I will tell you with 100% certainty except for Festac Town and Abuja, no place in Nigeria was ever planned from scratch
Aba, Onistsha have no plan from beginning
Even London Rome and many Europeans cities never had plan, development later on brought planning to all these cities

I think you are wrong here.

Aba main town was very planned. In fact the length and breadth of the roads and streets are pretty much the same in the main town in a grid pattern. If we had things like fire hydrants and underground water systems, it would be easy to standardize equipments.

Unfortunately as the city grew the rest of the areas were not planned and became chaotic. And that was before the governments of the state let the city completely decay

Pierocash:
You think if not for Peter Obi's signature on labour party,Alex Otti would have won should he contested under another party?

Please recognize those whose ladder and fame you used to climb to success

Otti actually won under APGA platform. Overwhelmingly too but after 15 of the 17 local governments showed him winning a landslide PDP manufactured 82,000 fake votes in Obingwa and 47,000 fake votes in Osisioma to overturn the landslide victory he had won from Abia voters

Ekeeyhandsome:
I remember when I still dey naija, Alex was every Aba person's choice ,but it baffles us how he ended up losing nd losing in every election.. I hope he wins this time around, he's the best man for Aba,

ikepazu failed Aba ppl, even though he claimed to be an Aba brought up, but he messed up the whole Aba, destroyed Osusu rd nd people's houses all in the name of expanding the road, yet he failed to work on the roads.

Otti won in 2015 and 2019 too. He was rigged out both times. The one from 2015 was all so obvious because they brought Obingwa last after they saw the margin Otti was leading by and manufactured 82,000 fake votes

The PDP government is already rigging the election after losing a landslide and must be resisted. Anything not from BVAS cannot be part of the final result

OfficialAPCNig:
Aba to PH expressway is a federal road, and its at the outskirt of the city. From owerrinta to Aba is in a better shape.

Anyway, enter inside Aba city and tell me a non-state-capital city in the whole country outside Lagos that is more developed than Aba.

I'll wait

PDP has destroyed Abia state with criminal impunity.

Any plan to rig tomorrow will fail since they won’t get much votes. LP is going to run away with the election

Why do some people keep claiming that Abia people voted for Ikpeazu twice?

Abia people never ever voted for Ikpeazu. He was massively voted against but they rigged him in at the last minute through violent threats by TA Orji and Co who forcefully invaded INEC to force him to be declared governor.

I thought this was common knowledge

Abia is the most likely state. Infact it’s 100% if the actual polling results are announced and not tampered with.

Dubaku543:
I don't accept the fact you claimed they are violent.
Keke riders that put up Biafra flags on their Keke did they harm any body?

People that were twitting online about Biafra did they harm anybody before the government banned them?
Your submission holds no water based on this dispensation. I have clips of successful non violent Biafra protests that are predated.

To cut the story short. If you are tired of all these happenings, let the government call for a referendum. Most of these gory stuffs will die a natural death.

You are deluded if you think they will ever get a referendum for any Biafra. Igbo people will keep getting killed until Igbos decide to revolt against their oppressors pretending to be liberators.

Igbo land is gone to waste due to a phantom delusion about “referendum”.

fastseo:
In the south east here in aba, most local government aren't open for registration they said they operate just Friday which is once in a week.

Make this public info on Twitter quickly and contact some celebs to help address this.

Promzwealth:
I didn’t relocate ….
I stayed back here in Aba, after much consideration

If Abia gets a good governor and removes PDP Aba has much more potential than Uyo

Mods front page please

Greatest club side in the world!

If Abia state gets Otti as Governor maybe this thread would finally explode into life.

Right now it’s a joke of a thread

DOTian:
Sit at home continues till Nnamdi Kanu is released!
Biafrans should escalate things rather than deescalate!!
This country is not a maximum security prison for the igbos! Nnamdi Azikiwe and co represented the Eastern Nigeria during the independence conferences that heralded the emergence of Nigeria as a country. Agreements were signed as to how the country will be run. We stand on those agreements.

Those who have turned the country into a conduit pipe for funneling African resources to the West are the ones desperate to keep the country one irrespective of the wishes and aspirations of the constituent units!
Just as the Igbos willingly signed on One Nigeria before independence during a certified conference with other units, they can also sign out of One Nigeria if they so want..
It's their right and nobody should be kept underground because of that!

Igbo people are not slaves that you can command to sit at home whenever you want. There is no sit at home in effect in Nigeria or even in the old Biafra. Uyo is perfectly normal and so is Port Harcourt, Yenogoa and Calabar.

Sit at home is slavery exclusively for Igbo people. The height of stupidity

Aba


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y39Pdt52Cc&t=644s

The picture screen cap at the beginning of the Aba video is not anywhere in Aba. There is no single place in Aba that looks even remotely close to that nor has ever looked like that.

It’s a video intended to mislead before you even play it.

Aba just like most Nigerian “cities” is extremely primitive

onuman:
For how long is Nigeria going with show of force to preserve its oneness?

It's illegal, and unthinkable for the UK police to use force against Scottish Independence Separatist groups.

Actually when the IRA tried to use violence they used force to put them down.

Scottish independence campaigners don’t use violence or terror to enforce illegal so called “sit at home” now do they?

Omodua:
You're misguided. IPOB caused the awakening of southern States to iniquity inherent in Nigerian federalism. IPOB is not your enemy but those exploiting the resources of southern States to the detriment of indigenous peoples. These are northern capitalists and oligarchs. Therefore,know your exploiters. Not IPOB as you are reasoning.

Imagine telling Igbo people they can’t step out of their house on a Monday to do their normal business or go to school on a Monday and violently attack or kill anyone who doesn’t agree with that.

Which sane person will support a group like that? Whatever good point you are bringing up has been destroyed by that attempt to violently subjugate free Igbo people

If you want change start holding Abuja politicians accountable and stop destroying the lives of Igbo people who don’t agree with you

Qadaffi2idiamin:
Northern vasline crew and suckaway sniffers will masturbate on this thread.


Stupid idiots.


IPOB is their problem not the useless government that refuse a referendum to test it's popularity amongst the people.


You're mad if you quote me otherwise.

Only a lunatic and an insane person would think they will be handed a “referendum” because of terrorist tactics.

If you want a “referendum” go to Abuja and talk to the representatives and senators from the supposed Biafra with a concrete map of what Biafra entails. They are the ones that will push for a “referendum”

Killing Igbo people who want to go about their normal lives on a Monday or rendering all Igbo land desolate due to terror will not secure a referendum nor get anyone released from DSS custody

So when people are attacked or killed in the next couple of days for going about their peaceful business, who would be the ones doing it? These guys or the federal government?

How can faceless gunmen be telling you not to step out of your house and you are obeying such nonsense and hailing faceless unaccountable people with gun imposition lack of freedom
of movement on you?

Tour of Aba from 2 weeks ago on the ground level. This is what it actually looks like

Michael004:
You are right my brother. Both so called cities are shame.

But for a smaller helmet like aba to look so horrible is a big shame. A smaller city should have greater development than the big one because it won't take much to develop. But as big as ibadan is, it still far better than aba. I have been to both and I know what I am talking.

Very true.

Aba is a bit bigger but the longest roads in Aba are all not motorable hence why it’s even smaller to people who visit. Infact if you look at the video of the drive through that is most of motorable Aba right there. Port Harcourt Road, Ohanku, Obohia etc are all longer than say Aba-Owerri road but those sections of town are now no go areas due to lack of roads and they are big areas of the “city”

Yet some silly people here are starting threads left and right to compare Aba to here and there and are only using drone/Helicopter footage to do it.

When people post cities they post ground level pictures. I don’t take seriously anybody posting drone pics. I can post dozens of US cities drive through, Australia, Canada, China etc on the ground level to show people indulging in this mediocrity what a city actually is.

Aba is a very primitive looking place. A few nice newer 4 story buildings don’t change that. Same is also mostly true of Ibadan and most so called “cities” in Nigeria. Primitive hamlets being called cities. It’s a joke.

Nigerians really don’t understand how primitive these so called cities are. Using drone footage to try to make primitive towns look like cities. Neither of these places should be used with the word “developed”. It shows the primitive state Nigerians live in to compare these two places. Aba is a primitive town and Ibadan is not much better. I can post drive through videos of dozens or hundreds of American cities so guys know what cities look like.

And most of these cities are smaller than Ibadan and the same size as Aba. Nigeria is a really primitive looking place

Look at an example of ground footage of a city in China. A place still not considered developed but look at what their cities look like on the ground

Ground tour of Aba from 2 weeks ago

dreaonit:
What of Mexico and Brazil?

They are multi ethnic countries in Latin America. A lot of people from those places class themselves as “white” and Latino too at the same time.

All these categories are artificially made up anyways. Nothing like a “real white” or “real black”. It’s all bullshit

musicwriter:
Of course, my first post already said there are white skinned people everywhere, but the only people that quality as "white people" are Europeans and their descendants.

Whose definition of “white” are we using then? Definitely not that of Naija since our own definition is broad. It’s totally understandable by the way. Like in the west some of people they call “black” you can’t find a single Nigerian that looks anything like them. They have a broad definition of “black”. Vice versa with us.

It isn’t scientific and it’s just made up. I don’t know how people can be saying that Nigerians are wrong in their usage of the word “white” when even on the American census today if you are from North Africa or the Middle East you are classed as white the same as Europeans. Even Latinos are classed as white along with checking the Latino box.

The people who always try to tell Nigerians that so and so are “not white” are generally Nigerians who travelled outside and think they have found the real definition of “white” which Nigerians in Nigeria don’t know forgetting that our definition is centered on our perception not that of foreigners

musicwriter:
I've learned enough to be able to separate between African conception and Western conception of facts.. The context for "white" in America is not necessarily the same context our ancestors used it.

The only people that our ancestors specifically called "white" were European slave traders and colonialists, not someone from any other part of the world. Of course, Irish people are white according to my African ancestors. I don't care about their classification by other continents.

Netanyahu is a Karzah Jew. He's of Turkish origin but they later migrated to Europe, so he could be called a white man too, as long as my ancestors conception is concerned.

Actually calling people Oyinbo or Bekee like Igbo people do had nothing to do with Colonial activity or slave trading. Someone from Poland like Lewandoski, Russia like Putin, Israel like Netanyahu, Georgia like Stalin or Turkey like Erdogan would be Oyinbo/white to the average Naija. Same for a Syrian like Assad or a North African like Zidane even though they had nothing to do with slave trade

We have used it as a broad description up until today which is why even today in Naija not just middle easterners but even Asians get called Oyinbo/white/Bekee.

The people who talk about “real white” and stuff are Naija people who travelled overseas and now think they know what a “real white” or “real Caucasian” is.

In reality they don’t even know that terms like Caucasian refers to middle easterners and Notth Africans the same way it refers to Europeans

eduj:
there are news of private investment's in imo , Anambra and Enugu state threads-why should that of Abia be different ?

This thread has numerous state government projects, from roads to bridges, to industries like the poultry cluster at nsulu.

This thread is to put Abia state on the map,show the positive sides of the state to beat the false narratives out there and it's working.

Before 2015, Aba had zero radio station today there are 5 or more in the city

we had no mall in Aba before 2015 ,today we have two and more are under construction.

before 2015 Aba had zero cinema today we have one in the city

before 2015 Aba had zero eateries ,today we have multiple brands with multiple outlets.

before 2015 Abia never came top 10 in attracting FDI ,since then we have made the list thrice.

the night club I posted which is a three storey edifice by the way, the huge private hospital , Shells new gas facility at gas line, the new multinational companies springing up at osisioma ,etc

all these goes to show that something positive is happening in the city.Nobody will cite such humongous investment in a city with zero infrastructure, the infrastructure of Aba and Abia state at large is vastly improved, the pictures are there for all to see.

your free to believe whatever you want and abuse ikpeazu for orgasms, but please don't try to derail my mission or this thread again

Once Abia people get rid of the PDP govt aristocracy holding the state hostage, you would be shocked at the speed of development and transformation Aba will have. It’s Igbo lands best answer for a mini Lagos and is being held down by the people in Govt in Umuahia

It will be the beginning of this thread really exploding with posts and visitors

Morphinne:
The scope of Races/ethnic classification is way too controversial because of its broadness and human diversity so I’m not ready to school you. Well I may partially agree with you on Latin America being an ethno-linguistic classification but I still maintain that anyone who claims to be Caucasian most definitely has a european roots. The screenshots below should help you know that there’s indeed a scientific description for each race group. And no, you’re wrong for claiming that Caucasian had no scientific description. White and Caucasian are words used interchangeably and Caucasian people share phenotypical features that are distinct. A very good example of such is their pointed noses and non-black eye colors among other things. Mind you, Hispanic and Latino are two words also used interchangeably.

What is the “scientific basis” here? It says that all humans are either “Caucasian”, “Mongoloid” and “Negro”. It says Caucasian’s include Semites (middle easterners and some North Africans) & Hamites. What you posted contradicted what you are saying

You are ignorant beyond redemption if you think there is a scientific basis for race. Also Caucasian refers to people from
Europe, the Middle East and North Africa along with their migrant populations in North and South America and Australia/New Zealand

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race

musicwriter:
First of all, you need to understand that "white country" means Europe and their descendants in US, Canada, Australia, and maybe New Zealand.

Be advised that "white country" does not mean country of white skinned people. And if that's what you mean, then you're asking the wrong question.

Arabs are not white people, no matter how white they look.

Middle East people are not white people, no matter how white they look.

North Africans are not white people, no matter how white they look.

Etc

And who told you this? Or are you just assuming things?

Actually white has been a changing classification.

Even Jews like Netanyahu were not “white” in America for the longest time nor were Irish people. If a Nigerian refers to Netanyahu / Jews or people from Ireland as white when in America they were seen as not white in America would that be a correct description?

White in the sense Nigerians use it is a broad term just like people outside the continent use black in a very expansive way to refer to people who don’t even look like Nigerians in any way

There is really no “white” or “black” country anyways. Just vague descriptors

Morphinne:
Lol, no, all those you mentioned are Asians and Arabs. Pls let’s always note this, Asians are not whites
Even people living in the southern parts of America are not whites but Latinos or Latin Americans/Caribbeans. Not every light-skinned person is white. The whites are the Europeans or simply put, Caucasians

You don’t even know what “white” / “Caucasian” means and you are lecturing people about it. You also don’t know what Latino means either

Caucasian can include Latin Americans and even people in the Middle East and North Africa

Many Latinos are white like Argentina, Uruguay etc since it’s an ethno linguistic classification

There is no scientific description for Caucasian. It simply refers to people in Europe, Middle East, North Africa and migrant populations in North and South America

Fahdiga:
When will you speak about what is happening in Benue state?

what is the relevance of Benue or the North to the madness that has engulfed the East?

IbileIfe:
IPOB and ESN have nothing to do with all the so called unknown gunmen attacking and killing people in the eastern states of NIgeria.
They have been sent to destabilize the Igbos and to protect the terrorist Hausa Fulani herders trespassing on farmlands in the eastern states.

Do you really believe this rubbish you wrote?

Who praises the evil nihilists when they kill police officers and attack prisons and immigration offices?

Who mourns these nihilists when they meet their Waterloo while trying to kill police officers?

If they are really DSS/Fulani, why does this group mourn the deaths of unknown gunmen?
