If I talk now, they will say I'm a hater.

We Igbos keep having this notion that Enugu is the best thing after friend rice and while I don't think Enugu is had, we need to do better by making Enugu more than just a beautiful mini city. I was in Akure just a few days ago and it had a lot of resemblance with Enugu and I wonder why I don't see people praising Akure to high heavens. Enugu governors should take the bull by the horn and strive to make Enugu compete with cities like Porthacourt while still maintaining the serenity that it currently has. I think the development of Enugu should begin from the Enugu- Porthacourt expressway.

Akure that is not even linked by major federal express is what you are comparing with Enugu with four A3 intersection two of which are dual carriageway?

Dude, i hate LIARS that is my problem with you.
Were the pictures you posted from any of the estates that you later listed? = NO!

Perhaps i went too far to say Ugwuanyi had Never developed any estate, but he had not performed as much as the expected level of a typical Governor of Enugu State would. Even WTC has less than 10 one-storey buildings which isn't even up to Loma Linda estates. Yet, we always rated and thought Chimaroke was the worst in promoting new estates.

You sound too bitter young man

Donald95:
It is not sacking. Their Tenure as BOT members expired. Children of hate everywhere

See the source. Afonja newspaper

OMANBALA1:
Do you think I visit Nairaland to play games with you ?? When I discuss Anambra I mean serious business. Obiano is supposed to make laws that regulate both construction of buildings and their designs. In addition to that ,you appoint the right people to make sure every gaddem builder gets the message loud and,clear.

So because anambra is your state of origin you can say this but someone else can not? Isn't this exactly what I have been saying while your people keep insulting?

OMANBALA1:
Don't go that route.

Which route? Must everything hurt your inflated ego? Chino has been bragging with huge budget bu I told him that a competent authority will release report on implementation and it happened. Why not stop judging yourself with budget next time afterall cross river budget was over 1trillion

Afonjas trying to activate media war against buhari towards 2023 is an effort in futility. OUK was hired to decimate them if they try such

Oni was right but not entirely. Igbos did not originate from ife neither do we share common ancestry but igboland stretched to ife till 10th century. Igbos are the aboriginal ifes oduduwa met when he came up from Benin. The claim that oduduwa fell from the sky and fathered the whole yoruba nation at ife is pure comedy by ibadan revisionist. Oni has not been crowned when this was published. I am sure yorubas discredited it because its igbo newspaper

Chino. I told you to stop bragging with budget. Now NEITI has confirmed Enugu among the only 8 that can finance their budget. Anybody can budget anyhow for cheap accolades. When competent authorities calculate actual implementation then we will know how far

Follygunners:
You're indeed an Okoro Savage!

"Igbo" in this Yoruba context means forest / Bush / Jungle

Igbobi - Igbo-obi (Forest of Kola-nut)
Ijebu Igbo - Ijebu land of vast forest
Oyingbo OR Igbo-Oyin - Forest filled with honey
Igbosere - Forest of fun / play park

Please, get your facts right instead of assuming like majority of Igbos do. You guys tend to propagate stories to suit yourselves. Abeg, enough of the nonsense!

And you forget that igbo is synonymous with forests.

Adonko:
Edo people love Obaseki and his good works speaks volumes of who he is and if he eventually decamps that will signal the end of APC in Edo state .


Anybody Oshio will bring as APC flag bearer will fail woefully even before contesting .


Mark my words !!!.

Afonjas are already whipping anti igbo sentiments as if edo is Lagos

Peacecore:
Obaseki's political ambitions going d way of Saraki,Shehu Sank,Fayose,d dancer etc bcoz I sighted one idiot supporting him now

This is south south territory young man. This is not the fat coward ambode. Go and ask amaechi and akpabio how south south treat godfathers

Comments from "okoros" so far has been "it serves him right" so I am confused about this thread.

Peacecore:
Obaseki is being cheered now but he will b taught bitter politics by Oshiomole

That will lead to pdp taking over like in Imo. Edo will not tolerate godfatherism like sw

Ooni:
where are the omoluabis in all this? we dominate UK in numbers but we live mostly in low-hood areas of every city, allowing Ibos and other tribes take control of the corridors of power. i keep repeating that unbridled hate and jealously that our present generation is known for won't do the job rather, hardwork will.

They are respecting their host in UK. Lol. How do you expect any afonja to win when there is no tinubu the thin god who hand pick and install them and MC oluomo who destroy voting materials? I pity yoruba upcoming generation

yarimo:
IPOBIANS are just creating different account with Hausa name claiming to be northerner. Beg GEJ ko chase GEJ ni

Afonja cowards never disappoint

BeautifulMind2:
You guys claimed to dominate UK, how many Yorubas are mayor in UK today, at least Igbos can boast of two Mayors among all tribes in Africa, that're residents of UK, that's a great achievements, even your APC UK group see it as a great achievement

Lol. They should channel their anger to APC UK

BeautifulMind2:
I get am before no be property, within space of one month Igbos has produced two mayors in UK, one minister and assembly member in Canada, just update me what Yoruba achieve within this period outside Nigeria

Next generation yorubas will seriously lack high achievers with the way they cling to past glories they achieved when igbos were down

aribisala0:
Stop the consolation. The issue is the claim of being FIRST which clearly is a LIE.

The other thing is Yoruba did this 20 years ago and no one felt it was a big thing so it it the LIE that prompted the DIGGING .

If you begin to dig? Something that you have been diigging like NNPC looking for oil in Maiduguri abeg no make me laff.That is what you specialize in digging spurious "achievements" real and imagined and then claiming to be the first . When your infantile claims are punctured you start off on how everyone hates you.

Imagine a Yoruba achieved this 20 years ago and I did not hear about it till today!! Figure that one out. Dispense with the inferiority complex.

Is it how Emeagwali founded the internet or Orji Uzor Kalu banks with World Bank or Onitsha market sells drones to US Army? What lies have you not told us

You sound bitter over nothing. The error was from APC UK who shared the news. Overtaking is allowed in the race of life. Earlier colonisation gave yorubad advantage but igbos latter bridged the gap. The civil war gave them another advantage but igbos covered up so fast. Now Buhari nepostic government is their hope but it's not working. Like someone said before, I get am before no be property. There are a more igbos winning elections in the diaspora today than yorubas and that's the main point

gidgiddy:
In the video below, the young girl counts from one to ten in Ika, let's compare that to central Igbo

One:
Ika- Ofu
Igbo- Ofu

Two:
Ika- Ebuo
Igbo- Abuo

Three:
Ika-Eto
Igbo-Ato

Four
Ika- Eno
Igbo- Ano

Five:
Ika- Ise
Igbo- Ise

Six:
Ika- Isii
Igbo- Isii

Seven:
Ika- Esaa
Igbo- Asaa

Eight:
Ika- Esato
Igbo- Asato

Nine:
Ika- Itenani
Igbo- Itenani

Ten:
Ika- Iri
Igbo- Iri

Its obvious that Ika language is a dialect of Igbo and has nothing to do with Bini.

Exactly same for nsukka dialect

Yorubas have been brainwashed by the historical revisionist. Oduduwa came from Benin to ife in 10th century and the people he met there were igbos. The monarch is an oduduwa descendant telling you the truth but the fabrications you have consumed for long has blocked your head. However, igbos did not move from ife to igboland. Igbos in Ife scattered among the yorubas that is why you have many"igbos" in yorubaland eg igbobi, ijebu igbo, oyingbo, igbosere, igbomina etc, Latter under oba Essigie of Benin and the political turmoil that followed his treaty with Portuguese, igbos in ado n'idu near benin moved East and mixed up with western igbo with few crossing the niger shrinking igbo boundary to Agbor

SoNature:
This is commendable.

The bad blood between Chimaroke and Sullivan didn't help Enugu in any way.

Only God knows what Rainbownet would have become had it still been in operation.

Ugwuanyi has done well for taking up the conference center.

However, I am not impressed with his performance one bit.

FG's EFCC killed rainbownet not chime. But chime messed up by abandoning this edifice despite oil boom and loans

Roofing of conference centre completed

Ofuzo:
Bricks will be cheaper if people who plaster and paint their buildings are MANDATED to repaint their houses every five years. Mandated because painting the exterior of buildings does not last. The paint seems to wear out, like in 5 to 10 years time. When the paint wears off, the building will start looking like shithole. But other than that, just DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, ALWAYS.Thats what western civilization did. They got to where they are now, without cutting corners. Brick, granite and marble houses can go 500 years without needing to be repainted.

Igbos are out there shouting that they are smart, they are jews, nnewi is taiwan and aba is Hong Kong. All these claims are pathetically false. People who make these claims will be shockstruck if they visit isreal, taiwan or hong kong. It's an insult to these people to be comparing igboland with their people and cities.

Lol. We know the people making such bogus claims

More

More federal presence in enugu state. A federal space observatory opens in nsukka. At the town not campus

Outside the campus. ? Seems UNN physics/Astronomy department will be in charge

fredoooooo:
OP Australian or Austrian

Definitely Austria. OP made mistake in the title. Focus on the news proper

They keep underrating kanu to their own peril. August is almost here

El-Rufai has given you cowards a hint on how to end godfatherism instead if boasting with that backward political system

MetaPhysical:
What in that picture says they are Yoruba?

Izala can have branch anywhere in Nigeria. They are probably even in Enugu.

You need proof when afonjas now carry MURIC for head more than sokoto?

tommyken:
You be MUMU I swear.....

You should be used as a sacrifice to your ancestors.


MUMU

Lol. Imagine the incoherent rants from that mumu
