Some YORUBA never-do-wells and their inferiority complex....Lol ... Suddenly they have a list of the "best" movie directors in Nigeria..... Fake lists sprouting all over the media. Igbos have grown above this nonsense. We are the award givers okay?
Justmesagi: The best you can do is pick out the "nonsense" in my comments and debunk them point for point instead of trying to intimidate me with aggression.
Fejoku: No one in his right frame of mind will make the comments you make hence I question your sanity. No one cares whether Ikwerres are Igbos or not. Let me ask you another question that might arouse your cognitive sanity. Between Igbos and Yorubas, who own more properties and businesses in PH? Even in Benin City, there are more Igbos than Yorubas no to talk of PH which is part of Igboland despite the controversy surrounding the city.
Please ignore these newbies.... their brainwave is erratic
yorubarere: In rivers state as a whole, I am not sure but in Ph, you don't have our numbers. Yoruba families migrated there during the oil boom in large numbers. They have made the place their home but understood they are mere visitors and respect their host. An attitude igbo lacks.
yorubarere: If igbo have the numbers yoruba has in Ph, trust me, they would be calling ur land a no mans land by now.
We are naturally not boastful and we always respect our host wherever we find ourselves.
Quit yapping what you are ignorant about. A lot of ikwerre people identify as Igbos and I am not even talking about other Igbos who live and work in PH.
Justmesagi: I have noticed with keen interest how the Yoruba language has become the major language of use in Nigerian commercial and entertainment sectors.
Igbo use to be especially in Nollywood but since the past two decades, Yoruba language has been the choice language in our music industry, and recently, it is gradually taking over the movie industry too.
Even most Nigerian slangs on socials media (Twitter, Facebook,etc.) are mostly of Yoruba Origin.
I know Lagos, a Yoruba dominated state and commercial capital of Nigeria, plays a major role in these. However, their tendency to infuse their culture in whatever they do thereby propagating it cannot be ignored also.
The "soft power" is getting stronger year by year and this will play a major role in Nigerian future politics and Africa at large.
What are others not doing? Why are we slacking?
How is that an issue? And stop peddling errors as truth in your observation. It's all in your head
XerXerz: Shut up your dirty mouth there. Everyone knows that abia is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. It is a fact known by Everyone, so stol fooling yourself
When we say it's not by how loud or flashy you are, they will not Believe. It's not by how many crossover bridges or flashy malls, yet they won't listen.
The latest statistics by National Bureau of Statistics on their first multidimensional poverty report 2022 has shut the mouth of Abia Detractors. All those trying to mudsling Abia as "the worst state in Nigeria, the most backward state in Nigeria, etc" have all been humbled by the report. Lol... Facts are indeed stubborn.
Abia may not be there yet. Our governors may not be as proactive as they should in providing infrastructure, yet it doesn't mean we don't thrive in MSMEs and Education for human capital development. The resilience of Abia people is top notch.
If only our leaders can be decisive in infrastructural development, who dare stands up to Abia? All the keypad warriors using their "flashy states as standard bearers to denigrates Abia have learnt their lesson that noise isn't necessarily melody.
Abians themselves don't make noise. We rarely find time for such. I keep observing this with some admiration, however, time has come for we Abians to sit up and silence those who tries to silence us. Let those trying to de-market Abia know that they can't eat their cake and have it.
XerXerz: Poverty rate in abia is almost the same with that of ebonyi. Presently ebonyi has overtaken abia state in all facets of development. Ebonyi will soon have airport but abia is still swimming in dilapidated roads and filth Atulu tagbuo gi there.
Nwoke mechi onu and quit embarrassing yourself. You come online and yap trash. All you do is make noise without facts. I am telling you fact and you are busy embarrassing yourself.
XerXerz: Almost all the roads in abia state are dilapidated and filth is a major challenge in abia state. Abia is a failed state and also the worst and most backward state in Nigeria
With all your rants, Abia still surpasses your state in the least poverty states in Nigeria. Nkita tagbuo kwe gi nga-ahu.
Most nairalanders will NOT read the news. It's actually UAE having grouse with NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT....not the illegal citizens, those ones are chicken feed to them. Fix your government, you are busy shouting APC like something I don't understand
herkeem: The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC today went to Kano and he was welcomed by huge crowd chanting Jagaban Jagaban Jagaban. Watch the video below and don't forget to like and subscribe.
See them....noisemakers....how much Dem pay una sef? Lol....Bunch of tribalistic people. We go see as 2023 go take share Lagos for LP, APC and PDP.....That was why they voted buhari in 2015 and 2019 so as to inject their tribalism.
XerXerz: Abia has been taken over by terrorists, go and do something to free your backward state from shackles of under development. Anambra doesn't need your approval because we know your veiled envy and bitterness towards the state. Ewu you are talking about 2nd phase ir is now obvious you didn't read the report but just wanted to deceive yourself. Anambra is the most developed and progressive state in igboland.
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has released new report on states development. And from what I gathered, Abia State isn't the worst, yet we are still not where we ought to be.
However, we need to wake up and hold our leaders accountable come 2023. Enough of this I-dont-care-attitude. We boast of human and mineral resources yet we have little to show for it as per state level.
Losers and cowards find voice in attacking Abia State when topic on Abia development arises. People whose state isn't even better than Abia State have had a field day in attacking Abia State.
Ndi Abia, please wake up. Speak up. Take 2023 election seriously.
3duj: Hopefully the next governor of Abia state builds more infrastructure to complement what is now on ground. While Urban roads in Aba has been improved, the city needs more bridges, real estates and roads in emerging satellite towns.
I sincerely have no gross with the quality of the Frontline candidates contesting for 2023 (apart from th APC guy). Any of the others from Apga,YPP,Labour and PDP will do a good job
To be honest, Abia State is no as bad as some detractors project it to be. I know there is so much to do, but the sadistic posts made by these urchins have really mudslinged Abia State.
Funny enough, their state isn't any better. Abia has underperformed when it comes to reaching it's FULL potential, but that is not to say it is the worst state.
shanktang: Equiano was actually Igbo and not Benin, he even claimed he came from Ebo (Ibo more or less) speaking part of west Africa, he was actually Ndokwa an igbo speaking part of Delta state in the south south region.
I am not sure about the ndokwa part, but he was certainly igbo
backtovillage: So you mean Igbo own the big companies in Lagos. Enough of these shits that igbo developed lagos The big companies you see in Lagos are not own by Igbos, from foreign investment. Yoruba own a largest investment (as citizen) in Lagos.
You may want to deny the obvious but the fact remains that money generated in Lagos has a strong input of Ndigbo business enterprise in it. Go to Apapa Wharf for container goods, go to Alaba, Ladipo, aspamda, Ago, itire, Tejuosho, mazamaza, festac and see Igbo businesses circulating the money.
XerXerz: Hahaha..you will keep crying while Anambra is keep moving forward.
Obiano signed MOUs that produced Lyden farms(the largest poultry farm in SE, Coscharis rice (the biggest in SE, etc. I am happy that you agreed that Obiano's MOU produced Awka Millennium city. The question is, what has all the governors in abia achieved whether through MOU or state projects? Nothing.
Listen this aba pig, Anambra is not competing with your backward shithole abia state. That abia is useless and backward is not the fault of the progressive Anambra.
Anambra has got it right by constantly electing good leaders that have kept transforming the state. Go and pray to God to help you people elect someone that can rescue your state from shackles. Abia is now used as a mocking name because you people failed to get it right since 1999.
Obiano has built international, international convention centre, stadium, flyovers, bridges, etc. Now Soludo is moving towards another areas of development. That's what's called advancement. Tell us what abia has achieved since 1999? Nothing. So it is clear why you are bitter and envious.
Now you are running to Kaduna, why not mention your abia state lol. It is on record, whether you like it or not that Anambra has best roads in igboland and Anambra is the richest in igboland both in GDP, IGR, Individual wealth, etc.
