That's Nigeria for you! They use our commonwealth to do up Kano, Kaduna, Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt airports....but when it comes to AIIA Enugu, Ndigbo are expected to source for the funds and fix it themselves!

You couldn't make it up!

The north hates the south but loves the oil in the south. True or false?

Well, it’s not called SWEET CRUDE for nothing!

Kebbi Governor be like....that thing wey the likes of Rivers and Akwa Ibom dey enjoy, we must enjoy it too, come hell or high water!

And they ain’t gonna let the little issue of first having to find the oyel stand in their way!

spinna:



lol,Mr.puncher you can never change history. Even the white man's attempts to obscure black history failed.Those who seek the truth will find it . Like i said let go of hatred and don't follow the way of your fathers for you know the terrible result it brought. Read more and read from neutral parties not propaganda literature. Igbos main flaw and greatest weakness with all their talents and virtues is hatred, hatred shows in your, post let it go. I didn't say wickedness because all Nigerians have that one.

Dude, you can go screw yourself!

Just look at this hate filled revisionist twerp talking about history! As if you’d recognise history if it came up and gave you a well deserved slap on your bigoted face! Don’t confuse history with your drug-induced hallucinations which blur the lines between fact and fiction and leave you sounding like a prime candidate to be sectioned under the mental health act!

When yapping on and on about ‘hatred’ you need to go look in the mirror and address the bitter schmuck you see starring back at you!

Yet again i ask, what’s your ethnicity? Let’s see between your forebears and mine who exhibited hatred the most!

Anambra State occupies a unique position

First its not an oil producing state like RIVERS, DELTA AND BAYELSA in industry category.

It has the smallest land mass compared to other state yet its able to hold a position in agriculture compared to Niger and cross river states.

It biggest resources is is human resources that's why it holds an enviable position in services when you compare it to Kano in terms of population.

I think education is the Key working for Anambra State.

This is the kind of intelligent analysis this thread needs, so states further down the list know what they need to improve on! Not all this attempt at dick measuring that always lowers the tone of any thread!

Anyone knows what the hell we do with Abia state!? Ordinarily this state should be running neck-and-neck with Anambra!

Impressed with Anambra! Though it should aim to be in the top three!

They introduced political assassination after just 10 yrs of the country's existence. The cold blooded murder of Sardauna and Akintola and others still hurts till today. And the ripple effects continue till now.They brought out the monstrous side of the northerners and that has affected even the north itself

Ibos then truly had a strong domination agenda/plan hatched by their big men. and they didn't even hide it well...they regretted it. During and after the war the propaganda was powerful with even foreign advertising companies hired and masterful authors like Achebe involved in fashioning the picture of an oppressed people just trying to be left alone. Many fell for that propaganda which made them blameless victims trying to leave a country in order to survive their hostile enemies. However the truth is they were the ones that started the hostility and they provoked the pogroms

The only apology they might (and that's a big might) deserve is for some acts contrary to rules of war as regards .POWs , rape, excessive force etc on the battlefield and the issue of change of currency after the war as well as the pogroms in the north..but that would be after they apologize for staining the destiny of our young nation with innocent blood in the name of power grab.

Many fell for the propaganda of the "victimized" ibos including Fela, and it seems Ffk foreign media etc. especially with the pics of the suffering children but the facts are there if u check well.

Also Biafra was an attempt, after failure of snatching political power via the coup, to grab economic power in form of the just discovered giant oil fields of the niger delta.

I hate to hurt feelings of Ibos on this sensitive topic but I would urge them to abandon the evil mind of their fathers and lets live in peace n love.

In the documentary of the war an Ibo man said himself that the war was Gods judgement upon the Ibos

You’re one smug, deceitful, sanctimonious scumbag aren’t you!? Come down from that your high horse lemme punch your face in!

You bang on and on about ‘they did this....they did that’! Just who the hell are the ‘they’? If you’re referring to the plotters of the first coup, then fuc’king take it up with them and let us hear word! But if, as i suspect, you’re using this anti-Igbo thread as a means to vent your frustrations and bile on Ndigbo just because you’re a nasty bigot and that’s what nasty bigots do, then you have to tell us when and where Ndigbo voted to send Nzeogwu and co on such a stupid and senseless mission! What reason would Ndigbo as a group have to want to kill those that were killed and, as you accuse, take control of the entire country!? The Eastern Region was doing well for itself; was relatively peaceful; and oyel had been discovered in the region about a decade earlier (according to what we’ve been told....some reckon exploitation could have been going on long before this date), so what would propel Ndigbo in particular and the Eastern Region as a whole to want to put all this in jeopardy....does it make sense!? More so, when you consider the fact that Ndigbo knew just how the Fulani and Yoruba felt about us (well, the more sensible Ndigbo, at any rate)....there’s the words of their elite at the time to back up this assertion that the Fulani and a significant section of the Yoruba elite viewed Ndigbo in...shall we say, not such a favourable light! As a people, in retrospect we can say the likes of ‘one Nigeria’ Igbos like Kaduna Nzeogwu, Zik and Asika were a tad naive in placing ‘one Nigeria’ first before the interests of their own people or region! Their ‘nationalistic’ attitude stands in stark contrast to the attitude of the likes of Awo and the Sadauna who were more of ethnic champions and who viewed almost every action of Ndigbo with a healthy dose of suspicion and negativity! Igbo idealists like Zik and Nzeogwu are a huge part of the reason we’re where we are today as a people, and why we’re in a shithole of a country with bigots like you who’d stick a dagger in our guts given half a chance!

Notice how you so expertly heap all the blame of the wickedness and intolerance from the core muslim north at the door step of Ndigbo as a people...implying that, but for the Nzeogwu led coup, that the core northern muslim could have been the sweetest, kindest and most mellow set of angels you could ever hope to meet! Of course going by your argument, it stands to reason that these northerners also had a premonition of the Nzeogwu coup that was yet to come, and hence they went about slaughtering Igbos in the north in the 50s....and they still think of said coup till today and hence the justification for the continued slaughter to this day!

You said:

Ibos then truly had a strong domination agenda/plan hatched by their big men. and they didn't even hide it well...they regretted it.

This above assertion of yours (which you’re taking as confirmed fact) would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerously sick and evil! It shows just how you lot view Igbos....as a people coming to ‘dominate’ you, and hence you reckon all the bloodletting against them is justified! You see why i’ve given up on ‘one Nigeria’? You hateful and bloodthirsty bigots are far gone in your hate and bigotry for there to be anything to salvage from this country! Your negative sentiments towards Ndigbo are borne out of religious-inspired rabid hate, envy, and an inexplicable desire to use any nefarious means possible to ensure you hold Igbos down by whatever means so they don’t surpass you....show you up for the failure you actually are, and leave you for dust! This then begs the question: if you despise Ndigbo this much, why hasn’t this hate translated into widespread support for Mazi Kanu and IPOB? Don’t you think support for IPOB (or any other secessionist group or agenda) would help hasten the exit of the ‘pesky nyamurees’ so you lot remaining can then have the country to yourselves and go ahead to form the first country of saints and angels who have an aversion to ‘dominating’ others!? If you accuse Igbos of wanting to ‘dominate’, pray tell, what then have the Fulani/core-muslim-north been doing from the late 60s to date (with a brief stoppage when OBJ and GEJ were president)!? Or is it only when the Igbos ‘dominate’ that it becomes a problem!?

Saying Biafra was an attempt at grabbing economic whatever after the attempt to grab power failed shows how desperately wicked and deceitful you are! I suppose you’re not aware of the fact the Nigerian state couldn’t guarantee the protection of lives and properties of easterners in the north at the time!? Probably, you’re not aware the Gowon gov’t reneged on the Aburi accord when Gowon and his gang went back to Nigeria and had a word with his Fulani masters who grabbed his copy of said accord and promptly chucked it in the bin!? Would there be any talk of Biafran war today if the Gowon gov’t succeeded in stopping the pogrom in the north....ditto, keeping to the accord agreement signed in Aburi, Ghana!? You people wanted to pull that stunt again with Cameroon over the Bakassi affair....thinking you could renege on your promise to hand over the peninsula if they helped with the implementation of the food/military blockade of Biafra, whose idea was dreamt up by Awolowo when it became apparent those plucky Biafrans weren’t the walkover you expected them to be!

Saying we should ‘abandon the evil whatever of our fathers is laughable! Between my fathers and yours, who has committed the most evil to the other? It would take us a thousand lifetimes to repay back even half the wickedness you slimeballs have shown us! What’s your ethnicity, lets see who’s ahead between the two ethnicities on the leaderboard! I dare you to mention your ethnicity!

ImmaculateJOE:
As former head of state, was he (Buhari) present at the inauguration of Obansajo (twice) Yaradua and GEJ as President Federal Republic of Nigeria?

What goes around comes around!

Rossikk:


Ironsi was BEGGED by the entire country for almost a whole year, to bring the coup plotters to justice in order to prevent retributive violence against Igbos. He REFUSED to do so. Meaning the country should just accept that some Igbo officers can just wake up and go and kill the leaders of the other regions, plus the Prime Minister, and walk scot-free.

I honestly don't know what was going through the heads of Igbos of that period. They must have thought they were superior to other Nigerians.

It's no surprise that that period ended in a civil war. Asking the country to apologise to Igbos now is really insulting.

Nice one!

What i’m reading is that you’re saying it’s ok to blame the entire Fulani for the evil actions of Buhari and the herdsmen!

achi4u:
Looking at the pictures the Op uploaded, it might be after the rain on the Sunday morning and you won't except people to be walking under the rain just to make Abakaliki a busy city.

here this night

It’s called a glass-tunnel....so when are they going to cover the thing with glass?

And the governor should ease off a little on all these disco lights....it’s getting a bit too much and starting to look pretentious!

How can you ‘threaten’ something that doesn’t exist!?

If they mean ‘one Nigeria’ though, then it means IPOB/Biafrans/Igbos are the ones sustaining this shithole and are more powerful than they’re given credit for!

success1smyn:
Awon eyan ti GANDOLLAR

This doesn’t sound good!

Hehehehe

Who wants to be the one left doing ‘one Nigeria’ with the Fulani if Igbos/Biafra leaves!?

Anyone close to the governor should help tell him to emphasis as much on greenery and planting of trees in the state capital as he does on construction works! Though i think i can see some landscaping going on in the ecumenical centre area.

Any news on the canal planned for the state capital?

I was at Abakiliki last month and it is a beauty to behold......


Though coming from the Abia-axis....Abakiliki seems to be the only place with such magnificent edifice.....with their small finance...

To our own Abia State....Osisioma flyover will be completed in 2031....

Love your optimism!

Buhari go finish this country...

You ain't seen nothing yet! Remember say NEXT LEVEL never start!

I knew it...another dissertation! Who did they think is gonna read all that tripe!?

globemoney:
Come to think of it, Anambra has never in its history experienced the type of federal attention it is experiencing currently. Every Anambra person that insulted me and Obiano for not supporting Atiku in the last election needs to apologize immediately to us. I’m very happy some are already doing so.

Truth is even if the self professed saint and VP wannabe Peter Obi won the last election, Anambra wouldn’t still get half the FG attention it is getting now. PDP has no plans for Anambra and Ndigbo. Just imagine federal projects going on in Anambra despite not being an APC state:

2nd Niger Bridge
Solid Enugu/Onitsha road
Federal Secretariat
Rail network
Site and service scheme
etc

Jobs are being created. I’m happy Obiano didn’t fall for the PDP scam. Rubbish

Dude, don't let me insult you here oh!

Just what is it that your god Buhari is doing in Anambra that can cancel out the wickedness and evil he has done to Ndigbo since the late 60s when he partook in hunting down innocent Igbo officers to slaughter in the name of 'coup'!? The man is a bastard and if saying that will make him cancel whatever it is you say he's doing in Anambra, then so be it! As per Ndigbo....his account is in the red and it will take more than the rubbish you listed up there to bring it back in the black!

The mistake some people make with Ndigbo is that they think someone can marginalise us; murder us; term us 5%; ignore us in the appointment of heads of military and paramilitary institutions and agencies; ignore and even threaten to downgrade the only int'l gateway in our region; treat south-east as a 'second rate' region that has to wait while 'first rate' regions like the south-west and north-west first get railways, upgraded int'l airports and dry-ports; ignore environmental challenges in our region while he calls meetings of heads of state and begs western countries and int'l bodies to pump billions into environmental challenges in the north like the receding lake chad and desertification; etc,.....people who that think Ndigbo are stupid and can easily be bought over, believe that when a despot has done the aforementioned, all he has to do is restart a 2nd Niger bridge few months to an election (a contract he stopped himself in 2015 after being sworn in to office); send out his otimpkus to claim he doing a 'solid job' on the Enugu-Onitsha expressway (even as they're still yet to provide any proof of such); claim he's building a federal secretariat (as if all states in the country will not get the same thing); make noise about a phantom rail project (whose funding is yet to be agreed/finalised and construction is yet to start.....this is after spending the entire four years since 2015 focusing on the 'first-class' regions of the south-west and north-west); and talk of some stupid 'sites and services' nonsense....this is as he's disproportionately favouring the south-west and north-west with our general commonwealth and diverting real federal enabled projects and funding to these regions!

You think that all of a sudden, Buhari likes Ndigbo and this is why, as you claim, the south-east is now inundated with multi-billion dollar world-class projects courtesy of 'one Nigeria'? Dude, get real!

Billy0naire:


How cold?

We’re talking sub-zero temperatures!

But where were the Yoruba youths that, a few years ago, were so eager to ambush Eze-Ndigbo Akure and beat him up after he was ‘invited’ to Deji of Akures’ palace for a parley!? How come in this case they were MIA and weren’t around to chase the fulani herdsmen off!?

In fact we’re even getting ahead of ourselves here...were did the fulani herdsmen get the gumption and the balls to storm a Yoruba kings palace in the first place!?

Him that is talking, i wonder how many wives and children he keep for his ‘ba shiga’ house!?

BlackfireX:
You all will be surprise when the supreme court will nullify APC win in the presidential election.

Debaiz:



So the FG of a multicultural and multi ethnic country like nigeria will now go on air to order a certain sect of people to start killing others?


Haaaa nigeria is in trouble. Does that make sense to you?

History is there to educate you on this! Care to tell me who and who were tried, convicted and executed for slaughtering thousands of Igbos in the north in 1966? Care to tell me who and who were tried/court-martialled, convicted and executed for the Asaba massacre during the uncivil war? The main actor in that show of shame even has a airport named after him for his troubles!

So you see...your FG is quite capable of doing all it’s been accused of!

gidgiddy:
Although I like the statement, it would be pointless since IPOB is an unarmed group that cannot enforce it. Also, the statement would not be in tandem with a referendum

Right now, an unilateral declaration of Biafra, which cannot be enforced, will only do more harm than good and play into the hands of the government

Precisely!

And any decisions taken for the formation of a sovereign state of Biafra would be on the basis of consensus between all component units, via a referendum!

Unlike in Nigeria of today where the Fulani and their slaves in the south are overseeing a forced unity via a gun being held to your head as you’re forced to say the pledge!

Out in the Anambra countryside looks nice, green and tidy! Don't care much for Onitsha (outside the express) though....looks very dusty with no attempt at tidying up the environment!

Ngige really tried for constructing durable roads in the state. You'll see some of the roads he built years ago still motorable and solid till today!

THE ONLY THING, IGBO HAVE AMOUNTED TO IN NIGERIA IS A DISGRACE.


I FOREVER CURSE THE BRITISH FOR DESTROYING THE GREAT IGBO AND TAKING AWAY OUR PRIDE AND DIGNITY.

I'm with you on this!

This journey Ndigbo have made with 'one Nigeria' has been our biggest mistake....ever! We're in a country surrounded by a jealous, evil and scheming lot who only measure their success based on how they they think they've managed to be better than the Igbos or how successful they've been in holding us down, cheating us and coveting our wealth to better their region and peoples in the name of 'one Nigeria'!

I feel Zik should shoulder a large part of the blame for this misadventure. He knew the kind of people we were getting into bed with but the idealist in him thought any challenges could be overcome and that they'd grow to 'love' and 'trust' us!
