Meanwhile, Goodluck, Jonathan did not complete a single project despite enjoying oil prices of over $100 a barrel. Buhari may be a monkey. But he is the best president Nigeria has ever had.

Where are the standard gauge rail lines designed to run along this bridge?

Will it not be most economical to build the rail lines at the same time the bridge is built?


That route for rail lines is the most traveled and economically most viable for rail lines in Nigeria.


Reminds one of when NITEL Digital telephone exchanges were first built in less business northern towns while the most busy towns in the south struggled with moribund Analog telephone exchanges.


NITEL DIED.

Aconomist:
Buhari has done more for the South East than all the Igbo governors combined.

Is the bridge an Igbo or SE bridge? Nigerians of all tribes must be using the bridge.

Ethnoreligious bigotry.

Build the standard gauge rail lines in the SE as he builds on the SW and North.

Lagos!

Lagos is bae. Who disagrees?

After all, there are asphalt roads with horizontal lines, and high rise houses in Lagos; the only city of its type with no pipe borne water.
Who has heard APC PMB and governors talk about providing pipe borne water?
No Oyibo person say that a city without public water supply system is bae.

Xscape1993:
Majority of blacks are not just wicked, but devil themselves.

This is why one Nigeria remains. A few black men and women profiting from the inadequacies of one Nigeria will want the dysfunctional country to go on, even at the cost of all the poor in Nigeria.

Rivers state is a useless village. All they do is fighting each other like villagers

If they don’t settle the Amaechi Vs Wike war in Rivers state, hmmmm. It’s becoming bleak for all.

Allen102:
And yet 90% of prostitutes in Rivers state are from Imo, Enugu, and Akwa ibom state.
70% of crimes in Rivers state are not done by Rivers indigenes.

Ha ha ha.

Aboki as usual on divide and conquer and exploit set you up against neighbors of your Rivers state. When will you develop more sense?

They have turned the thread into war between Rivers state and Igbos.

They earlier used Wike for the purpose.

About two years ago, BBC carried the documentary on high infant mortality rate in the oil producing areas of the south of Nigeria.

As if he the type of governor Wike in Rivers state is bordered. Wike would rather fight war against Amaechi, fight against the Igbos, fight war against restoration of Biafra, invite army to decimate population in his state.

Does RVSG even keep track of the number of deaths from the sooth?

SmartPolician:
Most Nigerians don't want a divided country

Instead, they want a working country

The working country in Nigeria will NEVER come. Nigeria gets worse every new day, since 1914.

Black man deceiving himself with expectation of “working country,” perhaps because of his landed property in parts of Nigeria outside his native district; or because of dependence on cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta.

Maxymilliano:
Which Kain eye service be this ?

Most of those governors following Buhari about are hardly popular in their own state or have a strong political opponent in their state also tied to Buhari.

When Buba Marwa was appointed head of the anti drug organisation recently the loudest opposing voice came from the region of these people who are renowned in drug trafficking. The world know them. Even Satan do wonder at their prowess in this field.

Yes. Yoruba has been the largest drug dealers in Nigeria, unless the statistics of NDLEA has changed recently.

By the way, this story found road into the media because an Igbo name was there.

OPERATION UNICORD
Part of nigeria civil war
Date july 2-12,1967
Location: northern biafra border
Result; nigeria victory
Belligerents; Nigeria and Biafra
Commanders; Nigeria( sule apollo and martin adamu). Biafra(H.M njoku).
Casualties: unknown on both sides .

The Operation UNICORD (July 2 – July 12, 1967) was an
offensive launched by the Nigerian Army at the beginning of
the Nigerian Civil War. It involved the capture of 6 major
Biafran towns near their northern border.
Background
When Nigeria became an independent state in October 1960
the newly formed government consisted mainly of northern
politician from the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group. Early on the
Nigerian government became corrupt with various
politicians swindling public funds and rigging votes. By 1965
the Nigerian government became so corrupt that uprisings
against the government sprang up all across Nigeria with
various politicians attempting to gain more power. This
resulted in rioting and mass arrests in the cities of Lagos and
Ibadan. The politician Obafemi Awolowo was falsely blamed
for causing the riots and was sentenced to 10 years in a
Nigerian prison. All of the chaos that occurred in the political
ralm gave was to the 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat in which 11
senior politicians were killed by mainly Igbo soldiers led by
the Army Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu. The Nigerian Prime
Minister Abubakar Balewa was one of the 11 politicians
assassinated during the coup of January 15. Nzeogwu's
soldiers were forced to retreat to Kaduna after General
Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was able to assemble a force of
soldiers in Lagos to combat the rebellious soldiers. Ironsi
was made President of Nigeria on January 16, 1966 and
became the first Igbo president in Nigerian history. many
northern generals and politicians were angry at Ironsi for
two reasons, because he did not execute Major Nzeogwu
and because he was giving more and more political power
to southern politicians. On July 29, 1966 Ironsi was
assassinated by a mutinous soldiers under the command of
Lt Col Murtala Mohammed and installed Colonel Yakubu
Gowon as Head of State. The counter-coup resulted in the
1966 anti-Igbo pogrom and caused the brutal massacre of
50,000 Igbo civilians living in various northern cities such as
Kano and Kaduna. These massacres angered many Igbo
civilians and a call for secession was given by Colonel
Odumegwu Ojukwu. Ojukwu met with President Gowon in
Aburi, Ghana in December 1966 to discuss the situation that
was occurring in Nigeria. A vote was held in May 1967 in the
Eastern Region of Nigeria that was to see how many
easterners supported a secession. The vote resulted in 68%
of easterners approving of a secession of a secular Igbo
state. On May 30, 1967 Ojukwu officially seceded the Eastern
Region and proclaimed the new Republic of Biafra. Ojukwu
managed to assemble a 3,000 man guerrilla force to defend
Biafra's front lines. In early July 1967 Nigerian President
Gowon ordered General Olusegun Obasanjo to regain
control of the Eastern Region.
Battle
On July 2, 1967 the Nigerian Army opened its offensive
operations from the Northern sector. The First Area
Command NA, supported by an artillery brigade consisting
of scorpion tanks, saladin armored cars, and ferrets was
divided into two brigades. The 1st brigade under Maj. Sule
Apollo advanced down the Ogugu-Ogunga-Nsukka road
while the 2nd brigade under Maj. Martin Adamu advanced
down the Gakem-Obudu-Ogoja road. Defending Biafran
soldiers under Brig. H.M. Njoku managed to repel the attack,
however, the Nigerian Army began recruiting guides and
informants to report on the disposition of Biafran troops,
their strength, and other crucial information. For 10 days the
Nigerian Army fought its way southward and managed to
capture the towns of Nsukka, Ogugu, Ogunga, Ogoja, Gakem,
and Obudu while also forcing defending Biafran troops to
retreat in disarray. Many Biafran soldiers complained of
malaria, headache, and other ailments. Thousands of
Biafran civilians fled their homes, in fear of being massacred
by Nigerian soldiers, and headed for the Biafran capital,
Enugu.
Aftermath
16 days after the Biafrans retreated Nzeogwu attempted to
regain control of Nsukka on July 30 but was killed by
Nigerian soldiers while driving down a road. Obasanjo was
successful in his conquest of Nsukka but did not enter any
further into Biafran territory but instead was put aside after
the Biafran Generals Albert Okonkwo and Victor Banjo
invaded Nigeria's Mid-Western Region. Murtala Mohammed
was put in charge of fending off all Biafran soldiers within
Nigeria's boundaries. Victor Banjo got within 135 miles of
the Nigerian Capital Lagos before he was intercepted by
Mohammed's men. After over a month of bloody fighting the
Biafrans retreated to Onitsha and released their hold over
the Mid-Western Region. With the Midwest Invasion over the
Nigerians returned to Nsukka and began planning an
invasion of the Biafran Capital Enugu. Due to Nsukka's
proximity to Enugu it was a strategic stronghold. Olusegun
Obasanjo invaded the area around Enugu in mid September
1967. Obasanjo knew that Enugu would not fall easily if he
attacked it head on so he decided to surround the city and
begin a siege. On September 30 Obasanjo was able to break
through the Biafran defensive lines around Enugu and
entered the city. After 6 days of bloody fighting the Biafrans
fled south to Umuahia.

Your story is meant for kids in the kindergarten to believe - story laced with too many lies against one section - east of Nigeria.

Nigeria civil war was fought like a Jihad. That’s why the huge number of casualties.

It was the greatest genocide in modern history after the Holocaust.

QuietMynd:
]But finally, normalcy have returned in Orlu because the ESN threatened to attack their barracks if they continue to kill Orlu youths!..

This part crack me up.
This will make some ignorant think they can stand head to head with the military.

Why have Nigeria military not wiped out rag tag Boko Haram from northern Nigeria? Or have you people taken Nigeria military to be same as Boko Haram fighters?

Never4getU:
Nope! Fulanis have an agenda to take control of every part of the country whereby it will be impossible for disintegration. They are mercenary of neighbouring Chadian/Nigerien extraction.

My fear for the south is our in ability to unite and fight this scourge headlong.

We need to rise above pettiness and speak in one voice. We're first a Southerners before a Nigerian, Nigeria is secondary for us and when our interest no longer worth the efforts we can call it a day.

Yoruba Moslems of MURIC have bond with mainly Moslem Arewa; thus, Yoruba Moslems tie rest of Yoruba to Arewa.

So the entire south of Nigeria also gets tied to Arewa in a dysfunctional one Nigeria.

Religion is opium to those who took religion before kinship.

When they talk of black man with little sense, they are talking about black man in southern Nigeria who a tiny Fulani group hold in ransom in one Nigeria created by a foreigner. The bland and blind southern Nigerian can’t see the association of his region with Arewa is like a stumbling block to human and economic development in his southern region.

Tiny Fulani tells an average southern Nigerian that Nigeria is indivisible, he agrees.

How else do they measure a failed country?

Politicians in Nigeria’s south are lousy.

They should tell the northern politicians that it’s time to act like the politicians of dissolved Czechoslovakia.

RIP to the dead.

No traffic on this thread about ruling party and its
President of Nigeria. Something is amiss with APC and PMB.

This photo is like in a forgotten part of the world - very backward.

Go and fight like the millions of youths in Europe & The America’s, the labors of our heroes shall not be in vain, we will throw a one week party for your remembrance, & sing reggae songs of freedom @ your eulogy.

The labor of your heroes past you have been singing for 51 years to eulogize murderers and genocidists, what have you profited from their labor? Your tribe presidency in Nigeria? That’s all. But it’s like pestilence in your region.

chinjo:
This has always been my position. Why cant an igbo person be president of Nigeria. If we cant allow them to be president, thwn we should allow them to go.

Lol. They would have allowed Igbo to go with Biafra, but their fear is the rest of South south with crude oil and gas deposits will also leave Nigeria, once the Igbos leave.

Profits from last Christmas and New year celebrations when air fares were hiked beyond reasonable factors.

Hospitals in Orlu, Imo state, are overwhelmed by casualties from this military incursion in the place.

Who can tell armed forces to stop shooting at unarmed civilians in Nigeria?

is it?

Just imagine, people not wishing well for their dear country though I will not blame you guys coz must of those making noise are not Niger republic,camaroun and cotonou is where they came from while the rest are those flat headed baby factory product.... continue...

Boko Haram for example, emerged shortly after Arewa 12 states adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws. Boko Haram says it’s fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

Boko Haram are Nigerians.

Instead of restructuring Nigeria politically so that Arewa 12 states shall have ample opportunities for Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, Arewa says no to restructuring Nigeria because of cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in the south.

President of Nigeria from Arewa would rather want American guns to kill off Nigerians that are in Boko Haram and other restive groups.

Can some body tell donor Americans that Instead of restructuring Nigeria politically to governable political structure, cheap cash from crude oil makes politicians fix on one unitary government system with a president and legislative house looming like gods over Nigerians. That gave rise to insurgents Boko Haram, secessionists IPOB and Oduduwa; Fulani herdsmen aided by govt and are gunning to occupy all of Nigeria.

Any military aid to Nigerian government is like aid to kill these restive civilian groups in Nigeria, instead of restructuring Nigeria politically to a more manageable country.

Why did Trump not complete the deal before he left office?

Biden government should have stopped the deal knowing the potential dangers in it: armed forces of Nigeria are instruments to kill civilians in Nigeria.

The Americans know this, but economic interests come first.

Two Moslems as president and Vice President of Nigeria?

This tells much about the fact that the Moslems in Nigeria have no regards on non Moslems.

AlhajiImam:
Southerners are hell bent on spoiling the image of this nation through financial crimes and money laundry. Like Invictus, like Tinubu, like Okorocha, like Ibori and Hishpuppy.

But in the midst of all these evil, Buhari have never been involved. He's a man of integrity

Oh yes; blame those southern politicians. They are not brilliant enough to see that they are supposed to separate south from the north of Nigeria, the only way to make the south develop.
They don’t reckon with Arewa forming a quasi Islamic republic through adoption of unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
Southern politicians don’t reckon with the fact that Arewa would have separated from the south of Nigeria if crude oil and gas deposits, as well as the sea, were in Arewa.

The elites in Nigeria practically reduced the country’s schools and universities to shiitholes, because their wards go abroad to study.


But nothing can stop the corruption in Nigeria except splitting the country to more manageable countries.
The corruption is because nobody TRULY takes Nigeria as his or her country.
