Op the question you should be asking is, how do AMBODE cope with the likes of WEKI a confirmed thug and FAYOSE a certified failure in any aspect of good governance

HarryDuce:
Very useless governor.

Go and pay lecturers and bring peace to the state.

He's always in one media stunt or another. smh

Igbo have made their mark economically in Lagos, Kano and most parts of the country. What about alaigbo specifically?

Late Michael Okpara, the premier of the former eastern region oversaw the rapid growth of the region then adjudged by international economic observers as Africa's fastest growing region economically.

Enugu and Owerri were the major Administrative centers while Aba, Onitsha and Portharcourt were the commercial centers. Today things have changed. Things fall apart.

But can the goals of our fathers still be realised? YES!

- Enugu city is still the first class administrative center we have. All we need to do is to involve in urban expansion. Enugu is "bae".

- Owerri, if worked on, can still be the crown beauty of the east if we sustain a high level of maintenance culture and urban renewal. It can also be a major holiday destination center.

- Aba is in dire need of infrastructure to catch up with the rest of the economic cities. These deficiency has led to some degree of environmental degradation. The human and financial resources are already there. Aba urban renewal can help sustain Uyo (an Ibibio town), whose economy is still largely oil dependent.

- Onitsha is relatively stable and sound, but its polluted air being the most affected as adjudged by international analysts calls for rapid environmental policies. If well attended to, its economy can expand to Asaba, an Igbo town and the capital of present day delta state.

- Port Harcourt is stable. But to survive as an economic center, it needs to diversify its economy from being too oil dependent. Oil is losing its value internationally.

Towns like:

- Nnewi, is quickly becoming an industrial center. Thanks to companies like Juhel, innoson, orange drugs, etc.The government needs to fix infrastructures befitting of a modern town there.

- Abiriba, also dubbed "small London" by the late zik can be upgraded into a major administrative center. Abiriba is a quiet beautiful residential town. It has the potential of being a holiday or exotic place of destination.

- Umuahia (a former biafran capital) can be a major agricultural center. It once was. With the presence of a University of Agriculture and Arable land, It can be the major center for industrial research in agriculture.

- Awka if well monitored and nurtured can rival Enugu as a major administrative center in the east. The infrastructures are currently rusty and outdated. But with a little effort, it can roar back to its rightful place as a major administrative center.

- Abakaliki can rival Umuahia as an agricultural center if well nurtured. It has arable land and enough workforce to man the fields.

What's your take?

These ipobs sef...

EarthXmetahuman:
ignoramus. Its not about the number but natural resources.

If all igbos move to south east, there won't be land to do anything else like farming etc.

The whole world population can fit into newyork, yet we are complaining of over population already, why?




South east cannot contain all igbos.

Alariiwo:
Igbos are the ones choking Yorubas up in South West.

Once you all leave, Yorubas will have breathing space with enough lands for farming, airports and other infrastructures.

Anyone of you that attempts to stay back will be jailed. Simple!

It is increasing becoming clearer that Jonathan was a more humane manager of resources than this cattle rearer from Daura. Even at 100 dollar per litre, Jonathan was able to sustain a subsidy regime which ensures that fuel was sold at 97 naira per litre, from 75 naira it formerly sold. This cut down in subsidy generated a fund called sureP.
Here is Buhari, at 45 dollar to a barrel, fuel was sold at 145 naira from the former 87 naira. There is no report of a fund saved due to subsidy removal. Instead, government is taking a billion dollars from the excess crude account in the guise of fighting terrorism.
Two things are involved here. It is either Buhari and his cohorts are massively stealing from us or he is as dumb as a dullard, having no iota of idea as to where the money is migrating to.

The Northern part of Nigeria is a big problem to our collective sanity and unity of purpose as a people and a country.
How can you cheer the same person that is causing your misery if you are not hypnotized with glue sniffing?

komekn:
You probably will not be suprised but I have some friends who, catch a flight Friday night from Lagos get into London in the morning watch Arsenal and fly back that night back to Lagos.

Sometimes they will fly into Manchester from London to watch Arsenal at away matches.

There is something truly perverse in that they probably do not know all the names of the local teams and will struggle to mention the names of up to 10 local league players.

Until we value our local league, appreciate and patronise it, this trend will not stop.

And for those who think I only watch all things English I went to watch Etebo when he was at Warri Wolves. And not on TV I sat in the Sun in Warri Township stadium. I didn't have s steak pie after the match but roasted bole.

Tunde Idiagbon was the only soldier Ibrahim Babangida ever feared because Idiagbon put him in detention countless times.
Idiagbon was to be made EFCC chairman by Obasanjo but he was poisoned by corrupt politicians and never accomplished his mission

Another Nigerian kid signs a pro deal with Arsenal. Potentially one for the future.
