You have zero business acumen...

A hotel is a business so has to be situated where it can remain viable.

Enugu and Port Harcourt for obvious reasons were the practical places where the investment could have been made in the 60s.

It was a house built by men from the East...It was condemned to be a house of wisdom and shrewdness...

Calabar the fomer capital of Southern Nigeria with a port is a poor choice of building a hotel?

My grandmother was born in calabar oh because her mom who my great grand ma was a trader.

I swear this guy get formula for head pass some of those Yahoo boys.

Dedetwo:
You are the type of character who would have claimed and swore with the gods of osun that Awolowo was the premier of western region in 1951. In addition, that Awolowo developed western region with three or four years he was the premier of western region. I suggest you take your nonsense somewhere else.

That is your headache but your myth has been busted

Asgard13:
With cocoa

Oga sing that to the birds...
Wetin Awolowo do for Midwest people....

I no be choir..

If nothing tell say nothing.. we go pass..


No Dey cArry poff poff shoulder up.. Yoruba pride no help any person

Cocoa house was finished in 1965 when Midwest had already left West.

Asgard13:
Oga so the British developed obudu ... what’s the name of the British people that worked in established obudu and worked out..

Oga shey you are fighting with Google? Obudu founders are well stated on numerous sources on the internet.

I know lying is your trade, So.Zik is no longer premier in 1950?

Asgard13:
Jargons!

I repeat bloody jargons! After milking mid west you brought this as achievements

You even check the year

Oga you gat nothing

Wetin Awolowo do for Midwest and don’t bring this nonsense online again

Behave!

No levels ...

Oh we don't milk because our land was almost twice bigger than Edo and Delta

Only Oyo state land mass is 28,000 km with Delta and Edo 34,000 km. if I add Ondo to Oyo state we will have 40000km

We sr

Amarabae:
you are pained dear, he backed up his claim with a tangible visual evidence, you have no evidence, just making noise up and down. pathetic

If you pained, don't worry I am not yet done with you
I have started.

ahaz:
name what awo did for the urhobis,ijaws,itsekiris,the Edo's,the aniomas,we are waiting

Here is reference to a article published by a scholar i. e researcher on Western region where he specifically referenced How the government built Hospitals in Warri province and introduced them to modern health care

[quote author= post=89845434]Obudu cattle ranch resort was established by eastern development commission[/quote]YES, years before Eastern commission was established

Bonessaw:
At least the farmlands employed thousands of natives. From Ogoja cocoa plantations to Rivers palm plantation down to Obudu cattle ranch, Ikot Ekpene, Ikom etc, food remained in the table of people and the industrial might of the east brough Malaysian and Indonesians to our shore to shop for palm kernels in commercial quantity. Today, that same palm oil is feeding Malaysia while Nigeria made sure the east died agriculturally.

Yes, they employed them to work on the Farm like black Americans, while igbos dined in the luxury hotels of Enugu and Port.

Abi, they are the only ones good for farm work?

gwafaeziokwu:
I don't mind teaching you. What are nairalanders for

When you hear 1950s it means between 1950 -1959, 1960s means between 1960-1969. Hope you get the gist. You are welcome

Olohun you are extremely slow

So Buhari was head of government from 2010 to 2020 based on your logic

[quote author= post=89843983]What's the name and evidence of the wood plant he established in Sapele, your brother once lied about Royal palm Hotel Benin I busted him[/quote]You like you lie shamelessly about Obudu cattle ranch?

[quote author= post=89843798]The wood processing Factory was established in 1925, list the hospital and schools Awolowo built Midwest[/quote]Was it established by UAC in 1925 or was it already the largest then?

[quote author= post=89843652]List Awolowo legacy projects and locations[/quote]I presume you are blind

[quote author= post=89843626]Can you mention the hospitals and school he built in Midwest Polywood- and veneer-manufacturing plant in Sapele, one the largest in western Africa was established in 1925, Awolowo is still a baby then [/quote]So they could not establish another one larger by 1960s ?

1925 to 1960 is 45 years oh

Hope you have a brain in your head sir?

gwafaeziokwu:


Please those that have better understanding should come and tell me the difference between 1950s and 1954

Four years

Do you know that was exactly the time Awolowo and Zik was president and just two years short of when Jonathan was president

It takes the same time for a person to get a university degree

And our bone of contention was Obudu which was founded by British business men.

Don't you know date and time

[quote author= post=89840646]I was waiting for list the of Awolowo legacy projects in Midwest you ended up disappointing me, please can you show me where I wrote Rice mill was established in Cross River, or you don't understand the meaning of Rice cultivation

Kindly read [/quote]You mean your fake blog

We should take information from your fake blog ?

Edc or whatever turned the South into Zik farm

They were feeding you.

gwafaeziokwu:


This one opened a thread without any arsenal to back up his poor attempt at outright mischief.

Please there is a question hanging in the air, WHAT ARE THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS CARRIED OUT BY AWOLOWO IN THE MIDWESTERN REGION.

At least you have seen the once built in the Eastern Nigeria minority provinces. Let us see yours!

Oya google Sapele Wood processing factory built by Uac. The largest in Africa at the time

Google the Nigerian leader to introduce the universal basic education to the Nigerian system.

[quote author= post=89840835]Zik was Premier of Eastern Nigeria in the 1950s, he established Eastern Development Commission, Obodu cattle ranch was established and developed by the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation (ENDC) under the then South-Eastern State[/quote]Stop lying shamelessly

Internet is readily available

Zik only became a premier when Eastern region was established in 1954

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nnamdi_Azikiwe

[quote author= post=89840904]Can you list Awolowo legacy projects in Midwest [/quote]Hope you have eyes

If you have eyes, you would see where I listed his achievements even when he was only premier for five years before going to Lagos

He built the largest Wood processing industry in Sapele.

He built schools and Hospitals..

He didn't turn Edo and Delta into his farm land like Zik

gwafaeziokwu:
I don't blame for calling you guys polytechnic graduates.

It is a shame that you do not understand the aim of the thread you aim to counter with this your poor attempt

You and your ilk are yet to get the memo; your propaganda against the east can no longer stand. We want to be jugded going forward by what we did and not by what someone said we did.

Are you smart at all?

How did your post counter my argument?

How does It counter the fact that you treated minorities badly?

Are plantation the alleged factories or Industrial development you caimed you developed for minorities?

Shenedu this is not spare parts businesses discussion

[quote author= post=89842579]Eastern Region established a second cement plant in Calabar Cross River state [/quote]In 1965 when you already afraid they could leave you.

What happened from 1954 to 1964 when you had enough to build luxury hotels in Enugu and port?

Seerade029:
Wonder why Dilector keep dragging SS with him?

Probably he and his family enjoyed SS resources cos Eastern region were using SS resources to built Abia

They want to continue milking the South South from where they stopped.

They have not been able to progress from where they stopped

gwafaeziokwu:
Stick to the arguement and do not deviate. The question was wether the eastern government spread development across the Eastern region. You were schooled on that fact and now you want dogde by asking if establishing plantation was an achievement since every region has it. The question remain, if the Eastern region embarked on plantations as a way of boosting the economy of the eastern region, did each province get their share? Here below is your answer.

What am I suppose to see here?

That plantation were expanded or that other regions didn't expand their own plantations to increase revenue as well?

Please bruv, always mention with something reasonable.

Thanks

EasternActivist:
See how foolish you sound as if SS(except Benin) and SE existed separately then.

Southern Nigeria as it were before 1908,

Go and read a book

EasternActivist:
I have nothing to explain to you, everyone knows that Agriculture was like a goldmine then, Mr Afonja how the land was managed was none of your business.
I thought you where screaming awofrog achievement earlier.. You for continue to expose how inferiority complex is dealing with you guys.

It Is quite shameful that your mission here is to recruit those that will join you in hating the Igbos. Una go fail again insh'allah

Which inferiority complex?

See! you can delude yourself as much as you want with the hope that minorities in the South have short memories and would not remember how they had to travel for hours to Umahia, Enugu and Port to see civilization. or how they worked on your plantations like a slave in South America to fund your budget to build fancy building in Enugu, Aba and Port.

Nonetheless, the moment you brought Yorubas into your fancy, you should know you are already fighting a loosing battle.

The moment you believe your failures would be hidden by tagging Yorubas along, you have made a terrible mistake because we will continue to remind them how you took them for ride

pazienza:
Eastern region was created on 1939 with the capital at Enugu.
Calabar was never the capital of Eastern region for once.

If Anything, Lagos displaced Calabar as the capital of Southern Nigeria when Southern protectorate (SE and SS) whose capital was in Calabar was merged with Lagos colony (SW) whose capital was in Lagos.
After this merger in 1906, Calabar was displaced as the capital of Southern Nigeria, and it has remained so ever since then.

@ emboldened is a terrible lie

Southern Nigeria was not only limited to S/S and South West

Majority of Ondo and some places in Yoruba land were always under southern Nigeria.

Why was the second capital Umahia?

Calabar, Yenogoa and rest were only good as farm lands?

EasternActivist:
Op don't derail your thread, let posterity be the judge. Am even amazed Igbos treated the minorities this right in contrary to the story that has been passed down to innocent generations.

God dey sha

Treated them well by turning their land into your farmland

pazienza:
How many did Awolowo open at Benin or Itsekiri that Yorubas claim both as part of Oodua commonwealth?

None!

Hotels?

How many hotels did Awolowo built?

He built school and health centres

We gave them free Education and free health care we did no milk their land to build fancy hotels in our land or turn their land into our farm land.

Unlike the igbos, Yoruba actually had a larger land mass than the minorities.

Seerade029:
Gbam!
Absolutely True.
That's why we have the results today.
And nah them dey rush us.

Best Federal University --- SW --- UI --- Oyo

Best State University --- SW -- LASU -- Lagos

Best Private University --- SW -- Covenant --- Ogun

Best Federal Poly --- SW -- Yabatech -- Lagos

Best State poly --- SW --- Laspotech / Polytechnic Ibadan --- Lagos / Oyo

Best College of education --- SW --- Adeyemi -- Ondo

Best University of technology --- SW --- Ondo

Best University of Medical science -- SW --- Ondo

Best University of Agriculture --- SW --- Ogun.

And they keep boarding the next God is good bus to run away from their region to the west

pazienza:
The good thing about ENDC projects is that they were usually privatized immediately after being set up.
Probably because they have noticed the penchant of government managed institutions to die off.

The East had pragmatic leaders .
Government has no business running businesses.
They should only serve as regulatory bodies.

Immediately Golden Guinea brewery and PH Glass industry was set up, they were privatized.
Same was done to the palm oil estates, hotel presidentials and other set ups.
This was why the setups were efficient.

Set up after the Midwest already separated from West and East were afraid they would soon be next and become land locked


Meanwhile, why Porthacult? Why not Uyo, Yenogoa or Calabar?

Is their land only good for plantations?

Seerade029:
.

Even the British were surprised at the massive development in SW, they have not choice than to invest

Abi we were not investing heavily in plantations elsewhere to turn our land to New York.

We invested in Education for everyone..

Mandela once said "Education is a powerful tool that can change the world"
