So if they ask this one at the gates of heaven what brought him there so early he would say he was clobbered to death by an irate mob for attempting to snatch a ballot box? Serves him right! There's now one less thug in the country to mess things up! He suppose know boys are hungry and angry at the moment and not everyone is crazy about this sai baba and APC-change nonsense! This should serve as a warning to other thugs nursing ideas of snatching ballot boxes in areas they consider opposition strongholds! |
StillX10:Please don't keep on blaming the government! A people get the type of 'gov't' they deserve and work for! The bad gov'ts we've had over the years is a symthom of the problem and not the cause of the problem! |
ALCOHOLKILLS:There's confusion in the ranks! After the failed removal of Saraki as senate president, they were horrified at the reaction of Nigerians and the int'l community. So they now quickly went to plan-b which was to hang the entire sordid affair on Sarakis' neck and try to sell the narrative that Saraki is controlling the DSS and EFCC and using them to try and sully Buharis' 'man of integrity' and 'angelic' image! |
escodotman:Wicked! ![]() |
horsepower101:I've noticed this as well. I think the concerted effort to construct inner-city streets started with Nnamani, and subsequent governors have built on it. |
spyder880:They must be physically fit and healthy with all that mountain climbing and clean air! |
I equally have my issues with Zik and his preference for Nigeria over his people, but i cut him some slack given the nature of his upbringing and political tutelage which was pan-Nigerian in nature. |
12Monkeys:I don't blame any Igbo that insults you....you deserve it and much more! It's clear as day that your intentions for starting this thread are not genuine at all and that you've unsuccessfully tried to mask your anti-Igbo sentiments! You fool no one but dyed-in-the-wool Igbo haters who just relish the thought of Igbos receiving a bashing from those they erroneously believe to be fellow Igbo who hate Biafra; Mazi Kanu; unity in the area of the old Eastern Region; but love 'one Nigeria'! You think you can throw us off the scent by abusing Awolowo and northerners as well, but it ain't happening! Try as you may it's just very hard to carry on the pretence for a sustained period of time, and sooner or later the hate, derision and bile you have for Igbos always manifests itself! I highlighted the portions of this post that show just that! Who told you IPOB have failed? Who told you Biafra has failed? Or is that what you've secretly been praying for? One would be forgiven for thinking you're actually from those certain parts of Nigeria that hate Igbos yet equally hate Biafra and IPOB that could be used as vehicles to get rid of them from Nigeria for good! For your information, the economic blueprint Dr M.I Okpara had for the Eastern Region was to make Port Harcourt the New York of the East, as Enugu was its political capital. It made sense seeing as Port Harcourt already had a seaport, railway linking it to the interior and already had gained some economic traction right from colonial times. Or were you expecting both Port Harcourt and Calabar to be the economic and political capitals respectively? One wonders why the same Igbo haters that would be cheering you over this find nothing wrong with their 'one Nigeria' moving the capital from Lagos to Abuja! |
TundeBricklayer:Now this looks like they've finally got serious about this project. Devil punish the old contractor, whoever he is! They were just using wheelbarrow and shovel to build a world-class structure, and they actually thought they could get away with it! ![]() |
selemempe:Heheheheheh ![]() For that one, proper money is required from the federal gov't! ![]() |
vedaxcool:The obsession is real and getting worse by the day! An unnecessary question is asked about Igbos relationship with Biafra and Mazi Kanu, and you -a known bigot and Igbo hater- rushed in like clockwork to give your unsolicited two cents! Who asked you? I put it to you that the main reason you despise Mazi Kanu and IPOB is that since the end of the uncivil war, this gentleman and the organisation he leads have proven to be the biggest threat to the continued existence of the defined geographical space called Nigeria! You cannot fathom any kind of reasonable existence on your own without the existence of 'one Nigeria' AS IS, because you are aware that you and yours are leeching off the sweat, resourcefulness and resources of others! By extension, this is the major reason you hate Igbos too....because as much as you hate them, being in the same country with them is a bitter pill you know you have to swallow! Them being your 'compatriots' is pivotal to your survival and that of your people! Abi na lie i talk? Care to tell us why you stated 'FFK boasted of sleeping with Bianca'? Only a mad man says something without reason, so what is your reason for making that statement? Assuming for the sake of argument they did 'sleep together', care to tell us why it made such an impression on you to the point that it's always at the back of your mind? Also, since you seem to be obsessed with who slept with who, care to tell us how many people slept with you own mama before she was married (that's if you were born in wedlock), or was she a virgin on the wedding night your You state in one breath that Mazi Kanu sells pizza, and in another state that he's dead? Which one do we take, and can you tell us your source of information? If he's dead, and since you appear to be privy to classified information, could you tell us who killed him? Cheers! ![]() |
achi4u:We really need to find a way to reduce the browness of our roads. It takes away from the beauty and clean look of the area being photographed! I think that besides the fact we need to sweep the streets frequently, another cause is the exposed earthy soil found in most of our cities. The ideal thing would be to either grass it over or cover it with tarmac, interlocking stones or concrete. |
CyynthiaKiss:Are you judging the norths numbers by all the ojoro census that has been conducted in Nigeria right from the time of the Brits, when they decided to hand Nigeria over to the 'compliant' north? Besides, a good number of those huge figures they love rubbing in our faces is made up of Illegal immigrants and their spawn, with a few goats, cows and chickens thrown in for good measure! This is not to say they don't have a huge population today. But the genuine numbers are as a result of early marriage and polygamy! |
Ikio:I noticed this salient point! I suspected that many of the northern muslims in PDP who held appointive offices in gov't or who were at the top hierarchy of the party....many of them were either secretly hoping Buhari won, or actively but clandestinely worked for his 'win'! This is why it would have been hard for anyone to query the level of fairness and compliance of the 2015 election in the core-muslim-north. I mean, which northern muslim would have the liver to come out in the open to corroborate claims of illegal immigrant voting; underage voting; intimidation of southerners; polling booths situated in Emirs palaces; the list is endless! Remember the Kano REC (i think it was) who was burnt to cinders in a house fire? Nuff said! Meanwhile, down south we sophisticated moro'ns who are too smart for our own good are busy backstabbing each other and singing like canaries when asked of any election wuruwuru that may have happened in the south! Ask yourself why it's difficult for PDP to win any election in Katsina, Kano or Zamfara, but you have many instances where APC 'wins' elections in Rivers, Edo and Imo! The north has always used our greed in the south to play one side against the other! And we love to think we're the smart ones!? ![]() |
How did this one die? |
vedaxcool:Was just reading to see the first person to mention IGBO, and of course it had to be you! It's only fools unable to read between the lines...who can't decode and break down actions and inactions in Nigerian politics and governance that would believe this tripe you lot are trying to sell Nigerians! It's as laughable as the one you put out that Daura was in cahoots with Saraki in order to ruin the 'good and saintly' name of APC and Buhari'! APC and Buhari are still as devious, calculating, shifty and machiavellian as they come...nothings changed mate! In all probability, this is what happened: Buhari and Oshiomole schemed a way of removing 'that pesky' Saraki as Senate President. This was to involve allowing only Senators sympathetic to the plan to sit (possibly after forming a quorum) and then vote to impeach the 'muthafucker'! As with many other dubious and illegal schemes aimed at propping up the APC or fulani oligarchy, i doubt Osibanjo was let in on the plan. So on hearing what was happening, he must have contacted Buhari who after being advised of the public outrage the DSS action had caused both at home and abroad, did what any self-respecting lying despot would do: he denied knowing anything and everything! This now meant the cabal had no more room for manoeuvre, and it was now only a question of saving Buharis' arsse....and by extension that of APC! So a fall-guy had to be found to take one for the team...this so happened to be poor Daura who was only 'obeying instructions from above'! Oshibanjo must have told Buhari that Daura had to go, and in order to make it look like he was innocent of the entire sordid affair, Buhari must have acquiesced....though through clenched teeth (probably making a note to himself that he has to find a way of getting rid of Osibanjo at the earliest opportunity )!Every Buhari and APC loyalist knows that it's either Daura went or Buhari (and by extension, APC) went, so they chose the less painful option, and then went out to spread the narrative to save face that Daura was sacked because Buhari is a 'man of integrity and justice'! ![]() So forget it mate...Buhari is still as bigoted and nepotistic as they come! You lot aren't fooling anyone but yourselves! ![]() |
bedspread:Oshiomole no dey hear word, so all the OPs advice will just go over his round head! Dude is like a raging Bull in a china shop! |
bedspread:It's a plausible story! I've always said APC is a conglomeration of anti-democratic desperadoes! For them acquisition of power is the be-all-and-end-all....the end itself and not a means to an end! They are remorseless, conscienceless, heartless, despotic and very greedy! Many of the dregs of Nigerian politics formerly in PDP have now found a home in APC! Just where are they getting the money from for all this money-based politics they're engaged in? I thought they are a party of saints with sack loads of integrity? Ndi ara!!! ![]() |
pazienza:You're wasting your time giving him/her/them advice! Their aim is to derail all Igbo threads out of bitterness, bad-belle and hate, so all you're posting is a waste of time! I suspect the moderator responsible is enjoying this as well...if not the imposter would have been closely marked and their numerous monikers deleted just as fast as they create them! |
Hehehehe ![]() Bros Femi is on fine form today! ![]() |
Nice one Spyder! From the pics posted it's obvious our cities owe their progress mainly to individual effort. Gov't and corporate entities could step up their game a bit more. We need more and better roads and flyovers as well as a few iconic structures that can help define a city. Governor Rochas was thinking on this same wavelength as can be seen from some of the things he tried doing in Owerri: ie, the Akachi monument and the statues of African leaders and achievers. Corporate entities can also sponsor iconic structures or show their presence by way of providing much needed services. Anambra has benefited the most in this regard as can be seen from the structures put in place by the likes of Dr Maduka, NESTOIL and Stanel. If you go to the Olympic park in Stratford-London, you can't miss the ArcelorMittal Orbit; in New York you have the Statue of Liberty donated to the US by France; in Paris you have the Eiffel Tower partly financed by Gustave Eiffel himself.....all these are examples of non-government efforts to provide iconic structures that helped place cities on the world map. Now i'm not suggesting we go as big as the Eiffel Tower for instance, but i think corporate entities and high networth individuals could do more for their states and state capitals. Besides iconic structures, they could build a public leisure park (which we're yet to get in any city in the SE) or a Cable Car or giant Ferris Wheel for sightseeing which could be named after them.....this would help improve tourism in the state. Imagine if Owerri had a giant Ferris Wheel, what this would do for its tourist potentials!

spyder880:Spyder, commendable effort! It appears you've downgraded your camera. Your pics are not as sharp and clear as they used to be. ![]() |
seanfer:Rubbish! I'd do the same thing as well! You see what APC and Akpabio are doing to his gov't and you accuse him of being a 'bitter loser'? |

Oblang:Who asked for your daft advice? As long as you're telling them they're Nigerians at the point of a gun, they're free to 'carry their madness' to anywhere they choose! IPOB, Ohaneze and SE governors are discussing something and you want to chook mouth for the thing wey no concern you! This very same 'brave' fulani-python-dancers (whose satanic actions in the SE seem to give you a stiff bone'r) go all weak at the knees when faced with a gun-wielding opponent....these are the scum you see as heroes for killing the 'nyamiris' in cold blood! IPOB and i despise sharing the same country with the likes of you, and we are doing something about it! You on the other hand despise Igbos, yet are doing nothing to see the back of us! If that's not the very definition of shamelessness then i don't know what is! |
d33types:Bros, i knew 'one Nigeria' is a scam years ago! It's some of our dumb Igbo elite i wonder about! When i see a group of APC officials and politicians standing next to Oshiomole as he makes one of his numerous grating statements praising Buhari....saying how much he's fair-minded and loves Igbos, and then i look to see who's standing next to him and sight some greedy Igbo politicians in the mix, i just shake my head in disbelief! It's obvious they're there just for selfish interests and don't give a fuc/k about the interests of their people or Igboland! |
spyder880:Nice one Spyder. As to your question of whether our cities are moving in the right direction, i'd say there is some movement alright. The question is if said movement is at the desired pace and in the desired direction we want. Presently, i'd say our cities are making baby steps when they should be on a steady brisk walk....asking for a Usain Bolt sprint at this point in time is asking for the impossible considering the restricting political-economy we're operating under. If we're to get serious, we have to admit that we need a coordinated and concerted effort targeted at our cities to provide them with the necessary WORLD-CLASS infrastructure they need (trains; adequate power supply; intra/intercity roads and highways; environmental care: ie, parks, gardens and sewage/water-treatment system; adequate healthcare; quality schools; and serviced housing estates). This would cost billions of dollars, which is not realistic for now for the reason stated above. So, yes we're seeing improvements in our cities but they're not at the pace and quality required. If we want to be honest with ourselves, in this Nigeria we're in today, our cities at best can only be considered 2nd tier cities, coming only after the likes of Lagos and Abuja have been considered. |
PennywysCares:You think he'd be doing thia if he didn't have the confidence that APC would 'pull out the stops' to see he gets reelected come 2019? Most APC politicians in the south-east and south-south (minus Edo) who run their mouth and sound so arrogant and cocksure are banking on APC to do the needful for them come 2019! |
Johnnyessence:So correct! Lawal Daura was doing his hatchet job all these years and it was sweeting APB/Buhari minions! Fast-forward to today and all you hear from them is 'ooops', as they realise that this time around Lawal Daura has overreached himself and his malfeasance could sink the ambitions of their darling Buhari come 2019! So what did they do? They did what any self-respecting minion would do to protect their god; they threw poor Lawal Daura under the bus, telling horrified onlookers as they walked away that he had it coming as he's responsible for all that's gone rotten in the Buhari administration right from 2015! |
Jax1:We all know what's happening here. Igbo haters are taking on fake Igbo identities and opening threads to set one Igbo state against another. And some silly Igbo are falling for it! Naive Igbo should be warned; the fact some people can go to this length to try and divide us shows the level of hate and envy some Nigerians habour towards us! This is why i laugh at some silly Igbo that let their guard down, think everything is ok, and go on to transact their everyday business and engage in politics thinking they're in a free, fair and united country. You walk past a dark alley, blissfully unaware of the danger that lurks in its shadows waiting for you; a 'fellow countryman' of yours from a certain ethnicity is waiting, dagger-in-hand...waiting for you to pass so he can emerge from the shadows to plunge his dagger deep into your back! So much for 'one united and peaceful Nigeria'! |
A commendable job done by a son of Ekwulobia. He constructed some of the inner roads of Ekwulobia, and the place is looking like a small London now. One thing i noticed which the state gov't needs to look into is this penchant for greedy landlords to build their perimeter walls almost on top of the roads, leaving little or no room for pedestrians to walk or future road widening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-q_38oTDBk |
