all4naija: This your comment says it all. That is my stand on this matter as well, although, I haven't been to Eastern region before. Now that their claims have been proven wrong it means there is not argument, whatsoever, to say the images they have posted all along represent Igbo villages. The truth is that red mud houses can not be separated from African villages, even in South Africa that is way developed than Nigeria.

That being said, there is never a time when constant electricity has been recorded in Nigeria. Saying there is constant power supply in those Eastern counties villages is an absolute lie which even the most certainly (Americans)can disagree with.

I have had a lot of this kind of conversation with many individuals in this forum over stating things the way they are before. This particular one comes at a time when some individuals like to show off, they do that for the simple reason of self-aggrandizement and possible inferiority. I think most of them are deceived by their very belief on tribalism despite claiming to be all Nigerians. Many Nigerians are very puffy in nature. Indeed, that is not helping matters.

I think you are very smart and interesting to have chats with. I admire your explanation. It is very refreshing at the end to see an Igbo person telling it the way it is.

Thank you very much and I appreciate this your very contribution with all enthusiasm.

all4naija: Lol... Why is it hard to find mud houses in Anambra, an African all rather Nigerian county? There are red mud houses in every Nigerian village. The images on-line of a true Igbo villages are of red mud bricks. The problem is that you are confusing suburb for a village here, which is an error on your side.

Please, post an aerial view of those villages you claimed those buildings to be and list their names along them for us.

Thank you.

ballabriggs: Nonsense and useless thread.

Most of these houses are only occupied for less than 30 days in 365 days, what economic benefit?

Instead of focusing on how they will reclaim their lands from Ezeala stealing it via erosion, they are busy showing unoccupied houses.

Useless people, make dem dey build their nonsense dey go, anyi talaugba nwuo mmi, ndi agbagba na kuruma.

all4naija: Wow! Can you tell us something about the blood money?

Odenigbo Aroli: Guy,jilukwa nwayo oooo lol. Anyway,Oraukwu has money but don't forget Ihiala,Okija,Amichi,Oraifite and ofcourse Igwulube Okodu Nmili Manyuli Oku. There are too many rich town in Anambra and its difficult to say who is the richest but Nnewi and Awkaetiti stands out.

Nollywood actress turned Evangelist,Eucharia Anunobi,recently replied critics on her Facebook page.
She posted this on her Facebook page:

"I am first, an actor, before becoming an evangelist, which God has made me right now. Acting is and will continue to be my first ministry and I am not a former actress’.

She further stated, ‘I am still in the business of making movies, but making movies more, that encompasses the preaching of the Kingdom of God’.

The former Glamour Girl also used the opportunity to address her often-criticized dress sense. ‘I have just discovered recently that all people do these days is just to seat by my FACEBOOK TIMELINE, wait for me to upload my pictures and they start criticizing’.

Comment to 4th

Jarus: Stories of young and successful that interest me more are those that never had headstart in terms of being put there by their parents or so (e.g Paddy Adenuga, Kola Abiola, Ladi Balogun etc), but those who were just average Joes and rose to high positions at young age.

Look at:

Atedo Peterside, founded IBTC in 1989 at 32
Fola Adeola (at 35) and Tayo Aderinokun (at 34) founded what is GTB today
Herbert Wigwe and Aig-Imhoukhude, both left GTB at 34 years of age, to found Access Bank. When they left GTB, they can't be less than AGM. So AGM at 34 was an achievement on its own.
Tony Elumelu was in his early 30's when he co-founded STB and became CEO.
Jim Ovia was also in his 30's when he founded Zenith Bank.

All these guys (except Wigwe and Aig) founded these banks 1989-1990. Before that time, we had the old school banks (Union, First, Wema, Cooperative, Savannah, UBA etc), later dubbed First Generation Bank. These guys, most of whom, were working in these banks, probably thought there were more innovative ways of providing financial services than what these conservative First Generation banks were offering. That's an opportunity. Pronto, they explored it, and coupled with IBB's liberalization policy of the era, they established the banks. A couple by the old folks (Adekanye, Osayemah, Femi Ajayi, Duro Emmanuel etc) failed, but these young guys' became mega successful.

Atedo Peterside came back from LSE and realized merchant banking as was practiced in Nigeria was still crude. That's an opportunity. He floated Investment Banking and Trust Company (IBTC) in 1989, to do just one thing: investment banking. He made it.

I think it is about recognizing an untapped opportunity quickly and grabbing it.
