Energito: maybe you met yrouba people that stay at Asaba meanwhile i'm from Ika,did i deny my Igboness?no i will never.Asaba,Agbor are all igbo cities.

Ok, no problem. I will bookmark this against the day people from ur area will be denying their igboness here.

merieam16: hw old er u

Probably older than u sis

Imo & Abia state should as a matter of urgency establish isolation centres, incase of a spill over....please

Energito: Is Asaba igbo village?

Somehow, but many asaba people I have met deny they igboness. But for agbo, I have not come across any that accept being igbo....perhaps, u can enlighten me

Are yorubas residing in kano?

Abiriba1stson: I'm from Abiriba, but I must confess I have never see any Igbo village that is more beautiful than Agbor.

Like one asked...is agbo an igbo village?

emmysoftyou: bros we no dey quarrel b4..they dnt talk to people rudely...and precise am not jobless...wel i forgive u but look at the way yu spelt warrior.{thwarrior}.pls go pick up a text book too and learn how to spell.lol wasted s...

emmysoftyou: I ve travelled to the whole states in south eastern nigeria and
from what i've heard so far from the people of south eastern nigeria........
they said they will rather preferred
or pay homage to the former president of biafra warlord,chukwuemeka odumegwu ojukwu rather than former president of nigeria,dr nnamdi azikiwe...
So i ve being wondering as an igbo man why does ndigbo as a whole,
pay homage or respect to the erstwile president of biafra warlord,
Dim chukwuemeka odumegwu ojukwu rather than the former ceremonial president of nigeria,
Dr nnamdi azikiwe....
And again,Is it because dr nnamdi azikiwe belief so much in one nigeria and never met the needs of the southeatern nigeria?

Ngwakwe: I say our, you inclusive

Ok, but I hate her pathological affiliation with APC

blacksta: I would agree with you.. if you are family members are part of the collateral assets

Such cannot happen twice, my family members were collateral damage in the 1967-1970 pogrom

Ngwakwe: Leave our sister alone.

You want us all to think alike , always agree on one thing and consequently die at same time for an error that would've been debated and caution taken.

Berem, I dey your back on your choice of association, critical thinking and party affiliation but not on attaching brotherhood which can be discuss in-house.

Is she not supposedly my sister also?

Human right activists can go to hell for all I care. collateral damage is inevitable in war.

In war all is Fair and square,after all that's what gowon & Nigeria told the southeastners after the blockade that kill millions of civilians.

North should relax, even if entire bono population will be sacrificed for peace to rain, so be.

berem: So after talking and talking,is APGA presenting a Presidential candidate? I will believe this man when APGA joins the presidential race. Failure of APGA to do that,he is not different from Jonathan's buttlickers.

Shut up, u are not expected to dabbled into this matter, this not about APC nor ur lord buhari

Harbdulrasaq: Reports Reaching us at the moment has confirmed that the father of the popular Democratic party has been ill!

Bloggers!!! smh

Whether he defect or not, LP is a cousin to PDP,therefore Ondo state is already in PDP pocket

In politics what count is interest & is considered foremost ahead of party affiliation.

hardywaltz: Welcome home bunch of cowards....

Oh u call them coward abi?

ola6: The SE is more densely populated than the North, SW and SS. The key word here is DENSELY not MORE as there is no evidence to prove for or otherwise. This makes competition stiff compare to other regions. It is natural for any densely populated area to be highly competitive. This makes the people of the region individualistic rather than cooperative. Hence, there are a lot of stalls and shops. No really mega business, at least, not that I have noticed sha except Shoprite in Enugu.
In a bid to survive the competition, the people live their various states for a less populated state (less competitive), hence, their population in Lagos, Warri, PHC, Kano etc.

One thing also going for the cities mentioned is the FG presence. It cannot be over emphasized. The FG presence in Lagos built a sea port and THRID mainland bridge, necessary for economic growth. Also in Warri, the refinery, sea port, Chevron Nigeria (a combination of NNPC FG and Chevron) Shell et al. PHC same thing. Kano, though, I have not being there but I am almost certain there is FG presence there.

The FG presence in the SE has been minimal tbh and unless something is done fast, I'm afraid. Not just any FG presence like a river port or that thing they built on River Niger ( it really was a wasted investment) but a unique FG infrastructure that will make people leave their various states or the SE. Maybe an Institute of Technology or Public administration, that will make people travel down to stay at least for 4 years or so like the one in PHC (IPS) or the one in Onne (marine institute or whatever).

Also, the issue of tax cannot be ignored. One thing about APC states is that they tax like crazy, hence their spike in IGR.

Nice input

Lovely & insightful discussion, but I will implore u guys to stop responding to superstar, if u don't want the thread derailed. U don't argue with someone who's innately ignorant, a local champion who for once have not travel beyond Usun boundary.

Most of them who has not travel beyond southwest believe that with high number of igbos in their region that southeast is deserted & emty, meanwhile ignorant of the fact that southeast is the most densely populated region in Nigeria.

Hahahaha....disunited fans how market



No Howard web no victory for man u

99cent: In Nigerian Christianity, high rank and success is measured by how western you are ex. impeccable English, flashy cars and clothes, high western education and professional jobs etc. Where as in Islam, community leaders are more respected and valued rather than how flashy your car is.

In a christian church like RCCG, winners chapel etc, you will not be congratulated for being the local government chairman or a local politician. instead, the most respected persons in lagos churches are doctors, lawyers, federal officials etc.

In mosques on the other hand, local politicians are more valued. If you go to a mosque, the most respected members there are local govt chairpersons, local businessmen and women, mayor, community leaders etc.

so muslims are more motivated/ incentivized to involve themselves in local politics than christians.
if a christian did it, he might be accused of being illiterate or too local.

I know this because my uncle (christian) is a local politician and he is more respected by his muslim friends. most of his christian friends do not give him the same respect. they value more professional, western style successes. like doctors and lawyers.
the only exception to this are churches like Celestial church/ cherubim and seraphim etc. they have similar attitude in terms of respect for "local-ness" as muslims.

in pentecostal churches, u will be respected for not knowing how to speak ur native language or for wearing western clothes exclusively. where as in islam, that will be shameful.

U are not totally right!! To me Islamic religion is more of political ideology than a mare religion, unlike Christianity, were the faith is distinct & totally separated from politics or government.

abu12: Kogi people shld fight for that oil, because that is the only resource that easy to tap and make easy money from. If kogi people get that oil, they will receive federal govt attention than those mineral resource the ops mention above. There no part of with the without sold mineral resources but even FG is not ready not to talk of states, south east has cool and other resource what are they doing about it.

I sincerely believe u are not here to derail & divert this thread?. Ur subtility will not work here

Valentinooo: that is to say pictures or ...

Yea

3cycle: No not me, just like the style and thought to share with any female that clicks on ma profile.

But I am way prettier

Evidence to back ur statement?

3cycle: I served in kogi state in 2010/2011, left and then passed through the same town earl this year but menh I was highly dissappointed with the things I saw. Still the same old town with nothing new to Show for it except that my boyfriend then now owns a pure water factory and lives in GRA with the rich

Talk truth, na ur boy friend u go see. Anyway, u are beautiful, if that's u!!

vedaxcool: Typical! The above is nothing short of ethnic chauvinism and tribalism!

Nigerians always enjoy blaming others for their own failures! Kogi state has an extremely inept leadership, which seems satisfied in maintaining the status quo than making positive change. The sad thing is the poor leadership is at every level of governance and every senatorial district!

Don't read too much meaning to what I said... bro

I agree with u, Kogi state have not have it good in electing good leaders, which is part of they woes but.....

vacker: I watch the news,No thanks

Anyway, since u rejected my suggestion without consideration, I will say...welcome to Nigeria

This whole thread did not make sense,full of assumptions& devoid facts....smh

vacker: I am half Nigerian and i have decided to visit Nigeria for the first time,born in Sweden.

I would love to know how i can get to Akwa-Ibom,Calaba and Ondo(my fathers hometown) and could i know some other potentially fun places i can go? Thanks,am your sister

Bonu state, sambisa reserve & gwosa in particular

Lokoja, Kabba, Ajaokuta, Itakpe, Obajana, and Odagbo are all in Kogi state. Yet, Kogi is one of the poorest states in Nigeria. Is this state cursed or its just bad leadership? I personally think it's nothing shot of both. Its really unfortunate!

It is simple, Kogi people fail to detach themselves from the grip of core north, who sees them as a subject/minority that must not be allowed to live to they full potentials.

It's very unfortunate, unptil now kogians & benuans have not realise that they are distinct people from the core north, & should pursue they dream & self determination.
