The woman should be arrested and jailed immediately, forgery is a serious crime.

SoNature:
Before you call be afonja, I am proudly Nwa afo.

Yes, Jonathan was a terrible president

Nigeria deserves better than both Jonathan and Buhari

Afonja

What has he done? Nothing.

But you saw a gentleman president and ran to APC. Enjoy your change Tambuwal.

Some churches are not worthy to be called churches. How can you do wedding without getting the full consent of the family, you have not paid bride price and you are doing wedding with the girl?

Who is giving out the girls hand in marriage? Nobody.

This marriage is null and void. A proper taboo in Igboland.

Pavore9:
Can you encourage any member of your family to go scoop fuel for any excuse?

The 1998 Jesse pipeline explosion that killed over 1000 people, was it APC government?

You are waiting for the deaths to equal the PDP deaths first abi? Typical APC heartlessness

Many people are afraid to vote in the north, am sure you all know why.

There was a country.

All die na die, stay in their house and die of hunger or go get burnt to ashes, APC government, see ya life?

Good.

GavelSlam:
Until you begin to see video footage of the Godfather abi?

Yes, the faces of the killer herdsmen.

He said Osinbaba is sitting down and looking like a MUMU while the killings are going on

GavelSlam:
I know they must have played phone call and video recordings of somebody that got released recently to CAN.

Are they radio DJ s that play records?

We need arrests of the killer herdsmen and their jailing, not recorded lies.

They should also remove names of small children registered in the north.

Guestlander:
Expose them, bring charges against them.

No, media trial will suffice, throwing baseless accusations like primary school kids.

How did we end up with these jokers in Aso rock?

Guestlander:
A British author wrote something similar before our independence from Great Britain.

He must be feeling very stupid now.

The writer was joking. Superpower only among nations doing nothing about slaughtering its own people.

Abagworo:
Nigeria doesn't have it but Nigeria is a much bigger country with better opportunities hence more advantaged despite similar situation.

The size of Nigeria is the first major problem it has. Nigeria is large and slow that people might be dying in one end and people from the other end cannot even hear it.
Nigeria is so large that it has become too slow and clogged up with underdevelopment
Nigeria is so large that scarce resources gets snatched by the leaders for selfish reasons and some might never find out.
Nigeria is so large that things can never work in it.

That's why we need our own country where everyone understand each other and we can have more opportunities to better ourselves without being pulled back by your northern brothers who are hell bent on returning to the 18th century lifestyle.

NIGERIA HAS REALLY HELD THE IGBO PEOPLE DOWN SINCE INDEPENDENCE.

Who founded Aiye and pirates?

Again?

OMANBALA1:
Why are you comparing yourself to people who are equally doing the wrong thing. Aspire to be better. So, you will feel better about your substandard projects just because other regions are equally building substandard projects ?? What happens if we design the best buildings in the world ? Are European super humans , even Kenyans.

"A tale of two cities" was a book I loved to read as a kid,

I didn't mention any body name o

Abagworo:
APC will give Nigeria restructuring and Igbo President. Nigeria is already on the move towards greatness and in a few months time those politicians behind the killings and their sponsors will be apprehended for the good of all. Biafra is not an option without Igbos in Southeast being united 1st of all. I was once an advocate of Igbo republic but I changed my mind after realizing we can't have a workable Igbo republic that will be merit based, equality based and justice to all.

But you are an advocate of Nigeria? Does Nigeria have the bolded qualities you listed?

Na wao

This is serious!

Lie lie bloggers everywhere, "found dead" and yet no bodies found? This is gossip.

It may even be someone footwear that fell into the gutter and the good neighbours are helping the woman look for it in the attached picture.

Timeline of the development of Onitsha City (Colonial Era Onitsha 1900-1960)

By the end of the 19th Century and early 20th Century, Onitsha City developed rapidly along the Niger: Onitsha had become a British Administrative town and hence British offices and European residents had started sprouting at the Ozalla – an area south of Onitsha, down to the Anambra River, and water through by the Nkisi Stream. The area was called “European Quarters” (Present-day GRA, Onitsha). The Sierra Leoneans and new Onitsha converts developed and lived in Ogbe Umu Onicha; the Hausas owned Ogbe Awusa; the Nupes lived in Ama Nupe while tribes of present-day Delta State inhabited Ogbe-Ijaw (Ogbe Ukwu). The Eastern Igbos came after the development of the new waterside city (Otu Onitsha).

1900 – Onitsha becomes part of the British colonial Southern Nigeria Protectorate.

1902 – The Roman Catholic Mission had its first major success in the Inland Town as young Irish Priest, Fr. Joseph Shanahan establishes the Ogboli Mission. The Ogboli Mission would later grow to become present-day’s indigenous St. Mary’s Church.

1906 – The Southern protectorate united with Lagos and were divided into Eastern Province (Capital In Calabar), Central Province (Capital in Warri) and Western Province (Capital in Lagos). The Central Province included the Onitsha District (roughly all of Present-day Anambra State) and had a District Officer residing in the town and overseeing the district (there were Assistant District Officers though – One lived in Nnewi). The most popular D.O in Onitsha was Captain D. O’Connor.

c. 1906 – First Bridge built across the Nkisi Stream. The Marina road may have been constructed during the same period. Other roads constructed between 1906 and the 1920s are Old Market Road and New Market Road (connecting the trade points to the rest of the region), Egerton Road (named after Sir Walter Egerton Governor of Southern Nigeria), Moor Street (After first Governor of Southern Nigeria Ralph Moor), Venn Road (Maybe named after anti-slavery Anglican priest Henry Venn) etc.

1910s – American companies and missionaries arrive Onitsha. They developed and lived in the area north of the Ose Okwuodu Market and south of the Inland Town bordering the European Quarters. The area is till date called “American Quarters.”

1920s – Odoakpu develops. From the name, the place was originally a huge farm of cassava. But as the city expanded from the Waterside Odoakpu would be caught in the urban sprawl. Onitsha men, including sons of wealthy Onitsha man, Modebe, (Modebe Avenue bears the family name) began investing in real estate. Soon, Odoakpu had become the new quarters for neighboring Igbo towns, especially the Nnewi people who became the commercial gurus in the city.

1925 - First secondary school in Igboland Nigeria, Dennis Memorial Grammar School is established by the CMS. The school is named after Archdeacon TJ Dennis.

1930s – Fegge develops. As the population of Onitsha began increase with the rapid influx of the Eastern Igbos, the Government felt the need to plan a new layout. This new gridwork layout was built at the site the Nupes had stayed for decades. Fegge may be derived from the Nupe language but the Europeans called this area “Foreigners’ Layout”.

1933 - First Catholic Secondary school, Christ the King College is established in Onitsha by Archbishop Charles Heerey.

1942 - the First all girls mission school, Queen of the Rosary College opens in Onitsha.

1945 – After World War 2 (called Agha Burma in Onitsha and other parts of Igboland -since the British Nigeria joined the British Army and where positioned at Burma/Myanmar) , the Nigerian colonial administration was still dynamic. As at 1945, Onitsha Province existed (Most parts of present-day Anambra and Enugu States where under Onitsha). The Divisions under the Onitsha Province include Awka, Awgu, Onitsha and Nsukka Divisions. Other Provinces in Eastern Nigeria were the Owerri Province, Rivers Province, Calabar Province and Ogoja Province.

1949 – Onitsha Native Authority began a project to reconstruct Main Market. Before then the market lacked shops as the structures that scattered the whole place were just corrugated iron sheets roofed with palm mats. The market was getting congested, lacked organization and posed chaos on the city.

1952 – Government of Eastern Nigeria gives the approval for the reconstruction of Main Market.

1956 – the actual rebuilding of the Main Market began.
1958 - the city is enjoying self-goverance within the Eastern Region of Nigeria away from Britain.

Late 1950s - Onitsha has become a model. Apart from the Otu Onitsha (Waterside city) region, the Enu Onitsha (Inland Town) has started developing rapidly with European styled buildings within the town. The present-day principal axis from the DMGS roundabout - Awka Road, Oguta Road, Upper New Market Road and Ozalla Road - was already in place. A Road (possibly Old Enugu-Onitsha Road) has connected Onitsha to the now Coal-rich Capital of the Region Enugu. The Water works was already functioning up the Nkisi Stream, providing water for the Onitsha municipality. Parks, hotels and clubs makes the city lively. Preparations are being made to construct a bridge over the Niger to connect the Eastern and Western Regions in Onitsha and Asaba respectively. The system of crossing over the River Niger is by the use of ferries or cheaper Ponteau raft (logs of woods that may float in water)

1960 - Nigeria gains independence as Onitsha celebrates her great son, Nnamdi Azikiwe.

I am enjoying this. Keep it coming.

mistacoco:
you don't need to argue with him. Its obvious he's jealous with the way development is springing up in the whole southeast state.

The other day he was in Imo state thread talking thrash. He has never said any good thing about the southeast, with his numerous monikers on this forum.

He's dirty Yoruba bigot.

I wonder how one can feel so bitter at other ppl progress. This is the problem with Nigeria.

We will neither retreat, nor surrender
