Ikengawo onye aguu. I know you don’t even have fingers because leprosy has destroyed you . Miserable frustrated old man. You should be playing with your grandchildren instead you are playing on nairaland.

HAHAHAHaHA! Chie see insult, anyways, enjoy Alsip.

crestedmazi:
mention 1 road in this owerri metropolis without a hotel, just

Imagine thinking a booming tourism industry is an insult lol.

Biodun556:
One of the reasons why NNPC can not supply local refineries is because Buhari government sold crude oil in advance in a contract that ends in June

There was a press conference he was with Trump in. Trump put a pile of papers infront of him and the idiot just began signing like a school boy. Trump was smiling like a cooked he-goat the entire time. That's when I knew that mugu was selling us live on camera. They didn't even talk they just shook hands and the papers came.

I have never seen one head of state hover over another while the other is face down signing papers alone on camera like a chimp

Nedu05:
lol

Jobless old man of 50, instead of walking around at Ariaria in your dirty cloth why not go to Anambra and help in cleaning my cars and cutting my flowers because right now I am vacationing in the States . Aba pig wanderer have you eaten today hahaha

How did you get to the Chicago area? A eche'm na I bu onye Spain?
Also, stop chewing your nails, you're too old to be that anxious

IPOB has spies within the nigeria government..

In America, waste, water, streets, schools, tax, police are under the purview of local government. Who makes up local government? People living in the community. In Nigeria we funnel external resources to someone answering governor to be in charge of allocating it to local government in places he hardly knows and we wonder why there is so much theft and irresponsibility in government.

Soludo did one good thing in Awka and that was put an honest hard working Awka man in charge of ACTDA. The roads got patched quickly, the squatter shacks along roads removed.

But for sustainability this model should be a city or town development agency run by qualified honest indigenes with clear cut responsibilities and oversight from both state and eminent leaders to prevent abuse.

The truth is, the Nigerian and American systems are extremely similar. One issue is the Local Governments do not do anything in Nigeria. People except the bare minimum from them and they deliver the bare minimum. And I actually think the SE local governments are the best, it is worst in other regions. Some regions they dont even know there's such a thing as Local Government Chair etc.

Everything you listed is also supposed to be handled by the local government but they're honestly more corrupt and useless than the governors. Governors are celebrities so everyone puts their eyes on them. When we start pressuring local governments, we will see a BIG change because no superman state government can do all of that for thousands of communities.

Chinowuaturu:

Ariaria 🤣😂
Chinoso dike Wilberforce
The 47 year old man hiding in the city of port Harcourt, yes I have eaten in Ariaria

What about you?
Have you eaten or should I call
fergie0O1 to give you food😂🤣

I thought Chino was in the US. Port HArcourt?

Every now and then we get news of conflict between Shiites and the state, or Shiites and Sunni. A lot of news and happenings from the north don't make it to the south and I could imagine it's also the other way around.

This thread isn't to cast judgement, everywhere in Nigeria, every state and every local government, has some sort of conflict. I have dedicated this year to learning more about the current affairs of the other parts of Nigeria so don't read this as a religious or tribal question. Our understanding in the south is 'Sunni and Shiite don't like each other', but I know there's more to understand than this.

Like all Nairaland threads, aimless people will wander in and try to cause trouble but I will only focus on mature adults.

Putindbutt:

Enjoy, Onyema is not doing us a favour. its our commonwealth.

iseee

Putindbutt:

Enjoy niger delta money. enjoy every moment.

Airpeace is from the Niger Delta so it's even better. I will enjoy

Putindbutt:
Checked all his profile, he has never owned any business prior to Air peace. He has never had any known business or worked legitimately with any firm that could explain his source of wealth.
From nowhere, Air peace came to existence in 2013, little did we know that the airline was established with proceeds of corruption during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan. The airline was established with speed express without any hassle from the authorities. The man behind the scene making every moves possible was the one and only Kingsley Kuku, the ex-SA and Chairman of Presidential Amnesty Programe, 2011. He was one of the few most powerful men in the government of GEJ, a very close pal of Patience Jonathan and President Goodluck Jonathan but he likes keeping a low profile. Kingsley Kuku appointed his colleague and confidant, Allen Onyema as his consultant for the Presidential Amnesty Programe. PAP handled multibillion contracts yearly on behalf of ND youths. 3 years after, there was an Airpeace.

It's too late, I have already booked my flight

Depriest2020:

Na Onitsha mentality you use dey judge that oversized circles, e too dey una quick quick. That oversized circles won't take you up to 15 seconds to drive past.

Onitsha mentality = intelligence lol, was that an insult or what?
At additional 15 seconds is a portal for creating unnecessary traffic jams, unless you think one person will use the road per day. Plus, why spend the next 100 years fixing and patching something that makes a commute less convenient, especially if you spent more to do it? So it can look good on an ariel view on Nairaland.com?

BeninRefugees:


Yorubas were sold so much that they make up majority of the slaves in Brazil , Haiti ,Cuba, Jamaica and Many other slave Carribbean countries

the marlians so much traded slaves and other commodities with Oyo kingdom that even the traditional Yoruba dress was of marlian Origin Yorubas later called "the boubou" agbada
as for the word Igbo

Igbo is the corrupt word for ndị gbo which means " Ancient"
just like Ahabam is called Asaba today

even almost all our ancient towns accross Nigeria bears it

Igbo ukwu - Anambra

Igbo ụzọ - Delta

Akwukwu Igbo - Delta State

Oyigbo - Rivers

Igbo eze -Enugu


tell me which SW town has Yoruba in it?

does "Yoruba" exist in IFA?


who gave the name? Fulanis?

Oyibo is was Obiigbo until the 1980s.

Penguin2:

Massage our ego for what?

Are we in power?

Na we go assign am oil well?

Are Igbos the ones that are going to give him pipeline protection contract?

Or are you pained that he has finally decided to rubbish the propaganda and falsehood that you lots have tried to propagate for generations?

Tinubu The Great of Chicagoland has thrown him and is fraudulent contract in the trash. I believe the government prefers Tompolo because he's not a baseless political postitute and slowpoke

the serious question is, why is every 'Ijaw leader' Igbo?

Jaja of Opobo, Asari Dokubo, Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonathan, Patience Jonathan, Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo.
What is the meaning of Kalabari in the 'Kalabari language'?

Bro, y'am han Igbo man gini?

I love Tinubu. I really love and appreciate that man LOL. Look how this animalistic fool has been thrown in the trash by JAGABAN and he's now h'an h'igbo m'aan. Tinubu has done more to punish the enemies of Alaigbo than many before him. I'm beginning to see his appeal. Let this glorious mandate continue

proeast:
Something is terribly wrong with the mindset of Nigerians and that’s why we have remained poor and underdeveloped.

For 8 years, Northerners supported Buhari, even when he was destroying Nigeria. The redundant old man was busy building a railway to Niger republic with borrowed Chinese loans. At the same time, his ministers were embezzling billions and committing all manner of frauds but Buhari’s supporters kept cheering him. Anyone that tries to criticize Buhari for his stupid policies and acts were immediately attacked and called ”Igbo”.

8 years after, the same Northerners and their supporters from the SW are now condemning Buhari and saying he destroyed our economy. You then ask, were they blind for 8 years?

Yes, they were blinded by bigotry, primitive tribalism and low IQ. What did the average Northerner benefit from Buhari’s maladministration? Absolutely nothing but they were ready to fight and die for him during those 8 years he was destroying their destiny.

Today again, history is repeating itself. Tinubu is impoverishing our economy and leading millions into poverty while many of his tribal people are busy cheering him on. Many are starving, destitute, and hopeless yet they keep supporting him. Fast forward to 8 years from now, and these same people will be the ones to condemn him.

Do you still have hope in Nigeria? Do you think the country will ever develop like this?

Nigeria gets better every day.

MasterJayJay:


Nawa. That's what I am pointing out na. You didn't check the title of the movie.

oh lol my bad

MasterJayJay:
An nwa boi?

They did not consult an Igbo language expert before giving it that title.

meanwhile you're putting 'an' before 'nwa' which makes no sense in Igbo or English

Depriest2020:

It was designed by the best brains with plans for future population growth to avoid same scenario to Lagos. There's nothing like hold up here, that's why people live in neighboring states of Niger, Nassarawa and work in Abuja.

Ok use your own brain, is that the most efficient and logical intersection or does it look cute from an ariel view? Because if it's not logical or efficient people will not use it correctly and the problems will persist. Forget that it looks good from and ariel, while you're driving it won't look like that lol

Owerri 2

Depriest2020:
Because of small small tiny tiny roads for east we no go hear word.

See the kind of roads we have here in the north and we don't make noise because we want more. 👇👇👇

This is so stupid lol. There's no logic in the design. Why would somebody double their commute just to turn on those oversized circles then they could have made diagonal lines that will get you further faster?

Beautiful couple, your children will bless in the NBA one day

Abagworo:


Enugu State had the highest increase in built up areas while Imo is now the most built up State.

If you look at Google Earth, Everything from Asaba/Onitsha to Owerri has virtually become one city,
While Aba and Portharcourt will likely merge physically in the next 5-10 years. If Owerri and Aba grow into each other, most of the SE will functionally be one continuous urban amalgamation.

Asswipemod:


Even the word "egunsi" is not Igbo. This inferiority complex has been shifted to food. Oga o.

which one is egunsi hahahahahaha

wediehere1:
Meanwhile

one of the stupid things that exists in Nigerian political spaces is if you mention any politician they will rebuttal by showing you an Igbo person who doesn't like or criticizes peter obi. Or just mention peter obi to begin with.

Nwanne, I live in the US. I have never met Obi in my life. If you want to die, die, but regardless I will be fine and Obi will not attend any of our funerals.

SoNature:


You people should stop making baseless assertions on Nairaland.

The most popular states and cities of Nigeria are the fastest growing ones; these are Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

Nigerians and foreigners invest billions of naira in those places, their governments are doing relatively well, and their real estate industries are about to explode.

Your talking from your emotions and not your brain

I ordinarily wouldn't post this but it's an eye opener for anyone who is still following and taking these politicians seriously in 2024
