Amaechi2023:
[s] did I in anyway mention amaechi being Igbo in the article?
Why are you guys so bitter?
Instead of going back to the drawing board and bring back your political relevance when the opportunity presents itself it's bitterness you choose to display?.

FYI I'm a Nortgernern and I'm only making a positive suggestions to you igbos if you don't grab it's not my fault I won't be the one wailing.
Besides it's only those who love wailing that don't seem to like correction.
Ikwere that speaks Igbo are in no way related to igbos??
I weep for you folks in your poor political ideology.

The only reason I won't stop my positivity is cos I know there are still sane igbos out there..[/s]

Stop writing rubbish, if you like be from Chad, that's non of my business.

If you're on his payroll to market his candidacy, that's also non of my business. However, it becomes my business when you start associating that word Igbo with bulcrap.

Amaechi has every right to aspire to become the president of Nigeria like any other person but he should never associate it with Igbo presidency. It should never be on the same sentence!

Why didn't you write Ikwere voting Amaechi a win win"?

You guys should stop this nonsense forthwith, Amaechi and Igbo presidency is not mutually inclusive. We see Amaechi ambition the same way we see Tinubu ambition and both of them have nothing to do with Igbos.

sesan85:
They're killing and abducting your people and this is all you could write? But what about IPOB's Biafra military? Lol. Chest-beating cowards!

Boundary crises is a common phenomena across Nigeria. Similar incident happened in Abia/Akwa Ibom boundary and some Akwa Ibom people got killed and they were lamenting.

The onus is on the boundary commission to demarcate the boundaries accordingly. Tomorrow you will hear that the same community that is victim today has retaliated and the circle continues.

Life has become so cheap in Nigeria due to criminal government neglect.

Amaechi2023:
[s]2023 is around the corner and we all know permutations are ongoing.

Not surprisingly, Amaechi seems to be on the presidential spotlight more often run recent times.

While his ambition is a welcome development to some, others are having a diverse view and reluctantly kicking against his ambition.



Amaechi no matter what can never be completely rejected by the igbos. He's partly Igbo by ethnicity hence no matter the political sentiment driving the igbos politically, A great number would still go back to the drawing board.



Now let's analyse Amaechi chances and the igbos support.



What the igbos stand to lose not voting Amaechi.



Amaechi is originally ikwere by tribe, the ikwere are partly or highly related to the igbos. They speak same language.

Igbos not voting Amaechi would be the worst form of political foolishness and betrayal. They'l lose their trust and respect completely from other southern tribes, The North would see them as fools and would withdraw any form of political negotiation in the future, lastly their greatest enemy Yorubas would laught at them thereby having greater chance amongst other southern region politically. the South East and South south has always faired in similar position except for Edo in the South south. Igbos not voting Amaechi would completely ruin the little strenght both region has built together making them both vulnerable to their political enemies.



What they stand to gain.

Well political interest only becomes a fierce battle amongst tribes and region when there's a failed leadership. When things are fairing better, people would focus more on good leadership.

Amaechi with his track records has proven to be very resourceful from his reing as Governor of rivers state to him being a minister. There has been positive results.

Igbos supporting such a resourceful candidate would be a good sell out to their identity. The masses would fall back to the drawing board on how political sentiment had failed them in the past and start thinking progressively towards the political positivity of the igbos.

So far the igbos has managed to produce the best and hardworking governors compared to other region which is a political plus to their reputation.

Voting Amaechi would bring the igbos closer to the helm of politics hence giving them the chance to show their industrious and hardworking nature,

A vote for Amaechi is most likely to unite the North and the South East for the first time in Nigeria politics thereby creating a more united Nigeria.



God bless Nigeria.[/s]

RUBBISH OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!

When did Amaechi become Igbo? So he is no longer belong to Ikwerre ethnic nationality?

Does it mean that you guys are so inconsequential and insignificant that you can't stand on your own? Why must you attach to Igbos to be noticed?

FYI, Igbos have nothing in common with Ikwerre, and is high time you guys stop this idiocy of forcing Amaechi on us.

Lol, it really sucks to be minute minority otherwise why can't these people suffering from identity crises push for Ikwerre presidency same way Igbos are pushing for Igbo presidency!?

This is 2020 and Igbos will no longer tolerate nonsense.

Now imagine this!? The other time one bingo from Akwa Ibom was saying that Igbos are the aggressors trying to take their lands while killing them. What do we call this one now?

IkwerrePikin:
Let me Educate you because the problem with the Igbo youths today is that, your parents don’t tell you people the truth about Ikwerre people.

Ikwerre people don’t use the word “Umu” meaning children like the igbos.

When we speak, we use “Rumu” while some part of Ikwerre use “Omu” which is derived from Benin “Omo” meaning children. So how can we call a child “Rumu” and our community name is “Umu”??

Igbos who were in charge of Igbo Dominated Eastern region govt changed those names on paper to “Umu” but when we speak we use “Rumu”.

During Biafra war Igbos fled Port harcourt because they don’t belong there (if ikwerre was igbo why run away from PH during the war? Did you also run away Aba to Owerri? NO). The influence of the Igbos was no longer there and Ikwerre made efforts to change those communities names to it’s original names from “Umu” to “Rumu” on documents because when we speak we use “Rumu” and not “Umu”

Secondly read the writing on the screenshot! It was an igbo man President of Ohanaze who said it.
I told you, Igbos need to beg Ikwerre for forgiveness, you people are just hating for nothing, hating foolishly.

You igbos dominated Eastern region, change our community names and even introduce igbo language in schools in Ikwerre land. Ikwerre population is not as much as the igbos who came originally as laborers which we accept, turned against us to dominate and take over our land. But God did not allow that.

Ikwerre people fought for the creation of Old Rivers State from Igbo dominated Eastern region for the minority tribes of Eastern Region. When Yakubu Gowon finally listen to the cry of Ikwerre people and other minorities in Eastern region and created Rivers state in 1966. Few months later, Ojukwu declared Biafra (1967) and forcefully included same Old Rivers state which the Ikwerre people and other minority tribes in South South today fought for back to Eastern region which is Biafra.

We Ikwerre people, Ijaw, calabar, ogoni, ibibio and others in the South South who were happy with the creation of Old Rivers state from Eastern region which created jobs and opportunities for us, were shock with our inclusion in Biafra were we suffered igbo domination, we came together and rejected Igbo Biafra because we already experienced Leadership with the Igbos in Eastern region govt where igbos took over job opportunities, dominated the Eastern region assembly, and controlled everything in Port Harcourt which was and is still the most developed city in Niger delta today.

You see what your parents don’t tell you? I told you, Igbos need to beg Ikwerre for forgiveness, you people are just hating for nothing, hating foolishly out of pride because you think you are more than us in number lol

What did Ikwerre do to Igbo Name one?? Nothing! But You’re just foolishly hating the good people of Ikwerre. Whether it’s jealousy or inferiority complex disturbing you people I don’t know.


We Ikwerre people and other Niger delta ethnic groups have moved on, but we can not join you in Biafra, how many times will something happen to you before you get sense?? Anyone saying Ikwerre and other Niger delta at large will join Biafra are fooling themselves, they don’t know history. Lol

chrisxxx

Bla bla bla, yet you couldn't answer my questions. I asked you to tell me where or when Igbos or the Eastern regional government changed the names of Ikwerre communities as you alleged but you couldn't. All you said was that you people use the term Rumu. Do you even know almost every part of Igboland has there own dialect and it's not unique to Ikwerre?

You claimed that Igbos ran away when Nigerian army came arrived P.H and that shows Ikwerre is not Igbo for not running away? Lol, what a lame talk! When the Nigerian army arrived Asaba, some of the locals there ran across the Niger while others stayed behind and Murtala Mohammed ordered the massacre of their men for working with Biafra.

At some points during the war, Onitsha, Aba, Owerri etc fell into the hands of Nigerian army and many of the locals ran away too while some stayed behind for one reason or another. Does that then mean the locals who ran away weren't from there? You see how thoughtless your logic is?

You said Igbos are hating on Ikwerre out of inferiority complex or jealousy. Dude, are you kidding me?? What does Ikwerre worth in terms of human or natural resources that would make the greater Igbo nation jealous? A small enclave like Ikwerre I find it so ridiculous when you guys overestimate yourselves.

I have asked you, what exactly does Ikwerre have that will make Igbos jealous? Igbos that are a globally recognized ethnic group, famous in many areas of endeavor against Ikwerre that are not even known in the North talk more of outside Nigeria?

If it is access to the sea, Ikwerre lacks that because non of your communities border the Atlantic ocean. Likewise, your communities are not nearer to the sea in nautical miles than Southern parts of Abia state.

Your communities does not have more oil and gas than other proud Igbo communities like Asa/Ndoki, so what is it you guys have that Igbos lack?

Stop decieving yourself, Igbos were only trying to identify with Ikwerres the same way we tried to identify with other Igbos in far flung places such as Delta, Edo, Benue etc. It was purely based on brotherhood spirit of onyeahala nwanne ya. However, since you guys have claimed not to be Igbo, then you're free to stay alone and Igbos won't miss you guys one bit.

If the entire strech of Rivers State is owned by Ikwerres then all the noise would have been worth it but you can't even lay claim to P.H independently talk more of the entire state, so what's all the fuss about a tiny area?

Anyone with an above average IQ knows that Nigeria will break someday. Then I will love to see how you fair against the Ijaws

God bless the Asa/Ndoki people in Rivers and Abia states who wear their Igbo tag like a batch of honour. The Igbo nation with its 40 million strong people will always be there for them anytime and any day while we will watch with relish as Ijaws bring you to your knees just like in the old Rivers State.

In the mean time, stop mentioning Amaechi and Igbo presidency in the same sentence. Only you, in one breath you're claiming Ikwerre is an ethnic nationality, in another breath you're saying he should be voted as Igbo president, what sort of madness is that?

Be proud to push for Ikwerre presidency with Amaechi as your representative, same way Igbos are pushing for Igbo presidency or do you consider Ikwerre to be too negligible??

THE JOKE IS ON YOU!!

Whiteangel1234:
Nairaland and social media is faceless groups . so you cannot start acting based on what you read here

Is Amaechi the only person contesting?
What interest do you have in his candidacy?
Why are you not using the same energy to advocate for Ogbonnaya Onu, Orji Uzor Kalu, Ngige or Nnamani if at all your interest is to push for Igbo candidates in APC?

Why would you be the one to the hatchet job when there are Ikwerre people who should be doing that or is Amaechi paying you?

Stop crying more than the bereaved my brother, it just doesn't make sense.

At op, what exactly is the essence of this thread?
To me, this thread is useless as the P in psychology.

A group of people suffering from identity crises have told you time and time again that they are not Igbos yet you're here unabashedly advocating for them?

Who told you that they don't have people in Nairaland? Who told you they're not the ones making all those anti-Igbo posts? How many of them have come out to counter such provocative posts?

You're the type that keep bringing embarrassment to Igbos by making an inconsequential gruop to feel they are so important.

Most of the upland oil and gas resources in Rivers State lies in Asa/ Ndoki Igboid areas and they identify as Igbos because they are proud of their heritage unlike Ikwerre.

Ikwerre areas of P.H does not have direct access to the Atlantic ocean and neither is it closer by nautical miles than Southern parts Abia state. So what gives you the impression that Igbos need Ikwerre more than Ikwerre needs them?

Like I said earlier, a day of reckoning is coming for you guys and Igbos won't forget.

ludd2018:
Yorubas love to divide brothers while as others dont divide yorubas too bad .

Amachi himself in a video interview confirmed he is IGBO . Nigeria system is too bad and deceptive

Amaechi can't outsmart 40 million Igbos. We are more intelligent than him. Creating a useless video he aims to use in decieving gullible people won't fly. At what point did he realize he is Igbo?

However, if he believes he is now Igbo and not belonging to a certain Ikwerre ethnic nationality that see Igbos as enemy foriegn Invaders that have oppressed them throughout history until now they are fighting back. Then he should do the needful by going to that group they call Ogbakor Ikwerre as an influential member and call them to order. While doing that, he should pay for adverts on national newspapers expressing his Igboness and call out those trying to divide them to order. He should also meet with Ohanaeze alongside members of Ogbakor Ikwerre to liase as a subgroup under the Ohanaeze umbrella, and it should be highly publicized.

Failure to do these things means he is trying to be smart by half.

YOU CAN'T BE IKWERRE BY DAY AND IGBO AT NIGHT!!

IkwerrePikin:
Mr man you write up is baseless. You’re just jumping from pilar to post.

Simple question: where is the lie in what i said about what Igbo did to ikwerre during Eastern region and Biafran war? You can’t answer. Lol

If you don’t know history why argue? Your igbo people changed our community names in Igbo dominated Eastern region govt in an attempt to eradicate the ikwerres, you Igbos killed a lot of ikwerre people who rejected Biafra.

Your parents will not tell you this but they hate truth like you do.

Are you a kid or you're just plain daft? Honest to God, most of you from that place have a very messed up thought process and it's quite disgusting to say the least.

Now, I will give you the benefit of the doubt that I'm discussing with someone who is sane by asking you some critical questions and I want you to answer me explicitly.

At what point/year did Igbos or the Eastern regional government change the names of communities in P.H into Igbo names? Please answer this regardless of how warped and unreasonable this your assertion is?

Did Igbos or the Eastern regional government also change names of communities in other Igboid areas such as Asa, Ndoki, Etche etc. or it was just Ikwerre areas that was renamed?

What was the names of those places such as Umuomasi, Umuokwuta, Umuokurushi etc. before the Eastern regional government renamed them as you claimed?

Why didn't you guys reverse the names to their original names prior to its change by the Eastern regional government as you claimed instead of allowing your Ijaw masters to put the R prefix on them?


Any sane person who is educated knows that names of communities, especially areas that have indigenous population can't be changed. What government can change is names of streets or roads.

For instance, in Owerri, we have areas like Umuoyima, Umuororonjo etc.

In Aba, we have Umungasi, Umule etc.

In Igbo language Umu means children and thus Umuoyima means children of Oyima, Umuomasi means children of Omasi and so on. So are you saying that Eastern regional government fabricated a non-existent Umasi or Okurushi in Ikwerre land that never existed?

Please answer these questions so I can decipher the extent of the damage to your mental faculties.

DiagnoPolitics:
The idiotic Ikwerrepikin thinks he is wise. He just exhibited a known quality of a typical yoruba man- approbating and reprobating on the same issue while pretending that he is not trying to fo0l himself. Evil!

This is exactly how the yorubas dribbled themselves till they got stuck and their 2023 dreams facing termination. They pretend to be bird and butterfly on when it suits them.

We don't care where he comes from. So far he claims to be Ikwerrepikin, and is speaking for them without any of them condemning him, then he is speaking their mind.

They are too negligible and small to be an issue for Igbos. Amaechi's ambition is dead on arrival. By the time we turn our radar on him, he will have no hiding place and his two local government tribe can't save him.

Pathetic fools!

IkwerrePikin:
You’re just making noise. You igbos will vote for Amaechi massively compare to Yoruba or North. Stop fooling yourself here.

Lol, you can continue to bask in your delusions of grandeur. Ask yourself, what business does Igbos have with Amaechi or even Ikwerre? How will Amaechi becoming a president be in our interest when he is from Ikwerre, an Igbophobic tribe?

IkwerrePikin:
Point out the Igbophobia in what i said?? If you can’t proof me wrong why not shut up? Is there anything i said that is a lie and if there is why not point it out?? The truth is killing you, i hope you survive it because you kill yourselves one day with Ikwerre matter

What truth are you talking about? Dude don't try to shift from your earlier position and play the victim card here because it's not going to work. Ikwerres have talking trash against Igbos and you think we haven't been taking notice of it?

I really pity you all because the world have really changed a lot from how it used to be. Millions of people can now be influenced through the social media alone and if you notice, you know that Igbos have the largest presence on social media. By the time we Igbos finally establish a consensus on you guys there won't be any going back. Just watch and see.

Amaechi is too small for the Igbos to reduce to nothing.

FYI, Igbos have no business with Amaechi. He belongs to a two local government tribe called Ikwerre. Igbos will rather vote for any other candidate even if he comes from the North than a character like Amaechi. If we want to vote for Igbos in the Niger Delta, then it has to be those in Delta North or other Igbos in Rivers because we have nothing in common with Ikwerre.

You guys are like the proverbial butterfly that thinks it's a bird.

Amaechi is a clown, he does not have the capacity to be a president, so he should stop decieving himself. He is now working over time paying people to launder his image but it's all efforts in futility. He even begged one Igbo man to counter Joe Igbokwe who called him out, and tried to make it look like Igbos are ready to defend him. Nonsense! Perception is everything today because opinions are largely moulded in the social media and people like Tinubu have control of a section of the media and a large ethnic group that is ready to counter negative slurs against him. Now, ask yourself who can defend Amaechi if his image is attacked like that of Tinubu? If Amaechi foolishly attracts the anger of the Igbo nation then he is gone for good. Yorubas will never defend him! Northerners will never defend him! Even the Ijaws that are far larger than the Ikwerres couldn't defend GEJ when other Nigerians turned the heat on him and he had to rely on Igbo support to avoid being totally disgraced out of office. Imagine what will happen to someone like Amaechi with a two local government tribe backing him.

If you are on his payroll then he should as a matter of urgency relieve you of that role because you're setting him up for disgrace.

I laugh at you Ikwerre people, now is the time of reckoning.

IkwerrePikin:
[s]
You igbos and tribal politics of hate! That is why you people will also be backward.

Ikwerre man as President, you igbos will benefit. You igbos are the ones hating Ikwerre unnecessary, people who are not bordered about you and have declared they trace their origin to Benin. But yet you igbos keep stressing yourself and pressuring the ikwerre calling them igbos and biafra on news papers and social media, I don’t know your problem. It will be difficult for Igbo to be President now because Nigerians will not vote you. Only Igbo can not vote itself into power. You hate us when we tell you the truth.

What has the Ikwerre done to Igbo??

Igbo man Answers: they say there are not igbos or Biafra that’s why we hate them! For real??

What did Igbo do to Ikwerre??

Ikwerre man: Igbos declared our land Biafra and killed our people who were against Biafra. Igbo don’t respect our history which our ancestors come from Benin, they claim we igbos even when we Ikwerre call them “Isoma” meaning “slaves/laborers” in ikweree land. Because they are not our brothers, they are slaves/laborers who migrated to Port harcourt and we used them to work our farms before their population increased and Nigeria govt put us under Eastern region dominated by the Igbos which the igbos were in charge and use the opportunity to rename Ikwerre communities, ensuring that the Ikwerre history and it’s people are replaced with Igbo dominated migrants in Port harcourt.

But during Biafra war, they all ran back to Igbo land. How can you run away from your land if Ikwerre was igbo? Did you also run away from abia state to Imo state during the war like you ran away from Ikwerre land??

When they came back their properties have been declared abandoned by the Nigeria govt, while Ikwerre people changed their community names back to original Ikwerre names.

The igbos go all over Wikipedia to write Ikwerre as Igbo. We laugh at them because they are fooling themselves and those rubbish they are writing about ikwerre and other South South tribes as Igbo does not change who we truly are!

Conclusion: Igbos killing themselves with sleepless night about the Ikwerre who do not care but rather are making effort to connect more with the great Benin Kingdom as we recently welcomed the Oba of Benin to Port harcourt in his effort to unite Benin descendants!
[/s]

Trash.

Ikwerre is too little to stand toe-to-toe with the Igbo nation. I'm sorry for you if truly you're Ikwerre and you're opening your guts to say trash against Igbos. Being in joint ownership of P.H with the Ijaws doesn't mean sh!t because there is nothing in the town that one can lose sleep over. The day Igbos will turn against you in P.H is the day you will understand that Ikwerre is a minute group. You're using Igbo population in Rivers State to dominate others yet you turn around to bite the fingers that fed you. Continue, a day of reckoning is coming for you all and you will be like in the old Rivers when the Ijaws dehumanized you all. You think you can join others to practice Igbophobia without thinking about your own fate, lol the joke is on you.

IkwerrePikin:
[s]Let me tell you, in Nigeria politics tribe or ethnicity is not always considered by political parties if it would not benefit them!

There is a clamor for Southern/Igbo presidency, but an Igbo presidential candidate irrespective of the political part in today’s Nigeria with series of Biafran threat to break out of Nigeria, it would be difficult for Nigerians to support an Igbo man, because tomorrow another region will come with it’s own threat to break out if not given the presidential ticket.

Why North Will Choose Amaechi:

With the clamor for Igbo/Southern presidency, the north may consider to support Rotimi Amaechi whom they trust more from the Ikwerre ethnic group in Rivers state who are more pro Nigeria than the Igbos even though the Ikwerre people have made it clear right from time that they are not Igbos but rather Ikwerre who trace their ancestors to the Great Benin Kingdom (Oba of Benin confirmed this on his visit to PH, R/S), though some Igbo people have always confronted the Ikwerres claiming they are igbos due to the similarities in names and language with the Ikwerre people.

1. Rotimi Amaechi who have claimed in several occasions to be an Igbo man is so loved by Buhari and trusted to the point of appointing him minister In one of the biggest ministry twice even with the confrontation from the senate and other groups.

2. Rotimi Amaechi who is more pro Nigeria is seen as an Igbo man by the Igbos including the popular IPOB group, with this if he is supported by the North with his Igbo wife from Abia state, Rotimi Amaechi will be able to win majority votes from the South East hereby getting APC into the South East. Don’t forget that with Rotimi Amaechi and his yoruba-igbo name signifies a Southern Unity and he is likely to win majority vote from the South East, South South and also from the South West as he would be more accepted and trusted than an Igbo candidate from South East due to the Biafra threat to Nigeria today.

3. Rotimi Amaechi has a great record and experience as former Speaker, Governor, Chairman Nigerian governors forum, Minister twice with great record of managing the campaign train as director general that brought the opposition party Apc to power.

4. If Apc wants to retain power as it moves to the Southern part, it must present a candidate that would be accepted across the South, with a VP from the North with help from Buhari and top Northern politicans Apc will be able to win 2023 presidency.

5. With power moving to the South, there is no APC politician from the South than can stand Rotimi Amaechi, in terms of popularity and with the number of political positions and experience Amaechi has achieved over the years. Rotimi Amaechi is popularly know to have never lost a political battle before in his political carrier.

Some igbos man say he is Ikwerre and not Igbo and can never claim Igbo just because he wants to be president so they will not support him, but let me tell you majority of Igbos out there with that name “Amaechi” on a campaign postal will gladly support him more than an Atiku or anyone else who is also not Igbo.

I see Amaechi 2023...Who do you see and why??[/s]

Comedians everywhere.

You're the comedian here. You won't be arguing with him if you have been to Abakilike in recent times. Abakilike has made giant strides that state capitals that were even created before them can only dream of. And mind you, it's not flyovers alone because it cuts across several sectors.

If you want to make comparative analysis, you can compare the infrastructure on ground in Abakilike against what you have in Oshogbo, Ado Ekiti or even Akure. The problem with you guys is that you hardly travel outside your village and if you mistakenly get to Lagos, you feel that's where the whole world ends.

RuddyFusion:
You're making a suggestion without putting thousands of traders there into consideration. if I'm to go with your DEMOLITION where will there stay in the interim? i didn't see that part

To me to best option is

- Build and relocate
- Or expand and move the bad part of the market to the new location because i don't belive that the whole market is bad

The demolition will be done in tranches. For instance, there are many sections of Ariaria that are still underutilized and lots of shops that are unoccupied. So, what the government needs to do is to map out a section, give the traders there a grace period to relocate to unoccupied sections. During the time of the grace period, every other logistics would be concluded and once the deadline ellapses, they will demolish it and build a mall there. Once that mall is completed they will go to another section of the market and ask them to relocate to the mall, after they relocate, that section too will be demolished and so on.

Alternatively, the government can use Greenfield areas around Osisioma. However, it is very crucial to build them in areas that are easily accessible from the main town and close to the express.

Ask yourself: Is Ikpeazu in Control?

You don't seem to understand how this works...
Once FAAC comes in....the money is shared right there from Abuja before it even gets to Umuahia. They give it to 5 or 6 people, he collects his own share, and the rest of the State can die off for all he cares.

From the first moment I saw him in 2014, he doesn't look to me like someone who will challenge the establishment.

Let him just do-and-go, let's know what to do about 2023.

As the governor of the state, the buck still ends on his table whether he is in control or not.

Abia has been battling with very selfish and wicked politicians since 1999. Very primitive minded men that are only concerned about their pockets.

The people of the state have accepted mediocrity as the new normal and we need to be bringing it to their consciousness that there is nothing normal with all these madness.

woky:
I tot Ikpeazu would be the Messiah since he's from ngwa, but the guy is just another big flop

The dude is a big disappointed. They will travel abroad, visiting places like Dubai and seeing how people like them who were able to think outside the box, developed their cities yet they will return and do nothing.

I don't know if it's mental laziness, irresponsibility , corruption or just wickedness that is making them to behave this way.

This is terrible.

There isn't any such thing there oga
Silly chestbeaters

Did you read it? I guess you didn't because if you did you won't continue arguing. Be that as it may, you can turn a blind eye on that particular statement if it makes you insecure.

I won't talk about it again to avoid derailing from the topic.

check the report.

https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/notes-from-atlanta/no-us-study-ever-said-igbos-are-the-most-brilliant-black-african-race/143684.html

and this was your initial statement

Semantics! Is there really any difference? The article was specific in narrowing it down to intelligence while I used the word advanced. There are also other articles that may have used 'advanced' but it still boils down to semantics.

helinues:
Instead of demolishing, can't they renovate and educate the market people of the important of been in an hygenic environment..

Renovation won't serve the purpose of radically changing Ariaria and other markets in Aba. They need to be totally replaced with modern large malls.

You can read the article to understand the reasons why. It seems you read only the headline.

BeLookingIDIOT:
I stopped reading at "Igbos have been classified as being among the world's 5 most advanced ethnicities...."
Who classified who ....This people and chestbeating

I don't know why you guys always feel insecure when some spectacular facts about Igbos are highlighted.

Now, check this link https://www.africanevents.com/the-most-brilliant-black-african-race-facts-and-figures-from-the-us-academic-report/

There are several other such links too but like I said, this is not a dick measuring exercise please!

Why don't you vote them out??
why allowing them 2nd tenure?

all this you're doing is, "all talk, no action".

The terrible Nigerian system is what makes such mediocre governors to emerge. Most times is not who the people wants that end up emerging as governors. Imo state is a very good example.

If Dave Umahi were the Governor of Abia state, Lagos will bleed!

All the past and present governors of the state should cover their faces in shame for failing to lift Aba to greater heights.

The state has really suffered in the hands of mediocres who paraded as governors.

Aba town is a glorified village. One investor came from Delta state to build an ultramodern mega mall there but the traders preferred to remain in the filth and squalor that is Ariaria.

No, I beg to differ on your assertion that Aba is a glorified village. Naturally, people tend to resist change but it comes with momentary inconvenience. However, the onus lies with the government to provide leadership.

The blame lies squaly with the state government.
