May God slaughter IBB very fast. Amen.

All these wicked internet warriors sef. They wish Ojukwu dead, they wish Jonathan dead, they wish IBB, Abacha, etc dead. Others should die and only you people should live.

ak47mann:
they should have improved the health sector when they have the chance,looting and stashing away in foreign accounts is not a clever thing,and IBB was the spare head of corruption in Nigeria,and now he has to fly to abroad every 3 months for treatment ,sad really,
greed is a bad thing,

I understand what you mean but how would an improved health sector make him not be ill? The man is getting old and with that comes all sorts of poor health issues. If we have good hospitals in Nigeria, he will still have to go to them ''every 3 months for treatment''.

chino11:
Nigeria still need the general for his fatherly advice to building of one united Nigeria

The same fatherly advise he could not give for 8 years? I still wish him good health though. He needs to be alive to see what Nigeria becomes or not become in at least the next 10 years.

@Nchara

what u don't know is Ogbomosho was the 4th largest city or town in 1963, go and check the population census, if it was a city then, I do not see why it would not be a city in 2011. Having said that do u know that the over 1 million Yorubas deported from Ghana  in 1968, 98% of them were from Ogbomosho.

Go and do your research b4 yearning dust!!!

Just population does not make a city. Stop your ignorance. Where the hell is ogbomosho again ? Sleepy bush town with no single industry and 1000s of mud houses. Soon, like Dayokanu, you will say Ogbomosho has LAUTECH so it is a city. For which I will reply ''Otta also has a university if not two; it is then a city abi? Nsukka (with UNN) is also a city''. Go siddon, ma friend. E be like say you be Ogbomosho man too

When I read such things I begin to laugh at those who claim the SW is safe while other areas are not. Now robbing the hospital is the most unheard of thing elsewhere in Nigeria.

afam4eva:
I don't quite agree with you on the bolded. What makes Abuja, lagos and PH cities and not Ibadan, Enugu, Aba and Warri? According to wiokipedia there's no explicit definition of a city. I think we should look at things from the Nigerian angle. Every state capital in Nigeria, no matter how mediocre is automatically a city. Every commercial center eg lagos, Aba, Onitsha are also cities. Every cultural town with a sizeable population and some social amenities can also be considered a city eg Benin, Kano, Ibadan.

That has always been my position. The problem is arriving at what ''sizable population'' implies. Thus, I maintain that population is not the all-determining factor for a place to assume a city status. Here in the USA, there are cities of 30K people and there are cities of 2 mil and more people. All na city. There are sleepy rural areas in China and Indian with pops as high as one ml, yet they are not cities

Most Nigerian towns will be sizably populated but not all can be called cities, IMO. I do not see how anyone will truly refer to Afikpo, Okigwe, Ekpoma, Ogbomosho (yes, I want Dayokanu from Ogbomosho to commit suicide ), Okenne, Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, and all such places as cities. In contrast, a place like Ibadan and Lagos deserve to be divided into two cities or be referred to as conurbations (merged cities).

dayokanu:
How true is the statement in bold? You yourself now acknowledge that you know a First bank and Afribank in UI yet still made the statement in bold

When between Ojoo and Dugbe you would pass through UI and Bodija

Keep wallowing in your ignorance

If you are going to Dugbe from Ojoo what would you be looking for in Bodija? You don't even know your place. Shame

Ojoo-Orogun-UI (Agbowo)-Sango-Mokola-Dugbe. That is the straight route, dude.

You only go via Bodija and then to Gate before Dugbe if that straight route is blocked (before Sango) for any reason which I did not experience in all my time there. That could take another one hour or likely more.

Yes, those banks on campus are mostly for campus use. Once I went to Afribank U.I. to cash a check and I STAYED 3 hours due to crowd) . Most people I know and myself (coming from the Ojoo general area) use banks in Dugbe or Bodija, depending on the particular bank and where located.

Your claim that Access, Finbank and Intercontinental banks are in Ojoo is completely false. You better apologise before I ==============

BTW, my memory of the distance may have waned since I left, but actually Ojoo to U.I could be as far as 3 to 4 KM (only the very poor would trek that distance). So it is still very inconvenient for a place as commercially bubbly as Ojoo not to have had its own banks up until when FCMB was sited there. Even now one bank is grossly inadequate. It means all those 100s of 1000s of people living all the way from IITA area to Sasha and Ojoo would have to go beyond Ojoo up to U.I, bodija (veering off the route) and Dugbe, depending on which bank they use. That is inconvenient, no?

Hahaha! That Zik's B/W shoe na helele. lwkmd.

Did anyone observe that Nigerian cities photos of those days, usually in black and white, appear to be more appealing than those of today?

Egift, thanks for the photos. Do you have a current photo of Okpara Avenue that you can juxtapose with this old one for comparison?

Stop talking bullshit, I went UI and graduated in 1991, there have always been a First Bank In UI from time memorial, it has always being part and parcel of the different institutions within the campus.

From the foregoing, you could see we were talking of Ojoo.

^^^^^^

I though you claimed he was correct and I was wrong? Instead of all these incomprehensible 10 10 kobo gibberish you are spewing, why don't we talk about how not only deeply illiterate you are, but also your crass inability to understand? Ewu mpamah.

NB: Do not bother to respond because I am done with you.

emmatok:
LWKMD,

Everyone can see that you are the illiterate here, why quote someone's error in the first place.

At least you can edit your post. MUMU.

What an ignoramus. I quoted it so others will see his mistake (which he made because I mesmerized him) before he corrects it unnoticed. Duh!!!!!!!! Olodo.
Now I know why there is so much failures in exams in Nigeria.
Buzz off. Your mates are not here.

emmatok:
LOL,

You just confirmed,  you don't know the meaning of "Whatever rocks your boat".

Just carry your tribalism else where. ok

You illiterate. The person I quoted (quoted before he changed it) corrected his mistake after I showed it to him. YOU ARE A TABULA RASA.

@ nchara

are you sure you are not one of the inductees? remember, a small thief is equally bad as a big thief. the small thief just needs to be exposed to big loot and he will germinate to become a big thief.

may fire consume your rubbish village square, nonsence

You are Odedepo's mugu, am sure.

dayokanu:
Whatever rocks your both

On top of that you can't even write well? Is it both or boat? lwkmd.

I guess I have mesmerized you. Sorry ain't ma fault.

dayokanu:
Your link shows 3 access bank ATM in Ibadan,

Are you saying there are just 3 access Banks in a city as big as Ibadan?

First you said there is no Bank in Ojoo and you have to go to Dugbe to get a bank now you are acknowledging at least 3 banks there?

What other lies do you want to correct

maybe the poster who said you made this thread with an ulterior motive has a point afterall

It is not my link. It is the ACCESS BANK official website and a bank should know how many branches they have in any city. There are no 3 banks in Ojoo. Only FCMB (which I found out after your post) and that came after I left Ibadan. I know Ojoo like I know my name. OKayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I repeat, yes there was no banks in OJOO when I was there but now FCMB is there (which is a good news). I dare you to proove me wrong that there was any bank in Ojoo before FCMB came (whatever year they did after I left Ibadan)

So from where did you get your false claims about Access Bank, Finland and Intercontinental bank being in Ojoo? Bloody liar, you did not even know that U.I = Agbowo?

YOU, as usual, are a blantant liar and a concocter of stories. Now that you have been outted you wanna slip out. Damn! Ogbomosho bush boy trying all means to make Ogbomosho a city .
I am sure you were just passing by Ibadan. You know nothing about that place.

dayokanu:
FCMB, Access, FinBank, Intercontinental and many banks are in that Ojoo area,

Ojoo is a market area and you claim all these banks are none existent there? How dishonest can you be?

When was the last time you went to Ibadan and how many new generation banks were in Ibadan the last time you went there?

DK,

I knew you were exaggerating/lying about some of the banks in Ojoo

There is no Access Bank in Ojoo

http://www.accessbankplc.com/Pages/ATMLocator.aspx?value=Oyo&ln=Gy7UlI4cSJE94Wa2qudbFQ%3d%3d

There is no Finbank in Ojoo

http://www.finbank.com.ng/SearchContact/searchcontact.asp?TY=&cat=2&catName=Branch&sear=Oyo&psearch=Oyo&Submit2=Search+


There is no Intercontinental Bank in Ojoo

http://www.intercontinentalbankplc.com/portal/general/branches.php?select01=31&brfeature=Branches&clickedBySearchBtn=T&MM_insert=frmSearch

There is even no First Bank (the most common bank in Nigeria) there, but they are now in U.I (some 2 or more KMs away)

They only have FCMB which was not there when I was there,  Even though I left Ibadan before 2005, I know development has been terribly slow since then. ''Many other banks'' ko, ''many other banks ni''. Stop lying to make a point.

See as they gather themselves there. Bad, bad people

BTW have you heard that an Igbo man is now in the ICC as a judge? The days of your murderous uncle Adekunle is numbered.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-827596.0.html

dayokanu:
Those were examples of banks in that area as at 2006/2007.

SO when did you make your own assesment? 1989?

Since you mentioned New generation banks that must mean you are talking about a period post 2005 post 25b consolidation

Be sure am talking about the 2000s. New gen banks have been there a few years before 2005. Soludo just consolidated some of them. Now stop pushing and goading and let me rest okay?

Onlytruth:
My brother Obiagu1, I don't know what purpose deleting this thread would serve, especially when it contains some information about how we Ndigbo relate with ourselves and our leaders. I would never support masking faults. Maybe when others take full advantage of it and teach us the lesson of our lives, then, Igbo people would learn to be reasonable.
For me, the issue now is not even this mall. The issue is our people's tendency to attack and ridicule their leaders
without any sane justification.

Why are our people always eager to attack and ridicule their leaders as their first line of defence against any perceived grievance?

Take this character Bandit.C for example. If he did not like what I said about BOTH Enugu and Onitsha, why didn't he simply tell me that I was wrong and lay down his own argument? Did I ridicule his state or people in any way?
The story I shared was REAL and TRUTH. Did my fault rise to the level at which he needed to ridicule Ndigbo (because frankly I don't give a damn about anything  )? Why are we always quick to attack and ridicule our leaders?

Take a look at Amb Ralph Uwechue for example. At a stage I was wondering why he barely made any speeches.
Bros he is guarding against insults from his fellow Igbo folks. That has been Ojukwu's lot throughout his life of struggle. It is one thing to hold personal opinions and air them powerfully. It is the height of stooopidty and idiocy for any sane human to attack and ridicule his leader whether he voted for him or not. Politically sophisticated groups understand the importance of rallying round their leaders. Even if you don't want to rally round him/her, don't attack and ridicule his office.

Igbo enwe eze is very real, but we must also accept to serve others for as long as this earth exists.
So, the mods can decide to delete it if they want. I won't ask them.


About Chino11, I have SEVERALLY in the past cautioned and even verbally abused him here. At a stage he fought back and I still chided and left him. To my surprise, some of our brothers from other SE states lob me, Chino11 and other Anambra people into that same group. What else can I do? Now you have a professional maggot and hyena called Alj_Harem coming here to add his goat mouth into dividing Igboland to suit his demonic agenda.

Umu Igbo, I will tell you again.

There is no superior or inferior Igbo in Igboland. That is the most stoopid ideology for anyone of us to nurse whether openly or subliminally. There is no superior or inferior SE state. We are ALL THE SAME.
Even Nigerians states are all the same. Whoever doesn't like this fact is free to take a bath in a super concentrated acid.

Unu ekwesigo imara ihe.
Else, onye obuna zaa afa nna ya. 

My mission is to defeat this stoopidity that has held us down in Nigeria.
Unu chozikwa, anyi akuwasiba ife nine.
Onye obuna jiri ire ya guo eze ya onu.

I won't say these again. 

You will make a good eze Igbo. Unfortunately, I cannot see you to buy you a beer. May be I will attach it so you download and drink. Udo di ri gi.

When was the last time you went to Ibadan and how many new generation banks were in Ibadan the last time you went there?

Things may have changed liked I said. When I was there there a couple years back there were none in Ojoo. People had to get to UI (Agbowo) (those banking with Afribanks) and to Dugbe or Bodija. Actually I left Nigeria from Ibadan but won't say the year, in case anyone here tries to put 2 and 2 together to id me (after all I dont know whom I am even corresponding with now). If you think I am being dishonest, then I cannot help you.

Congrats to a great Nigerian and a son of Igboland.

Don't know, but maybe this guy can help Nigerians file cases of war crimes against some Nigerian war criminals who commit gross human rights violations and extra-judicial killings.

It is time Nigerians start dragging these men to that court.
Maybe this guy can help.

If he is ''biafran'' enough.lol. He may have forgiven Adekunle and the other murderers. He is from Imo as the MASSOB leader Uwazuruike, so may be that one can influence him.

dayokanu:
You said Afribank is in UI which is not far from Ojoo, also banks in Agbowo and Bodija yet in the earlier post you said you need to get to Dugbe to get a bank, which one should we believe now?

I know UI which isnt far from Ojoo would have more than one bank serving it

If you bank in First bank and most new gen banks which are what most people use, you need to get as far as Dugbe or Gate or Bodija.

Even from Ojoo to U.I is more than 2 KM, how much more Bodija. That is not convenient, or is it? Agbowo = U.I.

Yet there is some significant commerce in Ojoo with huge hausa markets in shasha, no bank.

Afribank in UI serves mainly the university back then.

I hope other banks are now in UI since Afribank is almost dead from corruption.

dayokanu:
Someone said he needs to go from Ojoo to Dugbe to get a bank?

Are you serious? The only bank you wont see in 5mile radius of Ojoo is Central Bank

If you dont know something just say it.

I have only been to Enugu once and my trip was limited to ANAMCO plant and Nike Lake.

I wont claim I know Enugu based on that short visit

A bank or two (Afribank and one other) serves the U.I community but you will agree it is mainly for students/staff. Coming from Ojoo, the only other place you will get  a bank is in Bodija and it is still some way off from Ojoo. Yes, most banks in Ibadan are in Dugbe. There is no bank in Ojoo and none along Lagos-Ibadan expressway up to Iwo Road or so. I lived in Ibadan a number of years, okay? Things may have changed since I left.
