Lol..

am laughing at you seriously on your two assertions, knowing Duncan and traveling out of portharcourt

let me not talk on how much I know Duncan because he's not treasure to me

I've lived every part of this country and Africa at large, anybody that compares Duncan to Timaya is very timid, it shows the person had never traveled

if you come to kumasi where I am now, Timaya's presence will cause traffic jam, no single Ghanaian (especially the ones in this kwansi region) know who Duncan mighty is, even some Nigerians who have spent many years here don't know Duncan

even in Lagos, Nigeria, it's only few people knows the name Duncan, everybody knows Timaya

if you go to portharcourt where Duncan claims to be first son, Timaya is more popular than him there

lastly, I don't live in ph, I live in Ghana

Charlie you lie. Duncan hasn't been mainstream of recent but timaya is that's why. In the days of his first and sophomore album where he even featured some ghanaian acts and sang Akwaaba the streets of Ghana were rocking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion sha. But for him to say he should not be compared to rubbish he's the rubbish. How dare he label another act who is arguably bigger "rubbish" or he wants us to come for him with our Port Harcourt shots of Omah Lay and Burna Boy.

on a serious note, Timaya shouldn't be compared to Duncan mighty, Timaya is continental(africa) Duncan mighty is city wild(portharcourt) not even national

Everywhere they play songs in Nigeria, Duncan is being heard so it's either you've not gone out of Port Harcourt in your life or you don't know Duncan.

Timaya would have said no need for comparison's but calling a fellow Port Harcourt boy rubbish who can match up to him is very shallow and stupid of him. In fact for this, Duncan is bigger than him.

Igbo are truly one of the most successful tribe in Nigeria

I know what you're trying to do but shove it up your axx or simply suck it up.

How much per word?

Karaye - the Journey

6:am and my bus peeled out of the banks of the great calabar river.

Away from the University of Calabar, one university with a population of 50,000+ yet the air is unstuffy

Destination was Kano - Northern Nigeria
Purpose was to serve and the thanks was for Gen Gowon Rtd

28 hours later I was greeted with the scorching heat of the sun as the dusts welcomed me to Kano

Next was Karaye even though the waters of Kusalla damn didn't roar to acknowledge my presence I felt welcomed

I've sang the national anthem for the better part of my existence and here I was poised to fulfil it
Every morning reality beckons with the sound of a bugle is succeeded by whistles

Sleep is a luxury too high to afford
Double up is the mantra
Fear of the north resonates from the background
Cries of deployment although silent are more louder than the NYSC anthem

Everyone is healthy but sick at the same time
Why is heat so hot and why is cold so cold?
Harsh realities of the North
Insecurity, religious tension and the Boks are sincere worries

But one thing is crystal clear, when death decides to have you for an evening snack
Your location is the least of his worries, whether it's Aso Villa or on the death fields of Sambisa

The south where I'm from and the north my present host are both divergent world's and NYSC is the bridge
We've aggregated at the Kusalla Dam from different parts of Nigeria and we won't be damned

Kano will be our new love, fear would be a distant cousin and joy will be the child
As we number our days to the exit of Karaye
The soldiers who stole the keys to our morning happiness, the morning drills, the drums, the mami market and the mami waters we take there
The kitchen and their fantastic meals, the parades, the white shorts and shirts and the colored waters of Kusalla dam that defiled the laws of chemistry will remain etched in our hearts

memories will be relished years after and tales of the exploits will be recounted by the moonlights

If wishes were horses, the sun should take a chill pill, the cold should take a wife and be warm, 9mobile should be stable, camp food should cross our throats and let's not clamour for relocation since "fear the north" will change to "fear not"

somewhere hope is lurking in the form of allawee with the 3 to the O and the letter K is a suffix
It won't be the first of the many hopes an average Nigerian is akin to

God bless Karaye our host, the waters of Kusalla shall never run dry and may we never regret staying back

TamBari?
That's a typical Ogoni name!

there's a place in Kano called bare bari. I don't understand all these names

Make them no do oh. I de enjoy this light.

Ugo4hotish:
You're very stupid

Who be this one?

Reno talks too much for a man. Let Buhari government do and end so we'll see what he'll criticize next

She don reduce oh

That's 360 bucks for 450 words. It's alright.

So what's the benefit now. If not that you told you us the gown looked ordinary. Like one hired gown anywhere in Aba or Abuja

Eyah R.I.P to the dead.

Equal Opportunity? Na wa oh

obembet:
To me the project is useless. How can normal person construct flyover without roundabout?

If you are coming from Waterlines and u are going to Trans amadi.. U need to go CFC and turn before going to Trans amadi. Same problem at GRA, Rumuokro flyover...

There so many thing he can spend the money on... Rivers state have the most jobless youth after Almajiri. He's working in just 2 Out of 23 local government in rivers State, He's building unnecessary flyover where is not needed..

Rumola flyover...

GRA flyover...

Garrison flyover

CFC flyover...

And all this place is not up to what u can trek in 30sec.

I never see traffic in rivers that last for 20mins

Wike need to invest the money in something reasonable.

Useless as Buhari

Well said bro. But I've seen traffic for more than 30 mins in Port Harcourt. On multiple occasions.

All these research wey we no de see the head. Everybody wan cash out with govt money.

kalu61:
lgbos don't discriminate when it comes to investment.

Which is why they developed Lagos and Abuja and left Enugu to rot. I like their no discrimination policy.

The traffic congestion at Ada-george by Pepperoni and location is increasingly becoming unbearable. Yet no traffic light there and no plans for a flyover. Only Aba Road has 8 flyovers why Ada George is as wide as that road and even more promising but Wike is focused on one stretch. Can't he do a flyover in Omoku town must everything be in PH. Go to Delta they have towns competing with Asaba same with Anambra, Edo, and even Akwa Ibom. In Rivers once you delete PH, no one has any business in the state again.

I thought there's a flyover already in Kaduna Street junction. Does he wants to expand it or what? All these low flyovers sef. Can't he replicate one of the kinds seen in Kano? Abi Kano get money pass Rivers?

Pearly255:
He’s cute

of course

Make that VC come nairaland, e go suspend students tire till school go empty. The guys didn't even say much that could trigger anything of the sorts the VC was insinuating. And why will a school have only one bank?

mightyhazel:
Identities of the soldiers pls?

Go and ask Wike

BastardWike:
Someone I know, I mean a man who should be in his late 60's died in Oyigbo because of Wike's wickedness of imposing 24 hours curfew on innocent people for almost two weeks!! Who does such wickedness if not the devil himself??

The old man stepped on rusted nails while he was running within his compound due to gunshots and he became sick, all efforts to get medical attention to him failed and he died of tetanus!

What about the lady that was shot in the throat?

What about so many others that were killed? How would they identify who is IPOB and who is not?

Who made Wike the prosecutor and the executioner?

Was the killing of police men limited to Oyigbo alone? Why didn't other governors impose total lockdown on their people too and ask the army to go on a shooting spree of their respective citizens??

You must be a barberian to ask such senseless question.

Gee chill, the protests degenerated into all sorts of unfortunate incidents in Oyigbo. Police men and soldiers were killed, police stations burnt and even court building. And then it was almost turning to a tribal war between the Hausas and Igbos. Add all of that to soldiers coming to retaliate their fallen colleagues and imagine what would happen if everyone was allowed to move freely. Although the curfew lasted beyond normal, you should look at the precursors and stop blaming Wike. Oyigbo is not the only place with Igbos in Rivers. There was also curfew in Ikoku but things in Oyigbo heated up beyond control. You IPOB'S like crying fowl to gain international sympathy thanks to MNK and his antics. We know all these plots. Go and chill mbok.

Why are you losing sleep. The IPOB'S killed six soldiers and they're retaliating you're here blaming Wike.
