who said they were synonymns?
I just assumed that all biafrans were igbos. but it didn't add up since some state that are part of biafra didn't seem igbo to me. ex cross rivers etc. so i was confused. but now i have been enlightened. yay!!

so i have a few more ignorant questions:
is there a efik language? or a separate ibibio language?
what will happen if the ethnic groups in biafra end up not getting along? will the country split further?

Onlytruth:
Anyway, we need a REAL international airport in the East.
Let me say what most people already know, any such airport in the East will be viable. Worst case scenario, it would deflate Lagos and Abuja airports, but how is that my business?
Place a fully functional international airport in Enugu or Asaba, or even Calabar and Uyo.
Stop fearing the inevitable.

Hehe I am going to revive my cannibalism thread

Sleezy,
I am from Anambra state not Enugu tho I was born and raised there and not once have I demanded an airport in Anambra state. The new Airport in Asaba and Enugu are good enough.

Most of my Aro family from Abia state migrated to Anambra state.

My point is that the Eastern region and Igbo land deserves to have a real International Airport to facilitate better economic development and growth. You are either silly, ignorant or full of rabid hate towards anything pass Ore to feel that a section of your country does not deserve the same thing you are getting. Why must we drive 7 hours risking death, accidents, armed robberies just to board an international flight through Lagos, Abuja, Kano when we have big cities with Airports that can serve the same purpose? Why must we pay to board a domestic flight in Enugu, Calabar just to land in Lagos, or Abuja and then pay for international flight? For once remove the hate and try to be fair. Geez.

Tinapa in Calabar will benefit so much if there is even one real International Airport in the East. How many foreign tourists will want to land in Abuja, kano, or Lagos and risk death, molestation, robberies on Nigeria's dangerous highways just to visit Tinapa? If this is  not a deliberate attempt to strangle the Eastern region economically then I don't know what it is.

udezue:
Can u please quote me where I ever said any non Igbo group in the Eastern region is Igbo or do you just like to pull shyt out of your a$$ just for the hell of it? SMH

SEFAGO:
Efik-ibibio mostly. They are a mixture of ethnic groups but the dominant ones are the Efiks
Una no dey hear? Do you know how much it would cost to set up an international airport? Do you think it has to do with the naija governement? If your leaders decide to have an international airport, I doubt anyone would stop them lol.

Kobojunkie:
My Family would also love to land in my village but can not do that currently because it is not offered, your point?

udezue:
Ofcourse anything pass Ore is Igbo to Sleezy and the rest of em alaye boys. Painfully ignorant. Since when did Efik-Ibibio of Akwaibom become Igbo? They are closely related and similar but still distinct people.

udezue:
Chiogo, please research better before you say certain things.

Igbos in Delta make up about 40% of the native population of Delta state.
Igbos in Rivers make up about 75% of the native population of Rivers state.

There are minority population of native Igbos in Edo, Cross Rivers, Akwaibom and Benue.

SS is not SS because there are no Igbos there. Its just called SS for nonsensical and malicious reasons.

oyinda.:
ok thanks for the clarification. it confuses me when i hear "calabar people this" "igbo people that" then i think to myself, aren't calabar people igbo? lol
and why is ANAMBRA in caps lock? is that where you are from?

oyinda.:
ok guys, I need clarification on something. what states qualify as being igbo? what are the eastern ethnic groups beside igbo?

SapeleGuy:
Why you no like to dey copy good thing?
Can't we for once in our lives set an example of how to do things properly?
Did Berlusconi  in Italy not go to court?

Have Blair and Bush been named as recipients of any bribes?

Please think before you type, the culture of impunity will end. Nobody is above the law or bigger than our country.

mikeansy:
Is there any reason we should trust you and Pointblanknews over Saharareporters, Vanguard Nigeria and AFP?

paddy_lo:
common sense. . . .tell me the last time someone was sacked and got such a high profile post immediately

dont forget that jonathan chose sambo,so he will also have a hand in who becomes deputy Governor

If the shehu ladan guy was sacked due to corruption or non-performance
then it will be immpossible to justify his new appointment as Dep. Gov
