[quote author=fresh_dude]You need to shut up and listen. WE ARE THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY. And we are saying that, while the collapse of this bridge is a major inconvenience, we are somewhat appeased by the expansion of a road which performs the same function as this and is more central and in fact bigger. This bridge is not more than 10metres in length and 5metres wide.
Dude, seriously, it is unbecoming to wail more than the bereaved.[/quote]Compare this ACN rogues to their PDP counterparts in the east, 2 days was all it takes for machines to roll in and respond to the collapse of a bridge, go figure!

Prof Corruption: Why is "International" added to the name?

Because the people from this region are tired of landing in another region and allowing touts fleece them of their hard earned money all in the name of checking crime. We want to soar to international levels and land on our land.

I think the people living in this community should protest, carry placards and block the government house.

Eko Ile: Why do you think we add chief, doctor, engineer, director, honorable, excellency. GFR, SAN all the other rubbish to our names?


lmao..

For example, Prof corruption.... Imaooo

Eko Ile: I truly appreciate the op and this comedic thread...



lmao..

At least, this is better that the wooden bridge thread in Ogun state.... imaoooo....

[quote author=fresh_dude]You're the one subverting the truth. You're the one who should do away with falsehood. Roads are being constructed, repaired and expanded in this same neighbourhood, now that's the truth.[/quote]And these people living in this community without a bridge slapped the governor, so no bridge for them, abi?

Jonathan is a good president, among the best if not the very best. Ride on till 2019 sir!

Eko Ile: With all the construction activities going on all over Ogun state, the masses are in for good and happy times instead of suffering.

The suffering masses are the deprived masses in your zero development villages and you really need to spend more time worrying about them...

Stick to topic sir, we are talking about a picture of a rickety-life-threatening-eye-sore and an excuse for a bridge where thousands of people suffer to cross and you are trying hard to deflect the attention to the ugly situation by going tribal once again. Eko ile, your people are suffering!

Eko Ile: Any reason why I should agree with? I'm not part of the state's decision making team and you are not either. You have no idea what they have on the board or what plans they have for this particular bridge. And the Abeokuta claim is still false because most of the construction work going on in Ogun state are not in Abeokuta..

Leave insinuations and assumptions alone.

And leave the masses to suffer?

Ola Johnson: You watch a lot on African Magic. Switch to Magic World Africa, and see how other countries in Africa do good movies. Take Xala, a Senegalese movie, for example.

It is a reflection of their own polity, it tells THEIR story!

Eko Ile: In reference to the false and misleading info about Ogun state government spending 97% of the state's resources just in Abeokuta.



There are tons of ongoing projects in other areas to dispute that false claim with..

But you will agree with me that if this bridge is in Abeokuta, it would have been repaired?

Ola Johnson: Then let it remain so for. But for me and all reasonable people, Tuface is nobody compared to Osadebe. Nkwa.

Irrelevant comment to the subject matter.

Ola Johnson: Heavy weight, na you be dat.

Heavy weight CHAMPION, thats me.

Better a king in hell than a slave in heaven.

[quote author=fresh_dude]I think Eko Ile has treated this well.[/quote]Eko ile has still not repaired this bridge! Wetin he treat?

Ola Johnson: Would you then say that because Tuface has more sale he is better singer than Osadebe.

The market said so!

Ola Johnson: When you are able to organize your thought in writing, I will reply you.

Who needs a reply from a light weight like you. Come back to me when you graduate.

Ola Johnson: In what ways is Nollywood telling our story? With poor scripting, lack of continuity, etc?

The actors and actresses say and act what happens in Nigeria, the scripting and continuity is a good reflection of our situation, which government or program has good scripting and continuity here? Nollywood is telling our story!

Redoil: The last time i cheak i could remember that 97% of all the resources acruing to ogun state are being spent in abeokuta and ota only. I am living in ado odo LGA we bought electric pole built police station grade the road all by our selves. Whever we complain they will tell us all the incom accruing to the state are being spent to beautify abeokuta and otta. What a shame.

HABA! And they tell me the south west is developed? HABA! again.

Ola Johnson: Exactly.

Oh, how convenient!

Ola Johnson: I'm not arguing on behalf of WS. He is against it. He never graduated with a 3rd class. I wonder where you got that from. If he did would he have proceeded to Leeds immediately for further studies like the former VC of IU, Ayo Banjo?

Yes, WS a pioneer is member of the Pyrate Confraternity. In fact he was the leader with the name, Captain Blood. The PC was not a violent group. It grew in leaps and bounds with new members joining. But some members who wanted to bring strange practices to the group were dismissed. They later formed their own groups which became violent. As a result of their violence, the PC decided to pull out of higher institutions in the 1980s. They then changed their name to National Association of Seadogs (NAS) which is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission. Whoever that is an undergraduate and tells you he a member of PC is a lier. Members of NAS are intelligent people who are graduates with evidence of NYSC certificates subject to rigorous intellectual check. How many members of the so called PC can come out to say they are members? But member of NAS do.

WS held NBC station to prevent S. L. Akintola who was trying to bring Northern oligarchy in Western Region after Awolowo had been imprisoned.

Having a big sale is not a yardstick for the prowess of one especially in the arts.

Having a big sale is the only yardstick to measure every kind of success, from UEFA champions league tickets selling out or the super bowl, to Wacko jacko concerts to Achebe's novels. The same arts, the same successes.

novicali: The Indians that are my friends respects me so much because of CA and so many Asians told me how they read his books in their school days and it really help to enlightened them about Africa. Why we are so much backward is that we have not been able to tell our stories and most of the ones we hear is from the mouth (pen) of foreigners. Nollywood is telling our stories and is somehow appreciated all over the world.

Dont mind them, WS, is a British imperialist tool to spread foreign literary confusion in the guise of poems and satirical comedy aimed at protraying foreign traditional writing. He was trained to help brainwash Africans.

Ola Johnson: With all due respect, if you no know wetin you go talk make you blow wistle. Hear yourself saying WS write fictions and unfounded stories. Wole Soyinka hardly writes in prose, he does only when it is a memoir. For example: Ake, Ibadan: Penklemes Years, You Must Set Forth At Dawn. Most of his works are in drama which to a large extent are satirical. The West will always celebrate him because it surprises them that an African like him could teach English Literature and Literature-in-English. He teaches the English people, the native speakers of the language their language. It is like a Fulani going into the a creek in Bayelsa State and teaching Ijaw. For a long time now he has been a professor of Comparative Literature.

He was the only African that has ever taught Literature-in-English and the only African who has ever taught Enlish lierature and the only African who ever made professor in Enlish literature? Teaching the Enlish people English, a man wey say im first im papa born first son, who be im papa?

Ola Johnson: CA being referred to as the father African literature, albeit not wide, is the mistake of Nadine Gordimer.

And the nobel copmmittee did not make a mistake?

Commandclem is a fraud!

How?

The promoters of the patent are doing so to get the uninformed, unsuspecting Nigerians to keep paying to them in the fake hope that one day, they will be paid. Nobody is going to pay anybody any amount because the facts of the case is flawed.

Mobil has no case to answer to commandclem and the judiciary rightly threw out the case and cest fini, case closed. But some fraudsters who has been chopping peoples patent fees are still hell bent on promoting this fraud so that new people will keep paying,

What happened to those that has paid to commandclem since nearly 10 years ago, my uncle that was swindled by commandclem is dead, before he died, he was still asking me if they will still be paid the millions commandclem promised. Sad.

To you the wicked who continues to push this fairy tale story of an imaginary case and non existent payment, keep on duping people, till them go catch you.

squino: my uncle just asked if Chinua Achebe is a musician

If he is not a stark illiterate, introduce him to google.

Nightshift: I haven't noticed that more people are unemployed in Enugu than in other Eastern states. Are people suggesting that students( who make a big chunk of Enugu population) should be part of the non - working population?
Where there is huge unemployment problem, there are often cases of high crime rates. But this not the situation in Enugu, if really the state has huge numbers of unemployed people.

That Enugu unemployment stat is wrong, if there are no jobs there, why are there peace and tranquility among the youths. who is buying up all the goods in the shops and who is staying in them hotels, who is flexing in the clubs with those female students and who is driving all those flashy cars. Maybe the unemployed get grants to spend cash from sullivan!

Please dont tell me the money rolls in from outside town because the rents in enugu are also high. Who is living in all those big mansions?

Agrika: Not suprising, enugu people no get wahala

Enugu people are very politically mature. They understand government politics and the administrations treat them well, from Jim, chimaroke and sullivan.

spikes C: You definitely don't know Enugu,
in other words, you're not qualified for this debate
in other words, your opinion does not count

The guy has never been to Enugu before, period.

blocker: Enugu is the state with the 2nd lowest federal allocation in Naija (ask Federal Bureau of Statistics). It is the state with the highest unemployment rate in the S/E. But its alleged low crime rate naija wise be say most residents no dey report the most common crimes (door-to-door robbery going on every nite at Uwani,Emene, Agbani, Asata, Camp, Obiagu, Abakpa, Maryland, Achara Layout and Car snatching). Why? The same reason the stingy residents would not pay N100 to watch (or financially support) Rangers nor pay for a bottle of beer to a visinting friend from from out-of town.In otherwords they don't want to spend money everything must be free not so in PH, Aba, Onitsha etc.The town is full of fake big boys wen sabi puff pass P Didi. Besides na their rent cost pass.Of course people wen no wan spend money report crime for police how they no go win award as the "state with least crime".Its a wonder the IG didn't remember that Enugu State has the highest unemloyment rate in S/E.

Enugu is chilling cool, very low crime, many big boys hanging around till early mornings (oringo thingz)There are more hotels and chopping joints that stay late at night in Enugu with heavy patronage, night clubs and good night life, shopping plazas, Nig, brew, Coca cola, 7up, Innoson, the only reason why it seems that Enugu has unemployment issues is because of the influx of other state people there, looking for a better life. Tiv labourers, Abakaliki girls who will love to stay in Esut and Imt, Anambra rich kids shopping and clubbing like crazy and Igbo diasporans on holiday looking for cheap fun.

Enugu rockssss!!! I ve been there.
