[quote author=baralatie post=3][/quote]i have been to the river before and i can tell you if there is political will by the state and federal govts the project is as feasible as other proposed river/seaports ...some one from ikot abasi in akwa ibom or from opobo in rivers state can attest to that.

baralatie:
OK!
how does the feasibility report relate with fg actions or inactions.was the National Ports Authority against it!

you could read my post again... It died a natural death with ibaka/ibom deep seaport as the national port authority brought their non feasiblity nonsense and financial what ever

baralatie:
I don't think is about finance but I wanted to know or understand if it was the f.g that interfered against the kicking off of the project.
I also wanted to know technically how the fg is against such project!

T A Orji wanted to actually use that for political reason but when it was approved by the state government many stakeholders outside the government took interest in that. Viablity studies was carried out as it was found to be feasible...
This lead some financial muscles in abia state and beyond to take very much interest in the project. Dr samson ogah was one of those much interested in it. But the river cuts through other states hence the need for federal concent and the rise of silence on this issue ever since then

baralatie:
some issues like?

financial and bureaucratic bottle neck... I think the federal govt see it as a non feasible venture

baralatie:
any development about the sea port project?

not yet...there has been some

alexlee50:
Bendel state, before then midwest region.delta has never been part of eastern territory, although there may be people with igbo names and similar language with igbo in delta state.abavo where oliseh comes from speak ika language which is the same as that spoken agbor

what is ika language? Do anyone speak ika?

thomasthomas:
Well sorry to disappoint you, I have travelled the whole of Nigeria, its just few states that I have not visited so I know what I'm saying. You said you are in Aba and serve in Akwa Ibom meaning you haven't travelled yourself. For your information, I didn't school and serve in Akwa Ibom and moreover work takes me all over Nigeria so I have a broad knowledge of what I'm talking about.

If I wanted to be more detailed your likes will say the article is too long? Yes, I gave my own conclusion based on what I've seen, its a discussion, you might agree or might not agree. Saying that my drawing my own conclusion is wrong because I can't ask a question I don't have an answer myself!

Now which SS and SE state has public water supply? Can you compare hospitals in Aba or Umuahia with a hospoital in Kaduna? Seee North is developing at a rapid speed and SE and SS think they are still years ahead. We have government taps running in the North at least in some of the states. Which town in the SE and SS do we have that? Please I will like to know. You are saying Akwa Ibom ayaya based on what you saw. Where in Akwa Ibom did you serve.

I won't blame you, someone coming from Aba will call Uyo a heaven.

i would have ignored this but because of the ignorance filled post of your i stand to correct you... There is no city in nigeria that has adequate pipe borne water...mr traveller do you know a little state like ebonyi has functional rural water scheme and pipe borne water that functions periodically in the capital city abakaliki?. Coming to abia and akwa ibom where exactly do you know...bring them out one by one so that we can discuss. And then name the northern city that has optimal functional water scheme if not what is got from other states.
conclusion: i am not saying things are how it should be in south east and south south south but i want to correct your misinformations on
1-your choosing of the wrong states makes everyone know you are not traveled as you claim
2-your assumptions is what i term ill gotten assumptions which is most definitely from the media

ArodewilliamsT:
Thank you, and we are simply reminding those people that he delinked himself Igbo even before starting. If i were an Igbo player in the Super Eagle, I will sabotage him. Let him use Odua-Arewa players.

He should have felt the political pulse of the country before making such a comment, if it were in 1994, the comment would have been overlooked. He is not Igbo and we agree with him.

definitely he shot himself on the foot thinking he was smart...

tpiander:
what is even annoying is her comment that since he's not Igbo, he should be judged by merit alone.

what kind of nonsense is this? Dont people think before they type?

there may be some wrong choice of words in her post but the truth remains that people make it look lyk olise's failures is because he is igbo...

StOla:
Are you the government that instituted the unity school system as to claim its for the gifted as opposed to the national integration the policy shows it to be?

I repeat, the unity school is not a school for the academically gifted.

You obviously do not know that a high cut off is a function of high scores by candidates from their respective states.

I'll try to simplify the process of determining cut off marks to you. I'm not saying it is word perfect, but it suffices.

If Anambra has a slot for 25 and the least score of the 1st 25 is 60, then cut-off becomes 60 for Anambra to fill its own quota.
If Sokoto has a slot for 25 and the least score of the 1st 25 is 15, then the cut-off becomes 15 for Sokoto to fill its own quota.

Pleease, please and please, how has Sokoto cheated Anambra when Anambra fixed its own high scores by internal competition between fellow Anambrarians for their state slot, and by virtue of its academic superiority to Sokoto?

Do you prefer to have Anambra students score so low?

How would that change the fact that your are still entitled to your state quota alone.

that is where you didnt get the logic is quota system the ideal solution for the education woes of nigeria especially the not?...lets look at it at the lens of unity. Why is the cut off mark difference between these regions so large beyond logic? What has the govt done over the year to close the gap?.... Is there no private? If No. Does it mean unity school is meant for olodo northerns?

TheFreeOne:
The earlier other tribes makes the fulanis realize that the right to swing their arms stops at where the nose of others begins the better for us all.

BH and Fulani herdsmen menace are twin evils that needs to be dealt with asap.

well thats nice if there is a way...but these men has hijacked the arm forces to the extent that they will kill anyone that attack the fulanis in the guise of upholding law and order

TheFreeOne:
Instead of condemning the murderous activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country and proffering solutions they are busy quoting the constitution.

Ok continue in your foolish arrogance.

no they are just taking advantage of the weak resistance from their opponent... You could notice how they claim to be teaching other socio cultural groups how they should operate even when they do worse than the ones they accuse<boko haram incidents are example of such cases>

mapet:
Bros,

Let me respond to your points.

1. If you flip this knot around as we try to understand it better, we should be realistic with our position on what is feasible. Even with the low cut-marks, some nothern states will not take up their quota. They will simply be under-enrolled.

so what you mean is that every northern candidate should be admitted because they have low/under enrollment or simply put the quota system is for the advantage of the north...||(that makes the OP right in his claim about injustice againist some region in favour of other regions)

2. The magnitude between the cutt-off marks goes[b] beyond moral questions[/b]. Under the current arrangements we run as a government, every states deserves their quota of the national cake; be it oil, ministeria appointment or Unity Schools.

so you accept that the current system of government is fraudulently structured? Anyway am not ready to talk about the country called Nigeria

3. A way to "bridge the gap" is for government to sell off all these schools and allow private owners to run it. There and then you will have cutt-off marks that is regardless of where you come from..........

nice

basilo101:
we are talking abt nigerian internal affair and u are talking studying abroad.

dont mind him...he forgot to tell us also that the high cut for those outside the country is because the institution wants the citizens of the host country to have an advantage over their foreign counterpart

StOla:
Each state is filling its guaranteed quota in a federal education scheme designed for unity. It is not an admission based on academic merit but on compulsory NATIONAL representation.

It is nobody's business what low score or high score you require to fill up your own state quota. The high score only suggest better literacy indices in the South as opposed to the North.
No state is cheating the other, neither will any state yield its quota to another state until there's no candidate from the original state to fill their rightful quota.

The high cut-off score in the South is what internal competition demands to fill up their quota, while the low cut-off score in the North is what the low literacy levels ensure would fill up their own quota also.

Anyone who has no space to fill in their state quota can always try the myriad of state owned public schools or private school.

Lastly, what has the released marks got to do with a specific targeting of Igbos? You guys should please shut the hell up.

Enough of this unnecessary misinformation.

all you just said there is what we all know but the questions are, is the margine in cut off mark between these regions logical and morally sound?, is there no other way to bridge these gap without been bias?... These and many more is what a serious institution/state/country should discuss about not giving these excuse after many years of running such institution

Antivirus92:
though I am not from Enugu but I am ready to die for the betterment of igboland.
this thread resembles my native anambra thread in serenity and also in suggestions to make east better.
I've seen ideas,suggestions,philosophies exchanged here... but one thing I will like to ask is...
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR THE EAST?
I want every one of us to answer this...

This is a very good question for all sons and daughters of the east...well on my own part i have done nothing tangible yet but will do what ever is in my power to make my fatherland better

...

Good to know the truth

OBJ Was also minister of petroleum during his tenure even when militants were active...maybe MB wants to tore the path too and we all know how it will end

ddippset:
Wait. Answer is 6.667 minutes. Wait for explanation. Let the capacity of the tank be X. Then the Pipes have flow rates of x/30, x/20 and x/15 per minute respectively. So the total flow rate all working together would be x/30+x/20+x/15=3x/20 lets say litres per minute. Now the time for the 3 would be capacity divided by flow rate = X divided by 3x/20= 20/3=6.667 minutes. CLAP FOR ME!

you are correct but i used probablity approach as i am not a mathematician but a statistician

kettykin:
Your opinion on how hatred for the igbos is reuniting Nigerians once again by former foes and the steps igbos need to put in place to avoid being used as scapegoats for Nigeria's failures and corruption.

Please discuss.

scapegoat!? No no Igbos are not scapegoat pls...
To me i will term it igbophobia because whether the igbos say/do something or not it will be termed Igbo greediness,pride and/or igbo dominance by other nigerians even when it is uncalled for. They will try their best to keep painting the igbos black, then if igbos tries to defend themselve, then it becomes chest beating...This leads me to these questions:
* what will happen if there were no igbos in Nigeria?
*will all nigeria problems be solved?
* will there be unity among other ethnic groups in Nigeria?...

The fact remains that these problems will not be solved but will only get worse as there will be no one to blame.
IN CONCLUSION:
Igbos are deterent to many evil plans by some group of people...and as such the igbos have to pay dearly for that.
Above all one can convincingly argue that " Igbos are the apogee of peace in Nigeria".

QuotaSystem:
Don't pretend to be daft, read my moniker and do the math.

i dont give a dime about your moniker, just answer me; Are you from which region?... Or you can keep playing ostrish

QuotaSystem:
No you hate politics because you are useless and hopelessly inadequate at it.

You complain that the SE has been ignored by government since the war, and FG establishments like ports, military installations, and Federal projects have been concentrated in other regions, yet you say we have nothing to show for our dominance.

You are just confused.

which region are you from?... If you are not from north west then you most be a hypocrite

Blakjewelry:
Somebody wan start war here... But on reading the full article I think op is confuse as the topic did not match what he posted

i think there is only one wrong thing with the topic. Igbos are subset of the set delta state...hence one of the more appropriate way of heading it should be "SOME PART OF DELTA STATE ARE IGBOS" Because saying "deltans are partly igbos" will mean then that igbos is not a subset but a character that every element in the set have. Meaning all deltans are partly igbos which is wrong

myners007:
Historian, Deltans are not Igbo and will never be. Aniomas may have some Igbo Affiliation, so stop misleading people with your bogus claim

have you been to anioma? Pls can you Tell me how many villages you know there(anioma)...do you that ngwa in abia state do have some varitions in dialect?, Then how come there are regarded as one clan in igbo land?. On the same note do you know that no one speaks anioma...but they speak their different clan dialect. Do you also know that there are many dialect within the igbo community? Eg lets take a look at isuikwuato LGA in Abia state, do you know that there are two different clans(Uturu & isuikwuato) with distinct dialect and culture making up this LGA. Do know that every clan in igboland has its own distinct culture and dialect?... Do you also know that something connect them all(these clans)? And do you know that among these things that connect them together, the language called igbo is the grand of all!?and do you know that igbo izugbe(general igbo) can be understood by all igbos instinctively (including the good people of anioma)... Do you know that there are many cultural similarities peculiar to all igbos? Do you know that that clans with similar language, culture and history are termed an ethnic group? then i ask who are the anioma? Do they have the same dialect? If no what is their common language? Is their general language the same with the general language of other similar clans in SE & some part of rivers state?
SOme Times lies said over and over again to one's self becomes the truth to that person over time...
