Rotimi Amaexhi was named after Rotimi Williams, because his father wanted him to read law, he said so himself in an interveiw. Everything in context please, the fact that your name is John does not mean you are an Oyinbo man. A man can call his child anything he wants, More important in this instance is his surname. There are also many names that are spelt differently. Sola..shola, Sheun v Seun. Gbemiga v gbenga. If you say Akpata has an alternative meaning please come and tell us the meaning in whatever tribe you think it belongs to. I put it to you that whatever State Akpata is from, the meaning of his name in his local dialect is the same as the yoruba meaning.



As far as his nomination, you and I know, people play politics with these things, we see it all the time for political gain. Saying Akpata is not a yoruba man when it comes to political appointment is like when they said Tinubu is not from Lagos or Ambode is not from Lagos, politicians do this all the time. They even said Abacha is not a Nigerian, that he is from Chad. We either want to deliberate facts or we want to be hostage to sentiments and political propaganda. We are dealing in historical facts here, Akpata is a yoruba family name, it means he has Yoruba heritage. If you ever hear the Ijebus speak the proper language you will not understand a thing they say and swear they aren't speaking yoruba, yet they are yorubas. if you suddenly carve out Ijebu state, Ijebus don't suddenly stop being yorubas. Also many parts currently called south south were once part of the WEstern region.

The problem with the yoruba claim of being in delta state is lack of geographical contiguity with Main yoruba land. In that case, it can be inferred that they are migrants, the case for edo is understandable

both NBA president and CJN are not Igbos so why are people shouting that only igbos are against the raid?? when some people cant bring reasonable logic to support bubu they go tribal

The street lights look too clustered

Even foreigners know how divided we are but we are here shouting "one nigeria"

why are these people so unstable, always speaking form both sides of the mouth. Tufiakwa

Buhari and Kwankwaso were never friends, hatred for GEJ brought them together, now that GEJ is no longer there, they will finish each other

hmm, i see real niger deltans speaking, Tonyebacanista where are you?

where is Omenka??

jayrule:
Mordsith, question for you.
Are you Ukwuani?
Ukwuani speaking Isoko man?

We can move on from here.

And mind you, the more you post about Tonyebalkanizer, the more popular you make him.

He is too irrelevant to be given these praises (however it sounds).

Make more relevant post like

"How is Iyede related to the Igbo's (from The Ukwuani region)"

of course, the low life use igbo to seek cheap popularity, ijaws cant give him such. let him enjoy our benevolence in making him popular, Omenka was popular too, where is he?? Let them come and upgrade the low self with igbo given popularity

TonyeBarcanista:
See, I don't care whether there are Igbos in Kano or Sokoto


The koko is your brother claimed Isoko


And went on to speak like a non-Igbo but I'm too "dull" to be swayed.

Ukwauni is not Isoko, Isoko Is not Igbo. OP is IBO

I am Ijaw and only CONCERNED with Ijaw.




be proud of your ancestry.... Goodnight

you are not concerned with ijaw, you drag SS or niger delta into your ijaw madness. Thank God you have put to where you belong, meanwhile like the OP said, GEJ we know, Ben bruce we know, Asari we know, who are you?? Let me see you shout "we niger delta" again

TonyeBarcanista:
OP is 100% Igbo. YOU CAN'T be an Igbo and Isoko at the same time. Or is Isoko a Local Government?

Isooo people are Urhobo leaning, it is COMPLETELY different from Ukwani.


Be proud of your Igbo heritage

so there are igbos in Niger delta?? tell me something, are you more niger delta than the igbos in niger delta?? if yes then carve them out and return them

excel101:
I see Tinubu having somethin up his sleeves, cos the best way to deal with Saraki is for him to get closer to him, which is the reason he congratulated them.

and you think saraki is that naive liike him (Tinubu). all this Tinubu's kindergateen political move will only hold water is SW where he is god, national politics is a different thing all together

some hypocrites will blame those who bomb pipelines without blaming a president who is openly divisive

sunnymaja:
The discord the igbo people sowed as a result of 2015 will last long in Nigeria. You continue with it - you just hate other tribes despite your education as claimed

the dullard in chef sowed all seeds of discord.

Spicycat:
My question is How do people know that the guy is really Hausa by tribe, is it because he speaks the language which off cause a lot of people understand and speak because they were born in the northern part of the country. Or maybe because he wears dresses like Hausa which off cause is worn by all irrespective of the tribe or religion of the person.

do u think he is a passerby, he lives in the community and they know him well

him not her, don't mind the feminine name

wizzakosh:
which of the portharcourt, the one wey I dey or na 4 rwanda. You lied. Here in port, they never thought of biafra for once.

PH was the first to erupt in protest after Kanu's arrest.

Abiagirl777:
Another inter tribal marriage,tribalists on Nairaland how market?
Afonja weds okoro,South West weds yeast,oblong head weds flat head.
Life goes on beautifully for them,say no to tribalism and E wars

hahaha, nairaland has censored south wa.ste??:

boolee:
don't delude people here. Only miscreants from across the Niger come to Asaba to cause chaos. Indigines of Asaba are peace loving.

another nonsense, dead-on-arrival divide and conquer tactic

bring back our corruption

Under this new administration, contracts and agreements for 12 new power plants have already been signed.

4000MW Mambilla power project Jona abandoned is back on track

The Transmission grid your jona neglected is getting upgraded..

Same way GEJ lied and didn't build the 2nd NB that PMB is now going to build

You can even attribute the air I breath to jona, it makes no difference simply because Nigerians saw that useless and incompetent stealing is not corruption supervisor of looting and stealing and end up kicking him out and his never coming back so you people really need to stop bothering us with your silly GEJ rubbish.



Hate, anger and bitterness is not good for your health..

Lol, i wonder how old you are, the guy finished you very well sha

a whole minister of finance said all this, everything she said sound so ordinary and similar to a common nairaland zombie

Instead of waking up to acknowledge that Buhari has failed and people who predicted his failure have been vindicated, you decided to continue in your delusions?? continue

I told aressa. my only problem is that it will be transmitted to the national grid instead of transmitted locally to targeted areas, this is the problem Geometric ran into. FG should dismantle the national grid, but weakling who are scared of competition will resist

aresssa:
There is no FG presence in the SE


We are marginalized in the SE

PMB hate SE and SE people



....still every FG attempts and presence in the SE still brings hate, scorn, bitterness and anger..


What do you people really want or this is just the same eternal confusion and hate for yourselves?


Sometimes I really wonder about your people...

bros keep quiet. Emmanuel Irono and his US team are investing in solar because jonathan privatized it. Same with Geometric Aba. No govt control can defeat the forces of capitalism in the long run, your ppl should get that

so mr arressa, Emmanuel Irono and his US based firm is building it not Buhari's FG. We are enjoying the benefit of GEJ's power reforms, lazy ones want FG to hold on to everything but nobody can win the forces of capitalism

US, Swiss firms kick-off solar, hotel projects in Enugu, Abia





A United States-based renew­able energy firm, Motir DuSable Power Investment Limited, has sited its $200 million solar project in Enugu State to generate 300 megawatts into the na­tional grid.

In the first phase of the project, the firm is to generate 100 megawatts of solar energy which will subsequently be increased to 200 in the second phase.

Similarly, Swiss Ho­tels International has formally taken over the management of the moribund multi-mil­lion naira Enyimba Ho­tels, Aba in Abia State. When fully operational, about 3,000 jobs will be generated by the hotel.

The drivers of the Enugu project, which is a joint venture between two US-based power firms, have signed an agreement with the Federal Government to site the project in Enu­gu State with the goal of making the state the hub for renewable en­ergy generation in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Chairman of the firm, Mr Emmanuel Irono, yesterday made a presentation of the com­pany’s planned take-off of the project during a performance review re­treat of the Enugu State Executive Council with Governor Ifeanyi Ug­wuanyi in attendance.

According to Irono, “We have a joint ven­ture that would enable us to bring this project to Nigeria and we are licensed and have gone through all the pro­cesses and procedure in terms of the power pur­chasing.

“Also, we have an al­liance that can help us go through the various segments necessary for this project to be suc­cessful.”

While declaring the retreat open, Governor Ifeanfi Ugwuanyi com­mended the develop­ment partners for their successful contribution towards the actualisa­tion of his administra­tion’s reform agenda.
