An avrage Aba man is Business minded & very hard working, has no time for Kidnapping.

I wonder why some people expecialy the ZOMBIES derive Joy in giving Aba a bad name.

Last two months a gang of Criminals kidnapping people operating from Ohafia were aprehende. But they will come to Aba to perpetuate their crime & off they go.

Now this group opperates from Rivers State, but one ZOMBIE is already calling Aba Names.

Una no dey tire?

If this op has really gone round aba and nothing has changed in her eyes, then probably you will hardly appreciate any good from your husband to be.

I am not from Aba but I go there often to supply my products.

For your information these are list of the roads your brother Ikpeazu has worked on in Aba:

1. Umule road has been tard from faulks road to Portharcourt express road with perfect drainage made

2. From living word hospital, he has tard it down to Umule

3. Park Road has been tard from end to end

4. St Michael's road tard from end to end

5. Hospital road tard from end to end

6. Pound road tard from end to end

There are other roads that were constructed using cement technology that I have not mentioned.

All roads in aba with little or no drainage are presently undergoing huge drainage construction.

Demolition are presently being carried out on buildings that are not in the infrastructural plan.

If you have not been to Aba you probably will not appreciate these roads I mentioned as I don't have their distances but for a Governor to execute these within 11 months is a great feat.

@OP if Aba is really your home as you claim stop portraying your ignorance in public forums, go to church and give thanksgiving for making your brother the Governor cause no body can do it better than him.

ogmaskman:
I do not agree with you sir. The compressor shuts down faster with the fan on low. This means that the fuel consumption is reduced compared to when the car blower is on high which delays shut down of the compressor. Note that the blower fan blows the air thru the evaporator into the cabin. The compressor on the other hand responds to the level of coolness of the evaporator. the evaporator cools faster with the blower on low, which means faster shut down. with the blower on hi, the evaporator takes more time to cool. The longer it takes to cool the evaporator the longer it takes the compressor to shut down. As you know, the longer it takes the compressor to shut down the more fuel it consumes. As far as the compressor is on, the engine responds appropriately.

GBAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!

You really need to get informed.

Your battery doesn't do anything once your car is started. The alternator generates all the electrical energy needed once the car is on (including charging the battery). The only time your battery will work while the car is running is when your alternator is bad and that will kill your battery.

How factual is this Info?

A United States academic report for 2015 has suggested that the Igbo of South Eastern Nigeria are the most brilliant black Africa race. According to the report: “a search through the promotional materials of school for a black student – all schools and colleges would always show some black faces in their promotional materials if they have any – reveals that they have had at least one black student, and it was, unsurprisingly, a Nigerian Igbo.” This is just as two teenage Nigerian high school students, Harold Ekeh and Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, have broken a record of being accepted by eight Ivy League schools in the United States. Ekeh is a 17- year-old senior student at Elmont Memorial High School, Long Island while Uwamanzu- Nna is a high-school student from Long Island, New York. Schools within the Ivy League are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University. However, the feat, according to two online news portals, NBC News and MSN, revealed that both teenagers are faced with “a big decision to make soon.” For instance, Ekeh was granted admission by 13 universities, including all the eight Ivy League schools. The NBC News reported that Ekeh is faced with the dilemma of whittling down his college prospects, having applied to 13 colleges, with the hope to “maybe” get into Stony Brook University, about an hour east of his home in Elmont, Long Island. But, in recent weeks, the cascade of reply letters started pouring in: Harvard. Yes. Yale. Yes. Princeton. Yes. Not only did he get accepted to all of the schools he applied to, those include all eight Ivy League institutions. Speaking with NBC News, Ekeh said: “It’s very, like, stunning. It’s like getting hit with a brick, honestly. When you see congratulations, you’re like, wow your hard work has paid off, definitely.” The straight-A student has accomplished the rare feat of getting into all of the nation’s Ivy schools, crediting his parents’ work ethic for setting an example and a desire to strive in his adopted homeland after emigrating from Nigeria 10 years ago. “I find that I’m very over-involved,” Ekeh said, counting advanced placement classes and extracurricular activities, such as science research, school plays and being editor-inchief of his school newspaper, as filling up his time. Ekeh, who scored a 2270 out of 2400 on his SATs, said: “I do have conflicts that maybe I’ll have this programme at the same time as I have another programme and so it’s hard to choose which one to be involved in. I expected to maybe get into Stony Brook, a couple of other safeties, just based upon the SAT and the GPA, but I was still never certain of anything. There are so many variables taken into consideration in college admissions, so I was never certain of anything at any point.” Ekeh, one of five brothers, said he wants to study biochemistry and become a neurosurgeon. He is inspired by his grandmother, who began showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s when he was 11. He wants to find a cure. “There are so many researchers working for Alzheimer’s disease right now and many neurogenic disorders that definitely a cure can be found soon,” he said. As for where he is going to college, he isn’t quite sure, but would like to stay close to family. “I am leaning towards Columbia right now because I’d like to stay in New York City for I guess the rest of my career and work at Mt. Sinai,” Ekeh said, adding that America has given his family a life they might never have had in Nigeria. Meanwhile, Uwamanzu- Nna, who also had found herself in the same situation, told MSN News that she has a big decision to make soon. The Elmont High School valedictorian, who was accepted into all the eight Ivy League schools, also gained admission into Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Uwamanzu-Nna is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, who said her parents instilled in her the value of education. “Though I was born here in America, I visited Nigeria many times. And I’ve seen that my cousins don’t have the same opportunities that I have. So, definitely, whatever I do, I want to make sure that it has an impact on Nigeria,” she said. She also said her own tenacity and persistence helped shape her into becoming a great student. But as with a lot of students, she did face hardships with some classes. “I struggled with numerous classes in the past. But I guess what allowed me to be successful, ultimately, in those classes, is my persistence and my tenacity,” she said. Though Uwamanzu- Nna hasn’t decided on which college to attend, having scored a GPA of 101.6, and with a recent invitation to the White House Science Fair, reports indicated that there’s no doubt that she would continue her academic excellence. The report that suggested the outstanding academic performance of the Igbo revealed that if only environmental factors were responsible for the different Intelligence Quotients (IQs) of different populations, the world may expect to find some countries where Africans had higher IQs than Europeans. The report cited empirical backup using theories propounded by eminent scholars such as Richard Lynn, a British Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster and Arthur Jensen, who was a professor of educational psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. The report’s findings also revealed that while the fact remains that black immigrants to the U.S have shown achievements that were superior to native black Americans, studies had also shown that it had been a phenomenon studied since the 1970s at the least. Using Lynn theory, who was also an assistant editor of the controversial journal Mankind Quarterly, who is known for his views on racial, ethnic and national differences in intelligence, the report revealed that: “Failure to find a single country where this is the case points to the presence of a strong genetic factor.” For Jensen, the report said: “Regression would explain why Black children born to high IQ, wealthy Black parents have test scores two to four points lower than do White children born to low IQ, poor White parents.” The report also stated that at first, it was just the Caribbean blacks who were a subject of this unexpected outcome. As black Africans kept immigrating into the U.S, they showed even higher levels of achievement than the native blacks. Many scholars theorised on the reasons for these differences, from Thomas Sowell’s proposal that this disproved the validity of discrimination against native blacks as an explanation for their underachievement (Sowell, 1978), to other scholars who suggested that these immigrants were just the most highly driven members of their home countries as evidenced by their willingness to migrate to a foreign country (Butcher, 1990). What most of these theories failed to predict was that the children of these immigrants would also show exceptional achievements, especially academically. It is only in recent years, as the immigrants have stayed long enough to produce a sufficiently high number of offspring, that it had been observed that they are over- represented among high academic achievers, especially when compared to native blacks, particularly at very elite institutions. What has been missed in the IQ debate is the full logical implication of these achievements: they have effectively nullified any arguments for a racial evolutionary explanation of the well- known IQ test score gap between blacks and whites. Even more fatal for the racial hereditarian side of the debate has been the corroborating data of school children performance in the UK, particularly when the black Africans are divided into their respective nationalities and tribal ethnicities. Arthur Jensen gave at least two empirical tests that could potentially falsify his thesis of a race based genetic explanation for the black-white IQ gap.

WHAT IS ILLEGAL ABOUT THE PARALLEL REFINERIES IN THE OIL PRODUCING AREAS

WHO IS FOOLING WHO IN THIS COUNTRY?

WITHIN MY FEW YEARS ON THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY CALLED NIGERIA, I HAVE COME TO A SAFE CONCLUSION BASED ON RESEARCH AS FOLLOWS:
1. THAT THERE IS NO ACT OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION OF ANY FORM OF MINERAL RESOURCES, EITHER OIL OR SOLID MINERAL, FOR THE BENEFIT OF MAN THAT DOES NOT HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES.
2. THAT THERE IS NO STATE IN NIGERIA THAT IS NOT BLESSED WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF MINERAL RESOURCES DEPOSITED BY GOD FOR OUR BENEFIT AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION.
3. IN THE CASE OF OIL, THERE IS EVIDENT MORE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE FAR MORE THAN THAT OF THE SOLID MINERAL RESOURCES.
IN NIGERIA, THE SAD REALITY IS THAT THE ISSUE OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE MINERAL RESOURCES [ EITHER OIL OR OTHER MINERAL RESOURCES] IS NOW A POLITICAL QUESTION. THE TRUTH NOW CONFRONTING US IS THAT OIL IS WHAT IS DAILY EXPLORED AND EXPLOITED FOR MONTHLY SHARING AT ABUJA,WHILE THE SOLID MINERAL RESOURCES, ARE PRIVATELY MINED, SOLD AND REVENUE ARISING THEREFROM ENTERING INTO PRIVATE POCKETS OF “OGAS” @ THE TOP. THIS IS AN UNDENIABLE TRUTH. THIS IS BUNKERING OR ILLEGAL MINING IN THE SOLID MINERAL SECTOR OF OUR ECONOMY.
SO WHO IS FOOLING WHO?
THE SENATE AND THOSE ON TOP AT ABUJA ARE NOW MAKING NOISE ABOUT ILLEGAL REFINERIES JUST BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO DISTURB THE FLOW OF OIL MONEY FOR MONTHLY SHARING AT ABUJA.
THIS WAS THE REASON KEN SARO-WIWA WAS JUDICIALLY MURDERED.

WHERE IS THE JTF,ARMY,POLICE, CIVIL DEFENCE, AIRFORCE,EVEN THE COURTS OR LAW AIMED AT THOSE MINING THE SOLID MINERALS ILLEGALLY IN THE NORTH, WEST AND MIDDLE-BELT STATES

WHEN THERE WAS LEAD POISONING BASED ON THE ILLEGAL MINING OR BUNKERING OF SOLID MINERAL IN ZAMFARA STATE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT USE OIL MONEY TO PAY COMPENSATION TO THE PEOPLE AFFECTED THROUGH THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

I SUGGEST THAT SINCE OUR LEADERS BASED ON THEIR ECONOMIC BENEFIT ARE NOT WILLING AND READY TO FACE AND CONFRONT MASSIVE CORRUPTION IN THE OIL INDUSTRY, THEN THE ENTERPRISING YOUTH INVOLVED IN THE SO-CALLED ILLEGAL REFINERIES SHOULD BE BROUGHT TOGETHER. A WORLD CLASS TRAINING INSTITUTE OR FACTORY SHOULD BE BUILT FOR THEM, WHERE THEY WILL BE TRAINED BY COMPETENT HANDS TO DO EFFECTIVE REFINING OF THE CRUDE FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION,WHICH WILL SOLVE THE FUEL CRISIS.

ENOUGH OF THE DECEIT BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, AND OTHERS THREATENING SANCTION AGAINST OIL BUNKERING ONLY, WHILE BUNKERING OF SOLID MINERAL IS ONGOING.

GOD IS WATCHING!

1966 Coup: “The Igbos Now Vindicated And Exonerated”Olusegun-Obasanjo Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so called 1966 “Igbo coup” were: 1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Midwest Region Igbo) 2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “Why we struck” 3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region – Yoruba). 4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Midwestern Region – Igbo). 5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “The reluctant rebel”. 6. Lt. R. Egbiko (Midwestern Region – Ishan). 7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region – Hausa/Fulani). 8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region – Yoruba). 9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region – Bachama). 10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region – Middle Belt). 11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Midwest – Urhobo). 12. Lt. Dag Warribor (Midwest – Ijaw) 13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa) 14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv). The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is because the government of Nigeria has refused teaching Nigerian History in our schools. And core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup. ………………………………………. Yoruba – Igbo fact sheet. This article has no tribal sentiments. Pls add ur own facts if u have any. History will always tell us what happened. 1. Azikiwe defeated Awolowo to become the first Nigerian Premier of Western Nigeria (present Southwest plus Edo and Delta States). Awolowo instead of forming Opposition, rather formed Egbe Omo Yoruba and used it to intimidate Yorubas that won election on NCNC platform to cross carpet and join him against Azikiwe. This was the first parliamentary coup in Nigeria. 2. Awolowo from then on, started indoctrination of Yorubas against the “threat of Igbo domination”. That is how the incurable seed of fear of Igbos was sown in the psychic of Yorubas which Yorubas later sold to other groups through Yoruba control of the media for decades. 3. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa , Nigeria ‘s first Prime minister could not tolerate Awolowo’s treacherous and inordinate ambition of acquiring political power by all means and at any cost. So, he threw Awolowo into prison for treason. 4. Samuel Ladoke Akintola who replaced Awolowo as Premier of Western Nigeria tried to destroy Awolowo’s political grip on Yorubaland by forming a party to takeover Western Nigeria in alliance with the Hausa-Fulani oligarch who Awolowo despised as a backward race. Consequently, Yorubaland went ablaze in revolt against Akintola’s plot. Law and order completely broke down in Western Nigeria. Wole Soyinka wore a mask and forced announcers at Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation to declare that Akintola’s government was a fraud. 5. Yet, Tafawa Balewa refused to declare state of emergency in Western Nigeria in order to keep Akintola as a proxy for Hausa-Fulani interest. This was the MAIN reason Yoruba graduates in the Army were the brains behind the coup led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu who happened to be Igbo. 6. As Wole Soyinka and even Obasanjo acknowledged, Nzeogwu ‘s coup was widely accepted by a vast majority of Nigerians across regional, religious and ethnic divides. 9. But the dissatisfied Hausa-Fulani oligarchy who had majority in Nigerian Army infantry used their puppets, Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma and co to overthrow General Ironsi. 7. In order to win support of Yorubas, Gowon released Awolowo from prison. The Hausa-Fulani knew Awolowo’s fear of Igbo as the only group that stood against his ambition to power. Gowon therefore quickly made a deal with Awolowo which in effect was that power would rotate between the North and the West (Hausa- Fulani and Yoruba) in post war Nigeria if Awolowo convinced Yorubas to join the North in fighting Igbos. 8. The Nigerian Army was consequently split into two divisions: the northern sector division commanded by Hausa- Fulani and the southern sector division, commanded by Yorubas. 9. Lagos, a city built largely by Igbos and were Igbos invested heavily, was also ceded to Yorubas as a State even when there was no Abuja at the time (1967). 14. Awolowo was made Vice Chairman of Federal Executive Council and Finance Minister. All federal government owned banks in Nigeria at the time which included the Central Bank and First Bank, were under Awolowo and Yoruba management. It was a deal Awolowo could not resist. The man was an unscrupulous Machivellian anyway. 10. The Igbos were eventually defeated and Yorubas became champions of nationalism. 11. Awolowo tried to make sure no Igbo man or woman would ever be more than acfinancial destutute let alone have the financial resources to rival a Yoruba 12. To achieve his objective of permanent Yoruba supremacy, Awolowo insisted that every bank account owned by an Igbo, regardless of how much was in it before the declaration of Biafra, would only be replaced with twenty pounds! He instructed Yoruba Permanent Secretaries who took over the Federal Civil service when Igbos left, to make sure that Igbo senior civil servants were not reinstated but to rather retire those who could not be dismissed as rebels. The same policy obtained in the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Police . 13. The Igbo were not only made pariahs but also financial destitutes. 14. Every house and industry in Igbo city was destroyed by war. Schools were closed for 3 years and many were razed to the ground. 15. Awolowo masterminded the indiginization policy by which Yorubas bought over all companies in Nigeria using money readily made available to them by the banks under their control. The Igbos were excluded. 16. They rejoiced and relaxed and complaisantly asked: “How could Igbos ever rear their ugly heads up again”? Sure, if that had happened to Yorubas or any other ethnic group, that would be their end. But as Awolowo rightly feared, we happen to be Ndi Igbo. 17. The shooting war ended 45 years ago and we are still here. We have survived all policy shenanigans contrapted by treacherous Yoruba masterminds and executed by their Hausa-Fulani allies. 18. In frustration, they have realized that we are who we are. Imagine their frustration! Never mind all Yoruba masterminded psychological attacks on Igbos disparaging us in any way they can. 19. Yes, Federal government policy has made them the tycoons of oil and gas, telecommunications, insurance and manufacturing. Oh, their Hausa-Fulani cum military allies gave Nigeria to Obasanjo for 8 years in keeping faith with their alliance. 20. Bola Tinubu is struggling for Awolowo mantle by forming an alliance of etho- religious jingoistic to ensure power keeps rotating between Yoruba and Hausa- Fulani. Where is the position of the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria.

Chaiii!

Man inhumanity to Man.
Hmmmm, what a world?

I think mankind need God's kingdom more than ever b4, where there will be 2ru peace and unity.

Details of the May/June 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination emerged on Thursday with states in the South-East, again, leading in the performance chart of candidates who obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics. Abia State topped the chart with 33, 762 of its 52, 801 candidates. This came as no candidate obtained five credits and above, including English and Mathematics from four Federal Government colleges. The schools are the Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga, Gombe State; FGGC, Bauchi; FGGC Gboko, and the Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan. To secure university admission in the country, a candidate must obtain credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics. Anambra State came second with 28, 379 out of 46, 385 candidates. While Abia State scored 63.94 per cent, Anambra got 61.18 per cent out of 100 per cent. Edo State took the third position with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidates getting five credits and above. It had 61.05 per cent. Rivers and Imo states came fourth and fifth respectively. In the 2014 May/June WASSCE rankings, Anambra State led the pack, while Abia State came second. However, with 4.37 per cent, Yobe State came last on the 2015 rankings list with only 646 candidates obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics. Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and eight-four pupils, comprising 10, 807 males and 3,977 females, sat for the examination in the state. Aside from Yobe State, seven other northern states occupied the rear positions in the rankings involving the 36 states and Abuja. They are Zamfara (36th) , Jigawa (35th), Gombe (34th), Katsina (33rd), Kebbi (32nd) Bauchi (31st) and Sokoto (30th). Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination placed sixth on the rankings. In fact, 32, 595 males and 35, 578 females obtained the required benchmark for university admission. The statistics obtained exclusively by our correspondent on Thursday also revealed that Osun and Oyo states placed 29th and 26th respectively. While 8,801 candidates out of 48,818 obtained the basic entry requirement for university admission in Osun, Oyo State recorded only 21.03 per cent success in the examination. Of the 78,896 candidates Oyo State presented, only 16,588 of them obtained five credits and above including English and Mathematics. The breakdown, according to a WAEC source, is the consolidated results approved by the council following its National Examinations Committee meeting held in November. One million five hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and eighty-four candidates sat for the examination in which only 562, 413 candidates obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics.

HMMMM IS IT THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DENY THE OBVIOUS TRUTH

Ngwa people that even have a statue of a missionary they killed and ate his meat....Just say it is not rampant again. but to be frank ngwa people like human meat alot..
.My grandpa would hv been a victim if not for his good friend that refused to bring him out the night your people came to slaughter him as a stranger...His friend told him that the wives request for brain from their cannibalistic hubby for cooking soup

I have nothing to say about ur post it's your personal opinion.

But if u or any of ur relatives resides or even work in ngwa land let the misery of the land da u curse befall u all, and let the ngwa land that u speak against today speak against you forever......because u can't beat a child and force him not to cry ,and if u have ever or if u ever gt any good thing from ngwa land let those things turn against u and bring calamity to u......curse be to u the day u will set ur foot on ngwa land.

obyrich:
Defective logic. Emeka Wogu and the rest people you mentioned do not have the backing of the NGWAS for their gross failure to attract meaningful development for us. All of them aspired to be governor but were turned down. Same thing goes for Alex Otti. IKPEAZU stood out amongst them all. Therefore he has our TOTAL SUPPORT. So Alex should move on like the others.

GBAAAMMM!!!

stylesco:
What have you done for your own people with the small change you have?
That man worked for his money.
Was just a salary earner.
Is he the the state government to provide transformer for the whole village??
Do you know how many thousands of youth that man gave jobs and alleviated from poverty??
Till I die I shall be grateful to Alex.
He doesn't know me, we ain't from the same state but he made me who I am.

Don't hide behind the Internet and criticize someone you know nothing about.

Am so disapionted on the way you reason. You did not mention even a single tin he did.
Hav'nt you heard abt pple who are philanthropits.... giving out scholarships empowering the young ones

Have you not heard abt the man Uche Oga?? Have you not heard abt how hes been helping his ppl & Abian's

But this your Otti what has he done?? NOTHING.....

Even whe he was called upon to please provide a loan for the building of ABA MEGA MALL he refused, even when he knw that Abia youths will be employed in such project in our state.

It was some one from another state that granted the loan for the building of ABA MEGA MALL that is rated to be largest in Africa.

You ppl dnt knw this Short and Big eyes man calld OTTI OH!

SeanBeezy:
it's obvious that you are dumb in all ramifications. Even your use of the English language says it all *useing*. Come to think of it, which of the roads leading to which compound? The one in Arochukwu or the Isialangwa house that almost caused issues with your greedy Ngwa kinsmen. Your people deserve what they're getting. I can remember my grandfather offering a walking stick and dry gin for a large piece of land. Fools!!!!! Keep calm till the Supreme Court gives him his stolen mandate

.I never really expected this from some1 like you. Am really surprised with ur choice of words. Anyway this is typical of poeple who lack the words, ideas & required intelligence to defend themselves & properly Engage anyone in a sound argument without quickly slipping to insult in frustration! TOO BAD!!!!

One thing that baffles me so much abt these ppl shouting Otti this..Otti that, is that they cant even lay a hand on one thing or give example of a single thing this Otti has done that can serve as a pointer to his goodness. Last week, i went to Ottis acclaimed home in Isialangwa .....admitedly he has very fine structures in his compound. But was shocked to see that what his kinsmen are useing in the name of NEPA light...Candle shines very brighter than it. I askd them why is their light like that? They said it's been like that for years...that where their Transformer is located is very far. I askd them, What abt the one at Otti's Frontage?.....i was told that he was useing it all alone in his compound. I dont even want to talk abt the road that leads to his compound. What a SELFISH MAN. What a SHAME. Some one that can not help even his own ppl. Too Bad!

Groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are considered a very healthy snack. Although small in size it plays a vital nutritional role and contains amazing health benefits. The health benefits includes: 1. Helps Promote Fertility (Folate) Peanuts contain a good amount of folate. Repeated studies have shown that women who had a daily intake of 400 micrograms of folic acid before and during early pregnancy reduced their risk of having a baby born with a serious neural tube defect by up to 70%. 2. Helps Fight Depression (Tryptophan) Peanuts are good sources of tryptophan, an essential amino acid which is important for the production of serotonin, one of the key brain chemicals involved in mood regulation. When depression occurs, a decreased amount of serotonin may be released from the nerve cells in the brain. Tryptophan may raise serotonin’s antidepressant effects when there is an increased amount of serotonin in the blood. 3. Boosts Memory Power (Vitamin B3) Do you know what can be found in peanuts that gave them the “brain food” tag? This is due to their vitamin B3 or niacin content whose many health benefits include normal brain functioning and boosting memory power. 4. Aids in Blood Sugar Regulation (Manganese) One fourth cup of peanuts can supply the body with 35% of the DV of manganese, a mineral which plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. 5. Cancer Protection A form of phytosterol called beta-sitoserol (SIT) is found in high concentrations in some plant oils, seeds, and legumes including peanuts. Phytosterols not only protects against cardiovascular disease by interfering with the absorption of cholesterol, they also protect against cancer by inhibiting tumor growth. 6. Helps Prevent Gallstones It may come as a surprise that peanuts can help prevent gallstones. But 20 years of studies have shown that eating 1 ounce of nuts, peanuts or peanut butter a week lowers the risk of developing gallstones by 25%. 7. Boosts Memory Power (Vitamin B3) Do you know what can be found in peanuts that gave them the “brain food” tag? This is due to their vitamin B3 or niacin content whose many health benefits include normal brain functioning and boosting memory power. 8. Helps Lower Cholesterol Levels (Copper) The same nutrient which gives peanuts their memory enhancing power also helps lower and control cholesterol levels. Added to that is their copper contents which aids in reducing bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol levels. 9. Lowers Risk of Heart Disease Numerous studies have shown that regular nuts consumption is linked to reduced risk of heart disease. Peanuts are rich in heart-friendly monounsaturated fats and antioxidants such as oleic acid. So take a handful of peanuts and other nuts at least four times a week to reduce your risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease. 10. Lowers Risk of Weight Gain Eating nuts regularly is associated with a lowered risk of weight gain. Research has shown that people who eat nuts at least twice weekly are much less likely to gain weight than those who almost never eat them. Surprise!. Groundnuts can be enjoyed raw, roasted, boiled and fried, Whichever way you choose to prepare your groundnut, just make sure you enjoy every moment of it.
