Have you visited egbeada estates or estates scattered all over akwakuma/orlu road..
Have you been to seleaf Johnson estates ..
These are places outside owerri and you are talking about estates.

Have you been to Avu/ohaji/mgbirichi sides ?
Have you been to ohii ?

My brother travel and you would realize Imo state is on another level, forget our corrupt governors and their short comings

Are you an IPOB member? I know only IPOB members are always incoherent, emotional, love deviating and lack comprehension skills. Someone is talking about how Hope Uzodinma has wasted 5 years in office with almost nothing to show for it and you are taking about private Estates in Imo. Even the New Enugu project is not an Estate but a new district in Enugu so wetin carry all these private estates enter this discussion?

no assassin did it, it was a hypersonic missile that travel 6000miles per hour unstoppable and untrakable by radar, gifted to Isreal by America, what the mossad did was to place the transmitter near the house of the Hamas leader , it took 16minutes from Isreal missle bunker in Isreal to hit the house of Hamas leader in iran,it destroyed and brought the house to ashes ,fear Isreali mossad, these guys have successfully taken out 2 Iranian chief nuclear scientists whom re guarded more than the president

Slow down with your unverified stories. The building where the Hamas leader was killed is still standing. The Iranian government said the Hamas leader may have been killed by an explosive projectile launched from a building opposite the one the Hamas Leader was staying while other sources claim an explosive was planted in the room long before he lounged there. No one knows for sure how he was killed which is more reason why every terrorist must avoid Israel.

South Africa also has inclusive constitution for people living there legally.

My dear Igboman, the concepts of ethnic identity and awareness are fundamental to understanding yourself and one's place in the world. They are not, in themselves, uncivilized.
The notion of "civilized" that you hide behind is complex and subjective. It has been used throughout history to justify oppression and discrimination against groups deemed "uncivilized." This is a harmful and inaccurate way of viewing the world. It is often used by people with specific agenda.

Ethnic identity and awareness are positive forces for connection, community, and cultural enrichment. Yes, just as you can use a knife to prepare food and also to harm other people, they can also be sources of conflict and misunderstanding. The key is how these identities and awarenesses are expressed and understood.

When ethnic identity and awareness are used to promote inclusivity, respect, and understanding, they are positive forces. When they are used to promote violence, they are harmful.

A multi-ethnic society comes with huge challenges. We can embrace each other, support each other, grow together but you cannot force feed me with what you can never accept. You know your ethnicity's land. Simple.

Abeg don't drag all the Igbos in your comments. The person you are responding to is one of the few emotional beings that love to throw logic into the dustbin. Most of his comments are just controversial to ferment unnecessary trouble. I don't know what he gains from self delusion.

Let's be honest with ourselves, if we want Nigeria to progress and remain one then it is time we all faced reality. We are divided based on ethnicity to a large extent and based on religion to a lesser degree. It's time for a total overhaul of this country. Let's go back to regionalism where people of same heritage get to be in the same region.

Note I said same heritage. I see no reason why Yoruba or Igbo land will be split into different geopolitical zones when they should have been together in their own respective zones. The Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi should be in the South West, the Igbos in the South South should be in the South East, the Ijaws should be together in their own geopolitical zone, same with the Akwa-Cross people, the Edo people should be together with the Urhobo, Ukwuani, Isoko etc who they share similar heritage with.

Let's have at least 10 different region's whereby each region is made of people who have agreed to be together in that region either based on cultural, ethnic or religious similarities. It doesn't matter the size or population of each region, there will be nothing like federal allocation as each region will have to fend for itself and send a small fraction of its income to the Federal Government. Every region will use it's own resources for itself alone, only off-shore resources will be shared among all regions or better still, all off-shore resources will be used to fund only the federal government and the Capital.

Looking at the history of both ethnicities, here are my predictions:

1) The Igbo people would have tried to dominate the Southern Country just like they tried to do with Azikiwe and other Igbo intellectuals in the past.

2) The Igbo people would have spread to many parts Yoruba and Benin lands, competed for jobs and business opportunities with the natives of those lands while still dominating Igboland.

3) Looking at the history of the Yoruba people and the multiple wars they fought amongst themselves in the past to grow the Oyo Empire, a war would have broken out between the Yoruba and the Igbo at least 5 years after being together.

4) The over dominating attitude of the Igbos and their migration activities would have caused a huge battle between the Igbos and the Benin people. Remember how the Igbos (Nri People) spread across where is now known as Anioma and even into some parts of Edo state? It would have been worse in the Southern Country because the Igbos will dominate the trade and commercial in many communities near Igboland especially in Benin.

5) A war would have broken out, not the size of the 1967 Biafran war, but it would have been large enough to split the country into 3 to avoid a perceived Igbo domination.

Who then are you blaming for all these things? What the Igbo people are going through in Nigeria and other African countries is largely self inflicted pain. The South East has a similar size with Israel, if Igbo people had learnt from their experiences during the civil war and focused on Igboland since the 70s, the 5 eastern states of Nigeria would have been the most progressive states in all of West Africa. Look at the kind of massive industries the Igbos have in the South West. If all those investments were domiciled in the South East in addition to the existing indigenous businesses, the South East would have been world class like Johannesburg by now. Even with the terrible policies of the Federal Government over the years, the SE would have still been progressing fast. We would have built our own Seaports just like Lagos did because our states would have been wealthy enough to build such a project. Today we are the wanderers of Nigeria scattered like mumu all over the world and getting chased up and down because we failed to build our land. It's nice we are waking up gradually and I hope we achieve fast growth because we have really slowed down our own growth by ourselves without knowing.

irisher:

FYI, Lagos still buy market from Onitsha & clothings from Aba to sale in Lagos. Onitsha goods tends to be quiet more cheaper compared to Lagos.
The greatest mistake Nd'Igbo did in Lagos was building "Lagos International Trade Fair" I overheard that Ndi Igbo brought the idea and developed the place. But we can still bounce back, there's a saying in Igboland which translate to "Okoro adighi akari onye koro ya" there's a plan to move Ladipo & ASPMDA market to Umueri International market, Alaba market and Ikeja to Oraifite etc..
It's Ndi Igbo that brought the ideas of these markets and the same Nd'Igbo will definitely determine where it will stay next.

We can make our regions more viable, Anambra state has more indigenous clusters of industries than Lagos, Onitsha harbour industrial layout is the largest industrial estates in Nigeria.
There are so many industries in Anambra State, I know many Anambra products that are being sold in Lagos, but the problem here is Nigeria export strategy is poor which is caused by selfish government because you've to bring your goods to Apapa Lagos for exportation.
We still have to invest more on our land.

Finally a reasonable response. The fact that you responded logically, highlighted our flaws as Ndigbo as well the actions we are taking to correct the mistakes showed that you understood my post. I was only trying to make the other dude understand that Lagos was built by all Nigerians irrespective of ethnicity and not by only Ndigbo like his comment portrayed.

DONT QUOTE ME AGAIN PLEASE, I HAVE ALOT OF THINGS ON MY MIND.

If you have a lot of things on your mind you won't be writing nonsense which can prompt a backlash. You simply stick to your point. Your resources were not used to build Lagos. If it was the Niger Deltans that were saying this, I wouldn't have responded but to say the resources of the East were used to build Lagos, that is a big lie. Respect yourself.

@bolded, please stop writing such provocative and false statements. Ndigbo did not build any Lagos. A people who have not been able to build a comparable commercial behemoth like Lagos in their homeland for themselves couldn't have possibly built Lagos. Lagos is the collective effort of all Nigerians irrespective of ethnicity and religion. That place was the capital of this country for 70 long years and got investments from the Federal Government and many foreign investors so how on God's earth do you now attribute its growth to only the Igbos? Just pass your message peacefully without including provocative and controversial statements.

It is a fitness Arena that contains a stadium. It is very necessary. Quality healthcare includes lifestyle modification and exercise which is the essence of the sports facility. It may not be for just patients and their caregivers but also for the staff and students who will eventually mostly reside inside the medical city. So they won't need to go inside town to assess those facility.
The place should even contain staff quarters, hostels for students, mini marts, lodging facilities and banking facilities, churches, mosque etc. So a stadium/fitness Arena is not out of place. Remember it is a University Teaching Hospital. So having everything right inside there is not out of place.

@bolded, let them build those facilities first before building a stadium. I still see no need for that stadium. If fitness is the target, what about a mini gym? Why a stadium That one na waste of land.

oilykid:

Ibeto is not serious.
It's time igbos form their economic cabana like Northern oligarchy and start investing all this heavy industries in the east. We need heavy industries like cement plant, steel plant, heavy commercialized Agriculture in the east. We need to start depending on other regions for our finished goods and services. Our elites needs together and start working together on things like this

@bolded, when last did the Igbo elites come together to achieve something for the benefit of the region? They only come together for their usual lip service South East Governors Meeting. Where is the plan for the Eastern Rail network they mentioned few years back? Where are the industrial zones they promised to build in each SE state? Where is the so-called Ebube Agu security outfit they launched few years ago?

stasius:


Beautiful place.
They are building a sculpture garden.
They are also building a stadium inside the place.
I heard there will be a helipad for air lifting bad medical emergency cases too.
There is space for a lot of facilities in there.
It will really be a medical tourism hub.

I understand a sculpture garden will improve the aesthetics of the hospital's environment.
A helipad is also a huge plus so patients can be airlifted from accident sites to the hospital.
What I don't understand is the stadium. What is the benefit of having a studium in a teaching hospital? The money for that stadium should be used to increase the number of Ambulance in the hospital or purchase 2 fire fighting trucks and build a mini fire station within the hospital.

They were not kidnapped in southeast where they have attended orientation. They arrived Ondo and got kidnapped.

I thought they said southeast is the most dangerous place on the planet.

The entire security organization in Nigeria is a big joke. Kidnappers are getting bold everyday because of how inept our police are.

I am ready to offer my intelligence to help combat kidnapping in Nigeria, but will they employ me?

Dude, I've met many of them here in Lagos. Once they are sent to the East for NYSC, they immediately begin to process a transfer back to Lagos claiming that they don't like the East, a place they have never visited before. I hope they are released safely but I'm so happy they weren't kidnapped in any Eastern state. In the first thread a clown was rejoicing that the people kidnapped were Igbos running away from the East to the South West, I hope he doesn't die of high blood pressure after seeing that it was his fellow Southwesterners that were kidnapped in the South West.

This propaganda governor will add this speech to the list of his achievements in the next Imo Prosperity Episode. The most useless governor in Eastern Nigeria.

Umunne m, I'm going through alot in this nairaland, just over Anioma state creation.

If u notice, the post i made earlier have again been taken down.

I dont know y Yoruba are so concerned over Anioma State to this extent.

Both them and the Bini are no longer sleeping.

We call the ijaw land grabbers for claiming other tribes and growing.


Yet we dont realise the delibrate attempt to shrink Ndigbo by size to a dot in a middle.

They have constantly told the Anioma they are not Igbo because Bini want to expand.

They went as far as sending the Olukumi set up Kingdom in Oshimili, smililar to the one in Benin or IdU.

We neeed to be very careful of the yorubas, they are diabolical. Yes Bini is Yoruba.


Anioma state is a liberator and it will solidify them as Igbo. Biko those our brothers close to the Gov and Orumba reps should shoot down that Etiti proposal. I have been calling for this because I'm following events.

Just tell them to remove Orumba from Etiti.

Dalu!

See as person dey give himself high blood pressure over nothing. What happens on Nairaland has zero effect in Nigeria. In fact, Twitter/X is a much better platform to promote anything you want to promote. And then again, you seem to be more concerned about this Anioma state than even the Anioma people. Well, na you know sha. Just try to avoid high blood pressure over worrying over other people's issues.

Too much hardship and hunger leads to increased frustration and anger in the land. Previously the children were killing the parents, now the parents are killing children
Seems they are now teaching themselves the lessons they were supposed to be teaching Peter Obi.

Leja in Nsukka is quite older. These people perfected iron smelting long before Igbo ukwu.

You need to understand the level of industrialization needed for people to develop the skills required to mine and refine iron ores and move on to making tools

There is really no evidence to prove that Leja is older than Igbo Ukwu and vice versa. Even the year attributed to Igbo Ukwu was based on their historic metal works. I'm sure Igbo Ukwu had been in existence even before they became metal workers.

I feel the time has come for Northerners to permanently seize to be Ministers of Education. What kind of retrogressive law is this for goodness sake? I'm so angry like WTF is this na. Developed countries are celebrating smart children who graduated from their universities at age 17 or 18, our own Minister of Retrogressive Education wants all Nigerian students to enter University at age 18. This kind of mentality is the reason why they are all comfortable with their states being called Educationally Disadvantaged because they are not ready not move at the same pace with the rest of the developed world. Tinubu should use his position as President to reverse this stupid law please.

These same smart nations introduce their 7 year olds to programming and robotics. Why didn't they wait for the child to get to 18 beforg training the child on Robotics? How does admitting students at age 18 improve our standard of education? Have you not seen 28 year old Nigerian Mechanical Engineering graduates that can't fix small generator talkless of cars?

Amah70:


Igbos are underdoing themselves in the state creation matter, right from 2006 when many other Nigerians started to see the need for additional state in the southeast.

Today, even the Isuikwuator Abia state born Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Reps has revived the roguish demand for Etiti state for sixth state in the southeast. Etiti state means cutting down Ebonyi and Enugu states into 11 to 13 local government areas each, Abia cut down to 15 local government areas, but have Imo state of 25 local government areas, so that the Deputy Speaker will have his Etiti State where he will become lord. He wants to set aside the long proposed Njaba or Orlu state to be cut from the 12 local government areas of Imo West Senatorial district joined to any willing number of local government areas in Anambra south. A sixth state for the southeast naturally belongs to, and supposed to be located, between Anambra and Imo States, or cut from any of the two states.

You say one thing first then contradict yourself later on. So you find it bad for Etiti state to be created because it will reduce the number of local government areas in Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia but you find it OK for Orlu state to be created knowing fully well that it will reduce the LGAs in Anambra?
You also reject the creation of Anioma state that will not negatively affect the size, LGA and income of anything Eastern state for reasons best known to you. Can't you spot your own hypocrisy right here. It's wrong to have Anioma state or Etiti state but ok to have Orlu state.

MY BROTHER, I'M NOT YOUR PROBLEM AND NEITHER IGBO PROBLEM.


ASK YOURSELF, WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT IGBO IS SO DIFFICULT? IT IS IGBO MAN MAKING IT DIFFICULT OUT OF GREED.


IT WAS THE SAMETHING WHEN OBASANJO WAS PRESIDENT, THE MINUTE HE OFFERED SE SENATE PRESIDENT, ALL OF YOU START FALLING OVER YOURSELF TO BE SENATE PRESIDENT. THE SE ENDED WITH 4 SENATE PRESIDENT IN ONE TERM.



U ARE DOING THE SAME AGAIN, THEY HAVE OFFERED YOU AN EXTRA STATE BECAUSE THEY ARE PLANNING ON GIVING THEMSELVES MORE STATE.


WHAT HAVE THE SE REGION DONE? U ARE DEMANDING ADADA STATE, ABA STATE, ORLU STATE, ANIOMA STATE , ETITI STATE.


AGAIN U DONT HAVE A COMMON FRONT OR RALLYING POINT. MEANING POLITICALLY, U ARE EMPTY AND HAVE NO AGENDA AND A STATE IS A POLITICAL CREATION. HOW DO U EXPECT OTHER REGIONS TO VIEW THE IGBO MAN?


I HAVE ADVICE U PEOPLE ENOUGH, DO WHATEVA IT IS THAT U ARE GOING TO DO AND HOWEVER U ARE GOING TO DO.


SOON THE IGBO RACE WILL BE THE SIZE OF ANAMBRA STATE , WHEN EVERYBODY WILL GRADUALLY BE CLAIMING THEY ARE NOT IGBO AND LEAVING.

Your response does not correlate with my statement. Igbos having more states is not my problem. I only adviced you to stop stressing yourself over the so-called Igbo people/communities in Benue, Akwa Ibom, Edo etc. Those people have never indicated interest in joining their brothers in the East, why then should you be bothered about them? In Anioma, it's Ned Nwoko, our senator that is clamouring for Anioma state to be the 6th state in the South East. That is what I expect from these so-called Igbo people in all these other states that you have been mentioning. Why should the ever busy Anambra business man start clamouring for Anioma state when Anioma has its representatives that should do that for them? Why should the Enugu man be speaking up for the communities in Benue to rejoin their Eastern brothers when those communities have traditional rulers that can do all the speaking? As far as Nigeria is concerned, Nd'igbo should learn to mind their business to avoid unnecessary insults and embarrassment.

As for the Eastern Representatives and their usual show of shame in presenting 3 - 4 states at the House of Reps, this is where Ohaneze Ndigbo was supposed to come in. That group is supposed to be the point of contact for the Igbo people culturally and politically but they are just so useless. This is the time when the Ohaneze's Ime Obi will call for an Igbo meeting in Enugu where representatives, senators, governors and some prominent traditional rulers will meet for proper dialogue and discussion on the state that should be created as the 6th state in the SE but no, the only time you will see Ohaneze is when they are complaining about political appointment at the federal level.

Anambra was created by Hausa people, spelled by Hausa people based on their pronouncation of Omagbala. Period.
the English accent will pronounce Anambara as Ahnombruh.
Ever abroadian anambra people call it Ahnombrah lol. Hausa people will say Anambra perfectly, but if you ask them to say Omagbala they will still say Anambra. That's where the name comes from

If those guys are not clamouring for such, why are you disturbing yourself? Is it until they call you attachee-by-force or land grabber before you go get sense? So far, only Ned Nwoko from the Enuani part of Anioma has spoken about creating a new state to join the East. All these phantom Igbo communities you guys are claiming in Benue, Edo, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states are just unnecessary, self inflicted stress.
