Find Secred Heart Aba(SAHACO) where rugged men are bred. We never die.

Chineke God
You went to that school of terror
I hear all the boys there smoked Igbo and would beat up the principal

I couldn't find much about CKC Onitsha, DMGS and the other then top schools.

The Church Missionary Society (CMS) of Great Britain founded Uzuakoli Institute (UI) in 1923, which later in 1931 was renamed Methodist College. Available information indicates that a group of missionaries led by Rev. Herbert Lewis Octavia Williams was the first principal of the institute.

   

At various times from inception in to 1959, British missionaries administered the college. These included God-fearing men (Principals) such as, Rev. Hardy, Rev. Carver, Rev. Aggrey, Rev. Woods, Rev. Mcgarr, Mr. William H. Spray, and Mr. B. Hall, who were the last missionary to serve as principal. The first Nigerian born principal of the college was Mr. Kanu Achinivu. In recent history, the following men have served: Mr. Onokala, Mr. Anyaoha, Mr. Chukwu Ogbonnaya, Mr. Nwauche, and Dr. Chukwumereije.

   

Location:

Methodist College is located on approximately 93 acres of land in Uzuakoli Abia State, formerly Bende Division of Eastern Nigeria. The name of the village in which the school is located is called Amamba. Niger, Ibiam and Spray houses, which are three out of the twelve boarding dormitories that existed during its peak student population in late 1970’s, are located in Obiohia village. The rest of the college is located in Umuachama village. Umuachama, Obiohia and three other villages (Umueze, Akelu and Akekwo) make up Amamba.

   

Founded fundamentally on strong Christian principles, the schools motto is “You First, I Second”. The college anthem was selected from the Methodist Hymn Book #64 “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the King of Creations”. By 1953, Methodist College had expanded into three academic centers comprising the Secondary, High School and Teacher Training Centers. The Teacher Training arm of the school was later relocated outside the main college campus, while the high school program was terminated in 1973. The “Castle” a square shaped block of living quarters was constructed in 1930 to board 150 students at a time. Today, this building on one hand stands majestically as a landmark of honor and prestige, and on the other as a painful reminder of how the current educational system has failed our children.

   

It is unclear how many students have graduated from our esteemed college. However, there is no doubt that the college has produced a considerable number of esteemed past and present leaders in Nigeria. Noteable among our old boys include:

Dr. Michael Okpara (Former Premier of Eastern Region, Nigeria)
Dr. Anezi Okoro ( Author and Professor of Medicine, University of Nigeria Nsukka)
Dr. Edwin Ogbu (Former Nigerian Ambassador to the United Nations)
Dr. Ukpaby (Dean of Students Affairs University of Nigeria Nsukka)
Rev. Rogers Uwadi (Arch Bishop of Umuahia Arch Diocese Methodist Church Nigeria)
Justice Udo Udoma (Supreme Court of Nigeria and Chairman of the Nigerian Constitution Assembly)
Dr. Clement Isong (Governor of Cross River State (1979-1983))
Chief Onyema Ugochukwu (Former Director of Daily Times News Paper and chairman of NDDC)

Government College Umuahia (One of the most prominent old high school in Igboland)


Twenty years after the establishment of Kings College, the first government-owned high school, by the British colonial government, three similar public schools were founded in 1929. These three institutions, Government College Umuahia (GCU), Government College Ibadan and Government College Zaria (Berewa College), were designed to follow the traditions of British Public Schools at Eton, Harrow and Winchester. The GCU was known as the 'Eton of the East,' those days because it was located in Nigeria’s orient.

Mr. Robert Fisher (deceased) was the founding principal of GCU, which in one generation, produced the largest number of celebrated writers. Roll call: Chinua Achebe, Chukwuemeka Ike, Elechi Amadi, INC Aniebo, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Christopher Okigbo, and Gabriel Okara.

Apart from men of letters, famous GCU alumni include master artist Ben Enwonwu, and such outstanding personalities like Jaja Wachukwu, Okoi Arikpo, N.U. Akpan, Victor Mukete, Dr. Endley (former premier of Southern Cameroon), Dr. J.O.J Okezie (first republic Minister of Health), and academics like Prof. Bede Okigbo, Kelsey-Harison, Wilfred Chukudebelu, E.J. Allagoa, Donald Ekong, Laz Ekwueme, and Dagogo- Fubara.

Two of the five south east governors are alumni of GCU. They are Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State and Dr. Achike Udenwa of Imo. GCU also produced brave officers and gentlemen such as George Kurubo (first Southern Nigerian officer at Sandhurst), Alex Madiebo, Tony Eze, Anwuna, Tim Onwuatuegwu and Emelifionwu, among others.

City of Umuahia


Umuahia is a town which is the capital of Abia State in southeastern Nigeria. Umuahia is located along the railroad that lies between Port Harcourt to Umuahia's south and Enugu city to its north. Umuahia has a population of 147,167[2] as of 1991 and its main ethnic group are the Igbo. The town's slogan is "Spring of Synergy." Umuahia town is known has been known as an agricultural market centre since 1916. It is also a railway collecting point, which runs through the town, for the region s surrounding for crops such as: yams, cassava, corn (maize), taro, citrus fruits, and palm oil and kernels. There are several breweries in Umuahia, and there is also a palm-oil-processing plant and the National Root Crops Research Institute, at Umudike, is adjacent to the town. Umuahia also has several colleges, including Trinity College (theological), and several hospitals.

Umuahia comprises two local government areas: Umuahia North and Umuahia South. These local governments are also composed of many villages and autonomous communities such as the Ibeku and Ohuhu communities. Ibeku is made up of seven communities, which include Ndume, Azueke, Amaoforo, Afara, Osa, Isieke, etc.

Umuahia became the first industrial town in Igboland during the First Republic of Nigeria.



Umuahia was declared the second capital of the short-lived nation of the Republic of Biafra on 28 September 1967 after the first capital Enugu was captured by Nigerian troops; after it was captured in turn on 22 April 1969, the last Biafran capital became Owerri.



One of its prominent son's is Michael Iheonukara Okpara, the former premier of Eastern Region of Nigeria. Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, the first Nigerian GOC and military Head of state, is also from the town.

City of Owerri

Owerri is a city in southeastern Nigeria. It is the capital of Imo State and is set in the heart of the Igboland.[1] It currently has a population of about 231,789[2] and is approximately 40 square miles (100 km2) in area.

The Owerri Slogan is Heartland.It is currently referred to as the entertainment capital of Nigeria and is home to an annual world class beauty pageant called "Miss Heartland".


Owerri was the capital of the Republic of Biafra in 1969. The capital of the secessionist state was continuously being moved as Nigerian troops captured the older capitals. Enugu, Aba, and Umuahia were the other capitals before Owerri.



Owerri was founded by a man called Ekwema Arugo. He was the son of Uratta and was forced to leave because he committed an unpardonable sin. Uratta had eight sons namely Orji, Owaelu, Owalla, Umuori, Umunahu, Okwu, Umuoba and Owerri. Umundula is not named separately because it is related to Orji, just as Owerri was not named separately because he was related to Owalla. The proper name of this village is Owere. In Igboland, there are several places called Owere. However, this particular Owere village is the most popular. In Igbo language, Owere means an open place of habitation.

City of Onitsha

Onitsha is a city, commercial centre and river port on the eastern bank of the Niger river in Anambra State, southeast Nigeria. As of 2005 Onitsha had an estimated population of 561,106.[1] The indigenous people of Onitsha are primarily of Igbo ethnicity, although there are other ethnicities, such as the Hausa and Yoruba, who have migrated to Onitsha.


Immigrants from Anioma (Western Igboland) closest to the Kingdom of Benin are believed to have settled in Onitsha in the 16th century, which was originally called Ado N'Idu.[2] It soon became capital of an Igbo Kingdom. In 1857 British traders in palm oil established a permanent station in the city, and Christian missionaries soon followed headed by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a Yoruba) and Reverend John Taylor (an Igbo).[3] In 1884 Onitsha became part of a British protectorate.[4] The British colonial government and Christian missionaries penetrated most of Igboland to set up their administration, schools and churches through the river port at Onitsha.


Historically, the former Eastern Nigeria did not experience a prolonged period of indigenous urbanization like Ibadan in the southwest or Kano and Zaria in the north. Onitsha became an important trading port for the Royal Niger company in the mid 1850's. Following the abolition of slavery, trade in palm kernels and other cash crops boomed around this river port. Immigrants from the hinterland were drawn to the emerging boom town as did the British traders who settled there and coordinated the palm oil and cash crops trade. In 1965, a bridge was built across the Niger River to replace the ferry crossing,[5] and plans are in place to add a second bridge as well. [6]

Trade soared between the east and west of Nigeria. This made Onitsha the strategic gateway for trade between the former eastern and western regions. The Biafran war years brought widespread devastation to Onitsha. The subsequent oil boom years brought a huge influx of immigrants into the city. The war-damaged facilities, still under repair, could not cope with the pace of the rural-urban exodus into the city. Slums consequently began to emerge from the hasty haphazard building construction to accommodate the huge influx. It lies at a major east-west crossing point of the Niger River, and occupies the northernmost point of the river regularly navigable by large vessels. These factors have historically made Onitsha a major centre for trade between the coastal regions and the north, as well as between eastern and western Nigeria. Onitsha possesses one of the very few road bridge crossings of the mile-wide Niger river.

The history of Onitsha began with the migration of its people from the Benin Empire towards the end of early part of the Sixteenth Century AD. The migration was as a result of a wave of unrest, war and displacement unleashed by the Islamic movement from North Africa.

It was during their passage through the outskirts of Ile-Ife that they acquired the name Onitsha - a corruption of the Yoruba word Orisha and Udo, the famous shrine worshipped by the people. As time went on, the combination of the two words, Onitsha for Orisha and Ado for Udo culminated in the present name , Onitsha Ado.

The people of Onitsha left the out skirts of Ile-Ife and resettled in the Benin Kingdom and soon established themselves as one of the clans in the Benin Kingdom exercising all the rights and privileges attached thereon.
The most prominent son was Nnamdi Azikiwe

City of Enugu

Enugu (or Enugwu) is the capital city of Enugu State, Nigeria. It has a population of 688,862 (2007 estimate). The people of Enugu belong largely to the Igbo ethnic group, which is one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. The name Enugu comes from the two Igbo words enu Ugwu, or "top of the hill." The city's slogan is Perpetual Apex Pride.
Enugu was originally the capital of the Eastern Region from Nigeria's independence in 1960. On May 27, 1967, the Nigerian government divided the 3 regions into 12 states. The Eastern Region was broken up and Enugu was made the capital of East Central State. On May 30, 1967, it was declared the first capital of the short-lived nation of the Republic of Biafra; on September 28, 1967, when Enugu was captured by Nigerian troops, the Biafran capital was moved to Umuahia.

At the end of the Nigerian Civil War in 1970, Enugu again became the capital of East Central State. On February 3, 1976, East Central State was broken into the two new states Imo and Anambra. Enugu became the capital of Anambra State.

In 1991, the military dictatorship of Ibrahim Babangida divided the old Anambra State into two new states, Enugu State and Anambra State. Enugu remained as the capital of the newly-created Enugu State, while Awka was named as the capital of the new Anambra State.

The main indigenous people of the city are Ogui Nike who live in the areas surrounding Hotel Presidential and Obiagu and Ama-Igbo areas, as well as Ihewuzi and Onu-Asata areas. Other groups include the Awkunanaw people, who live mainly in the Achara Layout and Uwani areas; Enugwu Ngwo people, who live on the hilltop with their farm lands sprawling all over the valley. The discovery of coal deposite in their land gave rise to settlements around the foot of the hills and as the population grew, the city expanded into the areas of other indigenous inhabitants. The city was called Enugwu Ngwo before it was changed to just Enugu. Nike indigenes live mainly around the Abakpa

City of Aba
Aba is a city in Abia State, southern Nigeria, located on the Aba River. As of 2005 it had a population of 897,613.

Aba is a commercial city of international repute featuring a high concentration of small scale industries — and a number of sizable markets including the famous Ariaria market. It is very densely populated and has a high ratio of artisans in its population. Aba is nicknamed "Enyimba City" which means 'Elephant City'. Administratively,the city falls into two local government areas namely:Aba North and Aba South. Aba North has its headquarters at Eziukwu-Aba,while Aba South has its headquarters at Aba Town Hall. Aba business men and women are very industrious and pride themselves as the Taiwan of Africa. Indegnious insdustrialists manufactures the following without government assistance: shoes, clothing, hand bags, paper, nail and steel, furniture household items, luggages, building matterials, soft-drinks(soda), etc. Dominating this commercial city are the Abiriba people who introduced importation and helped make Aba an international city that it is. With all the commercial success of Aba city, it could definitely rival the great China, Singapore and many other emerging markets should the federal government declare the city a Free Trade and support its export initiatives and budding industries.

Originally settled by the Ngwa Clan of the Igbo people, The current location of the city is based on land conceded to the British crown by the Eziukwu - Aba community. It eventually became an administrative center of Britain's colonial government. Aba is a major commercial center since it became part of the old Eastern region. In 1901, the British founded a military post in it, and in 1915, a railroad was constructed to link it to Port Harcourt, which transported agricultural goods such as palm oil and palm kernels[1]; in 1929, it was the site of revolt by women historically known as "The Aba Women Riot", in protest of colonial taxation policy.[2] In 1967 duringthe height of Nigerian-Biafran War, the capital of the short-lived secessionist state of Biafra was moved to Aba from Enugu as Nigerian troops advanced into Biafra. It is surrounded by oil wells which separate it from the city of Port Harcourt, a distance of about 30 km; a 30 kilometer pipeline powers Aba with gas from the Imo River natural gas repository[1]. Physically it is well connected, with roads leading to it from Port Harcourt, Owerri, Umuahia, Ikot Ekpene, and Ikot Abasi[1].

lol but that's only for the villagers to know apparently

I know someone who was there recently.
He said the hotel where they stayed at had guards with machine guns and they went around with mobile police armed to the teeth and he thought the guns may accidentally discharge and shoot him.
Chinese had invaded the place and bought up every available piece of land and built high fences around them.
Only a small minority of the citizens have gone back to school and the place still has an atmosphere of death.

SeanT21:

NOT REALLY~~~Unless your parents are from the village then they will explain the different traditions.Most Liberians living in the city could care less about cultural and traditional ways.They do what they want to do.Like I stated before[b],I did not even know what tribe I was till last year[/b].Tribes,traditions,etc do not seem important to the ordinary Liberian.That is just how it is.

at least you could mention the current culture of letting foreigners run virtually everything in your country
The total disorganization of schools , lawlessness  and abject poverty after the civil war which is still ongoing
The class distinction between the minority slave settlers from America (who regard themselves as superior) and the majority indegenious population such that many claim to be from the "slave settling lineage" rather than indigenous.

grafikdon:

The parents are to blame in most cases. When you forbid your children from speaking "vernacular'' at home, the ''vernacular'' will fade away into oblivion. Some of the parents believe it is a sign of ''enlightenment'' or civilization, but I believe they are suffering from a very bizarre form of mental derangement.

It is never too late to learn though. If an oyibo woman married to an Igbo man can speak Igbo fluently ([b]including the bush Awka dialect and **Osisi people's incoherent gibberish dialect ;[/b]D ), I don't see why any Igbo (who was somewhat deprived of the opportunity by perhaps imbecilic parents) can't master the language.

ROFL.
You get dialect and you get the imirimious deep deep one
even the Igbo alphabets A B GB D no fit write am

I hear say na A B CH D now

wow sisijinx,where have you been?

Anioma should be created and zoned to the South East.They belong with their kits and kin

You just like silly controversies 

lagosboy, Jarus, Frizy,Dis Guy, Riskie, Brash,Fellis,Auwal. even Babs and Olabowale . .all venture out of the religious board .

Some are even active posters on other boards apart from the religious board

Lagosboy ocassionally in Politics on Islamic threads, I'm right

Jarus who the fried Tilapia is this?He's an Islamic forumite

Frizy is  rarely anywhere else,he's not a frequent poster but when he logs on,he heads straight to the Mosque section

Riskie :isn't this the one the Muslim men were fighting over sometime ago,she's rarely anywhere else when she comes around

Brash? you mean the lunatic mcrackles,that one na Muslim?his parents are,the boy is a heathen

Fellis and Auwal are bonafide almajiris only in the Muslim section,you can even tell they were schooled under the mango tree

Olabowole and Babs I've interacted with the longest on Nairaland,they are almost always only in the Muslim section,infact they have praying mats, their charms and amulets and rubber kettles there

DeReloaded:

I wonder if you'd be this wounded if she wasnt a "family member" Ibime.

The fact that she tried to do away with the situation by sending money proves that she had no remorse.

why else would she send money?

Exactly.
This is just a tribal,family thing to him.
If it were Ibinabo killed,he'll be singing a different tune.
