I AM IMPRESSED..CAN I SEE AROMA AXIS AND OKPUNO OF AWKA..THOSE DAY I WAS AT UNIZIK AROUND 1998 SINCE THEN HAVE NOT VISITED AWKA...MAYBE HELP ME REAL ESTATE OR PROPERTY THERE..AKU RUO UNO ...IGHOTAGO

I am from okpuno. If u enter okpuno now u no go believe say na d same okpuno of 1998 u dey see so. Massive developmenthave taken place,infact e get some place wey u go dey dey look at okpuno u go think say na onitsha u dey look at, lots of hotels, lots of big buildings, mansions etc. As for real estate, okpuno is da bomb but getting a land is d problem. Lands near d then LAN hostel go for between 2,3,4 million for a plot. Then inside ezinifite village and nodu village na between 2 to 3 million but if u manage get land come build like one,two or three storey building for rental,guy na big money u go dey make. Okpuno is well developed now.

darelar:
how do you explain this then

this was after buhari waited for over 30 minutes. Cameron just pitied buhari and decided to show face just to save buhari more embarrasment.

That first picture of buhari waiting for cameron get as e be o,walahi. His posture says buhari don wait tire and was like getting irritated. Did he actually wait for over 30 minutes b4 cameron came to see him? If na true, e get as e be o.

Mr man, pls stop joining my South-South with ur South-East. we are not one.

I also say fvck the south south. We don't need u. U will have it worse when the igbos have biafra and u r not part of it, na dat time hausa people go show una shege. Stay on ur own abeg. To my igbo brothers pls stop including south south in our biafra,its getting to their heads. Let them stay in their nigeria with the hausas and yorubas.

zendy:
No no no . I disagree ooo. We cannot leave Anioma or should I say 'Delta-Igbos' back in Nigeria. How can we have Biafra and leave Asaba out of it? Everything from Asaba to Agbor and the Igbo speakng parts of Kwale and Igbanke cannot be left behind unless they come out publicly to say they want to stay in Nigeria. Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu is Delta-Igbo. But when some people want to castigate him for leading the first coup,they will say he is an Igbo man. The same people will later turn around and say that Delta-Igbos are not Igbos because they are in the SS. I laugh in French.

I say we leave them. The option is open to them, join biafra or remain in nigeria. We r not begging anyone to join d igboland. The igbo deltans deny biafra or attach to it when it suits them. We can work with our five states.

Duru1:
Only a dumbass junkie attaches any form of importance to the so-called south-south. I demand Republic of Igbo Land in order to see what remains of idiotic south-south.

u just echoed my thoughts. The south south should remain in nigeria if they want. Biafra with only 5 igbo states is enuf for us. Even igbo deltans can remain in nigeria,na dem sabi.

For d first time, I actually don't feel proud to b nigerian. Make we just divide dis country abeg.

Chai! Why would any sane person still buy arik ticket?

synergycom19:
Are they all clean in their countries?the woman Obasanjo sacked for corruption and money laundering is white,what about EMRON that collapsed in the US due to massive fraud and corruption?, what about the ponzi scheme in the US?

the way some pple dey reason sometimes sef. They r not they r clean but that we create problems for ourselves and then make it their business to solve our problem. The biggest oil producing nation in african does not have petrol, what do u have to say about that? Africa is in a sorry state even with all d natural resources we in abundance, who do u blame for that? Black race has to wake up bro.

ehie:
Shame of a nation... having rice in your kitchen but because you dont have a stove you order jollof rice from China,starving as you wait

I Bet the countries we export fuel to do not have to queue in fuel station.

Nigeria will be better

I have lived in SA for years now and I have never had to queue to buy fuel. I drive in, tell dem the kind of fuel I want and the amount, I drive off. I don't know why nigeria is in such a sorry state.

They r all true. The black race is a failed race. Always depending on others. We create problems for ourselves and expect the whites to come solve them for us. God has blessed us with fuel but we r not even able to manage it. Shame on the whole black nation.

shurlermoz:
Abeg make dem go form their own govt and make GEJ(their hero) the president, I am sure he will be able to transform that region and make it the envy of all.

Odua should come together too, we have enough to be whatever we want to be, either good or bad.

I believe the Hausa too can survive on their own, there is no force in friendship abeg.

A typical Igbo man always want Biafra so let them have it,its their right.

exactly my thooughts. Igbos want biafra,let us have biafra. I still wonder why d yorubas still want to remain in nigeria wit the north. The north is the reason nigeria is d way it is. Why can't d yorubas wan't their own nation or join hands with the igbos for another nation. I don't mind who we form a country with al long as the hausas r not a part of that country. Hausas r nigeria's worst enemy.

Good one willie. The rest too.

yemaldo:
Pls go and read d op previous posts,he is a bigot

I'm not reading his previous posts cus this is d one we r talking about. The op mentioned igbo, hausa and yoruba in his write up. What I don't understand is why d yorubas r attacking him.

outlawscrew:
dats exactly Wat am saying oda tribes were included and none questioned d op, dis is not a Yoruba thing but it seems dey r taking it up. I pity for 9ja o bcus with such behavior 9ja is going nowhere, if u knw ur shortcomings n can't accept it den I fear wia 9ja is headed.

exactly bro,well said. If we can't accept our faults then there is no way forward. I wonder why they (yorubas) attacked d op, igbos r not bitching about this write up,hausas neither but d yorubas just took offense. U call d igbos 419ners,Ritualists,boastful and all that but when u r called what u really r u start crying. Every nigerian knows yorubas r backstabbers,dirty,cowards,betrayers. There r also good sides to d yoruba people.

U people just proved d @op right that yorubas r critics, they criticise everything. The op just statef d merits and demerits of IGBO,HAUSA and YORUBA. U guys just confirmed what op wrote (critics)

sebali:
We wud love if u pple wud take ur five states and relocate back from d oda regions and go form ur Biafra.
D problem is dat u guys are so bent on going with states dat dnt sare ur biafran idea e. g Delta, Akwa ibom, Rivers, Cross River, and Bayelsa. If u remove these states from ur biafran map, am sure nobody wud ask u guys not to go.

N. B : My boss who is from Ukwani[delta ibo] who gt angry if u address gim as an Igbo man and he is neva 4 d so called Biafran struggle. Now imagine an ijaw man or calabar man supporting d Biafran Struggle.. Not in dis life, nor in d next

u talk as if igbos are forcing any of those states u mentioned to join biafra. Before d civil war did igbos count those states to secede with us? NO. Thing is, nigeria is a tribalized entity and everything that's done here has tribalism attached to it. Tell urself the truth,is this one nigeria working? Do u see an end to a tribal free nigeria? Forget about sentiment for once, is this one nigeria a disaster or not?

This is one of d reasons we want biafra, discrimination against d ibos. An hausa man bombs and kills a lot of people,he gets away free, an igbos man protests,he is arrested,he gets stripped naked and stands trial. What a country!

I just don't get it, before jonathan our railways systen was in coma. Jonathan came in and revived it,I'm not saying he couldn't have done better but while other past governments ran our rails to d ground(not forgetting nigeria airways) jonathan actually did something to revive our rail systems. Atleast now we have trains that actually run unlike before. Kudos should b given to him. The onus now rests on the incoming government to improve on what gej did in that sector. If anyone mocks jona for doing something about this then that person is just being unappreciative. My half kobo.

I only have two questions. 1,what did amaechi use his 8 years as governor to do for rivers? 2,why did amaechi think he would be arrested if apc had lost the election?

Goodluck to u GEJ. I only hope that nigerians won't regret voting u out. People have blamed pdp for d past 16 years but when I look inside apc I see those people dat were responsible for those 16 years. And to gej, get rid of pej.

morpheus24:
So are Nigerians.

What's your point?

lol morpheus, seems to me that u have decided/concluded to only see d bad side of SA and b blind to d good sides which totally outweighs d bad. Nigerians r also accomodating but I must say that if foreigners in nigeria behave or commit crimes in nigeria d way they do here, nigerians would've driven them away. Try not to b biased bro. One love.

DieVluit:
There's only ONE EXCUSE that's fact and it's about Nigerians:

They sell drugs and they are pimps. Not "foreigners", but Nigerians. Everything else is irrelevant.

End of story.

Even this thread is full of typical Nigerian thinking like "does marrying a South African woman help me get papers".

That alone tell you what we are dealing with - people that would do anything for money, even if it means marrying a woman they don't love.

This also tells us how much a failure Nigeria is - for young men to be so desperate that they consider marrying a woman just for papers.

You are a failed immigrant, my friend. South Africa burned you and you can't get over it. You know nothing about South Africa even if you have lived in it. You failed to integrate and now you think South Africans owe you something. As an immigrant, it was up to you to do the work that would help you integrate. But you failed to and you ended up on the fringes of South African society. Now, you are bitter.

don't let morpheus get to u. I am a nigerian and south africa has been my home for almost ten years. Truth b told, south africans r a very accomodating people.

Even for my hometown okpuno I hear say dem dey collect land anyhow without paying compensation. And I get land wey worth about 3million for my town. I don dey build on am sha.

morpheus24:
Lets just do a little statistics here see how factual your numbers are. You say 90% of Nigerians in SA sell drugs based on your extrapolation from 98% Nigerian drug related cases in SA.

Estimated number of Nigerians in South Africa based on Consulate estimates.....about 400,000+

Take 90% of 400,000 this means that at total of number of 360,000 Nigerians in south Africa are drug dealers, pimps and the likes.


Do you see how st.upid that looks. If there were 360,000 so called drug dealers, pimps and the likes and lets say 30% had court cases,ti would mean that your justice department would be dealing with handling at least 100,000 cases of drug related crimes committed by Nigerians.

Lets say about 70% are prosecuted while 30% are able to slip through system, this would mean about 70,000 drug dealers are lavishing in SA African prisons.

This would lead me to believe that the SA government are not very smart seeing that the amount spent on a per person Nigerian in jail is more of a burden on their tax system that it would cost to just simply round them up and deport them.

Hmmm not very smart.


Please revise you stats!

dude forget about that embassy stats. That's laughable. In joburg alone I bet u there r more than 300 thousand nigerians. I bet u, we have almost one million nigerians here in SA

themilanway:
Thanks for the insight,was just curious as to why SA folks like tagging Nigerians as"Drug Lords".

that's bcus 90 percent of nigerians here are into selling of drugs,some out of frustration bcus of lack of job opportunities,no money, etc. I work for department of justice here in SA, 98 percent of court cases nigerians answer to are drug related and that is in almost every court house in SA everyday. So that's why naija people r termed drug lords. Its not an accusation, its reality.

eleven:
Honestly you have changed my perception about SA. Had written off travelling there with my family due to the xenophobic attacks. Will follow your thread to learn more and also show my wife to reconsider our decision. I like the sincere and matured way you answer questions. If we change our minds and decide to visit, you my friend I will surely see and your restaurant by HIS grace we will visit as part of our itinerary. Have saved your phone number. Thank you.

SA is a beautiful country. I've received visitors(friends) that visit from europe and america and they r always wowed by SA. The perception people have about this country always change for good when they visit.my friend who had their honeymoon here was like(brother abeg make them no rob me when I get here) I only laughed. He has been here with his wife 4 times after their first visit. He says this is d best medicine for the hustling and bustling in naija, like his GETAWAY destination.

LeSudAfricaine:
Alexandra, diepsloot are slums,\informal settlements Thembisa, Katlegong, Soweto, Gugulethu, Mamelodi etc arte townships

call a spade a spade not a gardening tool. Soweto is developed,its not a slum. Now can u compare hillbrow to alexandra?

holysina:
sharp. thought it was cheap here never knew Pretoria is cheaper. anyway tanx, wen ever I visit pretoria will have to visit that your side and taste their 9ja stuff.

where r u staying in joburg bcus I still buy food for 30 rand here.

rightflank:
Now, is that 12,000 Rands, right? And is it a weekly or monthly pay?

its a monthly pay. It also depends on where she stopped in her studies bcus my friend's wife has been offered 22,000 a month after tax. She's doing her fourth year now which she'll finish in november.

LeSudAfricaine:
ha ha ha, bru I'm South African born and bred, we can't argue about my country I know it like I know the back of my hand you can't teach me anything, The presence of bulidings alone does not make an area developed, yes the infrastructure is there but it's crumbling, Hillbrow over the years has degenerated into a slum, it is a shadow of what it once was, derelict buildings, open sewers, litter everywhere etc, there are slums in New York, Paris and London, Hillbrow is one slum of Johannesburg .To say no Nigerian in SA live in slums is laughable

dude If u read my first comment u would see where I wrote that hillbrow is not as clean as it should be. Have u seen brazilian slums, haiti slums? Those r slums. Just bcus hillbrow has a unclean streets does not make it a slum. I repeat again, if u call hillbrow a slum what do u call alexandra? If u've actually been to a slum u will realise that hillbrow is paradise.

REMMEI:
So far so fair. . . I'm follow this thread like shadow..thanks for opening it.. UCHEOKPARA100 & PAINGAIN bawz..i see you..i dey come SA come shot a musical video soon..

lol. No shaking but make ur own no b like Airforce1's never ready album.
