Most Hausa people are illiterates and so ignorant,they won't accept to revolution

Not necessarily! If the president was a southern christian (especially a Igbo ), you wouldn't evenbe able to finish the sentence 'come out for revolution' before they'd be out in full force with sticks, stones and planks, waiting impatiently for the 'revolution' to start!

South East everywhere........ UK is also managed by an ipob yoot punch is also an ipob newspaper.



That's how you guys continue pursuing investors away.... even your brother that is a dullard dosen't give a f*ck bout you....


South East issaa goalleee!

You really are one sad individual!

A travel advisory is given on travelling to your shithole Nigeria (i'm ready to bet anything you're a APC/Buhari apologist), yet all that matters to you is how south-east fared against your region! Why are you so obsessed with the south-east and IPOB? Can't you survive and get on with your life without them?

Trip to Nnewi...the 'richest town in Igboland'!

Blogger says it's the cleanest city in Nigeria. Well, i can't say for sure...what with Calabar still in the running. But i'm impressed with the little shown of Enugu in this short clip. The roads are clean; the grasses trimmed; there's some greenery/tended-vegetation; and the traffic lights are functioning. Ugwuanyis' admin' has done well in this regard. See what happens when you give constructive criticism and demand good governance from your governor, instead of praising them all the time?

Buhari is an unmitigated disaster.

And to think we had sowore and kingsley moghalu running which would have meant a new direction and yet Nigerians didn't vote for them despite how terrible the country is.
How terrible does things have to get for Nigerians to do the right thing?

Nigerians gave Nigeria the middle finger in the last election.
They voted for incompetent people, thieves or both.

The Nigeria we're in today...if guys like you and i vote wisely and choose a Sowore or Muoghalu, we'd just be making Buharis' path to a second term that much easier for him as his herd of millions of zombified supporters up north (including the ghost names and illegal immigrants that'll vote) will still queue up to vote for him regardless! The pragmatic though unpalatable alternative is to vote for the lesser evil!

Guyman02:
Business minded people from the East knew he has nothing to offer and never voted for him the first time, they also didn't vote for him a second time, to punish them he has not given any single position to them in the Hyrachy of the country leadership to the joy of Yoruba Muslims

Hehehehehe

Oszy:
The way Buhari kept contesting for the position of presidency since 2003, ordinarily, one will think he is a man with the vision, desire to lead and deliver the country from travails with his master plan. What will Buhari be remembered for?

Junketing aimlessly around the globe....among a host of other evils!

Awka Millennium City Is Coming As Anambra State Government Signs MOU With M-P Infrastructure For Development Of The Estate

By Uche Nworah

Anambra State Government today, Tuesday, 18th June, 2019 signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with M-P Infrastructure Ltd for the development of a brand new eco-friendly city, Awka Millennium City.

The project is the development of a 100 -acre estate (to be known as Awka Millennium City), to be located at Three -Arms Zone, Awka. The $46.5M project will be completed within 30 months beginning with the first phase involving 25 acres which will be ready in 18 months.

The Group MD/CEO of M-P Infrastructure Ltd, Dr. Clem Nwogbo signed on behalf of the company and said that Governor Willie Obiano’s ‘Aku Luo Uno’ call made him to bring his investments home coupled with the stable and secure environment in the state. He thanked Mr Jide Ikeakor, Managing Director of Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA) and his team for working hard to ensure that the deal happened.

Governor Willie Obiano signed on behalf of the state government and charged the company to pursue the project with the same vigour they applied in their Lynden Integrated Farms project, at Igbariam.

You sure this is recent and not one of the raft of MOUs signed soon after starting his first term in office? Is that cost of $46.5 million a typo' error?

News of signing of MOUs don't excite me any more!

Nnamdi Kanu might have run his mouth loud during GEJ's regime, but it was not until Jonathan lost that he gained a large following and took it to the streets. I put it to you that the moment ibos find themselves in the corridors of power again, the Biafran agitation will fizzle out like a fart in the wind

Probably because the bigot-in-chief Buhari gave those Igbo sitting on the fence a good reason jump down and 'pour out into the streets', as you claim, to support the secession effort!

I put it to you that if given an option between either an independent Igbo nation or a fully restructured Nigeria (along the lines agreed by all components on the eve of independence) where the Igbo, Yoruba and Fulani each mind their own business; keep their hands off other peoples property (OPP); and are in no position to make clandestine moves against the interests of the others...i put it to you that most Igbos (and possibly even Mazi Kanu) will accept the latter!

raker300:
anambra has too many greedy ppl among her ranks.

Driven by avarice, these crooks wnt to lay their grubby hands on anambra money wch leads to the stalling of many projects in anambra.

Many contractors have been fired from these projects because of greed and lack of professionalism.

Ebonyi on the other hand has none of that..they’re hungry and angry about their status in Nigeria.

Coupled with the fact their governor is an engineer that cannot be easily swayed.

Thi transfers to faster project completion and quality assurance.

Obiano should eliminate the private sector partnership on these project until after completion.

Below is a pic of Ebonyi airport inaugurated same time with anambra airport

The pic you attached shows the shopping mall and ecumenical centre under construction.

That is why I have just a tiny sympathy for the North at this time.
They play politics with everything including life and death.

I have ZERO sympathy for them!

WELCOME TO ENYIMBA ECONOMIC CITY; THE EKO ATLANTIC OF THE EAST

This is one of the Projects that SEREDEC is involved with and their rail master plan will start from this brand new city. This city will be bigger than Aba and Owerri combined. More information to come.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESc5-DWzfDk

When i first saw this clip last year, i thought it's solely a Abia state project to be overseen by Ikpeazu, and hence i didn't take it seriously! Most if not all big-ticket projects undertaken by state gov'ts in the south-east remain on the drawing board...or if executed at all, are never in keeping with what's promised or shown in the sexy 3D rendering!

I'm still giving this one benefit of the doubt just b'cos it's a Pan-Igbo effort, and respected captains of industry from Alaigbo are in charge! I'll start celebrating when i see movement on ground.

And why hasn't there been any updates on the financing yet? It's like a year gone by, and i was expecting that by now machinery would have been put in place to start pooling together resources of Ndigbo (at home and in diaspora) to help kick-start actual construction works on the railway and city!

Reminds me of a episode of My Wife And Kids when Janet took Michael to her samba dance class and he got jealous seeing the way her male samba instructor was touching her!

bigerboy200:
I know the PDP supporters really wished there was a server. The issue of electronic transmission wasn’t in the electoral guideline, and the constitution doesn’t provide for such either. But I don’t blame some people who believed the server story. Afterall,it’s in this same country that people believed bathing with salt water can prevent Ebola.

You people are so sneaky and planned well ahead for your 2019 elections machinations, i'll give you that much!

Now those wondering why Buhari and APC vehemently refused signing the electoral bill in to law, know why! It's the same planning ahead that made you throw poor Onnoghen under the bus!

Maxymilliano:
How can any sane mind reconcile these two conflicting statements from INEC:

1. Initially, INEC says they have no server, that 2019 election results were not transmitted electronically.

2. We only experimented with server but not for 2019.

These two statements from INEC, are they in any way consistent

They probably shut it down for the 2019 elections and chopped the money voted for it!

TMemos:
It is also part of democracy for the person you're making the request to, to reject the request.

No be so?

Wrong! You have a wrong idea of what democracy actually is!

Insofar as the person making the 'request' is asking for NATIONAL offices and resources owned by all Nigerians and which should be shared equitably and not on the basis of who voted for who, then they're well within their rights to do so!

Of those arrested for the murder, i bet at least one of them would be Nigerian as well!

Juliusmalema:
You can it nuisance but is wisdom.

The optimistic Op calledit southeast commission.

What is Asaba/port harcourt doing inside there.

Whenever you see any dead dream, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you and this is one.


Incorporating delta state and rivers state in such is just like wasting resources.


If they are serious, they should contain whatever nonsense they want to do in Igboland.

Now if there was ever a post showing that the scumbag i’m quoting (together with his multitude of other monikers) is an impostor and as much Igbo as i am Mr Trump, this is it!

Imagine saying this noble initiative (that doesn’t harm anyone at all) is ‘nonsense’!? It’s clear his mission on here (probably a paid one given how persistent he is) is to try and cause divisions in Igboland as well as try to keep any cooperation, links and commonality between Ndigbo and the so called ‘south-south’ to the barest minimum...if not eliminated completely! He’s on a failed mission!

Atouke:
Uyo central business district looking good with the 21 storey office building complex ready for its glass facade.

By rights, cities/towns like Uyo, Eket, Port Harcourt, Ohaji/Egbema, Omoku, Warri, etc, ought to be the best cities in the country! Their problems are both internal (local population and state gov'ts) as well as external (federal gov't)!

Compare oil-rich states abroad like Texas and the UAE to our own oil-rich states, and you'd weep for the black man!

Interesting thread! Hope it's sustained and gains traction!

OP, list the ethnic groups that make up this Niger Delta. Would you say the region has got a fair deal from Nigeria.....if yes, in what ways; if no, what is the region doing about it?

Atouke:
I like the design very simple and functional. Walk into a very spacious terminal hall, once checked in you go upstairs and wait for your flight to be announced.

Once announced you proceed to the gate and board your aircraft via and avio bridge.
Simple and fancy.

The simple but functional design looks like something the state gov't can handle...no trying to hang your coat where your hand can't reach!

On the first part of your comment;
That woman spilled so much wisdom. I am not gonna lie but Igbo women are impressive with their aku luo uno mentality. It was also the Omu of Asaba that Made the same exact point in another video.

They both said that you cannot leave your land and be developing other people’s land.

Most igbo women that I know personally who own properties including my mother all invested in Igbo land. Igbo men are seriously disappointing sometimes.

I've always said that our greatest achilles-heel as a people is our greedy and visionless Igbo political elite that place Nigeria before pan-Igbo interests! See as none of the governors could even be bothered to get out of bed for the event...or at least send in representatives!

Another question: is the railway project (Aba-Port Harcourt) different from the one the federal gov't is doing with the Chinese loans?

If so, i reckon the one of the SEREDEC will be completed first...knowing how things done by the federal gov't can drag on for ever!

I loved the presentations by the speakers in the second video with Pascal Dozie moderating....especially the one of Uju Ifejika! She said a few things that needed to be said!

Uju Ifejika mentioned she's from Ogidi royalty. Anyone knows if she's nee Amobi? Growing up, i remember overhearing my dad, when casually chatting with my mum in the living room, mentioning names like Ifejika, Ifekandu, Amobi, Osanakpo, etc. The Ogidi Amobis' are related to our family via the matriach of the family, Eze-ego. I gather, a very wealthy lady in those days.

Ikechu12:
I love this idea...This is asking the right step to developing the level of first world nation.. This is why I love my people. Without Niggeria, I know we can do wonders.

My only problem with this is they need to remove SE and make it an Igboland objective. Let's look at the rail project, they said it's a way to connect Igboland but yet it's only going to circulate SE. Even if the rest of us are forced to be part of state that necessary aren't igbo only state, we would like to be included in projects that's for development and unity of our ethnicity. I think they need to expand their goal to SS Igbo as well. It should be all Igboland objective, not just SE.

I know what you mean! I think they're being careful so as not to be accused of 'land-grabbing' and all that, seeing as Asaba, Port Harcourt, etc, have been placed in states that have a large none Igbo population. Since they included Port Harcourt in the first phase of the rail project (even though the dev' commission is termed 'south-east'), i'm sure other Igbo cities outside the south-east like Asaba will be included as well.

SoNature:
I beg to differ.
Imo State must diversify.
Else, we will lose our morals completely.
Nigeria is not America...there are certain things we cannot manage at this point in Nigeria.
Hotels have a way of harboring criminals and encouraging underage prostitution.
If you consider the positive effects, you must also weigh the negative consequences.

Dude, i can tell you for nothing that America can't hold a candle to Nigeria in the depravity and moral bankruptcy stakes! What makes it look like we're Angels in comparison to America is that we're quite adept at forming holier-than-thou!

Afam4eva:
Wow, Owerri is really taking more shape with these hotels. Owerri needs just one thing and no city east of the Naija will smell it in terms of night life and even beauty. We needs quality roads in the nooks and crannies of Owerri. The government should do a census on all the hotels in Owerri and make sure that roads leading to those places are tarred. Let them not also forget street lights.

Lack of quality roads and expansive greenery throughout the city is what is letting Owerri down. Also outside of Owerri, the rest of the state is lacking good roads like you see connecting towns all over Anambra.

Uteghe:
Biafra is merely a money making franchise.

You must be confusing Biafra (for which your 'one Nigeria' has murdered it's agitators in cold blood) with Nigeria that's set up and sustained to this day for nothing more than exploitative and economic interests!

Look at the cra'p the useless OP woke up this early mor-mor to post.....he probably couldn't sleep over Igbo matter! Now is this type of duplicitous snake someone i'd like to share the same country with? Hell, no!

ideynl1:
Bro is it possible to update us with status of these timelines as they progress to enable us follow-up?

Thanks

Updates and keeping to timelines is very important. We've seen so many false dawns and development proposals that never got off the drawing board!

horsepower101:
It is imperative that SEREDEC sensitize the igbo diaspora on buying shares in SEFCO. This will be a major game changer in the coming decade if well implemented.

Don't know how possible it is for them to launch on the stock exchanges of major cities like London, New York, Johannesburg, etc. This will help diaspora Ndigbo to key into the project better!

dadavivo:
OkoroAwusa is running mad already. Thank God you have nothing to do with us again in Imo state. Keep holding that senate seat while it last

Okorocha is the text book example of the desperate and self-centred politician using his ethnicity to try and get relevance! He talks too much!
