ak47mann: Gbam!! wonder why they keep saying all sort of rubbish without evidence to back it upImagine! ![]() One even claimed that he is residing in Nnewi, but when challenged to produce pictures, he retorted with insults. I have CURRENT pictures of Nnewi ; I just don't want to share it here. ![]() If Obi is doing well, I want him to do better; if he is not doing well, I have already registered my voice through appropriate forum (here is not the place! ).I don't know why Igbo people come here to tear each other to pieces. |
Mr. Globe:Oh no, you didn't! ![]() You goats want to come here to continue your moronic wars on the backs of the rest of us. If you cannot post pictures, then you are nothing more than another thug running around; maybe those seeking contracts in Awka. Nonsense. For your information, governments have no business building 5 star hotels! And dual carriage ways don't pay civil servants and build rural roads, health centers and schools. |
Ejiné: Oh for goodness sakes, come off it, Onlytruth! Let's stop lying to ourselves for once! Abi you think Anambra is not like my second home. I stand bold to tell you that NOTHING has been implemented based on that masterplan! As at January 3rd this year, Peter Obi was struggling with the company he assigned to check the monstrous Anambra-Enugu gully erosion, cuz adequate tasks had not been taken to properly fix the crisis. At the time, he started looking for alternatives like Zerock and other developers to fix it.Okay my brother, calm down first. Would you at least admit that Peter Obi should not be fixing the Enugu-Onitsha expressway road, be it gully erosion, pothole or the lanes? That road is a FEDERAL road. I heard that Peter Obi is battling with some of the things that is not state government responsibility and you just provided proof for one. About the Master plan, are you saying that the government is ignoring it and allowing estates to spring up all over the place, or the roads contstructed anyhow? I know I saw some new roads pictures sometime last year being passed around in the Anambra forum. Are you saying that those roads are not conforming to the masterplan? I know that Peter Obi is not a flamboyant dude, but I sometimes struggle to believe that he is not doing anyithing. |
Tobius tobius: Okay, so I should stand in the middle of the potholed roads to bring some faceless NL stranger proof, right? Sorry, no can do.You see? My friend listen up. I am in the mailing list/forum of Anambra people worldwide. From the WAR going on between the supporters of Ngige and Peter Obi on that forum alone, I can say that there can never be fair representation of events on the ground in Anambra state. Each side wants to paint the other with evil colors. To make matters worse here now, there are people like you who would want us to believe whatever you are saying about Nnewi without showing us any proofs. Nnewi is MY HOME TOWN, so I have personal interest in what is going on there. I will visit home soon to see things for myself; but people like you should at least back up your claims with facts. That is the least you can do. |
Tobius tobius: I was going to just waka pass, until I saw Peter Obi's name mentioned. Please don't say that rubbish- what masterplan?Can you please send us the pictures of Nnewi roads? I don't know how most of you are there talking without showing any proofs. Won't you at least put your money where your mouth is? Pictures speak volumes. So, until you post pictures, you may well be a partisan supporting past defeated candidates. We need proof. ![]() |
Ejiné: Have those drawings been put to use? NO! All they have is a drawing for all I care, since absolutely no steps have been taken to even implement the plan, and that is the point of my comment.So, you would say that Peter Obi has done absolutely nothing in Anambra state? That, my friend, is a bold faced lie, and I hate lies with a passion. If I may ask,how do you know that the plans are not being followed? ![]() |
And BTW it is NOT TRUE that Awka has no masterplan. That is a lie. At least under Peter Obi, there is a UN sponsored masterplan for Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi. So, folks should stop lying about easily verifiable things. |

So, did anybody use the Google satellite as I suggested? Please my brothers, why is it that Anambra topics always generate so much venom? It doesn't make much sense. It is brainless to want to argue based on some personal hunch, or a tunnel vision; just use Google satellite. It is not so easy to lie about these things these days. So, please everybody calm down. At the end of the day, we are all Easterners. |
noiseless: Aah YAHOOROBBERS are know to thrive on fodged documents,it is not a thing of yesterday, how many yahoorobbers operate with the genuine certificates in everything they are doing, despite their wuru wuru free education yet they cannot be able to have genuine documents, the thoronto university degree holding governors and members of house of assembly are Yorubas alias yahoorobbers, 98% of their medical doctors are fake they can even clone your papers and even those working in the nnpc, most of them are fake certificate holders,that is why they will be the first and quick to scream at the niger deltan or anyone "AAH YO NO YO DONTI HAVI DII KWOLIFIKESEEON TO WOK HIN DE HOYE HINDOSEETORI/I MEEN WEER KAN YO GETI DII SATIFIKETI" so they master fodgers. My brothers are some of the most inventive minds known to man. lol ![]() My brother noiseless, I got your mail. It is well my brother. I noted EVERYTHING you raised in your mail. By the grace of the God of truth and justice, we shall get there. ![]() |
Okay, let me say my own now. I decided not to trust the opinion of the OP, or that of my brother Chino11 and decided to do something else entirely to verify things for myself. I did a Google satellite view of Awka and all other state capitals in Nigeria. I would suggest you all try it, in fact insist. ![]() My finding: Awka really shocked me in terms of development one can see by satellite! I had to use a microscope to see Ado Ekiti. lol ![]() The only towns clearly dwarfing Awka in the East are PH, Enugu and Owerri. Awka can duke it out with others. If you don't believe me, use Google satellite. The only snag I saw was that the road networks are not yet fully in place, though one may say that you cannot see the quality of the roads by satellite. All the same, I don't know why anyone would call Awka the least developed capital in Nigeria. Only dubious folks would say that. |
BTW that is part of why I hate Nigeria. The rulers of that country are so fearful of allowing the best Nigerians to take over ALL spheres of national life, because they are afraid that we will take over Nigeria. Well, if you ever hope to grow, you have no choice. There is a clear difference between a horse and a donkey. A donkey may get you there someday, but a horse will definitely get you there PRONTO. ![]() Think folks, think! ![]() |
alj harem: But that is not your case so why would u adopt something that is not you ?Nairaland's resident demon, how are you today? How are devion, perfidy and their little brother jipiti? Their mama doublespeak nko? lol. My closest associates know that the quote accurately represents my world view about leadership. ![]() |
I think I would adopt this quote because it summarizes my core beliefs about leadership. ![]() “There is no end to what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit” – Florence Luscomb |
[size=14pt]Chidi’s assets, a bridge and a prayer[/size] By[b] Hakeem Baba-Ahmed[/b] “There is no end to what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit” – Florence Luscomb I HAVE never met[b] Professor Chidi Odinkalu, the Chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)[/b] in person, although I hear he is the type of Nigerian I should list among my friends. Chidi and I belong to a cyberspace group which has many other people I know very well, most of whom think very highly of Chidi. Every time Chidi says or reacts to something someone says, you see evidence of learning, grooming and an open-mindedness rare even among educated people these days. Our group is passionate about most important things , and we often get all worked up for days when there is something to argue over. Chidi is always in the thick of it. So why is Chidi on the title of this column today? Because, on 23rd of November, 2011, he, as is required by law, went and declared the totality of his assets and liabilities with the Code of Conduct Bureau. So what, you say. Everyone does that. And you might even say many deliberately increase their assets to make allowances for what may “accrue” during the periods they hold offices; and then pray that the severe lack of capacity of the Code of Conduct Bureau to verify such exaggerated declarations will remain severe. They will then stay on the shelves of the Bureau until an exit declaration is made, which may not be cross-checked with the entry declaration either. Going the extra mile Chidi did not just go through the statutory ritual of declaring all his assets. You would think Chidi will be wary of telling relations, friends, in-laws and the entire public what he is worth. Some people who will say even your spouse(s) should not know what you are worth (but will make allowances for telling them your liabilities) will be shocked that Chidi went the extra mile of requesting that his declaration should receive full public disclosure. In other words, even though the law does not compel him to disclose his assets and liabilities to the public, and most people will be reluctant to do this for fear of opening floodgates to relatives and sundry persons; kidnappers, armed robbers, and enemies who may reveal the lies in the declaration, he asks that his own declaration should be made public. Many people will say it is fine to do this, if you do not own much. But judge for yourself whether Chidi’s assets and liabilities are the type you declare quietly. A Non-Governmental Organization, R2K (Right to Know) said details of Professor Odinkalu’s assets and liabilities were: i.Personal Earnings from two standard Bank Accounts with balances of N94,000 and $11,700; ii.Two Barclays Bank accounts in the U.K containing £7,752 and £4,542; iii.A mortgaged 3-bedroom house in Edmonton, London; iv.A 4-bedroom house in Lekki, Lagos; v.A Toyota RAV4 bought in 2004; vi.A Kia Rio car bought in 2005; vii.Shares and stocks worth about N3m; viii.A personal pension plan managed by Friends Provident ix.A 27 KVA Nioda generator; x.7.5 KVA Inverter; xi.10,000 Books which the Professor described as “invaluable.” Now, if you are among the 80 percent of Nigerians who earn less than N300 a day, Professor Chidi will be an incredibly wealthy man. But if you were a ex-governor now under going trial in London, or many of his former colleagues whose cases before the EFCC and the Courts appear unlikely to ever be concluded, what the Professor has may be the value of what you could dash a girl friend. Even if you are a serving Governor, Minister or some powerful person in the corridors or bedrooms of power, the total value of Chidi’s assets are what your wife could spend on a two-day trip to Dubai or London. Bar in accountability and openness The voluntary publication of Chidi’s assets and liabilities has raised the bar in accountability and openness. I was close to the take-off of the late Umaru Musa ‘Yar Adua’s administration, and I remember the panic he caused when he decided, against the most vociferous advise, not to publish his declared assets and liabilities. His decision was ground-breaking in terms of its impact, and it really set the cat among the pidgeons. Panic run right through all the political office holders and the hundreds angling to be appointed Special Advisers, Ministers, Chairmen of Boards etc. Will he demand that they did same, even against existing law? Will he change the law to compel the publication of declared assets and liabilities? Will he hold it against them if they did not? Would it be worth holding a public office under Yar’Adua if one had to declare his entire assets (or some of it, and then risk exposure from those who know better)? In the end the late President said it was a personal decision of his publish, and he was not going to compel anyone to do so. His number two, now President Jonathan, also published his own declaration. I do not recall anyone else doing same. And the nation lost the opportunity to raise the moral standards of leadership. The loudest message sent by Chidi is that those in position of responsibility should be responsible. There should be no reasons why people who sit in judgment over how billions of public funds are spent should not tell the public what they are worth. If you have a reason for hiding your real personal worth, you have no business approaching an elective office. The Dundaye failed bridge The failure to appreciate the burden of responsibility is the reason this nation is crumbling before our very eyes. It is the reason why the Dundaye Bridge which links Usumanu Danfodio University, Sokoto (U.D.U.S) where I am a Visiting Lecturer and Sokoto City could collapse again with the coming rains. The absence of the required levels of responsibility by the Federal Government is the reason why the patch-patch work done on the bridge when it first collapsed two years ago will give way. This bridge which links Sokoto with one of the biggest universities in the North, which links Sokoto with six L.G.As and even with Niger Republic; and which is a vital economic asset may collapse again because neither the Federal Government nor the State Governments will bother to mobilise the funds to reconstruct it. When it does collapse again, we will close the University again. Children of the rich and powerful will continue their studies in the U.K, Malaysia, Ghana and Ukrain, while those of the poor who go to U.D.U.S will sit at home. They will curse and hate the leaders whose personal wealth will build ten Dundaye Bridges. They will resent authority, resent their circumstances, and resent children of the rich and powerful who do not go to U.D.U.S. Professor Chidi Odinkalu has challenged Nigerians who hold positions of trust and responsibility to take steps towards submitting themselves beyond ritual legal requirements, and to actually commit to one of the most important steps to fight corruption and official impunity. How I wish a wealthy northerner will shame the Federal Government and catchment States whose young people attend U.D.U.S, by reconstructing the vitally-strategic Dundaye Bridge. AND NOW THIS When Professor Chidi Odinkalu’s declared assets and liabilities was published, my younger brother, Mouftah, posted this prayer: “Maulana Chidi, May your shadow never grow shorter. By di grace of God, school fees no go deplete those £12k and $11k. Mortgage interest and repayment sef, no go chop dem. Dat N94k no go go down…. Na so so e go increase, with legit earnings. Keke NAPEP no go scratch either dat RAV4 or di Kia Rio. From dat Kia na to Range Rover….. and from dat RAV4 na straight to aeroplane… Dat Lekki house go born for Banana Island. E go born country house…. Your two generators no go knock. Mechanic and rewire no go come near dem.. Dat pension plan and those stock shares no go experience 2008 meltdown… and may you never use BUPA insurance.” Could there be a better prayer? http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/03/chidis-assets-a-bridge-and-a-prayer/ |
ndu_chucks: Why do you have such a devious mind and why didn’t you simply correct me long before now, that the Bight of Biafra has already been renamed? I am humble enough to accept correction. But Noooo Sireee, you waited until the thread was derailed and people started fighting each other before you came an accused me of starting the fight.I will hold you to the bolded words. The truth is that there are MANY ways of dividing Nigeria without a single death. Your stock in trade in your desperation to keep Nigeria one, even if the country kills thousands every year, is to scare gullible folks that there would be more deaths in the event of a split. NAY SIR, that is a BOLD FACE LIE. ![]() If you add up the deaths in Nigeria since after the war in 1970, it would be more than all the deaths in many civil wars somewhere in the world. You, my friend, are at home with such deaths, while pretending to care about some "likely" deaths conjured from your devious mind. |
PhysicsQED: "by introducing a new idea of regionalization"It is only a bait for people with that level of thinking. Go back to the first page and see that I addressed the core idea behind this thread. Do you say that regional POLICE and state police are not new ideas? Did we ever have regional police forces? Do you even believe that ndu-chucks did not know that the Bight is now called Bight of Bonny? lol If you say that he expected certain folks to be fighting over the name while he cruises home with his core idea undetected, I would agree. Else, I'm surprised at your simplicity of thought. lol |
PhysicsQED: Ndu_chucks created another trolling thread and people actually responded seriously.ndu-chucks created this thread for a different reason: he is trying to save Nigeria (BY ALL MEANS) by introducing a new idea of regionalization, complete with regional constitution and state police etc. Though he is flying the kite of changing the name of the bight, THAT IS NOT HIS ULTIMATE MOTIVE. ndu-chucks is a highly intelligent guy, but some of us can read him very easily. Renaming the bight is what I call a classical ndu-chucks dummy to distract simple minded folks not given to his level of hanky panky. BTW I welcome his idea; the map is almost mute because it has almost nothing to do with the core idea. It can be implemented even with current geopolitical zones. ![]() |
dayokanu: Yet the smart Igbos cant develop their homeland but have to run to other regions before they can make itIt is because we are carrying too many dead weights on our shoulders; dead weights like you. That is why we leave our lands. Since Nigeria started playing club football, only ONE Nigerian team has ever lifted the African Champions League Cup. That club is Enyimba of Aba; and they did it in style: TWICE. They did it inspite of the dead weight hanging on their neck. Since then, NOBODY has neared it again. ![]() There has been MANY "Only's" or "Firsts" from Igboland and if you insist, wait until someone interested will come and list them. Whatever achievement we make in Nigeria, we do so against constant pull down and sabotage. So, in essence, one achievement from us is done by investing TEN or MORE measure of effort by us inside that Nigerian cesspit. Only a fool would keep trying to climb mount Everest with a TONNE of useless junk tied to his back. You've gat to lose the junk first. That is what we are doing, and that is why we will NEVER accept junk into our new supercharged nation, raring to conquer the world. ![]() |
wirinet: I am itsekiri from warri. I repeat the Itsekiris have no cultural, historical or linguistic connections with the igbos, it is an insult to include us in your igbo nation. It even smacks of arrogance to put itsekiri land in your map. You want to colonize itsekiri land? Well we will await you on the battle field. But do not scream betrayal when we solicit for help from other regions to repel Igbo aggression.Some of you just make me laugh with your outbursts, frankly. Such outburst only tells me how old, or how driven-by-hubris some of you are. I say that because I know that most of you have not really sat down to think about what it would take to either build a new nation, or move an old nation forward. You think it is always OIL that determines how far a nation can go, and that is the problem. Do you think I don't know that itsekiri is COMPLETELY different from Igbo? Put in a different way, do you think that Igbo would simply accept Itsekiri into a new nation,just for the asking? I can tell you for sure that some of my Igbo brothers are VERY FURIOUS at my suggestion that Itsekiri join Biafra. I am not driven by crowd or pedestrain mentality though. I think like a leader. ![]() As Nigeria stands now, I can confidently say, that A WHOLE LOT of what makes Nigeria tick today are driven by Igbo: Sports (particularly Football), Movies, Music, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Sciences, Education, Innovation, Christianity, Peaceful people, Modernity and of course OIL AND GAS (huge portions are in Igboland). Remove Igbo from Nigeria today and Nigeria will STRUGGLE to make any impact internationally in all these fields. We can start by forgetting about Olympic medals and football laurels. So, in essence, I predict that there will be a rush to join Igbo in forming a new nation, should Nigeria collapse! Quote me on this! ![]() So, you may not qualify to be included in the same nation as Igbo. For starters, only smart groups would be accepted because we won't want a repeat of Nigeria -a nation where unqualified people control things, for any reason whatsoever. ![]() I believe there are smart Itsekiri's though. ![]() |
noiseless: @EZE ONLYTRUTH, please Eze, I really need your help, would it be possible to reach your office? I do need to contact your office but i do not have the email addres and will apreciate if you could make it available to me if you don't mind please. Thanks, yours. Noiseless.My brother you can reach the office of Eze Ndigbo Nairaland at ezendigbo_nl@hushmail.com |
Nigerians no go kill me wallahi.So did Atiku pay? lol |
^^ To be honest with you, Biafra is still a question of IF, not When, yet. One look at Igbo will tell you that. After 2015, start taking a closer look because things would likely pick up pace in the direction of Biafra. I won't elaborate more on that. |
ndu_chucks That map represents the true political reality in Nigeria. Whoever prepared that map is a political soothsayer. ![]() The producer of that map must have CLOSELY followed political developments, body languages and nuances from both SE, SS and middle belt in the past few years. The map is spot on. BTW I will NEVER shave this my Ojukwu type beard. It has a life of its own. ![]() |
jason123 I have studied kpogede77 and I can tell you that he is not an avowed anti-igbo (die hard Oduduwa) like you. He actually admires Biafra a lot and has severally advocated for Biafra to be supported. In that post you referenced, this is what he said about Biafra's status in Oduduwa: Biafra Rep will have no need for a visa to enter Oduduwa Rep. Biafra citizen will have all the right that Oduduwa citizen has except voting right.I can assure you that when the time comes, we will make [b]kpogede77 [/b]and his like an offer they cannot refuse. ![]() |
@Topic ndu_chucks Why are you traumatized by the name "Biafra"? Is it because you owe that country millions of lives that you desperately want to change the name hurriedly to something else ko? olodo. There are more viable ways of paying for the blood of innocent Biafrans you and yours shed unnecessarily in your futile attempt to save a bad idea. All you need to do is expiate (as you are partly currently doing with your boko haram wahala), and God will move on. Changing names don't change hard facts on the ground. BTW I don't mind beginning the process by first experimenting with the regions and their constitutions, state police and the rest under one Nigeria for sometime. That is what we should have done for the past 44 years, instead of Gowon and the rest of your die hard One Nigerianists trying desperately keep Nigeria one by introducing the evil seeds of state creation. All that is too late now. The states would likely stay as they are, as some form of administrative units (or even states). I welcome the regions as new federating units. ![]() |
@jason123 When it comes to Delta state, apart from my Igbo brothers from Anioma, I only consider the opinions of the Beaf's from there. I even think that kpogede will not mind his people joining the rest of us in SE/SS/Benue axis to form Biafra or any other nation. You Mr jason123, are not what you say you are. Ever wonder why there are no other "itsekiri" here with your die hard pro Yoruba opinions. Methinks you are a ![]() |
by Ndu_chucks Continue to wallow in your delusional dreams of biafra. Take your case to your oyibo lords at the UN and you'll find out that we have enough clout to make sure that your petition will remain on the shleves for 50 more years. You've already fought for secession and lost, deal with it. Here's my suggestion for how you may get your biafra: Learn to participate in the democratic process and push your interests through proper and legal channels - anything less will get you nowhere.^^ Only a deaf, dumb and blind man would ever compare the great USA to a devil's cesspit like Nigeria. Please, stop trying to compare an angel with a demon. Nigeria kills THOUSANDS of her own citizens every year. The US goes to war to PROTECT her own citizens. Sharp opposites. Just like there are boko harams in Nigeria who believe in turning Nigeria into an ismlamic caliphate, there are of course the type of people you referenced in your idiotic post in Vermont. Theirs have NOTHING in common with the Biafran cause. Biafra is an embodiment of universal justice. If you don't know, no nation (no matter how powerful) can withstand the unstoppable train of universal justice. The greatest nations in human history (please research this spiritual truth) always align their national policies to match the rails of the universal train of justice. To do otherwise, will derail any nation. That is why Nigeria is irreversibly headed for derailment. ![]() |
All in good time folks. All in good time. When we swing that magic wand in international diplomacy, then, Biafra will only be a question of WHEN, not IF. Everybody will answer his father's name. ![]() |
^^ Again, no my friend. If we get the support of the most strategic country in the world, the UN will simply rubber stamp us. Then we will use our own money to buy modern arms and wait for you and your aboki husbands. You try to repeat the past, and we will send you back (husband and wife) to the 18th century. That, my friend, is what will happen. ![]() |
