Abagworo:
My point remains that division usually seems an easy solution but not always the best. You can learn that from divided businesses and families. Division comes as a last resort.

@bolded those who were benefitting from Okorocha are still benefiting. I and Okorocha are almost financially equal so he cannot do much for me. I supported him cause he was a good Governor and nothing more.

I have been one of your great fan here on Nairaland cos of your unbiased views in things about igboland despite your mom (having Roots from Ekepye)..
Its interesting to know that you aren't really financially down like somepipo think you are!

Thumbs up for that
But hope you aren't doing against what we are all preaching against here, by investing away from home?
I believe if you have such riches, you should also in your little way, be doing the things you can for the better growth of alaigbo.
Rich regards...

Twitter has studied Buhari's body language, the ban will not be lifted until further notice.

Buhari has stated it in clear terms, " I keep Twitter ban to myself".

But I thought tiny dot moving in circle can access Twitter using VPN, so what's the fuse about?

This ewedu bandits
So it's only certain region that uses Twitter
For your info
South wasters uses the app more self

I personally hate the idea of Biafra with any non-igbo!
Only Igbos from Niger Delta (excluding ikwerre nd Ika) are permitted to join
I wouldn't like a towel of Babylon country with oil mentality

Kinematics:
There are several definitions of the word Niger Delta depending on the context its been used.
Niger Delta as in SS Nigeria
Niger Delta as in geographical delta of the River Niger
Niger Delta as in oil producing states

Depending on the context you'll know which they are referring to. Have you seen anywhere south south people add any state that's not South South state when talking about Niger Delta?
Ibo man use your head oo and keep your palm oil producing Imo and Abia States to your SE neither are we referring to Ondo State. When South Southerners are talking about Niger Delta we don't mean oil producing states rather our geopolitical zone.

Oga no sane Igbo man wants to form any country with you sir...
But you see etche,anioma (excluding ika), Ohaji, oyibo and co
Start clear out of there
As for ikwerre we have already dashed you guys!

Goodluck in your 9ja delta country

Yen yen yen
Ana ekwu eri!

All this online parrots
Be talking anyhow
Without reasoning properly

So if I log on to my Twitter account
You will log me out or what?

The same way you
Banned crypto
And after that Nigerians bought more crypto than ever before!

This is unsophisticated
Rivers, cross River, Edo nd Delta state are the cultism headquarters in Nigeria
Almost every young boy there is a potential cultist
The worst part is they are so lazy with oil mentality
They even lazy to do Yahoo like there lagos counterparts, (which might reduce the way
They drive people's properties nd Moni)

And we said we are not doing!

Just give us our own country!

The problem use
Abia people don't even pay tax
The rather settle taxes forces

God bless his hustle

Sometimes I wonder why able men and young busy in a hustling city like Lagos
Goes about doing cooperate begging

Nawa oh
How could he explain
This, that after serving as mere military man fighting Boko Haram, bandits and Co surviving all these only for him to die after promotion

Too bad

Anyone close to hope uzodinma
Should kindly tell him
To build 2 or 3, 9 to11 story building
In strageically places like new owerri (pH road)
Or that assumpta cathedral side
To give the city a beautiful outlook
And also by so doing
Introducing high-rise
Which I know
Our people will equally follow suit in building theres

Yes
I have 3 already planning to add more

Hashabiah:
That's not all all. Another example was the Federal College of Forestry in Ibadan in Oyo State, which got N50m for the construction of street lights in Edo State. Can you imagine? But we can't talk because Buhari is fighting corruption

Lolz oga this your own story
Sounds like a joke oh

Can't stop laughing

Will Soon Start happening in Nigeria

Oni
The Yahoo boy

Nawa oh
All they gas supplier in ogun state should be investigated
This is not first time we are hearing such news this year in ogun particular

Chia...

Pearlqueen:
Talk about good road network and interconnectivity, Abia has got it just like almost every road in Aba is linked. That is the master plan of the city by early men of the state who at that time meant well for the state.

Abia has only been unfortunate to be poorly governed and that has been the killer punch that still makes the state stagger till now.

Yeah
British people really finish work in Aba planing
Buh the FG is not helping matters at all and to worsen the case Abia has an little above average governor by Nigeria standard,
When at this time of fg neglect the need a top notch governor like Dave umahi,

Pearlqueen:
Wonderful.

I won't be surprised that this is the effect of cutting corners and in turn making use of substandard materials to finish a job.

Thankfully, no casualty was recorded.

I don't understand what Abia state did to Nigeria
From The government down to the individual from other region
Could you believe that I toured SE last year and Abia is far more modern urbanised than many states in Nigeria
But FG..shaa
Entering Abia from Akwa-ibom is bad (federal road)
Entering the same Abia from IMO, bad
Entering from Rivers bad
Entering from Cross river worst
Giving everyone the impression that Abia has bad roads while in the actually Sense, Abia with 3 commercial cities dwarfs many states in Nigeria! And has more roads than many States,
Infact I don't know why FG just decided to gang up against Abia, all round
Just look at the a federal building collapsing before construction completion

So bad
Federal medical center indeed

See the way federal government would have killed Abia people with their substandard project

Nice one

AKswift:
Like Igboson1 stated, the growth, demand should be organic. Take for example, l wouldn’t build a 10-floor high rise in Owerri for office lease because the demand is not there, except it’s a personal hotel. The only viable market for high rise in Nigeria is Lagos, ABJ, and Rivers coming distant third. Remember investment is influenced by ROI, which Owerri can’t provide.

Another angle to look at this is high rise building for luxurious apartments, which we see on the island in Lagos. The average income level in Imo state can’t support that. Even the few who can afford it would rather stay in their mansion in New Owerri. Plus, Imo, and the East in general, do not boast of substantial skilled immigrants like Lagos who live in such service apartments. An industrialized Imo state will make this happen, but the state is not there yet, so this high rise buildings, for now, is not economical; l would prefer an organic growth

Oga
I kindly disagree with you
Building high rise in the East does not really need to be organic like you guys are saying,
Waiting for the evolution to start individual is the reason while eroupean cities don't really have high-rise like there American and Asian counterparts,
Do you think it would be easily for people to start demolishing there 5/4 storey buildings (which is the current ongoing on trend now) to build high rise.
Even when the are making gains

The truth is IMSG should build few high rise in the cities rent it out at lower price,and gradually increase the price
With these other private institution will follow suites, thats how it works
Even in Lagos, government started the constitution of 5-7 storey buildings b4 individuals joined (check most government own estates in lag).
Even cities less populated than our cities all have high rise in other continents
I was even surprised that little Gaza that's roughly has 2 millions has such number of high rise contrary to what I thought!

Fact is, our region is the most dense populated in Nigeria
So we need high-rise more than any other region

Nice one

9jakool:
SE is more densely populated than most parts of SW, but SW has more land to go around because it's slightly more than twice as big as SE. So even if SE has twice the population density of SW, the population of SW as a whole will still be bigger due to sheer size.

I've looked at google maps and much of SE in particular Imo, Anambra and Abia state (and Akwa Ibom) appear like cobweb from space which is a result of the settlement pattern of villages that bleed into neighboring villages via intertwined roads. This type of settlement pattern breaks up forests into fragments and this coupled with lack of protected forested area in SE Nigeria leads to significant amount of deforestation. What you said about SW being less densely populated is actually what's saving SW. Like you said settlements in SW are more spaced apart (except for Lagos-Ogun border corridor) which creates lots of forested areas between towns.

It's a shame that the SE is the only zone without a national park. SE is virtually in the tropical forest zone yet SW has more protected forest area despite a larger chunk (Western Oyo and Ogun) being in the savannahs.

The only other place worse than SE in terms of deforestation is Lagos. In the next 50 years, most of Lekki and Epe which hold most of the remaining forests in Lagos would be built up and without regard for creating enough protected areas. This would only add to the flooding problems of Lagos since trees along the coastline hold on to groundwater and serve as buffer against coastal erosion and flooding.

Lolz..
Oga cashsteady your brother said South East is more deserted than south west
(That's the main issue) which we all know is false because despite the 2006 undercount census in South East, it's still shows that south west is more deserted than SE.

Modified: anyway since you talked about planning, I just checked goggle earth view and I can tell you that there is no South West city that's as planned as ABA (pictures below)
Ibadan is even worse in terms of planing
So I wonder how you came to conclusion that south west cities are more planned,

I wonder how you came to the conclusion that there's is no park or Forest reserve in South East
Ogbeni calm down the lie now, I Know about 3(one in Enugu, 2 in Abia) yet I don't reside in South East.
So I don't know how you reached to your assertion,
Also if you have ever been to south east you will know that most part of South East is already built up more than your Nollywood imagination, infact states like Delta/Akwa-ibom and some part of Rivers are ripping spill over population of south east ( i.e Asaba which used to be a village, is now receiving heavy population spil over of onistha, likewise ABA and Akwa-ibom and some parts of Rivers)


Below pictures of ABA from statelite view
Now post a picture of any south west city let's compare in terms of planing
I can still show you pictures of onistha, (so you will see how the main onistha layouts are being arranged) also I can still show you pictures from Enugu Parks, (it's Even popular everyone knows this except you)

Cashsteady says south east is deserted
Lolz
Hope you are aware that south east is the most dense populated region in Nigeria (goggle these)
Abi you don't Know geography
Or you don't Know how to use Google maps

Imo state alone is more dense populated than Oyo (goggle that)
Aside Lagos
South West is just a village jungle filled with brown roofs

Guy like seriously needs to travel
Even some parts of the north are not as empty as most places in South West (aside Lagos) anyway I love the way Yorubas lies and believe there own propaganda,
Just take a look at the 2006 population census
Now compare south east and south west and tell me where is more deserted per landmass (although many Igbos in South East refuse to be counted, because of the Massob activities then) but not withstanding calculate with the undercount data.
Below are pictures of first
1st
Ogun/Lagos boundary: which should be the most populated place in South West (using Google Earth view)
2nd IMO/anambra boundary
3rd Delta/Edo boundary
Now tell me which one is more dense populated and built up
Don't always rush to public forum to disgrace yourself
(Use Google statelite view to cure your ignorance and see how empty south west is)

The don settle this ones

Some times
I do pity for this people
They keep settling many nigerdelta traditional leaders, doing many scholarship programs.
Yet many niger delta youth will still engage in Bunkering reduce there profit, and when bunkering cause spillage
Niger Delta people will still be angry about they damages it done to there streams, and some organizations will still drag shell to court
And if you see the amount shell normally pays for compensation you will really pity them!

Yet they people of nigerdelta keeps blaming them (saying, they milk them dry) while shell has been paying it due taxes to F.G as enshrined in the constitution.
Now how do we want shell and other companies to succeed in nigerdelta with these oyel mentality ...!

No wonder dangote
Skipped nigerdelta to build his
Oil firm in Lagos, if not
Niger delta youth for kindap his staff finish
(Through militancy) and accuses him of milking them dry and been the source of there poverty
While nigga pays his taxes accordingly!

Interesting....

They man

HIGHESTPOPORI:
I thought it was Asaba

No onistha
Asaba is mainly used as casting location
Due to it closeness to onistha
Since onistha is crowded and shooting of movies there is almost impossible
