Classic Jonathan. Has his brain just finished loading?... When Obasanjo offered centuries ago to mediate in the crisis, what was his response?

GJ should send his lapdog, Asari Dokubo, afterall they're all Islamic Militants.

Jagaban!

ChimaAdeoye: aboki, why dont you show your Zamfara state road marking?
Afterall, you guys cheat and corner all the money in Nigeria. yet, the best you can do with it is sponsor terror and marry ugly women.
Incase you have forgotten, Enugu collects a tiny fraction of what Kaduna or even Jigawa collects. yeye dey smell... you Fulani people are all about cheating and corruption.

Inyamiri, did you forget something in Zamfara? I promise you, the last thing the Fulani lack are beautiful women. Ask around. Besides I've warned you, when it comes to roads, don't play near the north.

But seriously why would Enugu be earning so little from the FG, I think it's unfair considering the position it holds in the east.

laffytaffy1: Are you really from Zamfara ?

No I am not.

maestroferddi: Don't get carried away, remember that I am also watching or do you want another bloody nose...?

Another? Have you taken your medication this morning?

Mediocrity is where road markings are celebrated as achievements. Those are for safety and not 'driving pleasure' before you clear an innocent hawker while admiring zebra crossings.

You can't miss 1,5,7,8 and 14 in England if in the right circles. I thought I'd see "not paying for TV license" on the list.

On a more serious note, the day I found the store I could get Naija Small Stout is the day I stopped missing home.

maestroferddi: We shall see who will get emotional. I am sure you are still reeling from the supplied facts and the little knock that accompanied it.
BTW
Aboki in Nigerian parlance translates: a slow learner; a half-wit; an outmoded individual; a rustic; a niggardly person; an illiterate; a low IQ person.

You must be an aboki then. You sure don't wanna know what IYANMIRI means. Trust me.

IYANMIRI - Migrant Igbo Spare Parts Seller.

IYANMIRI (Nigerian Parlance) - Igbo/Granny Rapist_/Cannibal/Kidnapper/Vanquished/Drug Mule/One in town Baby Manufacturer

The question is did Nzeogwu and his colleagues not refer to Ironsi as an inefficient common clerk who cannot command a common funeral?

maestroferddi: [s]I see why they call people like you "aboki".
Gen. JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi: First African to command UN forces. This landmark was achieved in Katanga in the Congo. His military prowess earned him the moniker "Johnson Ironside".
Gen Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu: First indigenous graduate to enlist in the Nigeria Army. Trained in the prestigious Oxford University.
Aboki: Living as coward while Boko Haram is decimating his kinsfolk...[/s]

Don't get emotional. Those were not my words, but the words of your own Nzeogwu and I posted the link for you to check and confirm.

I also attached something to enlighten you.

Nzeogwu about Ironsi - " He joined the army as a tally clerk, and was a clerk most of the time

Capt. Ben Gbulie about Ironsi - "He was inept and inefficient - hardly the type of officer to command an army, in fact unfit to command even a funeral detail"

collynzov5: What vegetable are you talking about and what meat? Is it the same meat you cattle rearers cannot stay and produce in north?
Why not keep the cows there let us see how cows can produce meat from eating desert soils? What has Lagos not being landlocked got to do with the land mass?
The most developed state in the North is Kano and it also happens to be the smallest in terms of land mass, what is your excuse for that one?

Let me enlighten you...not all cows are fed by nomadic grazing. The nomadic grazing is a way of life of the nomadic fulani and not a necessity for animal husbandry. What is the source of your vegetables like tomatoes, onions, lettuce etc.? The coal mines?

The development and economic prosperity of Kano State started way before Jigawa, Gombe and Bauchi states were created from it, and indeed, before the birth of Nigeria.

lyntiffany: then you really don't know the state you went to and meanwhile am presently in Uyo pls which road is swept? are you talking about your streets that are not tarred which are filled with debris and mud water pls bros don't come up with trash cos I can count many I reside here in Uyo. Rubbish.

The last thing you can compare with the north is tarred streets. Don't even go there.

IGBOSON1: ^^^You actually know the origin of that word......or you don't care? Any reason why you should use a derisive word used by 'aboki soldiers' despite its inhuman origins?

I would expect an enlightened graduate southerner to be more circumspect with certain issues; and as for 'aboki soldiers'?......i've got low expectations of them!

Life is indeed full of irony, do you know the meaning...talk less of the origin of the word 'aboki'? I also would have expected an 'enlightened graduate southerner' to be familiar with the etymology of words he utters, especially in the course of chastising another person for the same oversight.

collynzov5: Does that stop the airport from fuctioning properly?
What have you done with your desert land up north since you claim to be a northerner?
Lagos is smaller than even the smallest South East state but it is still the most developed state in Nigeria and the location of most industries.
Use your brain more if you have one....

Why are you being emotional over simple observations? The 'desert' land up north is the one that feeds you with all the vegetable and meat from the scores of farms scattered over thousands of hectares of arable erosion-free fadama land. Besides Lagos, my friend, is not landlocked.

These peeps are really land-starved oh...airport gate to the tarmac is like 10 metres

Absolutely. The militants immediately became terrorists since MEND's Independence Day Bombing in Abuja killing dozens. There is no doubt boko haram and militant groups are a organized crime syndicate with political backing.

brownlords: Ashantiking, santaMaria, Oxygen, Wale and other gaynians, Oya come defend your poor country, before you spew trash please note your country's profile.

again.

Wow Dangote, a single Nigerian is worth almost twice Ghana's GDP

The Igbos really suffered in the war so you guys shouldn't be mocking them. Gowon had to declare no vanquished to end the terrible suffering that innocent women and children were under by the northern/sw forces.

Unemadu: How can u be this gullible.

okay Nigerians live in gutters.

I was wondering myself, but the boy seemed quite sure of himself...and the pictures I saw when I googled pictures of enugu were . However I hope he is wrong...let's wait for the pictures tmoro

MODS FRONTPAGE PLEASE. Obinoscopy please do the needful.

I don't see why the OP is being bullied for expressing his opinion and revealing the fat lie NL's have been fed with about enugu. I didn't expect the place to be as ramshackle and dirty as you described...wonders shall never end indeed.

Don't mind them. Yet they come here and call other regions backward. Empty chestbeaters.

Who says there's no fortune in misfortune?

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC]NafeesaAA: The Nigerian Bureau
of Statistics puts the percentage
of the southern population living
in absolute poverty at 61% and a
population of 64.9 million puts
the number of southerners
living in absolute poverty at
39,650,000 as at 2012. That is
about 40 million in the south
going to bed hungry this night.[/color] With the very link posted by a fellow porpagandist to buttress this claim we ironically found out that; [color=#1980BC] The NBS said that relative poverty was
most apparent in the north of the
country, with Sokoto state's poverty
rate
the highest at 86.4%.
In the north-west and north-east of
the
country poverty rates were recorded
at
77.7% and 76.3% respectively,
compared
to the south-west at 59.1%. [/color]....Thereby proving that nafessa's claim is false propaganda as there was no mention of 61% but 59.1 southern poverty and also an overwhelming rate of Northern poverty at an average of 80%-75% thus 8 out of 10 northerners are poor.....comprehendre?

Going by your post, 38 million poor people in the south, 6 out of 10 people, are in absolute poverty and going to bed hungry tonight (that is a massive poverty rate, like the rest of Nigeria). I don't understand how adding 8 out of 10 fellow Nigerians makes you feel any better .

Nobody is happy with the poverty rate of either region, we should strive to decimate it as much as possible, which is why we are highlighting the contribution of northern industrialists and entrepreneurs to job creation and poverty alleviation.

Anyway you are derailing the thread, please desist.

Abti-American University, Yola.

The American University of Nigeria opened its doors to its first students in 2005. Founded by the former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, it is located in north-eastern Nigeria in Yola, the state capital of Adamawa state, the vice president’s home town. Having benefited from the U.S. system of instruction as a young man, Abubakar sought to make this style of education — emphasizing critical thinking, small classes, student participation, problem-solving, a US-style general education program, and an American-trained faculty — available to all qualified young people of Nigeria and, increasingly, to the rest of the world.

Originally named the ABTI American University of Nigeria, the name was simplified to American University of Nigeria following discussions with American University in Washington, D.C. (which AUN exchanges students with). This puts it in conformity with practices of other American Universities outside of the United States, such as the American University of Beirut and the American University of Paris. AUN is the only such institution of higher learning in sub-Saharan Africa.

There have been three presidents in the first years of AUN’s development: Dr. David Huwiler, Dr. Michael Smith, and the current president, Dr. Margee Ensign. Dr. Ensign came to the post having served as dean of the School of International Studies at the University of the Pacific, where she was also the associate provost.

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC]To come up with this rubbish you skipped the text culled from the very resource link posted by your cohorts to potray that 60% of the poverty rate in Nigeria lies in the south....Read from the top of page 5 again.[/b] [/color]

Its no wonder you have been confusing yourself and trying to confuse the whole house, 60% poverty rate in the south and 60% poverty rate in Nigeria are two different things. Yet you call an almajiri illiterate

uzoexcel: nice pics u v been puttn up but unfortunately u shot urself in the foot.we are so used to mediocrity that we put up pics of bridges and roads as a sign of development...granted it is but u shouldnt put these up..Its your right as A nigerian...The money has always been there...no other developed country talks about good roads and all because it should be built and placed there by those in power by default.

I get your point but she was only contributing to the thread, which is commendable regardless. The intention is to highlight industry and not necessarily infrastructural development, which is no less worthy of celebration in its own right.

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC] Trash,bitter conjectures,without any official link whatsoever, from a propagandist bent on hoodwinking neutrals to the 'paradise' that is abound in the north… [/color]
