escavros: To boycott elections is foolishness. Rather, rally round and gather your supporters to register to vote in the next election to put who you want into power for the current dispensation.
How long will Ibos be guided by shallow thinking.
Ibos, please disregard this boycotting statement or you Will be lead you away from the opportunity you desire.
YOUR VOTE IS YOUR POWER. Do not boycott elections, because boycotting the elections is as good as throwing away your opportunity to make a difference.
Learn from the Yorubas and Hausas, register to vote and stop this myopia.
IBO are said to be wise, show your wisdom by registering like every other Nigerian to vote and make a difference in 2019.
Separatists don't engage in voting in a country where they don't feel belonged. They want to vote for REFERENDUM first, before knowing if they would continue their clear-cut agenda. Stop trying to conceal your ignorance.
Mynd44: Dellusions. She really didn't see what her husbsnd was doing as illegal which is just her either being ignorant or having selective amnesia. This is a man that threatened to kill the president.
So she thinks she made a sacrifice by being in London while thousands of luves were put on the front lines to march for a cause that was potentially violent?
"We won't vote" who are the "we"? She and her family? I doubt she has a voter card anyway so I dont expect her to but who shouldnt vote? I thought her husband said the Anambra elections wont hold (we all know how thay ended)
They had people's ears and hearts and yet messed it up; they could have formed a political party with IPOB and went to the senate to cause really changes but one man had Messiah's complex and let it go to poo.
Suddenly you found voice to save your face? You know your lies stink. Your propaganda is impotent.
On the elections, did KANU force anybody not to vote? Stop lying Mr man.
On threatening to kill the president, your points sounds so lame that even a child will raise an eyebrow. How exactly was he threatening to kill the president?
Everyone understood kanus position about the biase and nepotism of the president... Only your type keeps spewing half truths and propaganda to save face.
gidgiddy: What did her husband do that was illegal? He asked for the independence of his people? The same right that people like Zik, Awolowo and Eyo Ita asked the British authorities for which you Nigerians now celebrate every 1st October?
Nnamdi Kanu threatend to kill the president? Have you even asked your self what the law says should happen if a person verbally threaten the presidents life? Thousands if not millions of people who hate Buhari verbally threaten Buhari's life and wish him death on a daily bases. Its nothing new. There is no President in the world who doesnt recieve thousands of verbal death threats from his haters everyday.
The so called thousands of lives put in the frontline were put there by your Nigerian government that is killing unarmed people expressing their right to self determination accorded to them under international laws which Nigeria is signatory to. As for IPOB having the potential to be violent, what did your government do against the movements that have long moved past "potential violence" to armed and killing people? Herdsmen, Nigeria Delta militants and cultists? All armed and killing people, but your headache is "potential to be violent".
I laugh in Igbo
Dont mind some zombie commenters on this thread. They are only trying to save face
YhungPablo: can you compare those course's with only Medicine or Mech.Engr.?FP please Lalasticlala
Medicine i.e. 'medical doctor' is lucrative but overrated. Nutritionist/Dietitians and pharmacists are taking over not only prophylactic medicine but also therapeutic medicine as well.
Mech. Engineering are losing their shine because they have no base in Nigeria. How many automobile factories do we have in Nigeria? Mech engineering are busy rubbing shoulders with mechanical technicians (mechanics)
YhungPablo: There have been series of arguments about the superiority of some courses in Nigerian Tertiary institutions: some students feel their course of study is more important and special than others. Don’t worry, I’m not here to bore you with my opinion about that- maybe I will put that forward another day. Some courses, students or departments in our schools have been facing this inferiority tag. Because of this, some lose interest in their course or ashamed but we still have the proud ones who don’t care. I still don’t know what people see wrong with these courses that they tend to underrate but here is the list: The 5 Most Underrated Courses in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions are
1. History People don’t just see reasons why someone will go and spend four years or more to study past events. History students are always tagged archaic; their discussions and studies are always based on passed dates and events. You might be tempted to feel superior to someone who all what he has to offer is events that happened even before Christ (BC) in this 21st century.
2. Agriculture Agriculture students are popularly called “farmers”. I don’t know why people look down on this course? Maybe because you always see them in campus with farming tools and in their farm. I am sure others undermine them because they are naive about the fortune they can make with the knowledge of the course. People are going back to Agriculture and embracing it daily, so I believe this should be out of this list soon.
3. Nigerian Languages “Hey babe! What Course are you studying in school?” and her reply was “Yoruba Language”. My friend bursted into laughter telling me why didn’t she just go to a typical village and mingle with the villagers to learn their language, instead of coming to school. Students studying Nigerian Languages faces this downgrade almost every day in school.
4. Education Courses Because of the poor treatments being accoladed to teachers in Nigeria, students studying any education course are degraded-students see them as another “suffer head” teacher to be. They have forgotten that without teachers, they won’t be where they are presently and we now have successful teachers making it big.
5. Zoology/Botany Zoology and Botany are different branches of Biology and what they do is to study plants and animals. Because zoology is related with “Zoo”, other students assumes all the students studying it will end up in the Zoo. Do you agree with this List? – Drop your Comments.
1. Agriculture? Really? Do you know about the course called FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY? cocacola, nestle, uac foods, 7up, OK foods, gsk, NAFDAC, Promasidor, Guinness, wamco foods, erisco foods, dufil, the list is just endless. These food industries and agencies employ students from that department... Only foolish youths underrate Agriculture.
2. Education courses are relatively gaining some grounds now, particularly SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (MATHS, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, BASIC SCIENCE, etc) EDUCATION. For teachers, higher degrees and working location are the main factors that brings more cash. Lecturers own houses and drive solid cars, college teachers in urban centres make moderate income coupled with a free time to run other businesses.
lastempero: Aba is celebrating mediocrity. Tell ur boss to reduce the no of agboros in aba and start constructing quality roads and not give n take roads and what baffles me is that their is no innovation the same old city nothing new going in the state.
See this sadist. How many agberos are in abia compared to other states in Nigeria?
The "old city" still remains the aba made hub of west Africa and the MSME capital of Nigeria.
post=65101051: I'm with you bro, I'm surprised why you guys are so reluctants, media war is real here, you guys need to defend your state, even TA Orji they used media and destroyed his reputation, he's far better than many governors, he performed well in many areas, under his watch Abia was doing great in education, health sector and what have you, last time I visited Aba I noticed road from Osisioma down to inside town was being dualized, MCC road, and others. Fight your war
I get your point bro. Abians themselves are media shy. We are so media shy that it affects us negatively.
Ttipsy: Aba is dirty, roads a bad, not just street, major roads. No tourism or meaningful attraction sites, useless leaders like I said before. Transportation is another problem. Economic activities suffers setback due to the decay on infrastructure. with this compare your State with any state in Nigeria, OK you can start from the 5 SE states.. then to SS . don't quote me again. it seems you r dumb
Oga, mention your own state and stop parambulating
Aba is this aba is that, but it generates huge revenue and its the MSME capital of Nigeria. Aba made products still travel farther than the journeys of all your generations combined.
Please all those who find pleasure in belittling something bigger than them out of inferiority complex should go and freeze up.
Yes we know Abia state, Aba especially, is in dire need of infrastructure. But we also know your portrayal of this neglect is too exaggerated. Abia is an educational and commercial juggernaut in Nigeria.
Some roads are been rehabilitated, while some are being marked for rehabilitation. Trying to paint abia state with your SADISTIC brush won't change the fact that:
1. Aba remains the MSME capital of Nigeria.
2. Abia state ranks number one in secondary school performance in Nigeria
3. Abia state asides Anambra states, boasts of a very strong indigenous economic block (ABA MADE products) that can sustain the entire nation if well nurtured and supported.
Some of you criticize out of pure hatred, inferiority and jealousy, its so easy to notice. Go and freeze if your badmouthing is beyond correction.
We are just as influential as onitsha and this one is here talking about extended economy to Asaba from onitsha as if Asaba is a baby that can't increase without onitsha. Just see your nonsense. You've failed already
My apologies if I was misunderstood. Asaba is thriving, but I felt onitshas huge economy can rub off on asaba. This can lead to a connubation between the two places
There can also be a connubation between Aba and portharcourt if these two places are properly nurtured.
These two zones can emerge as great industrial belts in alaigbo.
reality1010: My takes r many.Each community must form an economic team that will focus on infrastructural development from d communities to d towns.This will be a bottom up approach.Electricity should be d first then roads and water,after that other things will follow.Also we need to see d governors in south east leading d pack through provision of free or incentives to business Moguls in d south east.
I think thats a good point you raised. Infrastructure powered by electricity should be key. Igbo are capable of moving with the speed of light.
Zgyn: My happiness is that, those of his kinds are becoming lesser by the day. Aba gets mentioned 100 times before anybody hears Anambra in anywhere in Nigeria.
For him to devote the entire Sunday to trolling a thread that seeks to better the Igbo nation is just disgusting and reeks of insecurities... Maybe Abia enjoys better spotlight than his state.
This is one of those rodents Nnamdi Kanu knew were a reason to Igbos disunity. Like I said earlier his kinds are becoming a minority.
Every Igbo state have enshrined in them, her own uniqueness. From Abia, Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, Delta, Rivers and others.
My brother don't mind him. He tries to derail every igbo thread opened by an abian. I think he is cursed. We pray for his deliverance.
oneeast: Chika, you need help, looking hopeless and useless like Abia state
Yea...am one of the most popular and controversial guys in nairaland. If you knew my online past, you wouldn't rant. But I forgive you.... But stop derailing this thread.
oneeast: All I am saying is that you be patriotic and talk about how Abia state could be revived. It is an honourable thing to do
[s][/s]
Oga, take your madness elsewhere, this thread isn't meant for dick measuring.... Read the thread content again and stop disgracing anambra and ndigbo at large.
oneeast: Has Abia state gone anywhere outside Nigeria to represent Nigeria before?
Jubilation is the word in the Executive chambers of the Government house today when the Anambra Debate Team that participated in the Junior School Mock Debate in Singapore last week as part of the build up to the World School Debate Championship billed for Germany in July this year has returned with the trophy it won after defeating the Debate Team of Katong Convent School, Singapore. The Debate Team is made up of five students drawn from different public secondary schools across the state including Ugochukwu Chineke, a fourteen-year-old student Army Day Secondary School, Onitsha, Oluchukwu Godfrey, an eleven-year-old pupil of Modebe Memorial Primary School, Onitsha, Favour Mmesoma Nwankwo, an eleven-year-old student of capital City Secondary School, Awka, Endurance Peter, a thirteen-year-old student of Comprehensive Secondary School, Nawfia and Chinecherem Precious Oli, a fourteen-year-old student of Metu Memorial Secondary School, Onitsha.
The Debate Team stormed the chambers of the Anambra State Executive Council with the trophy and was roundly applauded by the Council Members for flying the flag of the state high and doing Nigeria proud at the Mock Debate. Receiving the trophy, the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano praised the team for putting up a sterling performance in Singapore and doing the state proud. Governor Obiano expressed happiness that the huge investments that the state had made in education had started yielding heart-warming results and assured that his administration had singled out education as a top priority because of its overall importance to human capital development. Noting that Anambra approaches education in three broad categories including Teachers Welfare, Infrastructural Development and Pupils/Students Development, Governor Obiano observed that gradually the state was inching closer to realising its objective of becoming one of the Top-3 states with the highest literacy rates in the country. He commended the triumphant Debate Team and assured that the state would write a Special Commendation Letter for each of the debater that would serve as a memento. He also commended teachers in the state for responding massively to the efforts of his administration to reposition education in the state pointing out that Anambra teachers had swiftly risen to the demands of the times. Also speaking, the Commissioner for Education, Professor Kate Omenugha revealed that Anambra, Kaduna and Niger States were originally billed to participate in the Mock Debate in Singapore in preparation for the World Championship in July but only Anambra and Niger State eventually made the trip. Thanking Governor Obiano for assuming the role of the Pillar of Education in the state, Professor Omenugha observed that under him, Anambra had become an exemplary state in education in the country. According to her, the essence of the Mock Debate in Singapore was to expose the children to global best practices in debating and prepare them for the World Championship coming up in Germany in July this year. Professor Omenugha further observed that the Singapore trip provided a veritable learning platform for the children who sat under the tutelage of world class debate coaches and imbibed some crucial skills that would aid their performance at the World Championship. Sharing their experience on the trip, Master Ugochukwu Chukwuneke from Army day Secondary School Onitsha who won the Best Speaker at the Mock Debate and Oluchukwu Godfrey from Modebe Memorial Primary School who also put up a sterling performance revealed that the tour had opened their eyes to a higher standard in debating. They thanked Governor Obiano for providing them the opportunity to improve on their persuasive speaking skills and assured the state that they would not let Nigeria down in the World Championship .
oneeast: Chika, I am not here to talk rubbish. What I am posting is the reality on ground in your Abia state. Post whatever you have so far as it is recent so we can compare notes. Useless people
Clap for yourself, you took effort to trace my name.....Lol....anyway it is easy to do.
Why are you derailing this thread? Are you anambra state? Was the word "anambra" even mentioned? Are you from Onitsha? Or nnewi? Or awka? If yes, how does this thread affect you?
