Yet the killings have continued without the president doing anything about it. How can this man be so heartless?

What do you expect from a dullard if not such nonsense.

no need building in lekki when I have my lovely Enugu to beautify

Not just Enugu, Owerri is another serene & beautiful city you can build your house & have absolute peace & rest of mind with your family.

Cribpark:
Building a house in Nigeria is a social status. We all want a permanent home address and the desire doesn’t end when we travel. Infact, a sizeable portion of the $25billion sent by diasporans to Nigeria last year must have gone into residential housing projects. If you are in the Diaspora and you are building in Nigeria, you must be familiar with these scenarios and you can learn from the solutions proffered.

Thats true, a sizeable portion of diaspora remmittances goes into buying Lands & biulding projects.

Safer than Akwa Ibom and Cross River States?

Do you know that if this were to be an exam you would have failed woefully? The UN report mentioned regions & not states! The last time I checked, Akwa Ibom & Cross River are states within the SS region that comprised other unsafe states like Bayelsa, Rivers & Delta!!

Absolute truth, SE is definitely the safest zone in Nigeria today. I have been living in Owerri for some-time now & I cant remember when last there was a voilent robbery incident, even kidnapping is very rare, I can walk the streets of New Owerri as late as 12 midnight without any atom of fear. Igboland is just unfortunate to find itself in Nigeria, Igbos are too liberal & progressive to be in Nigeria, they would have made an excellent country if they are to be on their own!!

hehehehe, anybody who has Bubu's number should call him o, this is getting out of hand already, he should stop behaving as if he doesn't care, the same Nigerians that voted him are currently starving.

See what this one is saying ehhhh
This is d aiprt that is better than kano airport
When will God have mercy on Nihgeria and give some IPOB youths brain ehhh HABA!!!!!!

You are too illiterate for my liking! It is you that need sense, education and knowledge!! Please there is a difference between between busier and better I know that your region is suffering from mass illiteracy but you can consult google or use a dictionary you little Almajiri

1. NEVER DEPRECIATES IN VALUE; Land is about the only asset that never depreciates in value or worth over time, unlike shares that is volatile, stocks that could be at the risk of liquidation, savings that is devalued by inflation or vehicles that are degraded or worn out with use etc. Land rather keeps appreciating in value.

2. LIMITED IN SUPPLY; While population keeps growing geometrically, Land has remained static since creation or "the big bang" (depending on your belief). This means that the demand for Land will continue growing astronomically till Armageddon, apocalypse or an Asteroid from outer space destroys the Earth.

3. RURAL-URBAN MIGRATION; At the rate Nigerians are migrating from the rural areas to the towns and cities en mass for greener pastures, signifies that demand for Land/housing will always outstrip supply and relying on my basic Economics, this means that price for Land or rent will continue to skyrocket.

4. STORE OF VALUE; Except there is an Earthquake of a 7.5 magnitude on the Richter scale occurring directly on your Land (of course Nigeria is not prone to Earthquake). Your Land will always remain there for you or even outlive you as a legacy to your children (that's if you decide not to sale it). Land is the best store of value, better than banks, stocks, treasury bills, vehicles etc.

5. PEACE OF MIND; Nothing gives confidence and peace of mind more than knowing you have a piece of Land/house somewhere either for personal or commercial use.

6. STEADY STREAM OF INCOME; There are Landlords in Nigeria collecting hundreds of thousands, millions and billions annually from their property. Such people can never go broke, even in retirement or old age, they have something to fall back on, also the children are mostly proud of such parents.

7. PURPOSE OF COLLATERAL; Lands/properties especially when they have C of O and other relevant documents are always acceptable to banks and other lending agencies as a collateral or as sureties by the law-courts

I hope abooki knows there is a difference between Aba and Enugu. They chose the worst Igbo city to attack.

Let them try it in Aba and see if even one abooki will escape the consequence.

Ochi atogbuom, nwa nna kedu your hood na Aba? Ngwa road, york/park road, Ogbor-hill, Ariaria, Tonimas, Umule, Umungasi, Abayi ?? I lost my innocence in that city sometime around 2001 during the reprisal riots, the gory pictures has remained with me ever since, barbecued & charred bodies of a.bokis were pile along streets & junctions while the air smelt of burning flesh for days!! Many months after that horrific scenes, I could' nt get myself to eat suya because every attempt reminded me of those bodies!! Aba will be the Fulanis waterloo, those guys dont take prisoners, all they live behind is charred remains and not even body bags!!!

Rubbish, AIIA Enugu is far busier than Kano pilgrimage airport yet they ignored it because its in the SE!! We are watching that dullard in Aso rock!!

Such problem exist mainly in the swampy mangroove & fresh water regions of Nigeria. They are common in places like Lagos/parts Ogun state & also common in the Niger-delta. Such is rare in the SE except the issue of land having a lower altitude than the main road which is caused by continous piling & grading over the years that results in a higher elevation than the surrounding areas.

He is a Igbo man like you but had to disguise just to cause confusion.

Did he loose his mind? why would he do such and to what end

buharisbae:
5th class citizen!

keep playing victim card be ranting oo!

5th class citizen?? based on what? government suppression? Nobody is playing victim card, all Igbos are asking for is a level playing ground. The Igbos have always been Nigeria's biggest asset in terms of human resources, any sensible government would make maximum use of it and not try to suppress it for whatever reason.

MrAdetunjiBayo:
We yoruba muslims like the injustice been meted out to you SE and SS by our Baba Buhari. You did not convert to Islam and vote for Buhari so why should we give you justice.

Fulanis are 1st class citizens
Hausas are 2nd class citizens,
we yoruba muslims are 3rd class citizens
yoruba christians are 4th class citizens
Ibos are fifth class.

You see buharisbae is right. So we must support buhari in punishing because Buhari is greater than Awolowo. Say Baba!

Why do you still want Igbos to share nationality with you when you despise them so much? Why don't you allow them to leave if you cant live in brotherhood with them?

Every tribe in Nigeria has been treated unjustly. Even the Hausa/Fulani people that we always think are having it rosy cos their people are in charge are also victims cos I wonder why we have had many presidents of northern extraction and the North is still immersed in wide spread poverty. So to be honest, your post is meaningless.

[/s] You see why Nigeria may never get it right, intelligent people acknowledge when they are wrong and make reparation, Germany acknowledged their injustice against the Jews and made reparation to Isreal. In your warped mindset, the Igbos have no case? smh at you.

Historically, Nigeria got her independence in October 1, 1960 with Tafawa Balewa as the prime minister and Nnamdi Azikiwe as the "ceremonial president" suffix it to add that before the British left Nigeria, they relied on merit rather than quota system nor federal character in employing Nigerians that replaced them. As a result of this policy, the aggressive, self competing and well educated Igbos were able to dominate the civil service and government agencies like the railways, postal service, universities etc. At the same time, they effectively controlled the East, competed to an extent with the Yorubas in the West while in the North, they also competed favorably against the largely illiterate masses that were still wary of western education. The fear of Igbo domination was an existential threat across the country and culminated in the Saudauna of Sokoto and then premier of the North, during his address to the Northern legislative council making an infamous hate speech against the Igbos that would make that of Hitler against the Jews seem like a recommendation. During this period, through Nnamdi Azikiwe, were the most vocal proponents of a one and indivisible Nigeria while the North, scared of competition with the more illustrious South were keen on having their own country through the then popular chants of Araba! As classified documents and interviews granted by some of the British personnel involved then would later reveal. The British prior to independence were able to convince Ahmadu Bello that the North, through a manipulated census, favorable landmass, far more number of seats at the parliament and dominance of the army would still be able to control Nigeria politically even with their obvious shortcomings.

Fast-forward to 1966, the West was in crises, during the operation wetie and wild-wild West fame with riots, curfews and political killings common place. A biased federal government supporting Akintola, premier of the West against the popular choice of Awolowo. Then emerged a young Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, a Delta-Igbo man from the Midwest but was born and resided in Kaduna. He had ideas of an utopian Nigeria devoid of corruption and other ills. To actualize this, he planned alongside Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Major Adewale Ademoyega and several others that included ethnic Tivs, Ijaws, Hausa/fulani, Urhobo, Yorubas, Igbos etc while those that were assassinated included tafawa Balewa (the Prime minister), Ahmadu Bello (Premier of the North), Samuel Akintola (Premier of the West), Festus Okotie Eboh (Minister of Finance), Brigadier Maimalari, Col Arthur Unegbe (he was in charge of armory) and about seven others that were mudered in cold blood. Incidentally, the Premiers of the East and Midwest, both of whom were Igbos escaped unhurt. This was probably why it was called an Igbo coup despite the fact that the roll call of the perpetrators was a pan Nigeria list. Six months later, there was a counter coup and Aguiyi Ironsi, was assassinated and in quick succession, hundreds of Igbos in the army were massacred in the army across the country which was followed by a pogrom that resulted in the death of an estimated thirty thousand Igbo civilians in the North. If the counter coup plotters led by Theophilus Danjuma had stopped with the assassination of Ironsi and many top Igbo officers in the army, they would have been justified in their vendetta mission but when they extended it through omission or commission to mass murder of Igbos in the army and tens of thousands of Igbo civilians living in the North, it transformed into a mission on ethnic cleansing, comparable to the holocaust in terms of its magnitude and horror. For the first time in the history of Nigeria, Igbos demanded for secession against a state that couldn't protect them, not because they preferred having their own country but simply because they had no choice. After much politics between Ojukwu and Gowon bothering on the latter's refusal to implement Aburi accord and the creation of twelve states to break Ojukwu's grip on the Eastern region. In response, Ojukwu declared Biafra and a thirty month civil war ensued that resulted in the death of an estimated three million Igbos and other minority tribes, if such large number of people had died during combat, it will be better understood but they died in one of the worlds worst known siege or blockade, in terms of geographic reach and casualties. It was worse than both the Nazi German siege on Leningrad (former st Petersburg) during second world war that resulted in the death of about 670,000 people and the Serb siege on Sarajevo during the Bosnian war that led to the death of about 150,000 people. Majority of those that died on the Biafran side was as a result of starvation and Egyptian airstrikes! Battered on all sides, Biafra surrendered and Gowon promised a 3R's policy of Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction which later turned into a cheap rhetoric that was never kept despite the oil boom of the 1970's.

Like Achebe once said, what united other Nigerians was their consensus hate on Igbos and every regime seemed to sustain this unwritten rule. In 1976, during the military regime of Olusegun Obasanjo, Justice Mamman Nasir boundary commission was formed and with it came more punishment for the Igbos, Oil bearing and Igbo speaking communities were blatantly carved out (Egbema and Ndoki areas) of East central state and ceded to Rivers state without recourse to their kit and kin.

This Nigerian form of apart-held system against Igbos continued till the time of Goodluck Jonathan who tried to reverse some of these obnoxious policies.

THE WAY FORWARD [b][/b]

1. Abolish quota system and let admissions into Federal schools be on merit.
2. Implement True Federalism and resource control with Oil producing states paying royalties to the centre.
3. Institutionalize Ben Nwabueze's template to the deputy senate president on the new six zonal structure as Federating units.
4. Giving every region a sense of belonging through Federal establishments rather than concentrating in some and abandoning others.
5. Encourage cattle ranching or at most build grazing reserves across Northern states.
6. Disperse military formations proportionately across the country instead of having a particular ethnic group dominate the army or establishing a huge chunk of the military apparatchik in a single state or region.

In conclusion, this will solve most of Nigeria's problem like inter ethnic strife, militancy in the Niger-delta, secession agitation by the Biafrans and also engender economic prosperity and growth for the Nation.

Na oyel we de drink or na farm produce we dey eat.
Please keep destroying your land with your oyel. by the time hunger and frustration deal with you, you will know what we went
through in the hand of BH. I remember you guys say na north make them kill themselves ok NA ur turn. PLEASE DON'T STOP.

You guys are too ignorant for my liking, what gives Nigeria forex to import food if not oil? how much is a bag of rice today? many states are owing workers, even pure water is affected by hyperinflation caused by lack of forex, dont worry by the time naira gets to 500 to a dollar due to millitant attacks & force majoure by the IOC's your brain will reset. I pity buhari, he is relying on an army that was disgraced by a ragtag boko haram to destroy a well armed & environmentally aided militants with access to oil money & black market arms supply!! Your dullard of a hero will eat his vomit. The militants are like tsetse fly perched on the blokos of Nigeria........

Keneking:
This would not deter the government from not picking up their boss, Jonathan this month of May.Nothing is gonna stop that action .

Jonathan sef

Stop decieving yourself, Buhari is nothing but a piece of sh!t, by the time his dull brain understands what is happening, Nigeria's oil production would have been reduced to 200 barrels per day & hunger would become your surname.

Balkanization of this useless zoo is absolutely inevitable. I am ashamed of the green passport!!

1.BUDGET AND IDENTIFICATION; Land cost especially in Nigeria where we don’t have a culture of mortgage financing, can be very prohibitive, it now becomes paramount that one must have a budget that is in tandem to the land he or she wants to buy in a giving area eg it would be an error of judgement for someone with say one million naira seeking to buy land in high brow section of owerri town, such amount can buy land only in semi urban areas like Awaka, Emekuku etc.
2.CONTACTING AN AGENT; Step two should be done concurrently with step one, especially for one who is not on ground or conversant with with land cost in Owerri. The agent will give the person a price list of available lands in different parts of the city and the buyer will now choose according to his or her budget and what the land is intended to be used for, eg it might not be suitable to buy land that would be used for a private/family estate in a campus environment like Nekede/Iheagwa while land that is to be used for agriculture would be better in the rural or semi urban area.
3.INVOLVING A LEGAL PRACTITIONER; Irrespective of the extra cost, this is very important especially for “first time buyers” to consult a legal practitioner that would advise the buyer on the nitty-gritty like documents to be requested from the seller to show prove of ownership and also for the preparation of power of attorney that would be issued and signed on the day of payment.
4.PAYMENT OF “EGO OMENALA” (TRADITION MONEY) This money, usually 50,000 naira is paid to the seller when the buyer has come for inspection and is satisfied with the plot(s) of land. In the past, “ego omenala would be used to prepare a feast on the day the land would be sold. This money is also used as a collateral by the seller to reserve the land for the seller pending when everything would be finalized. This money is refundable if the transaction is terminated halfway.
5.PAYMENT FOR THE LAND; This would be agreed with the seller whether he wants it through transfer, cheque or “cash at hand” at the bank (this is advisable for security purpose) after which the documents would be signed in the presence of your lawyer and other witnesses.
6.SURVEY; This should be done immediately after payment and the amount though negotiable is usually around two hundred thousand naira.
7.ACTIVITY ON THE LAND; This could come in the form of clearing, dumping of sand and blocks, perimeter fence and gate, farming etc. This is important so that if the land is in contention in any way, it will become manifest at this stage when it would be easier to get hold of the seller and resolve issues or get a refund. Also it could act as caveat emptor to potential fraudsters.

google is your friend for the rest.

You guys are pathetic for trying to justify nonsense! Militants never killed, raped or kidnapped civilians, they engaged the armed forces in their struggle & many of them died likewise the armed forces!! Militants fought a just cause, dont compare them to boko haram barbarians that slauthered people for fun!! God will punish Buhari for this wickedness.

Rexnegro:
to term someone the word militants alone sef is a crime on its own.... just course or Not the fact still remain that amnesty was a mistake in The first place...You don't grant financial or whatever amnesty to militants or terrorists, You can pardon Them instead like a gov, CJ pardon a prisoners to go And sin no more...someone who's truly fighting for a just course will Not settle for anything else...so if You ask me both militants And boko deserves it, cos it was a mistake that has come to stay in The first place....

Smh @ U, militants were fighting because their land & rivers were polluted (a just course) & they did not kill civilians but boko haram were just killing, maiming & bombing people for fun!! In law & justice does a serial murderer & a sociopath get the same type of judgement?? Nigeria is worse than a zoo, this useless entity is a disgrace to the civilized world!!!

Flets:
All of these were predicted.

Nigeria never needed a high-handed dictator at this time. Nigeria needed a peaceful mind to help bridge the fault lines and restructure this nation towards true federalism.

Increased military/ police presence or force have never restored peace in the Niger Delta

Unfortunately, Nigeria is going to speedily head down-south towards anarchy until we all embrace true federalism.

Nothing more to add, true federalism & six regional structure or we perish!

@uduak2016, Igbos being together with their Ibiobio, Efik & Anang cousins in the same region would have been a great idea considering their cultural, physical, close afinity & other similarities but in the context of this regionalism, other parts of Nigeria will be afraid of such region because to them, it will be like a disguised Biafra. Edo should be aligned with the Yorubas, I dont understand the way they are running away from them as if they are ebola. This arrangement might be Nigeria's last saving grace against a looming balkanization. There could be a caveat whereby 50% of oil revenue goes to the producing regions while the other half goes to the centre. Nigeria will become prosperous & strong because infighting, sabotage, ethnic strife will be drastically reduced. The NW & NE will be free to have sharia & islam as they want. There will be healthy rivalry like in the 1950's & 60's. WE MUST ALL SUPPORT THIS PLAN TO SAVE NIGERIA FROM A NASTY BREAK-UP!!!

This well thought out plan, if actualized will effectively kill breakaway attempts by Igbos. 2ndly it will make Nigeria to become a strong & prosperous federation because pipeline bombing & militancy will stop. IPOB & massob will sheath their swords & protests. North will become productive through agriculture & solid minerals. East will unleash its industry & commerce. West will leverage on Lagos to become an economic powerhouse. Anybody who is against this plan is wicked & an enemy of progress. We must fight to actualize this great idea or else we all perish in the coming economic psunami.

LWKMD, where are the "there is a new sherif in town crew"? Una never see anything, some junkies were arguing that oil is no longer important, that it will finance only 13% of the budget, that we will diversify bla bla bla yet there is nothing on ground to support their argument. Agriculture is still at crude & subsistence level except efforts of some state governments like Anambra, Lagos & Ebonyi. Power supply is at all time low & firms running on generators. Fuel is scarce & very expensive yet some reta.rds are fooling themselves about imaginary diversification, chai if only wishes are horses beggars would ride! By the time the dullard completes 4 years on that seat, Nigeria be in coma.

Buhari is an unrepentant bigot, contesting with Igbo men does not mean he loves Igbos, if the constitution had allowed him, he most likely would have used El Rufai or anybody from Daura! 2nd Niger bridge is private sector financed!! While records show that the dullard executed more PTF projects in the North than anywhere else!!! Adeshina can do better than this infantile posers, he is not addressing !diots. The combo of a bigot & dullard is nothing but disaster.
