It does not lead to State house. If I start posting roads done by Okorocha we shall get to 100 pages and counting. The truth remains that many people are busy looking for anything to fault his achievements but his achievements are too glaring to be swept under the carpet. This is Nworie layout built by Okorocha too.

is that not the hotel being built by emeka ihedioha??

some even ask Google ( where can I get free akara and bread).

Lol.. I travel down east every three month, rochas has don nothing. unless those roads are found in rural area, BT when u talk of urban centers like where heavy building construction are been don around naze and the rest, umuguma, to mention BT a few, u will shed tears.

everything writing up there point to the fact that yo trying to say, this is not a case of Nigeria Biafra, BT nnamdi KANU vs PMB. due to the fact that NK insulted PMB. it goes to show that PMB can not withstand critics. if he was as upright as he claimed, he would have proven NK wrong.

globe16:
The same obi that was building malls all over Nigeria as governor was cutting cost, to me, no difference between obi and rochas except that rochas is more openly pro north... I dont see people mentioning performers like Chime for president, maybe because propaganda works on gullible Nigerians

still better than rochas. I don't know much about chime, tell me about him. am just out for good governance.

I still prefer peter obi to that clown and embarrassment called Rocha's, am from IMO state and I will still say it again Rocha's is the worst governor IMO state has ever had. peter obi knew how to cut cost, and that the trait of an economist that he is. awarded contract or not as long as he didn't embezzled state funds he is okay for me. yes they popped champagne when obiano won. qoute me won".it not like they did it everyday or during every celebration.I think peter obi or okonjo iweala has my vote for the next Igbo president.

when did iPhone become an achievement... was evening looking to see a house or something. Lol.if cloth and agbada 5000k and I phone 200k ke let just assume. if that what makes u a Yoruba demon.my brother wake up from ur slumber.Igbo demons own houses that u and ur fellow Yoruba demons rent.

so it thought (E) Nigeria is not truly independent, so it goes out to get rice before it was caught BT rice was too expensive due to(B) recession, due to (A) hunger, and the fact that it has not be paid it (C) No salary, before it was caught by the president, it decided to use that opportunity to(D) protest the high cost of bag of rice by refusing to fly.

all those girls that like asking for recharge card. expect this from me when u do.

Once again no strangers lived among Igbos before colonization Why?they would be eaten.
Our history has nothing to do with whites. You see shallow thinking?? That somehow whites are needed to have history

show me where ur history where written by ur ancestors nah. what type of writing existed during those period of documentation.at least we are not like you that where warring with ur neighbors,if they ate people then surely they must have eaten all the olukami that ran from the brutality of ur monarch.

omonnakoda:
Lol don't be ridiculous. Nsukka? Tell us the history of Nsukka. Tell us one thing that is recorded anywhere about Nsukka that happened 200 years ago just one thing. You folk have no history to report.
Once again There was no town in Igboland that was not essentially an Umu Hamlet. There is no record of strangers living safely in Igboland without being eaten

this shows how shallow ur thinking is, do u think am here for to measure ethnic history with u, the documentation of the history of the Yorubas, easy because they had that figure head, who told the white all that yo bragging about, BT in the case of the igbos just as everything with the Igbo was when it comes of the documentation, for the fact that they lack that figure head and it would be a huge task gathering stories from one town to the other, I feel the whites just lost interest.

omonnakoda:
Tell us the name of the Igbo nation or nations that existed before colonialism? What you had was little hamlets .There were no towns in Igboland. Not one

does nssukka ring a bell, owerre, Arochukwu, ngwa, u call these places hamlets??

First I am not from a tribe. Igbos are the ones that have always operated at the TRIBAL level. The whole Umu this and Umu that thing is a TRIBAL ideology. Check out the dictionary meaning of TRIBE
I have nothing to gain by splitting any one. Actually strictly speaking Ijebus are not Yoruba. I have gone to great length to explain this. The Ijebus, the Ekitis the Egba the Igbomina and so on were Nations in their own right. Let me repeat that so it can sink in they were nations. The Oyo were another nation and the Oyo built an Empire by subjugating these other nations. None of these nations were known as or called themselves Yoruba. The Oyo also subjugated other peoples outside present day Nigeri in what is now Benin and Togo. The Oyo were know by different people as ,Yoruba,Oyo and Anago or Nago.
The Oyo shared in common with many other similarities of language and custom as well as a shared belief that life begun in Ile-Ife and that they all originated from there. But they were different nations and this must not be forgotten.
You can compare this to biblical stories/legends where different nations claimed origin from Abraham and so on. They had similar languages and customs but were different nations though from time to time they were unified under empires such as Babylon or Rome and so on.

When Nigeria came about those people in the SW realising they had a lot more in common than others have all now decided to adopt the identity of YORUBA but that is relatively very recent. Ekiti and Ondo have always had stronger ties with Benin and Oyo have had ties with Nupe and Igala and some Ijebus and Ilajes have had ties with Ijaws and so on.
Ilorin broke away from Oyo for several reasons but at the time that affair was no business of Ekiti or Ijebus who were completely different nations.
This idea that because people speak the same language or have similar customs they are one nation or one people is funny and exposes a profound ignorance of history around the world. Switzerland has been around for centuries. There is no language like Swiss. They are largely Germanic with French and Italian influences but do not identify as anything other than SWISS. I have wondered why this is so hard to grasp but now I understand how the the tribal mindset operates it is clear.

A tribal people operate at the level of a clan, they do not marry within their clan and trace their ancestry to one person in relatively recent history

I would love to correct both myself and urs, Igbo is not a tribe but rather a NATION, we may not have practiced the monarchy system of government like most ethnicity in Africa BT that's doesn't make us less of a NATION.

omonnakoda:
Well Ijebu and the other "Yoruba" nations are not "tribes" . I suggest you check the dictionary meaning of the word. The Ijebu Heartland is Ogun State but they also have two Local Government Areas in Lagos State: Epe and Ikorodu.
If any nation were to claim superiority it would be Oyo since Oyo was the one that occupied by force most of what is now Yorubaland and their dialect is the most influential in spoken Yoruba today. Yes Awolowo was Ijebu as is Wole Soyinka but Obasanjo is Egba and the Egba aear politically stronger in Ogun State. Tinubu is not Ijebu neither was Abraham Adesanya nor Gani Fawehinmi,Rotimi Williams, Benjamin Adekunle( The Igbo friend),Fela,MKO Abiola,Hakeem Olajuwon,Davido and so on.
Honestly the Igbos are more tribal or clannish than Yorubas and so the kind of discrimination you will find among Igbos to Igbos does not exist among Yoruba. The Ijebu nation are indeed very successful in their own right but so are other Yoruba nations. Culturally there ae very significant difference between Ijebus and other Yorubas and if not for Nigeria Ijebus would probably not be called Yoruba but there are many shared commonalities including intelligibility of language. There is one very significant difference. Ijebu did not practice female circumcision and this restricted the level of intermarriages historically. Just as other groups had different tribal marks which all go to show that there were different nations which shared cultures but significant differences. The coming of Nigeria have brought these different nations together under a common cause

you see hw protective you are about ur tribe and the similarities BT the ijebus and yorubas.BT what does ur tribesmen stand to gain from trying to split the Igbo in the east and the igbos in the south ( ikwerre &ika to say BT the least) when you all know that they both share equal similarities, just as there is a distinction between the the ijebu dialect and the Oyo dialect(it doesn't make them less Yoruba), same can be said for the above mentioned tribe(Igbo). I still don't know if the division begin created by ur kinsmen on Igbo related matters, if it helps swell their verious account or put found on their table. and to the op.the igbos never operated the monarchy system of government, the most popular leader that was know thru out the Niger delta was EZE NRI the spiritual leader of the Igbo.he was well known in the old Benin empire.Igbos are the aboriginal of the land they occupy today,their old religion is similar to Judaism, that why they feel affiliated to the Jews. I expect to see a similar tread like this soon from those who never get tired of looking for trouble.

HoldenCaulfield:
Fair question. Well my contribution towards nigeria's development shall start after i finish school, i shall join the NDLEA and make sure that i catch all those nasty ipod yoots trying to smuggle drugs and all, boy i can't stand those people smearing my dear country's name all over the place or something. And i will like to become.... Well thats all i can remember right now.

tribalism, so if u spot anyone aside ipob youth(Igbo youth ) yo just gunna tell them go and sin no more.

I would say it a win/win. it shows the people still had PDP at heart.for PDP to gather such amount of vote.APC should be worried. PDP should take that as a positive.

am happy for them, 042 east back to back, now other region can take the title, south south next, I tip rivers united to win next season premier league. congratulation 042

WorldRichest:
South-Easterners and South-Southerners will vote for her. However, their combined votes including inflated non-existing votes will still be less than the votes of Kano plus Kaduna plus Katsina states. Go back and review the 2015 presidential polls. As for we South-Westerners, we shall never vote for the puff-puff checked world bank fraudster and voodoo economist who colluded with Goatluck Jonathan to dip Nigeria into recession.

yes the same economist that helped your oju eja obasanjo, omo obor.maintain a stable economy bah.u guys can be sentimental not atimes BT all the time. now u see a clever, intelligent Lady with pedigree and someone that commands respect from world leaders without being a politician. one that can attract investors and drive the economy. and yo here speewing trash. biko don't vote for her. does ur count anyway.

I pray it should be true ooo, she has an investor friendly profile being an economist, am sure she will win the heart of many investors both home and abroad without becoming a johnny walker like this current president.

SonofDevil:
Show us the pics of schools,roads,hospitals, obiano built with anambra govt fund and comissioned.
Apart from fly over bridges and uncompleted bridge.

am not from anambra, BT if this is real then it a laudable project, BT that not why am qouting u, u mentioned schools which local government in anambra is lacking in that aspect. what u should be complaining about is not about building schools BT maintenance that the key word, maintenance.

FunkyMetahuman:
rotimi amaechi is Yoruba name
I guess he is from osun
Ayo oritesjafor nko?

Odeh

I hope the mod are seeing this?.

FunkyMetahuman:
and who said he is igbo man ?

Use your brain before you talk... Which Yoruba man has Princewill has surname?


He is obviously from south south, but your bigoted brain Has been programmed to blame everything on Yoruba.

Flat head

yo so blinded by bigotry that u left all obvious comment that backs my claim. just to flap those duck wings of urs. now tell me is wale a Yoruba name or not?. shuuuuuu! just answer the question .well know south south is not a tribe, so is it a Yoruba name or not?.

APCsupporter:
I rather feel more threatened by the domestic animals I see on the streets. We have always known that ipoop is simply an attention-seeking group. Nothing more

yes and their attention will soon be found, just as it found urs. it will find those in greater authority.

A Yoruba man spotted someone that looks like tompolo and placed it on net, not an IGBO man oooo.. BT look at how some of u guys left the confused fellow, and attack someone that has no business with the said controversy. yorubas attack wale princewill and take ur eyes off the igbos. we are not the cause of Nigeria's bad state.
