Secure the place first. Hold those who committed atrocities against the people liable. What if they return and are attacked again?


The senators should personally visit the place to make sure it is secure before asking them to return. This is what Leadership is about.

A coward dies many times before his death...

Ogbe-ni...you early said it was a fake news...now what?

See below.... the people in Niger state didn't escape to Benin republic, they didn't blame Buhari, they stood and fought.

If na Igbos now, una eye go dey red...any how...with una lame sophistication

This is beyond us but not beyond God therefore God will handle and deal with them like the days of pharoah.

I serve a living God.

God gave you brain to survive.

If you depend on him literally you will rot away in shame.

US, Britain, Israel, Italy are not depending on God, like you.

Even Saudi Arabia have been fighting the Yemen rebels...not God fighting for them.

It's only a coward like you that depend on God, literally.

Sunnycliff:
Railway is in fg exclusive list. You can't build it in the east without Abuja permission. There's a limit to what you can do

I know but the type of autonomy given to Hong Kong gives them right for most of the stuff in the exclusive list.

...bad things are happening in the north daily.

Bandits abduct 100 miners, kill 10 in Zamfara – Emir

https://dailypost.ng/2021/03/10/bandits-abduct-100-miners-kill-10-in-zamfara-emir/

So why are the security forces not containing this guys?

I pity the security forces, who are now trying to clean up the mess set by the evil politicians.

They have never been over stretched like this before.

This is the time for the SE governors to support ESN and manage them be setting guidelines.

For governor like Hope Uzodinma, the military cannot save you when they turn to you.

Use the case of Zamfara where the military has been, as a case study.

darkwan:
no chance....nigeria will rush anything you try....

did you watch that show of force in orlu with planes....??
nigeria needs a victory....they will not mind to use igbos as example....

If you can use planes in Orlu...why haven't you used it in Bornu to crush BokoH?

Are they not wanting a sharia country with no western education as the Biafrans want their freedom with western education?

You see you don't make any sense.

You are afraid of losing the great Igbos.

AlexBells:
Who cares about democracy once we Igbo province is strong enough, we don't care who rules Nigeria, we don't need their vote in AlaIgbo, so spare me that part, it is no longer relevant

We don't even mind being like Hong Kong in China...as long we are free to do our thing.

For example we can build our own standard gauge rail, unlike the one the FG is offering the SE, while the SW and the north has the modern system.

darkwan:
northerners still outnumber you mercilessly....

But northerners outnumber Boko thugs and foreign fulani herdsmen and you have not defeated them.

Thousands are being killed and kidnapped daily from Sokoto to Benue and Bornu to Niger.

darkwan:
northerners will keep on bankin on the mistake of few igbo officers back then....

Please check again...your comment is not related to post.

darkwan:
massob and ohaneze have already distanced themselves from ipob....

What is MASSOB?

darkwan:
i can explain it to you....

biafra are the only people that nigeria defeated clearly....
thats why nigeria will always rush una to prove that nigeria is worth something in this world....

russians are proud to have defeated germany,china is proud to have pushed back western colonization....

nigeria is proud to have defeated biafra without annialatin all igbos....

You are proud writing this rubbish from refugee IDP camp in Dahomey...even without war...

darkwan:
its not about hate....it was ipob that wanted to bank on this wound....

How?

What about MASSOB?

Ifesinachi22:
Do you know how Much Chime stole that Ugwuanyi covered for him?
Sullivan wanted to go to Senate and make Ugwuanyi the Governor. Ekweremadu and Sullivan are from the same zone, Sullivan wanted Ekweremadu to give up his seat and won't give him the Governorship ticket. President Jonathan came in and asked Sullivan to choose between installing a Governor and forgetting about his Senate ambition or going to the Senate and leave Ekweremadu to be Governor?

Sullivan chose to install Ugwuanyi and forfeit his Senate ambition in the hope that if Goodluck wins he will make him a minister.

Ugwuanyi is covering Sullivan's Nyash in Enugu

Just read what you have written...

Can you point at one major project done by the current governor other than the Opi-Nsukka road?

Chime did the Enugu- Opi road and so many projects in Enugu.

If you check the thread Enugu the pride of the east on Nairaland...it was growing every single day with projects, but as soon as this current government came in, the thread has stopped as there is no project to add.

How can he be covering Chime's nyash for 6 years?

Are you sure you are okay?

Coldie:
If I wasn't from the east I for no send if una want BIAFRA. But I no fit allow my state follow una to self destruction

From east kii you there.

You have never supported anything in the east.

How can you...one person, determine what will happen in your state?

HBB1:
...and you will do that in 20years?

If it is all by Patriotism, the story of the Balkans, Eritrea, Korea, the old USSR and several other places will be different.

If your leaders cannot manage the little they have, they will not manage the resources after secession.

I am not in anyway advocating for one Nigeria, I think it's farcical really.

Secession alone, however will not solve the problems.

Look around you, African countries have been warring to split up for ages, and the situation is worsening.

Leadership is the issue.

Autonomy will definitely improve the regions.

You can believe or leave it.

The Balkan and Soviet Union that give autonomy are doing well individually.

If central leadership can do it since 1914, then it can do it in another 100 years.

Coldie:
They are building Eastern rail line according to u narrow gauge rail that will only be used to transport goods.

It passes southsouth them no complain about the train, passes north central them no complain, passes north east them no complain.


But na only una want complain and u say una dae ok

So because they did complain, others shouldn't.

Why wasn't the one from SW one gauge to transport only goods?

You are smart by half.

Besides, at independence Nigeria was build based om tripod...North, West and East.

Igbos represent the east...and they deserve same as the North and West.

Get that into your cheating head.

Coldie:
I will stop the day u people develop sense

When you see these pictures you start having high blood pressure, because of your wickedness.

Coldie:
The important thing is that rails are been built, the President u people will vote for lobby him to build the type u want

Please stop this nonsense.

Why not treat every region equally?

You know this kind of maltreatment will cause agitation.

Very soon, you will begin to wonder why they hate Nigeria.

Won't you if you are from that part of the country?

Assuming you have 3 children and you bought the other 2 jeans+T shirts, but sow sokoto cloth from local tailor for the other.

Would you want same loyalty from all of them?

Nigeria is dying because majority of the people are like you.

tiredoflife:
lagos to ibadan to kano is standard gauge rail but The Eastern corridor is a narrow-gauge rail

make una continue

Anything that has to do with Igbo comes with a dismay.

Nobody hears anything about the Enugu airport that was partly commissioned, anymore.

Allow their wishes to go away, so they can build the rail system to their taste...they will refuse and ready to fight war.

Very soon people will be jumping up and down calling the people who complain, to be children of 8. lol

Basher8583:
All this noise is nothing if you cant show us you guys mean business by developing your States in SE.

You want to develop a country when you cant even develop a microcosm of a country: Your states.

They are developing the region by themselves since 1970 after the war, while the FG is helping you in the north.

You are ignorant of what is happening there.

These pics are development in the microcosm of the country.

Show any part of development in your part of the microcosm.

If only it is possible to give this man another 8 years...and I bet, you will never recognize Ebony again.

This type of leader is difficult to find in every generation.

Enugu had this in the former governor Sullivan Chime.

The current governor of Enugu state is busy building tiny roads in few places. No major projects.

BSdetector:
Well it depends on how you look at it, but in actuality they are just puppets to america, britian and France who are the real enemies.....SARS may oppress and shoot you but the british government donated in cash and arms for the formation of the unit. Trust me, if you hate the hausa and Yoruba man you should curse and despise the british and americans.

I don't hate anyone.

The elite and leadership are the problem.

It wasn't the average Hausa or Yoruba that stops the government from using a system that will be fair to all.

Let every region have their police and grow at their own pace.

I don't see why the north should implement sharia and hates the law banning open grazing from the south.

They have most of the land, why contest the sparse land of the south?

HBB1:
20 years?!

When your Governors are still robbing you blind?
You think it will stop after secession?

20 years to be top 10 economy in the world...
I like your optimism sha.

The governors will be answerable to the people. They won't have to run to Abuja to get help.

Mister..you don't know what patriotism can do.

Some people can bore tunnels for under ground train for free.

But even you can't do that for Nigeria, that is deeply divided along ethnic lines.

That's the fact and you know it.

BSdetector:
AJ, this guy, NOI, the assistant fed chairman and the likes are technically really not igbos or Yoruba's so apart from the chip it puts on the ego of unaccomplished tribal low life's these people are practically useless to either Yoruba's or igbos.....This Igbo navy man's loyalties lie with America and will do the bidding of uncle sam and will bomb nigeria if america instructs him to.......... you're practically celebrating one of your own who serves in a country that indirectly expliots Africa. It's good for the tribal pride tho.

Congrats to him.

You are funny.

Are the northerners not exploiting the southern Nigerians?

MrIcredible:
OSU amaka

Agreed...

But it's only a lun-tica who cry, weep and gnash his teeth begging Burutai to shot at sight as the OSUs want to leave and not contaminate you...

Heffalump:
Shut up! He is an American now!!

But AJ is not British now?

This is why Nigeria is a mosaic of tribes which would never agree on common thing.

By Bolaji Ogundele, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated, , Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) at Birkbeck University of London, Professor Kevin Ibeh, on his appointment as Commissioner of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the President noted the appointment is in recognition of his hard work, noting that his experience would come in useful in his new office.

“President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates Professor Kevin Ibeh, Professor of Marketing and International Business and Pro Vice-Chancellor (International) at Birkbeck, University of London, on his appointment as Commissioner of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission.

“President Buhari believes that the well-deserved appointment is an attestation of Prof Ibeh’s vast knowledge, hard work and experience, which have earned him respect in the academia.

“As a former Commonwealth Scholar, the President believes that Professor Ibeh will bring his in-depth knowledge and track record in international development and higher education to bear on his new position of responsibility.

“He is confident that the Nigerian-born scholar will bring fresh perspectives to his new position, joining other commissioners in promoting the objective of the Commission in ensuring opportunities for exceptional students and mid-career professionals to study in the United Kingdom,” the statement reads.

porthouse7:
Abeokuta alone 6 flyovers, Ogun state got more fly over than all eastern states dis is for record purpose

Nobody is counting number of flyovers, ogbe-ni.

What is contested is that he claimed that few vehicles used the road and so no need for the project.

How you weren't able to comprehend the article is a surprise.

I will suggest you do more on your education. lol

Oshigun:
Indeed. I actually pity Igbos because I realize they must be living in the most terrible mental prison to be doing this everyday relentlessly. I.e using everything they can, even very pathetic things, to try and get back at the Yorubas over a war they lost more than 50 years ago.

But it is more shame that you call out those who want to get at you, than those who are inflicting the maximum pain and humiliation upon you, 50 years ago and even today.

What do you think?

MrMaestro:
Its clear Igbos are still damaged with what happened in the civil war. Ultimate humiliation. They have Yorubas on their mind 24/7. It's really sad and pathetic. May God liberate them.

Enugu govt commences first flyover bridge project located at Nike Lake/T-Junction

*Closes road, midnight of Monday, March 8

*Announces five designated route diversions

The administration of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, has formally announced commencement of the first ever flyover bridge project by the state government, located at the intractable Abakpa Nike/Nike Lake/T-Junction road, in Enugu East Local Government Area of the state, on Tuesday, March 9, 2021.

Speaking when he inspected the project site’s readiness for work commencement, alongside the Commissioners for Works and Infrastructure and Housing, Engr. Greg Nnaji and Hon. Vitus Okechi respectively, the Commissioner for Information, Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh, maintained that the government’s order announcing a shutdown of the road by midnight of Monday, March 8, stands.

Aroh who revealed that he led a state government delegation to also inspect the construction yard of the company handling the flyover, IDC Construction Limited, said that all was now set for the commencement of the project in earnest. He added that the contractor assured that he would deliver the project before the end of 2021.

The Information Commissioner said the flyover project, when completed, would ease traffic gridlock in the area.

Also speaking, the Works Commissioner, Nnaji, stated that the contractor had been fully mobilized and was ready for the take-off of the project, pointing out that five roads have been designated for public use as diversions.

Engr. Nnaji who said that the five designated roads are being announced on air, listed them to include, Abakpa Nike Last Bus Stop-Oda Ngene- Umuchigbo-Nike Harmony Estate Adoration Road Junction; Bishop Shanahan- Ugbene 11-Ugbo Ndafe-Ama Owelle- Alulu-EELG HQ-Nkwor Nike Junction, and Emene-Adoration Ministries Pilgrimage Center- Harmony Estate- Umuchigbo bye-pass.

Others are Abakpa Nike Road-Liberty Junction- Ogwuagor- Uzo Aku Layout- Umuchigbo Harmony Estate Adoration Pilgrimage Centre, and Nike Lake Road- Ugwueke Junction- Igwe Edward Nnaji Palace- Enugu East Development Center-Amangwu Umuenwene - Oda Ngene- Umuchigbo Harmony Estate Adoration Pilgrimage Centre.

Gov. Ugwuanyi had inspected the designated road diversions to ensure their accessibility and readiness prior to closure of the Nike Lake/T-Junction road for construction work.

Clarifying further, the Information Commissioner, Aroh, noted that the state government has erected road signs and massive billboards to redirect motorists and road users accordingly, in the affected areas.

“Part of our responsibility is to once more inform the people that we are shutting down this road by 12 midnight; we have created five diversions; the announcements have been there in the radio; at the point of each diversion, we have put road signs; we are not stopping at that, we are going to put bigger billboards; we are going to ensure that our people don’t suffer too much while this massive work is going on,” Aroh said.

According to the Works Commissioner, “our responsibility in the next 48 hours is to ensure that work starts in earnest. Three links to T-Junction would be closed by 12 midnight today; part of why we are here is to see the preparedness of the contractor. Over there, you can see the concrete blockages, by tomorrow the actual setting out will begin.

“The five designated lanes for diversion are on air, we will all make sure that this big project is realized; Enugu people are waiting, the word is waiting, it is a state-of-the-art bridge and we can’t wait any longer to have it.

“The state government has been very proactive in planning for this construction; mid last year, we commissioned the first by-pass, Nike Road by-pass, it is in anticipation that we will do this project. From just after Nike Road, you head to Umuchigbo, Harmony Estate layout, Adoration Pilgrimage Centre and Orie Emene, it is one of the major roads that will take traffic, especially articulated vehicles. We advise all articulated vehicles to take that route.

“Then, if you are coming from NOWAS, get to Zenith Bank, UBA, you go left, then at a Roundabout, you turn and hit Dental Technology, then you tee off to Bishop Shanahan, that is on the lext axis, you now meet Ugbene 2, Ugbo Ndafe, then to Local Government Headquarters.

“If you are also coming from the Timber, very close to where we are now, we have recently put some culverts to ensure that people pass, in anticipation that this project will go through; when you pass through that place, you go through Igwe Edward Nnaji Palace, you now come to the Development Centre, you take the Old Road, and still hit Umuchigbo.

“If you are coming from Abakpa Nike, Nike Grammar School, you cross the bridge, you come to St. Theresa, you tee off to the right, to Ogwuago, from Ogwuago you go down to Ugwuaku Layout, you are at the same Nike Lake Harmony bypass.

“The collector road, the main road that takes all the traffic, it was our proactiveness to make sure that the road was done; you can now see the relevance, the vision of the Enugu State Government in doing things in order. That road was given a priority and it is now living up to expectations.

“We are appealing to our people to be patient with us; they should put enough care while passing through these roads; it is going to take some time but it is worth it.”

On his part, the project manager of IDC, Mr. Youssef Zghaib said the company was ready to hit the ground running, assuring that, “we were awarded this project with the duration of one year, but we promise to do our best to deliver within less than one year for sure.

“We don’t want to reach the deadline; with the promise that the funds are available, for sure we will try to deliver before the end of 2021, we deliver projects on time; we have the machines; what you see here is a very small sample of what you will see in the next two weeks.”

In a remark, the Chairman of Enugu East Local Government Area, Hon. Alex Ugwu commended Gov. Ugwuanyi for the landmark project, stressing: “Our able governor has done all the needful, the contractor will now go to the site, any structure he marks, we will inform the owner to remove it.”

Enugu State is in the hands of God!

Thank God.

This is what many people in the area have been hoping for.

At least this governor will have something to be remember with, when he completes his tenure.

johnmartus:
Enugu flyover? How many cars pass that road

We have always advised that you travel out of you hol* in Oshogbo...

Be man enough to go beyond Sagamu and you will see wonders...

For benefit of those who might be as gullible, less informed and utterly ignorant like you...that axis is the worse in traffic in the city.

Vehicular movement form the north, through Benue to the SS of Port harcourt come through Enugu using that road.

So, Johnmartus many vehicle pass that road...lol.
