There is a multi billion naira Iron ore mining company located in Gujeni, Kaduna state, 19 km from Abuja. The mining plant is situated on over 500 hectares of land with an expected workforce of 2,000 workers made up of Nigerians and 300 expatriates. The plant is under construction and the first phase is about to be completed and will resume operations by January 2022. A massive national workforce will be required and experienced hands are also required to support the Iron Ore Processing Project to run effectively.

God bless you Sir

Thanks bro, I'm most grateful.
But I'm actually looking for one that's functioning already

Please Nairalanders help a brother, not sure if this is the right place to post this.


I would want anyone with proper information on the subject to educate me.

I want to know if there's any functioning Iron Ore mining furnace in Nigeria.

It's urgent please.

NigeriaNawa:
Small correction bro.

Thanks man

Impressive CV

But freedom fighting is not for the feint hearted


A true freedom fighter must be ready to frequent the prison and must be ready to, if need be, sacrifice his life in the process

I hope he is ready

You're 100% correct. Marginalization have really crippled the South East. Believe me there's more oil to be discovered in the East if properly searched, but corruption will not allow the Northern controlled government to do so. Just because of Hate.

We still lead in Gas.

Imo state should sue Rivers State for decades of illegal revenue diversion

Those "our oyel" people, Igbo has oil and gas in abundance, nobody needs you for your oil.

hisgrace090:
If well managed.

Delta state comes to mind as they constantly retrogressed despite huge oil bonuses.

Whether it will be well Managed is another case entirely.
But Nigeria politics is oil politics.
The more oil you have, the more relevant you appear.

The fat head in Abia must endeavor to recover the ones ceded to Rivers from Abia end

This news pains you as hail

The Injustice against Igbos won't continue.

How far, those who are always mocking Igbos of having little oil.
I may not love Hope, but if this is the only achievement he has made so far, I'm 100% happy with him

The Imo State Government on Monday said it had recovered 43 oil wells hitherto ceded to the neighbouring Rivers State.

The Coordinator for Petroleum and Gas Matters to the Governor, Goodluck Opiah, who spoke in Owerri, said that the economy of the state was looking bright.

According to Opiah, 22 oil wells were recovered from the Mgbede Field in Egbema, Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area, and 21 oil wells from the Akri Field in Oguta LGA.

He reveled that the development had placed the state as the 4th largest oil producing State in the country.

Opiah noted that the recovered 43 oil wells would improve the revenue of the State, adding that the recovered 43 oil wells signified the preparedness of the governor to correct the ills of the past.

He said, “The oil wells were hitherto ceded to Rivers State. The ugly situation affected the revenue base of the state as we were recorded as one of the lowest oil producing states in the country. But with the recovery of the 43 oil wells, the story has changed, as we have become the 4th largest oil producing state.” ,,

SaintBishop:

Is their any difference between what you quoted and your reply?

WorWorBoy:
All Rivers indigenes understand and speak igbo? i am from Rivers state sir, i don't understand, speak, or practice igbo culture.

Don't mind that guy.

Yes, good percentage of people in Rivers State understand Igbo both indigenes and residents alike, but Never all.

SlayerForever:
You will never see Ohaneze and their brainless followers addressing these things. Stupid people.

Ohanaeze are neck-deeped into politics of what they will eat and not necessarily about Igbo interest

ISOBO IGBOS OF OBUBRA-CROSS RIVER STATE
The Isobo are the most eastern sub group of the Igbo nation domiciled mainly in Obubra LGA of Cross River State as well as part of Ikwo LGA of Ebonyi State. The major center in Ikwo LGA is Akpawudele(Ekpa-Omaka), with some remnants in Ndi-Oka, Ndiagu, and Amagu. They are possibly an offshoot of the Ikwo sub group and also within the same Obubra LGA are the Echara people who are by the way neighbors of the Isobo people. In Obubra, the three major clans are Isobo-Bikobiko; Isobo-Otaka and Isobo-Otaka. They dominate Osopong 2 ward out of the 11 wards in Obubra covering 18 polling units out of the 155 in the LGA. So based on the rule of thumb, we can assume the Isobo and Echara people make up about 12 per cent of the population of Obubra as well as the land area. This means the Isobo people probably occupy about 130km2 of land area and number some 20,705 people based on the controversial 2006 census exercise.
Remnants of the Isobo people are found according to ISOBO Community on facebook in such places like Nd’Oka; Okwuenyim, Nd’Nkash; Appiapum; Nko; Imabana-Ochokwo
; Igbo-Imabana and Igbudu mainly in Obubra as well as enclaves in Abi and possibly Yakurr LGA of the State. The scattered enclaves of the Isobo people was noted by Ecoma Chinyere who wrote on the nature of trade and commerce in the Upper Cross River area.
HISTORY AND CULTURE
History says they migrated from NCHONU which will put them as part of the Ikwo larger group. This was between 300-400 years ago when they began gradually mainly to conquest to settle in the area. The major festival is the new yam festival called the AJI. Their neighbors to the east are the Mbembe people who dominate Obubra LGA. Because of their proximity to their Mbembe neighbors, the Isobo apart from using the traditional week days of Eke, Afor, Orie and Nkwo(which is their market day) had adopted the 6-day week system practiced by the Mbembe people. Their main market in the Ebonyi State axis is the Igboji market.

ORINJI FESTIVAL ( NEW YAM FESTIVAL) OF THE ISOBOS


September the 5th is not only the NEW YAM FESTIVAL DAY for the Isobos,but also marks the climax of myriad of very unique cultural protocols heralding the celebration of the new yam each year. Of course,yam is well celebrated above other tuber crops especially among the Igbos and the Isobos are not left out in this generational practice. Among the lined up cultural rites and activities, the celebrations is kick started with the announcement of the FESTIVAL OF THE PUMPKIN LEAF ( OKPATA INE) by a member of the Council of Chiefs commissioned with that charge. This is usually a cultural celebration exclusively for ND'OVA (Council of Chiefs).It is pertinent to note here that in this particular occasion,the new yam is not involved. The Ova concerned treats the Nd' Ova to a lavished entertainment immediately they return from the Ezegwuk (Great playground); where sacrifices are offered to the gods for a bountiful harvest. Significantly, it offers hope and strength to the people that at last, the period of famine is drawing to a close. Then it is followed by the big one-EJA NJI (Yam sacrifice).
The Eja Nji is the most important of all the rites heralding the new yam.All the seven OVAs representing the seven kindred in Isobo are fully involved.All the Chiefs adorned in their best apparels and attires undertake seven spiritual journeys shuttling between Ezegdwuk and Edgwuk (Village playground) during which time prayers and sacrifices are made for good harvest. It is a purification journey as the gods are called upon to execute judgement on those who may have desecrated the land.Those who have tasted the new yam before this celebration are seen to have desecrated the land and forbidden from watching the final dance when the OVAs will be showing their dancing skills. The high point of this occasion is usually the scramble for who would 'catch' the OGBUNZE (The first amongst the OVAs to eat the new yam) as he was usually the first to dance; fast dance with a speed of light.Only few people have been able to achieve this.At the end of the dance,each of the Ovas carries his goodies bag to his clan where his people are usually handy to receive and welcome him home and gifts therein shared round; followed by merriment that sometimes last till late in the night.Each clan had a different way of celebrating this day and it also ushered in uncommon kind of love as it was a desecration of the land at this time to quarrel or fight.Violation attracted payment of fine.This is usually the case until four days after the New Yam Festival.The next day is the OGBUNZE.
This particular day is almost like the festival of the pumpkin leaf except that the new yam will be harvested by the Ogbunze alone and the Ovas will be entertained by him.The Ogbunze is the enforcer of laws of the land that forbids fighting and quarreling.He collects fine from offenders. The d-day.
Early in the morning,women rush to their farms to harvest the new yam; and the shouts of EKOOOOO EKOBEKO EKOGBANGHANA RIGBO FUA LECHECHE O filled the air.Often times as children, we were woken from our slumber by these shouts; that brought new lease of life to many who had been ravished by famine.Joy filled the air and there is excitement everywhere. New yam meal is exchanged by neighbours,friends and so on.The best harvester is rewarded. The men celebrate as they sit in the clan hut (Obu) to eat and drink together.The young men organize a novelty football match that is usually keenly contested. At night,it is rounded off with an all night ball that lasted till dawn.That is Ekoo in Isobo.

Igbo they can pretend to be anything on internet. They will be Hausa, fulani, Yoruba, Edo whenever they want to make their jocular remarks.

I'm not surprised that is how they always call my beautiful Edo woman igbo even she will tell them that she is not igbo they will say she is lying. These people they are something else.

OTAKA COMMUNITY ARE ONE OF THE IGBO
SPEAKING GROUP YOU CAN FIND IN CROSS
RIVER STATE
In my fewer posts I made about my
community Otaka Vvillage, I met this friend of
mine Gabriel Peter from the same
community in cross-river state, surprisingly
he is an IPOB member and into this Biafra
struggle. it's very important we keep
reminding our people (Biafrans) of whom we
are!.
In this my community in cross-river state
otaka Village in OBUBRA L G A. we are Igbo
speaking Biafrans, We are called Isobo
people, we share absolutely same value
system as the igbos of the hinterland do, we
have our four market days as Eke, orie, Afor
Nkwo. We celebrate our annual yam festival
on every 5 September of the year which we
call "Erim ji". We circumcise our new male
child at the eight day after born, Amongst our
neighborhoods in the same cross-river, you
find the people of Biko-Biko, Apkanwudele,
Ndi'nkasi,Nko,okwuenyim, Ndi'oka, Nko,
Apianam,as well you can also find these
relatives in echara,Ndi echara,Ndiagu,Amagu
here you find remnants of isobo people, our
language can sound little bit differently in
accent but there's no "word" which you can
name we don't hear or know the meaning.
labo's in Anambra call one (ofu)
We call it "'nnan"
They call two (abuo)
We call (Ebo)
They call three (Ato)
We call it (Eto)
They call nine (iteghete)
We call it (iteghete)
They call ten (iri)
We call it (lri)
So as it sounds till you finish numbers, what
igbo call yam (ji) So as we call it (ji)
An igbo man will name after his son his
namesake (ogbonna) which means his
Junior so as l answer (OMEJI) which is
named after me by my parents, you
understand very well what OMEJI, means a
sprout of yam in which it forms another, we
also do answer Chukwu bu ikem chinaza
chidimma Chisom numerous you can't finish
mentioning, we also have what igbo call (oba
ji) barn which you store your yam for use or
for feeding.
Numberless facts which we are culturally
affiliated is many. We are historically linked
to has come from (Nchonu) about 300yrs-
400yrs ago is not of today.We are offshoot
Igbo's you can find there.

A PEOPLE
WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR HISTORY ARE GONE!!!
