You are very correct. When Buhari wins, he will join the likes of Ngige, Onu and Okorocha to call the shots in the government. By 2023, he will be fully established

And this is what it's all about for him....throw your people under the bus to prove to the fulani oligarchs that you're ready to be their loyal slave and house-nigger! This was always his endgame!

bluefilm:
This is what Nnamdi Kanu should have been campaigning for.

If they cannot manage ordinary hostel properly, how can they manage a whole country?

Dirty pigs.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

'Dirty pigs that can't manage a hostel properly', yet when they asked for referendum you sent fulani soldiers after them to murder innocent Igbo youth in cold blood!

Gamesmart:
You must be stupid!

So you expect them to do magic in 3 years after 16 years of PDP mega-looting and misrule?

You must be daft!

Did anyone hold a gun to APCs head when you lot were going about all over the place pre-2015 elections, making promises of Uhuru and El-Dorado if voted in to power? Care to show me where you said you needed TWO TERMS to realise your promises?

Besides, you're talking as if a large percentage of the schmucks that currently make up that coven of witches aren't former PDP members!

I laugh when you trot out this old and tired excuse of '16 years of PDP mega-looting and misrule'! Put a lid on it as you're starting to sound like a broken record! APC has been in power for 3+ years, so how come we're yet to see them recover all the purported billions of dollars they accuse PDP of looting; how come Nigeria and Nigerians are worse off today than when PDP was 'looting the country dry', despite the fact price of oyel has been above projected budget estimates for at least the past two budgets and bearing in mind that we're no more 'swimming in kwarruption' since your god is now in charge and all 'kwarruption' loopholes have now been plugged?

Gamesmart:
Go and vote for Atiku.

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

If you don't have anything reasonable to say then STFU! It's been more than three years your god has been president yet this is what we're faced with at UNN....not forgetting that the current minister of education is a newspaper editor from the core muslim north, and this is happening under their watch!

One of your brothers (presumably) was bragging on here that Ahmadu Bello isn't like this. I'd be surprised if it was all things considered!

This is all what 'one Nigeria' means to you shameless leeching mofos....use it to take care of yourselves while the rest of the country can go screw themselves!

I posted this for a purpose but just look at how all these hypocrites avoided it like a plague. The core of discussion for SE development should center on this report but ITK people like Cjrane doesn't want to discuss it but will always be quick to jump on matters he has no clue to.

I think it's because the layout of the report is not user-friendly. I get a bit dizzy scrolling up and down to compare data of various states.

Pictorial views of Onitsha/Obosi/Nkpor always elicit nostalgia and pride in the heart of every true Igbo man/woman.

A lot of people are beginning to pay attention. When Igbo folks gather in Los Angeles, it is all about projects and projects in Ala Igbo.

I hear more of Asaba, Onitsha, Awka, Owerri, Aba, Enugu and a lot less about Lagos or Abuja these days.

Perhaps, Buhari and his herdmen are blessing in disguise.

It took someone like Buhari and a party like APC for us to begin to see the importance of aku luo uno, which if i'm to be honest, Anambra seems to be championing much more than any other state in the SE!

Oba, Anambra state. A new housing estate. ........

Can anyone in the know please tell us if these new areas gov't has approved for housing estates have been surveyed and properly serviced with the necessary infrastructure before plots are sold and building of houses begins?

Our development should be planned and in keeping with accepted best practices in developed countries of the world. After all, we're aiming for the Dubai model aren't we?

spyder880:
Heliu Residences, Enugu. Bungalows for sale........

All this noise and hype about HELIU estate yet they've not even got round to doing the roads! Don't know why construction jobs in the SE take forever to get off the ground, never mind to finish!

Still don't know why any international sports body would grant Nigeria hosting rights for any sporting competition. They must have been high on drugs when they were convinced to sign the dotted line!

Incase you are not aware !

Between 1983 and 1985, Peter Onu of Nigeria was Acting Secretary-General of the OAU. At the 1985 Summit in Addis Ababa, statesmen like Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, lobbied for his election as substantive Secretary-General. However, there was a major stumbling block to Peter Onu’s candidature: his Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was campaigning against him. Buhari claimed: “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country than Nigeria.” But when the crunch came, his allegiance to Nigeria disappeared. In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe... - Vanguard, February 3, 2015


The article is both interesting and troubling. At first I thought it was fake news. Then, I googled it and found it to be a true account in the book titled – _The OAU: Reality Or Fiction by Ibrahim Daggash, former Head of Information and Communication, Organization of African Unity (OAU); pg 69; ISBN 1-9044722-25-3._
Whilst the refusal of Gen. Mohammadu Buhari to aid the election of his country man to head the OAU in preference to his fellow Fulani Muslim from another country (Niger) is a glaring example of this man’s mindset is troubling, most troubling from the Author’s account was his reaction when the vote was tallied and Gen. Buhari found out his country man was defeated. Ibrahim Daggash in his aforesaid book narrated it as follows:
_“What was astonishing, when the vote was in favour of Niger’s candidate, the Nigerian Head rejoiced to such a degree that he was unable to control his emotions. That was a moment I witnessed and was convinced that General Buhary would not last long as a leader.”_

It is sad indeed ...!

I think this post needs to be reiterated again and again. Let all those knobheads that pretend not to know why Igbos dislike Buhari read and digest it! This is just one out of the bigots numerous sins against Ndigbo in particular and humanity in general!

iammo:
Not all northerners are like that, General yaradua from katsina stood his ground till he was murdered for democracy and MKO a Yoruba man. Atiku married a woman named jenifer an ibo woman, dangote stays in Lagos and relate freely with yorubas

Buhari on the other hand is insular and relates and only feels comfortable among his own kind (core northern muslims, mainly of the fulani stock)! This explains why he's placed mainly northern muslims to head military, para-military and other security organisations in the country, and why he found it difficult to swallow appointing anyone from the South East even months after he belatedly started making his appointments!

Dude hates Igbos!

EponOjuku:
@bolded, I'm honoured.

I love Igbos, I only have problems with Irresponsible Pigs of Biafra under which you are unfortunate enough to fall under.

Dude, i ain't surprised you're honoured! After all, you wear your hate like a badge don't you? Like i said earlier, i was expecting a grade one bigot like you to lead the charge so no surprises here!

Saying you only have a problem with IPOB is you trying to water down your hate to try and make it seem a bit 'justified'! Own your hate for Igbos and be proud of it like you claim to be!

So what do we know? We know that IPOB have given a stay-at-home instruction for two consecutive years now, and it's been complied with to varying degrees of success (esp' the one of the previous year) and shutting down commerce and other businesses in huge swathes of the SE and parts of Rivers and Delta States; we know that Mazi Kanu speeches have pulled mammoth crowds that politicians in the SE can only dream of matching; we know that the federal government is aware of IPOBs demands, including the demand for a referendum which they have not acquiesced to, suggesting they are afraid of the outcome of such an excercise; and finally, we now know from the aforementioned that IPOB represents the wishes and feelings of a majority of Ndigbo!

Now if we hold the above as fact (no matter how unpalatable it is for you to swallow) and you still sit there to claim hatred just for IPOB and not Igbos, doesn't that make you confused at best, and a two-faced liar at the very worst?

resurgent2019:
I don’t want to say what comes to mind not to annoy our brothers from across the Niger.

But the Federal Government need to assist the Easterners in finding a solution to this erosion menace. It doesn’t look pretty at all.

There's a report on erosion threatening a court complex in Awka, and you find it funny to the extent of showing a grinning emoticon.

Care to tell us why you're happy about this story?

When I say those flatheaded miscreants descended from Judas Iscariot, they'll start barking like mad puppies.

Judas Iscariot their ancestor sold Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver, these ones are simply following the steps of their ancestor.

Was scrolling down to see who'd be the first person to go 'tribal' and blame it on Igbos. No surprises it's you!

You have two options: either join the Biafra secession effort; or alternatively you can shut da fuc/k up! The choice is yours.

Oh and before i forget, could you tell us your ethnicity? Could be Ndigbo could learn a thing or two about your peoples correct morality and oodles of saintliness!

Cheers!

ghostfacekillar:
ur cousin? Y is he denying?

They were born abroad and their family settled in Lagos when they returned to Nigeria. My cousins grew up in Lagos.

There's mainly two reasons for this denial of being Igbo: it's either due to ignorance borne out of hardly ever having any links with Alaigbo, as in the case of my cousin and many other Ndonians born in Port Harcourt who grew up and did all their schooling there, and who as a consequence have lost that link with Onitsha/Alaigbo that their parents had; or out of pure greed and selfish interest! It's the latter ones you need to avoid as they can sell even their mama if it would help further their interests!

So what we're seeing now isn't 'the worst', and you're saying things could get even uglier?

If na joke stop am oh! No give person HBP this morning abeg!

Juliusmalema:
Let me brief u......he speaks igbo well is coz he grew up in anambra state.....not that he is igbo or related to igbo.....that is the simple fact....

I have met Ndoni people even the younger generation....of late last year in owerri I met another...he called his name and I asked u must be igbo.....he said NO....he is not igbo but Niger delta.....




So every argument I do have is coz of facts I have not people on nairaland claiming Igbo.

You're right on the bolded. There are some (like a cousin of mine) who claim not to be Igbo. I suppose it's all down to where you spent your formative years.

bestviewer:
The guy Xander is IGBOSON. He is from Rivers-Igbo the part that is next to Ogbaru but grew up in Onitsha. I think he attended DMGS or CKC. He is more inclined to the SE just like Cjrane who is Delta-Igbo, maybe because of their nearness.

Spot on bros!

Just wondering how you knew i was IGBOSON!

tiger28:
No mind them, this kenneth is smarter thsn all his kinfolks. Politics is about politcal calculations and bridge mending. Igbos are about to put ALL THEIR EGGS in one basket AGAIN!

Rubbish!

Ndigbo will still be around long after that evil despot in Aso Rock has left the scene! Upon all his wickedness and 5%, we're still waxing stronger!

Walahi!

OMANBALA1:
I don't believe you , one bit!

Hehehehehe

Didn't think you would!

If you know about Ndoni and its closeness to Onitsha, you just may start to believe! The parents and grandparents of most Ndonians were born, schooled and brought up in Onitsha. One of the richest men in Ndoni, Senator V.I Odili (who owns Brawal Shipping and who kindly gave me my first job) grew up in Onitsha, ditto ex-governor Odili (no relation of the Senator) and many others! Governor Odili attended CKC Onitsha and is also a Lion!

Yes they can. The problem is they (like many other ethnic groups in Nigeria) have become too attached to the apron-strings of 'one Nigeria' and hence they would prefer to remain in Nigeria as they probably don't have the confidence to go it alone.

You ever heard of Bini nationalism or separatist moves? Didn't think so!

Chuksonyeike:
We all know a Muslim can't win in taraba.Definitely not in the wake of the recent herdsmen attacks.She stands no chance

Normal reasoning would suggest so! But elections under this Buhari/APC gov't has nothing to do with the eventual 'winner' getting the higher number of validly cast votes; there are some states they can let go and some (like Ekiti, Ondo, Edo, Kaduna, Lagos and Rivers) that they would 'do the needful' to capture, and it looks like Taraba is one of them!

Remember how bloody recent elections have been in Rivers and Bayelsa states? Well, these states are ones their long throats wanted, but the Governors in these states proved too strong for them and they met a stiff resistance, coupled with the fact that their electorates really have no time for APC or Buhari!

I can tell you now that if she remains and contests under APC and seeing as she's a muslim (probably fulani), that you'd see Ekiti play out again in Taraba, and this would lead to bloodshed as they (the fulani invaders) would likely meet a stiff resistance.

Hehehehe

Pachuks Nig LTD!

I think that besides Ebonyi, and Enugu to a lesser extent, the rest states in the South East have suffered from shoddy works done by their state gov'ts...done in the name of 'delivering dividends of democracy'! They seem to be more interested in quantity rather than quality, just so they can point out the many roads they've done!

OMANBALA1:
Nwokem, you know you are not from Rivers but I want to know why you are claiming so.

So where do you think i'm from then, and what makes you think i'm not from Rivers? Or you find it surprising that someone from Rivers can be so pro-Igbo?

hammer6F:
Maybe Obiano should be thinking of creating a platform for joint-partnership.

Actually inviting them to embark on joint-venture. Perhaps Anambra state should establish financial institution or building sociaty to that effect.

The state acts as a middle man or business broker.

A state-owned sovereign wealth fund could have served as a vehicle on which this joint-partnership thing could be actualised. Considering the huge diaspora Anambra has spread out all over the world, they could easily raise $10 Billion over say a ten year period which could be invested in roads, the Onitsha river port, the int'l airport, power and a rail network connecting its major cities to one another with a branch leading to the sea port in either Port Harcourt or Calabar.

Juliusmalema:
please which state are u from?

No offence meant.

Rivers State. Why you ask?

hammer6F:
U touched on something that we have mentioned so many times on this site and got tired.

Y is it that Big business men in Igboland find it difficult to diverge into other equally profitable sector via joint partnership.

is it that they cannot work together?

The names u mentioned are just a few, we have more.

If these people can come together, Anambra state does not even need to be involved in business becos these names are more than capable financially.

Exactly! Besides Oilserv i mentioned earlier, there's also NESTOIL, Brittania-U and Emeka Offors' Chrome.

I think the unwillingness to form joint-partnerships is a Nigerian big man thing, and not peculiar to our Anambra or Igbo wealthy alone. Every Nigerian big man doesn't want to share the limelight with anyone else. They want to be the head honcho...Chairman and Chief-Executive....Oga pkatapkata...the one calling the shots, and a joint-partnership means they would get lost in the sea of all the other big men involved!
