IDENNAA:
Busy writing nonsense. My comment was meant to critique UNN , a school built by an Anambra man which we also comprise the vast majority of the earliest instructors that shaped the school academic culture. My post was not to compare them because I am know the age and history of UNN. If the school was well managed it should fighting with University of Ghana.

While you are busing hyping an obviously failed University none of the jamb candidate who were the very best chose UNN. Do you still believe your source is accurate ? Afia oma na ele onwie. For instance, evey Anambra state's secondary school student wants to atrend QRC, DMGS , CKC and this is for a reason. Out of the ten best jambites, the four Igbo amongst them chose SW Universities. Reality check !

While in Lagos, most easterners want to go to UNN! So quit spewing trash.

Was it with Ziks money or anambra money that UNN was built? Again, stop this division you are causing!

With all your nonsense, igbos from ALL SE and even SS states have contributed to the development of UNN so shut the hell up.

What if I said it was the Premier of the east, MI Okpara, an Abia man that managed UNN, or it was Prof Eni Njoku, an Abia man that was the first black VC of UNN that brought indigenous know-how in running the university, WILL YOU DARE SPEAK? Enough of this INSECURITY AND STUPIDITY DUDE, IT WONT HELP YOU.

UMUAHIA1stson:
What's this one yapping about? I am from Abia state, lets discuss our cursed Abia state.

Abia state is the worst state in Nigeria. All the eastern states are by far better than the shithole Abia state.

Mention any state that is worse off than Abia state in Nigeria.

It's your village in Anambra that is cursed not abia

Go and discuss Evans, Invictus obi and the drug pushers littered all over the world spoiling Igbo people's name.

UMUAHIA1stson:
Biafra, Abia State and the Crisis of a Misdiagnosed Ailment

1. There is a reason so many of us are skeptical about and Independent Biafra and what awaits it should it be actualised in the nearest future.

2. Would Biafra be different from Nigeria if we have characters like Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu at the helm of affairs?

3. Let's state a few things that are not in doubt: If the Republic of Biafra is proclaimed today, Chinedu Orji, the son of Theodore Orji would have more money (in any currency) than Nnamdi Kanu or Uche Mefor.

4. Orji Uzor Kalu would have more people following him than the numbers behind "Emma Powerful" if an election is called in the Biafra Republic.

5. Okezie Ikpeazu's taste for expensive alcohol and other things of the flesh would not abate if he stumbles into an administrative position in our beloved new Republic.

6. So with Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu in vantage positions to win leadership positions in Biafra, the outcome would not be hard to predict.

7. Mountains of refuse would remain prominent in every street in Aba. Umuahia will remain in its pre-independence status with no public water supply, narrow roads and poorly built houses.

8. This now begs the question: if Biafra will be ruled (in part) by the very same men who wrecked Abia state in the last 21 years, why do we find millions of young men insisting that Biafra holds the key to our redemption?

9. Now this is not an argument in support of one Nigeria but if ever a case would be made against Biafra, Abia state should be the most striking.

10. What has happened in the last 21 years in Abia state in the name of governance is nothing short of tragic. The entire place was hijacked by criminals in 1999 and ever since, men with less than wholesome intents have dominated public offices.

11. Now there often is a side of the catastrophe playing out in the state that few hardly talk about: the active support of the citizenry to a blind rape of their collective destiny by barely masked criminals.

12. In 1999, Anambra also saw itself under the reign of a do-nothing governor (Chinweoke Mbadinuju) muscled by an overbearing godfather. But the people rose in one accord and said "never again." By 2003 they elected a certain Peter Obi who remains the best governor Nigeria has seen since 1999.

13. Even when Mr Obi's mandate was stolen by the same criminal elements that kept Anambra on its knees in the years preceding the election, the people never lost hope. They believed they were too big to be suffocated by a few money bags.

14. All the religious groups in the state, community leaders, heads of market unions, students and youths came together and rejected Chris Ngige, telling him to his face that he was a thief.

15. Not for once did we hear that an Idemili man or some traditional rulers mobilised youths and occult doctors to plant coffins at strategic locations in the state to warn those who rejected Ngige that they would die.

16. Even when it was obvious that the people view him with disdain, Chris Ngige continued working for the state, clearing Mbadinuju's mess and giving the people a reason to believe that the government can work for them.

17. Ngige spent almost three years in various courts as Peter Obi battled to recover his mandate. His long sourjourn in the court did not stop him from paying salaries as at when due or fixing roads.

18. Compare what obtained in Anambra during those turbulent years to what we find in Abia. If you compare the disposition of the Anambra elites and masses to leadership with what you find in Abia, you will agree with me that Abia's woes run beyond Okezie Ikpeazu's incompetence, Theodore Orji's mediocrity or Orji Kalu's criminality.

19. While Ndi Anambra battled for the soul of their state, the Abia masses simply cheered on and watched on as men who were mostly paupers before May 29 1999 turned their state to a private fiefdom and made no attempt to distinguish between government treasury and their back pockets.

20. Consider also that our religious leaders, community elders and youths have actively goaded the desecration of governance in Abia state and then you get a proper sense of the extent of the depth of the rot in the state.

21. Abia's problems are deep but not intractable. Sadly, few understand what the issues are. Okezie Ikpeazu and a tiny cabal from his clan can afford to steal the state blind because there is no one to challenge them, nobody ask questions and those who do keep quiet whence they are "settled."

22. Theodore Orji and his son are not perturbed about the hundreds of billions reportedly found in their bank accounts because they know that they have the state on lock. Nobody can challenge or question them. Remember that much of the funds in these accounts may have been pulled directly from the public treasury.

23. It is an indictment on all of us that in the whole of Igboland, Abia is the only state where no proper recruitment has been done in the last 21 years to employ teachers for rural schools. It is a shame that we go on acting as if we are ignorant of what happens in these schools and how our children "pass" their WAEC and NECO.

24. People shudder when they see images of the decay and rot in Aba. What they do not know is that Aba's problems are much more enormous than the heaps of refuse that liter the streets. The mindset of the average individual in that city has been so corrupted that many now accept dirts as being synonymous with development.

25. Abia in the estimation of many is a lost case. Hundreds of billions that accrued to the state in the last 21 years have ended up in the pockets of its leaders. Most people who express interest in leadership are only keen in what they can steal, not how they can serve.

26. Government in Abia state over the last five years has become nothing but organised crime. Sadly, it is not only the politicians in Umuahia that are involved in this racket. Abia elites in Lagos, Abuja and in several other parts of the world are involved in it. While the elders are fed on the blood tonic system, the youths have their names in various ghost worker schemes in ministries and agencies.

27. So how would Biafra be different amidst these moral crises in a major part of the would-be nation? Is Okezie Ikpeazu with a Ph. D different from a Muhammadu Buhari without secondary school certificate? So why would anyone choose the fury of the furnace over the heat of the oven?

29. Yes. The evil political system and mindset in Abia invite us to take a deeper reflection on our political leadership system in Igboland and how to extricate ourselves from what has become an intricate mess. How do we claim to be better than the almajiris of northern Nigeria if we share the same herd mentality? If the north have a Yahaya Bello and we have an Okezie Ikpeazu; doesn't that tell you that we may have exaggerated our superiority as a people?

30. Today is not one of celebration. We should reflect. Have we really done our best in the last 21 years in terms of promoting quality leadership and calling out portraits of incompetence like Okezie Ikpeazu?

31. Changing our destiny is in our hands. We must however seek a better understanding of the problem before throwing out half baked solutions. Biafra will not change our situation unless...,

32. Are you in doubts? Now pray; has power shift from Bende to Umuahia and now Obingwa changed the fortunes of Abia teachers, pensioners or traders?

Engage me in the comments section

As usual, a beautiful lengthy piece of trash.

Unfounded Allegations. Narcissistic Observation. Manipulative assertions.

80% of drug criminals of Igbo descent are from where? Google and help yourself so you can use your own mouth to answer the question.

Evans, Invictus Obi, name them......name the dubious men spoiling our image abroad. They are from where?

Shame on you impostor! leave Abia alone. They have challenges sure, but demonizing them won't help your destiny. Fix anambra first before you speak.

Oh yes....yes....Anambra is a success and Abia is a failure right? Well you are condemned to swim in your own opinion.

Why?

A Biafra will never take in the politicians who didn't fight nor stood for the biafran cause, just as postwar igbos see Zik as an inconsequential "before-before" statesman.

Secondly, 80% of the drug criminals of Igbo descent are mainly from ANAMBRA, haven't you googled it? sure you won't. Anambarians are progressive Puritans right? Nonsense!

In all, NO EASTERN STATE IS "BETTER" THAN THE OTHER. There is nothing anambra has that abia lacks.

evuna:
The last VC was from Anambra, the present VC is from Anambra. and you are still calling Enugu people out.

Anambra made so much noise when an imo state person assumed the VC position few years back.

Don't mind them. They are naturally insecure

TEDHorsePower:
This clown from dead Abia state so you don finally get you voice. When we start now, you will start claiming victim. Who invited you here as a judge?


[s][/s]

Did you steal my voice before?


It's even stupid to think that your ELDORADO state is better than Abia.

evuna:
Oga stop lying. I witnessed it first hand. They left him when they could not have their way.


Instead of you to caution your brother for saying that Enugu people ran unn aground, you are saying another thing.

Don't mind him my brother, it's his nature, so insecure and so inferior.

IDENNAA:


Nwanne, I love what you do for our fathers land , Anambra and I often praise and bless your days , but ezi okwu bu ndu. You are saying that the mere fact that these bright minds choice of university is a coincidence, even the fact that 99% chose sw universities? I have been paying attention to university pictures posted by sw guys and the ones you posted and I was disturbed. Our universities and crap compared to sw ones. I even had a heated conversation with Oliaku mu who is a lioness and challenged her to prove me wrong about the dilapidated se universities and she couldnt. I am even surprised that the most outstanding university in se is Unizik! Shocking because unizik is relatively new compared to "almighty" UNN. Sad!

What about Anambra state University that Obi dumped over 4 billion naira into before leaving office. Obiano was not what I expected, after all. Anambra state university should be one of the best in the nation because WE ARE SIMPLY THE OMANBALAS...No room for failures!

Quit masturbating in your delusion

At no time is UNIZIK better in ANY WAY than UNN.

School gate does not connote academic excellence. Only 3 schools in Nigeria have maintained constant appearance in The Higher Times University ranking. They are

- UI
- COVENANT
- UNN

This isn't webometrics or 4icu, this is Higher Times...a simple google will cure your delusion

So quit making baseless and divisive statements.

The first University in Nigeria was the UNIVERSITY of NIGERIA, NSUKKA founded in 1960

UI became UI in 1962 (or 1963)

RemoveKebab:
Awo should have just actualize Oodualand earlier
What an utopia SW would have been.

Now we are paying for that mistake in managing the backwardness from all other regions.

He wouldn't dare, because UI was not established by him nor the western region.

Infact, the first VC of UI was a professor Kenneth Dike, an igbo man

Collinsemegreat:
The University of Ibadan is a public research university in Ibadan, Nigeria. The university was founded in 1948 as University College Ibadan, one of many colleges within University of London. It became an independent university in 1963 and is the oldest degree awarding institution in Nigeria.

Attached are photos from the 1960s

University of Ibadan was ESTABLISHED in 1962.

what you are seeing was UNIVERSITY COLLEGE IBADAN, an affiliate of UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

UI in effect was the first degree awarding institution, NOT the first University in Nigeria. It had no VC or Senate, what it had was a college principal. Please Google it o

Mraphel:
Orji uzor kalu stole to be the richest Igbo man in Nigeria and to be enlisted among the richest in Nigeria but Igbo people celebrated him for making the list to massage their egos.

Any easterners insulting Tinubu is out of deep inferiority complex

lies....orji kalu was a billionaire before getting into office. He is the chairman of Slok group, well known in African, carribean and Asian countries, but not registered in Nigeria, thanks to Former president obasanjo.

However I agree that orji kalu stole nonetheless.

Good move

Abia, Imo and Anambra states had drastically reduced their tax rates long before now, but Ebonyi is doing a good job by not taxing a category of workers due to poor income earnings of its citizens. Enugu tax rate has steadily inflated due to economic shocks, this explains why income earnings has sadly tanked over the years.

Another IPOB rats paid to nose around SS....you all go run under

blockheaded rat, always intentionally dodging the obvious.

Crawl back to your hole. Trying to bring disaffection between Igbo and Ibibio-efik is just cowardly. Or are you jealous?

When the times comes, we shall see how cockroach Edo people like you will confront us. Lol

sageb:
there is no relationship between ibibio and ipobs. Even IPU clearly rejected you guys. Go to Akwa ibom, you will see a clean state with good road network. But pass etim ekpo and enter abia state, from akwete asa to the further end of abia, all you see is dirts and deathtrap roads everywhere. Akwa ibom is the cleanest state in Nigeria whereas abia is the dirtiest state in Nigeria. How can you place Akwa Abasi Ibom and ipobs in same statement. Damn! That is oxymoron. A wise man once said "igbos are Ijaw's slaves"

Ipob is an organization not an ethnic group. Did you here him mention Ipob? He said IGBO and IBIBIO are culturally and geographically intertwined and you are vomiting nonsense. Gosh, your stupidity really looks good on you o...

sageb:
don't mind them, they should come and tell the amayanabo that the Ibani people are igbos. Ask them if they have they have been to bonny before. These ipobs are bunch of delusional ignoramus.

Who coined the term "Amanyanabo"?

King Jaja had numerous sons in royalty. They in turn had children and grandchildren.

Amanyanabo royalty is mainly ibani-speaking Igbo. You have to live with that. Sorry.

Ibani and Igbo are United, just like Hausa and Fulani, kapish?

9jaunite:
Dominate in your territory

The average opobo man is simply an igbo man who speaks his adopted Ibani and likewise his ancestral Igbo.

It's like the Fulani man who now adopts Hausa language while still not forgetting his ancestral language.

Kwashiman:
Yeah the Igbos are the reason why you are poor and unfulfilled in life as well . The last time any Igbo man was effectively in power was in 1966, now we're in 2020...how many Igbos have been in power through the several years of corrupt successive governments that have ruined our democracy? or was it the Igbos that also stole all your oil wealth to develop Abuja?

Next you will blame the Igbos for your inability to get an erection to satisfy your woman, clown.

Are you minding him. He is controlled by FEAR OF IGBO DOMINATION

9jaunite:
Claiming Bonny now same you wanted to do to Lagos



It is better you guys stop all this your bad attitude

Channel your grievances to historical facts.

King Jaja rose from slavery to royalty. His children ruled after him and by so doing, Igbo blood took over the ibani royalty. Today many opobians are Igbo blooded. You can't change that.

You can't change history bro.

[quote author=9jaunite post=90402563][/quote]In essence, Ibani and Igbo are the NATIVE languages.
Case closed.
