I am beginning to see the use of using maps to explain some situations like Easternconsigliere does. Like now, though I know Nsukka I can't tell in what direction this Ogurugu is at all. Assuming there was a google map screenshot I would even go there and see for myself sometime.

I will start using maps too to help people understand.

Ogurugu, Igga and others are actually Igala speaking part of Enugu state. Ogurugu is located at the coastal basin of river Anambra towards the north.
Just enter boat at Otuocha move towards the north you will get to Ogurugu river port.
Though they are Igala speakers but they are bilingual in the sense that, they're fluent in Igbo language especially nsukka dialect.
The town was actually formed by a notorious Igala warrior ONOJA nwa OBONI(Onoja the son of OBONI) during Colonial and Slave era

Nothing stop the reactivation of this facility if the state govt or the representative of the people of Nsukka are willing.This may serve as an adjunct airport to the one in Enugu given that the University of Nigeria is in that locality.

Homeboiy:
Just enter Nsukka town and ask if ogurugu that’s as if you are going to barracks.The sea port is around Eha ndi Agu

You mean the old army barracks in Nsukka Town overlooking the University?

Alexbells, this is supposed to be your area.
That's water body looks nice.
Could make for good tourist site if developed.

Sorry I had not been online for some days now, Ogurugu is a boundary town between Enugu State and Anambra despite being part of Nsukka, I live in Enugu City, I'm supposed to be there on reconnaissance this month but couldn't go as a result of my trainings which I just completed my current phase today,

I can't go to Ogurugu this year, hopefully February, I will also be going to Opobo possibly around that time or later next year.

The current governor of Enugu, madam Veronica Ugwuanyi is from Nsukka, charity they say begins at home. If he can't complete it I don't know who can.

When Madam Veronica Ugwuanyi starts work on the abandoned project to revitalize it, people like you will start shouting he has moved everything to Nsukka. Confused people everywhere

How do i get to the town from Nsukka?

I was surprised when i took a night bus to Abuja from Obollo late last month and the driver went through Enugu Ezike instead of the normal Otukpa Branch Road.

I discovered immediately after Enugu Ezike, there's this town still in Enugu State that speak complete Igala. Even though I'm from Enugu, I never knew such place exists. Had always thought Enugu is pure Igbo speaking State.

Actually I don't know how you can get to the towns through Nsukka town reason being that I haven't pass through Nsukka to the towns. But I believe you can trace it out easily because most Ogurugu and Igga people are more aligned with Nsukka people. So therefore most of them must be resident at Nsukka.

Only 3 pictures was all you could post @op.

Why will the man charles ugwu do this to his own brothers?
Instead of him to draw government closer to finish the job.

From Igbo Nsukka United Front Facebook page:

BANDONED OGURUGU AIRPORT AND SEA-JETTY (SEA PORT):
TALES OF THE ABANDONED TREASURES & GLORY OF IGBO NSUKKA

In our quest to revitalize rejuvenate and re-galvernize Igbo Nsukka to reclaim all her lost glory and treasures, IGBO NSUKKA UNITED FRONT sent a delegation to the coastal town of Ogurugu in Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu State for on-the-spot assessment of what is left of the only Sea-Port used by the Colonialists in Northern Igbo Land and the Airport, initially started as an Aerodrome by the Military Regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo.

What our delegation discovered in the course of the voyage is enough to make a giant break down in tears.

Ogurugu, a coastal town which, if it had been handled differently by the succeeding governments, should today be at similar level of development and city awareness with Onitsha Anambra State because of its (Ogurugu) historical connection with the early European (whitemen) traders, the UAC, JOHN HOLT etc who traded in local produce like Palm Oil, Palm kernel, timber logging, fishes etc. All these goods/wares were either produced or brought to OGURUGU port from all over Igbo Nsukka from where they were shipped to Onitsha, Lokoja and outside world.

Today the OGURUGU town is a ghost of it's itself, artifacts of European presence littered the town.

THE OGURUGU AIRPORT

Airport in OGURUGU Uzouwani may sound like story from the space or a fairytale but it's empirically true and real.
It was an Airport said to be awarded by the Military regime of Gen Olusegun Obasanjo. At the airport, we found solid structures in a vast expanse of land. We found the runway, the tarmac, the control stations and other things that make up an Airport or Airstrip with a glaring evidence, that the facility has suffered total abandonment, deterioration and looting.

The most surprising finding we made at the Airport was the conversion of the Aerodrome facility to personal use by the former Minister of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Charles UGWU. It was revealed that he was using it for milling and re-bagging of rice, using his Company name, Tara Agro Company Ltd.

In our chat with a community leader named ONWUEME MOSES who happens to be the son of the Eze Ala that donated the land to the Federal Government for the construction of the Airport between 1977 and 1978, we were made to understand that a man named CLEMENT CHINEDU from Imo state claimed that he bought the facility from the Federal Government and sold it to the Fmr. Minister, MR. CHARLES UGWU, the Director of TARA AGRO COMPANY LTD.

We also got privy information that the Fmr Minister doesn't want people to know about the existence of such a facility.

In our interview with one of the Supervisors that worked at the Airport in the 70s, he noted that work stopped at the Airport at the inception of a new government in 1979 and the then civilian government shifted focus away from OGURUGU Airport.

We, in IGBO NSUKKA UNITED FRONT, have resolved to take further steps and get clarifications on how the Land was acquired by the Federal Government, and why such expanse of Land given to the government by the community for developmental purposes should be converted to private use by the Fmr Minister. (See below, the picturesque of the Airport facilities)

THE OGURUGU SEA-JETTY(SEA PORT)

Another big modern facility in OGURUGU town that has been abandoned is the Ogurugu inland Sea Port from where Colonialists entered Northern Igbo Land and where the entire Igbo nation in this side of the world traded their goods and transported their agricultural products to the outside world especially, through Onitsha.

We were also shown debris of what is left of the Commercial Bank used by Colonialists and Igbo Traders at the Port for transactions in Ogurugu.

From the facts we gathered, the proper reconstruction of the Sea Jetty and the proper dredging of the Omambala/Mabolo River
was attracted by our Govnor, Rt Hon Ifeanyi UGWUANYI when he was the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Marine and Ports Authority. UGWUANYI ensured that the development of the sea jetty commenced in earnest with some construction on the ground, however, the locals we chatted with, stated that work is no longer going on at the Sea Jetty and that they do not know why such life-saving and sustaining facility should be abandoned. (as you can see from the pictures below)

We shall endeavor to interrogate the cause of the abandonment and interface with the relevant Authorities and individuals in order to get the sea-jetty re-started all over again for the economic growth and development of our area and empowerment of our people.

IGGAH OIL FIELDS

Its heart-rending that Oil Fields situated under Iggah Land in Uzo Uwani LGA of Enugu State are today said to be in Anambra State and Anambra State indigenous Oil Company, ORIENT extracting Oil under the Iggah Land.

Till today, Ndi Igbo Nsukka nay Ndi Enugu State are yet to be told why Fmr-President Goodluck Jonathan should commission the Oil Fields at Iggah Community and Anambra State is enjoying the dividends and at same time declared an Oil Producing State, instead of Enugu State where the Oil fields are located! The benefits of an oil producing state can never be over-emphasised and such benefits should indeed come to Enugu State and not Anambra State.

We therefore call on all well-meaning sons and daughters of Igbo Nsukka and also the Enugu State Govermnent under our able Leader and our own brother to rise and take a critical look into this outright intimidation and unlawful siphoning of our natural resources at Iggah and also draw attention into the abandoned OGURUGU Airport, OGURUGU Sea Jetty and other similar projects.

It's not yet too late in the day to do the needful and properly interrogate what actually happened in those aforementioned abandoned projects.

People like you are the reason we will not advance. If he develops Nsukka, will it negatively affect Enugu? It's Nsukka not part of Enugu, it's Nsukka landmass not mote than Half of Enugu?

I don't blame you because you don't even understand English. Go back and read what you just quoted again.

Where in the post did i show i don't support his developing Nsukka? How can i come from Udenu and won't like Nsukka to be developed?

The guy i mentioned was shouting in another thread how Ugwuanyi moved everything to Nsukka even Parklane. That was why i mentioned him.

I hope when you read the post you quoted in-between the lines, I know you will understand. And when you understand just passs, don't quote me again.

Thank you so much for listening

Diokpa, u quoted me and I replied, wetin concern me with the other person complaining he is developing only Nsukka.

2021?

Enugu State need to instigate litigation against Anambra State and reclaim all that belongs to her that Anambra State are enjoying.

It's clystal clear that Enugu State is truly blessed with both human and natural resources, few weeks ago, the issue of natural gas popped up.

Rivers State did this and Rivers State won the case against Imo State. AkwaIbom also did a thing like that and they won against Cross-River and probably Rivers too.

You took the word out of my mouth. The governor is from Nsukka. Senator Utazi is from this same LG. They also have a rep member, Dr Martin Oke. Tell me what they are doing. Nothing.
While the governor is busy with nrashi, the senator is busy shouting gbaga gbaga everywhere.
