Which state should we do next?

I'm still trying to digest the photos from Ebonyi state.
Honestly, I didn't realize that Ebonyi is this open. The state has very little online presence, so laid back and anonymous.

I should visit the state before this year comes to an end. Thanks for the pictures and information.

I'm not sure what other state you should do next, as the rest have much online presence, especially here on NL. I would suggest Abia next, as Imo and Enugu has been covered to a great extent in other threads. Next to Ebonyi, Abia has little online showing.

Okay, the thread has metamorphosed into what was expected. Let's raise its momentum and keep it rolling in the right direction.

Handsomegod:
No sir. I completely disagree. One of the most vocal and active President General of Ohanzeze Ndi Igbo is Ralph Uwechue,an Anioma Man. The present Secretary of Ohaneze is an Ikwerre Man. Ohaneze meetings are well attended by Paramount Rulers from both Anioma and Rivers. There are many online fora promoting an all inclusive Igbo nation including Proudly Anioma:Proudly Igbo and Proudly Rivers,Proudly Igbo fora on facebook. Those efforts were started by brethren who wished to changed the current divide and conquer narratives. The truth will also attract opposition and dissent but it will always prevail. Creating a thread here which will also include historical presentations will help to address these falsehoods. Trolls will always come to derail it but facts are sacrosanct and available to diffuse their errors. Spyder please proceed.

You are free to disagree.

Even so, it isn't this thread proposed by Spyder880 that will be the deciding factor for bringing in to the fold those who believe they have no place, or would not be fully represented in a sovereign Igbo state.

I don't think it was what Spyder intended when he developed the idea for that thread. What you're asking for calls for a deeper probing of the concerned people's expectations and reservations. It is an issue more sensitive than a thread on a public forum such as this can handle. You know how it will definitely turn out here, with a whole bunch of misfits and trolls coming into it.
This thread isn't meant to address that. I may be wrong though.

Handsomegod:
Oga Spider Please proceed with this noble idea. Ensure you don't leave any part of Igboland in this project. From Ignake+Anioma to PH up to Igbo speaking parts of Benue and Kogi states. Does it not bother us that Ijaws in Ondo state are accepted as members of Ijaw Nation. Same as Yoruba's in Kogi,Kwara and Edo states accepted as full Yorbas but the narrative from mainstream political coven is that Igbos are only ensconed within the South East alone and we see our people buying into the divide and conquer trash! Time to pull down that stronghold. Old maps of Igboland and classified documents are available. Time to recapture our lands and promote the truth. Truth is the biggest casualty of One Nigeria! Tueh

I don't think this is wise.

Remember what happened when IPOB and its rallies gathered momentum?
Several dissenting voices arose. Not just from the average man on the streets, but some renowned political figures as well.

Let this thread be restricted to the 5 Igbo states. Including people who always feel like they are being coaxed to join their Igbo brethren would be counter productive at this stage.

If we all agree that the 1914 amalgamation of Nigeria was a horrible error, why should we do something almost similar, or along those lines?
A good product sells itself. If the main Igbo states get their act together with a strong regional integration, neighboring non igbo speaking states will call for referendum to be assimilated.

A maiden who makes herself presentable will attract multitude of suitors. The headache isn't to bring back erring or lost kinsmen, especially when they didn't ask for it. The issue is to get our acts right, and they will seek us out.

Cosplay:
You forgot some relevant information.

Bro!
You're doing a terrific job here!
I've seen some other threads where you posted the original condition of vehicles advertised for sale here. Seem like most second hand vehicle merchants here are often dishonest.
Thanks for what you're doing!

Sirdayor:
If you understand farming business, you will know that this scheme is not suitable for any type of farming. The farmer will not break even on time with this very huge initial cost. The scheme is simply a real estate scheme.
How many farmer can afford to pay a developmental levy of 300,000/plot? You can just do a rough analysis on an acre to have an idea of what a farmer will be paying on just one acre farmland.
Then what is the person going to plant to recoup such money back on time? Except if the farmer is planting Gold!!

I second this.
Except he is trying to sell residential plots, or he and the firm he represents are going to farm narcotic plants or some precious metals on the land.

SteadyIncome11:
U can leave the technicality to us sir, we have our working staff, network of buyers, for both livestock and food stock farming. All you need is to make ur financial commitment, and U get ur very profitable agreed returns on investment.

Seriously?
Make a commitment when the basic info indicates it isn't workable?
You make it seem like a ponzi scheme.
Whatever ROI you talk about here isn't realistic.

SteadyIncome11:
Still selling @ lowest price

Get real, man.

Who pays 450k for a plot, 300k for development levy for each plot, or 3million for an acre for land that is exclusively for farming (means a payment of 1.8m development fee per acre!) ? Even Dangote won't buy such land for agriculture, I assure you.
That the land has been registered and certified for agricultural purpose makes it cumbersome for anyone who buys now, with a view to converting it to other use later (such as residential, school, healthcare facility etc) in future.

Two sets of twins....that's the oba's grand gesture before he starts getting ready to join his ancestors.

I strongly believe they are the products of insemination, and not necessarily bedmatics or intercourse. I could be wrong though, because when these elderly folks consume those potent local herbal mixtures, they could straff a horse to death

asha80:
sometimes I wonder what to think about this hotel booming business in owerri and environs

Here's a news flash!

Nobody here gives a single sh!t what you think
Who really cares about your stomach ache over people's properties?
Buildings are dynamic. If Owerri's economic drive changes direction, hotels can be converted to office blocks, hospitals, schools, even residencies.

Put in your own stake and invest in properties too. I repeat: no one here gives a hoot what you think.

maclatunji:
The New York times that failed miserably in its attempt to prevent a Trump presidency is what will now change anything in Nigeria?

Let me laugh well Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

As if its the New York Times that is expected to make any changes in Nigeria's politics.
By the way, you didn't laugh when NYT supported Buhari in 2015. Typical of "Buharists"

All the NYT did is make a factual report. As a news outlet, that's its job.
You Buhari supporters conveniently hide your brains (that is, if you got any) in your ass when its time for dispassionate analysis.
What is it in the report that is disputable? Keep laughing. That's what empty barrels are good at: a lot of noise.

lacasera14:
idiot!! you didn't see my quote on spyders comment? you call those hilly over passes flyovers abi? don't blame you, it's not your fault, it's our duty to educate dumb folks like you that circumstantial hilly flyovers are different from standard bridges with 6 lanes and street lightings built in the city center to ease traffic. incredible claims in bold, granted, show me one cinema. you'll just jump out from no where and start yapping out of ignorance and sincere stupidity.

#yawns#

What else is new?
Idiot
Dumb
Ignorant
Stupid....

Have you run out of insults and name calling?
Didn't know one should ignore hills when building flyovers and overpasses, especially when cost of construction is a factor.
You still need to see a cinema in order to accept that Enugu is at least a decent city?

Sorry, neither I nor Enugu needs your endorsement. I'm done with you. Just stew in your deepseated angst.

lacasera14:
Yes I've seen him. he's been trying to wrap a single fact around the heads of these IPOB dumbskulls but it's not working, from pages 1-3. they've clung unto pictures as if their lives depended on it. The city has no single flyover bridge, no single cinema, no busy express road that shows traffic and influx to prove how development is making it boom with attention, granted I had a bad camera when I went there couldn't take pictures but do they need pictures to admit they don't own a single flyover bridge that contains traffic or perhaps they need pictures to admit they don't own a single cinema. they have all the mediocre pictures they need in their pride of the east thread but my own must show up because a drowning man must leverage anything just to stay afloat. I'm awed by their idiocy and silence is a better treatment. watch how they'll come for me again in sheer stupidity but I rest my case here while you and them can continue wallowing in the apex level of desperation for survival (pics). you think those 3 lane roads in independent layout and natural shrubs that grace it that have refused to go down because of lack of development is all there is to beauty and development.

Sweet God!!!

I mean, with all the insults, name calling and all, you finally proved that you never visited Enugu! This is probably the reason you couldn't show a single picture, and rather giving lame reasons you decided not to upload any

So, Enugu doesn't have a single flyover??
See how you ended up mocking yourself. People who would rather descend to name calling and insults, rather than using objective arguments are usually empty and dumb. You've just proved that you're one of them. You seek attention where no one has the time for you. Look elsewhere.

Nobody visits Enugu by air or land and still make those incredible claims in bold you just did up there. Get a life, boy. Your insults mean nothing, because you are nothing.

RenegadeFrost:
after completion I may only rent up to 5th floor or use solar panels which will serve the elevator and hallway lights only,but we'll see. I have around 700 acres at Oron area Akwa ibom . I have another 50 acres somehere else at Akwa ibom. I intend to build at least 50 10 storey apartments on 60 acres. I also plan on doing a lot of businesses . my plan is to employ people and then they rent the apartments and all the money comes back to me .
you know why a lot of those expensive estates at Lagos don't do well? because there are no jobs . you have to create jobs to lure people to live there . If you build houses you must also build schools ,grocery stores ,companies ,hospital, etc. to keep the place running . you just cant build housing alone and expect wonders

You got an ambitious plan right here.
I hope you can pull through with it.

You know, when you sit down and think about the ramifications of it, you get to realize that this plan cannot depend solely your financial liquidity, or on how dogged or determined you are. A lot will depend on the economy and how government policies (or lack of it) affects it.
Our society and economy reflects the type of government in place.

Never stop strategizing. All the best!

teejay5:
Anyone pls help,I saw an advert of land on Nigeria properties 150k per plot at OKO AFO extension mile 2/badagry express way lagos.am planning to go and check it out but is der anyone here who lives close or av an idea if its truly genuine.

Hi. Its been over 6 months since you made this post.
Did you go to confirm the land?
I actually saw the same advert online today (offered by one Madaj Classic Homes Ltd)

Kindly post updates if you have any.

RenegadeFrost:
Below are renderings of what i want

These are nice.
Quite sure what has prevented these sorts of high rise buildings across the country is the shortage of electricity. You can't build this without installing elevators. Elevators need a steady power supply to be useful.
The alternative is to get diesel powered generators to be operated at additional costs, which will drive up the rental cost.
So, if you decide to go that route, next consideration is what part of town to acquire land to site the building, that won't drive tenants away due to prohibitive rents. Means you need to position the building in a high brow (or very close to) part of the town. This, to ensure you get a decent ROI.

If you can afford to build a 4 storey, you might as well make it 6 to 7 storeys or more, to save land space. But at this level, an elevator is a must!

spyder880:
The parapet is curing, while we start the roofing........ we are placing wall plates, tying them up with iron ropes which are anchored in the reinforced beam of the parapet fascia.

When I saw this picture, I developed this strong urge to pray for you.
Right now, I'm begging you: don't take unneeded risks especially when up on a high building. Biko kwa!
I implore you to put safety first. Start wearing safety gears on site at all times. Its also time you invest on same for your workers. At least helmets and safety boots.
We need you here, alive and well. I'm sure your family needs same too.

You are an investment to many of us here!
All the best!

Yes, God is amazing. God is faithful. No doubt
However, don't act stvpid by insinuating this woman's childbirth was an act of miracle, and not the product of medical science.
She had an IVF. I can bet an entire paycheck on it. The nasty thing with us black folks is the tendency to attribute everything to spirituality. The average white man, while thanking God for its success, will still let it be known that it was achieved through IVF.
But Africans will give you the impression that the triplets were conceived through spirituality, and nothing more!

honeychild:
My dear nobody likes a braggart. Not even God.

Prov 6:16,17:
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 [/b]A proud look [b],a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Prov 8:13
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:[/b] pride, and arrogancy,[b] and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Asswipe has gone spiritual
Incredible! In other words, God hates your Igbo brethren, which translates to an open cheque for other people to hate them as well
Meehnn....Nigerians, or rather, the bulk of other non Igbos within the contraption called Nigeria, here's the question you all need to answer:

You all hate the Igbos. Even God hates the Igbos. You (and God) just can't stand their pride and arrogance. The Igbos realize this and pleads to be left alone, to forge their own nation and destiny, as they tried to do 50 years ago. But you, and the rest of Nigeria refused.

What do you then want??

You despise them, you can't stand them, yet you want them to coexist with you! What brand of malaria do you and Nigeria have that have defied every medication?

The presidency: useless, good for nothing collection of individuals with no self worth.

Two minutes after Omokri posted that, the presidency quickly tweeted a condolence message. Pretty sure they are constantly watching Omokri's tweeter handle.

I'm also quite sure the prehistoric dinosaur that occupies Aso Rock still has no idea about the Offa incident, much less doing what is expected of him as the father of the nation.
Oh, that's true.... Buhari doesn't know anything.
He's as useful as spoiled kunu.

Alariiwo:
Igbos are doing better than "noone" my friend..

Even without war or insurgency, the SE still ranks low in terms of development and sustainability.

The unemployment rate ranks highest in the SE
The security is nothing to write home about.
Talking about infrastructures, it's zero


Wake up boy! There is nothing special about South East or her inhabitants

The statement in bold is as false and as empty as you are.
The undisputable fact is, there was a war in the SE. A war that raged on for 3 years and took the life and potential resources of nearly 3 million souls. Other than Lagos, put SE states side by side with SW states and tell us how the SW is miles ahead.

How then could you say "even if there was no war..."
Did you manufacture a parallel universe in which you can compare a SE not destroyed by war?
I mean, how can you make such an harebrained and senseless comment, and think it a smart argument?

Next thing, you would argue that the civil war never took place.
Just as the poster said, you lots will ignore Yoruba threads and masturbate on Igbo ones until you ejaculatë blood.

This is sad on so many levels. Hunger and ignorance will be our undoing.
The messed up mods who bring such things to the front page are also partly responsible for people's disregard for wild life.

Na so.
In Ekiti, after you have been ousted in an election, just be patient for another 4 years, then come back to "chop"
Fayose and Fayemi must both think Ekiti state is their dinning table, in which they must eat turn by turn.

sirchikero:
Lagosians had mixed feelings about the commissioning of the best bus terminal in Nigeria, the Ikeja Bus Terminal, Which President Muhammadu Buhari landed in Lagos State to commission. The Ambode project showed how big the leaders of Nigeria can dream and what is achievable in this part of the world.

Many Lagosians felt the closing of roads and public holiday was too much sacrifice for the commissioning of a common garage as some called it .

I have lived in Abu Dhabi for eight months and was a user of the Abu Dhabi bus station which is the only bus station in Abu Dhabi. Let’s examine if Lagos New bus terminal is at par with what is obtainable in other developed parts of the world or not.



Lagos Bus Terminal Facilities:
This iconic terminal is designed to change the face of public transportation and it will convey more than 70,000 passengers daily to over 22 destinations across the State.

The facility, which is sitting on 10,000 square metres land space is equipped with Intelligent Transport System (ITS), Fully Air-conditioned Terminal, Food Court, Shops, Toilets, ATM Gallery, Free Wi-Fi, Electronically Controlled shades, among others.

Through the ITS, intending passengers can be informed of the departure time and arrival of the next bus which allows them to plan their movement.

The facility was designed and constructed by Planet Projects, an indigenous construction firm.

Senseless topic.
What's the comparison for? Who needs it?

horsepower101:
You afonjaman copied chinos handle to incite division among igbos. Everyone know that you are a Yoruba man.

When you keep replying that nonentity, then you are no better than him.
What part of "ignore him" did you not understand, pls?

As usual, the brain dead troglodyte doesn't know what he's saying.

You have really united Nigerians by your words and actions. That's why the first major speech you gave on an international broadcast separated the 5 percenters from those who gave you majority votes.

That's why the Nigerian army and police cannot arrest murderous herdsmen across the country.
That's why the middle belt and every tribe southwards feel persecuted, neglected and getting slaughtered by your terrorist kinsmen, without you never publicly condemning their actions.

Its better every component part of this madhouse country know where they stand and take steps towards self preservation.

Mr. Newton-Farris said, “My advice to Nigeria is this, I know that a lot of Nigerians feel a little displeasure with President Buhari moving too slow on some of his reforms..."

This is the sort of advice we can do without. We do not need advice from someone who obviously doesn't know our unfortunate president as much as we do.
He said Buhari is slow, and to give him more time?

Give Buhari 10 years, and he will still not have a frigging clue what his duty as a president entails. The man is brain dead. He is useless even to himself. The only time Nigeria has been this bad was during the period leading to the civil war.
Buhari has broken the pitiful records he set in 1984 because he doesn't have an Idiagbon to bail him out from his mess. If you ask me, three years is enough time to implement some of his policies and give a sense of direction to what his regime is trying to accomplish. The man is an utter waste of time and space.

When I finally made money, I would like to Own at least 1000 hectares of land..
, with that my Generation no go suffer..

#na-God-go-do-am

Fixed assets sure pass..

I feel you. Nice decision.
But, where do you plan to acquire such size of land?

Now, that's one hell of a lot of calamity to befall a single person. I can't begin to imagine the horrible state of mind she is in at this time.

But this report though....
Naija reporters and their half baked, totally empty and annoying reports. You would think a reporter with half a brain would be curious as to enquire how the woman lost seven of her children...
Instead, he's content to write that she lost seven kids to various circumstances. Such silliness.

The zoo estate, sometimes called the zoological gardens in Enugu was built right on the spot where Enugu had a zoo. There were a lot of wild animals in the zoo, lions, zebras, pythons, monkeys, deer and antelope species were showcased in the zoo for visitors to watch. I was taken there by my mum as a child and we saw many animals.

Governor Chimaroke Nnamani closed the zoo and shared the lands in the zoo as residential area, since the area is in the centre of the city, the value soared and only rich people could afford to buy or build there now. There are senators, governors and very heavy business men as neighbours in zoo estates. Sales started from about N3.5m in 2002, but you may not find a plot below N100m inside the estate today.

The streets inside zoo estate are all named after animals, you will see Lion avenue, Zebra street, gorilla boulevard etc

Wow. Thanks for the exposé.

SoNature:
The most surprising is Zoo Estate. How did those people who own properties there make their money?

How did this estate acquire its name? Zoo estate?
Is there a zoo attached to it, or what? The name is unsettling.
