Ok. To the best of my knowledge, I wil differentiate briefly.

Ndokwa is a nation while Ukwuani is a language. The people of Ndokwa speak a dialet called Ukwuani. Ndokwa belongs to the axis of local government in Delta state while Ukwuani falls under kinds of languages spoken in Delta state.

Meanwhile, the two can also be used interchangeably as one can also be referred to as an Ukwuani man/woman. Thanks!!!

So are you saying that there is no place called ukwuani
What language can ukwuani be categorized on
Can you tell us the words in ukwuani language and its meaning
Let us start from the word ukwuani and ndokwa

I am interested in this group of people

StephenJoseph:
Yes! I can!

pls do

[color=Blue]TonyChristopher has spoken. Too intent on applying a racial slant to anything that doesn't favour the black man, that the obvious is missed.

As I posted earlier, remove emotion and sentiment, and you'll notice lots of things you're currently blind to. It's not about Black or White, it's about practicality and safety. Take a closer look at that "modified" trike. Can't you see what's so wrong about it? Is it safe? Would you let it transport your kids?

Before you accuse me of "praising the white man", take a look at the automobile, cell phone, laptop etc you're using. Even the airplane you fly in.

How many of these items are made by Nigerians? If your items are NOT made by Nigerians, yet you're getting all butt hurt that not ever Nigerian shares your sentiment with regards to a badly-modified trike, then you sir are a Hypocrite.

It's not about patriotism, it's about good old common sense and practicality.[/color]

AND THAT GOOD COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON AND I THINK ITS A LUXURY TO YOU IF I MAY SAY...HAVE YOU SEEN THE FIRST CAR BY BENZ AND FORD, OH YOU WANT THEM TO LEAP FROG, YET IF THEY LEAP FROG LIKE COSCHARIS YOU STILL BLOW GRAMMAR


BUT IF I MAY ASK YOU CAN YOU MAKE A PRESENTATION ON YOUR OWN ENGINEERING CREATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS, IF NOT THEN I THINK YOU NEED A WHITSLE INSTEAD OF TALKING DOWN


CHINESE STARTED LIKE THIS WE LAUGHED EM, NOW LOOK AT THEM


WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE BLACK MIND AND TALK HIM DOWN MENTALITY

When i said that our arm chair critics and auto specialist will evade and invade here to speak big and huge grammar why the car wont function or have the requisite capacity to takeoff you dudes thought i was joking...they came and they have spoken yet they cant even show us their engineering ingenuity in terms of practicality or contraption ...bunch of hypocrites
How can somebody critic something without hands on experience...these guys are terrible, to the keke dude, i give it to you, you are better than all the professor emeritus in auto and mechanical engineering that blow big grammar without hands on experience or any thing to show for it. We cant just talk down on people but we need to encourage them,



THE SO CALLED ONLINE AUTO GURUS...TAKE NOTE, IF YOU WANT TO EARN MY RESPECT, BUILD SOMETHING OR SHUT THE HELL UP

skyfall:
This is crap, for too many reasons. Instead of trying to manufacture/remodel cars, Nigerians should start manufacturing ordinary toothpicks, safety matches and other ridiculous things we still import.

which one are u manufacturing pls tell us

Siena:
[color=Blue]TonyChristopher, chill out, wind your neck in.

Anyone can be a critic. You don't have to build an engine to know if an automotive creation is garbage. How many auto journalists do you know that have built a car? Look at the Top Gear crew. Jeremy Clarkson did NOT even major in Automobile Engineering, neither does he come from a mechanical background.

Yet he's an authority on automotive issues, respected worldwide.

To be a good critic means emotion should be kept out of things. You don't praise rubbish, just because it originated from your country, or it was built by your brother.

That creation pictured above is an absolute disaster. It has no stability, the wheels are too small for the vehicle's height, there's no room for the wheels to steer. It has sharp edges that would not promote progressive deformation in the event of a crash. It's an accident waiting to happen.[/color]

black man has spoken

talking down on Blackman and praising the white man

colonialism did a whole lot of harm than good especially to the psyche of a Blackman


I have heard you

The Economist dragged Nigeria's capital city then patted up on the back. Below is what they wrote;

For a city that dubs itself the “centre of excellence”, Lagos has a lousy reputation. The mere mention of Nigeria’s commercial centre conjures images of crime, corruption and motionless traffic. The bodies of people run over in car accidents can be left on the street for hours and commuters in even the poshest parts of town are sometimes caught in shoot-outs between robbers and policemen. Little wonder then that in a ranking of the “liveability” of 140 cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit, a sister company of this paper, it sits in the bottom five.

The besieged Libyan capital Tripoli scores higher, and war-threatened Damascus only fractionally worse. Its citizens are also an unruly lot: men urinate on the don’t urinate signs, people hawk by the don’t hawk signs and loiter by the no loitering signs.

Yet the city is a lot better now than it was two decades ago. Bola Tinubu, who became the governor of Lagos State when civilian rule was restored in 1999, remembers taking over a “slum”. “The traffic was chaotic. The infrastructure was disintegrating. There were mountains of refuse all over,” he recalls. “People were being murdered. Armed robbery was rampant. Dead bodies were picked on the street on average 10-15 times every week. There was no control of any kind.”

Lagos was rundown in the late 1990s because it was badly run. Rapid population growth, as rural migrants flocked to the big city, outstripped its infrastructure. No one really knows how many people live in Lagos: estimates range from 10m to 21m, but its congested roads and bridges have space for just a fraction of them.

Under military rule, the city was neglected by the central government. In 1991 Nigeria’s capital was moved to Abuja, an orgy of grandiosity built in the middle of the country to symbolise unity. Public spending followed the politicians there to pay for wide boulevards and marble-floored palaces. After the restoration of democracy in 1999 Lagos still found itself neglected, largely because its citizens had the temerity to vote for opposition parties, the forerunners of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that earlier this year unseated the incumbent People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that had run Nigeria for 16 years.

Mr Tinubu and his successor as governor, Babatunde Fashola, both say their efforts to reform were often frustrated by the PDP-led federal government. It failed to upgrade the main roads in the city that were under federal control, including one leading to West Africa’s biggest port. It delayed approval for an important train line that the state government was willing to pay for. “I don’t want to be understood as recriminating,” Mr Fashola says, “but I know things could have been better.”

Instead of relying on Abuja for funds, Lagos learned to generate its own. It created passable systems to monitor its own spending and squeeze taxes out of citizens not known for their eager compliance with such things. Internally generated revenue has risen to 23 billion naira ($115m) per month, from almost nothing a few years ago. That still amounts to only a few tax dollars per person. But the state has been able to borrow against that income to finance projects such as a much-needed bridge linking the upmarket areas of Ikoyi and Lekki. Moreover, its reliance on local tax collection has forced it to improve its services in order to attract businesses.

And in this regard it has done well. The state produces about $90 billion a year in goods and services, making its economy bigger than that of most African countries, including Ghana and Kenya. Much of Nigeria’s industry, which once thrived in the north, can now be found in the suburban manufacturing estate of Agbara. Cranes hang over the city and land is being reclaimed from the sea as developers rush to satisfy the vast appetite for property.

Seth Kaplan of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore argues that whereas national elections in Nigeria are a squabble over petrodollars, local elections in Lagos favour candidates who show competence and pragmatism. The opposition’s success in managing Lagos played a big role in its sweeping victories in state and national elections earlier this year.

Now that the APC holds power in Abuja as well as Lagos, the city has a chance to do better still. Many hope its efforts will not now constantly be stymied by a ruling party afraid of being shown up.
It could also teach politicians in the capital a thing or two. One lesson is that it helps to foster a broad tax base, instead of just relying on oil (which provides more than two-thirds of the central government’s revenues).

Better tax collection would make the budget less vulnerable to wild swings in the oil price. It might also lead to more accountable governance: people who pay tax tend to demand better services in return. Another moral is that better infrastructure boosts economic growth, and if you don’t have the money to pay for it upfront, you can get private investors to do so instead: witness Lagos’s toll-roads and bridges.

For badly run countries in other parts of the world, the big lesson of Lagos is that reforms in one big city can sometimes kick-start wider change.

For those of us that keep criticising and analysing cars, inshort to those of us that are nairalnad car specialist that cant even convert a wheel chair to a motorized mobile equipment but will analyse the horsepower and capacity of engines produced by a guy in Europe. For them that will criticise the locally made cars like INNOSSON and other real engineers and car builders not all these online car techs, if you claim that you are that good and worth the respect of other car novice but users like us, please fabricate, remodify or even construct a common 5 stroke engine, it will be then people like me will take you serious and respect you...but for now you guys are arm chair online critics and analyst without any hands on experience
A guy named Kenneth who lives in Calabar but is from Nnewi in Anambra state redesigned this Keke. He added the stuff in front to make it more balanced. Makes sense or nah? See a pic of Kenneth after the cut...
Now this is what I call pimping my ride and it ain easy but he tried ...i know they will either ban this post or yank it off but what i keep saying is..... stop been a critic

Just don’t bloody care
