shinealight: Just take a trip to Gaza and experience what awaits Nigerians who do not understand the statement that “consequences will be dire”….then you can make your choice and advise your children accordingly!
The Unity we preach in Nigeria is pure hypocrisy.
And secondly; our destiny are not tied together, Unity is never forced! You can’t give what you don’t have
shinealight: Nigeria can Never be divided peacefully….therefore Nigerians have to learn to live together harmoniously! Nigeria is just like America…they may have dividing tendencies but they cannot break up because the consequences would be dire. The earlier we realise this, the better for millions of our citizenry who are living in abject poverty while the well-to-do are distracting them with talk of break-up, sit-at-home and all sorts of rubbish instead of focussing on lifting the populace out of poverty!
consequences will be dire! Can I get that part correctly??
Do not ever compare America with Nigeria!
Both countries are Never to be compared in both social systems, economy, democracy…
Ezewuzie01: The UN will not put any office on Enugu, stop deceiving yourselves. The level of insecurity in Enugu is alarming. Ipob is killing people everywhere in the state, just two days ago a politician in Enugu was murdered, I am surprised it was not even discussed here. The UN will not bring their staff to a town that lacks water and where its staff will be forced to sit at home every monday and be targeted by Ipob gunmen if they move around with police or military escort. Anambra is so much safer than Enugu. Mbah is only going around doing talk shows to distract the people after donating Enugu farmlands to Fulani herders.
why are you actually pained about UN decision to make Enugu its 4th headquarters? Are you a UN security officer or member of UN council to conclude that Enugu is not safe? ??
If this works out, it’s actually a huge achievement for Enugu and Nigeria as a country. Take your frustrations elsewhere nobody cares.
SonofLagos: obsessed? For pointing out your hypocrisy? And besides, this is a public forum, and why is Lagos always giving you lot running stomach? Face your shitty region…busybody
what is he talking about? You want me to engage you with your tribalism? Pig !! . You better look for your type of people
Nchenches: Owerri, you still want to eat head and tail in Imo state? Stop this your SALE of SNAKE OIL.
Orlu state proposal is still as it was proposed in 2006 and was about to be created before Senate President Nnamani threw away the baby with the bathtub.
FYI, onye mgbu, in 1976 when Imo state was cut out from the old East Central State, people of Anambra state never objected to cutting out Imo the oil producing area from them. Today, is Imo better than Anambra and Enugu States?
Because of fear in Oru-Owerri people that Orlu senatorial zone deserves a state of its own, and might be made a state before long is reason why your Oru-Owerri seized 99% of government institutions that induce human and economic development in Imo state and located all in Owerri zone during the military era.
The difference in levels of urban development between Owerri and Orlu in 1976 was thin. But because Owerri seized all government institutions and parastatals in Imo state for location in Owerri zone, and nothing for Orlu zone to develop with, modern development and urban expansion in Owerri zone quickly ballooned. Orlu stagnates in modern development.
Imo has been ruled multiple times by governors from Orlu zone. Who’s stopping them from developing Orlu?
Only Rochsas was able to do good works in Orlu.
Hope seems to be focusing on owerri giving Orlu little attention.
I was just wondering how and where orlu state will be created . ?? They should just rest the matter! If they really want to create 6th state for SE, every right thinking person will consider Anioma state, formed from Delta north and Ndoni part in Rivers
Jamestown123: The people of south east should join hands together with the governors and stop insecurity in the east first. East, especially Enugu was known to be a very peaceful and welcoming place, before all these stories of UGM and IPOB started de marketing east. To me, Enugu is a very wonderful place. Serene, full of life and little bit cheaper. Stop praising ipob, help the security agencies to restore back the east glory.
whos praising Ipob??
The failure of FG in addressing key issues that gave rise to series of agitation facilitates the emergence of IPOB
Not just recently the organization has been overwhelmed and hyjacked by hoodlums
LOVEALAIGBO: There's been talk lately of the UN looking at making Enugu its 4th headquarters after the ones in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi! Hopefully this will go beyond just talk and be realised as their presence will bring so many benefits to the city! It will open up Enugu to the world (bitter, envious and toxic Nigerian politics allowing); will facilitate the issuance of visas from Enugu; will accelerate and improve activities at Akanu Ibiam int'l airport; will make Enugu more cosmopolitan; and the benefits mentioned will also help increase economic activity in the state and improve its IGR! The UN having a office in Enugu will also help the state gov't easily attract investors willing to invest in areas like mining in solid minerals and hydrocarbons; tourism (hotels and leisure parks); inter-city rail network; coal or gas fired power plants; housing; etc!
The Mba led gov't should take it as a matter of priority to ensure the ENTIRE state is secured and made safe! We do not want a repeat of those sahelian vermin going on another orgy of violence in Enugu....cowardly targeting another sleepy village far from the capital to murder men, women, children and babies! It is 'one Nigeria' that is allowing those toearags free rein to walk into any state, commit heinous crimes, and disappear never to be seen again or held to account for their crimes! Enugu state is getting this recognition owing to its commitment and activities in education! We should not allow those who don't know the value of education, or indeed life, come into the state and spoil things for us!
