Factshunter: Why do people have comprehension issue in that part of the country, ehn! ? But you just established what I said, yes, Waec is party of the education system " but it can't be used or used as an overall yardstick for the education system. Is that too hard to understand?
SuperBold: Igbo are few are few but they are like 5mill in SW that more than majority of tribes. During endsars when asked to go home most of them said they are lagosians that all they know is Lagos and they can even speak igbo or don't go to igboland. That's the case for igbos in other SW state too
springer: What is EBONYI & ABIA total IGR put together? and what is thier financial position in the nation according to NBS?. How much are they paying as minimum wage and what is thier workforce population put together?. How can you be proud of WAEC results of a Country you renounced? Just like you claim to develop a state that does not belong to you while begging for 'developers'. Do you want to be President of Zoo in 2023 Or Biafra? So much energy wasted on condemning BAT while your leaders keep defecting to APC. Political Hallucination.
Then compare Osun, Ekiti or Ondo to Abia State let's see
abnot: FG is broke cannot carry everything . FAAN makes profit from only three airports (Lagos , abuja and port harcourt). The surplus from these airports is what is used to fund other airports under FAAN. This is one of the reasons civil servants in FAAN are fighting the minister Sirika because he wants to concession the terminal buildings in these three airports along with Kano. Once that happens they will no longer get free money from lagos, abuja and port harcourt airports and they have not been able to make any of these airports viable. Nigeria suffers from its greedy citizens who pressure their governors into embarking in some unsustainable projects.
Within the south east every state wants to have its airport as opposed to adopting that of enugu as the gateway airport to the southeast. Why spend billions on an airport that will only see one or two aircrafts land daily ? The bayelsa government did the same thing spending billions on an airport project. Till today there is no commercial flight operation there.
AwkaFinest: Imo has the highest gas reserve bla bla bla, yet states like Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa keep producing more gas than Imo. Keep deluding yourself
I don see u wey dey here to learn. Ipob miscreant.
you are an idiot, I don't know how you people reason, he said Imo State has the highest gas reserves in Nigeria, not the highest in exploration
Oracleforce: Igbo people and tribalism are inseparable.....history has it that during the civil war, you forced your language and your culture on some of the minority ethnic groups in niger-delta....they were initially not Igbo but now that you have initially Your local language in all secondary, primary school they have no choice but to speak your language...
You forced them to lose their natural identity and culture, within the space of 3 and half years of civil war...I will be the last person that will join that kind of people...
You be fool, and na Devil itself go punishing you for fake news
Ekealterego: As much as I understand your point, I have a friend from Etche, and he will really have a big problem with you for saying he is not Igbo or remotely suggesting it. He claims, that this is a problem with Ikwerre and not them Echie. Although he claimed that some are just a bit neutral now. To him, the true Igbos in Rivers state are Obigbos and Echie. He does not believe Ekpeye and Ogba people are Igbos. According to the submission of him and his cousin during our discussions.
That's my point exactly, when you talk about Igbos in Rivers naturally you have to mention Obigbo's, Egbma's and Etche people, these set of igboid groups can never and will never join any useless Niger-delta nonsense, how do you want to draw the boundary? Where will they start the boundary adjustment? For example Etche has a boundary with Ngor-Okpala in Imo State, and these people speak undiluted Igbo, they have been living as brothers and neighbours for centuries with same culture and traditions and someone from Akwa Ibom or Edo is saying nonsense.
gidgiddy: This is not a question of being Igbo, this is a question of where people want to be if Nigeria breaks up.
All these people speak dialects of Igbo, there is nothing they dont understand in central Igbo. If Nigeria breaks up, would an Etche man prefer to be in a country where he understands the language and culture, or would he rather be in a country where he doesnt know what they are saying in Ibibio, Efik, Ijaw, Edo and a host of others? A country where all those minorities will take him to be Igbo anyway, due to his language and surname? I cant even tell the difference between an Etche man and someone from Imo state.
It remains to be seen
Please leave these people, they no nothing , can you imagine someone from Edo state looking for brotherly love from an Etche man, so for him mind Edo is more brotherly related to an Etche man than an Igbo man? Am from Ngor-Okpala in Imo State, an am more closer to Etche, umuna, Obigbo, Egbma than one unless Edo man. Infact if you are in Umuokoro community in Ngor-Okpala and you are going to Ndashi 1 and 2 in Etche in Rivers state you won't even know that you are already in rivers State, they use the same water source from Obike to Umuokoro in Ngor-Okpala to Ndashi in rivers State. Well let Nigeria breaks first, E go suprise them the way thing go align.
gidgiddy: What I never did understand about this second Niger bridge is people keep saying it is a South East project? One end of the Bridge is in the South/South while the other end is in the South East. It is a SS/SE project
It's a South East project, waiting concern South South for the project? Just because you have to pass through Asaba. South South doesn't have any tangible contribution to the development of South East? What does Asaba give to Onitsha? What does PH give to ABA?
ChimaAdeoye: A Nigerian airline United Nigeria finally names Enugu as its operational hub!!!
If this airline continues to use Enugu Intl. airport as its operational hub, it will massively improve the airport's viability especially when this young airline decide to begin conducting international flights from Enugu. Hopefully, more people will know about the existence of this airline to patronize them. The fact that they are the first and only Nigerian airline that will use Enugu as it's aviation operational hub should encourage people to patronize them because most of their mechanics, staff etc will live in Enugu and contribute economically to the city and the state. The way other airlines contribute to Lagos, Abuja and Kano.
Currently, the airline flies to 8 destinations: 1. Lagos (To and From Enugu, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Benin, Warri) 2. Abuja (To Asaba) 3. Enugu (To Lagos and Abuja) 4. Owerri (To Lagos and Abuja) 5. Asaba (To Abuja) 6. Port Harcourt (to Lagos and Abuja) 7. Benin (To Lagos) 8. Warri (To Lagos)
See Currently Operational Routes Below: Enugu-Abuja-Enugu Owerri-Abuja-Owerri Enugu-Lagos-Enugu Owerri-Lagos-Owerri Abuja-Asaba-Abuja Port Harcourt-Lagos-Port Harcourt Port Harcourt-Abuja-Port Harcourt
With plans to open up more routes in the near future. Book your next flight with United Nigeria!
kalu61: Yes, you are correct. We must grow beyond godfatherism to make our country better but as it stands now, godfatherism is part and parcel of politics all over the world. It's called mentor is fair term.
I never disputed Moghalu's competence, remember. I talked about his naivity in the game.
As for Buhari and OBJ, these are different scenarios. Those men were ruled this country: Leadership experience and also built their Network with the world, elites and masses. Do Moghalu has any of these?
Once head of state, their names were familiar and rang bell, can we say same of Moghalu. Do a market woman in your village know the name Moghalu. That's tells you how it will be difficult to sell his name.
The millitry men who ruled this country are still deciding who rules the country among themselves. Obj and PMB formal general with other generals behind the scene. Why did Moghalu visit IBB last week?
Moghalu cannot win a senate seat in Anambra, Ifeanyi Uba, Ekweremadu and Abaribe and co has more political value in Nigeria politics.
I'm a factual person, sorry if l hurt your feelings
kalu61: You could have disputed me claim but however, Yemi worked at the state level. Tinubu was the back bone of APC and Yemi was his gift. Yemi had godfather in Tinubu. Yemi was not selected because he is a Prof. or Lawyer
Now tell me, who is backing Moghalu? Who does he know? You are talking about presidency not VP.
face fact, this Nigeria political terrain for you.
That's where we are getting it wrong, must you have a godfather before you become a governor or a president? You and I know that Moghalu is competent enough to govern Nigeria, Peter Obi is even more better, so for me I don't subscribe to that notion of having a godfather before you become anything in Nigeria, and please I need an answer, who was Buhari's godfather, who was Obasanjo's godfather?
As for who is backing Moghalu, Same question who backed Buhari, my answer is simple The Masses, so what I will tell Moghalu is to try to work towards the masses, and then few elite, seems he has started that, but I wish him luck
kalu61: Umahi, Ogbonnaya Onu, OUK are the only three candidates from SE in APC.
Moughalu is not a politician and politically naive. He has no network, leadership experience and mass appeal. Infact, most igbos haven't heard that name. Only few of us online. I agree Ohanaeze don't have grip on SE voters but their power cannot be under rated.
I don't like how you guys bring down your own people because of lack of understanding, my question is who is VP Yemi Osibanjo before they picked him as the VP? Who knows him then? Didn't his people rally round him? Let's stop this please, even interms of economic know how moghalu still have more experience than VP Osibanjo
valentineuwakwe: I don't know why most politicians in Nigeria at too greedy n selfish..a country like Nigeria where ethnicity n sentiments is the order of the day, is where some on will call rotational presidency old school. Even if its not constitutional but a gentleman agreement was reach since 1999 by the various politicians n political party to allow power shifts btw north and south.this have been going on until Yar adua death. GEJ was suppose to adhere to that agreement but selfish southern politicians lure him to contest.even wen GEJ agree and beg Northern Elders n Elites to allow him contest n promise them to go for a term in order to win his support, he still tried going for second term and the result is what we are seeing now; the north still want to rule for another 4 years after 2023..
Now who hold claims to 2023 presidency? is it the south south, wishing to complete there 2nd term....is not the north, wishing to match n finish Yar adua term.....is it the west who claim TINUBU had an agreement with president Buhari to take over or the south east who are not yet organise but are spitting fire to occupy the seat....
I pray Nigeria don't boil over by 2022......everyone is talking about 2023 while the real timebomb will be 2022..May God intervene in the affairs of NIGERIA!
I don't understand what you mean by south east not organise
pinkgoodies: Am also in that imo state. Owerri to be precise. He has lost a number of that followership.. also, unlike ihedioha that talks to much, uzodinma is peppering him silently within the party.
Yes I agree with you on that, but he still have good number of them, because the guy still know where to press their mumu button
pinkgoodies: Loved by who. Keep decieving yourself if you think the people love him. Only those that ate on his table does that and they are few, because he ran a family govt. I voted him twice. I regret doing so.
Am from Imo State, I don't know about you, the elections that brought Rochas to power has been largely on people's choice, the only mistake he made was anointing his son in-law, if not, APC would have win that election with no sweat, presenting an Owerri man under APC would have destroy PDP and Emeka. So my point is that Rochas still have a lot of supporters in Imo State, but greed worked against him in 2019 election
BastardWike: I stopped watching this video when the narrator claimed that Calabar airport is busier and more viable than Owerri airport. Even if you're not informed about airport traffic in Nigeria, why not Google it instead of making a mockery of yourself. You even mentioned Owerri airport and sighed, like it was some crap.
Dude, a simple Google search should have informed you that Owerri airport is by far the fourth busiest in Nigeria, after Lagos, Abuja and P.H in that order. The Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri recorded 47,000 passengers in one month while Calabar airport you ranked above it could manage just 12,000!
If only Imo State governors have been up and doing, and fixed Owerri's roads, the city would have been among the most beautiful in Nigeria. However, that doesn't mean people, especially our fellow Igbos would always try to put it down unnecessarily.
Rubbish!!
Thanks my brother, I also draw his attention to that
oyatz: All politics is local. Politics of every State/Geopolitical zone differ.
Now back to the topic, a new polititical party (Third Force) by Okorocha, Wike and some other people will only jeopardize the chances of the the PDP/Atiku by splitting the votes of the opposition.
Only a United opposition can defeat the APC.
I totally agree with you, that will be their greatest undoing, same thing if Tinubu try to leave APC, no man is an island
Intrepid01: Your knowledge about politics is really shallow and little...i have been reading your comments since, common your points are either inaccurate, incorrect, not-well-thought of......so you didn't know what happened btw Saraki and his Father were a stage fight to install him as the god-father in Kwara? Many of you hardly understand Nigerian politics yet you speak with so much conviction. Look at how the same Olusola Saraki was disgraced in Kwara in 2019, he couldn't even secure his own seat let alone of securing the state. Like that guy told you, sentiments apart, Comparing Tinubu with Wike plus Okorocha is the biggest political insult of the year.
Oga, the point I raised is very simple, can Tinubu succeed with his brand of politics in the south east or south south, the answer is capital NO, is Wike a formidable politician ? The answer is Yes, is Rochas a formidable politician ? Answer is Yes, can they withstand Tinubu if by any chance they are from South West ? Yes they can, given their track record. About Saraki, it took someone with balls to look into his father's eyes and say no, and whatever happened to Bukola after that is not my concern. Please tske note: Olushola Saraki is the father while Bukola Saraki is the son
Bagehot: Wike had the support of GEJ's presidency before he became Governor, and has the backing of the most terrifying thugs in Rivers; who did Ambode have? Prior to becoming Governor, He had no experience in politics, no grass-roots movement, no strong grass-roots men on his side, how could he possibly have won against Tinubu, who even co-opted Fashola, Banire and co to push for Sanwoolu?
Didn't Obanikoro fight Tinubu tooth and nail as the minister in PDP? That was legit the strong-man of PDP in Lagos, who even used the military to harass Tinubu them at Ilubinrin - where is he today? Dude scampered back to APC when he couldn't cope under Buhari.
Are you sure of what you just said about Wike not having experience?
Who brought Ameachi to power? Please you have to do more research on Wike
PROUDIGBO: latest updates of works at the new Anambra int'l airport.
This clip shows best just how massive the airport is going to be, and also shows another construction besides the control tower and terminal we're used to seeing. I'm impressed with what's shown so far.....the level/quality of work done. You can tell by watching just how solid the taxiway/apron is, but i doubt if they can finish this by april! There's still a lot more work left to be done!
Good job, but you have to be very sure of your numbers before rolling it out to the public, Owerri airport interms of passengers traffic is bigger than that of Kano both international and local put together, and Calabar airport never had passenger traffic more than Owerri airport, infact Owerri is ahead of Kano and Eungu airport interms of passenger traffic. Please try to correct those mistakes in your video, nice job though.
