Abakaliki glass tunnel still on course to completion,
90%complete, while drainage channel is on track Q1 2019

Even if you hold a gun to my head, i couldn't tell you what this glass tunnel is all about! And the pics shown in this post only help to befuddle me all the more!

I don't know why there's no rendering or 3-D video of what the finished product will look like!

I think we've had quite a lot of discussions thus far.

Anyone with new pics, videos or news on new or ongoing projects?

Forget all this grammar!

If you're this confident, then we should witness a free and fair election in Lagos! Kinda like we saw in the run-off in Osun where you we're just as cocky....sorry, i meant confident!

hammer6F:
U can see the type of adminiistration that Chino is under in Anambra and u are surprise that they come here to insult other Igbos.


They claim Bianca is not Anambra and several of them have gone as far as telling me that Bianca Ojukwu should go and contest in Enugu.


I dont know if u guys have been following the Anambra thread but my ears are full.


I will post some of their comment here.














After they will want to claim they have more sense than Yorubas.


Wen we know that they are Igbo retards.

It's not just a Anambra, Igbo or Nigerian thing....it's a black african thing!

If your opponent sees you have the upper hand, are brighter and stand a better chance of beating him at the polls, he'd resort to plan-B (which is the default setting of most black africans): whip up primordial sentiments of race, religion, gender and state of origin....as we're presently seeing with Anambra!

Quite sad really!

Is Tonye Cole thuggish enough for Wike ?
Well he has Amaechi behind him, no shaking.

I guess Amaechi has enough thuggishness for two.....not to mention the backing of the partisan Nigerian police and army!

dheilaw1:
mimiko is contesting already

I know you made the post in jest, but just to add that Nigeria is not the US or France where a dark-horse can emerge and win based on the votes of the electorate. Valid electorate votes count for nest to nothing in Nigeria when the president is chosen!

TMemos:
Nnamdi Azikiwe was not the head of government. You should have written Tafawa Balewa.

He was the head of state, while Balewa was head of gov't.

The thread is about head of states. Though i feel the likes of Ironsi and Shonekan shouldn't be included due to the short time they were in office. They just include their names to make the list from the south east and south west look large so it looks like all regions and the three major ethnic groups have produced more than one head of state.

milemimi93:
Who was Ojukwu that a party should hand over ticket to his wife?


A coward who ran away when his people needed him most?

The party did right to deny his wife a ticket..

This here is the main reason for this thread and for pushing it to front page!

jaxxy:
So how do they honour him? The 1st son is basically doing nothing significant. The wife who makes an attempt at smtn significant is shutdown.

I say it that Igbo are their worsts enemies, not Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani.

They lack political tact and cohesion and therefore can not move the region forward. So tell me how they shud honour ojukwu or u think they will just bestow smtn on any of them without trying or working for it?

All those petty honours given are more like mockery cos they have no significant effect on the nation or people

Shut up....no one needs your fuc/king advice! Igbos give Ikemba loads of respect!

If anything, it's mainly the Yoruba and a few Fulani that abuse him and his wife!

hisgrace090:
So apga as a party would have dropped all their senatorial candidate just because bianca ojukwu declare her intention to run for the post less than 2 month ago?

Pls that's not how to honour ojukwu.

Don't mind them! They're just looking for a reason to mock Ikemba, his wife and Igbos in general!

Take a read of the responses from the usual bastard Igbo haters....salivating at yet another Ikemba/Bianca thread they can use to vent their spleen on Ndigbo!

InyinyaAgbaOku:
There are far more Anambra people in Enugu state civil service than the other way round, yet, we keep hearing of what happened in 1991 , that followed state creation in most regions. It's alright.

About Zik,all you listed was achievable by him. If he could get Nigeria independence without bloodshed ( a phenomenon documented globally by observers) and start a Pan African movement named after him, there was nothing he couldn't have achieved , if he had set out to do it.
The only thing he didn't achieve in his life was being president post civil war era and that's because Igbos, including him, had begun to suffer from his previous inactions.

So, setting the Eastern region into what you described above was like 'beans' for him. That's part of why I believed that if he had intervened the right way, and with all his international connections, Nigerian division, pre 1951 or Biafra, late 60s , would have come on a platter of gold. Dude wasn't just interested.
The so called advice he was giving Ojukwu , prior to the war ( that people are harping about and calling Ojukwu stubborn for) ,was summarily for Igbos to remain in Nigeria, not minding the pogroms. How possible was that? Ojukwu had to shove him aside so he could concentrate. And what did Zik do after?
He vamoosed.

And let's remember Ojukwu didn't start the secession alone. There was a referendum in the Eastern region . He also worked with a lot of intellegensia , like Achebe, Okigbo and Co. We heap these blames on Ojukwu and identify all his mistakes just because we lost.

I've often wondered why Zik, with all the int'l clout and connections he had at the time, wasn't able to convince the western world (or USA at the very least) to support the Biafran secession cause! It's been mentioned that part of the reason the west didn't support Biafra was because they had a premonition how great a Biafran Republic would be, and the superiority complex in them didn't want no 'black monkeys' showing them up like that! Remember this was the 60s, during the decade blacks in the US were fighting for their civil rights!

I feel, like has been stated above, that Ziks heart just wasn't for Biafra....and this is somewhat understandable given the fact he had close links to the north and western regions!

If not for all the above, Ziks clout coupled with the promise of free oyel from a independent Biafra should have been enough to convince the west to support the new republic in its fight to be free from the medieval minds that hold us all to ransom even to till today!

Had things (the political-economy of Nigeria) remained as they were, with the upward economic trajectory the Eastern Region was witnessing pre-66, Port Harcourt would have overtaken Lagos by the 1980s.

Of course this is assuming all agitations by minorities in the region were addressed; which i believe, given time, they would have been! Not addressing these lingering issues before the coup of '66 allowed our enemies to see an opening through which they could come into the east...take advantage of the divisions that existed within the new region, and divide us further!

Bede2u:
Michael okpara....the youngest premiere in Nigerian history. He turned eastern region into the fastest growing economy in Africa...even b4 oil became a factor.

Dude never owned a house. He joined eastern region house of assembly in 1950 and had a steady political career lasting 16 years....7 of which he spent as premiere.

Died at age 64

It would be very hard to get these kind of leaders again! That stupid Nzeogwu coup messed up so many things for us that i don't even know where to start!

Nowadays, people go into politics and selfless service is the last thing on their minds! They're more interested in making billions (of dollars if possible) and being worshipped as 'your excellency....not much else!

Pavore9:
She has been on that seat for long.

Nigerian way of doing politics sef! It's different from everywhere else! It's all about; 'she has been chopping for too long, let someone else chop'! No consideration for the fact that a representative only gets better and more experienced the longer they represent!

Anyway, a people get the kind of gov't the work for! I can bet other considerations like money and primordial sentiments came into play in choosing the eventual winner!

Dry mama jokes

Try put some effort into your jokes. Your skin is as ashy as your lame joke

You must be talking to the man in the mirror! Isn't Bianca Ojukwu somebodies mama as well?

Fuc/king hypocrite!

ckenneths:
Agbor. ....

Didn't know Benedict Peters (the publicity shy billionaire owner of AITEO) is from Agbor as well!

ckenneths:
Still in Awka

Impressive!

See how clean and sharp everywhere looks! If i was in charge, all of Awka would look like this....even if i have to knock a few stubborn Igbo heads together!

ckenneths:
Awka

The air is looking clean! Must be early mo-mo!

OreMI22:
One really bad habit about road sweepers in Nigeria is to keep dirt or silt on the road waiting for the next rain to wash it back into the gutters or spread it all over the street again.

They should remove any dirt as soon as it's scooped up. The lazy habit of leaving dirt on the road shoulder is what makes every effort to clean-up to be wasted after each rainfall.

Spot on! I so detest that lazy attitude!

ckenneths:
GRA, Enugu . So much crowd.......

What part of GRA is this?

What's the closest landmark?

kayfra:
She will win primaries riding FFK's d|ck

I doubt it....not when you mama is still alive!

No one can hold a candle to your mamas dick-riding skills! Heard she's quite adept at taking it up the arsse as well

alhassanyusuf29:
ojukwu don suffer!! after nyamuri rejected his presidential aspiration, they have rejected his wife now

I fail to see how who the hated 'nyamuris' accept or reject is any of your fuc/king business!

Rather, what should be your business is to support IPOB and hope they succeed in the secession bid so you can be rid of those 'pesky nyamuris' for ever!

Sholaco:
But I don't get it! Why s ipob biafra children celebrating that someone won an apga ticket? Are they part of this country

Where did you see 'IPOB/Biafra children' celebrating? Or are you implying ALL Igbos are Biafrans?

I don't know who's the real owner/s of Air peace are.

I remember how they shook the Aero world when it was announced that they've signed over $1 bn deal to buy brand new airplanes from Boeing.

Foreign Aero journalists and analysts were tweeting how an unknown company signed such a mega deal.

Please what's MRO?

Should be a maintenance unit where planes go for check-up or repair.

He's said it countless number of times that HE is the owner. I don't know why some still find it hard to believe!

signz:
Ndi Enugu, Gburugburu has been under heavy criticism by Enugu Twitter since yesterday.

They're claiming that Gburugburu has abandoned Enugu City. No streetlight, no traffic light, potholes everywhere, signboards everywhere, he's only focused on land grabbing, etc.

Biko how bad is it now?

It's election season, what were you expecting?

ERockson:
This woman should go sit down and not allow wicked politician to sample her pussy for political post

Don't think the loose morals and bed-hopping obtainable in your household is standard practice everywhere else!

Karlovich:
Good for her, she should now find her way back to ffk's kitchen

You must have her confused with your mama!

He over relied on Tinubu's political machinery and faced governance squarely.
Tinubu betrayed him...

In the end he was done over by Tinubus' chicanery!
