wtf...that place looks like syrians had a hugh party and all ran away overnight....

How was Benin when it was overrun by the Biafran soldiers?...Not like Syria because you cowards surrendered without any fight...

tsdarkside:
here we go again....always changin topic if the discussion is not going your way....

we talk about banana,you change to apples,
we talk about casava,you change to ugwu....

i dont understand what you igbos realy want....

What Igbos really want? Do they create the thread or you are blind not to see who opened it? How has this topic favored you? Did they beg you for land?

Great12m:
Edo state is almost bigger than all the 5 south east states, very soon all the land in south east will be occupied/filled with human activities and they will have no land to farm and they will come begging us in edo to please lease some land for them to farm to feed their biafra nation or they die of hunger. Haha

Yet Edo state fall under 24 hours when the Biafran soldiers passed through it to Ore

If Lagos can accommodate almost 18Million people, then SE will be big enough.

GreyLaw:
Not that one needs to reply to a thread dripping with ignorance, but we can note the following:

Land size:

Anambra: 4841
Imo: 5530
Ebonyi: 5670
Abia: 6320
Enugu: 7161.
Delta: 17698
Edo: 17802
Oyo: 28454 (Oyo is quite large. The largest in the SW)

The total for the SE is 29522. All measurements in Kilometer squared. For the sake of facts, how is Oyo bigger than the whole SE put together? How is Delta or Edo bigger than the SE put together, let alone a local government in any of these states bigger than the SE put together?

Moreover Delta and Rivers have large portions of land home to people of Igbo extraction. Nigeria is the 14th largest country in Africa yet is the most populated by far. Doesn't that teach you anything? In fact, the SE is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Well, not here to argue, just to present facts.

Nobody cares about any land mass. What have the north done with their land mass nor the west?

When I opened a thread on the region that contributes more of the $25 billion sent by Nigerians in the diaspora every year, the OP will closed it, but has allowed this useless thread to continue? The smallest region SE, contributes more than all the other regions. It contributes more than the entire 19 northern states.

Most liberal northerners are ashamed and embarrassed by Buhari's first term appointments.

Arewa Youth Assembly (AYA), the legislative arm of Arewa Youths Forum, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that he spreads the appointment into his next cabinet evenly across the country.

Arewa Youth Assembly (AYA), the legislative arm of Arewa Youths Forum, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that he spreads the appointment into his next cabinet evenly across the country.


It said the call became necessary following the criticism that greeted the appointments made by President Buhari in his first term, where some regions and groups alleged lopsided appointment.

The Youths in a rally held on Thursday in Abuja called on the President to look beyond party affiliation and appoint people who are competent and will also represent the various regions and groups in the country.

The Youths in a rally held on Thursday in Abuja called on the President to look beyond party affiliation and appoint people who are competent and will also represent the various regions and groups in the country.


The Speaker of AYA, Mohammed Salihu Danlami, while addressing journalists, said: “What the nation requires is mature nationalistic leadership that will accommodate all Nigerians and provide an all-inclusive fair treatment for all the divergent groups in the country on the basis of equality and fairness to everybody.

“As we approach the evenings of this tenure and are set for the commencement of the second tenure, we cannot but lend our voices to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that enemies of our collective forward voyage as a nation are not given any excuse to embark on their adversarial stock in trade.

“It is on this note that we herein use this medium to call on Mr President to ensure the even distribution of appointments in the next government that will be formed post-May 29th. Appointments in the Security Services, Ministerial Positions, Headship of Agencies and all such related appointments which require the intervention of the President.”

The youth group warned President Buhari against those who would want to misdirect him by advising that appointments should be based on the number of votes he got from each state and region.

“We are not unaware of the fact that those who thrive at dissent and national division are already spinning their yarn of misdirection and calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to make appointments based on the votes he got from the respective States and Regions.

“This position is totally antithetical to national integration, cohesion and unity. We, therefore, call on President Buhari to discountenance such negative calls that are not in the interest of the nation and ensure that these appointments are distributed equitably across the geopolitical zones on the basis of merit.

“An even spread of appointments is the surest key to national unity as this will silence the voice of those calling for secession,” Danlami said.

“We call on Mr President to place the nation first and above all other interests. Those that approach the plough board of national service with religious, regional or tribal sentiments should be shoved out the window.

“No region will be happy if they are consigned to the backwaters of our national leadership affairs. Inclusive governance, on the other hand, will unite the whole nation and thus no region will fold her arms and watch while crisis engulfs another region as we will see ourselves as one indivisible entity.

Ultimatezlant:
lol, like wtf do I enjoy seeing those malnourished children.

Dude I am both a Nigerian citizen as well as a permanent resident in Canada(soon to get my citizenship). Seems you are experienced in this career of bitterness you always see

You first accused me of not been educated until I layed out the fact.

Like what the f:ck concerns me and your pipeline history, just stop this irritating blackmail against the Nigeria government in terms of the war.

If you don't like them, then look away..shoooo? There are thousands of stories on Nairaland you can get busy with. You are just being eternally petty and mean. Can you tell what blackmail your Nigerian government is trying to hide by removing history lessons? If they were clean as you claim, why do that? Again thanks to the internet, people can review whatever they want to the chagrin of dark souls like you, who want atrocities to be buried forever!

Ultimatezlant:
You are entitled to your opinion, your shout of bitterness should actually be a reflection of the man you constantly see in the mirror.

I know I would be less perturbed about any of this spam if you do it in your personal blog or forum.

You shouting bitterness would not twich an inch if I also send you series of graphic images of casualties on the Nigeria side

Yes, like it was ensured that history is NEVER taught in schools, so you can't see these pictures. But thanks to the internet...Your bitterness and pain will continue, until you have the powers to stop the internet.

adekolaelect:
you spoke my mind thank you .

Can you show the picture of the python in Sambisa

Ultimatezlant:
Nigeria rule is not the topic of discussion here, it is about the rules set by this forum which you exist on, it is a general cyberspace rule that shouldn't be violated

Your bitterness has nothing to do with any rules...it has to do with this...take a look...


Thomas Sowell, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University and a renowned scholar on Races and World Economies wrote that, "Most of the great mindless slaughters of the 20th century -- whether of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, the kulaks in the Soviet Union, the Jews in Germany, the I[g]bo in Nigeria or the Tamils in Sri Lanka -- have been slaughters of those who dramatically eclipsed the accomplishments of others."

RichBoy247:
The pictures should remind Biafrans that if you pick up arms against the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you shall pay dearly for it.

Good, so allow them to celebrate them in peace. Like the Jews remember the Holocaust. What arms did the Jews pick...?

Ultimatezlant:
No, I am a Christian and only disgusted by the constant spamming against Nairaland rules for war misfits

Which rule?...What of Nigeria's rules that have been disobeyed time after time by its leaders? You have not shown such bitterness. Christian my foot.

Ultimatezlant:
you are the imp, this okija ritualist pastor.

Won't you people obey the rules of Nairaland and stop spamming the forum with banned content was all I stated

Evil, wicked, dark soul...

Ultimatezlant:
or maybe you are too ignorant to know that Rwanda crisis was an inter ethnic one

When people are going to school, you prefer to engage in drinking...What was Nigeria civil war...then? Why wasn't the Yorubas, the Ijaws and other tribe attacked in the crisis? Is that why history was removed from Nigeria schools?

Ultimatezlant:
If seun wasn't lenient all these malnourished children you posted to celebrate a secessionist group would have been closed down because i remember the forum was created for Nigerians not misfits at the losing side of a war

This is how your government is telling the SE people that they have moved on after the war...that they too should move...


"...The South East has the highest infrastructural deficit in the country.." Tony Momoh APC Chieftain.

Ultimatezlant:
If seun wasn't lenient all these malnourished children you posted to celebrate a secessionist group would have been closed down because i remember the forum was created for Nigerians not misfits at the losing side of a war

Bitter hypocrite!

Can you explain why your fake pastor VP went to Rwanda to celebrate and honor 150,000 people killed in their war but not able to do so for more than 3 million killed in his own country? Again mention anything the federal government has done to ensure these people that they have moved on. Nothing is there to show. Wicked Nigeria federal government.

tyup:
That's not even my problem.....why co-erce The south south into joining you guys

why? is because you guys got nothing

Using your logic...now that you have co-erce them...What do you have in terms of resources? You have Lagos-Ibadan new rail system and Abuja-Kaduna rail system..what did you give them that generate more than 80% of the money you spend Wicked people everywhere.

" If Buhari like let him impregnate my wife...I will vote for him and mobilze people in my constituncy ikoyi/Obalenda...Kunle Cole

tyup:
Not only Abia the whole of igbo land is Cursed

Anyway the Question goes to Igbo people. If las las the North is to consider zoning power to the SE plz o what will you even come to do

Don't you think its a madness to be shouting python dance up and down when the curse people want to leave the union of Nigeria, peacefully using referendum? Why would you kill yourself to retain cursed land? It would be good if you can check your sanity...

Guestlander:
Forget about Lagos, start from your villages. Aba is an eyesore, you can start from there.

My village is 10 million times better than that stretch of hell road. No part of Aba has that stretch of rotten hell road...and besides we are talking about the road leading to the best airport in the country. Comparing Lagos with Aba shows how empty and your height of cowardice. If na Igbos get those trucks, you Igbophobic people will come with... Igbos don't respect their HOST, after being accommodated, bla, bla, bla

Guestlander:
How about you leading the protests. You wouldn't, you will prefer to run to another place where the streets are clean even though you know in your mind the streets are not cleaned over there by aliens from outer space.
Make your own mark, gather like minded people together and protest rather than taking the cowardly way out by running away.

How will I led a protest in Lagos that belongs to the Yorubas...remember? You want Tinubu led by MC Olumo to kill somebody. You are the lazy and coward man here. Guess why you are helpless...It is because those trailers are owned by the northerners. If they were mainly Igbos, you igbophobic people would have chased them away ages ago. You know this is the truth.

timesup234:
go to time square in New York and see for yourself. It smells of piss and you can easily be choked. These white people just know how to hide it better. The poverty and hopelessness in the western world is comparable to that obtained in war torn Sudan or Syria. CNN did a good job damaging the reasoning faculty of most Nigerians

You are talking to people who see the world only through CNN. Time Square New York can never be like Oshodi-Apapa road. That road is a public health tragedy.

madjune:
Its true Nigeria is so hard to live in.

Must she rub it in people's faces?
What's with dropping the money on her face and saying the shit hurts?

She's in UK...and so what?

She's luckily there enjoying the products of another peoples good thinking and sweat.

Shefollow them develop that place? No shame.

She is right. Sometimes I wonder if all Nigerians have been bewitched that they cannot protest like in Sudan and Algeria.

Look at this road..Apapa Oshodi road linking the seaport terminals and the best airport in the country.

If you can show any pic of a place like these in war-torn. Libya, Afganistan, Syria, and Yemen I will send you N100,000 recharge card.

The road leads to hell, Even hell road should be neater...

[s][/s]

Dude, i hate LIARS that is my problem with you. Were the pictures you posted from any of the estates that you later listed? == NO!

Perhaps i went too far to say Ugwuanyi had Never developed any estate, but he had not performed as much as the tradition of a typical Governor of Enugu State would. Even WTC has less than 10 one-storey buildings which isn't even up to Loma Linda estates. Yet, we always thought Chimaroke was the worst in promoting new estates.

Did I mention any estate in my first post? How did I lie? You started the estate thing. I was on the development of sections of the city, but you barged in with estates. So far, I have not seen any lie. You don't expect everybody to follow your views or opinions. It's rude and shows a massive lack of home training and proper upbringing. It will be dangerous to pass it on.

cjrane:
As you for, Biko shut up!

Your own is just to put up deceit online and when you are challenged, you begin to yap rubbish. Putting up pictures of estates done by other Governors and passing them as Ugwuanyi's is deceitful. Someone talked about WTC, i have not challenged him yet, until i verify it's not a state government effort, then i will point it out. I don't challenge people if they are telling the truth.

Shut up? Do you tell people you don't know to shut up? You are one of the trolls and pests someone just mentioned.

I mentioned WTC and you crossed it without verifying...Something must have been chasing you. You had better cure your demons before they take better of you.

slimthugchimee2:
Ugwanyi opened WTC estate, there are others I have seen but I don't really know their named

Go to WTC estate and see how fast buildings spring up therr

Don't mind the chap. Most of them will sit in their houses in other states and saying what they don't know. I concede the fact that Ugwuanyi has not done much in Enugu city in terms of infrastructure like Umahi of Ebonyi state, but it will be a lie to say he didn't create any estate in Enugu.

cjrane:
[/s]

Dude STOP lying!

Ugwuanyi has NEVER started any estate in Enugu except in Nsukaa! Shame on you for claiming Heliu or even Jedidiah as Ugwuanyi's estates. Yes, he was Governor when they were built. But what was his contribution in helping land acquisition of even providing access roads for new developers to come to Enugu? == ZERO!

Tomorrow, i can see Buhari claiming he built the estates in Enugu because he was President when people built it to address housing deficit and he contributed ZERO to the effort to make it happen.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMma5w7oxks

I don't normally like to respond to people who cross other peoples comments. They come out as rude people with extreme low-self esteem. But I will reply you. The governor was instrumental in land acquisition for these estates...Heliu was even an acronym of his title... Can you tell how other governors created their estates like Golf, Liberty, and ZOO?

Family Homes Fund to boost cooperative housing

Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi


An ambitious effort to shore up the internally generated revenue base of Enugu state has begun in earnest, with the launch of a new town development along the Enugu-PortHarcourt Expressway that will yield over N1trillion to the coffers of the government.

The new layout, christened, Heliu residences (an acronym drawn from the name of the state governor, His Excellency Lawrence Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Heliu) is the first district being created by the state government since the creation of Enugu state, 25 years ago.

The new urban community, covering over 132 hectares of land, is divided into two with one section for the construction of 500 houses of a single family or twin family duplexes/bungalows to be solely financed by a Consortium led by FIT Consult and 500 plots of land for sale to individuals for development.

Speaking while unveiling the new district, located on Enugu south local government council, the Chief Executive Officer, FIT Consult

cjrane:
[b]Your picture is deceptive by posting older estates which predates this administration. The key burning issue today is about Government not being strategic in opening up more lands to make cost of land affordable. The Estates you see today at zoo gardens, Independence Layout Phase II and Golf Estates were possible because previous administrations worked hard to make them available in the past 10 - 15 years. Gov. Ugwuanyi's regime has not opened any new estates in Enugu city, except a few he opened at Nsukka where his priority lies anyway.

If you don't know, it is possible to ask before making wrong aspersions. My intent was not on who created the estate, but to show that the estates are being developed by individuals.

Saying the Ugwuanyi didn't create any estate, means you are ignorant. These are the estates created by his administration in Enugu. Completion of their development is a different thing altogether.

1. Heliu Estate

2. Ranger Phase 2

3. Valley Estate

4. Citadel Estate

5. Transparency Estate

6. WTC Estate.

Good people THINK home is still the way to go....Invest in the east. It's better to start now, as delay may be painful later. As you can see, property investment is booming...In doing so you will be creating jobs.

teufelein:
This is Enugwu. Here is called Hundred foot road. The road leads to Nsukka.
This didn't happen just today. The road has been bad and nothing was done to maintain it. Just see its state today, it has finally split into 2 decimal places. Mistakenly someone dies here, everyone will start calling Devil or blaming God for allowing it.
We play too much here. Government, my Government.

Op please stop misleading people. This pic is not from Enugu state.

So, in this article, I will present to you five things Biafrans invented during the civil war using Igbo technology.

1. Uli Airstrip: Although Igbos were cut-off from the rest of the world during the civil war, their ingenuity came to the fore as they constructed the Uli airstrip and when that airstrip was bombed, they repaired it in record time and under the most trying circumstances. They would go on to repair Uli not once and not twice using Igbo technology.

2. Fuel from palm fruit: The Igbos refined petrol from a variety of non-fossil fuels, including from but not limited to palm products (from which they also produced diesel).

3. War Missiles (Ogbunigwe): Using the same Igbo technology, my fellow countryman – Gordian Ezekwe – manufactured surface to air missiles which Igbos also adapted to surface to surface missiles.

4. Fighter Jets: The Igbos are the only tribe to convert commercial planes to fighter jets and weaponized them. That was no mean feat in 1967.

5. Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC): Using not but Igbo technology, the Igbos built the first indigenous armored personnel carrier in Black Africa is the Red Devil during the Nigerian Civil War.

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan once said: “In fact, when in 2012, the Nigerian Army rolled out the igirigi and promoted it as the first indigenous armored personnel carrier, they were wrong.

“I am not a Biafran. I am proudly Nigerian. And beyond that, I am a proud dark skinned Black African yet I make bold to say that the igirigi is not the first indigenous APC.

“The Nigerian Civil War ended in January 1970 and the Nigerian Army unveiled the igirigi in July of 2012. If they had converted the Red Devil to their own use, they would probably be talking about a greater feat in the year 2012.

“That is where we failed as a nation.

“This is why I was so disgusted with the minister of science and technology, Ogbonnaya Onu for aspiring, on Nigeria’s behalf, to produce pencils by 2018! I mean this man is the first civilian governor of the old Abia state which today encompasses both Abia and Ebonyi states.”

Using the same Igbo technology I have been talking about, on a flipside, there is hardly anything including electronics, pharmaceuticals, spirits and wines that the Igbos cannot counterfeit today. (Imanuel Jannah)

QuotaSystem:
You traced your issues back to Awolowo in the 50's so yes, that was a grudge you presented not me.

Winning elections in those places actually buttresses my point as they are able to do so there because they behave themselves abroad. Let Igbos/IPOB start consistently calling London no man's land, or call Britain a zoo on several media like they do in Nigeria and see if any Igbo man smells the ballot in those places ever again.

You cannot insult, deride or deliberately provoke your hosts and live in peace with them. Anywhere. QED.

You still find this thing too difficult to understand. Are you saying that Igbos started losing elections in Lagos because they provoke their host? When did this provocation start? You are just being smart by half or plainly mischievous. The truth is the historical fact...an not any grudge.

I also see that you skipped the part of Miyetti Allan and Ipob. Is that also a grudge?
