I'm not sure you are an Igbo guy.
is Igbo not part of Nigeria?
i Igbo land would have been more developed than it is now. if an Igbo man had once ruled Nigeria.

Who told you that Igbos wants presidency? Gowon ruled Nigeria for 9years, how is NC? Shagari ruled for 4years how is Sokoto and NW at large? Obj ruled for 8years, how is SW? IBB ruled for almost 7years, how is Niger and north at large? Abacha ruled for several years, has it changed Kano from being the state with the highest almajiri in the North?

When you check all these Igbos are still better off even without the so called presidency. In 2019 we Igbos shall present a decent and lettered candidate for the highest office and not for a fat limping clueless a.boki pretending to be an Igboman.

Igbos do not need the presidency so desperately, what we need are the necessary facilities to aide our economy and income. Just like GEJ is already doing by providing the Onitsha Second Niger Bridge, Onitsha Port, International airports, reconstruction of highways among others.

GEJ till 2019

[b][/b]IF GEJ WINS, A SOUTHEASTERNER WILL NOT RULE NIGERIA UNTIL THE NEXT 2 DECADE.
This is becos, if Jonathan wins, if he leaves office 2019 a northerner will rule for 8 years. After the northerner rules for 8 years, a westerner may emerge as the next president (u might wanna disagree).
But if the APC wins, with the present gov of IMO state Rocha's okorocha running for presidential primaries under APC last year, he could get a ticket to run as the next president after buhari

Nwanne am so sorry. Mom overfed me today, I could hardly carry myself around talk more of driving. Lol. Am still in Onitsha though.

But I tink they should use Rojenny as their home. Even Neros at Nanka is another worldclass stadium. Am sure Uba is already making proper arrangements to build a world class stadium at Nnewi for his club.

What is the final scores right now..?

You are actually talking of Onitsha of 10-15yrs ago. Onitsha city is very clean and organized with good network of roads. The night life in the city has been re-ignited with improved security and streetlights adorning the city. Am sorry but Asaba is more or less a surburb of Onitsha. There are white collar corporate jobs in Onitsha because the city has the highest number of bank networks in the Southern Nigeria outside Lagos and PH.

Henix:
What kind of jobs do u have in lagos for undergraduates? While i await ur answer, Onitsha is basically a commercial city. The city lacks recreational facilities, resulting to poor night life. Asaba seems to be the nearest lively city, where one can hang out on weekends. Streets in Onitsha are dirty, no street light, no traffic light, buildings are old and tall. Onitsha shares some similarities with lagos. Nevertheless, there is security, rent is cheap. BTW, let ur dad looks for apartment at G.R.A., that is the only Serene environment in Onitsha, every other place is made of old tall buildings with poor streets.

Tourists inside the cave..

Inside the cave..

Intro..

centje:
Ogbunike Caves(discovered by a hunter called ukwa) are situated in a valley with tropical rain forest behind the "Ogba" hills in which lies St. Monica College, Ogbunike. Descending into the valley wherethe caves are located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 317 steps said to have been constructed by the Anambra State Government in the mid 90s. At the end of the walkway is an open space used as a reception point where visitors are by tradition to remove their shoes.

The main cave consists of a massive structure with a big open chamber of about5m high, 10m wide and 30m long at the entrance. There are ten tunnels at the mainchamber leading to different directions. Within the tunnels are big chambers and other tunnels of varying lengths, some of which are inter connected. The caves are occupied by a large colony of bats of various sizes. There are streams and body of water at various places. A stream flows out from one of the tunnels into a rapid flowing river (River Nkissa). At the meeting point of the river and the stream one can feel the warm water from the caves and the cold river water.

Beside this portion of the river is a table land of about 5 X 5 square meters used as a relaxation spot by visitors to the caves. Theimmediate environment of the caves up to about 200 meters radius is a thick tropical rainforest type of vegetation. Among the fauna of the site are deer, antelope, grass cutter, porcupine, rabbit, alligator and frogs. Others are fish, crabs and birds.

Satements of authenticity and/or integrity

Ogbunike caves are associated with living traditions and are said to be used by the people for many centuries. The site still retains its historical and spiritual significance. There is an annual festival called "Ime Ogbe" celebrated in commemoration of the discovery of the caves. The biodiversity of the site has remained almost in tact. The integrity of the site can be attested to by the presence of the primary forests around the caves. The Nkisa River flows by the side of the caves into which the water that drains from the caves empties itself. At that point,where the difference in temperature is felt between the river and the water from the rock. The entire site is within ranges of undulating hills and valleys which stretch across other communities and farmlands. The site has sufficient boundaries (20 hectares) to protect its values from direct effects of human encroachment.

Comparison with other similar properties

The Ogbunike caves like the ancient cave temple of Arochukwu in Abia State of Nigeria were a symbol of justice. Ogbunike caves have attractive waterfall at the North West part of the cave that could compare to Kalambo falls in East Africa. The caves are believed to have been in existence for centuries with minimal defacement. The caves occupy a large expanse of area.

. It is a place where Africans hid from slave raiding parties during the slave trade. Sandstone caves are rare and small. This cave is big for this type of caves. It was formed by tectonic forces, which produced weak zones in the rock. Physiochemical and biological weathering and erosion formed the cave. The cave has a large bat colony.

According to Igbo oral tradition, there was a god called Ogba who lived inside the cavein the middle of a large rock. Despite the opaque nature of the rock, he was an all-seeing spirit who could detect crimes, especially, theft. When someone was accused of crime, he could prove his innocence by entering the cave. The guilty ones never returned alive. The town is Ogbunike and the cave is called Ogba, like the god. But the English name used by tourists is Ogbunike cave.

This is what tourism development is about. The population of international tourists will skyrocket with this theme park and resort.

Gov. Obiano signs $250m MoU for the Ogbunike Cave Resort Development

The State Government has signed a two hundred and fifty million dollar Memorandum of Understanding with Africa Project Finance and Development Limited for the development of Ogbunike Cave into a World Class Park and Resort.

The agreement was signed at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia.
Our reporter, who covered the ceremony, said that under the arrangement, the company will design, develop, finance, construct and operate the state of the art park and tourist destination.

The equity distribution of the Memorandum of Understanding allocates seventy-five per cent to the company, fifteen per cent to the state government, five per cent to Oyi local government area and another five per cent to Ifite Ogbunike, while three per cent will be used for development and social responsibility projects in the area.

Governor Willie Obiano, in his speech, said the project would provide a comprehensive entertainment centre and facilitate total harnessing of the cave and make it attractive for tourism.

Governor Obiano assured that the project would be handled by a World Class Contractor who would give the state quality facilities for tourism and relaxation.

The Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Chief Tony Onyima, explained that following Governor Obiano’s passion and directive to transform the age-old cave, that had been ignored over the years, the Ministry and Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency, (ANSIPPA) accelerated work in attracting the investor and concluded modalities for the partnership to harness the potentials of the cave.

Chief Onyima said a schedule for the implementation of the project had been worked out and assured that by next year, some of the projects would be ready for commissioning and would transform the state with multiplier effects.The Managing Director of the company, Mr. Joachim Nwagbo, noted that within one year, Governor Obiano has turned the state into a first choice investment destination with effective security system and stable socio-political environment, attractive for direct funding of projects and strategic development initiative.

Mr. Nwagbo said in addition to the Ogbunike Cave project, the company was equally ready to finance an airport project, modern transport Scheme and has one-point-five billion dollars to invest on interstate rail system.

Earlier, the Chairman, Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency and traditional ruler of Umuoji, Igwe Cyril Enweze, said the project would include Nature and games reserve, Water Park, hotels, Museums, retail and dining facilities, amphi-theatre, cultural centre, lake and river sports, among other recreation activities.

Igwe Enweze explained that the project has great benefits for the state, including mass direct and indirect employment opportunities, as well as transfer of skills and technology.
