First of all Biafra is a non-existing Country in reality. It's an imaginary country and secondly, what do you mean dual nationality?? I'll advise you revisit your dictionary for detailed definition. Tell me which dual nationality you re claiming....? Nigeria and where else? A non existing country?? You are braindead. You need revival. A tribalist, Unpatriotic and ignorant bunkum. With your so called dream country, I guess you have no identity. Sorry for your life

What's your obsession with Biafra? If I claim a non existent country, how does it affect your life? E be like say be witch! Patriotic fool!

sabiguy:
are you a joke or something? I'll take you serious when you float a Nigerian flag. Until then you are just another hypocrite

You are a tyrant. Quite rude I must say. Biafra is my dream country. Nigeria is my country for now cos of circumstances.
People have dual nationality. I don't really get you. You must be a Yoruba muslim. Your reasoning sucks!

sabiguy:
Actually, you don't deserve any intelligent kind of argument or treatment from me. You are just the type to be put where you belong. Nothing to be taken serious about you. That's my view of you.

Let it go. Grow up and move on. Quit living in the past...stop operating with 1974 mentality in 2016

You should rather grow up son. Think about how to make Nigeria and Africa great without blaming America for Africa's self inflicted problems. Stop the blame game loser!

sabiguy:
Mere looking at your DP and seeing a defeated flag of an imaginary country that would NEVER come to existence, I can understand how deluded and mentally frustrated you feel. You are very rude.

Is that all you can say. I thought you are intelligent. You are possibly a muslim Yoruba. Keep screaming conspiracy!

sabiguy:
It's hard to pick where to start from, but then the USA is determined to keep floating the world power and they easily feel threatened by the rise of any other empire (country) because they think they have the monopoly of diplomacy (I mean they think no other empire can control world power without misusing it except them) hence they want to oversee every activities of every countries in the world in order to quickly checkmate anyone trying to grow equipped enough to compete with them. USSR was on a mission to attain that height but then Reagan had to quickly terminate that by inflicting rebellious elements that led to the breaking up of USSR and this is one thing Russia is still holding against the USA. Have you ever wondered why North Korea refuse to be part of any world diplomatic summit? Have you ever wondered why Russia can never trust the USA? Have you ever wondered why even China is very skeptical about ties with the USA? Have you wondered why German empire (Germany) with the most sophisticated ammunition technology was banned from making ammunitions? The Arab countries has decided to develop without the USA' definition of democracy and somehow it worked out in places like dubai, Saudi and other Arab empires. Gaddafi was on a mission to put Africa as a whole on a different level in the sense that he supplied water thruout Sub-Saharan African deserts, Libyans were having free housing, free education, taxless economy and the highest of all he was in the process of creating a gold currency which will be the ONLY acceptable currency for Western or non African countries to purchase our oil and natural resources and you know what that means? It means if USA or China or any one wants to buy our oil, they'll need to first purchase the gold currency from Africa before they can buy oil and if that works out, it means Africa will decide how much they want to rate the gold currency against the dollar (e.g maybe 1goldcurrency=$20). You can imagine how that will rapidly boom up Africa's economy and render the US currency useless. It won't only affect the US but also other bigger western empires and this explains why they had to conspire against Gaddafi by sponsoring internal rebels in Libya with the support of the almighty NATO (an organization consisting of the combination of world powers). African leaders were too scared to support Gaddafi when he needed them the most because nobody wants NATO to come and bomb their country too so Gaddafi had to go down, but I have a personal respect for Gaddafi even tho his dream was cut short. He stood up against world power and died on a cause he believed in so big shame on the so called African leaders and big shame on the so called African Union for not standing up for a cause that would liberate Africa. Like I said again, USA is the real terrorist

I could go on and on but again,... It's deeper. It takes a legendary view to actually understand how the world game is being played. The only person who had the courage to stand up for us (Africans) was killed right in front of us by the oppressors.

Rubbish of the century! Even if this crap is anything, what are your plans to stop America?

I saw the buses at the govt house chapel too. I don't really know where they ply.

Abagworo:
Imo is not doing badly in terms of wealth. We are one of the richest States in Nigeria if based on average wealth distribution. Our Government is not wealthy as a result of many factors which existed from colonial era. The major markets, industries and transport hubs have always been in Onitsha, Aba and Enugu. What we should do is to continue building on tourism because that is where Imo has an edge. It will take a while but believe you me it's gradually paying off. It will not take up to 15 years more.

Many Naira Billionaires from Rivers State have either quietly relocated to Owerri, own a Hotel there or are erecting a mansion to move in before year end. What do you think is the reason?

My dear, I know that Imo state can boast of assorted number of rich individuals. There is no doubt about this. What I'm saying is how a calculated effort can be made to produce more millionaires. You catch my drift?

How to create more millionaires in Imo state:

Millionaires can be created through a planned means. It pains my heart that the people in government lack the knowledge of basic economics. Let's go to the matter. Creating MILLIONAIRES require only one thing:

Every money generated in Imo state should be spent in Imo state.

However, this is not possible in our present economic state. We can however achieve 70 percent of retaining money in the state. Let's ask ourselves these few questions:

Why should Imo state government give contracts majorly to foreigners?

Why should every produce be sourced from aside the state?

Why give petty labor work to northerners and Togolese?

Why buy clothing and apparel from outside the state?

Bottom line: Rochas should forget his factory factory job job mantra. Localize government expenditure encourage local production and consumption. If money is in the hands of the common man, they will invest in the state and the economy will boom.

Watch out for part 2. Critical analysis and contributions are welcome.

uncleade:
it might be true that some yoruba cheats on their women, maybe it's because they have chance to do so,because in yoruba land,man owns woman, unlike in certain tribes, it's rather woman who owns her man.so in a community like igbo's, where woman wears trousers at home,who dare you,a man, to attempt cheating on her.

What rubbish are you spitting! So Yoruba women don't wear trousers at home.

freshdude99:
Young man, I disagree with you totally. Why,bcz politics is all about what works best for you within an entity. Nigeria is no Europe or America, Nigeria is and will remain Nigeria. Southerners irrespective of W or E value education bcz we are prowestern. Good, its supposed to be a comparable advantage for us in Nigeria but guess what, the opposite is the case. Fulani herdsmen will kill and commit all manner of atrocity, the police will call them illiterates and release them after some days. For ur information bro, the west with their medias e.g economist, NYT etc. Don't have Nigeria's interest at heart. So if u are expecting them to write good tinz abt us, bro forget it, ask china and they will tell u better.
I totally got the points u tyna posit, but vehemently refused to accept it. Jonathan never lacked ideas, he had it in full. The problem is that Nigeria, that's me and you aren't ready yet to make a headway. U want a Yoruba man to be the one that will take us there irrespective of the route while I want an Igbo man to take us there irrespective of the route too and an Hausa man also thinks its only his brother that can take him to the promise land. The moment we can solve that problem first, then we all are ready. Mind you the only way Europe could solve theirs was by giving almost all tribe a country of their own. Some country in Europe is just 3million, some 2m. I hope u will understand where am heading to

This is the reason why Igbos in South south and South east want Biafra. We may have little differences but we understand each other better.

The same Mbaise folks that hate Okorocha so much. Nawa o. Rochas should remember Okigwe zone abeg

Schematics:
Chidi Njoku, you are right of course we all know that Awka is like a rural town.

Bounce clown!

Anuohia! I don give you food. What's your fixation on Imo thread? Since you hate Imo state so much, why don't you leave their thread.

Schematics:
Why are you always bitter with yourself? Can Owerri beat any picture already posted here? Why are you always frustrated and filled with inferiority complex.

It is clear that Awka has made Owerri to look like a rural town. The pictures speaks volume and contradicts everything you say all the time. Until your useless state gets infrastructures as this then your state capital will continue to be backward.


[s][/s]

Comparing Awka to Owerri is like comparing Abuja with Paris. Owerri is on a different level. Awka will get to Owerri status in fifty(50)yrs time. Inugo. Now bounce off!

Vicboi1:
Imo is indeed in one chance how can 1 bag of pure water be 250 Rochas is a fool only in Imo because when I called my bro in anambra he told me that it's cheap there Rochas deserve to be stoned to Death

You are talking rubbish oga. How is it Rochas fault? Give the man some credit.

This is the kind of thing you see when a society is built on hypocrisy. Africans are overwhelmly hypocritical. The lady may have been trying to appear clean. Three parties are to blamed: The irresponsible father, the useless n hypocritical society and the stupid lady.

AfroBlue:
i can't speak for women but i would imagine that most would aspire to have a happy and healthy family unit and one day future grandkids to hold and spoil rather than a fat bank account, accomplished career, dried up eggs, and a ton of abortions and damaged reproductive organs.

yeah, that's definitely modern alright.

Your imagination boy!!! Imagination and illusion.

christopher123:
Funny enough..It is non igbos that complain most especially. If a man is ready to marry in Igbo land...He should get prepared.


Simple...I am getting sick of

Igbo this Igbo that...We aint the only tribe in Nigeria

My brother I tire o! Same waste people that father children from every kind of women. They keep masturbating on Igbo matters! Smh!

For the records and for those who keep talking nonsense about Imo state: Bride price is not the main issue but the other items in the list. In my community in particular,we don't do Igbankwu.

The list and the pride price for an average man can NEVER exceed #200,000. Unless,you want to massage your ego.

All towns do not have the same list. Some are cheap,some are expensive. List vary from kindred to kindred in the same village.

Igbos value their women so non Igbos may not understand why we fulfill these hard tasks to prove our love.

I personally think that bride price should be scrapped. It makes women object for men.

Those Igbos shouting Imo state Imo state kilode? Abi una no dey give list plus igbankwu.

Hypocrites everywhere!!!

christopher123:
I am an Igbo and we don't need reorientation.. Good things are not cheap

I am a married man and it takes a man to marry

Go to India and see married rites
Go to Japan
Go to Korea

It is our culture and we ain't complaining


Easy come easy go

You have to get prepared for the list and mind you that the list is debatable

Idiots will never understand this especially Yorobbers with their smelly women. Marriage is a milestone in a man's life. It should be prepared for. Every goddamn thing in the list is negotiable.

Kennydoc:
Your post makes no sense, honestly.
Have you ever read that there are more cases of domestic violence meted on Igbo ladies than ladies from other tribes in Nigeria? If you care to know, divorce is more among Yorubas than Igbos, and Igbo men are more caring towards their wives than men from many other tribes.

Even though I don't encourage families making heavy demands on their prospective in-laws, the truth is that no amount charged will be enough to cover what the parents really spent in raising their daughters, especially when the said girls are responsible.

Also, it's not in all Igbo states that you see all these high demands for marriage. Such things are rarely seen in Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi. Marriage in these 3 states I mentioned, on the average could be as cheap as in many other parts of Nigeria.

And the other two?

theMEGAman:
my brother don't mention igbos mention ur state cos my side NNEWI south anambra state will never quote any amount to u for the bride price but u can do anything u have as price from #500 up, out of the money u brought as a price the father of the girl will only take #100 (but it optional some will take all)and give u back the rest and pray for u and ur bride, no matter the level of the bride in education all are equal in term of marriage, for drinks we don't joke with it cos it constitutional to the kindred and villagers, I don't think that u can spend much if want to marry Enugu and ebonyi girl cos my brothers marry in this two state and I know how much they spend. Come to IMO state I will never advise any of my friend to go and marry in IMO . I surprised to see this abia listoo, I can compel it with IMO. so before getting married to any girl ask for their list first so that u will not cry at last .

It is obvious you are illiterate. Why should you generalize? Have you married from every community in Imo state. Onye apali!!

Baludu1:
. You are correct who ever think that Abia state marriage right,custom and tradition is on a high side should try IMO STATE Especially MBANO and MBAISE. Then you will know that khaki no be leather.

Remove Isiala Mbano from your useless assertion.

BG Technical Inaugurates First Pipeline Pigging Products Factory in West Africa in Imo State
April 12, 2016

Ejiofor Alike

BG Technical Limited, 100 per cent indigenous firm has completed and inaugurated first pipeline, pigs and accessories factory in Nigeria and West Africa.

The inauguration of the factory located in Owerri, Imo State, was performed at the weekend by the Acting Executive Secretary of Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Mr. Patrick Daziba and the Group General Manager of the National Petroleum and Investment Management Services (NAPIMS), represented by Mr. James Jock.

The factory is expected to generate foreign exchange for Nigeria and help to provide quality products for the maintenance of pipeline so as to prolong life span and reduce cases of pipeline rupture as well as leakages.

The Executive Secretary of NCDMB, represented by the Director of Monitoring and Evaluation Mr. Tunde Adelana disclosed that the multibillion Naira factory was another evidence and validation that the efforts of the board was paying off in real terms in the oil and gas industry. This, he said is another attestation to the fact that Nigerians can develop the required industry capability once the enabling environment is in place.

“The opening of the factory is indeed worthy of celebration. Looking back at the years of pre-NOGICD Act, investors like B.G Technical would probably not be able to compete in the area of pigging services due to the preponderance of foreign goods and services,” he noted.

“ I would like to encourage other companies across sector to always strive to develop their capacities and capabilities-human and structural-as the focus of local content development is not to compromise quality but to ensure that work done by local companies can compete with that of their counterparts in any part of the world,” he added.

In his speech, Jock, said NNPC had the mandate to utilise local resources in the execution of projects in the upstream sector in line with the NOGIC Act.

“ My commitment from NAPIMS is that we are going to support B.G Technical so that the investment made to domesticate technology and create jobs in-country would not go down the drain,” he said.
The Chairman of Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), Bank-Anthony Okoroafor said the opening of the factory owned by one of the members was a plus for the association as frontline in the push for domestication of technology in Nigerian oil and gas industry.
He said the association was happy with one of the members making such a huge investment as the only way to empower Nigerians.

“This is the only way Nigeria can grow her gross domestic product (GDP), preserve the foreign currency earnings and create jobs for the populace. It is an exciting time and PETAN will continue to dedicate time and resources needed to promote domesticate technology,” he assured.

In his remarks, the General Manager, Nigerian Content, Shell Petroleum Development Company Mr. Chiedu Oba commended the management and staff of B.G Technical for the commitment towards the establishment of the factory with huge resources at a time of economic downturn.

Earlier in his address, the Managing Director B.G Technical, Mr. Geoff Onuoha said the factory was initiated to bring an end to the importation of pipeline pigging products, boost availability of mainly quality products and help to preserve foreign exchange earnings for operators and the federal government.
Onuoha lamented that the challenge facing indigenous manufacturers in Nigeria was that it was cheaper to transport goods from United Kingdom (UK) to Gabon than from Nigeria to Gabon because of the bottlenecks of export from getting regular transport.

“Between UK and Gabon there are possibly three to four cargo flights a week. While between Nigeria and Gabon there is no cargo flight. So, cargo flight drops your cost drastically. Those are things that count and I believe with time those factors militating against us will become a thing of the past overcome,” he added.
