It's really dehumanizing what Ndiigbo pass through in this country.
We all know what they want to achieve with this closure. It's demonic and totally unfair. Yet we are supposed to have Igbo political office holders, who were supposedly elected to fight for us and bring issues like this to the fore of public debate and awareness of the undercurrent sinister motives. But that's not happening. Yet these shameless political office holders in Igboland parade themselves around shamelessly while their people suffer in humiliation.
Igbo history will not be fair to the current brand of Political office holders in Igboland and all those amongst us who support them. Water would eventually find its level, this too will pass. There is a limit to the amount of suppression you can subject a people under until they rather chose death than take it anymore.

In response....

Nigeria needs oil to be at $140 per barrel for us not to borrow.

The $45 you mention does not make sense...and even IF there was no corruption....we would still be borrowing.

Here is a list of countries's breakeven oil prices, according to global ratings company Fitch (as at 2017)

Nigeria at $139
Bahrain at $84
Angola at $82
Oman at $75
Saudi Arabia at $74
Russia at $72
Kazakhstan at $71
Gabon at $66
Azerbaijan at $66
Iraq at $61
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, at $60
Republic of Congo at $52
Qatar at $51
Kuwait at $45

Please don't tell me all those nice pics of well laid out high-end high-rise apartments are all in Ethiopia....the same Ethiopia that hunger wanted to finish barely three decades ago!

It's suddenly dawned on me just how far we have to go to make our cities truly world-class!

Am in Ghana now just entered fuel station abd saw Seahorse products displayed at their shelve. For the records this product is produced in Anambra State by Seahorse. We must keep pushing until we saturate West African market with our products.

The enemy dont want anything in the East.

They wanted to use Nnamdi Kanu as excuse to level the place.

The few, flyover, houses, business and bridges is annoying dem.

An instagram user took to the comment section of this family photo shared by the wife of the senate president Bukola Saraki, Toyin Saraki, on Instagram some weeks ago and left an uncomplimentary comment there. Mrs Saraki took out time to address his allegations and also schooled the user on what her husband has been able to achieve since he joined politics.

I love those pics. Wish we can have those buildings in the east.

Have you ever taught of forming a group of 3 or 4 with the sole aim of assisting the government in planting trees on road medians? If you can just decide to contribute a small amount of money together with other Eco lovers to buy tree seeds or young tree plants to be planted, on at least, 10 long road medians in Enugu city, it will go a long way in increasing the greenery of the city. Some youths did it here in Lagos state and I also wanted to join the group at that time but, I later got less concerned. It usually involves getting permission from the LGA office.

@OreMI22, We all knew what this Zik's junction used to be like 10yrs ago but look at it today and you are writing this great city with one stagnant town somewhere in the same "paragraph". What about Upper Iweka, Headbridge etc, and what those places used to look like 10yrs ago and what it looks like today, that is the sign of a progressive city that receives attention from the government.

This has nothing to do with Jonathan.

Jonathan did more for Kano intl and Kaduna airports than Enugu intl airport. He ONLY authorized international flight in Enugu, while he built the Kaduna new terminal, Kano new terminal buildings and indeed new brand new terminal buildings in all northern airports! He facilitated more airlines coming into Kano intl, yet you guys are so hateful.

Jonathan was from Bayelsa, yet invested in northern airports!

What can any airport in southern Nigeria say they have benefited from this northern President? He is keen on reversing the achievements of other Presidents on southern airports.

Well noted sir but the aspersions being casted on Dangote have absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity but everything to do with the suspect quality of his products. This is also coupled with his aversion to invest in Igboland. That he has one of his largest warehouses and distribution chain in Igboland but never deemed it fit to open even a laboratory there gave him away for whom he is inspite of the long years of undue but sectional executive fiat he got almost to the point of insanity. There is more limestone deposits in Ebonyi state than Obajana but he chosed the latter and has never even taken a casual investment look at the former.
And what was that your "BUA has come to take over" jab of yours? Ibeto is a bigger player than BUA and has already taken over the chunk of the existing productive plant (NIGERCEM Nkalagu) so no biggie. Above all,to correct a subtle impression of yours,Igboland has never either through government policies or cultural inclination being resistant to foreign or "foreign local" investment . The competition is stiff and chocking coupled with long years of demonic narratives meant to demarket her investment potentialities. Recently,the world has come to know where true industrialization and manufacturing happen. Welcome to Alaigbo Alhaji Kabiru Rabiu!

BUA Group To Establish Cement Factory In Ebonyi

BUA Group on Wednesday said it was commencing core drilling in Ebonyi preparatory to establishing a cement plant in the state.
The Group Managing Director of the company, Kabiru Rabiu, announced this in Abakaliki, the state capital, when he led the management team of the firm on a visit to Governor Dave Umahi.
Mr. Rabiu expressed surprised that the state has no functional cement factory despite having enormous limestone deposit.
Limestone is the major raw material used in the production of cement.
Mr Rabiu further noted that coal, a necessary energy needed for cement production is also in abundance in the state.
He noted that the state was also strategically located for cement production.
“We are planning to set up a cement plant here in Ebonyi state,” the nusinessman said. “The state is actually the host of the first cement plant in Nigeria, the NIGERCEM but it is quite surprising that today there is no single operational cement plant not only in Ebonyi state but in the entire eastern part of Nigeria.
“We are here because the state is blessed. It has a huge deposit of limestone which is very high in quality. The state also has coal which is a necessary energy needed for cement production.
“The state is strategically located; it is close to Enugu, close to Cross River State, close to the Middle Belt. I mean the local government where these deposits are located is very close to Benue, which is in the Middle Belt.
“Your Excellency, when we were coming into the state, we saw a road being built with concrete (concrete road) by your administration which goes along way to show your commitment to infrastructure and we also found out about the development of the ring road which is also about 150kms and we learnt that it is going to be built by concrete.
“So, naturally, the state is a market itself not only being positioned in a strategic location but also a large consumption of cement is going to be undertaken by the zone.
“We are really excited about the state, about the location, about the quality and the volume of the limestone you have for cement production here in Ebonyi State.”
Responding, Governor Umahi assured the group of total support by providing enabling environment for the company to operate.
He said the state was proposing a law to protect investors in the state.

I hate Buhari with passion... But if APC government starts work on that road before the election, am voting for them

AmazingELixir:

What could possibly have lead the Nigerian airforce to cite a structure like that in an airport that close to the runway, was somebody thinking through his/her anus?

anibi9674:
our constitution needs to be amended urgently. Apart from bad leaders our constituion is one thing drawing us back word. Too old for use.

behosgroups2019:
This has shown that some people are real workshop of satan. How can someone come online and say that work is not going on along Enugu-Onitsha expressway. This is the handwork of evil people. Just to discredit PMB's government, someone will just tell lies and commit sin. Hmmm! i fear my people.

OK. LETS TAKE IT LIKE THIS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL KNOW THE TRUTH....

IF CONSTRUCTION IS NOT GOING ON ALONG ENUGU-ONITSHA EXPRESSWAY, LET GOD BLESS THE POSTER AND LET ME, MY FAMILY AND MY SUPPORTERS PERISH

BUT IF CONSTRUCTION IS GOING ON ALONG ENUGU-ONITSHA EXPRESSWAY, LET GOD BLESS ME AND LET YOU (THIS POSTER), YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR SUPPORTERS PERISH

You took the words out of my mouth sir. Absolute madness and foolishnes on rampage! What da Bleep was the whole disclosure,infantile threats and all whatnots all about?

What with the flash of pictures,numbers and all trashy jokes of SARS and misguided DSS? Na so dem jobless reach? Wrong thread and wrong timing all ya intruders,madmen, nay sayers and Igbophobes! Our ship have since sailed and unstoppable! Ahoy!
