Afam4eva: Were you not the one that supports Enyimba and hates Rangers? I must be mistaking you for someone else.

centje: Na wa o! Thanks nedu210.
The Bishop okoye in awgu diocese?

centje: yeah,i recently noticed the place is been cleared. Please, help us with the history of the place,you seem to know much about enugu.

Afam4eva: I think Enugu government should think of developing a new city in the outskirts of Enugu that will house skyscrapers and business districts. That will give Enugu an International feel and put it on a pedestal to compete with other cities in the world.

ACM10: It is an estate close to Central bank. I forgot its name

Odenigbo Aroli: What da hell is "ugbawka" ? We need more details to be able to help you.

henrychubayo: If you guys don't stop this nonsense going on here, i will report you guys. Are you not ashamed of yourselves? This attitude of my state shows that if one from other states sees what is good coming to another state, giving the chance, he will block it. Don't you see why other tribes are better than us. My state, my state, my state. Seriously, if am giving the opportunity, most of you talking here will never be permitted to be ibos. Shameful human beings. Instead of us to promote eastern inter state speed train service that will go across the whole east, you are here debating unnecessary statements. People will see these, and conclude we don't have peace. What we need here is more pictures and less talk. Those who are against the title of this topic should please open a topic like these with the same title but different states and post pictures of the latest project and dividens of current administration. Plz do not talk of governors here, do not talk about states here, do not compare states here, do not criticize anyone here, post pictures of other states projects here if possible. Let all these insults end once and for all. We are the same.

one.east:
In your mind it is livable? And the place is a place with the least population in the east. Don't let me embarrass you on this thread. You need to go back and find out what development is about. This was an existing roads that the gov over-laid poorly, not that he did something new and significant in the state that you warrant you guys to be jumping up and down enugu this! enugu that !. Like somebody already said dissociate SE from your show of shame, because we have more important SE cities that do Ndigbo proud than all these una nonsense. No wonder Ndi-ofe use to laugh at us.

afam4eva: I really don't have a problem with Abagworo, it's some people that are pushing him to say what he's saying. Even though i'm from Enugu, i can tell you that i've had my eyes on Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba for a long time to become the pride of Igboland because these are the cities that can compete worldwide because they have that commercial and industrial feel that Enugu or Owerri doesn't have. It's unfortunate that our Anambra brother will not agree that the way Onitsha is now is not the way it should be. They keep living in denial that Onitsha is now the best thing to happen to the world after Chineke onye nwe anyi. I want to see a clean and modern Aba and Onitsha in my lifetime and we have to keep talking about it and anybody who doesn't like it can jump off the Niger Bridge into river Niger and have his body fed to crocodiles.

one.east:
Stop it!! Now Abagworo is being forced at gun point to say the obvious fact?? Answer me?
We are okay with the position of Onitsha. Go on and talk about your own place mediocre Enugu state, don't talk on behalf of us and others. Onitsha is getting better by the day, it can only get better, foriegn investors are trooping in on daily basis because conducive environment. Stop mentioning Onitsha on the same page with Aba, because Onitsha is light years ahead of Aba in all its ramifications of development.
Good job Abagworo for standing up for truth at least for once.

Odunnu: Umu igbo!
O bu gini kwa nu?
Ka anyi kwusi i mebo onwe anyi biko nu

afam4eva: It's a shame that some Igbos have the habit of putting other people down. Is it a coincident that people who do these are from one part of Igboland? I could care less if Aba, Owerri, Onitsha or Nnewi is better than Enugu. The first Igbo city to become a megacity will be my number one. I don't know what we benefit from rubbishing other parts of Igboland apart from our own.

odumchi: Enwe ana na-eyi ihe ukwu?

Eifeh: what is the name of your town? I think enugu west called it okpa becouse nkanu people call it okpa too

Eifeh: How far
do u know Nenwe? Ndee gi
emero?

Eifeh: in my village we call it okpa Nenwe in enugu state

Eze Promoe: The word 'ukwu' can be used when refering to the whole leg but 'okpa' can be used when refering to it in parts e.g mkpisi okpa (toe), mbo okpa (toe nail) etc.

agbotaen: 1. many nigerians like to think that their ethnic groups came from heaven or the names were pronounced by god and this is a lie ,
2. 200 years ago ,almost all the major nigerian ethnic groups were not in existence and that include yoruba, ika, igbo, bini, ishan, ijaw and the rest , it was british influence that helped concretise many of these groups, what we had were kingdoms and empires like benin empire which included most southern nigeria ,ika, bini, ishan, uhrobho, isoko, itsekiri, and many anioma and some yoruba areas like ondo,akure, owo and others, and we had kanem bornu empire, sokoto caliphate and others , then later even agbor kingdom included many communities in edo and delta ,and then we had abor kingdom too ,and we also had oyo empire which included many yoruba towns and even dahomey in benin republic , so as at this time where was yoruba? where was igbo ? where was ijaw or others , the answer is they did not exist as an ethnic group like they are today, but these people existed as city states like opobo, okrika, owa kingdom, abavo kingdom, owo kingdom, onitcha kingdom and others .so let all this people take note , it was even the british that started classifying people as igbo and they classified them according to some culture traits, linguistic evidence and some times because of politics, so as time went on they aslo helped to create the standard igbo many speak via christianity and education ,by combinning many dialects together .and this they also did to the isoko by calling them uhrobo and this lasted for a while untill the isoko people asserted their ethnic nationality.
so there is no ethnicity that was brought from heaven it is man made and so a people who think they are distinct can establish their own ethnic identity.just like ishan and bini speak similar languages but they are different ethnic group.

One_Naira: Afam4eva you guys do not realize how much impact that word has. Many of the deniers go along the route of "I'm not Igbo" because of that two words. Remember that one statement from obi of owa, he said something like we are stretching our hands to reconnect, it is SE Igbo that are holding back and. refusing to reconnect. I can't remember he's exact words but it is something similar to that. The term "fake igbo" kinda gives the impression that una do not see us as one of you but rather a set of ppl that have no identity and trying to force ourselves onto una. Which sadly, I've witness many SE igbo even the usa born say. Few months ago, i went to a Nigerian gathering. It was mostly delta ppl, one yoruba, the girl from imo state, an onitsha chick and my sister and I. The conservation got into about delta igbo. Exactly the same thing you started a topic on, why are delta igbo not just called igbo. I don't remember what motivated her to say this but all i remember is the edo chick said something and the imo state girl said "well they are not igbo. They call themselves igbo" addressing that word to delta igbo. Sad thing is this girl was born and raised in usa so her mindset shouldn't be like that. Luckily, the onitsha jumped in and corrected her before we did. Yes that word, those two words have a lot of impact. It is idiotic to think like that but what do you except a person to think when you are constantly called fake, wannabe, etc.

odumchi: What about Eke?
Certain groups in Imo state call God "Eke kere uwa" meaning "the creature/being that created the world".

NRI PRIEST: Bros,I dont really care whether you like it or not but you better steer clear and dont say a word when Chino attacks. You dont speak for anybody here,so stop acting like you are some authority here.

How would you like a thread with a title that reads " ANAMBRA THE SUPERIOR IGBO"

spyder880: I went and saw the progress of work at the new secretariat complex in Enugu. Work has started in full for the building of the complex, Arab Contractors are the builders on site, so much activity in those areas. I took some shots and will post when I get more chance.

They prevented me from taking photograghs from the bridge building site at Ziks avenue Enugu. An overzealous security man told me they have orders to stop anybody from taking photos, still Arab Contractors site, solid looking constructions.

I also saw a new road being built around new haven extension, coming from the airport, its on the right hand side from new haven junction, opposite Dannic hotels and across the rail line. So many projects going on at the same time in Enugu and the governor has not granted a press conference in 3 years we have even forgotten how his voice sounds. He will not launch any of the completed projects and he will jump into another one.

THANK YOU SULLIVAN.

pazienza: Nice thread. Are ugbo people nri? Seeing as they have ozo and nze institution?
