it’s not
looking good! One more thing. We can join other ethnic
groups to demand restructuring. Let us not face our
common enemy alone. Britain is our enemy using minority
Fulani to enslave Nigerians. We can together liberate
Nigeria from Fulani if only we can unite. Let's stop all
these provocative language and join forces with the West
and the Middle belt. See all over where Igbos are killed
on daily bases.

God bless her

once upon a time in China

She has been found...
Where did she go to

Alary:
Do I say you guys are semi illiterate, or you just have half baked education. Go through what the aboki was spewing out where did he compare Borno and South east in terms of economic development, or human resources . So where did he say that Borno is Eldorado compared to Southeast in terms of landmass. What he was talking about is where will they put there refugee camp if war broke out .Borno with it landmass is struggling with there dips. Switzerland as small as the country you people are comparing with the southeast has population of 8.5 million people, we are talking about less than the population of south east in 1967 .Presently the population of igbo people in Nigeria today is not less than 40million . So assuming 30milluon on that space of land in the east is going to be a big issue . Secondly the population is going to be more , Igbos from all corners of Nigeria will be pushed out and for there safety too they will move out enmass back to there state .
I could remember the civil war in 1967 , even porthacourt was not left behind ,all ibos moved back , so if the scenario repeats itself in 2021 the consequences will be bigger than expected. The garbage sheu was spot on in his submission.

Biafra isn't only 5Eastern states bro

I watched it happen to Libyans, Yemenis, Syrians and till now they still don't have peace. Besides, you’d be stupid to believe that those countries, if ever there is any, promising to support Nnamdi Kanu are really in for it. Some of them want to use him to initiate conflict and sell their weapons to both sides and make blood dollars. War is an all-comers affair and all kinds of demonically vicious players come to the slimy field to play the hellish game of blood and death. In this case, Boko Haram that has largely been caged by the army will break free to roam with ambitions to finally establish their Caliphate across Nigeria, all because the Army now fighting on two fronts can no longer concentrate on them having become too stretched. Guess what, they’ll come with ISIS on their back. Nigerian Army will be fighting to keep Nigeria together on one front, Boko Haram (ISIS Nigerian Branch) with Caliphatist ambition on the other and Biafra with secessionist ambition on yet another front. That was how Syria got so complex till date and any war in Nigeria today will have a similar picture. Whoever gets overwhelmed will face the other. It will be a long and difficult journey and unlike the first civil war without Boko Haram in the equation, no one can predict the tortuous end. Other Jihadists from across Africa and Middle-East will join in as they always do wherever there’s instability to advance their different brands of Islam. In the end you’ll leave Nigeria and discover you’re fighting other strangers you don’t even know how they came into the picture. The big boys (international players) like Iran will be there to get there pound of flesh from Nigeria in revenge for the Shiites, Saudi will be there to defend Nigeria, and all will play. Weapons merchants will the start smiling to the banks. Guess where the theatre of war would be, Igboland. We must not allow this! Libyans thought they were fighting Ghaddafi but after Ghaddafi, they discovered other strangers fighting them to establish their different brands of Islam. Same thing in Syria. The words of Saif Al Islam Ghaddafi (Ghaddafi’s first son) keeps ringing in my ears as he forewarned Libyans of these grim possibilities, but okuko nti ike nánu ife n’ite ofe. I never took him seriously at the time but in retrospect, I now see he knew better because it panned out just as he predicted and Libya still isn’t out of the woods. That’s the way it is these days of jihad consciousness across the world. If you ever experience war, you'll never take peace for granted. War is not a movie as some of you think. You could be the first victim. Can you stomach watching your loved ones maimed, killed, raped, tortured, starve to death under slow and painful circumstances? Those are the grim realities of war and in Africa, it is executed with luciferous savagery and psychopathic sadism. The worst of peace is still better than the best of wars. Funny enough, most of our chest-beating IPOBians will likely die off within the first month or two of the conflict leaving those who knew nothing or are on the sidelines to defend themselves. There will be nowhere to run to as no country in West Africa will agree to accept the ocean- sized volume of refugees. When the Rwandan genocide was looming, everyone was running his mouth until the death hurricane they courted so hard swept across their country, they wailed and shouted for international community to intervene but none came. That's the way it is. Paul Kagame, their current President it was who ended it. And they vowed to “never again”. They learnt from history and have completely removed tribalism from every facet of national life and are admirably making astounding progress as one of Africa's best. My advice, agreed, Buhari hasn't treated us as well as we wanted, but wait till 2023 and make amends. I have listened to Nnamdi Kanu on several videos and my conclusion is that he is plain naive on how things roll in a conflict situation. On one occasion he bragged that it would take him only two weeks to reach Sokoto in the event of war. I don't know what weapons and extra- terrestrial strategies he has to execute that. War is an unpredictable undertaking that you'll be ignorant to estimate which direction it goes. As it is, he has no weapons just yet and is bragging. Many of you believe him and even ascribe infallibility to his words. I have lived a couple of years abroad and what some of you don't know is that many of our people there egging you on don't have immigration papers and are praying for an outbreak of hostilities in Nigeria so they can claim asylum on the back of it. We must advise ourselves on this current path of self- annihilation. Some of you think Biafra will be the end of all your problems, so South Sudan thought, as did Eritrea, but sorry it will be the beginning of new ones. Now take this to the Bank, it will even be far more difficult for any country to touch any conflict here with a long spoon than it was in the sixties. Reason? Then there was the prospect of oil but today oil is out of fashion and even as it is, Nigeria is begging for buyers and nobody's buying. Osinbajo said that much a few days back. Now, tell me, if they spend their money intervening in your conflict to save your asses, what will they get in return? The best they can do for you is to condemn what is going on, then more out-pouring of condemnations and then more unleashing of floodgates of condemnations, but NO ACTION while you die in numbers. You often argue that a call for referendum is not a call for war. I agree completely! Very true! Referendum is a right not a privilege. Even Buhari asserted that much in favour of Palestine when he addressed the UN. However, it is plain naivety to assume that all that is enshrined in international law is enforceable. UN has no mechanism of enforcement. Countries and Dictators constantly flout it and nothing happens. Even if something were to happen you’ll all have decomposed in your graves by then. A show of bravado will not lead you anywhere Umunnem. Call me a coward if you like, but Chinua Achebe told us that we often stand in the house of a coward to point at where a brave man ONCE lived. In any case, isn’t it foolishness to challenge an army that has been stockpiling arms since 1960 when you on the other hand haven’t bought a bullet just yet? Papa Achebe puts it this way, “Only a foolish man can go after a leopard with his bare hands”. As impulsive and as tempting as it may get, tone down your rhetorics, invectives, acerbics, and cursing on social media. Cherish the peace you now have at least Igbos are not worse-off than other regions despite never being in power. While there is grinding poverty in other regions, the highest income per capita in the country is posted by Anambra and other Igbo states ain’t doing badly. Our people live well, build better houses compared to other regions and it's all a miracle given the scratch we started from after the war. Why do we want to throw all that away because of ego and start all over again? Is it a curse? The Hausas though having been in power do not even live a better quality of life than Igbos. Let's be wise and not give opportunity to destroy all we've achieved as a people. I condemn in the strongest of terms the killing of unarmed people by Nigerian soldiers, killer herdsmen, and do not by any means say Nigeria is what we want it to be but understand Biafra wasn't Ojukwu's first choice. At Aburi his choice was a return to true federalism which he knew was a better deal for us than secession. Nigeria failed to honour that agreement and continued the killings forcing him to declare a Biafran Republic to save his people from slaughter and it's understandable. Nigeria owes us tons of apologies, I agree. But brothers, let's think again! A Biafra today will even be far less economically viable than it would have been then. Reason is because then we would have used oil money to jump- start the new country but today oil is so unsellable to the extent that Venezuela with arguably the largest reserves is grappling with severe economic problems. Kick-starting a new country from the basics would be painfully slow and may outlive our generation to even get the basic things in place. Arewa youths know that, the reason they have asked Nigerian Government to let Igbos go, only for Nnamdi Kanu to start asking for Benue and Rivers because he knows that Igboland alone isn’t viable. Asking for Benue is laughable because they were never part of Biafra and have made it clear to all, as did different Rivers groups that they don’t want Biafra. A handful of his collaborators from those regions pledging allegiance to him does not equate to an entire people. Majority of their people hate this Biafran idea and have made that much clear. Some funny IPOBians are also hoping on Asari Dokubo and FFK. What a funny bunch being used to fight other people’s fight. Why won’t they take up the gauntlet or is it only us that is suffering injustice? Don't even think corruption will suddenly disappear in a new Biafra as some naive IPOBians hope. If they give you Biafra today, your eyes will open up to new unpleasant realities many of you haven't even factored-in in your agitation but then it would have been late. I know voices like mine are often loathed and cursed by IPOBians but some of us who know the truth can no longer keep quiet while you drag us all into avoidable chaos. I owe our people the truth as I see it. Curse me all you want, it's OK. Umunnem, ka ako’n’uche na udo chianu biko! Patience solves all things, with time. Let our people think again and know what is looming. Stop your facebook and social media vituperations, cursing, grand standing and join me to educate others. De-escalate this situation and speak words of kindness to others. Even mighty America de-escalates after tensions with Russia. It’s called wisdom. North Korea provokes South Korea most times but the South always de-escalates tensions knowing that the North hasn’t got anything to lose in the event of war but beautiful South Korea will lose quite a lot. In our case, all the beautiful houses and streets in Igboland will be razed to the ground. Why should we be starting afresh all the time? It will even be more painful if we lose again as was the case in 1970. As it is, it’s not looking good! One more thing. We can join other ethnic groups to demand restructuring. Let us not face our common enemy alone. Britain is our enemy using minority Fulani to enslave Nigerians. We can together liberate Nigeria from Fulani if only we can unite. Let's stop all these provocative language and join forces with the West and the Middle belt. See all over where Igbos are killed on daily bases.
