Ogbuefi2020:

You are making same mistake with the person you are quoting. Nsukka area is different from Nsukka town and since the area is closely built it is considered as a single urban space and in that case only anambra can have anything higher. The Nsukka group have been confirmed the largest igbo sub group followed by Ngwa

I am not concerned if you claim Nsukka is bigger than Enugu, Onitsh or Lagos.

Just cite a credible source. Infact, the size quoted here has already changed because someone already went there and edited the numbers. That is the problem with wikipedia, just anyone with access to internet can write anything on wikipedia.

Have you been there live or you judge from what you see in pictures. That's the pool side but it definitely doesn't look as grand as it looks in the picture.

Exactly.
PH pictures and discussions are not needed here.

Also, PH has no direct access to Atlantic without passing through Rivers/Water bodies controlled by Ijaws.

So, I don't really see What game changing factor, PH adds to greater Igboland.
PH port would face same challenge as Obuaku port.
If I were to choose one, Obuaku would be the obvious one.
PH is the new Jerusalem, and should Nigeria cease to exist , the Ijaws and Ikwerres would have to share the city in peace or live in pieces. I'd rather we stay off PH and allow them sort themselves out.
The Ijaws are cornering the entire SS coastline from Edo(Gelegele) to Akwa Ibom (Ibeno/Eastern Obolo) and are up against bitter minorities neighbors who lay claim to these territories from Gelegele, through Warri to Eastern Obolo. The Ijaws are spread too thin and have neither the number nor wherewhithal to maintain these territories.

Ndiigbo need a sea access and we have the numbers, strategic thinking suggests that we stay off Ijaw/Ikwerre issues to keep our options open. Ikwerres have proven to be no more brother to us than the Ijaws are, they are just our neighbors, the better we start viewing them that way, the better for us.

It's often the case that groups, Ikwerres inclusive put their group aspirations first, even if it's injurious to Ndiigbo. It's time Ndiigbo learnt to do same. ie puting Igbo interest first and foremost, even if it means another group suffers. No friends in survival, only Allies and foes.
Let me not say more here.

Aba is a also a city with better future sustainability than PH, it has-been allowed to rot by cursed and inept leadership Abia State has been under, from 1999 to date, with no end to the rape of that Great Enyimba city in sight.

How about we discuss more of Aba here and none of PH?
Can we do that?



You couldn't have said it better. We don't need the distractions of these insecure people. No more Ikwerre is or is not Igbo discussion, it nauseating. They don't only deny it but the detest and hate the Igbos and to me these people are mentally sick. No two ways about it. If I wake up one day and start claiming Bill Clinton as my biological father knowing very well he is a white man and can never have possibly fathered a black man then I am psychologically impaired. Ikwerre people and their Anioma inferiors are psychologically impaired and you cant have a sensible argument with a mentally unstable person. They have absolutely nothing to offer. Look at all the federal allocation they get (Delta and Rivers ) yet they are developmentally behind. They have inferior GENES!

guy stop confusing yourself. If you want to know the the actual area of any urban city in Nigeria, just Google search "list of cities in Nigeria" and Wikipedia will pop-up. Onitsha's landmass is just 58 sqkm but its urban landmass is 1,965 sqkm. Urban landmass is different from city landmass. If we compare city landmass, then Ibadan will be the biggest city in Nigeria but, when we compare urban landmass, Onitsha takes the lead. This same Wikipedia is what made me understand the difference between story buildings, high rise buildings and skyscrapers just the same way it differentiates between cities, urban cities, and metropolis.

Anioma's underdevelopment is as a result of being in Delta state where most of the developments are sited in the Warri area of the state. Under James Ibori, Anioma was robbed off development. Even Asaba was looking like a rural village and it continued even under Uduahga or whatever he is called, they could not even build the Stephen Keshi stadium for good 12 years because it was located in Asaba. All Anioma people need presently, is to have their own state.

Aniomas are one of the most accomplished Igbo stock

look at the number of great people anioma has produced

besides asaba and other anioma towns is the way it is because the past governments didn't give those areas attention

I believe we are seeing some changes now that an anioma man is in charge

Under okowas tenure alone he has repaired the asaba airport and built Stephen keshi stadium

This goes to show you what aniomas can achieve if they are given a state

The best mode of transport for the East is railway.
Railway is a mass transit mode of transport that can move over 100 people in one go
It will help to reduce road congestion.
Southeast should start a feasibility study into railway system for every part of the southeast.

Ask them to add the letter "R" in front of their names, and add some W and H to them as well, it would surely de Igbonize the names.They can as well remove the first letters.

For example, Okechukwu can be reduced first to Kechuku, then to Rkechuku and then to "Rwhkechuku"

Chukwuemeka to Chukumeka, to Rchukumeka and then to "Rwhchumeka".

For OP your name can be changed to Ramadi, to Rwhamadi.

Problem solved. grin They would even think you are from Rwanda.

The typical Ikwerre don't resemble Igbos we have been told, I'm sure with these name modifications, they would be ok. cool

Nsukka area is far larger than enugu area. I did not say its larger than onitsha and Lagos. Like someone said above city area is different from urban metro area. Aba is the largest city in SE followed by Enugu but Onitsha lead in urban metropolitan area because surrounding towns are filled up unlike Enugu surrounded by bush.

In the whole Anioma, not one University but Warri has 2?

GOLDEN TULIP ONITSHA

Wat that place needs is land cleared at the back to build a horse riding school and course.

It will add value to the hotel and require the same land size used for golf course.

This is how u build an economy.

U simply dont stop, just keep topping up and expanding.

Aba people will now have to start producing horse riding wears.

Yes 2 five star hotels were started in Anambra. One in Onitsha and the other in Agulu.

The one in Agulu is completed and now known as Golden Tulip Resort, Agulu. The one in Onitsha was concessioned to a private company that has since abandoned it.

the anioma people are very quiet people that is why the Urhobos and Isokos can behave anyhow they like in delta state. If the aniomas decide to take strong actions about their development in delta state, the southern delta people will just finish us politically and conflict between NdiAnioma and the Urhobo/Isoko people is likely to start.

That's why we really don't relate well with them. An Anioma state which will be part of the southeast geopolitical zone is our only and major hope of recovering from years of backwardness brought upon us by being part of bendel and delta states.
