Abagworo:
Sometimes I do wonder what you people gain by all these deceitful posts on social network all in a bid to discredit Mr Okorocha. I visited the tunnel and the standard is very good and drainage very well constructed. Anyone in doubt should visit and see for himself. The tunnel has an underground tank for water storage during rains and installed pumping system that pumps excess water to existing road drainage in case of flooding as seen on the OP's photos. Underground tunnels everywhere do get flooded after heavy rainfall and installed pumps used in pumping out the excess flood water.

Let's take a look at these flooded tunnels in UK and Saudi Arabia.

Water flowed into the Midtown Tunnel through air
vents when Thursday's heavy rainfall overwhelmed
pumps on the Norfolk side, as well as a settlement
tank beneath the road. This has happened before
during storms, and no damage was done to the
tunnel, according to Leila Rice, a spokeswoman for
the tunnel operator, Elizabeth River Crossings.

Local people in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh
take pictures of a road tunnel which flooded during
heavy rains on Wednesday, completely submerging
vehicles, and a fleet of trucks converge to pump out the
water. One person is reported to have died and city
authorities have been forced to close roads and
thoroughfares as a result of the weather, which is due
to continue into Thursday

Abagworo....it's not just about flood..the construction going on is not standard..someone just pointed out the the bridge has been closed for fear of collapse!

Whatever

I am still very confused about this BH thing, it seems we are not being told the whole story! I just cant understand how a christian girl, forcefully adopted, forced to change religion, forced to get married and start being a mother, could say with her own mouth that she is in love with those who molested her! Well, I can understand she is a child, and I can understand the level of hatred coming from her own people, but still I do not think that she should be in love with her molester.

Love is Stupid!

Gbammm, u just nailed it.

This is serious. It seems Mr Metuh isn't shakened after his inceration at kuje prison. For him, to have the mental and emotional stability to be part of the meeting shows he's strong willed.

That's normal for looters,scammers etc!

Don't they have an Internet service in government house?Rubbish!

If we are ibos an so what !!!!, bottom
line we are never ever going to be biafra
Majority of white American's have irish
ancestry does that make them ireland
citizens?
What about New Zealand and Australia
do they still belong to Great Britain?
What Niger Deltan we saying, is that they
hate the idea of biafra and very
comfortable with project
Nigeria
-------------------------------------------------
Its not that we have anything against the Igbo its just that "Agbor le Owa esi ni elewe ndigbo" its that simple we do not wish to identify with the Igbo as a matter of fact my relatives have warned keenly that they will not approve marriage to an Igbo and I see no reason why not wanting to be Igbo should be a problem to any body.
I unapologetically state that Agbor le Owa have stated long ago that they are not Igbo neither are we for biafra and still upholds that. You either accept this as a fact now or face it on the d- day when you do not see us fighting with you. it is not an act of cowardice, betrayal or backstabbing this is just the mistake the British made with Igbo and Nigeria that has led to the death of one million plus and we do not wish to make same.
However, igbo may find brotherhood among the aniochas and probably with igbodo also. Agbor le Owa and majority ika say they are ika, let them be ika don't force them to be who they are not. your fathers have tried that and have failed trying to use their numbers against our minority; before one ika says he is Ika, more than a dozen Igbo attacks him but we are never intimidated by you. For more information's and clarity, pay a visit to orogodo and say to them you are Igbo and your land is igboland and see the response don't let one non ika or an ika who was not bred at home and relies on google in knowing the meaning of his name deceive you. "I am Owa, I am ika, am not ndigbo I am nwaebon" obi ya tor nein fe o.. nmuebon alua ni, uwaoma baba, liyenio nwa onye owa. ishiegwari. #one nigeria

The new MD OF NNPC is an IGBO MAN FROM DELTA STATE.he is from ONICHA UGBO which in delays state which is an IGBO TOWN In DELTA STATE.delta state has different ethnic groups namely; itsekiri,ijaws,isokos and igbos and the term delta Igbo is used to differentiate the igbos of delta state from other ethnic groups.THE PAST LEADER OF THE OHANEZE NDI IGBO, late AMB RALPH UWECHUE IS FROM OGWASHI UKWU in ANIOCHA SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT which is an Igbo town in delta state.and the likes of NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA,AUSTIN OKOCHA,AND SOME OTHER PROMINENT NAMES IN NIGERIA ARE FROM OGWASHI UKWU AND OTHER PARTS OF IGBO TOWN IN DELTA STATE.there are also names like PAT UTOMI,WHO ARE ALL FROM THE IGBO SPEAKIG PARTS OF DELTA STATE and are proud IGBO PEOPLE and are actuve people in the Igbo groups.HOWEVER,ther are few elements who are in self denial of their true identity but I can assure you that deep down in them they know who they really are;IGBO.and these are people used for this divide and rule tactics by other ethnicities in nigeria because of the fear of IGBO DOMINANCE but they will fail because the majority of the Igbo people of delta state are PROUDLY IGBOS and have contributed immensely in the development of the entire Igbo land which stretches from south east to south south.I AM FROM OGWASHI UKWU(NWA ADAIGBO,the founder of the town from anambra state),ANIOCHA SOUTH,DELTA STATE AND A PROUD IGBO MAN AND MY FAMILY IS NOT LEFT OUT.ALSO I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE IGBO SPEAKING PART OF DELTA STATE ARE PROUD IGBO PEOPLE.THE FEW WHO SAY THEY ARE NOT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS THEY DO NOT SPEAK ON OUR BEHALF.THANKS

una no go kill us

If you don't have anything reasonable to comment just keep shut.

mumbasa:
Ukwuani is not a dialect and it is not Igbo. It’s an ethnic group it’s a language that is linguistically similar to Igbo language.

Something makes Umu- igbo sees themselves as always superior. Igbo, Ukwuani, Ekpeye, Ogba & Ikwerre are familiar tribes. Let everyone respect each other instead of claiming the territories of one another. The greediest among these tribes is Igbo.

All over the world we have distinct tribes with similar language and no one claims that the other person is answering his name so he must be Igbo.

Spanish and Portuguese – they both answer names like Diego, Jose, Fernando but the Portuguese man doesn’t wake up to tell the Spanish man that you are answering my name and you are Portuguese.

When a Portuguese man answers Rodriguez it’s a portugese name similarly when a Spanish man answers Rodriguez it becomes a Spanish name.

NO ONE OWNS THE NAME.

Uhrobo and Isoko – They both answer names like Afoke, Oghene.

Bini, Esan, Etsako – They are also different languages. I don’t mean dialects

Eleme and Ogoni – Some similar names but again different language and no one claims the other.

Ukwuani ,Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Ogba, and Igbo language – Big problem because the Igbo’s say we are answering their names but let me point out that if an Igbo man answers Chukwu it’s an Igbo name, If an Ukwuani man answers Chukwu it becomes an Ukwuani name similarly when an ikwerre man answers Chukwu its now an Ikwerre name.

Itsekiri and Yoruba language – they also have same problems with Yoruba’s but let them speak for themselves.

Ụkwụànì (sometimes spelled Ụkwànì) are a distinct ethnic group of people located in the heart of Delta State in the Delta North Senatorial District they occupy three local governments in Delta state and some of them bleed into Rivers state. They are closely related to the Ndoni people found in Rivers states in Nigeria.

They didn’t say they are not Igbo’s because someone drew a map and that placed them in Delta State. Remember that before the war they were all in one state with; Igbo’s , Ikwerres , Ijaw’s and Itshekiri’s called eastern region but they supported the Nigerian cause during the civil war and do not in any way consider themselves to be of the Igbo stock. Ụkwụànì language has 88% resemblance with dialects of Aboh and Ndoni.

When an Ikwerre, Ekpeye or Ukwuani man tells you that he is not Igbo it doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with the Igbo’s or it’s a bad thing to be Igbo but don’t just use your ignorance to discard my identity and give me yours. There are many very intelligent, successful, rich talented Igbo’s spread all over the world so you can see that there is nothing wrong with the Igbo’s.

JUST DON’T DISCARD MY IDENTITY – Maybe the Itsekiris and some people in parts of Kogi and Kwara feel same because I have heard many of them say I am not Yoruba and the Yoruba man says your name is Tunde how can you say you are not Yoruba.

Shatap!

Wings of Nigeria!!!.smh.

Tinyemeka:
@OP Breakfast bill amounted to 1, 542, 000 Lebanese Pounds. As of today, 1Lebanese = 0.1316 NGN. Hence the bill was approx NGN202, 927.20. Or that 4-digit USD figure also written on the receipt.

Modaf***er illiteracy is a disease. Go treat ur self ASAP. That's how clowns like you'd come to the bank with Korean Won, expecting stacks of Naira in exchange. Idiota!

I'm pretty sure Emami put up that receipt pic there cos he was sure expecting this kind of response you displayed.

My question is this,why would a literate man post a copy of his bills online?whats he trying to prove?

tpiadotcom:
Below that is the room number, isnt that where you got 1408 from?

1044 and 1408 are not the same and can't possibly get that from there

tpiadotcom:
1408 is the room number, its clearly written on the bill.

Look at the bill very well,the amount due to be paid was probably in Lebanese currency and below it is conversion in dollars 1044.01

Warri billionaire, Ayiri Emami,his brother Aje Emami and friends are currently on vacation in Beirut Lebanon.

They are all having the best of fun as the Oil mogul and founder of the 911 Beach and Resort in Delta state splashed a whooping sum of N1.5million on breakfast today.

Pictured below are Ayiri Emami and his crew catching fun at the Four Seasons Hotel in the country.He also shared a pic of the receipt of the breakfast.

Total is $1,044=N207,308...not 1.5 million naira.

iidiot. for now nothing like obi of Agbor; is "Dein of Agbor".........AND THE WORD "DEIN" IS NEVER IGBO.

What title did the previous kings of Agbor go with in the past before it was changed to dein by the current king of Agbor and what was the reaction of the elders of the Agbor kingdom on the change of the title?

babygirlfl:
First of all if your going to be marrying one of us, you have to know how to address us. We are not delta Igbo, ( I have no problem whatsoever with Igbo people. Just love to be called with what we really are) we are Deltans or Anioma or if you want to be specific you say Ukwani, Aniocha or Ika.

To your question, generally it's not expensive unless of course the family is a greedy one. In my place the bride price is returned and the traditional marriage is hosted by the brides family with or without the support of the grooms family while the groom's family sponsors the church/court or whatever marriage they choose to do.

My dear,being called delta Igbo is simply a way to differentiate igbos of delta state from other tribes like the itsekiris,ijaws,isokos etc.if you don't like being called delta Igbo,you would rather asked to be addressed as an Igbo man or woman from delta state as we have other ethnic groups in our state.responding to you as an Igbo man from delta state,I would rather not accept to be called a deltan because we are not regarded as the 'core deltans' by the other ethnic groups that share the same state with us te igbos of delta state am they would forever refer to us rightly as igbos.Anioma as you said is an acronym formed by late Dennis osadebe which is used to bring all igbos of delta state under one unbrella and its never an ethnic name and will never me.The anioma which you prefer to be called is coined from the local governments occupied by the igbo people of delta state,ie ANIOCHA,NDOKWA,IKA,OSHIMILI AND MA was added to it to have a meaning anioma which is an Igbo word meaning GOOD LAND.
And for your information,these local governments that make up the anioma are no ethni groups as well and it will be quite insane to tell us that you are ika,aniocha,or oshimili when asked which tribe or ethnic group you belong.it is more like asking an Igbo man from anambra which ethnic group he or she belongs he comes to say he is ogidi,nnewi or even onitsha ethnic group.if you have problem being identified rightly as an Igbo from delta state,that's your personal problem.its no longer a news that we have bigots from our Igbo part of delta state.however,keep denying who you are but don't drag all of us who are proudly Igbo people from delta state into your myopic view.no insults intended.thanks

Pls,when doing these,leave your children out of your strategies.you may think your children don't know what you are upto but they do and your wife will definitely beat you at your game.Kids tend to be closer to their mothers.

Aside the excessive audacity which breeds arrogance and pride with Igbos, This is the part i like about Igbos...Everything is business...let truth be told. Igbos are way ahead in business in Nigeria. I entered Ladipo market one day and couldnt find one shop owned by a Yoruba man in the two hours i spent there. I think business is genetic for them. can you remember the ''my oga at the top stuff'' while some of us typed on the internet, Aba boys were thinking business. Mbaka spoke against GEJ, few days after, (Mbaka but why T. shirt was all over the market). They seem not interested in white collar jobs like every other tribe. If we have more entrepreneurs, the faster we come out of the corruption in public and civil service. when i finished NYSC, i was retained in the bank with one Emeka boy..I remeber during the interview, one of the panelists said, Emeka, you are supposed to be in Aba or Alaba, what are you doing here? the Igbo jokingly said, its capital am looking for..six years after, the Igbo boy resigned, we never knew he was combining banking with real estate business..on saturdays he was a house searching agent. he told me he sold two houses in Ikoyi and resigned...Till i left the bank, his salary account was in millions...doing so well in business, the latest he told me last year was that, one of the panelists in that our interview is now his account officer...I just love the business part of them and maybe the way they adore their wives and children. They take family very seriously. Emeka is so wealthy and lavishes his wealth on his wife and 3 boys. Needless to say he inspired me into business and i am doing well too, but not anywhere near Emeka.

Throw them into the Lagoon and see the potentials of that water developed by them.

Who told you igbos seem not be interested in white colar jobs??and I wonder why one of the panelist as you called it would ask such a question during an interview.from your write up,I think you trying to take a swipe at igbos and no sane Igbo person will like your write up

Basketmouth,it's Igbo not ibo.you should know that by now.

The point here is not only you should take the MTN offer for the pay but also for the experience which will add to you Resume.you will have another job Experience and also a higher pay.who knows where the next offer might take you to.A higher level I think.so come on,grab the opportunity and move on.God has more better things down for you.

Alishachris: you don't joke with religion and things of God bro! the ties run deep. I am a catholic but yet I brought up this issue because It is not right! evil flourish when the good men do nothing

I don't see anything evil here. The properties are serviced by the archdiocese or the Catholic Church. More over, those apartments or lavish apartments you labeled it are all shared by the priests and staff but that does not mean that's how all catholic priests live in every part of the world

ChinenyeN: What is wrong with the two of you? Don't bring that your endless debating into this thread.

Lol...Tony lets not get Agbotaen and the rest worked up

tonychristopher: just the same like us

ahu ohu



but thought agbor ain't one of us igbos

And from the similarity in dialects of agbor and yours,what do you think?

[quote author=Idun'oba ehis]Is Omuguo an igbo word? just curios[/quote]YES or did you think it migrated from BINI? ....SMH with this Bini theory!

Lindx93: Tnks....I downloaded the pdf file with 55 pages but all pages were empty except page one which has only the picture of an old man nd introduction of the history. What could be wrong

You just downloaded an online content and it would need an internet connection to view the rest of the pages.Probably your internet connection was too slow and thats why the other pages did not show.Best practice is,download and save the PDF file in your computer and then you can read all the 55pages offline.Still need more help,let me know
