my father in heaven, why cant all nigerians especially the ijaws think like this man? Why, lord? O lord deliver us from tribalism and ethnicity! To me that is a bigger problem than corruption.lord please give all of us this mentality.

Abagworo: Obasanjo loves Jonathan with all his heart and is worried Jonathan might get killed for nothing. People have failed to understand that Asari and the militants are only interested in power and money and have no love for Jonathan. If Jonathan gets killed and power is handed to Asari or a South-southerner of the coup plotter's choice, I'm sure nobody will even ask any question. After all power is still with South-south. I love Jonathan as a man and I don't want him hurt but the events being witnessed in Nigeria today suggests a particular direction and that's why OBJ used the caption "Before its too late".

my brother,honestly you are one of the very few igbos here with deep insight. The way the ss/se are heaping sand around this mans waist, i am not comfortable o!

lord have mercy! Yet theres no money to pay ASUU, doctors earn a meagre 1500 dollars/month, money some people spend on their dogs per week.no power supply.security is zero.no roads.no equipments in our hospitals.90% of our population are lucky to eat once a day.no jobs for UNEMPLOYABLE youth.....smh.

jp philips: is that what the thread is about?

Are you stoned?

deletrue: Can you imagine a leader (state governor) callling for stonning! To him that is the most popular way of correcting bad situations. So primitive indeed. These are the leasders some will follow. Just evaluate his suggestion, to stone corrupt puplic office holders. Isn't this the lowest level of reasoning! He is fast infected by the Housa way of life.

this is why comprehension is part of our curriculum.

wasak: Seriously he's performing beyond words. U need to c the kano state sports academy, currently 3 estates are under construction, also a new university is already completed North west university, the flyovers will really ease traffic congestion, I wish I can get u pictures but that will be after ASUU strike... I'm in Lagos now

hmm thats good to read.okay when you get back to kano then.

Billyonaire: No, I am not demented, but you are a hypocrite. These are uncouth facts. Cold facts. Hard facts that scare the living day light out of you. Go to Young Shall Grow Motors. I learnt that average of 20 Biafrans come to Lagos daily and 15 of them come to Stay, permanently. Yes, these are natural hurstlers, they will come here, and in 3 years they make it and build 3 mansions in the East and 30 in Lagos. Its not a bad idea. Cos they own 100% of Biafra and need to own more than 67% of Lagos. Its a game plan. its called Invasion. Ask PSquare about the meaning of Invasion.

lol

what of the nation? lol

kaura5000: the area they are building the flyover is the central business district of the state..it is the busiest area in the state.. kwankwaso also is building 2 underpass (i.e underground roads) the 35 megawatts kano ipp, northwest university, kano film academy and kannywood film city, kano sports academy, and to cap it all with the kano metroline.... kano o ni baje o!

my brother if you can move about town and get us some pictures, it would be appreciated.i hear the kano gov.is also a performer.

POPE II: Listen, do you know why Gej was forced to sack the census bureau guy ? : too much noise.
We must learn to keep our calm and stop behaving like kids in a candy store .
Jona is the president of the whole country and he got elected by non Igbo too, how do you think they will feel if his presidency is only about igbos? nd you throw it at their faces? Igbo have been unfairly treated by the,past administrations 100% true however we shouldn't rush and precipitate everything there's no way we can undo all the wrongs the,past administrations did in one or two mandates , let Gej work in silence, we must support him without boasting or empty chest beating, there's still a lot to do in the Eastern region and fixing our region/giving us back we deserve can not b achieved with everyone against us okay?

BTW Gej must swear on the bible that he will deliver the bridge

the same thing achebe complained of. No tact whatsoever

longest flyover ke? Length is not as important as its function.they are making it look like they are building a designer bridge.

Billyonaire: Not really, GEJ is just one of the messiahs. We have more of Jonathans, warming up. By 2017, we will NOT renew the OML and OPL, the Oil blocs will be redistributed. Imagine the Igbos without free money from Oil. then ponder what will happen, if a people that currently ships in 90% of the containers now have access to Oil Wells.

Imagine that, Just Imagine what will happen.

GEJ is a Liahona for the Igbo people.

...comedian!

Billyonaire: Not at all. All I know for sure is, if GEJ is in Aso Rock till 2019, Igbos will be the richest Tribe in Nigeria, because GEJ will make sure all shipments go to Onitsha via River Niger which has already been awarded to Julius Berger.

Guess who are the major importers in the whole of Nigeria ? Igbos

And when the whole containers berth at Onitsha, then Apapa will be a ghost Town.

That will mean the birth of Biafra. Shipments at Onitsha and Deep Sea Port at Akwa Ibom, International Airport at Enugu and Lagos will be living in past Glory..


You asked for it, you get it. GEJ 2019 means liberation of Biafrans.

smh.....GEJ is now your lord and personal saviour abi?

POPE II: ^^ dude stop this, are you cursed?

** falls from mtn mast laughing**

agbameta: We've had igbo president

ibo vice president

We have ibo ministers

ibo governors

ibo perm secs

ibo SFGs

ibo agency directors

ibo sentaors

ibo reps

ibo ambasadors

ibo are the dominant players and well represented in the current administration way more than any other region in Nigeria and even in the history of Nigeria

The current president and administration is your best friend over the other regions in Nigeria

What federal position from president downwards ibo people have not occupied in Nigeria?

So how level do you want this field?

The field is not only level in your favor, it's grossly lopsided in your favor and the fact that you are not reaping the benefits has nothing to do with the size or shape of the field but more with the fact that the folks you have representing you are incompetent and don't know how to send home the bacon and dividends of their esteemed offices and appointments or basically just looking after their own interests and not yours...


When are you people going to drop this pointless victim mentality and just face the truth and reality.

sorry not entertaining dregs today.try tomorrow.

ChinoElects:
Zona, you got everything okay but the highlighted part..

Between me and that dolt that was born by an unknown father in the creeks who is suppose to be in the rehab?

smh

aanumama: , honestly he deserve being fed on

silly girl.

amaechi and his guts! lol

revolt: level playn ground I'd very important, Cos it builds a system based on merit. wen u know equity is absent in a system it hampers desire to work hard, Cos u see mediocre succeed while you toil endlrssl. so automatically you tilt towards mediocrity.

revolt i agree! But lets not expect it always.the rest of the country knows that a level playing ground will favour the igbos.fact! And thats why they are screaming blue murder now.so once jonathan leaves do we wait another fifty years to luckily get another level playing ground? Lets look inward.thats my point.

geeez: Who do you think owns Stallion?

The Senate Committee or Dora since it seems to you they are Igbos?

We don't play in the local league here in the SW

Watch out for Toyota's plant soon in the SW

We don't cry, moan and hate ... We take action and make progress

very funny! Coming from a people who have had the structure of this country skewed in their favour from time Immemorial.enjoy!

most igbos here are championing for a level playing ground.there is nothing wrong with that but we dont need it! We are igbos for crying out loud.we are even lucky to get a level playing ground but my point is lets not even expect a level playing ground from successive governments.shikena!

what we need in the east is regional integration.we should put heads together for our advancement.the country has nothing in store for us.lets not hold our breaths.we can make something out of nothing.we ve done it before and we can do it again.my unhappiness is that we have become nigerianised.we have sworn not to help ourselves.we just seat and wait and pray that successive governments look our way(e.g GEJ).our very own innoson is struggling.have we made any plans to patronise him? What stops the south east governors from coming together and deciding to use his vehicles as official cars? We are on a long thing.

berem: the civil war is not an excuse not to have a president of Igbo extraction. Don't let other regions see us as unserious people. If we really want an Igbo president,we will work for it. But as it is,our Igbo leaders are ready to sell our chances for money. They should be held responsible for everything that has befallen our region.

when i made that post, i implied our zone was better than some others but as per the issue of igbo presidency, honestly i am not too keen on it.i ve lost interest in it and as a matter of fact is not the most important thing to us.

[quote author=Nuzo']Only a foolish man of which has to be a bigoted Nigerian would think that Ijaw want war simply cos Asari may have insinuated such.

To the best of my knowledge, all Asari has been saying is what any Niger deltan would say; "Justice or nothing else".

On the other hand, the Nigerian elites who happen to be the cabal/establishment won't allow war to break off.
And should war break off, trust me....nobody or ethnic group is going to ally with any dammed body to fight the Ijaws. Are the Yoruba going to ally with the Hausa or Igbo to fight the Ijaw?

Matter of fact, should war break off today, Massob, Mossop, opc, Acf, BokoHaram etc will use the opportunity to advance their own secessionist course.

Wait a minute, who did the naive op say was going to fight the Ijaw.[/quote]he diplomatically left that out.use your imagination..

POPE II: we shouldn't compare ourselves with mediocrity. Igbo can do way better than what we have now and you know that .

i agree.

barcanista: Ignore that Igbo-man, WE the Ijaws are not calling for war or secession, but resource control and improved living standard

this is the best post i ve read from an ijaw man in a long time.i wish your upland brothers would reason like you.they are determined to take PH back to the gutter.

POPE II: An Igbo will never become president of Nigeria, get over it, what we should do is support anyone who will bring development in our region, we are lagging behind because of the war which slowed down and sent us back to the stone age, let us work on our infrastructures and hold federal positions that can empower our people and region.

my brother look or move around the country and come back and tell us which zone looks like it was destroyed during the civil war.

Sincere 9gerian: If the brewery industry can boom in spite of epileptic power, then why not the automative industry? Nonetheless, with the privatisation of power done, we should expect significant stability in power supply in the next 2-3 years.

Meanwhile, power or no power, Nissan is already up and running. That means more jobs for Nigerians like you and I.

the brewery industry and the car industry each cater to a different clientele.many people can afford a bottle of beer hell a crate even, but how many can afford a brand new car...lol.but your point is well noted sha.

kettykin: The igbos fought a blind and unplanned war of secession against Soviet Union, British Empire and Arab world back Nigerian Army and yet inflicted a serious set back on the Nigerian army that gives them Night mare when ever they hear of Biafra.

Going forward the Ijaws will not fight a blind war of secession , ijaws are smarter than that , they will cut of the link to Nigeria's economy first before finishing Nigeria through insurgencies and guerrillas tactics.
Nigeria strength lies in the forming of alliances with neighbouring nations and super powers and using blockades which Boko Haram did not give them opportunity to use , the last outing of the Ijaws saw a very quick strike force that could get to anywhere near the coast like the Atlas Cove and Bakassi in lightning precision hitting their Targets and leaving with out detection unlike the Nigerian forces that can not hit with precision and always in the process slaughtering the innocent and incurring outrage of human right community.

Anybody who knows the effect of bombing third mainland bridge ,the numerous power plants in the Niger delta , airports refineries , Fuel depots ,sea ports , ships , stadiums and telecommunication infrastructure will not pray that the militants are ever provoked as long as Nigeria exists as an independent , united nation.

Ijaw/Niger Delta militants are about the only group invicible enough to perpetrate these kind of attacks and still be uncaught, if you doubt me ask Boko Haram .

yes they will do all that but they will still lose.the war wont even last one month before they surrender.they would need lots of ingenuity to survive long and trust me, they lack ingenuity! I live with them.i know how they reason.

meanwhile rain still dey fall for PH like no man business.when rain fell on two 'christmas days' back to back in this city some years back, i gave up on harmattan happening during christmas here..lol

topic should have been 'after lagos, abuja and PH, WHAT ARE THE NEXT THREE CITIES?'

clip: As much as I agree with you,I would have loved Ameachi to finish his laudable project. I love his zeal in the first term,if he had continue with the same zeal. No governor would have parallel success like him in this country .
He would have being a natural elder state man

in as much as he has slowed down ( due to distractions from the oga at the top) projects are still going on.i ve not Had time but i ll find time to go around project sites and take pictures
