To my understanding, I think that road was still under construction. It wasn't a completed road. They were dumb not to finish the construction before the heavy rainy season started.

Part of the reason we have been begging our people to stop cutting corners and take pride in promoting their name as a mark of QUALITY is because of stuff like this. I am glad that INNOSON has been taking steps to make his vehicles meet or surpass quality of imported vehicles. In time, the name IVM will stand out as a mark of quality automobile. Aba and Onitsha made shoes and products should have at least some companies doing quality products. This will make people who are prepared to pay for quality to look out for those brand names. I was elated when an electrician told me to buy cutix cable (Made in Nigeria) than the fake made in China which had flooded the market.

We truly bleed billions of dollars and jobs each year by awarding road contracts to foreign firms.

The reason for this is that our people never believe in doing quality job and have their company known as a quality brand name. So everyone is afraid of any bridge or road constructed by a Nigerian company. I wish our local construction companies will take quality seriously. It is a tragedy that due to constant low quality of work from local construction companies, our rulers now prefer foreign construction companies to tar even inner streets and do culverts and gutters.

Between yoruba and igbo who killed the dressing?

Azikwe father supervised yIGBO slavery to Britain while azikwe sold the whole race to tafawa balewa and Ahmadu Bello.

It's quite unfortunate that their children of now are days out of frustration,hate and jealousy will blame Awolowo,TINUBU and YORUBAS for their predicament and slavery to hausa fulanis

Chicagoesontop:
I keep saying it, Igbos has been there right from the onset waxing strong, but now what we got for our contribution in this country , is to be labeled terrorists, thieves and all sorts of bad names ...

I will keep saying it again and again, until this respect and status is restored back to the Igbos, this Nigeria will never work .. I happen to know Never say Never, but it this case i said NIGERIA WILL NEVER WORK WITHOUT THE IGBOS .. Mark my words .

If Oil dries up then there's no need for Nigerian unity any more. We can all go our different ways

As a Biafran supporter, I'm praying this Oil will dry up so that the Northerners will finally see no point to "one Nigeria" which will make it easier for my fellow Igbos to have their own separate country

Gamesmart:
You are a slowpoke! The question you did not answer was "Do you expect them to do magic in 3 years after 16 years of PDP mega-looting and misrule"?

TimeManager:
Lol.. Cherry picking, Very typical.

The Biafran Soldiers perpetrated so much atrocities in the Mid western region, including being carved out as Biafra protectorate after it was invaded, before it was later liberated by the NA. If you deny you have no historical record of such atrocities, then you can't be more dishonest with yourself.

kiss the truth!

TimeManager:
xander85, I am assuming you saw this.
Attack it objectively.

kiss the truth!

TimeManager:
You're only prodding aimlessly. ALL is FAIR in WAR. Biafran Soldiers could have done much worse had they made an incursion into the SW. Their crime of rape, killings and intimidation against the people of Mid Western region attested to such.

kiss the truth!

Throughout late 1966 and 1967 the tempo of violence increased. In September 1966 attacks on Ibos in the north were renewed with unprecedented ferocity, stirred up, eastern region officials believed, by northern political leaders. Reports circulated that troops from the northern region had participated in the massacres. The estimated number of deaths ranged from 10,000 to as high as 30,000. More than one million Ibos returned to the eastern region in fear.

These massive arms exports were being secretly supplied – indeed, massively stepped up – at a time when one could read about the actions of the recipients in the newspapers. After the Biafran withdrawal from the mid-west in September 1967 a series of massacres started against Ibo residents. The New York Times reported that over 5,000 had been killed in various towns of the mid west. About 1,000 Ibos were killed in Benin city by local people with the acquiescence of the federal forces, the New York Review noted in December 1967. Around 700 Ibo males were lined up and shot in the town of Asaba, the Observer reported in January 1968. According to eyewitnesses the Nigerian commander ordered the execution of every Ibo male over the age of ten.

Humanitarian suffering, especially starvation, was severe as a result of the FMG’s blockade of Biafra. Pictures of starving and malnourished children went around the world. The FMG was widely seen as indulging in atrocities and attacks against civilians, including apparently indiscriminate air strikes, in an increasingly brutal war in which civilians were the chief victims.

Xander85:
You see, this is the prevaricating and skirting around the question i asked you to avoid!

I'll repeat: TimeManager, based on your assertion that the Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Middle-Belt soldiers 'lay siege in the woods, plains and hilltops across the SE', are you categorically stating that said Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Middle-Belt soldiers took advantage of this to rape vulnerable Igbo women, which then led to the 'mixed DNA' you bragged about in your earlier post? As a consequence of this, are you positing that the Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Middle-Belt soldiers that took part in that war are rapists and war criminals....because this is the only deduction one can make from your statement!

My question requires either a YES or NO!

TimeManager, are you equally saying that it is normal and acceptable for soldiers to rape the women and children of the territory they're occupying/invading? Your post i'm quoting implies so, but i just want confirmation that i actually understood you right.

Kiss my black arsse!

TimeManager:
It is not unusual, fairly so, in time of war, that the NA would lay a siege in the woods, plains and hilltops across the SE border and not ease off with the relief that their women provide.. Such is generally applicable.

kiss the truth!

TimeManager:
I forgive your ignorance, my friend. You weren't born in 1967, at the time hundreds of Igbo women had children of unknown fathers to Hausa/Fulani, Middle belt and Yoruba stock of the Nigeria Army. Till date, thousands of children with a mixed gene populate the SE.. Even Ojukwu preferred not knowing the DNA of his so called children before his death.

I have said what is the solution to the nigeria problem today but they deleted it after 5 minutes, why do people enjoy living in denial?
the solution to the nigeria problem is BIAFRA, let biafra go and every other group will find the reason to go too and this will make every group to think deep outside oil which in know is the only reason you are still hearing of nigeria today. I know that every group has what it takes and the brains to succeed as a country

selemempe:
drinks are on me bro...take anything u want.

Wat i have been saying since. Recognise the 6 geopolitical zones as the federating units. Make north central and south south to be a minority-only zone. Which means the hausa-fulani and the yorubas found in north central should be joined with north west, north east and south west respectively. The igbos of ss should be joined with se.

Allow zones to own 50% of their resources. Allow zones to create their own local govt or provinces. Allow MOST things to be on concurrent list so that zones and fg can participate.

Offshore oil should then be shared equally among all zones and fg as a national asset. But the south south zone should get a little more than others in offshore oil sharing since oil minning infrastructure is in their region

blujoi:
In order to achieve our potential as a nation, we need a government that will fix the power situation,simple. Fix the power situation and watch Nigeria grow beyond our imaginations. Without power we will remain a sleeping giant

The coward sold you idiots out . He used your drug money to flee to enjoy life with his family abroad lol

Iwantslavesgone:
The coward fled like the other coward who ran off to Gabon . Ipob and briafrans are nothing but loud mouth cowards , who were born to be slaves and second class citizens.

Iwantslavesgone:
The python danced and the foolish cowards ran and hid for their lives. Stupid idiots of briafra, did they really think they could give Nigeria a bad name and we would let them go free without cutting their heads off before .

sekem:
You are really the daft one here

So you want to tell me that I must fulfill every promise I made to you just because I have already made it not minding the fact that realistically speaking, certain constraints have made it quite impossible for me to deliver on that particular promise?

Just look at you here mumbling about Nigeria being better under PDP looting than now and I can only ask you this: if only you will be able to tell yourself the truth, was there ever a time in Nigeria that we really had it so good?

The problem with most of you daft ones who are always complaining rather than positively contributing is that you guys suffer from severe memory loss which is why you always harbor this insane belief that yesterday was better than today

My friend, you better wake up and face the reality

Stop complaining about Nigeria's situation because we all already know the situation is absolutely messed up

Start providing us with meaningful solutions... that is, if you even have any at all, to start with

Gamesmart:


Go and vote for Atiku.

This would be regarded as 5 star accommodation by 2023 when he and PDP finish with the treasury.
